OLD MACHINERY’S ALUMINUM GEAR NOT RESULT OF NATURAL FORCES

300 MILLION YEAR OLD 
MACHINERY FOUND IN RUSSIA

www.utaot.com - Last year The Voice of Russia and other Russian sources were reporting that a 300 million year old piece of aluminum machinery had been found in Vladivostok. Experts said a gear rail appears to be manufactured and not the result of natural forces. According to Yulia Zamanskaya, when a resident of Vladivostok was lighting the fire during a cold winter evening, he found a rail-shaped metal detail which was pressed in one of the pieces of coal that the man used to heat his home.
Mesmerized by his discovery, the responsible citizen decided to seek help from the scientists of Primorye region. After the metal object was studied by the leading experts the man was shocked to learn about the assumed age of his discovery. The metal detail was supposedly 300 million years old and yet the scientists suggest that it was not created by nature but was rather manufactured by someone.

The question of who might have made an aluminum gear in the dawn of time remains unanswered. The find was very much like a toothed metal rail, created artificially. It was like parts are often used in microscopes, various technical and electronic devices says writer Natalia Ostrowski at KP UA Daily. The metal detail which was recently found by Vladivostok resident is yet another discovery which perplexed the scientists. 
The coal in which the metal object was pressed was delivered to Primorye from Chernogorodskiy mines of Khakasia region. Knowing that the coal deposits of this region date 300 million years back, Russian experts inferred that the metal detail found in these deposits must be an age-mate of the coal.

It has been several months since this news was known and there are still many different opinions. Some say it's all a fraud, others speak of ancient terrestrial civilizations and others about alien extra-terrestrial visits. The truth is there are several mysteries that defy scientific knowledge around artifacts that are too old to have been made ​​by a human being. For example, one question that interests Russian scientists is whether the aluminum alloy is of Earthly origin. The presence of 2 percent of magnesium in the alloy might well be evidence of some past, unknown civilization on Earth. Nonetheless, further testing is needed to confirm this hypothesis, say experts. Nowadays, finding a strange artifact in coal dated hundreds million years before the current era (B.C.E) is not very rare to happen. In 1851 the workers in one of the Massachusetts mines extracted a zinc silver-incrusted vase from a block of unmined coal which dated approximately 500 million years ago. In 1912 American scientists from Oklahoma discovered an iron pot which was pressed into a piece of coal aged 312 million years old. The alloys were artificial and constructed by intelligent beings, said the experts. All of these discoveries not only puzzled the experts but also undermined the most fundamental doctrines of modern science. The so-called Western science has its roots in disapproving tendencies and all facts that can challenge their "state of things already known" are seen as something very amazing or totally denied as they challenge their scientific and cultural bases. For example, during the British rule in India, the heirs of the wise Vedic civilization developed a kind of inferiority complex, which adversely affected his own quest to discover the facts about the glorious past of India. (Editor's note).

WHAT DO THE VEDIC TEACHINGS TELL US? 

Many of us tend to believe that the views about history that we find in modern text-books are proven truths on par with the laws of physics. ... Our culture’s dominant view of history - which is still largely rooted in colonial preconceptions - is not a scientific truth but largely a Eurocentric bias that often has little hard evidence to support it. We ignore the eastern achievements in science, like the mathematics, physics, astronomy, biology and medicine in the Vedas. We have created a view of history that makes larger and older civilizations like India and China into little more than footnotes to events in Europe or the Middle East. Our historical time lines have not expanded much beyond the time frame or location of Biblical chronologies. Though our current species is now scientifically speaking more than 150,000 years old, our social sciences are still largely working on a 5,000 year historical time line, with a bias towards Europe and the Middle East that ignores the greater portion of humanity, its achievements and its historical records.

BREAST MILK VARIES FOR MALES, FEMALES

A NEW STUDY TIES FETAL 
SEX TO MILK PRODUCTION

http://news.discovery.com - Nursing monkeys make different milk for male and female offspring, a finding that has direct implications for understanding previously unknown variations in human breast milk, researchers said. Males and females respond differently to cortisol, a hormone found in mothers’ milk but not in formula, said Katie Hinde, with Harvard University’s Department of Human Evolution. 
“There is this prevailing myth that mother’s milk is standard,” Hinde told reporters at the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Chicago on Friday. “There’s evidence that mothers are producing different biological recipes of milk for sons and daughters and the magnitude of this effect varies across their reproductive careers,” Hinde told Discovery News.

