If Mahabharata's Bhagvad-Gita is taken as a philosophical guide, Ramayana's Sundara Kãnda is sought for spiritual solace. What is more, many believe that reading Sundara Kãnda or hearing it recited would remove all hurdles and usher in good tidings! Well miracles apart, it's in the nature of Sundara Kãnda to inculcate fortitude and generate hope in one and all. After all, isn't it a depiction of how Hanuman goes about his errand against all odds! Again, won't it portray how Seetha, on the verge of selfimmolation, overcomes despair to see life in a new light? Besides, how Hanuman's Odyssey paves the way for Rama to rescue his kidnapped wife! One is bound to be charmed by the rhythm of the verse and the flow of the narrative in this sloka to sloka transcreation of Valmiki's adi kavya - the foremost poetical composition in the world. After all, it was the saga of Rama that inspired Valmiki the barbarian to spiritualize the same as Ramayana in classical Sanskrit!...

În mai 1997 treceam prima data Nistrul, mergând în vizita la Odesa. Eram curios Õi atent la vorbirea basarabenilor, în trenul care ma purta de la ChiÕinau, iar în jurnal îmi notam expresii tipice, din partea locului. Lilia îmi traducea din rusa - când era cazul. Mai târziu, în vara anului 2000, aveam sa cunosc Tighina Õi câteva localitaÛi din jurul Corotnei. Domnul Pavel m-a plimbat cu maÕina prin Nezavertailovka, Krasnoe, oraÕelul Dnestrovsk, Õi centrul raional Slobozia. Am târguit în Tiraspol, unde Andreica - fratele Liliei - era student la Facultatea de Geografie, în grupa moldoveneasca. Corotna este un sat moldovenesc, înconjurat de aÕezari ucraineÕti Õi ruseÕti, iar Turunciucul, un braÛ al Nistrului, trece pe la marginea satului. Oamenii locului pastreaza dulcea limba româneasca Õi aici, în Transnistria. Am selectat Õi prelucrat o parte dintre aceste poezii melancolice, de jale, de parasire, bucolice de la Svetlana Garabaji, profesoara - Õi ea - de matematica (!) la Ôcoala Româneasca din Corotna. M-am gândit atunci sa public aceste giuvaieruri de versuri idilice, folclorice: fabule moralizatoare, imnuri, cântece, poezii pentru ...

In 1980's a new movement of avant-garde arised in literature, art philosophy and science. This is based on an excessive use of antinomies. antitheses. contradictions, oxymorons, paradoxes in the creative work at both small level and global level of the creative work. The goal is the enlargement of the artistic sphere through non-artistic elements. But especially the against-the-hair, counter-time. counter-sense creation. Also, to experiment....

The author's motivating interest the past few years has been the development and dissemination of G-dimensional theory (GDT). K. Toshihara, from Japan, proposed the concept of a paper defining G-Dimensional theory in relation to the Smarandache quantum paradoxes. After reviewing a draft, Dr. M. L. Perez, Editor of the SNJ, suggested the inclusion of the Smarandache (FTL) Hypothesis as well. So it is hoped that a determination of parametric relationships between the quantum paradoxes and GDT proves helpful in advancing interest and research in both areas. It became apparent from preliminary research that, although described in several forums and papers, e.g., the Smarandache quantum paradoxes have not been analyzed in depth or in terms of their relevance to modern science theory; so that, for example, "ask the expert" type online forums offer little in the way of explanatory relevance of these paradoxes....

