Aanandha Yoga - Chapter-2c

Welcome to a deep study of Sanaathana Dharma

The holy book of the Christians is ‘Holy Bible’, the holy book of the muslims is ‘Holy Quaran’, the holy book of the Sikhs is ‘Gurugranth Sahib’……. and so on…… but if you ask what is the holy book of Hindus, many Hindus itself have a lot of doubt. Many people say it is the ‘Bhagavat Gita’, but acually the holy book of Hindus is the ‘Vedas’, since it is the source of all other scriptures.

Where did we the mankind, come from? Where are we sustained and what for? And where is our end? The secret answers for these question, were seen by the ancient Maharishis and passed on from generation to generation and these accumulated knowledge is known as the ‘Vedas’.

We are now living in the 21st century. We are seeing so many wonders of Science & technology. Man has landed on the moon. Almost all the planets in the solar system are being explored by sending rockets. A common man has almost all facilities and luxuries in his dwelling places. T.V, airconditioners, fridge, washing machines….etc., we are able to do so many wonders using computers. Internet, mobile phones, etc., are making our life wonderful. Many wonders are seen in the field of medical inventions also. New drugs and new replacement surgeries are making our lives easy. On the whole we may get an illusion that science is the end of everthing. And many people’s thinking is also in the same line. But if this state continues where is the end for Science & technology?
“Discovery channel”, brings us many facts about Science & technology. A series by name ‘Blast off’ is one such programme. This has been jointly produced by ‘Discovery’ and ‘NASA’.

The episode starts with these dialogue, ‘Where did we the mankind come from…………… where are we sustained…………………. And where is our end?

The very basic philosophy of NASA seems to be finding the answer for these three questions. Billions of Dollars are being spent to explore the universe to find answers to these questions.

First of all if we have to understand the questions, we have to brush up our knowledge from the basics of Sicence. What we think as our big earth is actually a mere speck of dust in this vast universe. We will see about this later. Before that let us explore the 'Vedas'.
