NAMA RUPA

Name, Form and Function is what is the world, prapancha; by the way, the term prapancha refers to what is grasped by the five senses and mind with the help of buddhi. Ego plays a dominant role in this game of Sansar. It is ego that goes on advertising the name and function with an ID  or a visiting card,too. All the Upanishads say the reality of existence lies in dropping this name, form and function.  This will be realized when go back to the state when we were just born or in old age bedridden waiting for death, looking at the ceiling! We play all sorts of games holding onto the Adhar card, the ID and the name boards herald as so and so while we are actually nothing! This we will realize when we retire on superannuation and there is no where to go and nothing to do. Nobody will bother to talk to you and call upon you when you have all the time in the world. That day will be a sad day. People who were flocking to you, waiting for your attention, will look elsewhere when you really want them. When the ego is thus pricked by reality, wisdom may or may not dawn as to who you really are. This is what calls for the 'realization of the self'.

   The most intriguing part of our life is the role we play in this 'make-believe world' where we play an engineer, professor, industrialist, a legal luminary, or even a Bharat Ratna, or a Nobel Laureate while we are nothing in reality. Thus the Upanishads advise us to have a clear idea about who you are. This realization is not forthcoming. 

  Thus, when i realize the fact that my name is given to me by some body and i had none when I was born.  So also, all the other details that i acquire as i grow are mere acquisitions! Nothing is real. We all wear mask and play several roles in this drama of life. Shakespeare rightly said, "The world is stage and we all are actors, and spectators, too" But we do not realize this. While we were just school-going children we were playing hide n seek, or games of train , hospital, school, or householders' roles; as grown-up, too, we play the same but do not realize this! We think we are real engineers, doctors, advocates or judges, or police officers and teachers. But, at 80 (if alive), when we realize it's all a past, a memory, we feel disillusioned and miserable. Here, egp plays a major role.

  It is 'ego' , the 'i-ness' (aham-kara). Aham, or me, i is the basis of all existence of life. if 'i' goes, the world disappears! This 'i' is the mainstay that runs through life.But little do we realize the fact that this great 'i' also disappears everyday at night when we are in deep sleep and reappears as soon as we get up! Where does this 'i' go in deep sleep? In fact, it is the same self that rests with the supreme self, paramatman evernight or every time we go to sleep! This state is said to be the real state, the Brahmn. Nothing exists when 'i' (the ego) is merged in 'I' (the Self), and both are merged in supreme Self, Brahman. A yogi who realizes this will take to yoga, dhyana, dharana, and samadhi and consciously merge in Brahman. this is the state of supreme Bliss, parama ananda. There will be no disillusionment at this state.  The yogis is one who takes to sat nyas Right Path), sam nyas (Path of Totality consciousness or 'Oneness'); or sanyas (renunciation) and by dropping the name, form, and function the yogi enjoys the bliss of oneness, 'nothingness' (dynamic silence). This 'all-knowing nothingness' is the state of the Buddha. It is also 'Krishna-consciousness'..

Vedantic Cosmology

  One must be wondering how this universe has come into existence! It is as simple as something like one wishes to build a house and lo, there is the dream house! But, this is possible only for the supreme Lord who is Shree (resourceful) and there is not yet any obstacle like space, time and causation constraints But, this is not the case with mortals who have to struggle hard to get a morsel of food and a shelter. The Lord desires and His desire is the manifest forms of His Self. since everything here is just the manifest brahman such miracles are possible when He bestows His grace, It is possible for the devout ones also to get the dream house! His desire is the universe. This has been stated in Rk Veda as "He Willed" He said unto Him slef "I am alone, I shall be many". Eko'ham bahusyam |  Thus, this 'make believe-world' (maya prapancha) of ours is manifest form of His desire, His will, His shadow and reflections, His resolves,and images.

 The supreme Lord is called 'bruhat'. He is brahman. He is Space, Akasha / ether or "The One who holds everything and enters into it". tad srushtva tat eveanupravishat ||

 "Space / Akasha is required to accommodate anything and it is HE who hold everything in Himself". This projection of His divine Self in everything is manifest brahman. Thus brahman the invisible spirit manifests as Light (jyoti), Force (Shakti), Life-force (prana) chit shakti (Consciousness), manas (Mind), Thought-forces (chitta vrutti), bhavana ort ones feeling, etc. 

