1.  MYSTERY OVER WORLDS BIGGEST EXPLOSION 110 YEARS AGO IN RUSSIA

      The great explosion in Russia about 110 years back which is equal about 185 Hiroshima bombs is still a great mystery. A large fireball crossed the Siberian sky on June 20^th 1908 and exploded about 6 miles above Earth flattening about 80 million trees and left several charred reindeer dead bodies. Some Italian investigators studied the phenomena after 21 years later and suspected due to fall of a big meteorite. But this idea is not accepted by the Russian geologists. Some suggests that it may be a space object such as a comet made up of ice rather than rock moving at a speed of 9 – 19 miles per second. But most of the scientists do not accept any of the above theories. The matter is still under investigation. It is still a mystery.

2.  The shocking mystery of the ship Ourang Medan.

     In February 1948 distress calls were picked up by many ships near Indonesia from the Dutch freighter SS Ourang Medan indicating that all the officers and the captain are dead in the chartroom and he too was dying. When a rescue ship arrived and boarding party entered the ship they found that all the crew and officers were found dead. Their eyes were open and faces were looking towards the Sun (probably that is the direction from which the evil entered the ship), arms were outstretched with a look of terror on their face. There are no signs of foul play or sabotage and no signs of damage to the ship. The rescue team heard an inhuman and fearsome laughter and also some sudden appearance and disappearance of some strange lights. Once they tried to tow that ill-omened ship to the dock and attached the tow line to the ship they found strange smoke coming out of the ship. The ship exploded with fearsome sound the moment the tow line is removed. Till today the exact fate of the ship Ourang Medan and her crew remains as a mystery.

3. THE MYSTERY OF THE LOST CITY OF ATLANTIS:

     Atlantis still captures the imagination of millions whether it is real or a myth. Here are some basic facts. Atlantis was first described by the Greek philosopher                           Plato more than 2000 years ago. Many believe that it is a myth created by Plato to illustrate his theories about politics. Others believe that it is based on a real historical disaster. According to Plato’s account, written around 360 B C, Atlantis was a major sea power located in the ocean Atlantic. It was larger than Libya and Asia Minor (modern Turkey put together), and was the way to the other islands, and from these you can pass to the opposite continent. His accounts included detailed description of the island – with mountains on the North and along the coast and a plain in the South. The entire island sank into the sea in a single day and night of misfortune. Some believe that the Atlantis myth was inspired by the Black Sea floods of around 5000 B C as in the Old Testament of the Bible. Over the centuries scholars have attempted to locate the real Atlantis but could not succeed. It is still a mystery.

4. MYSTERIES ALIGNMENT OF THE ANCIENT SITES OF THE WORLD

There are hundreds or perhaps thousands of sites of archaeological importance throughout the world. Many of these sited seemed to be aligned. The sites Giza, Sowa, Tassili, n’Ajjer, Paratoari, Ollantaytambo, Machupicchu, Nazca, Easter Island, aneityum Island, Preahvihear, Sokhdthai, Pyay, Khajuraho, Mohenjo Daro, Persepolis, Ur, Petra are shown from Giza, on equal azimuthal projection. Since all the sites on the great circle alignment are of equal distance from the axis point at one quarter of the circumference of the Earth the alignment forms a perfect circle between halfway from the center and outer edge of the projection.  This alignment seems to be mysterious.

5. SAILING STONES:

 The stones of racetrack playa slowly move across the surface without the human or animal intervention. While moving these also leave a track before them. These stones as heavy as human cannot move with wind, so easily. Since no one has ever filmed these stones moving, it remains still as a top unsolved mystery.

 

6.  Dancing Plague:

In July 1518, a woman, Frau Troffea, began dancing in a street of Strasbourg. This was not just for entertainment. It was an obsession that soon, within a month, spread in the area and 400 other people of Strasbourg joined her in dancing. They danced continuously not only for days or weeks, but for months. Some of them died from heart attacks, strokes and exhaustion. No one had any idea why people were such obsessed with dance that they lost their life.

7. Lady Dais

Scientist found an ancient body in China which is the most well preserved body till now. The body is around 2,000 years old and known as Lady Dais of the Han Dynasty. She died between 178 and 145 BC at the age of around 50, possibly because of a heart attack. The skin of the mummy is still soft, and her arms and legs could flex at the joints. The mummy had preserved in a mysterious liquid which scientist still can’t replicate.

8.  Spontaneous Combustion

On 15th September 1982, Jeannie Saffin eventually wrapped into flames while sitting on a chair. Her father, who was the witness of this incident, says he saw flash light came out of his eyes corner and hands. She covered into flames and didn’t cried or moved even. While investigation, police found no reason of Jeannie’s combustion. There was no sign of burning in the house except Jeannie’s body. The cause of her death is still unknown.

