It is hence that in Indian Philosophy Yajna is called divine father and Gayatri its divine mother. Without them our very existence shall get destroyed. In order to destroy from the very roots demonic black powers pervading everywhere, beastly activities like greed, lust etc, anarchy noted in families, society and nation and undesirable criminal elements, Super Power Yajnas and Gayatri prove to be sure shot Brahmastra weapons. Since we have forgotten both of them Indian society is rotting in such a demeaned condition. HH Gurudeva Shriram Sharma Acharya via his subtle vision had understood this fact very much in advance. Despite seeing man immersed neck deep in beastly sentiments and an environment reeking with foul stench, he never experienced despair or a sense of hopelessness. In very clear cut terms he proclaimed that man is the princely child of Almighty God, he oozes with divine potentials and is deep down divine in nature. It is but due to subjugation to circumstances faced that man has strayed away from the true goal of life. When a great sacred intellect in him shall awaken fully he shall be capable enough himself to fight such situations successfully. Hence Gurudeva reinstated Yajna and Gayatri in full glory. In every nook and corner of India and the world over he awakened peoples’ faith based sentiments. Today millions of people understanding the deep import of Yajna and Gayatri are marching ahead on the path of soul advancement and they are also taking deep interest in executing tasks of world well being. Yajna and Gayatri are 2 main pillars on which are dependent Vedic Culture, human civilization, spirituality and science to such an extent that our body, mind etc are carved by it. It is the very Prana and life force of the entire world, cosmos and interstellar space. Yajna is said to be symbol of great pious tasks and Gayatri represents great wholesome thinking. When both these combine goodwill based emotions and great world well being tasks augment manifold due to which world peace and possibilities of human welfare intensify and hence it becomes a medium for the well being of all living beings. HH Gurudeva Shriram Sharma Acharya is called this era’s Vishwamitra because he by rejuvenating Gayatri Super Science that had virtually disappeared so far rendered it worldwide instead of relegating it for the benefit of a small special class in society. Gayatri meditation is worship of a great divine intellect. Gayatri is called Vedmata or Mother of Vedas. The word ‘Veda’ means knowledge and wisdom. This knowledge via the 4 mediums of well being (Rig), enterprise (Yaju), sports (Sama) and wealth (Atharva) becomes the root foundation of the conscious activities of all living beings. It is the onrush of that conscious energy called Adi Shakti which incarnated at the commencement of world creation and in this manner this world got created via Brahmaji who was gifted with the knowledge of the 4 Vedas. Gayatri is that very Primordial Energy/Adi Shakti and hence is called Mother of the Vedas. Super Mantra Gayatri is called the gist and essence of all Vedic scriptures. In scriptures great Rishis of yore have eulogized this Mantra vociferously and in the Bhagwad Geeta very clearly Yogiraj Shri Krishna says that since Gayatri reigns supreme amongst all Cchandas or meters, Almighty God’s divine existence dwells in it. ‘Gayatri Cchand Samaham’. Super Mantra Gayatri albeit being tiny is a deeply profound cosmic religious scripture wherein each letter amongst its 24 alphabets oozes with tiny seed of divine wisdom that grows akin to a gigantic banyan tree. When it is watered the amplification of the 4 Vedas called ‘Apaurusheya’ (not created by any human being) appears in front of us all as the wisdom wealth of great Rishi-Munis. This is not only the very basis of the creation of this cosmos but that is also the fount of divine culture and world culture. Every letter of Super Mantra Gayatri is an imperishable fount of divine energy. It is the vault of infinite power and that Gayatri meditation executed in a correct manner manifest miraculous results in life. This definitely has been the experience of HH Gurudeva wherein by reading these lines we must learn how to imbibe information given in it and act accordingly in day to day living. HH Gurudeva by terming Super Science Gayatri as per Atharvaveda chiefly Brahmavarchas meaning an authority that bestows on us soul force has proved it to be the presiding power of Prana Energy. Today’s major hazard faced by the world is lack of will power and thus man has become weak in all ways. The human race suffering from distress requires that Sanjivani herb or root of life is present in the form of Super Mantra Gayatri. Lest if a person via meditation on this Mantra awakens his/her Brahmavarchas, regains his/her latent divine energy he/she can combat successfully all types of obstacles of life. Faith, steadfastness and worship of 3 legged Gayatri representing a divine intellect bestows on the devotee that very soul power which helps him/her march ahead in life while fighting battles against tainted sentiments, vile thinking and undesirable activities in a successful manner. While rendering his/her spiritual health fit and sound he/she augments his/her halo/divine aura prolifically. While leading one’s brain on the path of ethical greatness, one can render the divine creator’s wonderful garden called this world more divinely beautiful. Via this sacred wisdom the endeavor of positively transforming from the very roots entire human race and neo creating this world can be done by exhibiting to every world human the known-unknown aspect of Super Mantra Gayatri called the mother of Para (spiritual) and Apara (material) Science. Gayatri meditation and worship is a very supreme, easy path of devotion to Almighty God that bestows success quickly. Once we know this none needs to roam around elsewhere in a vain futile manner. Via the medium of ‘Gayatri va idam sarvabhutam yadidam kinch’ the author of Chandogya Upanishad very clearly says that whatever we perceive directly/indirectly in this world is but Gayatri manifest. Our Gurudeva Yuga Rishi Shriram Sharma lived a life totally dedicated to Super Energy Gayatri and he breathed his last while shedding his mortal coil on the auspicious day of Mother Gayatri incarnating in earth (Gayatri Jayanti according to the Hindu calendar/almanac).

