“The geologist takes up the history of the earth at the point where the archaeologist leaves it, and carries it further back into remote antiquity.”
― Bal Gangadhar Tilak, The Arctic Home in the Vedas tags: archaeology, geology, history
10 people liked it like “If we trace the history of any nation backwards into the past, we come at last to a period of myths and traditions which eventually fade away into impenetrable darkness.”
Bal Gangadhar Tilak, The Arctic Home in the Vedas

Swaraj (self-rule) is my birthright and I shall have it.

If we trace the history of any nation backwards into the past, we come at last to a period of myths and traditions which eventually fade away into impenetrable darkness.

The geologist takes up the history of the earth at the point where the archaeologist leaves it, and carries it further back into remote antiquity.
The most practical teaching of the Gita, and one for which it is of abiding interest and value to the men of the world with whom life is a series of struggles, is not to give way to any morbid sentimentality when duty demands sternness and the boldness to face terrible things.

    The material is presented in three parts. The first section introduces students to archaeology and pseudoarchaeology (literally “fake archaeology”), along with the basic concepts of science and anthropology that are necessary for a full understanding of both of these pursuits. In the second part, we apply the lessons of the first section to a series of pseudoarchaeological claims, ranging from the Cardiff Giant and Piltdown hoax to Atlantis and the Crystal Skull. We ask why do people make such claims, and why does the public embrace them? The third part surveys the real marvels of the ancient past, from Easter Island and Machu Picchu to Stonehenge and the Great Zimbabwe. We…

    History. Simply explained, history can be resumed as “the study of past events”. Crammed into every education system, history is required in every single school (ranging from elementary, middle, or high schools; even including universities). Unfortunately, what they teach in history might not always be exactly what happened. Sometimes inaccurate accounts of past history are due to bias in historiography. Most often this can be due to a historian’s bias of favoring one side of the story because agrees with their personal, cultural, or just general interests. To give a specific example on the issue, Howard Zinn, an American historian, stated this about Columbus-era explorers and navigators: “To emphasize the heroism of Columbus and his successors as navigators and discovers, and to deemphasize their genocide, is not a technical necessity but an ideological choice. It serves -unwittingly- to justify what was done.” The essence of Zinn’s quote is definitely a fundamental truth; people accept what benefits them more and attempt to hide what doesn’t. Zinn was displeased in the way history was being told and took action into pointing out the whole truth. Historians should understand Zinn’s position on the topic and follow his example.…

    Krishna’s massage in the Bhagavad Gita is the perfect answer for the modern age. To work without the inner peace of God is Hades; and to work with His joy ever bubbling through is to carry a portable paradise within, whenever one goes. The path advocated by Krishna in the Bhagawad Gita is the moderate, medium, golden path for peace. The Gita’s wisdom is not for dry intellectualist of dogmatists but rather to show a man. It shows us how to live a balanced life to gain inner peace.…

    When one reads a religious text other than their own, remembering to stay objective is necessary, because if one add their personal feelings and beliefs into the reading they will easily miss the message, forever living in a state of ignorance. The Bhagavad Gita (Song of God) is a philosophical discourse on the duties and the meaning of life and death. Many believe this text holds specific instructions on how to please God and stay in his favor. Either argument can be made because the Bhagavad Gita does both; helping one deal with daily life struggles and giving them a better understanding of what is happening, while simultaneously pleasing God. But is this all the Bhagavad Gita entail? A text with a bunch of touchy verses, telling it’s followers how to feel and think? The state of objectivity will help one break the religious barriers and grasp the full message of the Gita.…