 The creative power (kriya shakti) is vikshepa shakti (vikshipta manas/ vikara) presents itself as the avidya/ prakruti/ ajnyana/ nescience/ illusion and vibrates as tamas shakti which when ignited with desire becomes rajas and cooled with realization becomes sattva. The order of manifestation of brahman is stated to be:This is what the jnyanis/sankhyans call prakruti (maya/ajnyana) that manifests from purusha (jnyan). With pure consciousness (Shree Hari chitta) as the basis and with the associated  nescience /ajnyana) predominating in tamas there comes the illusory Space (akasha) that is nothing but hold everything! From this 'nothingness', seen as blank space there appear vayu, agni, jala and prithvi, as if each one coming out of the other! Behind these gross objects lie the subtler and subtler states of each one of these Great Five elements (mahabhuta) called tanmatras, the essence of the elements, manifest qualities. Everything is thus vibration of chit or consciousness of brahman. prajnyanan brahma |

 There arise the need for instruments to experience the tanmatras such as, sound from akasha, feel or touch (sparsha) from air, form (rupa) from light/fire, taste (rasa) from water, and the smell (gandha) from earth (soil) and the resultant cognitive and conative manifest as the ten sense organs (jnyan and karma indriya). Thus, the gross forms are created including the humans. 

  The most intriguing part of this story of evolution is that, "brahman pervades everything as consciousness, chit, and everything that is brahman, such as akash, manas, buddhi, ahankara, chitta, agni, vayu, jal, soil (physical elements), energy, etc. also pervade every other thing". Thus, man is said to be a replica of God. This is explicitly stated  in Veda as: sarvam khaluvidam brahma | ayam atma brahma | aham brahmasmi |
   The human body is created by the spermatozoa (sperm in the egg), essentially made up of food (derived from earth/soil) and water (70%). It is surrounded by the gross aspects, as well as, the subtle aspects such as heat, air, and space. Manas, buddhi and ahankara run the affairs of this elemental body. The jiva is just a puppet in the hands of 'divine will'. There are many subtler aspects that govern the life of a person and these are attributed to karma (results of past karma) or adrushtha (luck) or fate and destiny for want of clear knowledge of the nature of this universe.
   Whatever is outside in akash is also there within the human body, as well. If the gross aspects of the body are removed the inner and the outre become one! This prompted the sages to say: "so'ham" or 'I Am That'. aham brahmasmi |
  Now, as regards the various other theories of origin of the universe, both in modern science and puranas, there is nothing different except for the language, symbolism and the methods of presentation, There are almost twenty theories and hypotheses in modern science and as many in the vedic and puranic presentations. Everything comes down to one simple fact- the vibration and waves of energy, and force.
    If 'A' is Brahman and 'ka' (anu / ion) is Atman in Vedic parlance, it is Zero (bindu, point on the periphery as well as the centre of a Circle (O) in Srividya. It is the same in in Rk Veda. Everything is pervaded by the creative energy, forces operating in the vast space called Vedic Gods like Indra, agni, varuna, maruta, rudra, mitra and vishve devas. These are presented later in puranas as different dramatic personae of the cosmic drama..      

Sharanagatim

sarva dharman parityjya mamekam sharanam vraja | BG XVIII. 66) Maamupetya tu kounteya  punarjanma na vidyate || (VIII. 15). sarva papebhyo... ...mokshyishyami |  sarvaguhyatamam bhooyaH shrunu me paramam vacaH| (XVII 64)
   Bhagavan Shree Krishna tells Arjuna "I am revealing the utmost secret, hear Me." He pleads for, the ignorant do not pay heed to His words. "Give up all actions that binds you to eternal bondage and surrender to Me. I shall redeem you from all sins and assures that there will be rebirth."

From these words it is clear that any mortal, can surrender to the Higher Self paramatman and get redeemed. all our actions are bound to beget reactions and the fruits of action (karmaphala) has to be spent here by repeated births. There shall be better life for the good deed and sufferings for bad deeds; nobody can save the jiva from the cycle of rebirth as long as the fruits of actions are fructifying (accounts of every deed is maintained by chitraguptas sa the witnessing self!). Only a total surrender to the Lord will bring complete freedom.

