P .S. இதயம் பலவீனமானவர்கள் / என்னை போல கற்பனை சக்தி அதிகம் உள்ளவர்கள் தவிர்க்கவும். Atleast இரவில் படிப்பதை தவிர்க்கவும்! :P


ஒரு தூள் உப்பில் துவங்கி மனித சிந்தனைக்கு அப்பால் இருக்கும் ரகசியங்கள் வரை ஆராய்ந்து எழுதி இருக்கிறார் மதன்.
ஆவி, பேய்... நடுநிசியில் படித்து நரம்பெல்லாம் சில்லிட்டு போனது. Psychonsக்கு மிக எளிய அறிமுகம் தருகிறார். உலகையே வியாபிக்கிற ஆழ்மனம் ( Collective unconsciousness -உலகின் பொது-ஆழ்மனம்) , physical space, emotional space, 100th monkey phenomenon , மனோதத்துவ psi - ESP ( Extra sensory perception) , சில்லறை மழை, நமக்கு parallel ஆக இன்னொரு உலகம் என்று தினுசு தினுசாக கூறுகிறார் அவருக்கே உரித்தான trade -mark humor ஸ்டைலில் !
// ஓவராக இதை பற்றி எழுதினால் ஒரு மாதிரி ஆகி விடுவேனோ, வேற்று-க்ரஹ வாசிகள் மூட் அவுட் ஆகி கடத்தி விடுவார்களோ என்ற பயம் எனக்குண்டு. //
// மோகினி பிசாசு, குட்டி சாத்தன் போன்றவற்றை விரட்ட இந்தியாவில் வேப்பிலையும் ரம்யா கிருஷ்ணன் படங்களும் உதவுகின்றன. விஞ்ஞான வடிவில் நடப்பதென்ன // - ஒவ்வொரு வாக்கியத்திலும் சுவாரசியம் கூட்டுகிறார் மதன்.

பல்வேறு ஆங்கில நூல்களை படித்து விட்டு அதில் உள்ள சம்பவங்களை அப்படியே எழுதியிருக்கிறார். எந்த ஒரு சம்பவத்திற்கும் ஆதாரம் கிடையாது. யாரோ, என்றைக்கோ தனக்கு நேர்ந்ததாக சொல்லும் அமானுஷ்ய நிகழ்வுகள் உண்மையென்றால் நம் ஊரிலேயே ஒவ்வொருவரும் ஒவ்வொரு விதமான சம்பவங்களை அடுக்கிக் கொண்டே செல்வார்கள். நிதானமாக ஆராய்ந்து பார்த்தால் எல்லா நிகழ்வுகளுக்குப் பின்னும் ஏதோ ஒரு காரண காரியம் இருக்கும். மதன் அமானுஷ்யத்தை நம்புகிறாரா? அல்லது மறுக்கிறாரோ? என்பதைத் தெளிவுபடுத்தவேயில்லை. எந்த நிலை பாட்டிலும் இல்லாமல் மர்மம் என்றாலே மனிதனுக்குள் ஒரு வித ஆர்வமிகுதி ஏற்படும் என்ற உளவியலைப் புரிந்து கொண்டு வணிக நோக்கத்திற்காக மட்டுமே இந்நூல் எழுதப்பட்டிருப்பதாக எனக்குத் தோன்றுகிறது,

மனிதனும் மர்மங்களும்.... ஒரு தூள் உப்பில் இருக்கும் மர்மத்தில் துவங்கி ஆவிகள், டெலிபதி, ஏலியன்ஸ், pre-cognition, 100 monkey phenomenon என்று மதன் இந்த புத்தகத்தில் கூறியுள்ள அனைத்தும் மெய் சிலிர்க்க வைக்கிறது.

பல விடை கூற முடியாத அல்லது அறிவியல் உலகத்தால் நிரூபிக்க முடியாத பல உண்மை சம்பவங்கள் படிக்க புதியதாக இருந்தது.

கென்னடி மரணம், ஆப்ரஹாம் லிங்கன் மரணமும் முன்னரே கனவில் வந்ததும்... டைட்டானிக் மூழ்குவது 100 வருடம் முன்னரே புத்தகத்தில் வந்ததும் படிக்கும் பொழுது சிலிர்ப்பு உண்டாகிறது.

