“One, who performs his duty without attachment, surrendering the results unto the Supreme God, is not affected by sinful action, as the lotus leaf is untouched by water.”
“That is the way of the spiritual and godly life, after attaining which a man is not bewildered. Being so situated, even at the hour of death, one can enter into the kingdom of God.”
“One who is not disturbed in spite of the threefold miseries, who is not elated when there is happiness, and who is free from attachment, fear and anger, is called a sage of steady mind.”
“Whatever action is performed by a great man, common men follow in his footsteps. And whatever standards he sets by exemplary acts, all the world pursues.”
These above quotes are from the Holy Book of one of the world’s oldest and third largest religion Hinduism’s one of the most respected and holy book Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta. But, I discovered these noble verses first time in my life while looking for some outstanding communities to write a review and I came across one most beautiful, impressive and certainly a community which made my mind “cool”, tranquil and blissful.
Shrimad Bhagawad Gita a community on orkut is not different than many similar communities of same name and objectives who are actively spreading the sayings of Lord Krishna to Arjuna in the Holy book of Shrimad Bhagawad Gita. Although, only this particular community grabbed my attention because of the dedication and strength of unity and love community members are sharing with each other. Also, it is one of the biggest among all other with more than 70,000 members; Shrimad Bhagawad Gita community is a not only a place of religious devotees but also welcome those who have queries, doubts or problems in their worldly affairs or those who are interested in learning and sharing their thoughts.
Created on 13th February 2004, Shrimad Bhagawad Gita community on orkut plays a major role in helping people and making social networking more meaningful than ever. The creator of the community one Mr. Ted Rallis when realized that he could not give his time and dedication since he was occupied with other commitments he transferred the community ownership to one very active member Gaurav Mittal. In Gaurav’s ownership Shrimad Bhagawad Geeta community keeps on flourishing till mid 2008 but unfortunately Gaurav Mittal was also came under other work pressure and studies. Amritam a new community owner of orkut’s most prestigious and extremely spiritual community is working for a voluntary organization dedicated to Swami Vivekananda in Kerala (India).
When asked “what is Shrimad Bhagavad Gita to you?” in an e-mail conversation with amritam, Amritam said “We all of have to start our spiritual journey some time or other, yes this has been a daily divine digest for me to lead an ideal life for so many years. I seek inspiration from two sources one is from Srimad Bhagavad Gita and the other is from Swami Vivekananda’s words.”
Like Amritam, most of the community members think same and tries to make their days, years and whole life on the path of the holy teachings of Lord Krishna. Shrimad Bhagavad Gita is a solution for all the problems that society faces today, said Amritam.
Besides all sharing and learning of verses the community moderators are also trying to conduct some very interesting quizzes and competitions to make people involve more proactively. Though, the objective is only to encourage the discussions of the teachings of Srimad Bhagavad Gita spread in its various chapters. The community is mainly divided into two major groups of people, one who are well sound with the Holy Book and others who seeks knowledge and information to clear their doubts or to get more precise information, which makes this community“Knowledge Bank”. Other than the main objective of the community Srimad Bhagawad Gita community also welcome the thoughts and teachings of other different Hindu school of thoughts like Advaita, Dvaita, Vishistadvaita as well as Metaphysical interpretations of the Gita in many forum threads where any one can get knowledge from various sources.
Managing such a big community is really a challenge for community owner and a team of moderators. Luckily, this community has some outstanding and most dedicated team of mods who maintain the community standard, its cleanliness and rules of the community strictly. Amritam gives all the credits of a brilliant team work and management to the team of moderators.
Mainly, youths from India are in mainstream and comprising the whole community. This shows the religious and spiritual awareness or need among the young Indian generation who found a best virtual place for sacred teachings. Definitely, learning with and from so many people was not so easy ever before.Thanks to social networking sites like orkut.
