Thinking Hearts (Raguram Gopalan)([email protected])

Thoughts from Thinking Hearts:

�“Curious by nature, in a life so uncertainThirsty for the truth, which is so certainI sought for some water in our Vedas the fountainThough I can�’t understand fully what it containsI am amazed & speechless with what I could ascertainThis is just a speck of dust from that golden mountainThankful to my family for helping me in what I could attainGrateful for the wisdom and works from all the chieftainsWish I repay every atom of it through my gratuitous tearstains�”

This effort is to share what I read, understood and enjoyed about the scientific aspects inancient India which are codified in our language, arts and in 1000s of temples. The quotes andexamples are predominantly in Tamil but I have tried to give the meaning which can enable areader to grasp the meaning and progress. Any shortcomings you notice are purely reflective ofmy abilities to understand and express. There was not even an iota of intention to hurt anysentiments or beliefs of others. A piece of my mind is available @http://ragsgopalan.blogspot.com

I initially thought that I shall reproduce a prayer from one of the books which I had read but atone fine moment I decided to capture my feelings in my own words. So I scribbled few lines inEnglish summing up my feelings as above, few lines for the Sage of Kanchi and a prayer in Tamilwith its meaning in English. You may understand this prayer better after you read this book.

1. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 1 INTRODUCTION

As a wise man said, �“Indians are the most ignorant about their rich past and scientific traditions.�”

�“Abheda Darsanam Gnanam*�”. Nothing defines what wisdom is better than these 3 words. Experienceof unity / oneness in all is wisdom. The roots of Indian wisdom are captured in these 3 words thateverything in this universe is the manifestation from a single source, and we can call it God orConsciousness. This naturally leads us to one of the mahavakya �“Pragyanam Brahma�” which means�“Consciousness is god�”. But for people who are stingier with words and wants these 2 concepts to beput in just one word, then it is called �“Advaita�”.

It is not very often that nature reveals itself its absolute oneness and the un manifestedinterconnections. You consider yourself fortunate when you come across such knowledge in howeversmall measure, even if it happens very rarely and even if you have an illusion that you have understoodsomething. It has been very overwhelming for me to come across some of the details I have beenreading and hearing and the dots I could connect �– some of which I had decided to write as a book.

If you are interested in knowing how scientific ancient Indian Sanatana Dharma is and how well we havecodified nature�’s secret in our languages, arts and temples and if you are interested in any of thefollowing questions then you may like this book. Most of the aspects stated here as scientific proof has areference to one or more of our scriptures and I would refer and quote them at various places.

Would you be surprised to know that the size, shape, color and characteristics of God�’s particleare very clearly documented in our scriptures at least 12000 years back? What the scientists atCERN are spending billions of $, is well documented and we will discuss the characteristics ofGod�’s particle in this book.

Would you want to know how Time = Space and more over time is nothing but the vibration ofspace? If I tell you that this was known us Indians at least 12000 years back and currentlyavailable in a written form would you believe?

When you throw a stone in water / pond the ripples that form take the shape of a circle (in 2D) /sphere (in 3D). Can you guess what the shape of the ripple would be if you throw the samestone in space?

What is the similarity between Poetry, classical music, Classical dance like Bharatanatyam,Sculpture and a building? Apart from the fact that we don�’t clearly understand any of them indepth what is the similarity? Would you be surprised if I say that all are essentially the same andin fact a well constructed building is nothing more than a frozen music and the relationshipbetween all the above confirms to a single grammar documented 12000 years + back ?

Would you be interested in knowing how E = mc2 an equation stated by our great Einstein hasbeen known to us for years and not just that but we know the root of this energy and how toengineer it with precise formulas? Would you be surprised that this is the basis our language?

What if I say that the age of the universe, every astronomical unit of the bodies, big bang theory,string theory, God�’s particle etc are all documented and they are all codified in our temples?

You would have heard about the golden ration but do you know the philosophical significanceof and how it is derived? Moreover would be interested in knowing the significance of keynumbers and ratio like 0, 1, 5, 8, 9 and ? What is I say that can be correlatedwith �“Iyengar Namam�”? Does it sound funny? What if there is a deep mathematical andphilosophical significance? And how are all these ratios related?

As a wise man said that �‘Mathematics is the language of the gods�”. What if this formula iscodified in our texts from which we understand the God�’s particle, its shape, characteristics andits manifestation?

What if I tell you that sound is a subset of light and sound merges with light at a point and that isat the root consciousness? Any non takers for this?

If you agree on the above then Sabda Brahman or the belief that sound is god merges withsomething higher, isn�’t this contradictory? Also why many religions did believed that �“Word isgod�”.Was it a mere belief or was there any scientific reason behind it?