இவ்வளவு தகவலையும் சேகரித்து அதை சிறிது நகைச்சுவையுடன் புரியும்படி எழுதி இருக்கும் மதனின் உழைப்பிற்கு இந்த 5 🌟.

குறிப்பு: இந்த புத்தகம் படிக்கையில் இரவு தூங்கும்போது பக்கத்தில் யாரோ படுத்து இருப்பது போலவும் யாரோ பேசுவது போலவும் தோன்றினால் அதற்கு முற்றிலும் காரணம் இந்த புத்தகமே.

Have you ever thought of ghost? Normally it would be "No" from you. If you read this book you will feel there is something around us, this book starts off with ghost stories and it's also answers few questions lingering in our mind about ghost and it's presence. After that it talks about aliens, and also about special people who had special powers like bending a spoon, levitation by humans and so on. It's a wonderful read, this book also talks about magical natural happening at the end. Try this to get a different view about ghosts, aliens, super humans and super natural happenings.

Starting from apparitions and their categorization( crisis apparition- my fav) , it was all together a different journey. The theory '100th Monkey Phenomenon' was phenomenal. Dematerialize concept was touched here and there , though it requires an extensive reading to understand the intricacies of it. Differences between subliminal mind and sub conscious mind was highlighted. More over the concept of pshychons was interesting. I believe most of them couldn't be hallucinations. Fundamentals of clairvoyance, pshycho kinesis, precognizance are covered.

Telepathy is much more interesting and wooed me to a greater extent to involve my concentration much in to the book. The emanation of aura signal from the hand is another new learning. And finally the unidentified flying objects(UFO). Spontaneous human combustion was interesting.

Books that would attract me after reading this would be
The story of medicine by Kenneth walker
The world and that
Ghost sightings
The chariots of gods

SO EXCITING BOOK..IT REVEALS ABOUT THE MYSTERIES IN OUR PRESENT LIFE. IT EXPLAINS ABOUT THE GHOSTS, SOUL, ALIENS, TELEPATHY, MAGICAL RAINS ETC..
AND THE BEST PART IS THE RECORDS & THE REFERENCE BOOKS ARE MENTIONED BY THE AUTHOR.
THIS HELPS ME PERSONALLY TO GET DEPTH INTO A SPECIFIC TOPIC AND IT MAKES ROAD TO GET MY DESTINY IN THAT TOPIC.

Lots of effort from Madan's side, but a little bit boring after sometime... It is the same thing again and again and... again...

A book listing down some of the unsolved mysteries of human is not a genre that we get to read that often. Some of the experiences make us feel astonished, shocking and frightening. The description of ghost, their types and facts about them are quite different and interesting to read.

Some of the mysteries like spontaneous human combustion, teleporting and telepathy EW difficult to digest. We could not stop from comparing these with supernatural stories that we heard about siddhar in tamil history. UFO is something that is quite different but since there has been too much over dose of it in movies and other series it is not that difficult to relate and think at times even a bit boring.

No matter what your taste is for sure you will have something in the book that will impress you. Go for it for sure, I would say rather a must read to know things that we generally not notice or pay attention.

Definitely worth reading. The point outs are very well Synchronised...About Telepathy and the already seen effect all very nice.. But all the things listed are somewhat is not getting close to heart since most of them happened or may have happened in other countries ..

The book was good but it boasts more about non-natural (pseudo science) events. He just explains the story as our grandma tells horror story. This book doesn't prove the existence of soul by scientific way but it is so good to read. The way author express the events are so chilling to read.

படிக்கும் போது நினைத்து பார்க்க முடியாத அளவிற்கு என் கற்பனை நீள்கிறது.. இன்னும் இந்த விஷயங்களை ஆழமாக ஆராய ஆர்வம் பெருக்கெடுக்கிறது..

கடவுள், ஆவி என எதன் மேலும் நம்பிக்கை இல்லாதவர்களும் டெலிபதி ஒரு வேளை நிஜமா இருக்குமோ? நம் கனவுகளும் வருங்கால நிகழ்வுகளை கணிக்க உதவுமோ என்று எண்ணுமளவு ஆசிரியர் அருமையாக தன் நடையில் விவரித்துள்ளார்.
