Distance of Sun from Earth- Calulated through "Hanuman Chalisa" , An Ancient Hindu Prayer

  (Source of Image-http://barryonenergy.files.wordpress.com)

Modern Science and Astronomy says that-

Distance of Earth from Sun is 152 million km.

 I came across an interesting post on FaceBook  regarding this distance calculation and thought to share an elaborate verison of it with you all. It will help you to understand the significance of our ancient principles, technology and culture.

  Two lines of Hindu Prayer " Hanuman Chalisa" computes that distance with great simplicity and that too quite accurately -

! जुग सहस्त्र योजन पर भानु, लील्यो ताहि  मधुर फल जानू !

This means that Sun (भानु ) is at a distance of  Juug Sahastra Yojans (जुग सहस्त्र योजन- Distance Unit in Hindi)

According to following conversion practices that are in use as per Hindu Vedic Literature-

1Juug= 12000
Sahastra= 1000
1Yojan=8 Miles

Thus 12000X1000X8 = 96,000,000  miles

I miles= 1.6 kms

This further implies that distance is about 153,600,000 Km.

Some google research told me that in the 17th century two scientists Giovanni and Richer have calculated the distance of sun from earth  accurately and real close( at 140 million kilometers) to now officially declared figures.

Hanuman Chalisa has been validated by Goswami Tulsidas who is believed to be of 15th Century. This means distance of Sun from Earth has been calculated much more accurately than these 17th century scientists even two centuries before their birth.

Question here is not how Tulsidas calculated this distance or how he came to know about this distance.
But the attention of the moment should be on that people even in that age have knowledge and capabilities that is beyond the imagination of our so called  todays advanced nuclear energy age. 

 History is not presented to us in a way it should be. There are still many elements and precious jewels of information that are being kept hidden from us.

Ocean of history is before you, dive in and dig the jewels out.The gleaming beam of knowledge from these jewels will not only enrich our country but will also keep bestowing direction to our future generations.  

An Endless Search For MOTIVATION-Ends Here

Here comes the darkness'

Full of unpredictable and wild moments'

Heart is at Stake and beats becomes drum'

Brain becomes numb and Life runs on rum'

Time can be the biggest villain and greatest hero in any body's life. Sometimes it gives pleasant surprises and othertimes aukward memories. In these circumstances the very often question is search for some source of power to rise again, answers to tackle questions like sunnyday drained by rains, and the most important thing is to get motivated consequently so as to prevent efforts go in vain.

In these times look upon your past, remember the winning moments, glorious memories and feel like winner you always had been. Let rewind reel of those old times in our brain when times were perfect, everything would fall in place as it should be and we often portray that winning smile on our face.

Read biographies of great personalities of history, listen stories of your ancestors from granny and analyze how they have struggle their path towards greatness.

Remember-

• Daylight comes always after Night
• When those times have passed-by these times too will be soon
• Sometimes path of life extends beyond those blind ends
• You are born to live your Life and realize the Call of your Destiny

Remember those stormy nights

When you had most daring fights

Everybody was staring at you; ready for a strike

Thunder lights and no mights

In those darkest moments 

Almighty Grants you a boon

 To be realized soon

Bell rings and you remember winning sights

Ray of hopes and Power of motivation

Started flowing in your veins

Fight, Fight and Fight

Try, Try and one more Try

Let it happens till you dry

Now the world is at your feet 

And Destiny is calling you for a meet

OM-The Eternal Sound of Universal Rhythm

 (Source Of Image- http://www.awakenvisions.com)

"OM"- A rhythm as powerful as earthquake has the power to echo through our lives in a form that is similar to rise of 'Phoenix from the Ashes'. Helps in the discovery of whole new you, Infact the 'Real Me'.

Om is basically a divine and sacred symbol, syllable in Hinduism. It is chanted with influence and focus on three sanskrit words as " aa, au and ma". It is said to posses all the vibrations in the Universe.

Such is the power of this divine syllable that every 'Mantra' in Hindusim is assigned to begin and end with OM only. The easiest and quickest way to feel the presence of divine power around and within us is by humming this sacred sound of "OM".

Scientists and Practioners all over the world have feel different advantages of OM through their Experiments and Experiences as listed below-

• Helps in gaining focus by removing distractful thoughts from the mind.
• Helps in calming the nervous system and thus increasing our emotional quotient.
• Helps in relaxation of body and mind by slowing down the breathing process.
• Makes the surrounding atmosphere soother and thus oxygenation of our whole body.
• Vibrations produced during chanting of OM is helpful in recovering body from many diseases and strengthening our immune system.