Breast milk calcium content, for example, is higher for females than males.The handful of studies that have looked at variations in human breast milk based on the baby’s gender tend to focus on the constituents of the milk and their concentrations - how much fat, protein, sugar, calcium, etc., but have not accounted for overall milk production, which affects concentrations. There is no data on how breast milk may vary for nursing mixed-gender twins, she added. 
Formulas can copy mothers’ milk food value, but not its hormonal content, Hinde said. Related studies on 1.4 million cows also showed that mothers carrying females produce more milk than those gestating males. 

A new study offers the first evidence that fetal sex can affect the amount of milk cows produce, a finding that could have major economic implications for dairy farmers. The study, co-authored by a Harvard scientist, examined 2.4 million lactations by nearly 1.5 million dairy cows in the United States, finding that cows that gestate daughters produce 1,000 pounds more milk than those that gestate sons. Research shows that female animals personalize milk composition depending on the sex of the future infant. It is thought that women's bodies have similar behavior and that fetal sex would affect the composition of breast milk; this would explain the differences between different human lactations. Wow ... it's an amazing news. How wonderful is mother's body! Whether cows or women, the intelligence cells of the mother's body produces milk with certain composition according to whether a pregnancy will result in a male or a female infant! And after knowing these findings there are still fools who refuse to accept the higher intelligence that created these material bodies with such wonderful biological characteristics, and continue to think that everything happened by blind chance or random cosmic explosion that appeared by chance out of nowhere. How can we say that these wonderful activities and properties of our material body have come to be without a high intelligence behind these facts? Our spiritual masters have taught us that this sort of conclusion is due to a poor fund of knowledge. Therefore, One must conclude that the wonderful creation of the universe operates under the direction of God, who with His transcendental intelligence makes appear, grow and dissolve all things in due time. (Editor's note).

WHAT DO THE VEDIC TEACHINGS TELL US? 

The living beings are parts and parcels of the Lord, and He impregnates the vast material creation with seeds of spiritual sparks, and thus the creative energies are set in motion to enact so many wonderful creations. An atheist may argue that God is no more expert than a watchmaker, but of course God is greater because He can create machines in duplicate male and female forms. The male and female forms of different types of machineries go on producing innumerable similar machines without God's further attention. If a man could manufacture such a set of machines that could produce other machines without his attention, then he could approach the intelligence of God. But that is not possible, for each machine has to be handled individually. Therefore, no one can create as well as God. Another name for God is asamaurdhva, which means that no one is equal to or greater than Him.

ADHD IS A FICTITIOUS DISEASE

BEFORE HIS DEATH, FATHER OF ADHD
ADMITTED IT WAS A FICTITIOUS DISEASE

www.naturalnews.com - If you or someone you know has a child that has been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), chances are the child is actually just fine. At least this is what the “father” of ADHD, Leon Eisenberg, would presumably say if he were still alive. On his death bed, this psychiatrist and autism pioneer admitted that ADHD is essentially a “fictitious disease,” which means that millions of young children today are being needlessly prescribed severe mind-altering drugs that will set them up for a life of drug addiction and failure. 
“ADHD is fraud intended to justify starting children on a life of drug addiction,” said Dr. Edward C. Hamlyn, from the Royal College of General Practitioners. Adding to this sentiment, psychiatrists Peter Breggin and Sami Timimi, both of whom oppose pathologizing the symptoms of ADHD, say that ADHD is more of a social construct than it is an objective “disorder.”

