Is there anything scientific about spirituality ?

Source: Super Science of Gayatri or Gayatri Mahavigyan

All of Spirituality is Scientific and in all science you can see spirituality –They are interchangeable terms . Modern Scientific temper is also the same as the basis for spirituality

Science and spirituality seek the same goal – The Pursuit of truth

Scientific method refers to bodies of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge. To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry must be based on gathering observable, empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning.

Aum = The one who pervades everything – knowledge/illuminationbhoor = embodiment of vital spiritual energy(pran) ;bhuwah = destroyer of sufferings ;swaha = embodiment of happiness ; (explain the phenomenon of life)tat = that ; (shows spirit of inquiry)savitur = bright like sun ; (observable source of light)varenyam = best choicest ; ( is emperical)bhargo = destroyer of sins ; (measurable evidence)devasya = divine ; these first nine words describe the glory of Goddheemahi = may imbibe ; pertains to meditationdhiyo = intellect ; yo = who ;naha = our ;prachodayat = may inspire! (Belief that sun can destroy sins is based on reasoning ! )

Why we confuse spirituality to miracles and Science to reality ?

If we define a "miracle" simply as an event which violates at least one

law of nature,

-- do “miracles” really happens or our present understanding

of laws of nature reaches it’s limit?

Sri Ram Sharma Acharya: “ Everything that looks “Miracle-like” is

governed by higher order subtle laws of nature which are not known to

ordinary persons”.

Vivekananda: “Just as the law of gravitation existed before its

discovery, and will exist even if entire humanity would forget it, so is it

with the laws that govern the spiritual world”

“Kan Kan Mein bagwaan hai”

In 1910 we discovered atoms and

by 1980 we have already divided

elementary particles into quarks

….science is still on quest to the

smallest particle….

WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY WILL

FIND ???

Science and spirituality are two sides of same coin : “Vasudeva Kutmbakam”

Thanks to the Digital revolution, emerging social

networking such as Twitter, Linkedin, facebook etc we can

say what our seers said and conceived and was thought as

a spiritual concept today is totally scientific

SAYANA WAS THE GREAT 14TH CENTURY COMMENTATOR OF THE VEDAS. IN SAYANA’S TIME, YOJANA = ~14.5 KM (AS GIVEN IN THE ARTHASHASTRA), AND A

NIMESA = 16/75TH OF A SECOND. I.E. 31929 KMS IN 0.10666 SECS

THIS TAKES US TO 299,334 KM/S, WHICH IS A MERE 0.15% AWAY FROM THE ACCEPTED VELOCITY OF LIGHT (299,792 KM/S). EVEN A DIFFERENT VALUE FOR THE YOJANA WOULD REMAIN OF THE SAME ORDER.

Message from Water

Positive thinking improves health ~80 % of our body is made out of water

Water is extensively used in almost all rituals including Pran Pratistha of

Murties.

Water from Ganges does not get spoiled! – there may be explanation here.

Thank you I will kill you Sanskrit Prayer

Dr. Emoto’s work can potentially explain many things:

SURYA CHIKITSA VIGYAN

• Pujya gurudev has written a book” titled” surya Chikitsa vigyan: based on

charging drinking water in sunlight for cure of various diseases.

lived on sunlight during his Sukhmikaran Sadhna.

• There are few Gayatri Pariwar sadhaks ( including one in Vadodara) who

lives on very little food.

Lets do an exercise to illustrate how science and spirituality are one.

What are our key values/sanskar and beliefs ?

What are our intentions, mental thoughts ?

What are our promises to ourselves, family, work and the world ?

What actions are we taking to the promises we have made ?

Are we aligned in life ?

The above mentioned framework is called “Leadership assessment tool” or LAT developed purely scientifically by American psychologists to boost productivity and develop leadership in organizations . For more info visit www.thelat.com
