A New era of Science

It has been a long held concept in India that the entire Universe is within you. Present day physics would never be able to explain this. A new understanding of Physics is slowly emerging, be ready to change the way you think of science.

All particles reflection of one object

Researchers have identified that during experimentation, subatomic particles like electrons communicate with each other irrespective of the distance between them. They might be divided by a few nano meters or light years apart, they seems to communicate instantly. This is against the rules of physics today, for according to today's physics everything in this universe is governed by the principle 'nothing tranvels faster than speed of light'.

David Bohm explains this concept this way. Consider two different camera views of a Fish aquarium, without proper understanding we would think that the two fishes in two monitors are communicating instantly the way they move, whereas in fact both of them are the same.

The whole in every part

A small glimpse into how 3d Laser Holograms work. A hologram is a three-dimensional photograph made with the aid of a laser. To make a hologram, the object to be photographed is first bathed in the light of a laser beam. Then a second laser beam is bounced off the reflected' light of the first and the resulting interference pattern is captured on film. When the film is developed, it looks like a meaningless swirl of light and dark lines. But as soon as the developed film is illuminated by another laser beam, a three-dimensional image of the original object appears.

The uniquesness of this film is that if it is cut into half, we would expect that half of the information would be lost, but infact nothing is lost, the hologram produced out of this half would be half the size of the original image. i.e every part of the film contains all information.

Working of Brain

Neurophysicts are convinced that our brain should work similar to the way a holographic pattern works. It has been noticed that no matter which neuron is removed, a rat forgot a particular pattern that it has learned.

It means that the memories and patterns on our brain are not confided to certain areas, whereas they are dispersed all over the pattern of neurons.

What happens if we combine all the three concepts

We would notice that paranormal is no more paranormal. Things like Telepathy, Time Travel, Knowledge of the future would become normal for in a holographic universe everything is connected and an illusionary projection, Space and Time are only holographic patterns. We could predict the future by reading the patterns of our palm. We could place ourselves in the future or the distant past in any space coordinates, we would not need a machine for we ourselves are the most complex machines in the universe.

Science could explain various things from vedanta like my first statement 'the entire Universe is within you'. A hundred years back Swami Vivekananda went to meet the western scientists in quest of scientifically proving vedantic concepts. He would've been excited if he ever came across this article. This is more remarkable discovery than anything else done before, for it allows us to know our identity in this creation, more important how the system is interconnected.

When Am I most active

This pattern from Google search history collected over a period of 9 months gave me a good chance to analyze what time I'm most active.



FYI this data is collected by Google Search History You need to login to your google account while searching for your searches to be logged to their servers. Google people are getting too deep into analytics of late, last year they acquired a major analytics company, Urchin, Now this should redirect to the Google analytics page. Interested thing is Google is ready to give the power of analytics to the entire world free, which used to cost $299, when it was Urchin.

So much of Data Center power is giving Google to analyse and organise world information, this is really awesome information for the world to see. But is the information in good hands, will it continue remaining in good hands, how much is this kind of statistics going to make the world better, will it change our online behaviour, how are the intelligence agencies, say CIA connected to Google. If we have so much of statistics to see, how much of statistics is available internal to Google.

So many Qs ... my fav quote again ... Time will answer.

Vegetarianism

I've lied for this question to many people about why I've taken to vegetarian food, or rather say stopped non vegetarian food. Indeed its so peculiar of me who used to argue that non vegetarian food is more protein rich and more suitable for appettite. I've tasted almost all kinds of non vegetarian food, well don't think I've tasted cockroaches and frogs. Let me be more specific ... chicken, mutton, fish, turkey, prawns, crabs, beef, shark and a thing they call kaadai in Thamizh. But why did I become a veggie ??

People think Its sin to kill animals !! for some its against their religion !! some just don't like the smell of it !! some say Its for spiritual development !!

What do I think ?

I think ..... Well its a long story.

Long time ago, so long I even forgot where I read this article, I read about a doctor who was serving in some remote part of Africa. He writes about one of the incidents that happened to him about how he escaped death from a Lion and what were his feelings in those minutes. He says that he was being carried away by a Lion and he was totally consious but didn't feel the slightest pain. "I know I'm going to be devoured by the Lion, but I did not attempt to escape from the jaws of the Lion. I was rescued by a group of villagers. After I recovered from this incident I started analyzing the psychology associated. I saw a rat in the jaws of the cat, once it is in the jaws of the cat it never attempts to escape from it though Its totally consious. A sense of Analgesia."