What is the correlation between Carnatic music and a human being�’s height?

What if I say that the Mayan from South America and the Mayan from South India are one andthe same?

These are some of the questions which might get addressed in this book. I am going to quote a series ofreferences and books and links to understand and learn more about these topics and I would requestyou to utilize them if you are interested in these topics.

This may not only refer you to the experts but also can help you overcome any weakness I have inunderstanding and articulating some of these topics. Some of the topics may touch upon religiousbeliefs (mostly Hinduism) but if you read with an open mind you would notice the underlying sciencebehind it.

I would be happy if any of these blogs motivate and inspire you to explore the roots of our tradition andknowledge and give you an insatiable hunger for knowledge, wisdom to pursue the nature and itssecrets.

May the ancient Sanskrit quote �“May I meditate on the supreme truth �“Satyam Param deemahi�”,resonate within you as it does within me.

Happy reading!

PS:

Abheda Darshanam Gnanam, Dhyanam NirvishayamManam;Snaanam mano mala thyagam, Showchamindriya Nigraham", says the Upanishad.

The real Gnana is seeing all as one, real Dhyana is controlling the Manas from all temptations, the realsnana or Bathing is Cleansing of All Mindly impurities, not physical impurities alone and real Showcha orcleanliness is controlling the Indriyas, this controlling of Indriyas, emotions, weaknesses andtemptations.

I am also quoting parts of Kahlil Gibran here,

Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights.But your ears thirst for the sound of your heart's knowledge.You would know in words that which you have always known in thought.You would touch with your fingers the naked body of your dreams.And the treasure of your infinite depths would be revealed to your eyes.But let there be no scales to weigh your unknown treasure;And seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff or sounding line.For self is a sea boundless and measureless.Say not, "I have found the truth," but rather, "I have found a truth."

2. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 2 SOUND MERGES IN

LIGHT

What if I say that �“Sound is a subset of light�”. Scientifically you may agree that both are electromagnetic vibrations at different frequencies in the spectrum though one may not be the subset ofanother.

So, What if I say that every other frequency is the subset of light? I am sure many may disagree. Someof the religious pundits may claim that �“Sound is god�” which I am not disputing but �“light too is god�”and as we progress towards the primordial state sound merges into light.

Let me try to explain this with a simple exercise. Please sit in a place with a calm mind �– few deepbreaths may help.

Imagine that I am TALKING to you and avoid thinking that you are reading this blog. I am going to TELL the following 5 words and you are going to LISTEN to it. Please just observe

what happens within you.o CAT, BOAT, MOM, DEVIL, BEST FRIEND

The following are the fundamentals of perception as per Hindu scriptures:

Every word has a meaning (Let us ignore the so called meaningless words for the time being.). Every meaning invokes a form or shape within our mind.

o For example when I say �“MOM�” you associate this word with your mother and thepicture / image of your mother is perceived inside. You need to be little more observantto understand this. The fundamental principle is that

o �“Every word is first associated its meaning then the meaning is associated with aform. The form is associated with a Guna (Quality) and then the quality or Guna isassociated with its experience. What is stored inside is just the experience.

Let me TRY to explain the abstract concept of consciousness as below:

Consciousness / existence exist in 3 states (deeper explanation is 5 / 7 states but we willdiscuss the simpler alternative).

o Formless state called Experience / feeling / bhava. This is the super conscious state.o Gross state with form which has physical attributes. This is the conscious state.o In between state (Not formless and no form) called Guna state which has subtle

quality attributes. This is the Subconscious state. If this is difficult to comprehend foryou please imagine �“Egg�” which is in between the formless and state with form.Gotcha?

Let�’s look at an example. Rose is a flower. When someone tells you �“ROSE�” then the following happens:

The sound �“rose�’ associates with a flower usually. (I am ignoring it being a name of your girlfriend ). So here the word is associated with its meaning.

This flower is associated with red color and perhaps with thorns. Here the sound does not existanymore but only a form. Yo!, the sound has merged into light.

The third step is this form is associated with a quality which is fragrance of a rose. Forsomeone sensitive they can smell the rose when they think about it. How else could we salivateat the thought / smell of a favorite dish if this step does not exist?

Now the last step is, this quality invokes an experience and hence a feeling. This rose may beassociated with your inner self for love and hence the emotion of love surfaces. This is calledBhava / Rasa in Sanskrit.

If you are not clear about this then please do not move to the next part and think or discuss about it. Alittle contemplation would help you understand this 5 stage process of perception.�‘SOUND �– MEANING �– FORM �– QUALITY (GUNA) �– EXPERIENCE (FEELING / BHAVA)�’

Our ancient forefathers knew this science and interconnection. Let me now quote these Slokas as anexample from Bharatnatyam, which talks about this linkage.

