Praanas, Divine-Links, & Auras Volume II

The External Cosmic Energy Systems and Vaastu-Science, The Cosmic Science of Auspicious Dwellings

By: Ashok Kumar Datta

This treatise will reveal subtle secrets regarding subtle-elements, which pertain to breathing system (Praanaayaama), human speech (Mantras) and the external environment (Vaastu-Science). The subtle-elements comprise subtle phenomena and the related spiritual, cosmic, semi-cosmic and semi-gross objects, processes and systems. Therefore, this spiritual knowledge will ensure healthy ecology; high spiritual elevation and high quality of life on the earth (i.e. sound health, prosperity and happiness). It may also commence a spiritual movement globally, which will effectively prevent global warming. The Indian cosmic philosophy, which pertains to internal and external environments, is termed as Darshana-Shaastra. This term reveals a secret regarding the Rishis of the Vedic era that they used to envision subtle phenomena through their cosmic powers. Subsequently, they developed applicable rules regarding Praanaayaama, Sanskrit grammar, Mantras and Vaastu-Science. However, the spiritual-knowledge regarding the subtle elements was lost along with them. The author has ‘rediscovered the lost divine-knowledge’ through his cosmic powers and the clarifications from his spiritual guides. They are astral beings now, because they were renowned Rishis of the Vedic era. One of them assumed ‘human-form’ to bless him with cosmic powers. This book is based on the extrasensory perceptions of the author. Volume-II: Cosmic and sub-cosmic dances of Vibhootis, the pairs of opposites, which procreate subtle and atomic particles; fundamental principles regarding subtle elements and external cosmic energy system; cosmic image of Vaastu-Purusha and flow-patterns of subtle energies in dwellings, the basis of Vaastu-Science; illustrative layouts of dwellings, including group-housing, commercial and industrial complexes; etc.

Nuclear Isomers

A Primer

By: Ashok Kumar Jain,Bhoomika Maheshwari,Alpana Goel

Nuclear isomers are the long-lived excited states of nuclei. Therefore, they constitute the meta-stable landscape of nuclei. The first isomer was probably identified as early as 1921. Since then, the number of isomers has been growing steadily picking up pace in recent times. Interest in nuclear isomers has grown in recent years for many reasons. The experimental capabilities to observe isomers have been expanding to cover a wider time scale. This has opened up new windows to observe and decipher the underlying nuclear structure and interactions. Further, the isomers are beginning to be seen as potential energy storage devices and nuclear clocks with a host of applications. Possible discovery of a gamma ray laser has also ignited many researches in this area. Isomers now cover the full nuclear landscape with structural peculiarities specific to each region of the nuclear chart. Exploring the nuclear isomers, therefore, provides a novel insight into the nuclear structure properties of that region. There could be many different reasons for the long lives of excited nuclear states, which lead to the classification of isomers. Isomers are broadly classified in to four classes: Spin isomers, shape isomers, fission isomers and K-isomers. Seniority isomers have also been identified which are often clubbed with the spin isomers. We discuss this classification and the underlying causes in detail. Many examples are considered to highlight the large variety of isomers. The range of half-lives covered by the isomers varies from billions of years to nano-seconds and even small. To understand this vast variation is a fascinating endeavor in itself. The angular momentum couplings, nuclear shapes, pairing etc. conspire together to give this vast range of half-lives. We go through these aspects in detail, highlighting the various selection rules at work. It is interesting that the nuclear shapes play an important role in many types of isomers. The spin isomers, which occur in spherical or, near-spherical nuclei, are generally confined to the magic numbers. Seniority isomers are largely found in semi-magic nuclei and should be explored in conjunction with the spin isomers. New developments in seniority and generalized seniority isomers are discussed in detail. As the nuclei deform; the nature of isomers changes. We take a close look into the decay properties of isomers in deformed nuclei, particularly the K isomers, the shape isomers and the fission isomers. While doing so, the theoretical and experimental developments of isomers are also addressed. A number of open questions are posed for possible new experiments and better understanding of the isomers.

PHILOSOPHIC ARCHES IN UPANISADS

By: Dr. Ashok Kumar Dutta

The idea of Brahman is too easy to understand when it is a clear picture of knowledge but not that one can understand easily. To know the existence of Brahman, it is not require to devote, vibrate, emotional, believe or faith but to know exactly what is Brahman to understand the word denotes. Is it philosophical? The question makes itself critical to elaborate the existence of that limitless Ultimate Reality which the philosophers sometimes confused to find the goal and solution of the problematic Universe concerned. The Ultimate Reality is one or many; it's an important point to be remembered at the time of discussion on this valuable topic of human genetic system and how human and other beings are created from what type of things in Universe. And the Universe is one or different Universes made to find what contexts for which purpose our Universe has created. If it is created, who was the creator? All these questions may be solve in this edition with justification.

Radhakrishnan

His Life and Ideas

By: K. Satchidananda Murty,Ashok Vohra

This book presents a critical and comprehensive biography of Radhakrishnan. The authors explain how Radhakrishnan, who had a British knighthood and an Oxford Professorship, and who did not participate in India's struggle for freedom, became important in the political life of Independent India. They show how this philosophy professor and vice chancellor often expressed radical views, developed rapport with national leaders, and became President of Indian under Nehru without losing the goodwill and regard of either the British intellectuals or the colonial government of India. It is the thought of Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan that is most often presented in the West as "Hinduism." Through an analysis of his autobiographical sketches, writings of those who knew him and worked with him, and documents, the authors come to grips with Radhakrishnan's complex personality which, in spite of his greatness and varied achievements, is all too human.
