dian literature and tried to fix its dates subsequent to Egyptian or Sumerian records and

thereby distorting geological and historical chronology. Different parts of veda, mantra-

br¢hma´a (including ¢ra´yaka, upani¾ad) are inter-related, but they are assigned different

periods. Veda is considered multi-god theory evolving into single god of upani¾ad era. But

different forms are transforms of the same, so there is no concept of conversion in Hinduism.

Even idols are temporary models for ontemplation, not to be preserved like holy-grail, or

Hazarat-bal, nor nail or teeth of Buddha. Another view is that tantra is opposite to veda and

is merely totem culture of illierate tribes all over the world. Pur¢´a is called bunch of stray

stories compiled recently during Islamic rule. By knowing complementary nature, it will be

clear that all three streams have the same origin-¢gama (tantra), nigama (veda) and pur¢´a.

It is stated (1) that Brahm¢ was undone in the beginning as to how the creation is to be

started. Then he recalled the procedure of previous era through pur¢´a and then created

vedas. Method of contemplation, experiment, research and assimilation of facts is subject of

tantra which is implied here without specific mention.

Astronomical era is defined by a yuga of 43,20,000 years and a kalpa or day of Brahm¢ is

equal to 1000 yuga. However, historic era is defined by period of precessional motion of

earth’s axis which is 26,000 years (2). This is divided by 71 manu periods of 365 years each

corresponding to 365 days in a solar year. Mathematical yuga of 24,000 years is formed by

merging common part of apogee motion with precession. Its two halves of 12,000 years give

pur¢´a yuga of 12,000 divya (solar) years and cycle of b¤ja-samsk¢ra (basic correction) of

Brahmagupta and (3) Bh¢skara-II. Practical ayana yuga is of 21,600 years corresponding to 1’minute of ayana motion calculated by Munj¢la, Bh¢skara-II etc. This is joint effect of apogee

(mandocca) of earth’s orbit and precession of earth’s axis which causes glacial cycles (4).

Counting 26,000 years yuga from 3102 BC at Kali start when veda was finalized (if 0 AD

is counted, it is 3101 BC), Sv¢yambhuva Manu or Human Brahm¢ was in 29102 BC. Present

form of veda, tantra was finalized at time of Vaivasvata Manu in 13,902 BC (10,800 years

before start of Kali). It was disturbed and destroyed in great floods and was revived in 8576

BC from Ikºv¢ku’s rule, from which pur¢´a chronology of solar dynasty starts (5).

Scientific civilization was again destroyed in Mah¢bh¢rata war in 3139 BC. Remnants of

knowledge of tantra was preserved in text form during period of Gorakhn¢tha in 9th century

AD. Prior to that, Bauddha and Jaina sects along witth vaidika tantras were in practice.

2. Vidy¢ and Mah¢vidy¢-Vidy¢ is ºruti (=hearing), i.e. perception from outside by

‘puru¾a’. ‘Mahar’ is surrounding of ‘pura’ (any structure, town) in which puru¾a dwells.

Mah¢vidy¢ is, thus, perception by mahar or effect on it by actions of puru¾a.

Original reference or Brahma is atharva (tharva=shaking, atharva=tranquil). From this, 3

steps of ºruti-(1) form of a body, (2) coming of information and (3) knowledge-give rise to 3

-1-

vedas-§k, Yaju, S¢ma. For creation as a whole-form, motion, field of influence (s¢ma) of

body in which it can be perceived are-¨k, yajur, s¢ma. These are called-agni (condensed form

or energy, fire), v¢yu (air, motion), and ravi (=sun, its field of light)-also.

Background Atharva Consider

Atharva is reference background or mahar for other three elements, so it is source of

mah¢vidy¢ or tantra. Thus, tray¤ or 3-fold classification means 4 vedas including the original

source. Atharva itself is divided into two parts in various ways-

(i) Par¢ and apar¢ vidy¢ (7)-These are also called vidy¢ and avidy¢ in short. Avidy¢ is classifi-

cation of science, vidy¢ is unification.

(ii) Agni (concentrated matter/energy within a boundary) soma (dispersed energy, rarified).

This is also called rudra (ºiva) and ºakti, teja and rasa (8). Agni or anala is concentrated, so it

cools down, it is called down going ºiva. Soma is upward going ºakti as it receives energy and

temperature and goes up.

