Acupressure and Conservation of energy in hinduism

Dear Readers,

Radhekrishna to all of you!!

A small notice to all our readers that on our blog, the article dated 21^st August was published incomplete. The error has been rectified now and the inconvenience to our readers is regretted. Please do read the full article now published.

We continue our discussion on the relation of the act of meditating with the principle of Conservation of Energy in this article.

Now we very well know that mediation helps increase our potential energy tremendously. The energy, which is otherwise wasted, even if we are not doing any physical activity but ‘merely’ thinking, such wastage is avoided. Yes, it’s very true that a lot of energy is actually wasted when our mind thinks. Comparatively speaking, when our body and mind is preoccupied with doing a particular activity, say reading a book, the energy spent then is less than energy spent when one has got nothing to do and one is just sitting and daydreaming (i.e. the mind is working due to the thinking done). Hence its better that one indulges oneself in doing definite work rather than doing nothing (which means thinking). This is because the mind is such that it can never ever remain idle. So better make the mind work lesser by doing definite work than making it work more by ‘merely’ thinking.

Applying the rule of total energy remaining constant, we concluded that during meditation, the potential energy is total energy or the kinetic energy is nil.

T. E. = MGH + 0 (K.E)
Here Mass M is negligible, as the body becomes light. Other parameters are Gravitation G and height H. The gravitation G is overcome by the power of chanting. The body floats in the air.

HERE T. E. α MGH (T. E. IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO MGH)

T. E α H (T.E. IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO HEIGHT)

The term directly proportional means that as height increases, total energy increases and as height decreases, total energy decreases.

SO, FOR THE DEVOTEE WHO IS FLOATING IN THE AIR, THE T. E. IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO HEIGHT.

THE ONLY FACTOR, WHICH IS A CONSTRAINT, IS MASS.

WHEN M = MASS IS LESS, THEN H = HEIGHT WILL BE MORE.

WHEN M = MASS IS HIGH, THEN H = HEIGHT WILL BE LESS.

That’s what the SATHGURU’s mean when they SAY, “ Reduce your burden. You have dumped sacks and sacks of sorrow in your mind. Reduce it. Your mind will then be free, and your body light.

So when the mass is reduced, the body will be floating in the air. Here the mass does not mean body mass. The accumulated energy in the mind represents the mass. Every action whether it is positive or negative, will release energy in the body. Those energies, which are either positive or negative, will be accumulated in the body. This total energy is termed as mass in the above paragraphs.

When the T.E. is full of positive vibrations, which will enhance the universal energy flow, then that will create a positive magnetic field around us. In the same way, the negative energies will lead to enveloping a negative field around us.

This same logic can be explained from an example. In our life right from childhood we are told to keep a good friend circle. We are told to avoid having friends who indulge in smoking, drinking and other bad habits; and those who shirk studies and only loiter around the whole day doing nothing. Why is it so? It is so because all such people represent negative energies. Their presence around us makes us think and behave like them. But if the force of positive energies is more i.e. if one person from the negative category is amongst many of the positive category then there is a greater chance that that person with negative energies would improve in that environment of positive energies.

THROUGH CONSTANT CHANTING OF RADHEKRISHNA NAMA JAPAM, WE ARE REDUCING THE NEGATIVE ENERGY FROM OUR BODY.

We are avoiding evil thoughts and consequent wasting of the brain’s potential energy.

So let us all pledge to think positive and think only as much as needed. Let the positive energies of Radhekrishna Sathsangam flow in our body and mind.

Acupressure and Conservation of energy in hinduism

Dear Readers,

Radhekrishna!!

The previous article concluded with the description of 'CHIN MUDHRA' a type of meditation symbol. We thus now know that the various postures in which the rishis did meditation had definite scientific reasoning behind it. Meditating in those poses helped in stimulating the acupressure points of the body, which resulted in generation of tremendous energy in the body.
In this article let us know the relation of the act of doing meditation by the rishis, with the principle that we have already discussed in our previous articles about the Law of conservation of energy. We have seen in that law as to how the total energy (T.E.) is equal to the sum of K.E. and P.E. i.e. (T.E. = P.E. + K.E.) is a constant, and we have also known the proportions of K.E. and P.E. at the three different stages of Vaikuntham, Devalokam and Bhoolokam.

By sitting and doing constant Nama Japam, the rishis used to acquire immense potential energy.

P E = mgh, where m = mass, g = gravitation force h = height.

After vigorous meditation, a bhakta (devotee) achieves the state of flying in the air. This means he overcomes the power of gravitation. When the body becomes light, it floats in the air. It is just like a balloon filled with sufficient amount of air. Yes its true that this is achievable. The human mind has the power to do such things. But it requires a high level of concentration, which nobody in today’s world possesses.