How to Chant "OM"

As explained before that OM consists of three sanskrit words-" aa, au and ma", so during chanting process we should first start with "aa". Sound of "aa" should start with our centre point of stomach and then without any break or obstruction move on to "au". Sound of "au" should start with our heart and then further move on to sound "ma" starting it from our vocal cord. 

Important-Before beginning this process take a deep breath (Inhale Air) as chanting is completly and continous exhaling process. Start with "aa" move on to "au" and end the cycle with humming of  "ma" a bit longer than previous two words. 

"OM" can not be bounded to any single religion.It is just that Hinduism has understood its significance and therfore has made "OM" an important aspect of its philosophy. Our sages(ancient times) have done penance and hardships for prolong period of time to understand "OM". Otherwise it is a mystical gift of GOD to humankind. Feel it, Enjoy this and Get Elevated.

Don't wait now, Don't Waste You time any Further, Include "OM" in your life and get connected to "Divine", The Almighty straight away.

Afterall Spirituality along with History is needless to say, powerful enough; to guide us into a bright new Future World.

Jwala Ji- The Eternal Flame even Akbar and Time Couldn't Extinguish

  JAI MAA JWALA JI

 (Source of Image:www.maavaishnavi.com)

"Jwala Ji" is name of Hindu Goddess in Hinduism. She is said to resides as an eternal flame since time infinity near a place called Kangra in Lower himalayas, India.

The mystical and astonishing fact about this flame is that it is burning since time immemorials.

Mythological legend goes that when Lord Shiva was in unconsious state due to death of his wife Sati who threw herself in holy altar after her father accused Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu divided Sati's body into fifty one pieces which fell on earth at various places. These places came to known as ShaktiPeeths and where Sati's tongue fell is Jwala Ji.

Some facts that can be traced in this regards-

1. The flame burns flawless and in blue colour. (Scientifically this signifies complete combustion.)
2. It is burning continously since first date of its known history. (Scientifically the source could be renewable in nature)
3. We don't have any knowledge of its source. Some says it could be reserve of natural gas but same could not be validated.
4. Legend goes that Akbar even tried to extinguish this eternal flame but couldn't get successful and the same could be validated in the form of golden umbrella which turned into copper (gift of Akbar in honour of Goddess Jwala Ji) in the temple.
5. Governement of India with team of abled Geologists under Nehru Ji has also tried but in vain to establish the source of this eternal flame.

I think if it is spring of natural gas which is said to be the source of Eternal Fire as mentioned in Wiki, then why any other natural occurence of sacred flame as Jwala Ji can not be found in other parts of world posseing numerous springs of natural gas. Although I too beleive that there is surely some other phenomena and science that is working behind Jwala Ji eternal flame but that can be indication of glory of our ancestors.

Now many people can give the example of Baku Ateshgah, a place in Azerbaizan wherein a similar temple is said to be created since fire is sacred to both hinduism and zoroastranism. It has been established that the same was due to source of natural gas in the rocky region that begins around 16th century and is exhausted in current times.Case of Jwalaji temple is different since the flame is burning since time immemorial and is till burning naturally.

If you happen to go to Jwala Ji temple, notice that under the divine grace of Maa Jwala Ji, priest who perform prayers daily in the temple remains unaffected by the eternal flame (blue in colour) despite putting his hand in the flame to give blessings of "Maa" to her devotees.  

Conclusion is that everything can not be tested and verified on principles of science and that is why it is often said " Where the thinking boundary of Science ends, Region of Spirituality begins".

Future World Needs Sustainable Construction- A Historical Reference

A Sustainable World

Construction, Repairing and Maintenance

3 modern buzz words of our ERA which goes simultanously with any infrastructural development activity i.e. you construct a facility, then to sustain it you need to maintain it and maintenance needs repairing at regular intervals.

We can not plan and imagine any infrastructural activity budget without allocating a substantial percentage of fund for repair and maintenance of the same. Still life of the structure can not be assured for even 100 years confidently despite all this hassles. 

Infrastructure is booming up and being developed at very fast pace all around the world. It has become almost synonymous primary factor with country's growth and future development. But the question of the hour is- Are we building an Infrastructure Durable and Sustainable enough to serve our future generations too?

Lets have a look at era of construction of some famous infrastructure (Monuments) from our history around the World-

Great Wall of China, China                     -  Constructed Around 7th Century B.C.

