Concept of Lord Visnu and Siva in Indian Scriptures and REG Studies on Different Types of Lecture Sessions

Abstract

The religious traditions which have evolved in India gives importance not only to the ritualistic outward development of religion but are more focused on the philosophical and cultural concepts which makes one grow spiritually not only religiously. Hinduism, being the oldest amongst all, consists of profound spiritual concepts that are available in the Vedic literature; these philosophical concepts form the foundation for Hinduism. As fathoming the higher spiritual ideals become difficult for a seeker, the great seers of the lore have taken the tool of Symbolism to take down the wisdom base; this symbolism helps seekers to concentrate his (her) mind on the worship and meditation of God whereby facilitating the seeker attains ultimate goal in life.

Symbolism in Hindu dharma is sublime and profound. Contemplating on them with a proper understanding of their significance will help us to be raised to more insightful levels of spiritual experience. God is symbolized through the concept of Trimurti, in which the cosmic functions of creation, maintenance, and withdrawal are personified by the forms of Brahmā, the creator, viśnu, the maintainer or preserver and Śhiva the destroyer or transformer, respectively.

The Hindu tradition gives importance to the art of discoursing (Pravachana/upanyasa) through which the masters pass down these higher concepts which are symbolized in the scriptures.

The aim of the present study is to understand the essential facets of Hinduism, its symbological concept of Trimurti with particular reference to viśnu the sustainer and Śhiva the destroyer or withdrawer. With the help of REG (Random Event Generator), we also study the influence and impact, created upon the audience, by the lectures delivered on these concepts - namely Hinduism, concepts of viśnu and Śhiva, by eminent preachers.

Large number of studies on REG (Random Event Generator) has been published and therefore REG has become a standard instrument for measuring psycho kinesis. None of the studies done earlier have analyzed the slopes associated with REG recordings. In this study we have noticed that two distinct categories have emerged and have become a tool to classify the different lecture sessions. Here, we show that lecture sessions can be evaluated and classified according to their influences on surrounding fields. Five lecture sessions with audiences of 150 to 350 were measured by the positive and negative Z scores of a random event generator (REG). Analysis of the records suggested that lecture sessions fall essentially into two groups. The first three lecture sessions belongs to type 1 category in which REG showed negative Z score more than positive Z score and last two sessions belongs to type 2 categories in which REG showed positive Z score more than negative Z score. In conclusion it looks that left brain domination on first three lecture sessions have influenced the REG negatively while right brain domination on last two lecture sessions have influenced the REG positively.
