A Simple and an Effective way, by Kuldip Singh (Cincinnati, OH)
Founder of Sikh faith, 'App Narayan Kaladhar Kalyug mein parhare', showed
this world a simple and effective way of uplifting life just by
following disciplines and 'Naam Simran'. Essence of life remains in
simran instead of searching GOD thru other difficult means. By reciting
BANI everyday one could open heart, steady mind, and connect to infinite
conscience. GURBANI provides inner balance, grace, radiance and energy
stopping all evil thought forms entering in mind. Some of the Morale
from Guru Nanak Sahibs teachings:
One who looks on all people as equal, is religious.
None is Stranger, no one is enemy.
We reap as we sow.
Truth is higher than all but still higher is truthful living.
Truth is the remedy for all ills.
Nanak seeks the blessing of the truthful. He who conquers his mind,
may conquer the world
A study at Duke University will be the first in the country to attempt to examine and quantify the value of mind-body-spirit interventions for the treatment of chronic heart failure. Use of prayer to heal? Is it possible? Data and Research only help in establishing controlled studies and scientific proof. Read more on use of prayer and how it may contribute to a better outcome in cardiac patients.
The DUMC, along with the DCRI, is involved in the Mantra study. On July 18, the Medtronic Foundation announced a million-dollar Health Leadership Grant to DUMC. This grant will support the expansion of a program that provides access to traditional, mind-body-spirit, and complementary approaches to medicine for patients with chronic heart failure. The program will be the first in the country to attempt to examine and quantify the value of mind-body-spirit interventions for the treatment of chronic heart failure.
Scientists are generally reluctant to combine experimental work with
philosophy and usually reject consideration of possible theological
implications of their studies. However, a few studies in this field have begun
to appear. Saver & Rabin (2) found that clues to
the neural substrates of religious experience, near-death experiences and the
intake of hallucinogens may be deduced from limbic epilepsy (the limbic system
is described as the emotional system of the brain). Ramachandran (3) reported that patients
with temporal seizures (the temporal lobe is involved with many complex
functions including emotion and memory) sometimes experience God and religious
ecstasy during seizures and are intensely religious. Assal & Bindschaedier
(4) reported a case of
religious delusion in a 39-year-old woman who had suffered a head injury with
right temporal concussion 13 years before.
