Science and Scientific Reason Behind Indian Tradition and Culture - Part-1

Its been so long I didn’t post any blogs. From today I will post some series about “Science and Scientific Reason behind Indian Tradition and Culture”.

Let’s start!!

1.      Why do we greet with namaste or namaskar?

Whenever we meet someone, we greet by joint both palms as namaste in Indian culture.

What is the reason for it?

There are two reasons,

·        This is called Anjali mudra in yoga it says the tips of our finger are major energy points. When we join them the nerve circuits of the brain are linked to those of the upper body. Affecting of calmness and well-being immediately descends.

·        As at this time we can see many viruses spread by touching others or giving handshakes. So, the whole world follows this kind of greeting now.

2.      Why do temples have bells?

“Aagamartanthu devaanaam gamanartanthu raakshasam kurve gantarvam thatra devadahwana lakshanam”.

Meaning – “I start my worship ringing the bell praying that the divine may enter me and all demonic forces within and without depart.”

What is the reason?

The temple bell is a beautifully crafted object made of several metals including Zinc, Copper, Bronze, Cadmium, and many other alloys. The quantity of each metal is based on a very accurate scientific calculation.

When the bell is rung there will be an immediate harmony between the right and left of the brain. The echo lasts 7 seconds which touches 7 chakras of the body.

A well-designed bell could also produce the sound “OM”.

3.      Why do we visit the temples?

Whenever we visit any places in India, we find many temples. These temples were not just built for beauty or to show their architectural skill

Scientific analysis has today proven that these temples were built over areas of maximum positive energy. The moolasthana or garbhagriha was built at the spot where energy was maximum.

This point indicated the place of maximum energy.

Below the idols were Copper Plates with Vedic inscriptions capable of absorbing and radiating energy.

When a person visits a temple and walks around the parikrama they come within the radius of the magnetic field thereby imbibing a lot of positive energy.

4.      Why do we worship idols?

The Upanishads were texts of immense spiritual strength based on authentic scientific facts.

Idol is a form of symbol.

For example – when we hold a coin in the hand, we are aware of money power.

When an idol is placed before a devotee it helps him to focus instantaneously increasing concentration and thus enabling him to move easily to his higher self and realms beyond.

The devotee was free to choose the idol according to his inclination and likes this enable instant concentration.

We worship idols to concentrate in one place so we can understand abstract truths.

5.      Why are silk clothes preferred while doing pooja?

Silk has the capacity to attract and absorb electromagnetic energy. The constant friction between the cloth and the body creates an electromagnetic attraction.

When the devotee did pooja wearing silk cloths. There will be an instant absorption of the energy created which will be then transmitted to the devotee creating a feeling of instant calm. The silk also prevented loss of energy thereby leading to increased concentration.

I assume you have read everything correctly. If you think this content is shareable then do share with as many friends as possible. So, everyone gets to know the reason why our ancestors made such rules. We of this generation always question these things. Just a small information from me..

Next post will be posted soon,

Until then bye!!
