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 moon night or everything that is complete. It reminds me of mountain and rivers. Water flows north to south (in Nepalese context) from mountain. Mountain can be river of rivers. Rivers can't flow back to height of mountain (it has no uses of recounting water cycle here), but mountain remains then and there allowing thousands rivers to originate and flow. Like Bramha allow origination of Indiriyas which can't flow back to Bramha but Bramha can alone see their eyes, hear their ears etc. 


(I may never harm truth by my limited understanding and foolishness, may Guru who is also my mother guide me to reach the goal.)

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...

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...

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...