When sufficient air is blown in a balloon, it starts floating in the air. At the same time, when the entire air is blown out, then the balloon will fall down to the earth. Our body resembles the balloon. Through breath control (pranayam), the air passage is mildly oscillated within the inner cavity of lungs. The body becomes light.

In the formula of potential energy, P. E. = mgh,
if the parameter, “m” becomes negligible, then automatically, the body acquires the ability to fly. Our light body then has a lot of potential energy stored in it.

Let us look at the increase in potential energy in an indirect manner now.

Let us know the impact of meditation on the variables that make up the formula for kinetic energy.

K.E.= 1/2 mv²

In this formula, the variables involved are mass and velocity.

When the human body floats in the air, the velocity of the body is uniform and the mass is negligible.

Now let is bring another familiar law into picture.

NEWTONS LAW OF MOTION:

Every inanimate body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion along a straight line, unless it is acted upon by an external unbalanced force.

Applying this law in the above context,

The devotee resembles the body. The body remains in the state of rest when the devotee is sitting and doing meditation. However when the devotee is floating in the air, the motion remains uniform.The velocity then becomes zero.(Because there is no motion. Thus we can say that when the person meditates and does pranayam to such an extent that his body becomes light enough to start floating in the air, then that body’s kinetic energy becomes zero. That is, the potential energy of that body increases tremendously.

Because, the T. E. should remain constant (LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY). THIS MEANS THE VALUE OF P. E. HAS TO INCREASE.

Let us continue with the discussions in our next article. Let us then know the further interpretations of the discussions of this article.

Till then let us chant the Radhekrishna Nama and with the blessings of Gurujiamma and Guruji (Mahan Brahmashree Gopalavallidasar) channelise our powerful human mind in doing the right things and not misuse its powers.

Acupressure and Conservation of energy in hinduism

Dear Readers,

In our previous article, we started a new topic ACCUPRESSURE AND ENERGY CONSERVATION IN HINDUISM. Now you all must have understood the reason why the rishis used to wear footwear made of wood in ancient times. There are many such small things, which appear to be very insignificant to the human mind in this modern day world. However there are certain important reasons why those things are, that way. Their significance cannot be appreciated unless the information about such things is disseminated to the people at large.

Right from childhood so many questions arise in our mind like:
Why is a rangoli drawn in front of the house?
Why does one hold fasts (not eating anything)?
Why must a tulasi plant be planted in the house?
Why are colours sprayed on each other during holi?
Why do people meditate?
So on and so forth.

All such things seem redundant to a person if he does not know the significance of those things. The purpose of our blog is to spread knowledge about all such things, which are small parts of the huge parcel known as 'Hinduism'.

Continuing from where we left last time, here is a brief description of the wooden slippers:

The wooden slippers will be having a single hold. On one side of this hold would be the toe (first finger of our leg) and on the other side of this hold would be the remaining four fingers; index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger. One has to make a firm grip at the hold with the help of our toe and the index finger. This indirectly creates the effect of acupressure.

A specific acupressure point is located in the toes, which is connected to the brain and spinal chord.

When we obtain a firm grip on that hold of the PADHA RAKSHAI (wooden slippers) using our toe and our index finger, that specific acupressure point present in our toe, gets pressed. This activates the motor nerve impulses of brain and spinal chord making the power of meditation still more powerful. This is the reason why such slippers were worn in ancient times.

Moving further, there are various postures mentioned in yoga in which the rishis used to sit and do meditation. Now a question that arises is that why is it required to sit in certain specific postures only to meditate? The reason is that the yogic postures meant for meditation have specific significance towards acupressure points.

Following is an example:
The CHIN MUDHRA, is the basic type of meditation symbol. It is formed by folding the INDEX FINGER and THUMB. The tip of index finger represents the acupressure point for SINUS (ENERGY POINTS). SINUS FLUID is generated in the brain and it helps in the brain activity. The acupressure points connected to the thumb are

I) Pituitary gland
II) Pineal gland
III) Mental nerves
IV) head nerves and
V) spine.

Thus by folding the index finger and thumb, we are creating a circulation of electricity from one end to another.

The energy that is stored in the body flows to the thumb. That is passed on to the sinus points which are present in the index fingers. Thus a circuit of electricity is created, just like connecting the Negative and Positive Terminal of a battery. Here the circuit is a closed one. So, there is no loss of electricity. Thus the body current circulates within the body, without any loss. Thus the power of chanting (NAMA JAPAM) MULTIPLIES AND PRODUCES AN AVALANCHE EFFECT AS IN THE CASE OF ATOM BOMB.
Let us look at the scientific example of the atom bomb:
The energy released by small atoms is seemingly negligible. But, when the atoms are bombarded within the closed circuit, the energy released by these small atoms, combines
together. The cycle of bombardment is done, time after time. Thus it creates a massive energy. This massive energy bursts out, and there it attains the name of ATOM BOMB.