9.  Red Rain

In 2001, from July to September, heavy rain fall sporadically in Southern Indian State, Kerala. It was not an ordinary rain, but a special one. The color of rain’s water was red. The clouds were spitting out blood. The Indian Government claimed it is because of airborne spores from locally prolific terrestrial alga. But a media report, published in 2006, claimed that the colored particles were extraterrestrial cells. Despite many research, it is still unknown.

10. The disappearance of Malaysian Airlines Flight 370

The last of this collection of unsolved mysteries took place on March 8, 2014, while flying from Malaysia to China, a Boeing 777 carrying 239 passengers and crew members seems to have vanished into thin air. The multinational search effort, the largest in aviation history, has turned up a mere 20 pieces of aircraft debris. The Prime Minister of Malaysia has declined to comment other than to say that the aircraft disappeared over the Indian Ocean. The lack of closure has engendered multiple theories, many of which are considered “conspiracy theories,” which, according to Harvard professor Cass Sunstein, are a natural product of “horrific and disastrous situations, because such events make people angry, fearful, and looking for a target.”

Theories include hijacking, capture by the United States, crew suicide (it was reported that the pilot was having marital problems), a fire aboard the aircraft, vertical entry into the sea, a meteor strike, and even alien abduction.

Notwithstanding the passage of three years and the expenditure of $160 million scouring thousands of square miles of ocean, the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 and the 239 people aboard remains a mystery.

MYSTERIES OF THE UNIVERSE

 

MYSTERIES OF THE UNIVERSE:

1.     DARK MATTER (The spiders web).: Planets, stars, Galaxies make up less than 5% of the universe. Scientists think that about 25% of the universe is covered by black matter. We cannot see it, but we are sure that it exists because of its gravity. Some think that the dark matter is composed of some undiscovered particle or particles, others believe it as an undiscovered property of gravity. Dark Matter is a real puzzle.

2.     DARK ENERGY (The Poltergeist): This covers about 70% of the universe. This is powerful enough to tear the entire universe asunder. Dark Matter appears to mesh the galaxies together, while the Dark Energy seems to push everything apart. Scientists believe that the Dark Energy is responsible for the fast expanding universe. Some believe that it is produce due to the collision of the quantum particles, but no one knows it is true. 

3.     QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT (Spooky action):  According to Albert Einstein it is a phenomenon by which two different particles in totally different parts      of the universe can be linked to one another, mirroring the behavior and the state of their partner.  For particles to be connected across such vast distances, they must be sending signals to one another that travel faster than the speed of light. Because of its spooky characteristics, entanglement could eventually become the bedrock of next generation.

4.     ANTIMATTER – (THE EVIL TWINS): The sub atomic particles that make up everything around us – electrons, protons and neutrons – all have evil twins. Antimatter particles have the same mass as the normal particles but      have the opposite electric charge. When matter and antimatter meet there can be enormous destruction to each other liberating most powerful gama rays. Scientists are planning to create antimatter and to use the energy liberated by the reaction of matter and antimatter in running spacecrafts. How for it can be successful we have to watch and see. Most of the antimatter is getting destroyed at the center of the galaxy itself as matter                       is more than antimatter and hence antimatter cannot reach us. Hencee there is no danger to us from antimatter.                                                                                                   

5.     BLACK HOLES – (The massive monsters):  These are the regions of enormous gravitational pull so that anything around it can be drawn into it.               Not even light can escape. That is why we cannot see a black hole. There seems to be100 million black holes in our galaxy, MILKY Way. These are billions of times more massive than our Sun. At the center of each galaxy there lurks a super massive black hole.

6.     COSMIC RAYS - ( The ghostly visitors):  Cosmic rays are high energy         particles that come from outer space and regularly  bombard Earth. Our atmosphere protects us from cosmic rays. In the upper layers of stratosphere these layers can affect human beings as well as electrons. Astronauts and aircraft crew are more likely to be affected by these rays. Electronics are the more potential victims of cosmic rays. Very rarely a cosmic ray particle with enough energy can go straight into an electronic system causing damage to it. The high energy particles can disrupt electronic data, leading to system crashes. And in an increasing digital world it is not good news. The race is on to find solution.

7.     LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE: As for as our knowledge is concerned planet Earth is the only place where life is available. Bu the universe is unlimited. There are many stars like our Sun. Many such stars may have planets that are suitable for creation of life. Considering the size of the universe scientists believe that life exists at many places in the universe. Let us a nalyse the probability with the following assumptions.

