Chitragupta the quantum computer of the Vedic Era

Chitragupta the quantum computer of the Vedic Era

President CMAAO, HCFI and Past National President IMA

Modi govt allocates Rs 8,000 crore for National Mission on Quantum Technology or the Quantum-Enabled Science & Technology (QuEST) programme.

Unlike existing systems, quantum computing takes advantage of subatomic particles to exist in more than one state at any time. Because of how these tiniest of particles behave, operations in quantum computers can be done much more quickly. 

Government’s quantum mission is a must take “high-risk” investment. With this the Nation will reach, within a span of 10 years, the goal of achieving the technical capacity to build quantum computers and communications systems comparable with the best in the world.

Quantum Computer Existed in the Vedic Era

The ancient Hindus imagined a person with a supercomputer with Hindu God Chitragupta, which means Mind Fold-Secret.

Chitragupta (चित्रगुप्त, 'rich in secrets' or 'hidden picture') is assigned with the task of keeping complete records of actions of human beings on the earth. He is the God of justice. Upon their death, Chitragupta has the task of deciding heaven or the hell for the humans, depending on their actions on the earth. As per Padma Purana, Chitragupta was Manasaputra of Lord Brahma.

Advaita philosophy believes that the God is in me and hence Chitragupta is in me.  

Any human is made up of body, mind and soul. The soul is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. Fire cannot burn it, air cannot dry it, ice cannot freeze it and weapons cannot cut it.

All the qualities of Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh, Yama and Chitragupta are present in this soul.

Today, scientists are in process of mimicking the soul powers by way of super computers and as of date they have now been able to compute a quantum computer with most of the properties of the soul.

The computer properties and quantum software of Chandragupta for instant data storage, competition and analysis mimic qualities of today’s quantum computer, which uses quantum-mechanical phenomena such as superposition and entanglement to perform computation.

The quantum computer today can explain a super-computer that records and retrieves at the appropriate time every single thought, word, and deed of every single human. The computer also can classify these in every case into a positive and negative column, i.e. that it can also evaluate the data.

Quantum entanglement is a physical phenomenon that occurs when pairs or groups of particles are generated, interact, or share spatial proximity in ways such that the quantum state of each particle cannot be described independently of the state of the others, even when the particles are separated by a large distance.

The principle of quantum superposition states that if a physical system may be in one of many configurations—arrangements of particles or fields—then the most general state is a combination of all of these possibilities, where the amount in each configuration is specified by a complex number.

The quantum mechanics, quantum field and strings can explain most features of the soul and spirit.

Spiritual Prescription: Who am I? - Know Your Soul Profile

“I am not my physical body, as I know, once my body dies, nobody wants to touch it.” (Adi Shankaracharya in the Bhaja Govindam) 

“I am not my mind as I know whenever I am in trouble; the mind asks the heart for help” (Deepak Chopra in the Seven Spiritual Laws of Success).

“I am my consciousness which is residing in the core of my heart” (Svetasvatara Upanisad 5.8). 

“This consciousness is nothing but a web of energized information situated in the void” (Chandogya Upanishad Chapter XII — the Birth of the Gross 

from the Subtle) 

“the consciousness is timeless, has no beginning, no end, weapons cannot cut it, air cannot dry it, water cannot wet it and fire cannot burn it” (Bhagavad Gita 2.23, 24).

Each one of us has a physical profile (as defined by our height, complexion, collar number, waist size, etc.) and has a mental or ego profile. A few examples of ego profile: my bank balance, car, job designation, locality of residence, size of house, contacts, power, clothes’, etc.

Similarly each one of us also has a soul profile. We should give sometime to ourselves for knowing our soul profile and revisit it at least once in a week.

According to Deepak Chopra, to know the soul profile one should ask seven questions to his or her consciousness while sitting in a meditative poise or in state of relaxation. The answer to each question should be either in three words or three phrases.

1)         What is my purpose of life?

2)         What is my contribution going to be for my friends and family?

3)         Three instances in my life when I had my peak experiences.

4)         Names of three people who inspire me the most.

5)         Three qualities which I admire in others the most.

6)         Three of my unique talents.

7)         Three qualities I best express in my relationship.

These twenty one answers will characterize your soul profile or will be your passport for every action you perform in your life.

In day-to-day’s life, one should act from the soul profile and not from the ego profile. Soul profile cannot be manipulated while the ego profile can be.

