Indra the Source of Morality

 I was amazed by knowing that respected and worshiped Kul devata "Masto dev"of Khas people as having connection to the lord of Gods Indra devata. This relation is disputed as some establish him as son of Indra who is also the protector of Vedas and some establish that he is Anuj/brother of the Indra dev namely Vishnu, the youngest among devatas. Fact that in Sinja they call him by lama Vishnu seem to establish as vishnu but establishing relationship with 9 respected and worshiped Vawanis may be difficult. Whatever may be the relation, like in every major tradition, either of Upanishadic tradition of debate or Hearing words of God tradition of Khasas or Persian tradition of Ahur Majda or Zeus of Greeks or the Father of Jesus everybody has one that requires laws/dharma to be followed. 

These laws/dharma are not man made dharma, they are what is suitable for mankind and their continuity. Excepting to some outdated tradition, modern morality seems to be written in lesser quantity than Dharma sashtra about the appropriate behavior they should be performing.  The remnant of residual memory ringing in the moral philosopher pours out as code of conduct or morality in the modern sense.

Like the source is important for anything and everything, anyone and everyone, source of morality is an important thing. Source is required for turning to when the hard question hit the human mind for providing the justice. Modern law is parliament based but those parliamentarian are also guided by dharma or truth that has been proven and customs which may not be known by rationale. Hence, universality of turning into source is undisputable. But books on morality often runs into circle of logic without much of help. Because they have forgotten their home of dharma. Dharma may have been misinterpreted and translated written and murdered by selfish authorities, so talking in the original sense as supreme law, one should look into them. 

Let us turned to Indra now. Who is Indra? God of thunder, putting simply. Nature worshipper ??? Absolutely not. Indra is the God who break the darkness of cloud (potential of knowledge) and free the water of knowledge there in the form of rain. Now putting simply, one who has recognized Indra can break the chain of ignorance and put forward the right knowledge. Hence, the people who has that purity of mind alone can be the source of morality too. There are numerous examples where Indra fight and punish. He punish who do not abide by dharma. 

Now one can say those philosopher knew Indra and hence put forward morality. But there are other Gods, who functions accordingly, till all these Gods are not activated or recognized or put forward there can not be complete dharma's understanding and hence, it will be false thing. 

Whoever wants to go by scientific method I don't have problem with them. It is my sincere effort to show that there is some form or advance form of truth seeking system in our culture which is dead and if we the children of light do not do, the worshipers of Shiva do not do, then who will. One must not loose one's past identity without even inquiring into them.

Sustainable development of Life

 XYZ whatever be the technicalities of a life process, the origin is, as I am convinced at this point of time, nothing but wish of Nature or who create the nature. The sole purpose of life is to consume itself. Consume is really the worst word in this context. Let me say to observe the beauty of itself by itself. Hence, we are designed in such a way with such and such purposes by the ultimate guiding truth which is ever full of knowledge of all kind. It can do anything (proof: various form of lives), it is evolved or it is ordained by truth can be a debate. Base of life is nature or life (especially human) struggle with nature to evolve itself. First one provide possibilities of re-creation of more sophisticated or more adaptable life suitable to the nature at that point of time, second is more egoist approach to life and claim nature as nothing but inert objects which are subject to enjoyment or preservation for enjoyment in future (as now discussed in the name of sustainable deve...

Ethics : Dharma of Individual (Yoga Sutra)

 Ethics as virtue-  it is collection of desirable action for sustaining society. [dying for group's belief ] Ethics as utility- it is collection of desirable action for sustaining society and more rudely exchanged in name of utility, often society can buy desirable action for society and tag it with ethics. [dying in poverty is ethical but to save life by robbery is not] Ethics of universal rationality- whatever action that can be universalized is ethical and others are not. collectively it again universalize social needs over individual {I am deficient here....} Ethics of social contract- here even an attempt to hide the social behavior and labeling it as ethics has been withdrawn [collective interest labeled as ethics] In my limited understanding these alternatives, individuality is easily coerced by society. But these definitions are not capable to define anything at all. Many things now called Ethics are borrowed from religion. Mainly non-violence and etc. can be traced di...

Dharma Ra Nyaya-1

 In no way I am writing with any certainty about these words or realities or whatever phenomena they are. But with quite a discussion with a learned friend of mine, clarity of thoughts seems to built within. However, from very surface reading and my own biases, Dharma and Nyaya have been same thing for me. Naya here is not a branch of philosophy rather justice in its strict sense.  What is Nyaya? In its day-to-day life, a decision by court of justice is itself justice. One can try to cry over and over yet in short run whatever a reason of court is will be justice. However, in truth, justice is related with what a pure human consciousness guide the human being as a justice is justice. Qualifying consciousness with purity may be a false attempt to define something undefined. Here, purity of reason can do good work. With hope , purity of reason coincide with one true reason by all human being. With a good wish, many have found to place great trust in universal reason or something...