(iii) Root word is ‘¢p’ subject to two creative currents. Bh¨gu pulls inwards and concentrates,

A¬gir¢ radiates and spreads. These two currents have created 3 vedas out of Atharva (9).

(iv) ¡¬girasa itself becomes of two types-ghora and atharva. Soma brightened by agni radia-

tion is bh¢svara (bright) called ghora-a¬gir¢. Soma further away from radiation is diksoma

called atharva-a¬gir¢. Both are mixed, so single ¢pah is called fourth devaloka (10). First 3 loka

are are part of agni called agni-v¢yu-ravi.

(v) Soma is anna or food. Agni consumes soma, so it is ann¢da (eater). Calm soma (atharva)

is holding lokas divided into 3 and 7 that is male. Soma taking part in creation is female. Its

tendency is towards calm state ºam. In micro-consciousness, they are two birds-¢tm¢ is

detached (male), J¤va is involved in action (female) (11). They are Adam-Eve of Bible (Gen-

esis, chapter1).

3. World Tree-World has 5 parvas or levels (12) which has given rise to 5 mah¢bh¦ta, 5

tanm¢tr¢, 5 pr¢´a etc. All the structures are called viºva which have 3 qualities-completeness

(almost) whith boundary, and inner link which causes closed system (13).

(1) First level-For man, limit of world (ko°i ) is earth, whose diameter is about 107 times the

size of man. So, 107 is ko°i of man’s world, i.e. Bh¦-ma´²ala (earth sphere).

-2-

(2) Second level-Extension of earth’s field contains moon orbit. This is Chandra or Soma

ma´²ala (14).

(3) Saura-ma´²ala is limit of world for earth. Bh¦mi (earth, creative base) of solar system is

defined to be sphere around sun with diameter 1 lakh times sun diameter or 1 crore time

earth’s. For that world, sun diameter is1 yojana, so bh¦mi of solar system has been called 1

lakh yojana fom sun (15). Influence of sun is perceptible in 100 times bigger sphere called dyu

(sky) of sun.

(4) Parame¾°h¤ ma´²ala is spherical system of galazy. This is the largest egg (a´²a) in the

world or Brahma, so it is Brahm¢´²a. This is the extent to which sun’s rays can reach , i.e.

parama-pada (extreme step) of Vi¾´u (16). This is 107 time saura ma´²ala, i.e. ko°i (limit, 107)

for that. Its dense disc is called ¢k¢ºa-gang¢ (=river of sky). Its corona has mainly nutrinos

and is creative field of this mah¢-Vi¾´u, called Goloka about 10 times large than galactic

sphere. Since it does creation, it has been called K¦rma (=we do), Animal of that shape is also

called k¦rma (tortoise).

(5) Sv¢yambh¦va ma´²ala (self created) is the whole world. This is infinite, but it can be

taken as 107 times parame¾°h¤ in the sequence. The interacting world taking part in creation

is tapah-loka with radius of 432 x 107 light years, equal to day of Brahm¢. Visible world is

10th part of great Puru¾a (man) called Svayambh¦ (17).

These 5 levels are successive images starting from Svayambh¦ (12). Chain of creation is

inter-linked like a tree whose source or root is called upwards (18). In this inverted world tree,

Svayambh¦ is Brahm¢ (12), Parame¾°h¤ is Vi¾´u (16), solar system is Indra, moon sphere is

Soma and earth is Agni (19). All these worlds are first steps of concentration in their own field,

so they are called agni -5 parva are5 agni -earth being the end product is Agni proper. Last

3 agni -sun, moon, fire (earth) are inter-mingled or n¢chiketa (chiketa =distinct or separate).

They are called 3 eyes of ¹iva (20). World levels are named by first 5 letters of M¢heºvara

s¦tra, svara letters indicate levels of sky (svar). Corresponding internal letters (antahstha)

name image of the world in human beings (21). Each image is in direct and continuous link with

the source world (22) and that is source of tantra action and mantra powers. Root image are

seed (b¤ja) letters of human chakras, other letters are petals.

For correspondance of man and world levels-chart of world tree is given on next 3 pages.

