Beauty of YOGA
Monday, September 22, 2008
Yoga refers to traditional physical and mental disciplines originating in India, to the goal achieved by those disciplines, and to one of the six schools of Hindu philosophy.
Major branches of a yoga include Raja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Hatha Yoga.Raja Yoga, compiled in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and known simply as yoga in the context of Hindu philosophy, is part of the Samkhya tradition.Many other Hindu texts discuss aspects of yoga, including the Vedas, Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the Shiva Samhita and so on.
Salute to old indian tradition, our centuries old knowledge and to our sacred Rishis, our Gurus who made it available for us. Be proud to be part of this civilization!! Be thankful to those who fight to preserve all these for the sake of the coming generations!
Laser Treatment will Cure AIDS and other diseases
Monday, August 18, 2008Physicists in Arizona State University have designed a laser technique Treatment which can destroy viruses and bacteria such as AIDS without damaging human cells and may also help reduce the spread of hospital infections such as MRSA.
Current UV treatment can cause ageing of the skin, damage to the DNA or skin cancer and are not very effective.
Femtosecond laser pulses, through a process called Impulsive Stimulated Raman Scattering (ISRS), produces lethal vibrations in the protein coat of microorganisms - destroying them. You can compare this effect to the high-pitched noise that shatters glass.
The physicists in Arizona have undertaken experiments to show that the vibrations excited by infrared lasers with carefully selected wavelengths and pulse widths do no damage to human cells, most likely because of the different structural compositions in the protein coats of human cells vis a vis bacteria and viruses.
So it looks like we will have a cure for AIDS and many other diseases and illnesses very soon.
