Immensity of a Village

Our world, the mother Earth, was formed long ago than we can imagine; that is 4.543 billion years estimated by the scientists. 3.8 billion years ago life originated and 2.1 billion years ago eukaryotes evolved.
The human ancestors have been around for 6 million years, the modern form of humans only evolved about 200,000 years ago. But the civilization as we know in our human history is only 6,000 years old. But that is not only is it?
Industrialization started in 1800s and  rest is a history. Industrialization transformed our cities and the world we see today is because of this great age of ideas.

How did the civilizations began and when? It is still something which is debatable. We started from hunters and gatherers to Nomadic lifestyle and later shift to permanent settlements, that's when the civilization began.  It all started from clustered communities and an idea of settled lifestyle; its also the origin of living closely with the families and friends.

With villages the whole idea of religion, god and governance began. Humans diverted from their ancestors and chose the advanced forms of living.
"Advancement is an illusion of human's mind"; we might think we are advanced civilization now which might not be the truth. The Egyptians, Mesopotamians, Sindhis, Greeks and Romans also thought themselves to be the most advance in some point of time. Advancement means moving forward for a purposeful life, but what if there is nothing really like moving forward and backwards? The world will be finished someday, the planet isn't eternal, stars have life and our life compared to these stars is not even a millisecond. Finally the Earth is a tiny particle of dust in a cluster among many clusters of this universe which will be finished within a blink of Andromeda Galaxy.

So what really is advancement? It is being aware of who we are and our purposes.
So Mesopotamia is a Cradle of Civilization? No. Village is a cradle of civilization. Village is a place where the Mythology, History, Architecture, Science, Ayurveda and medicines, Agriculture, Governance and Economy was born. Village is also a place which gave birth to a city through constant  evolution and transformation. It is very important for humans to realize the immensity of a village because that is where we come from.
Village is that place which is still intact with it's rich history, culture and traditions. It may remind us of a time where there was no concept of nation and divisions. It is that space which gives you a feeling of timelessness.

Anegundi

To know the detailed history and mythology of the place one must itself talk to the indigenous population of that place to learn better about the village. The whereabouts of the place, mythology related to the beautiful kingdom of Kishkindha and Vijaynagar Empire history shall be shared to all the sincere blog readers in detail in the next few upcoming posts along with the present conditions of Anegundi.

Is Logic styling itself into Dogma?

  We all have grown up grown up listening to our teachers, professors and from over all academia and even reading about it that how Dharmic stories are fictional or if refined further with a seeker attitude that these Puranic stories are personification of certain elements or attributes. Puranas and Vedas for obvious reasons appear out to be completely fictional to the rational human mind and it is obvious. People find it comparatively easy to digest other 2 Itihaas documents/poetry like Ramayana and Mahabharata while Puranas appear to be more abstract to the human mind. The major question arises here, is it personification of certain concepts to teach lessons to the humans or is it all real? Art by Develv (Deviant Art): Portfolio. Majority of the people will go out with the first option because of the in drilled “scientific temperament” by the institutions which are the reservoir of coloniality in Bharat and rest of the world. It compels you to weigh the stories with the lens o...

Metamorphosis Of Aryavarth

Synonym of Time Metamorphosis of Aryavarth  History has always been written by the conquerors in the world. It is a subject used by the rulers, colonials and the conquerors to set up a narrative which works itself to fit in the ideology of Grand Narrative . Grand Narrative is a tool used by all the successful leaders, nations, kingdoms, and companies in general for a strong identity. Identity plays an important role in a nation building and civilizational essence. Until and unless civilizational essence is added to the nation building, the nation remains as good as identity-less built on borrowed up identity pillars of the colonial countries. Colonialism is of two types again; one is the direct colonialism and second is the Intellectual Colonialism. Artwork by- Arsalan Khan History has always been biased, a tool for triggering an agenda by the colonials and conquerors. Similarly, the history which we g...

Aryavarth Descends

Synonym of Time Part two How Aryavarth started collapsing: Kurus, Bharatvarshis, Mlechhs of North, Suryavanshis and Chandravarshis. Fall of Yadavas of Dwarka, loss of knowledge- Incantations, Bhramastra, celestial weapons. Return of gods to their own planets and human civilization left on their own to grow.  Artwork by-  Duc Haahn Trinh . Aryavarth in general is a term for the northern part of India, Pakistan, East Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Assam. This doesn’t mean that the “Dakshina” (Southern India) was never a part of Bharat Civilization. Aryavarth is the geographical region where the Civilized Kingdoms, Vedic kingdoms existed. As the name Arya means noble and civilized (in Sanskrit), Aryavarth simply meant the region of major Civilization. Aryan and Dravidian are not a separate race as Max Muller suggested. The theory has been debunked by the recent DNA study in Rakhagarhi Project. Theory of Aryan Dravidian was a construct to divide the society...
