( himagiri bhūmiḥ ) (ihmigir ÉUim>) Dr Meenakshi Srinivasan © School of Vedic Sciences (Aust) Inc Commentary: Australia is also known as the ‘HiraNmaya Khanda’ to signify its richness in gold and coral deposits. This land is also known as the ‘manidweep bhoomi’ implying “the land of gems”. Various varieties of pearls, minerals, opals and other precious stones are found in abundance here. A plethora of flora rich in medicinal value is also found on this land. Approximately, sixty rivers flow through this country. Water flowing in these rivers is impregnated with metals and alloys. This place was home to a large species of marsupials, of which a few such as Kangaroos, Wallabies and Koalas can still be seen in the wild. Indigenous inhabitants of this land revere the five elements and venerate fire (Agni) ‘yagneeshwara’ understanding its importance for mankind and hence are called Shivaganas. Through dot paintings they depict various states of mind. These paintings are a spiritual representation of the mother earth on a higher plane. The Indigenous people have created their own vocal instrument called Didgeridoo that reverberates OmKara and are experts in the use of a specialised weapon called Boomerang. Uluru, a sacred place in this land is also the normative icon of this country. This is a stable land in the middle of the vast ocean affluent with rich minerals, diverse flora and fauna. The rich exuberance of colours , red at the centre Uluru, white on the peaks of Snowy Mountains, blue on the Mountains, colourful extravagance of the reef and top end bordered by the green oceans, makes this land an abode of peace and serenity. I salute this great country with its plethora of colours, natural resources, flora, fauna, art, culture and people. Medhā: Edition 5 - November 2014 Page 3 Foreword We could be pardoned for the lack of humility in claiming laurels for the Fifth edition of Medha 2014, the annual Sanskrit School Magazine. From humble beginnings the magazine has established a benchmark for community language publications. Medha is seen as a platform for academics, community leaders, elders, students and scholars to share knowledge and experience complimenting the pluralistic openness of both the Indian and Australian societies. This is also a scaffold for aspiring young scholars as some of the articles are written by primary school children enrolled in the Sydney Sanskrit School. This edition presents a variety of articles on diverse subjects such as Yoga, Philosophy, history, arts, culture, science, mathematics, Bhakti (devotional service) spread across in an easy reading format. The annual achievements of the school, the students learning outcomes are reflected in the annual report and in articles by students. It is also a pride to announce this edition of Medha has been electronically formatted and compiled by a senior student of the school, Ram Kaniyur. On behalf of School of Vedic Sciences executive committee, students and teachers, we extend our gratitude to NSW Department of Education and Communities, NSW Community Relations commission and NSW Federation of Community Language Schools for their continual support in maintaining and extending our heritage language, Sanskrit. We also acknowledge the support from various dignitaries including Mr Paul Lynch, MP Liverpool, Ms Nina Conomos, Coordinator, Community Languages Schools program, Mr Albert Vella, President Federtion of Community Language schools, NSW and Sri Bhoomananda Theertha Swamiji. We are also thankful to the Principal, Marsden Road Public School and Principal of Glenwood Public School, Glenfield for the support provided with access to the school for conducting our learning program. With sincere acknowledgement to all the custodians of community languages contributing to multicultural and multilingual Australia, we, the editorial team present to you the fifth edition of Medhā for your reading pleasure. The Editorial Team Medhā: Edition 5 - November 2014 Page 4 Narayanashrama Tapovanam Ref. No. 1516201410/874 29th October 2014 Eternal Relevance of Sanskrit in Education Harih Om Tat Sat. Education is at once a pursuit, promotion and dedication, humanity needs at all times. The qualitative wealth and merit of the citizens of any country will depend upon how well its boys and girls are taught and what cultural refinement the language and education are able to instil in the students right from the beginning. Education does not end anywhere or at any levels. Commencing from the primary, it proceeds relentlessly through the secondary, undergraduate, graduate and post graduate levels. Everywhere the art and process of education have to remain vibrant, permeating and inspiring. As is education important so is language, the vehicle through which education is imparted and imbibed. For any society to develop a language and make it wholesome, it will take inordinate time. To think of perfecting a language, so as to make it survive any length of time without change is perhaps the great ideal of linguists and language lovers. In fact, the greatness of any society consists in the inner potential and imaginativeness to evolve a language as well as literature, rich in contemporary as well as eternal relevance, so that it will be able to cater to the needs, inspiration and ideals of people at all times. Literature is the ever-living memorial of a cultured and civilized society. It is in this context that the Sydney Sanskrit School, the first Sanskrit community language school in Australia, beckons students and parents to its campus, with a promise to impart a language and education with covetable distinctions. Vedas are the most ancient Sanskrit Treasure of India, evolved and imparted during prehistoric times. Countless millennia have passed ever since. And we of the present are reading, understanding, imbibing and pursuing the content and message of Vedic and Upanishadic treatises, without even a change of syllable in the original Texts. How could a language have such intrinsic worth and merits to reign for an ineffably long time? Sanskrit linguists had developed its vocabulary, grammar and idioms so well that the successors were left only with a wonder and admiration for what they saw and heard, yearning to preserve the treasure with tenacity and resolve. Mahabharatam, the second and larger of the two epics in Sanskrit, was penned 5153 years ago, according to documented data. Bhagavadgeeta, a significant part of Mahabharatam, is a dialogue between the Knower Krishna and seeker Arjuna that transpired in the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Though it was to redress the doubts and conflicts in Arjuna’s mind to take up the ethical war against relatives, friends and elders ranged in the opposite camp, the Venginissery, PO Paralam, Thrissur, 680563, Kerala; Tel: 0487-2278363; Email: [email protected] Medhā: Edition 5 - November 2014 Page 5 Narayanashrama Tapovanam inspiring, enlightening and persuasive manner in which Krishna spoke has made the message an all-time gospel for humanity. The majesty, magnificence, spiritual splendour and grandeur Sanskrit holds scintillate in the Text, making its message eternally appealing to all human societies the world over. Bhagavadgeeta is now known the world over. It should be a matter of stunning enlightenment for anyone to know that this transpired over 5000 years. India and Indians have preserved this invaluable treasure without any change whatsoever till date. The 700 verses of the Text are still being learnt, recited and revelled in by not alone the elderly and scholarly but also by students and even children, who rejoice in reciting the chapters with relish and skilful memory. Sanskrit, as a language as well as culture, instilling characteral, behavioural and interactional refinement at every stage, is unparalleled for the wisdom and enrichment it contains and provides. Because of this distinction many countries in the West have started teaching Sanskrit in schools and other centres of learning. Many a branch of knowledge has been dealt with in melodious Sanskrit poetry, conforming to the rules of rhythm and rhetoric. To mention a few, history, economics, medicinal science, astronomy, astrology, dictionary, physics, chemistry, mathematics and the like all have been composed in Sanskrit poetry. This is a unique greatness, the language and its creations can claim, to the unreserved appreciation of all those who value and esteem language for its ceaseless contribution in enriching and empowering humanity of all times. I extend hearty appreciation and blessings to the School Management and the Teaching team. Let them be even more inspired to reinforce their commitment