Petra, Jordan                                               -              Constructed Around 100 BCE

Machu Picchu, Peru                                     -              Constructed Around 1450 CE

Chichen Itza, Mexico                                   -              Constructed Around 600 CE

Colosseum, Italy                                         -               Constructed Around 80 CE

Taj Mahal, India                                          -               Constructed Around 1648 CE

Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt                     -            Constructed Around 2560 BCE

These are those examples of infrastructure marvels that have not only withstood the test of time but also had able to maintain adequate foothold till date without much repairing and maintenance activity.All these were sustainable and durable enough to withstand not only expectations of multiple generations but also deteriorating forces of nature.                                                                                                                                                                                         We can learn and deduce a lot of information from our history by analysing these structures for- Material Used by them, Construction techniques employed by our ancestors and their designing and planning methodolgy. This information can be very well employed to use with aid of our modern technology and resources to build a more durable and sustainable world. eg- In Construction of Great Wall of China, local materials were used in building keeping in mind economy and harmony with local environment. In construction of Taj Mahal wooden foundations were used fully submerged in Yamuna  Water, refer                                          "Taj Mahal & Its Wood Foundation"                                                                                                                                                                                               This is other side of Story that due to pollution, devasting earthquakes and human interference these structure are in a state of deterioration today and demands much attention along with restoration works.

		Although a significant repairing and maintenance activity can not be "zeroed in", focus should be on minimising it by building a more durable and sustainable infrastructure.
		In the field of Construction it is often said that "Experience is the best teacher" and we can not get a more better account of such details in trails of Experience left by our ancestors embedded in our Historical Monuments and Marvels.

VAASTUSHASTRA- Ancient Science Equivalent to Modern Civil Engineering

"Vaastu Shastra" is an ancient Indian Science literally means "Science of Construction" or "Science of Architecture". This science is based on the concept of laws of nature and notion that house or construction should be built in harmony with nature. It further mentions that five basic elements of nature i.e.earth, water, fire, air and sky should be balanced while the construction is carried out.

Science of Vaastu is as old as our Indian Civilization and whole world knows how old is Indian Civilization! In fact many principles of our modern civil engineering can find its roots in Vaastu Shastra. The details of the same can be easily found in one of the four Vedas- "Yajur Veda".

Scientific Explanation and Reasoning of Vaastu Shastra

The most prominent form of forces not only on our Earth but in entire Solar System are Gravitational Force and Magnetic Force which of course find their roots in each other. You can refer my article to read how a man can be affected by Gravitational Forces- Indian Astrology- Science Behind It, Validated by Newton's Law

Now,Vaastu says that every plot or house can be divided in eight directions and every direction has a  GOD     ( Scientifically, Form of Energy) associated with it which is as follows-

East (E)->Indra(Earth)

South-East(SE) ->Agni(Fire)

South(S) ->Yama

South West(SW) ->Niruthi

West(W) ->Varuna(Water)

North West(NW)  ->Vaayu(Air)

North(N) -> Kubera

North East(NE) -> Eswar(Sky)

                We know that magnetic field of our Earth is from South to North and Spinning of our earth is from West To East. If we assume for a momment that earth is spinning in a particular direction and thus the direction of air friction( though there is no air in universe) will be in opposite i.e from east to west. It is just like opposing friction force to running tyre on ground.

Same way vaastu says that energy(Energy of Sun and Air)comes from east direction and should be blocked appropriately in house to go out from west direction. Further magnetic field flows from South to North Direction, it will keep the flow of energy intact in our house forever and this will give us good health, peace of mind which in turns gives us prosperity. Indian Scripture says that we should sleep with our head in South direction and the same has been validated by western scientists too.(Our Bio-Magnetism In harmony with Earth's Magnetism)

I will not go into much details of Vaastu (briefly you can refer them in diagram at the start of article),my only point is scientific principles behind vaastu. Now let me tell you few principles of vaastu which have given birth to great principles of our Modern Civil Engineering.

Two Principles of Soil Tests according to Vaastu-

1-Dig a hole equal to the length of one hand deep in the ground. Exacavate the mud out of the hole completely and then refill it with this excavated mud. If quantity of mud excavated out is greater that the volume of the hole, then land is very good, If it is equal, then land is normal, If it is less, then not fit for construction. If any Civil or Geotechnical Engineer is reading this article then he can very well associate this principle with modern compaction soil test inference.

2-Dig a hole in the ground, excavate the soil and fill it with water. Then go walking for 100 yards. After walking 100 yards, return and notice the water level in the hole. If the water level is same as we have left, then land is very good, if it is little bit less, then land is normal and if it is very less, land is unfit for construction. Yeah,  Construction professionals can easily relate this test to fineness and seepage tests of soil along with nature of soil.

