The Nobility of War

This is an attempt to give the Manhattan audience an understanding of a traditional viewpoint into war through fair use laws and the great 75 part TV epic "The Mahabharata" by B. R. Chopra. Today corporate media is successful in distracting the American population that is theoretically responsible (through the democratic process) for the war in Iraq. I try in this piece to instill values of nobility and show the possibility for everyone to achieve their soul purpose and with greater wisdom and confidence shake off their lethargy as well as their society's and thus help and not hurt those of lesser power. The responsibility of power needs strong and effective knowledge. This piece starts off with a reading from the ninth or Soma Mandala of the Rig Veda, one of India's spiritual books reflecting a wisdom more in tune with the laws of the five elements and as enduring as nature herself.




I had to reload here are the old comments:

hello. i have watched a lot of your videos and i really love them. i am familiar with mahabharata. have read it, watched it a couple of times.. you relate the mahabharata to present day events to understand the flaws in society and what could be done instead. thought provoking and impressive work. by the way, this video doesn't have sound after 8:27..

i believe that whole thing was made simply to gain control over a powerful trip. but they, thats in my world, not yours. :)

[paulagloria]

well the vedas are both a record of how creation came to be as well as a method to maintain it. so our worlds do have vaster coordination aspects (otherwise how could we utube?) thanks for stopping by!

s/where did the to

where did the influence to*

[madspwn]

Of course, but where did the to write the poetry and these sacred chants come from?

Leaving out or simply ignoring entheogens from holy scriptures is like driving a car to Wisdom without gasoline imo.

[paulagloria]

have you heard of ingesting good thoughts? I think this is the idea behind the vedas....reading holy scripture

[madspwn]

Yes! I have several masonjars of them, dried, in my basement. They give an ecstatic high for sure, as long as you keep a wise modaration on dosage. I highly recommend them.

Paula, you seem like a very wise and learned person. I have several questions about western society. Can I ask you those questions ?

Thank you for a response.

Wow, wonderful intepretation and you are giving such excellent meaning to this ancient story in the modern context. Truly wonderful work ! Im an Indian living in Boston. I watched a couple of the videos you have uploaded about the Mahabharata, and its meaning in today's society and they are awesome ! Please keep up the good work.
