Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
Sanatan Dharma is losing its importance. Probably too much of it is sold to fulfill desires and not the actions. This Srimad Bhagwad Gita and Kapil's Sankhya (App C) uncovers the science of creations, spirituality, and behaviors, explaining cosmological hierarchy personified as Lord Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh, Cosmic Pillar Shivalinga, and symbol of Brahm OUM. It explains the psychology of Id, Ego, and Superego pragmatically through Satwa, Rajas and Tamas and helps handle difficult decisions through the five-factor theory of actions. Myths busted: Castes are 'Personalities' by qualities and actions; Yagya is not just an altar of fire but the utilitarian Projects.
Why Dharma? It affects the world more directly than anything else: our psychology, sociology, policies & principles, performances, political choices, behaviors, decision making, business, profession, personality, and even upbringing of the children and consequentially the image, productivity, and prosperity of the country. Mistakes may be ineffective if Dharma is followed logically. Our under-calibrated opinions, called perspectives, carry ignorance. Our leaders would be more visionaries and better decision-makers if they take cognition of triguna effects. Humanity is religion one, and it must prosper in egalitarian and utilitarian ways - says spiritual oneness in Sanatan Dharma. Eternal laws apply to all believers and non-believers alike. Today children are losing the value systems, which is detrimental to them and the country. Blind Belief and Karma-Kanda would not make them righteous citizens; Logical understanding of Dharma-led-Purusharth will, and this is the need of the hour to end all political separatism, wealth nucleation and terrorism.
Pramendra Srivastava found his calling in religions, fascinated by amazing scientific facts hidden in scriptures. Sanatan Dharma is a proponent of Science and knowledge, which is widely stated in Srimad Bhagavad Gita, and it naturally drew him to analyze scriptures.
Synopsis
No one can escape Dharma, the eternal laws. Beliefs grow into actions, and action-learning converts to Sankhya, while deeper research requires meditation, i.e. Bhaktiyog, Karmyog, Gyanyog, and Dhyanyog successively. Fundamentalists never comprehend the fundamentals of religion, ironically, nor do the apostates. Ancient Rishi's quest for survival of humanity in sync with nature forced inquiries into physical and metaphysical realms, discovering spirituality as the basis of Science, Creations and Psychology, which they coded into mythologies and symbols, only to be deciphered in times to come.
Basic pillars of Sanatan Dharma, i.e. Purush, Prakriti, Brahm and Yog hide sciences. The element of ubiquitous spirit in us warns naturally. Sanatan Dharma explains ethical hierarchies, egalitarianism and utilitarianism, with intent to establish Summum Bonum. People from different culture and religions think alike due to triguna nature, which applies beyond man-made religious boundaries. Rishis searched for the truth honestly, Later politicization created today's religions. At core, all religions are the same, and hold the key to oneness globally. Does Yoga compare to Trinity in Christianity? How Prophet Mohammad, got enlightenment while meditating in the Hera Caves? Big Bang theory of creations has a mention in scriptures, from the smallest dimensionless source to infinitely expanding universe? Lord Vishnu rests in a serpentine bed in Ksheer Sagar (or milky way); from his naval evolves Lord Brahma, the solar system, Terrestrial gods pray Him. Cosmological hierarchy is depicted as Lord Brahma Vishnu Mahesh? This book logically deciphers symbols and myths, meant to define humanity.
