Even our traditional punishments involved science!!!

Friday, 29 August 2014

Do you remember when we were studying in our primary and high school education we forget to get our notes, text books, geometry boxes we used to get an unique punishment of holding the earlobes with arms crossed over your chests, bending the knees and then sit and then stand and so on till the time we could here our masterji saying stop. A hundred sit ups will make you remember everything was the thing he said us.
But did you ever think why he might have said that?
This form of punishment has been in practice in our country since the Gurukul time and was given to the students who were weak in studies.
Talking about the logic behind this punishment, it is very interesting to know that this particular posture increases the blood flow in the memory cells in brain and synchronizes the right and left side of the brain to improve function and promote calmness, stimulates neural pathways via acupressure points in the earlobe, sharpens intelligence and also helps those with autism, asperger’s syndrome, learning difficulties and behavioral problems.
Probably we have forgotten this ancient method of increasing memory power but the West is now using is very diligently and they are recommending this posture or exercise to treat many a diseases.

Ancient Astrology and Modern Astronomy Synonyms???

Sunday, 8 June 2014

     

As we go beyond our culture and traditions we find an important tradition to follow with respect to start of every task we do is reference to panchanga. Even though people in the modern days say it as a myth or something which doesn’t comply with modern science, it still exists. But if we think on its principles we can see that most of its sayings were found to have been proved in the course of time starting from the proofs shown by Nicolas Copernicus of sun centred theory to all the recent time discoveries in astronomy. He are a few basic things to know what astrology is all about and it’s relation with modern as astronomy.

    In antiquity, people noticed that the majority of stars were stationary in respect to each other. They called these stars “fixed”. They observed that there were five visible stars which in contrast to the others, were revolving about the Earth, confined to a narrow line. This line, called the ecliptic, loops around the Earth at a certain angle. In fact, the ecliptic is the same line traversed by the Sun, the Moon and the five visible stars. Gradually astrologers divided the belt of the ecliptic into 12 sections and named each one of them after the fixed stars’ constellations that they observed “behind” 
them. Most of them are named after animals, where specific characteristics best describe the energy, emanated from each constellation. This is how the Zodiac was born.

    Furthermore, men observed that when a planet passes through a certain section of the Zodiac it triggers certain events. Babies born at this time share the same characteristics. In their constant travel along the ecliptic, planets move from one sign of the Zodiac to another. After some period of time they “return” to the same sign where they were previously. Babies born in different years, but during the time, when a particular planet is passing through the same sign of the Zodiac, also show very similar traits, pertaining to the domain ruled by this planet. For example, Mercury is the planet that rules the mind and communications. In the Greek mythology Mercury is represented by Hermes, who is always depicted as the “winged messenger” of God or in other words he is the intermediate, the one, conducting the communication between Gods and humans. As another example Venus is the planet ruling the harmony, unison and love between people. Greeks called her Aphrodite, the Goddess of love – ideal, familiar and sexual.

    So when our ancestors have created this I believe it will have some meaning in it. If these things are not known to modern day sciences is it the mistake of our ancestors. But taking the right thing from it and not falling in a trap or myth is in our hands. Common friends!! When movement of planet will have an influence on our surroundings why not on us???????

Our history beyond modern science depicted in an old iron piller!!!

Sunday, 25 May 2014

The Iron Pillar of Delhi 

The Vedic literatures contain descriptions of advanced scientific techniques, sometimes even more sophisticated than those used in our modern technological world.

Modern metallurgists have not been able to produce iron of comparable quality to the 22 foot high Iron Pillar of Delhi, which is the largest hand forged block of iron from antiquity.

This pillar stands at mute testimony to the highly advanced scientific knowledge of metallurgy that was known in ancient India. Cast in approximately the 3rd century B.C., the six and a half ton pillar, over two millennia has resisted all rust and even a direct hit by the artillary of the invading army of Nadir Shah during his sacking of Delhi in 1737.\

The pillar was manufactured by the forge welding of pieces of wrought iron. In a report published in the journal Current Science, R. Balasubramaniam of the IIT Kanpur explains how the pillar's resistance to corrosion is due to a passive protective film at the iron-rust interface. The presence of second-phase particles (slag and unreduced iron oxides) in the microstructure of the iron, that of high amounts of phosphorus in the metal, and the alternate wetting and drying existing under atmospheric conditions are the three main factors in the three-stage formation of that protective passive film.

