Spiritual Practices and Scientific Research - 2

[Guest guest]

Dear ALL,

 

Namaste.

 

By itself there are scores of research laboratories all over the world.

Billions of dollars are used up to construct these well equipped research

institutes. In them medical sciences and material sciences are researched

into scientifically. Great scientists right from the discovery of penicillin

to a test tube baby have persevered hard to serve mankind in an amazing

manner. They have lived lives akin to that of great saints, sages and Rishis

who were known for their penance and austerities. Many research papers have

been published and many more will be published in future. Every scientist

while taking up a research project accepts in his/her heart of hearts that

theirs is a humble effort. They may face disappointment or attain their goal

after undergoing many failed experiments. Thus each scientist like a sports

person takes up scientific projects gamely. Scientific research is nothing

but a spiritual endeavor. Their underling aim is nothing but service to

world humanity/beings. But alas that seriousness and focus shown towards

research of material science was not shown towards proving the scientific

nature of spiritual principles by modern day scientists. It serves no

purpose by either eulogizing or demeaning spiritual precepts in a

superficial manner. It is hence that Brahmavarchas Research Institute took

up this onerous task of testing ancient spiritual tenets in well equipped

scientific research laboratories. We have realized that without giving

scientific proof of the great importance of spirituality no one in this

modern age of information technology is going to imbibe it. Thus the world

will miss at their own peril great spiritual principles that can uplift

world humanity both materially and spiritually.

 

Within this realm stray and scattered efforts have been made. Special

emphasis has been laid on Parapsychology. In the western world the

scientific basis of Extrasensory Potential (ESP) hearing sounds from great

distances, seeing things at great distances etc is being researched into on

a very gigantic scale. If the aim is merely idle curiosity the principle can

never be understood deeply. Indian Spirituality not only proclaims the

powerful nature of such capabilities but has also elucidated well designed

methods (Yoga etc) that basically cover spiritual practices (Sadhana). In

reality this arena is very widespread. The mysterious subtle layers of the

human body and the wondrous aspects of this gigantic cosmos stand before us

with infinite aspects of research. The need of the hour today is to place it

in front of world humanity using sound logic, precepts and scientific proof.

Our Brahmavarchas Research Institute has taken up this great challenge and

will prove the same after intense experimentation and research studies.
