The Amazing Potentials of Pranic Energy ....

The enclosed text is an article from Akhand Jyoti Magazine (July-August  2003) explaining the role of Pranic Energy in the regulation of our body's physiological functioning, and in regulating our   intellectual capabilities and accomplishments. 

The process of Shaktipata followed by Enlightened Spiritual Masters is based on  the knowledge of the 'science of prana' in enhancing and endowing worthy disciples with extraordinary potentials and skills.
The article detailed below  also highlights examples of certain great Indian Spiritual Masters as well as Christian Saints who had mastered the science of 'Prana" and were therefore endowed by miraculous Spiritual healing powers.

Current medical research & evidence corroborating the evidence of "pranic energy" and its role in regulating our body's Biological and intellectual functioning is also cited in this wonderful article on pranic energy.

The Amazing Potentials of Pranic Energy:  At a superficial level blood appears to be the principal regulator of the activities of the body and the internal body functions. If we look a little deeper at the physiological, cellular and molecular levels, we find that the enormous functions of the body are run with the help of a specific bio-electrical energy, which is generated in the brain and supplied to all the parts and organs of the body through a fine network of nerves. This source of energy is as vital for the sustenance of the vivid activities of the body as the dynamo-battery for a motor. Under this analogy, blood is like petrol and bioelectricity is like the electrical energy of the motor (of the body system). A continuous supply and distribution of both together (blood+ bio electrical energy) advances the flow of life. The body-electricity is different from the electricity that we see being used around us in a variety of domestic machines and technological gadgets. The bio-electricity flowing in the brain and the entire body, which makes the uncountable physiological and bio-chemical and physical functions possible, is a manifestation of pranic energy. The prana indwelling in our body is a fraction of the eternal, cosmic prana. The active presence of this pranic energy in the body could be enhanced by mental and vital strength. Focused willpower and determined efforts enable outstanding performance of sportsmen, wonders of skilled talents, adventurous expeditions, etc. In a similar way, adept yoga-sadhanas effectuate a significant rise in the pranic electricity level at will. The enhanced level of prana also arouses the will power and the external and internal vigor of the sadhaka. The power of a small battery or dry cell is a tiny fraction of the enormous electrical power that could be produced in a grand powerhouse. A battery can be used for lighting a torch or for equivalent small jobs. But, if we need to run a big machine in a factory or light up a city, a huge power generator would be essential. Similarly, the ordinary level of prana may be sufficient for the sustenance of the routine physiological, metabolic and other normal functions of the body. It would be substantial for one's life if it simply revolves around eating, sleeping and reproducing. Should we require elevation from this animal(base) nature of our life, we would need to elevate, protect and creatively channelize our pranic energy. A still higher presence of the cosmic prana would be required for still greater, august purposes. Specific kinds of yoga-sadhanas are needed to attain the desired charging of pranic energy as per the specific aim.

Did you know that the Human Body carries a electrical charge of 10-16 amp.sec/cm2 ?

Enclosed here is a phenomenal excerpt that evidences the presence of the forces of bio magnetic energy in the earths core and its atmosphere. There are several studies done on astronauts and how they are impacted adversely when these fields of energy are not made available to them. The Universe is a scientifically calibrated system which was understood well by ancient sages who had harnessed these fields of bio energy present in our body and the atmosphere that surrounds us. In this fascinating book " The Astonishing Powers of Bio Physical Energy" the author Shriram Sharma Acharya brings back this knowledge and awareness to us in a readable and scientifically validated format.

Quoted Text:

"An unlimited resource of electrical energy forms the basis of Nature. The discovery of this fact and persistent efforts to utilize this immense power of Nature has been of great help in scientific and technological developments of our age. The  space  between  the  earth's  strata  and  the  Ionosphere  contains  positive potential of about 3x 105  volts while the earth's interior contains an equivalent amount of negative charge. On an average, every living organism on the earth bears a subtle electrical pressure of the order of 5 volts/meter created by the lowest layer of the ionosphere situated about 60 Km above the earth's surface. This potential generates an electric current in the human body which is a good conductor of electricity. The measurements by sophisticated instruments have shown that this current is of the magnitude of 10-16 amp.sec/cm2. At a first glance, this small quantity of current may appear to be negligible. Nevertheless, its effects are incredible because of the existence of some subtle power centers in the human-body as described below.

