This issue of Approaching Religion is dedicated to Terhi Utriainen, Professor the Study Religions at University Helsinki. It published on 7 November 2022, Terhi’s sixtieth birthday, and contains reflections research articles written by colleagues in Finland, UK Netherlands. All address theme rituals, which one special foci interest as a scholar religion. editorial first outlines academic career...

Multipliers are the integral components in the design of many high performance FIR filters, image and digital signal processors. Multipliers being the most area and power consuming elements of a design, area-efficient low-power multiplier architectures are in demand. In this paper, multiplier based on ancient Vedic mathematics technique has been proposed which employs 4:3, 5:3, 6:3 and 7:3 comp...

This paper describes the work done towards design and implementation of multiplier modules using high speed architectures based on the concept of Vedic Mathematics. Unlike other Vedic multipliers where entire architecture is based on generating partial products in parallel and adding them, here the partial products for top level entity are adjusted using concatenation operation and are added us...

For high speed applications, a huge number of adders or compressors are to be used in multiplications to perform the partial product addition. In this paper a new approach of reducing power for a given system is developed that is adiabatic logic. The Array multiplier, Vedic 4x4 multiplier and 8x8 multiplier are designed using energy recovery logic in the inverter. The number of adders is reduce...

The Direct Form FIR channel is utilized for DSP application where the channel request is settled. For the most part this channel devours more range and power. To defeat this issue Multiplier Control Signal Decision window (MCSD) plans is joined into Direct Form FIR channel to powerfully change the channel arrange. MCSD structures comprise of Control flag Generator (CG) and Amplitude Detection (...

Digital signal processors (DSPs) are very important in various engineering disciplines. Faster additions and multiplications are of extreme importance in DSP for convolution, discrete Fourier transforms, digital filters,etc. As in all the arithmetic operations, it is the squaring which is most important in finding the transforms or the inverse transforms in signal processing. The squaring opera...

This essay presents a summary of the Vedic theory of consciousness in juxtaposition with the parallel ideas of quantum mechanics and neu-roscience. The ancient Vedic tradition of philosophy of consciousness that goes back to at least 2000 BC posits that analytical approaches to deening awareness or personhood end up in paradox. In this tradition one views awareness in terms of the reeection tha...

Deconvolution is a computationally intensive digital signal processing (DSP) function widely used in applications such as imaging, wireless communication, and seismology. In this paper deconvolution of two finite length sequences (NXM), is implemented using direct method to reduce deconvolution processing time. Vedic multiplier is used to achieve high speed. Urdhava Triyakbhyam algorithm of anc...

The earliest more or less datable events in South Asia’s cultural history, the deathof the Buddha and the composition of Pāṇini’s grammar – respectively five andfour centuries before the beginning of the common era – antedate with one to twocenturies the start of a slow and hesitant shift from orality to the writtentransmission of sacred and literary texts in South Asia. Wit...