Kanteenaalambayet geetam, Hasteenaardham Pradarsayet,Chakshurbhyaam darsayeet bhaavam, Paadaabhyam taalamaacharet.

According to Nandikeshara the dancer should sing with the mouth, express the meaning of the song withhand gestures, her eyes should express the emotions or bhava, the tala, the beat or rhythm should bedone with her feet. Further he goes on to say �–

'Yato hastas tato drushti, Yato drushitis tato manahaYato manahas tato bhavo, Yato bhavas tato Rasaha' 'Where the hand goes, there should follow the eyes, Where the eyes move, mind should follow it,Where the mind follow, Bhava or emotion is created, & lastly when Bhava is created the sentiment orRasa will arise.'

All the Mudras or gestures represent word when held at a particular position around the frame of thebody and when used in a particular way.

Alas we Indians have ignored this great science & art and its linkages and are like ignorant foolsfollowing the meaningless western tradition and dances!

3. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 3 �– VAAK ARTHAIMPORTANCE OF WORD

�‘SOUND �– MEANING �– FORM �– QUALITY (GUNA) �– EXPERIENCE (FEELING / BHAVA)�’

In the 5 stage process of perception, one important factor which I missed is the �“Self / EGO�” whichinterprets the Guna to an experience. For example when I say Dog, the �‘Self�’ interprets Dog to a loyalfriend or a bike chaser or a rabbies generator. Essentially what is the quality of dog mean to me? If youunderstand this process this explains the uniqueness between individuals or the root cause ofdifferences in a society.

I am also going to add but not going to focus on the fact that the inputs are never limited to sound andwhen see a picture the process of perception starts with step 3. Just to poke the individuals who think�“Sound / Word is the only god �– Sabda Brahman, please tell me when you see a picture and whenthere is no sound associated with it, where is God as Sabda Brahman in this situation?

Does that mean that the very important Hindu belief that the Sound �“Om is sabda Brahman or god�”does not hold any meaning? It certainly does and I shall share my thoughts on it �– continue reading.

What is the importance of Word?

The greatest of Indian poet �‘Kalidas�’ said

"Vaak artha viva samprakthov vaakartha prathipathaye Jagadha: pitharov vandhe parvathe parameswarow"

he compared Lord Shiva and Shakti like sound (Shakti) and meaning (Shiva). Both sound and meaningare inseparable. You would now understand the wisdom behind this sloka since there is no soundwithout a meaning. Also Sabda Brahman merges with the Artha Brahman and both are inseparable.Here Artha Brahman is the light and the meaning of the word. Remember we say that �‘Throw somelight�” when we don�’t understand something.

In Tamil (porul) means �“a thing�” and it also means �“meaning�”. We will see how (Paramporul) is the Lord Shiva as a God�’s particle and how he is referred to as the

meaning too. The same applies to Sanskrit where �“artha�” means wealth / things �– rememberArthasastra? And it also refers to �“meaning�” as in the above sloka. How rich these languages are?

And in Abhirami Andadi, bhattar sees devi as "Arthanareswara" and confirms us that the grace of devi will brings us both richness and mukthi. "Sollum porulum ena nadamadum"…

A word is made up of letters called Akshara in Sanskrit. The meaning of Akshara is that which cannot bebroken down further. ie. Word can be broken down to letters but it cannot be broken down further. Aletter has a form like �“A�” and has a sound associated with it. This means the light and sound are mergedin a letter. As per the principle stated above in the process of perception, the primordial state is onewhere light and sound is merged into each other.

If you don�’t dispute the philosophy that everything merges into god at the primordial state and at thisstate, sound and light are inseparable, and then you would agree that an Akshara is God / Brahman.Each letter has significance and meaning in Indian languages especially Tamil and Sanskrit. A word is acombination of Form (Light), Sound and meaning and these are first 3 aspects of perception whichtakes us from a gross state to a formless subtle un manifest state.

Hence the statement from New Testament �“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” reflects the same principle.

But as per Hindu scriptures Veda is the breath of god (not word of god) or the aural vibration ofconsciousness cannot take you to the state of moksha. Words don�’t take you to God, it can help you inthe process but has its limit, since the sound and meaning merges into something else as we movetowards more subtle space.

This is what my friend Kambar said in Kambaramayanam as �“

!!. This means that thesupreme truth who could not be found by Vedas came and solved the problem of an elephant, cansomeone dispute this?

