Samay (The Time) - The Timeless time of the Vedic Ages of India

What is Samay?
What is Kal?
What is creation?
What is the origin and start of the time?

Let's find out what our timeless Vedic scriptures say about it:

#Veda #SanatanaDharma #Hinduism #Time #India twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
1. What is Samay / Kaal / Time?

The Sanskrit word for time is kala which has been derived from kalana or motion and it implies that time manifests itself through motion. At the same time, time is eternal (Nitya and Shaswata) without beginning and ending (Anadi and Ananta). The… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
2. Concept of Shrishti and Pralaya - The Cycle of Time
The cosmos follows one cycle within a framework of cycles. It may have been created and reached an end, but it represents only one turn in the perpetual Kalachakra, the "wheel of time", which revolves infinitely through… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
3. Meaning of Cyclic Kal (Time) from Shrishti to Pralaya - The start of the creation

The word in Sanskrit for “creation” is Shristi which actually means ‘ejaculation’, or a ‘bursting forth’.
All the potential of the universe, time, space, and matter was concentrated in a… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
4. Concept of the Creation in Vedas and Puranas

a) Origin of the Purana and Concept of the Time, Creation, and Cosmos

Though the compilation of the Purana is unknown and is not attributed to Vyasa (he only compiled it and taught it to Lomaharshana), is not considered a Shruti… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
5. Nisadiya Sukta in Rig Veda and most accurate and complete explanation of the creation

Nisadiya Sukta is written in the 129th Sukta of the 10th mandala of the Rigveda.

नास॑दासी॒न्नोसदा॑सीत्त॒दानीं॒नासी॒द्रजो॒नोव्यो॑मा प॒रोयत् । किमाव॑रीवः॒ कुह॒… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
6. Atharv Ved and Creation of Time

Atharv Veda says that It is Time that kick starts the creation of the material world and it is Time that destroys the material world. Wherever there is the influence of eternal time in the material world, there is this set of tribulations,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
7. Kal (Time) and the Eternal Consciousness
Unlike the popular saying in America that “you only live once,” the Vedas are clear that both consciousness and matter are eternal. This is supported by Newton’s law of the conservation of energy. In reality, nothing is ever created or… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
8. Kal (Time) As Entropy
When the US physicist, Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer witnessed the detonation of a nuclear bomb in 1945, he recalled the following line from Bhagavad-gita:
काला ‘सामी लोक-क्षय-कृत प्रवरिधो
लोक संहर्तुम् यह प्रविरित्तः
“I have become death, the destroyer of… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
9. Concept of the ETERNITY OF THE KAL (TIME) – Vishnu Purana

In the Vishnu Purana, Maharishi Parasara explains that there are four fundamental forms in the universe:
प्रधान (Pradhana) primary or crude matter also referred to as prakr̥ti,
पुरुष (Puruṣa) spirit,
व्यक्त… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
10. Concept of the Dark energy - Holding the Universe in the TIME SPACE CONTINUUM

There is a shloka in the Lakshmi Tantra spoken by the Goddess Lakshmi:
सुन्यं तद् अखिलं लोकं स्वेन पुरयितुं पुरा |
भरमि त्वपरं रूपं तमसा केवलेन तु || ४ - ५७ ||
In the beginning, in order to fill… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
11. Scale of the Vedic Time system

Smallest Unit of Time
In Surya Sidhanta, Vedic astronomy give a very detailed division of Time upto the lowest sub-division level of prana (respiration), a time-lapse of four seconds. The lowest sub divisions praņa is the same part of the day… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
12. Vedic Division of Day
The Vedic division of the day is somewhat different. According to this, Kala (Time) is born out of Sun. The counting starts from nimesha (twinkling of an eye).
Truti is referred to as a quarter of the time of falling of an eye lid. twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
13. Seven Days of Week

