Daanam - gifts -

James Prinsep, archaeologist, philologist and official of the East India Company, working with Alexander Cunningham is credited to have completely deciphered the Brahmi script.

James analysed a large number of donatory inscriptions in Sanchi, and noticed that most of them ended with the same two Brahmi characters.

Princep took them as Daanam - gifts -  which allowed him to complete the puzzle, and fully decipher the script.

Agrahaayana

Dharma is not about worship of a deity, scripture or a person.

Dharma is a thirsting to know.

An individual without thirst for the unknown, lives quite like any animal - within 4 parameters of food, sleep, mating and fear. 

 An ignorant person is contended like a pig. And choice is, to live like a  well nourished pig, or be aflame with discontent.

A discontented human's thirst, to look beyond the known, is called Dharma.

gita jayanti

Lean over, peer into depths of a deep well, to catch a glimpse - is knowledge.


To stand and behold, an expansive waterfront - is knowing.