But although it was new to the Mediterranean world, it was really the classical, traditional teachings of the ancient rishis of India that even today comprise Sanatana Dharma, the Eternal Dharma, that goes far beyond religion into actual realization through the practice of yoga. (See Appendix Two: The Yoga of the Nath Yogis and Jesus.) The material in this book will reveal that this statement is simple fact without exaggeration. Jesus and the Apostle Thomas taught nothing new in either Israel or India. Their religion was identical with that which Jesus studied in India, that which is found in the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita and other fundamental scriptures and spiritual writings of India. Jesus and Saint Thomas taught nothing but Sanatana Dharma. The deformed entity known today as “Christianity” is a corruption and betrayal of their actual teachings. Jesus learned his wisdom from the sages of India and so must those who would follow him. I am not the originator of this idea. In 1920 Swami (later Paramhansa) Yogananda came to America to speak at a religious conference in Boston, Massachusetts.

Brooks, Vedic Mathematics: Taking the Anxiety Out of Math .............. 8 J. Hamilton and E. Norlyk, Vedic Mathematics: “To Be Learned With Smiles” ............. 11 VEDIC MATHEMATICS The Cosmic Software For The Cosmic Computer Dr. Narinder Puri University of Roorkee Uttar Pradesh, India Dr. Michael Weinless Maharishi International University Fairfield, Iowa, USA Presented at the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Annual Conference, Chicago, IL, 1988 Introduction Vedic Mathematics offers a new holistic approach to mathematics and to mathe- matics education. Its range extends from the most concrete values of numerical compu- tation to the most abstract aspects of the dynamics of intelligence. The computational methods of Vedic Mathematics have been found to be easier to learn, faster, and more enjoyable than conventional methods. The intrinsic flexibility of the Vedic system of calculation develops the students’ creativity and clarity of mind. The system of Vedic Mathematics is derived from the Vedic tradition or knowl- edge, recently revitalized and reinterpreted by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in the form of a modern systematic science, known as Maharishi’s Vedic Science. According to Mahar- ishi, at its deepest level, Vedic Mathematics is the exploration and exposition of the self- interacting structure of pure consciousness, which is the orderly basis of all phenomena in nature. By connecting mathematics to its source in the field of pure consciousness, Vedic Mathematics has the potential to bring fulfillment to all areas of mathematics and to solve the current crisis in mathematics education.