The same thing accounts well with chanting (NAMA JAPAM). But, the key point is that the circuit of electricity should be closed. The circuit is closed by CHIN MUDHRA in the hands. The energy loss is protected by PADHA RAKSHAI. (Wooden Slipper). Thus the energy released by the NAMA JAPAM accumulates time after time and it produces an avalanche effect, leading to enormous energy of unimaginable pores, as in the case of ATOM BOMB. Our Ancient Hinduism had a wonderful Science behind each and every aspect. Some People used to laugh at Rishis. They used to ask them, What is HE going to get by closing his eyes and folding his fingers and do continuous chanting? Yes, Of course HE is going to acquire enormous energy by means of HIS meditation and that energy will be stored within his body for future use by means of wearing the wooden slippers.

Let us know more about this in our next article. Till then Radhekrishna!!

Accupressure and Conservation of energy in hinduism

Jay Shree Poojyashree Shree Amma
Jay Mahan Brahmashree Gopalavallidasar
Jay Shree Radhekrishna Sathsangam

Dear Readers,

Radhekrishna! In this month falls a significant date which is 16th of August. The day is special because it is the festival of Janmashtami. It is Lord Krishna's birthday!
Please do see our website www.radhekrishnasatsangam.com
for the details pertaining to this day's celebrations by our Radhekrishna Sathsangam.

Coming back to the articles,

We concluded our dicussions relating to the potential and kinetic energies and their links with hinduism in our last article.

In this article we will be hitting on the relation between Accupressure and conservation of energy with its links, obviously, with Hinduism.

Nowadays, everybody is becoming aware about and willing to try out Accupressure Techniques. The increasing role played by the various mass media like radio, television, internet etc is contributing to such awareness. There is a lot of advertising in newspapers, television etc about accupressure clinics, accupressure methods and re;ated topics. 'Accupressure' has certainly come into the limelight as the 'next big thing', in todays world.
Accupressure concentrates on knowing certain points on our human body which are connected through nerves with the vital organs of the body such as brain, heart etc. The technique revolves around applying force on such critical points to cure various ailments. Every critical part could be connected with one or more vital organs of the body.

However, the fact remains that it is not new to 'hinduism'. This technique was known to us since ancient times. The RISHI's, who did meditation in forests, or any place where they would be undisturbed, used to wear slippers made of wood.

Why a wodden slipper? If in todays world a person is asked to wear wooden footware, he would laugh out loudly saying that there are much better alternative footware available. However, this is because everyone is ignorant about the reasons hidden behind it.

Our body itself, becomes a source of electricity after meditation. Meditating upon God has various benefits. It gives peace of mind to the person. It makes a person 'Sattvic'. Sattva-(goodness). The concentration power of a person increases. Electricity produced in the body after meditation, should be stored. The reason why it should be stored is that just as water if allowed to flow at the time of monsoon, will get percolated into the soil i.e. earth; similarly, the energy that is produced within the human body, as a result of meditation, will get transferred to the earth when there is a contact between the body and the earth.

However, if the water during monsoon is stored in a dam, then it becomes a reservoir of energy (in this case potential energy of water which is stored). Similarly, the human body should also become a reservoir of energy if the energy acquired through meditation needs to be utilised in the future. As per Science, earth is a great electro-magnet. It can easily absorb electricity from any thing. So, on touching the ground, the body current passes from the human body to the earth. The energy that was stored in the body, will be transferred to the earth.

Thus the valuable exercise of mediating in order to obtain energy becomes worthless. We know that wood is a non-conductor of electricity. Current or energy for that matter cannot pass through wood. This fact was known to the rishis in the ancient times and they used it to great effect. Our body makes contact with the earth through the legs. The slippers made of wood, act as a non - conductor of electricity, and prevent the body current (the positive energy produced in the body, by virtue of meditation) from passing to the earth.

Ancient Hinduism,has a significant knowledge about electricity. The people of those times had chosen a non -conducting material namely, wood to preserve the body energy. This is the reason behind the wearing of wodden slippers by the rishis of those times.
(WODDEN SLIPPERS - PADHARAKSHAI.)

However, you readers must be thinking that how is all this related with accupressure in any way? For the answer, wait till our next article.
Till then radhekrishna. Do Radhekrishna napajabam continuously and enjoy the bliss.

Potential energy and Kinetic energy

Jay Shree Radhekrishna Sathsangam

Dear Readers,

Radhekrishna!

