Karma in Economics

Economics affects every aspect of our lives, yet many of us don’t fully understand it. In this article, we explore the connection between economics, politics, and diplomacy and how they impact our world. We delve into the concept of Karma, as explained in ancient Vedic texts, to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying issues facing the global economy today. Through this lens, we can decode complex economic scenarios and understand the consequences of past actions. By accepting our past Karmas, we can learn from our mistakes and work towards creating a better future for ourselves and the world.

The Role of Vedic Knowledge in the Digital Age

The concept of age-old Vedic knowledge may seem far removed from the digital and planetary age, but could it actually hold the key to transforming digital technologies beyond anyone’s expectations? In this article, we explore the fascinating aspects of Vedic knowledge that have influenced the very existence of digital technologies, including the discovery of zero and its significance in science and mathematics. We also discuss how Vedic knowledge could provide valuable insights into the development of artificial intelligence and machine learning, and why understanding the mind is essential for making the next transition in AI. Join us on this journey of discovery into the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern technology.
