Guru Purnima, full Moon, water and science

[Guest guest]

Light and Love Thanks to all for interesting contributions about Guru

Purnima and Swami's recent Darshans by words and photos. This mail is

about the same topic but from some other point of view. Swami tells:

"This material objective world is what becomes visible to our eyes, what

pleases our senses, what fascinates our minds and what informs our brain. But

in and through this very world, there is one reachable non-material subjective

world. When that is known, both worlds reveal themselves as partial expressions

of the same indivisible Consciousness (Chaithanya). The two supplement each

other into the One Fullness, (Poornam). From the Parabrahma, (the Full) the

Jiva (the Individual, that is the Complement) arises. When the Jiva sheds the

material corpus in which it is encased, the eternal Universal Consciousness is

again the One Fullness, the Parabrahma Principle." (Bhagawan Sathya Sai Baba.

Vidya Vahini, Chapter I, p. 3). Time of full Moon when the Sun is in

Cancer (Crab) by ancients saints is time of fertility, growth, transformation,

fulfillment, love, power, maximum psychic ability. It is time when a person's

inner light goes further and accept the tasks on the path towards to the

Divine. By Hercules at that time, a mortal comes in contact with universal

reason, (Universal Consciousness by Swami). "On the day after Ekâdasi when

the Sravana Star* appears, at a day called Vyatipâta, one should recite it to a

receptive audience, taking shelter of the Lotusfeet of the Refuge of the Seeker,

without desiring remuneration; then one will find ones mind pacified by the soul

and will one thus become perfect. It is the knowledge to the ones unaware of the

reality; he who imparts it is on the path of truth and immortality and as the

kind protector of the seekers he will be blessed by the gods." (Srimad

Bhagavatam by Krsna-Dwaipayana Vyasa. Translation: A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

Prabhupada and others. Canto 4, Chapter 12). (*Sravana Star - Moon).

Moonlight is the same sunlight, only reflected from its surface. Full

Moon’s reflection is more powerful. The modern science discovered (to Vedic

saints it was known thousands years before) that reflected light has not

exactly the same influence to the living organisms(including human beings) as

direct light. It is known that in full Moon the mentality, mind of human

beings willbecome more open to both: good and evil influences... All depends

on ascale of human values. Guru Purnima is full of ritual ceremonies,

chantingof sacred texts, which help the person to harmonize with rhythms of a

natureand to develop control over mind. In full Moon activity of animals,

plants, viruses are activated. It is supposed that the reason is the increased

gravitation between the Earth, the Moon and the Sun and the influence of

reflected moonlight to the Earth's biosphere. Scientific discoveries,

observations and hypotheses show that the full Moon and water are closely

entwined. Ancient saints knew it and holy celebrations were performed in

purpose to connect humans closer to nature of their own reality. Everyone

knows tides. Tides produce by the gravitational attraction of the Moon and the

Sun. Tides exist also in large lakes, the atmosphere, and within the solid

crust of the earth, however, to a much smaller extent. The range of the tides

at any location is subject to many variable factors. Mainly the gravitational

forces of both the Moon and the Sun act upon the waters of the Earth. When

the Moon is full the gravitational attractions of the Moon and the Sun act to

reinforce each other. The combined tidal force is also increased. At full

Moon the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun are lined up, resulting in higher tides

than usual. The influence of the full Moon is always accompanied by the

additional influence of the Sun. The earth's surface has 80 percent water

the human body consists in more than 75% water. It is water what is

sensitive not only to high or low tides but also to the smallest micro

influences on the sub molecular level. By scientific

discoveries water is a liquid crystal, consists in clusters. Surface of water

(World Ocean) may consider, as is a huge liquid crystal. Water is one of

the most mysterious and power-intensive substances in a nature. Water cluster

has huge information what is invisible, but the actions caused by it are quite

visible. Scientific researches of last years have confirmed in a water drop a

number of 'subtle' properties. Oceans, rivers, whatever water sources contain

the information from ancient times... Is it the reason why Vedic saints called

Ganga a Great Sacred River and many rituals are connected with water?

(Today several scientists understand that attention of science would gradually

start to be displaced aside knowledge of a spiritual world. A person is

theoretically capable to get knowledge whence it can is necessary in

aspace-time range or ...beyond it when he obtained atmic Consciousness).

Water is the substance with several tens anomalies. Many of them arise from

the nature of the hydrogen bond. Behavior of water is pictorially under

control of the hydrogen bond network. There exist intermittent collective

molecular motions, influences associated with the rearrangement caused by the

hydrogen bonds under strong or extremely week inner or outer influences.

 

Life on the Earth depends on the unusual structure and anomalous nature of

water. Life in DNA form consists as a rule mostly of water. Adult human's body

consists in about 3/4 from water. Child's body consists in water significantly

more.

