“Vasudhaiva kutumbakam” and “Lokaa samasthaas sukhino bhavanthu”. We are all
indebted to this wonder woman of beauty, elegance and Wisdom.

Dwijendralal Roy, a contemporary of Ravindranath Tagore in his song “Dhano Dhaanya

pushpa bhora” beautifully carved out the greatness and splendour of India.

He says, “The Earth is rich with food grains and flowers, and my motherland is on this
boundless Earth. My dream is realized on my motherland with its rivers and mountains.
You won't find such a nation
anywhere else and that nation is my motherland, the Empress of all nations”.
In the further lines he depicts the greatness of India, “My motherland is the most beautiful
country for me. I was born in this country; I would like to die here.” Another instance from
the song- “Where shall we get such love of mothers?” is just enough to show the majesty
and grandeur of her and her people.

speaks not about Tolerance but about
Love, the Universal Divinity every being

Tolerance to Love. That is true Indianism.

Origin of the
Universe
Suresh Sistla

O ne of the greatest physicists of all time, Albert Einstein was

working on a theory that was called The Theory of Everything.
This was supposed to be a theory that fully explains and links
together all known physical phenomena. However, many
other physicists have tried to come up with such a theory over
the last century, but none would be considered to be
complete or experimentally correct, as each theory would
contradict with another.

Each one of us at some or other point had
wondered about the very existence of life on
our planet. The same idea can lead to a much
more interesting question. How did this
universe come into existence in the first place?
Well, the answer is not quite ready yet, but we
could be able to find out.
electron cannot be measured precisely at any
given point. This statement is quite easy to
remember and reproduce in the examination
papers, isn’t it? Well, that is what I did when in
school. But, I will have to admit that I really did
not understand what the great scientist
actually meant when he said that.

Scientists from various countries are trying to
find answers to the toughest questions being
asked about our universe. The findings can be
quite astonishing. Many theories have been
and are being written about the birth of the
universe. We have learnt that the universe was
born as a result of a really big explosion, we
call the BIG BANG. What is this Big Bang and
how did it even happen.
Scientists have made assumptions based on
this famous Heisenberg’s Uncertainty
Principle. They have come to a conclusion that
a particle such as an electron can actually exist
in two or more different locations at the same
time. It is believed that if certain phenomena
are possible in the quantum level of matter,
then similar phenomena are possible in every
other level.

According to Werner Heisenberg, the velocity

and position of a subatomic particle like an

THE UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE

http://www.aip.org/history/
heisenberg/p08.htm

Werner Heisenberg Albert Einstein

Reference : http://www.aip.org/history/heisenberg/p08.htm

Having said that, scientists today believe that if a small particle like the electron can exist in
multiple locations at the same time, then so can we humans, all matter in our solar system, and
finally our universe.

This idea introduces the term Multiverse, because scientists now believe that there are multiple
universes and not just one. They also believe that these universes can be replicas of each other. If
this is a reality, then there are many universes that are replicas of each other, and every universe
will have an exact replica of you and me. The Big Bang happened once, and so it can happen
again. In fact, there could be Big Bangs happening out there right this moment. It is difficult for
us to see because we are too far away from them. The structure of space is unknown to us, but
there has been a change in the way scientists look at it. The universe can be never-ending and
ever-expanding. But now the question is, if space is ever-expanding, then how these universes
could be placed. It is said that these universes are parallel to each other, and hence the term
Parallel Universes. The theory is now called as Membrane Theory, because it is believed that
these universes are actually part of a membrane like structure. And many such membranes are
placed parallel to each other. These membranes are close to each other and they keep waving
like pieces of cloth. Whenever these membranes touch each other, there is a huge amount of
energy that is released. We cannot see these membranes, because we are in a different
dimension than them. This theory so far has proposed a possible existence of 11 dimensions. The
reason why we cannot see the other universes could be that we are in a different dimension than
that of the other universes, which limits our view.

This article talks only about the general ideas of this study, and there is lot more to it.

