Today's Civilization is in the strong grip of ignorance. Ignorance means not with material ignorance , but ignorance about true nature of life , using and maintaining this all important human form of life. The basic definition of life has become to enjoy life as much as you can at anybodys and every body's expense. People have become arrogant in their dealings, most of them have a smiling face and a polite gesture outwardly but from inside the story is altogether opposite. This is the effect of this age called Kali yuga in the vedice literatures, these things are very correctly pointed out in Srimad Bhagvatam about this age. In Srimad Bhagvatam it states people in this age , will have a short life span and over the years it will become shorter, good qualities ,like , tolerance, mercy, truthfulness will diminsh, and everyone will cheat each other for money, people with money will be considered well cultured and many more things, which are already true in todays age.
It is very unfortunate , that parents have lost control on their own desires and hence are incapable of controlling their children. Parents them selves are indulging in smoking , drinking , illicit sex etc, which naturally influences the child.
Today parents thing satisfying the material desires of a child who is not even aware of good and bad things is showing and expressing their love for their child, but the fact is that this kind of love is weakness , and is only spoiling your children rather than making them responsible individuals.
I have seen such children who now are at the age of 25 -26 and they are totally lost in their material desires, as soon as they get some money they think of spending it for fun, by drinking , smoking and partying , not worrying about the consequences, Having being pampered from the childhood, they have become arrogant and disrespectful to others , which makes them selfish . At the time when they are in thier prime , these moments are happy moments, but , it is a fact that they are ignorant that they are creating troubles for their entire life.
This happens due to lack of restriction on the child's desires , which grows further and takes form of a conviction a mentality of life in the child's mind. It is therefore , very important to educate parents on the science of selfcontrol as stated in Bhagvat Gita , so that they can control and chanelize their chilrens life , inorder to make them human beings.
It has become a norm now a days to speak with each other in a scarcastic tone and try to blame others for all the misahaps and never look at ones own mistake. This is a very dangerous situation and it should be taken seriously by everyone. Hence this age old wisdom of Bhagvat Gita is so very important and essential in every home .

Timeline of the universe.
From the authorative sources i.e Vedas , we get the above timeline for the existence of the universe. The point to be noted herein , is that the time line represented here is well organized and with accurate numbers. Hence the source can be taken to be authorative.
Explanation:
The timeline describes that Brahma the first living entity is the engineer and he is the one who engineers this universe,on the instructions of the Supreme Lord Krishna. So all the times are in reference to the life of Brahma. In short As long as brahma lives this universe lives, and when brahma dies, the universe is annhiliated completely.
The years mentioned are earthly years.
Brahmas 1 day (i.e 12 hours ) consists of 14 manvantaras
1 manvantara is the period where the father of living entities called manu generates all the living entities , and 1 manvantara consists of 71 divya yugas.
And 1 divya yuga comprises of 4 cycles , namely, satya yuga , treta yuga, dvapar yuga and kaliyuga.
Such is 1 day of bramha (i.e 12 hours) after the day of bramha, the night comes when brahma sleeps and the lower universes are sunk in the devastation water. After this night which is equal to the day comes yet another day of brahma where creation takes place.
In this way bramha lives for 100 years.
And after 100 years bramha dies and the universe is destroyed.
We currently are in kali yuga of the seventh manvantara as per the scriptures.

Television .. Killing peoples minds.
Television a invention made as a entertainment for men , has turned into a controlling force of peoples life. People rush from their work in a hurry so that they do not miss their favorite shows. Once a person sits in front of the Television , it becomes very difficult to drag him from there. People get annoyed when they are told to switch off the television . So it is evident that television has captured people's mind in such a manner that it has become almost impossible for some to live without television. Television and media has become a force which is directing people's life and pushing them into darkness of ignorance.
Every show or movie and even the so called news channels are broadcasting useless information, which is occupying the minds of the general populace and making them idle in every respect. People have become lazy and are constantly anxious. Bhagvad Gita says inorder to live a happy and a peaceful life, it is utmost neccessary to free ones mind from lust, anger and greed. And our friend Television is broadcasting only these three things with a sweet coating so that people may swallow it. All the shows are filled with sexual scenes whcih invoke lust into persons mind,even so called love stories are based on lust. All the movies have violence, which is a emblem of anger and greed. And the so called news channels which are supposed to be informative are informing about famous people's lusty , greedy and angry behaviors , so that the general populace should become the same.
Sometime ago, somebody told me, it is very important to watch Television, for it gives news and for entertainment. For me , I see no entertainment in Television, I only see demoniac propensities , which put you into further illusion and increase, three vital enemies of the self , namely, lust, greed and anger.
