***ASK NOT WHAT HINDUISM WILL DO FOR YOU,

                                BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR HINDUISM***

 Perennial relevance of Vedo- Upanishad Teachings-I saw a WhatsApp meassage recently with the following-

‘WHENEVER I GIVE A LECTURE ON QUANTUM PHYSICS, I FEEL AS IF I AM TALKING  ON VEDANTA”. I studied  matter for 35 years ,only to find out that it doesn’t exist! I have been studying something that doe not exist’- exactly what Adi Shankara said long back from the Upanishads-  “ALL THAT YOU SEE DOESN’T EXIST”. (Hans-Peter Duerr)

 Thereafter my research on the said professor took me to the following-

“Matter and energy are the two sides of the same coin; they are not two distinct entities at the subtlest level, opines a great physicist, Hans-Peter Duerr, Emeritus President of the Max Planck Institute in Munich, who succeeded Albert Einstein and Werner Heisenberg. Trying to look at matter at its subtlest level for the last 55 years, Hans-Peter recently realised that there is no matter distinct from energy at that level. That vast omnipotent energy is the universal consciousness (or God) and we humans are but a tiny bit of that consciousness, the individual consciousness.

One need not go in search of God in all temples, churches and mosques, while our own God resides within all of us as universal compassion and friendship. Why not try and develop that God who is attainable to each and everyone of us? One need not even be literate to do that, one has to be educated though, to know that God resides inside each of us. We need to transform ourselves from the manliness of “getting and forgetting to the godliness of giving and forgiving.” One could attain godhood easily by meditation and praanaayaamaa not overnight but by constant practice.. (Prof. BM Hegde, The God within ( The Hindu,9.9 2012

• The import of the above findings by Prof. Duer is that what our Upanishads declared thousands of years ago, and re-iterated by Adi Shankaracharya so emphatically, are now verifiable with scientific temper. 
• Of course this will call for an open mind and will to admit like above.
• Today many are afraid of such an open inquiry, lest it comes out that Hinduism is far ahead of all others in theory and substance. People seem afraid of facing the truth.
• An intelligent/intellectual/open/neutral dialogue- SAMVAD- as Adi Shankaracharya did with his opponents -which led to his coronation as Jagad Guru in the 8 century by the then scholars- is the need of the hour.
• I hope one day an open discussion on comparative merits of current religions will take place like an OLYMYAD ON RELIGION -say under the auspices of UN. 
• Unless such a debate and  a broad consensus on LIVE AND LET LIVE is attempted,  future of the world looks indeed bleak. 
• Hopefully something will happen on those lines. Umid pe kayam hai Duniya.

Be happy. Be safe.
