Why teachings are followed?

Why teachings are followed? Is it due to status? Is it due to showcasing super-natural powers? Is it due to miracles?

Buddha - Sometimes I wonder, if Buddha was not a prince who became enlightened and established meditation practices ... if he was a common man, would his teachings be followed by the society? 

Dhyaneshwar - Sant Dhyanneshwar's father became a monk and after few years of practicing being monk, he wanted to get back to married life again. The society backed off. No one supported a monk coming back to married life. The society started following his kids, but negatively. One of his sons, Sant Dhyaneshwar, when grew made a buffalo say vedas. A symbolic of animals are more loving, trustworthy than the "society" that time. And he can train them (the animals) on India's ancient knowledge, why can't he train humans. Another incident which gives a powerful message is, once a guru wanted to meet Sant Dhyaneshwar, to showcase his power.  He sat on the back of a tiger and came to meet him. When Sant Dhyaneshwar came to know this, he made the compound wall on which the brothers and sister were sitting and chatting, float and move to meet the guru half way. This incident symbolized, the power of a mind to do things which can not be imagined. The guru made the living tiger move, whereas Sant Dhyaneshwar made the non-living wall move. Whose mind is more powerful?

Meera - Meera was a princess and being already followed for her thoughts. When her family realized, she loves an invisible force, they tried to kill her with poison. But the invisible force came to her rescue. And she survived even after getting poisoned.

Sachin Tendulkar, Abdul Kalam Inherently follows spirituality by being down-to-earth and remaining calm (common sense, self control, judgement all the three)

Homi Bhabha - Belong to a rich family and a forward thinker. But when he decided to work in India, he worked more on "organizing science and scientists in India" rather than researching on science. If he got a chance to do more research in science, it would have been better for India.

आई बाबा

आई वडीलांचं आपल्या आयुष्यात खूप योगदान असल्याची समज मला आयुष्यात फार उशिरा आली ... जवळ जवळ वयाची पन्नाशी गाठल्यावर ... साधारणपणे मुलीच्या बाबतीत असं होत नाही ... सर्वसाधारणपणे मुली जास्त संवेदनशील असतात ... आणि आईवडिलांच्याच काय, परीवारातल्या सगळ्यांच्या योगदानाची आठवण ठेवतात ... त्यांना परतफेड करण्याची सुद्धा इच्छा असते ... आणि ती त्या प्रत्यक्षातही आणतात ... पण मी त्याला अपवाद आहे ... ही फार अभिमानाने सांगण्याची गोष्ट नाही ... अर्थातच ... आणि त्याच्या वर माझी आईपण शिक्कामोर्तब करते, की तू मुलगी नाही मुलगाच आहेस आमचा ... आईचे हे म्हणणे, भारतीय समाजातली पुरुषप्रधानता लक्षात घेता लोकांना कौतुक वाटण्याची शक्यता आहे ... पण तसा गैरसमज करून घेतला नाही तर बरं, कारण माझी आई हे बरेचसे रागावून म्हणते ...कौतुकाने नाही ... मी माझ्या वडिलांवर गेली आहे, असेही तिचे म्हणणे आहे ... पण परत कौतुक नाही, की वडिलांसारखी Engineer आहे ... फक्त वडिलांसारखी संतापते, असाच भाग आहे ... असो ... हे मी आईवर मजेशीर कौटुंबिक टीका म्हणून सांगितले ... त्यात फार काळजीचे कारण नाही ... पण विचार आला की माझ्या इथपर्यंतच्या आ...

Robotics Ideas

Robotic Cleaning - Observe the drain blockage from outside of the pipeline - Need to develop something like X-Ray machine. Which will monitor the drainages for any blockage from outside. There should not be any road digging required, to find the blockages in the underground pipelines. - Robot to clean small (1 foot wide) as well as big (10 meters wide) drainages from the blockages or garbage thrown into it - Water treatment plants wherever the water gets drained into sea or river - Garbage collection, categorization, recycling and disposal system across the countries - Robot to clean the existing garbage thrown in the river/sea - Cover any open drainages - Educate people over garbage collection, categorization, recycling and disposal system. May be in the schools. Project Description A robotic arm which is able to clean a wide (50m x 50m) dry area, with dry garbage A robotic arm which will pick up and segregate the below matter    Plastic bags         ...

Movement of the Robotic Arm

Image
Movement: 1. Keep a heap of dry garbage (a mix of plastic, paper and leaves) in a tray. The tray is rectangular and light grey in color. The tray is always kept at a specific position. Keep the tray in a closed environment  where the light source is from the left as well as from the right of the tray. The robotic arm is mounted such that it's left to right movement is parallel to the tray's longer edge.  2. Start from the top of the heap. The "heap top" can be calibrated to the left-of-larger-edge of the tray and height as high as the robotic arm can go up in the air. This larger edge of the tray is closer to the robotic arm.  3. Now start swiping the camera horizontally, parallel to the tray's larger edge which is closer to the robotic arm. While swiping pick and segregate the objects which are identified as "paper", "plastic" or "leaves".  The "identification" process is as follows. Keep swiping the arm and capture three p...