As per the Vedic wisdom, Out of 8400000 species of lives, human form of life obtained by a living soul, is supposed to be the most valued and a rare chance to understand the self and its relation with the Supreme consioness, but as humans , what are we doing is wasting our human form by developing out propensities for greed, lust and anger ,these very same propensities, which are so dear to people in the young or you can say healthy state of its existence, wil pinch and become a nigthmare during the old age, and make everyone think about the wastage they caused during their whole life time.
The civilization has reached to such a point , where is not watching Television is considered a negative point and people look at you will a sarcastic wonder as if you were somekind of a fool , to not participate in the worldwide display of lust, greed and anger. Out of ignorance about the nature of the true self, the older generation also thinks that Television is a ultimate source of enjoyment and people have become addicted to it and which influences the younger generation to follow the same. The so called humour showed on the television represents a sarcastic humor which also induces anger in some corner of the heart. Qualities like, mercy, truthfullness, honesty, tolerance , self control, respect which at some time were prevelant in the society have become alien to the younger generation , which is bought up in the atmosphere of hate, greed, lust, anger , no respect of elders.
Television had killed the imagination of the people and puts people in a illusory plane which just makes them daydreamers.
All the effects of Television are bad , So It is very important to break the jinx and come out of the illusory world of television. It requires a initaite from the elders in the society to control their watching of the television and divert their attention to learning their place in the existance by referring to religious scriputres and teach the same to their kids in order to mend a better society. Thats the only way, to become God conscious.

Vedic Science Vs Modern Science
There are two processes by which knowledge can be acquired namely the Ascending process and the Descending Process.
Ascending process , is the process of experimenting and observing the results and then concluding. This process is prominent in modern science. In fact , the modern scientists and most of the people today define science as acquiring knowledge through this process only.
Descending process: Receiving knowledge through disiplic succession from a more infallible source and then testing the knowledge received for authenticity is called the descending process. This process is prominent in Vedic Cultures as found in India.
As per Bhagvad Gita , there are two aspects of the world , material and spiritual. Second chapter in Bhagvad Gita explains that the body is a matter and it is moved by a infallible , indestructible soul. Soul is the superior energy present in the material body which moves the body and which makes the body conscious, Now this can be seen by comparing a living body with the dead body. A living body has a living force which is moving the body , whereas a dead body has no such living force present so it is just a lump of matter to be disposed. Also it states that the soul (living force) is eternal in nature, It cannot be killed or burnt or wetted or dried,where as material body as we see is perishible. It is subject to heat , cold, death , birth, disease, old age etc.
As stated in Bhagvad Gita, this living force is the true identity of any living entity and not the material body.
Material body as per Vedic text , consists of two aspects, namely a gross material body , which we can see and a more subtler material body comprising of mind, intelligence and ego, which is not visible to the eyes.
Let us examine both the modern science and the Vedic Science in the light of Bhagvad Gita.
Modern Science:
1. Uses Ascending process to examine the
material science only , has no knowledge
of the soul.
2. Medical science, invention of bombs,
aircrafts ,etc are some of the discoveries.
3. It requires large investments in the form of
investment and money to discover above large infrastructures ,
mentioned discoveries.
Scientists are wasting their valuable time
in discovering things which are already
discovered.
Vedic Science :
1. Uses Descending process to examine both the material and spiritual science.
2. Ayurveda , military science, time science ( astronomy, astrology, space science) it has more science on the subtler level of mind , which is absent in modern science
3. It requires no investment of money or but only time to test and apply the teachings.

Science Without religion is a hoax.
Modern Science believes in proving everything on the basis of experimental facts and perception. But the most important factor which Scientist forget is that the senses a human body posses are all imperfect and limited. They do not have the required power to see or understand everything that we experience. The simplest example that can be given in this context is that our eyes are incapable of seeing without sun. So our power of seeing depends on light.
Also some phenomena cannot be proved by experimentation, they have to be understood philosophically using intelligence and evidences. For example theory of evolution, our very existence.
Most of the people including many scientist and philosophers believe in the theory of evolution given by Charles Darwin. To me it sounds more like a fairy tale. Darwins theory talks about a bigbang and then the creation of gases and from that the planets were created and then first atom was developed from amino acids and then , they evolved to form highly complex human beings who are capable of emotions. There are many things which cannot be explained which are listed as follows :
1. First of all the theory talks about random combination of molecules to form living beings. That means we the human beings have been developed randomly so why does everyone around us try to stay organized and try to be perfect?. Since we are random combinations , then from where did the people get this idea of been organized in their daily affairs?
