God is a computer programmer- Part 3

  PREFACE: I wrote in the earlier parts, about why it is likely that God is actually a computer programmer and the Universe is just a computer game. The hypothesis was well received, but it was just a theory. And how does one validate a theory? Hindu philosophy consists of six darshanas (philosophies, worldview, teachings) one of which is Nyaya darshan.    This darshana’s significance is the systematic development of logic and methodology to validate a theory. So, let us use some of its key processes to check whether this hypothesis of “God is a Computer Programmer” meets its rigid criteria. There are four means of obtaining knowledge – perception (by the five senses), inference (conclusion based on the basis of reason and logic), comparison (a consideration or estimate of the similarities or dissimilarities between two things or people) and word/ testimony of reliable sources (like the study, research of scientists and/or credible people like Rishis). As you read the theory, you may f

  PREFACE The hypothesis that I present here for a new worldview on existence is an extremely rational and logical explanation based on empirical evidences and cutting edge experiments. It would be diametrically opposite to all that one has read, heard or believed in for all one’s life. If read with an open mind, it can alter one’s concepts of life, God, religion and everything that is profound in your life. A world view that could challenge the perspectives built over generations, faith, traditions and social life. Old traditions, views and practices builds a groove in one’s mind map, making it very difficult to remove the impressions built over decades. It is my earnest request to focus the search light of reason and logic before accepting or rejecting this theory. If I can create a sliver of doubt in the minds of the readers and make them read and think more about this alternative worldview, then I would have achieved my objective. Like the illiterate mathematics genius Srinivasan R

God is a computer programmer- Part 1

  Since 2003, I had been trying to find answers to these four existential questions: Who am I? What is existence? What is my role in existence? How best can I play that role? In Feb 2003, I got a spontaneous kundalini awakening and started slipping into automatic trance for many hours at a time, especially during the night. Sometimes, I used to sit in a trance-like state for 8 hours to 10 hours. My wife, Minal, used to keep pillows around me, in case, I fell on my face. During this trance-like state, I found the answers to the above four questions. The answers came to me automatically during the state. This is the subjective knowledge that comes directly to someone who is in that state of receiving. The mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan, an illiterate worker also got his knowledge through subjective process. You may find many more examples in  http://www.mayankgandhi04.com/2010/04/subjective-knowledge-ii.html But how could I be sure that what had occurred in my body was kundalini awake
