Paranormal

Yesterday night, I had gone out with family with one of our family friend's birthday treat. Yesterday was different because of the extremely interesting discussion that happened amongst us. We talked about the possibilities of the Higg's Boson being the God particle, the mysteries of space, the power of God, the epic magnificence of the Mahabharata and also something about the Lost Symbol, the Seven Ancient Wonders and medical knowledge. Hardly a party table discussion matter, but nonetheless very interesting.
I don't exactly remember the spark for this discussion but it began with my Dad criticizing the Hadron Collider which has been built by the CERN to prove the existence of the Higg's Boson. He was quoting one of the eminent neurosurgeons of Mumbai who writes for the Speaking Tree in Times of India that mankind's incessant and unnecessary search will never be over. They will find the Higg's Boson, then what? Another scientist will question the origins of Higg's Boson and a new hunt will start but to what end? Instead if the billions of Euros being spent on this experiment were used to address the poverty and hunger and war raging in almost every continent wouldn't it be much better? I liked one of the statements of this neurosurgeon, he said when you perform an experiment you become a part of that experiment. You can only see what the experiment shows. We live in such a microscopic cocoon. There are millions of galaxies and millions of stars with innumerable planets, yet we consider ourselves the masters of the universe. Why can't we accept the being of a Higher Power?
We then talked about the relationship of the Gayatri Mantra to the universe. How Vishwamitra discerned that the sound produced by the millions of galaxies moving and spinning away was the primeval sound Om. And how concentrating to the sound Om we can actually connect to God.
An interesting fact was also brought to light that Aryabhatta's calculation of the Moon's distance from the Earth is just some meters in discrepancy with NASA's calculations. It's really hard to imagine. We, with all the advancements are still unable to grasp the knowledge which was harnessed by the ancient without them. From that I spoke about the branch of Noetic Sciences of which Dan Brown mentions in his new novel, the Lost Symbol which exactly focuses on this power of the human mind to harness it's true energy.
Then from somewhere the topic shifted to the Pyramids of Egypt. The pyramids as many of us know are arranged in the exact same alignment as those of the stars of the constellation Orion. and it is also a fact that when the Orion is directly above the Pyramids, the shaft of light from the stars directly illuminates the place where the Pharaoh's head lies. Truly astounding! There is also a reference in the book Chariots of God that the Pyramids were an alien construction as the rocks and the material used to build them was not in the capacity of the Nile Civilization. Of course, the Pyramids have always been a source of mysteries and legends.
We then spoke about Mahabharata. The epic story of Hindu mythology. It is believed that Mahabharata did happen and it possibly can't just be a figment of Ved Vyas' imagination. Even scientists have found traces of radioactive material in the Kurukshetra wastelands. We also talked about the vast intricacies and linked stories of the epic.
I finally concluded as I have, often before while talking about paranormal things, that there is definitely a higher power. We can't just explain everything on scientific principles. The answer to WHY is never there. The WHY is just there. And it's fascinating. There are two lines which I remembered from a ghazal-
सामने है जो उसे लोग बुरा कहते हैं,
जिसको देखा ही नहीं उसे खुदा कहते हैं।