It gives cosmic and human trees only, not the physical tree. In letter form, devan¢gar¤ script

is link between man and world. In space, earth is measuring rod (23) and the measurement is

exponential. Within earth, there are 3 layers called aharga´a, starting from center. 4th aharga´a

is sphere of double the earth radius, 5th is 4 times and next are doubling at each step. Solar

system dyu extends upto 33 aharga´a. Each zone of dyu has a deva as its pr¢´a (average

energy level). 33 consonants are arrangement (nagara) of these devas in symbol form (24). So,

it is devan¢gar¤ script. Adding 16 vowels, 49 aharga´a is size of galaxy., each zone is called

a marut. Their scale is similar to deva but with center at galactic center, so they are brothers

of deva.

33 aharga´a are grouped into stoma (block) of six aharga´a outside earth surface of 3rd

aharga´a-- 9, 15, 21, 27, 33. Including middle aharga´a 17th, they are 6 zones or v¢k or

va¾a°k¢ra (25).

9th aharga´a= 26 r = 64 radius of earth, where r=radius of earth. Moon is at 61r distance.

15th aharga´a = 212 r = upto 62% distance towards venus orbit. This is Bh¦-var¢ha, 100

yojana from sun (yojana=diameter of sun). On its body of 10 yojanas width lies the earth

(V¢yu pur¢´a 6/12)

17th aharga´a=214 r . At 16.4 aharga´a, sun lies which is Praj¢pati or creator, so 17 is

called Praj¢pati. It is 15th from earth’s surface, so earth day and kalpa are divided into 15.

Distance of sun compared to earth is same as distance of Tapah loka from galaxy (as earth)-

in same ratio of 15 aharga´as.

21st aharga´a =218 r. This sphere just crosses saturn orbit called ratha (25) of sun. So, it is

called rathantara-s¢ma. Upto this region, sun rays, sustain life, so it is center of N¢chiketa

svarga, extending 4 aharga´a on each side-17th (sun) to 25th.

27th aharga´a -This is 24th aharaga´a from earth’s surface. 24 is g¢yatr¤, for sun it is

s¢vitr¤ or Maitreya ma´²ala or bh¦mi. Earth is g¢yatr¤ as it is 224 =107 times size of man. 224

times again is bh¦mi (creative zone of earth =s¢vitr¤). Largest earth, galaxy is again 224 times,

called sarasvat¤. Largest field is always the same, so it is sanyat¤.

33rd aharga´a is dyu of solar system. Till that light of sun is more than average of galaxy.

Letters on petals of human body correspond to structure of world (26)-

M¦l¢dh¢ra-4 letters-4 aharga´a includes atmosphere of earth. This chakra is earth element.

Sv¢dhi¾°h¢na-6 letter-Moon is 6 aharga´a from earth (9th). (4+6) =10 aharga´a zone in-

cludes orbit of moon with water element.

Ma´ip¦ra-10 letters-Total of 20 letters is ratha of sun. 21st crosses it. So, this is zone of

sun or fire.

An¢hata-12 letters-Total of 32 letters between bh¦ and dyu (33) of sun. This is centre of

dyu, so it is air element. At this distance, sun is like a lamp (27).

Viºuddhi-16 letters-48 letters-Just within galaxy-sky element.

¡j®¢-2 letters-Outer zone of galaxy-mana-creative field of galaxy starts here. Actually, it

is 10 times size of galaxy, i.e. 3 aharga´a more, called kºetraj®a. So, 3 joint letters are added

at end of 49 letters of devan¢gar¤-kºa, tra, j®a.

4. Ten Dimensios-5 mah¢bh¦ta of s¢nkhya have 5 tanm¢tr¢ (5 basic units of measure

in physics), combination 5 x5 (prapa®cha) gives 25 elements of s¢nkhya.This describes 5

dimensional mechanical space which has distinct forms. Parallel to it, there are 5 indistinct

dimensions, making a total of 10 dimensions. This separation of 5+5 dimensions may be

formed as (i) metric-local, (ii) quantum-field, (iii) digital-analogue, etc.

10 dimensions have come from 3 dimensional space (¢k¢ºa) due to 3 fold action of Vi¾´u-

3 dimensions of measure (pada) of boundary of forms, 3 dimensions of field of influence

(vikrama) (28). One undisturbed element is rasa, the 10th dimension.

The ten dimensions may be termed as (28)-

0-Zero volume element, called chit (point).

1-Line element, measure and ratio, dy/dx etc.

2-Area element, boundary surface, ºarman (charma=skin), p¨¾°ha (surface, face).