ADHD was never actually proven to exist as a verifiable disease, despite the fact that Eisenberg and many others profited handsomely from its widespread diagnosis. And modern psychiatry continues to profit as well, helping also to fill the coffers of the pharmaceutical industry by getting children addicted early to dangerous psychostimulant drugs like Ritalin (methylphenidate) and Adderall (amphetamine, dextroamphetamine mixed salts). The purpose all along for pathologizing ADHD symptoms, of course, was to generate more profits for the drug industry. 
According to the citizen watchdog group Citizens Commission on Human Rights International (CCHRI), roughly 20 million American children today are taking dangerous, but expensive, psychiatric drugs for made-up behavioral conditions like ADHD. And another one million or so children have been blatantly and admittedly misdiagnosed with phony behavioral conditions for which psychiatric medications are being prescribed.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) was merely a theory. According to this article, Leon Eisenberg, a 87-year-old doctor, confessed on his deathbed that he and his colleagues invented ADHD. “Remember, there are two ways drug companies can make money: Invent new drugs, and invent new diseases already invented drugs can treat,” writes Dr. Jay Parkinson. “In the past decade or so, Big Pharma has created no less than 10 new novel drugs per year,” he adds, noting that many of the people who have been told they suffer from ADHD actually suffer from “the consequence of bad design,” meaning a conventional social and educational system that is unable and unwilling to recognize unique individuality. Our spiritual masters have warned about the industry remedies and the creation of false diseases, so we should support the Conscious Doctors network. The world needs more conscious doctors, nurses and health workers to carry out their professional medical activities with higher spiritual consciousness. We must spread this message and promote the creation of Ayurveda and Naturopathy clinics where they can help to provide the health to the physical body along with spiritual education than mankind needs today. (Editor's note).

WHAT DO THE VEDIC TEACHINGS TELL US? 

The organization of Conscious Doctors is one of friendship and exchange of medical experiences between doctors with the purpose of purifying professional medical activities by supporting spiritual consciousness. As a result, conscious doctors will have a forum that will allow greater understanding and improve the practice of a holistic system of treatment, such as: Ayurveda (Oriental medicine), naturopathy, chiropractics, homeopathy, bioenergetics, acupuncture, etc. Thus, the spiritually conscious medical professional, with proven results, will become as distant as possible from the ignorant allopathy system that only attacks the symptoms of ailments without regard to the causes that create them. ... The Conscious doctor always recommends that people seek refuge in God, to see that all the bodily and mental sufferings are reactions from our wrong doings in this and past lives; that they are little bells to wake us up to the reality that we should not live away from His Will.

FORCES OF NATURE REVEAL THE MIND OF GOD

SCIENTIST FINDS EVIDENCE
OF THE EXISTENCE OF GOD

http://mysticablog.wordpress.com - For scientific minds, religious subjects may seem ridiculous. But when they are considered by a scientist, it feels unusual. Theoretical physicist Michio Kaku claims to have created a theory that may point to the existence of God. The information created uproar in the scientific community. Michio Kaku is considered one of the most important scientists of today – one of the developers of the revolutionary String Theory, which is highly respected around the world.
To come to his conclusions, the physicist made use of what he calls “primitive semi – radius tachyons”. Tachyons are theoretical particles capable to “unstick” the Universe matter or vacuum space between matter particles, leaving everything free from the influences of the surrounding universe.

Most physicists think that faster-than-light particles cannot exist because they are not consistent with the known laws of physics. Although the technology to detect the true tachyon particles is still far from being achieved and despite theoretical arguments against the existence of faster-than-light particle, experiments have been conducted to search for them. After conducting the tests, Kaku came to the conclusion that we live in a “Matrix”. “I have concluded that we are in a world made by rules created by an intelligence”, he affirmed.
“Believe me; everything that we call chance today won’t make sense anymore.” And he added: “To me it is clear that we exist in a plan which is governed by rules that were created, shaped by a universal intelligence and not by chance.”

Dr. Michio Kaku is a very well-known theoretical physicist and also an acclaimed writer who has had more than 70 articles published in professional physics journals such as Physical Review. His research seemed to have led him to recognize that there are other ‘forces’ that controls the world and it cannot be explained. In several occasions, Kaku made connections between science and religion, questioned what is behind all theories about the creation of the world and reflected on the existence of eternal life, and the “God of Order.” He has said, “I work in something called String Theory which makes the statement that we are reading the mind of God. It’s based on music or little vibrating strings thus giving us particles that we see in nature. The laws of chemistry that we struggled with in high school would be the melodies that you can play on these vibrating strings. The Universe would be a symphony of these vibrating strings” In one of his declarations in video Dr. Kaku says that “God must be a mathematician.” Spiritually advanced cultures used of the principles of mathematics to advance towards God realization. A common belief among ancient cultures was that the laws of numbers have not only a practical significance, but also a mystical and religious significance. For example, at the heart of the Pythagorean world view was a unity of religious principles and mathematical propositions. Our spiritual masters have taught us that “wisdom” is more than the mere “exercise of intelligence.” Unfortunately, modern man's worship of intelligence does not allow him to realize the superiority of “love” over “reason.” (Editor's note).