There are only three ways of improving one’s soul profile and these are:

1.  The choices one makes should be soul-profile oriented and not ego-profile oriented. Whenever there is an opportunity for an action, ask the head for choices, then ask the heart to choose one, and finally order the hand to take action. A soul-based action is the one which is based on the truth, is necessary, and which makes the person and the people around him or her, both happy.

2. Total clarity of vision of “What do I want” and also “What I don’t want”.

3.  Learn to enter into discontinuity of thought processes using “beej mantra” or doing primordial sound meditation 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes in the evening.

These can also be equated to the eight limbs of Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, where the “choices I make” represents Yama and Niyama, “what do I want” represents Dharma and the “entering into discontinuity” represents Dhyana and Samadhi.

Spiritual Blog:Why Doctors are called God?

Modern medicine is only couple of hundred years old. Prior to that it was traditional medicine being used based on the local needs of the country. The oldest of them being Indian ayurvedic system of medicine originating from atharveda.  Unani, Chinese, and Tibetan medicine probably are all off shoots of Ayurveda. 

Doctors in India since Vedic time have been equated to God. This has continued even today even after modern medicine has taken over. No other profession whether it is priest, lawyers, judges, politicians, occupies the same status as that of the medical doctors. Medical profession is the noblest profession. 

The role of a doctor is to remove the miseries and save the life of a person and that is one reason most of us think that a medical doctor has been given designation equivalent to that of God. But it has many other perspectives also. 

A common man’s perspective of God is a force that can do and undo anything, for whom nothing is impossible, who is the final decision maker, whose decision cannot be challenged, who can give an instantaneous relief, who can punish and reward and he who overcomes miseries. He can also answer the unknown as he is supposed to know everything. In Bhagwad Gita and other vedic texts, GOD is equated to consciousness, a network of energized information, a force which cannot be burnt by fire, wet by water, dried by air or cut by weapon; a force which is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient and still ever-pervading. 

A trained qualified medical doctor who has his understanding based on the mind, body and soul has nearly the same characteristics. He overcome miseries, mystifies his presence as soon as he touches the patient, gives immediate relief which starts at the time he gives a healing touch to the patient, his decision often is considered final and whose decisions are almost predictable to 100%.

God is the person on whom one has blind belief and faith. At the time when a person is sick or in acute emergency the same belief and faith is seen in doctors.

According to Deepak Chopra in his book ‘How to Know God’ he has explained God of different levels. According to him a God is a person from amongst the society with one step higher level of consciousness. He describes, as per the Vedic text, seven different levels of consciousness a person can posses and they are at the level of fight & flight, reactive consciousness, restful alertness consciousness, intuitive consciousness, creative consciousness, sacred consciousness and unified consciousness. If we take this as the classification then even a ruler of the society may be considered God by many people. But if you take universal criteria then a person who has achieved sainthood, who sees the same consciousness in everybody, treats individuals without caste, creed and religion who overcome miseries of people irrespective of their age, status or paying capacity is the GOD. Doctor fits into these criteria.

For him every patient is the same and his job is to remove his or her miseries at that particular moment. Probably, this is another reason why doctors have been considered God at every level of perception and from every segment of the society. 

Most people have fear of death, fear of unknown, fear of loss and fear of disability. Whenever there is an unknown fear they think of the God. A medical doctor is also remembered whenever there is a health crisis.

Ayurvedic text describes clearly chapters & chapters on the subject ‘how to predict death’. It describes symptoms, which, if present, with certainty one can say that this person is going to die in how many hours, days, months or years. That level of prediction gives public a feeling that doctors are God because they have seen doctors for thousands of years giving verdict that this person is not going to survive after a particular period and that used to happen. 

According to Bible every work God does he does through his messenger. Medical doctors are the only certified universal messenger of God in the society. Rest all become God for a particular period, for a particular instance or a particular person.  

Health is not mere absence of disease but a state of physical, mental, social, spiritual, environmental and financial well being. This definition fully was used by the Eastern philosophy and Eastern pathies. The modern doctors, however, practice more often an instant practice with emphasis on quick treatment, handling acute emergencies and lifestyle illnesses. They hardly take mental and spiritual health into consideration. That may be one reason why slowly people are withdrawing the status of God from the doctors. They have started equating a medical doctor with any other marketing profession. 