Every word or Akshara has four states Para, Pashyanti, Madhyama and Vaikari. Vaikari is the fourthstate where the sound is audible to us. If I recite something mentally then the sound has 3 states onlyand these 4 states signify as to how a feeling (bhava) becomes thought and thought becomes form andthen a sound. Just note here that as per Frank outlaw, it�’s the thoughts which are primordial but as perour scriptures it is feeling or Bhava or deep rooted desire or also known as vasanas which drive yourthoughts. So Frank�’s quotes are half baked plagiarism.

In a work called Tarka Samgraha, we have classified 9 different physical attributes (substances /dhravyas) and 24 different qualities / GUNA in all. If you are interested reading more about this, pleaseread these blogs or the original work.

http://ragsgopalan.blogspot.com/2010/09/vedic perspective matter and its_14.html This is a 3 part series.http://ragsgopalan.blogspot.com/2008/11/part 1 perception art of seeing things.html This is a 2 partseries.

To summarize this topic:

Broadly consciousness exists in 3 states. The process of perception if understood well would throw a lot of secrets about nature. The 5 stage process of perception �“Sound �– meaning Form �– Guna �– Bhava�” is a simplistic way

of portraying this. Sound merges into light and light is worshipped as God in most of the religions and belief. We

can explore little more of this in the future sections. A word is a unique combination where Light, Sound and meaning merges and hence it is

considered as god. This word represents Arthenareeswara or yinyang or Star of David.

In the future sections let us explore as to what is the relationship between Maths and God and some ofthe critical numbers and its philosophical and scientific significance.

4. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 4 �– SCIENTIFICLANGUAGES �– TAMIL & SANSKRIT

One of the main reasons I believe as to why our wisdom has degraded so much in the last century is ourignorance and reluctance to learn our rich language. Our language offers richness not just in literarysense but is supremely scientific too. I am going to touch upon just 3 to 4 aspects of it which I knew andunderstand at a fundamental level and request you to learn your mother tongue well.

Many of my friends don�’t exhibit a sense of remorse when they say �‘I can understand Tamil but can�’tread or write it�”. I wanted to tell them how much in life do they miss in terms of knowledge andrichness. This is not just about Tamil but every major Indian language is rich in its own way. Since mymother tongue is Tamil, I am going to articulate some of the science in it.

Vigyan / Vigyanam ( ) means Science:

But most importantly for this series I wanted to take the word called Science as meant in Tamil andSanskrit. A word always can be broken down to its dhatus for its exact meaning in Tamil and Sanskrit.Some examples below:

Science in Tamil is Vigyanam and in Sanskrit is Vigyan. This is split as Vin and Gnanam / Gyan.Vin means space and Gyan means knowledge. Hence according to Indian system sciencemeans it is the nature / knowledge of the space. This has very deep significance since westernscience has not agreed the existence of space for a long time and their gross and materialisticapproach prevented them from seeing the most subtle component and its nature. We weremasters of it ages back. Most of the questions in Chapter 1 would be answered based on theknowledge of space �– Vigyan.

Universe is called as Brahmanda in Sanskrit. Brahma + Anda which literally means a big egg. Thismeans we knew that the galaxy is elliptical in shape ages back and it required hubble telescopein 1950 to tell us that.

Bhoogol means Earth (Study of) / Geography �– This Splits as Bhoo +Gol. Bhoo means Earth andGol means round. We did not throw stones at a scientist as late as 17th century when he saidthat earth is round and not flat. We would have laughed our heart out and ignored him.

Be it the age of the universe, all of the astronomical measurements, health, spirituality etc, many of usneed a white skin with blue eyes to tell us that what we knew was right and they have certified it. Whenwe decide to come out of this mentality then the process of reclaiming our rich heritage shall start.

Origin of Universe and linkage with Tamil:

The initial evolutionary process for the universe consisted of 5 stages states Aintiram. You can imaginethat these are the movements of particles during the Big bang. They are , ,

, , .

Withdrawl (Amizhdal) Imizhdal (Overflowing) Kumizhdal (clustering round in an order) Umizhdal (Emitting) Tamizhdal (resulting into a well defined form)

These are the first stages from the Big bang till a well defined shape is formed. Now the last level iscalled Tamizhdal which results in a well defined form. This state has emanated from the Pranava andnot been created by some one. Hence a language as rich with the sweetness of inherent order,originating from the luminosity of the original particle is called Tamil. Tamil is word based on the finalresultant state called Tamizhdal ( ).

I shall address the other 2 interesting aspects that include a Chicken and Egg analogy for Energy andmatter conundrum in the next blog.

5. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 5 �– ENERGY & MATTER

CONUNDRUM

Energy and Matter concept in formation of letters:

The concept of Energy and matter is not new to us and does not start with Einstein�’s days of E=mc2. Letus look at how our letters are formed from Aksharas then people would know that the concept ofEnergy and Matter is old as our language. In Tamil there are two kinds of Aksharas - Uyir Ezhuthu (Life / Energy letters �– 12 letters) and - Mei Ezhuthu (Body / Matter

letters �– 18 letters). Both put together it is 30 letter pack for Tamil as alphabets. Now both have tocombine to give letters called �“body with life�” which are called uyir mei Ezhuthu. This combines to form

18*12 which is 216 letters as Uyir Mei Ezhuthu. For example + = in Tamil and + = in

Sanskrit.

So the formation of letters itself is a science where Matter (Body) combines with Energy (Life) andthen the living organisms (Body �– life letters) are formed.

I want to ask you a Chicken & Egg question here which is very relevant to today�’s scientists. Did theenergy come first or is it the matter that came first? Modern science is still scratching its head. I cananswer this question in 2 ways, first is obviously using language as a science.

In the above example + = , is the body and is life. So as per our language sciences

be it Tamil or Sanskrit the matter is formed first and then the life came and attached to it. This isvery well documented in Tamil scriptures as follows:

- . This is over 2500 years old which

states that life comes and joins a body in language and this is nature.

– . This is over 12000+ years old whichstates that same thing and adds that body is like light and life is like sound and they merge and this issiva�’s nature. This certainly means that both Body and life are not formed at the same �– as popularlybelieved. Life comes and joins the body to give a living being �– in the above case the letters are theliving beings.

The second reference I am going to take for the same concept is our Yogic / Siddha / Ayurvedic scienceas to how fetus is formed in mother�’s womb. As per our (Siddha) belief the conception of a child in amother�’s womb happens as follows:

The first organ that is formed for the fetus is the cells of the Eyes (Single Eye). This eye cellstarts vibrating due to its heat and multiplies as 2 eyes and then as the whole body. This is thevibration seen in the initial days of the fetus and not the heart beat. As per modern medicalscience the heart takes shape only by the end of the 8th week and not before. I am requestingsomeone to validate this.

Life comes to this body at the 3rd month of conception only. This is the belief as per Ayurvedicand Siddha science.

Instances of the third month natural abortions are very high than the later months based on theabove reasons. This means that the life is not destined for that matter / life force is notsufficient enough.

How many of you know that the size of eyes never change as you grow and stays the samefrom the time we were born, while all other organs undergo growth?

Also the eyes hold a very important significance in the spiritual science which I shall addresslater. The eyes are the seat of Sun god and are characterized by heat and light.

It is through the heat in the eyes the subtle became a gross living being in this world and if the livingbeing wants to merge back with the subtle �– which is the process of Samadhi then the living beingsshould use their eyes, increase the heat in the eyes and start the devolution process. This is a supremesecret kept by the sages even in today�’s world. You may want to ask any spiritual school as to why theyrecommend meditation with eyes fully or half open instead of closed eyes? Ask yourselves why thefree masons and other secret societies use eye as one of their symbols?We shall address this later.

Now you want to answer the Chicken and Egg analogy to the Energy and Matter conundrum based onthe above 2 thoughts, we can conclude it is the matter which came first. We shall try to explain thisbased on Space sciences a little later.

Masculine and Feminine names based on ending letters:

I am also going to give you as to how Indians distinguished masculine from feminine names. KanchiMaha periyava, the Sage of Kachi had explained this beautifully in his �“Arul Vakku�”. I am giving a gist ofit here just to conclude this:

Masculine names: All the names shall end with the phonetic a, im, in , ir, aha etc. Examples areRam, Shyam, Raman, Kannan, Kishan, Vivek, Adam. So phonetically names like Catherine is amasculine name because it ends with �“in�” phonetically.

Feminine names: All names ending with phonetics aa, e, I, oo etc. Examples are Radha, Ramya,Savithri, Gayathri, Uma, Rosy, Isabella etc. Same way phonetically Joshua is a feminine name.

Vishnu and Lalitha sahasranamam follows this rule and hence one invokes Shakthi as lalitha and theother invokes Purusha as Vishnu.

Just to conclude this part, I think we looked at how science is an integral part of our language formationand for us science has always been about the knowledge and nature of the space and we believed thatspace manifested itself as the physical world. So in the next few parts we shall look at how thismanifestation has happened and other interesting aspects.

I would conclude this part with a earnest request that please encourage your kids to learn theirmother tongue �– to read and write and you would not have done anything better than this to advancetheir spiritual growth and adding richness to their life.

6. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 6 �– THE UNFOLDING SELFUNIVERSE HAS EVOLVED AND WAS NOT CREATED

As per many scriptures in Hinduism this universe has evolved from itself and not created by someone. Ifyou want to quickly ask as me as to what Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra mean �– I would attribute them todifferent process heads in this evolution. They are all different aspects of the same consciousness basedon their state of being in the process of evolution / devolution. This is my understanding but let us avoidthis discussion here.

Here I am indebted and thankful to the nobel soul Late. Dr. Ganapathi Stapathi,(http://www.vastuved.com/life.htm) who not only unraveled the Vaastu science �– the science of Space andtime but also brought to light 2 important books which were over 12000+ years old written in Tamil byMahamuni Maayan.

Mamuni Maayan is believed to be the same person who is popularly known in South America asMayan and the 2012 phenomenon based on Mayan calendar. Dr. Ganapathi has established proofs thatthe pyramids in Middle East, the temple architecture in India and the structures in Mexico andGuatemala confirm to a single Science and Mathematics seen in all these works.

At the end of the blog I am listing few books which helped me understand this topic but most of thebooks (Aintiram and Pranava Veda) are out of print now and if you are lucky, you would get some ofthem. Now let us understand briefly how this evolution process has come about. According to Mayans�’Aintiram:

The free space is the unified field of energy and matter and source of all forms that we see inmaterial world. That is why we were defined science as Vingyanam. This space consists of veryminute particle called Vinporul, nunporul, Sittrambalam, Paramanu, Oliporul, Microbode( , , , , ) and inmany names. You can pick what you like. I am going to use Paramaanu in the rest of the blog.

The whole process of evolution is a 5 stage process. (Keep noting the importance of 5 and at thebackground remember Shiva is represented by Panchakshara mantra (Na~Ma~Si~Va~ya).

So what is the five stage process?o This space is called as Moolam (Source).o This Moolam starts vibrating and this vibration of the space is called Kalam (Absolute

Time and not physical time. We will refer this as time only).o This Kalam (time) vibrates to a mathematical resonance called Seelam (Rhythm).o This Seelam as it resonates creates Kolam (Shapes �– Circles, cubes etc).o This Kolam becomes our visible Universe which is called Gnalam.

So it is MOOLAM (Source) �– KALAM (TIME) �– SEELAM (RHYTHM) �– KOLAM (SHAPE) �– GNALAM(UNIVERSE). - - - – , these are 5 stages ofevolution.

This means that the Space itself becomes spatial forms and time is the instrument that creates, sustainsand destroys. Lord Siva in Tamil is also called as Kalan ( ) as to who controls time since Kalam

is time.

To put it differently, un manifest state when pulsates becomes absolute time and this is the creativeenergy. The process of pulsation confirms to a mathematical order and we will see this order in detaillater. You may now understand the phrase that �“Time creates, sustains and destroys�”. Since if there isno pulsation then nothing happens.

For those who need quote from a foreigner to convince themselves of this can be referred to theBertrand Russel�’s quote �“What we perceive as qualities of matter are differences in periodicity�”.

I shall quote some from the oldest literatures for reference below: , , �… Maha muni Mayan from Aintiram

... Time splits as Maths in proportion it pulsates.Vyasa says in Adi parva chapter 1, shloka 249, says the same thing that Time Creates, sustains anddestroys everything.

kalah srijati bhutani kalah sanharati prajahsanharantah prajah kalam kalah shamyate punah!!

The same is quoted as �“Vastur eva Vaastu�” which means the un manifest Paramaanu which is calledVastu (with Single a) becomes Vaastu (gross form �– with two aa). You can relate this Vaastu as thebuilding science which is grossly misused and misrepresented and commercialized in today�’s TVprograms. We will address the science in it later.

I shall leave this part with this thought, the space is considered as Nataraja (Shiva) �– subtle componentand Ranganatha is considered as the Earth component. So Shiva and Vishnu are two aspects of thesame seed. We will see more scientific proof of this later.

"Shivasya hridayam vishnur, Vishnoscha hridayam shivah:" and "Shivaya Vishnu rupaya Vishnave Shiva rupine" Vishnu is the heart of Shiva and likewise Shiva is the heart of Vishnu and they both are the representation of each other.

Now if you are clear about the five stage process of evolution we can delve into each and every aspectof this in little more detail that would answer everything.

7. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 7 �– THE CHIDAMBARA

RAGASYAM & THE GOD�’S PARTICLE

There were 2 questions I had confronted myself when I was reading these passages. They are:

Why did the unmanifest space energy started pulsating and became absolute time? What did the unmanifest space energy contain? Was it a point of singularity as the modern

scientists wanted us to believe? If so then how much mass was concentrated in that point whichis obviously very difficult to believe.

