Global Warming What is global warming Global warming

Global Warming What is global warming? Global warming is when the earth heats up (the temperature rises). It happens when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and methane) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere, which increases the temperature. This hurts many people, animals, and plants. Many cannot take the change, so they die.

What is the greenhouse effect? The greenhouse effect is when the temperature rises because the sun’s heat and light is trapped in the earth’s atmosphere. This is like when heat is trapped in a car. On a very hot day, the car gets hotter when it is out in the parking lot. This is because the heat and light from the sun can get into the car, by going through the windows, but it can’t get back out. This is what the greenhouse effect does to the earth. The heat and light can get through the atmosphere, but it can’t get out. As a result, the temperature rises.

The sun’s heat can get into the car through the windows but is then trapped. This makes what ever the place might be, a greenhouse, a car, a building, or the earth’s atmosphere, hotter. This diagram shows the heat coming into a car as visible light (light you can see) and infrared light (heat). Once the light is inside the car, it is trapped and the heat builds up, just like it does in the earth’s atmosphere. Sometimes the temperature can change in a way that helps us. The greenhouse effect makes the earth appropriate for people to live on. Without it, the earth would be freezing, or on the other hand it would be burning hot. It would be freezing at night because the sun would be down. We would not get the sun’s heat and light to make the night somewhat warm. During the day, especially during the summer, it would be burning because the sun would be up with no atmosphere to filter it, so people, plants, and animals would be exposed to all the light and heat.

Although the greenhouse effect makes the earth able to have people living on it, if there gets to be too many gases, the earth can get unusually warmer, and many plants, animals, and people will die. They would die because there would be less food (plants like corn, wheat, and other vegetables and fruits). This would happen because the plants would not be able to take the heat. This would cause us to have less food to eat, but it would also limit the food that animals have. With less food, like grass, for the animals that we need to survive (like cows) we would even have less food. Gradually, people, plants, and animals would all die of hunger. What are greenhouse gasses? Greenhouse gasses are in the earth’s atmosphere that collect heat and light from the sun. With too many greenhouse gasses in the air, the earth’s atmosphere will trap too much heat and the earth will get too hot. As a result people, animals, and plants would die because the heat would be too strong.

Global warming is affecting many parts of the world. Global warming makes the sea rise, and when the sea rises, the water covers many low land islands. This is a big problem for many of the plants, animals, and people on islands. The water covers the plants and causes some of them to die. When they die, the animals lose a source of food, along with their habitat. Although animals have a better ability to adapt to what happens than plants do, they may die also. When the plants and animals die, people lose two sources of food, plant food animal food. They may also lose their homes. As a result, they would also have to leave the area or die. This would be called a break in the food chain, or a chain reaction, one thing happening that leads to another and so on.

• Recent research on assessment of Yagya effects in reducing air-borne bacteria and pollutants shows good potential of Yagya in controlling Air and water pollution. As per the Vedic scriptural descriptions, grand (large scale) yagyas performed on regular basis for a certain timeperiod help maintain the natural equilibrium in the various components of the atmospheric environment. The effects of Yagya help conserve the eco-system, purify the atmosphere, kill and destroy many disease-causing microbes and also remove the air, water and soil pollution.

• Yagya is a scientific process through which the CO 2 and O 2 is maintained in the atmosphere. There are various cycles in nature such as the seasonal cycle, animal cycle, solar cycle, lunar cycle, rain cycle, etc. In Rig-Ved and Yajur-Veda, these cycles have been termed as natural Yagyas, which are being performed continuously in a self-organized manner. • When Yagya is performed, the vapor-particles in the air are attracted and thus lead to desired rainfall. This is the reason why the scriptures sang praises of Yagya.

The Integrated Science of Yagya Dr Motohama of Tokyo, Japan has studied the effects of Yagna/Agnihotra, with the instrument for measuring electric field surrounding the body, He has reported that – after performing the Agnihotra, the Anahat Chakra (Cardiac plexus) exhibits similar condition that exhibits after psychic and spiritual healings.

