ancient wisdom modern times

a general session on ancient wisdom of india and how it can be of use to modern hi-tech world. ideas in the form of symbols of culture and religion? how words and language convey ideas specific to a culture.

understanding ourselves in the process. demystifying concepts, clarifying misunderstanding, and sharing amazing insights, many other verbs on many other nouns :)

e.g.

- qualities of a good leader? - from bhAsa’s kAdambari!

- what does the visual representation of shiv mean? - the names mahAkAl, mahAdev; the snakes, ashes, two earrings? what does lakshmI, saraswatI, viShNu, durgA, ayodhyA, dharma etc mean? understanding the meaning will give a totally new insight into our ’superstitions’ :)

- a simple daily practice that reduces chances of heart attack? - there is actual a hard science reason for this, even recent TOI news (reported too late) says heart attacks happen mostly in early morning hours, the waking hours.

- mantras for every occasion? - right from waking, bathing, eating, sleeping etc. why? and what is the psychlogical/spiritual significance.

- status of women in ancient indian society? - in the recent ‘culture protector’ events in news, this will be an eye opener.

- where not to live? - before moving to a place, what should you check out?

- do we have no rights on the results of our deeds? - the most misunderstood concept of indian philosophy!
