Two Magnificent Tributes Changanpuzha's tribute to Kalidasa reminded one of the magnificent tribute to Dante by Longfellow. I enter, I see thee in the gloom, +++OF the long aisles, O Poet Saturnine ! ( Saturn, the Melancholy Planet, Was rising at Dante's Nativity ) ++++++Thy Sacred Song is like the Trump of Doom, +++++++++And in thy bosom what human sympathies, What soft compassion glows; as in the skies, The tender stars with their shaded lamps relume. With snow white veil and garments of flame, She ( Beatrice ) stands beforee thee who not long ago, Filled thy young heart with the passion and the woe, From which thy Song and and all its splendors came ! I wake amaze and in the windows bright, Shine the forms of holy who died, Hereafter martyred, And hereafter crucified. And the Great Rose upon its leaves displays, Love's triumph and the angellc roundelays, With splendor upon splendor multiplied, And Beatrice again at Dante's side ! O star of Morning and Liberty, O Bringer of the Light, whose splendor Shines above darkness of Alps, Forerunner of the day that is to be ! About Kalidasa, the Poet Laureate of Kerala wrote, Centuries may have come and gone, After thy rise in the Orient, But in the eternal horizon of Universal Memory, Thou art the star which changeth not ! O intellectual great ! Thou lit a Coral Light, In the bosom of universal culture ! Into that Silver Light of Poetry, Human intellects are magnetically drawn ! In the holiest of holy lands, Wherein the Geetha is dissolved, Any Poetry which sprouts, Will come to sacred fruition. Unlike clouds that disappear Love alters not nor wanes Thou madest such clouds sIng Love ETERNAL In Thy noble poem, Megha Sandesa ! Thou taught Justice and Rghteousness, Though the Greatest Exemplar, Lord Rama, One of the greatest Exemplars, Lord proved that Dharma is all in all! Thou made the Divine Mother Shine eternally like the Eternal lover ! Pining eternally for Her Beloved, In mighty Kumara Sambhava Thy statue worshipping Lord Shiva Became one of the greatest ever In World Sculpture,the classic Immortal Lover, Pining for Purusha, Her Lord. Thou made a statement grand. That that the body comes first ,before all. Without Body, no Self Actualisation, Sareeram Adyam Khalu Dharma Sadhanam ! Thou defined Self as Universe pervading Ya Sthita Vyapya Viswam ......... Thou defined HIm as Atheist greatest, As to Him, there is no principle higher ! ( jagadeeso Nireeswarah ! )
Kranti Vritta, the Slanted Circle
Of Deity
The Accidental is coincidental, And is merely the Providential disguised ! He doesnt want to be known as Savior, So He comes disguised as Chance ! As terrestrial and celestial causes, Shape Destiny; Providence Divine, Coincides entirely with natural causes, As Nature and Destiny are one. The Universe is a phenomenon perpetual, As perpetual as Eternity Silent ! Not a freak of Matter without importance, Not a freak of Spirit unexplainable ! An indeterminate determination, averred Aurobindo, A boundless finite,said Einstein. Expressions paradoxical, Pointing to a Mystery Suprarational ! When the Unitarian Consciousness became threefold, ( When Thou as AUM diversified into states three, Waking, deaming aand dreamless sleep, as A U and M,) Thou witnessed Thy own manifestations, Imparting Consciousness and eternally presiding, In the Form of the Lord Guru, to Thee we bow ! Omkaramaya Porul Moonnay Pirinjudane, Amkaramaayathinu Than Thanne Sakshi, Athu Bodham varuthi Athinalaayi Ninna, Paramacharya Roopa ! Hari Narayanaya Namah Thou art the Father of the Universe, Thou art the true Guru Universal ! Pitasi Lokasya Characharasya, Tvamasya Poojyasya Gurur Gareeyan ! Didnt Thou reveal as such, Also its Mother and Grandfather ! Pitahamasya Jagatho Mata Data Pitamaha ! I am the sacred AUM, I am the Threefold Veds, Vedyam Pavithram Omkaram Rik Sama Yajur eva cha. Dante spoke about Three In One, Three Eternal Persons in One, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, Aum, Tat and Sat. Father is Sat, Absolute Unmanifested, Son is Tat, the Cosmic Creative Intelligence, Christ Consciousness immanent, In creation vibratory ! These Three symbolise, Immanence, Transcendence and Cosmicity, Properties of the triune Being. The Trinitarian Unity. Can you conceive of A triangle made up of right angles? It is inconceivable, And so is the Divine ! Teachings of two Maharshis, Bhagavan Ramana and Bhagavan Aurobindo, May seem contradictory, Illusionism and Realism ! But we have to understand, That there are no many Bhagavans, But the First Guru in many aspects, The Adi Guru, the Purushotama Guru. Thou art the First Guru, Whom Buddhists call Buddha, Whom Christian call Christos And Muslims, Allah ! Om Tat Sat Sree Narayana Too Purushotama Guru Too Siddha Bua Too, Skanda Vinayak, Savita Pavaka Too Brahma Vastu Too, Yahova Sakti Too, Yesu Pita Prabhu Too Rudra Vishnu Too, Rama Krishna Too, Rahimatavo Too! _____________________________________________________________________________
About Advaita Vedanta Sastra
The Philosopher is a rebel,
He is against the outworn fetishes
Of a purblind system social,
And he will fight for Justice.
