I have also given a mathematical formula for Emotional Quotient (E.Q.). EQ can be expressed mathematically as the product of Intelligence Quotient (I.Q.) and wisdom (w):

E.Q. = I.Q. x w

Gosh!

Besides, connection of chakras with the practice of Yoga, chakra has also great role in the development of personality. People do not realize that personalities can grow to include a balance of all the six chakras. Jung referred to this growth process as "individuation", and associated it with life's spiritual dimension. Danah Zohar evolves a model of spiritual quotient (sq) based on the six petals of a lotus and its centre, corresponding to the seven chakras described by the Hinduism's Kundalini Yoga, as an aid to the process of individuation in the mid-1990s. Contribution of Danah Zohar for coining the term spiritual quotient for the first time is immense. But she did not establish any mathematical relationship, which is very much required for this quotient.

Deepak Chopra has given a formula of spiritual quotient in terms of Deed (D) and Ego (E). According to Deepak Chopra S.Q. =D/E. He (2006) writes: If Vedanta is right and there is only one reality, then all desires must follow the same mechanics, desires arise and are fulfilled in consciousness. Making yourself happy involves ..... I have a " Spiritual Quotient" where SQ = D/E. Where D = Deeds and E = Ego. Now you can ONLY have an SQ = infinity when E = 0. If E is little even then SQ is approaching infinity (or one is close to be a "Great Master") but not actually "Pure .This appears to be very fascinating but it is highly abstract which cannot be measured experimentally, accurately and precisely. However, this formula has immense value to understand S.Q.

I discovered a mathematical relationship for S.Q as given my previous comment about ten years back in 2001. I have used physiological parameters which can be measured accurately and precisely and can be tested and verified experimentally. According to this formula S.Q. can be expressed as the ratio of parasympathetic dominance (P.D.) to sympathetic dominance (S.D.). Parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) and sympathetic nervous system (SNS) are the two parts of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) which is largely under hypothalamic control. Hypothalamus is situated very close to the Sixth Chakra. During practice of meditation at Sixth Chakra these centres are galvanized which has very positive effect on practitioners spiritual, emotional, psychological and physical well being.

According to this relationship spiritual quotient can be written as:

S.Q. = P.D./S.D.

If the value of S.Q. comes >1 (greater than one), it can be assumed that the person is moving towards self-realisation and if the value of S.Q. comes

Anirudh

Have you tried your quotients on a group of people to see if it works, according to the reality of each person and the results?

It's not an empirical work. It's purely theoretical work based on intuition and results recorded for sympathetic dominance and parasympathetic dominance in the books of physiology and own experience of doing meditation.

How can anyone try that empirically? I mean, how should anyone measure intelligence or wisdom on a metric scale so that you could multiply all that?

Sixth Chakra is situated very close to hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is a portion of brain that contains a number of small nuclei with a variety of functions. One of the most important functions of the hypothalamus is to link nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary glands.

Autonomic nervous system (ANS) is largely under hypothalamic control. ANS consists of parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) and sympathetic nervous system (SNS). PSNS is activated during meditative calm and during stress SNS is activated. When PSNS is activated, heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure decreased. Supply of blood in the digestive tract increased. When SNS is activated heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure increased. Supply of blood to the muscles and exterior organs increased and to the digestive tract decreased. In addition to these, there are many other parameters which can be compared. Parasympathetic Dominance (P.D.) is the state of PSNS activation and Sympathetic Dominance (S.D.) is the state of SNS activation. Instruments are available in medical science to measure these parameters.

Now we can assign numerical value to each parameter. Then put the value in the formula for S.Q. and see the result. We can show the calculation as mentioned below:

S.Q.= P.D./S.D. = Σ X / Σ Y

Where X=x1+x2+x3+ …….

And Y=y1+y2+y3+…….

During PSNS activation (P.D.), we assign ‘1’ to each parameter (x1+x2+x3+…..) and ‘0’ to each parameter (y1+y2+y3+…..). During SNS activation (S.D.), we assign ‘1’ to each parameter (y1+y2+y3+…) and ‘0’ to each parameter (x1+x2+x3+….).

By putting the numerical value, thus achieved, in the above formula for S.Q. we can calculate the Spiritual Quotient of an individual.

Higher is the S.Q. lower is the autonomic mobilization to encounter day-to-day stress.

This mathematical relationship of spiritual quotient will certainly facilitate further research in the area of spiritual science.

Kindly let me know what do you mean by Math % Nervous system? Then I will discuss about Spiritual health and ultimately we will establish relation as you desired. Thanks.

could someone help me to get a spirituality scale. Is there any standerdised scale or inventory which can measure spirituality or spiritual development of individual?

