Fifteen days with Indian Philosophy.




 Everything which is changed is not always Gold. Now we all are in hurry, we have no time to look back our past how it was ! What is the importance of it ? Why it is necessary to remembere ? Many things which is discussed by Western philosophers during Modernist time , it is already existed in Indian literature. But unfortynetly we are not able to find it.  Our vaidik literature gives the path to the world. 


We all are just talking about our great literature, upanisdas and all but we never try to read it what actually is in it ? Whay such things have been written ? Now a days , Pathetuc situation is that some other people tell us what is in it. How worthy such things are and soon we start feeling proud.

Last fifteen days spend with Indian 
Philosoohy. Really it is much wirthy for me to get idea about it. Why Indian philosophy is much more important for the world.
Present Indian must be #criticized but with that past of India must be lead because it has power to uplift the whole again.

I surely say to all that one who read this must able to do work confidently. It provides full of positive enrgey.  Its all about human eagrness to know all things then even many things are existed which can't be understand by human begins.

India is a country where to avoid thinking is impossible. 

George Barnad Shaw that .....

" The Indian way of living life provides the vision of the natural, real way of living life. We veil ourselves with  unnatural mask. on the face of Indian are tender expressions which carry the mark of the creators hand."


Rigveda is an Indian and exclusively an Indian Literature. 

If we look at our past, it was glorious and fulfil with magnificent and much wisdom of the world. We have Upanishads and Vedant which still can lead people to live their life with honesty , morality. We had many great writers , scientists , thinkers or philosophers. we have much stronger and marvellous heritage for which we feel proud to be Indian. Though country has the lack of much materialistic things, it is enough rich through heritage, Culture , Vaidic literature and Upanisads.

 Learning is unfolding of what has been originally enfold.

બ્રહ્મ અને આત્મા આ બેસ્તંભોના આધાર પર ઉપનિષદોના તત્વજ્ઞાનની ઇમારત રચાયેલી છે.

 Indian philosophy :Upanishadas the basis of the enlightened faith of India. UPanishadic poetry is mystical moral or metaphysical rather than heroic or lyrical or love.  UPanishada said that .

 જીવનનો ઉત્સવ અને મૃત્યુનો મહોત્સવ છે ઉપનિષદ. 

અસ્તિત્વ એટલે લયની કવિતા અને કવિતાનો લય !

ऊँ पूर्णम् अद: पूर्णम् इदं पूर्णात पूर्णम उदच्यते ।
पूर्णस्य पूर्णम् आदाय पूर्णम्एव अवशिष्यते।। (Ishawashyam Upanishada)

"To get the highest position in your life , you have to be polite and divine heart."  You are alone hear ,so you can afford to be honest to be real.

Individual is a product of society. World is unreal ,fleeting and changing. Problem of economy is problem of culture. 

ઉપનિખદ એટલે..... આપણા અસ્તિત્વની દિવ્ય નવલકથા.
ઉપનિષદ એ તત્વજ્ઞાન છે પુરાણ નથી ! આપણે ભલે સામાન્ય હોઈએ  પરંતુ આપણી ભીતર પડેલી શક્યતાઓ અસામાન્ય છે એનોઉદ્દઘોષ છે..ઉપનિષદો.

Wain Dayair said .. "You are not human being,having spiritual experience ; you are a spiritual being having human experience."

સૃષ્ટિમાં રહેલી  એકતા , શૂન્યતા અને અનંતતા મળીને જે સંગમતીર્થ રચાય તે પૂર્ણતા ! ઋષિ ભાસ્કરાચાર્ય જ વિશ્ર્વને અંનતની ભેટ ધરી. 
              

મહર્ષિ ચરક said that the depth of whole sight...

"प्रत्यक्षं हि अल्पं अनल्यं अप्रत्यक्षम् । "

ઉપનિષદોમાં અસ્તિત્વનામૂળને પામવાના પ્રયત્નો છે. ચાર મહાવાક્યો એની આધારશીલા છે.

 વાણી જેનું વર્ણન ન કરી શકે અને મન જેના વિશે વિચારી ન શકે તે બ્રહ્મ છે.

" i do not paint what i see ,I paint        what i know."
- Pecaso 

           Being and becoming નહી જગત અને જગદિશ કરતાં પણ વધુ મહત્વની છે જાત પર શ્રધ્ધા ! (self confidence) 

         નરસિંહ મહેતા got such truth in his experience then he is able to write.....