God is the Second Principle,
In Advaita Vedanta Sastra !
God is partt of the Relative Triad,
Hence, only relatively real !
Absolute Brahman became Cosmic Mind,
Giving rise to Jagat, Jiva and Para.
Absolute became Relative, doing so,
And the Relative cannot be absolutely real !
The Same, the Same, friend and enemy,
Are the Same Substance and the Stuff .
Is such that the variations of form
Are unimportant indeed.
The Non Self isr defined first,
In order to differentiate it from Self.
From the Macrocosm to Microcosm.
All that you see is Non Self.
Absolute Reality and Relative Reality
Are two types of Reality
Maya, Mithya means Relative Reality
And Brahman, Absolute Reality.
Maya means everything is Mind,
Mind is Substance, Perception is Essence.
Everything is externalised and internalised,
By Mind, the main enemy of Man !
In the Western, the Self,
Has been variously defined.
As Reason in Aristotle
And as Will Power in Nietzsche.
The Adi Sastra defined the Self,
As Attributteless,Actionless, Eternal,
Formless, Verity, Non Dual, Sublime,
Birthless, Deathless and Absolute !
Upanishadic Equations
There is no joy in the Finite. Na Alpe Sukham Asthi. Infinity = Bliss Anandam Brahma. This may seem to the worldly wise A too ultra-worldly statement ! But this is true indeed And endorsed by the wise ! Embrace Infinity to enjoy Immensity of the Cosmic Liberty of the Transcendent And Joy of the Immanent. Finite indicates worldly Life, Which is full of sorrow, Sarvam Dukham, Sarvam Shoonyam Sarvam Kshanikam, Sarvam Vyartham ! There is no happiness in Indra’s Heaven ! Even Emperors search for mental peace ! Na cha Indranam sukham kinchil Na sukham Chakravartina ! Mental Peace can only be attained If you live like a Yogi. Sukham Asthi Viraktheshu Muner Ekanta Jeevita. Enlightenment = Perpetual Bliss Sukha Neervana Roopatha ! Sensory Pleasures = Bondage Hard Sacrifice = High Heaven Of Relative Knowledge & Absolute Knowledge, Apara Vidya & Para Vidya The Knowers of Brahman Speak of Knowledge as Twofold Relative Knowledge & Absolute Knowledge, Apara Vidya & Para Vidya Ithee hi yad Brahmavido Vadanti, Para chaiva Apara cha. Apara Vidya = Relative Knowledge Para Vidya = Absolute Knowledge Chemistry, Physics, Biology et al Are Sciences of the Relative ! Even Astronomy, Maths & Astrology Are all Relative Knowledge ! The Fivefold Ephemeris, Pancha Anga Is nothing but Apara Vidya Pancha Anga means Five Limbs, The Five Limbs of Time Eternal ! Lunation = Thidhi = 12 degrees Lunar Longitude – Solar Longitude, There are fifteen of them. Known as the 15 Kalas of the Moon Lunar Mansions = Nakshatras There are twenty seven of them Caused by the Moon's journey Through the 27 constellations ! Week Day = Vara Based on First Planetary Hour, Kala Hora. There are 24 Kala Horas, Dina Dwadasamso Matha Kala Hora Eternal Combinations = Nitya Yogas Lunar Longitude + Solar Longitude, There are twenty seven of them. Dealing with general characteristics of men. Half Lunation = Karana =6 degrees Thidhi Ardham Karanam Proktam These Five Variables constitute Mighty Eternal Hindu Ephemeris

Kerala School of Astronomy
Abstract
It is well known that the Kerala school of astronomy, pioneered by Mādhava in the fourteenth century, made remarkable contributions to the development of calculus. In this chapter, we shall summarize the equally significant contribution made by the Kerala astronomers to the development of planetary theory. By 1500 CE, Nīlakaṇṭha Somayājī came up with a remarkable revision of the traditional Indian planetary theory, in which, for the first time in the History of Astronomy, he arrives at a correct formulation of the equation of center and the latitudinal motion of the interior planets, which in turn makes his model computationally equivalent to the Keplerian theory under certain approximation.

