"The presence of the Supreme God in our galaxy is called the Galactic Logos or the Galactic Parabrahman.
The Golden Age (Spiritual Age) occurs when our solar system is nearest to the center of the galaxy, nearest to the Galactic Logos.
The Dark Age occurs when it is farthest away. This great truth has been taught by the Great Spiritual Teachers. This great truth has been recently clarified by Sri Yukteswar Giri, in his book, The Holy Science, 1894.
Spiritual Evolution is governed by the Law of Cycles. It is cyclical but on an upward trend". (The Existence of God is Self-Evident, pages 57-59)
Cosmic Year
In 1894, Sri Yukteswar wrote the book, The Holy Science. He described that our solar system rotates around a grand center called Vishnunabhi, which is the seat of the creative power. (Page 7)
"According to science, our solar system orbits around the center of the galaxy, along with all the other stars in the galaxy but not within the same period. Stars nearest the center have a shorter period of orbit than those farther out.
Our solar system is located in the outer part of the galaxy. The speed of the solar system due to the galactic rotation is about 220 kilometers per second. The disk of stars in the Milky Way is about 100,000 light years across and our solar system is located about 30,000 light years from the galaxy’s center.
Based on a distance of 30,000 light years and a speed of 220 kilometers per second, our solar system orbits around the center of the Milky Way once every 225 million years.
This period of time is called a cosmic year. Our solar system has orbited the galaxy more than 20 times during its 5 billion year lifetime. The motions of the period are studied by measuring the positions of lines in the galaxy spectra". (http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2002/StacyLeong.shtml)
"By the latest scientific computation, using a radio telescope system that measures celestial distances 500 times more accurately than the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers plotted the motion of the Milky Way and found that our sun and its family of planets were orbiting the galaxy at about 135 miles per second.
That means it takes the solar system about 226 million years to orbit the Milky Way and puts the most precise value ever determined on one of the fundamental motions of the Earth and its sun, said James Moran of Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts".

Binary and Multiple Stars
According to Sri Yukteswar, in oriental astronomy, moons revolve around their planets, and planets turning on their axis, revolve with their moons around the sun; and the sun, with its planets and their moons, takes some star for its dual and revolves round it in about 24,000 years of our earth—a celestial phenomenon which causes the backward movement of the equinoctial points around the zodiac. (The Holy Science by Sri Yukteswar, page 7)
"Historically, double stars were first noted by Ptolemy. The first double star was discovered and separated with a telescope was by Giovanni Battista Riccioli in 1651, followed by Huygens, 1656.
The first catalog of double stars, a list of 80, was compiled by Christian Meyer of Mannheim in 1778, followed by William Herschel’s catalog in 1782 with 269 pairs and in 1785 of about 700 pairs".
(http://www.la.yurisnight.net/messier/bina.html)
"The term binary star was coined by Sir William Herschel in 1802 to designate, in his definition, 'a real double star – the union of two stars that are formed together in one system by the law of attraction' ".
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_star)
"While there is no obvious visible companion star to our sun, there could be a dark binary, such as a brown dwarf or possibly a relatively small black hole, either of which might be very difficult to detect, without accurate and lengthy analysis".
(http://www.binaryresearchinstitute.org/introduction/binary.shtml)
"It is believed that a quarter to half of all stars are in binary systems, with as many as 10% of these systems containing more than two stars (triples, quadruples, etc.)".
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_stars)
Golden Age and Dark Age
“When the sun reached the point in its orbit which is farthest from the grand center, the intellectual power of man was so diminished that it could no longer comprehend anything beyond the gross material of creation”. (The Holy Science, page 13)
When the sun reaches the point in its orbit which is nearest to the grand center, “The human intellect can comprehend all, even God the Spirit, beyond this visible world”. (The Holy Science, page 11)
The highest point of the Golden Age or the Spiritual Age occurs when the sun is nearest the center of the galaxy, nearest to the Galactic Logos or the Galactic Parabrahman. The lowest point of the Dark Age occurs when the sun is farthest away from the center of the galaxy, farthest from the Galactic Logos or the Galactic Parabrahman.
This is similar to the relationship of a Sat Guru (main spiritual teacher) and his disciple. When the disciple is physically near the Sat Guru, the disciple’s spiritual cord and chakras become much bigger.
The mind of the disciple becomes clear and understanding abstruse matters becomes easy. Achieving higher degree of spiritual oneness and illumination becomes much easier. When the disciple is nearest the Sat Guru, this corresponds to the Golden Age.
When the disciple is physically farther from the Sat Guru, the disciple’s spiritual cord and chakras become much smaller and return to their usual sizes. The mind becomes less clear.
Understanding of abstruse subject matters becomes difficult. Practicing meditation requires much more effort. When the disciple is farthest from the Sat Guru, this corresponds to the Dark Age.
From the lowest point of the Dark Age to the highest point of the Golden Age takes 12,000 years. This is called the ascending arc. From the peak of the Golden Age to the lowest point of the Dark Age takes also 12,000 years. This is called the descending arc. The complete cycle takes 24,000 years. The Golden Age is called Satya Yuga. The Dark Age is called Kali Yuga.
Human evolution is not linear but cyclical on an upward trend. Evolution of civilization is not linear but cyclical, also on an upward trend. Civilizations have risen and fallen countless times.
This is why in ancient civilizations there are mentions of flying vehicles or airplanes and objects that reflect the existence of highly advanced civilizations. This article is a result of the union of science and spirituality
"Real self-knowledge is the awakening to consciousness of the Divine Nature of Man." ~ Helena Blavatsky
"The eyes of wisdom are like the ocean depths; there is neither joy nor sorrow in them. Therefore the soul of the disciple must become stronger than joy, and greater than sorrow. " ~ Helena Blavatsky