Out of four purposes of life: dharma, artha, kama & moksha, dharma is the most important. The literal meaning of dharma is to hold. God is the force with 100% dharma in his life. Dharma of a doctor is to treat and save the life of a person at any cost. One recalls the movie Achanak where the doctor saves the life of a person who has been sentenced to death and the day he saves him the police officer takes him for hanging. The movie ends with a message that a doctor has to do his dharma and police officer has to do his. 

At the time of miseries, a doctor is treated as a healer. Nobody bothers whether the doctor came from which religion, caste, race or whether the doctor is male, female or from third gender. People do not bother about the ill habits or out of profession activities of the doctor; they are only concerned about the fact that doctor is a universal healer and overcomes the miseries of everybody who approaches him. A doctor provides free treatment to those who cannot afford or comes to an emergency ward without any money. 

Putting doctors under Consumer Protection Act is the biggest blunder done by the government. How can one make God accountable? Can a child born blind at birth abuse or curse God for making him blind. 

I think all of us should introspect and remember that doctor is the messenger of god born to remove miseries of the sick individuals.

Spiritual Blog:Different Interpretation of the different flood disaster

Deepak Chopra, in his book, “How to know GOD”, he describes seven types of people with different consciousness levels. The first level is people with Fight and Flight response, who either fight or flight an adversity. Second level is people with reactive response, who are fault finders when an adversity comes.

 Third, fourth and fifth levels are people with restful alertness, intuitive, and creative responses respectively. These people treat every adversity as an opportunity to do something different and work in the interest of the community.

 Finally sixth and seventh levels are the people with visionary and sacred responses. These people are people with wisdom who understand consciousness and treat the microcosm within the body and the macrocosm of the nature as one.

 The present Uttarakhand Natural Flood Disaster can be interpreted differently by different leaders.

 People who share the fight, flight or reactive response, they would interpret it as if the God is punishing us for our sins.

 Those who are in the restful alertness, intuitive or creative response, would think of the disaster as a creative opportunity to create a globalization-based new humanity on the culture or compassion instead of exploitation. Finally those who are with visionary or sacred response might see a link between the turbulence in collective consciousness of the people and the turbulence in nature.

 Many theorists propose that the earth is a living biological organism. This is known as GAIA hypothesis. We and other biological organisms are just patterns of behavior in this living biological organism that we call Mother Earth. When we are agitated and turbulent our extended body or Mother Earth reflect that turbulence. In other words, the turbulence in nature and the turbulence in human beings co-arise inter-dependently.

 We all know that during full moon, the mind is more agitated than during the new moon. The high tides in the ocean influence the high tides (vata function) in the human body and the human mind.

 Many intellectuals have suggested that turbulence in nature can be managed by collective meditation (more than 1% of the population together at the same time) or through rituals by introducing intentions in the field of pure potentiality. This uses the principles of dharna, Dhyana, and samadhi of Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. This was the original purpose of yagnas which unfortunately today have become as empty rituals as they are not based on basic methodology of true consciousness.

 In the last Tsunami episode, not a single dead body of wild animals was found. Elephants broke their chains and ran upto the hills several hours before the earthquake occurred. So did the birds who began to fly away from the affected areas. This only proves that consciousness of animals and the consciousness of the earth are inter-linked. It must be true for the human beings also but we have so severely disturbed our links with the nature that it seems we have no communication with the nature and cannot pick up nature’s warning signals. Many of the tribals also escaped the episode proving their relative nearness to the nature.

 All these explanations are valid if you believe that consciousness is the primary force in the universe. You can also interpret the whole flood episode without introducing the concept of consciousness as tectonic shifts in the beds of the oceans and explain the whole thing in purely geological terms.

 Some have even suggested that the testing of nuclear weapons and other violent technologies on the beds of the oceans may have accelerated these geological shifts. I think there is truth to all these explanations depending on your level of perceptions.

 The present can be considered as a localized pralay involving the element of water. The classic pralay will involve all five elements. If a flood like instance occurs affecting the whole earth, it will be the pralay mentioned in Purans.

Why no leafy vegetables in Shravan and curd is taken in Bhadon month

http://www.itimes.com/users/iti475269/blogs

              "Savan me saag nahi, bhado me dahi nahi, ashwin me doodh nahi, kartik me tel nahi"

It is a traditional Ayurveda saying that one should not take green leafy vegetables in the month of Shravan, curd (yogurt, dahi) in the month of Bhadon, milk in the month of Ashwin and butter milk (mahi, matha), pulses and oil in the month of Kartik.