   This also clarifies the point that good deeds (punya karya) will bring punya phala and these have to be spent! Once these good days are over, the jiva reverts to its next birth. One should not be under the impression that one can be redeemed by good deeds. the only way to get redemption, emancipation, mukti or moksha- release from bondage or freedom from repeated entanglements and cycle of births and deaths is to stop all actions, stop even thoughts and desires that bring forth action and their fruits! Mere sattva guna (ggodness of a person), too, will not help! Get rid of all gunas- "nistraigunyobhava'arjuna" says the Lord. This aspect is highlighted in the Gita. The Lord also says, He who does not even contemplate from action and resolves are dear to Me. (See sarvarambha parityagi XII. 6). normally, we are prone to think that we will be  redeemed from rebirth byu good actions, a life of goodness (saatvika jivana)but it is not so! Every thought, desire, resolve, and action is bound to bind us to this jiva to eternal bondage.
  This may come as a surprise to those who want to serve the less fortunate. But, here again, He, the Lord warns, pride is attached to such karma and it will not redeem the blemished embodied jiva.
  To be totally free, completely at the service of the Lord and do everything in His name is what He advocates here. This sort of total surrender is not forthcoming in the jiva full of ambitions, aspirations and desires. Then how can one get mukti from repeated embodiments? The answer is: "probably, no"; it is not possible to get rid of desires and ego in one's life unless there is divine interference and a 'Guru' comes to help the jiva. 'Shaktipata' is considered an important step in this path of total renunciation and emancipation.

  

Bhagavan uvacha, "Thus spake the Lord"

"Thus spake the Lord" in the biblical language is what is "Bhagavan uvacha" in the Gitopadesha. By now, we know what is this deva bhasha from the statements in the Gita such as "aksharam brahma", "Omityetad aksharam brahma", etc. The beginning of the alphabets of Samskruta bhasha with 'a' has great significance (including English) since it is the Hiranyagarbha, the Golden Egg that hatched the universe in all its diverse forms and functions. one has to open the mouth to spell a while it should be closed to pronounce 'm'. From 'a' the immutable, Imperishable Brahman, emanates the sat, chit, ananda, and these- sat and chit, give expression to prajnya, prana, manas, buddhi, ahankara, akasha, vayu, agni. jala, pruthvi, jivarashi, and all the paraphernalia of the objective world. The radiant energy from the sun in the form of electromagnetic waves, the sun rays, contain everything, all that one can think of, such as, Light, Energy, Force, Intelligence, colour, qualities (Gunas), shabdha, akshara, pada and padartha.

  It is interesting here to note that everything is abstract in the beginning. There is no concrete expression in gross form of sound or material objects emanating from it since everything exists as a vibrant current, energy, subtle force; subtle forces vibrating at different amplitudes, intensity and frequencies have not yet attained the gross forms of solid, liquid, gas, or the audible sound (anahata dhvani) and visible forms, as such. The formula is simple: roopa (form) is the tanmatra (subtle form) of agni (energy). From the inaudible only has come the audible and, from silence only has come the sound, syllable, word and objects. From nowhere and nothing come here and now, time, space, and causation and everything! There is effect inherent in the cause. This level of understanding of 'unity consciousness' is not forthcoming in the ordinary people. This is the reason why Shree Krishna says: "Arjuna you are dear to me; I shall tell you the utmost secret". If it is a secret to even God how can ordinary people understand? Shrunu arjuma guhyatama guhyamam pravakshyami, says the Lord.

  Thus it is very difficult to understand the true nature of this creation. Everything remains a secret until the the screen of avidya is removed by constant remembrance of the Lord and practice of yoga. Spiritual development unfolds the secret in us.

  This also prompts us to be very cautious in all our thoughts, and deeds; we should be very careful while speaking. No word of falsehood, untruth, is permitted in spiritual practice. This is the reason why the great saints have advocated right thoughts, right speech, and right deeds in all walks of life.
   We should remember that 'our thoughts and the unspoken words are also very effective, powerful'! When the thoughts are of bad intention, they are more sinful and effective than action. Behind these ill-intentions and  evil thoughts are the seeds of rebirth in lower levels of life forms.
   Only a thoughtless state of Mind is really the true state, brahmn. The adage goes: "Silence is golden". Spoken words are vaikhari and do not have the power of pashyanti and madhyama. Every word we speak should be a mantra and effective. Otherwise, all our energy is wasted in simply talking, whether required or not and, our life becomes meaningless, purposeless, and senseless.

Akshara

ityetad aksharam brahma | Omityekaakshara brahma | (BG VIII. 13) aksharam brahma paramam || (BG VIII 3); aksharaanaam akaaro'smi || I am 'a' among the syllables (BG X.3) brahma akshara samudbhavam |( BG III.14). yadaksharam vedavido vadanti | (BG VIII 9).

