The Hindu view of modern science
Friday, November 9th, 2007
 Hinduism as Sanatana Dharma, a universal way of knowledge does not require that we reject science or return to medieval superstitions. For example, Hinduism does not require that we believe that the world was created 6000 years ago, nor is it opposed to the theory of evolution, which it long ago formulated in a spiritual way as an evolution not merely of form but of consciousness.
Sanatana Dharma recognizes the validity of all forms of knowledge. Yet it says that knowledge is of two types. The lower knowledge - based on name, form and number - can only help us understand the outer world. It cannot reveal our True Nature or help us discover the Eternal.

To anybody familiar with Hindu lore, the Bhils need no introduction. These forest dwellers have dwelt in the forests of central, northern and western India for thousands of years. They are mentioned in the Ramayana and Mahabharata. In the Ramayana, a Bhil king acted as boatman to Rama in the early section of his exile from Ayodhya, and Shabari, that famous devotee of Rama, dwelt in a quiet hermitage, belonged to the Bhil community. She lived her life in the expectation that the Avatar would visit her one day - and indeed he did, eating the berries she had collected for him. The Bhils are probably the oldest community of the forests. They can be fearsome - and never let a tresspasser cross their land without inflicting a serious injury on them.

It is a remake of a Malayalam movie, Manichitrathazhu, but with significant changes to the plot to make it more realistic.