To answer these questions, we need to understand the concept of Vata, Pitta and Kapha from Ayurveda. In terms of modern medicine, Vata represents movement; Pitta metabolism and Kapha structure and water.

 As per Ritucharya (seasonal routine), Vata or movement functions in the body are aggravated in Varsha Ritu (rainy season) which coincides with Shravan and Bhado months. In this month Pitta functions starts accumulating.

 Pitta or metabolism is aggravated in Sharad Ritu (Ashwin and Kartik months) and Kapha in the Vasant Ritu (Chaitra and Vaisakha).  In Sharad Ritu when Pitta gets aggravated the Kapha is accumulating.

In the month of Shravan, as Vata or movement function is aggravated, any food item which aggravates Vata or movement will cause harm to the body. Ground leafy vegetables increase Vata, therefore, are prohibited in the month of Shravan. As per the modern medicine, being a rainy season, most of the ground worms will also come to the surface and infect the leafy vegetables. This is another reason why leafy vegetables are harmful to the body in the month of Shravan.

In Varsha Ritu (Rainy season), Vata is aggravated but Pita has stated accumulating which gets aggravated in Sharad Ritu. Therefore in the month of Bhadon, it is advised to eat fewer yogurts (dahi) as anything fermented aggravates Pitta. Though Ayurveda talks that curd should not be eaten in the month of Bhadon season, from allopathic point of view, it should be true for all fermented foods including alcohol, dosa, idli or dhokla etc.

Kapha producing substances like milk and butter milk are avoided in Sharad Ritu as at that time Kapha is accumulating and Pitta is aggravated.

As per the Ayurveda in the month of Shravan and Bhadon, the digestive fire is weak and, therefore, any substance which can obstruct the digestive channels should be avoided and curd is one of them.

Ayurveda also prohibits eating curd in the night throughout the year as after 6 pm the digestive fire in the body is weak, Kapha is predominant and any curd food taken at that time will block the digestive channels.

Naturopathy is in agreement with Ayurveda but Allopathy is silent on this issue.  Without going into the details of the subject the conclusion is to avoid eating curd in the month of bhadon. 

The success behind Anna Wave

http://www.itimes.com/users/iti475269/blogs

Lage Rahon Anna Bhai: The science behind what makes a wave?

As we have been witnessing over the last few days, there is an ‘Anna wave’ in the country. People of all ages, from all walks of life have come out on the streets in large numbers in support of Anna. Till about few months back, Anna was a relatively unknown name to most people. Since then, he has become the biggest name in the country.  A new term has been coined. Just like Gandhigiri, Annagiri is the talk of the town.

What is the reason for this wave of support? Why has there been such an upsurge of people?

The success of a wave depends on the subject and on the principle of critical mass being achieved.

If the chosen issue is based on the principles of truthfulness, non violence and sarvodaya (welfare for all) it can turn into a wave.

Now for a wave to spread across the entire nation, it must cover one percent of the population. This can be explained by the 100th-monkey phenomenon, as explained by Deepak Chopra.

“Long time back there was a monkey called Emo in a far off village in Japan. Monkeys at that time used to eat apples lying in the gardens full of dust. One day Emo by mistake washed the apple in the pond before eating. From then onwards he washed every apple he ate. The message went from one monkey to the second monkey and then to the third and so on. Many monkeys started washing apples before eating. After sometime, some neighboring monkeys from other villages also started washing their apples before eating. The day the 100th monkey washed the apple and ate it, a strange phenomenon was observed all over the country. Monkeys all over started washing apples before eating. The critical mass in that area therefore was 100. Once the critical mass was achieved, the information spread like wildfire to each and every monkey and everybody started washing apples before eating.”

In campaigning also the politicians make use of this principle and make sure that the critical mass is achieved to start with. In local political meetings also, the same principle of 1% critical mass is used. For a gathering of 1000 people, politicians make sure that they have minimum 10 of their own people are sitting in the audience to initiate clapping. When 10 people clap, the rest 990 will also follow and clap. Similarly, for a gathering of 2000 they will need 20 people and for 10,000 they will need 100 people.............more http://www.itimes.com/users/iti475269/blogs

How to tackle negative thoughts

Darkness is absence of light so are negative thoughts which are absence of positive thoughts. As per Deepak Chopra Negative thoughts can only be removed by inculcating positive thoughts. Vedanta has described various modalities regarding the same. 

