Memory

Indian Philosophy and Practice·HinduismIndiaLifeMusicLanguageKnowledgeFebruary 19, 20234 Min. Lesezeit

For 3,000 years, the books of the Vedas have been preserved in memory in India. The Rigveda (10,552 verses), Samaveda (1549 verses), Yajurveda (4001 verses), and Atharvaveda (5977 verses), as well as the Upanishads (approx. 1800 verses), have been passed down from generation to generation. The grammar of Sanskrit has not fundamentally changed, and the pronunciation has been meticulously conveyed through precise phonetic descriptions. Thus, these texts sound the same today as they did 3,000 years ago. They are written in the form of mantras, that is, in verse form and...

The ‚Western‘ world, based on classical antiquity, Christianity, the Enlightenment, and materialism, is contrasted with the Occidental world of the Assyrians and Persians, Islam, and the idea of a divinely guided commonwealth. This...

What to do?

Indian Philosophy and Practice·UpanishadsPerceptionKnowledgeNovember 25, 20224 Min. Lesezeit

The last time I seriously wondered what I should do was during college. I studied philosophy, and I was often asked what I wanted to do with it. What a stupid question, I always thought. It's an inner drive, almost a compulsion, that you can't resist. Any such attempt must fail, there's only thinking ahead.

I remember I've always stared into the fireplace since I was a child. Many people do that, I think. Fire is fascinating. In the Vedas, Agni is the god of fire, one of the 5 elements alongside water, air, earth, and ether. The Greeks also have these elements. I didn't understand this for a very long time and found it ‚unscientific‘. I thought of elements in terms of physics and chemistry, and there it only makes limited sense. Mythology Within the...