It's your
call
All of us, at some point or the other feel like
rushing towards the person and kicking him
out of the train while travelling long distance,
when the silence of the night gets shattered,
when our blissful sleep lullabied by the
thudding sound of the train gets interrupted
and suddenly we realize that the culprit is
none other than the loud piercing noise of the
ring tone of another passenger’s cell phone.
Mobile phones have become so rampant in
today’s world that one feels helpless, when he
realizes that he has forgotten it at home. We
have become so used to it that our life seems
almost impossible without it. It has got into
our system in such a way that we almost feel
crippled in its absence. We have become so
dependent on this little piece of technology
that it too has become an essential part of our
work-a-day life.
In the days of yore, how our parents, grand
parents and great grand parents et al used to
spend their evenings in the nukkad(the
surrounding), playing with friends, climbing
trees and plucking fruits, roaming in the
greeneries, hopping on the playground,
running after butterflies and so on……But
now-a-days, we can easily witness school kids
SMSing( thanks to ‘free SMS’ offers by service
providers), calling up friends informing them
that they had sent them a funny SMS or
playing games on the phone! What has
happened to the age of scrabble, running and
catching, kho-kho, bicycle races and sand
castles after school? It is a pity to see the
beauty of childhood being snatched away this
way. This has lead to children growing up in a
MSIT Voice

precocious manner.
Barbie dolls and toy cars no longer occupy the
prime position at the bedside. That has long
been conquered by the mobile phone which
has replaced bedtime stories and dreams.
Lego toys, Sherlock Holmes novels, knitting
and embroidery seem to be passé as smart
phones have crept in. What a pity to see
young minds flipping away idly! It is an
eyesore to see children playing football,
soccer or cricket virtually instead of engaging
in the game in the real world.
The other day, I went to a wedding and I felt
really sad to witness the sight where,
relatives of the couple coming onto the dais
handling on their phones to the newly wed
informing them that their cousins from US
want to wish them. No matter what, even
priest has to stop chanting the mantras and
wait for the conversation to finish. The
wedding hall these days reverberates with
ringtones from different mobile phones, each
humming to its own glory unmindful of the
sanctity of the proceedings. Long back there
were disputes if the muhuratam was delayed
due to some reasons. But now, even the
priests are busy answering phones in the
midst of the rituals.
I find it strange that at the workplace people
do not bother to turn their mobile phones
into ‘silent' or ‘vibrate' mode. Meetings are
usually interrupted when one of the

attendees' phones starts blaring out and

then the attendee sheepishly mumbles a,
“sorry,” and switches off the phone. What
sort of ‘productivity' are we talking about
when employees spend their time chatting,
SMSing or even switching off their phone?

Lets talk about, ROAD SAFETY. It’s a very

common thing to see that people drive with
one hand on the steering and the other
holding the phone. Nowadays, safety does
not depend upon on how carefully one
drives but it depends upon how the others
drive on the road. Signals offer plenty of
opportunity to quickly type an SMS. Hands Have we ever asked ourselves, how many of

Ancient Indian
Wisdom

M. Mulri Krishna Tejaswi

IInd Year
IIIT H

India as we all call her today was called as Bharata desa or Hindusthaanam. The word
Hindusthaanam is a very special word which glorifies the greatness of our nation.
Hindusthaanam means 'the place of the Hindus' and Hinduism is not a religion but a way of life.
Hindus are the people who abide by the laws of Nature or the Sanaatana Dharma. Anyone is a
Hindu, who realizes the all pervading self and follows the Sanatana dharma. A small quadruplet
that gives a small glimpse into the Sanatana dharma is worthwhile to be quoted.
These four lines convey the message of the Vedas. Speak the Truth, speak pleasant words.
Words that are true but unpleasant to be heard should not be spoken (Speak the Truth
pleasantly, in an agreeable manner). Donot speak something which is against the Law. The law,
here is stated as Rta. Rta is the principle of natural order which regulates and coordinates the
operation of the universe and everything within it. So, Hindus are the people who follow this
law that guides the nature.

the sages whose desires have been completely fulfilled, reach where that supreme treasure
of Truth resides.

In the earlier day texts, there is no mention of the word 'Hindu'. It is said that, the people
from the west while travelling to our nation came across the river Sindhu and hence the
name Hindu. Though there are no references to this word in the Vedic texts, this word is
used frequently as it has been mentioned in the other texts that blossomed after the Vedic
Era.

[ BAARHASPATHYA SHAASTRAM ]

Himalayam samarabhya yavadindu sarovaram !

tam devanirmitam desham Hindusthanam prachakshate !

In the puranic era, the word Hindu became a household name. The ancient text
Baarhaspathya shaastram confirms that the people living in the region that starts from the
Himalayas and ends in the Indu sarovaram (The Indian Ocean) is the land of the Hindus. It
also gives a clue about the formation of the word Hindu. One can easily understand that the
word Hindu might have been formed from 'Him' in the word Himalayas and 'du' in the word
Indu.

