IntroductionSince time immemorial, certain spots have exerted a mysterious attraction on scores of people around the world. All ancient civilizations recognized the existence of these sites, and marked their geographic locations in ways they could best imagine. Those places are familiar to us all; they include the magnificent temples of India, Jerusalem, and Mecca. Even the Stonehenge, Machu Picchu and the Pyramids are nothing but structures that have been constructed at certain spots that have been cognized to have certain special potencies with reference to Human welfare. Such places which have been identified to have special significance to humans have been revered as sacred places. They are found across the globe in the form of sacred rivers, mountains, healing springs, forest grooves and places of mythological interest where divine revelations were witnessed. Ancient legends and even the hard core scientific minds tell of “bizarre” experiences that people have had while at these sacred places. While classical physics of the recent past couldn’t explain these apparently “bizarre” phenomenons, the latest developments in physics such as Quantum field theory have brought us to the door step of true understanding of our selves in the cosmos. Scientists and the common man at the level of Classical Physics can seldom imagine the magnitude of importance of such places and therefore disregard and ignore the miraculous phenomena which keep occurring at the holy places. They have even termed these practices as superstitious, and branded the common folks as foolish, though these sacred places have continued to be the most visited places on the globe. What is the root cause of the pilgrimage tradition that is an integral part of all religions? What do the mythological legends of the sacred sites reveal?
Mythological stories and Physiological Realities Certain places were recognized by sages and prophets as radiating cosmic power, or energy. Gods, Spirits and Angels were known to have appeared and consecrated specific geographical locations. There have been reports of blessed Pilgrims experiencing miracles of healing of mind, body and soul. The lucky few have had the solutions to perplexing problems. These phenomena were not uniform to all. These apparent discrepancies lead to disbelief among the unlucky many who were not the beneficiaries of the cosmic stuff. To the enlightened and humble soul, the founding myths of the sacred spots are nothing but coded secrets of Physiological realities revealing the true character, utility or importance of particular places that aided ultimately in the transformation of human consciousness. In these ages of Hi-Tec gadgetry it is easy to explain certain processes that occur in side our bodies as we can take recourse to microscopes, PET scan and many more stupefying instruments. But in those good old days, wise people who had got knowledge were left with nothing concrete to explain, but stories that could at best associate the truth with vivid scenarios, so that the people could comprehend with ease. No more Miracles! It is known to many believers that miracles do not happen in contradiction to nature but only in contradiction to what we presently know of nature.
Luckily we are at a point of time where the science of the modern times has fully matured to comprehend the science of the ancients. The prophecy of Swami Vivekananda that science and religion will meet one day has come true now. The new science of Archaeoastronomy has brought to focus the remarkable evidence that almost all ancient pilgrimage sites are topographically situated in precise alignment with certain astronomical bodies. The knowledge of networking of cosmic astrology and sacred geography is a heritage that is common to all cultures. The seers of the ancient times have recognized that there is an intricate galactic symphony of subtle forces operating upon our planet and hence on our selves, by virtue of the cyclical orbits and movements of numerous heavenly bodies that precisely map the space. The sacred places, because of their strategic location, emanate profound energetic celestial frequencies that serve as ideal portals where humans may easily access those life supporting frequencies.
The times most suited to access these holy spots are the particular dates that are religiously followed in each of their founding myths as festivals that actually charges ones physiology with power and energy. In India we find the oldest continually operating pilgrimage tradition in the entire world. Top Research Overview
Sacred Pilgrim Sites Of the World Correlated With Neurological Centers In Human Nervous System. Focus: Ancient Temples Of India Correlated With Neurological Centers In The Brain
Most of the intellectuals, educated in modern science, would certainly include themselves among the majority, who at times do wonder at the teeming masses in the major temples of India and at other sacred pilgrim sites the world over, competing for and content with even a split second view of the deity or the sacred object, never mind the ever spiraling congested queues, be it in the wee hours of winter or in the noon of a scorching summer. Holding on to this view, one could prefer to be left out of one of Mother Nature’s countless and effortless ways to re-invigorate and protect one’s health. An young researcher Dr. J. Satish Kumar from India, inspired by His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, has come out with startling correlations between the Human Brain & the Geography of India; thus explaining why ancient temples dedicated to different Vedic gods are found in particular geographical locations of India. For instance, his research explains why India is impregnated with spiritual mysteries through its extensive network of sacred temples , why there are relatively few such networks is other parts of the world, why in India Lord Subramanya’s traditional abode is in the region of Tamilnadu; why the great Sun Temple is in Konark, Orissa; why Lord Krishna’s Temple is in Guruvayoor, Kerala and so