PREFACE

Human-body is the most evolved and marvelous creation of nature. Every component -from organs to nerves, muscles, tissues, cells, molecules and subtler functional units of this living system reflects the limitless excellence and absolute perfection of the Omnipotent eternal creator. The crown organ -brain is the sole regulator of this amazing automatic system. Because of its wonderful memory unit, nonstop multiple activities of information processing, learning, computing and decision making, etc., almost instantly, the human brain is often referred as the supreme computer which is the most remarkable ‘product’ of Nature’s perpetually advanced technology. The intellectual and emotional domains of consciousness pertain to its subtle counterpart-the mind.

The present book is compiled from the first chapter of volume eighteen of Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya Vangmaya series. It introduces the neuro-scientific, psychological and spiritual aspects of human brain and mind. Bioelectrical activities of the neuro-synaptic connections between million billions of neurons, information processing through the nervous system and the neuronal network and the mechanism of storage and retrieval of memory are discussed here along with the anatomy of the human brain and psychological depths of human mind. Major sections of this book deal with detailed analysis of the endocrine system and the interrelationship of hormonal secretions and physiological, biochemical, mental and emotional variations.

Trends and achievements of research in neurosciences are also highlighted here with relevant reference to the experimental findings. The subtle connections between the endocrine glands and the extrasensory power centers, described as șat chakras and granthis in the spiritual texts of yoga, are elucidated and guidelines are offered towards spiritual endeavors (sādhanās) of activating these centers.

Few people seem to know that the left and right components of the human brain largely work independently and complementarily. The principal role of the left side brain consists of motor control and regulations of other bodily activities. The right side brain-also called the “philosophical or religious brain”, conducts the sensory functions and the sensitive mental processes pertaining to -thinking, imagination, artistic creativity and the soft sentiments like compassion and devotion, intrinsic faith and emotional inclination etc. The author adeptly guides how the balanced activities and harmonious linkage between the two halves of the brain leads to multifaceted development of personality.

The book also offers scientifically argued, lucid answers to some of our natural inquisitiveness concerning What are the functional centers in the brain, which might be responsible for exceptional memory? What triggers our sentimental dynamics? What accounts for gifted brains? How to arouse the hidden potentials of mind, etc? Hope it would inspire us to move deeper in the depths of the ‘esoteric treasure’ bestowed by the Supreme Consciousness on our brain.

When a person’s level of consciousness raises,
lower tendencies such as hatred, greed,
and anger fall away from his nature like dry leaves
and higher attributes, such as generosity
and compassion, grow in equal proportion.