He wrote a paper on what happens at near death experiences. The paper says that at near death experiences the body automatically generates anesthetics. This reaction is caused by fear. It's a sudden reflex to the emergency situations. In this state the body lies in a dormant state, the mind doesn't work, you become actionless.

But what has this above story gotta do with being a vegetarian ?

Well its like this when we kill animals for their meat a panic signal is raised in the brain of the animals and instantaneously enzymes, antibodies, anesthetics are generated in their body and circulated throughout their body. These enzymes remain in the food we take and when these small quantities of these enzymes reach our blood, our body they cause slight amount of drowsiness, inactivity of mind. This amount of inactivity is so small that we can't easily detect it by external look.

But this effect is only very minor ? Why should we avoid Non Vegetarian food totally ?

The mind works in a very subtle manner. The more you tune it the better it gets. There are many people who have stretched its limit and still are not sure that more cannot be possible. Mostly the power of mind is still to be explored, say for example Hypnotism, Its a very powerful science, but there are very few people who know what the real power of hypnotism is.

ok back to the topic

People who are accustomed to nonveg food do not feel the difference immediately. The blood takes longer period to get totally replaced. Its also necessary that our body be free of other intoxicants like nicotin and alcohol.

So what is the final conclusion ?

People who think they need to control the mind, who think they shlould develop spiritually should think about taking vegetarian food.

Whatelse ?

There is more to it. Time will answer those questions.

Movie I'm looking forward to

This would be the movie I'll be looking forward to, only disappointment, Its slated to release in 2007, It will be one of the biggest budget ever to be spent on an Indian movie, rough estimated 300 Crores. Yes it will be a trilogy, once in the theaters it will easily be one of the best movies in the world, nothing would compete with it, rumours are that the special effect creators for Lord of the Rings will be making the special effects for this movie too. It will cast Sharukh Khan, Amir Khan and Rani Mukherjee.

The movie is Mahabharata -> Official Website

Today I was watching B.R Chopra's Mahabharata being aired on Jaya TV. I didn't quiet like the series. Reason - It lacked the grandeur of the epic, It lacked the subtlety of the great characters. Somehow felt as though it was a puppet show. I thought if a story like Harry Potter could make wonders, How great would it be if Mahabharatha was retold as a movie like this? I was sure that this epic would be made into a movie in the future, never expected to stumble on an website within an hour !!

Countdown to 2007 starts now ...

Relativity in ancient India

Many of us today are aware of the theory of relativity, We think its a recent scientific thought. But sometime back I stumbled upon a story from an ancient Indian writing which clearly explains the relativity in simple terms. This book was written atleast 5000 years ago in ancient India. Here's the story.

Long time ago there lived a king who had a glorious daughter. He searched for a suitable groom for the princess and couldn't find one. So using his powers, he reaches Brahmaloka, the highest place in the Universe. When he reaches there a heavenly music was being played at Brahma's court. The king gets immersed in the music for a short time. When the music is stopped, the king consults with Brahma about who among his people will be a suitable groom for the princess. Brahma laughs at him and says, during your short visit here thousands of years (It's actually Yugas) have passed on Earth. Not even the name of your great grandsons are heard on Earth. Go to your place, The lord has taken birth as Krishna and Balarama. Balarama would be an ideal match for your daughter.

Though this story looks small, the definition of relativity of time discussed here is amazing. It's very similar to the twins paradox implied by general theory of relativity. To those who are curious of the science behind the story, the time flow depends upon the Space-Time curvature and space-time curvature is caused by gravity. so greater the curvature (gravity) greater is the space packed into it and greater the speed of time flow.

What classic movie are you ..

Bhajagovindam

It is believed that the great shankaracharya took pity upon an old man who was trying to learn rules of grammar in sanskrit and spoke to him these words which is now popularly known as Bhajagovindam. This incident took place in his mature last days at Kasi. Bhajagovindam consists of 12 verses spoken by Shankaracharya and 14 verses each composed by his 14 disciples. Here is the first 12 verses spoken by the great saint.




Worship the Lord, worship Govinda, Oh fool ! Rules of grammar will not save you at the time of your death.

Oh fool! Give up your thirst to amass wealth, devote your mind to thoughts of Real. Be content with what comes through actions already performed in the past.

Do not get drowned in delusion by going wild with passions and lust by seeing a woman's navel and chest. These are nothing but a modification of flesh. Fail not to remember this again and again in your mind.