on. The extension of this correlation to other pilgrim sites in the different parts of the world with human nervous system is also beginning to be meaningful. With this discovery we can understand that all religious scriptures and associated Pilgrim Centers (Neurological Centers) are different chapters (Parts) in the one Grand Scripture (Human Nervous System) of the Almighty. Dr. Satish’s research work can be understood when one has had the opportunity to know of the path breaking discovery, that the Human Physiology is an expression of Veda and Vedic Literature by Prof. Tony Nader M.D., Ph.D., under the guidance of His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Maharishi has had far insights into the holistic functioning of a universe and had decades back categorically stated that the Veda is the basis of the Physical human body and has also predicted the present scientific developments in the realm of Quantum Physics. Also, with reference to the present discovery of Dr. Satish, in one of Maharishi’s book, “ The Doctor’s forum, of Natural law & national law”, Maharishiji had long back stated that the Physical shape of India is the spiraling shape of RIK Veda. The total potential of Natural law has expressed itself in the shape of India. RIK Veda forms the physiology of India, RIK Veda gives a physiological structure to India. Thanks to the great work of Prof. Tony Nader, which proves scientifically that the impulses of RIK Veda represents the Holistic functioning of the physiology, particularly the Nervous system, Dr. Satish could look for and successfully correlate most of the ancient temples in the land of India with neurological centers in the Brain, and thus give scientific validation to Maharishiji’s words. Dr. Satish says that basically even the outline map of the ancient undivided India resembles the shape of the Human Brain in its sagittal view. He adds on that India has been known as the land of Vedas, not alone for its traditional role in preserving the Vedas by the chanting Vedic pundits, but primarily for the fact that its geography, as Maharishiji’s Quote indicates, has been etched out by the very same cosmic forces, whose impulses forms the human Physiology too.
When the above mentioned facts are viewed in the context of the recent discovery of the UNIFIED FIELD by Modern Science as the basis of all laws of nature, it could be conjectured that holy pilgrimage centers with temples are situated in “Active Spots” where tremendous cosmic forces are at play since eternity, whose structuring intelligence forms and operates the corresponding centers in our nervous system. In common terminology the word “grace” has been used to denote the enlivening aspect of the cosmic forces, which has been radiating life supporting qualities and nourishing the physiology of individuals, coming with in its vicinity. Of particular significance is Prof. Tony Nader’s observation in his work, which states that reading particular sections of Veda & Vedic literature could enliven the corresponding parts in our Physiology. If the foresaid is true, then undertaking pilgrimages to ancient shrines of different Vedic deities, situated in cosmically strategic spots could also accomplish the same, for RIK Veda is at the basis of our human Physiology and it is that which gives a physiological structure to India too. This is how undertaking pilgrimages which has been a part of the traditions of all religions since the ancient times, enlivens the corresponding neurological correlate in our physiology, besides promoting general well being, thus largely preventing and even curing ailments.
This is supported by references in Ayurveda - especially the CHARAKA SAMHITA. In it, Daiva Vyapashraya - Divine or religious therapy includes pilgrimages (Gamana) among other subtle religious methods to ward off negative influence and to promote those which are good. Top The Basis of the present discovery 1. Rik Veda is at the basis of the physiology (Geography) of India.
- Vedas quoted by Maharishi
2. Rik Veda is at the basis of the holistic functioning of the human physiology (i.e.) the nervous system with special reference to brain.
- Maharaja Nader Ram From 1 & 2, existence of an association between Geography of India & the human brain is Logical. To quote Maharishi, "The physical shape of India is the spiraling shape of - RIK Veda. The total potential of Natural law has expressed itself in the shape of India. RIK Veda forms the physiology of India. RIK Veda gives a physiological structure to India - India represents the holistic structure of RIK Veda in which reside the Devas - the Administrators of the Universe.”
- Doctors' forum of Natural law & National law. Maharishiji's oft repeated words that all the Devas reside in our brain, when correlated with the above mentioned quote, emphasizing that Bharath is the place where all the Devas reside, leads us PRECISELY to correlate the land of Bharath with the human brain. Also when the previously mentioned quote is viewed in the context of the Discovery of Veda & Vedic literature in human physiology by Prof.Tony Nader, it is simple to find a correlation between the human brain and the geographical features with special reference to particular areas of spiritual significance in the form of Ancient Temples & the associated Holy Pilgrimage centers scattered meaningfully throughout the span of our Veda Bhumi Bharath. To start our fascinating journey into the Veda Bhumi Bharath in the context of Physiology, it is pertinent to consider the sagittal section of the Brain exposing the Medial side of the left hemisphere & the left brain stem of an individual facing east, for its outline exactly superimposes on the outline of the map of our Ancient undivided Bharath.
Significant reasons for considering the left brain facing east:
(1) Left brain dominance with respect to motor function, including speech & action is well known.
(2) Brain function is more integrated when facing east
Ref: Progress in Neurobiology 13 (1979):(419 to 439); :Journal of Neuroscience15(9) (1995):6260-6270.