Though the vaastu is mentioned in "Yajur Veda", the established and validated source of its existence as per historians is Age of Raja Bhoja. Raja Bhoja was an Ancient Indian King of 11th Century who have written the most prominet scripture on VaastuShastra " SamranngSootraDhar". If we take this is as a reference, we can easily deduce that people who have given our Civil engineering its foundation principles must have found their source of inspiration from Ancient Indian Constuction Science- Vaastushastra only; in one way or other because there is no other ancient science in the world that can explain Science of Construction with such a depth along with its length and breadth.

Vaastu believes that five elements of nature should be harmony with each other because they represent not only natural forces but our five senses too-

Fire-Eyes(Vision)- SUN

Air-Touch(Skin)- WIND

Space- Sound(Ears)- SOUND Energy

Earth-Smell(Nose)- GRAVITATIONAL & MAGNETIC FORCES

Water-Taste(Tongue)- RAINS and RIVERS

We all are wise enough to admit the fact that nothing can give true happiness unless you have health and peace of mind, prerequsite to enjoy worldly pleasures. 

Vaastu thus is a science that compliments the art of construction.

Note- This artilce is written after detailed study from many books on Vaastu and Indepenent research on internet.

HISTORY- Teacher of Management Principles

                                                           (Source of Image-http://epitom.wordpress.com)


History is like a sea where you can always discover things having mystical abilities that can quite amaze you.

The deeper you go, the more your luck of discovering some thing amazing sticks out!

I have also found just an amazing link of History with what we call buzz word  " Management" in today's Corporate World.

Yeah History is the Best Teacher of Management as Experience is the Best Definition of Management and History stores lot of accounts of such management tactics from world over.
In India, you will often hear corporate and management gurus quoting " Bhagwad Gita" as master peice of management book on earth. Future Group( Big Bazzar Fame) is using Management tactics based on mythological epic " Mahabharta" to tackle issues related to HR and its operations.

Similarly if you take any incident of history or any record of history you are bound to gain some great insights into management tips and tactics our ancestors have used.

Quoting an example of History- I am damn sure that all of you must have heard about famous movie        " 300". In this 300, warriors from Spartan are able to defeat enemies of 100,000 army through planned and carefully executed strategy with team work.It is one of the masterpiece incident that depicts how a Small and Novice Entreprise with limited resources and planning can wipe out Big organizations in competition. A real world example could be taken from Entertainment Industry in India where a newly launched channel "Imagine" in 2008 have carved out its own niche among reigning supremos like "Star TV", "Zee Tv" and "Sony" in a short span of time.

Taking example from Indian History- I don't think any body here can deny the fact that "Chanakya"was the first Management Guru. For those who don't know about him let me tell you that it is only under the guidance of this Wizard and Learned Personality of Strategic Planning and Politics that a mere humble, poor boy without any background became the First Emperor of whole Ancient India.

Well History is a great Teacher , The only thing we need in current times are its Preacher.

HEN THEORY- Philosophical Science, Age Old Thoery,New Generation

HEN THOERY-Well a very odd name likely for this blog on history and science.

You must be guessing how "Hen" has a relation with history and science. Clearing off the mystery from the air I will explain how a rather simple phenomenon of philosophical science observed from our history can be explained with a much rather common behaviour of "Hen".

Lets discuss Catching a Hen-

 (Source of image- www.supercoloring.com)

One of the studious task is to catch a hen even if it is in your domestic pen. Chase the hen as much as you can and then after much efforts you will definitely catch a hen, thanks to your constant effort without giving up and tiresome hardwork. But is this catch can be considered as a worthy prize analyzing the input of hardwork that goes into it?

Definitely "yes" for some people and for others "not"! For this others "not" category my reason and arguement is that this work could be done much easily, then why to waste uneccessary energy and time.

Most of you will agree that if we do not chase hen, hen will not run away from us. Now slowly and carefully we can move ahead towards hen and then at a flash of time we can catch the hen without much effort.

This is called making your move at the right time and with right tools which you would have never achieved if you had diverted your focus only in running over the hen all over the pen.

Life also goes like that-

If you will keep chasing life, life will run away from you.You will not able to cherish the moments that it will give you, will not able to cash in the opportunities its present you and lastly will never be able to cultivate memories that will give you strength to enjoy life at its fullest.

Understand life like a hen, stop chasing it, instead move ahead by doing what you can do best looking for suitable moments and when life presents you with an opportunity, grab it at an instant of time with adrenaline rush of all your focussed energy. You can easily do this since you will not be tired chasing over the life and opportunities but rather will be fresh and healthy to achieve almost any thing achievable.

