INTRODUCTION - ASATO MA SADGAMAYA (Lead me from darkness of ignorance towards the light of truth)

The purpose or intention of creating this blog is what has been captured by the vedic mantra "Asato ma sad gamaya" means God lead me from darkness of ignorance towards the light of the truth or knowledge.

How does it fit the description of this blog is that there are a large no. of superstitions/old wives tales/urban legends/myths surrounding us that we are covered in false sense (or knowledge) of the surrounding world from head to toe. You think that some practice or act is logical because some of your guru or elder has told, therefore it must be true. Some practices are encient and you think because it has travelled through so many centuries therefore it must be having a time tested or real significance even if you  don't know what it is. But sadly most of the times this is not what science tests and proves.
We will tackle such issues in this blog. I'll try to explain the phenomenon in simple language (I am planning to add Hindi also later for a wider coverage) and will use external reference and material so as to save time & effort on my part as well as to give readers a sense of trust so that they can easily believe what is being said or explained. Also this blog will be 100% based upon scientific principles and the explanations and elaborations will use scientific methods. There is no space for holistic/mystical/spiritual explanations on this blog. All whatever will be said or discussed will be 100% tested and proved.
Well this is officially my first post on this blog. Hope you will enjoy the blog. Spread the word if you like the blog and also give your comments about the post. Also if you want me to find truth about any topic just just let me know. Critics are also welcome but criticism should be based upon scientific evidence (like material from websites of big reputed organisations like NASA, FDA, WHO, etc. will be considered scientific evidence and not some reply in Yahoo/wiki answers or excerpts from a spiritual/religious site).
Happy reading..
Regards,
Subhash Kamboj

  1. It's not asto ma sadgamya; it's asato ma--

    In the first line it's even misspelled "asta"

  2. By your own admission, you deny all mysticism and spirituality, and yet are asking someone or something to lead you from darkness to light. Who/what are you asking for this guidance?

  5. Subash sir,materialism is a good subject, but your topic for discussion is spiritualism. If it is so....to arrive at a common platform for discussion to go a healthy argumentative way.
    Attempting sincerely hope to realize the truth.
