Applied Samkhya - Report on Practical Demonstration of Gravity Motor - Electric Power generation



This is a report covering three points : 
(a)  Applied Samkhya yielding a scientifically verifiable,  socially beneficial unit 
(b) Based on Technical Samskrutham (- Not historical Sanskrit or computational linguistics models ! Certainly Not on Monier Williams ) 
(c )  New way of validating Modern Science and advancing based on Technical Samskrutham, which is also Yoga-Samskrutham.

Action request is : Please explore the claims of G.Srinivasan by visting the links; Please let me know how may we plan further collaborative work on this.


Report Details

Sri G.Srinivasan, at Kotagiri, near Ooty (  Nilgiris ) . is from a traditional south Indian family background, a marine engineer, Industrial engineer,  in the age group of 70 plus. a long time meditator  with deep insights. He has been researching on Samkhya for 40 years


About Srinivasan's work :  Details at -

The device, is a stand alone Electricity generator '.  
around 50 Kg weight / Space occupying 500 square feet or less  which can generate power between 2 to 4 HP-- Also in Portable units model.  

The key operational principle used is  tapping on gravitational and magentic energy, transform and enhance the energy through a mechanism, using ratios derived from Samkhya Sutras. This approach is totally new to modern theoretical physics and Material science related deliberations. And it is certainly a new approach to classical study model of Samkhya based on known university courses.

G.Srinivasan is brining out a new model of 'Sanskrit Document interpretation based on the overall structure'.   How would any one in traditional Sanskrit look at the word ' ekAnta' - literally meaning  'left to be alone, as a singular residue substratum ' - to be understood as  ' kanta ´ - the magnetic energy field. Similarly, apa-varga, abhi-ghata are technical words of Samkhya, carrying a translation as ' Salvation ,  Destruction' ; But for Srinivasan, these were pointers to the Mathematics of Samkhya  with emergent meanings :Varga = Square, Ghata = Exponentiation -   and with this insight, design of a machine.

Why is this an innovation in Language perspective interpretation for  Vedic Science study ?   When G.Srinivasan picks up this thread of exploration, makes hypothesis, designs and demonstrates an  electricity generator in this physical world with the magnets, coils and wires,  provides methodology and  measures of the input- process- output sequence,  there is a build of  DATA.

This data can be explained by Samkhya theory , as interpreted mathematically by G.Srinivasan; The same data falls out of the known models of Modern Theoretical physics, and physical energy forces modelling used ; G.Srinivasan provides the mathematical basis which meets the rigour of analysis and consistent with the known established maths behind current sciences  and nature's phenomenon.

There is nothing that says '- You can experience only in meditation, after long years of  Guru-seva and grace of Divine' ; Internet and cell-phone  work as Padartha-Dharma and Prakruti Dharma ; The veracity of 'God- Causation regulation postulates ' do not disturb the  phenomenon ! The 'brand-acharya- institution '  allegiance will not come in the way of appreciating the Veda-Vijnana - ( As a practical course, we can keep our Jnana deliberations on 'brand-acharya'  lane of  on Veda to a different  room  of discussion and special benefits of it).

7.      This phenomenon, as Applied Samkhya can help good living in the current period. This is the  significance of G.Srinivasan's work.

8.      There are many researchers who have explored this line of intra-energy transformations between magnetism- electromagnetic - gravitational  forms. And some of them have no background of Vedic Sciences. Even such researchers have brought out gadgets. The question remains :How sound is the hypothesis / theory behind these ? Would they lead to any better understanding of Natures (prakruti) and Purpose of   Life ( Bhoga -Apavarga) ?  In this present case, there  is a practical unit which can show-explain the  claims of textual tradition in a measurable way  and in the 'laboratory'- ( a place carefully avoided by religion-faith teams !) .

It is now for us as a team to bring to global fore the good work done by G.Srinivasan and see how the cause of Vedic Sciences - yoga-samskrutham can be furthered. For which work, Yoga-Samskrutham University,  USA can be a facilitator  for dialogue and further exploration.

Why does my child study Sanskrit? Ireland, New Zealand

 Irish Daily
 Why does my child study Sanskrit?
 by Rutger Kortenhorst

 Rutger Kortenhorst, a Sanskrit teacher in John Scottus School in
 Dublin, Ireland, speaks to parents of his school children on the value
 of teaching Sanskrit to children, based on his own experience with the
 language.

 Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen, we are going to spend an hour
 together looking at the topic 'Why does my child study Sanskrit in
 John Scottus?' My bet is that at the end of the hour you will all have
 come to the conclusion that your children are indeed fortunate that
 this extraordinary language is part of their curriculum.

 Firstly, let us look at Why Sanskrit for my child? We are the only
 school in Ireland doing this language, so this will need some
 explaining.

 There are another 80 JSS-type schools in UK and also around the world
 that have made the same decision to include Sanskrit in their
 curriculum (they are all off-shoots from the School of Philosophy).

 Secondly, how is Sanskrit taught? You may have noticed your son or
 daughter singing Sanskrit grammar songs in the back of the car just
 for the fun of it on the way home from school. I'll spend some time
 telling you HOW we approach teaching Sanskrit now since my learning
 from India.

 But Why Sanskrit?

 To answer that we need to look at the qualities of Sanskrit. Sanskrit
 stands out above all other languages for its beauty of sound,
 precision in pronunciation and reliability as well as thoroughness in
 every aspect of its structure. This is why it has never fundamentally
 changed unlike all other languages. It has had no need to change being
 the most perfect language of Mankind ever.

 If we consider Shakespeare's English, we realize how different and
 therefore difficult for us his English language was although it is
 just English from less than 500 years ago. We struggle with the
 meaning of Shakespeare's English or that of the King James Bible. Go
 back a bit further and we don't have a clue about the English from the
 time of Chaucer's 'Pilgrim's Progress' from around 700 AD. We cannot
 even call this English anymore and now rightly call it Anglo-Saxon. So
 English hadn't even been born!

 All languages keep changing beyond recognition. They change because
 they are defective. The changes are in fact corruptions. They are born
 and die after seven or eight hundred years -about the lifetime of a
 Giant Redwood Tree- because after so much corruption they have no life
 left in them.

 Surprisingly there is one language in the world that does not have
 this short lifespan. Sanskrit is the only exception. It is a
 never-dying constant. The reason for the constancy in Sanskrit is that
 it is completely structured and thought out. There is not a word that
 has been left out in its grammar or etymology, which means every word
 can be traced back to where it came from originally. This does not
 mean there is no room for new words either. Just as in English we use
 older concepts from Greek and Latin to express modern inventions like
 a television: 'tele [far] - vision [seeing]' or 'compute -er'.

 Sanskrit in fact specializes in making up compound words from smaller
 words and parts. The word 'Sams - krita' itself means 'completely -
 made'.

 So what advantages are there to a fundamentally unchanging language?
 What is advantageous about an unchanging friend, say? Are they
 reliable? What happens if you look at a text in Sanskrit from
 thousands of years ago?

 The exceptional features of Sanskrit have been recognised for a few
 centuries all over the world, so you will find universities from many
 countries having a Sanskrit faculty. Whether you go to Hawai,
 Cambridge or Harvard and even Trinity College Dublin has a seat for
 Sanskrit -although it is vacant at present. May be one of your
 children will in time fill this position again?

 Although India has been its custodian, Sanskrit has had universal
 appeal for centuries. The wisdom carried by this language appeals to
 the West as we can see from Yoga and Ayurvedic Medicine as well as
 meditation techniques, and practical philosophies like Hinduism,
 Buddhism and most of what we  use in the School of Philosophy. It
 supports, expands and enlightens rather than conflicts with local
 traditions and religions.

 The precision of Sanskrit stems from the unparalleled detail on how
 the actual sounds of the alphabet are structured and defined. The
 sounds have a particular place in the mouth, nose and throat that can
 be defined and will never change.

 This is why in Sanskrit the letters are called the 'Indestructibles'
 [aksharáni]. Sanskrit is the only language that has consciously laid
 out its sounds from first principles. So the five mouth-positions for
 all Indestructibles [letters] are defined and with a few clearly
 described mental and physical efforts all are systematically planned:
 [point out chart]

 After this description, what structure can we find in a, b, c, d, e, f
 , g.? There isn't any, except perhaps that it starts with 'a', and
 goes downhill from there.

 Then there is the sheer beauty of the Sanskrit script as we learn it
 today. [Some examples on the board]

 You may well say: 'Fine, but so why should my son or daughter have yet
 another subject and another script to learn in their already busy
 school-day?' In what way will he or she benefit from the study of
 Sanskrit in 2012 in the Western world?

 The qualities of Sanskrit will become the qualities of your child-
 that is the mind and heart of your child will become beautiful,
 precise and reliable.