History-

There are numerous examples lying all over history wherein great men and personalities have achieved their respective destiny by understanding only this basic principle of life.Take for example life of Mahatma Gandhi who was in Africa chasing his life of a barrister. Until then he was Mohanchand Gandhi but when he slowed down and reflected over his life due to that "Train Incident" he became Mahatma Gandhi.

Most of us are chasing life, we are not living life. In the morning we have to do something, in the afternoon other thing and in the night sleeping. Why we are doing this ? Life is not a race to be win neither a chase to be accomplished! Rather, It is a wonderful gift of God to achieve our destiny on earth and be merry.

Don't chase life, Life is not a race, Live Life as if catching a hen in the pen.

Power of Rudraksha- Ancient India :Ancient Science, Relevant Till Times

 

 (Source of Image:www.rudraksha-world.com)

RUDRAKSHA- A word so powerful that a mere understanding of thy is enough to fill our mind with holiness and spirituality.

To unknowns, talking on the pure scientific terminology it can be introduced as a fruit borne by the tree belonging to Elaeocarpus family with E.Ganitrus being the principal species. But it is more than a tree fruit simply.

Rudraksha is a holy bead that gives both spiritual and physical benefits.

 Let us explore the Spiritual Side-

• It is respected by allmost all religions and people of different cultures (who are aware about its presence)
• It is considered as a holy bead which can be used to connect oneself with Divinity.
• They are also knwon as Prayer Beads.
• Rudraksha is found in nature in different colours and faces ranging from 1 to 108, which symbolises different spiritual and materialistic benefits accordingly.
• Person who wears rudraksha and follows righteous path gets his all sins washed.

Exploring the scientific side-

• An electromagnetic field surrounds the rudraksha and the same has been verified in the labs.
• Thus it helps in acheiving the trinity of healthy mind and body with pure soul to its wearer.
• It also helps in controlling the stress levels and enhances the inner power.
• It helps in maintaining the blood pressure.

History depicts a legend behind this Holy Tree- Once Lord Shiva ( One of  the three Supreme Powers Of Universe according to Hindu Mythology) was in penance state since long time and suddenly one day he opened his eyes.Out of the sheer joy and fulfillment of the element of divinity he had experience while doing penance, few drops of tears fall from his eyes and fell on earth. Those tears are said to be converted in Rudraksha Tree.

That is why the tree is called Rudraksha, Rudra means" Lord Shiva" and aksha means " Eyes".

Logical Links between the Legend and Habitat of Rudraksha

Rudraksha Tree is found mainly in the Foothills of Himalaya and Mansrovar Region. According to ancient scripts and puranas it is said that Lord Shiva resides on Himalaya top. Thus it is natural that rudraksha is also found in foothills of Himalaya showing that the legend bears some connection with the habitat of this tree; unknown to us.

 Friends, the knowledge which our forefathers knows centuries ago is validated now by modern scientist and labs of current era. Why it took us so much time to believe in the advanced science that our forefathers have bestowed us? It is just the matter of faith and belief. Whatever is written in our renowned ancient sriptures, is the findings of our ancient rishis(scientists) and scholars based on experience only; gained after long periods of penance and meditation. We should revive that knowledge using scientific tools and technology available today to give a new realm to our understanding.

This is possible only if we reaccess our lives and dig into the knowledge lying embedded in scripts and ancient literature which can also give a meaningful direction to our quest of evolution in terms- physically, scientifically and spiritually.

My Final Views

RUDRAKSHA-"Though it is an Ancient Science but has not lost its Relevance even in the Current Times"

A good scientific analysis on medical terms in detail about rudraksha can be found here.

History teaches Us that Power lies inside Us only!

                                                            (Source of Image-pravstalk.com)


I was exhausted, was feeling as if had been drained of every sigle drop of Blood. Was searching some source of Energy to feed me up. Looking for some reservoir from where I can take some power to gain some momentum to move ahead in Life. Had searched every single bit of Land, took a dive into depths of ocean, scanned whole lot of sky, still the search was on & on for that source of "energy", which now seems to be a hypothetical phenomena.
At last handling failure from all sides and fed up till last breath, took a minute to sit & relax myself.

"EUREKA"                                   "EUREKA"                                             "EUREKA"

That  source of energy which I was hunting in this mortal world is found atlast! And that too at a place very near to my reach. Yeah, that magical reservoir of energy was found inside me, my heart.

Friends that is the case with most of us. Often it happens that something which we are searching in whole world founds atlast somewhere very near to us. Now the question arises that if our desirable thing was so close to us, why couldn't we found it at first glance itself? The answer is Simple! We never bothered to search, infact ignored it's existence aound our surroundings and within us.