1.     Rays of every star has inheriting nature to produce life under suitable conditions of any planet rotating around it or in any planet rotating around any star. 2. Intelligence of life is dependent on the distance between the star and the life generating planet. 3. Hence it is clear that a star generates superior life in the planets rotating around it only if the planet supports the life creating conditions such as water oxygen, suitable temperature etc. 4. Other inferior life on the same planet may  be  from the rays of other distant stars. 5.It can be concluded that every life giving rays of a star can produce life on every planet of any stat that supports life giving conditions. 6. From    the above argument it can be concluded places in the universe is equal to number of species in any one life supporting planet of any star.  7. When new light rays are coming to Earth for the first tome from long distant stars, new species are being formed on Earth. 8. Hence it can be concluded that life exists in unlimited places in the Universe. 9. In other exoplanets there may be inferior human life resembling animas with four legs but the head resembling partially that of a human with less intelligence. 10.This is only my understanding based on certain statistical analysis and the scientists have to support it in due course.

8.     SPACE ROAR – (The silent scream): Space is a vacuum. There should not be any noise. But we observe there is noise in the space known as space roar. The entire universe is alive with sound. And space roar is not everyday sound. It is actually these odd radio signals we have detected throughout space. We use these waves for communications in T V, cell phones, radios. At times these waves are loud enough to down other signals. This causes nuisance to scientists who explore cosmos. So wherefrom this roar comes? Some think it is leftover radiation from early stars. Others believe that it is due to gasses swirling around galaxy clusters, or else galaxies themselves. The roaring universe is still an unsolved mystery.

9.     THE BIG CRUNCH (The end of the universe):  As on today the Big Bang theory popular. According to yhis theory the universe is expanding. Dark energy which is about 70 % of the universe is causing expansion, while the dark matter which is about 25% is likely to cause contraction. Since dark energy is much more the expansion is continuing. There is simultaneously another force, which is gravitational pull towards the center of the universe that may cause contraction when it dominates over expanding force. This may take many billions of years. As on today there is overall expansion in the universe, but there are isolated stretches in the universe that are causing localized contractions. Assume a blasted balloon. Each broken piece of balloon is going away from the other piece. If you take individual piece it is contracting towards its center. The same thing is going on in the universe also. Certain sets of galaxies are contracting towards their center, while the set is going away from the other sets of galaxies. No one knows exactly the future of the universe. It is a mystery.

10.                          EXOPLANETS: These are the planet outside solar system revolving around another star. Just about 30 years ago scientists have no idea about these exoplanets. Now from research scientists believe that every star must be having at least one exoplanet. They are expected to be of different sizes varying from gas giants bigger than Jupiter up to rocky planets like Earth or even smaller than Earth. They may be very hot enough to boil metal or may be so cool up to the freezing point. There time of revolution around their stars may be very fast and may be equal to few Earth days. They can orbit two stars at once. Some exoplanets don’t orbit any star but they wander through galaxy in darkness. There may be conditions suitable for life in some exoplanets. For example, scientists discovered the most number of Earth sized planets in the habitable zone of a single star TRAPPIST-1. This system of seven rocky worlds, all of them with the potential of water on their surface – is an exciting discovery in search of life on exoplanets. There are other life supporting exoplanets also revolving around other stars.

YOUR THOUGHT IS YOUR GOD

 

Your thought is your God : Your thought is directly linked to God. Whatever you think, the response from God is dependent on your thought. If you think in a wrong way the response is according to it. Negative (pessimistic) thoughts are dangerous. Always try to possess positive (optimistic) thoughts. These can improve your life span also.

     Ancient human was surprised at his own creation and the creation of the universe. With his limited knowledge he assumed that someone with great powers created the universe. But he was not fully aware of the connection of God with him. He thought that the creation is from supreme power and he called Him as God and that he has to pray God for any achievement in his life. He found response to his prayers. He tried to define God. By some natural process some people were born with great powers. He found lot of difference between him and such people with great powers. He assumed them as the incarnations of God. Such people were born at different places on Earth. Since the people were anxious to give some shape and name to God, they started worshipping these great people as Gods. So different regions formed different Gods. This resulted in different faiths and different religions. Yet some only prayed God without giveng Him shape or name.

     So different regions produced different shapes and names to their own Gods.There is difference in their faiths. Depending on their local practices their faiths also changed. So there is clash in the faiths of different regions. This produced even religious wars causing the destruction of humanity.

