MY SCIENTIFIC JOURNEY IN SEARCH OF GOD
BY RAMANA ANNAMRAJU
I took this arduous journey and found something that I did not expect!! The truth I found is entirely different than what I expected!
My mother is religious . She is devout Hindu. She used to get up early hours and chant Hindu scriptures
She visited temples frequently . I was dragged along with her for some times willingly and most of the times unwilling! Later years my mother became more tolerant for other religions and went to Church with my ex wife few times to my surprise. I noticed one thing that stuck in my mind, she never feared for death. She passed away calm and peaceful.
My father is true agnostic. He never cared for religion much and dismissed all the religious rituals, psychic stuff as nothing but fraud. He had love for medicine and everything has to be logical and rational. Those were his firm beliefs and never waivered until just before his death. I had profound influence of my father’s thinking . I was little amused and curious when I found out that he was kind of started believing in psychic stuff before he passed away.
That was the extent of my childhood influences of religion and psychic stuff! At the best I am agnostic if not atheistic. There I met stalwart of physics , my professor in my freshman year of the college. There is no GOD other than Newton. Universe works with perfect harmony and with out missing a beat
tuning to his indigenous mathematical equations . Newton’s equations are almighty , it tells you how the celestial bodies in the sky and materialistic machines on earth works! The cars, planes and ships
and even planets and the stars has to abide the laws of physics . Space and Time are finite and I can measure everything. There is no difference between past and future. If you throw a ball, any given moment , I can tell you where the ball was 30 seconds ago and where the ball is going to be in 30 seconds . Industrial revolution came on the back of Newtonian equations with a bang and changed the mankind forever ! I can predict future and past with utmost precision. There is no GOD! Even if he exists HE is nothing but spectator. Psychic stuff is fraud and do not follow the language of science. Religion is poor people ‘s opium. My eccentric professor and Newton became my new Gods!
I entered my senior year of college as a Physics major! I met my new professor of Physics, who is very religious. I am skeptical about learning from him doubting about his legions to science .Then he introduced me “Einstein’s Theory of Relativity” ! Einstein poked serious holes in Newtonian theories. Devil is in the details. The planet Mercury did not follow the rules of Newton either blue flame that we see in the fire! These exceptions created nigh mares to Newton’s followers!
But a simple patent clerk’s views from a government office shattered the foundations of Newtonian theories. Space and Time are not rigid. The place you are born and the time you are born is not rigid fact and it is simply relative view of your family and friends. “ everything is relative” ! Einstein backed up his theories with elegance and beauty called “General field equations” which are time tested and most reverend among scientists even for today!! New buzz word is “Time Travel” ! Einstein induced religious overtones in his famous saying “ God does not play dice”! Very few able to grasp and understand Einstein vision of nature.
My religiously inclined professor explained the most complex subjects of Einstein with Hindu mythological stories with ease and beauty! I used to catch him between the classes ,walk with him and engage in lively discussions. He talked that Gods don’t die and Gods can travel million miles in a flip of a second. He created flaws in my atheistic belief and I wondered “God is not dead??? “
I graduated Physics degree with honors and moved on to do my post graduate degree in Physics. Quantum Mechanics!! Mathematical mumbo jumbo !! In the midst of confusion and endless math
I saw something extraordinary! Quantum physics describes the behavior of small particles that are embedded in our bodies and mind . The particles that we think as a matter is not matter at all!!!!!
They are just waves of Potential!! Waves of Thought! If you are confused don’t feel bad , so I was!!
You and me are just are thoughts of some one?? We are not real??? There must be something wrong in describing ! It is completely nuts!! But quantum physics did not care what you think. Based on those weird principles , computers and televisions are operated. Quantum physics came with evidence after evidence to laugh at skeptics including Albert Einstein. The extraordinary genius of our times, is forced to admit to the strangeness and weirdness of nature. Quantum physics came with better story than science fiction writers. . A simple Religious overtone became spiritual giant! The particles we thought as a matter, are omnipresent, omniscient , omnipotent. The particle is every where , every time and all the places same time..
The particles in my body has no time barrier and place barrier ! Am I God??????????
The quantum Physics says, I am GOD!! LOL.. If I am everywhere, all the times how come I don’t feel ??
How come I don’t see it?? Average Joe’s idiotic question why you are paying your cab if you can be everywhere any time? Am I laughing stock for village idiots???. Then I realized average Joe did not invent computers, did not discover any new drugs for diseases, did not design planes. At the best he
found moon shine by accident! The question is as relevant as ,what is color of your anger?” Grammatically right but meaningless question!!
Now, where do I take my journey to find the truth? I am confused! What is Reality? What is purpose of my life? If God exists for what reason? I feel like I have no answers but lots of questions?
Few years passed with frustration with out any answers! Then I got a break. I got the answer from an unusual place … sin city..Las Vegas.. Yes… from Vegas, magician David Copperfield show ! He takes coin and moves between his hands rapidly. I have seen him throwing coin from left hand to right hand. The coin must be in his right hand! My eyes are no mistake! I saw clearly the coin is moving to right hand from left!! Just not me. Every one in the audience.. saw it, convinced the coin is in the right hand..
There is no doubt coin must be in his right hand. Whoops!!.. There is no coin in his right hand.
Audience amused, clapped and admitted this is magic trick!!
In fact there is no trick. On careful analysis the scientists realized we tricked our selves.! Our mind is the one that created illusion. Illusion of the movement of the coin. After 4 times juggled between the hands ,fifth time the coin never left . But our brain registered a FALSE movement ! The magicians exploit that our deceptive cognitive responses. It is a starling conclusion .. The “truth” is very different from the “reality “ we observe. The world around us is more of reality show than the actual
Truth. This point of view is confirmed by Heisenberg Uncertainty principle. Is that “Truth“ that is hiding in our minds is “God”??
I started my journey looking for God with the humongous universe. Then I moved on to quantum Physics , looking for “God” in the small world of particles, finally I ended up in my own brain looking for that elusive “God”!
Study of mind! Enter the world of neuro sciences!! This is one of the most under studied branches of science in all sciences. . Though I did not become doctor, I am not too far away from my father’s fundamental belief, body and mind are not two separate entities and he approached patients with that holistic approach.
Then I came across workings of an author Michael Talbot. This relatively unknown author was born in Grand rapids, Michigan and died of cancer at the age of 38 ( 1953-1992).
Michael Talbot described he was having unusual experiences starting from age three ,having visions, Premonitions . He saw the objects moving .Things moving in the house like chairs ,Tables and silver with out any interference. He is used to see aura around people. He said he had psychic abilities.
At that age of sixteen some one else would be spending at the foot ball field but not consumed by
Psychic thoughts. Hold on..Before you laugh I am not that naïve to believe some crackpot stories
Particularly when we have so many psychic frauds and story tellers around us.
But Michael Talbot did something different than so called psychics could not do. He has written book called “Holographic Universe” . Even the seasoned scientists were stunned for his insights in that book.
Hologram is three dimensional object created from two dimensional image through laser beams.
He convincingly argued the psychic phenomenon or telepathy is only possible if our brain is subjected to holographic principles. Just not our brain the entire universe is hologram , he said, we are simple three dimensional projections from the surface of the universe. We are simply a part of the movie being played from the outer regions of the universe. He said our brain is conspiring with the universe thus creating Illusion of reality. He showed the way to recreate this phenomenon through the branch of mathematics is called “Fourier Transformations”.
The Stephen Hawking , genius of our times is forced to admit that he was wrong previously and the only way out of this conundrum for the scientists is to subscribe the idea of , Holographic Universe and Holographic Brain, suggested by Michael Talbot. After long passing of Michael this is the only theory that is gaining momentum among the physicists. Michael argued Eastern mysticism has place in Mathematics and science. Einstein once said “Imagination is knowledge” , and Michael Talbot stands tall on top of the ladder of the imagination. This unsung hero showed way out for scientists to believe in magical powers of God!