 Would like to quote some examples from History where people have become great by only discovering this hidden source of energy inside them.

Who is not aware of Name of Napolean Bonaparte? He was second child in the lineage of eight brothers and sisters.He had faced lot of difficulties in his life but what led him through these turbulent times was his discovery of this reservoir of power inside him. That is why-
It is said only that person is able to win the wars of life who believes that something inside him is superior to circumstances.
Taking Instance from the Hebrew Bible and the famous fight between Young David and Giant Goliath, it was only this reservoir of power in Young Goliath's Heart that gave him courage to fight with Giant Goliath and will to succeed too.
Ramayana of Hindu mythology also describes how Shri Rama has bound courage to fight the mighty Ravana when he was facing an exile in the forest. Shri Rama believed that something inside him powers up, sustained him with all good virtues against all odds. Tulsidads has described it in great details in Ramayana as "Ravanu Rathi Birath Raghubira".
Now the question arises what is this great source of power or reservoir of power that can fuel you up till your last breath?

This is the question whose answer only you can find and that too only through a voyage within Yourself, "a discovery of true you." For some it can be God worship and faith, extensive desire to achieve something, love for someone, memories etc. For others it could be anything ranging from special abilities, rare attributes etc.

Friends we all have a reservoir of energy and power inside us waiting to be discovered so that we can utilize that source to live a happy, satisfied and meaningful life. Last, but not the least to help ourselves to evolve into a more developed personality and human being.

Remember- "There is no difference between an Ordinary Man and a Hero except that Hero lasts five minutes longer."
 SO
Next time if you need boost up of that extra energy, don't search it somewhere outside You but take inspiration from History and try to discover it within You .

History-A Source of Inspiration, Aspiration and Perspiration to realize your Dreams

I love History not because I love being a traditional person, Not because I want to live in the past, Neither I love to read piece of literature which is no more in existence...But I love History because

It inspires me from the valour of our forefathers.

It teach me mistakes done by our previous generation and lessons learned by them.

It gives me base to build a better future for our next generation and improves our present.

It aspires me to achieve something, to make a difference not only in my life but in the life of people all around the globe.

It shows me way to realize my dreams by giving a sufficient account of database of what had been achieved in this moral world and what is still need to be achieved.

It has preserved technologies, gems of wisdom, and culture that we might have left in the past by mistake to move forward, which can be too valuable for us in our present time.

Taking examples from Indian History- There were great kings like Chandragupta Maurya who had unified major part of Indian sub continent at a sheer age of  just 20. Take example of Alexander the great or Napolean whom achievements needs no mention. They are ideals as they have done something which was never done before them, they have set new benchmarks and have left their footprints on the sands of time forever. Chatrapati Shivaji who founded the Maratha Empire has started capturing forts at age of 16.

A common thing which can be deduced in all these great personalities is that History have played an important role in shaping their personality along with their charater. And had induce courage and zeal in them to achieve something that can justify their birth on this earth.

So friends...............................

History is not just another boring chapter and account of our past but is wisdom of past which can be used in our present to build a better tommorow and prosperous future.

Tune in your Positive Energy-Negative Energy-A Concept and Thinking

(Source of Image-Weblobby.net)

"Negative energy breeds negative energy. Positive energy breeds positive energy"

Positive Energy----------------Negative Energy

These are not just two words but more than words, in fact an experience which everyone undergoes through .....

The words often found in scriptures and religious literature alike all over the world is embedded with a whole different world of psychology behind them.

To Illustrate-

Why is it often so that we feel good by visiting a peculiar place, meeting a peculiar person, eating a peculiar thing or doing a peculiar activity???????????

Have you ever thought about it????

Actually all these things are consequences of positive energy that helps stimulates 'Feel Good Chemical' in our brain.

All of you must have heard of energy but what is exactly this positive energy or negative energy???

Positive energy is nothing but more energy or energy in higher amount and rate, Negative energy is just vice-versa of this i.e energy in significantly less amount. Although there are other theories about positive and negative energy relating them to the nature of energy in traditional physics, we will focus on above concept of energy which is equivalently mentioned in science.

 How can we get positive energy and how to reduce negative energy must be the next question framing in your mind!!!

Friends our body's structure is very complicated in nature. For easy understanding one can refer that the mechanism is highly scientific and hence body can be signified as a machine constructed by most genius scientist in whole universe-GOD. We all know that our body produces Vitamin D when it comes in contact with sun rays, likewise our body can also absorb energy apart from producing energy with in us which is a routine body activity. 