Literal Meaning of Yagna: Selfless sacrifice for noble purposes, it means : v Sacrificing of ego, selfishness and material attachments and adopting rational thinking. v Humane compassion and dedicated creativity for the welfare of all. v The philosophy of yagya is the basis of ideal human culture. Why? Because it teaches a way of living in the society in harmony, living style to promote and protect higher humane values. v Why is the knowledge of philosophy of science and yagya essential? Yagya is essential for understanding and experimenting the science of spirituality like the elementary knowledge of physics is essential to study material based sciences.

What we will get from the yagna? v. Excellent health. v. Purification of the environment. v. Psychological and spiritual benefits. It means supernormal power, peace, prosperity, long life, connectivity with supreme source of universe.

Source of the Science of Yagna: Four Vedas are the source of the science of Gayatri and Yagya. v. The sound therapy aspects of mantras for the treatment of the ailing humane system at the physical, psychological and spiritual level are from Atharvaveda. v. Musical chanting patterns of mantras and subtle form of yagya through the cosmic radiation of the omnipresent subtle energy of sound are from Samveda. v. The knowledge of principles and methods of performing yagyas as spiritual and scientific experiments for global welfare from Yajurveda. v. The source of Gayatri Mantra in Rig Veda.

There are two basic energy systems in the physical world: Heat and Sound. In performing yagya, these two energies, namely, the heat from yagya’s fire and the sound of the chanting of the Gayatri and other Vedic Mantras, are blended together to achieve the desired physical, psychological and spiritual benefits. The fumigation, vaporization and subtlisation of specific substances in the yagya-fire constitute a verifiable scientific method of sublimation of matter and expansion of its colloidal state, generates ions and energy with positive effects in the surrounding atmosphere through the specific sonic waves of the mantras.

Fumigating Substances Used in Yagya: In order to get an idea of the various chemical changes that take place during the performance of yagya, it is essential to know the various substances used and offered in the yagya-fire. These can be broadly classified into two types: wood (samidhá), and a mixture of odoriferous and medicinal herbs (havan sámagri).

Process Of Yagya 1. Vaporization of Odorous Substances: The temperature attained by the kunda varies between 250°C and 600°C, while in the actual flames it can rise as high as 1200°C to 1300°C 2. Combustion of Fatty Substances 3. Photochemical Process: CO 2 + H 2 O + 112, 000 cal = HCHO + O 2 4. Chanting of Sanskrit Mantras With the advent of spectrographic techniques and instruments like the Multichannel Tonograph and Retrometer, it has now become possible to study the sound effects of mantras in relation to yagna.

Purification of Environment by Yagna: The huge industrial complexes, rapid urbanization, deforestation, air and water pollution, ozone-depletion, radioactive wastes etc. , which have disturbed and destabilized the natural harmony of human, animal and plant life cycles. The ecological imbalance caused by these criminal acts of the so called ‘civilized man’ has resulted in a disastrous threat, not only to the human survival but, also to life as a whole on our planet , says Dr. Madhukar Gaikwad. To combat this problem, Yagya is the ultimate solution.

Results of Some Recent Experiments: A group of scientists led by Dr. Manoj Garg, Director, Environmental and Technical Consultants in association with the experts from the Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board had conducted experiments during the Ashwamedha Yagna at Gorakhpur, U. P. These experiments were set up at about 20 meters east of the Yagnashala. The samples of 100 ml each of water and air collected from the surroundings were analyzed, using high volume Envirotech APM-45 and other sensitive instruments for testing water and air pollution.

