Interpretation is not exact



Brahma Sutra is the manual of Vedanta-
The quintessence of the Upanishads.
It was enunciated by Ved Vyasa,
Who spoke neither Advaita or Vishistavaita.

What Vyasa conveyed is Monotheism
That he has elaborated all along
In his Mahabhatat and Bhagavat.
Sutra is definition made sharp.

Shankaracharya has commented on it.
Madhavacharya has commented on it.
Sri Ramnuja has commented on it.
Three blue prints of one reality.

A commentator while commenting
On a scripture, starting with its belief,
Would force his views onto the scripture
So as to make it consistent with his thoughts.

Having thus read one’s commentary,
One will carry the view of the commentator,
Which may not be the writer’s view,
And to that extent distortion takes place.

Name goes from the body

The first thing to go from you is your name. You will be called the body by your kin. Disposal will become the main concern. You will be removed from the house you built. The clothes and things you used are thrown away. The valuables are shared and taken away. You are replaced with no remorse attached. A fallen leaf, you are soon forgotten. What will happen to those you’d endeared? What is the fate to the things you’d nurtured? How will fare your descendants in struggles? You are destined not to know the future. You will not know about your biography. You will not recall the moments of pride. You will not know how you’re branded about. You don’t know that you have ever existed. I don’t think it’s applicable to me. 21.10.2019

Law is misused.

Laws are misused by one’s intelligence. The harm they do when misused must weigh more Than the good they do otherwise, in the mind Of law makers to spare the innocents. 19.11.2019

Keelady Civilization.

The Tamil Sangam Era was confined To literature and poetry available. Keelady is the archaeological evidences Of the civilization of that period. Sangam Era and Megalithic era Are related and must be viewed together. Brick layers, structured townships with  paved roads Must relate to the Harappa culture. The life style of  the folks spoken about In  the Sangam era  isn’t hypothetical, At the light of the excavation carried At Keelady in the Southern Tamilnadu. The Indus Valley Civilization Is not different from Keelady  findings It shows the evolution of the old script To graffitist and Tamil brahm The province where Keelady was open Must have got a civilization Where the people were literate, affluent And more advanced in around 300 BC 14.10.2019i.
