It certainly was, and all the food... not the least addicting among
the fare was "chana jor garam" peddled in newspaper cones. Our group
packed a picnic basket contain several brass tiffin carriers loaded
with poorees, saag, aaloo-matar and the like. A great time was had by
all.

PS: I will post this post also under the subject header:

New movie - 'Defend Arindam!'

You had started a thread with that subject header in November or
December last year, and it subsequently became the working title of
my screenplay.

Wow. At least at the conceptual plane, this is taking off.

As for the story line, it should be opposite of Kill Bill.

It is like, Defend Arindam (or whoever)

The evil quotays of the earth want to hire professional assassins to
kill Arindam, as he is upsetting everything (all the mendacious
disastrous slimy constructions) with his genius.

But the assassins have their own code. An important piece of code is
that they never kill good people, and never never geniuses.

So instead of killing Arindam, they defend him and instead kill the
quotays after taking their money.

Arindam remains completely oblivious to all this violence, just goes
on his way. Sometimes the quotays want to kill him directly, but he
misses their bullets, knives, poison pills etc by chance or his
defending (female) angel/s get their way first.

So perish all Einsteinians etc. and the world becomes a better place
as a result. People make IFEs, HTNs and there is much happiness all
around.

I think, it should be a superhit!

I could furnish some lyrics.

Cheers,
Arindam Banerjee

About your "sin cleansing" in the kunds -- I too have completed the
traditional teerth yatras several times since childhood; what paap
haven't been "cleansed" shall be treated appropriately in this birth
and those in the future according to karmic law.

You are using Internet cafes -- if one's home computer is left on,
one could log on to it from a cafe and then venture out into the
online world. Some claim that this is a more secure option for
certain things.

I recall the IIT years when the government had quotas set up for
admitting otherwise unqualified students from certain Gulf countries,
the so-called Trucial States. There was this student, for instance,
who remained poor in most subjects throughout the five years, was
promoted only because of the quota system and eventually awarded a
B.Tech. I wonder about how many bridges and buildings have collapsed
because of his work or if he even lasted in an engineering job.

Death in Ghaziabad - 1

Arindam Banerjee
(All rights reserved)
Melbourne, January 1999

Death could come to you easily in Ghaziabad. I first saw death when
the bus came to a sudden jolt. With sudden rush the occupants of
the left side came to the right. I had a clear view from my window.
It was of a young man in pajamas lying curiously still on the road.
He had evidently been hit and left for dead. A small crowd had
gathered. Some stones had been put around the corpse - it was not
that of a dog, after all. Our driver was pragmatic. He did not
stop. I do not know who did the needful, and how. Something was
surely done with the body, for it was not there when I returned to
the site an hour later. What was striking about this incident was
that it made not even the slightest change in the local surroundings.
Things went on as if the accident had never happened.

No ambulances would ever rush with screeching sirens in Ghaziabad,
for there were not any. There was no sign of any authority, not any
that one could see. The traffic policeman would stand helplessly at
the crossing in front of the "Ghantaghar", or clock tower building.
There were traffic lights at the crossing, and they even worked at
times. But they could never regulate the traffic. There was a
police outpost, on the road to the station. The policemen had no
cars or telephones or guns, and it is doubtful if they even had
paper. They had only sticks and bicycles.

Anarchy, then, was the normal state in Ghaziabad. My neighbours
relished the telling of ghastly stories, and they apparently believed
what they said and heard. Probably they were all highly exaggerated.
Once the shop near the room I lived in was robbed. The little boy
who worked there came running to me in fear. From what could be made
out, there had been extensive murder and mayhem. I went to
investigate. The miscreants had by that time decamped. No one had
been hurt, but some money was taken. That was the only time the shop
was robbed, in my three years of stay in Modeltown, Ghaziabad. It
was the only noteworthy shop of its kind in the entire area.

Western ways did show themselves in Ghaziabad, most noticeably in the
District Court near my lodging. Lawyers in black coats thronged like
flies, over the ramshackle wooden furniture inside and outside the
tents around the decaying Court buildings. They did not inspire
respect upon first sight. Later on, I would come to know how
thorough and professional they were at their work. As I now see it,
they form the only chance of establishing order among the surrounding
chaos.

What was I doing in Ghaziabad? That was a question which puzzled my
friend, colleague and mentor Shordar Bigaru Singh. What was one of
my kind doing in Ghaziabad? I should be studying in the United
States, with the intention of bringing back technical knowledge to
India, as indeed a few did.

I was dying in Ghaziabad. Much later would I know exactly how and
what about me was dying there.

How was I dying? It is difficult to explain. I had no physical
disease. My job as an antenna development engineer, which often
entailed continuous 15 hour schedules and long field trips, was
difficult and demanding. But I liked my work, even though I knew it
would lead me nowhere.

I was in Ghaziabad because I wanted to understand certain things,
such as exactly why we Indians were so, so, poor and others were so
rich. Books and articles from learned people taught me nothing. I
intuited that analyses from foreign writers were wrong or shallow.
Indian writers of the kind one read in the English language merely
parroted them. My own childhood and youth had been far too golden.
I always had the best of everything, and so knew nothing at all. I
had to find out the answers for myself, and for that, I had to live
by myself among Indians of the kind not paid by the public. I knew I
could never be contented otherwise.

Ghaziabad was killing me slowly. With every passing day, I knew I
was becoming less and less of the person I was when I graduated. I
was losing my academic skills and my chances of a career abroad or
even in a lucrative private sector job in India. I should have at
least been doing an MBA! From being the apple of everyone's eye I
had become a complete non-entity.

And what was I gaining? As far as I could see, nothing. I would
walk alone on the dusty roads of Ghaziabad, seeking answers, but
answers - they eluded me. The local people would look upon me with
indifference, as if to say they had seen many such as I before. Only
money talked in Ghaziabad, and then only if you showed it by huge
high-walled houses, cars and servants. Anyone who think that Indians
care about spirituality and intellect should live in Ghaziabad.
There was no Hindu temple that I could find, nor a single book-shop
that sold anything other than textbooks. There were, on the other
hand, plenty of furniture shops and "Angrezi" liquor shops.

Death would come more quickly if I frequented the liquor shops. But
I did not care for drink, unless it was lassi, the kind you got in
just that one shop in that narrow street. When the overpowering
heat seemed to dry your very blood, that was just what was needed to
live, and continue your questioning.

Death could come even more quickly if you dared to change the
established state of affaris. Once boredom and curiosity took me to a
late night movie show. I saw a strange sight. Outside the window
for the cheapest seats, there was a queue of people cowering like so
many dumb animals, each with both hands upon the shoulders of the man
before him. Maintaining order was a person in a three-piece suit,
marching up and down with a whip in his hand. I wanted to do
something, but I did not know what to do. I had been warned by a
well-wisher never to interfere in local matters. "If you wish to
survive here, just mind your own business. When you have to deal
with these people, put on your best behaviour, be very polite.
Unused to such, they will be taken aback and that'll be your best
chance of getting what you want." I once forgot this advice, and
spoke my mind to a furniture shop-owner in Panchkuin Road, Delhi.
The man assaulted me!

Yes, I was dying. Ghaziabad was killing me in every way. My
ambitions and dreams were fading in the distance. All that could be
seen, all that could be sensed, were callousness, selfishness and
greed. The fruit sellers would sneer if you asked for just one kilo
- you would not dare ask for half! "Do kilo lay jao, ji!". The
local shopkeeper, I saw, would swipe a slice or two of a loaf of
sliced bread if he sold in halves. The merchants delighted in
shaming you into buying more expensive stuff. If you had no money
you were nothing. Your talents did not matter. Nor did your health,
youth or appearance. What did matter was clothes, for they showed
how much money you could spend. Tailoring shops abounded in
Ghaziabad.

What did people do in Ghaziabad? There were no public libraries, no
gymnasiums, no clubs. No one seemed to have hobbies of any kind.
There were no animated roadside discussions, as I had seen and taken
part in Ranchi and Calcutta. There were no signs of romance
whatsoever - I never saw any boy with any girl; for that matter,
hardly ever any married man alone in public with his wife. While
there were plenty of liquor shops, there was just one ramshackle
"public house" selling country liquor next to the fishmongers' area.
People did not play anything, nor did they seem to take any exercise.
Girls did not play music, nor sing, nor paint. The boys - especially
the well-dressed ones - seemed not to know what to do. They aimlessly
roamed around in small groups on motorcycles and scooters, showing
off the latest fashions favored by film heroes.

Waves of apathy rolled on all sides. Everything seemed so pointless,
so meaningless. Life dragged on in slow reluctant ways. If people
moved, they moved slowly. It seemed enough to live on for yet
another day. Nothing would change. Attitudes were firmly fixed. Or
so I thought, as the following Arjuna's song from Tagore's
Chitrangada would play in my head with increasing frequency -

Disquiet profound haunts me today, o how my body burns! Cruel arrows
pierce the heart, drenched am I with pain. Mirages dance before my
eyes, fires blaze in my breast. This garland of welcome is threaded
with the thread of death.

Known horizons fade before the shadow lands of dreams That vanish as
vanish the coloured palasa leaves of autumn. This journey is without
purpose; I am given to losing my way. In this strange new land I must
now die!

My parents came for a visit. And suddenly things changed. Within a
few days they managed to make friends with all the people around us.
My father with the men, and my mother with the women. The Great
Gango (of whose lordliness I wrote about some years ago) quite
instantly became like someone I had known my whole life. Chachaji
started looking genuinely more avuncular, and less like an avaricious
landlord, as my father and he exchanged notes. Other younger men
around, following his lead, became more considerate. The elderly
lady next door said unpleasant things about her daughter-in-law, who
had "captured" her doted son. She had had to dissimulate to her
relatives in Punjab, to hear them say, "Tu yea kali larki laanay
itinee dure gayi thee!" (Did you have to go so far to get this black
girl?) The daughter-in-law did not endear herself to my mother, for
she praised her husband in extravagant terms: "He is almost as tall,
and more handsome than your son." Chachiji however remained aloof,
as became any self-respecting landlady with respect to mere tenants.

Everything started to appear in a different light. All of a sudden
everyone around seemed to take an interest in me. "Why did your son
not ever talk to us?" was the question heard from all sides. "Why is
he so aloof, so reserved?" It appeared that they too wanted answers
about myself, as eagerly as I did about them. My parents apologized;
I was an only child, and so shy and never very talkative. I became
an object of sympathy.

I learnt to talk to my fellow men, instead of trying to divine their
ways by mere observation. This approach made me see things in an
entirely different light. For the first time in my life, I could
sense the mighty struggles involved in mere survival, and beyond
that, the necessity for one-upmanship, to show that one has indeed
made it, and put others in their place. Everyone wanted to live, and
live with head held high, showing off as much as possible. You
needed to buy things. Good clothes for a start, then the
refrigerator, the TV, the scooter… For all that, you needed money
and more money. And money depended upon muscle - who you knew, and -
it was widely proclaimed - how unscrupulous you could be. Nobody
thought that it was possible to lead richer lives by concentrating on
making each other happy. Quality of service was an unknown concept.


This materialism was forcefully emphasized through urgent innuendoes
by the fairer sex. It acted against the more pervasive inertia of
the males, who were quite content to laze and curse in a fatalistic
manner. Inertia was pitched against the desire for a better life.
Yet there was a deep underlying sentiment against the fate that made
things so. Why did things have to be this way? What will happen in
the future? What do we really want? Such were the questions that
seemed to naturally arise after every meeting. The answers were
never there - a great deal of discontent would ultimately focus upon
some trivial issue. Every day just passed into another.