3-Volume, ¢yu or ¢yatana, ghana (cube).

4-Matter element caused by expansion of universe, 4 headed Brahm¢ (B¨mh=to grow)

5-Time element-cyclic changes give janya k¢la or measured time, irreversiblr change causes

death or nitya k¢la. Both are 5 headed mah¢-k¢la ¹iva.

-7-

6-Chetan¢ is agency causing chayana (organization). Mechanical world left to itself will

dis-integrate due to entropy. This element is divided into 5 forms. First is intelligence, memory,

perception due to which various forms are re-duplicated. This is 6 headed Skanda-incarna-

tion of Vi¾´u. Skanna means to fall, creating replica models called sarva-huta yaj®a, i.e. all

(sarva) merge to combine the complete or its replica. This form of creator is V¨¾¢-kapi, who

drinks (piba=pi) the ka (spread matter called water) and rains (var¾¢) the forms. Thus the

animal monkey having tendency to copy man (nara) is called kapi (copy) or v¢nara.

7- §¾i (string) is the force line between two bodies. This is of 7 types for 7 lokas. For 4

higher spheres or 4 measured lower levels-4 measured forces exist in physics. Other 3 are

for 3 intermediate (antarikºa) higher lokas or 3 lower lokas which are not measurable. They

may be termed as ¢ditya of 3 antarikºa-Aryam¢, Varu´a, Mitra. Or 3 properties of related-

ness, anti-symmetry and symmetry.

8-N¢ga-This is V¨tra, ahi, or gaja-each indicating number 8. This is curling force creating

boundary.

9-Randhra or nanda mean number 9. This is difference inlevels across aboundary. Due to

difference, dissipation or death occurs which leads to new forms. Randhra means hole or

deficit. Nanda is gradation in levels-in govt, 9th from below is nanda, 10th is king.

10-Rasa or ¢nanda. This is scalar field present everywhere.

Implications of 10 dimensions-

(1) 5 spheres higher than man upto Svayambh¦ are successively 107 times higher. 7 viºvas

smaller than man are successively (29) smaller by 105. Thus, there is a cross symmetry in

number of levels and ratios in powers of 10 in each direction.

(2) For 11 rudra, each world is broken up (rudra=which breaks, weeps) in 1011 particle

world. Thus, universe has 1011 galaxies, our galaxy has 1011 stars and human brain has 1011

nurons. So, 1011 is called kharva (powder, particle form). Countable form is Ga´eºa

(ga´an¢=counting), he is called kharva.

(3) Branches of veda are based on 10 dimensions. §k has 10 forms +10 vacant spaces+1

formless=21 branches. Yajur has 10 forms x 10 types of change + 1 unchanging = 101

branches. S¢ma has 10 forms x 10 changes x 10 effects = 1000 branches. S¢ma is 1000 times

the body (30) which is 13 in aharga´a scale (10 outer and 3 inner) , 210=1000. So, s¢ma-veda

in word form has 13 branches.

(4) For 13 branches of s¢ma in v¢k (aharga´a) form, counting one formless Brahma, there

are 14 types of bhuvana or bh¦ta sarga (living forms) as per s¢nkhya. Viºva indicates number

13 in astronomy.

Mah¢vidy¢- Due to 10 dimensional nature of world, there are 10 mah¢vidy¢. Pur¢´a tells

a story that ¹iva wanted to move in different directions causing his 5 heads. For each direc-

tion, two forms of Durg¢ obstructed him from both sides creating 10 mah¢vidy¢. Thus, the

mah¢vidy¢s, are (31) in two groups of 5 each-one group is positive, the other obstructs.

Positive Negative

1. T¢r¢ K¢l¤

2. Tripur¢ Bhairav¤

3. Kamal¢ Dh¦m¢vat¤

4. Bhuvaneºvar¤ Chhinnamast¢

5. M¢tang¤ Bagal¢mukh¤ -8-

The five pairs are-1. T¢r¢ is white, bright. K¢l¤ is black, dark.

2. Tripur¢ has two forms-Sundar¤ (mild) form is Tripur¢ itself, terrible form is Tripura-bhairav¤

or Bhairav¤.

3. Kamal¢ Dh¦m¢vat¤

(i) Husband is Sad¢ºiva Vi¾´u. Widow.

(ii) Steady wealth. Flickering, wicked.

(iii) Young. Old.