1.  Adi Shankarya in his book Bhag Govindum described that the negative thoughts can be modified (think differently) . He said that once a monk encountered a female with no cloths over the chest, instead of closing the eyes, he looked at them and imagined them as the organs from where he drank the milk while he was an infant. The initial vitiated thoughts vanished there and then.

2. Yoga Sutras of Patanjali has described that for negative thought one can willfully originate opposite thoughts (think opposite). For example if one is having a thought of stealing he or she can silently pass on the thoughts of charity to someone. 

3. Buddha on the other hand said that to resolve negative thoughts one should think of any positive thoughts or do any positive acts, even if they are unrelated. (think positive)

4. Face and be aware of the negative thought as it will be only transient (do not think at all, let it happen): There's a classic Zen story about two celibate monks who are walking on a pilgrimage. They come across a girl who is very lovely and beautiful who wants to cross the river. The young monk gets attracted to her, offers help and says, "I'll take you on my shoulders and carry you across the river and drop you off on the other side." He does that, and the two monks continue on their pilgrimage until after a while the old monk starts to have a frown on his face. 

He's upset. Six hours, seven hours go by, and finally he looks at the young one and says, "I can't believe you did that." "Did what?" the young monk asks. "You carried that woman on your shoulders." "I dropped her off six hours ago," the young monk says. And to the old monk he further responds, "But you're still carrying her."

Are you a leader or a follower

Understanding a Leader : There are only two types of people in the community: leaders or followers.

Most of us are followers with only a few amongst us with leadership qualities. A leader is the symbolic soul of a group who acts as a catalyst for change and transformation. The group may be a family, business, political party, community, nation, civilization or any other organization. The actions of the leaders are shaped by the memory and experience, propelled by desires.

The state of consciousness and their corresponding mind-body expressions determine the response to a situation. In every situation, there is one or more of the following seven responses, which decide the type of leadership, says Deepak Chopra in soul of the leadership.

The most primitive response is the response of “fight or flight”. Leaders with this response have no higher aims in life. They only believe in do or die.

The next type of response is “reactive, impulsive or egoistic response” and leaders with this response are egoistic, find fault in every failure and do not want to accept failure in life.

The next response is a response of “inner protection or restful alertness.” Leaders with this behavioral response are balanced, believe in meditation and do not react in gains or losses.

The fourth response is the response of “intuition or knowingness”. Leaders with a predominant intuitive response are not only relaxed and balanced but also take every adversity as an opportunity. They accept situations and persons as they are.

The fifth response is “creative response” and the leaders with this response exhibit creative behaviour. They create something new out of every adversity.

The last two responses are “response of visionary or higher guidance” and response of unity or sacred response. Most leaders with any of these responses have behaviour suggestive of sainthood. There are very few people today with these types of leadership qualities.

Just as there is a rising hierarchy built into us there is a rising hierarchy of needs. The needs are need for survival, safety, achievement & success, belonging, self-worth, expression, renewal, spiritual growth, vision and transcendence.

Leaders and followers co-create each other. Leaders exist to embody the values that the followers want and the followers exist to fuel the leader’s vision from within themselves.

Only those leaders who understand the hierarchy of needs and response succeed in life and those leaders who aim only for external goals such as money, victory and power falter when it counts the most.

 Depending upon the response, the leaders therefore, are classified as protector, entrepreneur or politician, team builder, nurturer, innovator, visionary and saint.

The leaders also respond differently during failure, when their needs are unfulfilled or end up in inappropriate responses. Leaders whose needs are survival and safety and responses are based on fight or flight end up with terrorist movements, corruption, gang wars and criminal activities.

Leaders whose needs and responses are based on achievement and ego, the failure will make them victims of empty fame and burnt out celebrities. They will also end up as corrupt politicians.

Leaders whose needs are based on belongings and responses are based on inner protection when fail ends up with hostility and divide and conquer strategies.

When leaders whose needs and responses are based on nurturing and intuitiveness fail, they end up with creating racial differentiations, welfare systems and social security systems.

