Guest guest Report post Posted December 8, 2003 Yadu Moharir [ymoharir] Thursday, November 27, 2003 9:27 AM -owner Subject: Dr. Yadunath USA my background: I am scientist (Clinical Chemist) and have been is North America for over 26 years. I use to teach a Mc Master Medical College in Canada and then been in the corporate positions in the pharmaceutical Industry. At present I work as a consultant in Pharmaceutical and Nutritional Industry. I was raised in the shadow of Dr. G.T. Deshpande (my uncle), he was honoured by Dr. Radhakrishnan for his contributions to lagu Siddhhaanta Kaumudi and Kavya Shastra. Deeply scored samskara have their own way to manifest. In 1996 I wrote a book "Significance of Shri Sukta: Laxmi's Invocation for National Prosperity." It was forwarded by Prof. Shridhar Bhaskar Varnekar. and I was then honored to be one of the key note speakers at the Jagatic Rg Veda Conference in 1996 (Mumbai). Bharatiiya Vidya Bhavan, Sanskrit Bhasha PrachaariNi sabhaa, Nagpur had also arranged several talks and gathered one of the most Sanskrit Pandits for the discussion. Most interesting aspect of the discussions was that all these scholars agreed that their limitation is the grammar and thus results in literal translation only and therefore rarely venture in to understanding the associated significance of these mantras with a objective mind. What I am trying to understand is very simple. Our culture is so profound, which I have no doubt, then why has my motherland suffered and keeps on suffering? Therefore I am trying to understand the significance of our Vedic, rituals, Vedic literature, puraaNa. etc. Dr. Yadunath Free Pop-Up Blocker - Get it now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It does not speak of material prosperity and democracy etc, in the way the modern world knows and defined it. So, the 'profound' word comes from some deeper level. At that stretch of inspiration, you would recognise that India is not 'poor', even today. Someone referred me to a newspaper article some time ago which referred to the London School of economics survey where in Bangladesh ranks # 1 in the happiness of people and some where close by is India. US and other countries come far away. The scriptures of India have always emphasised the alignment of individual with the God, and the society is structured around that. Let us look at the other side. If India were to imitate US or other 'developed' nations, it will not survive even for a century, owing to the huge population and strain on resources and conflict between the diverse population groups. The only thread that binds Indians together is the unity of 'spiritual and religious' traditions. Inspite of all the poverty of Indians, it is still a society with joyous culture. If there is a way to bring economic prosperity into this society through education and social order in politics and public service, it will be a star on earth. Om Namo Narayanaya !!