The answer to the first question is here �“The self unfolds itself for its self �– Bhagavad Gita�”. There is noconvincing answer to the rational mind as to what the reason that the consciousness which was passivedecided to become dynamic and started pulsating. So let�’s leave this for the time being.

But the second question is answered very comprehensively. But before we get into the details of what itis, I want you to check Figure 1. This gives the overall picture of evolution and the five stage process. Ialso want you to recollect the �“EGG�” state which is called as the GUNA state where in the form andsound manifests. They say that this pulsation started with OM. This OM as popularly believed is just notan aural form but also has a visual form and that is light. We will discuss about this later in detail.

But let us focus on the actual second question as to what the contents of this Space energy were:

The space is filled with Paramanu or Microbodes which are tiny particles. These are the God�’s(Higgs Boson) particle our CERN scientists are after. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_boson

Now, we are probably a year away before CERN publish the results when this blog is published. Iwould not be surprised to see the results of that experiment is closely aligned with what isavailable in our scriptures and produced in this blog.

The primal manifest form of the unmanifest is a square (primal wave pattern). This is the shapeof the Paramanu or Microbode. This is very luminescent, means filled with light and on a 3Dplane this shape is a Square Cuboid.

A Square Cuboid is a shape which is equal in all sides �– say of unit measure which is the smallestmeasure possible and has 6 faces, 8 vertices, and 12 edges. You can start figuring out inHinduism, why the idols of Lord Shiva and Lord Muruga has six faces, 12 eyes, hands etc.

You may want to note that 6 faces can be represented in 2 ways as below. Figure 3 is LordMuruga�’s star or a Star of David in 3D which has 6 faces and 12 edges, popularly known asTetrahedron. So don�’t be surprised if the Boson Higgs particle is of the same shape.

Figure 1: Science of manifestation(Courtesy: Pranava Veda by Mamuni Mayan �– 12000+ years back, recreated by Dr. Ganapathi Sthapati)

Figure 2: A cube with all equal sides Figure 3: A tetrahedron (from Internet)

The free space is packed with cubical atoms of energy. They are building blocks of the structureof the universe. So what is clear is that all these atoms existed in a �“resonant state of nonvibration�” before the so called �“big bang�” happened or the pulsation started.

It did not burst out of a single point as popularly believed. Alternatively, in space every pointis the center. When the pulsation started these cubical atoms underwent a shape change andmanifested as shapes and forms.

This cube is called as micro abode called Sittravai / Chittrambalam (mini hall in Tamil). This issecret in Chaidambaram, Sage Appar (Chidambara ragasyam) realized. Chidambaram is a Shivatemple associated with Space energy and when you go to sanctorum you would not find any idolbut just empty space with some lights there. This is to signify this concept of Paramanu which isluminescent and is a Cuboid in shape. This is the smallest particle possible and can be called as�‘God�’s particle�”.

The micro space, in the cubical shape is fetus or Garbha. This is known as Vinkaru in Tamil. Thismicro abode is the repository of light and sound.

The free space is Light and the Light is Moolam or source of the universe and universal forms.Light is Brahman, Atman, Vastu Brahman �– Nunporul in Tamil.

In the subsequent blogs we will correlate String theory, Brahma Sutra, Nataraja, Vishnu and how theyare all contained in order and proportion in pulsation.

Happy reading!

8. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 8 �– CHARACTERISTICS OFTHE GOD�’S PARTICLE (PARAMAANU)

This part is going to be a bit controversial hence read it with an open mind. Per our scriptures whenanalyzed deeply we can state that �“At the beginning it was just Consciousness (Pragnanam) that wasluminescent with unmanifested potential energy and residing at resonant state of non vibration. Thisenergy was un manifest and was present as Paramaanu or Microbode or Vinporul aka a subatomicparticle. Yes! It was a particle without vibration and was at resonant state of non vibration.

The entire Space was supposed to be filled with these particles only and these were primal potentialmatter which is ever lasting.

Now let us ask few questions and see how our scriptures answer this:

1. What was the shape of this particle?We have already answered that. In 2D it is square and in 3D it is a cuboid with all equal sides. Pleasenote that in space it is always 3D and not 2D. It has 6 faces, 8 vertices, and 12 edges. This is known iscurrent scientific community as Tetrahedron.

2. What is inside the Microbode or Subatomic particle?This is a very interesting question. Our scriptures say that it is purely space inside but with an energygrid.

3. What is this energy grid and what is its shape?It says that it is an 8x8 energy grid inside this microbode. This essentially means it is a square energy gridof 64 squares inside this Paramaanu.

