Gayatri mantra has been bestowed the greatest importance in Vedic dharma. This mantra has also been termed as Savitri and Ved-Mata, the mother of the Vedas.
"Om bhur bhuvah svaha, Tat savitur varenyam
Bhargo devasya dheemahi,Dhiyo yo nah prachodayat"
Meaning:
O God! You are Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Almighty, You are all Light. You are all Knowledge and Bliss. You are Destroyer of fear, You are Creator of this Universe, You are the Greatest of all. We bow and meditate upon Your light. You guide our intellect in the right direction.
The mantra, however, has a great scientific importance too, which somehow got lost in the literary tradition. The modern astrophysics and astronomy tell us that our Galaxy called Milky Way or Akash-Ganga contains approximately 1,00,000 million of stars. Each star is like our sun having its own planet system.
We know that the moon moves round the earth and the earth moves round the sun along with the moon. All planets round the sun. Each of the above bodies revolves round at its own axis as well. Our sun along with its family takes one round of the galactic center in 22.5 crore years. All galaxies including ours are moving away at a terrific velocity of 20,000 miles/second.
Now the alternative scientific meaning of the mantra step by step:
//OM BHUR BHUVAH SVAHA:Bhur: The earthBhuvah: The planets (solar family)Svaha: The Galaxy.
We observe that when an ordinary fan with a speed of 900 RPM moves, it makes noise. Then, one can imagine, what great noise would be created when the galaxies move with a speed of 20,000 miles per second.
This is what this portion of the mantra explains that the sound produced due to the fast-moving earth, planets and galaxies is Om.The sound was heard during meditation by Rishi Vishvamitra, who mentioned it to his colleagues. All of them, then unanimously decided to call this sound "Om" the name of God, because this sound is available in all the three periods of time, hence it is set (permanent).
Therefore, it was the first ever revolutionary idea to identify formless God with a specific title (form) called upadhi. Until that time, everybody recognized God as formless and nobody was prepared to accept this new idea. In the Gita also, it is said, "Omiti ekaksharam brahma", meaning that the name of the Supreme is Om, which contains only one syllable (8/12). This sound Om heard during samadhi was called by all the seers nada-brahma a very great noise, but not a noise that is normally heard beyond a specific amplitude and limits of decibels suited to human hearing. Hence the rishis called this sound Udgith musical sound of the above, i.e. heaven. They also noticed that the infinite mass of galaxies moving with a velocity of 20,000 miles/second was generating a kinetic energy = 1/2 MV2 and this was balancing the total energy consumption of the cosmos. Hence they named it Pranavah, which means the body (vapu) or store house of energy
(prana).
//TAT SAVITUR VARENYAM:
Tat: That GodSavitur: The sun (star)
Varenyam: Worthy of bowing or respect.
Once the form of a person along with the name is known to us, we may locate the specific person. Hence the two titles (upadhi) provide the solid ground to identify the formless God, Vishvamitra suggested. He told us that we could know (realize) the unknowable formless God through the known factors, viz., sound Om and light of suns (stars). A mathematician can solve an equation x2+y2=4; if x=2; then y can be known and so on. An engineer can measure the width of a river even by standing at the riverbank just by drawing a triangle. So was the scientific method suggested by Vishvamitra in the mantra in the next portion as under:-
//BHARGO DEVASYA DHEEMAHI:Bhargo: The light
Devasya: Of the deityDheemahi: We should meditate.
The rishi instructs us to meditate upon the available form (light of suns) to discover the formless Creator (God). Also he wants us to do japa of the word Om (this is understood in the Mantra). This is how the sage wants us to proceed, but there is a great problem to realize it, as the human mind is so shaky and restless that without the grace of the Supreme (Brahma) it cannot be controlled. Hence Vishvamitra suggests the way to pray Him as under: //DHIYO YO NAH PRACHODAYAT:
Dhiyo: IntellectYo: WhoNah: We allPrachodayat: Guide to right Direction. O God! Deploy our intellect on the right path. Full scientific interpretation of the Mantra: The earth (bhur), the planets (bhuvah), and the galaxies (svaha) are moving at a very great velocity, the sound produced is Om, (the name of formless God).