On the 11^th of July was an important day according to the Hindu Calendar. It was Guru Pournima. In this regard, let us surrender ourselves to the feet of our Gurujiamma who is the Ultimate Liberator bestowed by Lord Shri Krishna and our Guruji Mahan Brahmashree Gopalavallidasar and offer the humble prayers. It is only Their blessings because of which all the members of Radhekrishna Sathsangam have realized the true purpose of this precious human life.

Jay Shree Poojyashree Shree Ammavaku Jay!

Jay Mahan Brahmashree Gopalavallidasarka Jay!

Coming back to the articles, let us know see the interpretation of zero potential energy and 100% kinetic energy in the third stage.

Human beings often feel that they have a “very high position” in the society. They take a lot of pride in saying this to others. But this so-called ‘high position’ is just an illusion. The actual ‘high position’ can be earned when a human being elevates himself to the upper worlds of ‘Vaikuntham’.

Thus on the earth (third stage) PE = 0 means that all the positions held by us, by means of posts, popularity etc., are zero in the context of GOD.

Isn’t it so very true dear readers? We toil for years to earn a position in the so-called ‘Society’ but of what use is it? One incident like the blasts of July 11, 2006 and the entire effort of so many years can go down the drain within seconds!!

Now let us know the interpretation of kinetic energy being 100% in this stage.

KE= ½ mv² Here m=mass v=velocity (motion).

KE= represents the “KARMA YOGAM”. Karma yogam in a nutshell is about dedicating all ones actions to the highest authority i.e. Lord Krishna.

In the Bhagwath Gita Lord Krishna has clearly instructed that whatever we eat, whatever we do, whatever austerities we perform, we should dedicate all of them to Him. This is the only way to remain unaffected by the results of those actions. One will not get disappointed from the results of any actions performed by him if they are dedicated to Lord Krishna.

A man can elevate himself to higher ENERGY LEVELS.

Through KE = 1/2mv². (m = body mass index).

V = velocity represents the bodily actions.

On the earth, man has energy in the form of KE= ½ mv²

As has been said again and again, the total energy remains constant.

So, if KE = ½ mv² reaches the levels compared to DEVALOKAM, then at that time, that particular soul is elevated to DEVALOKAM. When the individual acquires the energy equivalent to a propelling rocket, which orbits in the sky, out beating the gravitation force, then that individual possesses immense KE. So he enters the second stage inhibited by the demi-gods (Devalokam). Once this divine energy of KE expires, he falls from heaven to ground (just as a rocket would fall back to the earth if the fuel in it gets exhausted). So also by our actions we can get directly elevated to the first stage i.e. Vaikuntham.

Now to summarise the three stages,

On Earth KE= ½ mv²= KARMA YOGAM works.

In the second stage, Devalokam (Intermediate) = A balance should be achieved. ‘g’ should be overcome by means of height.(Holding very high PE to overcome the effect of ‘g’). KE should be maintained by means of uniform motion namely v= velocity should be uniform.

In the first stage (sky) (Vaikuntham)

PE=mgh=Infinite Potential Energy

When h= ∞ (Infinity) that represents the divine abode of BHAGAVAN. Here mgh= Infinite. KE= ½ mv² has ‘no’ role to play.

Because m is negligible, v is uniform i.e. in the divine abode of Bhagavan (Vaikuntham), the body becomes mass less (negligible mass).

Even though the body is there in the VAIKUNTHAM, it becomes senseless. So, there the effect of heat, cold, pleasure, and pain on the human body does not exist. The velocity ‘v’ remains uniform i.e. there is no movement at this stage.

The life of VAIKUNDAM remains with infinite PE and uniform motion of KE.

Thus the law of conservation of energy can very well be accounted by HINDUISM and KARMA THEORY.

Potential energy and Kinetic energy

JAY SHREE POOJYASHREE SHREE AMMA
JAY MAHAN BRAHMASHREE GOPALAVALLIDASAR
JAY SHREE RADHEKRISHNA SATHSANG

Dear Readers,

Radhekrishna!!

We have already discussed two out of three stages with respect to the proportions of potential and kinetic energy and the following were the conclusions:

In the first stage (Vaikuntham), the proportion of potential energy is 100% whereas that of kinetic energy is nil.

In the second stage (Devalokam), there is a continuous transformation from potential energy to kinetic energy and vice versa.

Now let us see what is exactly the case in the third and the last stage i.e. Bhoolokam (the world of human beings).

The Bhoolokam (earth),

On the earth, the value of the variable, ‘height’ (h) in the formula

P.E. = mgh is ‘0’

Hence, PE = mg x 0 = 0

Now if the total of P.E. + K.E. has to be 100% always, then it means that at this stage, the proportion of kinetic energy has to be 100%. This in turn means that all the energy that human beings (who inhibit this world) have, is in the kinetic form i.e. owing to their motion.