   The Bhagavad-Gita eulogises akshara brahman and states everything is brahman, Here, akshara, (alphabet) that begins with 'a' is the Immutable Brahman. The sound 'a' is indispensable in all pronunciations of consonants such as ka, ga, ma; any consonant without a vowel is incomplete. The vowels start with 'a' and end with 'am' and 'ah'. Here, akshara means "that which does not diminish (kshara); The syllable 'a' by itslef should not be mistaken for 'brahman'. The sound of letter 'a' is called shabdha brahman since everything has its origin in sound. 
   The sound (shabdha is the tanmatra of Akasha (space) and Akasha is brahman. The sound that permeates the universe is brahman, shabda brahman. The first letter of the alphabet is 'a' and it is the source of all that manifests later as the alphabets, words, the objects referred to by the words and thereby the objective phenomenal world, the universe, is also considered brahman.
  It is only the humans who are endowed with the power of speech. All speech emanate from breath. The syllable a has its origin in the navel, the syllable u has its origin in the heart, and the syllable m has its origin in the throat. Thse syllables A U M are the primordial sounds that manifest from the seat of brahman, the navel. Incidentally the first letter of Rk Veda, samaveda and the yajurveda start with a, u, and m respectively. Hence the syllables a u and m constitute the Veda brahman. Hence AUM (Om) is called akshara brahma. 

   The term 'akshara' (samsk.) is varna, syllable, alphabet, or letter; and, a-kshara means 'that which is imperishable' (kshara means perishable and a is brahman, the Imperishable, the Immutable. 'That' (tyat) Iperishable (a-kshara) is called 'brahman', "akshara brahman". It also means the alphabets of Samskruta hasha starting from a ending with ksha energised or infused with creative power 'ra'.  Here, 'ra' meaning,  teja / energy / surya (sun).Thus akshara means both alphabet and 'brahman' the impersishable and the Absolute. Brahman is the unmanifest causeless cause of all that exist. It is karanasya karanah; being no reason, it is the cause of all that exists. Nothing is attributed to brahman. brahman is attributeless, nirguna.

  As the creative power (kriya shakti) devi sharadamba is attributed as the saguna brahman, brahma svarupini. Thus, the universe is created by this saguna brahman, the feminine aspect of parabrahman. As the creatrix, devi sharada breathes unto all vital force, life, without Her self breathing !Her breath creates the sound (naada) and it is called 'naada brahman'. Sound of breath creates the letters and letters form the word; word comes out with meaning and manifests as the object referred to by the word. This is as simple as creation of an umbrella. When a person wants some thing to cover the head in rain, an idea occurs, an image is formed, a cloth over head attached to a stick comes out as an object called the umbrella!

  The process of creation is as simple as the umbrella created by necessity to have some protection to head from rain and sun! From 'desire' comes the idea, and there emerges the image, and the creative ability with knowledge (jnyan), technology (tantra), and the object (dravya / vastu) manifests the objective world. Hence ideation, imagination, creation are all manifestation of brahman and, thus, brahman only manifest as the objective phenomenal world!

   Brahman is the underlying cause of all causes, kaaranasya kaaranah. The will, desire, resolve of brahman is said to be the cause of creation. Eko'ham bahusyam | "I am alone; i shall become many, said the Lord."(Rk Veda)."Desire is also brahman. 
Everything is brahman. sarvam khaluvidam brahma ||
 This is the fundamental principle. Creation is, thus, attributed to brahman. 

  As already stated, the universe manifests from brahman at three levels- the brahmanda (stars and galaxies / Go Loka); the pindanada (Jiva or individual level); and, the andanda (the kana, jivakosha/anu level). Expression of brahman or manifestation of brahman at different levels is visualized by a jnyani or yogin in transcendental meditative state (samadhi). Thus, it needs no proof from any external source. It is once own experience. However, expression of this experience is what is heard rather than written and published; may be it is memorized and communicated to trusted few by word of mouth. Thus the word became God. Bible also sates: "The 'Word' was with the God and 'Word' is God."  The word that has become sacred, thus, is itself called the mantra, the vidya.

