Hindu "OM" is not just a Chanting word, It has powers beyond Science.

Hinduism is the 3rd largest religion in the world, after Christianity and Islam. The goal of life in Hinduism is to attain salvation, or moksha. Hinduism actually believes in only one god, but in many forms. There have been substantial evidences that Hinduism had spread all over the world including Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Russia, USA, Italy, and many other parts of the world.

Hindu ancestors were far more intelligent and clever than us and there are many secrets which have to be revealed. We don't even have idea what they knew and if the things which exist now are true. There are so many theories explains the science behind the traditions and rituals followed in Hinduism.

Here, we talk about the chanting word 'OM' which has been widely followed by Hindus. You can hear it in any of the Hindu temples. There are some beliefs that OM is the sound of Universe, Says, when you are in space and listen the sound around you, you hear 'OM'. Somewhere in Boston during Guru Purnima in 2010, a lady from the Boston-Connecticut area had done a research where they recorded the sound Om, put it in the computer and found that the frequency of Om is exactly the same as the frequency of earth’s rotation around its own axis.

All the saints in the past, when they went deep into meditation, they just heard is OM. They says, OM means many things. It means love, eternity, purity, peace. One of the most popular claims made by Yogis is that chanting Om mantra improves our concentration, gives peace and steadiness to our mind, reduces mental stress and clears all worldly thoughts. Although those who practice it regularly would have experienced it first hand and affirm the same, scientists were curious to find out more about it and verify such claims with the help of science & technology.

Few years ago, scientists conducted an experiment in which participants who had never chanted Om mantra were asked to chant it for few minutes and each of their chants were recorded. The time frequency analysis of it showed irregular waveforms which indicated unsteadiness in the mind. They were asked to chant the mantra on a regular basis and after few days, the experiment was repeated. The time-frequency analysis this time had some startling revelations. The waveforms were improved with regular spacing, had almost perfect symmetry and harmony. Not only had these participants witnessed dramatic improvements in focus, concentration & steadiness, but found themselves to be in peace, witnessed reduction in mental stress & could remain calm all the time.


In its most rudimentary form, a mantra is made of syllables which exert their influence by means of sound (vibrations). As one would have personally experienced, different syllables have different vibration patterns which affect different parts of the body. Each syllable resonates with certain organ or part of the body.

All these scientific experiments and research says chanting OM mantra reduces the mental stress
and cures depression, improves focus and concentration, calms the mind and leads to better well-being, peace and happiness.


Listen to OM here.

Biggest Unsolved Mystery of the World: The Lost City Of Atlantis


Before it vanished and became the holy grail of modern archaeology The Lost city of Atlantis was thought to be one of the most advanced civilization of the ancient world.
All the research by many generations of scientists and explorers which had been set out in quest of the  400 year old city has ended in failure. Plato, the great philosopher wrote of this mysterious city. It is the only ancient source for this theory of Atlantis.
All the descriptions of Atlantis but Plato are very complicated or detailed. Whoever wants to find the Atlantis, Plato's theories would be a detailed road map to them. But unfortunately, no one has discovered a single trace of this lost civilization.
According to Plato, It was a place with round harbors and land rings and is an Island. It was just beyond the Hercules pillars.
most of the ancient writers know what Hercules pillars are and where these are located. We call them today as the Straits of Gibraltar, between the coasts of southern Spain and northern Morocco. A young German physicist, Rainer Keene, who had researched Plato’s writings, discovered strange circular patterns in satellite photographs of the mudflats, in 2004. Comparing the photographs to Plato’s description, Kuehne believes the measurements Plato gave match the circular patterns he sees.  Further more, Kuehne noticed a rectangular anomaly within the circular patterns which match the exact dimensions Plato gave for Poseidon’s temple.  Kuehne’s discoveries have spawned a full scale investigation backed by the latest technology into whether the lost city of Atlantis really lies there.

Plato's writings says Atlantis was destroyed by earth quakes and severe flooding in a single day and night. If this theory is true, and if there was the city of Atlantis it could have been washed into the sea and onto the sea bed. There was another theory revolves around Plato’s writings that the city being located much farthest east, near the islands of Greece name as Crete.


Where ever the lost city of Atlantis is, or whether is even exists, is yet to be discovered and remains one of the biggest unexplained mysteries of our time.
There are so many references to find much more about Atlantis including a movie named Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, a part of Indiana Jones.

Look at your Tears under a Microscope, you will be shocked.

Yes, Looking at tears under a microscope reveals a shocking fact.
We can cry because we're happy. We can cry because we're sad. We can cry because we're cutting onions. We can cry just because we need to cry. They're all completely different emotions...but are they different tears?

One day a lady called Rose-Lynn Fisher wondered if her tears of grief would look different compared to her tears of joy, so she began to explore them close under a microscope. She wanted to find out it in her series The Topography of Tears. She put dried tears from all different kinds of situations under the microscope to see what's different between them all.

Joseph Stromberg of the Smithsonian’s Collage of Arts and Sciences explained that there are three major types of tears: basal, reflex, and psychic (triggered by emotions). All tears contain organic substances including oils, antibodies, and enzymes and are suspended in salt water. That makes sense! They're three different things! But how do tears of joy and tears of sorrow, which come from the same place, end up looking different? Because of circumstance.

Fisher examined around 100 different tears and found that basal tears (the ones that our body produces to lubricate our eyes) are drastically different from the tears that happen when we are chopping onions. The tears that come about from hard laughter aren’t even close to the tears of sorrow. Like a drop of ocean water each tiny tear drop carries a microcosm of human experience. Her project is called The Topography of Tears. Emotional tears have protein-based hormones including the neurotransmitter leucine encephalin, which is a natural painkiller that is released when we are stressed. Plus, the tears seen under the microscope are crystallized salt and can lead to different shapes and forms. So even psychic tears with the same chemical composition can look very different.

Fisher said, “There are so many variables—there’s the chemistry, the viscosity, the setting, the evaporation rate and the settings of the microscope.”

So remember tears are alike. If somebody is claiming that your crying when you are laughing show them with a microscope.

I can't believe the difference between all of these. If you found this post interesting, share it with others.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?


This is an old riddle that has travelled generations and perplexed people.
Which came first , the chicken or the egg?
Seems someone have found the answer for this riddle.
British scientists have taken this riddle very seriously when they have been challenged.
They have finally came up with the definitive answer: The Chicken.
According to Daily mail news paper the researchers at Sheffield and Warwick universities have unraveled this philosophical and scientific mystery.
They found that there is Proteins inside a chicken ovaries which is necessary for the formation of the egg. The egg can therefore only exist if it has been created inside a chicken.
While the chick grows inside the egg, this protein speeds up the development of the hard shell, which is essential in protecting the delicate yolk and fluids.
Dr. Colin Freeman, from Sheffield University's Department of Engineering Materials said
"It had long been suspected that the egg came first but now we have the scientific proof that shows that in fact the chicken came first,"
"The protein had been identified before and it was linked to egg formation, but by examining it closely we have been able to see how it controls the process,"
Professor John Harding, from the same department, said the discovery could have other uses, according to the Daily Mail.
"Understanding how chickens make egg shells is fascinating in itself but can also give clues towards designing new materials and processes," he said.
"Nature has found innovative solutions that work for all kinds of problems in materials science and technology — we can learn a lot from them."