     Behind every religious prayer there is positive and optimistic thought. This is the basis of success of every religious prayer. This basic principle is totally ignored in individual religious prayers. If this is properly understood there won’t be religious clashes. I have accidentally understood this in my teenage. To know about it kindly read my post ‘secrets from experience’ in my blog ‘astroblog-msa.blogspot.com’

     So be careful while thinking. Your future and your life span is dependent on your present thought. By using good thoughts one can do good to others. Similarly with the help of evil thoughts one can do evil to others. This thought technology is well developed in India. But it ran parallel to religion depending on certain religious faiths. With good thoughts you are son of God. With evil thoughts you are son of Satan (evil power). It is for you to take sides. One way of thinking wll led to heaven, and the other will lead to hell.

     Not only in matter this evil is extended into living things also.  Even among the bacteria, there is good bacteria as well as bad bacteria. This good and bad is extended through animal world into the human life also. So one should be cautious not to come into contact with evil.

     To simplify things we can easily conclude that your thought is your God. Religion and prayer are byproducts or integral part of your thought only. If this is     We generally believe that the universe is the creation of God. If god is good the universe should be good. But there is sufficient bad in the universe. It gives the impression that the influence of Satan (evil) is also present in the creation. It also gives the impression that the entire evil cannot be removed in the universe. Good and bad are of opposite nature. This opposing nature is found even in matter. Atom has positive and negative charges in matter. Antimatter is of opposite nature. In place of positive charge of matter, antimatter has negative charge, and vice versa. When matter and antimatter meet there can be tremendous destruction of each other liberating highly powerful short gamma rays. Where they go nobody knows. This process is going on at the center of all galaxies. Since matter under creation is about 5% more than antimatter, the universe including all life in the universe that escaped destruction from antimatter is surviving as we see.

     If this is properly understood there can be happy life among the people of all religions without any clash.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

MYSTERIES OF EARTH

 MYSTERIES OF EARTH:

1)    Periodic reversal of Earth’s magnetic fields:

           This is due to the outer core’s flowing liquid iron. Due to this flow even the      magnetic poles of Earth get interchanged. This is believed to have happened early long back.                                                                                                                                              

2)    WATER: According to scientists the planet Earth was a dry  rock  when it was formed about 4.5 billion years ago. But due to the impact of big asteroids with ice water is added to the Earth gradually. Water covers about 71% of surface area of Earth whereas other planets in solar system almost have no water. Yet some believe that water was around Earth ever since its formation.                                            

3)    The living clouds:  Formed by hundreds of starlings, gliding in duos, this phenomenon is known as a murmuration. Birds usually sit and rest on it. This is not known how exactly they are alive.

4)    The mystery of the Bermuda triangle: It is located in North Atlantic ocean. It is between Bermuda Miami in Florida and San Juan in Puerto Rico. It covers about 500000 sq. miles. About 20 planes and 50 ships that crossed this area vanished without known reasoning. Extra localized magnetic pull of the Earth maybe responsible. There is a similar location in Mexico where planes crossing that area fell on to the ground. Such spots on Earth should be located and aero planes ships and other vehicles should not be allowed to cross those areas.

5)    The nystery of Moon formation : The chemical composition of Moon and  the Earth are the same, indicating that the Moon came out of Earth, and not due to impact from  any other body. But some suggest that in the early   days of formation of Earth it would have flung out molten rock into space due to some impact. Yet the mystery of the  Moon is not clearly known.

6)    Generation of oxygen on Earth: Microscopic creatures, cyanobacteria produced oxygen as waste and filled the skies with oxygen about 2.4 billion years ago. But rocks reveal oxygen levels from 3 billion years ago. Oxygen is a key factor in deciding the formation of life on Earth.

7)    Life on Earth: Has the life formed on Earth or delivered through meteorites from inter stellar space is not known yet. The most basic components such as amino acids and vitamins have been found on ice grains inside asteroids and in the most extreme environment on Earth. How these parts combined together to form life on Earth is still a mystery.

8)    Cambrian Explosion: After 4 billion years of Earth’s history the appearance of complex life in the Cambrian, marks a unique turning point. Suddenly there were animals with brains and blood, eyes and hearts, all evolving more quickly than any other planetary period. A jump in oxygen levels also took place just before this Cambrian explosion. Other factors such as the arms race between predator and prey can also explain the rise of the animals

9)    :  Earthquakes start when rocks underground and send seismic waves towards the surface, but we do not know when it occurs. When two powerful planets come together in exact conjunction they exert more pull on the layers of Earth directly below it. This pressure can lift the layers of Earth causing earthquake, especially if the layers are faulty. I have observed this phenomena practically.

10)                       EARTH’S CORE: Most part of the inner layers of Earth are unexplored. The reason is that the bottom layers of Earth are inhospitable. The layer below the crust, the mantle, is composed of mostly solid silicate. But the very heart of earth remains as a mystery.

DINOSAURS: These existed about 65 million years ago on Earth. They were the undisputed rulers of the prehistoric world. What caused these massive creatures end is a mystery. Some believe that a big asteroid struk the Earth causing  enormous dust covering Earth and obstructing sun light to reach Earth. Others believe the enormous volcanic activity that destroyed the massive animals. However the exact reason is not known yet.              

INTERSTELLAR TRAVELLERS

 INTERSTELLAR TRAVELLERS, ARE THEY ROBOTS?

     Since a long time we are witnessing flying saucers moving around earth. There are several stories such as they are taking humans and testing them and leaving them. Some flying saucers even entering into the sea and some appears to be          settled down at some secret places in Himalayas. There are several encounters with flying saucers especially in America and Russia. Most of the countries have witnessed flying saucers in their sky. There are some attempts by our vehicles to observe them closely, but they could not match the speed of flying saucers.

     Our scientists have recently sent a vehicle into space with all identifications        of location of Earth in space and the type of life here. As a result of this          probably a space vehicle of cylindrical shape passed over the sky. It is expected to come again for detailed observation.

     Now the problem arises whether advance living beings whatever may be the technology developed by them can travel such a long distance by any space vehicle?  As an alternative are these space vehicles are governed by robots               of very high intelligence developed by the superior beings of exoplanets? We can’t answer these questions immediately as we don’t have sufficient knowledge of them. We can only study the probabilities.

     Generally speaking no living being can travel such a long distance and for such a long time in space. But a superior highly intelligent robots prepared by superior intelligent living beings, which may be almost like a living being can travel any distance for any length of time as there is no life in them. So it may be concluded       that what we are seeing in interplanetary spaceships are only highly intelligent robots almost looking like living beings only. These robots can send information collected by them to the scientists of their exoplanets.        l     

REBIRTH ON EXOPLANET

 

CAN OUR SOUL BE REBORN ON ANOTHER EXOPLANET OF HABITABLE CONDITIONS?

     The answer appears to be yes due to the following reasons.

     About13.7 billion years ago the universe was born as a spot and expanded at a tremendous rate. The extent of the present universe cannot be measured. Also the life span of the universe cannot be estimated. Our solar system was formed about 9100 million years after big bang (5600 million years ago from now). Humans (Homo Sapiens) emerged after 13699.8 million years after big bang (195000 years ago). Modern world on earth started 13699.9 million years after big bang (10000 years ago from now).

     But it is not known how human life is formed and when soul enters human body. But soon after death the soul is separated from the body and the body becomes lifeless and is considered as dead. According to Indian saints the soul is capable of splitting itself into many souls forming its own children. These souls can be reborn so that the population goes on increasing when these souls enter a new physical body at the appropriate time.

     The souls are capable of moving instantly to any distance in the universe. Speed cannot be defined for a soul or the speed of a soul may be considered as infinite. Earth becomes uninhabitable in about one billion years later from now. It may not be possible for human beings to travel very long distances where habitable conditions exists on exoplanets using man made vehicles.  But the soul knows that it can travel to any place in the universe including exoplanets where habitable conditions exist. It can take any intelligent life form in the exoplanet depending on the nature of exoplanet and its star. Simply speaking what we cannot achieve as human beings, we can achieve as a soul.            

OUR LIFE SPAN

 Generally people think that our life span is fixed by God up to the exact year. But it seems to be not perfect due to the following reasons. Recent studies on life proved that those who practice positive thought with good nature live long probably more than 85 years. But those who possess negative thoughts and have bad nature die early. This is a clear indication that God has not fixed any particular span of life.  Instead it appears that God has given us certain span of life to all human beings probably 120 years. It is for us to live up to anywhere within that period by regulating our thoughts.

     All cannot understand this positive thought and follow it. For this purpose a kind of faith is needed. To create this faith some event is needed. The event can be incarnation of God as human being. The result of this incarnation is religion. God has taken many incarnations and accordingly many religions are formed. All these religions carry positive thought that leads man towards good and enhances the individual life span.

     Unfortunately people have not understood the basic principle (positive thought) behind each religion. This resulted in religious clashes as devotees of each religion think that their own religion is great. If the basic principle of any religion (positive thought) is properly understood there won’t be religious clashes.

      Good (God) and bad (Satan), two great forces of the spiritual world are not only existing in thought form, but they are also existing in material form besides human form. There are good planets and good stars, also there are bad planets and bad stars. Whatever that reduces life span is considered as bad. Alcohol drinks are extremely bad. Even a peg per day is not considered as good. Hence one should be very careful while taking similar things.

     Our life is very sensitive and we can easily understand what is good and what is bad. Follow good and enhance your life span.                                                                  

DASHAVATARAS

 DASHAVATARAS (TEN INCARNATIONS) OF LORD VISHNU

     One should know about some important features of other religions too at least for the sake of knowledge and to respect and retain the dignity of other religions too. With this aspect this article is written for the sake of cooperation between all religions. In fact the number of avataras (incarnations of lord Vishnu are 24. Out of them 10 avataras are more significant. And hence they are put together are called dashavataras.)

     I will discuss below the names , period and purpose of all the ten avatars. Since the periods are mentioned in terms of yugas, I will briefly point out the years of yugas based on Manu maharshi’s  Samhita. The two zodiacs coincided in the year 285 A D. The first point  of sign Aries of the movable zodiac of sayana system and the first point of constellation Aries coincided in the year 285 A D. Accordingly the yugas are calculated below. Ascending yugas are for a total period of 12000 years  and descending yugas are  12000 years for a total  period of 24000 years.  Or sum of the two sets of yugas is 24000 years according to some Indian saints. The present backward movement of the intersection point of the equator with the  ecliptic (Vernal equinox or first point of sign Aries of the movable zodiac) is about 50.3 “ per year and accordingly it will take about 26000 years for complete rotation of 360 degrees. Since its average speed is not known the correct period of roation cannot be measured till one complete rotation. Assumption of 24000 years by the Indian saints without any support of technology is a great mystery. According to Indian saints human civilization and intelligence will go on increasing when the first  point of Libra (Autu0mnal equinox) of movable zodiac ascends towards first point of Aries constellation which is the top most point of Satya Yuga and decreases with some destructions as we notice some lost underground civilizations. The following are the Yugas.

Ascending Satya Yuga: From 16515 B C to 11716 B C

Descending Satya Yuga: From 11715 B C to 6916 B C

Descending Treta Yuga: From 6915 B C to 3316 B C

Descending Dwapara Yuga: From 3315 B C to 916 B C

Descending Kali Yuga: 915 B C to 285 A D

Ascending Kali Yuga: 286 A D to 1485 A D

Ascending Dwapara Yuga: 1486 A D to 3885 A D

1921 A D = 1921 – 1485 = 436 of Dwapara Yuga.

     I discuss below the details of Dashavataras.

1.     Matsya  (The fish incarnation): In the form of fish lord  Vishnu informs the king Vaivasvata Manu of the coming destruction of the world by means of fires and floods and directs manu to collect “all creatures of the world” and keep them safe on a board built by the gods. When the deluge (pralaya) comes, Vishnu appears as a great fish with a horn, to which Manu ties the boat, which leads them into safety. (Similar instance is in the Bible also). This took place in Satya yuga.                                                                                                              

2.     Kurma (The giant Tortoise incarnation): When devas and asuras were churning the ocean of milk in order to get amrita, the nectar of immortality, the mount Mandara they were using as the churning staff started to sink and Vishnu took the form of a tortoise to bear the weight of the mountain. This happened in Satya yuga.

3.     Varaha (The giant boar incarnation): In this form Vishnu defeated the demon Hiranyaksha and saved the Earth  from his custody. This happened in Satya yuga.

4.     Narasimha (The half man/ half lion incarnation): In this avatar Vishnu killed Hiranyakashipu, a demon who was against religious humans and was gifted         by Brahma not to be killed by any man. Hence Vishnu took the form of half man/ half lion to kill him. This took place in Satya yuga.             

5.     Vamana (The dwarf incarnation): Bali with devotion and penance defeated Indra and humbled other deities who appealed to Vishnu for protection. Vishnu descended as boy vamana. During yajna, Vamana approached King and Bali promised him for whatever he asked for. Vamana asked for three paces of land and Bali agreed. Then the dwarf changed his size to a giant                                   trivikrama form, covering the earthly realm and with the second he covered the heavenly realm. He took the third stride for the nether world. Realising               Vamana as Vishnu, Bali offered his head as the third place. Vishnu agreed and did so and granted him immortality and rulership of patala. This happened in Treta yuga.

6.     Parashurama (The warrior with an axe incarnation): He was granted as boon an axe after a penance to Shiva. When the king Kartavirya Arjuna destroyed the asram of his father, Jamadagni, and took the cow Kamadenu by force, Parashurama killed the king at his palace. In revenge the sons  of the king killed Jamadagni. In revenge Parashurama started killing shkatriyas until his grandfather, rushi Rucheeka appeared and stopped him. Parashuama is  a chiranjeevi (immortal) and is believed to be alive today in penance at Mahendragiri. he seems to be born in Treta  Yuga.

