One of the most discussed topics among physicists, astronomers and cosmologists, is the origin of our universe. A number of theories have been put forward to explain the origin of the universe. Based on the evidence, the theory of Big Bang is widely accepted today. What is the Big Bang? Around 13.8 billion years ago, all the energy and the matter was compressed into a miniscule point. There was nothing else, no space or sky outside it. Everything was contained in that point. All at once, this point (which could not bear that high density and very high temperature), started expanding at an incredibly fast rate. In a split-second, it was the size of a grape, an instant later, a km-wide. Within a minute, it was billions of km-wide…and so on. Since then, the universe is not only expanding, it is expanding with faster speed as the time is passing. It's a mind-boggling question that has intrigued the scientists and the commoners alike for centuries is: “What was there before the Big Bang? Was there a universe or many more universes before our own universe? Will there be more universes after this universe? Are there parallel universes or cyclic universes? Was there just one big bang (that we know for this universe) or were there two or more big bangs? What are the theories which attempt to explain the phenomenon of the ‘Universe before the Big Bang’.
A Near-Death Experience (NDE) is the recollected experience of someone who has been declared ‘clinically dead’ by the doctors, followed by resuscitation (the act of bringing someone back to life). Common traits that have been reported by NDErs (persons having near-dear experiences) are: An awareness of being dead; A sense of peace, well-being, painlessness and other positive emotions; a sense of removal from the world; an intense feeling of unconditional love and acceptance; experiencing euphoric environments, an out-of-body experience (OBE), that means, a perception of one's body from an outside position, sometimes observing medical professionals performing resuscitation efforts; a "tunnel experience" or entering a zone of darkness; a rapid movement toward a bright light; being reunited with deceased loved ones; receiving a ‘life review’, commonly referred to as "seeing one's life in a flash-back before one's eyes"; approaching a border or a decision by oneself or others to return to one's body, often accompanied by a reluctance to return; and suddenly finding oneself back inside one's body. Although majority of the NDErs report pleasant experiences, a few of them may have distressing or unpleasant experiences also. This book consists of 13 chapters, categorized into three sections: (i) Introduction and Overview, (ii) Some True Stories, and (iii) Scientific Interpretation.
There are three types of intelligences: cognitive, emotional, and spiritual with the associated quotients: Intelligence Quotient (IQ), Emotional Quotient (EQ), and Spiritual Quotient (SQ), respectively. Whereas, the IQ measures the intellectual capacity of a person, EQ measures the person's self-awareness, feeling of empathy to be sensitive to situational feelings; SQ refers to the persons’ ability to build their capacity for the meaning of life, the vision and value they hold, and strive for the self-actualization by connecting with inter self and the higher self. It has interface with spirituality to help oneself create a balance amongst the various facets of one’s life. Spiritual Quotient (SQ) is the sum total of IQ and EQ. IQ is the functionality of left brain; EQ is the functionality of right brain; and SQ is the functionality of whole brain. SQ has been understood to be the most fundamental of the three 'Q's. The present book is about the “Spiritual Intelligence: its significance, applications, measurement, and the development techniques”. The book is divided into twenty chapters, explaining the skills, aspects, components of Spiritual Intelligence and how to apply, measure and develop one’s SQ.
Mind-reading typically refers to the ability of discerning or interpreting someone else's thoughts, feelings, or intentions. Mind Reading has two components: human-based, and (ii) device-based (artificial intelligence). Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to programming computers to do tasks that normally require human intelligence, like learning, problem-solving, and understanding language. It is like giving computers the ability to think and make decisions on their own, similar to how humans do. AI helps machines learn from data, adapt to new situations, and perform tasks without being explicitly programmed for each step. This book covers the topics on human-based and device-based mind reading and interpretation (artificial intelligence, that is divided into 32 chapters and the following 8 sections: (i) Mind-Reading and Artificial Intelligence: Introduction and Overview, (ii) Human-Based Mind Reading, (iii) Artificial Intelligence: Introduction & Types of Learning, (iv) Device-Based Mind Reading And Virtual Assistants, (v) Applications and Opportunities of Artificial Intelligence, (vi) Artificial Intelligence: Ethical Issues, Risks and Regulations, (vii) Artificial Consciousness, and (viii) Artificial Intelligence in India: Status, and the Way Forward.
The Sanskrit word for ‘Siddhi’ means “perfection,” “accomplishment” or “success”. It refers to the fact that siddhis are the fruit of the perfect achievement of spiritual practices. Siddhis are generally the powers to control the self, control others and control the natural world. Although siddhis appear to be supernatural, they are actually accessible to all humans in this birth itself. They arise naturally when, through spiritual practices etc., the emptiness and openness of the mind is realized.A Siddha means ‘realized, perfected person,’ a term generally applied to a practitioner who has, through his practice, realized his dual goals of siddhis and body-immortality. The most authentic text sources for attaining Siddhis are: (i) ‘Yoga Sutras of Patanjali’, (ii) Srimad Bhagavantam, and (iii) Kashmir Shaivism (in Hinduism); (iv) ‘The Visuddhimagga’ (the Path of Purification), through Kasina Meditation (in Buddhism), (v) ‘Atma Siddhi Shastra’, (in Jainism), which includes Labdhis, and (vi) ‘Sri Guru Granth Sahib’ (in Sikhism), besides many other texts like Hanuman Chalisa, Samkhya Philosophy etc. These concepts of Siddhis, are explained in details, in this book consisting of twelve chapters. The book is strongly supported by over 110 verses in Sanskrit (shlokas) along with their Roman script, translation and explanation in English language. This Book is humbly dedicated to Maharishi Patanjali, Author of Patanjali Yoga Sutras.