In a Physical world you can not be in two places at the same time, but in quantum world you do !
In Physical world , you feel pain after you get hurt , but in quantum world it could be other way around!
In Quantum world, Distance has no meaning , future and past are one and the same. . It defies our common sense and defies experiences we see around us!
Is it possible our mind can exhibit quantum laws??? If so, premonition or psychic phenomenon is simply
daily thoughts of the day! In recent , publication in the field of “quantum biology” , scientists came out astounding discovery that the neurons in our brain goes back in time all the times. ! Time travel in the brain is normal occurrence.
Now I may think it is possible to see my future my self ,but important question remains how do I read other people ‘s mind?? It is just joke…. Hold on ..may not be so ..said Dr.Ramachandran.
Dr.Ramachandran is neurologist, a research scholar at the Scripps institute of neuro sciences at the university of California in Sandiego. Well respected among the peers and they call him Einstein of Neuro sciences. This three pound flesh so called “brain” that you can hold on palm of your hand has an amazing quality. It can contemplate the vastness of the inter stellar space ( the universe) and it can contemplate the meaning of infinity, and also it can contemplate, contemplate the meaning of infinity which we call it self awareness! Some of the neurons in your brain which are called “mirror neurons” exactly emulate the other persons neurons. It copies everything in other person’s thinking in your brain with out any physical contact! If other person’s mind is going into future ,part of your mind is following it!!
Now could we say psychic phenomenon is not completely out of context of science!
Now you say well all this good , I agree there are some psychics but what is special about them and not me? Though it is average joe’s question, it is still valid question.
Two world re known scientists came up with urprising answer! Dr.Amit Goswami of Oregon University and Brooklyn Born Physicist , late David Bohm say the mind is the problem. If your mind is with full of hatred, full of prejudices , and harsh language create the artificial barriers to fully feel the magical powers of quantum phenomenon. Prejudices create the rigid separateness of the world!
Some of the spiritualists say technique to reduce these artificial barriers is compassion. Another technique to bring down these artificial barriers could be Yoga and mediation.
Believing in God with out compassion is like a emperor with out clothes.
I personally feel compassion and kindness triumphs all and has the ability to take us to the magical kingdom of God!
“ Manav Seva is Madahv Sev” is scribed on one of the Hindu Temples in Georgia , means “service to mankind is service to God”
“Love your neighbor “ when Jesus says, now I realized it has whole lot of meaning behind it!!
My scientific search for God ended up with very simple and powerful message of compassion!

BOSE-BOSON-GOD'S PARTICLE
Ramana Annamraju
“The more I study the more I know.
The more I know the more ideas I have.
The more ideas I have the more they abstract.
The more they abstract the less I know the truth.”
The name of the scientist is BOSE and the particle which they refer to as
God’s particle is called BOSON which named after him.
This Bose did not invent speakers, this Bose is nothing to do with plants or
independence of India but he did help to invent new kind of matter that truly exotic.
This state of matter defies common sense and brings you closer to God’s
awesome display. If you enter this zone you can literally catch the light with your fist.
You can go back in time and see your past. You feel yourself looks like God , you are
Omni present , means you are everywhere , anywhere and all the time.
You are here, you are there same time in a timeless zone. This is much more closure to reality than
Science fiction.
The state of Matter is Bose-Einstein Condensate state and the
scientist name is Satyendra Nath Bose .He is simply referred as Bose.
Satyendra Nath Bose was born on January 1st 1894.. in Calcutta,
India. He was the only son among seven sisters.
.His father worked for Indian Railways. when Bose was three
years old an Indian astrologer predicted " He will face severe
obstacles in life but he will be an exceptional genius and attain
great fame" . It is ironic this child grows up and makes predictions
in mathematics and physics seems to be as astrological as it comes.
Bose attended Presidency college in Calcutta finished his Masters Degree in Mathematics and Physics and joined
as a lecturer in Calcutta university in 1921.
One day While he was lecturing to his students , he made wrong assumption, that a coin had two “Heads” instead of one Head and one Tail. He proceeded to complex equations and came back with starling results that coincided with the some of the most advanced experimental results in physics of that day. Bose realized the error, what he made is not error at all and invented new branch of mathematics, later called Bose-Einstein statistics, believing in an underlying fact that at the core level, head and tail , you and me are one and the same,… indistinguishable …
When no one cared to believe in India about this genius’s work , he found a world famous fan, legendary scientist Albert Einstein. Albert Einstein loaned his name to Bose and published series of papers and made Bose’s name well known among world scientists. This new found recognition took him around the world and allowed him to work under famous scientists of that day like Madame Curie (invented X-Rays) during 1924.
Bose also worked under a scientist named De Broglie who believed matter , just like you and me are not solid but in certain situations behave like waves on the water pond. They call them “matter waves”. The state that is now called “Bose-Einstein condensate state” .The particles that make these matter waves are called “ BOSONS” which are named after Satyendra Nath BOSE. They also call them God’s particles.
Bose- Einstein condensate state is one of the peculiar solutions
derived from the Bose- Einstein statistical model.. If matter is
subjected to extreme low temperatures matter start behaving like
waves. This was one of the direct experimental validations of the De
broglie matter waves. During this cooling process the particles
behave like wave packets mingle each other and form several exotic
forms of matter . Super conductivity is one of the characteristics
that emerges from this process. Electricity can be conducted from one
end to the other with out any loss of energy. Light can be brought to
almost grinding halt. If we further cool this exotic matter these
wave packets merge together and becomes bigger wave and assume one
single quantum state.. It is certainly peculiar of peculiar. Now
officially matter has five states , solid, liquid, gas ,plasma, and
Bose-Einstein condensate state. A surprising and mind boggling
results are expected from this area of research.
After brief stint in Europe, Bose returned to India and became Vice Chancellor of Santinikaten which was founded by Ravindranath Tagore. It is notable Tagore himself had dedicated his book Visva Parichay (Introduction to the World of Science) to Bose.
Bose passed away in 1974 with out fan fare in Calcutta, India.
In 1995 , Denver university Professors Eric A. Cornell, Carl E.Wieman,Wolfgang Ketterle won the Noble Prize for discovering the Bose-Einstein’s condensate state, a truly an exotic and strange matter. The mind boggling results are expected from this area of research with in this decade.
Now Sayendranath Bose name is descended from the heavens after his long passing.
The first task of multi billion dollar CERN labs that is due
to start soon is to hunt for that hidden Boson, God’s particle which is named after
Satyendra Nath Bose.
There are more than 10 Noble prizes are awarded relating to Bose-Einstein’s condensate state.
Noble committee must grant Nobel prize posthumously to a great and ignored scientist ,hailed from impoverished India, brought humankind closure to God’s awesome powers , Satyaendra Nath Bose, who truly deserves.
Bose owns our souls!!!
Reincarnation – Information Content
The core belief of Hindu religious thought is REINCARNATION. A man or woman will be born again and again assuming higher or lower forms of life according to the laws of their Karma , until he/she will be unified with God . An abstract substance or some kind of matter that moves from one body to the next is called SOUL with Vedic name ATMA. According to Jainism ( Another sect of Hindu religion with extended philosophy) believes not only , you and me have SOULS but also rocks and sticks have SOULS too. In fact Jainism is the only religion does not discriminate between organic ( living) and inorganic ( non living)
According to Hinduism ATMA ( SOUL) is the unchanging, infinite, immanent, and transcendent reality which is the Divine Ground of all matter, energy, time, space, being, and everything .
Is ATMA or SOUL the BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATE STATE…?????
Bose-Einsten condensate state is a transient state with exotic information appears to be like a wave. A theory that describes the information of those states is called Quantum Information Theory.
Not the religious scholars , but the young Turks of the advanced sciences are daring to compare the SOUL to Bose-Einstein Condensate state . Since we can visualize Bose-Einstein condensate state,we have first time the flash picture of the SOUL.
SOUL is nothing but information content.