Poetical is mightier than the Political,

Poetical is mightier than the Political,
As Kavyam Kalpantara Sthayee !
Poetry transcends Cosmological Cycles,
Politics is subject to cyclical upheavals !
Where is Roman Empire now?
Or the British ?
Are not political empires subject,
To cyclical upheavals of Time?
There is no comparison between,
A Poet and a King.
King is worshipped in his own country,
Whereas a Poet is worshipped everywhere.
Kavitvam cha Nripatvam cha
Naiva tulyam kadachana.
Swadeshe Poojyate Raja,
Kaveendra Sarvatra Poojyate.
The Fool is worshipped ,
Only in his house !
Just like a Lord, who is worshipped,
In his village only.
Swa grihe poojyate moodah,
Swa grame poojyate prabhu
Swadeshe Poojyate Raja,
Kaveendra Sarvatra Poojyate.
The Magnificent Tribute – Changampuzha’s to Kalidasa
O Changampuzha, while extolling the Master Poet,
Thou proved that thou art a poet par excellence !
Thy tribute is glorious and magnificent,
Thy tribute is glorious and magnificent,
And can inspire millions !!
Tribute Superb
Even though centuries have elapsed,
After thy glorious exit,
Thou shineth like a star undecaying,
In the horizon of eternal remembrance !
“From whence this eloquence?”.
Asthi Kaschit Vag Vilasah ?”
Asked thy Princess-wife,
When silver tongued oratory blessed thee !
Glorious poems poured out of thee,
As if Wisdom’s Deity was dancing,
On thy tongue; Her positive response,
To prayer ” Nrithamadenum Saraswatee “
Thy foray into Transcendence,
Was pictured by the wise,
As an encounter with Time Eternal,
The Mighty Kala Swaroopini, Kali !
Thy mind settled in the Quantum Ground State,
And Hippocrene poured out of thee !
Mind Indian vibrates in pride
At the very mention of thy name !
Heaven and Earth were integrated by thee,
In thy magnum opus, the Sakuntala.
Thou extolled the greatness of Beauty,
And redemption through Beauty Eternal !
Lokavum Naakavum Kootti inakki nee,
Shakunthalathil Kanaka shalakayal.
Meghangalallatha Sanatana Premama,
Meghathine kondu eduthu paadichu nee !
About Love Everlasting which is not cloud,
Thou made the clouds sing about it ( Megha Sandesa ) !
Thou taught via royal Raghu,
Ethics and Morality of the Eternal ! ( Raghu Vamsa )
Thou extolled sacrifice of Mother Divine,
In Kumara Sambhava, equating Her,
With the Three Idols Of Indian Womanhood,
Famous trio, Sita, Sati & Savithri !

Unique Feature of Indian Culture – Scientific & Artistic Knowledge in Poetic Form
Scientific Knowledge in Poetic Form
All the Eighteen intuitive sciences & the Eighteen eternal arts are in magnificent poetic form. There are 400 K verses in Mythology, 400 K verses of Siddhanta, Samhita & Hora and millions on other subjects also. The Law of Epistemic Correlation, that all branches of Knowledge are interrelated, find its fulfillment here, as All knowledge is One Knowledge.
