Attempting to be स्थितप्रज्ञ equipoised floating across the spectrum of navarasa while experiencing this human life

I came across this lovely channel on YouTube - Bhajans Babies.
The animation is interesting and in sync with contemporary life to secure their attention and interest.
Not a fan of screens for kids but might make an exception for this one. 😃

Your body is not a temple.
It is a radio.
It receives signals from dimensions you cannot name, and death is just the antenna breaking.
The broadcast continues.
You were never the receiver.
You are the song being played on a station that has no beginning and no end.

Binary numbers invented in India!
1010110. They are the foundational for Computer Science.

In 200 BCE, a Hindu scholar is trying to solve a poetry problem.

How many ways can you make a line of 3 syllables, if each syllable can be short or long?

That question becomes binary code.

Acharya Pingala, younger brother of Panini as per by tradition, is writing the Chandahshastra, the science of meters.

Every Sanskrit shloka must fit a meter. He wants to classify all possible meters.

He invents a system:

* Laghu = short syllable = 0
* Guru = long syllable = 1

He then asks:

For a 1-syllable meter, what are the combinations?

L, G - 2

For 2 syllables?
LL, LG, GL, GG - 4

For 3?
LLL, LLG, LGL, LGG, GLL, GLG, GGL, GGG - 8

This is binary counting, 2,200 years before Leibniz.

He writes Sutra 8.32: "prastāre laghu-guru" - layout with laghu and guru. In his method, he explicitly describes how to generate all patterns by adding L and G systematically

EXACTLY how a modern computer counts in binary: 000, 001, 010, 011...

Then he does more.

In Sutras 8.34-35, he describes Meru Prastara - what you see as the triangle of pebbles and sticks in the picture.

That is Pascal's Triangle, 1,800 years BEFORE Pascal.

He uses it to answer: how many 6-syllable meters have exactly 2 longs?

The answer is in the Meru.

And then, Sutra 8.28: he describes how to calculate 2^n - the number of ALL combinations.

His method: double repeatedly, using a process called sankhya.

This is the earliest known explicit algorithm for binary exponentiation.

And Sutra 8.31: how to find the binary representation of a number - his method of division by 2.

Leibniz, in 1703, will publish binary and claim he invented it. But Leibniz is 1,900 years late.

Pingala wasn't building a computer. He was describing how to write a poem in Gayatri meter.

Poetry needed math. Math became binary.

What you see in the painting (the pebbles as laghu (short), sticks as guru (long), arranged in a triangle) is LITERALLY the FIRST COMPUTER CODE, laid out on an earth floor in 200 BCE.

Every 0 and 1 in your phone exists because a man in ancient India wanted to count the ways to say a verse.

O Hindus ! Do not take this lying down. Sept 11 Amāvasyā - make a heartfelt tarpanam for the departed mataji of @Chinmoykrishnad! 😭
Take it to the Spiritual Plane and let Karma unfold.

She was standing under a tree in an Assam village when a man cut it down.

9 baby birds fell to the ground in front of her. Some were injured. Some died there.

She stopped her PhD that year and did not go back to it for more than a decade.

Her name is Purnima Devi Barman.

She was born in 1980 in Pub Majir Gaon, a village on the bank of the Brahmaputra in Assam. Her grandmother used to sing to her about the birds in the paddy fields and taught her to tell the different storks apart.

She studied zoology at Gauhati University and began a PhD in 2007 on the greater adjutant stork, which people in Assam call the hargila, meaning bone swallower.

It is one of the rarest storks in the world. It stands about 5 feet tall, it is bald, and it eats carrion and rubbish. In 2007 the number left in Assam was estimated at around 450.

The problem was not poaching. It was that people hated it.

Villagers thought it was dirty, thought it smelled, and thought it was a bad omen. They threw stones at the birds. They cut down the trees the birds nested in, or tried to smoke them out. As one report put it, people would rather cut down their own trees than live near them.

She did not fight the villagers. She worked out that the birds could only be saved if the people around them wanted them there.

So she went to the women.

Her own words about the start of it are worth repeating. Men would dismiss her, she said. The women would laugh at her, but they would invite her into the house, and they would listen.

She held cooking competitions in backyards and talked about the bird while they cooked. She got theatre groups to write plays about it. She had the stork woven into textiles. She organised baby showers for hargila chicks, so that a nesting tree became something a family celebrated rather than something they resented.

She told villagers the bird could have gone to any village in Assam, and it chose theirs.

The women became the Hargila Army. It started small. It now has more than 20,000 members.

Since 2010, she says, not a single nesting tree has been cut in those villages. The women planted 45,000 saplings and rescued more than 500 chicks that fell from nests. Nests in one colony in Kamrup district went from about 30 to over 250.

The stork population in Assam has gone from around 450 to more than 1,800.

In December 2023 the International Union for Conservation of Nature moved the species off the endangered list.

She was given the Whitley Award in 2017 and the Whitley Gold Award in 2024, which people call the Green Oscar. India gave her the Nari Shakti Puraskar. Time named her one of its Women of the Year in 2025.

The women in those villages, who once laughed at her, are now the reason the bird exists.

Prārabdha killed Abhimanyu.

According to Drona, the boy was unslayable.

Abhimanyu had defeated Shalya, Bhurishravas, Karna, Kritavarma, Duryodhana, Dushasana, Vikarna, Ashwatthama and Kripa, several of them repeatedly in single combat and even when they fought him together.

He had decimated the Madra army and slain its princes. He had destroyed Alambusha’s Rakshasa force. Karna, in particular, was tormented by him, fainting twice and falling from his chariot twice. He had to take cover behind other chariots merely to reach Drona.

So the Kaurava warriors stopped fighting him as warriors.

Remaining concealed, they struck different parts of his chariot. One attacked the wheel, another the horses, another the charioteer, while another struck Abhimanyu from behind. Only then was his chariot brought to a halt.

Yet Abhimanyu had to leave at sixteen.

Not because he lacked valour. Not because his enemies were greater warriors.

He was second only to Abhimanyu. Even Bhishma acknowledged the fact on the very first day of the war when he had to run away from Abhimanyu.

It was his prārabdha.

I have described this episode, and the extraordinary scale of Abhimanyu’s final battle, in great detail in my book #Shauryakarman.

We are not alone. Infinite sentient worlds already exist throughout the cosmos, yet creation is never exhausted.

As the universe unfolds, new worlds and new expressions of consciousness arise without end.

And though your scale may seem infinitesimally small beside the immensity of the cosmos, your thoughts matter.

A single thought, crystallised into saṅkalpa, can reverberate across existence and permanently alter the structure of the universe.

Indian ancients figured out ultimate mental reset 3,000 years ago.

They called Sri Rudram.
Not meditation, not breathwork, not journaling.

A 45 minute sonic protocol that dissolves your ego, rewires your nervous system and rebuilds your desires from scratch.

Here's why billionaires, monks and neuroscientists are equally and quietly obsessed:
