Photo: {{Common Questions on Hinduism/Meditation/Brahman }}

Evrim ServantofBrahman asked via message,

Dear sir or madam, I am Evrim 19 years old, and born and grown up in the Netherlands [ origin I am Turkish ]. Last days I'm investigating on Hinduism, it seems me very logical and rational [ especially the scientific subjects in Veda’s ]. But I don't know much about Hinduism and I have yet some questions in my mind, really it will be good if u can help me. If I may ask dear sir or madam:

- Will bring meditation [ Bhakti Yoga ] closer to [God] Brahman? How can I become a saint for closer to Brahman? And which times can I meditate? Can I do when I want? 

- Are Veda’s the words of [God] Brahman? 

- Can we say that [writher of the Veda’s ] Srila Vyasadeva was the prophet of [God] Brahman? Or can we say that Rishis are prophets of Brahman? 

- What is the view of Hinduism about fighting against the ego [ lust, anger etc ] , for to become a good human? If it is required for fighting against ego, it is possible on this that I can closer to Brahman with taking away from [ lust, anger etc] and fighting against my ego? 

- What is the concept of sin in hinduism an act against dharma - moral order- ? Can be the good morality make the man closer to Brahman? If so, what are the good deeds and righteousness?

- How is the Human Being in the Eye of the Hinduism? Or what is the perspective of Hinduism on Humanity or human nature?

- How important is the role of the women in Hinduism? Is it true that menstruate women is " impure " and it is not allowed that she is with her family during her menstruate period? Is there something with this in Veda's? 

Again really it will be good if u can help me, forgive me if I did bother u.

Evrim

Thank you Evrim for your keen interest in Hinduism, Hinduism is based on Logic it ask seeker to ask question,
Upanishads says "Ask Ask Ask untill you attain the truth".
We will go thru your queries one by one,

Query: - Will bring meditation [ Bhakti Yoga ] closer to [God] Brahman? How can I become a saint for closer to Brahman? And which times can I meditate? Can I do when I want? 

Answer : First understand what is Meditation? one may think that it is prayer but it is not Meditation means
 awareness. Whatever you do with awareness is meditation. Meditation is a means of transforming the mind.
The meditation I am talking about is not a meditation on something: rather, it is a state of meditation. 
So this is what I mean when I am talking to you about meditation as a state. Meditation does not mean
 remembering someone. Meditation means to drop everything which is in one’s memory and to come to a state 
where only consciousness remains, where only awareness remains.
It is state of deep peace that occurs when the mind is calm and silent. 
Now What is Bhakti Yog? There are four main paths of Yoga - Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Raja Yoga and Gyana Yoga
. Each is suited to a different temperament or approach to life. All the paths lead ultimately to the same 
destination - to union with Brahman or God - and the lessons of each of them need to be integrated if true 
wisdom is to be attained.
Bhakti Yoga is pure spiritual devotion, of love for God which is Love. The Deity is the beloved and the 
devotee is the lover. In Bhakti yoga, everything is but a manifestation of the divine and all else is 
meaningless, including the Ego. When the Bhakta is blessed by divine grace he feels an undivided union and
 non-dual consciousness prevails. Bhakti Yoga is regarded as the most direct method to merge in cosmic 
consciousness.

Bhakti yoga is based on the doctrine "Love is God and God is Love". The bhakta experiences separation and 
longs to meet or even just glimpse his beloved. Nothing else attracts him, nothing else holds his attention,
 all else is meaningless. Food, sex, sleep, attachments, responsibilities - all are no longer important 
in bhakti yoga.

THE MAIN YOGA TRADITIONS
 Hatha Yoga 
 Krya Yoga 
 Kundalini Yoga (Laya Yoga) 
 Mantra Yoga 
 Raja Yoga 
 Swara Yoga 
 Yantra Yoga

Do not mingle up Yog and Meditation:
Yoga is a spiritual, mental and physical discipline, which helps attain permanent peace. But over the years, yoga is associated with physical fitness. 
where as Meditation is a part of yoga, which should ideally be followed after yoga asanas. Meditative techniques take you through energising the body and intellect. Mediation also improves breathing and the mind, and eventually self-realisation.
As defined by the sage Patanjali, Yoga is 'Chitta Vriti Nirodhah', promoting the unison of body and mind and envisages wellness of human beings both physical, mental and spiritual. 

The eight steps of yoga are yama, niyama, aasana, pranayama, pratyahar, dhyana, dharana and samadhi. Yoga is also said to be a way of life and when practised gives all-round benefits. 

Meditation is a part of yoga, which deals with mental relaxation and concentration. Here, attention is focused on thoughts and breath. Being aware of breathing automatically controls the thought process and thus relaxes mind completely. 

In Hinduism, the goal of meditation is to realize that one's personal identity is a barrier to the truth that the real self is part of the divine godhead, which is ultimate reality.
Mind and other senses are barrier to identify the true self. Meditation is the key to identify the true self.
Meditation is designed to bypass the mind and other senses, using special breathing techniques.
 Moreover in simple words Meditation let you close to Brahman/God but let me remind you God is not what so many westerners think of,
 The ultimate goal is samadhi with no cognition, or absorption into a state of pure consciousness through
 disengaging the mind and a loss of self-awareness and subject-object awareness: 
"The mind which for so long stood between us and our true nature has been overcome."
 One of the most common ways this is done is through various forms of yoga, including the popular
 hatha yoga. "Though their means may differ, all yogic paths seek to transcend duality in union"
 so that one's "mistaken belief in himself as a separate, unique individual apart from God will be overcome."
 Exhaling the breath is "the surrender of our ego" and the move from attachment to "non-attachment.

How can I become a Saint?
In Hinduism the saint is one who acheieved the state where he/she have controlled all his/her senses.
A religious teacher, who have attained Truth.
A spiritual leador who shows the right path to people.
 
As I said earlier God is not what the most of westerners think of, Brahman is ultimate truth. The true self
within us. The ultimate creator , controller and destroyer.
One can become saint after acheiving the truth.

The best time for meditation is in Brahmamuhurt. morning period from 3.30 a.m. to 5.30 a.m. It is very favourable for meditation. The mind is quite refreshed after good sleep. It is quite calm and serene. There is the preponderance of Sattva or purity in the mind at this time. In the atmosphere also, Sattva predominates at this period.
The mind is like a blank sheet of paper or a clean tablet and comparatively free from worldly Samskaras or impressions at this period. Raga-Dvesha currents have not yet deeply entered the mind. The mind can be moulded very easily at this period in any way you like. You can charge the mind now easily with divine thoughts.

Query: - Are Veda’s the words of [God] Brahman? 

Answer: Without any Doubt Vedas are the words of God/Brahman itself. 
The Srutis are called the Vedas, or the Amnaya. Vedas received  through revelation.
 These are direct intuitional revelations and are held to be Apaurusheya or entirely superhuman,
 without any author in particular. The Veda is the glorious pride of  the whole world!

The term Veda comes from the root 'Vid', to know. The word Veda means knowledge. When it is applied to 
scripture, it signifies a book of knowledge. The Vedas are the foundational scriptures. 
 The Veda is the storehouse of Indian wisdom and is a memorable glory which man can never forget till 
eternity.

The Vedas are the eternal truths revealed by God to the great ancient Rishis of India. The word Rishi
 means a Seer, from dris, to see. He is the Mantra-Drashta, seer of Mantra or thought. The thought was not
 his own. The Rishis saw the truths or heard them. Therefore, the Vedas are what are heard (Sruti). 
The Rishi did not write. He did not create it out of his mind. He was the seer of thought which existed 
already. He was only the spiritual discoverer of the thought. He is not the inventor of the Veda.
The Vedas represent the spiritual experiences of the Rishis of yore. The Rishi is only a medium or an
 agent to transmit to people the intuitional experiences which he received. The truths of the Vedas are
 revelations. All the other religions of the world claim their authority as being delivered by special
 messengers of God to certain persons, but the Vedas do not owe their authority to any one. They are
 themselves the authority as they are eternal, as they are the Knowledge of the Lord.

Lord Brahma, the Creator, imparted the divine knowledge to the Rishis or Seers. The Rishis disseminated 
the knowledge. The Vedic Rishis were great realised persons who had direct intuitive perception of 
Brahman or the Truth. They were inspired writers. They built a simple, grand and perfect system of
 religion and philosophy from which the founders and teachers of all other religions have drawn their 
inspiration.

The Vedas are the oldest books in the library of man. The truths contained in all religions are derived 
from the Vedas and are ultimately traceable to the Vedas. The Vedas are the fountain-head of religion.
 The Vedas are the ultimate source to which all religious knowledge can be traced. Religion is of divine
 origin. It was revealed by God to man in the earliest times. It is embodied in the Vedas.

The Vedas are eternal. They are without beginning and end. An ignorant man, may say how a book can be 
without beginning or end. By the Vedas, no books are meant. Vedas came out of the breath of the Lord. 
They are not the composition of any human mind. They were never written, never created. They are eternal 
and impersonal. The date of the Vedas has never been fixed. It can never be fixed. Vedas are eternal 
spiritual truths. Vedas are an embodiment of divine knowledge. The books may be destroyed, but the 
knowledge cannot be destroyed. Knowledge is eternal. In that sense, the Vedas are eternal.

Query: - Can we say that [writher of the Veda’s ] Srila Vyasadeva was the prophet of [God] Brahman? 
Or can we say that Rishis are prophets of Brahman? 

Answer: First of all VedVyas is not the writer of Vedas, as I said earlier noone is writer of Vedas.
They are eternal. VedaVyas classified Vedas into four parts.
Prophet is a being who have contacted to divine, in this way not only Vedvyas but the saints/Rishi who have
achieved the truth are Prophets.

Query: - What is the view of Hinduism about fighting against the ego [ lust, anger etc ] , for to become 
a good human? If it is required for fighting against ego, it is possible on this that I can closer to 
Brahman with taking away from [ lust, anger etc] and fighting against my ego? 

Answer: The Ego can be defined most accurately as your sense of self. The notion of "I" or "Me". 
The idea that there is a "you" that is distinct and separate from everything else. The majority of people
 in the world live with a sense of self, with an ego, however that doesn't validate it in any sense. 
Hinduism  fervently assert that there is no separately existing self and that those who continue to believe 
that there is will only continue to experience suffering. So how can we say that the Self does not exist?
 How can there be no ego and what would happen if one eliminated it?

The self does not exist for many reasons. Everything is interconnected and interdependent. 
For example, a Ship is made of many different things such as wood, metal, notion..... The wood that made
 that ship came from a tree, which came from the dirt in the ground that the Sun helped nourish and grow.
 Nothing can exist on its own; it is all connected in some way or another. The Ship does not exist as a
 separate and distinct entity, it is made up of many other things and therefore cannot exist independently
 from the tree or the grass or the dirt.
ego (aham) means considering oneself to be distinct from others and God due to identification with the
 physical body and impressions (sanskārs) in various centres of the subtle body. In short, ego is 
leading our life as per the thinking that our existence is limited to our five senses, mind and intellect,
 and identifying ourselves with them to various degrees. 
depending on the level of our ego, we identify with the God-principle within us, i.e. the Soul to varying degrees. If our ego is high, we identify less with the Soul or the God-principle within us.
Without detaching ego one cannot attain Brahman.

Query: - What is the concept of sin in hinduism an act against dharma - moral order- ? Can be the good 
morality make the man closer to Brahman? If so, what are the good deeds and righteousness?

Answer: Hinduism does not believe that human beings suffer from any original sin or inherent fault in their
 nature, which must be corrected by an external influence or special grace. On the contrary, Sanatana Dharma
 teaches that our original nature is pure goodness, Being-Consciousness-Bliss, and that we are all 
inherently one with God. The Hindu concept of sin is one of uncleanliness, the accumulation of something 
extraneous that must be removed for us to return to our inherent purity. For example, the body naturally
 gets dirty everyday and one has to clean it. Such dirt is not a sin, though it is impure, if not sinful, not to keep oneself clean. There are similar emotional and mental impurities that we must cleanse ourselves from.
The Hindu view of sin is free of the ideas of guilt, fear and punishment. From its point of view the 
greatest sin is to call a person a sinner. There is not and never will be such an entity as a sinner. 
The same Divine Self exists in all beings who, through ignorance alone, commit various wrong actions.
 To call a person a sinner is to deny their Divine essence and make them identify themselves with the sin,
 which reinforces its hold on them. Whatever we think that we become. If we think that we are fallen,
 wretched, low sinners, that we become. If we think that we are near to God, we become near to God. We should not debase 
ourselves with thoughts that are not great. There are no sinners, though there are wrong actions.
 We should not condemn a person as a sinner but should try to understand what is right action. Right action
 is acting with respect for the sacred nature of all beings.
Dharma itself is righteousness, individual’s natural, selfless duty, a responsibility towards self, 
parents, family, 
society, community, environment, and humanity. There is no equivalent English translation for 
the Ancient Sanskrit word ‘Dharma’. Dharma is pronounced as Dh-r-m. 
Dharma is divine in origin and deals with universal natural principles. The connotations are 
spiritual and metaphysical. Mahabharata (12-31-7) described Dharma as follows: 

“That conduct which sustains, protects, harmonizes all human beings including family, society, 
nation, nature, and the cosmos”.

While visiting Jakarta, Indonesia, I saw many English sign-boards stating “Dharmo-Vanita”. I 
asked a taxi driver the meaning, and the driver replied: “Dharma means to help others, and 
Vanita means women. It is a sign-board of a government department that deals with helping 
women, you may call it women’s welfare!” Furthermore I asked him: “What is your religion?” He 
replied “Muslim”. According to this Indonesian Muslim taxi driver his religion is Muslim, but, to 
him, Dharma means the duty to help others.

 
An individual who goes out of the way to help others is said to have undertaken Dharma. 
Kanad Rishi in Vaisesika Darsan describes Dharma as follows: 
“Dharma is that righteous conduct which elevates a human being to a higher level of interaction; 
thereby, one attains selflessness and is free from selfishness.” 

Dharma is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Dharana,’ the root word, Dhr. ‘Dharana’, means ‘to 
uphold,’ or to sustain. One who upholds these destined natural duties is said to have undertaken 
Dharma. For example, the Dharma of the sun is to shine. The Dharma of the earth is to rotate, 
and a learned person should guide others in the righteous direction.
 
The great lawgiver sage, Manu, described ten characteristics of Dharma as follows: 
“The ten characteristics of a person who upholds Dharma are contentment, forgiveness, 
maintenance of purity, thought, action, emotional, and sensual discipline, iratelessness, 
truthfulness, abstinence from stealing, acquisition of knowledge, and wisdom.
” 
The tenth Sikh Guru Sri Govind Singh in Ugradanti Chhake Chhand Vani under the description of 
“Chandi Ki Var” stated: 
“Sakala jagata me khalsa pantha gaje, 
Jage dharam hindu sakal bhanda bhaje” 
Chhake Chhanda 39

“Let Khalsa Pantha be victorious all over the world to awaken Hindu Dharma, so all falsehood or 
ignorance may be removed.” 

Sikh Guru Sri Govind Singh further stated in Ugradani Saveya Chhake Chhanda (40): 
“Sakala jaga me khalsa pantha gaje, 
Jage dharam Hinduka turk dunde bhaje”  2

Ugradanti Saveya Chhake Chhanda Chhaka 1 line 40. 

The use of the word “Hinduka” in the above Chhand by Guru Sri Govind Singh reveals that the 
word Hinduka was in vogue at that time. 
In essence Dharma means “natural righteous, conducts, and duties that help one to rise 
higher to become a better person.” 

Donot mingle Dharma and religion:
Religion is an artificial and human created path which helps one to lead a noble life and bring one closer to 
God. In English, religion is the closest word that may be substituted for “Dharma”. For ordinary purposes 
the term Dharma may be interchangeable with religion. 
Humans designed “Religion”; whereas, Dharma represents natural principles, duties, and responsibilities.

Query: - How is the Human Being in the Eye of the Hinduism? Or what is the perspective of Hinduism on 
Humanity or human nature?

Answer: All Human are same according to Hinduism. All are manifestation of same divine.
When Hinduism say about Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam that means whole world is my family.
As I said earlier that Hinduism regard Human are not sinner but the divergence of Brahman.
the Upanishads, perceived the individual self or "atman" as the immortal pure essence of each being. All human beings are
 positioned in the all-embracing "Brahman" or the Absolute, frequently linked with the cosmic dimensions
 of the universe.

 Ultimately, all human beings are Divine and each being has the power of awareness, sacrifice, and adherence
 to the divine order. Thereby, Hindus, having the responsibility to actively represent their respective and
 community, and family, consciously attempt to uphold the purity of their eternal atman.

Query: - How important is the role of the women in Hinduism? Is it true that menstruate women is " impure " 
and it is not allowed that she is with her family during her menstruate period? Is there something with
 this in Veda's? 

Answer: According to Manu Smirti 

9.96. "Man and Woman are incomplete without each other. Hence the most ordinary religious duty would demand participation of both."

4.180. "A wise man should not indulge in fights and arguments with his family members including mother, daughter and wife."

In Hinduism the first menstruation of a young girl is a cause for celebration, with special presents given.
 However in Indian culture menstrual blood has generally been considered as impure.

It is part of Culture not the Dharma. Swami Chinmayananda explained this practice in physiological, hormonal
 and emotional terms. Earlier the traditional role of a woman in the house involved arduous and physically 
demanding tasks such as carrying heavy pots of water, grinding of wheat, daals, rice and masalas, farming
 duties and so on. During periods women suffer in varying degrees from discomfort to cramps and headaches 
to PMS syndrome which includes depression, anger and mood swings.

Thus they were prescribed rest during the three days of menstruation. However the only way this could 
actually be enforced was to put a religious taboo on it and exempt women from all household tasks. In fact 
in orthodox homes in India men, who would otherwise not lift a finger to help at home, actually do the
 cooking!

within our body is contained five Pranas. Prana can mean breath, energy, life, air, respiration or vitality
 – for now, we will just take its meaning as “energy.” There are five Pranas in the body:  prana, which 
takes things in; apana, which takes things out; samana, which assimilates; vyana, which circulates and 
distributes; and udana, which expresses, especially in speech. Any obstruction to the free flow of any of
 these pranas causes imbalance and disease (e.g. obstruction to samana would appear to be a metabolic 
disorder, or perhaps a learning disorder). During puja and homa, a release of “pent up” Prana happens. 
Pranayama, or the practice by which Prana is controlled (yama), is also a means by which the movement of
 all five Pranas (or by which a single one of the five, depending on the needs of the practitioner) can be
 brought to balance. (More on the five pranas can be found in an easily accessible and brief Vedantic text, 
Tattva Bodha, though they are mentioned in a variety of other shastras as well.)

It is believed that menstruation is a time in which apana in the body is naturally predominant, and for 
good reason. It allows for the outward flow of impure physical elements (e.g. uterine tissue), as well as 
for repressed emotions (e.g. mood swings during PMS). Since puja etc. are meant to balance the Prana-s, 
it is not necessarily the best thing for one to engage in religious practices during menstruation when 
the body naturally needs apana to be dominant. (Here it is worth noting that by most accounts, mental
 japa and manas puja are usually considered to be allowed during menstruation. This may vary by sampradaya
 or your own personal belief as it is part of culture not the Dharma)

But the sad part is, in some places it made up as harsh rule. This should be avoided, in days of sanitation and cleaniness.

If any other query remains in your mind you can ask via message.
Shiva Bless...Query: - Will bring meditation [ Bhakti Yoga ] closer to [God] Brahman? How can I become a saint for closer to Brahman? And which times can I meditate? Can I do when I want? 

Answer : First understand what is Meditation? one may think that it is prayer but it is not Meditation means

separate and distinct entity, it is made up of many other things and therefore cannot exist independently
from the tree or the grass or the dirt.
ego (aham) means considering oneself to be distinct from others and God due to identification with the
physical body and impressions (sanskārs) in various centres of the subtle body. In short, ego is 
leading our life as per the thinking that our existence is limited to our five senses, mind and intellect,
and identifying ourselves with them to various degrees. 
depending on the level of our ego, we identify with the God-principle within us, i.e. the Soul to varying degrees. If our ego is high, we identify less with the Soul or the God-principle within us.
Without detaching ego one cannot attain Brahman.

Query: - What is the concept of sin in hinduism an act against dharma - moral order- ? Can be the good 
morality make the man closer to Brahman? If so, what are the good deeds and righteousness?

Answer: Hinduism does not believe that human beings suffer from any original sin or inherent fault in their
nature, which must be corrected by an external influence or special grace. On the contrary, Sanatana Dharma
teaches that our original nature is pure goodness, Being-Consciousness-Bliss, and that we are all 
inherently one with God. The Hindu concept of sin is one of uncleanliness, the accumulation of something 
extraneous that must be removed for us to return to our inherent purity. For example, the body naturally
gets dirty everyday and one has to clean it. Such dirt is not a sin, though it is impure, if not sinful, not to keep oneself clean. There are similar emotional and mental impurities that we must cleanse ourselves from.
The Hindu view of sin is free of the ideas of guilt, fear and punishment. From its point of view the 
greatest sin is to call a person a sinner. There is not and never will be such an entity as a sinner. 
The same Divine Self exists in all beings who, through ignorance alone, commit various wrong actions.
To call a person a sinner is to deny their Divine essence and make them identify themselves with the sin,
which reinforces its hold on them. Whatever we think that we become. If we think that we are fallen,
wretched, low sinners, that we become. If we think that we are near to God, we become near to God. We should not debase 
ourselves with thoughts that are not great. There are no sinners, though there are wrong actions.
We should not condemn a person as a sinner but should try to understand what is right action. Right action
is acting with respect for the sacred nature of all beings.
Dharma itself is righteousness, individual’s natural, selfless duty, a responsibility towards self, 
parents, family, 
society, community, environment, and humanity. There is no equivalent English translation for 
the Ancient Sanskrit word ‘Dharma’. Dharma is pronounced as Dh-r-m. 
Dharma is divine in origin and deals with universal natural principles. The connotations are 
spiritual and metaphysical. Mahabharata (12-31-7) described Dharma as follows: 

“That conduct which sustains, protects, harmonizes all human beings including family, society, 
nation, nature, and the cosmos”.

While visiting Jakarta, Indonesia, I saw many English sign-boards stating “Dharmo-Vanita”. I 
asked a taxi driver the meaning, and the driver replied: “Dharma means to help others, and 
Vanita means women. It is a sign-board of a government department that deals with helping 
women, you may call it women’s welfare!” Furthermore I asked him: “What is your religion?” He 
replied “Muslim”. According to this Indonesian Muslim taxi driver his religion is Muslim, but, to 
him, Dharma means the duty to help others.


An individual who goes out of the way to help others is said to have undertaken Dharma. 
Kanad Rishi in Vaisesika Darsan describes Dharma as follows: 
“Dharma is that righteous conduct which elevates a human being to a higher level of interaction; 
thereby, one attains selflessness and is free from selfishness.” 

Dharma is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Dharana,’ the root word, Dhr. ‘Dharana’, means ‘to 
uphold,’ or to sustain. One who upholds these destined natural duties is said to have undertaken 
Dharma. For example, the Dharma of the sun is to shine. The Dharma of the earth is to rotate, 
and a learned person should guide others in the righteous direction.

The great lawgiver sage, Manu, described ten characteristics of Dharma as follows: 
“The ten characteristics of a person who upholds Dharma are contentment, forgiveness, 
maintenance of purity, thought, action, emotional, and sensual discipline, iratelessness, 
truthfulness, abstinence from stealing, acquisition of knowledge, and wisdom.
” 
The tenth Sikh Guru Sri Govind Singh in Ugradanti Chhake Chhand Vani under the description of 
“Chandi Ki Var” stated: 
“Sakala jagata me khalsa pantha gaje, 
Jage dharam hindu sakal bhanda bhaje” 
Chhake Chhanda 39

“Let Khalsa Pantha be victorious all over the world to awaken Hindu Dharma, so all falsehood or 
ignorance may be removed.” 

Sikh Guru Sri Govind Singh further stated in Ugradani Saveya Chhake Chhanda (40): 
“Sakala jaga me khalsa pantha gaje, 
Jage dharam Hinduka turk dunde bhaje” 2

Ugradanti Saveya Chhake Chhanda Chhaka 1 line 40. 

The use of the word “Hinduka” in the above Chhand by Guru Sri Govind Singh reveals that the 
word Hinduka was in vogue at that time. 
In essence Dharma means “natural righteous, conducts, and duties that help one to rise 
higher to become a better person.” 

Donot mingle Dharma and religion:
Religion is an artificial and human created path which helps one to lead a noble life and bring one closer to 
God. In English, religion is the closest word that may be substituted for “Dharma”. For ordinary purposes 
the term Dharma may be interchangeable with religion. 
Humans designed “Religion”; whereas, Dharma represents natural principles, duties, and responsibilities.

Query: - How is the Human Being in the Eye of the Hinduism? Or what is the perspective of Hinduism on 
Humanity or human nature?

Answer: All Human are same according to Hinduism. All are manifestation of same divine.
When Hinduism say about Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam that means whole world is my family.
As I said earlier that Hinduism regard Human are not sinner but the divergence of Brahman.
the Upanishads, perceived the individual self or "atman" as the immortal pure essence of each being. All human beings are
positioned in the all-embracing "Brahman" or the Absolute, frequently linked with the cosmic dimensions
of the universe.

Ultimately, all human beings are Divine and each being has the power of awareness, sacrifice, and adherence
to the divine order. Thereby, Hindus, having the responsibility to actively represent their respective and
community, and family, consciously attempt to uphold the purity of their eternal atman.

Query: - How important is the role of the women in Hinduism? Is it true that menstruate women is " impure " 
and it is not allowed that she is with her family during her menstruate period? Is there something with
this in Veda's? 

Answer: According to Manu Smirti 

9.96. "Man and Woman are incomplete without each other. Hence the most ordinary religious duty would demand participation of both."

4.180. "A wise man should not indulge in fights and arguments with his family members including mother, daughter and wife."

For more about Woman in Hinduism this link-->> CLICK HERE.

In Hinduism the first menstruation of a young girl is a cause for celebration, with special presents given.
However in Indian culture menstrual blood has generally been considered as impure.

It is part of Culture not the Dharma. Swami Chinmayananda explained this practice in physiological, hormonal
and emotional terms. Earlier the traditional role of a woman in the house involved arduous and physically 
demanding tasks such as carrying heavy pots of water, grinding of wheat, daals, rice and masalas, farming
duties and so on. During periods women suffer in varying degrees from discomfort to cramps and headaches 
to PMS syndrome which includes depression, anger and mood swings.

Thus they were prescribed rest during the three days of menstruation. However the only way this could 
actually be enforced was to put a religious taboo on it and exempt women from all household tasks. In fact 
in orthodox homes in India men, who would otherwise not lift a finger to help at home, actually do the
cooking!

within our body is contained five Pranas. Prana can mean breath, energy, life, air, respiration or vitality
– for now, we will just take its meaning as “energy.” There are five Pranas in the body: prana, which 
takes things in; apana, which takes things out; samana, which assimilates; vyana, which circulates and 
distributes; and udana, which expresses, especially in speech. Any obstruction to the free flow of any of
these pranas causes imbalance and disease (e.g. obstruction to samana would appear to be a metabolic 
disorder, or perhaps a learning disorder). During puja and homa, a release of “pent up” Prana happens. 
Pranayama, or the practice by which Prana is controlled (yama), is also a means by which the movement of
all five Pranas (or by which a single one of the five, depending on the needs of the practitioner) can be
brought to balance. (More on the five pranas can be found in an easily accessible and brief Vedantic text, 
Tattva Bodha, though they are mentioned in a variety of other shastras as well.)


It is believed that menstruation is a time in which apana in the body is naturally predominant, and for 
good reason. It allows for the outward flow of impure physical elements (e.g. uterine tissue), as well as 
for repressed emotions (e.g. mood swings during PMS). Since puja etc. are meant to balance the Prana-s, 
it is not necessarily the best thing for one to engage in religious practices during menstruation when 
the body naturally needs apana to be dominant. (Here it is worth noting that by most accounts, mental
japa and manas puja are usually considered to be allowed during menstruation. This may vary by sampradaya
or your own personal belief as it is part of culture not the Dharma)

But the sad part is, in some places it made up as harsh rule. This should be avoided, in days of sanitation and cleaniness.

SEVEN CHAKRAS

Photo: CHAKRAS :

Our body contains energy centers called chakras.  Chakras are whirling centers of energy that vibrate at a specific frequency and control the different areas of our life. There are thousands of chakras in the body, however, the seven ones located along the spinal column are the main ones.  Each chakras corresponds with a gland in the endorcrine system. Our chakras store prana or energy. They also regulate distribution on energy and provide a connection to higher states of being.
 
Unfortunately, in most people, the chakras are not running at their full capacity.  The chakras can become sluggish and disharmonious from many impurities.  From the foods we eat, to the feelings we repress, to the negative thoughts that we entertain...many things can cause our chakras to not work properly.  Once the pranic flow gets disturbed, the glands and organs that the chakra controls will begin to malfunction.  We should purify our chakras to achieve perfect health and over all well-being.  A pure chakra system can be attained by meditation, sounds, mantra and visualization of any of the aspects of the chakras including its form, deity, location, element and color.

 
Mooladhara Chakra:

Located at the base of the spine, it is the lowest chakra in the body. The exact location in the male body is the perineum and in the female body, its exact location is the cervix.  Mooladhara chakra is dark red in color and it is a lotus flower with four petals.  The bija mantra of this chakra is Lam and its presiding deities are Lord Ganesh and Goddess Dakini. The element of this chakra is Earth.  Mooladhara delegates over the excretory and reproductive organs, as well as the excretion of hormones.  The Mooladhara chakra has a connection with the nose and our sense of smell.  This chakra handles our sense of security and survival in this world.

 
Swadhistan Chakra:

Located about one and a half inches above the Mooladhara, just below the navel, lies the Swadhistan Chakra.  This chakra is a lotus with six orange petals.  The bija mantra for this chakra is Vam and its element is water.  The deities of this chakra are Lord Vishnu and Goddess Rakini.  The Swadhistan chakra controls the reproductive glands and organs as well as our sense of taste.  This chakra navigates our sexuality, creativity and purpose.

 
Manipura Chakra:

Seated just an inch or so above the navel, on the spinal column is the Manipura chakra.  The ten petals on this chakra are bright yellow and the bija mantra is Ram.  The element of the Manipura chakra is fire and it is connected with eyesight.  Manipura controls digestion and assimilation.  This chakra is our center of personal power, inner will and determination.

 
Anahata Chakra:

Located on the spinal column behind the heart is the Anahata chakra.  This lotus has twelve petals and is green.  The Anahata's  element is air.  Its bija mantra is Yam.  Anahata chakra is associated with our sense of touch and it is linked with our hands.  This chakra presides over the heart and lungs as well as the thymus gland.  The Anahata chakra is the center of our emotions, our center of compassion and forgiveness.

 
Visuddhi Chakra:

This chakra is located behind the throat along the spinal column.  It is a  blue lotus with sixteen petals and its bija mantra is Ham and its element is ether.  The presiding deities over Visuddhi chakra are Sada Shiva and Goddess Sakini.  This chakra control the function of the thyroid and throat and  it is connected with our sense of hearing.  The Visuddhi chakra is our center of communication and emotional balance.

 
Agya Chakra:

Commonly known as the Third Eye Chakra, this lotus with two petals is seated in the center of our forehead, just between the eyebrows. The bija mantra from this chakra is Om.  The Agya Chakra corresponds with the pineal gland located in the center of our brain. The deity that oversees this chakra is Param Shaiva.  The Agya Chakra is our center of intuition, inspiration and insight.

 
Sahasrara Chakra:

Located just at the top of the skull, and even about a foot above, is the Sahasrara Chakra.  This thousand petaled lotus  with multiple colors is the center of pure consciousness.  The color of this chakra is white and the mantra is silence. When the kundalini Shakti energy reaches the Sahasrara, She unites with the male Shiva energy and the liberating state of samadhi can be entered into.  This chakra presides over the pituitary gland which is responsible for all the hormones in the endocrine system and it also connects to the central nervous system from the hypothalamus.  An open and active Sahasrara chakra allows one to experience their oneness with all, as well as unity between body, mind and soul.CHAKRAS :

SANSKRIT IS MOTHER LANGUAGE

Sanskrit is the Mother of all languages. About 97% of world languages have been directly or indirectly influenced by this language. (Ref: UNO)

America has a University dedicated to Sanskrit and the NASA too has a department in it to research on Sanskrit manuscripts.
Sanskrit is the best computer friendly language.(Ref: Forbes Magazine July 1987).

There is a report by a NASA scientist that America is creating 6th and 7th generation supercomputers based on Sanskrit language. Project deadline is 2025 for 6th generation and 2034 for 7th generation computer. After this there will be a revolution all over the world to learn Sanskrit.

The language is rich in most advanced science, contained in their books called Vedas, Upanishads, Shruti, Smriti, Puranas, mahabharata, Ramayana etc. (Ref: Russian State University, NASA etc. NASA possesses 60,000 palm leaf manuscripts, which they are studying.)

Learning of Samskrit improves brain functioning. Students start getting better marks in other subjects like Mathematics, Science etc., which some people find difficult. It enhances the memory power. James Junior School, London, has made Sanskrit compulsory. Students of this school are among the toppers year after year. This has been followed by some schools in Ireland also.
Research has shown that the phonetics of this language has roots in various energy points of the body and reading, speaking or reciting Samskrit stimulates these points and raises the energy levels, whereby resistance against illnesses, relaxation to mind and reduction of stress are achieved.

Sanskrit is the only language, which uses all the nerves of the tongue. By its pronunciation energy points in the body are activated that causes the blood circulation to improve. This, coupled with the enhanced brain functioning and higher energy levels, ensures better health. Blood Pressure, diabetes, cholesterol etc. are controlled. (Ref: American Hindu University after constant study)

There are reports that Russians, Germans and Americans are actively doing research on our sacred books and are producing them back to the world in their name. Seventeen countries around the world have a University or two to study Sanskrit to gain technological advantages.

Surprisingly, it is not just a language. Sanskrit is the primordial conduit between Human Thought and the Soul; Physics and Metaphysics; Subtle and Gross; Culture and Art; Nature and its Author; Created and the Creator

HUMAN EXISTED BEFORE DINOSAURS-ARCHEOLOGY HISTORY REVEALED

History of humankind is not 4000 or say 35000 years old. It is more than you could imagine and baffle your mind when Archeologist Michael Cremeo explaines and give evidence that human kind existed during Dinosaurs age and probably before that.
Michael Cremo is interviewed about his archeological discoveries and the cover up of the scientific community. Cremo gives several examples of archeological evidence that has been suppressed by the establishment in the name of "scientific conformity". His books include 'The Hidden History Of The Human Race' and 'Forbidden Archeology'.
Michael Cremo is a member of the World Archeological Congress and the European Association of Archaeologists as well as an associate member of the Bhaktivedanta Institute specializing in history and philosophy of science.

“Looking at the possibility that there were previous advanced civilizations on Earth, modern buildings made of steel and glass will not last over vast periods of time. However, ancient stone structures, like the pyramids, remain intact to this day. So, I think we have to ask, who's really more advanced?” -Michael Cremo

“There is evidence that humans were present before, during, and after the age of the dinosaurs. Human footprints alongside dinosaur footprints found in Texas and a modern human skeleton found in a 300 million-year-old layer of slate rock in Illinois.” -Michael Cremo

KUNDALINI IN HINDI,कुंडलिनी

क्या आप उर्जा चक्र और कुंडलिनी जागृत करने के बारे में जानते हैं ?
क्या आप जानते हैं की वैज्ञानिकों ने पिछले कुछ सालों में मान लिया है कि इनके सही उपयोग से आप अपने खुद के DNA को सुगठित व rebuilt तक कर सकते हैं ?
सोचिये एक जिन्दा इंसान खुद का डीएनए rebuilt कर सकता है जिसे नोबल पुरूस्कार प्राप्त वैज्ञानिक अत्याधुनिक प्रयोगशालाओं में भी सिर्फ एक DNA कोडिंग पर सही ढंग से नहीं कर पाते |
क्या आप जानते हैं आधुनिक विज्ञान का मानना है कि सारे आनुवांशिक और अन्य सभी रोगों का इलाज बिना किसी दवा के इस से संभव है?
ये hinduism का ज्ञान था जो शायद आज हम अधिकतम भूल चुके हैं फिर भी अभी हजारों नागा व अन्य संत इन क्रियाओं को कुछ हद तक जानते हैं ?
इसी के द्वारा हमारे पूर्वज बिना कुछ खाए पिए हजारों वर्ष तपस्या करते थे और जीवित रहते थे ?
आज हमें जरुरत है वेदों के रहस्यों में डूब जाने की और अपने पुरातन ज्ञान को प्राप्त करने की आधुनिक विज्ञान वहीँ से निकल रहा है
पर अफ़सोस हम नहीं ढूंढ रहे
korotkov – ये एक नाम है | एक वैज्ञानिक का जो खुद व उनकी पूरी टीम शायद अब हिन्दू है |
इन्होंने आधुनिक उपकरणों व हमारे वैदिक साइंस का मिश्रण कर के रिसर्च की और योग का चक्रों पर प्रभाव व शरीर से निकलने वाले बायो मैग्नेटिक प्रभाव पे व्यापक अध्ययन किया |
ये सब वही है जिसे हम वेदों में पढ़ते हैं उर्जा चक्र जब व्यक्ति का उर्जा चक्रों पर नियंत्रण हो जाता है कुंडली जागरण आदि संभव है और संभव है उस व्यक्ति की हर भौतिक परेशानी का हल अच्छा भी हो सकता है और बुरा भी क्यूंकि अमृत के साथ कोलाहल भी निकलता है और शायद पहले भी ……
Rig Veda 6.16.13 में मंत्र आता है |
तवामग्ने पुष्करादध्यथर्वा निरमन्थत ।
मूर्ध्नो विश्वस्य वाघतः ॥
कुछ लोगों को लगता है की ये जादू है पर ये हमारे शरीर की ही उर्जा है जो सभी उर्जा चक्रों पर पूर्ण नियंत्रण के बाद जागती है और हमारे पूर्वज इसे जानते थे तभी ये अधिकतर लोगो को सुना- सुना लगेगा |
हमारी प्राण शक्ति के केंद्र कुंडलिनी को अंग्रेजी भाषा में ‘serpent power’ कहते हैं। पहले विज्ञान भी इसको नहीं मानता था , क्यूँ की वो खुद कर के देख नहीं सकते थे पर आज उर्जा चक्रों की उर्जा वो देख चुके हैं तो वो आगे खोज कर रहे है
कुंडलिनी शक्ति सुषुम्ना नाड़ी में नाभि के निचले हिस्से में सोई हुई अवस्था में रहती है।
कुंडलिनी का कार्य : इससे सभी नाड़ियों का संचालन होता है। योग में मानव शरीर के भीतर 7 चक्रों का वर्णन किया गया है। कुंडलिनी को जब ध्यान के द्वारा जागृत किया जाता है, तब यही शक्ति जागृत होकर मस्तिष्क की ओर बढ़ते हुए शरीर के सभी चक्रों को क्रियाशील करती है। योग अभ्यास से सुप्त कुंडलिनी को जाग्रत कर इसे सुषम्ना में स्थित चक्रों का भेदन कराते हुए सहस्रार तक ले जाया जाता है। यह कुंडलिनी ही हमारे शरीर, भाव और विचार को प्रभावित करती है।
चक्रों के नाम : मूलत: सात चक्र होते हैं:- मूलाधार, स्वाधिष्ठान, मणिपुर, अनाहत, विशुद्धि, आज्ञा और सहस्रार।
नाड़ी और चक्र :
नाडिया: इड़ा, पिंगला और सुषुम्ना नाड़ियों को शुद्ध करने के लिए सभी तरह के प्राणायाम का अभ्यास करना। इनके शुद्ध होने से शरीर में स्थित 72 हजार नाड़ियाँ भी शुद्ध होने लगती हैं। कुंडलिनी जागरण में नाड़ियों का शुद्ध और पुष्ट होना आवश्यक है। स्वर विज्ञान में इसका उल्लेख मिलता है।
सुषुम्ना नाड़ी मूलाधार (Basal plexus) से आरंभ होकर यह सिर के सर्वोच्च स्थान पर अवस्थित सहस्रार तक आती है। सभी चक्र सुषुम्ना में ही विद्यमान हैं। इड़ा को गंगा, पिंगला को यमुना और सुषुम्ना को सरस्वती कहा गया है। इन तीन ना‍ड़ियों का पहला मिलन केंद्र मूलाधार कहलाता है। इसलिए मूलाधार को मुक्तत्रिवेणी और आज्ञाचक्र को युक्त त्रिवेणीकहते हैं।
चक्र : मेरुरज्जु (spinal card) में प्राणों के प्रवाह के लिए सूक्ष्म नाड़ी है जिसे सुषुम्ना कहा गया है। इसमें अनेक केंद्र हैं। जिसे चक्र अथवा पदम कहा जाता है। कई ना‍ड़ियों के एक स्थान पर मिलने से इन चक्रों अथवा केंद्रों का निर्माण होता है। कुंडलिनी जब चक्रों का भेदन करती है तो उस में शक्ति का संचार हो उठता है, मानों कमल पुष्प प्रस्फुटित हो गया और उस चक्र की गुप्त शक्तियाँ प्रकट हो जाती हैं।
इसके लाभ : कुंडलिनी योग ऐसी योग क्रिया है, जिसमें व्यक्ति अपने भीतर मौजूद कुंडलिनी शक्ति को जगाकर दिव्यशक्ति को प्राप्त कर सकता है। कुंडलिनी के साथ 7 चक्रों का जागरण होने से मनुष्य को शक्ति और सिद्धि का ज्ञान होता है। वह भूत और भविष्य का जानकार बन जाता है। वह शरीर में बाहर निकल कर कहीं भी भ्रमण कर सकता है। वह अपनी सकारात्मक शक्ति के द्वारा किसी के भी दुख दर्द-दूर करने में सक्षम होता है। सिद्धियों की कोई सीमा नहीं होती।
कुंडलिनी जागरण के नियम :
1.सर्वप्रथम स्वयं को शुद्ध और पवित्र करें। शुद्धता और पवित्रता आहार और व्यवहार से आती है। आहार अर्थात सात्विक और सुपाच्चय भोजन तथा उपवास और व्यवहार अर्थात अपने आचरण को शुद्ध रखते हुए सत्य बोलना और सभी से विनम्रतापूर्वक मिलना।
2.स्वयं की दिनचर्या में सुधार करते हुए जल्दी उठना और जल्दी सोना। प्रात: और संध्या को संध्यावंदन करते हुए नियमित रूप से प्राणायाम, धारणा और ध्यान का अभ्यास करना।
3.कुंडलिनी जागरण के लिए कुंडलिनी प्राणायाम, अत्यन्त प्रभावशाली सिद्ध होते हैं। अपने मन और मस्तिष्क को नियंत्रण में रखकर कुंडलिनी योग का लगातार अभ्यास किया जाए तो 6 से 12 माह में कुंडलिनी जागरण होने लगती है। लेकिन यह सब किसी योग्य गुरु के सानिध्य में ही संभव होता है।
संयम और सम्यक नियमों का पालन करते हुए लगातार ध्यान करने से धीरे धीरे कुंडलिनी जाग्रत होने लगती है और जब यह जाग्रत हो जाती है तो व्यक्ति पहले जैसा नहीं रह जाता। वह दिव्य पुरुष बन जाता है।
कुंडलिनी एक दिव्य शक्ति है जो सर्प की तरह साढ़े तीन फेरे लेकर शरीर के सबसे नीचे के चक्र मूलाधार में स्थित है। जब तक यह इस प्रकार नीचे रहती है तब तक व्यक्ति सांसारिक विषयों की ओर भागता रहता है। परन्तु जब यह जाग्रत होती है तो ऐसा प्रतीत होने लगता है कि कोई सर्पिलाकार तरंग है जो घूमती हुई ऊपर उठ रही है। यह बड़ा ही दिव्य अनुभव होता है।
हमारे शरीर में सात चक्र होते हैं। कुंडलिनी का एक छोर मूलाधार चक्र पर है और दूसरा छोर रीढ़ की हड्डी के चारों तरफ लिपटा हुआ जब ऊपर की ओर गति करता है तो उसका उद्देश्य सातवें चक्र सहस्रार तक पहुंचना होता है, लेकिन यदि व्यक्ति संयम और ध्यान छोड़ देता है तो यह छोर गति करता हुआ किसी भी चक्र पर रुक सकता है।
जब कुंडलिनी जाग्रत होने लगती है तो पहले व्यक्ति को उसके मूलाधार चक्र में स्पंदन का अनुभव होने लगता है। फिर वह कुंडलिनी तेजी से ऊपर उठती है और किसी एक चक्र पर जाकर रुकती है उसके बाद फिर ऊपर उठने लग जाती है। जिस चक्र पर जाकर वह रुकती है उसको व उससे नीचे के चक्रों में स्थित नकारात्मक उर्जा को हमेशा के लिए नष्ट कर चक्र को स्वस्थ और स्वच्छ कर देती है।
कुंडलिनी के जाग्रत होने पर व्यक्ति सांसारिक विषय भोगों से दूर हो जाता है और उसका रूझान आध्यात्म व रहस्य की ओर हो जाता है। कुंडलिनी जागरण से शारीरिक और मानसिक ऊर्जा बढ़ जाती है और व्यक्ति खुद में शक्ति और सिद्धि का अनुभव करने लगता है।
कुंडलिनी जागरण के प्रारंभिक अनुभव : जब कुंडलिनी जाग्रत होने लगती है तो हूं- हूं की गर्जना सुनाई देने लगती है। आंखों के सामने पहले काला, फिर पीला और बाद में नीला रंग दिखाई देना लगता है।
उसे अपना शरीर हवा के गुब्बारे की तरह हल्का लगने लगता है। वह गेंद की तरह एक ही स्थान पर अप-डाउन होने लगता है। उसके गर्दन का भाग ऊंचा उठने लगता है। उसे सिर में चोटी रखने के स्थान पर अर्थात सहस्रार चक्र पर चींटियां चलने जैसा अनुभव होता है और ऐसा लगता है कि मानो कुछ है जो ऊपर जाने की कोशिश कर रहा है। रीढ़ में कंपन होने लगता है। इस तरह के प्रारंभिक अनुभव होते हैं।

LIST OF FREE EDUCATIONAL WEBSITES

According to webometrics, there are more than 17 000 universities, but getting a degree in many of them is quite costly. Many students around the world(and their families) get into big debt or have to work over sixty hours a week in order to afford an education.
Two thirds of the US college seniors who graduated in 2011 had student loan debt, with an average of over 
27 000 USD per person. once we have computer outlets in every home, each of them hooked up to enormous libraries, where you can ask any question and be given answers, you can look up something you're interested in knowing, however silly it might seem to someone else." – Isaac Asiov Isaac Asimov died in 1992.

