SUNDAY'S TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE, SCIENCE & CONSCIOUSNESS

I am fascinated and intrigued by the solar system and the vast space above and it has to do with the question, "Who or What controls what happens in the sky above and the way the solar system orbits around the sun?"

I've been following this total solar eclipse which began its 11,000 kilometer (6,800 mile) arc over the Pacific, plunging remote islands on its path into darkness in a celestial display that climaxed on Easter Island, on Sunday, July 11th 2010.

I checked with the Hindu calendar and it states, "Amawasya, NM - 3:40 PM, Sun Eclipse begins 1:10 PM - 5:57 PM." This is interesting because I know that Pandit Yoga, Pandit Babb and others have put together the 2010 calendar during November - December 2009. When they checked the Hindu Patra, the information about the solar eclipse was there.

That is just one incident which brings out the scientific calculation of the solar system, space and time available in the Hindu 'shashtras' that our pandits have to use to create the new Hindu calendar. This task involve minute detail work because of the need for accuracy in date and time.

It is clear that our pandits functions like scientists as well. To understand this concept, you must take a look at the Hindu calendar, to observe how many full moons, new moons and the many other major Hindu parbs and festivals in the year that have to be calculated.

I am of the strong believe that NASA - the government space agency - should recruit a few of our top-notch, advanced and highly skilled pandits to work at the agency. I say it is the right time to train a few Hindu pandits or astrologers to take that illusive, lengthen trip high up in space. It will add a totally different dimension to the US space program. It will also be like an education process for the scientists - to educate them to gradually move away from to the path of proof and evidence and give them a chance to experience the power of OM or Consciousness.

You see, in Hinduism we worship the Sun and the Moon and the Earth and the other planets. These are powerful entities that to grasp how they work is beyond the realm of our limited understanding. The planetary system is known as the "Nou Graha Devtas" (9 Devtas) who influence our lives from time to time, depending on our Karmas. So, to understand how the planetary system works is to understand Consciousness - the Ultimate Science of creation. That without Consciousness, a solar eclipse of any kind is not possible - absolutely not.

As much as we need science and scientists to survive and make our lives better or our living experience a better one, I believe that scientists have to approach their individual fields or research works with a more "Consciousness" feel to it - and just accept that certain things are beyond their control.

Like the total solar eclipse that people were so fascinated by yesterday (even the footballs fans in Tahiti ran to look at it), scientists could not have stopped it or controled its path. No, because it is called Consciousness and It works miracles for us. Let's just sit back and enjoy the world and its fruits while we can and believe that Consciousness exists.
