Hear me out - this business called a "Foodym" (Food + Gym). You get free pizza, cookies, tacos etc. but you got to burn 1.1x the calories you get to eat by doing a gym activity first.

And everyone gets calorie monitoring devices when they join (free of cost). Every equipment has a facial recognition device that confirms your ID along with matching it with your calorie monitoring device scan.

You walk into the gym, work out. And then you can eat... Or... you can keep calorie credits and eat another time inside the next 48 hours. After you eat, you can't work out and accumulate calorie credits for another 2 hours. But a work out session before eating can be as long as you want.

Can kriya processes target certain attributes or energy levels we want to reach? I am aware of the Isha Foundation kriya process they teach, they even have some online.

But I felt these are a small part of something bigger obviously. I am aware of the existence of other lineages but not done their practices. Are there kriya methods to say increase power of certain chakras? Like increasing energy for sports for instance.

Let me know your inputs!

Which mantras satisfy these conditions:

- Don't require idols, images or objects (except those that would pass as ordinary ones, nothing specific to tantra). I am against this and find it demeaning.

- Short and easy to memorize (few stanzas nothing more than 4-5 verses).

Here are things I can do since I have put the above limitations 🙏 (it can include):

- Fasting a whole day, only water. Even two days in row I could manage.

- Multiple rounds of mantra for long hours.

Results have to be clear and certain, not uncertain/vague. Tell me how long it takes also. Thank you. 🙏

My take on tantra is, we need to leverage tantra to gain useful/helpful things in this world as much as possible.

Now, I think we can use any connection/affinity to the gods/devatas to achieve incredible heights as human civilization.

So in general:

(1) Can we approach a devata to get cure for cancer and all illnesses (zero diseases, illnesses)?

(2) Can we approach a devata to find missing people?

Ramanujan made mathematics formulas because a devi gave it to him in dreams. Can we use dream mode to gain more such insights - like science discoveries, missing people location, criminal law truthful verdicts etc.?

I have similarly other questions on the things. But I think the idea is clear. Yantra means a device, so we should be able to create yantras to achieve these ends, don't you think?

Can anyone throw some light on this? If you have done upasana of a deity and are close to him/her, do they carry out your requests?

I didn't know where to ask this, but there is a fair amount of Chemistry involved so I thought I would ask it here.

I’m thinking about an exhaust-treatment idea where instead of relying on expensive metals like platinum, palladium, and rhodium in a catalytic converter, the exhaust first passes through a ceramic honeycomb coated with a high-silica zeolite. The zeolite would temporarily trap hydrocarbons and possibly some CO as exhaust flows through it.

Then, instead of continuously treating the full exhaust stream with plasma, the system would periodically activate a dielectric-barrier-discharge plasma inside the honeycomb channels. The idea is that the plasma would create reactive oxygen species like O radicals, OH radicals, and ozone, which could oxidize the trapped or partially desorbed hydrocarbons and CO into CO₂ and water. A cheap metal-oxide layer like manganese oxide, cerium oxide, cobalt oxide, iron oxide, or copper oxide could be added to help the oxidation reactions.

The reason for using the zeolite trap is to avoid running plasma continuously, since continuous plasma treatment of full exhaust flow would probably take too much power. The hope is that the zeolite stores pollutants passively most of the time, and plasma only runs in short regeneration bursts, using exhaust heat to help clear the trap.

Structurally, I’m imagining something that still looks like a normal catalytic converter: straight-through honeycomb channels, zeolite/oxide coating on the channel walls, and electrodes arranged so plasma forms in the gas channels without needing tiny electrodes inside every channel.

The part I’m unsure about is whether the plasma-generated radicals would actually reach the trapped molecules well enough, whether the zeolite would foul or coke over time, and whether this could do anything useful for NOx or would still need a separate NOx reduction system.

What do you guys think of this idea? Do you think it would work?