The scientific exposition presented here is focused on the subtle power centers in the human-body whose existence is manifested in the forms of bioelectricity and biomagnetism. The subtle bioelectrical energy provides the vital force for the body’s functioning and governs mental activities.  Human body simulates an 'ocean' consisting of infinitely many 'rivers' in the form of blood vessels and the nerves. Each respiratory cycle gives rise to high and low tides of currents in this 'Ocean' at an average rate of about 15 cycles/minute. The technique of electric power generation from the tides and cyclones in the sea water is well known today. However, very few people know that the electric ions inhaled from the surrounding atmosphere during each respiratory cycle give rise to a powerful electrical flow in our body. The ancient Indian sages (Rishis) had an in-depth knowledge about this current and its utilization for higher purposes.

Is the Human body an ocean of bio magnetic currents?

The following is a well researched excerpt on how the human body creates, sustains and maintains the bio electric current present in our body. The following quoted text is an excerpt from Chapter One of the immensely popular book "The Astonishing Power of The Bio Physical Energy of the Human Body" by Shriram Sharma Acharya.

Quoted Text:

''The human  body  is  a  wonderful  creation  of  the  supreme  natural  power.  It is endowed with all the physical and conscious energy forms existing in the universe. The living system of human body can be identified as a grand magnet or as a moving electric powerhouse. The human-magnet through its vital energy can affect and get affected  by  others.  An in-depth study and controlled utilization of such effects at (bio) physical and subtle levels offers challenging and important research problems in advanced science.

The  source  of  biomagnetism  in  our  body  gains  energy  from  the  earth's gravitation similar to what the earth gains from the sun. All the universal magnetic forces affect the biomagnetism of the human body. Vital energy levels of a person vary according to the biomagnetism of his/her body.

What is the Soul? Is it the power that fuels our mind and body?

Very often we use the term -  Mind, Body and Soul( Spirit). While the terms body and mind are easy to comprehend, we often struggle with the question - What is the Soul? Where from it comes and what does it look like? It is also said that the Soul is eternal and does not die - what does this mean?

To understand this and more we enclose here a passage from the book " Wonders Of Human Bio electricity" authored by Shriram Sharma Acharya.The passage quoted here is a condensed and modified version of Chapter 2 of the book - "The Soul as the source of Bio energy of the human body". 

This passage tells us that the Soul is the powerhouse that fuels our body and mind and is responsible for emotional and physical well being. If we can truly harness the poential of our soul we can maximize the purpose of our Lives.

Quoted Text:

"In all living beings, the  soul is the fountainhead of life energy (prana) and is responsible for all biological functions. Our brain is just an instrument of our  soul.

The potential of life energy present in us cannot to be assessed from the physical capability of the body but rather its mental and emotional capabilities. 
Though the human body is physically  smaller in size and its activities such as locomotion, lifting of a load, physical and mental exertion, are limited as compared to several members of the animal kingdom it should not be assumed that the potential of the source of bio energy in humans is of less significance as compared to animals. Quite the reverse actually.

The Impact of Positive and Negative Thoughts on ourselves and our environment!

We are what we Think. Positive thoughts bring peace and happiness into our lives, whilst negative thoughts  harm us and create disharmony and discord in  our immediate environment! Let us begin the discussion by defining - What are thoughts? We will follow this by    discussing  the impact of positive and negative thinking on ourselves and the environment around us.
The enclosed article is an excerpt from Chapter 13 of the book "Wonders of Human Bio-electricity" written by The Enlightened Sage -Acharya Shriram Sharma . The article has been elaborated upon further for the purpose of this blog here, and examples added to explain in detail the thoughts of the author.

Quoted text:

"Thoughts are Electro-Biomagnetic waves perpetually arising in the mind. Thoughts are produced by the bioelectricity generated in the powerhouse of the inner self.(If you rub your hands together than the warmth generated is because of the presence of bio electricity in the body). In the event of death, on the departure of the soul from the body, the individual ceases to think.

A thought is not merely a word given to signify an abstraction, concept or feeling. Thoughts have dimensions with specific properties detectable by instruments. (One such example of this kind of instrument is the polygraph- the lie detector, which detects and presents graphics of thoughts in different states of mind).

At each moment, wave fronts of thoughts are being propelled from the minds of people into outer space. Like radio waves it is possible to transmit and receive these thoughts (e.g. by way of telepathy). The dimensions of thoughts floating in the space can be known and interpreted by yogis through extrasensory perception.

