Hinduism and Science:-
I Being a atheist always wondered how there can be so many stories about Hinduism, Christanity, Islam and many other religions.I dint get the right answers from the colleges as we all know how fucked up the education system in India is(enchi saavya college?). But I gotto learn a lot from a explanation given by a lil girl to one of my friend. She had a totally new Idea about Hindu Gods. In brief the explanation was as given below she said
"see there are 3 god s no Shiva is angry God.Vishnu is chuper God who always smiles even while sleeping on snake,I like hich hands soo many hands he has,I also want handchs like him.Brahma God I dont like Much but I like hich three heads .He s very good god he always goes to shiva or vishnu for advice.So shiva is the negative God and Vishnu the Positive God. Brahma never makes decision s so he s Neutral. Something went to your head buddu?"
:yeaaaa we have shiva only who seems normal with no multiple things
"nooo not that...positive negative and Neutral...Proton Neutron and Electron. That s why since our ancestors could nt give any other name they wrote a book about these three things and named them as Vishnu Shiva and Brahma"
"welcome to my world...your belief in God seems to be too high...nice theory though"
So whichever the relegions are there are certain things that have real scientific reasoning to it.I found this following interesting explanation about certain belief s of Hinduism in facebook.It s good to have some knowledge in ur head than sitting like a Duck when ur kid kicks your but for these small questions. This is not my original post at all whatever comes after this.
SUPERSTITIONS OR DEFINITE SCIENTIFIC THEORIES????
Traditions in Hinduism were considered mainly as superstitions, but with the advent of science, it is becoming evident that these traditions are based on some scientific knowledge and moved from generations to generations as traditions. Though the common people did not know science in it, they were following it very religiously over the years. This
article is an attempt to bring forward the science involved in these
traditions and rituals. Ancient Rishis, who were scientists actually,
did not tell the common people the science involved in these traditions,
but instead related them with the God and religion, so that the common
people would benefit from them.
1. Why every Hindu should have a Tulsi plant in front of his/her house?
Answer: The Latin name of Tulsi plant is ” Ocimum Sanctum.” It is also called as Holy Basil. For thousands of years, Tulsi has been worshiped by Hindus. It is considered as a sacred plant and it is necessary for every Hindu family to have a Tulsi plant in front of their house. The recent studies, have shown that Tulsi plant releases Ozone (O3) along with oxygen, which is very essential for ecological balance. World Ozone Day is celebrated on 16th September of every year, at which time some environmental organizations distribute Tulsi plants in large number.
Besides that Tulsi has lots of medicinal uses and is a very important herb according to Ayurveda. Tulsi leaves strengthen our immune system. So, the Tulsi leaves are mainly used for treating fever, common cold, cough, sore throat, and respiratory disorders.
Therefore, I think not only Hindus but all of us should have a Tulsi plant in front of our house.
2. Why Hindus worship some particular trees and not all the trees?
Answer: It is true that Hindus honor all the trees but some particular trees and plants are considered sacred and have been worshiped over thousands of years.
Some of the examples are Peepal Tree (Ficus religiosa) and Audumbar Tree (Ficus racemosa). These two trees are 24-hour oxygen generators and cannot be planted manually. They grow on their own mainly through the birds, which eat their fruits. Audumbar tree is associated with Guru Dattatreya, one of main Hindu deities and cutting or dishonoring the tree in any way is considered as a sin. Both of these trees are very important for ecological balance. So by associating them with Hindu deities, they have been protected, so that no one would cut them.
3. Why Hindus pierce ears of a baby?
Answer: After a baby is born, it is a general practice in Hindus to pierce his/her ears. Actually, it is a part of acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture and acupressure is not new to Hindus. Even it is said that these techniques originated in India and later they were conserved and modified by Chinese. Outer part of ears carry a lot of important acupuncture and acupressure points. The point where the ears of a baby are pierced is known for curing asthma. That is why even ancient Hindus used to wear earrings but now a days most Hindus do not wear earrings. They do not even pierce the ears after first piercing. The holes in their ears become invisible after as they grow up. Only Hindu female wear earrings as a tradition.