While in exile from his own kingdom, with his brother Laxmana, his wife Sita was abducted  by demon king of Lanka, Ravana. He travelled to Lanka killed Ravana and saved Sita. Rama and Sita returned home and were crowned. Depending on the planets positions given in Ramayana at the time of Rama’s birth and using planetary software, it is decided that Rama was born in the year 5114 B C which in turn falls in Treat Yuga.

8.     Krishna (sometimes at  9 or 0) or Balarama :

Krishna was the eighth son of Devaki and Vasudeva and the foster son of Yashoda amd Nanda. Krishna is a frequently worshipped deity in Hinduism.

!0.       Kalki : Kalki is described as the final incarnation of Vishnu, who appears at the end of each Kali Yuga. He appears only when chaos, evil and persecution prevails, dharma vanished. Some believe that the Sri Vekatesvara Swamy at Tirupati is Kalki avatar of Vishnu. During this period of Kalki,  ruling of Kings ended and democracy prevailed by the hidden Kalki power.  Kalki avatar took place in Kali Yuga.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

CHRISTIANITY VS HINDUISM

 

INTERRELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RELIGIONS

     God is a common word in every religion. But each religion has its own name depending on their experience and faith Yet some believe that there is something common between all religions as the God is one and the same. Several Indian saints have understood this fact very well. Books written by them clearly indicate this fact.

     Writing this post is an attempt to bring out this interrelationship between religions mainly between Christianity and Hinduism.

1) Christianity: A Hindu seeing the Jesus is an indication that all Gods of      different religion in any form          are the same. Simply speaking God has no form. He appears in whatever form we want to see him. Ramadas wanted to see Rama and he achieved it as he imagined. Any Christian can also see Rama theoretically speaking.          

1) Hinduism: Fervently I imposed Christ to guide me in divining the true meaning of his words, many of which have been grievously misunderstood for twenty centuries.------One night I beheld the radiant form of the blessed  lord Jesus.--------His eyes were eternally wondrous; as I gazed -----I intuitively understood the wisdom conveyed.---- After a few        moments he uttered beautiful words, so personal in their nature that I keep them in my heart. (By Paramahansa Yogananda in his book ‘Autobiography of a Yogi’).                                                                                      
2) Christianity: Among Christian mystics who have been observed in sabikalpa Samadhi may be mentioned St. Teresa of Avila, whose body would become so immovably fixed that the astonished nuns in the convent were unable to alter her position or to rouse to outward consciousness.

2) Hinduism: The Hindu scriptures extol the yogic science because it is employable by mankind in general. The mystery of breathe, it is true, has occasionally been solved without the use of formal yoga techniques, as in the case of non-Hindu mystics who possessed transcendent powers of devotion to the Lord. Such Christian, Muslim and other saints have indeed been

3) Christianity: “The devil ----- was murdered from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own; for he is a  liar, and the father of  it.” (Jonn 8:44).

“The devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” (1 John 3:8)

3) Hinduism: Satan in Christianity is equal to Maya in Hinduism according to some Hindu saints. Maya indicates the principle of relativity, contrast, duality, inversion, oppositional states. The ego principle  ‘ahankara’ is the root cause of dualism of the seeming separation between the man and his Creator. Ahankara brings human beings under the sway of maya (cosmic illusion) by which the subject  (ego) falsely appears as object; the creature, imagine themselves to be creators.

4) Christianity: Astrology:- It is not supported by the Bible and some of the  Christians don’t follow astrology. If astrology is true, life of the persons born to two different set of parents almost at the same place and same time should tally. This fact was examined and it is found to be true in most of the cases. This fact scientifically tallied and well educated and scientific minded Christians started studying astrology. In this regard Allan Leo. Sephareal, Raphael and Ellwyn George are few important astrologers who developed astrology. Earth rotates around its axis in one day to cover 360 degrees, and revolves around Sun in one year to cover 360 degrees. This fact one day = one year is the basis of western astrology.                      

4) Hinduism:  Astrology is an integral part of Hinduism. They fully believe that their lives are connected to the movement of planets in the sky.  They also believe that the position of planets at the time of their birth depend on their karma in the previous birth. The most important method of astrology followed in Hinduism is Vimsottari dasa system followed by Ashtakavarga system. Latest famous astrologers of Hinduism are B V Raman and Krishnamurthy.  