Getting a degree in an university might be expensive, but there are much better options. There are many websites on the Internet that now offer FREE of charge learning materials. Now even the poorest people could afford to be better educated than many of Harvard's graduates, all they need is access to a computer(does not even have to be personal one, it could be the one that the local library offers for public use).

RUSSIAN AND SANSKRIT ARE CLOSE TO EACH OTHER

Source
INDIA/RUSSIA, November 3, 2014 (by Rakesh Krishnan Simha, In.Rbth): When was the last time you had a shot of vodka? Well, next time you have one, remember that this Russian word has its origins in the Vedic Sanskrit word for water - udaka. The striking similarities in Sanskrit and Russian indicate that during some period of history, the speakers of the two languages lived close together. While it is commonly known that both languages belong to the Indo-European family of languages, most people believe the relation between Russian and Sanskrit is as distant as that between Persian and Sanskrit or Latin and Sanskrit. Linguist and author W.R. Rishi writes in his book "India & Russia: Linguistic & Cultural Affinity" that Russian and Sanskrit share a deeper connection.

According to Rishi, the relation between these two languages is very close and correspondence between these two languages is so minute that it cannot be attributed to mere chance. "The facts...lead us to conclude that during some period of history the speakers of Sanskrit and Russian lived close together." The two languages have two broad similarities. One, Russian is the only European language that shares a strong common grammatical base with Sanskrit. Secondly, both Russian and Sanskrit are pleasing to the ear. The very name Sanskrit means carefully constructed, systematically formed, polished and refined. Colonial era linguist William Jones wrote: "Sanskrit language is of a wonderful structure; more perfect than the Greek, more copious than the Latin and more exquisitely refined than either."

Linguist S. Zharnikova writes in Science & Life: "There are many Russian names and words in Russian the origin of which can easily be traced with the help of the Sanskrit language. What explains the similarities? Vedic Sanskrit was spoken as late as 300 BCE but its antiquity may stretch back thousands of years from that date. Russian may either be the result of ancient Indians taking their language and culture from the banks of the Saraswati river to the banks of the Ob River (in Siberia). The discovery of Shiva statues in Central Asia and Russia points to the spread of Hindu culture far beyond the Indian heartland.

SIZE OF SPACE-EARTH IS A SPECK (FORGET YOURSELF)

The common understanding of physics, the universe, space travel and telescopes is not good. For people like us, there are pictures that illustrate how minuscule our world is compared to the vastness of infinite possibilites. Thanks to technology today, pictures like the ones below explain things in a way that even the most watered down Neil deGrasse Tyson Quote can be proud of. Again, thank you internet gods for bestowing mind-blowing information effectively to the common folk. So let’s begin by checking out the true size of our world.

The earth is bigger than the Moon, Mercury and Mars.

This exercise is a reality check for those moments when thoughts are streaming about frustrations, anger, disappointment, drama or worry of any kind. Think of the size and scope of everything you just saw and know that there is much more in this world to explore. More thoughts to be had. More experience to participate with. The doors that open to a new world are symbolic of the human mind, which fights to limit the thought process to create a productive organism.
As such, it is imperative that time is taken once in awhile to look up, focus on the Skype and tell the mind that ‘NO’, there is actually more to this world than the route to work, the trash to be thrown away and the new dress that is 50% off. There is so much more that it requires the simplified down nature of articles like this to accurately explain as much to the masses.

PATENTS ON COW'S URINE-WORK AS ANTIBIOTIC ENHANCER

CowzAn anti-cancer drug extracted from cow urine and developed by an affiliate of the RSS has got a US patent for the third time for its anti-genotoxicity properties, a senior official has said.

The drug developed by RSS-backed Go Vigyan Anusandhan Kendra had earlier got the US patent as a bio-enhancer with antibiotics and anti-cancer drugs.

The research for the drug brand named 'Kamdhenu Ark' was carried out jointly by the Anusandhan Kendra and National Environmental Engineer Research Institute  NEERI.
The research found that Re-distilled Cow Urine Distillate (RCUD) was useful for protecting and repairing DNA from oxidative damage, Chakraborty and Sunil Mansinghka of Kendra told reporters yesterday.

Oxidative DNA damage is a leading cause of ageing, cancer and other diseases.

RCUD works against genotoxicity, a harmful action on a cell's genetic material, they said, adding research has strengthened the efficacy of 'Kamdhenu Ark' as an anti-cancer drug.

The research was carried out on three patients, two of them having throat and uterus cancer,
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to an absolutely novel use of cow urine distillate as activity enhancer and availability facilitator for bioactive molecules including anti-infective and anti-cancer agents. The molecules which express any activity in form of either inhibiting or promoting a biological function have been referred in this invention as bioactive molecule e.g. antibiotics, drugs, nutraceuticals, cardiovascular, hepatoprotective, neuro-tonics etc. The present invention has direct implication in drastically reducing the dosage of antibiotics, drugs and anti-cancer agent while increasing the efficiency of absorption of bioactive molecules.

The above study was based on the symptomatic relief found to the patient undergoing our treatment. The symptomatic relief signifies the improvement in physical conditions like low diet, difficulty in swallowing, constipation, vomiting, sever pain and other problems. Further various researches have been done and going on which signifies its role as follows:
(US Patent #6410059): Cow Urine in a specific amount is scientifically proven to enhance the anti-microbial effects of antibiotic and antifungal agents. The invention relates to a novel use of cow urine as activity enhancer and availability facilitator for bioactive molecules, including anti-infective agents. The invention has direct implication in drastically reducing the dosage of antibiotics, drugs and anti-infective agent while increasing the efficiency of absorption of bio-active molecules, thereby reducing the cost of treatment and also the side-effects due to toxicity.
(US Patents #6896907, #7235262): Use of bioactive fraction from cowurine (`go-mutra`) as a bio-enhancer of anti-infective, anti-cancer agents and nutrients. The invention relates to a novel pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of bio-active fraction from cow urine as a bioavailability facilitator and pharmaceutically acceptable additives selected from anticancer compounds, antibiotics, drugs, therapeutic and nutraceutic agents, ions and similar molecules which are targeted to the living systems.
Hence it heps in reducing the growth of cancer cells, improving the quality of life and life expectancy
of the patient.