control your thinking in very specific ways
Control Your Reactions and Responses
There are three basic differences in the reactions of optimists and pessimists. The first difference is that the optimist sees a setback as temporary, while the pessimist sees it as permanent. The optimist sees an unfortunate event, such as an order that falls through or a sales call that fails, as a temporary event, something that is limited in time and that has no real impact on the future. The pessimist, on the other hand, sees negative events as permanent, as part of life and destiny.
Isolate the Incident
The second difference between the optimist and the pessimist is that the optimist sees difficulties as specific, while the pessimist sees them as pervasive. This means that when things go wrong for the optimist, he looks at the event as an isolated incident largely disconnected from other things that are going on in his life.
See Setbacks as Temporary Events
For example, if something you were counting on failed to materialize and you interpreted it to yourself as being an unfortunate event, but something that happens in the course of life and business, you would be reacting like an optimist. The pessimist, on the other hand, sees disappointments as being pervasive. That is, to him they are indications of a problem or shortcoming that pervades every area of life.
Don't Take Failure Personally
The third difference between optimists and pessimists is that optimists see events as external, while pessimists interpret events as personal. When things go wrong, the optimist will tend to see the setback as resulting from external factors over which one has little control.
If the optimist is cut off in traffic, for example, instead of getting angry or upset, he will simply downgrade the importance of the event by saying something like, “Oh, well, I guess that person is just having a bad day.”
The pessimist on the other hand, has a tendency to take everything personally. If the pessimist is cut off in traffic, he will react as though the other driver has deliberately acted to upset and frustrate him.
Remain Calm and Objective
The hallmark of the fully mature, fully functioning, self-actualizing personality is the ability to be objective and unemotional when caught up in the inevitable storms of daily life. The superior person has the ability to continue talking to himself in a positive and optimistic way, keeping his mind calm, clear and completely under control. The mature personality is more relaxed and aware and capable of interpreting events more realistically and less emotionally than is the immature personality. As a result, the mature person exerts a far greater sense of control and influence over his environment, and is far less likely to be angry, upset, or distracted.
Take the Long View
Look upon the inevitable setbacks that you face as being temporary, specific and external. View the negative situation as a single event that is not connected to other potential events and that is caused largely by external factors over which you can have little control. Simply refuse to see the event as being in any way permanent, pervasive or indicative of personal incompetence of inability.
Resolve to think like an optimist, no matter what happens. You may not be able to control events but you can control the way you react to them.
Action Exercises
Now, here are three actions you can take immediately to put these ideas into action.
First, remind yourself continually that setbacks are only temporary, they will soon be past and nothing is as serious as you think it is.
Second, look upon each problem as a specific event, not connected to other events and not indicative of a pattern of any kind. Deal with it and get on with your life.
Third, recognize that when things go wrong, they are usually caused by a variety of external events. Say to yourself, “What can’t be cured must be endured,” and then get back to thinking about your goals.

women equality
Emerging Trends of Women in the IT Profession – India
Introduction:
India has emerged as one of well recognized developing countries that is serving the Globe with its Information Technology Industry contribution. Women personalities like Sarojini Naidu & Indira Gandhi made India proud by leading from the front. Today, there are many such women who have been the backbone of the recognition that India has achieved in ICT business. A silent revolution is taking place with evolution of women empowerment in the knowledge era. They are getting the best access to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) education, employment opportunity & becoming owners of IT companies.
The purpose of this presentation is to map the emerging trends in India on the role of Women in Information & Communication Technology and look at what could happen in future, if this trend continues and is maintained with gender equality.
ICT access & emerging trend in education:
In the past decades, Indian economy was more determined by Agricultural & Industrial sector growth. However, last 10 Years especially from 1995, the dependency on Information Technology for building its economy is very explicitly visible. This is demonstrated by virtue of IT industry Foreign Exchange earning being the # 2 contributor to Indian Foreign Exchange reserves and comfortable balance of payment position. IT industry turnover of US $ 16500 Million in 2002-03 contributes 3.15% of National GDP. This is higher than the 2.87% in 2001-02 Can Indian men alone could have got the economy spiral to this extent? The answer is an obvious “NO”. In a country where 50% of the population is women, who else could have supported this revolution and remarkable turn around!! The obvious answer is “Indian Women in IT”.
In the early 80’s there were hardly few students who took to Computer Science. Women amongst them were very handful. Communication infrastructure and Curriculum support for literacy in computer was at a nascent stage at that time. Access to Information and Communication Technology itself was limited and was available only to those who could afford its cost. For example getting a telephone line, purchasing a computer & software were not that easy to reach the masses in India.
Twenty years down the line there has been dramatic and systematic change in access to ICT. Affordability, Reach, Current Technology, Academic support, Human Resource training, Employment opportunity, Global Connectivity etc in ICT segment have been rapidly transforming Indian economy and its citizen’s way of life. Educated Women have had significant breakthrough by breaking the traditional household, child rearing, socially oppressed life style, because of access to ICT. Testimony to this is the enrollment in engineering education and the growing literacy level even amongst the rural women. Government of India through its “National Programme for Education of Girls in Elementary Level (NPEGEL) with an outlay of US$ 230 Million & reach in 21 States has created enough synergy to improve rural female literacy and gender gap in the educationally backward blocks. Co-education in almost all schools, colleges and exclusive women academic institutions have shown the door for more girls to pursue studies of their interest. Prominent amongst the preferred education currently is ICT field. This emerging trend is basically due to “WOMEN” being equally recognized for their ability and contribution in “KNOWLEDGE” oriented industry with less of physical and masculine demands for execution of work.
