It is a new finding in the field of science and spiritual activities to understand the connectivity of the individual human beings with the high energy particles of the Universe. It is a scintillating finding that during a concentrated thought process by human beings, the cosmic rays intensity per unit time on the Earth from the Sun and galactic sources rises. The thought processes may be Yoga, prayer, music, dance or any other performing acts which need concentration of mind and body.
Using Space Environment Viewing and Analysis Network (SEVAN), 11 locations have been selected across the world to monitor the cosmic ray variability through scintillators of different thickness and one photomultiplier. These scintillators are made up of plastic materials. The instrument SEVAN was planned during the International Heliophysical Year 2007. It aims to improve the fundamental research of particle acceleration in the vicinity of the Sun and space environment conditions. This is a unique ground-based cosmic ray detector which measures a time series of secondary particles born in cascades originating in the atmosphere by nuclear interactions of protons and nuclei accelerated in the galaxy. The data has been recorded in a continuous mode in all these stations and its centralized hub is in Armenia. All the data is stored through Linux mode in the server in Armenia which can be retrieved by any user for scientific analysis purposes. It is needed to establish that concentrated prayer or any performing acts may improve the health condition of a community.

FAITH AND SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATIONS
There are various incidences in our daily life which have so far no scientific explanation and we depend on our faith system to improve physical and mental health. These faith systems not only involve worshiping god but may also include music, sports, dance, speeches, etc., in which there is only one common factor, that is concentration. Globally, there are different faith systems and their manifestations have been described as miracles. In the history of science and spirituality, some work has been done but for the first time, a concrete proof based on high energy particle variations and its correlation with our prayers are being presented here with ever stronger proofs. World renowned scientist Albert Einstein discussed the possibility of this hidden fact of science in 1940 and published it in the journal, Nature. There were various correlations made with the cosmic ray and heliophysical variability and the natural or physical environment change. This is a precision effort to establish the relationship of the rise of galactic cosmic rays with concentrated prayer. Further, it has been experimentally proved that not only prayer but any concentrated thinking including studies and other positive activities can give rise to solar or galactic cosmic rays. Music and other performing arts and Yoga may play a big role in creating the niche for concentrating cosmic rays from the Sun and the galactic unknown sources.

The Sun-Earth cosmic connection to the environment of the Earth has been well established after repeated research investigations. Natural changes in the environment can be correlated with spiritual activities. Like winter, autumn, summer are environmental conditions while our internal emotions like love, happiness, anger, sacrifice, etc. are caused by the interaction of extra-terrestrial changes. These changes influence human organs to release different hormones which are caused by changes in the Sun, Moon, wind and stars. With spiritual activities, one may understand and can have control on the manifestations. It is possible to create changes in the environment of small to large entities by generating friction between opposite electromagnetic forces of the left and right hands by vigorously rubbing one against the other and some changes in the body and mood is observed.
The potential of prayers in the rise of cosmic rays of different origin, either from the Sun or distant galactic sources, is being established for the first time.
The rise in galactic cosmic rays has the potential to slow down the effect of the magnetic effects of the Sun. It is a temporary effect and is known as ‘Forbears Decrease’.
A sudden rise in cosmic rays from the galactic sources has been observed after the prayer performed in the room of the SEVAN detector on the occasion of Maha Shiv Ratri of February 20, 2012. The SEVAN detector of JNU showed a sharp rise after mass prayer in Delhi and surrounding areas on Maha Shiv Ratri, which was due to concentrated thought processes.
Cosmic Ray Activity Measured
Further, the rise in the cosmic rays has been seen on the day of World Yoga Day on June 21, 2015.
Another example of Armenia can be cited in support of the spirituality relation with cosmic ray variability.
On October 5, 2021, His Holiness Karekin II—Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of all Armenians—departed for Rome (Italy) to participate in the ‘People as Brothers and the Future of the Country: Religions and Cultures in Dialogue’ conference and inter-church prayer, organised by Sant’Egidio Community. During the visit, thousands of Armenians met with His Holiness Pope Francis. The delegation members accompanying His Holiness, His Eminence Archbishop Khajak Parsamyan performed concentrated prayer in Armenia (as reported in the Times, Yerevan, 2021). It has been recorded in the SEVAN detectors operational at Aragats Space Environmental Centre on Mount Aragats in Armenia, that after the prayer there was sudden rise in cosmic ray intensity.
It is a universal belief that all the faith systems are actually spiritual activities across the world. Manifestation of the spiritual activities has been revealed to be the rise of cosmic rays recorded on the earth receiving stations like SEVAN. However, it is possible to have the manifestation recorded as speciation of cosmic rays based on its origin through different faith systems. In Indian context, the rise in cosmic rays during prayer and Yoga has been observed as a rise in galactic cosmic rays with unknown origin, however in other faith systems like Armenia, the rise in the cosmic rays from the Sun has been recorded. However, there was a low in the galactic cosmic rays during these events.
The rise of solar cosmic ray was coupled with the rise in the magnetic field, as recorded by using Sun Observatory Heliophysical Activity (SOHO) satellite on 22 and 23 October, 2021, in between the Sun-Earth Environment, which is also known as Kp values.
The rise in galactic cosmic rays has the potential to slow down the effect of the magnetic effect of the Sun. It is a temporary effect and is known as ‘Forbears Decrease’. It has been observed in different time scales that the nebular blast and changes in the stellar constellation have an impact on the sun. SOHO inferred helioseismological investigations primarily aim at the study of those parts of the solar oscillations spectrum that cannot be obtained from the ground. The required sensitivity for observing the very low modes and the high modes is difficult to achieve from the ground because of noise effects introduced by the Earth’s diurnal rotation for the low modes, and the transparency and seeing fluctuations of the Earth’s atmosphere for the high modes.
SOLAR ATMOSPHERIC REMOTE SENSING
The solar atmosphere remote sensing investigations are carried out with a set of telescopes and spectrometers that will produce the data necessary to study the dynamic phenomena that take place in the solar atmosphere at and above the chromospheres. The plasma is being studied by spectroscopic measurements and high-resolution images at different levels of the solar atmosphere. Solar Plasma diagnostics obtained with these instruments provide temperature, density, and velocity measurements of the material in the outer solar atmosphere.
It has been revealed by leading scientists across the world that there are influences of extra-terrestrial changes on the environment of the Earth, however this is the first time it is established that manmade spiritual activities can influence the extra-terrestrial impact on the Earth. The science of spiritual activities and the extra-terrestrial changes needs to be strengthened by different groups of scientists who have faith in spiritualism.
The relationship between spiritualism and science is the subject of continued debate in philosophy and theology. To what extent are spiritual activities and science compatible? Are spiritualism beliefs sometimes conducive to science, or do they inevitably pose obstacles to scientific inquiry? The interdisciplinary field of ‘science and spirituality’ also called ‘theology and science’, aims to answer these and other questions. It studies historical and contemporary interactions between these fields and provides philosophical analyses of how they interrelate. It has been established that concentrated prayer improves general health conditions by the concentration of the solar and galactic cosmic rays which creates physical and mental health conditions of not only human beings but possibly other animals and plants as well.
