Dharmic Digestion.

Today most of the Western Scholars, Young Indians, Post modern Indians are habituated to translate our Indian traditional methods to Western (not modern) frameworks. This process is enriching the Western Culture in India by large scale.This is highly problematic.One cannot conclude by saying Tiger killing a Goat or rather eating a Goat 'changed for better' by the digestion, the food of the tiger becomes a part of its own body, breaking down in to pieces and thereby completely destroying the Goat DNA and becomes the Tiger's own DNA.

All the languages including Sanskrit, Cultures, traditions in India, most importantly encode a specific and unique cultural experiences, the sound and manifestation of the language carry effects that cannot be separated from their conceptual meanings. Sanskrit is such a sacred language that our Rishi's of our ancient past discovered the inner sciences of the nature and defined a spiritual experience. Our traditions are scientifically proven to bring peace and harmony not only for humanity also for our Mother Earth.

The non-translatable nature of these traditions and cultures and all that it implies are compromised by the Cultural Digestion of Dharma in to the West. In this Course of Digestion, crucial importance and understandings are lost.

We need to remove the artificial western lens and be a very Indian by following the Dharma practises and challenge the west by creating our own Identity.