And I started to enjoy myself, as I realized that I was not the only
one with unanswered questions. I learnt to cook, and my family today
is grateful for that. I often ate out in "dhabas" and restaurants
such as the Pahalwan which boasted the custom of none less than the
great Dara Singh. I drank glasses of lassi, ate Dasseri mangoes and
most importantly watched Hindi movies. They were the sole recreation
and culture of the people of Ghaziabad. Seeing the latest movie on
the first night of release was the most socially in-thing to do!

I had a low opinion of run-of-the-mill Hindi films, formed by seeing
bad plots, doll actresses and fool actors. Only the music and songs
were superlative, as they were accepted as a part of one's life with
joy. The first few Hindi movies I watched with disgust. Really, was
here nothing better for me to do in my life? Must I be condemned for
ever to watch such stupidity in the company of my good friends the
paanwaalas and truck drivers?

And then I saw Rekha.

That was in the movie "Muqaddar ka Sikandar", in the company of Pal-
da and the Great Gango who characteristically took us late to the
cinema hall. I was stunned, elated.

The next morning I tried to communicate my thoughts and feelings to
Sardar Bigaru Singh, holding court with his jolly friends. I had
mentally labeled them as the behn***d group, as that expression,
uttered in various interesting ways , was an integral part of every
sentence from their mouths. He sister-referenced me affectionately,
and then advanced his reason for my excitement:

"O behn***d, she is a sexy woman."

His companions looked at me peculiarly, as if to ask which planet I
had come from. I left the company of those simplistic clods, not
bothering to hide my disgust.

The sexiness of Rekha was by no means lost upon me, but that was not
the only reason for my exhilaration. At last I had seen an Indian
whose performance was far superior to any Westerner. Even Sophia
Loren did not come close. I had, thanks to the Indian-English
writers and journalists, who exalt everything Western and deride
everything Indian, been brought up to have the lowest possible
opinion of India and Indians. Those scoundrels, willing to do
anything for a little crust of attention from foreign columnists, and
over-ready to serve the interests of their Indian-hating masters,
always took great care to give as little positive publicity as
possible to genuine Indians and their efforts. To really cripple
them, they would put our best people grudgingly below second or third
rate Westerners.

Rekha shattered such bonds. She liberated me. She showed that one
did not have to grow up to be a second-rate, disdained or patronized,
pseudo-Western, perennially whining loser.

A great desire for self-improvement came upon me. I did not wish to
live in a fog any longer. I wanted to know what I was doing, at
least in my professional work, to begin with. There had to be some
better methods than those tinkering ones of my mentor Sardar Bigaru
Singh. Effective and in fact indispensable though they often were,
they were of no use in the development of complicated systems such as
phased array radar antennas.

To understand anything, one must know everything. I embarked upon a
solitary voyage of discovery. My engineering books and notes arrived
at last, and I studied them diligently. I made many trips to Nai
Sarak in Delhi, to buy university-level course books on all subjects
that interested me. I took them with me on my daily trips from
Ghaziabad to Sohna, reading as I jerked along in the crowded four
wheel drive. I read them while not clambering up and down the huge
Scientific Atlanta antenna positioner, connecting this, or adjusting
that. While returning, it was usually dark, so there was nothing
else to do except think of Rekha, and wonder if I could make it for
the late night show.

Thus things went on. Gradually, as a result of my hard work and the
grace of my dear Mother Kali, the mists cleared. I made bold and
drastic changes in the established designs, with strikingly positive
results. From first principles, I made analytical models based upon
the specifications, then run computer simulations to find the best
parameter values and also the tolerances. Project after project made
it from my drawing board to the prototype and production shops. I
worked in the hot sun on the roof, tuning the heavy corrugated horn
antennas the Bigaru way, month after month. I chased after parts in
the prototype shop, learning all the nitty-gritty details. I dealt
with the military clients, and attended field trials where jet planes
thundered at treetop height in the plains near Ambala. What an
experience! How wonderful it is to ultimately see all the hard work
bear fruit - produce the perfect radiation patterns with first the
computer design and then the prototype antennas in our 5 Km long test
site, finally going on to pass the stringent inspection tests with
flying colours! Such joy was my only reward.

There were rare times when I enjoyed elite society. After our radar
trials passed successfully, we were invited for cocktails in the Air
Force Mess in Ambala. What a magnificent place! Polished wooden
floors, huge graceful rooms with long heavy curtains, elegant
furniture of the like I had never seen before, a bar with muted
lighting and such stately atmosphere! Khansamahs in starched white
uniforms and gold braid glided about like stately goldfish, bearing
crystal glasses containing gin and whisky along with many interesting
edible tidbits. It was an environment for James Bonds, and indeed
there they were all right. I mean the pilots who had flown the
sorties, who were the most remarkable people I ever met. They did
not seem to belong to this world, those men who dated Mrityu, the
gentle but deaf and blind goddess of death, every sunrise. Their
courage, frankness, physical excellence and detachment made the rest
of us feel pretty inadequate. Their charming ladies fluttered
around in colourful organdies. The total effect was intoxicating.
After the shabbiness of my living quarters it was indeed heaven. I
felt glad to think that my work would help to bring back these heroes
safely back from enemy territory, instead of getting shot down by our
own people.

My greatest recognition came unexpectedly. I was outside the house
of an insurance agent, who was also a junior staff member of my
company. I did not like the man very much. He had the pretentious
upstart quality, so common among those of Ghaziabad, who had newly
learnt to differentiate themselves from the rest by bastard
mannerisms. He was inviting me to have tea in his home, and I was
trying to excuse myself. All of a sudden, his mask slipped off and
he humbly said that it would be an honour for him if a man like
myself would partake of his hospitality. I immediately accepted,
and did not forget to show my regard for his aged mother in our
traditional manner.

I was developing into an Indian! I delighted in gossip. I had
started to enjoy Hindi films. I could even do fairly well in the
radio quizzes! Hindi film songs soothed my soul. They were the
expression of the sad and battered soul of the masses, the only
living legacy of a great past now found pure and unscathed only in
its music and ancient literature. I even followed the latest
fashion, and once wore a tailored bi-colour zipped jacket to my work!
"Ustaad, kiska pocket maarooN? (Boss, whose pocket's to be picked?) "
queried Sardar Bigaru Singh.

Hindi film plots were never unpredictable. It is ironical that a
drama of such intensity and character as I never found on the screen
would become, for a while, a part of my life.

Sure it's still there: the Internet "remembers" everything and
collects most everything. "Write on!" is what I always say when I'm
staring at the empty page.

Thanks. I need money to fulfil my dreams, quite a bit in fact, so
will be forced to write for money from now on. Let us see what
happens. Self-publishing is the only way out for me, I really really
hope the public buys!

Yes, a bunch of us Jyotishis got together and wrote to the GOI to
print a booklet to be distributed to Jantar Mantar. It was
distributed for a years and then I don't know what happened with the
politics of it after that. As far as the history of achievements in
astrology/astronomy (both are integrated into Jyotish) is concerned,
I often post the following excerpts:

[ Here is an extract from a book on the topic "Astronomy in

[ In the working out of horoscopes (called

[ planets plus Rahu and Ketu (mythical demons, evil forces)
[ was considered. The Janmakundali was a complex mixture of
[ science and dogma. But the concept was born out of
[ astronomical observations and perception based on
[ astronomical phenomenon.

[ was most famous for his amazing knowledge of palmistry. He wrote in
[ 1949:
[
[ "As regards the people who first understood and practiced this study

[ knowledge. Long before Rome or Greece or Israel was even heard of,
[ the monuments of India point back to an age of learning beyond, and
[ still beyond.
[
[ "From the astronomical calculations that the figures in their temples
[ represent, it has been estimated that the Hindus understood the
[ precession of the equinoxes centuries before the Christian era.
[
[ "In some of the ancient cave temples, the mystic figures of the
[ [deities] silently tell that such knowledge had been possessed and
[ used in advance of all those nations afterward so celebrated for
[ their learning.
[
[ "It has been demonstrated that to make a change from one sign to
[ another in the zodiacal course of the sun must have occupied at least
[ 2,140 years, and how many centuries elapsed before such changes came
[ to be observed and noticed it is impossible even to estimate.
[
[ "The intellectual power that was necessary to make these observations
[ speaks for itself; and yet it is to such a people that we trace the
[ origin of the study under consideration. With the spread of the Hindu
[ teachings into other lands do we trace the spread of knowledge of
[ palmistry.
[
[ "The Hindu Vedas are the oldest scriptures that have been found, and
[ according to some authorities they have been the foundation of even
[ the Greek schools of learning."

Several bestselling authors now promote self-publishing by doing so
themselves. The flow of power and money in the industry is shifting
to the individual author. The consumer also benefits by having to pay
a lower price.

Your comment may suggest to some that I converted or reconverted to
Hinduism (I did not because I have always been a Hindu), unless you
are referring to the degree of my devotion to Hindu principles, which
is indeed very high but can always be higher!) But you are correct,
those money-seekers will do anything to get their hands on it. What
about you, and I ask this from the point of view of view as the
author of "Defend Arindam" (working title) -- do you consider
yourself to be a Hindu?

Jai Maharaj, Jyotishi
Om Shanti

About the terrorist Goon Squad:

"Myself, Mallu. Yourself?" (V. Bhattathiri) <KalluM...@gmail.com>
tries his best to be a bully -- telling others what and when to post,
where to post and where not to post, deliberately publishing lies
about others, stalking and abusing them with hate speech -- but fails
miserably. He is really stressed out, and like his lap dog Prem
Thomas (who currently posts as "P. Rajah" <us...@this.com>, and issues
*death threats* to people), is priming himself for conditions such as
stroke and heart disease. Others in the Goon Squad include
Dayashankar M. Joshi "DMJoshi" <jos...@gmail.com> who displays
unquestioning obedience to Goon Squad thugs, and the instigator who
posts as "Bholu" <bh...@hotmail.com>

The Goon Squad currently posts most of their abuse through eternal-
september.org and by writing someone else's name or handle in the
"From:" header -- their favorite now is "fana...@gmail.com" (note
the extra "b" and "gmail.com") to make it appear as if the posts are
from "fan...@aol.com", who has been a regular poster for many years.

Point is, in this context that you raised, if you have any latent
superior devotion to other contradictory principles or interests.

Of course. Born Hindu Bengali Brahmin, though not quite brought up to
be same until my marriage where I had a proper Bengali Brahmin
ceremony. In due course, I threw out practically all modern Hindu
thoughts, and converted by dint of personal exertion and Divine Grace
to the Hinduism prevalent at the time of Kalidasa - the time when
Hindus were all-conquering superior winners and not whining lazy
littering losers as now. My stay in Australia helped greatly in this
transformation.

I try to find how desperately the ancients tried to pass on their
ancient wisdom to us. In the form of scripture such as the Vedas, and
also through mythology and symbolism. What does the Ananta Naga
really mean? What is the significance of the lotus emanating from
Lord Vishnu's navel? I explained same to my daughters, using my new
ideas in physics. They were impressed.
So far Kangaroo Island tops the list for us. Lovely beaches, like
Vivonne.

Yes, and the tigress at Kanha National Park that sauntered a few feet

Follow the money has always been the working principle in India, and
amongst "jyotishis" too. So the bandar Down Under got something right.

Aila! Lady Kaka's roots are really hazy, and it is priceless to hear
that she has "always been a Hindu." This third-rate piece of lying
garbage has singlehandedly managed to tarnish Hinduism with (apparently
two decades of) 24/7 copy-paste denigrating other faiths, wilful
doctoring of original articles, and a complete lack of knowledge of
scripture (and Sanskrit).

Bangdu exhibits the usual spineless Hindu character of "forgiveness" of

Aila! Lady Kaka has "principles"? If this bitch had any, she'd be in
India working for Hindu causes she claims to espouse. Devotion to Uncle
Sam's greenbacks are about as high in principles Lady Kaka gets.