WHAT DO THE VEDIC TEACHINGS TELL US? 

Mathematics has only recently risen to attempt to usurp the throne of Godhead. Ironically, it originally came into use in human society within the context of spiritual pursuit. ... In ancient India, mathematics served as a bridge between understanding material reality and the spiritual conception. Vedic mathematics differs profoundly from Greek mathematics in that knowledge for its own sake (for its aesthetic satisfaction) did not appeal to the Indian mind. The mathematics of the Vedas lacks the cold, clear, geometric precision of the West; rather, it is cloaked in the poetic language which so distinguishes the East. Vedic mathematicians strongly felt that every discipline must have a purpose, and believed that the ultimate goal of life was to achieve self-realization and love of God and thereby be released from the cycle of birth and death.

IS THERE AN AFTERLIFE?

DOES DEATH EXIST? 
NEW THEORY SAYS ‘NO’

www.independent.co.uk - It’s a question pondered by philosophers, scientists and the devout since the dawn of time: is there an afterlife? While the religious would argue that life on earth is a mere warm up for an eternity spent in heaven or hell, and many scientists would dismiss the concept for lack of proof - one expert claims he has definitive evidence to confirm once and for all that there is indeed life after death. The answer, Professor Robert Lanza says, lies in quantum physics – specifically the theory of biocentrism. 
The evidence lies in the idea that the concept of death is a mere figment of our consciousness. Biocentrism explains that the universe only exists because of an individual’s consciousness of it - essentially life and biology are central to reality, which in turn creates the universe; the universe itself does not create life.

The same applies to the concepts of space and time, which Professor Lanza, from Wake Forest University School of Medicine in North Carolina, describes as “simply tools of the mind”. He explains that with this theory in mind, the concept of death as we know it is “cannot exist in any real sense” as there are no true boundaries by which to define it. Essentially, the idea of dying is something we have long been taught to accept, but in reality it just exists in our minds. 
Professor Lanza says biocentrism is similar to the idea of parallel universes - a concept hypothesised by theoretical physicists. In much the same way as everything that could possibly happen is speculated to be occurring all at once across multiple universes, he says that once we begin to question our preconceived concepts of time and consciousness, the alternatives are huge and could alter the way we think about the world in a way not seen since the 15th century’s “flat earth” debate. 

We believe in death because we have been told we will die. As we associate ourselves with the body, and we know that bodies die, almost all of us fear death. But a new scientific theory suggests that death is not the terminal event we think. Scientists are beginning to realize that an infinite number of realities may exist outside our old classical way of thinking. Professor Robert Lanza claims the theory of biocentrism teaches that death as we know it is an illusion created by our consciousness. “Life is an adventure that transcends our ordinary linear way of thinking. ... when we die, our life becomes a “perennial flower that returns to bloom in the multiverse (meta-universe),” said Professor Lanza. Immortality has always concerned both men and demigods and demons. In the past, the demigods and the demons churned the Ocean of Milk using Mandara Mountain as a churning rod to obtain the nectar of immortality. However, this material brahmana of fourteen worlds, including heaven, is non-eternal. At the time of universal dissolution, all the material universes are destroyed, along with the demigods. The Vedic scriptures give knowledge by which we may become immortal: No more birth, no more death, no more old age, no more disease. The famous stanza of the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad says: “Lead me from the unreal to the real / Lead me from darkness to light / Lead me from death to immortality”. But only the Vaisnavas know about the positive and progressive immortality. (Editor's note).

WHAT DO THE VEDIC TEACHINGS TELL US? 

