    Thank you for your your informed post. But it is factual that I see green while my wife sees pink. Also I remember reading Sam Harris’ Waking Up wherein he gives some examples. Although I am not very certain. I got to check it up.

    Transcending space-time 'Interstellar' style and 'Yoga Vasistha' style

    I respect your choice to be human and ‘not to know’. Some choose ‘Truth will set you free’. :)

    Transcending space-time 'Interstellar' style and 'Yoga Vasistha' style

    Thank you for your comments. I do not understand the context however. Can you please explain?

    Transcending space-time 'Interstellar' style and 'Yoga Vasistha' style

    . I will like to see the movies you have mentioned. Actually, I like most of Christopher Nolan’s works. I intentionally disparaged it a bit to invite comments. At the same time, time travel etc. in the framework of current physics remains a fiction. On the other hand, in my opinion, there is...

    Transcending space-time 'Interstellar' style and 'Yoga Vasistha' style

    INTRODUCTION Modern physics not only strikes at the root of the notion of linear time and space but raises questions about validity of ‘realism’ that there is an objective world out there. Purpose of this post is to contrast the concept of reality found in Vedanta and the story of time...

    Om Nama Shivaya

    Kena Upanishad I-4. That which is not uttered by speech, that by which the word is expressed, know That alone to be Brahman, and not this (non-Brahman) which is being worshipped. I-5. That which one does not think with the mind, that by which, they say, the mind is thought, know That alone to be...

    Advaita Vedanta versus solipsism

    When an Advaita Vedantist says ‘aham brahmasmi’ (I am Brahman), it is either taken as solipsism or as a show of some 'specialness'. Solipsism is the philosophical idea that only one's mind is sure to exist. As an epistemological position, solipsism holds that knowledge of anything outside...

    Far Right Economic Policy Menu is Poison

    This note is further to the OP. The following TED talk “The Psychology of inequality and political division” by Mr Keith Payne a social psychology professor at the University of North Carolina is a continuation. The speaker gives a scientific account of the reasons and the results of inequality...

    Is Hindu monotheism incompatible with Abrahamic monotheism?

    Sure. If you wish to see a view of a distant falcon, you may wish to wash your eyes. For Shaiva shrautikas or for Vaishnava shrautikas, Ganesha is that power of the Supreme that removes obstacles -- but Ganesha is not the Supreme Brahman. For smartas, on the other hand, Ganesha could be invoked...

    Is Hindu monotheism incompatible with Abrahamic monotheism?

    Allow me to point out that Vaisnavas or Shaivas (the shrautikas) do not believe in and worship five individual separate Gods. For them either Vishnu or Shiva represent the Supreme Saguna Brahman-Ishwara without a second. Similarly those who worship Ishwara as Goddess, they worship Devi-Durga as...

    Far Right Economic Policy Menu is Poison

    Probably for you even the main text was TL;DR. Expected though. With all humbleness I say that your points and questions are irrelevant. I will cite only one star from the main text "In 2019, the world’s billionaires, only 2,153 people, had more wealth than 4.6 billion people. Since 2015, the...