Hat tichya maaila! A "jyotishi" is not a money seeker? When did this
happen? Can't wait for the "Defend Arindumb" book and movie. The book is
likely to be a collection of chapters copy-pasted (very unethically)
from several sources, including the "forwarding" types.

This is absolutely priceless stuff from the bandar Down Under. Over the
last three years, your "Hinduism Kalidaasya" has been one long whinge
about people not accepting your icky "fizzicks". Save the
holier-than-thou crap for someone more gullible.

About the Jihadi Loon Squad:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A jihadi loon is someone like Jade Muckeraj.

"Jade Muckeraj" aka "The Old Cow of Hawaii" <char...@fraudsrus.com>
tries her best to pretend she is a Hindu -- cutting and pasting, and
even doctoring what others post/write about Hindus/Hinduism on the
internet, deliberately pidginizing Sanskrit and providing wrong
translations, inventing brand new books in the Mahabharat (reducing it
to Muckabharat), stalking and abusing people who disagree with her by
hijacking their posts, and then cuts and pastes about Hindu ethics and
moans self-righteously about honesty -- and succeeds spectacularly in
convincing all, except other jihadi loons, that she is not a Hindu.
She is in fact a creepy jihadi loon, who thinks she owns the newsgroup
s.c.indian, and has absolutely no problem slandering anyone. As a
Indian citizen supposedly, she meddles in US political issues, and
advocates civil war in India.

And publicity of any type is effective, evidently. A 'wood actress
who is not quite an A-lister yet was asked recently if she has a sex
tape ready to be "leaked" on the Internet once the publicity campaign
launches for the new TV show in which she's acting.

Well, I don't see myself engaged in any sex scandal, or for that
matter any sort of scandal, so what else is there? Usenet of course,
but very few seem to be interested any more in the ngs. They are on
facebook and twitter.

My contact details in Australia are:

land/fax: +61397993032
email: adda...@bigpond.com

At the moment I am in Kolkata but will be in Melbourne on the 8th of
this month. If you send me an email with IFE in the header, I will
contact you with a reply and send some preliminary documents.

I have close relatives in Singapore, who are citizens there and also
my good friends. Incidentally I will be going through Singapore day
after today from Kolkata, flying Singapore Airlines. If you have good
contacts in Singapore definitely there could be a start. In India at
the centre we have only useless grumps and corrupt scum in top places,
so India via institutionalisation is out.

Unfortunately in West Bengal while there is keen interest from the
Govt there is a shortage of cash, but if I get some financial backing
a project here (which can be done cheaply) is very much possible.

 Maybe we can help this man get his project rolling to save

Most certainly. I would very much like to give a presentation of my
ideas to the Chinese, and Singapore could well be a start. With
disenchantment relating to Einstein's bullshit ideas on physics now
sinking in, maybe the clever Chinese who are practical too, will
listen to what I have to say. They certainly have the money to build
the prototypes. Internal Force is consistent with their basic
tradition, as shown in Chinese martial films I enjoy watching.

No I am not pretending to be a Hindu; I was born and raised in a

The losers you mention I call "pseudo-Hindus" and "anti-Hindus".

True Hindus are hard to find in the general population.

Very good. Right now I am in my mother's ashram and enjoying the very

Yes, true Hindus (who do not give primary importance to temples and
idols, worship the Divine in all aspects of Nature, have supreme
regard for Vedic literature as opposed to ritual that they do not
understand just blindly follow) are probably the most insignificant
minority in India, numerically.

Thanks for this, Jai. Now I am safely back after a very exciting ten

Queensland but come next week
it will be hard work till my holiday next month...
I will need the help of all my friends and well-wishers to succeed, of
course.
With regards,

You're welcome. The USENET community has available for
its perusal all the reports that you have posted of your
trip. Of course, it is a crime to do so without also
posting relevant pictures on the web somewhere. So you're
going on another holiday next month: that's the way to
live! Another is to try to always do what you love and
actually live in the world's most visited holiday spot,
which describes my situation.

Namaskar, and Aloha from Hawaii.

You are welcome.

I just tried this as a search phrase:

"bmp to jpg conversion"

and the machine returned about 92,500,000 results.

So one can either install software on one's own computer
to perform the connversion or upload the picture to a
site where they will be converted automatically and then
downloaded to your computer. I am sure that there's
another option whereby the .bmp files can be published
for public viewing and automatically converted to jpg or
png format. They say that .png files are smaller than.jpg
ones. Somes cameras can even save pictures in a number of
different formats.

Oh, I am sure that can be done but it is a lot of work! I will have
to get some site like Picasa or whatever is available. Now I do have
a lot to do,
the gardens need looking to for instance.... it is great to be back
home, though. I spent a lovely long weekend in the rainforests of
Queensland, took
some amazing photos, had terrific experiences...

Useful raw dialogue from the heart by Arindam in

I work with a number of organizations that protect
forests and wildlife in Bharat and elsewhere, so viewing
unique or recent pictures of endangered animals is of
great interest to me. Dhanyavaad.

The problem now with the tigers is that they are endangering
themselves. The males fight and kill each other. I don't know if
there are programs to isolate them, take away the wounded or
potentially young weak male elsewhere.

The males must have heard that you were going to visit (news of a visit
of a "divine soul" does travel fast), and they were trying their best to
get away from the hot air that you were likely to transmit. Survival
instincts must have kicked in big time.

One of the major issues is the shrinking forest because
of development. Males prefer their own territories by
instinct.

Good news here is that according to locals near Kanha the Govt and
related agencies are really serious about conservation.
I enjoyed Kanha not just for the animals, but also the lovely trees.
The 400 year old sal trees are safe, thus.
Other tourists said that generally speaking the national parks are
doing well, but there is no place for complacency of course.
Plenty of deer in Kanha. Since the tigers prefer eating the sweet
meat of the deer, to the salty flesh of humans, we were safe in our
open jeeps.
Our guide was much more scared of a wild bison that was very near.
This was a rogue, and in a bad temper. But I did get some very good
shots.

Appreciate the field report. Did you hear anything about
poaching and what they are doing about the problem?

In Kanha there is no poaching of tigers at least.
On the train I travelled with a shikari. He claimed to have killed
tigers long ago.
He said that killing any wildlife was banned, and if caught there was
a jail sentence.
However he said that from time to time deer was hunted for food, and
no one was the wiser. He defended it saying there were too many deer.
I wondered about the langurs. There were so many of them, and who
predates upon them? Leopards, probably.
Poaching is a big issue in the Sundarbans. The tigers there are
hunted by poachers. Also, when the tigers go to Bangladesh Indian
offcials have no
control.
On the whole, local and train info. had it that at last wildlife was
doing well. They have a layered system for protection. Tigers have a
core area where
there is no development save official quarters. Then there is a
larger area where villages exist. The tigers may go there, kill a cow
or harm someone.
Then they get compensated handsomely, the rates are given - upto
Rs5000 for a cow, a few lakhs for a human. So far no human has been
harmed.
The local people really love the tigers. Our guide said that his
village had been relocated away from the core area. No tiger had ever
harmed a human there.
In fact, we felt no fear at all in the open jeep. The tigress could
easily have killed any of us if she wanted to. But she did not
bother, just sauntered off in
purely tigerish style, with total majesty.

Again, I really appreciate your reports. Cue up "Hatari"
and "Born Free" DVDs for tomorrow!

In 1996 I had occasion to post:

the british conservation group
"environmental investigation
agency" says the slaughter of
tigers by poachers continues in
india, unabated. v-o-a
correspondent andre de nesnera in
london reports the group accuses
the indian government of lacking
the political will to fight the
problem.

by andre de nesnera
london
October 22, 1996

the "environmental investigation agency" says statistics
on the declining tiger population worldwide show the
magnitude of the problem facing conservationists. the
group says in 1900, the worldwide tiger population was
estimated at 80-thousand. today, there are between
five-thousand and seven-thousand -- and one-third are in
india.

the "environmental investigation agency" has just
concluded an 18-month study on tiger conservation
measures in india, and the organization is strongly
critical of the government.

the report says there is widespread tiger poaching for
bones, skins, teeth, and nails -- all of them used for
traditional chinese medicines. tiger parts are in great
demand in such countries as china, japan, south korea
and taiwan. the british group says poachers in india
are killing the animals at the rate of one or two a day.

a campaigner for endangered species at the
"environmental investigation agency" craig bennett says
the indian government is turning a blind eye to the
problem.

craig bennett:
"we also have the situation where some of the most
notorious wildlife poachers in the country are being
finally caught by dedicated enforcement staff on the
ground. but then they are being released on bail the
next day and sometimes their trials never come -- and if
they do, it might take 10-years. so it translates into
a range of measures -- but altogether they create a very
serious situation that means the tiger will not
survive in india into the next century unless something
is done."

the british conservation group says the indian
government has shown a lack of political will to save
the tiger. it calls on the indian prime minister to
reconvene the indian board for wildlife -- which has not
met in eight years -- and urges new delhi to draw up an
emergency plan to tackle what the group considers to be
the imminent demise of the tiger.

mr. bennett says the international community must also
get involved.

bennett:
"the western community, the international community
should supply the money and expertise and the resources
to help india in its battle. there is a lot of
knowledge in india but this is a very large problem and
it is going to need an international effort to solve it.
but first things first. we need the political will from
the indian government."

a senior spokesman for the indian embassy in london
strongly rejected the accusations from the
"environmental investigation agency". he described the
report as ill-founded and un-informed. the spokesman
said the indian government has been involved in a large
conservation effort since the 1980's entitled "project
tiger". he said that effort has contributed to an
increase in the tiger population in his country.

The culture in the Jabalpur-Satna area is pro-tiger. I found no
English dailies in Satna. In the evening people do arati in temples.
While highly littered,
people are good and honest, I found. But some parks are now not having
any tigers any more. Like Panna, through which we passed. Don't know

Yes. Back in 2005 I published the errors involved in the analysis of
the MMI experiment. On and off, I have mentioned it. It is present
in Usenet. I am reproducing the article below. If you are interested
you can follow all the links in google groups with keywords such as
Michelson Morley Arindam Banerjee Einstein.

I hold that Usenet discussions on science are at least as valid as
held in any other fora. For anyone can take part in it. It is the
most public way to analyse any matter, since any one can take part.
There is no compulsion, no holding back save for those who have
something to hide, such as their real identities.


****


The Michelson-Morley interferometer experiment, with its famously
unexpected null results, is the sole source and also remains the core
hard undeniable scientific evidence for the theories of relativity.
One of the outstanding features about this experiment is that it is
simple in concept, and has been done with painstaking efforts by many
scientists.
In this article, I will quote exhaustively from a textbook (details
below) about the nature and philosophical background behind this
experiment and will pinpoint the great blunder that was made in the
analysis of the null results. I will show as clearly as can be, the
nature of this blunder. I hope and believe that the intelligent
reader
will understand the subtlety underlying this very fine error, and
grasp
the enormous and highly positive consequences - with the
re-invigoration of physics from the most fundamental level.

