The modern Indian people seem to have less respect and honor for the past generations. It also gives thus a lesser value and worth to ancestors and History of India. In the blog post, we discuss how the Indians have been influenced by imitation of modern educational systems that we have people doing without research. The academics in India promote imitation and thus the real developments of west has not yet touched the shores of Indian Oceans hiding their tides of wisdom in the Indian libraries.

This blog post is as if bookmark from Facebook and includes points that are there in the discussion of mine with my friend Bent: http://www.facebook.com/dr.harmandersingh/posts/3862862287170?comment_id=4531195

We can always share our opinions and views:

The reason for not accepting Freudian Psychology is not that he was atheist as its a personal matter.

In the Indian Schools of Philosophy, the Logic and Atheism has the same respect as one, who does believe in God as an theist. The Buddhism for example does not believe in God, but it has the same status as other religions and Lord Buddha is respected and revered as 9th reincarnation of Lord Vishnu means the Vishnu himself. The previous Incarnations were Lord Krishna and Lord Rama respectively.

The point that you may kindly consider why Indian Thinkers and Philosophers and others including spirituals and religious people say wrong about Freudian Psychology has a strong point of view to say that he spoiled the youth and teen by saying all the diseases from biology to psychology comes from parents through heredity.

It resulted in youth going against their own heredity and thus the parents and the families. It was entirely against the Indian Philosophies. We understand when sperm and egg meet in the womb, the life starts when say a soul enters into it keep it alive from womb to tomb. One dies when that vital energy called soul leaves the body. It according to Indian Studies and Beliefs is not part of the human biology otherwise it would have always lived in the biological mummies of the Egyptian Civilization, is not it!

This Indian belief was distorted as soul is not considered in the Freudian Psychology. The next point was that medically from parents and heredity, we can easily trace the problem one can face in biology, physiology, psychology and lot more related to an individual. The youth also turned against it and started to blame their own people.

As you are a wise and learned person, you know that it is not just an opinion, but that Indians are still facing. It differs from the problem of the cast system in India.

The caste system is part of Indian Theory of Evolution, which says that human gain evolution in groups rather than individually. This is categorical evolution, which I mean to say following what parents have been doing.

It helps in the genetic development of the group living in the similar environment. It has serious concern if one is adopted by other caste group or one follows other group that differs in the category of work, namely, the spiritual or mental, the knowledgeable called Brahmins or the Educated ones, the skilled people doing defense and security related works and business as self-employed including the farmers of any kind, these are called Kshtriayas, the businessmen and people dealing with commerce as these are the financial planners, and they need different kind of training and environment, they are categorized as Vaishaya as you know, the last are physically strong and can do more than average work, and its the physical labor class, they are Shudras.

Now, all of the schools, colleges and universities offers degrees and works places are also designed accordingly for all of these categorical division of human qualities and talents. When we use aptitude tests we notice that not all can go into the same categorical studies and works.

As a politician, officer or even as a civilian, one can do biasing and discrimination against other categories and even the fellows due to non-philosophical attitude. For example a white color person may not like labor works.

The labor class deals with manual works and thus need to wash their hands and feet and even the whole body, so slowly it was developed into kind of untouchable sub-categories.

It is said to happen in every age, and Indians believe that all saints, holy people, thinkers, philosophers and the prophets come remind that philosophically all of it is wrong and one need to practice philosophy that we usually know as the Six Schools of Philosophy.

In this context religion and faith does not matter but the category of work one does for evolution of self, group and thus community. The other point is that heredity plays a big role. In this context Freudian Psychology supported the Industrial Revolutions in a way that slowly has put Indian Home and Caste based works to an extinction.

Thus, it is something as if degeneration of Indian Civilization. People like Mahatma Gandhi contributed to keep Indians works as they are like using the cotton and the Khaadi. All of it was to keep Indian families self-dependent. Now, in the name of modernization and globalization, people have almost left doing the works according to aptitude and thus bribe and corruption changed Indian people. The excessive use of technology is leading teen and youth to do no work but claim that all problems were created by the previous generations.

One of the research paper I found with Google Search: Freudian Psychology,Indians: http://www.remedyspot.com/articles/226-psychology-bhagavad-gita.html, and the Holy Gita does not differ from Vedas and other Indian Scriptures and thus the Six Schools of Indian Philosophy.