A summary of their results as reported in Akhand Jyoti, Sept. ’ 97 p. 22, is presented below In air Samples(unit mg per average sample) Instant oxide Level of Sulphur dioxide Before Yagna During Yagna After Yagna 3. 36 2. 82 0. 8 Bacteria Count in Average water samples Before Yagna 4500 During Yagna 2470 After Yagna 1250 Mineral in the ash (Bhasma) of Yagna Phosphorous 4076 mg per Kg Potassium 3407 mg per Kg Calcium 7822 mg per Kg Magnesium 6424 mg per Kg Nitrogen 32 mg per Kg Quispar 2% w/w Level of Nitrous 1. 16 1. 14 1. 02

Results of Some Recent Experiments: It showed an average reduction by 75% in the level of Sulphur Dioxide and about 10% in Nitrus Oxide; and Over 70% reduction in bacteria in water samples in the surrounding area. Several medicinal minerals were present in the ash (bhasma) of yagna. The average level of carbon monoxide was found reduced from 117 p. p. m. to 0 in some of the experiments conducted on domestic yagnas at IIT Bombay Some more ongoing experiments on recording different gas levels and respirable particles are currently ongoing, being conducted by some visiting scientists at Brahm Varchas Research Center of Gayatri Teerth, Shantikunj, Hardwar.

Significance of Yogic Mantras

SOUND Mantra– subtle dimensions of sound Shabda ( the eternal and cosmic sound) is termed as Brahm. Ordinarily, it is being used for exchange of thoughts but at subtler level and higher levels the selection, interlocking and appropriation of specific words which we call Mantra plays the role of getting transformed into potential energy. We get miraculous advantage by making use of the causal energy of Shabda in yagnas. The power of Mantra lies in strict discipline, correct voice pitch, prescribed rhythm and tone. In yagna, in order to stimulate the causal energy of the offering help of science of Mantras is taken.

When a Mantra is chanted collectively during Yagna its sonic power increases exponentially due to collision of the sound waves with the thinnest ‘flame screen’ of the quivering fire of Yagna and high frequency vibrations generated thereby the subtle interactions of the sound waves of the mantra with the cosmic energy centre ( Devta) associated with their specific configurations as carry shabdas. The fundamental thermodynamic effects associated with the fumigation of the sacrificed Havishya in the Yagana fire. The combined effect of the vital, mental, causal, energies of the people, who are performing the Yagna. The sound waves of the mantras, instead of proceeding in their natural circular motion, move in upward spiral form by the force of the electrons generated by fumigation of Havishya after sublimation in Yagna-fire.

The mutual collision of these fast moving electrons along with the sonic pattern of the Mantras result in the penetration in and out of the ionosphere. The collective chanting of Mantras in specific rhythm in front of Yagna flames gives rise to unique sound – wave which have infinite radiant effects in the outer space.

There are 4 level of voices: Baikheri, Madhyama, para and Pashyanti which are developed by Gayatri and Yagna We can achieve wonders of Ultra and Infra levels of sound by refinement of Baikheri Vani. Madhyama Vani works in the domain of thoughts waves and if refined further leads to subtler sound of Para and the Pashyanti, which are the Vanis of spiritual communication and the conversation with Brahma.

• Greed, ego, attachments are 3 main cause of Global warming. There is no shortage of the resources but out its ego and the greed human being are consuming its life force in making money, developing one industry after another likewise at the cost of damaging natural resources. Yagna is the ancient Science hidden in Vedas by which human being get realization of self and very purpose of the life by way of refinement of the personality which result in unification of the supreme consciousness.

Thus by the scientific process called Yagna hidden potential gets activated, the surrounding atmosphere gets purified and charged with cosmic vibrations. People start feeling a sense Peacefullness and happiness in their lives and by default greed, ego and attachment disappear. The urge to destroy the environment also disappears along with it.

• Yagna, thus, appears to be a promising scientific, cost effective, eco-friendly method to counter the everincreasing deadly pollution of the environment and purify and enrich the environment with healthy ingredients. May the environmental scientists and the experts of the Vedic Science of Yagna come together to enable its global expansion. The Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya at Shantikunj, Hardwar is venturing to be a pacesetter in this regard.