Lepidocrocite and goethite are the first amorphous iron oxyhydroxides that appear upon oxidation of iron. High corrosion rates are initially observed. Then, an essential chemical reaction intervenes: slag and unreduced iron oxides (second phase particles) in the iron microstructure alter the polarization characteristics and enrich the metal–scale interface with phosphorus, thus indirectly promoting passivation of the iron^[18] (cessation of rusting activity). The second-phase particles act as a cathode, and the metal itself serves as anode, for a mini-galvanic corrosion reaction during environment exposure. Part of the initial iron oxyhydroxides is also transformed into magnetite, which somewhat slows down the process of corrosion. The ongoing reduction of lepidocrocite and the diffusion of oxygen and complementary corrosion through the cracks and pores in the rust still contribute to the corrosion mechanism from atmospheric conditions.

The most critical corrosion-resistance agent is iron hydrogen phosphate hydrate (FePO₄-H₃PO₄-4H₂O) under its crystalline form and building up as a thin layer next to the interface between metal and rust. Rust initially contains iron oxide/oxyhydroxides in their amorphous forms. Due to the initial corrosion of metal, there is more phosphorus at the metal–scale interface than in the bulk of the metal. Alternate environmental wetting and drying cycles provide the moisture for phosphoric-acid formation. Over time, the amorphous phosphate is precipitated into its crystalline form (the latter being therefore an indicator of old age, as this precipitation is a rather slow happening). The crystalline phosphate eventually forms a continuous layer next to the metal, which results in an excellent corrosion resistance layer. In 1,600 years, the film has grown just one-twentieth of a millimetre thick.The next main agent to intervene in protection from oxidation is phosphorus, enhanced at the metal–scale interface by the same chemical interaction previously described between the slags and the metal. The ancient Indian smiths did not add lime to their furnaces. The use of limestone as in modern blast furnaces yields pig iron that is later converted into steel; in the process, most phosphorus is carried away by the slag. The absence of lime in the slag and the deliberate use of specific quantities of wood with high phosphorus content (for example, Cassia auriculata) during the smelting induces a higher phosphorus content (> 0.1%, average 0.25%) than in modern iron produced in blast furnaces (usually less than 0.05%). One analysis gives 0.10% in the slags for 0.18% in the iron itself. This high phosphorus content and particular repartition are essential catalysts in the formation of a passive protective film of misawite (d-FeOOH), an amorphous iron oxyhydroxide that forms a barrier by adhering next to the interface between metal and rust. Misawite, the initial corrosion-resistance agent, was thus named because of the pioneering studies of Misawa and co-workers on the effects of phosphorus and copper and those of alternating atmospheric conditions in rust formation.

Balasubramaniam states that the pillar is "a living testimony to the skill of metallurgists of ancient India". An interview with Balasubramaniam and his work can be seen in the 2005 article by Veazy. Further research published in 2009 showed that corrosion has developed evenly over the surface of the pillar.

It was claimed in the 1920s that iron manufactured in Mirjati near Jamshedpur is similar to the iron of the Delhi pillar. Further work on Adivasi (tribal) iron by the National Metallurgical Laboratory in the 1960s did not verify this claim.

OM- AS ITS ACCEPTED BY NASA!!!!

Sunday, 13 April 2014

Om is a mantra and mystical Sanskrit sound of Hindu origin (geographically India), sacred and important in various Dharmic religions such as Hinduism Buddhism, Sanatana Dharma and Jainism. Om (also spelled Aum) is a Hindu sacred sound thatis considered the greatest of all mantras.

The sound of sun is always considered as the most sacred in most of the religions of the world. But unfortunately human ears can hear only between 20-20000 Hertz. The sound of the sun is much lower or higher in frequency than we humans can hear. Could this sound of the sun be the part of universal language system? Recently NASA has recorded the actual sound of the sun in deep space. The compressed the inaudible waves of sun to facilitate the human ear to hear it. The sound of the sun resembles the word "OM" as it is prescribed in hindu vedas.

How did the ancient hindus know this mantra if it couldn't be heard by human ears?. Could they have pierced into universal consciousness and received it?  Human language and language of universe cannot travel faster than speed of sound. But language as a set of information can be sent at the speed of light as we hear it in a radio. As NASA's descovary concluded saying our language was transmitted as a powerful energy and could thus be at the speed of light squared , cubed and so on and could thus made it possible to those ancient hindus to have linked the sacred voices of sun

The syllable Om is composed of the three sounds a-u-m (in Sanskrit, the vowels a and u combine to become o) and the symbol's threefold nature is central to its meaning. It represent several important triads:

The three worlds - earth, atmosphere, and heaven
The three major Hindu gods - Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva
The three sacred Vedic scriptures - Rig, Yajur, and Sama

Scientific reason behind fasting on "EKADASHI"

Monday, 7 April 2014

Fasting on Ekadashi is a very old and common tradition which is followed in mostly all Hindu families. We all have seen our Mother, Father, Dadima ,Dadaji , Nani and other elders observing Ekadashi fasts, and we usually think they are doing because they are just religious. In fact it is backed up by solid science.