______________________________=AC_________________________
"This book is neither a treatise nor a survey. It is a textbook
which bridges the gap between classical physics and the present
frontiers of physical investigation." - extract from the Preface, by
the writers. Philadelphia, Pa., July 1959.
Chapter 5 - Relativity (excerpts)
Pg111 ->
5-1 Consider the interpretations of physical events that might be
made
by a person of high IQ born and brought up on a merry-go-round. He
would experience a force somewhat like the force of gravity. It
would
be down at the centre of rotation, and, because of the centrifugal
component, it would be directed down and out at points away from the
centre.
If our merry-go-round observer were to have the genius to devise a
whole system of mechanics, the mechanics he would devise would not be
the mechanics of Newton.
For Newton's laws to be valid precisely, we must observe events from
what is called an inertial frame of a Galilean-Newtonian co-ordinate
system. Such a system is one which has no acceleration. The whole
structure of classical physics, then, is based on the assumption that
we interpret all events as they would be interpreted by an observer
whose viewpoint is an inertial reference frame.
The genius of Newton is, in part, that although he never could step
off
the earth physically, he did step off it mentally. He interpreted
events as though he had no acceleration. Because of this shift in
his
viewpoint, he was able to write his laws of mechanics in the
particularly simple form that he did.
But Newton never really knew where he projected himself to, and this
worried him. He excluded the earth as a vantage point because the
earth not only rotates but revolves around the sun. The sun offered
possibilities, but even the sun moves and is probably accelerated
through space. The stellar constellations were named by the ancients
and the stability of their arrangement led to their being called the
"fixed" stars. Yet it would be the strangest of co-incidences if
the "fixed" stars really were fixed.
It would seem that, however, that if we locate a frame of reference
so
that it is fixed relative to the stars, this vantage point will be
sufficiently steady for Newton's laws to serve well for every
practical purpose. Such a vantage point is good enough for the
practical men who want to fly aircraft, etc. But for a philosopher or
physicist whose primary concern is the understanding of the nature of
things and whose goal is the discovery of truth, uncertainty about
the
frame of reference represented a serious flaw in the logical
structure
of classical physics.
5-2 The search for something more fixed than the stars went
something
like this. James Clerk Maxwell demonstrated that electricity and
light
are related phenomena. Starting with known properties of electricity
and magnetism, Maxwell derived equations which are identical in form
to
the equations which describe many wave phenomena. He could
demonstrate, furthermore, that the velocity of the waves he
discovered
was the same as the velocity of light. He could derive many other
properties of light, and it was soon accepted that he had put the
wave
theory of light on a firm foundation. In this theory, light is an
electromagnetic wave motion.
Every wave motion has something that "waves". Surely, it was
argued, light waves must involve the waving of something even in free
space. No one knew what it was, but it was given the name
"luminiferous ether".
Light passes through many kinds of materials. It passes through
relatively heavy materials like glass, and it passes through the
nearly
perfect vacuum that must lie between the stars and the earth. Thus
ether must permeate all of space.
However fanciful it may seem to us, physicists felt that this ether
might be just the thing to which to attach a Newtonian co-ordinate
system. It was conceived that Newton's laws would hold exactly for
an observer moving without acceleration relative to the ether.
If the ether is assumed to be at rest, then the interesting question
is: How fast are we moving through the ether? Since all speculations
about the ether stem from its properties as a medium for carrying
light, an optical experiment is indicated. It is not hard to compute
how sensitive the apparatus must be to measure the ether drift.
Assuming, for the sake of argument, that the sun has no ether drift,
the velocity of the earth through the ether must be its orbital
velocity. If the sun has an ether drift, then the drift of the earth
will be even greater than its orbital velocity at some seasons.
Knowing that the earth's orbit is about 93 million miles, we can find
the orbital velocity to be about 18.5 miles per second. By
performing
the experiment at the best season of the year, we know that we should
be able to find an ether drift of at least 18.5 mi/sec. The velocity
of light is 186,000 mi/sec. Great as our orbital velocity is, it is
only .0001 times the velocity of light; so it is evident that a very
sensitive instrument is required.
5-3 A device of sufficient sensitivity was made and used in the
United
States by Michelson and Morley in 1887. The principle of their
apparatus is brought out by the following analogy.
Suppose two equally fast swimmers undertake a race in a river between
floats anchored to the river bed.
(Arindam's note: please note the expression - "floats anchored to
the river bed" meaning that they are stuck to the ground, or the
inertial frame of reference. Also let us mutter here, with Galileo,
that the earth, it moves!)
_____________________River Bank______________________
C
Speed of river -> v


Same distance L lies between A and C, and A and D.
Speed of swimmer with respect to the water is c.
A D
______________________River Bank_______________________
Two equal courses, each having a total length 2L, are laid out from
the
starting point, float A. One course is AD, parallel to the flow of
the
river relative to the earth, and the other AC, perpendicular to it.
How will the times compare if each of the swimmers goes out and back
on
his course? Let the speed of each swimmer relative to the water be
c,
and let the water drift or velocity with respect to the earth be v.
When the swimmer on the parallel course goes downstream, his velocity
will add to that of the water, giving him a resultant velocity of (c
+v)
with respect to the earth. The time required for him to swim the
distance L from A to D is L/(c+v). On his return, he must overcome
the
water drift. His net velocity then is (c-v), and his return time is
L/(c-v). His total time is the sum of these two times. This is given
by
Time_parallel =3D L/(c+v) + L/(c-v) =3D 2Lc/(cc - vv).
The other swimmer, going perpendicular to the water drift, spends the
same time on each half of his trip, but he must head upstream if he
is
not to be carried away by the current. The component of his velocity
that carries him toward his goal is the square root of (cc - vv) with
respect to the earth. The total time for his trip also depends on
the
water drift, and is
Time perpendicular =3D 2L/(square root of (cc - vv)).
To see how these two times compare, we divide the parallel course
time,
by the perpendicular course time, to get
Time parallel/Time perpendicular =3D 1/(square root of (1 - vv/cc))
In still water v=3D0, the ratio of the times is unity, and the race is
a
tie, as we would expect. In slowly moving water, the ratio is
greater
than unity and the swimmer on the perpendicular course wins; or put
differently, if the swimmers are stroking in phase when they leave
float A, they will be out of phase when they return to it. If the
velocity of the river increases to nearly that of the swimmer, then
the
ratio tends towards infinity. If the river velocity exceeds the
swimmer velocity, the entire analysis breaks down. The ratio becomes
imaginary and both swimmers are swept off the course by the current.
The point is that, by observing the race, the velocity of the water
relative to the system of anchored floats can be measured.
The optical equivalent of the above situation is to have a race
between
two light rays over identical courses, one parallel and one
perpendicular to the ether drift. The instrument used, is called a
Michelson interferometer, is shown schematically below.

Light entry


_________A //_______________D


____observer (eye, telescope)


Light enters the apparatus from the source at the left. At A it
strikes a glass mirror (angled at 45 deg) which has a half-silvered
surface. Half the light is reflected up toward B and C, while the
other half refracts at both surfaces of A and emerges parallel to the
original beam and goes on to D. Both C and D are full-silvered,
front-surface mirrors which turn their beams back towards A. The
beam
from C is partly reflected at A, but part of that beam refracts
through
A and goes to the observer. The beam from D partially refracts
through
A and is lost, but part of the beam is also reflected toward the
observer. The plate of glass at B has the same thickness and
inclination as that at A, so that the two light paths from source to
observer pass through the same number of glass thicknesses. If the
light from the slit did not diverge and remained very narrow in going
through the apparatus, the observer would see a line of light. The
brightness of this line would depend on the difference in the optical
length* of the two light paths. (*Footnote: Two paths have the same
optical length if light traverses both in the same time.
The optical lengths of the interferometer paths can be changed by
changing their physical length, by changing the index of refraction
of
the region through which the light passes, or, if the swimming
analogy
applies, by moving the apparatus relative to the light-carrying
medium.) If these (optical lengths) differed by any whole number of
wavelengths of the light (including zero) the line would be bright.
If
the path differed by an odd number of half-wavelengths, then the line
would be dark. Between these extremes every brightness gradation
would
be observed. In practice, light does diverge in the apparatus, and
there are a great many slightly different paths being traversed
simultaneously. Consequently the observer does not see but a
multiplicity of lines. The loci of points where the paths differ by
whole wavelengths are bright, and where the paths differ by an odd
number of half-wavelengths there is darkness. Thus, as one path
length
is varied, the observer sees fringes, like the teeth of a comb, move
across the field, rather than a single line becoming lighter and
darker. It is fortunate that the optical system works as it does,
since it is easier for the eye to detect differences in position than
differences in intensity.
The precision of this device is remarkable. If yellow light from
Sodium
is used, the wavelength is 5.893*10**-7 m. Moving the mirror C away
from A one-half this distance will increase one path length by a
whole
wavelength and cause the pattern to move an amount equal to the
separation of two adjacent dark lines. If we can estimate to
hundredths of fringes, then the smallest detectable motion is only
2.9*10**-9m.
The similarity between the Michelson interferometer and the swimming
race should be evident. Light corresponds to the swimmers and has
the
free-space velocity, c, with respect to the ether medium. The ether
drift corresponds to the water current drift and has the velocity v
with respect to the earth. Just as we could learn about the river
flow
by seeing the outcome of the swimmers' race, so we wish to measure
the ether drift by conducting a "light race" over equal paths
parallel and perpendicular to the ether drift.
Suppose that instead of taking the ratio of the times for the two
paths
of the river race we now take their difference; then
t =3D time difference =3D 2Lc/(cc-vv) - 2L/square root of(cc-vv) =3D
Lvv/ccc after using the first two terms of the binomial expansion, to
a
good approximation if v<<c.
In the interferometer, the time difference should appear as a fringe
shift from the position the fringes would have if there were NO ether
drift. The distance light moves in a time t is d=3Dct and if this
distance represents n waves of wavelength W, then d=3DnW. Therefore
the
fringe shift would be n=3DLvv/(Wcc)
Thus if the light race is carried out with speed of light c and
wavelength W in an interferometer whose arms are of length L, one of
which is parallel to the ether drift of velocity v, then the equation
n=3DLvv/(Wcc) gives the number of fringes that should be displaced
because of the motion of the earthe through the ether compared with
their positions if the earth were AT REST in the ether.
5-4 The Michelson-Morley Experiment. The apparatus used was large
and
had its effective arm length increased to about 10 m by using
additional mirrors to fold up the path. The entire apparatus was
floated on mercury so that it could be rotated at constant speed
without introducing strains that would deform the apparatus.
ROTATION
WAS NECESSARY in order to make the fringes shift, and by rotating
through 90deg, first one arm and then the other could be made
parallel
to the drift, thereby doubling the fringe displacement given in the
earlier equation. We can now estimate whether this instrument should
be sensitive enough to detect the ether drift. Recall that at some
time of the year the ether drift v was expected to be at least the
orbital velocity of the earth, which is about .0001c. Thus we expect
vv/cc to be at least 10**-8. Using light of wavelength 5*10**-7 m,
the
computed shift is n=3D0.4 fringe. Michelson and Morley estimated that
they could detect a shift of 0.01 fringe. Sensitivity to spare!
Measurements were made over an extended period of time at all seasons
of the year, but no significant fringe shift was observed. Thinking
that the earth might drag a little either along with it just as a
boat
carries a thin layer of water when it glides, Michelson and Morley
took
the entire apparatus to a mountain laboratory in search of a site
which
would project into the drifting ether. Again a diligent search
failed
to measure an ether drift. The experiment "failed".
Few experimental failures have been more stimulating than this. The
negative result of the Michelson-Morley experiment presented a
challenge to explain its failure. Fitzgerald and Lorentz presented
an
ad hoc explanation. They pointed out that there might be an
interaction between the ether and objects moving relative to it, such
that the object became shorter in all its dimensions parallel to the
relative velocity. Recall that in the flowing water analogy the
ratio
of the times of the swimmers was
1/square-root of (1-vv/cc).
If the route parallel to the flow had been shorter by this factor,
then
the ratio of the times would have been one and the race would have
been
a tie. A similar shortening of the parallel interferometer arm would
account for the tie race Michelson and Morley always observed. The
shortening could never be measured because any rule used to measure
it
would also be moving relative to the ether and would shorten also.
Whether you accept the Fitzgerald-Lorentz contraction hypothesis or
not, the Michelson-Morley experiment indicates that all observers who
measure the velocity of light will get the same result regardless of
their own velocity through space.
5-5 The constant velocity of light. Michelson and Morley found that
the speed of the earth through space made no difference in the speed
of
light relative to them. The inference is clear: either that the
earth
moves in some way through ether space more slowly than it moves about
the sun, or that ALL OBSERVERS MUST FIND THAT THEIR MOTION THROUGH
SPACE MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IN THE SPEED OF LIGHT RELATIVE TO THEM.
The above inference was clear, at least to Einstein, who took the
second alternative and made it a cornerstone of his special theory of
relativity.
Recall that the Michelson-Morley experiment was carried out to
measure
the speed of the earth relative to the ether in order to establish a
frame of reference relative to which Newton's laws would hold. The
failure of that experiment meant that the search for the fixed
reference system must be made by another technique or abandoned
altogether. Einstein explored the alternative of abandonment. He
asked himself where he would stand (both literally and figuratively)
if
there were no "Newtonian" frame of reference. In this case there
could be no absolute velocities, for every velocity would have to be
measured relative to an origin that might and probably would be
moving.
Since there can be no preferred frame of reference, any frame must
be
as good as any other. To be universal, the laws of physics must be
the
same for all observers regardless of any motion they may have.
Contrary to the first paragraphs of this chapter, one's viewpoint
MUST MAKE NO DIFFERENCE in one's interpretation of events observed.
If he is to be correct, the man born and brought up on a merry-go-
round
must deduce the same laws of physics as anyone else.

