Rags to RICHES

Sunday, June 17th, 2007

May the GOD the Universal Soul give us all

Human Beings the fearlessness to Dream.

I Have experinced and seen around that People

rise from rags to riches with their Dreams .

We are infact born with the powers of the GOD

the UNIVERSAL SOUL to create out of nothingness as

as our Holy Father Does every moment .

28 New Exoplanets Discovered

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

HONOLULU-Astronomers have discovered 28 new planets outside of our solar system, increasing to 236 the number of known exoplanets, revealing that planets can exist around a broad spectrum of stellar types-from tiny, dim stars to giants.
“We added 12 percent to the total in the last year, and we’re very proud of that,” said one of the study team members Jason Wright of the University of California at Berkeley. “This provides new planetary systems so that we can study their properties as an ensemble.”
The planets are among 37 new objects spotted within the past year. Seven of the objects are failed stars called brown dwarfs, with masses that dwarf the largest, Jupiter-sized planets but too small to sustain the nuclear reactions necessary for stellar ignition.
John Johnson of the University of California at Berkeley and his colleagues presented the findings here today at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS).
Astronomers don’t directly spot extrasolar planets, but rather look for stellar wobbles caused by orbiting planets. The planet’s size and distance from the parent star affect how strong or weak of a wobble, and more sophisticated techniques for measuring the stellar wobbles has led to an ever-lengthening list of such outer planets. Now they can detect wobbles of a meter per second compared with the 10-meter limit just 15 years ago.
Planet profiles
One of the exoplanets, a red M dwarf just 30 light-years from Earth, was discovered two years ago, but recent observations have allowed astronomers to pin down its mass, radius and density. The ice-giant planet circles the star Gliese 436 (GJ 436) and has a radius and density that are surprisingly similar to that of Neptune.
Weighing in at 22.4 Earth-masses, the exoplanet is the first Neptune-sized planet observed to transit a star. The previous record holder, dubbed HD 140926b, weighed in at 100 Earth masses, and Jupiter is 320 Earth masses.
“[Gliese 436b] must be 50 percent rock and about 50 percent water, with perhaps small amounts of hydrogen and helium,” said head of the planet-search team Geoffrey Marcy, also of UC Berkeley. “So this planet has the interior structure of a hybrid super-Earth/Neptune, with a rocky core surrounded by a significant amount of water compressed into solid form at high pressures and temperatures.”
Its 2.6-day orbit around GJ 436 means the hybrid planet circles very close to its star, just 3 percent of the Sun-Earth distance, and making it a hot Neptune. Unlike most giant planets found with such close ties to their stars, this planet has an eccentric orbit. The elongated orbit suggests the parent star could have another planetary companion with a more distant orbit.
“I’m sure people will immediately follow up and try to measure the atmospheric composition of this planet,” Wright said.
GJ 436 is an M star and 70 percent of all stars are considered M-type stars, so finding that these dim stars can support planets could mean a boon for planet hunters.
Bigger is better
At least four of the newly spotted planets belong to multiple-planet systems, supporting the idea that at least 30 percent of all planet-parent stars have more than one planetary companion. Since smaller planets and those outside our solar system are trickier to detect, Wright predicts this percentage will continue to rise as detection methods improve.
And three of the just-discovered planets circle stars that boast masses between 1.6 and 1.9 times that of our Sun. The stars are A- and F-type stars, which are typically difficult to detect because they rotate fast and have pulsating atmospheres.
Due to their extreme rotational velocities and high temperatures, A and F stars only jitter slightly from orbiting planets and so surveys can only pick up wobbles from super-massive planets and brown dwarfs in short-period orbits around these stars.
Johnson discovered that “retired” A stars, which have nearly burned all of their hydrogen and remain stable for a short stint, have slower rotation rates and are not so hot. That makes it easier for astronomers to measure their planet-caused wobbles.
Unlike planets orbiting M-type stars, these exoplanets tend to orbit at least 0.8 astronomical units (AU) from the parent stars.
For this reason, massive stars are more likely to harbor Jupiter-sized planets than are lower-mass stars, Johnson said. And retired A-type stars are twice as likely to support planets compared with Sun-like stars, which Johnson attributes to the fact that bigger stars start out with more material in their disks to feed planet building.
So these massive stars also could represent a treasure trove for places to spot new exoplanets, along with the M stars, Johnson said.