Thus, on earth we human beings have zero potential energy. We do not possess the powers to lift our bodies by ourselves and fly above the ground in the sky i.e. we don’t have powers to defy the gravitational force (g) exerted by the earth on us. The influence of this force on us constantly keeps us on the ground. But in the ancient times, the rishis, with the power of meditation and yoga, attained powers that could make them fly in the sky thereby defying the gravitational force.

In the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu, in which he was born as the son of King Dashratha as Lord Rama, there is an incident when the brother of Lord Rama (Lakshmana) gets severely injured in the battle with the army of Ravana and the vaidya (known as a ‘doctor’ in today’s world) advises that a particular herb called as ‘Sanjeevani’ which was found only on the mountain named ‘Nilgiri’ in the Himalayas be brought. Now this herb had to be made available overnight! So at that time the devotee of Lord Rama, Hanuman, (who is the eleventh incarnation of Lord Shiva) rises to the occasion and flies all the way from Sri Lanka to the Himalayas and back in one night’s time to get that herb. Now several people, especially Indians, know all this as they would have heard this as a bedtime story from their grandparents.

But the mentioning of all this, in this article of ours, has a different purpose altogether. The point to be noted from the above incident is that how was it possible to get that herb in such a short time? The answer, if put ‘scientifically’, is that Lord Hanuman converted his body mass into energy, which helped him move at the speed of light thereby facilitating the successful accomplishment of the task, overnight. When a body (mass) is converted into energy, it can travel with a very high velocity. The above incident was ‘just’ another example of conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy.

In our next article, let us see that what is the interpretation of zero potential energy and 100% kinetic energy at this third stage (ground level) or (earth), in hinduism.

Till then do Guru Dhyanam (reflecting on one’s Guru, continuously thinking about one's Guru; and enjoy the real bliss). Radhekrishna!

Potential energy and Kinetic energy

JAY SHREE POOJYASHREE SHREE AMMA

JAY MAHAN BRAHMASHREE GOPALAVALLIDASAR
JAY SHREE RADHEKRISHNA SATHSANG

Dear Readers,

Radhekrishna!!

Hinduism has a lot of undiscovered secrets. Some of these have been lost in the transition from one generation to the other, as the knowledge known to the earlier generations was not transferred to the subsequent generations. The rishis of the ancient times had great knowledge about different sciences. They knew the healing powers of several herbs found in the forests; they could predict the weather by merely studying the sun, sky and the stars and planets in the sky; they knew the secrets of living a long life etc. The motive of this blog is to reveal some such secrets, which have always been a part of Hinduism.

In the last article we described the proportions of potential and kinetic energy in the second stage i.e. the world inhibited by the demi-gods.

Following is the continuation of the same:

In DEVALOKAM, the motion is uniform. This implies, the velocity of the moving objects is uniform.

i.e. in KE= ½ mv², the velocity 'v' remains uniform.

Let us now understand the meaning of the sentence,

‘UNTIL IT IS FORCED BY SOME EXTERNAL FORCE’ in a spiritual terminology.

This external force, which disturbs the uniform motion, is described as “ASURA” (devil). These devils create an imbalance. In Hinduism, this imbalance is described as WAR between DEVA and ASURA. Thus an imbalance in the uniform motion in scientific terms is the war that happens between the good and the evil or between the devas (demi-gods) and the asuras (devils).

As per law, TE should be constant always. At the end of war, the equilibrium is achieved. Thus the total energy remains constant.

The story of DEVALOKAM is full of pity. This is because there is a lot of volatility at this level as far as the quantum of potential and kinetic energies is concerned. The quantum of both the forms of energy is continuously swinging here. The potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy when the uniform motion in this world is disturbed by devils who challenge the demi-gods for a war. The potential state of the demi-gods then gets converted to kinetic energy as the war starts. At the end of the war again the kinetic energy is converted into potential energy. Also, the devas have to constantly keep a watch on the pull exerted on them by the ground (g). They have to maintain their high altitude (position) obtained by earning of many good virtues (punyam). Else, they would be pulled down to the third stage i.e. the world of the mortals (human beings). They can also get elevated to the higher world (first stage) provided they are successful in increasing their potential energy and decreasing the kinetic energy. This is possible through penance.

So to summarise, the potential energy here is alternative. The kinetic energy is imbalanced by unwanted enemy forces.

On one side gravitation pulls the Deva to the earth. On the other side, the Asura imbalances the KE by disturbing the velocity of the Deva.

Thus the position of demi-gods is like that of a person sitting on a see-saw. They may go up or fall down.

That was about the second stage. Lets look at the third stage in our next article. Till then Radhekrishna!

