![]() Just as water does not serve the rehydration needs of elite athletes, water is also not a fuel for cars. The science behind these drinks ensures athletes have adequate energy throughout the day - replenishing their bodily systems and aiding in recovery. And like most elite athletes, Bolt uses a strict regiment of rehydrating drinks to his benefit. Bolt does not subscribe to superstitious rituals but rather uses biomedical kinesiology to better understand the phases of his race helping him overcome scoliosis, the abnormal curvature of his lower spine, to help him run faster. Science, in its many forms, plays an important role in securing success. Winning an Olympic gold, like most endeavors, is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. It was an act of supreme confidence shown from a top-flight athlete – symbolically at par with the Human Rights Salute given by two black athletes at the 1968 Olympics Games in Mexico. It is my assertion Bolt hushed an Anglophone God - a gesture, reminding the host country, that as a Jamaican he has the right to run fast and win. At the starting blocks of the 100-meter sprint final at the London Olympics, Bolt looked up into the sky and pursed his lips against an extended index finger. Slaves were stripped of the most fundamental of human rights. Slavery was our collective, one of many, incalculable madnesses. Bolt grew up in Jamaica - a country historically reliant and populated by a legacy of indentured slaves. On the issue of motion, Usain Bolt is widely recognized as the world’s fastest man. ![]() This right asserts that citizens have the liberty to travel, reside, and work in a place of their choosing. ![]() The right to mobility is considered a basic human entitlement - enshrined in the constitutions of many sovereign states. Humans are always on the move – migrating and evolving, whether pushing the limits of physical prowess or rocketing a probe to Mars. Motion is a human propensity, embedded in our genetic code. ![]() The sahitya (lyrics) of the songs reflect a profound knowledge of the mantra and jyotisha sastras.Sir Isaac Newton said, “I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people.” There is no disputing physics - it is a science that involves the analysis of matter and its motion through both space and time. Each song is a prayer to one of the nine planets. Muthuswami Dikshitar (1776–1835), a Carnatic music composer from southern India composed the Vavagraha Kritis in praise of the nine grahas. Most Hindu temples around the world have a designated place dedicated to the worship of the navagraha. The seven days of the week of the Hindu calendar also correspond with the seven classical planets and related day names of European culture, and are named accordingly in most languages of the Indian subcontinent. The term was later generalized, particularly during the Middle Ages, to include the sun and the moon (sometimes referred to as "lights"), making a total of seven planets. The term planet was applied originally only to the five planets known (i.e., visible to the naked eye) and excluded the Earth. The nine parts of the navagraha are the Sun, Moon, planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, and the two nodes of the Moon. The term is derived from nava ( Sanskrit: नव "nine") and graha ( Sanskrit: ग्रह "planet, seizing, laying hold of, holding"). The navagraha are nine heavenly bodies and deities that influence human life on Earth according to Hinduism and Hindu astrology. Navagraha, a Raja Ravi Varma painting (sun at the center)
