Scientific Indians

आध्यात्मिक पागलों का मिशन

भारत के सामने अब एक बड़ा सवाल है – अमेरिका को अब क्या भेजे? कामशास्त्र वे पढ़ चुके, योगी भी देख चुके। संत देख चुके। साधु देख चुके। गाँजा और चरस वहाँ के लड़के पी चुके। भारतीय कोबरा देख लिया। गिर का सिंह देख लिया। जनपथ पर 'प्राचीन' मूर्तियाँ भी ख़रीद लीं। अध्यात्म का आयात भी अमेरिका काफ़ी कर चुका और बदले में गेहूँ भी दे रहा है। हरे कृष्ण, हरे राम भी बहुत हो गया।

Truth About Homeopathy - Decision is Yours

With inspiration from our hero, James Amazing Randi's youtube video on 'World Homeopathy Awareness Week' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WyzM_TsIXc) & Prof. Richard Dawkin's article on homeopathy (http://richarddawkins.net/articles/5139-the-trouble-with-homeopathy) , We tried to do our bit in examining/exposing homeopathy.
We tried to get in touch with Indian chapter of worldhomeopathy.org who was sponsoring this awareness week. So we send an email to their regional chapter contacts on given email id at their contact page (http://www.worldhomeopathy.org/contact.html) as follows -

The incompetence of the WHO

Why people working at World Health Organization are so incompetent? May be reason lies somewhere in-between selection process of its so called 'experts' & financial mismanagement. WHO or other UN bodies not work their own but by leeching money from tax payers of different countries, without their knowledge and having no check and balances over their expenses.

Most people who work for WHO or other UN body do so on contract basis and only those join this organization who are incompetent to work honestly in their own countries science bodies or people who are having 'god fathers' in their respective government to send them on almost "paid holiday" called UN. Lets take latest example of WHO incompetence in swine flue fisco.

India's Past, Present and Future in the hands of Astrology

PAST -
In India, we have started going downhill ever since our rulers started running after astrologers. ever since the advent of astrology almost simultaneously with the invasion of Alexander the Great, and then the "Yavana Jatakam" of Sphujidwaja and the Surya Sidhanta of Maya the Yavana,  we had to fight outsiders!  The more the foreigners invaded us the more our rulers, instead of making a united effort against the invaders, started consulting soothsayers whom they called Rajajyotishis! (Royal Astrologer).

A Cult named Global Warming Alarmist

In past 3-4 months, we are hearing a lot about global Warming proponent behaving like religion/cult. If so, its most successful cult of our time which affected most of human population without everyone joining this cult. Its ideology forced upon every human on planet without their consent. Million of people dying with hunger while these Global Warming Alarmist dying to shove organic food while fact remains that organic foods cant satisfy hunger of more than 8 billion people. So indirectly these people are tying to keep a large population hungry and try to reduce human population on this planet which is already over crowded and its good for our planet to have less human(pun intended!).

Mahabharata - A Mathematical Analysis

I recently came across few articles as well as heated discussions with a history teacher who happens to be very religious person.

He told me that Mahābhārata is a history book and Bhagavad Gita is a divine book. All things mentioned in Mahābhārata happened in reality so God (Krishna) existed in real and Lord Krishna narrated Hindu's divine book called Bhagavad Gita at war time.

Indian Democracy (Satire)

Once upon a time, all people of a country thought that they had reached a level of civilization where they needed a self rule.

And then, they decided to implement democracy in that country. Immediately a committee was formed and within 3 years, they had adopted a constitution with rules such as all people can form a govt. for the people, by the people by doing elections. Further, those elected people can create laws and rule the country for the benefit of all people.

Terrorists Everywhere!

These days, talking about terrorism and terrorists is our favorite pastime for drawing room debaters. Lets examine who is terrorist and what is terrorism.
Its just another kind of ISM in the same way as most religion/social and political ISMs.

Killing of Infants by Government?

Now here Government of India trying to play with life of infants and helpless mothers using tax payer's money. There is no proof till date that homeopathic medicine works. Its simply placebo medicine and having no real substance. These in-competent people who are making policies never entered inside any laboratory. Indians use to drink cow piss for centuries so now govt. may start administering poor people with cow piss but these SAME people who are making policies for poor always rush to AIIMS for their small ailments. Do they really care about poor? Its simply modern day slaughter of poor people in the name of homeopathy.

The trouble with Homeopathy - by Richard Dawkins

Let me just add a few words about why I am personally convinced that homeopathy doesn't work.

The best way to test any proposed therapy is the Double-Blind placebo-Controlled Randomised Trial (DBCRT). Indeed, I think it is the only way that is completely foolproof. Unfortunately it is sometimes hard or impossible to do it in practice. For example, in the case of acupuncture it is difficult to imagine how patients can be shielded from knowing whether they are in the experimental or control group (how would you set about administering a dummy, or placebo needle-prick).

Medical Cults of World - Part 2 (Ayurveda)

for part -1 of this series, please visit at Medical Cults of World - Part 1 (Homeopathy)

Proponents state that ayurvedic medicine originated in ancient time, but much of it was lost until reconstituted in the early 1980s by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Its origin is traced to four Sanskrit books called the Vedas-the oldest and most important scriptures of India, shaped sometime before 200 B.C.E. These books attributed most disease and bad luck to demons, devils, and the influence of stars and planets. Ayurveda's basic theory states that the body's functions are regulated by three "irreducible physiological principles" called doshas, whose Sanskrit names are vata, pitta, and kapha. Like astrologic "signs," these terms are used to designate body types as well as the traits that typify them.

Medical Cults of World - Part 3 (Naturopathy)

for part -2 of this series, please visit at Medical Cults of World - Part 2 (Ayurveda)

Naturopathy, like homeopathy, is a world-wide medical cult which had its origin in Europe. Unlike homeopathy, however, it has no single founder. It simply grew. In essence, it is a complete reliance on "nature" for healing. Medicine and surgery are used as little as possible or not at all. As might be expected, hundreds of strange methods of therapy clustered about the movement, so it is not easy to say exactly what the tenets of naturopathy are.

Medical Cults of World - Part 1 (Homeopathy)

IN NO OTHER field have pseudo-scientists flourished as prominently as in the field of medicine. It is not hard to understand why. In the first place, a medical quack—if he presents an impressive facade—can usually make a great deal of money. In the second place, if he is sincere, or partly sincere, the healing successes he is almost sure to achieve will greatly bolster his delusions. In some cases, of course, the doctor is an out-and-out charlatan.