(iv) Golden, beautiful. Smoky, matted hair, ugly.

(vi) Health, wealth. Dicease, famine.

(vii) Rohi´¤ star (rising) Jye¾°h¢ star (declining)

(viii) Gods-Indra, Lakºm¤, Kubera. Asura-Varu´a, alakºm¤, Yama.

4. Bhuvaneºvar¤ creates bhuvana (living and non-living beings), Chhinnamast¢ cuts them.

5. M¢tang¤ gives speech out of mouth, Bagal¢mukh¤ is valg¢ (obstruction) to mouth (mukha).

Ten mah¢vidy¢ are parallel to 10 dimensions-

1. T¢r¢-Point T¢r¢ gives a line of direction.

2. Bhairav¤ -Terrible face or surface of 2 dimensions.

3. Tripur¢ -3 dimensional space.

4. Bhuvaneºvar¤ -Creator of bhuvanas, complementary to Brahm¢.

5. K¢l¤ - Stops k¢la. K¢la is felt by change. When all change is dissolved, time also stops.

6. Kamal¢ is wife of Vi¾´u-6th dimension.

7. Bagal¢mukh¤-Valg¢, ¨¾i-both are strings; one stops, the other links.

8. M¢tang¤-It means gaja (elephant). While V¨tra bounds in a limit, M¢tang¤ is difficult to

restrict (v¢ra´a=to stop, elephant).

9. Chhinnamast¢-Chhinna i.e. cutting creats randhra (hole).

10. Dh¦m¢vat¤ -10th dimension is all pervading and so obscure.

5. Outer and inner worlds-

Corresponding to world structures, forms of 10 mah¢vidy¢ are-

1. K¢l¤ -Parame¾°h¤ particles are embedded in Svayambh¦ floating freely.

2. T¢r¢ -Star (t¢r¢) particles in galaxy (parame¾°h¤).

3. Tripur¢ (½o²aº¤ = of 16 organs)-It is yaj®a or sustenance of life with suns energy. creating

16 kal¢ (¾o²aº¤ ) of puru¾a.

4. Bhuvaneºvar¤ - Krandas¤ and rodas¤ trilok¤s with sun in middle.

5. Chhinnamast¢ -Life energy radiated from sun.

6. Bhairav¤ -Energy consumed in creation.

7. Dh¦m¢vat¤ - Unused energy.

8. Bagal¢mukh¤ - Obstruction by earth.

9. M¢tang¤ -Dark side of earth, opposit to sun.

10. Kamal¢ - Creation on earth.

Within chakras of human body, the mah¢vidy¢s are-

1. K¢l¤-This is ku´²alin¤ sleeping in m¦l¢dh¢ra.

2. T¢r¢-Second chakra sv¢dhi¾°h¢na is ocean containing moon and stars. That is zone of

R¢kin¤ and center of paºyant¤ v¢k, so it is T¢r¢. Mantra of R¢kin¤ is ‘ram’ (as per saundarya-

lahar¤, it is ma´ip¦ra (21) with b¤ja ‘ram’ ). In word form R¢ma is t¢raka mantra (t¢r¢).

-9-

3. Tripur¢-Sundar¤ resides in sahasr¢ra at crown of head. Here, Dev¤ roams(21) like moon of

16 kal¢. This is surrounded by sudh¢-sindhu, i.e. ocean of nectar.

4. Bhuvaneºvar¤ - Seed mantra is ‘Hr¤m’ meaning heart. As per Dev¤-bh¢gavata pur¢´a (9/

38, summary in Saundarya lahar¤, 8), it sits on seat of Chint¢ma´i (wish jewel) under kalpa-

v¨kºa (wish tree). Both are just below an¢hata in heart center.

5. Tripur¢-Bhairav¤ is intense fire. That is awakened stage of ku´²alin¤ in m¦l¢dh¢ra.

6. Chhinnamast¢ resides in ¢j®¢ chakra behind eyebrow-center. Here, 3 na²¤s (channels)-

I²¢, pingal¢ and su¾umn¢-meet. Pr¢´a energy of ku´²alin¤ flows through them.

7. Dh¦m¢vat¤ is m¦l¢dh¢ra region surrounding dh¦ma (smoke) linga.

8. Bagal¢mukh¤ resides in viºuddhi region in throat. By doing J¢landdhara bandha (blocking

of net of lungs or j¢la). Pr¢´¢y¢ma (breath control) is done. This does the function of

Bagal¢mukh¤ of controlling breath and speech.

