Units Lie or Mislead- part 1

 Numbers can be said to be a symbol given to anything. Like a name is used to identify that thing which was named, numbers are used to identify the repetition of the thing or person. That is when something is identified and same thing is repeated then it can be counted or relevance of counting exist. Suppose in a village 10 mothers give birth in the same month and named differently. A wise man said they are different but they all can be classified in terms of age, let us called, below 10 month human a child. They all share that traits now each of them are child and can be counted up to 10. 

From above we saw that something which is common trait should be held constant for numbers to operate,  let us call them as units. Then units are not numbers but name which at the time of observation or counting can be traced to repetition. Let us try this to different setting. Can different units be numbered ? Answer is no. But can same things when repeated differently, numbered differently? Yes, as we can number human character bearing beings when come together and form a group to deal with such other groups, new unit called family formed. We can add men to form family but then men unit disappeared. So, units are just name given  to repetition of some common name. And number operations can be performed keeping units constant. 

It is my belief that the number system prevalent in the world, so called hindu number system, or system with repetition of counting after every 9 numbers, came from astrological calculations. Then can be dated to vedic time as astrology is prerequisite of learning vedas. As we know in computing binary number system is used. Logic is simple, every time light is on that is 1 and off that is 0, though 0 translated erroneously as zero from Sunya, it gets its right meaning in binary system. Then what necessity compel Rishis to make repetition after every 9 numbers i.e. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. Its my belief that these 9 are  Sun, moon, mars, mercury, jupiter, venus, saturn, rahu and ketu, because they travel in 12 houses in their own motion in Kundali. There is no need to go and talk about Sun doesn’t move around earth etc. They travel and each year there position is required for predictions. Sunya is everything complete, abekta, unexpressed. When something got balanced it gets sunya. Nine numbers 1 to 9 here fit perfectly, they are different, hence not added but repeated hence should be counted over the time of years. Hence, Rishis develop revolutionary number system.

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...

Dharma - Nyaya

(To clear my thought process ) Dharma is that which bears, that which provides stability to a thing, a person, or a nation in motion. Nyaya is specific to the individual; A person who abides in Dharma may still be affected by the Adharma of another who fails to uphold it then the State/Society must inject Nyaya to tha specific person or group or even state. Jurisprudence (in my limited understanding and information ) could not ditinguish between these two concepts and confused it with morale, divine rule, command, society, economics etc. These two are related, but Dharma is what guides the Naya but here it has nothing to do with legal system, it is independent and move with truth, whereas Naya alone requires legal system. Hence, Jurisprudence has long divorced its essence of Dharma (somehow natural school using reason could hover around truth) and focus on legal system alone. ..................

Vedas- The Ultimate -Darshan lets not say Philosophy it will be injustice to Great Sages

Vedas -Nobody knows what is it, it is praised by Sages of later dates hence people still praise it -I have not read any piece of paper (except the Secret of Vedas by Sri Aurobindo) which relates Vedas to Pshychology (which I think is still inadaquate (daring to challenge legend in my own foolishness)). 1.Some recites it like parrots 2. Some criticize it like Vedic sages were just fancy poets with lots of imagination 3. Some give it credit to later Vedantic development as part of Methods of Knowledge, which means Vedas are cave men and Vedanta were modern men 4. Some laugh about it since they worship Sun Moon lightening air etc. etc. Let me go one by one 1. reciting with full faith and accuracy have some benefits but it will limit to the level of brain only and that too for soothing purposes and other, which will produces mechanical results (results are bound to happen) 2. too poor may be who translated and criticizes it must lack knowledge of Vedangas, they were expert in musical no...
