Pranam Q7: NDE is a very old concept of the west misunderstood and as usual explained as the mind thought . Brain death is not an end ; also the the west researched on consciousness taking two ardent meditators whether they could communicate within a far off distance under the closed conditions. After the experiments when they saw brain waves recorded for about 10 minutes under meditation, they were questioned independently; they were raising question and answers which were the same at the two ends distance apart. The swamiji answered that it is the consciousness that can communicate and travel faster than light and expand in any position. San Diego was perplexed wrote a book but got silenced, since science cannot accept without the reasoning or mathematics. It is not our loss. Similarly the consciousness might release before the mind closure which can know in memory which is available the experiences on the dead-supposed -to- be experiences as NDE. When the mind gets set, the consciousness regroups which is getting up. It is in Upanishad called sushupthi in Samadhi conditions. The body exists and the awareness can look around the earth or even can occupy a dead body which we term as (body to body experience) Koodu vittu koodu payum murai-which Adi Sankara and Tirumular etc did. Negentropy is the ingress of the consciousness and mind to any soul and entropy is the exist. In between the rarity could occur to normal people as well as can be made to occur for yogis of strong meditators. Last week in Hotstar I saw a Tamil film TEDDY based on this concept nut the director who had no deep thinking of the concept ,had brought an uneasily movable do;; with the fast action hero which made the film a big Bore. KR IRS 17321 Q8,9: " Hindu Mythology gives a brief description of the origin of menstruation as a curse ultimately leading to societal taboo. Indra's sin As noted in the Bhagwada Purana, menstruation as a curse has a long association with Lord Indra's sin. When Lord Indra disrespected Brihaspati, the former lost all his supernatural powers as well as his kingdom. His throne was conquered by the demons. He soon went to Lord Brahma seeking help. To make amends, Indra was advised by Lord Brahma to treat a young boy, a bramha-gyani, as his guru until Brihaspati was satisfied. The young boy was the son of a demon. Hence, when he learnt that the boy gave yagna-havis (offerings) to Gods and demons alike, Indra killed him. After the young boy died, Indra was accused of killing a Brahmana. The curse he invited upon himself took the form of a brutish demon that followed him wherever he ran. He finally decided to hide in a flower and begun praying to Lord Vishnu for years. Vishnu finally appeared and freed him from the sin. But, Indra could not flush out the sin completely from his mind. Indra's sin divided In order to relieve himself from the sin, he shared a quarter of his sins with four pious worldly creatures– trees, water, earth and women. Indra's sin was distributed – as sap in trees, froth in water, infertility or barren lands on Earth and menstrual blood in women. For bearing the sin, he granted a boon to each one of them - the trees could regenerate from their roots, water could purify everything, Earth could recover from its cracks over a period of time, and women would enjoy sexual intercourse more than men."
