20 facts you need to know about India’s growth
HINDUISM AND CARL SAGAN
HINDUISM AND CARL SAGAN
Carl Sagan says in this book the Cosmos:
"The Hindu religion is the only one of the world's
great faiths dedicated to the idea that the Cosmos
itself undergoes an immense, indeed an infinite, number
of deaths and rebirths. It is the only religion in
which the time scales correspond, to those of modern
scientific cosmology. Its cycles run from our ordinary
day and night to a day and night of Brahma, 8.64
billion years long. longer than the age of the Earth or
the Sun and about half the time since the Big Bang. And
there are much longer time scales still.
There is the deep and appealing notion that the
universe is but the dream of the god who, after a
Brahma years, dissolves himself into a dreamless sleep.
The universe dissolves with him -- until, after another
Brahma century, he stirs, recomposes himself and begins
again to dream the great cosmic dream.
The Chola bronzes, cast in the 11th century, include
several different incarnations of the god Shiva.
The most elegant and sublime of these is a
representation of the creation of the universe at the
beginning of each cosmic cycle, a motif known as the
cosmic dance of Lord Shiva. The god, called in this
manifestation Nataraja, the Dance King. In the upper
right hand is a drum whose sound is the sound of
creation. In the upper left hand is a tongue of flame,
a reminder that the universe, now newly created, with
billions of years from now will be utterly destroyed.
The late scientist Carl Sagan, asserts that the dance
of Nataraja signifies the cycle of evolution and
destruction of the cosmic universe (Big Bang Theory).
"It is the clearest image of the activity of God which
any art or religion can boast of."
These profound and lovely images are, I like to
imagine, a kind of premonition of modern astronomical
ideas."

Live Longer-Science Behind it
Science Behind Living Longer -- Research Summary
SIRTUINS are a family of genes that scientists discovered in yeast that can make cells live longer. Their significance? "We believe that keeping these genes functioning properly can forestall aging -- it can slow down aging," Lenny Guarente, a biologist at Massachusetts Institute of Technolgoy in Boston, Mass., told Ivanhoe. "The trick will be figuring out exactly how to do that." Sirtuins -- which turn out to be present in all living organisms -- can detect energy reserves in a cell and are activated when those reserves are low, such as when someone eats a calorie-restricted diet. Scientists argue that drugs to activate sirtuins could offer the same lifespan extending benefits as a calorie-restricted diet.RESVERATROL found in grapes, red wine, peanuts and some berries has been shown to activate sirtuins is resveratrol.. A drug formulation of resveratrol is in clinical trials as a treatment for type 2 diabetes and cancers. While it has shown promise in animals, long-term studies have not yet been conducted in humans using resveratrol, and some experts caution that dosages of the supplement vary widely. One can get the same benefit -- which are antioxidant properties and heart protective properties -- by consuming berries and the dark red grapes.LESS CALORIES, LONGER LIFE? Decades of animal studies have shown that semi-starvation can extend lifespan by up to 50 percent by reducing the incidence of diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Scientists suggest that in order to add to longevity, a calorie-restricted diet should be defined as one with 25 to 30 percent fewer calories but still containing essential nutrients
