The scientific claims made in the report below are completely bogus. In particular, the following assertions are a dishonest attempt to fool the public with pseudoscientific nonsense:
QUOTE The yogic practice involving positive thoughts releases electro magnetic power into the plants. Scientific research has demonstrated the effect of thoughts on water. Water stores thought energy and thus energy impacts whoever and whatever use it. The positive thoughts subjected to water had been found to form beautiful crystals and water exposed to negative thoughts form either no crystal or deformed ones. UNQUOTE There is absolutely no evidence or scientific rationale to support these pronouncements. None of these claims have been published in the mainstream scientific literature. Such pseudoscientific claims have only been displayed on fringe New Age, psychedelic and crackpot websites, as well as on websites of religious cults such as the Brahma Kumari Rajayoga cult. Here is one of these bogus websites: http://www.yogickheti.com/news.html It is disturbing that the government department of Agriculture, which is supposed to be secular and to follow only real agricultural science, is promoting such religious nonsense. Could you please give me the email address of a responsible official in this department?