According to Hinduism the information complex is centered on a 1- (2- or 3-) dimensional array of 6 to 96 CHAKRAS. When soul leaves the body , the SOUL , BOSE-Einstein Condensate state assumes the shape of CHAKRA with new exotic particles called Microleptons. and enters into new space and reincarnate again with new body. REINCARNATION through BOSE-EINSTEIN condensate state.
We don’t know either science imitating religion or religion imitating science ,particularly HINDU religion, is quite interesting. and thought provoking.
Since BOSE is part of our SOULS , we owe loads of gratitude to an unsung hero, SATENDRA NATH BOSE, who brought us one step closer to GOD!!!!

KRISHNA-LORD OF GRAVITY By
RAMANA ANNAMRAJU
When I was growing up in rural India I used to attend story telling at my village square. They are called Harikatha's , ( story of God) . It is usually a month long story starting from 9pm to midnight, recited by reverend figures.. I attended one of them and the story was epic Mahabharatha. Maabharatha is saga about the Kingdoms ,war between cousins, with fascinating twists and turns and complexity of thousands of characters , supposedly based on true events. One character stands out very much in the epic saga is "Krishna".
Krishna is mischievous ,diplomatic , sexual, sensual and very romantic with extraordinary powers. Krishna's appearance was described in the epic is strikingly handsome , dark looking with bluish undertones with teasing eyes. Though he has his small kingdom , he likes being part time jockey for the one of the finest warriors in Mahabharatha called "Arjuna " When Krishna was small kid he used to steal women's clothes , while they are taking bath in the river , and he made them beg for their clothes ,while being amused. Calling him knotty kid is an understatement. One particular story about him , used to bring me quite a laugh . Krishna has eight wives with sixteen thousand girl friends. Yes indeed, eight wives!! . One of the wives got jealous one day , though he is spending lot of time with her , she wants to check on him. She sends few messengers to see if any other wives are happy with their husband Krishna, whom all they share. Expecting disgruntled wives rage, their husband not spending time with them she is eagerly waiting for the messengers. All the messengers came back and said all the wives are very happy because he is there every night with all of them .The jealous wife got puzzled and confused about her husband how could he spend time with all the wives at the same time while he is with her. It always bought me a smile , wonder what a lucky guy Krishna is, he makes all the eight wives happy at the same time. What a power he got!!!
After long, long, long time of Krishna's era , say after thousand of years , a scientist came along from a different part of the world. .His name is Issac Newton. As we all know, one of his famous discoveries is Gravitational force. He described the gravitational force is the same one that makes the apple fall to the ground and the same force that governs the earth rotating around the sun. . He combined heavens and earth with simple equation describing the gravitational force. He realized the mathematics is the language of science. He invented the calculus along the way. He is unchallenged king of physics for centuries. .Newton's gravitational theory brought unprecedented advances in science and technology.
After almost 250 years passing of Newton, there is patent clerk in Germany had some doubts about Newton's description of gravity. This unknown clerk realized, Newton did not really understand how Gravity works, and he came up with starling discovery and dazzled the world with his theories. His name is Albert Einstein. He described Gravity, as the path taken by the objects ,in the fabric of space-time curvature. Einstein combined our three dimensional world ( Length, width, height) and single dimension of time ,came up with the fabric of space -time.
To illustrate an example of Einstein's theory, Imagine a folded saree ( a long piece of cloth) stretched by four corners at few feet high to the ground.. If you place a heavy bowling ball in the saree , it creates a v shaped deep dent in the middle of the cloth. If you place a marble ( a small round shaped sphere ) near the edge , the marble moves in a circular motion along the curvature and dents created by the heavy object ,in this instance , the bowling ball. Now if you transfer the same concept , that a saree is fabric of space time and the bowling ball is our Sun and the marble is Earth , the Earth moves along the curvature of space-time fabric, created by heavy weight of the sun, and gives the illusion of force of gravity.
According to Einstein's theory, the saree is just not only represents space , but also represents time as strange it sounds.. The events occurred to us are points in the space time fabric. Your baby's birthday celebration or your father's death is a just a point in the space-time continuum created by gravity. As you noticed in space-time continuum, time is a dimension .. The space around us and the events occurred to us are intertwined in a strange way, became a celebrated theory of all times and elevated the status of Einstein to Genius.
To understand the Time dimension , take two points in the saree and these two points represent two distinct time periods and besides the different physical coordinates. If you put sufficient weight in the middle of the saree , then V shape becomes much closer ,and the two points becomes closer and closer as you increase the weight. As the two different points gets closer then you can walk from one time period to other time period with a simple step with out traveling. Time travel is not any more fantasy and matter of when we create that kind of machine. In fact space- time tunneling is much more real in the sub atomic world than any other place. The particles that made up of our bodies travel through space time with ease. . It means they go to different places and different time periods like child's play. Unfortunately this phenomenon is not big enough to be noticed by our physical senses. The laws of physics at the sub atomic level not only requires but demands a distinct possibility that we travel through space-time , however infinitely small the possibility is.
Coming back to our hero Krishna, he seems to master the gravity ,bend the space time curvature , appeared and disappeared, any time, any place at his will. Task of keeping all the wives happy , of course is a trivial matter for this master .But in no doubt either He created those laws or mastered those laws of physics , exerting enormous energy to bend space -time to move around the distances and times at his free will in a instant for his wife's amazement. .Einstein must have seen the glimpse of this master's magic. Einstein not only believed in that supreme being , but also believed different forces of nature are derived from one and only the universal force . He went for hunting for that universal force through mathematics and physics , that he called "unified filed theory" .Unite all the natural forces in to one. But there is ghost coming from subatomic world is haunting Einstein's universe. Einstein's vision of universe is orderly ,methodical and structured. But the facts and experiments coming from sub atomic universe( quantum mechanics) are nothing but chaotic ,chances and luck of draw . Einstein's beautiful, structured macro universe is in direct contradiction with the crazy, unpredictable micro Universe. Einstein had intense aversion to the casino description of the universe and made famous quote " God does not play dice with the universe" . But the facts coming from micro universe are indisputable.
Since Macro universe is evolved from micro universe we can not have two different sets of laws of nature. But we are confronted with two sets of laws , one for micro universe and the other for Macro universe, and both seems to be superficially valid. Scientists could not explain both universes under one set of laws. This open dark secret swept under the rug ,by scientists from both sides and kept working on their own theories. Genius of Macro universe, Einstein kept working on his grandiose idea of unification of all the natural forces in to one ( unified field theory) and unlock the mystery of the universe to see foot prints of the master creator . He was working unsuccessfully on unification theory until he died in his sleep. The theory went in to hibernation with out old grand master and from the loud noises and protests of yuppies of micro universe ( quantum world) . .Decades passed by as the brotherhood of scientific world from micro and Macro worlds acted like they don't know each other.
But nature won't sit down quite with conflicting laws. .The nature reveals it self the truth sometimes through beautiful mathematical equations. Mathematics is language of science but some times seems to be the language of God. Mathematics did not like the conflict between the laws of Macro universe and laws of micro universe. To accommodate the macro and micro universes a new bizarre and strange theory called "String theory" was born through mathematical complexities. String theory explained, the micro and Macro universes with beauty and elegance. String theory as in the name says, the basic units of the matter are not atoms, not protons not neutrons and not even quarks , really it is 100th billion billion times smaller than quark . It is a "string" looks like rubber band. It is not physical matter but it is strand of energy like a rubber band. The vibrations and symphonies of this strings with permutations and combinations , may make an appearance as matter like protons ,neutrons etc.. As many variations as it can be produced by the notes from the violin , the strings can produce that many variations in the nature and appear as different elements. So our bodies are made up of billions and billions of vibrating energy strings as theory puts it, now after all, energy channeling does not sound like as quack idea as it seems. But there is something more these strings do.. They vibrate in more than three dimensions that you and me experience in everyday life. .They vibrate in another dimension , like Time dimension from Einstein's famous theory but also vibrate in 10 other physical dimensions ... We can not visualize those additional dimensions with our naked eye, at the best we struggle to comprehend it through mathematics.