   Expression of the intuitional knowledge so derived from one's meditative state of a yogi who has visualized brahman, called a brahmana, is almost impossible and, the experiences in a transcendental state (samadhi) are inexplicable. However, these have found some abstract forms in sounds, syllables, words and illegible phrases, called mantra or Rks and saman- the Veda. Thus, the Veda, mantra, and brahmana have become closely associated. The Veda is thus said to be: mantra brahmanayor vedah ||. Thus every syllable or word expressed by a siddhi purusha is very effective as a mantra. 

Evolution of akshara:

  Just as the stars, planets and satellites have appeared from one single source of Brahman, the entire language has its source in the breath and emanates as sound, syllables and letters. 

  alphabet 'a' is the first letter and all the svara from a to am and ah have their source in the first letter that qualifies itself to be brahman as the source of creation. From 'a' comes 'aa', i, e, o, ou, and am ah.   Here the short sound (hrusva) 'a' holds within its self the deergha 'aa'. This is Brahman and Bliss, respectively. the letter 'a' thus stands for sat. from sat emanates the chit, chitta, chiti, chetasa, chaitanya and chaitya- the fountain of creation. Thus, from a, the creative power of brahman 'sat' emanates consciousness, jnyan (knowledge) and the creative energy (kriya shakti) and knowledge off transformation (technology), creative intelligence (buddhi), mind, akash, time, space, prana (Life force), etc. as expressed by the above svara akshara sixteen in number. (See Table below).

   All the consonants / vyanjana akshara ( from ka to ksha- 35 in all) joined by the vowels or svara such as a, i, e, ai, o and ou or am and ah (kriya shakti) stated above produce the universe ranging from the akasha, vayu, agni, jala, and pruthvi (ka-varga), followed by their tanmatra such as shabdha, sparsha, roopa, rasa and gandha (cha-varga); to experience these tanmatras come the jnyana and karma indriyas numbering ten (Ta-varga and ta-varga); and, finally, there present manas, chitta, buddhi, ahankara and Ishvara (pa-varga) and there remain ya, ra, la, va, sha, and Sha, sa, and ha as the energy centres in the jiva (consciousness plexus) and the sound of breath an life-force in the jiva. Sha sha and sa ha have sa and ha as distinctly cleatr sound of in-breath and out breath, respectively. Thus sa is the creative force and ha is the dissolution 'ksha' remains undisturbed and finally devowers, swallows as 'ha' everything within it; it is  the dissolution power (kaala). Lord Shree Krishna says, "He is kaal"; kaalo'smi |           

What is so great about Samskruta Bhasha?

   Samskruta Bhasha is the Deva Bhasha (not the anglicised 'Sans krit' language that means lifeless language). It is a language of the divine souls. Actually, the present day Samskrutam is also a slang and, much worse, the Language spoken in Jammu and Srinagar is also Samskruta with a localized slang and almost all of them have been converted. The Buddhists had Pali and Devanagari languages; prior to that exited ardhamagadhi, jarbhari, turfari, and the like. All these are great languages with spiritual power inherent in every syllable. Even now the Rk Veda is so esoteric, full of symbolism, iconic, and semantically very difficult to understand. Every syllable in Samskrutam has deeper root meaning and intent and, the present day samskruta pundits cannot even think of it! For example, the term 'rahasya' is treated as 'secret'; but, it is a passage ('raha' ) of some thing ('yasya'). Moreover, there is no grammar and composition in ancient Samskrutam scriptures as is now understood! Panini and other scholars come later to provide a systematised language as such. 'Nirrukta' was there for reference in case of difficulty in understanding. The Gods (divine souls) had their own communication in sign language, mudra and samjya (signs and symbols). Everything was abstract in the beginning. The transparent minds could easily read the minds understand the intentions of the speakers. Even today, intellectual exercises will not help; only spiritual development with the help of scripture will do. 

   The secret of Samskrutam lies in its inherent power of creation (srushti) and sustenance (sthiti) of the universe. Everything, starting from the mighty stars and galaxies to every single ion, atom, molecule of the objective phenomenal world has its origin in the syllables  / alphabets (akshara) of this Great language / samskruta bhasha.

  Everything manifest from brahman, and this principle applies to the power of speech (vaak shakti) of the humans, too. What if the humans had no power of speech? Who gives this power of speech to humans and why not this privilege to the animals? Is it to shout, quarrel, fight, kill and destroy each other? This is what is going on or seen in the present-day world. On the contrary, the language elevates man from his animal state to human and divine state and this is evident from the soft and melodious spoken language (of samskrutam, needless to say). The beauty of this divine language is revealed step by step in the following as received from the Shaiva agama shastra where the Supreme Lord Shiva explains all these secrets. (See Shiva sutras ).