A barren conception of mere “deathlessness” cannot afford us any knowledge of a positive thing, but only freedom from the negative side. ... How can one become immortal? One must search out his intrinsic location in the universal order. It will not do to attempt to solve only the negative side of life which is full of suffering-birth, death, infirmity, and disease. We should know that there exists a conception of life worth living for. This positive side has been almost totally neglected in most general religious views. For instance, the Buddhist theory is that after liberation, nothing remains. And the Shankarite monist theory of liberation is to lose one's individuality by “becoming one” with the non-differentiated aspect of the Absolute. But in Vaishnavism, immortality is a positive, dynamic existence. Above the non-differentiated Brahman aspect of the absolute, the transcendental variegated experience begins. Situated there in the spiritual plane is the positive Kingdom of God.

IS THE UNIVERSE PRODUCT OF A GREAT ILLUSION?

SIMULATIONS BACK UP THEORY 

THAT UNIVERSE IS A HOLOGRAM

www.nature.com - A team of physicists has provided some of the clearest evidence yet that our Universe could be just one big projection. In 1997, theoretical physicist Juan Maldacena proposed 1 that an audacious model of the Universe in which gravity arises from infinitesimally thin, vibrating strings could be reinterpreted in terms of well-established physics. The mathematically intricate world of strings, which exist in nine dimensions of space plus one of time, would be merely a hologram: the real action would play out in a simpler, flatter cosmos where there is no gravity. 
Maldacena's idea thrilled physicists because it offered a way to put the popular but still unproven theory of strings on solid footing - and because it solved apparent inconsistencies between quantum physics and Einstein's theory of gravity.

It provided physicists with a mathematical Rosetta stone, a 'duality', that allowed them to translate back and forth between the two languages, and solve problems in one model that seemed intractable in the other and vice versa. But although the validity of Maldacena's ideas has pretty much been taken for granted ever since, a rigorous proof has been elusive. In two papers posted on the arXiv repository, Yoshifumi Hyakutake of Ibaraki University in Japan and his colleagues now provide, if not an actual proof, at least compelling evidence that Maldacena’s conjecture is true. 
The findings “are an interesting way to test many ideas in quantum gravity and string theory”, Maldacena adds. The two papers, he notes, are the culmination of a series of articles contributed by the Japanese team over the past few years.

Ron Cowen, author of the article, explains that a ten-dimensional theory of gravity makes the same predictions as standard quantum physics in fewer dimensions. Nevertheless, the numerical proof that these two seemingly disparate worlds are actually identical gives hope that the gravitational properties of our Universe can one day be explained by a simpler cosmos purely in terms of quantum theory, says theoretical physicist Maldacena. The Vedic tradition explains that consciousness shapes our material world, the whole cosmos is interconnected and we are essentially holographic energy beings existing in a state of resonance with the scalar field of the cosmos. Some Vedic scholars says that the fact that this field has consciousness explains the power of mantras, prayer and intention. This consciousness is amplified when a large number of conscious people are involved focused with great intention on a single emotional thought (for example, pilgrims during a Kumbha Mela) chanting in unison a mantra. It is said that our brain is a hologram that is a part of an even larger hologram - the universe itself. The field interactions link the body and consciousness. We all have roots in the universe and the conscious mental activity exerts measurable effects on the physical world. That is why for the benefit of our inner world as well as the external surrounding us, we must engage with determination in chanting the Vedic mantras. We suggest this one to you, it is called the Maha Mantra: “Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.” (Editor's note).

WHAT DO THE VEDIC TEACHINGS TELL US? 

According to achintya bhedabheda, the individual self is a minute particle of will or consciousness - a sentient being - endowed with a serving tendency. This self is transcendental to matter and qualitatively one with Godhead, while quantitatively different. The inherent defect of smallness in size in the minute self in contrast to the quantitative superiority of Godhead makes the individual minute particle of consciousness prone to the influence of illusion. ... Living in illusion, the atomic soul sees himself as separate from the Godhead. As a result of imperfect sense perception he is caused to make false distinctions such as good and bad, happiness and distress. The minute self can also live in an enlightened state in complete harmony with the Godhead by the latter's grace - which is attracted by sincere petition or devotion. ... In this communion the self becomes one in purpose with the one reality and eternally serves that reality with no sense of any separateness from Godhead.

