We’ve Lost Our Minds…

A current issue of the Scientific American Mind recorded virtuosos arbitrarily ever. All names were western aside from two from the Muslim world. I think in an unexpected way. While IQ scores are allegedly rising, innovation likewise makes us lose some of our regular mind capacity. We no longer do mental work, for example, since we rely on upon number crunchers and PCs. 

Our folks and grandparents, in the east and the west, did mental math as per usual. Presently, number crunchers have assumed control. 

At that point there is memory helper capacity. Western ministers play out their religious administrations by perusing from a book. In India, town pandits perform customs essentially by memory. Griots of West Africa, the managers of oral histories, can recount these histories from memory taking all things together night sessions. The hafiz can discuss the whole Quran by heart. 

There was this story I heard in Patiala. Indian rulers are outstanding supporters of expressions and sciences. The Guru Granth Sahib has 6,000 psalms in it. The Patiala Sikh lord inquired as to whether there was any individual who could sit in one asana and recount the whole heavenly content. The educated granthi said that he was prepared to sit in one asana for every one of those hours, gave the audience too sat in that one asana. 

Thus both the reciter and the audience sat in one stance completely through, still. After the recitation, the lord masterminded the admired granthi to be sent home in the illustrious palanquin. In transit home, the sacred man was stunned and amazed to see individuals bowing with love as he passed. At the point when the palanquin arrived and the educated granthi landed, he was stunned and amazed to see that the ruler himself was one of the palanquin-bearers. It is through such worship for information that these conventions have proceeded. 

In the science exhibition hall in St Paul, Minnesota, I went over an examination one could take an interest in. You needed to hear a recording with headphones, and in the meantime, read a couple passages not quite the same as the recording being played. It was underestimated that one couldn't read so anyone might hear something else while tuning in to another recording. 

Be that as it may, the "researchers" had not depended on a "meditator" doing this test. I had no issue doing both! It is a basic matter of pulling back the psyche starting with one sense and applying it then onto the next. We have additionally tried in our ashram research center, a conventional veda-pathin or reciter of the vedas. It is ordinarily unbelievable that one would deliver alpha cerebrum waves, symptomatic of aggregate unwinding, while at the same time talking. In any case, the veda-pathin was creating alpha waves and we have recorded that in our lab information. 

These deeds of the brain are accomplished without scratch pad, number crunchers and PCs. Presently back to the discussion of 'virtuoso'. We should relate the ones in India. There was Varahamihira in 505-587 CE, who composed on subjects as changed as trigonometry, space science, crystal gazing, and marriage. Lord Bhoja of the Parmar line in the eleventh century composed on drug, engineering, and even about flying vehicles with mercuric vapor as fuel.
