Everyone
must have seen in some advertisements or in cartoon films based on Hindu
mythologies that some Yogies possess the power of floating in the air while
mediating. If we look and read about the ways through which it can be done in
scientific way then, this can be explained with the phenomenon of
Superconductivity. This is the possible scientific explanations.
Superconductivity
is a phenomenon in which the electrical resistance of certain materials becomes
exactly zero, below a characteristic temperature, usually well below critical
temperature. For example, some cuprate-perovskite ceramic materials become
superconductors when cooled below critical temperature.
When
the material becomes superconductor, magnetic lines do not pass through them
and they levitate in air. This principle is used in Magnetic Levitated trains
commonly known as Maglev. This phenomenon can easily demonstrated in the lab
using liquid nitrogen and the superconductor material. The same principle applies
to the body the personal practicing this
ritual commonly known as Yogi.
In
Dnyaneshwari, written by Saint Dnyaneshwar, he has described his experience of
what happens when Kundalini Shakti arises in the body. He has mentioned that it
feels like Kundalini power drinks all the blood and eats up all the flesh in
your body and ultimately your body becomes very very cold. After some time, it
again regenerates everything and your body becomes as fresh as a newborn.
It
is quite possible that when the temperature of Yogi’s body decreases
significantly, it reaches to a point where Yogi’s body becomes a superconductor
and hence, the gravitational lines do not pass through his body and he levitate
in the air. Though, there is no proof for this but at the atomic level, the
rules of physics does not apply and nearly everything is possible.
Hence,
it might not be exactly correct to call, Yogi float in air that it is
superstition ritual. The ad makers who mock the Hindus in the ads by making fun
out of the Yogi’s floating in the air or any other Hindu methodology should be
stopped.
Rights
and rituals performed in Hinduism is based on scientific facts and is result of
proper research. It should be subject of modern research not a topic of
superstition.