9. M¢tang¤-Bagalamukh¤ is lock at lower end of viºuddhi. M¢tang¤ is at upper end through

which vaikhar¤ (expressed words) comes out. Thus, four forms of v¢k (sound, speech) are-

V¢k Meaning Mah¢vidy¢ Chakra

Par¢ =Point origin of thought Tripura bhairavi M¦l¢dh¢ra

Paºyant¤ =visible thought, perceived T ¢r¢ Sv¢dhi¾°h¢na

Madhyam¢ =Formation in words Kamal¢ Ma´ip¦ra

Vaikhar¤ =Words actually spoken or written M¢tang¤ Viºuddhi

10. Kamal¢-This is on kamala (lotus) of navel, i.e. ma´ip¦ra chakra. This arises upwards

from water of sv¢dhi¾°h¢na.

Three and ten forms-

Three dimensions of space develope into ten dimensional world. Ten ºaiva-¢gama arise

from combination of 3 of 5 ¹iva heads as per M¢lin¤-vijayottara tantra-Three heads of ¹iva

can be named a, b, c. Their combination gives 10 forms-

a, b, c, ab, bc, ca, ba, cb, ac, abc.

Similarly, 3 aspect of prak¨ti-j®¢na, bala, kriy¢-give rise to 10 incarnations of Vi¾´u.

Three gu´as of prak¨ti are- satva, rajas, tamas-mentioned as 3 clours-red, white, black-

called Lakºm¤, Sarasvat¤ and K¢l¤ -respectively. These correspond to 3 trilok¤s. One formless

Par¢-ºakti, makes 4 dh¢ma along with these three. Correspondingly, there are 4 dh¢mas in

human body and in India. For 52 letters on all petals, there are 52 ºakti-p¤°ha. Formless world

is Avyakta linga, Ekalinga, or Lingar¢ja. These dh¢mas create 3 fold linga. Final creation

forms are affected by 12 ¢ditya corresponding to 12 light (jyoti ) lingas. Thus, we have

Ekalinga at Chittor (Rajsthan) or Lingar¢ja at Bhubaneswar (Orissa), Trilinga (Telangana in

Andhra Pradesh) or Trigartta in Himachal Pradesh.

6. Vedic Description of Mah¢vidy¢s (36) -

1. K¢l¤ is described as r¢tri (night), all pervading.

2. T¢r¢ is called Gaur¤ v¢k, dividing salila (uniform water like spread) into 1, 2, 4, 8, 9 parts.

This is origin of v¢k (paºyant¤ ) holds marut (zones of galaxy).

3. Tripura sundar¤ is child of Gaur¤ v¢k or light ray.

4. Bhuvaneºvar¤ is Aditi which contains all dyu (sky), antarikºa (intermediate space), mother,

son, viºvedeva, pa®chajana.

5. Tripura Bhairav¤ is j¢ta-vedasa (agni).

6. Chhinnamast¢ as vajra-vairochan¤y¢ is power of Indra. As Indra is V¨ddhaºrav¢ (grown

reputation, old), his wife Indr¢´¤ is Chhinnamast¢ and is called old lady (Pur¢-n¢r¤ ).

7. Dh¦m¢vat¤ is called ni¨¨iti (lack of wealth).

8. Bagal¢mukh¤ is k¨ty¢ of the Atharva veda. B¨haddiva, son of Atharva´a invokes her as

destroyer of enemies.

9. M¢tang¤ is goddess of music and expressed knowledge. She has been worshipped as

sarasvat¤.

10. Kamal¢ is the physical wealth on earth grown by life force of the Sun (s¢vitr¤).

7. Ten aspects of mantra-

Any collection of letters is a mantra and it can be used for some effect. Its desired result is

viniyoga and there are 3 fold 3 aspects giving it power. Vedic mantra has ¾i, devat¢, chhanda.

T¢ntrika mantra has in addition b¤ja, ºakti and k¤laka. First is physical form, second is action.

Knowledge of action mechanism needs 4 more aspects given in Durg¢-saptaºat¤-Kavacha,

argal¢, tattva, and veda form.

1. §¾i-§¾i is link between two objects or elements. ¡dhidaivika form is force between two

bodies. Interlink in space is at speed of light, so stars as light sources are ¨¾i (¢dhijyoti¾a).