SCIENTIST PHOTOGRAPHS THE “SOUL” LEAVING THE BODY

RUSSIAN SCIENTIST PHOTOGRAPHS

THE “SOUL” LEAVING THE BODY AT DEATH

www.adguk-blog.com - The timing of astral disembodiment in which the spirit leaves the body has been captured by Russian scientist Konstantin Korotkov, who photographed a person at the moment of his death with a bioelectrographic camera. The image taken using the gas discharge visualization method, an advanced technique of Kirlian photography, shows in blue the life force of the person leaving the body gradually. According to Korotkov, navel and head are the parties who first lose their life force (which would be the soul) and the groin and the heart are the last areas where the spirit before surfing the phantasmagoria of the infinite.

In other cases according to Korotkov has noted that “the soul” of people who suffer a violent and unexpected death usually manifests a state of confusion in your power settings and return to the body in the days following death. This could be due to a surplus of unused energy. The technique developed by Korotkov, who is director of the Research Institute of Physical Culture, St. Petersburg, is endorsed as a medical technology by the Ministry of Health of Russia and is used by more than 300 doctors in the world for stress and monitoring progress of patients treated for diseases such as cancer. Korotkov says his energy imaging technique could be used to watch all kinds of imbalances biophysical and diagnose in real time and also to show if a person does have psychic powers or is a fraud.

These experiments about person's bioenergy field are not new. Since many years researchers has developed instruments which allow measuring the influence of spirituality on the human energy field. This method of Electrophotonic Imaging (EPI) also known by another name, Gas Discharge Visualisation (GDV), has demonstrated the influence of spiritual ceremonies, sacred places and spiritual healing in individuals. The EPI method is also used to study altered states of consciousness (ASC) which are achieved when a person enters during yoga meditation, mental training, religious ecstasy, or when under the influence of drugs, psychedelics or anesthesia. Our spiritual masters have noted that the material body is divided into the gross body and the subtle or astral body. The gross body is made of the five elemental states of solid, liquid, fire, air and space, which combine to form the physical bodies we inhabit. The astral body is made of a sense of false ego, intelligence and mind. But we have to know that we are not the body, neither the physical or mental (astral) body, for we are the eternal feeling soul. For this reason, the attempt to perform astral travels or to come out of body and discover something in the mental or astral fields or spheres is not a recommended process of Krishna Consciousness. (Editor's note).

WHAT DO THE VEDIC TEACHINGS TELL US? 

The theme of the gross body and the astral body is often ignored by people. The ignorance of our current society about it comes from the lack of understanding that the human being is not the gross body. ... The astral or subtle body is also material, as the mind, intelligence and false ego (ahankara or the wrongly identification of the being with matter), are material. Inside the subtle body there are all the memory registers and all the information you need to get a new body, and an assessment is made ​​by the law of karma. ... When a being disembodies the subtle body and the soul come out of the gross body and are taken to places and shapes according to the actions performed in the past and the wishes it had. However, when the soul has attained self-realization, its confinement in the material world is finished because it has transcended the designs of the mind, intelligence and ego mundane.

ALIEN LIFE 'FOUND FLOATING ABOVE THE EARTH'

ASTROBIOLOGISTS CLAIM TO HAVE
FOUND EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE FORM

www.sci-news.com - British astrobiologists are claiming to have found alien life form in the Earth’s stratosphere. They collected a small diatom frustule that could have come from space after sending a balloon to 27 km into the stratosphere during the recent Perseid meteor shower.
“Most people will assume that these biological particles must have just drifted up to the stratosphere from Earth, but it is generally accepted that a particle of the size found cannot be lifted from Earth to heights of, for example, 27 km. The only known exception is by a violent volcanic eruption, none of which occurred within three years of the sampling trip,” explained Prof Milton Wainwright from the University of Sheffield, who reported the discovery in the Journal of Cosmology.

“In the absence of a mechanism by which large particles like these can be transported to the stratosphere we can only conclude that the biological entities originated from space. Our conclusion then is that life is continually arriving to Earth from space, life is not restricted to this planet and it almost certainly did not originate here.”
The balloon carried microscope studs which were only exposed to the atmosphere when the balloon reached heights of between 22 and 27 km. It was discovered that they had captured a diatom fragment and some unusual biological entities from the stratosphere, all of which are too large to have come from Earth.  “If life does continue to arrive from space then we have to completely change our view of biology and evolution. New textbooks will have to be written!,” said Wainwright.

