PATNA: A stream of devotees caused a stampede on the first floor of Mahavir Mandir near Patna Junction on Tuesday while making a bid to have a close look at a piece of rock brought specially from Rameshwaram.

Weighing 15 kg, the rock does not sink in water. The devotees believe it is a fragment of the "rocks huge as autumn clouds", as described in Valmiki Ramayan, used to built the Ram Setu by Nala, the son of Vishwakarma.

Devotees elbowed each other and scrambled to get near the large vessel where the stone was kept afloat in water. While some tried to touch it, others splashed their fingers in the water, while still others bowed with folded hands in a show of obeisance.

The rock will be displayed on the temple premises everyday, said temple administrator Nagendra Ojha. Standing behind the vessel, Mahavir Mandir Trust secretary Acharya Kishore Kunal said he brought this "floating" stone from Hanuman Temple at Rameshwaram.

"I was told that during the devastating cyclone of 1964 many such floating pieces of rocks from the Ram Setu were found scattered near Rameshwaram," he said adding only a few of them are now available in Hanuman Temple.

Kunal, who is also administrator of Bihar Board of Religious Trusts, said he wished to prove nothing. However, he asserted that the fact remained that there had been such floating stones near Rameshwaram where a bridge had been constructed by Lord Rama’s army to cross the sea and reach Lanka.

"The availability of these floating stones gives evidence to the account of Valmiki on the construction of Ram Setu which is described in the canto XXII of the Yudha Kand of the Ramayana," he said.

They came by the hundreds yesterday to a Hindu temple in rural Montgomery County to feed milk to a two-foot statue of an elephant- headed god named Ganesh.

And no matter how many skeptics tipped teaspoons of milk into his tiny trunk, Ganesh never seemed to have his fill.

"It's very difficult to explain, except to say it's a miracle," said Arvind Patel, the director of the 2,000-member temple

Shri Mangal Mandir, off New Hampshire Avenue near Sandy Spring.

Miracle or not, Patel said temple members first offered the idol a drink Thursday after they received calls from relatives in

India reporting that similar statues there had developed a taste for milk, a traditional offering.

Medicine on High Blood Pressure-Garlic


Garlic Can Reduce Blood Pressure By Dr. John Briffa Aug 11, 2008
Share: Facebook Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon



A clove a day helps keep blood pressure down. (Louise Valentine/The Epoch Times)Garlic is an oft-touted natural remedy, particularly regarding affairs of the heart. Regular garlic consumption has been said to improve cardiovascular health. In the past, one way it was believed to improve health was its ability to reduce blood pressure.

A previous review found seven trials in which the effects of garlic (powder) were compared with placebo: Three showed a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure (the higher blood pressure value), while four showed a significant reduction in diastolic blood pressure (the lower blood pressure value). Overall, the results indicated that garlic had genuine blood-pressure-lowering potential

Since this review was published, other evidence has come to light. Recently, scientists brought the state of the science on this topic up to date with a meta-analysis, which combined the results of eleven relevant studies

The results demonstrated the following: overall, a statistically significant reduction in systolic blood pressure (an average reduction of 4.6) and overall, no statistically significant reduction in diastolic blood pressure. [Blood pressure is measured in mmHg.]

The authors of this study also went on to separate out the data from individuals in studies who were deemed to have high blood pressure (blood pressure of 140/90 or higher).

In this group, the results showed a statistically significant reduction in systolic blood pressure (an average reduction of 8.4) and a statistically significant reduction in diastolic blood pressure (an average reduction of 7.3).

The authors point out that if the overall effect of garlic on blood pressure seen in the review was applied to the population as a whole, risk of cardiovascular disease and death from cardiovascular disease would be expected to fall by 8 percent to 20 percent. Perhaps it should be borne in mind that garlic might possibly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by other mechanisms as well, notably an anti-coagulant effect (garlic is a blood-thinner, like aspirin).

The dosages of garlic used in the studies on blood pressure were 600 mg to 900 mg. One of garlic’s main active ingredients is believed to be allicin. The dosages used in the studies would translate to a daily allicin dose of 3.6 mg to 5.4 mg. One single fresh clove of garlic contains 5 mg to 9 mg of allicin. For maximum effect, the garlic should be raw (uncooked).