 Sanskrit automatically teaches your child and anybody else studying it
 to pay FINE attention due to its uncanny precision. When the precision
 is there the experience is, that it feels uplifting. It makes you
 happy. It is not difficult even for a beginner to experience this. All
 you have to do is fine-tune your attention and like music you are
 drawn in and uplifted. This precision of attention serves all
 subjects, areas and activities of life both while in school and for
 the rest of life. This will give your child a competitive advantage
 over any other children. They will be able to attend more fully,
 easily and naturally. Thus in terms of relationships, work, sport- in
 fact all aspects of life, they will perform better and gain more
 satisfaction. Whatever you attend to fully, you excel in and you enjoy
 more.

 By studying Sanskrit, other languages can be learnt more easily; this
 being the language all others borrow from fractionally. The Sanskrit
 grammar is reflected in part in Irish or Greek, Latin or English. They
 all have a part of the complete Sanskrit grammar. Some being more
 developed than others, but always only a part of the Sanskrit grammar,
 which is the only language complete in itself.

 What Sanskrit teaches us that there is a language that is ordered,
 following laws unfailingly and as they are applied your child gets
 uplifted, not only when they grow up, but as they are saying it! This
 means they get an unusual but precise, definite and clear insight into
 language while they are enjoying themselves.

 They learn to speak well, starting from Sanskrit, the mother language
 of all languages. Those who speak well run the world. Barack Obama
 makes a difference because he can speak well. Mahatma Gandhi could
 move huge crowds with well-balanced words. Mother Theresa could
 express herself with simple words which uplift us even now.

 The language of the great Master Teachers of mankind from times past
 is all we have got after centuries and millennia, but they make all
 the difference. We can enter the remarkable mind of Plato through his
 words. If your daughter or son can express themselves well through
 conscious language they will be the leaders of the next generation.

 Sanskrit has the most comprehensive writings in the world expressed
 through the Vedas and the Gítá. The Upanishads -translated by William
 Butler Yeats have given people from all over the world an insight into
 universal religious feelings for more than one century now.

 To know these well expressed simple words of wisdom in the original is
 better than dealing with copies or translations as copies are always
 inferior to originals. We really need clear knowledge on universal
 religion in an age faced with remarkable levels of religious bigotry
 and terrorism arising from poorly understood and half-baked religious
 ideas.

 Culture

 Vivekananda, a great spiritual leader from India revered by all in the
 World Religious Conference of 1880 in Chicago said:

 You can put a mass of knowledge into the world, but that will not do
 it much good. There must come some culture into the blood. We all know
 in modern times of nations which have masses of knowledge, but what of
 them? They are like tigers; they are like savages, because culture is
 not there.

 Knowledge is only skin-deep, as civilization is, and a little scratch
 brings out the old savage. Such things happen; this is the danger.
 Teach the masses in the vernaculars, give them ideas; they will get
 information, but something more is necessary; give them culture.

 Sanskrit can help your child to express universal, harmonious and
 simple truths better. As a result you will really have done your duty
 as a parent and the world will reap the benefits in a more humane,
 harmonious and united society. Sanskrit can do this as it is the only
 language that is based in knowledge all the way. Nothing is left to
 chance.

 Just think for the moment how confusing it is for a child to learn to
 say 'rough', but 'dough'. And why does the 'o' in 'woman' sound like
 an 'e' in 'women'? How come the 'ci' in 'special' is different from
 the 'ci' in 'cinema'?

 Teachers may well say 'Just learn it' as there is no logical
 explanation, but it only demonstrates to a child that it is all a bit
 of a hit-and-miss affair. What else does this randomness in the
 fundamental building-blocks of language teach a child about the world?
 That it's just a confusing, random chance-event? How can this give
 anyone any confidence?

 Now go to a language where everything is following rules. Where
 nothing is left to chance from the humble origin of a letter to the
 most sophisticated philosophical idea. How will that child meet the
 world? Surely with confidence, clarity and the ability to express
 itself?

 I have seen myself and others growing in such qualities, because of
 our contact with Sanskrit. I have just spent a year in India. Though
 it felt a bit like camping in a tent for a year, it was well worth it.

 For many years, we taught Sanskrit like zealots i.e. with high levels
 of enthusiasm and low levels of understanding, to both adults in the
 School of Philosophy and children in John Scottus School. We did not
 perhaps inspire a lot of our students and may have put a number of
 them off the study of Sanskrit. It felt to me like we needed to go to
 the source.