There is living scientist, he has bachelor's degree in Linguistics and history besides other credentials , a volunteer in the McGovern presidential campaign , a soft spoken man , and his name is not well known in general public, but the scientific world call him Genius, compare him to the greatness of Einstein . He is scientist for scientists and his name is Edward Witten , Professor at institute for Advanced study ,Princeton, New Jersey, where Einstein spent his last years of life.. Edward witten solved the many riddles of string theory with his mathematical and scientific prowess to the amazement of his fellow scientists. He proposed an additional 11th dimension as one of the strings with enormous energy, stretches as big as just like our universe .It also explains the existence of parallel universes with in grasp of our hand .But we are trapped in higher dimensions, could not able to move to the other universes like as we are trapped by four walled room with out doors. We are searching for a window in the dark room . We may get a rare flash picture of parallel universe on the other side of the wall , where the hunt continues at Fermi labs in Illinois, and soon to be operational at CERN labs in Switzerland . These bizarre ideas are not coming from crack pots but a Noble laureates with unparallel credentials. Yes!! A single strand of energy , the string, grown in to as big as our universe as the 11 th dimension , just like membranes . In short they are called "Branes". These ideas may be very novel to westerners, but easterners understand with little ease with out advanced degrees in physics through puranas and Vedas.
Two Indian scientist's Contributions appear from a distant past in the String theory after their long passing. One is Satyendranath Bose ( The particles called Bosons named after him ) and the other one is Srinivasa Ramanujam , along with his mystic mathematical modular functions.
Coming back to epic Mahabharatha our beloved Krishna ,lord of gravity ,who is famous chariot jockey for great warrior Arjuna . As Arjuna enters the war with his famous jockey Krishna with his chariot , was extremely saddened and disappointed about fighting his fellow friends ,cousins and most of all his teachers. Arjuna felt he does not have inner strength to kill his own family, friends and most of all his reverend teachers. But Krishna took him away from the war scene and gave him the most powerful and revealing wisdom of life and death in order to convince him that he is just mere pawn in his grand old universe, . The conversation between Krishna and Arjuna is called " The Bhagwat Gita" (song of God) which became the sacred text for Hindu religion. As strange as 11th dimension in string theory ,with amazing coincidence, 11th chapter in Bhagwad Gita reveals the Multidimensional universal form of Krishna.
Here is some of the excerpts from Bhagwat Gita in Sanskrit language followed by translation.( Translation from Stephen Mitchell)
KRISHNA TO ARJUNA
Sanskrit: pasya me partha rupani sataso 'tha sahasrasah nana-vidhani divyani nana-varnakrtini ca :
Look Arjuna Thousands Millions of my divine forms Beings of all kinds and sizes Of every color and shape
Sankrit: hym :ihaika-stham jagat krtsnam pasyadya sa-caracaram mama dehe gudakesa yac canyad drastum icchasi
The whole Universe , all things Animate or inanimate Are gathered here-Look -enfolded Inside my infinite body
But since you are not able To see me with mortal eyes I will grant you divine sight ..look Look! The depths of my power!
______________________________ ARJUNA TO KRISHNA
With innumerable mouths and eyes Faces too marvelous to stare at Dazzling ornaments, innumerable Weapons uplifted, flaming----
Crowned with fire, wrapped In pure light, with celestial fragrance He stood forth as the infinite God, composed of all wonders
If a thousand suns were to rise And stand in the noon sky , blazing Such brilliance would be like the fierce Brilliance of that mighty self
Arjuna saw the whole universe Enfolded, with its countless billions Of life forms, gathered together In the body of the God of gods
All gods in your body And multitudes of beings, Lord, And Brahma on his lotus throne And the seers , and the shining angles
I see you every where , with billions Of arms, eyes, bellies, faces Without end, middle, or beginning Your body the whole universe, Lord
I see you beginningless, endless, Infinite power , with billion Arms, the sun and moon Your eyeballs, the flames of your mouth
lighting the universe with splendor you alone fill all space and the three worlds shudder when they see your astounding, terrifying form
As moths rush into a flame And are burned in an instant, all Beings plunge down your gullet And instantly are consumed
you gulp down all worlds, everywhere swallowing them in your flames and your rays, Lord Vishnu, fill all the universe with dreadful brilliance
who are you in this terrifying form? Have mercy, Lord ..grant me even A glimmer of understanding To prop up my staggering mind

KRISHNA SAID:
-I am death, shatterer of worlds, annihilating all things with or without you, these warriors in their facing armies will die
Therefore stand up; win glory; Conqueror the enemy; rule Already I have struck them down; You are just my instrument Arjuna
ARJUNA SAID:
Why should they bow, eternal Creator, infinite lord? You are both being and non being, And what is beyond them both,
The primal God, the Primordial Person , the ultimate place Of the universe, the knower and the known, The presence that fills all things
Again and again I bow you Form all sides, in every direction, Majesty infinite in power You pervade- no you are -all things
Having seen what no mortal has seen I am joyful, yet I quiver with dread, Show me your other form -please- The one that I know; have mercy

KRISHNA SAID
Graciously for your sake Arjuna I showed you my highest form- Dazzling, infinite, primal Which no one has seen but you
The vision that you have been granted Is difficult to attain Even the Gods are always Longing or behold me like this
Not by study or rites Or alms or ascetic practice Can I be seen in this cosmic Form , as you have just seen me

Krishna blesses Arjuna with divine sight , which could not been seen with naked eye to feel the awesome display of his multidimensional and multicolored universal form .As observed by Arjuna, Krishna's transcendental form has no beginning ,no middle and no ending. Krishna's universal form embodies every kind of life exits on earth and every where. In his multi dimensions, Krishna displayed the time dimension, where he made Arjuna realized all his reverend teachers, cousins, and his dear ones already killed. .Through Krishna's universal form and his amazing powers Arjuna realized, he is just an actor to follow his duties as a warrior in the grand old scheme.
Bhagvad Gita tackles the most advanced theories of physics describing the gravity, time travel and multiple dimensions. Bhagvad Gita( Song of God) irrespective of its religious affiliation, shines in front of the most intellectuals in the world , and must be read book, for enthusiasts of string theory and unification theory. The line between a sacred philosophy " Bhagvad Gita" and the most advanced theory of Physics " String theory" is getting blurred and both try to make us understand the true intent and purpose of our lives in this complex universe. Mahatma Gandhi , Buddha along the lines of meaning of Bhagvad Gita ,are in harmony with one of the Albert Einstein's quote
" A human being is part of the whole called by us :universe" , a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us , restricting us to our own personal desires and to affection for few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison. By widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely but the striving for such achievement is, in itself a part of the liberation and foundation for our inner security"
RAMANA ANNAMRAJU
When I was growing up in rural India I used to attend story telling at my village square. They are called Harikatha's , ( story of God) . It is usually a month long story starting from 9pm to midnight, recited by reverend figures.. I attended one of them and the story was epic Mahabharatha. Maabharatha is saga about the Kingdoms ,war between cousins, with fascinating twists and turns and complexity of thousands of characters , supposedly based on true events. One character stands out very much in the epic saga is "Krishna".
Krishna is mischievous ,diplomatic , sexual, sensual and very romantic with extraordinary powers. Krishna's appearance was described in the epic is strikingly handsome , dark looking with bluish undertones with teasing eyes. Though he has his small kingdom , he likes being part time jockey for the one of the finest warriors in Mahabharatha called "Arjuna " When Krishna was small kid he used to steal women's clothes , while they are taking bath in the river , and he made them beg for their clothes ,while being amused. Calling him knotty kid is an understatement. One particular story about him , used to bring me quite a laugh . Krishna has eight wives with sixteen thousand girl friends. Yes indeed, eight wives!! . One of the wives got jealous one day , though he is spending lot of time with her , she wants to check on him. She sends few messengers to see if any other wives are happy with their husband Krishna, whom all they share. Expecting disgruntled wives rage, their husband not spending time with them she is eagerly waiting for the messengers. All the messengers came back and said all the wives are very happy because he is there every night with all of them .The jealous wife got puzzled and confused about her husband how could he spend time with all the wives at the same time while he is with her. It always bought me a smile , wonder what a lucky guy Krishna is, he makes all the eight wives happy at the same time. What a power he got!!!