  • SACRED SPACES and OBJECTS: the VISUAL, MATERIAL, and TANGIBLE George Pati
    SACRED SPACES AND OBJECTS: THE VISUAL, MATERIAL, AND TANGIBLE George Pati BRAUER MUSEUM OF ART | APRIL 13 — MAY 8, 2016 WE AT THE BRAUER MUSEUM are grateful for the opportunity to present this exhibition curated by George Pati, Ph.D., Surjit S. Patheja Chair in World Religions and Ethics and Valparaiso University associate professor of theology and international studies. Through this exhibition, Professor Pati shares the fruits of his research conducted during his recent sabbatical and in addition provides valuable insights into sacred objects, sites, and practices in India. Professor Pati’s photographs document specific places but also reflect a creative eye at work; as an artist, his documents are also celebrations of the particular spaces that inspire him and capture his imagination. Accompanying the images in the exhibition are beautiful textiles and objects of metalware that transform the gallery into its own sacred space, with respectful and reverent viewing becoming its own ritual that could lead to a fuller understanding of the concepts Pati brings to our attention. Professor Pati and the Brauer staff wish to thank the Surjit S. Patheja Chair in World Religions and Ethics and the Partners for the Brauer Museum of Art for support of this exhibition. In addition, we wish to thank Gretchen Buggeln and David Morgan for the insights and perspectives they provide in their responses to Pati's essay and photographs.

Sushrutha H. R. Nagendra Swami Vivekananda Yoga Swami Vivekananda Yoga University University Bangalore, India Bangalore, India R. G. Bhat Swami Vivekananda Yoga University Bangalore, India Introduction Vedas demonstrate three domains of living for betterment of process and they include karma (action), dhyana (meditation) and jnana (knowledge). As long as individuality continues as human being, actions will follow and it will eventually lead to knowledge. According to the Dhatupatha the word yajna derives from yaj* in Sanskrit language that broadly means, [a] worship of GODs (natural forces), [b] synchronisation between various domains of creation and [c] charity.1 The concept of God differs from religion to religion. The ancient Hindu scriptures conceptualises Natural forces as GOD or Devatas (deva that which enlightens [div = light]). Commonly in all ancient civilizations the worship of Natural forces as GODs was prevalent. Therefore any form of manifested (Sun, fire and so on) and or unmanifested (Prana, Manas and so on) form of energy is considered as GOD even in Hindu tradition. Worship conceives the idea of requite to the sources of energy forms from where the energy is drawn for the use of all 260 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MULTIDISCIPLINARY EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH ISSN : 2277-7881; IMPACT FACTOR - 2.735; IC VALUE:5.16 VOLUME 3, ISSUE 7(3), JULY 2014 life forms.

RAJAN1,2, UMAMAHESWARI KRISHNAN1,2, AND S. SETHURAMAN1,2* 1Centre for Nanotechnology and Advanced Biomaterials, 2School of Chemical and Biotechnology, 3Centre for Advanced Research in Indian System of Medicine, Sastra University, Thanjavur‑613 401, India Nagarajan, et al.: Science of Preparation of Naga Bhasma Naga bhasma is one of the herbo-metallic preparations used in Ayurveda, a traditional Indian System of Medicine. The preparation of Naga bhasma involves thermal treatment of ‘Naga’ (metallic lead) in a series of quenching liquids, followed by reaction with realgar and herbal constituents, before calcination to prepare a fine product. We have analysed the intermediates obtained during different stages of preparation to understand the relevance and importance of different steps involved in the preparation. Our results show that ‘Sodhana’ (purification process) removes heavy metals other than lead, apart from making it soft and amenable for trituration. The use of powders of tamarind bark and peepal bark maintains the oxidation state of lead in Jarita Naga (lead oxide) as Pb2+. The repeated calcination steps result in the formation of nano-crystalline lead sulphide, the main chemical species present in Naga bhasma. Key words: Sodhana (purification),naga bhasma, lead, lead oxide, lead sulphide, calcination Ayurveda, an ancient system of medicine, has been at 6 mg/kg body weight was found to be nontoxic practiced in India since time immemorial.

