Questions related to Indian Philosophy
It is said that kabasura kudineer a product of Indian traditional medicine siddha/ayurveda has some beneficial effects against covid 19 infection. I would like to know more about this.
As the "distribution lecturer" from the once cult film "Carnival Night" said: "Is there life on Mars, is there life on Mars - this is unknown to science." 66 years ago, when the Eldar Ryazanov took off his famous tape, any other answer would not give a synod academics. And what does today's science say, and not only about the Red Planet? If you ask the question a bit, are there other residences of life in the Universe?
While studying about the roots of Indian philosophy and mathematics, I found that many philosophers consider the Vaisesika sutras of Kanada as the earliest exposition of `physics' (although I disagree personally as far as the terminology is concerned). Therefore, I am curious know if somebody has tried to write down the sutras, which were written in Sanskrit words, in terms of mathematics.
Dream is an epistemic phenomenon in Indian philosophy.
It is still debatable as status it is real or unreal? If someone can feel his or her feelings in dreaming state then are they spatio-temporally connected in this state?
All are questionable to rethink .
The present generation students are after material world and ignoring the fundamentals of education. According to Indian philosophy, END OF EDUCATION IS CHARACTER but in today’s, world that is missing. If you want see happiness, healthy, honesty, contentedness with people it has come through education only but from lower level to university level. What is missing now and what we should add at university level education to inculcate good character among the present generation students?

india is known widely because of it's great minds of the philosophy. there are number of native philosophers which are yet to known by world philosophy fraternity. why shouldn't we share the related information.
I have read a couple of book chapters about the VHP in Denmark and something on the US and UK. But I wonder of there has been done any good research about the VHP or the Sangh Parivar as a whole in other European countries.
I'm interested in knowing how Indian philosophical traditions have dealt with the sense of touch, who wrote on this and which are the most relevant studies (if any) on the subject.
Thanks!
I am working on paper on infinity and I have problems with "PURNA". Is the situation similar vwith the Greek APEIRON? And what about Egyptian god HEH? Do you know some good paper or book?
Specifically, how does organizational culture work as a value system in Indian higher education? Looking at the level of the individual organisation, I'm interested in the 'complex reality of the university as an organisation possessing its own structures, cultures and practices' (Fumasoli and Stensaker, 2013). Unit of 'analysis' being the single college or university.
Please come forth with views on the value systems from academics, managers and administrators on 'the content and practices of teaching or the inner life of research' in the Indian context.
Or else, perhaps you can direct me to publications which were grounded in participant observation or ethnography.

In the Bhagavad-gita the last instruction is to surrender fully unto Him, the author of the Bhagavad-gita, but unfortunate men of demonic mentality misunderstood the teachings of Bhagavad-gita as a method of sophistry and therefore the same Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna in the garb of a transcendental devotee preaches the same techniques of Bhagavad-gita in a demonstrative way.
The method of His demonstration was also very suitable. He inaugurated the sankirtana movement accompanied with melodious song which has been found practically very effective amongst the masses. It is not possible for the masses to study the Vedanta or to undergo the difficult mystic processes in the Kali-yuga when the general populous is indolent, unfortunate, short-lived and always disturbed by physical and mental tribulations. The general mass of people are fallen in the estimation of the great saints, and for them Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is the only hope for deliverance.
That is, is the title to be read as 'Self-rule for India'(Hind, a foreign Persian and Arab name for the country beyond the Indus, a colonial state ruled from outside, though Gandhi rejected both the idea of a 'state' and also foreign rule)... or as a more abstract and perhaps philosophical 'Indian version of autonomy' from individual up through (or 'out to') all the intersecting and nested groups which constitute 'Indian' society and identity?
Hello everyone,

If there are any other tools for measuring Anaskti or Asakti, please let me know.
Thanks
there is an interesting story about MAHARASTRIAN [ A STATE IN INDIA] culture here with me to share.in 12th century saint named JNANESHVAR OR JNANADEV rejuvenated the spiritual pilgrimage within mahaRshtra. people from all over maharashtra now from all over world start their pilgrimage from two places of maharashtra till PANDHARPUR in maha. only. this is journey without any vehicle yes i mean by walking these group of the people complete150 kilometers. almost 24 days this goes on. it is a wonder how these peole are fed, and how all other services are provided to them. secondly they not only walk but also dance,play music, and lot of other fun is also there. they experience a complete pleasure. this tradition attracts persons from all walks of the life.
jnaneshvar who is the one pioneer of this tradition wrote a extreme erudite commentary on BHAGVDGITA at his age of 16, named J NANESHVARY. It is also considered on of the best commenatary on geeta BY SCHOLARS LIke r. d. ranade. jnaneshvary is a leap ahead of SHANKAGITABHASHYA. One should go through the highly logical and philosophical agrumentative style of jnaneshvar.
i beg the attention to it especially of my foreign friends that how philosophy is deeply penetrated in to indian culture.
At present I'm trying to write a paper aiming at a philosophical apporach to Indian philosophy. The focus is on Nyāya school (not Nāvya-Nyāya!!) and the fundamental question that constitutes the core subject is: "what's Indian philosophy?". In order to trace a consistent answer, I'm taking inspiration in Dilthey's "Das Wesen der Philosophie", where he writes the essence of philosophy lies in ἐπιστήμη and ἔθος (the knowledge being both valid for/in itself and functional for ethics). The risk to avoid is mere/bare comparison: the discussion should keep itself very far from barren parallels between East and West like "here we say this, there they say that", or "this is similar to that, this is not". The task is essentially philosophical (τὸ τί ἐστι!!), namely, to apply philosophical categories/strategies in order to put in evidence the philosophical side of Nyāya.
Any idea, suggestion, further readings?