After long, long, long time of Krishna's era , say after thousand of years , a scientist came along from a different part of the world. .His name is Issac Newton. As we all know, one of his famous discoveries is Gravitational force. He described the gravitational force is the same one that makes the apple fall to the ground and the same force that governs the earth rotating around the sun. . He combined heavens and earth with simple equation describing the gravitational force. He realized the mathematics is the language of science. He invented the calculus along the way. He is unchallenged king of physics for centuries. .Newton's gravitational theory brought unprecedented advances in science and technology.
After almost 250 years passing of Newton, there is patent clerk in Germany had some doubts about Newton's description of gravity. This unknown clerk realized, Newton did not really understand how Gravity works, and he came up with starling discovery and dazzled the world with his theories. His name is Albert Einstein. He described Gravity, as the path taken by the objects ,in the fabric of space-time curvature. Einstein combined our three dimensional world ( Length, width, height) and single dimension of time ,came up with the fabric of space -time.
To illustrate an example of Einstein's theory, Imagine a folded saree ( a long piece of cloth) stretched by four corners at few feet high to the ground.. If you place a heavy bowling ball in the saree , it creates a v shaped deep dent in the middle of the cloth. If you place a marble ( a small round shaped sphere ) near the edge , the marble moves in a circular motion along the curvature and dents created by the heavy object ,in this instance , the bowling ball. Now if you transfer the same concept , that a saree is fabric of space time and the bowling ball is our Sun and the marble is Earth , the Earth moves along the curvature of space-time fabric, created by heavy weight of the sun, and gives the illusion of force of gravity.
According to Einstein's theory, the saree is just not only represents space , but also represents time as strange it sounds.. The events occurred to us are points in the space time fabric. Your baby's birthday celebration or your father's death is a just a point in the space-time continuum created by gravity. As you noticed in space-time continuum, time is a dimension .. The space around us and the events occurred to us are intertwined in a strange way, became a celebrated theory of all times and elevated the status of Einstein to Genius.
To understand the Time dimension , take two points in the saree and these two points represent two distinct time periods and besides the different physical coordinates. If you put sufficient weight in the middle of the saree , then V shape becomes much closer ,and the two points becomes closer and closer as you increase the weight. As the two different points gets closer then you can walk from one time period to other time period with a simple step with out traveling. Time travel is not any more fantasy and matter of when we create that kind of machine. In fact space- time tunneling is much more real in the sub atomic world than any other place. The particles that made up of our bodies travel through space time with ease. . It means they go to different places and different time periods like child's play. Unfortunately this phenomenon is not big enough to be noticed by our physical senses. The laws of physics at the sub atomic level not only requires but demands a distinct possibility that we travel through space-time , however infinitely small the possibility is.
Coming back to our hero Krishna, he seems to master the gravity ,bend the space time curvature , appeared and disappeared, any time, any place at his will. Task of keeping all the wives happy , of course is a trivial matter for this master .But in no doubt either He created those laws or mastered those laws of physics , exerting enormous energy to bend space -time to move around the distances and times at his free will in a instant for his wife's amazement. .Einstein must have seen the glimpse of this master's magic. Einstein not only believed in that supreme being , but also believed different forces of nature are derived from one and only the universal force . He went for hunting for that universal force through mathematics and physics , that he called "unified filed theory" .Unite all the natural forces in to one. But there is ghost coming from subatomic world is haunting Einstein's universe. Einstein's vision of universe is orderly ,methodical and structured. But the facts and experiments coming from sub atomic universe( quantum mechanics) are nothing but chaotic ,chances and luck of draw . Einstein's beautiful, structured macro universe is in direct contradiction with the crazy, unpredictable micro Universe. Einstein had intense aversion to the casino description of the universe and made famous quote " God does not play dice with the universe" . But the facts coming from micro universe are indisputable.
Since Macro universe is evolved from micro universe we can not have two different sets of laws of nature. But we are confronted with two sets of laws , one for micro universe and the other for Macro universe, and both seems to be superficially valid. Scientists could not explain both universes under one set of laws. This open dark secret swept under the rug ,by scientists from both sides and kept working on their own theories. Genius of Macro universe, Einstein kept working on his grandiose idea of unification of all the natural forces in to one ( unified field theory) and unlock the mystery of the universe to see foot prints of the master creator . He was working unsuccessfully on unification theory until he died in his sleep. The theory went in to hibernation with out old grand master and from the loud noises and protests of yuppies of micro universe ( quantum world) . .Decades passed by as the brotherhood of scientific world from micro and Macro worlds acted like they don't know each other.
But nature won't sit down quite with conflicting laws. .The nature reveals it self the truth sometimes through beautiful mathematical equations. Mathematics is language of science but some times seems to be the language of God. Mathematics did not like the conflict between the laws of Macro universe and laws of micro universe. To accommodate the macro and micro universes a new bizarre and strange theory called "String theory" was born through mathematical complexities. String theory explained, the micro and Macro universes with beauty and elegance. String theory as in the name says, the basic units of the matter are not atoms, not protons not neutrons and not even quarks , really it is 100th billion billion times smaller than quark . It is a "string" looks like rubber band. It is not physical matter but it is strand of energy like a rubber band. The vibrations and symphonies of this strings with permutations and combinations , may make an appearance as matter like protons ,neutrons etc.. As many variations as it can be produced by the notes from the violin , the strings can produce that many variations in the nature and appear as different elements. So our bodies are made up of billions and billions of vibrating energy strings as theory puts it, now after all, energy channeling does not sound like as quack idea as it seems. But there is something more these strings do.. They vibrate in more than three dimensions that you and me experience in everyday life. .They vibrate in another dimension , like Time dimension from Einstein's famous theory but also vibrate in 10 other physical dimensions ... We can not visualize those additional dimensions with our naked eye, at the best we struggle to comprehend it through mathematics.

ABDIKAM- By Ramana Annamraju
“ For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.”
Robert Jastrow -Former Director of NASA
Onset, an Hindu religious tradition called “Abdikam” and an experiment at Large Hadron Super Collider seems to have nothing in common.
Last week I performed a pooja ( Prayers and rituals) called Abdikam for my late father at Hindu temple of Atlanta. An “Abdikam” is annual ritual and tradition in Hindu religion I have been performing this pooja for last 12 years , once a year the day my father left this earth.
My parents were married when they were 18 and 16. I have four brothers and two sisters We were all born in a small village in a two bed room shack with out electricity , with out running water with out a doctor . My father was a high school teacher for a small town making around $8 per month. Eight people on eight dollars. It was a struggle but it is still dignified living in a small village for those times.,
My father’s quest for education and his passion for , saving lives ,took a remarkable turn.
He took half our income from a teacher’s meager salary, amid protests from my mother and started buying medical journals and medical books. Alas! I can not imagine my poor mother’s struggle feeding 8 people with already struggling situation.
After 15 years of his self taught education in medical journals and books became part time physician for village people, who never seen a doctor in their lives.
During his life time he saved countless lives and inspired and taught so many students, who eventually became doctors from that village. Because of his direct effect ,several hundred became physicians out of that surrounding villages, serving the communities around the world including United States and Europe. .
My brothers and sisters did not become Bill Gates or Martha Stewart , but got great education and took us remarkable journey from rural parts of India to the entire world. Both my father and mother passed away now, but my father died all of sudden in an accident .I have not seen my father for years as I was getting settled in this country,. I could not able to see his body and was cremated quickly according to our customs.