In Indan Astronomy, while calculating the Sheeghra Anomaly based on the Geometrical Model of Parameswara, the following verse is given by Puliyoor
Arka Sphutoniham Kheda Mandasphuta mihoditham
Sparsajya Sheegrakendrardha Labhda karnathara hatha
Karna Yoga hritha bhooya sparsa chapatmaka kritha
Shoditha sheegrakendrardhal syath phalam sheegrasamjnakam
To get Sheeghra Anomaly,
Angle between planet and Sun
Deduct Sun’s Longitude
From Ecliptic Degree.
Sheeghra Anomaly = Ecliptic longitude of planet – Longitude of the Mean Sun.
x, Sheeghra Phalam is the angle formed between the Sun, the planet and the Earth. It is computed as per the formula.
Tan A/2 – x = ( b – a) /( b + a) Tan A/2
”where A is the Sheeghra Kendra, a is the Ravi Manda Karna ( Sun’s distance ), b the Graha Manda Karna ( distance of the planet from the Sun ) and x the Sheeghra Phalam “
Source : The Ganitha Nirnaya
Artistic Knowledge in Poetic Form
“Yatho Hasta thatho Drishti,
Yatho Drishti thatho Manah
Yatho Manah thatho Bhaava,
Yatho Bhaava thatho Rasa.”
Eyes go where the hands are
Mind goeth after eyes biune
Whither Mind goeth, Bhava manifests
With Bhava, Rasa, mood is evoked.
Source : Natya Sastra
…….And the Poet of all Poets , Kavee Kaveenam, is He !
Kavim Puranam anusasitaram
Anor Aniyamsam anusmared yah
Sarvasya Dhataram acintya-rupam
Aditya-varnam tamasah parastat
The Ancient, the Poet of all Poets,
Subtler than the subtlest,
Of Form Unthinkable,
Resides in all as Love
Being the Substratum of all,
Beyond worldly desire,
And Transcendental,
Should be meditated upon.

Chaandra Siddhanta II
Chandra Siddhanta II, Theory of Luna
In the Orient, Lalla contributed heavily to the Lunar Theory, as did Newton, Ptolemy & Brahe in the Occident !
Both are great Civilizations and none plagiarized from the other !
John Playfair, mathematician,
Extolled the Eternians,
For their possession of a Calculus
Equivalent to Trignometry.
( Did not Einstein say
Indians taught us Maths ?
Or the great Laplace, that System Decimal
Is Indian in origin ? )
The multi step algorithms
Of mighty Hindu Astronomy
Is known as Graha Sphuta Ganita,
Base of all Panchang computations.
We have not defined Vipata Kendra,
The Vipata Anomaly,
Vi means without
Patha means Node.
Vipata Anomaly means Angle
Between Position and Node.
This is the Second Correction,
Position reduced to Ecliptic.
Manda Anomaly means Angle
Between Position and Aphelion
Sheeghra Anomaly means Angle
Between Position and Sun
By Position we mean
The Position of the Planet.
Aphelion is a Point,
180 degrees away from Perihelion.
Of the Fourteen Kendras plotted
The First One deals with the Annual Equation
Moon accelerates during July
And decelerates during Jan !
First Kendra Sin ( Mr + 180 ) * 658
The Second dealt with Equation Parallactic
Sun’s perturbing action on Luna
Creates inequalities in her motion
Second Kendra Sin ( Lc – Lr ) * 121
The Third dealt with Evection,
Moon seems to be carried away
By the Sun’s celestial pull !
Third Kendra Sin ( 2*T – Mc ) * 4467
The Fourth deals with The Variation
Moon accelerates at 0 and 180
And decelerates at 90 and 270
Fourth Kendra Sin ( 2*T + 6 Signs ) * 2145
All these Four
Are major perturbations.
Ten more are there
Needing corrections trignometric!
Anomaly is defined as the Angle
Between Position & Perihelion
There is no Eccentric Anomaly,
In Indian computations !

Chandra Siddhanta, Lunar Theory
Chandra Sphuta Siddhanta
The Moon, in his journey of the Zodiac, through the 27 constellations, creates the 27 Nakshatras, which have been defined as the Lunar Mansions of Hindu Astronomy, each one of them occupying 13 degrees 20 minutes of the Zodiac.