¡dhibhautika ¨¾i were human beings who understood the link meaning in 3 levels of world in

a particular context. Within human body, ¨¾i is nerve links, specially cross connections be-

tween two hemi-spheres of brain.

2. Devat¢-Various levels of energy density in space are according to aharga´a zones. Their

physical forms are location of planets and star groups in a particular direction which creates

desired effects. Within human body, devat¢ is part of body, brain or chakra (physically nerve

junctions) in su¾umn¢ which do the function of a devat¢. According to their function, human

model is made. For example, Indra is all pervading radiation in space, world emperor on

earth and human organs of sense or action.

3. Chhanda-Chhanda is measure of space as explained earlier. Each aharga´a (or linear scale

of sahasra) corresponds to a letter of alphabet. Limited group of letters is chhanda in word

form. Physical form is partition of space due to vibration waves of sound, light etc. and

related harmony.

4. Viniyoga (purpose)-This decides the above three. Knowledge and capability of human ¨¾i

and the nature of devat¢ selects the viniyoga. Thought is expressed in small groups of letters

(chhanda) if it is simple. Complex thoughts need bigger chhanda.

5. Kavacha- This is by 9 Durg¢ correspondingto 9 randhra (holes).As a dimension, it is

-11-

deficiency compared to surrounding, kavacha prevents destruction of that aspect. Physically,

they are openings in physical boundary of pura (structure). In a town (pura), it is the gates of

a fort. Fort is of nine types including various types of obstructions like hill, wall, water, fire.

Protection at each opening is a kavacha.

6. Argal¢-Argal¢ is door or valve which regulates the exchange of matter, energy across the

pura boundary. Physically, it means a door, the input is based on our desire demand.

7. K¤laka (=key+lock)-This is mechanism to close and open door. This is physical obstruc-

tion (lock) to many achievements. Knowledge of procedures removes the obstruction. Pre-

ceptor ¹iva as source of perception is k¤laka.

8. Tattva -Physical components of pura and its surroundings and their nature.

9. B¤ja - Reason of a particular action or result.

10. ¹akti -Source of energy, capability to receive energy and to use it.

11. Veda-Veda is structure of world form, motion and field of influence of each structure.

Yaj®a is process of dynamic change or creation.

8. Six fold division-Six fold division of darºana (philosophy) and alphabet (darºa-v¢k)

is due to 5 parva and one continuous link. Or, it is due to 6 lokas created from (38) one

formless satya loka. 5 dimensions give complete picture of mechanical world, other complete

views are upto 10 dimensions. So, alphabets for 5 to 10 dimensions have number of letters as

52, 62, 72, 82, (8+9)2, 103 to104. These are explained in separate articles. Tantra division is

due to 6 views-

1. ¹aiva- Wew see world in a puru¾a form or perceive the structure of various pura levels.

Pura is only one fourth of the world. This is perception based.

2. ¹akti -This is world in ¹r¤ (source=º¤r¾a or ºr¤ =female) form, i.e. source field of creation.

By this, we understand action of 3 gu´as in form of K¢l¤, Lakºm¤ and Sarasvat¤ and further

transforms. The fourth part, par¢-ºakti is unknown. This is action based as explained in

meaning of mah¢vidy¢.

3. Saura-The sun is the source of energy, creation of energy and its use are saura tantra.

Motor car is a physical example.

4. Vai¾´ava-This is chayana or action of chetan¢ in desired order. Physically, this is organi-

zation of society, family with various institutes, practices. This is called chayana yaj®a. Due

to chayana of agni (matter blocks) and further chayana of blocks, various structures are

formed.

5. G¢´patya-Managementof system as collections of individual units which are countable

(ga´an¢ =to count). Physically, it is the head of ga´atantra (democracy). Mah¢-ga´apati is

galaxy with 1011 (kharva) stars as its particles. Ucchhist Ga´apati is visible world with kharva

galaxies out of which the world has been formed (ucchi¾°a =remaining source material, left

over food). Human image is brain with kharva nurons.

