Scholars Around The World About Our Ancient Wisdom

"We do not appreciate what we have" - It is a very true psychological fact. It applies to all facets of life and the same rule holds good for our knowledge and wisdom too. In this simple post, I have tried to compile the views of scholars around the World about our ancient scriptures and wisdom. I have not provided a "quick view" because of the nature of this post. Instead I have presented this only with picture quotes and website links for further references.

There is no kind of framework within which we can find consciousness in the plural; this is simply something we construct because of the temporal plurality of individuals, but it is a false construction..... The only solution to this conflict insofar as any is available to us at all lies in the ancient wisdom of the Upanishad.

Vedanta teaches that consciousness is singular, all happenings are played out in one universal consciousness and there is no multiplicity of selves.

Long before it became a scientific aspiration to estimate the age of the earth, many elaborate systems of the world chronology had been devised by the sages of antiquity. The most remarkable of these occult time-scales is that of the ancient Hindus, whose astonishing concept of the earth's duration has been traced back to manusmriti, a sacred book.
When the Hindu calculation of the present age of the earth and the expanding universe is so astonishing, the precision with which the hindu calculation regarding the age of the entire universe was made would make any man spellbound.
