Sri Atmananda Krishna Menon Thoughts on Time

Time is believed to be composed of the past, present and future. Of these three, the past is past only in reference to the present and the present is present only in relation to the past, future is future only in reference to the present. So all three being interdependent, even for their very existence, it has to be admitted by sheer force of logic that none of them is real. Therefore, time is not.

Experience is the only criterion by which the reality of anything can be decided. Of the three categories of time, past and future are not experienced by any, except when they appear in the present. Then it can be considered only as present. Even this present – when minutely examined – reduces itself into a moment which slips into the past before you begin to perceive it, just like a geometrical point. It is nobody’s experience. It is only a compromise between past and future as a meeting point. Thus present itself being only imaginary, past and future are equally so. Therefore, time is not.

Badrinath is a holy and major pilgrimage centre located in Himalayan Region at Uttrakhand in INDIA at about 3311 meter MSL. I have visited so many times at Badrinath. After reach at Badri Dham all human beings felt that they have been excused by almighty for their past mistakes, it can not only think if any body will pray to the GOD for his mistakes in their past their lives will be very smooth. Really the atmosphere of the Area is very good. All of us who visit the Badrinath should be aware to not to polute the atmosphere. Besides this the Uttrakhand Govt. should have taken steps to make the accommodation rates fixed by cheapest in all Hotels, Inn and Guest Houses, so all people can stay there easily without feeling any uncomfortability.

Thanks