I could not able to say good bye .Alas I wanted to say one last good bye at least, to his great soul but could not make it.
Every year I go to a Hindu temple in Atlanta on my father’s Anniversary day and do a special religious ceremony. It is more of religious tradition than anything for most people who do this ceremony. It takes place usually on temple grounds.
The priests starts chanting hymns in Sanskrit ( which I have zero understanding- 99% Hindus do not speak or understand this language. Unfortunately most of the priests also do not understand the meaning except chanting. It is only limited to very few Priests and religious scholars. The tradition includes , a mechanical routine , you are standing up and sitting down and pouring water with some seeds along with food on a plate while priest chanting some hymns . Most of the priests also have no clue, what these all mean. Most of the priests chant some thing and they make three rings with some back yard plant strings , water , some food and color.
It is absolutely seems to be kind of boring and silly except remembering my father on that day.
I almost continued this saga with out great interest for almost 12 years. Every time I ask a preacher what this all mean , they mumble some thing and reiterate this is tradition and you do it. At least it made rest of my of family happy! That it self is ok with me to participate and continue that tradition .
But it is all changed few years ago about my view on this tradition. My original priest was sick on that day and they assigned me this new priest. Some thing about him I feel different. He chanted hymns with confidence and elegance. He explained the traditions and meaning of this Sanskrit hymns and procedures with amazing details.
He says those small rings are hidden extra. dimensions . he is invoking with hymns my father’s soul to come and sit in that ring from hidden dimensions along with other Gods. So priest invites with sanskrit chantings, soul of my father from higher dimension to share seat on a special pedestal and offer food and water through me. In my father’s spiritual time zone Every day for my father’s soul is one year for us. So in my father’s zone our one year is one day for him. . I am giving him food and water everyday in my father’s spiritual time zone... This Tradition in Hindu religion is called “ABDIKAM”
It looks like as some of those concepts coming from the pages of the book “ Warped Passages: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Universe's Hidden Dimensions” authored By Lisa Randall.. .
Lisa Randall is no ordinary woman. She is a leading theoretical physicist from Harvard University.
Dr.Lisa Randall along with Ramana sundaram a research Fellow at Harvard , introduced the revolutionary concept
called “parallel universes”. This concept is based on physical assumption that here, next to us exists higher dimensions beyond length, width and height which is three dimensional world where we perceived to live In. These higher dimensions are first perceived by later day Indian mathematician Srnivasa Ramanujam through mathematical functions.
Lisa Randall firmly believes that there exists next to us a mysterious higher dimensions. It is natural curiosity for us to wonder who and what lives there. But in any case it is thrilling to see advanced science validating an age old tradition of Abdikam in a strange way.
Now this silly theoretical conclusion is one of the top experiments that will be conducted at 10 Billion dollar Large Hadron super Collider in Switzerland .
But my search for truth continues in finding that higher dimension and say one more last good bye to my beloved father and say how remarkable man he was. It may be physics, or philosophy or both, may lead me achieve that goal!! My silly desire does not look as stupid as some people think, and the advances in science gave me all of sudden so much respect for the tradition of Abdikam and those priests.
“ For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream.

He chanted hymns with confidence and elegance. He explained the traditions and meaning of this Sanskrit hymns and procedures with amazing details.
He says those small rings are hidden extra. dimensions . he is invoking with hymns my father’s soul to come and sit in that ring from hidden dimensions along with other Gods. So priest invites with sanskrit chantings, soul of my father from higher dimension to share seat on a special pedestal and offer food and water through me. In my father’s spiritual time zone Every day for my father’s soul is one year for us. So in my father’s zone our one year is one day for him. . I am giving him food and water everyday in my father’s spiritual time zone... This Tradition in Hindu religion is called “ABDIKAM”
It looks like as some of those concepts coming from the pages of the book “ Warped Passages: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Universe's Hidden Dimensions” authored By Lisa Randall.. .
Lisa Randall is no ordinary woman. She is a leading theoretical physicist from Harvard University.
Dr.Lisa Randall along with Ramana sundaram a research Fellow at Harvard , introduced the revolutionary concept
called “parallel universes”. This concept is based on physical assumption that here, next to us exists higher dimensions beyond length, width and height which is three dimensional world where we perceived to live In. These higher dimensions are first perceived by later day Indian mathematician Srnivasa Ramanujam through mathematical functions.
Lisa Randall firmly believes that there exists next to us a mysterious higher dimensions. It is natural curiosity for us to wonder who and what lives there. But in any case it is thrilling to see advanced science validating an age old tradition of Abdikam in a strange way.
Now this silly theoretical conclusion is one of the top experiments that will be conducted at 10 Billion dollar Large Hadron super Collider in Switzerland .
But my search for truth continues in finding that higher dimension and say one more last good bye to my beloved father and say how remarkable man he was. It may be physics, or philosophy or both, may lead me achieve that goal!! My silly desire does not look as stupid as some people think, and the advances in science gave me all of sudden so much respect for the tradition of Abdikam and those priests.

SOFTWARE FROM GOD
Software from GOD
By Ramana Annamraju
In few decades from now the new kind of computers coming in to the market.
The computations that take 10 years at present on the super fast computers, takes only 10 seconds to solve it, on this new found computers.
The computers have answers before you finish questions. The computers send and retrieve messages with security unheard of. . If some one looks at the message that does not belong to them, it immediately notifies the sender and receiver. Just by simply looking at it, repeat, just looking at it only, sender and receiver will be notified immediately. This impenetrable quality has wide range applications in military, financial institutions and Healthcare...
The best hacker in the world cannot penetrate this security. Banks and financial institutions enjoy this unprecedented security with God’s help. In fact this computer may not compute at all. This is the area where Bill Gates or Intel have no clue..
If you are thinking about computer with artificial Intelligence, you are totally mistaken. World re known Mathematics Professor Roger Penrose from Oxford made an eloquent argument against Artificial intelligence. He argues in his book “ Emperor’s new mind” that Artificial Intelligence has a inherent problem. If a computer tries to emulate human intelligence it shoots it self in the foot, so that it never reaches human intelligence. This conclusion is not based on simple assumptions but based on concrete mathematical theorem called Kurt Godel ‘s Incompleteness Theorem.
If you are a Software Engineer or in the job of doing cost estimation for software development, you have reason to know about Kurt Godel and his incompleteness theorem.
Austrian Born Kurt Godel was a eccentric genius and one of the great logician’s of the century if not the greatest. His contributions to mathematics and physics are profound. He spent his last years as a professor at Princeton University during the times of Albert Einstein. His friendship with Albert Einstein’s is legendary .His long walks with Einstein on University of Princeton campus grounds were curious to several students of Mathematics and physics, wondering what these two geniuses were talking about.
These two geniuses admired each other and collided on occasion. Albert Einstein was unchallenged scientist during those days, self doubted his own “Special Theory of Relativity” because of Kurt Godel.
In mathematics tour de force, Godel showed that there would always be, theorems in arithmetic whose correctness or incorrectness can never be demonstrated from the axioms of arithmetic. That is arithmetic is always
in- complete. Mathematics is once thought to be purest of all sciences, tarnished by Kurt Godel. Kurt Godel’s incompleteness theorem made irreversible damage to Mathematics, that it has no firm hold on truth of the nature.
Consider the statement “This sentence is false” .If the sentence is true then it follows it is false. If the sentence is false then the sentence is true. Another statement “I am a liar”. Then I am a liar only if I tell the truth. Godel then formulated the statement “this sentence can not be proved true” .If the sentence is correct then it cannot be proved to be correct.
By carefully building such a complex web of paradoxes, Godel showed that there are true statements that cannot be proved using arithmetic. This simple proof destroyed the credibility of thousand-year-old .mathematics rein.
