The denial persists despite the fact that, if true, the Indians could not have constructed the Kallanai Dam, which was built in the second century by King Karikalan of the Chola Dynasty and is one of the world’s oldest irrigation systems that is still in use.

These pairs can and have danced together – but they can also duel violently. In these three pairs, Śrī Aurobindo, the great Indian mystic of the 20th century, sees a creative tension. A tension that can be productive as well as destructive. What should sit in the driver’s seat: Ideas or Matter? Must the reason of philosophy and the energy of religion always be at odds? Can Europe and India teach each..." Tag: Visual edit

The pull of pleasure, the tug of money, the gravity of duty, the attraction of freedom – and in the center, a human being.

The culture we are born to and/or internalize creates a sort of ‘operating system’ inside our minds. By a human OS we mean a set of code (lexical and semiotic memes, normative protocols, cultural motifs and more) that determines the nature of interactions with other individuals, with groups, and among groups.

Only by knowing our true selves can we claim to be wholesome. And this was the thrust of the gurukulams of yore. This paramparā which continues to be extant is the core of sanātana dharma and of the IKS. And the place where central transmission of such a knowledge of self takes place is called a gurukulam. It is a place which requires us to suspend our cynicism and to make a cognitive shift in our way of se..." Tag: Visual edit

It is that which is continuous; which flows like a river, something which is perpetually changing and yet has always been there in its form and spirit. But how..." Tag: Visual edit