 

By modern science, (extremely) weak processes, which take place indifferent

water solutions or in relatively pure water influence to the water (ice, water

vapor) properties. For observation these intermittent collective motions in

water the method of highly non-linear spectroscopy is developed. Water

molecule is practically never H2O. This formula is only for a single molecule

in a huge water cluster. The lower water clusters can enlarge and to form

highly symmetric 280-molecule icosahedral water clusters. Water is as a network

of icosahedral water clusters what can dynamically form continuous networks of

open, low-density and condensed structures. (The minimum number of

possible arrangements of hydrogen bonds in thefully occupied low-density

icosahedral network is more than 150 thousand. A fluctuating network of water

molecules, with localized and overlapping icosahedral symmetry, was first

proposed in 1998 and independently found, by X-ray diffraction, in water

nanodrops on 2001).

 

The icosahedral water cluster has a highly symmetrical and beautiful

structure. By this structure can explain processes in aqueous solutions,

dilution effect in homeopathy, effect of music, prayer, sound recently

discovered by Dr Emoto.

The properties of water also depend on which materials water is in contact.

There was no pure water in a nature: even ice is a poor solvent. Sweet taste

of sugar depends on the presence of water clusters in glass of tea or in saliva,

when one eats sweet candy. All metabolisms in organisms occurs thanking

water clusters, which are transmitters of different kind information in

organisms and in a nature. In liquids, the molecules are in constant

transformable motion. Water structuring may change over a periods of time at

least 1016 times greater than the lifetime of a single hydrogen bond. (The data

obtained by X-ray and neutron diffraction). As the hydrogen bonding flickers

between arrangements, the stability of the expanded water dodecahedra will vary

and has infinite number of arrangements. In water are always present

dissolved gases and may have important and varying effects. They may be

responsible for different strange effects such as free radical production in

electromagnetic fields; changes of gravitational forces, as it take place at

full Moon.

All kind of vibrations (energetic fields) and materials be they greatly

diluted liquids, solids or gases leave their 'patterns' on the structure of

water. The information that is in a drop of water can to be transferred to the

water in a huge jar (several cubic meters) where this drop has added. Some

researchers behold water as one of the forms of the Platonic solids, which

structure reflects law of Golden Mean - universal law as a witness/carrier of

Atmic Oneness. Plato assumed the five basic elements with basic

structures. The shapes of tetrahedron - fire, cube - earth, octahedron - air,

dodecahedron - universe (ether), icosahedron - water. Plato thousands

years ago compared liquid structure in general to icosahedra as spherical atoms

and molecules. The importance of fivebasic elements in the universe (as

pinpointers to the unity in diversity) seams to be the topic of rediscovery by

modern science. On recent years, the special sensitivity of water has

received a scientific proof by Japanese scientist Dr Masaru Emoto Yokohama (born

1943). He is the head of the I.H.M.General Research Institute Inc., the

President of I.H.M.Inc.and the chief representative of I.H.M.'s HADO

Fellowship. Dr Emoto was introduced to the concept of micro cluster water in

the US and Magnetic Resonance Analysis technology. He has written several

books. One of them "The Message from Water" Vol.1 and 2 is translated into many

languages. There is no need to retell his experiments, how different

sounds, (vibrations) and probably thoughts have an influence to the structure

of water clusters. It is possible to read at Dr. Masaru Emoto's homepage is:

http://www.masaru-emoto.net/ . One can enjoy the results of Emoto's experiments

pictorially also at the site:

http://www.life-enthusiast.com/twilight/research_emoto.htm. (Both sites are not

used as references. It is the additional information). The photos of the

last site are as evident to the real influence of prayer and faith to the

clusters of water in human's body. Therefore, not only the ocean with

different outer/inner influences is mystery but also a human's body what

contain the same sensitive water clusters in different conditions, the essence

of the influence is the same. Swami tells: "The ocean is a vast

mystery. It is boundless and as old as time. It had, in its womb, chaotic

whirlpools, raging currents, and it has a face with furious moods. No one can

hope to sail over it from one shore to another land-bank, without a sturdy

reliable boat. So too, man requires the sturdy boat of divine grace to cross

the raging ocean of this Samsaara (ever-changing, ever agitated flow of life).

This ocean too is vast and full of mystery. To equip oneself with the

ocean-worthy boat of grace, one has to develop in himself the qualities of

faith and discipline. One has to clarify and purify the Chiththa (past

impressions). Contemplating the glories of God, discovering His presence in

beauty, goodness and truth seen anywhere, meditating on His form, repeating His

name - by these means the process can be made successful." (Excerpts from

Discourse of Bhagawan Sathya Sai Baba. "Body without Heart." 15 Nov 1973

Prasanthi Nilayam). PS: Dr Masaru Emoto's seminar "World Day of Love and

Thanks to Water" is on 25 July 2004 (14:00 - 17:00) at Public Hall in Eschen,

Liechtenstein.
