Описание: 'This book is epic in the sense that it covers so much ground that one is left somewhat dizzy. And yet, it all makes sense once one realizes how it is possible for something that is complex, for example a flower, to evolve via natural processes from humble beginnings. After all, starting with single-cell creatures such as amoebae we follow a complicated but rational evolutionary path to arrive at the most complex organizations that we know of - ourselves. So, if you follow the logic of this book, starting with the basic concepts of thermodynamics, symmetry, quantum theory and so on, you will be treated to many many thought-provoking ideas, which will likely challenge your own preconceptions and leave you thirsting for more.' (From the Foreword by Prof. A. M. Glazer, University of Oxford) Science is all about trying to understand natural phenomena under the strict discipline imposed by the celebrated scientific method. Practically all the systems we encounter in Nature are dynamical systems, meaning that they evolve with time. Among them there are the 'simple' or 'simplifiable' systems, which can be handled by traditional, reductionistic science; and then there are 'complex' systems, for which nonreductionistic approaches have to be attempted for understanding their evolution. In this book the author makes a case that a good way to understand a large number of natural phenomena, both simple and complex, is to focus on their self-organization and emergence aspects. Self-organization and emergence are rampant in Nature and, given enough time, their cumulative effects can be so mind-boggling that many people have great difficulty believing that there is no designer involved in the emergence of all the structure and order we see around us. But it is really quite simple to understand how and why we get so much 'order for free'. It all happens because, as ordained by the infallible second law of thermodynamics, all 'thermodynamically open' systems in our ever-expanding and cooling (and therefore gradient-creating) universe constantly tend to move towards equilibrium and stability, often ending up in ordered configurations. In other words, order emerges because Nature tends to find efficient ways to annul gradients of all types. This book will help you acquire a good understanding of the essential features of many natural phenomena, via the complexity-science route. It has four parts: (1) Complexity Basics; (2) Pre-Human Evolution of Complexity; (3) Humans and the Evolution of Complexity; and (4) Appendices. The author gives centrestage to the second law of thermodynamics for 'open' systems, which he describes as 'the mother of all organizing principles'. He also highlights a somewhat unconventional statement of this law: 'Nature abhors gradients'. The book is written at two levels, one of which hardly uses any mathematical equations; the mathematical treatment of some relevant topics has been pushed to the last part of the book, in the form of ten appendices. Therefore the book should be accessible to a large readership. It is a general-science book written in a reader-friendly language, but without any dumbing down of the narrative.

Описание: Many think that astrology is for predicting future and they can have a better hold on the future if they know about the happenings beforehand. This is an erroneous notion, as in the Vedic tradition and culture, astrology is not meant to predict the future, as nobody can predict the future entirely. If it were so, then where is the human freedom? Astrology predicts principally the results of our past karma and the only way to counteract the results of the past karma is through present karma. Therefore, astrology is meant to guide you and to help develop your positive qualities and provide you guidance for eradicating the factors or qualities that lead you ultimately to bad fortune. The book is based on the Vedic tradition which is number oriented and the significance of numbers has been inspired from cosmogony and cosmology. Like the cosmos has its influence on us, these numbers also effect our day-to-day lives. Besides that, numbers play an important role in the performance of all rituals and ceremonies. Performance of fire ceremonies, weddings, entrance into a new house (grihpravesh), naming the newborn, beginning of a new work or business or starting a construction, and thousands of other daily rituals are performed on a calculated specific time and day. Vedic mathematics is famous in the world and it gave the world the concept of zero and of decimal. The advanced astronomy and astrology and interaction of all what exists in the cosmos with each other is used to calculate the special dates for performance of the rituals and ceremonies. For example, the rosary used for japa (repetition of a mantra) in yoga has 108 beeds. The distance from the earth to the sun is 108 times the diameter of the sun. Thus, this number is used to reach the celestial plane. The present book illustrates some amazing concepts of the ancient Vedic wisdom related to the numbers and how they can guide you in your everyday life. This book is meant to teach you simple numerological methods that you can beneficially use in your everyday life. You will find facts about your personality, how to modify your negative characteristics and how to enhance your positive characteristics. A quality can be used for both, destructive and constructive purpose and you will learn how to divert your energies for beneficial purpose. Organise yourself to hold important talks and meetings on the days and at times which is favourable for you. This book teaches you to calculate the disturbed periods in your life and do your best to go through it calmly and peacefully with the suggestions given in this book. How to use this book? Study this book in a systematic manner in order to get maximum benefit from this wisdom based on the most ancient living traditions of the world. Learn step by step in the following manner. - Learn to calculate your life number and other important numbers related to you with the methods given in the first Chapter. Try to understand your karmic personality. - In the second Chapter, learn about the importance and qualities of the individual numbers. Try to understand the philosophical basis behind each number and their importance in your life in relations to your life number. Learn about your personality traits. - Learn to correlate different numbers related to your life number for making a complex horoscope and for matching the horoscopes of two persons for compatibility. - Learn to calculate the life periods from the sum of age related to the life number. - Learn to get over-difficult and disturbed periods of life with concentration practices and meditation on the symbolic significance of the numbers. This book is meant to be a self-help guide for developing positive traits in your personality and for learning to coordinate your past karma (daiva) with present karma (purushkara) to obtain the best results from given situations and circumstances in life.

Описание: NOW AND BEYOND is a collection of poems, essays, photographs and paintings inspired by the beauty and love of Nature. NOW is what is experienced by an individual at the present moment. It is the multimodal field of fluid contents of a conscious mind. Now is a specified set of observations by a person of itself and its surroundings. That is why the experience of now is always personal, private and dualistic. It is usually dominated by visual, auditory, somatosensory and memory-based cognitive inputs. BEYOND is what is beyond the now-experience. It is the spontaneous process of being alive, awake, aware and attentive. It is the living consciousness itself. Consciousness is founded on multiple life-processes including conscious arousal, awareness, attention and cognitive self-control. Each process has multiple components including biophysical, psychosocial, cultural and spiritual. We cannot completely see the whole big picture. But we are capable of being integrally present with a wholistic feeling of being connected to the natural reality, since we are always immersed in it.