When leaders whose needs and responses are based on renewal and expressions, fail, they end up with biological warfare, internet debacle, hacking, information sabotage and nuclear wars.

Finally when leaders with visionary and sacred needs and responses fail, they end up with religious fundamentalism, communalism, idealism and unionalism.

We in the community today are lacking leaders. The followers need someone with good leadership qualities with creative, visionary or sacred response. Only then the present status of violence in the community, suicidal blasts, all over, killing of innocent people, will come under control.

The bomb blasts traige

The Mumbai terrorist attack update: Bomb blast injuries are always hollow organ injuries

How do bomb blast cause injuries? It is crucial that we know this to handle the aftermath of bomb blasts.

Primary blast injuries are the injuries to the hollow gas-filled organs like the lungs, ear drum or intestines leading to their rupture. These occur as a direct result of the impact of the over pressurized blast wave on the body.

Secondary blast injuries occur due to flying debris and bomb fragments leading to penetration or penetrating injuries such as to the eyes.

Tertiary blast injuries occur when individuals are thrown by the blast wind leading to fractures as a result of the fall.

Quaternary blast injuries are due to direct effect of burn or crush injuries.

The most important triage to manage blast injuries is not to waste energies and resources on patients with non-serious injuries.

The first thing is to check for eardrum rupture and signs of respiratory imbalance. Their absence indicates a non-serious injury.

All patients exposed to a blast must have eardrum examination as the first step. If the ear drums are intact, the patient can be discharged with first-aid treatment. If ear drum is ruptured, an X-ray chest should be done immediately. All such patients should be observed for eight hours as primary blast injuries are notorious for delayed presentation.

Doctors should therefore focus only on two exams: Otoscopic ear exam and pulse oximetry. Blast lung injury is unlikely without tympanic or ear membrane rupture. This is used as a screening procedure for admitting a patient. Decreased oxygen saturation on pulse oximetry signals early blast lung injury, even before symptoms become apparent.

Half of all initial casualties seek medical care over first hour. Double this number after one hour and you will know the total casualties. This formula is often used by the media to predict the tolls. It is also useful to predict demand for care and resource needs.

Always expect upside down triage as the most severely injured arrive after the less injured who self-transport to the closest hospitals.

The Government should take all steps so that blasts do not occur. With the increasing use of explosives in terrorist events in our country in recent times, doctors, especially Emergency Doctors, should undergo orientation training every six months so that they are prepared and better equipped to manage several casualties all at one time. There is a need for constant updation. Govt. should formulate guidelines, which should be available on their website and can be followed by all.

Mumbai Blasts: The psyche behind terrorism

More blasts in Mumbai… yesterday Mumbai was hit by serial blasts yet again

What is it that makes people kill others? Why is there so much of unrest or turmoil in the mind of people that they can kill others. We need to understand the psyche behind the mind of a terrorist.

“We are what deep rooted desires are” is an old saying in the Upanishads. The reality can be shaped by altering the way one thinks. This principle is often used by terrorist camps to brainwash new young terrorists who are used either as suicide squads or for other terror attacks.

According the Bhagwad Gita, the human nature is a mix of Rajas, Tamas and Satva gunas or nature. This is the era of Tamasik-Rajasik society. People like to read and hear stories full of rape, anger, aggression, terrorism, extra marital affairs etc. Today the hero plays a negative character in a movie and yet always ends up with the sympathy of the viewers. In the Rajsik and Tamsik era, the collective consciousness of the people is towards negative mentality and tolerating corruption. Hence, building a suicide squad is easy in these times. “Satya, Tapas, Pavitrata (purity) and Daan” are the four pillars of dharma. The first three are absent in Kalyuga, where the only prevalent and accepted behavior is Daya and/or Daan (charity).

Many years back, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi had adopted an army of children aged 4-5 years and trained them over the next ten years as Shastra Pandits. After their training, these children spread the message of Indian Shastras all over the world. During these years of hard work, the Vedic knowledge was affixed to their consciousness.

Similar squads can be prepared on any subject. A boy born and brought up by dacoits would only know that this profession is a noble one. Youngsters, similarly trained for decades in terrorism will only perform violent acts. Over a period of time, the mind gets conditioned for the said act on which they are trained.

Even Chanakaya used the concept of ‘Vishkanya – the poisonous girl’ and justified its use to kill the enemies. Today many terrorist groups are using the same concept through ‘HIV Kanya’.

