Hindu Jurisprudence- Smriti And some property law

I just don’t have the energy to write against the popular teaching (perhaps I have read the wrong books) that Hindu jurisprudence is contained within the Smriti, mainly the Manusmriti, and the property systems of the two schools — Mitakshara and Dayabhaga (I forget which region each school belongs to). But these are laws, not jurisprudence. I admit I do not know the subject of jurisprudence deeply — such a tragedy — but it seems to me these were laws made for the time and place according to the wisdom of the sages of that era. The Smriti writers themselves clearly said that the source of their understanding is the Veda. So, anyone who wants to understand exactly what truth Hindus hold must study the Vedas. Those who cannot may go through the Upanishads (major texts distilled by sages to teach the essence of the Jñāna part of the Veda). Those who still find that difficult may turn to the Mahabharata (which is in itself a “great battle” to understand), or they may study Mīmāṁsā, Nyāya-śā...

Shopping door to door-stock to stock

  It has always been my issue with wealth or envy of wealth, I am not yet sure. But one thing is for sure I have no attachment with it, I am born or experienced it like this. But with time and limited exposure to corporate wealth in Nepal, I came to appreciate wealth creation and preservation. How do we create wealth and preserve has always occupied my mind rather than what wealth is. However, utilities can never be measured directly rather it will be translated via price mechanism. When there will be limited and dependent buyer and sellers like in barter transactions or within boundaries of a small village etc. However, when there are independent buyer and seller, more than utilities it will be more of price discovery game. Limits of prices may be set by their inherent utility for assets to consume immediately or future utilities for assets to be utilized for future consumption or production of future consumption.  How do we discover these prices? I rarely do buying practice ...

Loving mother and Not so father

 It is a great bliss to understand  These two forces who acted upon Always in pair yet in despair  Like a whole day ruled by Sun and Moon Moon is here and now Sun is far and distant By our biased mind can sense moon only Warmth of Sun is often overlooked  Till days of cold winter dawn upon Mother is loving everyday, she is amazing  Here she is angry here she is fresh again Unlike father who set upon long useless mission It seems to reach somewhere for my young mind Father is either withdrawing or engaging  Often for a cycle of time beyond our comprehension  He can't keep it up like mother do He can't handle every task like mother do See! every information is safe with mother She prepared food now and again she smiles All day she worked in field with harsh nature Yet she can't keep being focused all along She is lovely, she is lonely yet available for all One drop of tear is enough for her to give up her tears One smile is enough to win over her heart U...

Mountain and Rivers

 With great respect in my heart for Uma, I took fasting in auspicious day of 2082-04-05 which was also Ekadashi and Sombar of Shrawan month. However, it was due to formation of Gauri Yoga I took the fasting. During Sandhya sadhana I was going through explanation of Kenoupanishad by Great sage and saint Adi Guru Shankaracharya, which by blessing Gauri herself came into light of great delight. It was not the first time of reading Kenoupanishad's translation.  I could read only first three verses. It opens by questioning who is by which these Indriyas and Prana perform their functioning. Answer follows that Bramha is ear of ears etc. Then, Upanishadic Sage told pupil that they can't explain it because it is beyond Indriya too. To this Guru how nicely add why this verse was added. When it is ear of ears, students wanted to know that ear, then Sages told that since it is beyond ears' reach they can't explain it or there is no way to teach it.  This is as beautiful as full mo...
