You had mentioned this Athirathram in your blog dated Friday, January 07, 2011, and again two days ago (apr 2nd, 2011 CE). Under the blog of January, I had posted a comment, and I seek your permission to repeat it:
“As far as my information goes, an Athiratra Yagna was conducted in Kerala in 1975. It was repeated in 1990. A number of Indian and foreign "scientists" participated in it, and monitored its alleged effects on climate, and growth and behaviour of plant and animal life, including "psychological behaviour of humans". It was all weird. University of California funded the 1990 yagna to the tune of Rs 5 million, and Dr Johan Fritz Staal, Professor of Philosophy at the University at that time, supervised the yagna.
Staal, born a Dutchman, did his Doctorate in Indian philosophy under Professor Mahadevan of Madras University, sometime in 1955-'60. (At that time he held a Master's degree in Mathematics from a Dutch University.) He has travelled extensively in India while doing his PhD, and received funds for all that from the Dutch govt.
Now, why should the Calif Univ give so much money for a Yagna? No American, no foreigner, gives you a free lunch. I have a feeling the purpose has been to build a network of "agents". WE HAVE TO BE ALERT AND VIGILANT.
We have to be equally vigilant about foreign based "gurus" (e.g. SN Goenka ("Vipassana" teacher), Sri Sri Ravi Shankar), and also their Indian counterparts (like "Satya" Sai Baba), who have managed to infiltrate our government agencies like the police force, top research institutions like the AIIMS and perhaps even defence forces and the Government of India itself. These fake gurus are entirely different from the genuine sages like the Shankaracharyas.”
I remember also that fake scientific devices like "Kirlian photography" were brought into play in the 1975 event, probably for impressing the local population.
Please BEWARE OF THESE "INDOPHILES". Professor Staal may be a genuine one, but he may be being used.
Happy Yugadi...
uddharet, for some strange reason your comment went into the spam folder. i just found it by chance when checking my mail.
sri sri ravi shankar is based in bangalore.
i think the sai baba has done a lot of good, as has, say, mata amritanandamayi.
but this whole vipassana thing, i have found, is anti-hindu; strangely enough, because buddhists are not anti-hindu in general, the even the buddha wasn't, this vipassana somehow is. this i have no first hand experience for.
as for why whites fund anything in india, it is for purposes of cultural appropriation. the xtists in kerala have been happily stealing lots of hindu artifacts. for instance, lots of churches now sport the hindu flagpole and hindu oil lamps (except these have a darn cross on top).
