VEDIC ASTRONOMY AND ASTROLOGY AND ITS PRACTICAL APPLICATION IN MODERN ERA: A CASE STUDY

India also has a very long history of traditional science through the ages through its various epoch-making traditional scriptures. Major traditional scientific texts and scientific elements are composed directly or indirectly in the Sanskrit Language and are mostly related to ancient Indian Vedic literature. Among several branches of traditional Indian sciences, the most ancient branches are, in most cases, astronomy, medicine, etc. India also has a very long history of astronomical sciences (jyotiḥ-sāstra) and medicine (āyur-veda). Indian classical astronomical sciences are roughly divided into mathematical astronomy (gaṇita-jyotiṣa) and astrology (phalita-jyotiṣa). All these scriptures directly or indirectly influenced Indian culture and life. Even today Indian people are following the directions of these sacred texts. Here I would like to do a case study of the only hospital related to Indian Astrology and Astronomy. The name of the hospital is ‘Unique Sangeeta Memorial Hospital’ and it is dedicated to the service of mankind with a mixture of traditional Vedic Astrology and Astronomy and modern Medical knowledge.

Holistic Cognitive Style, Chinese Culture, and the Sinification of Buddhism

According to many experiments in cross-cultural psychology, East Asians exhibit holistic cognitive style typified by use of resemblance heuristics, field dependence, external sources of causation, intuitive forms of reasoning, and interdependent forms of social thinking. Holistic cognitive style contrasts with analytic cognitive style, which is common to Westerners. Section 1 presents information on the background of Buddhism’s entry into and treatment by China. Section 2 discusses experimental evidence for the representation of holistic cognitive style in contemporary East Asians. Section 3 presents preliminary evidence for the interaction between holistic cognitive style and the history of ideas in China at large. Section 4 analyzes two discussions of the same philosophical problem conducted by Chinese Buddhist philosopher Fazang and Indian Vedic philosopher Shankara. It is provisionally argued that the interpretive strategies displayed by Fazang interact with several components of holistic cognitive style, in contrast with Shankara. Implications are discussed.

The Prodigious Indian Vedic Concepts of Psyche or Mind; a New-fashioned Directive of Mental Health Science to Deal with Labyrinthine Clinical Cases by Amalgamating Indian Psychological Concepts and Principles

Purpose: The bulk of psychology practice in India as well as in other parts of the world is influenced by western ideas of psychological health and illness. The importance of theology, civilization, and eastern philosophy, together with healthcare, has been largely disregarded by these prominent psychological ideas throughout the last few years or more. They were also developed predominantly for those having an internal control center. To understand what Indian beliefs could give to psychology, one must understand the old Indian frameworks, or put it differently, the grand Hinduism and its huge repository of intellectual information. In this paper, we mainly examine how Hinduism, Indian traditions, and conventional Indian healthcare methods are applied to research the psyche and psychological well-being. Objective: This article's main goal is to provide details on psychology as a field from an Indian perspective. These are some of the topics discussed in this study, along with what the aspects of the mind are and what the Indian classics have to say about psychology from a scientific perspective. Design/Methodology/Approach: Secondary information that was obtained from a variety of reliable and trustworthy publications and websites was used to write this work. To increase the accuracy and authenticity of this document, the data was carefully and scientifically examined by making references to a number of different publications and subtopics. The data was acquired from a variety of trustworthy and respectable sources, including Academia and Google Scholar. Cross-referencing all the data from websites like Academia, Google Scholar, and others revealed that there wasn't a lot of material from different points of view that were included. Findings/Result: Here, a chance has been taken to succinctly synthesize the core principles of the many schools of Indian thought as they relate to understanding human character and behavioral patterns. The aforementioned makes obvious the enormous amount of understanding and knowledge that is a natural component of Indian theories, which has much more to offer psychology students. The significant therapeutic advantages that each way of thinking autonomously provides are very promising for those who provide psychological treatment. Because of this, Indian psychologists should be adaptable to infusing Indian concepts into our therapy, despite our training in contemporary Western psychological institutions. We must objectively assess the significance of our centuries-old beliefs, especially those related to yoga, meditation, and Indian forms of psychoanalysis and psychotherapies, in order to validate them as well as prevent labeling them as relics of third-world mysticism. Originality and value: To make this work relevant and palatable to the entire society, independent of one's educational level and career, an innovative and readily accessible complete methodology, and explanation have been developed. The primary goal of this study is to educate the public about certain well-known psychological and other mental health principles found in the Indian system of medicine (Ayurveda), as well as the great Indian epics and their relevance to the present and the future. Paper Type: Clinical/health analysis paper

Comparison of Vedic Multiplier Implementation Using Gate Diffusion Input and Modified Gate Diffusion Input Techniques

Vedic maths is an ancient mathematical theory based on 16 sutras that has a unique computation technique. We employ the fourteenth sutra, 'Urdhva Tiryakbhyam', from the 16 sutras. Multiplication can be done 'vertically and crosswise' using this sutra. The creation of a high-speed Vedic Multiplier based on ancient Indian Vedic Mathematics principles that have been tweaked to boost efficiency. Power, area, and latency are the three fundamental restrictions in modern VLSI technological advancements. Multipliers are used in high-speed arithmetic logic units, multiplier and accumulate units, and other similar applications. With the rising limits on latency, the design of faster multiplications is becoming increasingly important. Many changes are being done to improve speed. Vedic multipliers based on Vedic Mathematics are among them. Power, area, and latency are the three fundamental restrictions in modern VLSI technological advancements. CMOS (Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) designs take up more space and use more energy. Power dissipation causes an IC to heat up, which has a direct impact on its reliability and performance. Gate Diffusion Input (GDI) technology reduces the size, propagation delay, and power consumption of digital circuits while also lowering logic complexity as compared to traditional CMOS and existing pass transistor logic approaches. We compared a 2x2 Vedic multiplier based on the GDI and mGDI (Modified GDI) techniques in this study. In comparison to the GDI approach, the mGDI technology employs much less transistors. The Vedic multiplier is implemented in the cadence virtuoso tool, on 180nm and 90nm technology.

