WASHINGTON, D.C. -- "Who am I?" health and spirituality guru Deepak Chopra urged several dozen Capitol Hill staffers to ask themselves.

"What do I want?" he continued, as the group sat silently, breathing slowly, legs apart, with their hands on their knees. "What is my purpose, what is my calling, what am I grateful for?"

Chopra, a physician, best-selling author and business school professor, led his first congressional meditation session Thursday at the invitation of New York Democratic Rep. Steve Israel and Niles-area Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan, who believe meditation could help solve many of the world's social problems.

Chopra urged admirers gathered in a House Budget Committee hearing room to "rewire" the "reptilian brain" that controls their fight-or-flight response by activating other parts of their brain that reduce stress and trigger happiness and inner peace.

"In every cell is the pulsing of life," he told the group, after asking them to become aware of their hearts beating in their fingertips.

Chopra said he'd like to convince Congress the government could save money by by using meditation to increase the safety and social well being of communities, and that he hopes to draw National Institutes of Health interest in research that shows the benefits of meditation and a healthy lifestyle.

Ryan said he's excited that institutions such as Ohio State University and the Cleveland Clinic are promoting a "mindfulness"-based stress reduction program, and the technique could be used to help students and veterans reduce stress. He urged the staffers who participated in the session to share it with their bosses.

"Hopefully we can live in an era that is more like the Renaissance, and less like the Dark Ages," said Ryan, who haswritten his own book about mindfulness. "That's the plan."

Human beings, beggars to millionaires, are same in physical aspects, but differ in having luck/fate. Some people meet accidents and die but some escape miraculously which even modern science can not explain reasonably and terms it as luck/fate. Hindu spiritual astrology explains this subtle difference in terms of theory of karma (bad or good actions of past and present lives). Every living being undergoes its own karma, the law of cause and effect, by which it creates its own destiny based on its thought, words and deeds. Human being undergoes this karma in the cycle of reincarnation.

All things in the universe are coded, identified and accounted by the Creator, i.e., Supreme of Universe. For ex: barcode in a departmental store gives unique details of each and every item. Similarly, data of all living beings (of lower to higher origin and past to present lives) can be derived from the date, time and place of birth of the native. This resembles a barcode of a commercial product which is unique. These details are unique since our planets in the solar system behave like a visible solar system clock which is seen from the Earth with Earth taken as reference point (hence it is not taken as a part of Nava graha). As a result, from the position of planets in our solar system, identification data of each individual can be derived and explained based on above details. These details never superimpose each other since planets move constantly that reflects in dissimilarities in characteristics of each and every person. Here we also have to remember that the human being is a minute sample of Earth, solar system and also the Universe.
