INDIA - Great Place on Earth
India is rich in spiritual Heritage and
every custom laid down by our ancestors to be followed
had a clear reason behind it. A fable or Mythological
story was given, as reason for following such customs
so that the adherence may commence even from
childhood; but the wonderful benefits derived by
following the mandate was really surprising. The
actual reason for such practice was appreciated at a
mature stage.
************** The traditional custom in India is that
one should not lie towards the North- having his head
placed towards the Northern direction The popular
story connected with this practice is as follows.
**************** Goddess Parvathi* was once
necessitated to leave her abode for getting water. As
there was nobody to keep watch over the house during
her absence, she made a doll and gave it life and
instructed it to keep watch over the abode and not to
allow anybody inside till she came back It happened
that Lord Shiva wanted to enter the house but
forbidden to do so by the boy (i.e. the doll with
life). Enraged by this obstruction, the Lord at once
cut of the head of the boy and entered the house.***
Meanwhile The Divine Mother entered the house and
learnt the boy had met with his end at Lord Shankara's
hand. She demanded from Lord Shankara that the boy's
life must be restored at any cost.**** Shankara at
once ordered that head of any person who slept towards
the North must be brought for this purpose. The
attendants of Lord Shiva found only an elephant in
that position and the head of the elephant was brought
and placed on the trunk of the boy and his life
restored. This is said to be the Lord Ganesa.* And was
given many boons one of which was that no good act can
be started with out Worshipping Lord Ganesa.
Incidentally Lord Shiva said that who so ever slept
towards North shall lose all his fortune and goodness
and shall be deemed to be great sinner. Another seems
to be that as Lord Yama- the Duty God-(DHARMA) resides
in the south, nobody shall sleep towards North, as
this would mean disrespect to the Lord of Dharma, as
ones feet will be towards South in this position.
******************************** Now let us Analyse
this with Scientific explanation.
************ Our Sages thought that having born, as a
human one should not fritter away his energy with out
deriving any advantage. It is the Duty of any person
born, to acquire Knowledge and proceed in the right
line of thinking and try to reach the Omnipotent as
his final goal. For this* it is absolutely necessary
to conserve one's energy to the best of one's
capacity.
************ Our body comprises of Iron, Cobalt and
Nickel in small proportion as necessary constituents
to make us strong. In places situated in the area
between latitude 0 to 40 degrees the Horizontal
component of Earth's Magnetic field exists in
considerable magnitude. Its Value at Equator is 0.38
Oersteds (C.G.S. Units) and at 40deg. It is 0.31
C.G.S. Units. This means that a unit pole placed in
this region is either attracted or repelled (depending
upon the nature of the pole) with 0,38 to 0,31 dynes
of force (depending upon the latitude of the place)
************* The magnetic lines of force runs from
South to North When a man sleeps towards the North,
these lines of forces run through him and his cerebrum
and at each instant, the iron, cobalt, nickel present
in his body is being magnetised and in a short time
the human body becomes a mass of small magnets.
Summing up all these small magnets becomeone big
Magnet of magnetic moment 'M' which will be the
resultant of pole strength multiplied by the length of
the magnets. Thus the human body will be subjected to
a force of MH dynes. Where H is the Horizontal
component if the Earth's Magnetic Field.***
*********** When a person sleeps towards North he will
be making an angle of 0 deg. With the line of action
of Force and as such the component of Force along him
will be MH Cosine 0. But Cos 0 = 1. Hence full force
of MH dynes will pass through his Cerebrum.* What does
this mean? Out of his conserved energy he will have to
spend every time MH dynes to counter act this force,
in order to keep the system in equilibrium. This means
he is losing every time MH dynes from his reserves.
Thus sleeping towards the North is a wasting disease
as his energy is drained by this quantity.
*********** When he sleeps towards the south then the
component along his body will be MH Cos 180degrees as
he is sleeping opposite to the line of action of the
Force. Cos 180 = -1. And hence he loses _MH dynes
every time. This means he gets MH dynes added on to
his system and one therefore sleeps towards South to
his best advantage.
Sleeping towards East or West would mean that the
component of the force is MH Cos 90 or MH Cos 270
degrees which is* '0'as Cos 90 and Cos 270 degrees are
equal to 0.* Hence the man is not subjected to any
reaction.
********** Persons situated at higher latitudes are
not subjected to influence of this force as the value
of H wanes out as we go higher up. It is 0.18
C.G.S.Units at U.K. and 0 at the Pole
********* Hence the maximum effect is felt by the
people living between the two Tropics and India being
one such country, our ancestors rightly laid down, as
one of the normal precepts of life to be followed,
that one should not sleep towards the North as they
wanted to discourage any wastage of Energy, however
small it may be. Only a literate in Science subject
can understand the above analysis. As our ancestors
wanted everybody whether literate or illiterate to be
benefited equally they have told these through
stories. They aimed at the results only in whatever
way the principle is conveyed to the Mass.* From this
we can see how our ancestors have framed our codes of
life with high scientific principle.*