His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's divine inspiration & guidance has yet again brought to light a new facet confirming that Bharath (India) is indeed the "Veda Bhumi" not only for its well known role in preserving the Vedas by the oral tradition of Vedic recitation, but primarily and significantly for its strategic geographic features with special reference to the location of the Great Ancient Spiritual Centers (Temples), that has amazing correlation to the physiology & anatomy of the Human Brain. Top Analogy Description OUTLINE GEOGRAPHY OF BHARATH & THE SHAPE OF HUMAN BRAIN
In Skanda 11, chapter I of Srimad Bhagavatham, Suka gives a description of the Virat Rupa, saying that the mountains are His bones.
Thus the presence of huge mountain ranges including the Great Himalayas, which forms a headgear like structure over the North of Bharath, can be correlated to the cranial bones of the skull that protectively encloses the Brain.
Top Correlation of Vedic Devathas, Neurological centers in Human Brain and the Geographical Location of Temples Maharashtra and Mahaganapathy’s association since time immemorial revealed scientifically through the perspective of physiology (an expression of Veda & Vedic literature)
The Major part of the Brain stem with most of its vital nuclei (which has already been
correlated by Prof. Tony Nader with Lord Ganapathy both structurally & functionally) exactly superimposes over the region of Maharashtra, as seen in Analogy.
This provides the required answer for the exclusive association of Maharashtra with Mahaganpathy. Thus, the fervor in which Ganapathy is worshipped & the Ganapathy Chathurthi festivities are celebrated in Maharashtra is understandable.
Tamilnadu and lord Subramanya’s association since time immemorial revealed scientifically through the perspective of physiology (an expression of Veda & Vedic literature)
Lord Subramanya is known as the younger brother of Lord Ganapathy. As His relationship with Lord Ganapathy indicates, He is to be a little away from His parents, Shiva & Parvathy residing at Kailas in the North of India. Hence Lord Subramanya's traditional abode is further down to the south of Maharashtra in the state of Tamilnadu.
Of particular significance is Lord Subramanya's traditional association with Krithika Nakshatra, of which even Shri.Kandhar Sashti Kavasham - a set of hymns in Tamil language, dedicated to Lord Subramanya refers about.
In the sagittal section of the brainstem, showing the one to one relationship of its 27 internal structures to the 27 Nakshatras, the Krithika Nakshatra is placed down near the end of the Brain stem, which when superimposed on the Map of Bharath; coincide with the state of Tamilnadu - the traditional abode of lord Subramanya.
Moreover the 6 components of the Krithika Nakshatra (as shown in the book, "Human Physiology - expression of Veda & Vedic literature) correspond to the six temples in various regions of Tamilnadu, which are the traditional abodes of Lord Subramanya.
Also the pattern of the constellation of the six Nakshatras (as seen in sagittal section of the left hemisphere) is comparable to the location of the six abodes of Lord Subramanya in Southern India. Lord Subramanya can now be understood as the Lord of the anterior part of the Lower Brain Stem & the Spinal Cord.
And since these parts are involved in executing the orders received from the higher centers, Lord Subramanya is also known as the COMMANDER - IN - CHIEF of the Gods.
Lord Subramanya is seated in a PEACOCK. This can be understood, if the coronal section of the brain is visualized with Krithika Nakshatra representing Lord Subramanya in the lower Brain Stem.
Lord Subramanya's flag bears the symbol of a cock. The Vedic lore behind it is that, Lord Subramanya fought against, defeated the demons and usurped their flag & made it His.
This eternal truth is even now enacted in Tiruchendur (one of the 6 abodes of Lord Subramanya) on the Soorasamharam day, when scores of devotes throng the seaside temple and enact this eternal drama with gigantic puppet demons & the idol of Lord Subramanya.
Guruvayoor in Kerala state & lord Krishna’s association since time immemorial revealed scientifically through the perspective of physiology (an expression of Veda & Vedic literature)
There is a popular Ancient Temple of Lord Krishna in Guruvayoor in the southern state of Kerala. It is also called as the "Dwaraka of South'. It is said that, the glory of Guruvayoor was revealed by sage Dattatraya to King Janamejaya, the son of Parikshit. According to the sage, the image at Guruvayoor was originally worshipped by Brahma. He narrated how it came to be worshipped by the Lord himself at Dwaraka, how it was rescued from the great deluge & finally installed at Guruvayoor to protect mankind from the evils of Kaliyuga*.
Traditionally Lord Krishna is associated with Rohini Nakshatra. When the sagittal section of the brain stem is considered, Rohini Nakshatra is found postero-inferiorly to Krithika Nakshatra & its location correlates to Kerala in the analogy picture of the brain & the map of Bharath.