Before I tackle the most fundamental issues relating to the
Michelson-Morley interferometer experiment - and yet again expose the
bungle there, this time as clearly as possible - let me first, with
sadness, reflect upon the horrendous consequences of this most
pernicious theory of relativity.
The deepest theories of physics are by no means complete in
themselves,
with some relevance to engineering; they have an intimate connection
with individual and social life, by providing the practical basis for
individual and group thought structures. By outing the need for any
absolute frame of reference, Einstein's relativity implicitly gave
the license to all forms of individual and social thinking as equally
valid. Thus, the thinking of the child molester or serial killer is
as
valid - from the extension of Einstein's relativity to real life - as
the thinking of the law enforcer or saint. There is no basis for
differentiation between virtue and vice, between appearance and
reality. All are equally valid in the same relativist currency.
What
is truth, or what is lie, becomes merely a matter of opinion
announced
and imposed by the loudest and the strongest of the time.
Thus I see the stupidities, indecencies, and the extraordinary
bloody-mindedness of the 20th century (a century of world wars, mass
murders, extreme human inequalities; now leading to another dominated
by selfishness, fear and greed) as an indirect yet inescapable
consequence of Einstein's theories, to some extent. Men can turn
into self-important brats more easily, as their subconscious can now
find good excuse, from the supposedly undeniable basics of physics,
to
disregard absolute checks upon behaviour. Einstein himself showed
this, when he felt no constraints about writing a letter to the
President of the USA urging the development of the atomic bomb;
knowing
fully well that its development would cause immense evil.
For in a relativistic mental set-up, there can be no high and defined
end to aspire unto; there can be no striving for the realization of
absolute truths as fixed goals. There is, thus, only the scope of
degeneration of whatever remaining values that were handed down by
the
non-relativists of earlier generations. This is painfully evident
from
the moral atrophy and social degeneration in modern societies; as
also
from those failed communist regimes where the whims of dictators
became
the highest values for all.
______________________________=AC_______________________
It is evident from the above (extracts from the paras 5.1 to 5.5 of
the
textbook "Physics of the atom) that the entire basis of Einstein's
theory of relativity depends upon the null result of the Michelson
-Morley interferometer experiment. This single fact is of vital
importance. Equally important is that analogy given earlier,
relating
to the swimmer; swimming parallel to, and perpendicular to, the
flowing
river. For based upon this analogy, and this analogy alone, was the
logic and also the mathematics for the analysis of the Michelson-
Morley
interferometer experiment developed.
Let us see how far this analogy relates to the dynamics of light on
this our moving earth. The diagram is redrawn below:


_____________________River Bank______________________
C
Speed of river -> v


Same distance L lies between A and C, and between A and D.
Speed of swimmer with respect to the water is c.


River Bank ____ A_____________________D


We must note here, once again, that in this analogy A, C and D are
fixed floats on the river bed. So, while the swimmer himself is
affected by the flow of water, which gives him a higher or lower
speed
depending upon his direction, the floats are not affected at all.
They
are stuck to the river bed, and thus, have the same fixedness as the
river bank.
If this analogy (with respect to the motion of earth in ether) is
correct, then the subsequent mathematics (that gives us the famous
Lorentz transformation) is correct. But is this analogy correct?
For the analogy to hold, the river is the Earth moving with speed v
and
the river bank is the ether or absolute frame of reference. Any
object
floating on the river, then, has to have the same speed of the river.
When an object is stuck to the river bed (not allowed to drift) it is
implicitly given a velocity of -v, so that its net velocity with
respect to the river bank frame of reference is v-v=3D0.
This implicit, totally arbitrary giving of a negative velocity to the
float, equal to the velocity of the river flow, making it thus fixed
with respect to the river bank, was completely missed by all the
physicists, past and present. However, it is an absolute and
undeniable fact that all the stationary objects on Earth have the
same
velocity v around the Sun, since the Earth is moving with that
tangential speed around the Sun, according to Galileo and all later
non-Aristotelian astronomers. There is no way it is possible to give
any object on earth a negative velocity through some external ether
hook-up process! All objects on Earth move at the same speed v. So
we
do not see objects from Earth being left behind, as it were, as we
orbit the Sun! There is no way we can go to and from goal posts
fixed
in the ether reference! Nor can light travel to and from goal posts
fixed in the ether reference!
However, by fixing the floats on the river bed (which is the same
reference as the river bank) all the physicists have implicitly
assumed
all the above. They have kept the floats fixed in the ether
reference,
while implicitly holding they are in the Earthly reference. This
implies that the Earth is not moving at all! For if the Earth is
moving, there could be no question of keeping the floats fixed to the
river bed, for any valid analogy. They would have to drift with the
velocity v with respect to the river bank.
So the terrible mistake in this analogy was to keep the floats fixed
to
the river bed/ether, as opposed to letting it drift with the flow.
The
importance of this point simply cannot be overstated. When extended
to
the Michelson-Morley experimental set-up, this means - absolutely! -
that all the mirrors stay fixed in etheric space while the earth
moves
away from them with velocity v! Ridiculous! But this is exactly
what
must happen when we extend the analogy of the swimmers, with the
floats
drifting but fixed to the river bed, to the apparatus in the so-vital
Michelson-Morley interferometry experiment.
Bodies, and light, can, have to, and do travel to and from "goal
posts" fixed in the moving Earthly reference! There is simply no way
in which the mirrors used in the Michelson-Morley experiment can be
assumed to remain fixed in etheric space, while the Earth moves away
from the set-up! If we admit this, then we must allow that the
swimming analogy was flawed. The correct analogy would be to cut the
floats loose, and let them drift with the velocity v.
Now let us see the consequences of this change.
_____________________River Bank______________________
C C'


Speed of river -> v
Same distance L lies between A and C, and between A and D.
Speed of swimmer with respect to the water is c.


A A' D D'
______________________River Bank_______________________
The figure above shows the change of position of the float with time.
As earlier there are two equal lengths L, marked out by the
perpendicular course AC and the parallel course AD. (L=3DAC=3DAD). But
now the floats are *not* fixed to the river bed, so they drift with
velocity v. After time t, which is L/c, they move to the points A',
C' and D'.
t=3DL/c is the time the swimmer would have swum the lengths L in the
absence of flow, that is, with v=3D0.
So AA', DD' and CC' are all of length vt or vL/c.
Let us take the swimmer taking the route AD, parallel to the river
bank. He starts from A, towards D. He has the speed (c+v) as he is
swimming with the flow. Since the target float D is moving, the
swimmer now has to travel a further distance DD' to catch up. So, he
has actually swum the distance AD' instead of the earlier AD. AD'
=3D AD+DD'.
So he has swum the length L+vL/c, with the speed c+v. The time it
would take him to do that will be (L+vL/c)/(c+v).
Now (L+vL/c)/(c+v) =3D L(1+v/c)/(c+v) =3DL(1+v/c)/(c(1+v/c)) =3D L/c =3D t.
Which means, no matter what the speed of the river, the swimmer would
reach his goal float in the same time, provided the float was *not*
tethered, freely drifting instead.
Now let us consider the route AC, that is the one perpendicular to
the
river bank. The swimmer swims with velocity c in the perpendicular
direction, but is pushed sideways as a result of the flow. He has an
additional component of velocity thus, which pushes him sideways to
the
float which also has moved by the distance CC' in the time t. The
magnitude of the velocity of the swimmer, on his way to C' has to be
square root of (cc+vv).
The distance he covers is square root of (L*L + vt*vt) or square root
of (L*L + v*v*L*L/(c*c)) or (L/c)*square root of (cc+vv). So the
time
taken to cover this distance will be distance/speed or L/c*square
root
of (cc+vv)/square root of (cc+vv) which is L/c which again is t.
So no matter whether the swimmer is swimming with the current or
perpendicular to the current - if the floats are drifting, he will
always cover the distances involved in exactly the same time as if
there was no flow in the water.
For the sake of completion, we now consider the return journeys in
both
the parallel and perpendicular directions.
_____________________River Bank______________________
C C' C''
Speed of river -> v


Same distance L lies between A and C, and between A and D.
Speed of swimmer with respect to the water is c.


A A' A'' D D' D''
______________________River Bank_______________________


Over the time 2t, the floats will have moved the distances AA'',
DD'' and CC''. The swimmer on the parallel path, having
reached the float at D, turns back towards the float and will meet it
at the point A''. The distance he now covers is D'A" which is
A'D'-A'A" or L-vt or L-vL/c or L(1-v/c). The speed of the
swimmer is (c-v) as he is going against the flow. So the time taken
by
the swimmer to reach the float on the return journey is L(1-v/c)/(c-
v)
or L(1-v/c)/(c(1-v/c)) =3D L/c =3D t.
In the perpendicular path, the swimmer covers the distance C'A''.
Using the earlier analysis, we can once again find that the time it
would take him to cover this distance would be t. (His speed would
be
the same as that going from A to C'; and the distance C'A'' is
also the same as AC'.)
We thus see that no matter what angle the direction of travel, the
time
for travel for a source between two points in a medium which has no
matter what velocity with respect to some fixed reference, is always
the same. This goes totally against all modern physics, which is
relativistic, and based upon the Lorentz transformation dealt with
earlier.
We now see what really happened in the Michelson-Morley
interferometer
experiment. The diagram is given again below, with some changes
following our earlier discussion.


C__C'
____ B


Light entry A A' A''
___________ // |D D'


______ observer (telescope, film)


Light going through A will be reflected by the mirror not at position
D
but at a further distance, at D'. The light will thus travel the
path AD' with the speed (c+v) which is the path AD+DD'; DD' being
the extra distance it will have to move, because the Earth is moving,
and the mirror along with everything else is fixed on the Earth.
Since
the Earth is moving, the mirror D moves the extra distance DD' by the
time the light starting from A reaches it. Since the Earth is
moving,
the partially silvered mirror at A moves the distance AA' when the
light originating from A reaches D'. On the return path, the light
will travel backwards from D', towards the partially silvered mirror,
with the speed (c-v) and will meet the partially silvered mirror at
A''. The partially silvered mirror will move the further distance
A'A" by the time it takes the returning beam of light to meet it.
Thus the formulation is exactly the same as it was in our case for
the
swimmer doing the parallel course. Both going and coming times will
be
exactly the same, that is t=3DL/c. Totally independent of the velocity
of the source of light!
In the perpendicular direction, the speed will be square root of
(cc+vv). Because of its initial speed v, the light will have to move
in on the moving mirror initially at C at an angle and with a higher
magnitude of velocity - just as any stone thrown out parallel to and
from a moving train, with respect to the ground. It will reach it at
the position C'. This light will also have to travel the extra
distance (square root of (L*L + v*v*L*L/(c*c)) - L). As we have
seen, the time to cover this will be L/c=3Dt. Again, this time is
totally independent of the velocity of the source of the light.