There are many “Srimad Bhagawad Gita” communities on orkut but none of the community owners felt any competition or threat with each other like other technical or entertaining communities always have big clash over its inventiveness. The purpose is to serve people, enlighten the mind and soul and to spread peace and love among every faith and religion. With such a noble and pious intention, I think it is one of the best efforts to clean out hatred and envy.
Congratulations! To members, moderators and all ex-community owners and Amritam the present head of the community for bringing out something so meaningful and bright in the world of detestation and terror.

Amritam,

COMPREHENSIVE VIEW OF SCIENCE OF RELIGION (THEOLOGY)
I have written following two papers which may lead to the realization for a higher theory of everything:
(i) Gravitation Force is the Ultimate Creator,
(1st Int. Conf. on Revival of Traditional Yoga, Lonavla Yoga Institute, Lonavla, January, 2006)
(ii) In Scientific Terminology, Source of Gravitational Wave is God
(2nd World Congress on Vedic Science, BHU, Varanasi, Feb 2007)
I have presented these two papers at the two different International Conferences. I am now submitting some views for being considered for Unified Field Theory
From Scriptures:
The Current which manifested in the beginning of the creation is the Current of Sabda (Sound) and of Chaitanya (Consciousness). From whom that Current issued forth is known as Soami (Supreme Being). This Current, by turning back can merge again in the Holy Feet of Supreme Being. The entire creation manifested from this current and is sustained with its energy and when the Current of the Holy Feet is withdrawn, the creation ceases to exist.This Current of the Holy Feet is the Reservoir of all energy, tastes and pleasures, knowledge, skill, shapes, forces and light etc. etc. and of the entire creation, is also the Creator of all of them.
From Science:
Gravitation Force is the cause of manifestation of the creation (birth of planets, stars), its sustenance and when it is withdrawn towards centre or source the entire creation ceases to exist. Photons have originated from gravitons. In black holes photons merge into gravitons. In Black Holes, Gravitational Force is so high that it does not allow even light to escape. What does it mean then? It simply means that the gravitational force at black-holes attracts light towards it with much greater velocity than the speed of light. In fact, all forces including electromagnetic force, material force (strong and weak nuclear force) all merge into gravitational force in black-holes and becomes one force there and when the creational process starts again from a Black-Hole all the forces appear (manifest) again and descends downwards to create billions of stars, planets, satellite, asteroids and various life forms.
Hence it can be assumed that the Current of Chaitanya (Consciousness) and Gravitational Wave are the two names of the same Supreme Essence (Seed) which has brought forth the entire creation.
All cosmological researches should be conducted keeping in view of the following philosophical facts:
It has been stated in Bible (John I-1) “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God,”
Mohammedans hold that God uttered ‘Kun’ (i.e. ‘Came into being’) and the creation came into being (Holy Quran, Sur. Bakr (II.117).
In Chhandogya Upanishad it is written “Tadaikshat bahu syam prajayeyeti” (VI-2-iii) i.e. “It thought (desired) Would that I were many! Let me procreate myself!” The Aitareya Upanishad says,”Sa ikshat ‘lokannusrija’ iti (I-1-i) i.e. “He bethought himself (desired) – ‘Let me create worlds’, etc. etc.
It is written in Chapter VII of Srimad Bhagavadgita : Sri Bhagwan said, “Arjun, now listen how with the mind attached to Me and practicing Yoga with absolute dependence on Me, you will know Me in entirety and without any shadow of doubt” (1). I shall unfold to you in its entirely this wisdom alongwith the Knowledge of the qualified aspect of God, having known which nothing else remains yet to be known in this world (2). Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, reason and also ego; these constitute My nature eightfold divided. This indeed is My lower (material) nature : the other than this, by which the whole universe is sustained, know it to be My higher nature in the form of Jiva, O Arjuna. (4-5). Arjuna, know that all beings have evolved from this twofold Prakriti, and that I am the source of the entire creation, and into Me again it disappears.(6)
The Radhasoami Religion also tells that, the ‘Word’ mentioned above is in fact Current of Sound or Current of Consciousness or Prime Current of Spirituality which was issued forth from its Source, or Creator or God. This Current has later on produced light and other forces. The scientists are discussing these days about dark energy which constitute about 96% of the entire universe which is not known to us. Only 4% part of the universe is known to us by all scientific means. In fact this 96% invisible portion of the universe is the vast expanse of spirituality which can be designated as field of gravitational waves in scientific terms. Visible portion of the universe (4%) consists of consciousness (gravitational force), mental force (electromagnetic waves) and material force (strong and weak nuclear force).
