Regarding the controversial book, The Hindus, An Alternative History by Wendy Doniger

The Exoteric and the Esoteric are
different. Those who study the Exoteric miss the Wisdom of the Esoteric. Just
giving a superficial opinion that religious traditions are mere amalgamations
of many practices exposes the author’s ignorance of Esoteric Wisdom ! She has
not understood what Henry David Thoreau said ” The English sense has toiled, but
Hindu Wisdom never perspires ” or what Annie Besant said ” After a study of 40
years, of all the great religions of the world, I find none so scientific, none
so philosophic, none so systematic as the great Religion we know by the name of
Hinduism” !


Physicalists and literalists cannot
understand the Eternal Law, the Santan Dharma !
Neither the Esoteric nor the Exoteric !

The Song Revealed to the Discriminative Intellect by the Self

That which was revealed to the discriminative intellect
Revealed by the Absolute Self
Intuited by the Master Mystic, Vyasa
And other Masters of yore
The conferror of Advaitic Wisdom
The true Mother Divine
Composed of eighteen chapters glorious
O Mighty Mother celestial
We bow to Thee !




Parthena Pratibhoditham
Bhagavata Narayanena Swayam
Vyasene Gradhitam
Purana Munina Madhye Mahabharatam
Advaitaamrita Varshineem
Bhagavateem
Ashta Dasa Dhyayinieem
Amba tvam Anu sandhadami
Bhagavat Geethe
Paradvesineem

The Geetha is verily our Mother, a Lamp lit by the Lord, the Science of the Absolute and  the Scripture on Yoga. The Lord milked the 16008 Upanishads ( allegorically depicted as His wives ) and the quintessence thus got is this Song Celestial or Bhagavat Geeta. 



The Self is Rider
The body intellect
Mind the reins
And chariot  human body !

Atmanam Radhinam Viddhi
Sareeram Ratham eva Cha

Buddhim thu Saradhim Viddhi
Mana Pragrahameva cha !



The Fivefold Pranic Energy !

This is the Fivefold Pranic Energy. Prana, Apana, Samana, Vyana and Udana.
We have the statement ‘ Pancha Prana Prabhavanti Tasmat”, that is the Fivefold
Pranic Energy started from Thee.





 Prana is the breath of life and moves in the upper parts of the body. It
brings the Universal Life Force into the physical system and distributes
itself.



The second, Apana, is the breath of Death. for it gives the Vital
Force out of the body.





The third, Samana, regulates both these
forces. Equalises and maintains equilibrium





The fourth, Vyana,
distributes vital energies throughout the body.





 The Fifth, Udana,
moves upwards from the body to the crown and is a regular channel between the
worlds of Matter and Spirit !

India, the home of the most profound knowledge !

Dr Robert Keith Wallace, the ex President of Maharshi International

University, Fairfield, Iowa said this when he came to India

It is
appropriate to recognise India as the home of the most profound
knowledge
and the procedures fro the development of Physiology.

In his
“Neurophysiology of Enlightenment”, he remarks ” What the ancients
meant by
Supreme Knowledge, Jnana, was a state of perfect order, Zero
Entropy”
!

May his soul rest in peace ! 

The Scientia Prima, the First Science, the Vedanta Sastra !

The First Science, the Scientia Prima

All sciences study
Being.

Physics is the Science of Being as Matter.
Mathematics is the
Science of Being as Numbers.
Chemistry is the Science of Being as
Qualities
Biology is the Science of Being as Life.

But the Scientia
Prima, the First Science, Vedanta Sastra, is the Science of Being as Being, in
its pure state. And in its pure state, it is as Absolute Being !

And what
is the Absolute ? It is one immutably homogenous Infinite.

The Universe
has no center or circumference. It would have had a circumference, if it had a
center. Since the Universe has no center or circumference, and since it could
not be enclosed in any center or circumference, it would be unintelligible,
without Being, without the Absolute, as the Center and the
Circumference.

The Philosophia Prima, the First Philosophy, was the name
given by Locke to Ontology and later by Hobbes to Metaphysics !

In our
terminology, this is the First Science, the Scientia Prima, the Adi Sastra, the
Prathama Sastra, the Vedanta Sastra !

Politics, the 8th Science of Philosophia Indica

Is Politics a Science ? Yes, it is, it is the Science of the State. In India, it
is not Politics which is ruling, it is Poly Tricks, as the nation is held to
ransom by politricians !

According to Western Philosophy, it is the
seventh science.

In the Indian, it is closely related to Kaulilya’s Artha
Sastra, the 8th Science of Indian Philosophy !

These are the seven
sciences which constitute Western Philosophy.

Ontology – The Science of
Being
Epistemology – The Science of Knowledge
Axiology – The Science of
Value
Aesthetics – The Science of Beauty
Ethics – The Science of
Character
Logic – The Science of the regulative principles of
Thought
Politics – the Science of the State.

The divine principle ” Do
harm to none ( Ahimsa Paramo Dharma ) ” is a noble virtue indeed. But this is a
spiritual principle and cannot be brought to the mundane plane. If you implement
this principle in the state, crime and lawlessness will prevail. Machiavelli in
“The Prince” talks about two Dukes. One Duke was kind and hence lawless raised
its ugly head in his kingdom. The other one was cruel, but there was perfect
discipline in his kingdom. So Machiavelli says’ About Cruelty and Clemency –
Whether it is better to be loved or feared , to be feared is better | ! He even
went to the extent of saying that killing is a legitimate instrument of state
policy !

Aurobindo was realistic. He said Love can only win in the end,
after a titanic clash ” The Law of Vishnu ( Love ) cannot prevail, until debts
to Rudra ( war ) are paid” !