Ekadasi is a Sanskrit word, which means 'the eleventh'. It refers to the eleventh day of a fortnight belonging to a lunar month. There are two fortnights in a lunar month—the poornima and amavasya. So, Ekadasi occurs twice in a month. The special feature of Ekadasi, as most people know it, is a fast, abstinence from diet. According to scientific research, it is known that the air pressure on the earth varies to extreme limits on both the new moon (Amavasya) and the full moon (Purnima) day. This is because of the orbital path combination of the sun, moon and earth.

This can be observed by the change in the nature of the tidal waves on the new moon and full moon days. The waves are very high and rough, but from the next day onwards, the waves become calm, an indication that the pressure has also receded. Now, based on this fact, the significance of Ekadasi fasting can be explained in 2 ways:

1)It takes about 3-4 days for the food that we eat today to reach our brain (for the brain to understand the food intake). Now, if we eat light/fast on Ekadasi days, that intake will reach the brain correspondingly on the New moon/full moon day. On both of these days, the earth pressure is at its maximum, thus leading to imbalance in everything, including ones thought process. So, if the input to the brain is at a minimum, the chances of the brain indulging in any wayward activity due to the high pressure imbalance also becomes minimum. People in asylums behave weirdly during ekadashis due to this same lunar activity.

2) Another explanation for Ekadasi fasting is that compared to any other day of the moon cycle, atmospheric pressure is lowest on Ekadasi days. Thus, this is the best time to fast and cleanse the bowel system. If we fast on any other day, the high pressure/strain may damage our system. Thus, it is advisable that after fasting on Ekadasi, on the immediate next day (Dwadasi), we should get up early and eat as soon as possible.

THE POWER OF GAYATHRI MANTHRA!!!!

Saturday, 22 March 2014

It is really interesting to see how accurate and meaningful our ancient scriptures and traditions are. Unfortunately barely it is recognized or interpreted accurately. Or sometime we may not be aware of it. Today I'll bring some important and amazing scientific fact the has been running through the nerves of our culture and tradition without our knowledge and was recently scientifically proven.

Did you know the "GAYATHRI MANTHRA" has been declared as the most powerful hymn of the world???

Dr. Howard Steingeril, an American scientist, collected Mantras, Hymns and invocations from all over the world and tested their strength in physiological Laboratory.

The Indian hymn produced 110,000 sound waves/second......

This was the highest and was found to be the most powerful hymn in the world. Through the combination of sound or sound waves of a particular frequency, this mantra is claimed to be capable of developing specific spiritual potentialities. The Hamburg university initiated research in to the efficacy of the Gayathri Manthra both on the mental and physical plane of creation.

The most interesting part of it is our gayathri manthra is broadcasted daily for 15 min from 7 P.M onwards over Radio Paramribo , surinam, South Amarica from the past two years and in Amsterdam , Holland from past six months.

It means..

God is dear to me like my own breath, He is the despeller of my pains and giver of happiness. I meditate on the supremely adorable Light of the divine Creator, that it may inspire my thought and understanding.

Science and facts in Hanuman Chalisa

Wednesday, 12 March 2014

There is a history being described in Hanuman Chalisa which says Lord Hanuman jumped from earth to reach sun during his childhood thinking it as a sweet fruit.

In real terms of hanuman chalisa it was said:

“Yug sahastra yojan per bhanu

Leelyo taahi madhur phal jaanu”

It means hanuman had jumped 96000000 miles towards sun thinking it as sweet fruit.

Calculating it in mythological terms we get

1Yug=12000 years

1sahastra=1000

1 yojan=8miles

Yug x Sahastra x yojan= per bhanu

12000 x 1000 x 8 miles = 96000000 miles

In calculations of modern sciences we find

1 mile=1.6 kms

96000000miles=96000000 x 1.6kms=153600000kms

Today NASA has said that, it is the exact distance between earth and sun (bhanu) which proves lord hanuman did jump up to the sun as described in the Chalisa.

It’s really interesting how accurate and meaningful our ancient scriptures are... Unfortunately it’s not been recognised interpreted accurately or realized by any in today’s time... Share this knowledge with others too and let everyone know about the ancient facts of India.