That God (tat), who manifests Himself in the form of light of suns (savitur) is worthy of bowing/respect (varenyam). We all, therefore, should meditate (dheemahi) upon the light (bhargo) of that deity (devasya) and also do chanting of Om. May He (yo) guide in right direction (prachodayat) our(nah) intellect dhiyo.
So we notice that the important points hinted in the mantra are:-
1) The total kinetic energy generated by the movement of galaxies acts as an umbrella and balances the total energy consumption of the cosmos. Hence it was named as the Pranavah (body of energy), this is equal to 1/2 mv2. 2) Realizing the great importance of the syllable OM, the other later date religions adopted this word with a slight change in accent, viz., Amenand Ameen.ERQ3FCHKA2WB

5. TERRAFORMED MARS
"The theory": The theory here is that Mars is already being terraformed behind our backs by groups such as NASA and the ESA, it is a fairly new claim and is supported only by speculation and a few pictures.
"The facts": First off the price, it seems almost no theorist takes price into account when they come up with these ideas, NASA is already having trouble as it is keeping themselves funded. The price of bringing something to Mars that could terraform it would cost billions, possibly even trillions. The computer
technology required to make sure it did every little thing right would cost even more. Not to mention the time, it takes a Lander to get to Mars from earth so something that big would take years to get there and might not even work when it did. Our best bet for terraforming Mars at the moment is to take prehistoric microbes that feed off carbon dioxide and others gases and let them form Mars in the same way scientists think they formed earth. Of course this in itself would take millions of years, at the present there seems no way to terraform Mars and no reason to.
4. HEALING THOUGHTS
"The Theory": The theory is that using your mind to think positive and encourage yourself and others to feel better really helps and can replace medicine.
"The facts": Sadly this is believed by many people, and though it certainly can't hurt for the common cold, since rest and relaxation are the best things for it after all. For more serious diseases people who really believe in this may not go to a doctor, and as such they can damage their body, or even kill themselves. This is no more effective than prayer which when it does seem to work can be explained away as coincidence. Many people actually do believe in it and luckily for some of them the placebo effect makes a major appearance, since they think their getting better, their bodies get stronger and they do sometimes pull through.
3. CHAKRAS
"The Theory": We each have seven chakras going down from the top of our head to our feet, they can be used for a variety of things and awakening one can usually help you with a specific thing, such as enhanced hearing, sudden realization and the list goes on.
"The facts": There is no way to prove these things exist. But people believe in them, some more so than a soul. They are usually connected with paranormal cases and as such usually don't have any specific stories all their own. Though there have been some reports of people having slightly greater abilities or knowing what will happen before it does. This is usually explained by a 'sixth sense', often described as the brain's way to activate the subconscious mind which helps us gather information and process it in such a way that we don't know how we acquired it but we have the information. This can explain why people think they've been to places they never have, and many other feelings of that nature; this can also explain away almost all if not all of the chakra cases.
2. HOLOGRAPHIC-REALITY
"The Theory: "The theory here is that life does not exist, we are all in fact test programs in a giant virtual reality or the players of that reality itself.
"The facts:" Once again there is no specific way to disprove this theory. Though it would mean in reality we would probably look much different or not exist at all. There is not much of a base for this to stand on, since it is another 'can't prove can't disprove' paradox, it is back to our own judgment. Strange as it may seem this theory could explain a lot of the problems with the world and things such as carbon dating. If we all were/are just test subjects in a large-scale virtual reality test, then all of the anomalies we find, and many of the world mysteries could be explained as bugs and glitches in the program. There is no solid proof that it does exist though, and it is most likely just generated by people's fears of the age of technology we're stepping into, and what it may do to us.