6. Avaidika- The vedas assume inter-link of whole universe finally based on a single supreme

element. Non-vaidika tantras are not concerned with the whole world as a conscious being,

they manage the work with smaller levels or local surroundings. They follow a particular

human originator. *********

(3) Yuga of 12,000 divya years is given in all pur¢´as and astronommyy texts. B¤ja correction

in cycle of 12,000 years is described by Brahmagupta and Bh¢skara-II. Bh¢skara has men-

tioned ¢gama (old tradition) as its source. Increase or decrease of corrections is in periods of

6,000 years equal to a quadrant of 24,000 year yuga. In astronomy, Divya year means 360

solar years. But in history, V¢yu pur¢´a takes divya year as solar year compared to 12 lunar

revolutions (sidereal in 27.3 days each) as m¢nu¾a (human) year. Sun is source of light and

moon controls mind, so their year measures are divya (bright) and human. In these measures,

sapta¾i year is stated of 2700 divya years (V¢yu 99/419) or of 3030 m¢nu¾a years (V¢yu 57/

17, Brahm¢´²a 1/2/29/16).

amounts to 3600 rotation in 24,000 years.

(4) Glaciation is due to two astronomical effects-When earth’s north pole is inclined away

from sun, this is cold. When this is combined with apogee, i.e. farthest position in orbit,

glaciation sets in northern hemisphere having major land mass. Rotation of earth’s axis is in

26,000 years in negative direction. Apogee rotation is in 1,00,000 years in positive direc-

tion. Net rotation period T in negative direction is given by 1/T=1/26000+1/100000, or T =

21,600 years. This speed of ayana motion is 1’ minute per year taken by Munj¢la in his

Laghu-m¢nasa, followed by Bh¢skara-II.

(5) Sv¢yambhuva Manu was 26,000 years before start of Kali as per note (2). Vaivasvata

Manu was 43 yugas after him. Here, 1 yuga =1 divya yuga of 360 years.

(17) Day of Brahm¢ is kalpa of 432 crore years. Thus, sphere of that radius in light years is

tapah loka of Brahm¢. This is 264 earth size, i.e. 64 ahar units from earth (63.5 to be exact),

so Br¢hm¤ script has 63 or 64 letters as per P¢´ini ºikº¢. Puru¾a is 10 times bh¦mi (boundary

of visible Uninverse).264 earth size=12 bilion light years, modern estimate 8 to 18 bilion LY.

(18) In reply to question in §k (10/81/14), Taittir¤ya Br¢hma´a (2/8/9/6) tells that Brahma

is that tree and forest from whose cuttings the world, earth, sky were formed-

well as cerebral field in each human mind. Corresponding part of cosmic mind (mana) is

praj®¢na-¢tm¢. Another role is that as a tranquil zone, moon region is approximation of

maharloka and its image in man is mah¢na-¢tm¢-

(a) Praj®¢na ¹raddh¢ Moon

Mah¢na Moon-orbit

Two ¢tm¢ in mind

(b) Su¾umn¢ Brahma-randhra Sun-rays

Vij®¢na ¡j®¢ Sahasr¢ra Sun

¡tm¢ in heart Behind eyebrow Crown of head

Two a´u-patha (lanes) Mah¢patha (highway)

Light ray takes 8 minutes from sun to earth at speed of 3 lakh Kms/second. So, vij®¢na-¢tm¢

has 3 times to and fro contact with sun in 1 muh¦rtta (48 minutes).

(c) Yaj®a-¢tm¢ §ta-s¦tra Parame¾°h¤

(d) Avyakta-¢tm¢ Satya-s¦tra Svayambh¦

These four are in continuous link with different levels of world. After death of physical

body, vij®¢na-¢tm¢ goes to sun at speed of light. (c) and (d) merge with source immediately.

Praj®¢na-¢tm¢ reaches moon in 12 human months (monthly ºr¢ddha offer), then moves around

sun with earth annually (annual ºr¢ddha). This has links uto 7 generations. Its mah¢na-¢tm¢

part crosses solar system and goes to ¢k¢ºa-gang¢. North limit of solar motion is tropic of

cancer, at its hottest place Gaya, offer to mah¢na is made. For details, see-¹r¢ddha-Vij®¢na,

vol. 4 by Pt. Motilal Sharma (Rajsthan Patrika, Jaipur). Its english summary with scientific

notes by Arun Kumar Upadhyay is under peparation.

Tantr¢loka describes motion of Praj®¢na up and down suºumn¢ around Vij®¢na ¢tm¢ (sun) at

heart center. This is basis of time perception of various cosmic cycles (¡hnika 6 and 7).
