Just as long as we don't assume that all of it is science, I think we will all be enriched by the innate poetic beauty of mythology and the rational clarity of science :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3595678898790255952.post-58165616756660547702007-08-16T13:38:00.000+05:302007-08-16T13:38:00.000+05:30Thanks Thiru for your comment and the link on Jupi...Thanks Thiru for your comment and the link on Jupiter's moons on Kathambamaalai. <BR/><BR/>Your reasoning seems right.

These kind of claims are made by meditation teachers who tries to explain meditation and its values with the support of science. Here I don't demean the value of meditation.<BR/>Our brain tends to be in one state or other during various activities. It needs rigorous testing and reproducible experiments to make such claims. <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroencephalography#Activity_types" REL="nofollow">Here</A> you can get an idea on brain waves and its corresponding conscious states.Thiruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12318788800295319261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3595678898790255952.post-28993098916960061022007-07-17T10:52:00.000+05:302007-07-17T10:52:00.000+05:30Hey Thiru....am fine...and u?Sooper :)I meant only...Hey Thiru....<BR/><BR/>am fine...and u?<BR/>Sooper :)<BR/><BR/>I meant only four moons are massive enough to be discovered prior to the invention of modern telescope. The remaining small moons were discovered with the aid of modern telescopes.Hence only four could be spotted by ancient Indian astronomer and recorded it in religious symbols. //<BR/>appo , what u mean is...it was discovered and not a flash of insight..ok. I was assuming that they had insights into such matters.<BR/>So I was wondering how they missed the rest .<BR/>Now I got it.<BR/><BR/> There is one interesting collaborative research study carried out with help of Dalai lama's monks, scanned for the state of their brain waves when they were in deep compassionate meditation. <BR/>//<BR/> Okay..I will tell in my crude language what I understood from the book.<BR/> It talks about a state of conciousness rather semi conciousness where u r one with urself.<BR/><BR/>It is achieved when u r doing some task that also involves some repetitive work that one enjoys.<BR/> <BR/>for example...a rythmic swimming where u concentrate on the body movements. It has to be done steadily at a natural pace and the mind shd be oblivious to any other stimuli.<BR/><BR/>another example is doing embroidery..where each stitch is done with concentration and in a rythmic fashion.<BR/><BR/>One also lingers in Alpha state for a few minutes just before complete sleep takes over. Thats the semi concious sleepy state where ur mind is alert but not thinking anything.<BR/> <BR/>It has been proved that the mind gets flashes of genius or a fool-proof solution to some problems that has been lurking in the mind , during Alpha state.Sree's Viewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06382073679931162696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3595678898790255952.post-45763033744368929312007-07-17T09:57:00.000+05:302007-07-17T09:57:00.000+05:30hoi sanguuam fine...and u?[I noticed that Jupiter ...hoi sanguu<BR/><BR/>am fine...and u?<BR/><BR/>[I noticed that Jupiter although had 63 natural satellites/moons, only four of them were massive ]<BR/>this is where I was confused...how can u ignore the rest ?//<BR/>I meant only four moons are massive enough to be discovered prior to the invention of modern telescope.

I too have done similar research on our mythology see the post on Dasavatharam http://rprabhu.blogspot.com/2007/03/dasavatharam-its-message-to-humanity.html<BR/><BR/>Your interpretation is right. Some great messages have been hidden in our mythology. Finding them is the big part. For eg, the Brahmasutram tells about the origin of the universe, but understanding it asks for research and observation like what you have done.<BR/><BR/>Wonderful post ThiruR.