Where ever these nightmarish paradoxes appear Kurt Godel’s devil appears with powers. That’s why scientists some times call him as a spoiler. In computer programs, error detection and Trouble shooting creates such paradoxes.
Turing Halting theorem is well known example of incompleteness in computer science. Consequence of this, determining true estimation costs for the software are impossible.. Next time you can quote Kurt Godel’s theorem for your clients over run costs and time. I cannot guarantee your client satisfaction, but you have some reasonable excuse for the true cost estimation.
Roger Penrose stripped away Artificial Intelligence credibility by efficiently using Kurt Godel’s proof.. He made demeaning poke at the authors of Artificial Intelligence in his book “The Emperor’s new mind” as Emperors with out clothes. Roger Penrose further restricted the computer’s abilities by bringing the subject of consciousness, arguing that is only unique to humans. Oxford mathematics professor, Roger Penrose sealed the fate of Artificial Intelligence once and for all with the help of Kurt Godel’s Incompleteness Theorem.
We concluded Artificial Intelligence is not the solution or the way for the so-called revolutionary computers blessed with “Software From God” which I talked about the beginning of this topic. . These computers are not the extension or advancement of present day computers. They work on strangest principle of nature called “ Quantum Entanglement”. Quantum computing is new emerging and exciting field of Theoretical Physics. The operators of this Quantum computer are not computer professionals but at present they are in the hands of advanced theoretical physicists.
Quantum Mechanics is branch of physics, describes the behavior and the laws that govern the sub atomic particles like atoms, Electrons, neutrons etc. In sub atomic world where the common sense fails and the known laws of classical physics gets violated repeatedly. From this bizarre world, a process called “Quantum Entanglement” appears like almost gift from God to the nature.
“Quantum Entanglement” in general lay terms compared to Twin’s behavior. . One of the twins scratches his head and other part of the twin also scratches his head at same time, even they are thousands of miles apart. If you care to watch them or try to observe them the process may not happen. The similar effect takes place in the sub atomic world between the two entangled photons, which are particles of light. There is no definitive proof this happens among the twins or not in the real world, but there is undeniable and conclusive experimental proof, that this process takes place between the two entangled Photons. These two entangled photons behave like twins, is nature’s deepest mystery and some of us may call it as God’s special gift to Nature.
In digital computers the bits are EITHER 0 or 1,.In quantum computer the bits contain BOTH values 0 and 1 at the same time, until being observed . Once it is observed through a detection system it assumes value of either 1 or 0 with out preference. This odd behavior has profound influence in the development of quantum computers. The bits that hold both 0 and 1 same time in the quantum computer are called “qubits”.With “qubits” on our hand we can build complex computers, extend the entanglement process to even messages and databases . Questions and answers can exist in transient stage. If the questions and answers are entangled in some way , the answers can appear before finishing the question or vice versa .
The computational time will cut down dramatically with Quantum computers.
Messages can be sent with utmost secrecy with out some one watching or reading the message. First time a entangled message was sent successfully to a bank in Sweden from one mile away by using quantum computers.
With out getting into complex scientific terms I will explain the process with the help of fictional characters and sci-fi background.
Alice is in love with Bob. Bob’s new job took him a newly built Inter-Planetary station on the planet of Mars. The message from Alice who lives on earth takes six minutes to reach Bob. Alice wants to send secret love message to Bob, through TWO entangled photons. According to quantum mechanics both entangled photons have the both colors Blue and Red at the same time until being observed.
.
The same love message is embedded is both photons .
Each Photon carries both RED and BLUE colors until they are observed.. Both Photons exist in both dual states until they are observed . Once the observation is done by one party , the photon assumes one of the colors randomly to the first observer and the other photon assumes the other color. In this particular case Bob observes the photon after 6 minutes (takes 6 minutes from earth to reach Bob in Mars) , the photon selects randomly one of the colors say RED and instantly the photon that is with Alice turns in to BLUE with out any time lapse. This action at a distance was called “Spooky at a distance” by Albert Einstein. Bob ex girl friend Eve wants to interrupt the message sent by Alice . But Alice holds secret photon. If the secret photon held by Alice assumes one of the colors before 6 minutes , Eve observed the other photon before leaving the earth. So Eve can not interrupt/watch the message with out getting noticed.
The message is so secure , even small glimpse at the message by Eve will disturb the delicate quantum state. This area of quantum physics is called quantum cryptography.
As we speak this computers are being built at IBM research laboratories , and other advanced Physics research labs, like Fermi Labs, CERN labs.
Georgia Tech Institute, Department of Physics created first successful quantum network.Some of the technical process involved in quantum computers is highly classified by the governments.
In a decade or so from now, a new breed computers will be starting to arrive.
The quantum computers will revolutionize the way we think, we work , we live.
We are going to enter God’s mystery land.

Spirtual Journey of an unknown man
Spiritual Journey of an unknown man
Ramana Annamraju
He was born in to a poor family in small town called Madanpalle in Andhra Pradesh.He commanded millions of disciples around the world , engaged in conversations with world famous scientists, mingled with Presidents, Kings and queens, amassed millions of dollars and at the end he died in Ojai, California, which looks similar to his birth town, alone with out fan fare.
Even Telugu people hardly know his name, his name is Jiddu Krishnamurthy usually referred as JK.
Jiddu Krishnamurthy was born in Madanpalle, a picturesque place with mountains and green pastures situated 100 miles from the town of Tirupathi in May 1895. JK ‘s life took a remarkable journey from this mountainous town to several places in India and across the world.
After an unexpected death of his mother, JK’s family moved to a religious communion called Theosophical Society of Adayar located in center of Chennai . Theosophical society of Adayar was founded by a Russian born psychic , global wanderer Helena Petrovna Blavatsky ( 1831-1891)
The first Object of the Theosophical Society is "To form the nucleus of a Universal Brotherhood of Humanity without distinction of race, colour, or creed. The founder of this society Helena Petrovna Blavatsky used to be called as Madame Blavatsky , however controversial she was , she raised above human pettiness and believed there is no superior race , and trying to advocate the post modern President Barrack Obama ‘s message of perfect union among the races.
She also believed that there is human consciousness , which may not be following the rules of science.
She advocated strikingly modern day scientific concepts about the time and consciousness. . Here is small excerpt from her book “Secret Doctrine”
Time is only an illusion produced by the succession of our states of consciousness as we travel through eternal duration, and it does not exist where no consciousness exists in which the illusion can be produced; but “lies asleep.” The present is only a mathematical line which divides that part of eternal duration which we call the future, from that part which we call the past. Nothing on earth has real duration, for nothing remains without change — or the same — for the billionth part of a second; and the sensation we have of the actuality of the division of “time” known as the present, comes from the blurring of that momentary glimpse, or succession of glimpses, of things that our senses give us, as those things pass from the region of ideals which we call the future, to the region of memories that we name the past.
After Helena’s death in England , her prodigy a famous a Irish social reformer, prolific writer, activist Anne wood Besant became head of Theosophical society of Adayar. Ane besant discovered Jiddu Krishnamnurthy, took him under her angelic wings.. Anne Besant joined the Indian national Independence movement and briefly became President of Indian National Congress. She bought 6 acres of land in the middle of Chennai and donated to Jiddu Krishnamurthy , now where Krishnamurthy foundation stands. She died at the age of 85 in 1935 at the Theosophical society of Adayar.
During the Ane Besant years Theosophical society grew and spread across ,opened up several offices around the world including Atlanta .( http://www.theosophicalatlanta.webs.com) They gathered huge number of disciples and acquired substantial real estate. Theosophical society is one of the biggest real estate owners of the world even today. JK was being groomed as a leader of the Theosophical society by the elders.