Potential energy and Kinetic energy

JAY SHREE POOJYASHREE SHREE AMMA
JAY MAHAN BRAHMASHREE GOPALAVALLIDASAR
JAY SHREE RADHEKRISHNA SATHSANG

Dear Readers,

Radhekrishna!

In this article, we describe the second stage (intermediate stage) which is inhibited by the devas or demi-gods. We will look at the proportions of potential and kinetic energy at this altitude. In the first stage, we understood that the potential energy is infinite whereas the kinetic energy is nil. Let us see that in this stage, what is the case.

The intermediate stage, Devalokam.

PE = mgh, and KE = ½mv²

In this stage, the 3 variables namely m, g, v have a role i.e. unlike in the first stage where mass ‘m’ was negligible, velocity ‘v’ had no role and gravitational pull ‘g’ was nil, here, in this stage, all these variables have values.

Let us see how this statement

TE = mgh + ½mv² = a constant, is true in this stage.

In this stage, the crucial role is played by g = gravitational acceleration. It is the force exerted by the earth that pulls everything towards it. Gravitational acceleration pulls the body from heaven to the ground.

Velocity, ‘v’ represents movement, since here, in Devalokam, movement takes place.

PE = mgh, where m = mass, g = gravitational acceleration, h = height.

‘m’ represents body mass. The Devas possess a comparatively high value of energy over human beings in the context of mass. ‘m’ has a high value in this stage. ‘h’ represents height from ground to Devalokam.

The gravitation force pulls the body, (Deva) from heaven to ground.

Let us take a scientific example to understand all this:

The rockets that are sent to outer space should have the energy to overcome the gravitational pull exerted by the earth (‘g’). Only when they cross the influence of ‘g’, they can orbit in the sky without falling back to the earth. Once this energy gets exhausted, the rockets cannot remain in space; they fall on the ground.

The same is applicable to the Devas. Once the account of punyam (virtues) gets exhausted, they lose their energy. Once they lose their energy, the gravitation pulls them back to the earth.

Potential energy at the intermediate stage:

Here PE= mgh is different than what it was in the first stage. In the first stage, height was infinite and hence, PE was infinite. But in this stage, height is finite, and gravitational force ‘g’ is also present. Mass is also finite here (in the first stage it was negligible.)

In Devalokam, the PE=>mgh oscillates.

The ‘g’ pulls the DEVA to ground. The Deva tries very hard to hold on to the potential energy (PE) that he possesses to come out of the trap of ‘g’.

Kinetic energy at the intermediate stage.

Coming to the kinetic energy,

KE= ½ mv².

V= velocity of object. Velocity is judged by motion.

Here, another scientific law; ‘a law of motion’ comes into picture

It goes thus: ‘‘every inanimate body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion along a straight line, unless it is acted upon by an external unbalanced force”.

Below is the break up of the key words from the above statement.

1. State of rest = Ground (P.E.)

2. Uniform motion

3. UNTIL IT IS FORCED BY SOME EXTERNAL FORCE.

Let us apply this law with the above key words to Hinduism. But for that wait till our next article.

Till then, radhekrishna. Do more and more chanting.

Sarvam Guruvarpanam.

Potential energy and Kinetic energy

JAY SHREE POOJYASHREE SHREE AMMA

JAY MAHAN BRAHMASHREE GOPALAVALLIDASAR
JAY SHREE RADHEKRISHNA SATHSANG

Dear Readers,

Radhekrishna! We discussed the terms Potential energy and Kinetic energy in our previous article. We explained to you these two terms in ‘spiritual terminology.’ We continue with our explanations in this article also.

A body (mass) can have three stages. levels on the basis of height (altitude)

1. In the sky

2. Intermediate

3. On the earth i.e. (Ground level)

DIAGRAM 2:

The total energy remains constant at any point in time

Total energy = Potential energy + Kinetic energy

i.e. TE = PE + KE

= mgh + ½mv²

remains constant at any point in time in all the three stages viz.

1. The sky

2. Intermediate

3. Ground.

The first stage (sky) includes the upper worlds of Vaikuntham,

The intermediate stage includes Devalokam, (the world of demi-gods) and

The ground level is represented as Bhoolokam. (the world of we human beings)

Let us discuss the proportions of potential and kinetic energy in each of the above stages, one by one. Let us find out that at every level (altitude) if the total energy is 100% then out of this 100% how much percent if potential energy and how much percent is kinetic energy.

State 1 : Sky

The sky is boundless. One does not know where the sky actually ends. The fact is that there is no end to the height of sky.

In the sky, h (height) = infinity.

So in the upper worlds, the proportion of potential energy is highest whereas kinetic energy is nil.

With the means of scientific formulae, this can be explained as under:

potential energy = mgh,

where mass (m) is negligible and height (h) is infinite.