It is well known that our nation is called Bhaarata desam. The word bharaata in the
context of our nation has its mention in this Shastra of Brihaspathi.

Bhaarat is the name of country situated to the north of the sea and south of the
Himalayas and its progeny is known as Bharati.

[ BAARHASPATHYA SHAASTRAM ]

Uttaram yat samudrasya, himadreschaiva dakshinam !

varsham tad bhaaratham nama bharati yatra santatih !

The word hindu also has a reference in the Meru Tantra as “heenani gunaani
dushyanthi iti hindu”. Hindu is the one who conquers all the inferior qualities (heenani
gunaani) of anger, arrogance, greed, Jealousy, lust etc. If one is a continuous blossoming of
Love and has only noble qualities of courage, expansiveness, non-violence, and follows the
Law of Nature; then he is a Hindu. So, anyone is a hindu, who abides by the dharma. Hindus
are not just the worshippers of Idols, more than that the worshippers of the Truth (Divinity
or Love) in everything they see. Ancient India worshipped the Divine in the form of Idols.
Idol worship was considered as the starting platform for the one who wishes to move ahead

[ readersmail.msitvoice@gmail.com ] MSIT Voice

in Spirituality.
Every creature living or non-living is
the manifestation of the Divine. So, all that
exists is the projection of the Divine. Even
a stone is worthy of worship as it is a gift
from the Divine. So, while worshipping,
the ancient Indians kept in mind, the
Divine Omnipresence that there is no place
devoid of God. This is the suferficial level
of understanding.
The second level of understanding is
through symbolizing. Every religion has its
own symbols. For example the followers of
the Love of Christ consider the Cross as
something special. The Islam has a special
relationship with the Crescent moon. In
the same way the ancient Indians
symbolized the Divine Unmanisfest as
something understandable and
comprehensible, though
incomprehensible.
We all usually see idols having many
hands (usually four). This signifies that
there is something in the Universe that is
more powerful (omnipotence). Each hand
is shown holding instruments. Let us take
the idol of Vishnu. Vishnu is shown
holding a conch (sankha), a discus
(chakra), a mace (gada) and a lotus. Each
represents a primary element. The discus
reperesents the fire element, the conch
the water element, the mace the Earth
element and the lotus the air element. The
fifth element is the Infinite space. This is
represented as the blue body of the Divine.
The message of the idol is simple. The five
elements because of which life is possible
and sustained are to be revered.
There is another interpretation in the
Gopala uttartapani Upanishad. The lower
right hand represents the revolving or
creative tendency which holds the conch,
symbol of the five elements. The upper
MSIT Voice
August, 2010 Issue
right hand represents the cohesive
tendency which holds the discus, shining
like an infant sun, symbol of the mind. The
upper left hand, represents the tendency
towards dispersion and liberation, which
holds the lotus, symbol of the causal
power of illusion, from which the universe
rises. The lower left hand, which
represents the notion of individual
existence, holds the mace, symbol of
primeval knowledge.
Vishnu is usually seen reclining on
Sesha, the Serpent that floats in the
Ksheerasagara, the ocean of milk. The
hoods of the serpant represent the five
sensory pleasures. The Lord reclining on
the Serpant symbolizes that one should
have control over his senses. The Lord is
shown floating in the Ocean of milk. The
Ocean of milk represents Universal
Consciousness, that is omnipresent. It is
only knowledge. So, one should dawn in
this Ocean of Infinity.
There is another story- the Lord dances
on the hoods of a vicious serpent. The
serpent represents the nervous system
(spinal cord and brain) which is the basis
for all energy. Krishna is shown dancing
on the serpant. This dance symbolizes
that one should channelize his energy
through Knowledge (Krishna), so that he
will experience the Self that is pervading
everywhere and will become the Self.
Annamacharya, a great Telugu poet and
composer mentions the Same in his Adivo
Alladivo Song -
“padivela sheshula padagala mayamu”
After conquering the 10000 hoods of
Sesha, one attains the Divine. This means
after regulating the inner energy one
attains Bliss and becomes Bliss. In the
yogic practices kundalini shakti has a
prominance. There is only one energy. If it
[ readersmail.msitvoice@gmail.com ]
 August, 2010 Issue 018

is at the bottommost level or nodal intersection, it is either creative or pro-creative. If it is at

the heart it is either love or anger, if it still goes up it becomes the only one- Bliss. Our
ancient family propagated this philosophy and brought it down to the common people in the
form of poems and songs.

