Time - Book 1: Kāla Darśana Building Blocks of Time

By Ajay Chaturvedi

ABOUT THE BOOK:

What is Time, this inscrutable force that governs our existence?

Is Time simply a tool to help us keep a grip on "reality" as we go through the day? Or is there more to it? Why is the day divided into twenty-four equal segments? Why not, say, fifty or a hundred? When did Time begin-or did it begin at all? Is it linear, as often assumed? Is there a "time's arrow," as Eddington described? Or is it inherently cyclical, as the Vedas suggest? Did Time emerge out of nothing, or has it always existed, like an eternal river flowing in one direction? Is it truly "real," or merely a construct of our minds? Could science itself be rooted in a belief system? Is our linear view of Time shaped by science's economic demands?

Ajay Chaturvedi takes up the challenge of these questions and more. The Time Trilogy offers a unique Vedic perspective on the nature of Time (Kāla), the Vedāṅgas, and the Kāla Puruṣa, challenging conventional views that see Time as merely a metric for measuring intervals. In this first volume, Chaturvedi examines the Vedas as the ultimate authority, exploring Kāla, Prāṇa, Āyurveda, Yoga, and the Yugas. Through Vedic wisdom, he reveals insights on Time, longevity, and spiritual growth.
