Surround Sound: How much is Too Much?

Tagged Under : , , , , , , , , , , , ,

The question that many consumers or would be consumers of home theater
or surround sound systems must ask themselves is how much should I
spend on a home theater system. The problem with that question is that
there isn’t an answer that is appropriate for every potential buyer.
While there are many who honestly and firmly believe that if you are
making the investment in your home and the entertainment value within
your home you should really consider how much time you spend there and
how much value a system such as this will actually add to your
perception of the time you spend in your home. I did tell you that
there really isn’t a simple answer.

Narada And The Illusion Of Maya

Tagged Under : , , , , , , , , , ,

Sage Narada was a Maharishi, a renowned teacher, inspirer of poets, counselor of kings, a divine messenger, and also a notorious ‘mischief-maker’. The word ‘Nara’ means knowledge useful to mankind and ‘Da’ means ‘a giver’. So ‘Narada’ means the one who gives knowledge to mankind and imparts right guidance.

Narada with a knotted tuft of hair in the center of an otherwise clean-shaven scalp, usually makes his characteristic entry with a Veena (a stringed musical instrument) in his hand and the name of Lord Narayana on his lips: “Narayana, Narayana”!

Ethical Dilemmas In Daily Life - Rats In My Backyard, Part 3

Tagged Under : , , , , ,

After all those unsuccessful efforts to eliminate the rats nesting under my backyard shed, and listening to many nights of no-holds-barred carnage between multiple species of animals in the dead of the night, I could feel an unexpected but interesting question start to form in my consciousness.

Who knows? Perhaps those damn rats were inevitably becoming a part of that survival-of-the-fittest madness staged in my backyard on some nights and thus they were also getting their own share of an invisible “population control” process?

A New Challenge To Modern Scientific Enquiry

Tagged Under : , ,

Rationalist philosophers, from Aristotle to Bertrand Russell, have given philosophy methods of conducting syllogistic inferences – logical analysis. Immanuel Kant, in his Critique of Pure Reason, has proved beyond doubt that we cannot penetrate the tremendous dead wall called reason.

If the philosophy of reason was true and perfect unto itself, then its effect would have been to lead the human race to perfection. But as we see that nothing of the kind has happened. On the contrary, all that the philosophy of modern civilization has created has ended not in the evolution of man to a higher level of existence, but in chaos and confusion.

Y-series - Difficult If Forced And Easy If Understood - Love And Religion

Tagged Under : , , , , ,

I feel enjoy writing and sharing thoughts and observations mingled with Religious i.e. Islamic analysis. It is very helping in order to understand a situation of one’s psychology – a physical philosophy behind human mind – when something or a trait is being learnt or made stored in the mental library.

There exists in human personality a natural inherent trait. This salient feature values ones character. It may be defined as “curiosity”. Man becomes interested, or much interested depending upon the situation, if he is given restricted for/over certain line of actions. He thinks to cross such limits and observe himself. Sometimes it is better to learn from the experiences of the past-people who crossed such limits. In most cases people want their own experiences.

Art As A Mirror Onto The Soul

Tagged Under : , , , , , , , ,

I was having an interesting conversation with a friend this week about how abstract art can be interpreted many different ways, depending on the viewer. And in a clumsy attempt to figure it all out, that got me thinking about mirrors…

Mirrors are fantastic things. Love ‘em! The one problem is they only reflect the mere surface of the objects you place before them. Buff and polish all you like, they won’t delve any deeper.

For that, we need something more incisive. Yes, X-rays will get you some of the way, but they’re really quite dangerous if used more than a couple of times a year. I can only hope Superman didn’t stare at Lois Lane too often.