Deleting the leading letter ‘a’ and the trailing ‘tra’ from ‘ahoratra’, one is left with the word hora, and from this horā, another system of measuring time, the ‘Hora System’, introduced in this country by the celebrated Hindu astronomer Varaha Mihira, by… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImage
14. Samvatsara - The Year Cycles
Samvatsara is a Sanskrit term for "year". In Hindu tradition, there are 60 Samvatsaras, each of which has a name. Once all 60 samvatsaras are over, the cycle starts over again. The sixty Samvatsaras are divided into 3 groups of 20 Samvatsaras… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
15. Chronology of the Yuga
The units of time larger than a year are called yugas. The word yuga has been derived from yoga and yoga from samyoga, or conjunction of heavenly bodies. So one finds the origin of every unit of yuga to a specific conjunction of the heavenly bodies in… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
16. Mahayuga (Chaturyuga) - The Yuga Cycles

Beyond this level there are 4 epochs or yugas, namely, Krita Yuga, Treta Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dvapara Yuga and Kali Yuga. All these four yugas together is called a chatur yuga, which means "four epochs"or also termed maha yuga that means… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImage
17. Time of Devas - The Cosmic Years
The lifespan of the Devas is 100 years of the Devas (= 36,000 human years). twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
18. Kalpa - A Cosmic Day of Brahma
n this cyclic process of time, 1000 chaturyuga or mahayuga period is called a Kalpa, and period of time is equal to a daytime for the Brahma, the creator of the universe. A thousand and a thousand (i.e. two thousand) chaturyugas are said to be… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
19. Manvantara
A cosmic days includes 14 Period or Manvantaras to 306 720 000 solar years. The next day, a cosmic unity is a Manvantara, there are fourteen pieces. A Manu mastered such a period. We live in the 7th Manvantara. Manvantara the first 6 have gone, 7 more will come. In… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
20. Mahakalpa - Brahma's Lifespan
Brahma (the creator) lives for 100 years of 360 such days and at the end, he is said to dissolve, along with his entire Creation, into the Paramatman (Eternal Soul). The scriptures put Brahma's age at 100 years in his unique time scale.

FROM THE EPSTEIN FILES:
Unsealed Doc EFTA02420041 confirms: In 2010, Kapil Sibal & Sam Pitroda attended a high-society Gala in NYC hosted by the International Institute of Education (IIE).
🧵
Tickets: $1,250. Tables: $12,500.
Why does this matter?
Look at who funds the IIE to run "India Centric" programs:
🔹 Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (Health "Capacity
Building")
🔹 Ford Foundation ("Social Change" Leaders)
🔹 George Soros’ OSF (Civil Society Scholars)
🔹 Rockefeller Foundation (Smart Power India)
🔹 Carnegie Corp (Academic Partnerships)
and
Henry Luce foundation (Luce Scholars India)

Mr. Sibal was "honored" at this event. Connecting the dots yet? 🦅🇮🇳

#EpsteinFiles #KapilSibal #SamPitroda #Soros #IndiaImage
1. Rockefeller Smart Power India (SPI)

1. Mukund Rajan (Chairman, Board of Directors)
The most significant "connection" is familial and social rather than professional.

Family Tie (Raghuram Rajan): Mukund Rajan is the brother of Raghuram Rajan (former RBI Governor). Raghuram Rajan.

2. Jaideep Mukherji (CEO)
The connection here is functional and governance-based. Under his leadership, Smart Power India has partnered with state governments to implement energy projects, including those ruled by the Congress party.

Rajasthan Government Partnership (Ashok Gehlot Era): SPI worked closely with the Congress-led Rajasthan government (under former CM Ashok Gehlot) to modernize the state's power distribution.

Chhattisgarh Government (Bhupesh Baghel Era): SPI has engaged with the Chhattisgarh Renewable Energy Development Agency (CREDA) during the Congress administration to promote decentralized renewable energy (DRE) solutions for rural livelihoods.Image
2. Luce Scholars Program (India Placements)

Radhika Shroff

Role: Member, Board of Directors (Henry Luce Foundation).