The life of a person is as uncertain as rain drops trembling on a lotus leaf. Know that the whole world remains a prey to disease, ego and grief.

So long as a man is fit and able to support his family, see what affection all those around him show. But no one at home cares to even have a word with him when his body totters due to old age.

When one is alive, his family members enquire kindly about his welfare. But when the soul departs from the body, even his wife runs away in fear of his dead body.

The childhood is lost by attachment to playfulness. Youth is lost by attachment to woman. Old age passes away by thinking over many things. But there is hardly anyone who wants to be lost in Parabrahma

Who is your wife? Who is your son? Strange are these relations,the world. Of whom are you? From where have you come? Brother, ponder over these truths.

From satsanga, company of good people, comes non-attachment, from non-attachment comes freedom from delusion, which leads to self-settledness. From self-settledness comes liberation.

What good is lust when youth has fled? What use is a lake which has no water? Where are the relatives when wealth is gone? Where is samsaara, the world, when the Truth is known?

Do not boast of wealth, friends, and youth. Each one of these are destroyed within a minute by time. Free yourself from the illusion of the world of Maya and attain the timeless Truth.

Daylight and darkness, dusk and dawn, winter and springtime come and go. Time plays and life ebbs away. But the storm of desire never leaves.

Life is busy

Hi people, work's pretty hectic ever the last week and I'm dodging time to write the updates for you people out there ;)

One good thing is the mobile USB drive I bought over the last weekend. Its sleek, handy, has 40 GB storage and costs only 3200 rs including tax, compare this with the price of flash disks in the market. The koreans are very innovative in designing these electronic items, they've created a small chipset that converts the standard ATA interface to USB interface and packed it real nice so a laptop harddisk fits into it !! I'm sure mobile harddisks are going to replace the flash disks very soon, thanks to the reduction in size of harddisk and the harddisk density, there are a bunch of devices in the market that use extremely small harddisks to pack a bunch of information.



Take a look at the harddisk enclosure, I'm sure you would be tempted to buy this one.

Now I can collect a bunch of information. I'm following google's footsteps in organizing the world information :P

Cartoon Laws

1. Any body suspended in space will remain in space until made aware of its situation. Daffy Duck steps off a cliff, expecting further pastureland. He loiters in midair, soliloquizing flippantly, until he chances to look down. At this point, the familiar principle of 32 feet per second per second takes over.
2. Any body in motion will tend to remain in motion until solid matter intervenes suddenly. Whether shot from a cannon or in hot pursuit on foot, cartoon characters are so absolute in their momentum that only a telephone pole or an outsize boulder retards their forward motion absolutely. Sir Isaac Newton called this sudden termination of motion the stooge's surcease.
3. Any body passing through solid matter will leave a perforation conforming to its perimeter. Also called the silhouette of passage, this phenomenon is the speciality of victims of directed-pressure explosions and of reckless cowards who are so eager to escape that they exit directly through the wall of a house, leaving a cookie-cutout- perfect hole. The threat of skunks or matrimony often catalyzes this reaction.
4. The time required for an object to fall twenty stories is greater than or equal to the time it takes for whoever knocked it off the ledge to spiral down twenty flights to attempt to capture it unbroken. Such an object is inevitably priceless, the attempt to capture it inevitably unsuccessful.
5. All principles of gravity are negated by fear. Psychic forces are sufficient in most bodies for a shock to propel them directly away from the earth's surface. A spooky noise or an adversary's signature sound will induce motion upward, usually to the cradle of a chandelier, a treetop, or the crest of a flagpole. The feet of a character who is running or the wheels of a speeding auto need never touch the ground, especially when in flight.
6. As speed increases, objects can be in several places at once. This is particularly true of tooth-and-claw fights, in which a character's head may be glimpsed emerging from the cloud of altercation at several places simultaneously. This effect is common as well among bodies that are spinning or being throttled. A 'wacky' character has the option of self- replication only at manic high speeds and may ricochet off walls to achieve the velocity required.
7. Certain bodies can pass through solid walls painted to resemble tunnel entrances; others cannot. This trompe l'oeil inconsistency has baffled generation, but at least it is known that whoever paints an entrance on a wall's surface to trick an opponent will be unable to pursue him into this theoretical space. The painter is flattened against the wall when he attempts to follow into the painting. This is ultimately a problem of art, not of science.
8. Any violent rearrangement of feline matter is impermanent. Cartoon cats possess even more deaths than the traditional nine lives might comfortably afford. They can be decimated, spliced, splayed, accordion-pleated, spindled, or disassembled, but they cannot be destroyed. After a few moments of blinking self pity, they reinflate, elongate, snap back, or solidify. Corollary: A cat will assume the shape of its container.
9. For every vengeance there is an equal and opposite revengeance. This is the one law of animated cartoon motion that also applies to the physical world at large. For that reason, we need the relief of watching it happen to a duck instead.
10. Everything falls faster than an anvil. Examples too numerous to mention from the Roadrunner cartoons.

