Indian Computer Science (CS) & Information Technology (IT) Academic Reform (Past) Activism Blog Book
Main author Ravi S. Iyer created the eklavyasai.blogspot.com blog and used it from September 2011 to play a part-time, peaceful and amicable, Indian Computer Science (CS) and Information Technology (IT) academic reform, Internet-based activist role. His focus was on improving the practice of software development in Indian CS & IT academia. But he thought that it is such a vital part of the CS & IT field and that it is so poor in many parts of Indian CS & IT academia, that he referred to his efforts as Indian CS & IT academic reform activism. Other contributors to the blog have given their views on certain topics. Main work period has been from 2011 to 2014 with a little work later, off & on. The main author is no longer active in this area. This book is aimed at helping other activists involved in improving the practice of software development in Indian CS and IT academia to get the views of the blog in a convenient form.

Who am I? I am I - Ultimate Existential Reality Answer; Vedanta; God and Science conversation
iami1.wordpress.com blog book posts on: * Who am I? I am I. The Ultimate Answer to THE Existential Reality Question * Belief in God that is Compatible with Science * Contemporary (early 21st century) God and Science Conversation In spiritual posts, mention of contemporary spiritual leaders is avoided as the attempt is to emphasize spiritual teachings/paths/philosophy/knowledge which may be viewed as universal though the Hindu way of expressing them is used. It must also be mentioned that a few posts are specific to Hinduism. The God and Science conversation posts may be helpful to scientists and technologists from any religious tradition - Hindu, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, Jain, Sikh, etc. - to courageously counter ridicule of their belief in God from some atheist top scientists and technologists. Excerpts Some time ago I heard some group sing, “Love is the answer; Now, what was the question?” What a Mahavaakya (Great pithy statement)! Perhaps it is at the level of the Great Upanishadic Mahavaakyas like Thath Thwam Asi (You are That). "I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness." - Max Planck "Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are part of nature and therefore part of the mystery that we are trying to solve." - Max Planck