5) Christianity : Rebirth:-  Present Christians don’t believe in rebirth as it is not supported by the Bible. The early Christian church accepted the doctrine of reincarnation, which was expounded by the Gnostics and by numerous church fathers, including clement Alexandria, the celebrated origin (both 3^rd century), and st. Jerome (5^th century). The doctrine was first declared a heresy in A D 553 by the second council of Constantinople. But this truth is lost gradually in Christianity.

5) Hinduism: Hinduism fully believes in reincarnation as a result of karma of       past birth. And in each birth soul gains find ways to be closer to God.  Yet it takes about 2000 years to reach the next stage of astral world, from which the soul reaches causal world after about 2000  years and then reaches God after about                        2000 years in causal world and the becomes integral part of God. In some special cases if the soul gains knowledge by devotion it can reach God early. Certain practical studies proved that rebirth is true. There seems to be different views by different authours. 

6) Christianity: “Let there be light! And there was light.” (Genesis 1:3) ---- “His eyes were as a flame of fire. And His countenance was as the Sun shineth in his strength.” (Revelation1:14 to 16.) ---- “If therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. (Mathews 6:22) 

6) Hinduism: “Let there be light! And there was light.” (Genesis 1:3) ---- “His eyes were as a flame of fire. And His countenance was as the Sun shineth in his strength.” (Revelation1:14 to 16.) ---- “If therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. (Mathews 6:22) 

7) Christianity  ‘In him was life; and the life was the light of men.’ ----“And light shineth in darkness; and darkness comprehended it not.’ ---‘He came unto his own, and his own received him not.’ John1:4,5,11.

7) Hinduism: Parambrahma (Spirit or God) is everything, complete without beginning or end. It is one In

dividual Being. --- In it (Parambrahma) is the origin of all knowledge and love, the root of all power and Joy.(From the book Holy Science).

8) Christianity: Adam and Eve are the first human beings created by God.

8) Hinduism: Adam and Eve story of Hindus is recounted in the hoary purana, Srimad Bhagavata. The first man and woman (beings in physical form) are called Swayambhuva Manu (man born of the creator and his wife Satarupa.

9) Christianity: ‘Amen’ is the most used word in Christianity

9) Hinduism: The corresponding word in Hinduism is ‘Om’.

10) Christianity: “Before the world was created, the Word already existed; he was with God, and he was the same as God. From the very beginning the word was with God. Through him God made all things; not one thing in all creation was made without him.” (Bible, the New Testament the book ‘JOHN’ Chapter 1, verses 1 to 3.)

These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God.(Revelation 3:14)

10) Hinduism:  “What is this world after all? It is nothing but materialization of thought forms of God.” ----- “Thought is the primal force at the origin and back of all creation; the genesis of the entire phenomenal creation given as a single thought that arose in the Cosmic Mind.”  From the book ‘THOUGHT POWER’ by Sri swami Sivananda)

 

Parambrahma causes creation, inert Nature (Prakriti), to emerge. From Aum (Pranava, the Word, the manifestation of the Omnipotent force), come Kala, Time; Desa, Space; and Anu, the Atom (the vibratory structure of creation)

(from the Holy Science by Gnanavatar Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri)..

          

             

                          

                                                                                                            

STELLAR WARS

STELLAR WARS

  Since a long time we have witnessed the visit of flying saucers around our planet earth. They are round in shape. But we could not investigate them. We could only assume that some intelligent beings visited our planet from other stellar world (from a planet of other superior star where intelligent life is possible). But recently we have seen a peculiar object of long cylindrical shape moving at tremendous speed in space. It was first considered as a space object. But on its way it suddenly changed its direction. This resulted in suspicion that it is an interstellar spaceship of other intelligent beings.

     We have already sent signals into space indicating our location in space. Other intelligent beings who can catch these signals may try to investigate in to our location. Stephen Hawking is of the opinion that it may result in danger to earth as there are many useful elements on earth such as water. These interstellar                                                                     travelers may like to construct their own colonies on earth. If they are not friendly to humans, it may result in clashes. Since there are already two varieties of space travelers, there may be also clashes between them for the occupation of land or sea on earth.

     Already there are rumours that flying saucers are occupying  Bermuda triangle ocean and are not allowing ships or aeroplanes over that area. It is not clear whether it is local extra gravitational pull or power of hidden flying saucers inside that is causing ships sink into the ocean. It is also suspected that flying saucers also occupied some hidden areas in Himalayas where humans cannot reach. There is no definite proof of the same.

     If different stellar beings attempt to occupy earth it may be clash between them and between human beings and other intelligent beings from outer space. Simply speaking it is a stellar war on earth.