Indian Philosophies Believe in Soul and God: An Appeal to Indian Psychologists and Psychiatrists - 1

Philosophy is a bridge between Science and Religion has been my theme work. I worked on it from my high schools times, but it was mainly started from the University of Adelaide, South Australia in 1990. Prof. Gill, who was head of the Department of Philosophy at that time advised me to write at least 15 books to prove it.


"Even then its possible that half of the thinkers accept and others reject it," he said smilingly.


This week I had a little discussion about it with Bent at the Facebook that goes as follows:


An Appeal to Psychologists and Psychiatrists in the Modern India: The Indian Psychology is similar to Humanistic Psychology in which a human and other living ones are highly respected and none is called or labeled as a patient but mentally or physically unwell. Its because it accepts that all are souls.

For me honesty is the highest level of any religion and faith, and it does not matter if an honest person believes in God or not. We Indians usually say something negative about Modern Psychology as developed by an Atheist Freud as it does not recognize soul or God at all, but human as a selfish gene always wishing something... we may never understand that the Grace is not by Deserving and thus death of religiosity in India if Freud is the only right authority on the subject matter. I hope it clarifies why we as Indians sometimes write few words opposing what harms the Philosophy and thus the Civilization of India.


Freud's work forms a MAJOR PORTION of the foundation of modern psychology. Sigmund Freud was an avowed atheist, who believed in the evolutionary process of life. Freud was a devout Christ-rejecter. Freud is quoted as saying...

"Neither in my private life nor in my writings, have I ever made a secret of being an out and out unbeliever."
...
The father of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud is best known for his tendency to trace nearly all psychological problems back to sexual issues. In my opinion, it motivates the doctors in India to follow it the Doctrine of Mental Health. (With thanks from the source: http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/False%20Religions/Humanism/psychology.htm)


In the Indian Philosophies, the soul is not described as something that one cannot understand. The word Darshan or the Darshna is the most popular term for it.

The Darshan is to see what ONE is.

This what only humans can do. this is the essence of Philosophy in India to recognize that the Soul sees what one is. This has another name and term in the metaphysics. Its the Drishta.

The Drishta means that the Inner Sight that Sees what one is and also what one sees, observes and experiences. It does matter if one understand what soul but how it works. It helps to see as an observer, and that is enough to help any human to be a thinker philosophically.

Yes, Carl Jung gives insight into it, but Freud and other modern psychologists and atheists ignore it without understanding the term SOUL. It is not consciousness or conscience and even the intellect, but what helps to SEE and OBSERVE all of it.

This has nothing to do with any religion and or faith one follows. For example, Saint Paul says in his letters to the Romans that even the Gentiles, who do not believe in the God know what is the Law, the concept of right and or of wrong.

We usually call it voice of conscience but it is bit higher than that as it gives all humans the sense of equality and fullness of what a human really is, and thus we do not need to label it, the soul. We need to understand it rather as it is. The other point is that psychology does not really teach it as it considers human a psychological animal.

All of Indian Philosophies support one first to accept that one is a human, the soul means that one can observe what one is.


I feel it important to add that Freudian Psychology in the context I have described above has harmed Indian Civilization to almost all the highest possible levels of intellectual and emotional maturity one can have, and that is what we had before 1980's. Its thus seemingly among the major causes of corruption as it drives one to believe that one has emotions and the intellect as the helper to fulfill any desire or wish... leaving one philosophically immature for the rest of life as its very difficult to overcome this unhealthy or immature state of mind. One seems to become grabber rather than a giver, and thus what we call death of conscience... but its not of soul, the observer that knows it, is not it.


In other words, I mean the death of conscience (as we say or call it) is not the death of one's soul, the observer within us.


When the soul as an observer accepts that conscience is dead but one keeps proving that one has conscience alive and keeps doing what one does not say, and thus says what one does not do with conscience as alive in the above context is called SIN in the Indian Scriptures embracing Indian Philosophies. Thus, in such cases only confession is enough to free our self from the physical, emotional, mental and other sins. The religious doctrines differ in it the concepts of SIN at the many levels including the spiritual or religious, but we cannot ignore it as legally such acts are usually crimes, bad motive or intention and so on. So, soul as observer can guide one... on the journey of life, is not it.


It is thus one of the major reason that I write about harms of artificial intelligence, the AI that uses all of it as if the black magic causing the graving suffering to all.