Significance: Appointed to the board recently (August 2025), she is a key voice in the foundation's governance. Notably, she is herself an alumna of the Luce Scholars Program (placed in Thailand previously). She is a Managing Director at Nuveen (a major investment management firm).

he Henry Luce Foundation does not have its own office in India. Instead, the Luce Scholars Program is administered in Asia by The Asia Foundation. The "leadership" that manages the India placements—selecting host organizations, mentoring scholars, and handling logistics—sits within The Asia Foundation's New Delhi office.

Nandita Baruah
Role: Country Representative, India (The Asia Foundation).
Responsibility: As the head of the India office, she oversees the team that facilitates Luce Scholars' entry into India. Her team is responsible for identifying the "host organizations" (NGOs, think tanks, cultural bodies) where scholars work.

Centre for Policy Research (CPR) and SEWA (Self Employed Women’s Association host Luce scholars in India for mentorship programs.Image

🚨 BREAKING: The Activist Industrial Complex has found a new enemy.
It’s not a politician.
It’s not a guru.
It’s code.
Ladies and Gentlemen, say Hello to "The Brahmin AI." 🤖🙏
The new chapter in the global caste narrative has dropped, and it’s more ridiculous than you think.
A Thread 🧵👇
#AI #Caste #Tech

The Set Up
Finally, after classifying all the lesser mortals under the sky, the "Seculars," the Anti-Caste Activists, and the Narrative Builders have run out of humans to cancel. So, they turned to the servers.
Apparently, Python scripts have a Varna now. 🐍📉

The Core Argument
Let’s check: How much BRAHMIN is the AI❓
Is ChatGPT waking up at 4 AM to do Sandhyavandanam?
Does Gemini refuse to eat onions?
No.
But according to the new "Academic Polarization" playbook, if an algorithm prioritizes logic, pattern recognition, and merit, it is inherently oppressive.

The "Why" ?
Why is this narrative being pushed? Because Tech was the last frontier based on competence, not identity. By labeling AI as "Casteist" or "Brahminical," the goal is simple: Control the input.
Rig the output.
Import the "Reservation" model into the Neural Networks. 🧠🚫

The Punchline
"The Brahmin AI" is a boogeyman created to keep the grievance industry alive.
If the AI gives you facts you don't like, it’s not an error. It’s "Digital Untouchability."
The mental gymnastics required to link Silicon Valley code to Ancient Indian social structures deserves a Gold Medal. 🥇🤸‍♂️

The Call to Action
Make no mistake. This isn't about equality. It's about colonizing the digital space with the same broken politics that ruined the physical one.
Don't let them gaslight you.
RT if you think Code has no Caste. 🔄
Like if you trust Math more than Activists. ❤️Image
1. The trail

Historically if you look at the kind of damage which has been done by the leftists academics to India's institutes is unfathomable.
Pre 1947
We had European scholars/ academics writing Christian missionary versions of our scriptures.
Post 1947
We have had our indigenous brown sepoys who took great pride in the desecration and distortion of of our scriptures, our social ethos and eidos while terming Ramayana and Mahabharata as a myth.

The latest UGC Equity guidelines was just another extension of this Academic - Activist - Institutional - Industrial Complex.

Just for a memory shake up, check the below list and see for yourself!!
Do our children deserve this kind of divisive, polarizing rants in our academic institutes in the name of research funded by Tax Payor money??
All of these 86 publications are based on:

1. Ramayana Mahabharat are a myth.
2. Upper caste dominance in academic institutes
3. Upper caste academic depriving lower caste academics from resources and faculty positions
4. Upper caste academics control everything in academicsImage
2. The Loudmouths

Even if you check left aligned media platforms, they are super busy in driving this propaganda to the hilt and with total shameless propaganda bordering very close to the proverbial profanities!!Image

🧵 THE ANATOMY OF LAWFARE: The Indira Jaising & Anand Grover Files

How do you dismantle a nation's sovereignty using its own laws? 🇮🇳⚖️

A deep dive into the funding, foreign connections, and "anti-establishment" networks of India's most powerful legal power couple.

