Indra- he is the winner he will win

 May be only those endowed with brilliancy of Sanskrit grammar will turn text of Vedas into reality. Many English translation I read (some parts) are lifeless. It's better to memorize and repeat the verses without meaning. Verses are like honey and translations are like poisons. They lack both sweetness and substance.

However, the case with translation of Upanishad may not be that absurd. One reason is elaborated writing of Adi Guru Shankaracharya's on subject matters. In that way over smart writer too will be forced to accept the authority and his writings unlike Vedas.

After criticizing people of great merit by whose grace fool like me could learn something, let me focus on Indra. Whether Puranas write more or less about Indra, he is always center Godhead for me. Partly because my child brain captured liveliness of Indrajatra in the valley. Also, Arjuna is the son of Indra or human form of Indra and in one incident Shri Krishna may have challenged him, but he always guide the Arjuna. 

Beside Shri Krishnas favor, Arjuna's merit is based on his focus on his skills of Hands. May be no other main characters of Mahabharata lack divine grace from their birth. Arjuna earned all his merit by sole practice of his own. 

So how the Indra who is given some thunder in Vedas who is always fighting and his Son Arjuna who also happen to fight every time be so great that whole Veda couldn't resist praising him. For this Kenopnishad gives the explanation that he is the one who couldn't see Bramha but neared him as said by Uma (she must be Bramha then). In Sathapath Bramahan too he wished to be Prajapati and asked prajapati who are you and the answer was WHO then he abandoned the idea to be Prajapati. Here to he is near Prajapati. In Mahabharata too he is near Hari always never envied Hari, clever enough to secure him but honest enough to complete his own task without any favor. 

So, who is this Indra, the Great. As I discussed earlier the man before the mirror is the Reality/Purusha who is the knower, knowledge and known and sole reality, that mirror is Indra. Indra is the only one near Bramha. Other Gods get the bliss of Hari/Uma/Bindrabasini/Bramha through Indra, hence the king of Gods who nourish his subjects. Etc.....

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...

Averaging practice in stock market and Liquidity problem in Banking

Investors in equity market (secondary) are quite familiar with averaging practice of prices. When a stock of higher cost was already purchased but the prices drop down, then purchasing stocks at lower prices (must be probable to gain some increment in those latest prices) will average the per unit cost and given increment in latest prices but lower than previous prices till make loss over previously purchased stock lesser loss making. Now, thinking the institutional capacity of banks and financial institutions and production and distribution capacity of national economy, given flood of remittance, there must be a lag in mobilization of funds through banks. Thereby keeping interest rate at lower side till national economy's capacity to produce and distribute gets increased. However, let's imagine a scenario where funds are ever demanded and loans are distributed at higher cost. Deposit rates are increased in the name of liquidity problem or liquidity premium is so high that retu...

Usha

I bow down to mother Vindhyabasini/Brindabasini/Bindubasini whose grace and affection alone uplift unbearable pain of this life/ignorance. Nobody but Guru Gorakhnath is my Guru but am not that fortunate to get knowledge from himself. Neither read anything written by him.  During the discussion with few wise men it suddenly occurred or reiterate the already obtained knowledge of unreal nature of thoughts. However, this just helped to connect Usha with Savitur and once again ignite enthusiasm to write meaning of Gayatri Mantra. First line is dedicated to three kind of Jagat or realities excluding Om (which is not a wise thing to do but Om itself contains 3 Jagat and one last supreme reality so it is waste to discuss other line after explaining Om). First one is almost 16 hours a day i.e. waking state where we gather all information and act upon them. Second is dream state which is in its concrete form is 8 hours a day, unknown processing of information gathered during waking state. 3...