>From the above, it is clear that the return times are exactly the same


no matter what the direction of the light source. Thus, the rotation
of the whole apparatus - as was done - should not lead to any
change in results at all, relating to the interferometer pattern.
The
null result is entirely to be expected. A wrong analogy had led to a
wrong expectation. But with the correct analogy, the right results
(the null results) were obtained.
The consequences are drastic. The existence of ether as the medium
of
propagation of all electromagnetic waves (including light waves) is
upheld. It had been wrongly demolished. We also find that the speed
of light does change with the speed of the light emitting source. If
the speed of the light source is v, with respect to ether, then the
speed of light with respect to ether, when directed in the direction
of
v, is c+v. The null results of the Michelson-Morley interferometer
experiment confirm both of the above. The speed of light cannot be
constant, irrespective of the speed of the source.
To confirm this, let us now do the above analysis again. This time,
following Einstein's Postulate (given below, and quoted from the text
book), we take c to be always c and never anything more or less.
Thus
on the parallel path, the time taken to cover the distance AD' will
be (L+vL/c)/c and D'A" will take (L-vL/c)/c which is 2L/c or 2t.
However, in the perpendicular path, the times will be square root of
(L*L + v*v*L*L/(c*c))/c. That is, t*square root of (1+vv/cc) for the
going path and the same for the return path, giving 2*t*square root
of
(1 + vv/cc). This is different from the parallel path, which is 2t.
So, if the speed c of light is always constant, and independent of
the
speed of the light-emitting source, as per the current thinking, then
the Michelson-Morley interferometer experiment would have shown the
fringes, with our corrected analysis! How ironic!
All the Einsteinian constructions resulting from the Michelson-Morley
interferometer experiments are thus reduced to glaring nonsense. For
Einstein's first postulate, the basis behind all his theories of
relativity, namely,
ALL OBSERVERS MUST FIND THE SAME VALUE OF THE FREE-SPACE VELOCITY OF
LIGHT REGARDLESS OF ANY MOTION THEY MAY HAVE
as simply wrong. Wrong. Proved wrong, logically and mathematically,
using the results of painstakingly done experiments.
To make my point, further, with mathematics, for the general case of
light proceeding at any angle (and not just the two angles, zero
degrees and ninety degrees) let us consider the light source going at
an angle (theta) with respect to the parallel path. We use the same
notations (L,v,t,c) as used earlier.
Then, the velocity of light will be in that direction:
Square root of ((c*cos(theta)+v)^2 + (c*sin(theta)^2), by breaking up
the speed c along two the x-y components, and adding the flow speed v
to the parallel component. Note: the ^2 means squaring the bracketed
expression ahead of it. After expansion, the above expression
becomes
square root of (c*c + v*v + 2v*c*cos(theta)).
Within time t, the float/mirror will have moved the distance vt =3D vL/
c
along the parallel path. The distance the swimmer/light will have to
move is thus:
Square root of ((L*cos(theta)+v*L/c)^2 + (L*sin(theta)^2). Which
after
expansion becomes (L/c)*square root of (c*c + v*v +2v*c*cos(theta)).
Dividing the distance traveled by the speed of travel, we get the
time
as L/c for the general case of light proceeding at any angle from the
source as being t=3DL/c, completely independent of the velocity of v.
So what is really happening? What are the so-called relativistic
effects of Einstein, really? Really, what is happening (and this is
a
completely original thought, given right now) is that between any two
points on a body like Earth moving with a speed higher than zero with
respect to a fixed frame of reference; the actual distance traveled
by
a ray of light, from one point to the other, is usually different
from
the actual measured distance. So, if we mark out two points on
Earth,
and measure the distance between them carefully, then, the ray of
light
will always move a distance more or less than the marked distance,
except for just one particular angle. This angle can be found easily
from the above formula for the actual length traveled, thus by
putting
the expression
v*v + 2v*c*cos(theta) =3D 0;
or theta =3D inverse of cos(-v/(2*c)).

Yes, along with quantum theory of light emission (do away with the
photon concept, for it is waves and only waves) plus the concept of
entropy as the law of conservation of energy becomes a special case
with my yet to be proven through experiment e=3D0.5mVVN(N-k). It can
be
easily proven by blowing up the bows of a small boat with an rail
machine gun. If the boat accelerates with that, then the equation is
proven if it is also agreed that there is no reaction from the firing
of a rail gun.

A news item I posted more than a decade ago:

Physics looks for new Einstein as nature rewrites laws of
universe

By Jonathan Leake, Science Editor
The Times, UK
Sunday, September 9, 2001

A group of astronomers and cosmologists has warned that
the laws thought to govern the universe, including Albert
Einstein's theory of relativity, must be rewritten.

The group, which includes Professor Stephen Hawking and
Sir Martin Rees, the astronomer royal, say such laws may
only work for our universe but not in others that are now
also thought to exist.

"It is becoming increasingly likely that the rules we had
thought were fundamental through time and space are
actually just bylaws for our bit of it," said Rees, whose
new book, Our Cosmic Habitat, is published next month.
"Creation is emerging as even stranger than we thought."

Among the ideas facing revision is Einstein's belief that
the speed of light must always be the same - 186,000
miles a second in a vacuum. There is growing evidence
that light moved much faster during the early stages of
our universe.

Rees, Hawking and others are so concerned at the impact
of such ideas that they recently organised a private
conference in Cambridge for more than 30 leading
cosmologists.

Cosmology - the study of the origins and future of our
universe - became popular in the early 20th century for
physicists who wanted to think the unthinkable about
creation.

Einstein's theory of relativity, which describes how
gravity controls the behaviour of our universe, was one
of cosmology's greatest triumphs. But Einstein said there
was an even deeper issue, which he described as whether
God had any choice. In other words, could the laws that
governed the way our universe formed after the big bang
have worked any differently? He concluded that they could
not.

In the past 40 years, however, the increasing power of
astronomical instruments has turned cosmology from a
theoretical science into a practical one and forced
scientists to re-examine Einstein's conclusions. Among
the most striking claims is that our universe only exists
because of a fine balance between several crucial
factors.

One is the rate at which nuclear fusion releases energy
in stars such as the sun by squashing hydrogen atoms into
helium and then other elements. Astronomers have found
that exactly 0.7% of the mass of the hydrogen is
converted into starlight and that if this figure had been
just a fraction different then carbon and other elements
essential to life could never have formed.

Another puzzle is the so-called "smoothness" of our
universe, by which astronomers mean the distribution of
matter and radiation. In theory, the big bang could have
produced a universe where all the matter clumped together
into a few black holes, or another in which it was spread
out evenly, forming nothing but a thin vapour. "It could
be that the laws that govern our universe are
unchangeable but it is a remarkable coincidence that
these laws are also exactly what is needed to produce
life," said Rees. "It seems too good to be true."

What he, Hawking and others such as Neil Turok, professor
of maths and physics at Cambridge, are now looking at is
the idea that our universe is just one of an infinite
number of universes, with different laws of nature
operating in each.

Some universes would have all their matter clumped
together into a few huge black holes while others would
be nothing more than a thin uniform freezing gas.

However, Hawking and his colleagues increasingly disagree
over how this "multiverse" could work. At the conference
Hawking dismissed the idea of a series of big bangs on
the grounds that it extended into the infinite past and
so could never have a beginning.

Already done that, in my book I wrote a few years ago, "The Principles
of Motion".
Actually I find that all renowned physicists being einsteinians, are
thoroughly dishonest.
Had they been honest, they would have acknowledged the terrific bungle
in the analysis of the results of the MMI experiment, which clearly
shows c(V)=c+V and brings back the aether concept as a medium for
electromagnetic waves, thus also outing the quantum theory.
I have published my work on that in the public domain years ago, back
in 2005. They have also ignored my derivation of the missing formula
in dynamics (which is as fundamental as f=ma, v=u+at, s=ut+0.5att),
namely 0.5mVVN(N-k).
One cannot work with the dishonest and abusive cowards, of course.
So further work related to material realisations of my formula
e=0.5mVVN(N-k)
has to be stalled until I find more honesty and courage in the physics
community.
Accepting my formula means making even more changes to classical
physics. Concepts like entropy will become useless, and the law of
conservation
of energy will cease to be general.
With the universe becoming linear and free from einsteinian nonsense,
space flights to the stars will become possible as written in my 2000
AD book,
"To the Stars!". The design work presented there in the book, is most
likely to be valid.
Euroecentric racists and bigots will try to obstruct now as they did
in the past, with the willing help of their brown-nosing reverse-
racist cttc quotays.
What will happen, let us see!

Whole pile of crap from the newsgroups two "fraudays" deleted.

Kakadevi copy-pastes an article she copy-pasted a decade ago. Poor
fucking dimwit, did not understand the import of the article then, and
does not understand it today either. The astrobunkum bidness makes
Kakadevi consider herself to be some sort of authority (albeit the
copy-paste kind) on cosmology (very different from astrobunkum,
third-rate fraud).

Then Arindumb trots out his usual idiotic magic formula, which Col.
Sanders knew a long time ago and used successfully to fry chickens.
Apparently people who ate them fried chickens developed a whole lot of
internal phorce.

Could you please translate this "chimpspeak" into Sanskrit, please? From
Sanskrit Kalidasasya (yeah, per Lady Kaka, the resident Skt. pandita, it
is okay to mix "angrezi" and "deva bhasha") to Rumpelstiltskin. Sheesh!

Velocity addition in action, thus, adding up to the oscillations
corresponding to the particular

biblical times. The whole of control system has to do with finding the
poles and zeroes of any complex
system, and what to do to get them out of the practised dynamic
ranges. What works in the material plane, may well work in the
mental. Such is the hope.

When quotays are too dull, they just won't understand - nothing can

Valid points, all! Sorry but the basic story and plot are
etched in stone in view of the green lights negotiated
and won. Only minor rewrites are now possible for the
project as accepted by the powers that exist beyond the

A scientist uses atomic decay detectors to build an
insane quantity of random word generators, then speaks a
question out loud. An insane quantity of software filters
finds the generators which randomly give the most
relevant answers. Bad generators are weeded out as
“unlucky” and replaced. This goes on at computer speeds
as long as it takes until there is one random generator
that answers reliably 99.9% percent of the time. Since
the spoken questions have no effect on random words
pulled from atomic decay, the scientist announces the
generator is indistinguishable from a sentient being,

One theory is that we used to hear gods when the two
separated halves of our brain spoke to each other. As the
halves joined, we became more integrated beings, and we
didn’t hear the gods. Studies show musicians have highly
developed connections between the two halves of their
brains. An ancient musician realizes that she is singing
away the gods, and yet the music still feels like she is
touching magic.

How do we have insights, and where does inspiration come

In order to isolate the brain activity that defined the
insight process, Beeman needed to compare moments of
insight to answers that arrived by conscious analysis,
that is, by people methodically testing ideas one at a
time. In conscious analysis, people have a sense of their
progress and can accurately explain their thought
processes. The problem is solved through diligence and
hard work; when the answer arrives, there is nothing
sudden about it.