Do the things you like, do good deeds, help others, think positive are some things that can help you increase your positive energy level. Energy is everywhere around us, just we have to trained our senses to feel it and soaked it through our body. Exercises are often among best methods to increase your energy levels and traditional methods such as Qi Excercises, Yoga are gems of our scriptures devised for benefit of mankind only. These traditional methods help us to train our senses and organs to operate at their maximum efficiency taking advantage of energy in nature, our surroundings, good people and holy beings.

What is the need of this theory???

So this theory has been conceptualized to correlate different moods of human being, effect of environment and surrounding on human beings, give them a chance to enjoy beauty of life by bringing in more energy in their life and feel good about it. Actually it indicates that this life, (Gift of God) is too short to be get worried by simple and irrelevant things, too naive to get depressed. Enjoy life, every moment of life for ZINDAGI MILEGI NA DOBARA (Boon of Life will not be granted to you second time)

In the end remember, we need to balance both positive energy and negative energy in the best interest of our health for too much of anything is not good for anybody.Friends as we need to connect both positive and negative terminals of battery to let the current flow, like wise we need both type of energies to maintain flow and spirit in life too.

Hence it is once again evident that our scriptures and literature are immense source of information only waiting to be tapped and discovered.

Energy Dissipator, God Shiva and River Ganga- Revealing Fact about Hydro Projects

(Source of Image -Adrishta.com)

"Incident of River Ganges Coming to Earth from Heaven"

Mythological incidents gives a lot of valuable insight and information about many common as well as technical processes employed in various activities. It needs only some careful studies to identify them and constant research to develop them to a level wherein they can be put into practise in our day to day life.

Ganga is not only largest but also a very sacred river of India. The sacredness of this river can be guessed from the fact that its water never gets putrefy no matter how long you keep it into storage.

According to our mythology Ganga was born as a Goddess in Heaven in pot of God Brahma while he was worshipping Lord Vamana (Incarnation of God Vishnu). Story further goes like this that only Goddess Ganga had the power to purify the sins and liberate the souls of the dead. There used to be a king on earth named Sagar who had 60000 sons and they have committed a mistake by the virtue of which there souls could not be liberated. It took seven generation's hard penance to please God Brahma to let Ganga come on earth. But God Brahma told to seventh descendant of King Sagar-Bhagiratha that force (or velocity) of Ganga while descending from Heaven to earth will be so much that it will overhelm the entire earth. To avoid this Bhagiratha has to convince God Shiva to bear the energy of Riven Ganga and then let her flow to earth.This is how River Ganga came to earth from Heaven.

Now taking reference of this mythological story we can deduce some very important information that can be put to use in the construction of our Hydro Power Projects.

Considering Heaven as Upstream Area and Earth as Downstream Area, River Ganga flows from Upstream to Downstream with a very high velocity and force. God Shiva was present in downstream area on Mountain Kailash who have dissipated the energy of River Ganga to prevent the overhelming. 

Taking Shivlinga as a symbol of God Shiva, a valuable inference can be drawn from this mythological story that "Shape of ShivaLinga can act as Best Energy Dissipator".

Definition of Energy Dissipator in reference to Hydro Projects can be cited as "Energy dissipators are any device designed to protect downstream areas from erosion by reducing the velocity of flow to acceptable limits."

Finally, we can deduce from this mythological incident

"that function of God Shiva was nothing more than that of Energy Dissipator. We can put this fact to our benefit only if we conduct a serious research on this fact and compare it with the results obtained from other energy dissipators."

By Now,Friends you also must have started feeling that Our History, Our Mythology and Our Religion is all based on Pure Science, only we need to decipher them.

Friends Voyage is still on, so wait for this historic Ship's next anchored coordinates.

*This inference came out during discussion with Ram Kishore Gupta (President,Water Resource Management Forum who is also a Retired Chief Engineer) wherein we were discussing about applications of scientific aspects of general religious beliefs.

Tulsi or Holy Basil- Story of Ritual developed out of Science

"Tulsi" often called as Holy Basil in English is one of the most sacred plant in Hinduism religion. The other part of the story is that Tulsi is not only important from religious point of view but has great medical significance too.

There are numerous properties of Tulsi that can be enlisted as follows-

• It has stupendous healing powers.
• Useful in Cough, Cold and Fever.
• It has anti-cancerous and anti-oxidant properties.
• Useful for decreasing blood glucose and cholesterol level.
• It is widely used in cases of skin, teeth or eyes disorders in various forms.
• Helps in strengthening immune system of the body.
• Its aroma keeps away insects and mosquitoes from the house.

