Ancient Indians – Satya Samhita

Recently all my scribd docs were deleted as well as my user account… it took one day to find out that it was because I changed the privacy settings on my facebook account. Then the account was restored but not before it shook me up.

I have been working so hard to create an online data resource that is entirely designed for and dependent on wordpress, with scribd as a kind of consolidated back up.

What happens when the environment changes? My move from geocities to wordpress was actually for the better but I hadn’t done this much by that time.

My Veda guru put all her guruji’s lectures recorded on her hard disk and the disk got corrupted leading to loss of information. And she is struggling to recover it.

Information preserved in sculptures was destroyed by so many muslim invaders, stolen by colonial rulers and neglected by an overloaded  Govt of free India. And Japan’s Tsunami at the moment reminds one, once more.. that nature can claim back human achievement at any time.

Is the knowledge acquired by previous generations important? Yes.. else how do you build on it and make a civilization? Is history as important as science? Does who discovered a natural law matter as much to human society as the knowledge itself?

I feel it is.

This I want my work to be preserved as well as my name with my work. So yes, I am happy when someone reposts my work on their site increasing its chances at longevity.. and feel sad when they don’t bother to acknowledge me : today see this link for a repost without credit example. : http://shrigaurbrahmanmahasabhabikaner.blogspot.com/2010/12/parasurama.html

So please do feel free to repost any information on this site that you like, but please do say that this work, these words are a result of Satya Sarada’s efforts. Thank you. That makes me feel happy. If you don’t, you may be earning the karma of hurting my feelings.

That said.,

When this instance of the universe ends will all this matter? All the money you earn, all the fame, all the achievement? Does it have lasting value?

All that matters is this little bubble of life, is staying in the game for a decent amount of time and doing something that you consider worthwhile and fun while you have the energy to maintain this pattern of molecules that you call yourself.

Yesterday’s cells are not today’s cells, yesterday’s molecules are not today’s molecules. Yesterday’s mind is not today’s mind. What is constant internally is a feeling of “youness” from birth to death, “your identity” reinforced by other such beings that you interact with. In fact when authorities and others treat us statistics and don’t recognise our identity.. we hate them. We want to be treated like we matter.

I don’t know the name of the bees who made the honey I eat or the cow which gave the milk I drink. I don’t know the names of the workers who laid the road I walk on, those who made the bricks of my home or the threads of my clothes. They are all nameless to me.

Yet, I want people to know that it is I who “created these sentences, conceived these ideas and expressed them”, I want them to say “Satya did all this” she is so smart, so right, so good, we must remember her for ever! I want people to say, “thanks Satya, you did so much for us, for humanity”.

It is this little bit of the universe, that came together so perfectly that it could conceive and express ideas so well.

This bit of universe that is not going to be there physically. This wave that etched that little impermanent pattern on the sand, and wants other waves to be impressed by that fact.

This wave that thinks it is a rather neat little wave, and wants to be remembered like those before it, for the great things it did!