We often wonder what makes such people take courage and risk their lives during terrorist attacks. The answer is simple. It’s the same psyche which applies to army soldiers during a war or to doctors who treat serious infections with high incidence of cross infection or to film stars who attempt to shoot risky scenes themselves and to a journalist who covers live news from the warfront or other dangerous areas. At that time, the only psyche is to achieve something new or to do something which is unusual.

Each one of us is born with some needs. These may be physical (food, clothing, shelter and other body needs), mind, intellect and ego (brain washed totally in one aspect) or at the level of soul (trained to do the jobs in the name of the God). Most terrorist camps fulfill the basic physical needs of their trainees.

Some will exploit the needs on the basis of a sacrifice. Many movies have a storyline where the hero is willing to sacrifice his or her life to fulfill the needs of the family, for example, marriage of sister or treatment of the ailing mother. Some movies have also shown a hero ready to become a negative man to fulfill the needs of the family after he was found to be suffering from an incurable nearing death illness.

Our history also plays a role in this aspect. The way our movies project people like Bhagat Singh and Chandrashekhar Azad, it makes one think that if they succeed in their terrorist attack they can achieve what they want and if they die they would be revered in history just as Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad and others are revered today.

If we want terrorism to stop, then the negative mind in the collective consciousness of the people should change. We must shift our status from that of lower leader to a higher leader. We must learn to control violence in our own minds first. We must learn to control our shadow self and behave the same whether or not we achieve success in life.

The neeed for the modification of law to gain the falling sex ratio in India

World Population Day:  This year World Population Day fell during a milestone year as we witness the birth of the world’s 7th billion inhabitant later this year.

Addressing a gathering of doctors and nurses, Padma Shri & Dr. B.C. Roy National Awardee, Dr. K K Aggarwal, President Heart Care Foundation of India, said that today people live longer and lead a more healthy life. Simultaneously, couples now choose to have fewer children. The increase in number of deliveries by reproductive techniques like In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) does not balance the reduced number of deliveries by choice. The provisional population figures of the 2011 census in India suggest that India’s population growth is finally slowing down. The decline in sex-ratio, however, is still a matter of concern. As per 2011 Indian Census, 7.1 million fewer girls than boys were noticed in the age group of 18 to 6 years.

Most of the sex selective abortions are done between 12-20 weeks of gestation. In developing countries, the law should be so modified that termination of pregnancy after 12 weeks should only be on medical grounds and that too in the recognized hospitals.

Many diseases spread very fast in overcrowded places  through respiratory droplet and nuclei infections like Tuberculosis, Measles etc. Another disease which is common due to over populated place is rheumatic heart disease which include damage of valve of the heart due to sore throat in children living in overcrowded places.

 

The normal respiratory hygiene involves staying 3 feet away from people who are coughing, snoring and singing. In India, practically all class rooms, cinema halls and public places do not follow these regimes due to scarcity of space.

National conference on Insight on medical issues

Medical accident is not medical negligence : Inaugurating, a daylong national conference on "Insight on Medicolegal Issues", Hon’ble Justice A K Sikri, Hon’ble Judge Delhi High Court said that a better and continuous patient–doctor relationship can reduce most of the litigations occurring in the field of medical care.

Addressing a gather of over 300 doctors, Hon’ble Justice Vipin Sanghi, Hon’ble Judge Delhi High Court, said that a medical professional is not supposed to possess and provide maximum degree of knowledge skills and care. He is only expected to provide and possess an average degree of care, knowledge and skills.
Dr. H S Rissam, Member, Board of Directors, Medical Council of India, in his address said that most important thing a doctor must maintain is proper records of the patient and take informed consent for undertaking any treatment.

Padma Shri & Dr. B.C. Roy Awardee, Dr. KK Aggarwal, President Heart Care Foundation of India, said that medical accidents are not synonymous with medical negligence. Medical accidents are now classified as sentinel events or events which are unexpected and end up in complications or untoward effects. Quoting a recent US Study, Dr. Aggarwal said that wrong site surgical operations are the third most common sentinel events all over the world. All sentinel events will end up into a claim. These events may or may not be medical negligence.

Dr. A K Aggarwal, President Delhi Medical Council said that there are a number of ‘never events’ which should not happen while treatment is given. Citing an example, he said that leaving a surgical instrument or a sponge inside the abdomen will fall under ‘never events’ and is not pardonable. In the US, insurance companies have started refusing to pay for the treatment of such events.

