Center of Mass and Lord Krishna

It may sound very irrelevant, center of mass and the Lord Krishna, but this is true, these two things have no difference basically, they are one and the same thing, and now you are smiling and asking HOW? Well, first of all let us see what the “center of mass is”.



“The center of mass of a system of particles is a specific point where, for many purposes, the system behaves as if its mass were concentrated there. The center of mass is a function only of the positions and masses of the particles that compose the system. In the case of a rigid body, the position of its center of mass is fixed in relation to the object (but not necessarily in contact with it). In the case of a loose distribution of masses in free space, such as, say, shot from a shotgun, the position of the center of mass is a point in space among them that may not correspond to the position of any individual mass. The center of mass is often erroneously called the center of gravity — the point where gravity can be said to act (although in uniform fields they coincide)”. Source wikiped



Let us understand the above given definition in a simple way, center of mass of any object is the point where the whole mass of the object is concentrated and hence if support is given at that point the object will remain stable(or in equilibirium). For example if you want to balance a flying disk on the tip of your finger you will have to put your finger somewhere in center where the whole mass of the disk is concentrated so that it may not fall on the ground. Hope you got it!



So what about the center of mass of a system where more than one objects are lying in the free space ,



The center of mass of a two-particle system lies on the line connecting the particles (or, more precisely, their individual centers of mass). The center of mass is closer to the more massive object; it is often known as barycenter.



In other words center of mass of a system is the point where whole mass of the system is concentrated or we can say whole system is attracted towards one point.



The word Krishna is derived from the Hindi word “Aakarshan” or “Aakrisht”, the whole universe is attracted towards a point which is the center of mass of the universe called “Krishna”. One more thing, bigger the mass of the object smaller would be the center of mass. Universe being infinite, its center of mass lies on the “zero point”, which is the point of creation, if you have studied the big-bang theory, according to which when there was no time and no space a big bang occurred from that “zero” or “nothingness”. Don’t forget this is what the Science says.



So “Krishna” in other words is the nothingness from which the whole universe is created and hence the universe tends to be dedicated or concentrated or attracted towards this “Zero” or “nothingness” or “Krishna”. That is why few people say that “Krishna” is the greatest God, but they do not know this reason. They can only give you the reference of some book or so, nothing else.



As our body is the miniature universe(I will describe it later), so the center of mass of our body is at the navel area, but the center of mass of our self( as we are not merely a body) or our existence lies within our consciousness, and when the center of mass of our self coincides with that of the universe our scriptures call it the “Ultimate knowledge of truth”, or the “Brahmgyan”, this can be attained through meditation or “Yoga”(to join our self with the universe) which means to become one with the universe. Always remeber, God is not an object to worship, but it is a state to attain, you can not see God you can become one with God. Now you can understand the following lines of a song

"प्रेम के रंग में ऐसी डूबी बन गया एक ही रूप, प्रेम की माला  जपते जपते आंप बनी मैं श्याम"