They have diversified in their symbols, as spirit loves diversity. Creation is full bright with
diversity. Energy or Shakti is considered as a feminine aspect and the Unmanifest Divine is
portrayed in this diversified form as a beautiful loving and caring mother. The scriptures
depict the Unmanifest, having no attributes as Manifest having infinite good attributes and
qualities. The Ramayana, the puranas go in this direction.

The Divine mother is shown holding in her four hands four symbolic forms- a
noose(paasha), representing love and energy; a goad(ankusha), the energy controlling and
channelizing tool that can restrain all the evil tendencies ; a sugercane bow representing the
mind and a set of five arrows representing the five Tanmatras (Subtle elements). Even the
Divine Ganesha form also holds paasha and ankusha representing the same. Ganesha also
symbolizes acute listening, listening with comprehension.

Raagasvarupa pashadhya krodha karankushojjvala

[ BRAHMANADA PURANA ]

Manorupekshu kodanda pancha tanmatra sayaka

Adi Shankara, the greatest proponent of sanatana vaidika dharma, who worshipped the
Divine Unmanisfest as Unmanifest itself, who realized the Truth -“I am Divine” also
worshipped the Divine as Manifest in many forms. One of them is Sharadaa. Sharaada holds
the scriptures depicting dharma. She also holds a golden vessel containing Madhu, a parrot
and a rosary embodying wealth(artha), desire(kama) and liberation(moksha). The desire of
earning money and gaining possessions should be according to dharma that leads to
liberation.

We are all very fortunate to have born in this nation of diversity in unity and unity in
diversity. Let it be called Bhaarata desa or Hindusthan or India, we, her children should grow
into True Bhaarati (Indian).

OPINION
Analyze
before
you finalize
G
enerally, when we meet someone for the first
time, we develop an impression upon them. It
may be a feeling of hatred, affection, irritation,
respect, sympathy etc. Sometimes it may be love
like in the case of ‘love at first sight’ or the other
person may look like our sibling (either brother
or sister). Sometimes the other person may also
look like our Dad or Mom or any elderly person
in our family. The next time we meet them, we in
fact interact with the impression we have
developed on them but not with the person
actually. If you do not believe me, check it out in
your interactions with people.
But as days go on, relationships would
develop and slowly these impressions would pale
up. In fact these impressions are replaced with
opinions. There is never a danger with the
impressions but there is always a danger with
the opinions. The reason I say this statement is
that impressions last only to the extent where a
relationship does not start developing. Once a
relationship starts developing between two
people, many kinds of opinions would take birth.
The opinions may be good or bad. The goodness
or badness of these opinions mainly depends on
the way we understand people. In some cases we
may start up a relation with a very bad
impression but end up with a good opinion on
the other person and vice versa.
It is always a welcome sign to develop a good
opinion on someone. But the real problem lies in
the case where even fantastic first impressions
are turned down into bad opinions. In situations
of this kind anger plays a vital role. One should
MSIT Voice
August, 2010 Issue
Sudheer Mallela
know the ways to control one’s anger. Anger
would lead to misunderstandings.
Misunderstandings would always mislead our
thought process and would make us take a
wrong decision. This is the reason why many
lovers broke up their relationships. This is the
reason why wed couples would take a stand for
divorce. These days we often see newlywed
couples urging for divorce even before they
celebrate their first wedding anniversary.
Opinions are personal, I agree. But, this
statement depends on the type of relationship.
For example, someone’s first impression on
Indian cricket team may be great but later on
after watching a few matches the one may opine
that the team is not good. Or he/she may also
opine that cricket is a bad game. This makes no
harm to their life. But when it is the case of two
people one on one especially partners (be them
in life or in business), things would not move
smoothly with such bad opinions. Of course the
bad opinions developed may be correct! My
point is that when we are deciding upon
someone to be bad we should see that there are
no misunderstandings and the decision is not
taken in anger. Our anger would result in the
anguish of others !
Reflection cannot be seen in boiling water. In
the same way truth cannot be seen in a state of
anger. Hence analyze before you finalize
anything. If you can fill the unforgettable minute
with 60 seconds of distance travelled, yours will
be the earth and everything on it !