SHIVANANDANAGAR—249 192 Distt. Tehri-Garhwal, Uttar Pradesh, Himalayas, India. Publishers’ Note This book is a compilation from the various published works of the holy Master Sri Swami Sivananda, including some of his earliest works extending as far back as the late thirties. The questions and answers in the pages that follow deal with some of the commonest, but most vital, doubts raised by practising spiritual aspirants. What invests these answers and explanations with great value is the authority, not only of the sage’s intuition, but also of his personal experience. Swami Sivananda was a sage whose first concern, even first love, shall we say, was the spiritual seeker, the Yoga student. Sivananda lived to serve them; and this priceless volume is the outcome of that Seva Bhav of the great Master. We do hope that the aspirant world will benefit considerably from a careful perusal of the pages that follow and derive rare guidance and inspiration in their struggle for spiritual perfection. May the holy Master’s divine blessings be upon all. SHIVANANDANAGAR, JANUARY 1, 1993.

  • Agnihotra:- a Vedic Touch to Modern Agriculture Y
    Vol.1 Issue-8, APRIL 2021 (e-ISSN: 2582-8223) Agnihotra:- A Vedic Touch to Modern Agriculture Y. B. Vala1* Department of Agronomy, C. P. College of Agriculture, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar, Gujarat ARTICLE ID: 001 Abstract The intensive chemical agriculture that has been followed after successful green revolution in our country is causing heavy pollution of our soil, food, drinking water and air. The harmful chemicals are ingested into the body when we eat food grown under these conditions. The answer to our problems lies in Agnihotra Organic Farming. Agni means „fire‟ Hotra means „healing‟. It‟s written in the Vedas that “HEAL THE ATMOSPHERE AND IT WILL HEAL YOU”. The most significant aspect of Agnihotra is that it combines the energies of five elements sun, space, air, water and earth to produce subtle changes in the living organisms and helps to restore the bio-rhythm. Agnihotra is the basic HOMA for all HOMA fire practices given in the ancient Vedic sciences of bioenergy, psychotherapy, medicine, agriculture, biogenetics, climate engineering and interplanetary communication. Agnihotra can be referred as a non-convectional approach as it reduces microbial count and toxic gases in air and improve atmospheric quality. It increases plant growth, yield and quality parameter. Application of Agnihotra ash and biosol improve soil quality by increasing beneficial soil microorganism. It lowers the incidence of pest and diseases as well as heals the atmosphere by preventing it from minimizing the use of chemical fertilizer which are toxic for human, plant and livestock health. Agnihotra ash also work to purify water and make it suitable for agricultural use.

Pachaiyappan, D. Ushalaya Raj Institute of Advanced Study in Education, Saidapet, Chennai – 600 015, Tamil Nadu, India *Corresponding author P. Pachaiyappan Email: Abstract: Trees provide innumerable ecosystem services in human-dominated urban environment. Forest disturbances as well as biomass enrichments are tightly linked with atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration. All trees ≥5 cm diameter at breast height (dbh) were inventoried from a one hectare area of the Cooum river bank (CRB), Chennai Metropolitan city (CMC), India. Both above and below ground biomass were estimated by widely accepted regression equations with DBH and wood density as inputs. A total of 710 trees belonged to 22 families, 41 genera and 47 species were recorded. Trees accumulated 86.02 Mg dry biomass and 43.01 Mg C in a hectare. Members of Mimosaceae dominated the CRB with 231 individuals. Tamarindus indica contributed more (11.744 Mg; 13.7%) to biomass. As to the families Ceasalpiniaceae, Mimosaceae and Papilionaceae altogether contributed 55.61 Mg (64.64%) to total biomass. Tree diameter class 31-45 cm contributed more (35.15 Mg; 40.86%) to total biomass. On average each tree achieved 0.47 ± 0.1 cm dbh growth yr-1. In a year one hectare urban forest sequestered 3999.91 kg biomass and 1999.95 kg C.