This book presents the advancements and applications of neutrosophics. Chapter 1 rst introduces the interval neutrosophic sets which is an instance of neutrosophic sets. In this chapter, the denition of interval neutrosophic sets and set-theoretic operators are given and various properties of interval neutrosophic set are proved. Chapter 2 denes the interval neutrosophic logic based on interval neutrosophic sets including the syntax and semantics of rst order interval neutrosophic propositional logic and rst order interval neutrosophic predicate logic. The interval neutrosophic logic can reason and model fuzzy, incomplete and inconsistent information. In this chapter, we also design an interval neutrosophic inference system based on rst order interval neutrosophic predicate logic. The interval neutrosophic inference system can be applied to decision making. Chapter 3 gives one application of interval neutrosophic sets and logic in the eld of relational databases. Neutrosophic data model is the generalization of fuzzy data model and paraconsistent data model. Here, we generalize various set-theoretic and relation-theoretic operations...

Pâna în 1984, când publica a doua editie a volumului „Le sens du non-sens”, în limba franceza, la Fés, în Maroc (prima tot în Maroc, 1983), Florentin Smarandache îsi cioplise deja câteva pietre pentru templul sau: „L’heure de la planète”, 1980, Craiova, „Formules pour l’esprit”, 1981, Bucuresti, „Problèmes avec et sans …problèmes”, 1983, Fés, Maroc (în limba franceza). Eugen Ionescu, citind volumul „Le sens du non-sens” în manuscris, l-a gasit interesant: „J’ai bien reçu votre travail et je le trouve trcs interessant. Je vous remercie de me l’avoir envoyé”. (Paris, le 6 octobre, 1983). Mai toate volumele lui Florentin Smarandache sunt precedate de manifeste nonconformiste. Matematicianul ne pune în fata proiectul si cladirea. Constructorul este, în acelasi timp, ideologul faptei. Ideea da seama de act, actul da seama de idee. Chintesenta olteanului universal este sângele libertatii. Versurile paradoxiste îsi arata coltii înca din fasa. Daca matematica, ditamai stiinta, suporta paradoxurile pe pielea sa, de ce nu si literatura, care, oricum, este cu un picior în lumina iar cu celalalt în ceata?...

Semhatarul acestor randuri se ana confruntat cu doua asertiuni. Prima. Cine este Florentin Smarandache? A doua Poetul nu are biografie; poezia este biografia sa Dar a doua asertiune vrea sa 0 elimine pe prima Nemaifiind doua nu se pune problema optiunii. Cand l-ar interesa t~i pe cititor viata unui poet? Un cititor impmimit de poezie ar putea raspunde, "niciodata". Mul, impresionat in mod deosebit de poezia sa ar simti nevoia sa posede unele date lJi despre viata lui. POOlii se impun mai greu lumii cititorilor. Un volum de poezie, in zile bune, are un tiraj de doua, trei mii de exemplare. pupa zece titluri scrise in 15-20 de ani, un poet nu este cunoscut decat in perimetru: celor treizeci de mii de cititori, posesori, uneori al numai unuia din ceIe zece titluri.

THE period covered by the inception, the publication, and the completion of the Sacred Books of the East exactly coincides with the thirty-four years that I have spent in Oxford. When I matriculated, Professor Max Muller, the editor of the series, was about to begin work on the first volume, which appeared while I was still an undergraduate. I lost no time in making his acquaintance, for it was the influence of one of his works that had stimulated me to begin under Professor Benfey the study of Sanskrit at the University of Gbttingen, when I left school nearly two years before. During my undergraduate days and later lowed much to Professor Max Muller's advice and encouragement in regard to my studies, which have ever since followed, as far as Sanskrit is concerned, much the same lines as his. I consequently always took a lively interest in the Sacred Books edited by him as they successively appeared during the course of a quarter of a century, no fewer than thirty-six volumes having a more or less direct bearing on my own work, and fourteen of the translators being personally known to me. Professor Max Mi.iller lived to see all...

Habeltt sua lata libelli-not only after they have been published, but sometimes even before they are printed. It was in the spring of 1894 that the late Professor Max Muller first suggested to me that I should compile a General Index of the names and subject-matter for the complete series of the Sacred Books of the East. Such an Index, he thought, would be a great help to all students of the Sacred Books of tile East, and of the greatest value for the study of the history of religions....
