Spirituality versus Scientific Consciousness: Research on Scientific Awareness and Spirituality

Very few people say, "Recognize the danger, don't be deceived, open your eyes." That is why these inequalities still persist in society. Why do some people lean toward God, toward spirituality, toward blind faith? Why do others want to stand in opposition to that — wanting to increase rationality in society, take into account biological evolution and human achievements, and live by humane values? Don't all human beings have the same thinking brain? Why has this internal war been going on in the human intellect since time immemorial? Must this conflict continue forever? In search of answers to these questions, some recent research has been conducted. Several hundred men and women had their brains scanned and studied. The details were published by the organization PLOS ONE. Through this research, scientists learned that differences in brain structure are one reason people behave so differently, while another reason is the way the brain is made to function, or how it is...

The Need for Science Writing Is Always Great!

From the beginning, there has always been a great distance between the scientist and the common person. A scientist publishes the results of his experiments, but these appear in national and international science journals that are not accessible to ordinary people. Even when they are accessible, the technical and scientific terms scientists use are not understood by them. As a result, the average person leans toward fantasy literature that offers temporary, colorful dreams, rather than toward "scientific literature" that speaks of nature's mysteries and human achievements. Those who believe in palmistry, horoscopes, and auspicious timings continue to believe in them, even risking their lives in the process. Superstitions and belief in the theory of karma have still not disappeared. The heads of government bear no small responsibility for this. Therefore, the need to write science for the common person remains as great as ever. For a nation to achieve progress in social, ...

History is not about proving faith: It is about examining the available evidence

  History is not about proving faith. It is about examining the available evidence. The Vishnu Purana is said to be an extremely ancient text. But historically, some questions require answers backed by clear evidence. If the Vishnu Purana is truly an extremely ancient text, why have manuscripts of it not been found so far in ancient scripts such as Brahmi, Kharosthi, or Gupta Brahmi? Why is there no mention of the Vishnu Purana in the writings of Faxian (Fa-Hien), who came to India in the 5th century CE? Why is there no mention of the Vishnu Purana in the writings of Xuanzang (Hiuen Tsang), who came to India in the 7th century CE? Why do inscriptions found from the 1st century CE to the 10th century CE not contain any clear reference to a text called the Vishnu Purana? Why is the oldest dated manuscript of the Vishnu Purana currently available dated to 1207 CE? Why do some currently available textual variants contain words such as Mlechchhas or Turushkas ? Where is the co...

When lies and blind faith become allies of power…

  Dr. Devaraju Maharaju Speaks: Albert Einstein once said, “Three powerful forces rule the world — stupidity, fear, and greed.” If we replace “the world” with “our country,” everything becomes clear. Our non-biological leader’s hatred knows no bounds — evident in his August 15, 2024 speech from the Red Fort, where he claimed, “Our civil code so far has been a communal civil code.” That statement insults Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, who introduced major reforms in Hindu personal law in the 1950s despite fierce opposition from the RSS and Jana Sangh. He once said he would open Subhas Chandra Bose’s file — and when he did, the first line read: “The RSS is dangerous to the nation.” The file was closed, and so was his mouth. Sudhanshu Trivedi, BJP MP, even claimed “Mahatma Gandhi’s name appears in Epstein’s files.” But Gandhi died in 1948, and Jeffrey Epstein was born in 1953 — five years later! How could a man born after Gandhi’s death record his misdeeds? Absurd — yet typical of BJP intellect...

Judicial Transfer Protocols and the Erosion of Bench-Bar Integrity

Contextual Framework of Judicial Appointments and Transfers The strategic movement of judges between High Courts is a procedural necessity intended to safeguard judicial independence and optimize the distribution of legal expertise across the Republic. In an ideal framework, these administrative shifts are not merely logistical but are fundamental to maintaining the internal stability of the courts and the public’s enduring trust in the "temple of justice." Under the Indian Constitution, the authority for such reassignments is codified in  Article 222 , which empowers the President to transfer a judge from one High Court to another. This provision was historically grounded in an "Exchange of Talent" philosophy—a mechanism to cross-pollinate the judiciary with diverse legal perspectives and national integration. However, the contemporary application of this power increasingly deviates toward "Administrative Necessity," characterized by "out-of-the-...

RSS: An Organization Built Entirely on Copying Others

Prof. Devaraju Maharaju, Member of the National Book Trust  The Great Copy-Paste: How RSS Borrowed Its Identity from Nazis, Communists, and More Nothing Original: Unmasking RSS's Borrowed Ideology From Nazi Uniforms to Communist Slogans — Is RSS an Original Idea or Just a Copy? Why Should RSS Register? A Deeper Look at Its Copied Foundations There's an intense debate going on in the country about the RSS organization not being registered. But what I feel is, why should it need to register? For example, there are many organizations in the world that aren't registered — take the Taliban, is that registered? There's ISIS, is that registered? There's Boko Haram, that's not registered either, yet they continue their activities uninterrupted, don't they? So in that case, why is this demand being made that RSS register itself? Isn't it an organization of the same kind? Moreover, it doesn't appear to us anywhere that the people working in it have their own b...
