Dear ALL,

 

 

*Vedic Sanskars : Influence Chromosomes -1** *

 

As per the research findings of the modern sciences, the current civilized

and developed state of man is a result of a long series of evolutionary

changes. This has taken about 400 to 500 thousand years for the ascent of

human race to the present state and women have made significant

contributions in civilizing the primeval humans. This important role played

by women is getting clearer and better established by the discoveries in the

field of human genomics.

 

It is a well-known scientific fact that offsprings acquire good and bad

qualities of their ancestors through the chromosomes. The language of genes

written in the chromosomes of the cells of the offspring determines his/her

form, color, body structure and other attributes and characteristics. The

cells in human body have 46 chromosomes. Among these, 23 chromosomes come

from the mother and the other 23 come from the father. On one side these

chromosomes display the specific qualities and attributes of the offspring,

and on the other side they also determine whether or not the offspring would

be afflicted by any of the 2000 diseases that have been considered as

genetic. These include several kinds of cancers and other fatal ailments.

 

The creator of this world has written specific messages in the chemical

language of chromosomes. About 32.5 million letters of these genetic codes

have been read and the human genome (compendium of genes) has been made

available on the Internet. However, only about 40 thousand genes of these

have been identified till date. It is still not known what kinds of roles

most of these genes play in the human body. Till date about 95 percent of

the genome is uncharacterized and because of the redundancy of its sequence

across the human population, many researchers consider that they are not of

any significant use in Nature's molecular machinery.

 

But thinkers and scientists who look at the aspects of human consciousness with

equanimity do not agree with this view. The wise men who have faith in

synergy of science and spirituality believe that extrasensory capabilities

and the secrets of spiritual powers may be hidden within these 95 percent

unknown DNAs (Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid). It is known that DNA is that super

chemical which forms a letter of the genomic language by picking up any

three of the four nucleotides – Adenine (A), Thiamine (T), Guanine (G), and

Cytosine ©. Definite sequences of these letters constitute a word in the

form of 20 amino acids. A gene is that sentence which translates into some

form of protein or the other. For this reason after human genomics, research

is now being carried out on human proteomics in which Indian scientists are

also participating.

 

Among the 23 pairs of chromosomes in human body, X- and Y-chromosomes are

included which determine sex. If the foetus receives one X and one Y

chromosome, it takes the form and shape of a boy and if both the chromosomes

are X then the foetus takes the form of a girl. Woman always has X-X

chromosomes so she contributes X chromosomes only and Y chromosome exists in

man's body only. So man plays a decisive role in determining whether the

offspring would be a boy or a girl.

 

It has now been established by scientific research that the diversified

quality of creativity that exists in human race has its origin in woman.

According to this, the source of creativity in human beings is the X

chromosome, which is the mother's contribution. How did it happen that

boundless human capabilities of art and science got tied up in the X

chromosome? This might have something to do with the natural power of

creation gifted to the women and the inference, drawn by evolutionary

statisticians that most of the bright and talented men and women choose only

compatible counterparts so the genetic recombination in the mating process

would have led to compounded accumulation of these qualities within the X

chromosome. In fact, all men and women have X chromosomes. Women have two

and men have one X chromosome, meaning that within each person infinite

capabilities of creativity exist, but these blossom up only when they are

nurtured with good education, virtuous sanskara (deep mental impressions)

and conducive environment.

IN any case the hypothesis appears valid that if women had not accumulated

the genes of creativity within their X chromosomes, human beings would still

be jumping around in jungles like monkeys and the glorious flowers of

civilization and culture would never have blossomed in human life. In view

of the recent finding of a direct relationship between mental disorders and

the X chromosome it appears that most of the mental disorders are also

transmitted by the mother into her offspring via her X chromosome. A

research hypothesis was proposed 30 years back by Dr. Robert Lehrke at the

Brainerd State Hospital located in Brainerd, Minnesota, USA, that several

genes that are related to human intellect are located within the X

chromosome.

 

Noted geneticists Dr Horst Hameister and U. Zechner from Germany have

confirmed the above hypothesis by their research work and have published

their results in the 17th edition of 'Trends in Genetics'. According to

them, for the developed state the human mind is in today, humanity is

indebted to those great X chromosome bearing women who chose intelligent,

handsome and brave men not for their outward appearance and strength but for

their virtues, knowledge and intelligence. If they had kept on choosing

stupid but handsome men or unintelligent bodybuilders then humans would not

have been able to post so many records in the areas of knowledge and science

which they continue to do now. In their research conclusions they write that

those genes whose abnormal condition creates mental disorders, their normal

(homologous to those in the healthy people) form would be responsible for

the normal state of human mind too.

 

This group of researchers, after extensive churning of the genomic database

from the Internet, has found 958 genes, which are related to mental

disorders, and 202 of these were related to the X chromosome. Though this

amounts to just 4 percent of all the human genome, the largest number of

genes related to mental disorders and physical abnormalities were found on

the X chromosomes only. The genes responsible for these abnormalities were

found 2.5 times more on the X chromosomes as compared to any other

chromosomes. At the same time all these genes were not in their original

form (as in people with healthy minds) but in an altered or mutated form.

However if they were in their original form they would have produced a

normal child. Even if these kinds of genes are distributed over all 23

chromosomes, the genes related to mental ailments are present almost 31

times more on the X chromosome.

 

Thus the secrets of the future of a child are largely hidden in the genes

and womb of its mother. To ensure that the state of the genes on X

chromosomes is fertile for the best characteristics (traits) it is necessary

that desirable food and lifestyle, sanskara and ambience be provided to the

'would be mothers'. Of the sixteen Vedic Sacraments (Shodas Sanskars1)

propounded by the rishis, the Punsavan and Jatkarma Sanskars for the

expectant mothers are meant for this very purpose. These are devised with

the sublime scientific view of conditioning the genetic environment.

 

The Shodas Sanskaras are excellent experiments on sadhana and mantra- and

yagya- therapy; the rituals and teachings implied by them are also aimed at

creating appropriate ambience and effectuate psychological conditioning of

the persons whose sanskara is being performed. The Charu (an Ayurvedic

preparation with milk + special kinds of herbs) cooked in yagya fire and

'treated' with mantras during the Punsavan and Jatkarma Samskars is also

required to be drunk by the mother afterwards. This is assumed to have

soothing effects on the growing brain and overall health of the foetus.

According to the experts of the deep knowledge of Himalayan herbs/plant

medicines and yagya therapy, some special charus, medicinal woods and plant

medicines also have potentials to rectify genetic aberrations. Thoughtful

men and women who aspire for children who would grow up into ideal citizens

must understand this fact and must not delay or procrastinate in adopting

the life styles propounded by the ancient Indian sages.
