Sanaran Dharma and Bharat hater Angana P. Chatterji

Excerpts from the book Braking India by Rajiv Malhotra  and Aravindan Neelakandan. They reveal lies of leftist historian/professors in chapter 14 of the book.   Angana P. Chatterji Angana Chatterji is associate professor of Social and Cultural Anthropology at California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), an institution that was established specifically to bring the spiritual teachings of Sri Aurobindo to the West. Ironically, she has used this position to do exactly the opposite, namely, to try to demolish the legitimacy of Indian spirituality and the Indian nation. She cites her interests as ‘identity politics, nationalisms, self-determination.’ [i] Prior to joining CIIS, she worked in policy and advocacy research at the Indian Social Institute, which is run by Jesuits in Delhi, for the explicit purpose of propagating ‘Christian inspiration and following the social teaching of the Catholic Church.’ [ii] Chatterji provided ‘critical assistance’ to a highly libelous and u...

Vedic Mathematics : Shulba Sutras

From research paper "Applied Geometry of the Sulba Sutras" by John F. Price The Sulba Sutras, part of the Vedic literature of India,describe many geometrical properties and constructions such as the classical relationship           a 2 +b 2 =c 2 between the sides of a right-angle triangle and arithmetical formulas such as calculating the square root of two accurate to five decimal places. Although this article presents some of these constructions,its main purpose is to show how to consider each of the main Sulba SDtras as a finely crafted, integrated manual for the construction of citis or ceremonial platforms. Certain key words, however, suggest that the applications go far beyond this. Paper "Square Roots in the Sulbasutra" by  David W. Henderson can be read here .

विरक्त सन्त : स्वामी रामसुखदास जी

3 जुलाई/पुण्य-तिथि विरक्त सन्त    : स्वामी रामसुखदास जी धर्मप्राण भारत में एक से बढ़कर एक विरक्त सन्त एवं महात्माओं ने जन्म लिया है। ऐसे ही सन्तों में शिरोमणि थे परम वीतरागी स्वामी रामसुखदेव जी महाराज। स्वामी जी के जन्म आदि की ठीक तिथि एवं स्थान का प्रायः पता नहीं लगता; क्योंकि इस बारे में उन्होंने पूछने पर भी कभी चर्चा नहीं की। फिर भी जिला बीकानेर (राजस्थान) के किसी गाँव में उनका जन्म 1902 ई. में हुआ था, ऐसा कहा जाता है। उनका बचपन का नाम क्या था, यह भी लोगों को नहीं पता; पर इतना सत्य है कि बाल्यवस्था से ही साधु सन्तों के साथ बैठने में उन्हें बहुत सुख मिलता था। जिस अवस्था में अन्य बच्चे खेलकूद और खाने-पीने में लगे रहते थे, उस समय वे एकान्त में बैठकर साधना करना पसन्द करते थे। बीकानेर में ही उनका सम्पर्क श्री गम्भीरचन्द दुजारी से हुआ। दुजारी जी भाई हनुमानप्रसाद पोद्दार एवं सेठ जयदयाल गोयन्दका के आध्यात्मिक विचारों से बहुत प्रभावित थे। इस प्रकार रामसुखदास जी भी इन महानुभावों के सम्पर्क में आ गये। जब इन महानुभावों ने गोरखपुर में ‘गीता प्रेस’ की स्थापना की, तो रा...
