~*MANTRA*~

è A group of words collected together making a sentence in the form of a poem for praising the God i.e., requesting him for something in Sanskrit language only infront of a natural element is known as a Mantra.
è The mantra spreads all over the universe,a set of vibrations or waves that effect the system & surroundings of the universe in a good manner if & only if the mantra meaning is of a good meaning, and bad iff mantra means to be bad for sake of greedy or selfishness.
è The mantra actually functions from ear to brain,then to the whole physical body (it vibrates with respect to the mantra).
è Similarily,the mantras actually functions from atom to atom i.e., it vibrates them.
è The mantra also functions most powerful on the astral body than the physical body,hence the seven yogic chakras of the astral body rotate with the help of the oxygen and generates us the kundalini power & energy for both astral & physical body.
è Generally,the mantras that effect the astral body are known as the Beejamantras.
Eg:-Om,Shree,Hreem,Aiem,Raam,etc,.
àThe most powerful beejamantra among is “raam”.
è The mantra chanting or just listening to it is a process of meditation known as Mantra Meditation or Transcendental Meditation.
è By chanting a mantra,since they are of a long length of almost ,we will have to chant it through out till it’s ending word from starting,we say by stopping our breath and after we complete reading it we take the breath i.e., a deep inhaler & simultaneously a deep exhale.This is known as pranaayama.
è If this gets habituated i.e., chanting of various mantras from various vedic literatures,then the breath of our’s remains a deeper one.
è Our breath per minute decreases,hence life span increases.
è Speaking the tough Sanskrit words (spelling),our concentration increases.
è We have to concentrate every moment (not a second) to read a Sanskrit mantra.
è As we will be made to remember a lot of mantras available in various vedic literatures,our memory power increases.
è The meaning of the mantras may teach us something.
è The mantra is the medium for life force or praana and kundalini energy.
è The life force is nothing but oxygen in air that we intake.
è There are many techniques or methods in Hinduism that are scientific.
è Everything around us from a minute particle to the universe is scientific.


VEDIC LAW

Bhaskaracharya states, "Objects fall on the earth due to a force of attraction by the earth. Therefore, the earth, planets, constellations, moon and sun are held in orbit due to this force."

VEDIC CHEMISTRY

Anu and Parmanu
It was Kanada who first propounded the that the Parmanu (atom) was an indestrutible particle of matter. According to the material universe is made up of Kana. When matter is divided and sudivided, we reach a stage beyond which no division is possible, the undivisible element of matter is Parmanu. Kanada explained that this indivisible, indestructible y cannot be sensed through any human organ.
In saying that there are different types of Parmanu for the five Pancha Mahabhootas, Earth, water, fire, air and ether. Each Parmanu has a peculiar property which depends, on the substance to which it belongs . It was because of this conception of peculiarity of Parmanu (atoms) that this theory unded by Kanada came to be known Vaisheshika-Sutra (Peculiarity Aphorisms). In this context Kanada seems to arrived at conclusions which were surpassed only many centuries after him.
According to Kanada, an object appears to be heavy under water than it does in air because the density of atoms in water is more than in air. The additional density of , in water, Kanada said, takes on part of the weight of an object, hence we feel only a part of its total weight, while in air, the lesser density of atoms results in a lesser part of an object's weight being picked by air, hence we feel the object to be heavier in air than what is was when under the water. In saying this, in a very elementary but important way, Kanada foreshadowed Archimedes' theory that a body immersed in a fluid is subject to an upward force equal in magnitude to the weight of the fluid it displaces. Kanada's idea also had shades of relativity in it which was propounded by Einstien in our times.
About his ideas on atom, Kanada observed that an inherent urge made one Parmanu combine with another. When two Parmanu belonging to one class of substance combined, a dwinuka (binary molecule) was the result. This dwinuka had properties similar to the two parent Parmanu. In the material universe, according to him, Parmanu be longing to different classes of substances combine in different combinations giving us a variety of dwinuka, which in other words means different types of substances. Apart from such combination of different Parmanu, Kanada also put forth the idea of chemical changes occuring because of various factors. He claimed that variation in temperature could bring about such changes.
He cited the examples of blackening of a new earthen pot and the ripening of fruit to illustrate the chemical change in substances brought about by the heat. Thus according to Kanada all substances, all matter that existed in the universe was formed of Parmanu (atoms). The variations in the matter reflected the peculiarity of the Parmanu which constituted that particular matter, the variety of combinations between different types of Parmanu and the effect on them of variation in temperature.

VEDIC PHYSICS

The concept of the atom in ancient India derives from the classification of the material world in five basic elements by Indian philosophers. This classification existed since Vedic times . The elements were the earth (prithvi), fire (agni), air (vayu), water (jaal) and ether or space (aksha). The elements were associated with human sensory perceptions: smell, touch, vision, taste and ether/space respectively. Later, Buddhist philosophers replaced ether/space with life, joy and sorrow.
Ancient Indian philosophers believed that all elements except ether were physically palpable and hence comprised of minuscule particles. The smallest particle, which could not be subdivided, was called paramanu in Sanskrit (shortened to parmanu), from parama (ultimate or beyond) and anu (atom). Thus, "paramanu" literally means "beyond atom" and this was a concept at an abstract level which suggested the possibility of splitting atoms, which is now the source of atomic energy. However, the term "atom" should not be conflated with the concept of atom as it is understood today.
The Indian philosopher Kanada was the first person who went deep systematically in such theorization. Another Indian philosopher, Pakudha Katyayana, a contemporary of Buddha, also propounded the ideas of atomic constitution of the material world. All these were based on logic and philosophy and lacked any empirical basis for want of commensurate technology.
Similarly, the principle of relativity (not to be confused with Einstein's theory of relativity) was available in an embryonic form in the ancient Indian philosophical concept of "sapekshavadam" , literally "theory of relativity" in Sanskrit. For reference, see: Indian relativity
"Just as a man in a boat sees the trees on the bank move in the opposite direction, so an observer on the equator sees the stationary stars as moving precisely toward the west."
-Relativity of motion.
