My fellow human brothers and sisters,

The Study of Human-being could not be accomplished until now by the two major ideologies – Theism-Idealism and Materialism (Science) – that emerged and evolved in the history of humankind. I experienced happiness while informing you that – The Alternative is "Madhyasth Darshan Saha-Astitva-Vad" for which another name is "Existence-Rooted Human-Centric Contemplation". The Study of Human-being is now possible, in fact, and for coexistence with Madhyasth Darshan.

The Alternative here is an attempt to make you aware that all scrutiny, examination, and survey exercises have been completed for universalizing the study of human-being through the method of value-education based on consciousness-development. One such place is “Abhyudaya Sansthan” in Chattisgarh, India.

This presentation also elucidates how all resolved-humans can live with justice; how every resolved-family can live with resolution and prosperity; and how justice, resolution, and prosperity can be universalized in humankind through the method of education. I trust you will internalize the presented information – using your own good rationale.

The Background

The study of human-being could not be achieved by the method of instability, uncertainty rooted physical-chemical material centric ideology or Science. The study of human-being could also not be achieved by the method of mystery rooted idealistic contemplation. In both these types of ideologies, human-being has been called a kind of animal (jeev).

In the form of an alternative, via the method of existence-rooted human-centered contemplation, Madhyasth-Darshan Sah-astitva-vad recognized and helped others recognize the human-being as belonging to the knowledge-order.

According to Madhyasth-Darshan, human-being alone is the knower in existence (one who knows), existence in the form of coexistence is the reality worth knowing, in other words, is the entire reality to be known, this itself is knowledge of darshan or realistic-view. Along with this, the method for evidencing coexistence with knowledge of jeevan and complete-humane conduct has now become study-able.

The knowledge of existence rooted human-centric contemplation, Madhyasth Darshan, Sah-astitva-vad has been presented for study in literature-form by me before humankind.

Prior to existence-rooted human-centric contemplation, I (A. Nagraj, Agrahar Nagraj, Hassan district, Karnataka State, India) was initiated in spiritual-knowledge vedic-ideology based worships and actions.

(* A Nagraj was born on 14 January, 1920)

According to Vedantic-knowledge “Brahman is Real, World is Illusion” – whereas the origin of the material and conscious world has been said to have been from Brahman.

From the study of all these, there arose a question in my mind:

I got the assurance that ‘the unknown becomes known’ in the state of samadhi. On the basis of its confirmation in the scriptures, I accepted to perform the necessary activities for sadhana, samadhi and sanyam. In the state sanyam, via the method of study and realization, I obtained the complete-understanding of entire existence being and manifesting as coexistence, as a result of which Madhyasth Darshan, Sah-Astitva-vaad arose in literature form as an alternative.

According to scriptures of idealism and mystery-rooted, God-centered contemplation and tradition – “Knowledge is unmanifest and is incommunicable.”

According to Madhyasth-Darshan – Knowledge is manifest, communicable and knowable via the method of study, and it became clear that its evidence is universally achievable through human-behaviour.

In material centered ideology according to instability, indefiniteness-rooted materialism, science is believed to be knowledge, in which it is said that man hypothesizes the laws of nature. As its alternative, according to coexistentialist ‘existence rooted human-centeric contemplation’; it has been postulated that existence is stable, progress and awakening are definite, and all laws are natural in state and manifestation.

The nature of existence is not just physiochemical, but all physical, chemical, and conscious (jeevan) entities are inseparably present in the all-pervasive-entity (Omnipresence). This itself is the essence of Madhyasth Darshan, Sah-astitva-vad.