1. RELIGION
"The Theory:" Though the theory varies greatly from religion to religion, most of them believe that there is a being or beings greater then anything else in the universe that created the earth. It is still generally accepted in western civilization that there is a god.
"The facts:" We find ourselves at another paradox, there is no way to prove or disprove any religion. Many believers in their religion will often say god is testing us as he has faked much of the things we see in history. Such as dinosaur bones being millions of years old. However skeptics usually point out other facts, such as the second you accept one religion you are literally rejecting thousands of others. Skeptics will also point to the overwhelming evidence that all so-called effects of prayer can be explained through mere coincidence. They will also point to errors in the Bible writings, and problems with the whole idea of heaven in general. Despite this evidence many people continue to worship their gods. Skeptics generally believe that religion was established for one of two reasons. Reason one because people were scared and looked for a way to say this life isn't all you get. The second reason is that people were confused and tried to come up with an answer as to why and how all this stuff got here, so they came up with the ideas of gods. None the less following certain things from certain religions isn't necessarily a bad thing. The one common thing you will find in all religions usually written in different words but with the same meaning: do unto others what you would want others to do to you. A fine motto to live by.

"Siddhartha learned something new on every step of his path, for the world was transformed, and his heart was enchanted. He saw the sun rising over the mountains with their forests and setting over the distant beach with its palm-trees. At night, he saw the stars in the sky in their fixed positions and the crescent of the moon floating like a boat in the blue. He saw trees, stars, animals, clouds, rainbows, rocks, herbs, flowers, stream and river, the glistening dew in the bushes in the morning, distant hight mountains which were blue and pale, birds sang and bees, wind silverishly blew through the rice-field. All of this, a thousand-fold and colouful, had always been there, always the sun and the moon had shone, always rivers had roared and bees had buzzed, but in former times all of this had been nothing more to Siddhartha than a fleeting, deceptive veil before his eyes, looked upon in distrust, destined to be penetrated and destroyed by thought, since it was not the essential existence, since this essence lay beyond, on the other side of, the visible.
But now, his liberated eyes stayed on this side, he saw and became aware of the visible, sought to be at home in this world, did not search for the true essence, did not aim at a world beyond. Beautiful was this world, looking at it thus, without searching, thus simply, thus childlike. Beautiful were the moon and the stars, beautiful was the stream and the banks, the forest and the rocks, the goat and the gold-beetle, the flower and the butterfly. Beautiful and lovely it was, thus to walk through the world, thus childlike, thus awoken, thus open to what is near, thus without distrust. Differently the sun burnt the head, differently the shade of the forest cooled him down, differently the stream and the cistern, the pumpkin and the banana tasted. Short were the days, short the nights, every hour sped swiftly away like a sail on the sea, and under the sail was a ship full of treasures, full of joy.
All of this had always existed, and he had not seen it; he had not been with it. Now he was with it, he was part of it. Light and shadow ran through his eyes, stars and moon ran through his heart..."- Hermann Hesse, "Siddhartha"oFREE download, in PDF format, of "Siddhartha," by Hermann Hesse is here:

Actually it's "The Secret" - you know - the updated Wallace Wattles "life strategy"
Remember Guru James Arthur Ray (who is one of the "stars" in "The Secret" DVD?) Something happened to Mr. Ray on his way to spiritual enlightenment: he bumped into the dollar. In the end, all the abundance he had and affirmations he made could not save him.I've tried affirmations and I know people who have tried affirmations. They work or they don't work. Tony Robbins also subscribes to that "believe and it shall be" theory.Does this stuff really work? "The Secret" seems to have convinced Xiaxue - who was already talented and helping herself along life's road. Long before she watched the DVD.So... This "Secret" seems to work for some people, and not for others. Kind of like some medicines work well for some but don't do anything for others?I am convinced there is SOMETHING, some mechanism or entity or deity or radio wave at work when it comes to affirming and believing. Maybe the quality of transmission of one's thoughts and beliefs affects whether the Universe picks up the signal?There's also the John Randolph Price take on "Abundance"
If ever comes the day affirmations and/or abundance (oh, and "gratitude") work for me, I'll let you know! (Perhaps I'm too much of a "doubting Thomas?")Meantime, avoid this "secret" as if your wallet depended on it!

