Background to Sanskrit or Samskrta

AMAYE Team — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 01:39:05 -0400

Shri Shri P.R. Sarkar founded the Samskrta Vidyapiitha at Anandanagar, India. It was his great hope that Samskrta language should be studied and propogated due to its rich history and cultural legacy. Through his works such as Ananda Sutram, Shabda Cayanika and Prabhat Samgiita, he has further enriched this classical language. He also gave directions for Roman Samskrta so that Samskrta can be easily written in Roman script and does not have to rely on Devana'gari script.

What happens after Death?

AMAYE Team — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 06:23:43 -0400

People commonly perceive death as being a moment — you're either dead or you're alive. And that's a social definition we have. But the clinical definition we use is when the heart stops beating, the lungs stop working, and as a consequence the brain itself stops working. When doctors shine a light into someone's pupil, it's to demonstrate that there is no reflex present. The eye reflex is mediated by the brain stem, and that's the area that keeps us alive; if that doesn't work, then that means that the brain itself isn't working.

Determinants of Intelligence in Humans vis-a-vis other creatures

As far as we know, no dog can compose music, no dolphin can speak in rhymes, and no parrot can solve equations with two unknowns. Only humans can perform such intellectual feats. Anatomically, the human brain is very similar to that of other primates because humans and chimpanzees share an ancestor that walked the earth less than seven million years ago. However, intellect seems to have emerged independently in birds and mammalsand also in cetaceans and primates.

Lotus- the sacred symbol and the science

AMAYE Team — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 07:59:30 -0400

The sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) is a radiantly graceful aquatic perennial and has played an enormous role in the religions and cultures of India, Mynamar, China and Japan. Yogiis use this symbol almost everyday. The lotus is venerated because of its exceptional purity.It grows in muddy water,but its leaves,when they emerge, stand metres above the water and are seemingly never dirty.Drops of water on a lotus leaf have an unearthly sparkle, and rainwater washes dirt from that leaf more readily than from any other plant.

On Confusions about Astaunga Yoga

AMAYE Team — Thu, 29 May 2008 23:48:14 -0400

The word Ashtanga means “eight-limbed”.This is an expression used by the author of the Yoga Sutra, Patanjali.

Patanjali was an ancient yogi who was living in India probably in the age around 300-200 BC. He is one of the most important figures of the yoga tradition, because he is the first one that has written a text with clear and systematic instructions about yoga.

He uses the expression “eight-limbed” to indicate eight important levels in the spiritual progression of a yogi:

Scientists Probe Meditation

AMAYE Team — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 00:58:06 -0400

Scientists are beginning to uncover evidence that meditation has a tangible effect on the brain.

Sceptics argue that it is not a practical way to try to deal with the stresses of modern life.

But the long years when adherents were unable to point to hard science to support their belief in the technique may finally be coming to an end.

When Carol Cattley's husband died it triggered a relapse of the depression which had not plagued her since she was a teenager.