 Sanskrit teachers worth their salt need to live with people whose
 daily means of communication is in Sanskrit. I had already spent three
 summers near Bangalore at 'Samskrita Bharati' doing just that and
 becoming less of an amateur, but it really needed a more thorough
 study. So I moved into a traditional gurukulam for the year. This
 meant living on campus, eating lots of rice  and putting up with a few
 power-cuts and water shortages, but by December 2009, I made up my
 mind that I would step down as vice-principal of the Senior School and
 dedicate myself to Sanskrit for the rest of my teaching life.

 It felt like a promotion to me as quite a few could be vice-principal
 but right now which other teacher could forge ahead in Sanskrit in
 Ireland? [Hopefully this will change before I pop off to the next
 world.] With Sanskrit I'm expecting my mind to improve with age even
 if my body slows down a little.

 Sanskrit is often compared to the full-time teacher, who is there for
 you 24/7 whereas the other languages are more like part-timers. The
 effects of studying Sanskrit on me have been first and foremost a
 realistic confidence. Secondly, it meant I had to become more precise
 and speak weighing my words more carefully. It also taught me to
 express myself with less waffle and therefore speak more briefly. My
 power of attention and retention has undoubtedly increased.

 Teaching method

 Now, let me explain for a few minutes, HOW Sanskrit is taught. To my
 surprise it is not taught well in most places in India. Pupils have to
 learn it from when they are around age 9 to 11 and then they give it
 up, because it is taught so badly! Only a few die-hards stick with it,
 in time teaching the same old endings endlessly to the next
 generation. This is partly due to India having adopted a craving to
 copy the West and their tradition having been systematically rooted
 out by colonialism.

 For learning grammar and the wisdom of the East, I was well-placed in
 a traditional gurukulam, but for spoken Sanskrit I felt a modern
 approach was missing.

 Then I found a teacher from the International School belonging to the
 Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry. His name is Narendra. He has
 developed a novel, inspiring and light method to teach grammar, which
 doesn't feel like you do any grammar at all. At the same time it isn't
 diluted for beginners so you don't end up with partial knowledge. I
 also followed a few Sanskrit Conversation camps, which all brought
 about more familiarity.

 Narendra says he owes his method to Sri Aurobindo and his companion
 The Mother who inspired him to come up with the course we now follow
 in Dublin. This is one of the many things The Mother said to inspire
 him:"Teach logically. Your method should be most natural, efficient
 and stimulating to the mind. It should carry one forward at a great
 pace. You need not cling there to any past or present manner of
 teaching."

 This is how I would summarize the principles for teaching Sanskrit as
 we carry it out at present:

 1. Language learning is not for academics as everyone learns to speak
 a language from an early age before they can read and write and know
 what an academic is. So why insist in teaching Sanskrit academically?

 2. The writing script is not the most fundamental thing to be taught.
 A language is firstly made of its sounds, words and spoken sentences.
 [The script we use -though very beautiful- is only a few hundred years
 old.]

 3. Always go from what is known to what is new.

 4.  Understanding works better than memorisation in this Age. Learning
 by heart should only take up 10 percent of the mental work, rather
 than the 90 percent rote learning in Sanskrit up to the recent
 present.

 5. Don't teach words and endings in isolation; teach them in the
 context of a sentence as the sentence is the smallest meaningful unit
 in language.

 6. Any tedious memory work which cannot be avoided should be taught in a song.

 7. Do not teach grammatical terms. Just as we don't need to know about
 the carburetor, when we learn to drive a car.

 8. The course should be finished in two years by an average student
 according to Narendra. This may be a little optimistic given that we
 are a little out of the loop not living in India, which is still
 Sanskrit's custodian. At present I would say it is going to be a
 three-year course.

 9. Language learning must be playful. Use drama, song, computer games
 and other tricks to make learning enjoyable.

 We have started on this course since September and it has certainly
 put a smile on our pupils' faces, which makes a pleasant change. I now
 feel totally confident that we are providing your children with a
 thorough, structured and enjoyable course. Our students should be well
 prepared for the International Sanskrit Cambridge exam by the time
 they finish -age 14/15- at the end of second year. We will also teach
 them some of the timeless wisdom enshrined in various verses. At
 present we are teaching them: "All that lives is full of the Lord.
 Claim nothing; enjoy! Do not covet His property"- in the original of
 course.