JK is allergic to the idea of Master-disciple relationship and an organized religion. He hated being master and hated being treated as a figure head of theological organization. . He stood true to his feelings, in a surprise move he severed all the relationship and ties with the Theosophical society in 1929 and started his own independent spiritual journey . JK ‘s aversion to organized religion he used to tell in a antidote
“You may remember the story of how the devil and a friend of his were walking down the street, when they saw ahead of them a man stoop down and pick up something from the ground, look at it, and put it away in his pocket. The friend said to the devil, "What did that man pick up?" "He picked up a piece of Truth," said the devil. "That is a very bad business for you, then," said his friend. "Oh, not at all," the devil replied, "I am going to let him organize it."
In his famous declaration, "Truth is a Pathless land.", Man cannot come to it through any organization, through any creed, through any dogma, priest or ritual, not through any philosophic knowledge or psychological technique. He has to find it through the mirror of relationship, through the understanding of the contents of his own mind, through observation and not through intellectual analysis or introspective dissection. JK declares “ I maintain that no organization can lead man to spirituality”.
He maintained his home Ojai, California a secluded place like Madanpalle back home in Andhra Pradesh.
During his several trips to India he engaged intense discussions with Jawaharlal Nehru, Dalai lama , Indira Gandhi and string of world leaders.
In all those discussions his dialogues with a legendary American scientist David Bohm is notable .
David Bohm is preeminent author of quantum mechanics and colleague of Albert Einstein at Princeton.
David Bohm grappled with a intriguing question “why nature refused to reveal a fundamental truth?” which amply described in so called “Double Slit Experiment “
Further info on Double slit experiment see Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfPeprQ7oGc
This simple experiment created nightmarish roadblock to even renowned scientists .
But David Bohm took an unusual path to answer this puzzle “why nature is refusing to show its true picture?” When Bohm encountered such obstacles, he responded in a way that is unusual for scientists, and especially rare among physicists: Bohm carried his quest beyond not only physics but beyond the bounds of science altogether. In his quest to find the truth ,he looked into Eastern Philosophy leaving the traditional scientific methods and made connection with Jiddu Krishnamurthy in 1960. Both carried on an intensive dialogue over several years that entailed deep explorations of the ultimate meaning and nature of thought, insight, existence, death, truth, reality, intelligence, and so on.
David Bohm realized through JK that there exists a “truth” beyond reality. We are only conditioned to see a reality not the truth because of our limitations in the thought process and the language it self .
This renowned physicist David Bohm introduced the concept of consciousness and concept of Maya to the scientific world through Jiddu Krishnamurthy. They co authored several books which are available through Amazon.
At age 90, Jiddu Krishnamurthy addressed the United Nations on the subject of peace and awareness, and was awarded the U.N. Peace Medal. In his last trip to India , he mentioned his journey is coming to an end and his body is giving up. I am fortunate enough to attend one of his last lectures at Concordia University ,Montreal in 1985. Jiddu krishnamurthy died on Febuary 17th 1986 at his spiritual home Ojai, California.
An orphan man from an unknown place in Andhra Pradesh took the world on remarkable spiritual journey.
Not having formal education for himself , he founded several schools around the world and blessed so many children with education mixed with spirituality. Let us all pay tribute to this spiritual master and keep in our thoughts during the week of his death.

ABDIKAM By Ramana Annamraju
" For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of
reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains
of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls
himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians

Onset, an Hindu religious tradition called "Abdikam" and an
experiment at Large Hadron Super Collider seems to have nothing in
common.
Last week I performed a pooja ( Prayers and rituals) called Abdikam
for my late father at Hindu temple of Atlanta. An "Abdikam" is
annual ritual and tradition in Hindu religion I have been performing
this pooja for last 12 years , once a year the day my father left
this earth.
My parents were married when they were 18 and 16. I have four
brothers and two sisters We were all born in a small village in a
two bed room shack with out electricity , with out running water with
out a doctor . My father was a high school teacher for a small town
making around $8 per month. Eight people on eight dollars. It was a
struggle but it is still dignified living in a small village for
those times.,
My father's quest for education and his passion for , saving
lives ,took a remarkable turn.
He took half our income from a teacher's meager salary, amid
protests from my mother and started buying medical journals and
medical books. Alas! I can not imagine my poor mother's struggle
feeding 8 people with already struggling situation.
After 15 years of his self taught education in medical journals and
books became part time physician for village people, who never seen
a doctor in their lives.
During his life time he saved countless lives and inspired and
taught so many students, who eventually became doctors from that
village. Because of his direct effect ,several hundred became
physicians out of that surrounding villages, serving the communities
around the world including United States and Europe. .
My brothers and sisters did not become Bill Gates or Martha
Stewart , but got great education and took us remarkable journey
from rural parts of India to the entire world. Both my father and
mother passed away now, but my father died all of sudden in an
accident .I have not seen my father for years as I was getting
settled in this country,. I could not able to see his body and was
cremated quickly according to our customs.
I could not able to say good bye .Alas I wanted to say one last
good bye at least, to his great soul but could not make it.
Every year I go to a Hindu temple in Atlanta on my father's
Anniversary day and do a special religious ceremony. It is more of
religious tradition than anything for most people who do this
ceremony. It takes place usually on temple grounds.
The priests starts chanting hymns in Sanskrit ( which I have zero
understanding- 99% Hindus do not speak or understand this language.
Unfortunately most of the priests also do not understand the meaning
except chanting. It is only limited to very few Priests and
religious scholars. The tradition includes , a mechanical routine ,
you are standing up and sitting down and pouring water with some
seeds along with food on a plate while priest chanting some hymns .
Most of the priests also have no clue, what these all mean. Most of
the priests chant some thing and they make three rings with some back
yard plant strings , water , some food and color.
It is absolutely seems to be kind of boring and silly except
remembering my father on that day.
I almost continued this saga with out great interest for almost 12
years. Every time I ask a preacher what this all mean , they mumble
some thing and reiterate this is tradition and you do it. At least it
made rest of my of family happy! That it self is ok with me to
participate and continue that tradition .
But it is all changed few years ago about my view on this
tradition. My original priest was sick on that day and they assigned
me this new priest. Some thing about him I feel different. He
chanted hymns with confidence and elegance. He explained the
traditions and meaning of this Sanskrit hymns and procedures with
amazing details.
He says those small rings are hidden extra. dimensions . he is
invoking with hymns my father's soul to come and sit in that ring
from hidden dimensions along with other Gods. So priest invites with
sanskrit chantings, soul of my father from higher dimension to
share seat on a special pedestal and offer food and water through
me. In my father's spirtual time zone Every year for my father's soul
is one year for us. So in my father's zone our one year is one day
for him. . I am giving him food and water everyday in my father's
spiritual time zone... This Tradition in Hindu religion is
called "ABDIKAM"
It looks like as some of those concepts coming from the pages of
the book " Warped Passages: Unraveling the Mysteries of the
Universe's Hidden Dimensions" authored By Lisa Randall.. .
Lisa Randall is no ordinary woman. She is a leading theoretical
physicist from Harvard University.
Dr.Lisa Randall along with Ramana sundaram a research Fellow at
Harvard , introduced the revolutionary concept
called "parallel universes". This concept is based on physical
assumption that here, next to us exists higher dimensions beyond
length, width and height which is three dimensional world where we
perceived to live In. These higher dimensions are first perceived
by an later day an Indian mathematician Srnivasa Ramanujam through
mathematical functions.
Lisa Randall firmly believes that there exists next to us a
mysterious higher dimensions. It is natural curiosity for us to
wonder who and what lives there. But in any case it is thrilling to
see advanced science validating an age old tradition of Abdikam in a
strange way.
Now this silly theoretical conclusion is one of the top experiments
that will be conducted at 10 Billion dollar Large Hadron super
Collider in Switzerland .
But my search for truth continues in finding that higher dimension
and say one more last good bye to my beloved father and say how
remarkable man he was. It may be physics, or philosophy or both, may
lead me achieve that goal!! My silly desire does not look as stupid
as some people think, and the advances in science gave me all of
sudden so much respect for the tradition of Abdikam and those
priests.
" For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of
reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains
of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls
himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians
who have been sitting there for centuries."