Flood in Bangalore

Continuous rains in the last 1 week has made life pathetic in Bangalore, particularly because of the flood not only with water, as well as uninterrupted traffic on the roads. Many of the houses around the low lying areas of the city are partially submerged in water, thanks to the road condition people are having tough time.

My house is located in a area which is almost like a cliff, hardly 1 mile from my house I could see the road go deep down, as though I'm looking down a valley. The houses there are beautiful to look at, but now the condition of the people is pathetic because of flooding. People say that some areas look more like lakes, what you say about the lakes in the city? They are overflowing !!

Take a look at couple of pictures taken around the city

Internet Connection at home

Good News, My new internet connection is active at home, now I'm have more reasons to blog and bug others ;)

This one is the first blog entry from my home

Garments

A beautiful story by Kahlil Gibran

Upon a day Beauty and Ugliness met on the shore of a sea. And they said to one another, "Let us bathe in the sea."

Then they disrobed and swam in the waters. And after a while Ugliness came back to shore and garmented himself with the garments of Beauty and walked away.

And Beauty too came out of the sea, and found not her raiment, and she was too shy to be naked, therefore she dressed herself with the raiment of Ugliness. And Beauty walked her way.

And to this very day men and women mistake the one for the other.

Yet some there are who have beheld the face of Beauty, and they know her notwithstanding her garments. And some there be who know the face of Ugliness, and the cloth conceals him not from their eyes.

Gandhi was a hypocrite

http://www.time.com/time/asia/magazine/2000/0214/india.godse.html

A Interview that is not documented in our History books.

Gopal Godse, co-conspirator in Gandhi's assassination and brother of the assassin, looks back in anger--and without regret

Fifty-two years ago, on Jan. 30, 1948, Mohandas Gandhi was shot dead by Nathuram Godse, a Hindu extremist. Godse believed that the Mahatma, or great soul, was responsible for the 1947 partition of India and the creation of Pakistan. Godse and his friend Narayan Apte were hanged. His brother Gopal and two others were sentenced to life imprisonment for their part in the conspiracy. Gopal Godse remained in jail for 18 years and now, at 80, lives with his wife in a small apartment in Pune. He is still proud of his role in the murder. Although Godse is largely ignored in India and rarely talks to journalists, he agreed to speak with TIME Delhi correspondent Meenakshi Ganguly.

TIME: What happened in January 1948?
Godse: On Jan. 20, Madanlal Pahwa exploded a bomb at Gandhi's prayer meeting in Delhi. It was 50 m away from Gandhi. [The other conspirators] all ran away from the place. Madanlal was caught there. Then there was a tension in our minds that we had to finish the task before the police caught us. Then Nathuram [Gopal's brother] took it on himself to do the thing. We only wanted destiny to help us -- meaning we should not be caught on the spot before he acted.

TIME: Why did you want to kill Gandhi?
Godse: Gandhi was a hypocrite. Even after the massacre of the Hindus by the Muslims, he was happy. The more the massacres of the Hindus, the taller his flag of secularism.

TIME: Did you ever see Gandhi?
Godse: Yes.

TIME: Did you attend his meetings?
Godse: Yes.

TIME: Can you explain how he created his mass following?
Godse: The credit goes to him for maneuvering the media. He captured the press. That was essential. How Gandhi walked, when he smiled, how he waved -- all these minor details that the people did not require were imposed upon them to create an atmosphere around Gandhi. And the more ignorant the masses, the more popular was Gandhi. So they always tried to keep the masses ignorant.

TIME: But surely it takes more than good publicity to create a Gandhi?
Godse: There is another thing. Generally in the Indian masses, people are attracted toward saintism. Gandhi was shrewd to use his saintdom for politics. After his death the government used him. The government knew that he was an enemy of Hindus, but they wanted to show that he was a staunch Hindu. So the first act they did was to put "Hey Ram" into Gandhi's dead mouth.