The faculty included eminent doctors and advocates. Senior advocates who spoke on the occasion were Mr. Mukul Rohtagi, Mr. Ajay Agrawal, Ms Priya, Ms Meenakshi Lekhi, Mr. M C Gupta,
Mr. Sidhartha Luthra and Ms Indu Malhotra.

The medical faculty included Dr. Ranjit Roy Chaudhury, Dr. H S Risam, Dr. Navin Dang, Dr. Neelam Mohan, Dr. N P Singh, Dr. Sanjiv Malik, Dr. Anupam Sibal, Dr. Ajay Gambhir, Dr. Vijay Aggarwal, Dr. Girish Tyagi and Dr. Sudhir Gupta etc.

How to Attain Spiritual Health

For spiritual health one needs to follow the basic principles of Vedic texts. The main if the Vedic Expression  described in ‘Satchithananda’ where ‘Sat’ means ‘truth', ‘Chitha’ means ‘conscious based’ and ‘Ananda’ means ‘inner happiness’. People in touch with their soul speak the truth, take consciousness-based decisions and experience inner happiness.

The great sages of India described ‘Satchithananda as the main formula for how to be in touch with one’s soul and get inner happiness. This formula is based on three questions to be asked to oneself before performing any action. If the answer to all three is ‘yes’, go ahead. In other words, if the answer to any of the three is “no”, do not perform that action.

1. Is it the truth?
2. Is it consciousness based?
3. Will it give happiness?

Later on, many texts have modified this formula as per the need of the society.

1. Buddha’s Law of Action summarized these questions as:

a.       Is it the truth?

b.      Is it necessary?

c.       Will it bring happiness to me?

d.      And will it bring happiness to others?

If the answer to any of the questions is, no do not do that action.

2. Buddha’s Law of Speech summarized the questions as:

a.       Is it the truth?

b.      Is it necessary?

c.       And is it kind?

If the answer to any of the question is ‘no’, do not speak.

3.  The Rotary four-way test comprises of:

a.       Is it the truth?

b.      Is it fair to all concerned?

c.       Will it build goodwill and better friendship?

d.      Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

If the answer to any of the answer is ‘no’ do not perform that deed.

4. Formula of three H: Head, Heart and Hand: Before doing any action ask your head for the choices. Then listen to the heart to give you the best consciousness-based advice and finally order the hand to do the action.

5. The formula Satyam Shivam Sundram is based again on three questions:

a.       Is it the truth;

b.      is it God (consciousness based);

c.       And is it going to build my inner beauty (happiness).

6. ‘May I help you?’ is another formula given in Srimad Bhagwad where you offer help in day to day practice and once you agree to help, you end up with all the four requirement of being a satyugi and they are 'Satya' (truthful); 'tapas' (hard work) ; 'pavitrata' (purity of mind) and "daya and daan" (charity and compassion).

7. “I AM” Before doing any action ask yourself who you are (who I am).  Say to yourself I Am the expression of pure love born to help others. And I AM the same soul as in you and everybody.

8. Formula of “I want peace”. Remember these three words and to get peace just remove ‘I’ (ego) and ‘Want’ (desires) and you will get peace.

9. Whenever in trouble recall the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra which starts with aum tryambakaṃ yajāmahe  (We worship the third eye Shiva). It means to open the third eye or think differently and look for multiple options. When you get multiple options to choose one of them recall Gayatri Mantra which gives us the meassge to have the lord direct the intellect to take the right decision or in other words to take soul or conscious based decisions.

10.  According to Deepak Chopra, to know your soul profile one should ask seven questions to his or her consciousness while sitting in a meditative poise or in state of relaxation and focussing the awareness on the heart. The answer to each question should be either in three words or three phrases.

1. What is my purpose of life?
2. What is my contribution going to be for my friends and family?
3. Three instances in my life when I had my peak experiences.
4. Names of three people who inspire me the most.
5. Three qualities which I admire in others the most.
6. Three of my unique talents.
7. Three qualities I best express in my relationship.

These twenty one answers will characterize your soul profile or will be your passport for every action you perform in your life. In day-to-day’s life, one should act from the soul profile and not from the ego profile. Soul profile cannot be manipulated while the ego profile can be.
