In Search of the Cradle of Civilization
In this pathbreaking book, the authors show that the ancient Indians were no primitives but possessed a high spiritual culture, which not only influenced the evolution of the Western world in decisive ways but which still hs much to teach us today. India's archaic spirituality is codified in the rich symbols, metaphors and myths of the magnificent Rig-Veda, which is shown to be much older than has been widely assumed by scholars. The present book also unravels the astonishing mathematical and astronomical code hidden in the Vedic hymns. Anyone interested in ancient cultural history, India, archaeo-astronomy or spirituality will find this well researched and cross-cultural work spellbinding and enriching.
The Aśvamedha
This book describes the ASVAMEDHA rite and its symbolism to explain distinctive aspects of the Vedic sacrifice system. Several questions related to the Asvamedha are posed and answered in the context of Vedic epistemology. This rite has three important functions: (i) it presents and equivalence of the naksatra year to the heaven, implying that it is rite that celebrates the rebirth of the Sun; (ii) it is symbolic of the conquest of Time by the king, in whose name the rite is performed; and (iii) it is celebration of social harmony achieved by the transcendence of the fundamental conflicts between various sources of power. Numbers from another Vedic rite, the Agnicayana; help in the understanding of several of its details.
Matter and Mind
Matter and Mindis a new translation of the nearly 2,500-year oldVaisheshika Sutra of Kanada together with an introductoryessay and acommentary. TheVaisheshika Sutrais one of the mostimportant texts in the history ofscience that has not received the attention it deserves. It presents an ontology of reality that includes four kinds of fundamental atoms, two of which have mass and two that do not, as well as minds and consciousness. It also presents symmetry principles that it uses to infer properties of the basic atoms.Kanada's laws of motion are nearly identical to those of Newton."
The Nature of Physical Reality
"The book presents a summary of the current scientific understanding of the physical world, and shows that man's questioning across the ages has had continuity in terms of preoccupation with paradoxes."--
Mind and Self
Mind and Selfis a new translation and commentary onPatanjali'sYoga Sutra framed bynew findings from neuroscience and physics that throw light on the counterintuitive workings of the mind.It brings in evidence from other early Yoga classics such as theBhagavad Gita, the Yoga Vasistha, and Tantra to place the text in context and explain some of its most esoteric ideas."
The Circle of Memory
The Circle of Memory covers a broad canvas: Subhash Kak's childhood in Kashmir, his scientific career in India and the United States, and vignettes of several prominent scholars. In addition to many personal anecdotes about his family and colleagues, it describes how his research that began with computer science came to embrace neural networks, quantum theory, history of science and the arts. It presents accounts of his discoveries in artificial intelligence, quantum theory, and Vedic astronomy, and how he became a part of a new movement trying to develop a science of consciousness.
Computing Science in Ancient India
Description: Not only the sign for zero, but also the binary number system, the ideas of metarules, algebraic transformation, recursion, hashing, mathematical logic, formal grammars, and high level language description arose first in India. Indian mathematical science had already reached dizzying heights about 2,500 years ago by the time of Panini and Pingala, considered by tradition to have been brothers. Panini's grammar for Sanskrit, which is equivalent in its computing power to the most powerful computing machine, has not yet been matched for any other language, while Pingala described the binary number system. This classic book of contributions by the leading scholars in the world presents an overview of these seminal contributions to computer science. It also includes chapters on models and computation in astronomy and cognitive science.