In the sky, the gravitational pull exerted by the earth, which pulls everything towards the earth, is nil owing to the high altitude. It has no effect in the formula PE = mgh

So, PE = mg x infinity

= infinity

KE = ½mv², where v = velocity of light.

In the sky, ‘m’ is negligible and velocity ‘v’ has no role to play since there is no movement in the sky. So v² has no impact. Therefore, KE = 0.

Thus it can be concluded that

In the sky, TE = infinite PE + 0. (Where KE = 0).

The person who possesses such immense potential energy is given a very high position in the upper worlds.

So in the upper worlds various posts are given depending on the hierarchy of PE (potential energy).

At the apex (top most level) of this hierarchy of the upper worlds, is the abode of Lord Shri Krishna which is called Vaikuntham. Lord Krishna is the caretaker of one and all. Below him are the various forms of Lord Krishna such as Brahma, the creator; Vishnu, the maintainer and Shiva, the destroyer. Their worlds are Brahmalokam, Vishnulokam and Rudralokam. These forms have been assigned their respective duties and are hence they are a subset of Lord Krishna.

We will look at the remaining stages in our forthcoming articles as regards the extent or proportion of potential and kinetic energy at those stages.

Till then do continuous chanting by just surrendering yourself at the lotus feet of Lord Shri Krishna. Total Surrender (sharanagathi) is one of the most important messages which is spread to everyone by our beloved Gurujiamma. She has always stressed the importance of shedding one's ego and surrendering to Lord Krishna.

Try out this method just as you eat a food preparation, which you have never eaten before.

Potential energy and Kinetic energy

Radhekrishna to all the readers!

We continue with our explanation on the scientific law of conservation of energy. In this issue we will explain you the terms ‘potential energy’ and ‘kinetic energy’ in both scientific and spiritual ways.

Scientific law says, “The total energy remains constant always “. The two forms of energy are potential energy and kinetic energy.

Potential Energy is the energy possessed by virtue of its position. An example would be water stored in a dam. This water if allowed to flow and fall from a height is capable of producing electricity. But when stored in a dam, it has potential energy.

Kinetic Energy is the energy acquired through motion. An example would be an arrow released from a bow. Due to its motion, it has energy which hurts the person or the object at which it is aimed.

Total Energy = Sum of potential energy and Kinetic energy.

Let us call Total Energy = TE, Potential Energy = PE, Kinetic Energy =KE.

Hence, TE = PE + KE.

PE = mgh, where, m = mass, g = gravitation force, h = height.

KE = mv², where, m = mass, v² = velocity of light.

As per law TE = PE + KE => TE = mgh + mv²

i.e. mgh + 1/2mv² remains constant always.

These two forms of energy can be directly correlated to hinduism in the following manner:

The two corresponding forms of potential and kinetic energy are

1) SHIVA and 2) SHAKTI respectively.

Among the three qualities ‘Sattva’ (goodness), ‘Rajas’ (passion) and ‘Tamas’ (ignorance), Shiva represents the quality of ignorance. Brahma represents the quality of passion. Vishnu represents the quality of goodness.

Shiva represents “IDLENESS”. People describe a person who is very lazy by saying, “He sits idle just as SHIVA”. Prima Facie, he (Shiva) just sits idle (But actually he does meditation).

Shiva is considered to have a lot of potential energy. His divine abode is very high, above in the sky. Shiva corresponds to the entire potential energy which is given by P.E. = mgh

The counter part of SHIVA, SHAKTI represents movement i.e. K.E. (kinetic energy)

KE = 1/2mv². m= mass, v = velocity.

When a body moves from rest, it will be moving with a velocity v.

m=mass of the body. KE comes only when the body is in motion.

“SAKTHI” represents movement. “SAKTHI” acquires her energy by means of motion.

Shakti corresponds to the entire kinetic energy, which is given by

K.E. = 1/2mv².

To summarise:

PE = Potential energy = mgh = energy by position = SHIVA = IDLE (sitting)

KE = Kinetic energy = 1/2mv² = energy by motion = SHAKTI = MOVEMENT (motion).

The total energy = PE + KE.

Thus SHIVA and SHAKTI are equally powerful. One half of the total energy is SHIVA while the other half is SHAKTI.

They represent the two sides of the coin, i.e. of the total energy namely PE and KE.

So dear readers, this was a description of potential and kinetic energy with ‘a touch of Hinduism.’

We will continue on related topics in the next issue.

Till then keep chanting the name of Lord Radhekrishna and enjoy the peace of mind attained through it.

Sarvam Guruvarpanam.

Law of Conservation of Energy

Radhekrishna to all the readers.

We will continue our article on the law of conservation of energy in this article. All of you must be curious to know the explanation of the diagram, which was presented in the last article. Your curiosity ends here because we present that explanation in this article.