  Unlike the English language which is a floating one, the Samskruta bhasha pierces directly to heart and there is a resonance of intuitional knowledge revealed! The alphabets (the alpha and beta?) of English language starting with the A B C D and X Y Z) do not have the deeper root meaning. Every samskruta pada has a dozens of secret meanings and only a shrewd adept can know it. The samskruta bhasha has come from the inner depth of the being, a yogi! Just as the star Sun is born and, from it has manifested the planets, and in turn, their satellites (like the earth and the moon) the entire alphabets have emanated from the first syllable 'a' meaning brahman. Along with this 'a' has come the universe; the sound of the syllables have the capacity produce the objects- from the subtle feeble tremor  has come the gross Sound (shabdha) . In fact, this has been mistaken for the 'Big Bang' !

  The gross 'Sound' (shabda) has emanated from the subtle 'spanda' (vibration) and waves (taranga) have moved out in different directions and thereby the 'dik' and disha (directions) are formed! this is how Time and Space are created by the sound. The moment the tremors set out, the directions (dik) and space (desha) and the moment the sound erupted, the time (kaala) started.  All these started from one point, the bindu (epicentre), called Shiva, according to Shaiva agama shastra. Shiva is Ishvara, the Lord of the universe. The creative power of Shiva is Shive, the Divine Mother. The same is also true in the case of Vaishnava agama sastra where the universe manifest as  the divine will of Shree Hari Narayana and the the creative power, Lakshmi. The ancient text Pancharatra gives more details.

(to be contd..)

  

Language is the Key

Language is the key: 

  A nation is known by the quality of its people, their language, culture and history. India had attained the rare distinction of a land of yogis. The following statement of Lord Macaulay in the British Parliament on February 2, 1835 makes this point clear.

  "I have traveled across the length and breadth of India and i have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief, such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such caliber, that i do not think we would ever conquer the country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation  which is her spiritual and cultural heritage and therefore i propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good than their own, they will lose their self esteem, their native culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation."

  This is a pointer to the state of our nation today. Even the Moghuls did not interfere, rather adored the ancient Indian scriptures and there are many scholars among the Muslims who are learned in the Veda. In fact, many have pointed out that Qur'on is nothing but the Rk and Saman in Persian language. What is wrong with our people today, aping the West in dress, food, language, culture and everything that ruins the human values?

    In a way, it appears man takes birth in ignorance and dies in ignorance without ever knowing where and how he/she has come and what he is doing and expected to do, and when and how he/she will go from here. During the interlude, called birth and death, or a drudgery of what is called life of say a hundred years, nothing much can be known.

   It is a wonder how the child learns to speak in its early days, that too, many languages as and how it is exposed to! Also, there are children who get confused when the parents talk in different languages and fail to pick up any! It is a cause for anxiety if the child does not speak as expected within a certain period and the parents have to rush to doctors. 

   There is language problem everywhere in India due to  linguistic State and the education policy of the Government! The problem lies in the quality of the politicians and selfish foolish people who run the Government. People who do not know our ancient history, culture, tradition, scriptures and rich treasures in the form of Veda, Upanishads, Brahmasutra and the Bhagavad-Gita have come to rule! Obviously, they have ruined the country. 

    let us remember, it is Lord Macaulay who stated in the British Parliament on February 2, 1825 "that the only way to make the indian slaves and work for them is by destroying their traditional educational base." He was instrumental in framing the British-oriented Indian education policy with English as the medium of instruction and now India stands totally destroyed, with linguistic States, border disputes and quarreling among themselves! 

   We have lost a golden opportunity to frame an indigenous people-oriented education policy with Samskruta as the basis soon after Independence. This is not a tall claim and can be seen from the rich cultural heritage of india as seen in our Samskruta bhasha illustrated here. Every alphabet of Samskrutam is potent, rich and resourceful! It is the divine language (deva bhasha) that infuses intelligence (medha shakti), creative energy (kriya shakti), in the children. Let's see how the svara and vyanjana aksharas are created and what power these sounds of syllables have in their depth. The whole person- physiologically, is involved in this exercise of learning and using the Samskruta bhasha. It leads man from animal to human, and divine states gradually and establishes him at the highest level in all walks of life, peak of humanity (uttunga shikhara) !