TIME: You mean that he did not say "Hey Ram" as he died?
Godse: No, he did not say it. You see, it was an automatic pistol. It had a magazine for nine bullets but there were actually seven at that time. And once you pull the trigger, within a second, all the seven bullets had passed. When these bullets pass through crucial points like the heart, consciousness is finished. You have no strength.

When Nathuram saw Gandhi was coming, he took out the pistol and folded his hands with the pistol inside it. There was one girl very close to Gandhi. He feared that he would hurt the girl. So he went forward and with his left hand pushed her aside and shot. It happened within one second. You see, there was a film and some Kingsley fellow had acted as Gandhi. Someone asked me whether Gandhi said, "Hey Ram." I said Kingsley did say it. But Gandhi did not. Because that was not a drama.

TIME: Many people think Gandhi deserved to be nominated TIME's Person of the Century. [He was one of two runners-up, after Albert Einstein.]
Godse: I name him the most cruel person for Hindus in India. The most cruel person! That is how I term him.

TIME: Is that why Gandhi had to die?
Godse: Yes. For months he was advising Hindus that they must never be angry with the Muslims. What sort of ahimsa (non-violence) is this? His principle of peace was bogus. In any free country, a person like him would be shot dead officially because he was encouraging the Muslims to kill Hindus.

TIME: But his philosophy was of turning the other cheek. He felt one person had to stop the cycle of violence...
Godse: The world does not work that way.

TIME: Is there anything that you admire about Gandhi?
Godse: Firstly, the mass awakening that Gandhi did. In our school days Gandhi was our idol. Secondly, he removed the fear of prison. He said it is different to go into prison for a theft and different to go in for satyagraha (civil disobedience). As youngsters, we had our enthusiasm, but we needed some channel. We took Gandhi to be our channel. We don't repent for that.

TIME: Did you not admire his principles of non-violence?
Godse: Non-violence is not a principle at all. He did not follow it. In politics you cannot follow non-violence. You cannot follow honesty. Every moment, you have to give a lie. Every moment you have to take a bullet in hand and kill someone. Why was he proved to be a hypocrite? Because he was in politics with his so-called principles. Is his non-violence followed anywhere? Not in the least. Nowhere.

TIME: What was the most difficult thing about killing Gandhi?
Godse: The greatest hurdle before us was not that of giving up our lives or going to the gallows. It was that we would be condemned both by the government and by the public. Because the public had been kept in the dark about what harm Gandhi had done to the nation. How he had fooled them!

TIME: Did the people condemn you?
Godse: Yes. People in general did. Because they had been kept ignorant.

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence;
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I —
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

~Robert Frost

Me on top of the world

I've been waiting for this day. In fact it happened a lot earlier and this is related to a old challenge of particular relevance to shanawaz and sathyus who have woken up the sleeping Lion within me.

If the above words still doesn't make any sense, I'm just speaking about search engines and my name on the search results. Now this is my answer to all the people out there ... see it for yourself

Me's on top in Google and MSN, Yahoo was doing good for sometime ironically sooner or later they found my participation in 360 and though there are no activities there they've biased the results to 360. I dont know if this happened by a search algorithm or by manual alteration.

A long way to go ... My activities on Search engines is getting broader.

திருவாசகம் எனும் தேன்

தமிழில் எழுதி மிக நாட்கள் ஆகிவிட்டன. இன்று நெட்டில் சுற்றிக்கொண்டிருக்கையில் திருவாசகம் பற்றி படித்துக்கொண்டிருந்தேன். முதலாக ஞாபகம் வந்தது இளையராஜா பாடிய நானார் என் உள்ளமார் பாடல்தான். இதன் தத்துவத்தை எழுத வேண்டுமென நினைத்திருண்தேன். இதோ இதன் அற்புதமான பொருள்

நானார் என் உள்ளமார் ஞானங்க ளார்என்னை யாரறிவார்
வானோர் பிரான் என்னை ஆண்டிலனேல் மதிமயங்கி
ஊனார் உடைதலையில் உண்பலிதேர் அம்பலவன்
தேனார் கமலமே சென்றூதாய் கோத்தும்பீ