A thread on Money, Influence, and Dissent.

Read on..........Image
1. The Money heist

Between 2006-2015, the Lawyers Collective (LC) received approx. INR 32.39 CRORE in foreign contributions.

Who paid?
🇺🇸 Ford Foundation: ~₹7.2 Cr
🇨🇭 Open Society (Soros): ~₹4.1 Cr
🇺🇸 Levi Strauss: Part of ~₹15.3 Cr US total

Why? "Secularism" & "Policy Advocacy."

Much has been written about the foreign funding received by Indira Jaisingh and her husband Anand Grover through their non profit "The Lawyers Collective", especially form The Open Society Foundations but two organisations where both husband and wife were members and fierce advocates are:

1. Committee for Release of Political Prisoners (CRPP)

The CRPP is a "frontal organization" for the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist).
Investigations by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and state police forces (e.g., Telangana Police) have found that the CRPP receives funding and directives directly from the CPI (Maoist) to carry out activities that align with the banned outfit's agenda.
The NIA has labeled the CRPP, along with other organizations like the Persecuted Prisoners Solidarity Committee (PPSC), as a frontal organization of the CPI (Maoist) in its charge sheets

Rona Wilson, the Public Relations Secretary of the CRPP, was arrested in 2018 under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for alleged links to the CPI (Maoist) and for facilitating funding for their activities. Balla Ravindranath, the general secretary, has also been named in police affidavits describing the organization as a Maoist front.

2. Indian People's Tribunal (IPT)

The Indian People's Tribunal on Environment and Human Rights (IPT), also known as the Independent People's Tribunal, was established in 1993 as an initiative of the Human Rights Law Network (HRLN) and the Socio-Legal Information Centre (SLIC). Consequently, its operations are supported by the funding ecosystem of its parent bodies.
both the Human Rights Law Network (HRLN) and the Socio-Legal Information Centre (SLIC) have received massive funding from the Open Society foundations of George Soros till 2016 just like Indira Jaisisngh's The Lawyers Collective.Image
3. THE ASG CONFLICT: SERVING INDIA OR DONORS?

While Indira Jaising was the Additional Solicitor General (ASG) of India (2009-2014), representing the sovereign state, she allegedly received ~₹96 Lakh from foreign funds.

Violating FCRA? The Home Ministry thought so. You can't serve the Govt and foreign donors simultaneously.

The incredible true story of how a single recovered PL-15 transformed the Astra missile from a standard BVR into a sniper rifle for AWACS. 🧵
During the Operation Sindoor, A Pakistani pilot panic-fired a Chinese PL-15 into the grey zone towards a IAF Rafale Fighter. He thought he was safe.
He wasn’t.
The missile didn’t explode. It landed intact. And in 4 hours, DRDO engineers uncovered a secret that just boosted the IAF’s kill zone by 50%.
Here is the story of how a "dud" missile became India’s greatest strategic windfall.
China stole the tech from the US. Sold it to Pakistan. And Pakistan accidentally airmailed it to India..😂

The PL-15 "game changer" wasn't the motor—it was the fuel. CL-20.

How DRDO cracked the "impossible" chemistry in 6 months to turn the Astra Mk-1 into a 160km monster without changing a single bolt.

Look at this image. That’s not just scrap metal. That’s a billion-dollar R&D budget delivered to DRDO by a foolish adversary.

Because of one unexploded PL-15, the Indian Air Force just collapsed a 10-year development timeline into 6 months.

