Linking Vedas to Judiciary

 I know I am not the first one neither the last one to try this thing. Few problems one encounters while doing so:

a. Smritis who are considered to be source of procedural law like any other procedural law are plain rules without their direct link to Vedas (except Rishi giving credit to Vedas).

b. Even pioneers like Adi Guru Shankaracharya explained Upanishads only and discarded Karmakanda etc. and modern time Swami Vibekananda etc. too only explained Upanishads. 

c. Upanishads are fruit part of Vedas, at max fruit can provide seed for next cycle of the fruit tree.

d. Dayananda Saraswati and Sri Aurobindo went on length to explain Vedas but they are not connected to question of justice at all. Pattern of their explanation at max touched upon psychological phenomenon and mostly around physical phenomenon. it will be like trying to explain Law by using Physics. 

e. One beautiful example is economic procedures explained by Kautilya after giving saluation to Shree Hari (Shree=Laxmi and Hari=Vishnu). Reading text of Keynes only one would have been able to know why he wrote about State first and then went to describe procedure to do this and that. He was envisioning the whole economy unlike Classical Micro-economist whose sole focus were on production and distribution in one economic unit. 

Then how can we accomplish this task? sometime I feel we is not a fit word here.

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...