Dear Eisa Johali and Ranvijay Singh

I have attempted to give spirituality scale through the formula derived by me for spiritual quotient (S.Q.) Prof. Asha Bhatnagar (2001) of National Council for Education, Research and Training, New Delhi wrote me that this formula explains spirituality index partially. I agreed with her and replied that study of cosmology, physiology and psychology and their relationship with each other is necessary. I will deal with spiritual health in my next comment.

Hello Eisa Johali

Here is some views on Spiritual Health.

"We civilized members of Western culture like to think of ourselves as rational beings who go about satisfying our motives in an intelligent way. To a certain extent we do that, but we are also emotional beings-more emotional than we often realize. Indeed, most of the affairs of everyday life are tinged with feeling and emotion.........Life would be dreary without such feelings."(Morgan and King, 1975).

"Life in Western society is complex and often tension filled. Hour by hour, day by day, the autonomic nervous system is mobilized to help us deal with the interpersonal and impersonal stresses we encounter. Isn't there some way to calm down? Can't we somehow reverse the autonomic mobilization that may be the basis of psychosomatic disorders and that is so wearing in the long way?" (Morgan and King, 1975).

"Perhaps we can. Taking a cue from Eastern religions, psychologists have interesting themselves in the age old practice of meditation". (Morgan and King, 1975). There are many types and versions of meditation. Some concentrate to meditate at sixth chakra. This is superior to all other kind of meditation. Sixth chakra is closely connected to hypothalamic region. ANS is largely under control of hypothalamus. Due to protracted practice of this kind of meditation the mind comes under our voluntary control.

According to Swami Vishnu Devananda:”Through meditation, the play of the mind is witnessed. In the early stages nothing more can be done than to gain understanding as the ego is observed constantly asserting itself. But in times its game become familiar, and one begins to prefer the peace of contentment. When the ego is subdued, energies can then be utilized constructively for personal growth and for the service of others”.

Thank you very much Eisa. You also believe it or not, I respect Islam and all other religions very much. Founders of .all religions sacrificed their all for the enlightenment of the masses. Please keep in touch.

Thank you Eisa. I am now highly impressed with you. You will agree with me that human body is one every where, physiology is one every where and cosmology where we live is one every where. So religious teachings are also one every where. The difference is of language, of culture and of geographical conditions only. We don't fight for religion we only fight for cultural supremacy. Religion in latin means re+ligare (re union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness). My formula for S.Q. is an indicator of one's spirituality. It has nothing to do with measurement of deviation.

Respected Sir, As far as i know about spirituality and spiritual aspects, i believe there is no measurement for them , i have read Deepak chopra and Sri Ravi Shankar, i love their books.. but putting spirituality and spirit in methametical equation is like trapping infinite in finite boundaries.. and how can you measure ego and deed .. and who will decide fate of particular deed.. Spirituality is an intrinsic phenomenon and its quotient , can be measured by divine alone.. If you determining your SQ , it means you judging yourself and your capability.. and dear our capability and spiritiual quotient is beyond our understanding and reason.. Reason can't describes the matter which has no end neither on side of God nor man.. and dear Eisa no religious man is terrorist... Lover of God can't be beast..

Dear Sumira I don't want to trap infinite into finite boundaries. But if we want to bring religious matter under scientific investigation such efforts are necessary. Danah Johar coined the term SQ for the first time without suggesting any mathematical relationship. For a Quotient some kind of concrete mathematical relationship is mandatory otherwise don't use the word 'quotient'. Deed and ego which Deepak Chopra used in his formula are abstract and the parameters which I have suggested can be easily measured in lab conditions which is very much required for experimentation.

But dear anirudh, where is the derivation of these formulae?

Thank you very much dear Mr. Mukesh. There is no long steps involved in deriving these formulas. These ratios are intuition based developed at thought level. If you have some experience of doing meditation you can yourself verify what I am saying.

Thank you very much Mr Anirudha . How can you prove this recherché scientifically?

Thank you very much Dr. Upadhaya. This can be proved scientifically through the normal course of experimentation as is done in humanities.

Sir,

can i get in any article on the spiritual scale, spiritual formula and emotional quotient scale and formula

Dear Mr. Aswini

Thank you very much. You may visit following two sites on Google.

Best Wishes

Dear Mr. Anirudh.

If I may, I'll do the next question. What method did you used to quantify the autonomic nervous system activity in lab?. HRV has been used?... Did you know that we can measure the sympatic and parasympatic behavior with Heart Frecuency Variability? . This is a index simple and easy to register, and there's a simple software that you can use for analyse the signals. HRV works because the estadistic analysis of there register shows instant's predominance of any of both of them sympatic and parasimpatic systems.

I hope the above will be of interest.