Scientists have claimed that they may have found alien life floating above the Earth. They have recovered an unusual sample of organic matter from a height of 27,000m. Professor Milton Wainwright said he was “95 per cent convinced” that the organisms did not originate from earth.  “Statistically, there's no reason why life should originate on earth. There are billions and billions of comets, but most biologists are stuck on earth,” he said. The modern Western understanding of the source and structure of the universe has been based on interpreting celestial phenomena observed by technological devices which were then analyzed within the framework of physics. However, this scientific framework cannot understand the Vedic accounts related to the source of the matter which forms the universes. In the Bhāgavata Purāna it is stated that only because of God the material universes - temporarily manifested by the reactions of the three modes of nature - appear factual, although they are unreal. Scientists, who have been taught only to observe the world from the point of view of modern science, consider these statements as absurd or mythological stories. (Editor's note).

WHAT DO THE VEDIC TEACHINGS TELL US? 

Our ideas of the nature of space, time, and matter are essential ingredients in our understanding of the cosmos. When we look into the heavens, our direct sensory data consist of patterns of light. These patterns say nothing, in and of themselves, about the nature of the sources of this light. In order to say something about the cosmic manifestations that have produced the light, it is necessary to assume that the universe is made of some kind of stuff, or matter, that has certain characteristics and obeys certain laws. Given such assumptions, we can then ask ourselves what arrangement of this matter, acting in accordance with the laws, would produce the observed light patterns. If we are successful in putting together a consistent explanation of the observed data based on the assumed laws and properties, then we tend to suppose that we have correctly understood the structure of the universe.

www.timesofindia.indiatimes.com - (New Delhi): Among other intriguing properties, the sacred lotus has the ability to generate heat and regulate its temperature like birds and mammals. This has been revealed by a team of researchers from University of Adelaide, who have unlocked the genetic secrets of one of the world's most unique and culturally significant plants, the lotus.
The work focused on its incredible ability to generate heat so that it can keep a constant temperature of around 32-34 degrees over a 2-3 day period, while the environmental temperature varies by up to 30 degrees - behaving like a warm-blooded animal. An international team has published its research in Genome Biology.

The scientific paper stated that the lotus has been cultivated as a food crop for more than 7,000 years in Asia and is prominent in both Buddhism and Hinduism. This sacred plant is noted for its long-lived seeds - viable for over 1,000 years - and for its water repellency and self-cleaning leaf surfaces. This 'lotus effect' is being adapted for industrial uses.
“The sacred lotus has huge cultural, religious, economic and medicinal importance and many unusual traits. It also has great scientific significance,” says professor Jenny Watling, head of the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences from University of Adelaide. “The heat generated and the aromas released are particularly attractive to pollinating insects,” added Watling.

An international team has sequenced and described the sacred lotus genome. The author of the article, Manash Pratim Gohain, explains that this study sheds new light on the evolutionary position of the lotus, one of the world's oldest flowering plants, and facilitates further research into its unusual characteristics. “We've found the biochemical pathway the lotus uses for this heat regulation. The plant can switch this pathway on or off, depending on whether it needs more or less heat ... so that it can keep a constant temperature - behaving like a warm-blooded animal,” says professor Jenny Watling. In most of the Hindus temples, the lotus flowers are used in decorations as a symbol of purity and beauty.

WHAT DO THE VEDIC TEACHINGS TELL US? 

Hindus have a special regard for the lotus flower, padma. Its one thousand petals have been associated with the mental convolutions, the chakras, finally culminating into Sahasrara, the highest stage of spiritual evolution. The lotus, which arises from mud roots and blooms in beauty, is a symbolic reminder of the emancipation of the mind from the low to the high. ... Lotus is considered special. The lotus flower, with its roots in the slush, rises up to bloom with beautiful petals. It occupies a very special place in Hindu theology. The highest meditation point, the Sahasrara chakra, is represented as the thousand-petal lotus flower. The lotus is regarded as the symbol of truth, compassion, and beauty - satyam, shivam, sunderam.
