Dear Readers,
Radhekrishna!

A very happy deepavali to all the readers of Science and Hinduism blog.

In this article, we begin by explaining some new concepts and then we will link the concepts to something which we have discussed in our earlier articles.

We will disclose the theme of this article as we move on.

The RISHI’s (sages) sit in meditation, for years together. This is termed as 'Tapas' (penance). As per Hinduism, a person gets a huge amount of energy by doing 'Tapas'. In the ancient times, the asuras (demons) used to do tapas for several years to please the demi–gods and obtain the boon sought by them from those demi–gods.

To put it in layman's terms, tapas is an action doing which there is a huge inflow of energy. In doing tapas, a person constantly chants either the name of the demi–god whom he wishes to please or a powerful word like 'OM' etc.

A person after completing the tapas, can be compared to a reservoir. Just as a dam is a reservoir of water, the person who has completed the tapas is a reservoir of energy.

He may even be well described as a transformer of very high voltage current kept in it, ready for use.

When a man receives a shock from a transformer, say a very high voltage shock, he will naturally be charred to death. What does it all mean? The sudden explosion of very huge energy kept dormant over a long period, brings in complete destruction.

The same logic goes with the atom bomb. When an atom is bombarded within a closed atomic reactor, it is kept dormant and suppressed for a long time. It becomes all powerful, over a period of time. It is capable of destruction when it gets transformed into an atom bomb.

There are 9 openings in the human body:
First and Second are the two eyes;
Third and Fourth are the two ears;
Fifth and Sixth are the two nostrils;
Seventh is the mouth
Eighth is the genital
Ninth and the last is the anus.

The nine openings mentioned above are significant to the context described earlier related to 'tapas' and also the working and making of the atom bomb.

How is that? Let us see in the next article.

Till then do lots of chanting of Radhekrishna namam this deepavali and experience the difference in your lives.
