WHAT IS GOD ? For centuries, mankind has asked this question over and over, what is God?   There are so many religions, so many names, so many different rituals, yet every religion preaches God is the one and the only one.   I will try to discuss with my limited power of knowledge and my own feelings and point of view. Concept of God ( Formless or With Form ) In Ancient Hinduism, we worshiped forces of nature in its crude natural forms, fire, water, air, etc.   There is a concept of the supreme eternal Brahma, the creator of the universe, the supreme God.   He is the creator of the Universe and other demigods.   All the forms of God has emanated from the Supreme Brahma.   Brahma is worshiped in two forms, Nirakar and Sakar. In Nirakar Brahma, we worship the God as the creator without any face or name (character) and in the form of super energy.   There is no idol or character involved in the worship. In the Sakar Brahma, we worship the charac...

VAJRA In ancient India , the Vajra, as a thunderbolt, was the chief weapon of the king of the demigods, Indra. It controlled the forces of thunder and lightning, breaking open the monsoon storm clouds, bringing the welcome rains to the parched plains of an Indian summer. According to legend, Indra's thunderbolt was fashioned from the bones of the great Rishi Dadhichi, who was decapitated by Indra in sacrifice. Dadhichi's 'indestructible bones gave Indra the most powerful of weapons. By its energy he slew innumerable of his enemy demons. Though, there is another opinion regarding the creation of Vajra weapon.   Namuchi and Vritra, the two demons, removed light and moisture from the Earth and the Earth became barren and living beings began to die.   Indra tried but failed to subdue the demons as the demons had got the boon that they can only be killed by a weapon which is neither solid nor liquid.   Indra then approached Vishnu for a solution.   Vishnu then collec...

MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM Missile defense technology is one of the most advanced technologies in the world today.   Missile Defense System is a generic term for a type of missile defense intended to shield from a small ship to an entire country against incoming missiles, such as intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBMs) or other ballistic missiles.   Interception might be by anti-ballistic missiles or directed-energy weapons such as lasers.   Interception might occur near the launch point (boost phase), during flight through space (mid-course phase), or during atmospheric descent (terminal phase).   It is a defense technology where a missile is deployed to destroy missiles and their warheads launched by enemy before they can reach their targets. The United States , United Kingdom , Russia , France , India and Israel have all developed such air defense systems. We all know that during Operation Desert Storm, MIM-104 Pat...

Ancient Indian Warfare and Nuclear Warheads We, the Indians, have emerged from a solid origin from a vast ancient civilization.   This civilization started to flourish along the bank of Indus river, Mohenjodaro and Harrapa.   This is among the few ancient civilization that flourished around the same time period, such as Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilization.   Nobody knows how they suddenly started to flourish with such marvels that are still a mystery. As Indians, we have gone through many times our holy books, Ramayana and Mahabharata that were written thousands of years ago and are still a basic part in our daily rituals.   There we come across some interesting things, which I will discuss today. For instance, if we go through Mohenjodaro and Harrapa civilization, the explorer De Camp came upon unknown charred ruins. A number of huge masses appeared fused together and hollowed at various points "like lumps of tin struck by a stream o...

This is the most crucial job in the forest, to keep it clean.  These are the  undertakers of the dead bodies, who keep the forest clean.  It is their job, though nasty.
