Hindu Philosophy- A Rational Life

Simulation hypothesis and Maya Kshitiz Gaur Simulation hypothesis, a theory of illusions and a concept of virtual reality is the major subject discussed mostly after the universe is explored in last many decades. Is the world really and really an illusion? A dream, a virtual as like of the video game, the moment you are playing game, you become a part of that game and involved in it as becoming of part and after the game end, it came out that the game was not reality.   Later the simulation theory developed into digital illusion as the internet or the computers that created profile and events, the artificial simulation or a computer simulation. The concept that took the illusion world as real leading to sceptical theory of life as Nick Bostrom suggested the epistemological formation is based on perception and lead to nowhere as like of science fiction.   Scientific groups quote Rationalist Rene Descartes that came up that one day we realize that the real world is like a dre

To my Lord Buddha  “To my Lord Buddha, the blessed one in all,   Becomes right and enlightened with own efforts  The supremely self enlightened in one and in all Extinguished forever, all the fire of desires”  And then coarse started-  “We devote ourselves to the teaching of the Buddha  And to the disciples of the blessed one   who are well practiced  We reverence the blessed one and his teachings and also his disciples.   With proper offerings to render supreme homage----“

Now high tech superstitions     Fifty years ago there was a small Temple of Ganesha – known as Ganpatiin a small village of India. It came by chance, when one farmer found that the shape of the stone was similar to some deity and he put that stone near a tree on his route to his farmland and while passing through the tree, occasionally, he started showing his faith and respect to that idol shaped stone. The incident went out to other people, not by television or not on social websites or viral   in social media but by mouth to mouth publically, and then, the small idol spot turned to a temple as a big worship place and a centre of faith with dozens of shops and hotels surrounding it.   Thousands of devotees daily come to this temple to offer sweets and money and employees are recruited to count the currency coming as offering. The money which lands in the temple is tax free income. And such incidents discriminate the truth from other things like faith and respect as it seems that t

By gods revered, by men adored Should all the other gods conspire? They could not frustrate they desire. The circling years which wear away? All else, to thee bring no decay. Though bloom-est on it youthful force, While countless ages run their course.  

Who knows the truth? Who here will pronounce whence this birth, Whence this creation, Gods appeared afterward, With the creation of this world, Who then know whence it arose.”

“O lord! Keep me not in the unreality”                                But lead me towards the reality   O Lord! Keep me not in the darkness But lead me towards the light O lord! keep me not in the fear But lead me towards the immortality O lord! may there be peace, peace and peace Om”

Indian philosophy - more rational than spiritual Kshitiz Gaur To visualize that philosophy stood still would be a fall into a great error, a fallacy, an invalid deduction, a wrong conclusion.  While talking about Indian philosophy, then it emerged from the beginning on a concrete ground of reasoning and logic. Philosophy is a static flowing process within society that shapes the concepts of every member. Hindu philosophy had testing system to assess their doctrines and even their metaphysics and ethics were tested well before pronouncing in the mass.  The dialectic method  of Hindus provided the space for debates and every school was prepared to be challenged by opponent before they advance for footing. Every school had their method of reasoning and logic and they debated with opponent to prove their versions. The method of reasoning and logic was common in these schools and they had not imposed any theory on society blowing loudly own their own. They made their theories open

Hindu Thoughts & Applied Philosophy   Socrates advanced- “Philosophy is what, which serves the humankind, is to be served and spread, but, if it is not what I believe then ruin it into dust.” Socrates seems to be speaking about the subject philosophy on the line of American pragmatism, evaluating the usefulness of the truth and hurl the subject in dustbin if it is found useless. Socrates meant the practicality of the subject in the manner it should serve humanity and prove the validity of the subject by its great richness. The assertion truly advises the usefulness of the subject. But Socrates was neither pragmatic in concept nor in character and his statement about ruining the subject into dust shows his confidence in self that philosophy is the only subject that serves the mankind. The statement seems that Socrates threw the challenge to opponents, very boldly, and his statement was somewhat similar to the proclamation that as sciences and technologies these days are se