YOGA

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

“Yoga is not an ancient myth buried in oblivion. It is the most valuable inheritance of the present. It is the essential need of today and the culture of tomorrow.”
Swami Satyananda Saraswati.

The word yoga means ‘unity’ or ‘oneness’ and is derived from the Sanskrit word yuj which means ‘to join’. This unity or joining is described in spiritual terms as the union of the individual consciousness with the universal consciousness. On a more practical level, yoga is a means of balancing and harmonising the body, mind and emotions. This is done through the practice of asana, pranayama, mudra, bandha, shatkarma and meditation, and must be achieved before union can take place with the higher reality.

HUMAN CHEMISTRY

Friday, May 18th, 2007

As related to the physical aspect, each nostril, when it operates severally in the human body, effects the chemical composition of the body in a different way. The nasal circuit consists of the alternating inhalation and exhalation through two major alternating energy circuits IDA and PINGALA, which are regulated through SWARA-VIJNANA. If these currents are not flowing properly, it becomes evident in the breathing pattern, as well as alterations in the psychophyisiological state of the individual. Scientifically stated, there is a direct relationship between the air passing through a particular nostril and electromagnetic currents passing along the corresponding side of the vertebral column.

Nostrils by means of the process of respiration are connected to the neuromotor responses of the human body and the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system-responses influence the hemispheres of the brain, governing all human body functions. In addition to this, there are 72,000 invisible nadi’s or energy channels originating from the navel. These invisible energy channels all network into the flow from the right and left nostrils. Through a network of sensory nerves in the nose, the nostrils are connected to the nadis. The literal meaning of “nadi” is the flow of a resonating and subtle vibration. The Shiva Swarodaya names ten major Nadis in the human body, of which the Sushumna, Ida and Pingala are most important. These nadis connect to the doorways leading in and out of the body, and are the main channels for prana shakti.

The IDA and PINGALA flows of the nostril are considered good for various worldly activities , whereas the flow of both simultaneously alters the body chemistry preparing the body for meditation.

To prepare for the ability to attune oneself with nature, some basic guidelines include meditation, cleansing of energy points or chakras throughout the body through pranayama, and basic knowledge of the elements or Tattvajana. The cleansing of energy points or chakras is essential as these points are related to the network of 72,000 energy channels in the body. This technique is known as Nadi Shodhan. This renders possible the coordination of the internal and external universes, to allow the practitioner to capture the essence of nature.

One does what one can

Tuesday, May 8th, 2007

It was a chilly fall day when the farmer spied the little sparrow lying
on its back in the middle of his field.
The farmer stopped his ploughing,looked down at the frail , feathered creature
and inquired, ” why are you lying upside down like that ?”

” I heard the sky is going to fall today,” and i suppose you spindly little legs
can hold up the sky ?”
” One does what one can ,” replied the plucky sparrow.

 And whatever your deed and

 Whatever your deed is your destiny

“Dream big and try and find out means and

 Ways to turn it into reality.  ,

CHARITY

Wednesday, April 25th, 2007

The desire of power in excess

Caused the angels to fall;

The desire of knowledge in excess

Caused man to fall;

But in charity there is no excess,

Neither can angel or man come in danger by it.

BEING FOCUSED

Saturday, April 21st, 2007

It’s like that classic story of the young boy

 Who traveled far from his home to study under a

great teacher.

When he met the wise old man, his first question was,

‘How long will it take me before I am as wise as you? ‘

 

The response came swiftly, ‘five years.’

‘This is a very long time, ‘the boy replied.

‘How about if I work twice as hard?

‘Then it will take ten, said the master.

‘Ten! That’s far too long. How about if I studied all day

And well into the night, every night?

 

‘Fifteen years,’ said the sage.

‘I don’t understand, ‘replied the boy:

‘Every time I promise to devote more energy to my goal,

You tell me that it will take longer.

‘The answer is simple.

With one eye fixed on the destination,

There is only one left to guide you along the journey.’

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Thursday, April 19th, 2007

Life is no brief candle for me.

It is a sort of splendid torch  

Which I have got hold of for the moment,

And I want to make it burn as brightly as possible

Before handing it on to future generations.