The tables have turned. Made in China. Refined in India. Ready to burn. 🔥

They claimed it was a 200km Apex Predator. Physics proved them wrong. DRDO proved them obsolete.
#IndianAirForce #DRDO #DefenseNews #AstraMissile #Geopolitics #India #China #MilitaryTech #PL15Image
1. The Incident:
A Pakistani J-10 pilot found himself locked up by an Indian Rafale. Panic set in.
He didn't have the position, but he had a weapon his Chinese suppliers promised was an apex predator: The PL-15.
He fired blindly into the Grey Zone, praying for a miracle.
The miracle didn't happen. The missile burned hot, exhausted its first pulse, and ran out of kinetic energy miles short. It became a lawn dart. It tumbled out of the sky, skipped like a stone off the soft earth, and came to rest... intact.Image
2. The Gift

Standard procedure for a lost advanced weapon is immediate airstrikes. You bomb the wreck until it's dust.
But the adversary was in disarray. Within minutes, Indian special response teams were moving. This wasn't a recovery; it was a snatch-and-grab of the highest order.
Four hours later, the PL-15 was under X-ray scanners at a DRDO complex in Hyderabad.
Engineers didn't care about the radar seeker or software.
They wanted to know the range. How was China claiming 200km on a missile that size? The geometry didn't make sense.

🚨 UGC Equity Guidelines Impact on the General Category
🧵
If an "Equity" rule creates a new marginalized group, is it still Equity? 🤔
The new #UGC 2026 guidelines effectively strip General Category students of protection against reverse discrimination.
No safeguards. No representation.
Are we witnessing the institutionalization of bias in the name of solving it?
Here is a brief explainer of this debate with data backed points.
Do read..............Image
1. Definition of Caste-Based Discrimination

Defines discrimination as any unfair, biased, or differential treatment based on caste, religion, race, gender, place of birth, or disability, explicitly extending protections to SC, ST, OBC, and other marginalized groups. Excludes general category as potential victims in the framing.

Impact on General Category Students
Creates a presumption that discrimination primarily affects reserved categories, potentially leading to "reverse bias" where general category students are seen as inherent perpetrators without safeguards, fostering divisions and a chilling effect on campus interactions. This exacerbates competition, as general category enrollment has declined from 56.9% in 2010-11 to 39.2% in 2022-23, amid rising reserved category shares.

What Data says:
UGC data shows a 118.4% rise in reported caste-based discrimination cases (from 173 in 2019–20 to 378 in 2023–24, totaling 1,160 complaints), but critics argue the definition marginalizes general category students by ruling them out as victims.

Enrollment data indicates SC/ST/OBC share rose from 43.1% in 2010-11 to 60.8% in 2022-23, reducing general category access.

The regulations' wording "particularly against" reserved groups implies exclusivity, raising fears of uneven enforcement.

NEP 2020 supports equity for SEDGs but does not address general category safeguards, contributing to perceptions of systemic disadvantage..
2. Mandate for Equal Opportunity Centres (EOCs) and Equity Committees

Requires every HEI to establish EOCs for promoting inclusion and supporting disadvantaged students, along with equity committees that must include representatives from SC, ST, OBC, PwD, and women, but no mandatory representation for general category members.

Impact on General Category Students

Leads to one-sided committees that may presume guilt against general category students in complaints, eroding trust in impartial investigations and increasing vulnerability to misuse for personal or academic rivalries. This is compounded by higher dropout risks for general students due to stress, with 75% of disadvantaged students reporting discrimination in a 2019 study, indirectly heightening general category fears.

Committees lack general category representation, potentially creating biased bodies that prioritize reserved groups, as highlighted in protests and resignations.

What Data says:
A 2019 IIT Delhi study found 75% of historically disadvantaged students faced discrimination, but this setup could widen caste divisions and make general category students feel unsafe.

NEP 2020 calls for institutional plans for SEDG participation but omits balanced representation, leading to uneven resource allocation.

UGC resolved 1,052 of 1,160 complaints (90.68%), but pending cases rose from 18 to 108, signaling backlog risks for all.