Excerpts:

Every creative journey begins with a problem. It starts
with a feeling of frustration, the dull ache of not being
able to find the answer. When we tell one another stories
about creativity, we tend to leave out this phase of the
creative process. We neglect to mention those days when
we wanted to quit, when we believed that our problems
were impossible to solve. Instead, we skip straight to
the breakthroughs. The danger of telling this narrative
is that the feeling of frustration – the act of being
stumped – is an essential part of the creative process.
Before we can find the answer – before we probably even
know the question – we must be immersed in
disappointment, convinced that a solution is beyond our
reach. It's often only at this point, after we've stopped
searching for the answer, that the answer arrives. All of
a sudden, the answer to the problem that seemed so
daunting becomes incredibly obvious.

This is the clichéd moment of insight that people know so
well from stories of Archimedes in the bathtub and Isaac
Newton under the apple tree. When people think about
creative breakthroughs, they tend to imagine them as
incandescent flashes, like a light bulb going on inside
the brain.

The Fermi paradox asks: if aliens have existed since the
universe began where are they now? There was an early
alien species that sent probes to possibly inhabitable
worlds which lodge themselves under the crust of the
planet, self-replicate, and sleep. If the surface
develops intelligent life, when they begin to generate a
certain quantity of radio waves the sleepers awaken and
take over the surface, where they send out more probes.

PUSHPAK VIMAAN - BHARAT'S ANCIENT SPACECRAFT

Ancient Indian Spacecraft
And Aircraft Technology

By The Hindu Staff Reporter
1-6-5

Tirupati - 'India had a treasure trove of hitech warfare
technology that even the 'mighty West' does not possess.
The Brahmastra and Vimaan used in the pre-Mahabharat
period are nothing but the earlier versions of today's
nuclear weapons and spacecraft.'

It is this feeling that one would get after listening to
a lecture on 'High Technology in Ancient Sanskrit
Literature' by Mr. C. S. R. Prabhu, senior scientist,
NIC, Hyderabad, on Thursday as part of the three- day
Indo-Nepal Sanskrit Conference, currently underway at the
Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeetha here.

Mr. Prabhu, quoting extensively from ancient texts,
stressed that the pre-Mahabharat period was an age of
high technology, which was ignored in the Medieval period
due to reasons not known.

He quoted from the texts of a great scholar, Subbaraya
Sastry, who, in a state of yogic trance, is said to have
orally dictated the spacecraft technology in a period
somewhere between 1875 and 1919, which was recorded by
his disciples. The text, a copy of which is still in
Nepal's Royal Library, contained technical details on
assembling, fabricating and erecting a spacecraft, the
metals, semi-conductors, advanced alloys used and other
minute aeronautical information. Though quite difficult
to be believed on the face of it, the fact that this
technology did not exist anywhere in the world - not even
in America and Europe - in the mentioned period, makes it
hard for one to disbelieve.

Artwork by James Neff

The technical information given in Sastry's texts was as
minute, precise and clear, as if it were a 'Make your own
spacecraft' or a 'Spacecraft technology in 30 days'
except for the Sanskrit language used, which was very
much archaic and obsolete, Mr. Prabhu said. On a tip on
making an alloy, the text said 'Krishnaseesam Chanjanikam
Vajrathundam samamsathaha' from which the real meaning of
'Vajrathundam' (used in that context), could not be found
in any contemporary Sanskrit dictionary. ''After a great
amount of interaction with ayurvedic specialists and
Swamijis with intuitive interpretations, it turned out to
be the cactus plant,'' he said.

To further strengthen his claim, he said there were wall
paintings in some forts in Rajasthan depicting the use of
rockets in Mughal warfare and even by Tipu Sultan of
Mysore. Another interesting fact he gave was that the
spacecraft could become invisible on its own. The lead
alloy (Thamogarbha loha) used in making the body of the
spacecraft would absorb light around it in a photo
chemical reaction that would make it disappear.

On testing the Krishna seesa metal mentioned in the
formula in the laboratory of Birla Institute of Science,
Hyderabad, Mr. Prabhu found the metal absorbing 78 per
cent of laser light, which means, any other light could
be easily absorbed, giving ample proof that there existed
a technology to make things invisible. Also the use of an
alloy of copper, zinc and lead made the spacecraft's body
resist corrosion by 1000 times over that of the current
levels. Using Ararakamra material for the axle and wheels
had made it possible for taking 'U' turns and serpentine
movements.

An astonishing fact is that the Ararakamra metal was an
alloy of copper, zinc, lead and iron, the combination of
which is impossible, according to modern metallurgy.
Technically, the ''Young's modulus'' of this metal is
said to be higher than that of steel, making it stronger.
As the spacecraft had to be capable of resisting high
temperature, on re-entering our atmosphere from the outer
space, its body was made with a metal called 'Raja Loha'.
Its special feature was that apart from resisting heat,
it converted light from lightnings into energy. To
crosscheck all these details, there were no furnaces
available in Hyderabad to melt metals at a high
temperature of 2500 degrees celcius, Mr. Prabhu lamented.

Another hitch came into his research in the form of the
'energy' used. 'Though the texts explained that the
spacecraft was propelled by 'Sourasakthi', modern solar
technology does not generate so much power to drag a
rocket', he pointed out. Later he found out to his
bewilderment that it was a kind of 'nuclear power' that
was used in those days. 'The solar power, when coupled
with gamma rays produced nuclear energy that had the
power to propel a rocket', Mr. Prabhu observed.

He even spoke on 'Tripura Vimaan' that was used to travel
in space, water and on land, by using the metal 'Trinetra
loha'. Mr. Prabhu said he had submitted the model and
some more information on the 'super metal' to the Indian
Metal Society Conference and further claimed that the
advisor to the government on scientific affairs Dr. A. P.
J. Abdul Kalam too had asked him to bring the design of
the plane.

A committee which was appointed by Indian Institute of
Science to investigate into it, declared Sastry's texts
as 'fraud', but Mr. Prabhu reasons that the descriptions
mentioned in the ancient texts were perhaps too advanced
to believe, making the committee to hastily come to the
conclusion. He wanted a national level effort to prove
that the so called 'myths' were in fact, scientific
formulae on advanced technology. He said he had proposed
a project called 'Bharadwaja Institute of Vedic Science
and Technology', the objective of which was to derive,
decipher and reproduce advanced methodologies and
processes from Vedic and post-Vedic Sanskrit texts, for
which he sought government's support.

RS> What did it to in such a long time, if it was
RS> a science?

Inasmuch as Jyotish, Vedic prediction sciences are
contained in Vedic texts, allow me to enter this post to
illustratively address your question.

In late October, 1992, the U.S. space shuttle Columbia
was testing gold alloys in a metal furnace 160 miles up
in space. According to Dr. Siddharth -- astrophysicist
and head of the Birla Science Center in Hyderabad, India
-- Hindus thousands of years ago were manufacturing and
piloting space-faring vehicles with materials and gear
more advanced than today's engineering.

The assertion of ancient Indian flying and space
technology isn't new. But it has never gained high
altitude in the atmosphere of [modern] science
credibility. However, the Birla Center was created to
investigate technologies and theories buried deep in
ancient Indian literature, mainly science Shastr:,
"manuals."

Siddharth and his colleagues at the Birla Science Center
and the Birla Institute of Scientific Research cooked up
results of alleged millenia-old Hindu technology in their
lab furnaces: exotic alloys, glasses and ceramics. Dr.
Siddharth confidently told Hinduism Today these materials
suggest the early Hindus matched today's "remote imging
and sensing technology or even excelled in certain
respects."

When the Viman: alloys (as mentioned in the Viman:
Prakaranam) were created, Dr. M.C. Ganokar of the Birla
labs compared them to an international alloy table and
discovered that none were on it. They were novel in
combination and properties. Twenty specimens were
produced. One of the alloys -- lead and certain lead
oxides -- was tested by Dr. Robert Anderson of San Jose
State University (California) who beamed laser light into
it. It startled him by completely absorbing the light.
Dr. Ganokar states that this was used as a protective
coating for space craft. Dr. Siddharth states that the
Viman: shastr describes a variety of air and space craft,
and 32 different instruments.

Flying high

Hundred years after Orville Wright's first flight, K R
N SWAMY remembers Shivkur Bapuji Talpade, the Indian who
flew an unmanned aircraft, eight years before Wright

The Deccan Herald
Wednesday, December 17, 2003

Orville Wright demonstrated on December 17th 1903 that
it was possible for a 'manned heavier than air machine
to fly'. But, in 1895, eight years earlier, the Sanskrit
scholar Shivkar Bapuji Talpade had designed a basic
aircraft called Marutsakthi (meaning Power of Air) based
on Vedic technology and had it take off unmanned before
a large audience in the Chowpathy beach of Bombay. The
importance of the Wright brothers lies in the fact, that
it was a manned flight for a distance of 120 feet and
Orville Wright became the first man to fly. But
Talpade's unmanned aircraft flew to a height of 1500
feet before crashing down and the historian Evan
Koshtka, has described Talpade as the 'first creator of
an aircraft'.

As the world observes the one hundredth anniversary of
the first manned flight, it is interesting to consider
the saga of India's 19th century first aircraft inventor
for his design was entirely based on the rich treasury
of India's Vedas. Shivkar Bapuji Talpade was born in
1864 in the locality of Chirabazar at Dukkarwadi in
Bombay.

He was a scholar of Sanskrit and from his young age was
attracted by the Vaimanika Sastra (Aeronautical Science)
expounded by the great Indian sage Maharishi Bhardwaja.
One western scholar of Indology Stephen-Knapp has put in
simple words or rather has tried to explain what Talpade
did and succeeded!

According to Knapp, the Vaimanika Shastra describes in
detail, the construction of what is called, the mercury
vortex engine the forerunner of the ion engines being
made today by NASA. Knapp adds that additional
information on the mercury engines can be found in the
ancient Vedic text called Samaranga Sutradhara. This
text also devotes 230 verses, to the use of these
machines in peace and war. The Indologist William
Clarendon, who has written down a detailed description
of the mercury vortex engine in his translation of
Samaranga Sutradhara quotes thus 'Inside the circular
air frame, place the mercury-engine with its solar
mercury boiler at the aircraft center. By means of the
power latent in the heated mercury which sets the
driving whirlwind in motion a man sitting inside may
travel a great distance in a most marvellous manner.
Four strong mercury containers must be built into the
interior structure. When these have been heated by fire
through solar or other sources the vimana (aircraft)
develops thunder-power through the mercury.

NASA (National Aeronau-tical and Space Administra-tion)
world's richest/ most powerful scientific organisation
is trying to create an ion engine that is a device that
uses a stream of high velocity electrified particles
instead of a blast of hot gases like in present day
modern jet engines. Surprisingly according to the bi-
monthly Ancient Skies published in USA, the aircraft
engines being developed for future use by NASA by some
strange coincidence also uses mercury bombardment units
powered by Solar cells! Interestingly, the impulse is
generated in seven stages. The mercury propellant is
first vapourised fed into the thruster discharge chamber
ionised converted into plasma by a combination with
electrons broke down electrically and then accelerated
through small openings in a screen to pass out of the
engine at velocities between 1200 to 3000 kilometres per
minute! But so far NASA has been able to produce an
experimental basis only a one pound of thrust by its
scientists a power derivation virtually useless. But 108
years ago Talpade was able to use his knowledge of
Vaimanika Shastra to produce sufficient thrust to lift
his aircraft 1500 feet into the air!

According to Indian scholar Acharya, 'Vaimanika Shastra
deals about aeronautics including the design of aircraft
the way they can be used for transportation and other
applications in detail. The knowledge of aeronautics is
described in Sanskrit in 100 sections, eight chapters,
500 principles and 3000 slokas including 32 techniques
to fly an aircraft. In fact, depending on the
classifications of eras or Yugas in modern Kaliyuga
aircraft used are called Krithakavimana flown by the
power of engines by absorbing solar energies!' It is
feared that only portions of Bharadwaja's masterpiece
Vaimanika Shas-tra survive today.