The currents of these thought waves have wavelengths and frequencies like those produced in waves of water. However there is a difference in their magnitude and process of propagation. The waves produced in a pond of water on earth fan and die out at the periphery of the pond due to the resistance of the earth. On the other hand, the thought waves which are perennially in propagation in the infinitude of space (Aakash) are never lost." Thoughts do not die. For that reason when someone says something to hurt us, that hurt remains with us for a long time.

"Each thought has its own specific characteristic, and instead of being amalgamated into an undifferentiated ‘mass’; the thought retains forever its independent identity and existence. Within this structure, similar thoughts or ideas tend to be attracted from far and wide in space and form intense clusters of thoughts. The phenomenon is like water vapor evaporating from different reservoirs collecting to form clouds. (For e.g. the atmosphere in a jail, a courtroom, hospitals, a place of worship, a rock concert are all different).

When a thought arises, its frequency in the mind of the thinker interacts with those of the “masses of similar thoughts” (collective Ideospheres) in the space. The individual thought (the small magnet of the Ideosphere of an individual) enters the field of the large magnet (the mass of Ideospheres). In this way, through extra sensory perception (commonly understood as intuition), one comes to know many new aspects of a subject being deliberated upon. The information comes from pre existence in the collective mass of the Ideosphere of knowledge; i.e. ideas, thoughts and experiences of people, who had studied, pondered over and elaborated upon the subject in the past. 

While thinking about activities of philanthropy and welfare, one has a feeling of great peace and contentment. This satisfaction is derived from the collective experience of people who had performed similar deeds in the past; similarly one can experience pain and tension in places where collectively people congregate for treatment of a terminal disease, burial of a loved one etc." (For example one experiences peace, calm and happiness at places of worship, whereas one can experience a feeling of tension and sorrow near an abattoir, a cancer hospital or a burial ground/ cemetery). 

"Many great holy persons perform ardent ascetic exercises in seclusion, for creating an ambience for the welfare of mankind. While such holy persons are not seen actively engaged in any welfare activity, nevertheless the high frequency of virtuous thoughts transmitted by them in the course of deep meditation helps energize the masses towards virtuous activity, by constructing a relevant Ideosphere in the atmosphere. This generation of an Ideosphere spurs the masses into a single direction to an extent not feasible by collective physical endeavor of a million people.

For ages, many sages in India have been practicing devout asceticism in the solitude of caves and mountains of India. It would be fallacious to assume that they are doing so for personal benefit or for entry into heaven after death. As a matter of fact, these great men strive to make the bioelectric fields (Ideospheres) of their spiritual thoughts sufficiently strong to enable thought waves being telecast by them to be easily received by the minds of the common man." It is like planting a strong cell phone tower or a TV tower in different cities and areas so that strong telecommunication signals are received by everyone living in that area. 

Mahatma Gandhi was aware of the power of generating an ideology by creation of a relevant Ideosphere. He often said that the great revolution for India’s Independence did not require a large number of people. The objective could be achieved by a few leaders having sufficient inner strength and conviction (atma tej) to generate a movement/an Ideosphere of “non violence” and resistance and propagate this idea amongst the masses. We all know the outcome of that movement.

Today there are revolutions being fought in almost every country of the world. Concentration of wealth and corporatization of natural resources is leading to an uneven economic system where thousands are unemployed and displaced from the workforce globally. In the developing world millions go to sleep hungry and without shelter at night. Revolutions started on Facebook and the World Wide Web are taking the globe by storm. The scale and universality of the problems leading to this social unrest are unprecedented. There is an Ideosphere that has been generated to bring about change of the current social and economic system and that will lead in the future to a more balanced and just world. This is the result of the ‘Thought Revolution’ started in the Ideosphere of the world by the Parliament of sages of the world, living in their astral format in the deep recesses of the Himalayas.

"One benefits by thinking good and suffers from the negative consequences generated by bad thoughts. Persons habituated into feelings of jealousy, anger and destructive thinking tap into an Ideosphere of negative thinking and invite ill will and misery upon themselves. The power of positive thinking and thinking good thoughts cannot be emphasized enough. An evil or negative thought always produces an adverse reaction in the other person. It also contributes to the pollution of the universal thought bank.

It would be a remarkable service to mankind if we all collectively thought about the welfare of all people in the world and endeavored to spread this thought."