The THROAT CHAKRA or VISHUDDHA is one of the 7 major chakras. "Vishuddha" is known as the "purification center." The Sanskrit word "shuddha" or "shuddhi" means "to purify," and in this chakra the purifying and harmonizing of all opposites takes place. The "throat chakra" is situated within the sushumna nadi at the base of the throat. "It is said that the throat chakra" is the spiritual energy center concerned with how we communicate and express ourselves in the world. It is also through the "throat chakra" that we develop the faculty of higher discrimination and fully recognize the fact that the mind substances are the fundamental essences of the world. This knowledge is gained not by mere speculation but by experience once the "throat chakra" is fully awakened.SPIRITUAL POWERS OF THE THROAT CHAKRA"By meditation on vishuddha (throat chakra), the mind becomes pure like the akasha. One becomes a great sage, eloquent and wise and enjoys uninterrupted peace of mind. Amrit can be felt as a cold fluid flowing into the chakra and the aspirant becomes free from disease and sorrow, he is compassionate, full of bliss and long lived." - Swami Satyananda Saraswati, Kundalini TantraIn many systems of yoga, meditating on the different chakras of the body allows the person to attain different kinds of spiritual power or what the Hindus call "siddhis." The following is a list of siddhis associated with the "throat chakra": * Clairaudience: Knowledge of the Sounds/Language of All Beings * Freedom From Hunger And Thirst * The Power Of Levitation (Laghima) * Super Hearing (Hearing At Vast Distances) * Ability To Travel Through Space (Teleportation) * Mastery Of The Elements (Ether) * Mastery Over The Five Senses Of The Body (Hearing)PRACTICES FOR THE THROAT CHAKRAThere are many practices for controlling or balancing the energy that goes through the "throat chakra". The following practices are used mainly in the tantric and yogic traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism. 1. ASANAS (YOGIC POSTURES) - "Asana" is defined as "posture;" its literal meaning is "seat." Asanas greatly stimulate and influence the functioning of the endocrine system. The following asanas are useful in awakening the throat chakra: vipareeta karani asana, pawanmuktasana, chakrasana, dhanurasana, marjariasana, matsyasana, paschimottanasana, and ushtrasana.2. JALANDHARA BANDHA - "Jalandhara bandha" or "chin lock" consists in pressing the chin close to the chest and dropping the head to help in maintaining immobility of muscle and air movements. Jalandhara bandha regulates the circulatory and respiratory systems, stimulates the thyroid to balance metabolism, and is said to cure all diseases of the throat. Jalandhara bandha is contraindicated in high blood pressure and heart disease.3. KHECHARI MUDRA - "Khechari mudra" is a yoga practice which is carried out by placing the tongue above the soft palate and into the nasal cavity. It is said that a person who has mastered this technique is freed from old age and death in this world.4. UJJAYI PRANAYAMA - "Ujjayi" literally means "victoriously uprising" or "victory from expansion." This refers to the upward movement of prana. Pranayama means "restraint of the prana or breath." Ujjayi pranayama is sometimes called the ocean sounding breath. Inhalation and exhalation are both done through the nose. The air is taken into the back of the throat with a constriction of the muscles, resulting in a hissing sound - an ocean sound.5. SAMYAMA MEDITATION - Samyama meditation is a combined simultaneous practice of "dharaa", "dhyana", and "samadhi". These techniques primarily belong to the classical yoga called Raja Yoga or "royal union." According to this system of yoga, meditating on the "throat chakra" using this technique allows the practitioner to have full control of its power. PREVIOUS NEXT Heart Chakra Third Eye Chakra