The Ancient Concept of the Temple: A Symbolic Study

The temple is the holy place away from the distracted mind, where the human mind gets new consciousness and inspiration, that is why the temple has been designated with the words Devalaya, Devayatan, Devkul, Devgriha, Devdham and Devlok etc. The temple looks like an architectural structure when viewed from a distance. But if we study the temple carefully, we find that the temple is a combination of various symbols. Behind the construction of each part of the temple, there is some esoteric intention. Different parts of the temple represent the whole story of human life. If there are four ashrams in it, then the story of immortality and rebirth is also included. The temple has its own religiosity, but it also has a combination of various mystical experiences. The temple has been compared to the human body and its various parts have been equated with the different parts of the temple. The whole universe is contained in the temple. It is the entire creation in itself. The ancient Indian Vedic tradition defines the entire creation with the metaphor of Purusha. In the Vastu texts, it has been given the name of Vastu Purusha and the temple has been called the image of Purusha. Since the temple is the entire universe in itself and it is integrated with the human body, therefore the human body is a moving universe.

Relationship between Vedic personality traits (Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas) with life satisfaction and perceived stress in healthy university students: A cross-sectional study.

Trigunas are three basic mental attributes of a personality according to Indian Vedic literature that explains the relationship between mental attributes and human behavior. The three attributes are Tamas (tendency toward lethargy and rigidity), Rajas (tendency toward ambition and activity) and Sattva (tendency toward selfless service), respectively. Satisfaction with life and perceived stress are the important determinants of one's quality of life. A cross-sectional study assessed the relationship between Trigunas, life satisfaction and perceived stress. The study recruited 121 willing healthy university students (75 females) with general health questionnaire scores ≤3. All participants were assessed using standardized psychometric tools. Spearman two-tailed correlation test revealed Sattva to have positive correlation with life satisfaction (r = 0.503) and negative correlation with perceived stress (r = -0.302) and other two Gunas (Tamas: R = -0.77; Rajas: R = -0.75), respectively. On the other hand, both Rajas and Tamas correlated positively with perceived stress (Rajas: R = 0.183; Tamas: R = 0.321) and negatively with life satisfaction (Rajas: R = -0.40; Tamas: R = -0.36). This cross-sectional study on university students in India suggests an association of Vedic personality traits (Sattva, Rajas and Tamas Gunas) with life satisfaction, and perceived stress.

Towards a ‘Vedic Feminine Renaissance’

The sense of justice and equity towards women is considered among the best indicators that reflect the socio-cultural development of a civilisation. The position and status of women, as reflected in literature naturally serves as a test to gauge the sensibilities and cultivation of each associated age. It is matter of general agreement that the feminine ideals of womanhood during the early Vedic age remain exalted and exemplary. The Vedic narratives elevate the ephemeral spirit of womanhood, which progressively lost its sheen in successive stages.
 While the contemporary feminine polemics consistently unravel unhackneyed theories, generic in nature, we are lacking in such an orientation which targets specifics of local, regional and traditional culture. Feminists in India are no exception, and have largely adopted the theories of Feminism emanating from the discourse of the West. The Indian Vedic repository contains instances which testify the epitome of womanhood at its best. However, the Indian ethos of feminism imbedded firmly in the Vedic roots remain largely inaccessible in the contemporary feministic theory. The need for adapting ‘global feminism’ to the ‘classical Indian taste’ remains an unobserved concern.
 This paper explores the possibilities inherent in the study of classical mythic literature and their potential for stimulating ‘local theories’ of feminism in India through a study of selected feminine ideals present in the early Vedic narratives. Can study of ancient Vedic literature inspire a reawakening in Indian feminism, just as the study of classical Greek literature did for the West during Renaissance in Europe - is a question, this paper seeks to address.

Sukshmjeevanu in Vedas: The Forgotten Past of Microbiology in Indian Vedic Knowledge.

No one questions the existence of presumptive knowledge of invisible organisms causing disease, decay and destruction mentioned before the discovery of the microbial world by Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek, who was the first to describe the invisible world as per literature available today. However, the knowledge about microbial world by Indian Rishis presented in Sanskrit shlokas or suktas of our traditional manuscripts such as Vedas remained unseen, where the Rishis had predicted the role of microorganisms known as Krimi or Jeevanu years before Leeuwenhoek. This note is an attempt to bring an emphasis to revisit our traditional Vedic knowledge and establish them through research based facts for wider acceptance globally.

Cognitive Metaphor Theory Integrated into Comparative Theology

Abstract The emergence of the new comparative theology in the west has greatly benefitted from Indian Vedic texts and related ones. Despite their extensive use for western theological reflection, comparative theology, however, has not come to the limelight in India, since most of the western initiatives have been perceived to be camouflaged missionary efforts. This paper proposes the cognitive metaphor theory as a fitting supplement to comparative theology. I argue that combining both has much to offer to study, learn, and relate religions in the multi-religiously coexisting context of India. I explore its possibilities and challenges and address how new comparative theology stays distinct from its nineteenth-century efforts in terms of bridging religious traditions by learning from them. This paper draws much from my own experiences, insights, and studies as a native of Indian culture, brought up in Christian tradition. My studies and researches are focused on comparative theology developed through the lens of cognitive metaphor theory.