Coming to the explanation of the diagram.

(Please refer our diagram from the last article)

‘m’ represents the mass of body.(dead body). We call it as body mass index (b.m.i).

In the diagram, ‘A’ represents the starting point and ‘B’ represents the ending point.

A = New born baby B = Death

V--- represents the path from A to B. (birth to death)

---V represents the path from B to A. (death to Rebirth)

Thus the cycle of birth and death continues.

If v represents soul i.e. source of all energy, then it should have some dependency over m (mass) i.e. the body.

According to Hinduism, the soul is represented as ‘JYOTHI SWAROOPAM’ (LIGHT FORM). The soul disappears from one body and reappears in another body.

Now come to E = mc².

m= mass ‘m’ represents the mass of dead body.

C² = velocity of light.

The ‘JYOTHI SWAROOPAM’ (soul) moves from one body to another. The cycle of birth and death continues. This moving of the soul from one body to another body corresponds to the scientific term of energy transfer. In Hinduism this movement of the soul is defined as ‘Samasara’. Literally it means leading one’s life, one birth after the other continuously. And since the number of births that one undergoes is countless; till one attains salvation (moksha), this goes on. Thus concept of energy transfer can very well account for the “SAMSARA” concept.

Hence it is said that avoid the Samasara Sagara and attain moksha i.e. avoid the continuous and repetitive cycle of birth and death by attaining salvation. This is only the real purpose of human life. This has always been propogated in Hinduism. Because samasara is like an ocean (sagara). It has no limits. If one wants to escape from the samsara sagara the only way out is to make use of this birth of a human being by doing continuous chanting of the 'radhekrishna namam' to attain moksha.

So dear readers, don’t you feel that the scientific laws have been already described in Hinduism since time immemorial? Yes its very true! There is no doubt about it.

We will continue to explain the spiritual explanations prevailing in the scientific laws, but for that wait till our next article.

Till then radhekrishna to all of you!

Law of Conservation of Energy

Dear Readers,

Radhekrishna! In the last article, we presented you an illustrative example with scientific and spiritual reasoning as to what is the importance of going to a temple and worshipping the idol of God. It seems so fascinating isn’t it? To be frank nobody has this thinking when one goes to a temple that by doing so he would be receiving immensely powerful positive radiations from the idol that he/she is worshipping!! One scales the steps of a temple when he/she is in trouble!! Otherwise who bothers to even think about God?

There is a feeling that whatever good is happening is happening because of our own efforts and whatever bad is happening is a result of God’s wrath and his merciless nature!!

What logic is this? Unconceivable isn’t it? But it is to be remembered that whatever is happening with us is the best for us and it is happening only because of His wish.

Coming to our this weeks article, its not a continuation of our last article. This time we are presenting before you a topic on which there have been articles written previously on our blog. That topic is the ‘Law of Conservation of Energy’. We bring you a spiritual explanation of Einstein’s formula E=mc² and explanations related to this law with a spiritual reasoning’s.

Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. Energy disappearing in one form reappears in another.

The above is the law pertaining to energy.

The same verse is explained in Hinduism, through the word Athma (soul). The soul can neither be created, nor destroyed. The soul disappearing in one form reappears in another form.

Hinduism lays a strong foundation onto the concept of rebirth. According to Hinduism, every human being has to take many births. At one point of time, the soul attains salvation. Our body is decomposable. But the inner soul remains immortal. The body functions through some source of energy. We absorb energy from outside sources (remember our last article on idols which are a source of energy?). The energy is stored in the body. The energy stored in the body helps in bodily movements. The body changes from the state of child to the state of oldness. Finally the body becomes dead. In Hinduism, death is treated as transfer of energy. The soul (energy) disappears from one body. This disappearance is treated as death, in the worldly context. The soul enters into another body. It reappears in the form of a newborn child. This is treated as birth. So the cycle of birth and death continues on and on.

Energy disappearing from one form

(The soul leaving the body)

=> Death

Energy reappearing in another form

(The soul entering a new body)

=> Birth

The second chapter of Gita emphasizes on this concept of the immortal nature of the soul and the mortal nature of the body. It says as follows:

The soul cannot be destroyed. It cannot be destroyed by weapons or be burnt by fire. It cannot be drowned by water, nor can it be dried in air. It cannot be vaporized. The source of energy remains absolute and cannot be destroyed. This absolute form of energy is described as immortal soul.

The body is non-living. The soul represents the source of life. The scientific law says:

E = mc², where ‘m’ represents mass. ‘c²’ represents velocity of light.

The energy depends on two variables namely mass and velocity of light.

Take a look at the diagram below:

We will continue with the explanation of this diagram in the next article.

Till then Radhekrishna!
