Area GREY

It has been a few days since I have posted on my blog. Well, thanks to MBA, never got enough time to write something new. (You might not work, but it is fashionable to say "ufff, I have truck load of work")

neways, for the last few days, I knew what I wanted to write on the blog but due to the time constraints, could not.....

A few days back, during my retail mgmt class, the class discussion drifted towards a very unlikely topic - Indian Mythology & Science. How much are they related? Generally, as soon as we say Indian mythology, people create a picture of following mindless rituals and rites without any logic or scientific proof.

I will say that they are not scientifically proven because of the lack of research & surely cann't agree to the fact that these are not logical. Think about them, study about them and they start to make a lot of sense, logically. Don't believe me???? Let me give a few examples

1. The first written proof of knowing speed of light was not given by Galileo in 17th century but you can find it in our own "Rigveda"
2. If you have studied holy "Shiv Puran" and know about the Big Bang theory about the creation of Universe, then you will realize that both of them are pointing finger in the same direction.

& this is not the end. There are many things in Hindu myths for which a logic can be provided. All you need to do is LOOK AROUND. There are many books (& books well researched ,and by well known authors and a few by some scientists as well) which talk about the same thing.

Once a friend of mine asked me"If there is so much knowledge in these books/myths, then why don't WE understand it or why is it written in such a cryptic form? & If our ancestors were so knowledgable, why did we loose there knowledge?"

The reply to the first question from my point of view was that

• They must have written it in the form they knew the best. We understood it originally, but with the passage of time, we no longer understand it. Because instead of practising them (as was told in these texts) we started to preach them.

But I didnot have any answer to the second question, till a few days ago. During the same class, I mentioned above, my teacher said "To start something new, the old has to come to an end"

Is it possible, that to start a new civilization (of which we are a part) the old civilization disappeared and their knowledge was lost?

Definite answers??? NO......

Logic ????? May be.....

Faith???? Possibly.....

Science??? Will love to prove that.......