Body = Nuclear Force (weak as well as strong)
Mind = Electromagnetic Force.
Consciousness = Gravitation Force.
According to Radhasoami Religion the whole Universe can be sub-divided into three grand divisions viz.
1. Region of Pure Spirituality
2. Region of Subtle Maya
3. Region of Gross Maya
Nuclear forces dominate Region of Gross Maya (Gross Material Region), Electro-magnetic forces dominate Region of Subtle Maya (Subtle Material Region) and Gravitational Force dominates Pure Spiritual Region.
This is the only Truth which can be verified scientifically and can be termed as ‘higher theory for everything’. This also supports the statement of Sir Sahabji Maharaj the goal of science – Truth; the goal of philosophy – Ultimate Reality; and the goal of religion – God are the three names of same supreme essence.
1. Many things are common between Current of Consciousness and Gravitational Wave.
1. Current of consciousness can not be seen by any means and gravitational wave can also not be seen.
2. Current of consciousness is the weakest force on earth. Its strength goes on increasing on higher regions. Gravitational force is also very weak on earth and strong on Sun and even more stronger on black holes.
3 Tendency of both current of consciousness and gravitational waves are towards their source or centre.
4. Current of consciousness and gravitational force are both regarded as the creater of all the celestial and terrestrial bodies of the whole universe. They are also sustainer of these and when they turn back towards their source or centre the whole universe will collapse.
Hence it can be assumed that the source of current of consciousness and gravitational wave is the same i.e. God or ultimate creator.
This theory is based on scientific deduction. All other theories appear to be work of imaginative thinking and sometimes do not satisfy the criteria of scientific verification. In scientific terms it can be said that the ‘gravitons’ are the elementary
particle which was issued forth in the beginning of the creation accompanying with sound ‘Radha’
=====================================
Yoga (Application) which was based on the control of the body physically and implied that a perfect control over the body and the senses led to knowledge of the ultimate reality. A detailed anatomical knowledge of the human body was necessary to the advancement of yoga and therefore those practising yoga had to keep in touch with medical knowledge. (Romila Thapar, A History of India, volume one).
I suggest : Mind and brain are two distinct things. Brain is anatomical entity whereas mind is functional entity. Mind can be defined as the function of autonomic nervous system (ANS). It is claimed that mind can be brought under conscious control through the practice of meditation. But how? ANS is largely under hypothalamic control which is situated very close to optic chiasma (sixth chakra or ajna chakra). Protracted practice of concentration to meditate at this region brings functions of ANS say mind under one’s conscious control.
ANS is further divided into parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) and sympathetic nervous system (SNS). On the basis of these facts I have discovered a mathematical relationship for spiritual quotient (S.Q.). Spiritual Quotient can be expressed mathematically as the ratio of Parasympathetic dominance to Sympathetic dominance. PSNS dominates during meditative calm and SNS dominates during stress. In this formula we assign numerical values to the physiological parameters activated or suppressed during autonomic mobilization and put in the formula to describe the state of mind of an individual and also infer his/her level of consciousness.
Protracted practice of meditation under qualified guidance will help to manage all sort of psychological problems.
Emotional Quotient can also be expressed mathematically as the product of I.Q. and Wisdom Factor.