પવન તું પાણી તું ભૂમિ તું , ભૂધરા ,
શિવ થકી જીવ થયો એ જ આશે. 

Superior virtue use  no force but nothing is undone, inferior  virtue use force but achieves nothing.Rebirth is the law of Nature. 

વિજ્ઞાન માપની પ્રતિતી કરાવી શકે અમાપની નહી ! 
મનથીય ગતિમાન એવું તત્વ તે 'આત્મત્વ'. Science without religion is lame and Religion without science is blind.

"There is a common flow,one common breathing , all things are in sympathy." 
   - Arthur Clolosar .

To have to have questions is only the way to get knowledge. it is only the way to come out from the darkness. Upanishadas teaches us to ask questions because all upanishadas have questions answers form only. It is splendid lesson for all of us.  



It is for all because it is not religions it is philosophy. It is the wisdom to live life. It is the depth of thinking. it is also true that everybody can't understand these. 

I would like to highlight some questions from different Upanishadas.......

બૃહદારાણ્યક : 

એવું તે ક્યું મૂળછે જેમાંથી જીવનના વૃક્ષનું મૂળ મૃત્યુથી વારંવાર કપાતું હોવાછતાં ઊગ્યા કરે છે? 

શ્ર્વેતાશ્ર્વર :

કારણ શું છેબ્રહ્મ શું છે? આપણે શેના વડે જીવીએ છીએ ? સુખ દુ:ખ શેનાથી અધિષ્ઠિત છે ? 

કેનોપનિષદ :

કોની આજ્ઞાથી પ્રાણગતિ કરે છે ? કોની ઇરછાથી મન પોતાના વિષય તરફ જાય છે?

મુંડક ઉપનિષદ: 
 શું જાણવાથી બધું જાણી શકાય ? 

કઠોપનિષદ : 
મૃત્યુ બાદ આત્મા ક્યાં જાય છે ?

ઉપનિષદોમાં ક્યાય ભગવાનની વાત નથી, એ આત્મત્વની વાત છે , એ સૂશ્ર્મત્વની વાત છે એ સૌમાં અસ્તિત્વ ધરાવે છે. ભગવાન ના અસ્તિત્વ પર શંકા હોય શકે પરંતુ આપણું હોવાપણું તો આપણી સાથે છે જ ને !!

ईशावास्यमिंद सर्व यत्किंच जगत्यां जगत।
तेन त्यकतेन् भुंजिया: मा गृध: कस्य स्विद धनम। ( ईशावास्य उपनिषद) 

Metaphysicians are Musicians without musical talent. it gives thinking, wisdom, mutual understanding and much more. When somebody knows about it , s/he is her/his in total peace.  

Its not about God but it all about Self. God can pardon us but our nervous system would not. 

Western philosophers like Satre , Martin Eslin Albert camus , Kinerkegard  also talks about Existentialism. T.S.Eliot finds the salvation from Indian philosophy. ...

Enchantments of Shloks gives wonderful vibes with Nature and to whole world. Really, it has power which can't be explained . One only go through it. 

These are days which is more important for me because whlie i m reading , i feel different pleasrue . It gives me something which is more valuable for me. Somethings are changed which can't be explain , which can't be seen with eyes. But surely it happens with me. Still not able to explain what it is but whatever it is surely it is splendid. One must accept the death with glorious way only. Out of fear of Everything........

Book review on ' Gandhi Ni Kawad ' by Harindra Dave.

Gandhi  Ni Kawad                             - Harindra Dave             One of the most famous Gujarati writer - Harindra Dave writes so many novels, Plays, essays and poetry also. " Gandhi Ni Kawad" is  written by Harindra Dave. "This novel is X- Ray image of our society."             Title of the novel is very symbolic. Through the reading readers can't understand the meaning of the title but at the end it is really very symbolically represented the core of the novel.             In this novel we find satire on politics and system. We can say that novel has the plot of politics. Though it has some furious senses, it remains pathetic till the end. The protagonist Karunashakar himself becomes the victim of the system who is against of this system. Karunashankar is used by politicians as manageable commodity.  and he becomes scapegoat of them. And , at the end he has no  way to escape from the situation in which he himself ca
