Международное Общество Сознания Кришны: К вопросу о рецепции бенгальского вайшнавизма на Западе // The International Society for Krishna Consciousness: to the Question about Reception of Bengalian Vaishnavism in the West
Global Hinduism is not homogenous. Usually in the process of adjustment to the Western consumer Hinduism transforms to a large extent. Although the founder of ISKCON was not ready to make a compromise with Western worldview and religiosity, ISKCON became one of the most popular forms of Western Hinduism. The article answers the question why ISKCON, rooted in Caitanya Vaishnavism, has experienced just a slight transformation and at the same time is so popular in America and Europe
Relation between Psychological Time and Physical Time
Recent physical research on time suggests that time is not a physical reality in which humans perceive changes. Time measured with clocks is merely a numerical sequence of changes that takes place in quantum vacuum. Humans experience this constant flow of numerical sequence of change in the frame of psychological time, i.e. “past-present-future”. In physical reality, the past, present, and future exist only as a mathematical numerical sequence of change taking place in quantum vacuum; time as a numerical sequence of change as measured with clocks is exclusively a mathematical quantity. We humans perceive this mathematical numerical order of change with our senses, then it is processed within the framework of linear psychological time “past-present-future”, and finally it is experienced. The physical time that we measure with clocks is exclusively a numerical sequence of physical change, while the linear “past-present-future” time is exclusively a psychological reality contained in the human mind
New Nonlocal Biological Effect: A Preliminary Research
We report here our experimental findings of new nonlocal biological effect measured objectively and quantitatively under blind conditions. The method used includes the steps of providing two parts of quantum-entangled medium, applying one part to a biological system such as a human, contacting the other part with a desired substance such as a medication, and detecting change of a biological parameter with a detecting device. Using this method, we have found that after consumption by a test subject of one part of the quantum entangled water, the subject’s heart rate was non-locally increased under blind conditions by adding to the second part of the quantum-entangled water an over-the-counter medication Primatene which contains the heart stimulant ephedrine. The said increase of heart rate is measurable with a heart rate monitor, statistically significant and consistently reproducible

Generalization of thermodynamics allowing negentropic entanglement and a model for conscious information processing
Costa de Beauregard considers a model for information processing by a computer based on an analogy with Carnot's heat engine. I am grateful for Stephen Paul King for bringing this article to my attention in Time discussion group and also for inspiring discussions which also led to the birth of this section. As such the model Beauregard for computer does not look convincing as a model for what happens in biological information processing.
Combined with TGD based vision about living matter, the model however inspires a model for how conscious information is generated and how the second law of thermodynamics must be modified in TGD framework. The basic formulas of thermodynamics remain as such since the modification means only the replacement S--> S-N, where S is thermodynamical entropy and N the negentropy associated with negentropic entanglement. This allows to circumvent the basic objections against the application of Beauregard's model to living systems. One can also understand why living matter is so effective entropy producer as compared to inanimate matter and also the characteristic decomposition of living systems to highly negentropic and entropic parts as a consequence of generalized second law. ADP-ATP process of metabolism provides a concrete application for the generalized thermodynamics