The question that comes to one's mind is, what happened
to this wonderful encyclopaedia of aeronautical
knowledge accumulated by the Indian savants of yore, and
why was it not used? But in those days, such knowledge
was the preserve of sages, who would not allow it to be
misused, just like the knowledge of atomic bombs is
being used by terrorists today!

According to scholar Ratnakar Mahajan who wrote a
brochure on Talpade. 'Being a Sanskrit scholar
interested in aeronautics, Talpade studied and consulted
a number of Vedic treatises like Brihad Vaimanika
Shastra of Maharishi Bharadwaja Vimanachandrika of
Acharya Narayan Muni Viman yantra of Maharish Shownik
Yantra Kalp by Maharishi Garg Muni Viman Bindu of
Acharya Vachaspati and Vimana Gyanarka Prakashika of
Maharishi Dhundiraj'. This gave him confidence that he
can build an aircraft with mercury engines. One
essential factor in the creation of these Vedic aircraft
was the timing of the Suns Rays or Solar energy (as
being now utilised by NASA) when they were most
effective to activate the mercury ions of the engine.
Happily for Talpade Maharaja Sayaji Rao Gaekwad of
Baroda a great supporter of the Sciences in India, was
willing to help him and Talpade went ahead with his
aircraft construction with mercury engines. One day in
1895 (unfortunately the actual date is not mentioned in
the Kesari newspaper of Pune which covered the event)
before an curious scholarly audience headed by the
famous Indian judge/ nationalist/ Mahadeva Govin-da
Ranade and H H Sayaji Rao Gaekwad Talpade had the good
fortune to see his un manned aircraft named as
'Marutsakthi' take off, fly to a height of 1500 feet and
then fall down to earth.

But this success of an Indian scientist was not liked
by the Imperial rulers. Warned by the British Government
the Maharaja of Baroda stopped helping Talpade. It is
said that the remains of the Marutsakthi were sold to
'foreign parties' by the relatives of Talpade in order
to salvage whatever they can out of their loans to him.
Talpade's wife died at this critical juncture and he was
not in a mental frame to continue with his researches.
But his efforts to make known the greatness of Vedic
Shastras was recognised by Indian scholars, who gave him
the title of Vidya Prakash Pra-deep.

Talpade passed away in 1916 un-honoured, in his own
country.

As the world rightly honours the Wright Brothers for
their achievements, we should think of Talpade, who
utilised the ancient knowledge of Sanskrit texts, to fly
an aircraft, eight years before his foreign counterparts.

Thanks for the interest.

Seventy-eight episodes of the serial were indeed aired
during 1987-89. This ended in Rama's "Viman" (aircraft)
landing at Ayodhya, his coronation and celebration.

Since the viewers wanted more, Ramanand Sagar added
another 26 or so episodes dealing with the sad sequel to
the Tulsi Ramayana, in which a pregnant Sita is banished
by King Rama. Sita finds shelter in the Ashram of
Valmiki, bears two sons, Luv and Kush. Years roll by, the
two sons grow up to be warriors, who eventually defeat
their illustrious father, unknown to them. When Sita sees
the captured king, she chides the youths and discloses to
them that Rama is their father, who are granted
forgiveness. A repentant Rama begs Sita's forgiveness,
and requests she return to Ayodhya. A proud Sita refused,
and saying that her mission on earth had been fulfilled,
beckoned Prithivi (the Earth), her mother, to accept her
back. The series ends with Sita descending into the
earth, and the grief-stricken Rama and the two princes
left behind mourning her loss.

Hindus found it difficult to watch the last episodes
without a box of cleenex by their side.

This part ( titled Uttara-Kanda) is a part of the Valmiki
Ramayan. The Ramcharitmanas (Tulsidas') ends with the
coronation.

Good advice, wish van Gogh knew about it.
I felt really sorry for him after I visited his museum day before
yesterday.
A first rate genius, of the order of da Vinci, was pulled down by his
circling second raters to suicide.
Very sad.
Much better it would have been had he continued with his early
idealism, as he showed in his incredible painting "The Potato
Eaters". What a painter he really was!
I think the huge mobs seeing his works think much the same thing. We
were all so moved by his earliest works.

[ From: Dr. Jai Maharaj
[ Date: March 27, 2000

Forwarded article

Vaimanika-shastr

"...There is one book entitled Vaimanika-shastr that was
dictated in trance during this century and purports to be
a transcription of an ancient work preserved in the
Akashic record."

"The medium in this case was Pandit Subbaraya Sastry, a
'walking lexicon gifted with occult perception', who
began to dictate the Vaimanika-shastr to Mr. Venkatachala
Sarma on August 1, 1918. The complete work was taken down
in 23 exercise books up to August 23, 1923. In 1923,
Subbaraya Sastry also had a draftsman prepare some
drawings of the vimaans according to his instructions." -
Richard L. Thompson, Alien Identities

According to the Vymanika Shastr, purportedly written by
Maharishi Bharadwaja in the 4th Century BC, there are 32
secrets to piloting a vimaan. These include:

"Maantrika: The invoking of mantras which will permit one
to achieve certain spiritual and hypnotic powers so that
he can construct airplanes which cannot be destroyed.
Taantrika: by acquiring some of the Tantric powers, one
may endow his aircraft with those same powers.

Goodha: This secret permits the pilot to make his vimaan
invisible to his enemies. Adrishya accomplishes the same
purpose by attracting 'the force of the ethereal flow in
the sky'.

Paroksha: This helpful hint enables the pilot to paralyze
other vimaans and put them out of action. Aparoksha: One
may employ this ability to project a beam of light in
front of his craft to light his way.

Viroop Karan: With this skill mastered, the pilot can
produce 'the thirty-second kind of smoke', charge it with
'the light of the heat waves in the sky' and transform
his craft into a 'very fierce and terrifying shape'
guaranteed to cause 'utter fright to onlookers'.
Roopaanara can cause the vimaan to assume such shapes as
those of the lion, tiger, rhinoceros, serpent - even a
mountain- to confuse observers.

Suroop: If one can attract the thirteen kinds of 'Karaka
force', one can make the vimaan appear to be 'a heavenly
damsel bedecked with flowers and jewels'.

Pralaya: This deadly secret pushed electrical force
through the 'five-limbed aerial tube' so that the pilot
may 'destroy everything as in a cataclysm'. Vimukna sends
a poison powder through the air to produce 'wholesale
insensibility and coma'.

Taara: This ability, once mastered, provides the pilot
with another means of avoiding contact with an enemy or
hiding his purpose from observers: 'By mixing with
ethereal force 10 parts of air force, 7 parts of water
force, and 16 parts of solar glow, and projecting it by
means of the star-faced mirror through the frontal tube
of the vimaan, the appearance of a star-spangled sky is
created.'

Saarpa-Gaman: This secret enables the pilot to attract
the forces of air, join them with solar ryas, and pass
the mixture through the center of the craft so the vimaan
will 'have a zig-zagging motion like a serpent'.
Roopaakarshana permits the pilot to see inside an enemy's
airplane, while Kriyaagrahana allows one to spy on 'all
the activities going on down below on the ground'. Jalada
roopa instructs the pilot in the correct proportions of
certain chemicals which will envelop the vimaan and give
it the appearance of a cloud."

- Brad Steiger, Worlds Before Our Own

"Aavartaas or aerial whirlpools are innumerable in the
above regions. Of them the whirlpools in the routes of
the vimaans are five. In the Rekhapathha there occurs the
whirlpool of winds. In Kakshya-pathha there occurs
Kiranavarta or whirlpool from solar rays. In Shaktipathha
there occurs Shytyaavarta or whirlpool of cold currents.
And in Kendrapathha there occurs gharshanavartaor
whirlpool by collision. Such whirlpools are destructive
of vimaans, and have to be guarded against.

"The pilot should now these five sources of danger, and
learn to steer clear of them to safety."

- Vymankia Shastr

"In ancient India the writers of knowledge were careful
to observer every form of change, every pattern of flow -
rest- motion and to describe even the smallest of effects
seen, the causes unseen. Often they spoke of matter that
were beyond the five senses, yet in much detail. It seems
their science was one of experience more than
speculation."

- John Walker, "The Vortex Arena" in Anti-Gravity and
the Unified Field

"Since the siddhis [paranormal powers] are natural
principles, it is possible that machines might be
constructed that take advantage of them, and some vimaans
and UFOs might operate on this basis. Thus, laghima-
siddhi could be used to make the craft weightless, and
mano-java could be used to move it through the ether.
Other vehicles might make use of more familiar mechanical
or electromagnetic propulsion methods, or they might
employ a combination of siddhis and more familiar
principles."

- Richard L. Thompson, Alien Identities

According to the "psychic crystallization theory",
thought forms as independent energy entities "might be
the result of mind blending with a psi substratum".
"Samuel Lentine, a physicist at Rensselaer Polytechnical
Institute, has investigated such 'thought forms', and
claims they can be created by mixing psi energies in the
same way you can create certain chemicals by mixing other
chemicals. Lentine, blind since childhood, found during
meditation that such humanly-created entities can
actually exist by themselves for short periods, causing a
whirl of energy about them."

As G. Patrick Flanagan "has speculated, it is an all-
pervasive 'ether' that actually causes the force of
gravity by the pressure it exerts, and forms electricity
and magnetism by flowing in whirls and eddies."

"...The PK effect could be looked upon as mind not
necessarily intermingling with the physical elements of
an object but altering the etheric or organizing forces
that supposedly shape the material world - the idea that
thoughts are actual things imprinted in the clay of the
universe."

- Michael H. Brown, PK

Plasma: a collective of elementary particles devoid of
atoms which exist at normal temperatures in metals and so
forth. Living organisms are an unusual reservoir and
generator of plasma. Almost any plasma generates
inhomogeneity, pinching itself together into dense,
swirling filaments, separated by diffuse voids.

The trip to the Kuiper belt was audacious. Using a comet
on its way out, they spread a miles-wide net to catch it,
with thousands of kilometers of carbon-fiber/spider-silk
line spooled behind it. To keep from being shredded when
the comet hit, the line was connected to dynamoes, and
when the line unspooled it would power the batteries, AND
make the impact more manageable. But some nitwit American
was (still) using feet instead of meters in the
calculations, and the drag shifted the comet just enough
that they were put on a collision-course with Jupiter.

Toulouse-Lautrec was directly related. Showed one way to make money,
by promoting showbiz.



> Where do you go from France?

I have returned this morning, after visiting Amsterdam and
surroundings (Delft, The Hague, Marodam, Vandamen,
Marken and Keukenhof); then to Dusseldorf and Koln (the cathedral
there is a wonder to behold) in Germany.
Flew back to Paris from Dusseldorf, and spent a day in Shanghai
(mostly sleeping I am afraid, but we did eat
good dim sums and bought pottery and other stuff at the airport). It
was a truly fantastic experience, we were very
lucky with the food, the weather, the travel and the hotels - and my
aunt's hospitality in Germany was simply
unbelievable!
Also managed to see a Hindi movie on the flight, AB & HM in "Buddah
hoga tera baap".
Cheers,
Arindam Banerjee

Shortage of time then, we were running out of time in the one-hour
span in the interent cafe in the Dam at Amsterdam. Continuing:

To quote myself, some of my worst but pungent lines go thusly:

"So I said, fuck 'em, fuck 'em all.
With those jerks I'll not play ball."

That's the way to treat the envious second raters and worse (ill-
learned phuds, quotays, cowards, etc.), but one needs to be confident
of oneself and support from the woman helps greatly.
Sadly, van Gogh was lacking in both areas.

Had he gone the way he began, he would have been a super-Picasso.
Here too I am referring to the early Picasso.
