The term “Yellow Pill” derives from the popular designation of socio-economic-political positions by names like the “Blue Pill” (surrender your individuality to the system), “Red Pill” (fight the system to get your individuality), “Green Pill” (replace the current system by a new one), etc. In the cacophony of ideologies, the discussion about the moral purpose of life and how it is achieved through society is missing.This book hopes to fill that gap; it talks about how society cannot be organized without a transcending purpose, and when such a purpose exists, the conflicts between competition and cooperation, government and business, the individual and the system, are resolved. It discusses a social model that is neither left-wing nor right-wing, and yet brings the benefits of both systems. This system is based on the ancient theory of Varna or four classes described in the Vedic texts. The book discusses the foundational ideas of this system in the context of modern social, economic, and political theories showing how stability is more important than growth, how localization is more important than globalization, and how a society organized hierarchically based on merit is better than one where everyone pretends to have equal rights.

Questions about the nature of time have always been an important part of physics and philosophy, but they have never been resolved satisfactorily. This book discusses eight such questions: -Does Time Pass?-How Does Time Pass?-Do the Past and the Future Change the Present?-Does Time Pass Uniformly?-Is Time Absolute or Relative?-Is Time Discrete or Continuous?-Is Time Reversible or Irreversible?-Is the Universe Eternal or Cyclical?These problems span classical mechanics, thermodynamics, atomic theory, relativity, and geometry, but the fundamental issues of the past and the future influencing the present are present in experience. To address the paradoxes of objectivity and subjectivity, we split causality into three questions-what, how, and why-and attribute them to time, matter, and observers. This leads us to a hierarchical, closed, and cyclical view of space and time. Causality is not just in matter; it is also in time and in observers; but the three kinds of causalities are different as answers to different questions. A tripartite causal model overturns the assumptions about space, time, causation, and natural laws in modern science; but this shift is imperative to address all the questions of time satisfactorily.

Cosmic Theogony describes the Vedic trinity comprising the deities Vishnu, Shiva, and Brahma, which reflect the three aspects of the soul in Vedic philosophy, namely, cognition, emotion, and relation. The trinity initially led to the worship of the sun, the moon, and the stars, and then to the three dominant forms of religion, namely, monotheism, monism, and polytheism prevalent today. It discusses the similarities between Greek, Roman, and Egyptian mythologies and the Vedic one, as well as the conceptual foundations on which three types of calendars-solar, lunar, and sidereal-are based, showing how the number of months in a year, days in a month, and hours in a day are not an accident; they are rather based upon a science of concepts reflected in our language and our minds. The book also discusses the myriad similarities between world religions, using which we can create a tree of classification.
