I am Ved Prakash Gupta, a retired Scientist from RRCAT (Department of Atomic Energy), Indore. I have practiced original meditation (Yog) which Rishis in ancient India practiced, for the past 25 years. I have also developed a science behind Yog. I have achieved extraordinary results, which I will share at a press conference at Gandhi Hall, Indore, on June 20, 2023, on the eve of International Yog Day. I invite you to attend the press conference and witness an unbelievable feat of Yog. Below is a summary of my groundbreaking discovery.
The ancient Rishis of India developed Yog, and Rishi Patanjali compiled its practice in a text called the Patanjali Yog Sutra. The Rishis used to take Samadhi in a sealed underground pit and spend days practicing Yog without oxygen. After 25 years of rigorous Yog practice, I have also attained Samadhi. After the press conference, I will demonstrate Samadhi through a scientific experiment. I am mimicking an underground pit with a nitrogen chamber that contains no oxygen. An oxygen meter is attached to the chamber and shows zero oxygen. To be doubly sure there is no oxygen in the chamber, I will burn a candle in the gas coming out of the chamber, but the candle will not burn. I will spend 30 minutes in the chamber comfortably. I will wear a pulse oximeter on my finger. The pulse oximeter will show that my blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate remain within the normal range after 45 minutes in an oxygen-free chamber. This will establish that during Samadhi, my body functions normally without oxygen. Many senior scientists, engineers, and doctors will also attend this event to verify my claims.
Modern science cannot explain this phenomenon because, according to science, life is not possible without oxygen, and any explanation would contradict science. I have developed a new science by fusing Yog and science, which I call Yog Science, a convergence of science and spirituality. Yog Science explains this phenomenon. According to Yog Science, during Samadhi, when the mind is fully focused, normal breathing is suspended, and a new type of breathing takes place, which is called Yogic breathing. In yogic breathing, there is no inhalation; only exhalation occurs, repeating at regular intervals. This type of breathing is also described in Sutra 1.34 of Patanjali Yog Sutra. I have analyzed Yogic breathing experimentally and theoretically and found that during Samadhi, when the mind is fully focused, Atman generates oxygen in the brain by interacting with the neurons, and there is no need to take oxygen from the environment. This new discovery became possible only through the practice of Yog and will be immensely important and useful for mankind.
Modern Science does not believe in the existence of Atman, but Yog science has offered a theory of Atman that explains its composition and properties. I have developed instruments and sensors to establish Atman’s existence experimentally. The Nitrogen Chamber experiment also proves Atman’s existence. These sensors and instruments can also record the degree of mental focus (Dhyan) during Yog practice. In this way, meditation and Yog, long considered subjective practices, have become fully scientific procedures. This crucial development became possible through the fusion of neuroscience and Vedanta. It has become possible to discover new laws of physics through Yog and rigorous study of Vedanta and the Bhagavad Gita. These new laws of Physics form the basis of Yog Science, which not only explains spiritual phenomena such as Samadhi, Kundalini, and Moksha but also explains the nature of Dark matter, offers a new explanation of the Big Bang, and accounts for many cosmological observations that baffle scientists. After a public demonstration of the Nitrogen Chamber experiment and its authentication by eminent scientists and engineers, I plan to write a paper on Yog Science for publication.
