Chant Be Happy #4 – Jason singing Hari Om
Tuesday, April 27th, 2010
www.myspace.com www.obnamasteyoga.com Bhagavad Gita 10.11 teṣām evānukampārtham aham ajñāna-jaḿ tamaḥ nāśayāmy ātma-bhāva-stho jñāna-dīpena bhāsvatā To show them special mercy, I, dwelling in their hearts, destroy with the shining lamp of knowledge the darkness born of ignorance. Purport by His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada When Lord Caitanya was in Benares promulgating the chanting of Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare, thousands of people were following Him.

Metaphysics meets epistemology: Does a universe containing absolutely no sentience exist?
Tuesday, April 27th, 2010I say no, but this might get some interesting answers.
I know people rarely return to these questions but here is an amendment to the:
Suppose that you either imagine or conjecture the existence of some alternate universe and come reasonably close in that hypothesis, such that you could devise a reasonable ‘experiment’ to test for its existence; in so doing, would you not have ‘communicated’ sentience into that universe?
Paradoxically, you have proven that you cannot prove its [universe containing no sentience] existence or non-existence.
When one attributes ‘existence’ to some phenomenon, aren’t they really attributing ‘meaning’?