Many seem to claim that eating meat is bad, but the True Indian Philosophies advice that even the seeds like wheat and corn can sprout life, vegetables can give new seeds that can produce fruits and thus life. Even though the humans are philosophical in nature, we can offer our thanks even to the seeds and all that we eat and drink that can produce life. The original or native people offer thanksgiving to what one eats and drinks at least 5 times a day, its called daily havna or yagna. We have been doing it in India from ages as in the Six Schools of Philosophy. These can feel pain and pleasure.

We can coexist with them. If we consider something of worst kind as universal suffering, its not disposing the dead parts of any living body so that the bio-energy of it does not suffer.

This suffering is almost never ending as parts of the dead bodies with bones and flesh remain in deep suffering that causes grave suffering. The Indian Philosophy (the Philosophy of Science to say) thus advices not to practice any experiment on the living things that causes suffering and thus its worse than SIN. Its is called a spiritual sin, a sin against the soul, the bio-energies that drive life in the universe as on our earth.

Even though modern people may not seem to believe in the soul, its the suffering of the consciousnesses that makes one feel pain and pleasure. The modern technology has promoted this black magic as the Indian Philosophers and Thinkers call it. Its the misuse of technology that integrates the suffering of the living ones with any technological equipment including the computers. That is one of the reasons that the Indians oppose it from centuries.


The knowledge cannot change anything metaphysically, so nature makes a great difference within and outside! I never rely on knowledge as its not power, but inner silence and peace is, is not it.


Its as if a cloud in the sky can thunder and rain, but it goes off the sky as dream goes off when we wake up, so is knowledge to us, and we cannot change the sky/space and that is what gives something to share ... the next dream, imagination and or idea that we always share when awake and its a great humanly joy metaphysically.

Lord Rama and Ravana: How and Why Vedic Means Sanatana or Eternal Laws and Principles of Nature, Universe and Spirit: My TV Serial on India as Civilization - 2

The Vedic Indian Civilization is not something that can change with time. It is based on the Eternal Laws and Principles.  The word eternal is not a religious or a kind of fundamentalism that one can force others to believe or follow. It is based on the scientific study of the natural world in the universe. It starts with creation of the universe and of life in it as well.

We usually avoid the using of excessive proofs in Indian Classical methods of research. The Indian research works are based on human study without the use of machines, tools and equipments. The reason for it is that the Indian works follow it not for science and technology, but rather for the joy of doing so metaphysically. Thus, most of Indians particularly in the rural areas, the villages do not ask for proofs.

They do not follow anything blindly but as metaphysical understanding inclines towards the faith, which is essence of philosophy, they leave the logic and proofs. It helps Indians to accept Will of God or nature, the natural laws and principles that is not same as luck and destiny. The changing of luck, destiny and fortune is by following the natural laws and principles that is called the Daily Karma, the Nitya Karma or Nitnem. This is also known as the Purushartha.

This is what is common in India when people say why one is trying to prove what we trust and respect. It is something pretending. The faith is feelings of reverence that we do not seemingly need to alter with knowledge and logic so that modern science and technology can establish its market, yes the global market.

We always need science and technology to facilitate human life in the natural world, but what about the pollution and side affects it causes does matter a lot.

It seems our rushing too fast is something that is philosophically blind.

The Indian Civilization has always focused on the Kingdom of God as the Rama Rajya as proposed by many including Mahatma Gandhi.

According to Indian Scriptures like the Holy Ramayana, the Vedic Knowledge was spread in the world and the country in the neighborhood of India, Sri Lanka used it to have full knowledge in almost all fields and faculties of human knowledge.

The Ravana, who was a foreigner to India but due to his mastery in the Vedic knowledge he is respected as most knowledgeable scholar of Vedas. Even Lord Rama respected and honored his mastery of Vedas.

His departure from earth did not leave that Vedic Knowledge and Wisdom vanished. It has been proved by many as the truth that only humans can gain. Among them is the Swami Vivekananda.

The point is that the Vedic Knowledge and Wisdom is Philosophically in nature. It has Six Schools of Indian Philosophy, so it does not embrace the world religions and faiths as they are in the context of religions as such.

The Vedic knowledge is called the Darshna, which has as higher level as the religion because it does not deal with the Action or Karma Theories, and is thus Philosophy. We need to consider it in the context.
