Worship of Cosmos, Stars, Sun, Moon and Planets

              Seers, Sages, wise persons and Masters of ancient civilizations were aware of the subtle relationship between Cosmos, Stars, Sun, Planets & Moon; and existence or ‘life’ of all living beings. They had experienced the influence of these phenomena in their sensitive nervous system and body/mind, tuned or calibrated to receive, resonance with and understand the cosmic, stellar, solar, planetary and lunar energies. They named these energies spread throughout their nervous system and heart-vital force, vata, anima, life energy, Qi, Chi etc

                In the Sanskrit Philosophical treatise ‘Mandukyopanishad’, Cosmos (Brahman or ever expanding entity) is described as the source and supreme ruler of every existing phenomena.  Sages declared that 

'Jivo Brahmaiva,

Na aparaha’

“Life is Cosmos itself – nothing else’ They realized that cosmic energy become the life energy. It is also described that the primary source of energy, (light) even for Sun and Stars is Cosmos. Hence cosmos or Brahman was worshiped by all Indian (Hindu) religious subgroups.

                In the most famous manthra in Rigveda, Sun is worshiped as source of energy for, earth, heaven and sky.

"Om Bhur Bhuva Svaha

Thath Savithrur varenyam

Bhargo Deva Sya dheemahi

Dheeyo yona Prachodayath"

“We the (Master and disciples) meditate upon the divine supreme energy in the sun (whom earth, heaven and sky depends for energy) May the divine energy in the sun stimulate our intellect”.

        This Rishi or sage who was seer of this manthra was aware that energy from sun is stimulating that part of the brain which is responsible for the functioning of intelligent mind(Buddhy)

        ‘Surya namaskar’ (Saluting the Sun) is a yogic technique adopted all over the world. In Japan and neighboring nations also Sun is widely worshiped.

        In India 27 constellations of stars were considered to be the ruling factor of health and life of all beings including humans. The ancient Masters were conscious that the different frequencies of energy waves reaching from these various constellations at the time of birth of babies influence nervous system of new born babies and hence their future life and health. Astrology of Mayan, Old European and Arabian civilizations also were based on this basic understanding.

        In the Latin or Roman civilization also stars were worshiped even before Jesus Christ. Easter celebration is a continuation of this ancient ritual in a modified style.

        The solar radiations are reflected by planets and moon and then reach the earth. Frequency and wave length of these waves from these planets shall different because of the difference of reflecting surface (materials in the surface of different planets) These electromagnetic wave also shall have varying impact on nervous system and body/mind of beings. These planets also were worshiped for reducing the negative effect and increasing the positive effects of these energies.

        Moon was worshiped by ancient civilizations because they were aware that varying cycles of moon have varying impacts on living beings.

        Lord Buddha got enlightenment on a full moon day, signifying the impact of full moon on the full blossoming of the brain which is compared to the full blossoming of a Lotus.

Ancient Wisdom and Modern Informations

The thesis which received the Nobel prize in Medicine/Physiology 2004 is based on the following assumption. “When an odorant receptor is activated by an odorous substance an electric signal is triggered in the olfactory receptor cell and sent to brain via nerve processes. Each odorant receptor first activates a G-Protein to which it is coupled. The G protein in turn stimulates the formation of cyclic A.M.P. These messenger molecules activate ion channels which are opened and the cell is activated.”

In fully conscious state (Jagrath) more vital radiations (Electomagnetic waves reaching from sun stars and cosmos) are absorbed to the central nervous system through Filum teminale.

“From Spinal cord and Brain these electromagnetic waves reach all sensory organs (Eyes, Ears, Nose, Tongue and Skin) and create varying rates of ionizations in rods and cones of retina (eye), hair cell and cochlea (ears), olfactory neurons and olfactory epithelium (nose). When light, sound and molecules (smell) touch these parts the rates of ionizations are undergone variations and then the corresponding parts of brain get these messages through nerves. This process helps brain to get information about light, sound etc.” (Pranathathvam-G. Mohandas – June 2002)

“Nose:- The olfactory neurons and olfactoryepithelium are normally having resting potentials (because of ionizing radiations reaching there similar to what happen in the case of eyes etc. When substances (odorous molecules) touch these parts, rate of ionization changes and action potentials are created. These messages are gone to brain through nerves and one gets idea about smell.”

(The Vital Force”. G. Mohandas – April 2003)

We know that in deep sleep the ability of nose to sense smells is virtually nil because no Vital radiations reach olfactory neurons and olfactory epithelium at this time. Even if odorous molecules in the air touch the olfactory receptor cells no “electrical triggering” take place.

According to ancient Indian Scripture Prashna-Upanishad:- In deep sleep no sensory organs function because at this condition the Goddess (Prana or Vital energy) responsible for sensory perception is withdrawn to her source (The Soul)

Commence a dialogue

All persons who are interested in health and allied sciences (including medical and general astrology) are requested to invite the attention of modern and other medical personnel (with whom they are acquainted) to the general argument put forward in this blog about the vital energy and universal energy; so that they can give their opinions about it. I shall be much glad to start a dialogue in order to reach more accurate knowledge about the functioning of living body/mind.

RESEARCH ON MEDITATION IN U.S.A

RESEARCH ON MEDITATION IN U.S.A

Comments on the study conducted by U.S. Researchers (about the effect of meditation on stressed persons) at University of Wisconsin and University of massachusets, under the leadership of Dr. Richard Davidson, Director of the Laboratory for affective neuroscience at University of Wisconsin – Ref : Article in “Journal of Psychosomatic medicine 2003” quoted by Judy Foreman in “Quiet time for the mind” published in the “The Hindu” week end Magazine 9^th October 2005.

For almost all persons the level of electro magnetic nenergy is low in the left hemisphere of brain, (Chandra Nadi or moon nerve which is considered to be cold in yogic seience) compared to the level (of E.M. energy) in the right hemisphere (Soorya Nadi or sun nerve which is considered to be hot in yogic science), because a portion of these energies – absorbed (from atmosphere) through filum terminale and reached to spinal cord and both hemispheres of brain – are conducted from the left hemisphere to the sinuatrial node in the heart through vagus nerve. (This energy facilitate the pulsation of heart). The corpus callosum doesn’t conduct much energy from right hemisphere to left hemisphere in ordinary people. But through medication the conductivity of corpus collasam increases and the surplus energy in the right hemisphere passes to the left hemisphere. This phenomenon explains the ‘pronounced shift (of the set point) towards the left frontal lobe” observed in the E.E.G of meditators.

Meditators absorb more natural radiations (from sun stars and cosmos) than the non meditators. These natural radiations in increased quantity spread to all parts of the body through the total nervous system, and influence the whole system- ie. The body/mind. This fact explains the enhanced immunity of meditators against Flu-Viruses. (Psycho neuro immunity).

These concepts had already been explained by me through various media since 1999 and also in my books “Pranathathvam: (2002) and “The Vital Force” (2003).

The observation of Barrie Casileth, Chief of the integrative medicine service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York City- “It (Meditation) can not control cellular activity in the sense of getting rid of disease” is totally wrong. Prejudiced and result of wishful thinking.

A note of caution to non traditional meditators.

If persons of age above 35-40 years and having more impurities and blockages especially in spinal cord, brain, heart and blood vessels; suddenly start pranayama meditation etc- without diet regulation, proper time schedule and necessary medications under the guidance of competent yoga teachers and physicians – serious physiological, neurological, psychiatric and cardiological complications may be triggered by the sudden influx of electromagnetic energy in to the whole nervous system including spinal cord & brain and also into the Sinu Atral Node in the heart.