Chandra Siddhanta, Lunar Theory
This is the Equation given for the Moon’s largest perturbation. The Moon seems to be carried away by the immense gravitational pull of the Sun, causing its Ecliptic longitude to vary as much as 1.3 degrees. This has been referred to as the third major angle, Kendra, between Sthithi & Mandoccha in Ganitha Nirnaya and as the second Anomaly in Greek Astronomy, anomaly being the angle between position and perihelion.
Third Kendra
Sin ( 2*T – Mc ) * 4467
Where Mc = Chandra Madhyamam, Mean longitude of Chandra, T = Thidhi = Longitude of Chandra – Longitude of Soorya
Working on Chandra Siddhanta,
Major Theory of the Moon,
Fourteen Kendras, angles were plotted
By ace astronomers.
Small, small Manda anomalies,
Angles between position & aphelion
As fourteen major perturbations
Of the Moon were identified !
The Essence of Sidddhantas Eighteen
Is the Sanskrit Ganita Nirnaya
Puliyoor studied all eighteen
Plus Aryaabhaateeya and Maha Bhaskareeya.
Siddhantas Arya, Brahma Sphuta,
Pancha Siddantika and Siddhanta Siromani,
And came out with a gem
Based on Parameswara’s Model Geometric !
The Longitude Corrected Thrice,
Manda means Reduction to Heliocentric
Parinathi means Reduction to Ecliptic
And Sheeghra means Reduction to Geocentric
OF PRECALCULATION & PREDESTINATION
Eternal Law stands for World Peace
Eternal Law is Universal Love
Eternal Law is Art Supernql,
Eternal Law is Science Absolute !
The Law as Revealed
Is nothing but Universal Love !
Mightier than the sword,
Love is the greatest Deity !
The Teacher of all Teachers,
Vieled wealth is Love.
Fame acrrues from Love,
Love is Guu Divine !
All yearn for Love,
Love is the sole Wealth
World turns into a tomb
If Love is withdrawn !
If Love is withdrawn !
Love is a manna sent from Heaven,
Sent to elevate our low desire !
Love alone can conquer our negative aspect,
The Mr Hyde or the Dark Form of Diti !
Diti & Aditi, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde,
Are locked in eternal combat in us,
Diti symbolises our negative aspect,
And Aditi, the positve.
The Spacelees and Timeless Existence,
Sole Cause for Space, Time and Cosmos,
Breathed Love into the created,
Who are capable of loving !
This Eternal Love,
Manifested as new loves,
As per His Thought, Logos,
“May I become Many” !
This Pure Existent which exponentiated itself,
For Rasa or sheer delight of Being,
Manifested as trillions of forms,
So it could realise itself innumerably !
This DIvine Consciousness,
Which manifested as the Sevenfold Chord,
( Life, Matter, Mind, Supermind, Being, Knowledge & Bliss ),
Breathed the greatest mantra called Love !
They say Virtue alone ennobles,
Sola Virtus Nobilitat !
But we say Love alone ennobles,
Sola Amor Nobilitat !
This Great Geometer,
Cause of Pre Destination,
And Pre Calculation,
Is nothing but an Ocean of Love!
What is Pre Calculation ?
4 seconds is one Asu ( Life Span of Breath) ,
A day is 24 hours or 1440 minutes,
Or 86400 seconds or 21600 Asus!
Exhalation and Inhalation resemble Soham ( I am He )
So man unconsciously affirms,
His Identity with DIvinity,
21600 times a day !
Another example is the Precessinal Cycle,
Calxulated by Geometer Great,
Of 25920 solar years,
Or 360 * 72, to be exact !
What is PreDestination?
The Pure Existent, who becomes everywhere,
Has ordered all things perfectly,
From years sempiternal !
Exponents of Pre Destination point out,
That Lord Krishna did not block,
The death of Abhimanyu, Arjuna’s son,
In the mighty epic, Maha Bharata !
Anti Thesis is the story of Markandeya,
Who was fated to die early,
But then he caught hold of the Ellipsoid Emblem of Siva,
And was miraculously saved !