2. Theory says , the molecules combined to form bacteria then water beings , then they started to develop with combination of molecules to form other living entities to form more complex individuals. If this is true how is that we see so many varieties of life form and we dont see any one species developing from other today? There is a process described with reference to this called natural selection, it says the molecules combine and by natural selection only those which are good are selected to form a higher species and the remaining are rejected, but then who decides and who supplies the power to combine these molecules ?.
3. Also if there was a bigbang , then who created it and even if we assume this hypothetical fairy tale , then who put all the planets in such an organized fashion and accuracy. We do not have any experience that explosions create something. Also if at all it creates the whole universe then why are we wasting our time on manufacturing so many commodities, we can just collect all the ingredients and put them together and explode them to get the things we need . For example , big automobile companys can just collect the iron and plastic and rubber and explode them to create a perfectly operating vehicle, why are they wasting time in machineries and etc?
Thus the above logical and philosophical statements clearly prove that the theories put forward by Darwins theory are fairy tales only with no scientific intelligence whatsoever.
Now the same Questions which are not explained by Darwin, can be easily explained from the point of view of Vedas (religion). Vedas say that there is only one creator of this entire material world and he is all Spiritual . He is the supreme being GOD. We the living entities ( which include plants, animals and humans) are also spiritual and parts and parcels of GOD. But we are put into this material world due to our desires. Constitutionally we are servants of LORD and we have a loving relation with him. We have forgotten are relation with him and hence we are struggling in this material world. So GOD is a person like us and we are his parts and he is our Supreme Father.
1. Since we are the parts of the Supreme father we inherit his qualities too. GOD is perfect being , since he is spiritual he is all good. But we have forgotten our spiritual existence and hence we struggle to become perfect in this material world. We have forgotten our father hence we struggle. So the tendency of every person to strive for perfection or be organized is characteristics of the soul and not a random combination of molecules. Since GOD is eternally Blissful and always in knowledge, we as his parts also try for happiness every moment , but we struggle since we are conditioned. Eternally every soul has a loving relation with GOD , which we try to find by our relations in this material world , but again we struggle , because everything manifested here is temporary. SO if we are living in a temporary environment ,then what is the reality. Our real existence is with GOD in his kingdom.
2. The second argument is refuted even by modern scientist by the concept of intelligent design ( the videos describing intelligent design can be seen on the right of the blog). The complex nature of the DNA's and other working mecahnism's within the cell cannot be a product of random selections. Here's the irony, modern education teaches about cell and its complex nature and its working to create protiens and the DNA structures which are all intelligent designs and on the other hand it teaches Darwins theory of evolution as the basis of our existence, these this does not quite match, since by Darwins theory the complex nature of even one DNA cannot be explained , what to speak of the complex network of veins and systems installed in our body. So when we observe this fairy tale in the light of scientific evidence of the cell , it proves the existence of a most intelligent being GOD. There is a debate between the people who propose Darwins theory and intelligent design, but the debate is there because the people are missing the main element of religion in it. If we see the intelligent design of our body and the world around us in the light of religion (Veda) we can come to a perfect understanding of the world and hence can acknowlegde , thank and eventually love our Supreme Father in devotion.
3. The Big bang Theory is just an imaginary concept of an atheist mind. There was no such Big Bang in the creation. Vedic literatures like Srimad Bhagvatam give vivid and logical explanation with appropraite evidences regarding the creation of the universe with perfect timings. After knowing the real process of creation , it is can be understood that the whole world is governed in a organized and a perfect manner by the infallible LORD. Like the Government , this universe is also governed by a Supreme Person, who has his subordinates as ministers working for the Supreme Person under laws given by GOD for proper functioning of the government. It is from this organization which is described in the Srimad Bhagvatam that we get the idea of organizations and governments. The planets are properly placed and working in sychornization as per the calculations and will of the LORD. So it was not by some random explosion that this universe was created and hence eventually like in the fairy tales everything started working smoothly.
So these are the facts which you get from religious scriptures (Vedas) . Infact all the science we see before our eyes are explained in the Vedas, it was due to some atehist leaders this great knowledge became extinct and people in general were put into this GODLESS civilization we see in today. People in general are made to believe that religion is sentiment and not science , but in true sense religious people are far more great than any mundane materialist who basis his faith on theories like that of Darwin.
I would suggest to whomsoever who may read this, to please look at the evidences with an open mind and review the facts once again in the light of religion (VEDAS) and have faith in them.
Some People argue that how is it possible to believe in GOD , since we don't see him, but often they forget the most of are beliefs are not seen, For example the evolution theory, nobody has seen Darwin and yet people believe in his theory , which is a product of human imagination. But the same people are afraid to have faith in GOD who is without mistakes and the most perfect being. I would hence appeal the general mass to wake up from this illusion created by blind faith and see the real truth through Vedas.