  • Vedic Maths’ : Myths and Facts
    Vedic Maths’ : myths and facts S.G. Dani Tata Institute of Fundamental Research Homi Bhabha Road, Mumbai 400 005 What is “Vedic” Mathematics? I am referring here what has popularly come to be understood by that name, and not what it should strictly mean. Going by the propaganda reports “Vedic Maths”’ is an “amazingly compact and powerful system of calculation”, and one also hears things like “once you have learnt the 16 sutras by heart, you can solve any long problem orally”, and so on. Incredible hyperbole indeed !! Actually it is nothing of the sort. It is essentially a compilation of some tricks in simple arithmetic and algebra. The term “trick” is not used here in any pejorative sense, meaning to convey deceit of some sort. It just means a short cut, with a bit of psychological appeal to it. “Vedic” mathematics is indeed a collection of short cut procedures, applicable to only an assortment of special situations, and quite an incoherent one at that. It is thus really not a “system”, though there is a popular misconception to that effect. The so called Vedic mathematics (VM) first made its appearance in print in the book ‘Vedic Mathematics’[12], first published in 1965, authored by Sri Bharati Krishna Tirtha, who was the Shankaryacharya of the Puri Mutt from 1925 until he passed away in 1960. The book was published posthu- mously by some disciples of the Shankaracharya. The book presents some “su- tras”, claimed to be from the ancient Vedic lore, and describes some proce- dures, supposedly coming from the sutras, to deal with some specific arithmeti- cal/algebraic problems.

Save yourself and the Nation by individual and collective austerity. Do not stand helpless before the global virus. Reinforce yourself and the Nation confidently. Here is the time-tested means, infallible for the discreet and faithful. 2. Laws enforced are effective only after the crime is done. But how to prevent crime or lessen its incidence and toll, for which material efforts are powerless? Try then at least the inner, mental, spiritual power and derive redress. 3. Body is a matter energy aggregate, inert. It is animated and activated by the mind. Mind, though not a part of the body, is associated with it. It has untold power over matter, like causing physical anger and also appeasing and eliminating it. 4. Use the mind’s power to resist the virus. Mind works on thoughts. All mantras are mental formulae, to be applied discreetly and tenaciously. 5. Recite mantra, to insulate you against all destruction. 6. “We appease Tryambaka, the Supreme Lord of Destruction. Liberate us from the bondage of disease and death, like the stem getting detached from the melon when the fruit has grown to the full. Relieve us from the clutches of death, destruction, and not from immortality.“ 7. Start with 108 times the mantra japa. Chant slowly, gently and attentively. 8. Increase it by 25 counts, reaching 500 and 1000 mark in a week or so.

  • Ramanashram and Ahta Lingam in Girivalam
    Ramanashram and Ahta lingam in Girivalam Ramana Ashram At Ramana Ashram, I was welcomed by the melody of peacocks. I went in and prostrated in front of Sage Ramana's Samadhi. An inexplainable peace surrounded me. There was a hall where he lived with His photographs. I went in and found many foreigners seated so beautifully, either in Padmasana (the lotus pose) or Sukasana with their spine erect, in meditation. I, too, meditated there for a while and came out. I saw people looking skywards, with camera. I then realized that it was the peacock in a tree. But then someone signalled to me 'see here' and I was taken aback with what I saw. A beautiful peacock, spread out its wing and was posing for us. I took photos of both of them. 1 I read on the internet that on the day when Sage Ramana Maharishi left for his heavenly abode, the peacocks kept on lou-louing and stopped abruptly when he left his body. They kept a great silence after that! The darshan of the Arunachala mountain from the Ashram is Eru Pancha Mukha Darshan. It is for all those who have committed sin out of circumstances. It helps them not to get in to the same trap again. The mind will wander when you sit and do japa but if you do pradakshina that mind will remain one-pointed even though the limbs and the body are moving. It is known as sanchara samadhi. The Lingam (also, Linga, Ling, Shiva linga, Shiv ling, Sanskrit िलङ्गं , meaning "mark" or "sign") is a representation of the Hindu deity Shiva used for worship in temples.
