Can Prayer Bend the Time?

Santhanam Nagarajan

Prayer is powerful. It brings peace, solutions to the problems and what not?
Miracles do happen by praying!

Take for instance a small incident. A beautiful girl was to return home in the late night after attending a party. She has to go a long way. When she arrives at the bus stand at a stranded place she was bewildered by the silence of the night and the darkness that surrounds the area.

While she is waiting for the bus four or five rowdies are coming towards her. On seeing them the girls starts praying. If some powerful force does not come for help, she will definitely be disturbed to unimaginable heights.

At that exact moment a bus comes and stops at the bus stand. The conductor says that there is only one seat and the bus go to the exact place where the girl wants to go.

The prayer is answered says her parents on hearing her story. She also feels the same way. God has granted her prayer.

But the septics will say that there is no effect because of the prayer and the incident may be called as a mere coincidence.

But Scientists now are coming to the conclusion that the effect of prayer can be seen by many authentic researches.

Leonard Leibocici has published an intriguing study in 2001. It addressed the hypothesis that retroactive prayer for a group of septic patients could affect clinical outcomes, when the prayer was offered four to ten years after the development of the clinical problems.

It was found that the patients were cured unbelievably. The prayer can bend the time and may bring positive results.

In all the religions the importance of prayer is being emaphasised. In Mahabharata, the great Indian Epic, Kunti devi wants many troubles on her way so that she could always remember and Pray to Lord Krishna.

Krishna declares, “ I am the Time”.

When Richard Feynman, the famous Nobel physicist was asked, “What is time?” he replied, “What is time? We physicists work with it every day, but don’t ask me what it is. It is just too difficult to think about.”
True, Nobody could define time.

The famous physicist Paul Davies once said, “ Notions such as ‘the past’, ‘the present’ and ‘the future’ seem to be more linguistic than physical”.

The general idea is that the past influences the present. But modern physics has shown that the time is linked with space. So if by due prayer it may be possible to bend the time. The past may be altered, modified, changed to suit the present situation for one who prays!

The Hindu Puranas reveals the mystery of time through various stories. And we come to know very many instances from the history. The great saint Thirugnana Sambandar has brought back Poombavai from her bones. Another great saint Sundarar brought back a boy who was taken away by a crocodile a few years back.

Arthur Eddington correctly said, “ Something unknown is doing what we don’t know what”.

If we say, God is a mystery, in the same way we may add the power of prayer is also a mystery. Let us always pray and get the benefits.

My Comments: —

After reading Ashtadyayi in Tamil in three parts by Dr K Meenakshi , published by International Institute of Tamil Studies, Madras and Yonas and Yavanas by Finnish oriental Society , Helsinki and 30,000 lines of Sangam Tamil literature twice plus Tolkappiam , I conclude that PANINI lived in seventh or  8th century BCE. The reason being many scholars have interpreted Yavanas as Greeks who followed Alexander. But the Yavanas in Tamil literature are Romans and the Yavanas in Sanskrit literature including Mahabharata and Ramayana, first meant people who lived in North West India, not Greeks.

Each one of the above foreign authors took some bits that suited them. People who argue on numismatic (coins) evidence forget 90 percent of other materials in Panini’s works. This shows their ignorance of Tamil and Sanskrit literature. Four coins names mentioned by Panini are not even known to Chanakya/Kautilya of Mauryan times.

Two important things must be remembered.

1.From Afghanistan to the southernmost part of Sri Lanka , we see Brahmi script even before Asoka. This covered a vast area and formed the largest ancient country in the world. How come people read Asoka’s edicts from one end to the other end? Hindus were literate at least by 4th century BCE from Afghanistan to Kandy in Sri Lanka.

Second thing , Panini talks about Chandasi grammar (Vedic Sanskrit) in every other Sutra or so. Why? How come no book of the Ten Pre- Paninian scholars is available today? ‘There is no grammar without literature’ — is a famous saying. Where is the Pre- Paninian literature? Panini couldn’t have written a grammar without literature.

People who argue on coinage (numismatics) never answered these questions and could never answer these questions because we have lost a lot of our literature.. We have written script in Indus- Sarasvati civilisation and all agree that it is Hindu civilisation. So Indians knew script and writing around 2500 BCE

Egyptians knew writing 5000 years ago

Babylonians knew writing 5000 years ago

Chinese  knew writing 5000 years ago

Moses wrote Ten Commandments and knew writing 4000 years ago.

Mycenaeans of  Greece knew writing 4000 years ago.

But Hindus did not know anything is the view of many foreigners.