வார்த்தைக்கு வார்த்தை பொருள்

நானார் - நான் என்ன தன்மையுடையவன்
என் உள்ளமார் - என் உள்ளம் என்ன தன்மையுடையது
ஞானங்க ளார் - நான் எவ்வளவு ஞானம் கொண்டவன்
என்னை யாரறிவார் - இதை யார் அறிவார்கள்
வானோர் பிரான் - விண்ணுலகத்து தேவர்கள்
என்னை ஆண்டிலனேல் - என்னை ஆதரிக்காததால்
மதிமயங்கி - மதி மயங்கினேன்
ஊனார் - மாம்சம் கொண்ட
உடைதலையில் - உடைந்த தலை ஓட்டில்
உண்பலிதேர் - உண்பதற்கு பலி ஏற்றுகொள்கிற
அம்பலவன் - அம்பலவாணனது
தேனார் - தேன் நிறைந்த
கமலமே - தாமரை இதள் போன்ற கண்கள் கொண்டவன்
சென்றூதாய் - சென்று ஓதுவாயாக
கோத்தும்பீ - தும்பிகற்கு அரசே

பொருள்

நான் எவ்வள்வு உயர்ந்தவன், என் உள்ளம் எவ்வளவு உயர்ந்தது, எவ்வளவு ஞானம் கொண்டவன். தேவர்கள் என்னை ஆதரிக்காததால் கவலை கொண்டேன். ஆனால் சிவபெருமானோ இவ்வனைத்துக்கும் ஆண்டவனாயிருந்தும் உடைந்த மண்டை ஓட்டில் பிச்சை எடுப்பதற்க்கு தயங்குவதில்லை. அந்த தேன் நிறைந்த கண்கள் உடையவனின் பெறுமைகளை பாடுவாய் தும்பிகளுக் அரசே.

Nature's Fury

Less than a year has passed since the deadly tsunami washed the shores of south asian countries, Nature is furious again unleasing hurricanes on America. What is the reason for so many incidents, Is it global warming or is it mother nature is not happy with the people around. If things happen this way, we should only assume that the worst part is yet to come as we have not taken any steps to find the root cause of all this disasters. I'm particularly concerned about the changes in weather through out the world. I know that everyone would accept with me that the climatic conditions around them have changed significantly since the last 20 years. Are we selfish enough to sustain earth only till our lifetime. The life cycle of mother earth is of longer durations. she has bore innumerable species of life and none of them have spoiled her serenity as much as we have done to her in the last 200 years by the name of Industrialisation.

I pray to God that prosperity may return back to Mother Earth.

To Restore the Pagoda tree

A Bit of information about Ancient India for I thought its my duty to tell the world what Real India is.

Many people know that India was the richest country in the world, in terms of culture as well as economy before the Mid-Easterners and Europeans ravaged through India. People searched for ways to reach India only for the treasure in the form of Gold it had in abundance. They were not only very much successfull in that, whereas they also acted as agents in suppressing the glorious Indian culture.

Today even in India we are having tough time accepting what this Indian culture is !! Thanks to Adengappa, fellow blogger for bringing into light this Article here. Its got loads of information on how these traitors from the west succeeded in satisfying their selfish greed at the cost of civilization.

It has been estimated that the total amount of treasure that the British looted from India had already reached £1,000,000,000 (£1Billion) by 1901. Taking into consideration interest rates and inflation this would be worth close to $1,000,000,000,000 ($1Trillion) in real-terms today.

The invaders discovered that as long as Indians holded on to their tradition it would be difficult to exploit the wealth from this country. A small peek into the education system as analysed by the britishers in ancient India is breathtaking. During a survey taken in 1822, Bengal presidency had 1 lakh schools, there was not a single village in Madras without a school and the education system was based on the highly intelligent sanskrit language handled by qualified brahmins. In present day because of the western influence, the brahmins are oblivious of their system of living.

In one of his letters to his Dad, Lord Macaulay writes

"Our English schools are flourishing wonderfully; we find it difficult to provide instruction to all. The effect of this education on Hindus is prodigious. No Hindu who has received an English education ever remains sincerely attached to his religion. It is my firm belief that if our plans of education are followed up, there will not be a single idolater among the respected classes 30 years hence. And this will be effected without our efforts to proselytize; I heartily rejoice in the prospect'

The end result is that the world understands that the Brits made the Indians civilized. What kind of information do we have written in the history texts. Now there are great people who have testimonials for the Indian culture. Indian culture is a serious study in the west. People are exploring the fields of Yoga, Indian scriptures, occult practices and Philosophy.

Its the duty of each and every sincere Indian to live upto the ideals and restore the Pagoda tree.

Ozymandias

I met a traveler from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read,
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed,
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