Perhaps this is the reason it is said in Hindu Religion that  Households who plant Tulsi in their houses never suffers from illness. Also, today you will still find this plant of Tulsi in most of the households in India despite transition towards modernity by mass population and diminishing values in changing times.

A Ritual formed on Scientific Basis-

There is a popular custom in India that whenever you go to any temple in India, the priest there gives you tulsi with water and asks you to gulp it.

Have you ever thought why he does so OR what might be the reasons behind this common ritual which is being practiced since times immemorial?

I have tried figuring out through various literature and came across a remarkable fact and explanation about this ritual.But before that, 'Hat Off" to our ancestors who have really device enduring social systems in the interest of all.Yeah, our sages were great scientists and genius who were aware of the medical value of tulsi but also know that to preach it to general masses would be a task that will not be feasible at one go. So they might have associated it with a religious practice so people just follow it without any 'do &don't' in their mind.

This would keep them away from most of the diseases and all knows that health is a preliminary key to happiness.

This is a fact that Tulsi has immense medicinal value apart from several other benefits but there is also a method underlined each benefit which must be followed exactly the same way to get most out of it. To elaborate it- Tulsi is also very rich in 'Mercury' content which is good for our body in a consumable form found in Tulsi but is bad for our teeth. This is why our religious practices have made it necessary in the form of ritual to never bite a fresh tulsi leaf and to gulp it with water only. This way we can get all the benefits of Tulsi without damaging our teeth.

We know very well that it is a vain effort to explain science to masses and asked them to follow it BUT still........

Science and Technology is only useful when its benefits reaches to masses and helps in the development of whole society. Sages in Ancient times must have understood this idealism very well and thus had devised ways(associating it with religious ritual) to make it sure that benefits of science reaches to all levels of society.

Note- With reference to Japan Nuclear Disaster, I want to bring this fact to limelight that many studies and researches had suggested that Tulsi can also help to protect organs from 'radiation poisoning' .

Need New Energy Sources-Look Old Scriptures and History

A universal Truth other than Death is "Energy is required to perform all the tasks."

Whether we have to eat, we have to dance, we have to run vehicles, we have to live, we have to speak, even famous Zynga Games like CityVille and FarmVille also needs you to have energy to perform tasks. In these all states though the primary requirement is that of Energy but energy does not exist in the same form to perform the peculiar subsequent tasks. This can be heat energy in one case to physical energy or mental energy in other cases. Also the source of Energy in each and every tasks varies from being Gasoline, Petrol, Diesel, Food, Body, Sun etc.

There is no denial to this evident truth that we need energy and that too in a state in which it can be utilized.

The whole World is Dependent on energy. The nations who are more powerful today than other are the ones having more energy whether it is in the form of electricity, petroleum products or nuclear derivatives etc. Numerous researches are being conducted to find new sources of energy, gigantic amount of resources are being deployed to find alternative sources of energy or renewable sources of energy because now non- renewable sources of energy have come on the verge of depletion.

Can we imagine our future without energy? Or we intends to live again in the same way our ancestors have lived once when they have started their journey of evolution (Early Man Time's according to modern history)

Well, I will say no because we have solution , then why to invite problem!

Our ancestors have foreseen these types of problems much before we have started experiencing it. Yeah, for instant take incidents mentioned in our epics whether it is compact "Parmanu Astras" (Nuclear Bombs), or aircrafts (Wisdom of new Age technologies hidden in Ancient Scriptures) driven by sound energy or that mystic fuel called as 'Rasa'( Amaranganasutradhara)or 'Para'-> (Reference by Samarangana-Sutradhara by Raja Bhoj 1050AD). Apart from this there are also several other instances in our sacred texts written by our sages which describes about various other forms of energy, one such being 'Laghima' or "Anti-Gravitational ' energy. 'Anti-Gravitational' Energy resembles to Zero Point Energy as depicted by modern day scientists from vacuum sources. They(Ancestors) have numerous sources of energy and that too in a form which can be easily utilized. By now you too can clearly decipher that our ancestors must have foreseen today's circumstances and Perhaps also understood the very essence of most quoted following law of our modern science-

According to the First Law of Thermodynamics and also Law of Conservation of Energy- 

In an isolated system the total amount of energy remains constant over time. The consequence can be derived as follows that "Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed, it can be transformed from one one state to another"

Thus the need of the hour is to look upon these scriptures written by our own sages or ancient scientists and to divert considerable resources in the research so that sufficient light can be thrown on the application and utilization of such ancient technologies.

This I believe will surely help us in one way or other to get out of this so called 'Energy Crisis' of today's Era.

So Harness a Voyage of Energy by Exploring History!

Cheers!!!!