 The future

 Let us look at the 500 - year cycle of a Renaissance. The last
 European Renaissance developed three subjects: Art, Music and Science
 to shape the world we live in today. It had its beginning in Florence.
 The great Humanist Marsilio Ficino made Plato available to the masses
 by translating it from Greek to Latin. We live in exciting times and
 may well be at the beginning of a new Renaissance. It also will be
 based on three new subjects: Some say that these will be Economics,
 Law and Language.

 Language has to become more universal now as we can connect with each
 other globally within seconds. NASA America's Space Program is
 actively looking at Sanskrit in relation to I.T. and artificial
 intelligence.

 Sri Aurobindo said ".at once  majestic and sweet and flexible, strong
 and clearly-formed and full and vibrant and subtle.".

 What John Scottus pupils have said:

 It makes your mind bright, sharp and clear.

 It makes you feel peaceful and happy.

 It makes you feel BIG.

 It cleans and loosens your tongue so you can pronounce any language easily.

 What Sanskrit enthusiasts like Rick Briggs in NASA have said:

 It gives you access to a vast and liberating literature.

 It can describe all aspects of human life from the most abstract
 philosophical to the latest scientific discoveries, hinting at further
 developments.

 Sanskrit and computers are a perfect fit. The precision play of
 Sanskrit with computer tools will awaken the capacity in human beings
 to utilize their innate higher mental faculty with a momentum that
 would inevitably transform the mind. In fact, the mere learning of
 Sanskrit by large numbers of people in itself represents a quantum
 leap in consciousness, not to mention the rich endowment it will
 provide in the arena of future communication. NASA, California

 After many thousands of years, Sanskrit still lives with a vitality
 that can breathe life, restore unity and inspire peace on our tired
 and troubled planet. It is a sacred gift, an opportunity. The future
 could be very bright.

 Rick Briggs [NASA]
 You may well have a few questions at this stage after which I would
 like to introduce you to a plant in the audience. A parent turned into
 a blazing ball of enthusiasm over Sanskrit grammar: John Doran. I
 would like him to wrap up.

 I'll give NASA's Rick Briggs the last word from me:

 One thing is certain; Sanskrit will only become the planetary language
 when it is taught in a way which is exciting and enjoyable.
 Furthermore it must address individual learning inhibitions with
 clarity and compassion in a setting which encourages everyone to step
 forth, take risks, make mistakes and learn.

New Zealand school teaches Sanskrit and claims it helps children understand English

 ANI | Jan 28, 2012, 07.14PM IST



NEVADA (US): A school in New Zealand has a 'Sanskrit Language Studies' programme and claims that learning Sanskrit accelerates a child's reading ability.
Ficino School in Mt Eden area of Auckland (New Zealand) calls itself a 'values-based academic institution' and offers education for girls and boys from year one to eight. It says about Sanskrit: "It has a wonderful system of sound and grammar, which gives the child an excellent base for the study of any language. Children love its order and beauty."
Distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed has applauded Ficino School for fostering universal virtues and encouraging Sanskrit studies and adds that Sanskrit has a close relationship with other classical languages like Latin, Greek, French, German, etc.
According to Peter Crompton, principal of this school founded in 1997, where curriculum includes "food for the mind, food for the spirit, food for the body", "Sanskrit with its almost perfect grammatical system...provides children with a roadmap for understanding English." Sanskrit not only gives young learners a clear understanding of the structure of language, it also heightens their awareness of the process of speech, creating a greater understanding of and ability to, enunciate words clearly, Crompton adds.
Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, pointed out that Sanskrit should be restored to its rightful place. It needed to be brought to the mainstream and hidden scientific truths in ancient Sanskrit literature should be brought to light, he said.
Rajan Zed strongly criticized India Government for not doing enough for Sanskrit language. He asked India Government to do much more for the development, propagation, encouragement and promotion of Sanskrit in India and the world, which was essential for the development of India and preservation of its cultural heritage. Sanskrit also provided the theoretical foundation of ancient sciences.
Besides Hindu scriptures, a vast amount of Buddhist and Jain scriptures were also written in Sanskrit, which is known as "the language of the gods". According to tradition, self-born God created Sanskrit, which is everlasting and divine. The oldest scripture of mankind still in common use, Rig-Veda, was written in Sanskrit, Zed added.
Mahatma Gandhi said, "Without the study of Sanskrit, one cannot become a true learned man." German philologist Max Muller added, "Sanskrit is the greatest language of the world."
