Normal And Abnormal

(Continued from yesterday) The belief of rebirth is not confined to any region or any country. People from different parts of the world hold this belief. It is filtered through generations. When people die their bodies get decomposed but their souls take birth in other bodies.  This is the fundamental concept of reincarnation. It is said that human subconscious always keep some faint memories of previous life. It is believed that only some people get this memory of the past life. In India we have a religious back up for reincarnation. In Jainism, the soul and matter are considered eternal, uncreated and perpetual. There is a constant interplay between these, resulting in bewildering cosmic manifestations in material, psychic and emotional spheres around us. This led to the theories of transmigration and rebirth. The life after death therefore moves on to another form of life based on the merits and demerits it accumulated in its current life. The path to becoming a supr...

(Continued from yesterday) Dr Maurice  in his book narrated a near death experience of a youth who had met with a road accident and brought to his hospital. After examination the doctor had declared him dead. The youth remained 'dead' for a few hours and during this time, on information, few of his relatives came to collect his 'body'. After seeing the 'body' they went out to arrange an ambulance to take away the body. In the meantime the hospital staff found some movement of the body of the youth lying still on the table. Immediately the youth was shifted to the emergency room and later became normal. When he became normal he told about the relatives including the colour of their dresses who had visited him when in coma. According to studies conducted by Dr Satwant Pasricha in Northern India 1 in every 450 people experienced the past life memory; of the 19 cases found, past incarnation was identified in 16 cases. As per a report published by Madhusr...

There  are thousands of stories about rebirth from around the world. Many people from different countries have studied the subject and told the world what they had encountered. There are countless number of books dealing with the subject. Past and post life of many well known personalities were presented by some researchers of reincarnation. However for unknown reasons modern science is reluctant to conduct studies about this subject. Instead of saying either an 'yes' or 'no' the science prefer to remain silent. It may look easier to say a 'no', but it is equally important that to say a 'no' too should have the same knowledge that of saying an 'yes'. There are many reliable cases of people undergone clinical death and returned to life after a good interval. Many such people undergone the mystical experience revealed that they had passed through a long tunnel, seen some light, met with some known people etc. Maurice S. Rawlings, Americ...

China is playing with the poor economic conditions of many countries across the world. While China is funding on various projects of selected countries, their aim is not the development of such countries but to dictate terms upon them. There are already a good number of countries fallen to this debt trap. Sri Lanka Sri Lanka is portrayed as a country that has fallen into China's debt trap due to the Chinese aided public investment projects. Hambantota port was one such investment project, which was leased to China Merchant Port Holdings Limited for 99 years for $1.12 billion in 2017. It is a clean case of the debt trap. Kyrgyzstan Chinese Exim Bank has been the largest single creditor, with reported loans totalling more than $1.5 billion, roughly 40% of its total external debt. This country is at a vulnerable state of moderate risk. Maldives China has invested in about three nojor projects in Maldives. This country now owes $3.5 billion to Beijing. China is reported to ...

The  answer is yes. It may sound odd. Plants produce different kinds of chemical signals in response to the environment. They share these signals with each other, as an alarm when being attacked. These signals can be either through air or through soil. In short we can say that plants communicate with each other as in the case of animals, but in a different mode. There are instruments to receive signals and make those audible.  If we can develop these instruments suitably, such communications can be analysed, interpreted and understood. There is also a possibility of gathering warnings from the nature well in time. Gustav Fechner, professor from Germany published a book about the communication of plants titled Nanna or Soul Life of Plants. This book has inspired many scientists to have closer look at the communication of plants. Some recent studies reveal that plants communicate with each other and also can respond when humans communicate with them. Rich Marini of P...

According  to the day to day media reports hundreds of Pak infiltraters are waiting at the border to cross and create destructions in out country. Though our satellites can watch these infiltration of the terrorists, would it not be ideal to place a satellite exclusively for this purpose and parallely take action to destroy the move instantly. Until we take strong preventive action it may continue for ever. We must take all possible action to prevent infiltration of any sort from our neighbour country who have become adamant to cause problems within our country most probably at the behest of another neighbour of ours. Our most courageous jawans guarding the border must send a strong message to the Pak government that infiltration to India is totally impossible and even a faint attempt shall be dealt with very severely. The country shall provide them all available resources and the support of the fellow men shall always be with them. KV George kvgeorgein@gmail.com

(Raising of Lazarus, painting by Guercino, Italian painter, 1619. Current location: Louvre Museum, Paris) (St Lazarus Church, Larnaca, Cyprus) "Lord,  the air is foul by now; he has been four days dead. ... And with that he cried in a loud voice, Come out, Lazarus, to my side. Whereupon the dead man came out, his feet and hands tied with linen strips, and his face muffled in a veil. Loose him, said Jesus, and let him go free." (John 11:43-44) After Lazarus was brought back to life four days after his death by Jesus Christ the priesthood stood against him. They wanted to kill him and that made Lazarus to flee from Judea and he reached Cyprus. There he was appointed by Paul and Barnabas as the first Bishop of Kition (Larnaca of today). He lived there thirty more years and on his death was buried there for the second time. The Church of Agios Lazaros was built over the tomb of Lazarus. The Church was founded in the late 9th century and dedicated to Lazaru...