4. What is this color of this Paramaanu?It is luminescent and hence the golden color of the light is what it is associated with. �“Hiranyavarnnaamharineem..�” says Sri Suktha in the vedas, confirming the color of this Paramanu. Their variations existbut the fundamental one is of golden color.

5. What is this size of this God�’s particle?It is calculated to be ~133 nm. We will see this in detail later.

6. What is the significance of the energy grid?For the time being let me state that anything subtle is a function of 8 and anything gross is a function of9. Let me also add that iChing �– which is a Chinese divination book and the hexagram which deals withthe Science of the subtle is in an 8x8 square matrix. The mental game Chess is played in an 8x8 square.

You would find 8 is the number or dimension for the subtle. We will see the importance of 8 and 9 andhow beautifully these proportions adorn everything in nature in our daily life.

7. Are these particles faster than light?Frankly I have not read a direct answer to this question but since this particle itself is light the velocity ofthis particle cannot be faster than light. This is my opinion. Modern experiments are suggesting that itcould be faster than light. In Mahabharatha, Yakshaprasna, the Yaksha will question this to KingYudhishtra as to �“what is fastest thing in this world�”? King Yudhishtra would reply as �“mind�”.

Some of the sages have interpreted that since Consciousness is omnipotent and ever connected thecommunication is seamless, instantaneous and not subjected to the concept of distance. The examplegiven is if there is a pain in your leg, it does not take time to travel to your head. It is instantaneous andhence the whole universe should be considered as a living organism.

So to conclude on this question the particles are not faster than light but each particle is filled withintelligence and consciousness (just like a human cell) and their communication to anything is notsubject to concept of distance. If our scientists come back and tell us that these particles are faster thanlight, then wait for someone else to tell us a little later that it isn�’t faster than light.

8. Ok. Who has seen these particles and give me empirical proof? ! (Paramaanuriti proktam Yoginaam, drishti gocharam) says

Mayamatham. This means the microspace or Paramaanu is visible to the trained contemplatives andmeditators only. One quick example as proof is the Temple in Chidambaram which represents Spacetattva where the temple is built around the concept with enough documentation on it.

But we have been trained under Lord Macauly�’s education system and how can we accept this as proofwhich is subjective and superstitious. If I may ask please tell me how many of us have seen the electronsor protons? Do we not believe everything when someone tells us in English?

It is true that because of its existence we can see its manifestations and results of some experiments inour day today world. So we will look at tons of manifestations which we have been in nature as weprogress. I would like us to be philosophically very clear as to what these things mean which we havebeen blindly following. For the time being please note down your questions and I am positive that thiswould be answered in due course.

Our sages have not only seen this, but have given the dimensions of this and the mathematical formulato manage this energy. We will see all of them. After reading all of them if you still don�’t want to believein our scriptures, then may be CERN�’s result if it�’s in the same lines would prove it for you.

Happy reading!

9. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 9 �– LIGHT, GOD�’SPARTICLE AND GOD

�“At the beginning it was just Consciousness (Pragnanam) that was luminescent with un manifestedpotential energy and residing at resonant state of non vibration. This energy was self manifest and wasever present as Paramaanu or Microbode or Vinporul aka a subatomic particle. This is omnipotent,omniscient and omnipresent.

Ignore religion for the time being and just look at this particle�’s characteristics scientifically. It is Eternal(Anaadi), primordial (Aadi), without any quality (Nirguna), it cannot be reached / grasped by thoughts(Achintya since thoughts as energy are much more gross than this and we would see this), it cannot bemeasured (Aprameya), Luminescent (Jyothi swaroopa), its omnipotence, omnipresence (Visvam) andOmniscience is already known. So said the mahavakya Pragnanam Brahma!

All the characteristics of the particle are attributed to a personality or a state by the founders ofreligions. Hindus called this state as Paramasiva or Purusha. Hence everything subtle is calledSivamayam. The essential pulsation which started and the universal evolution began was called asParashakti or Prakruthi or Maya.We will talk about the Shakti aspect later.

This subtle un manifest energy evolves to become universe which is gross. This gross energy alsoknown as earth is called as Vishnu and the subtle energy is called as Space / Akash / Heaven. So theterm became �“Sarvam Vishnu mayam Jagat�”. Please note that it is just Sivamayam and there is notJagat there. Since it is all subtle and there is no Jagat which is gross. But it is Vishnu Mayam Jagat.

I need to add that every sect in Hinduism has named this God�’s particle with a different name. Narayanahas replaced paramasiva in Vaishnavism and so on. In Hindu temples there are 2 prime idols �–Moolavarand Archakar The Moolavar does not undergo any archana or any decoration and it is always for theArchakar for which all poojas are performed. This god�’s particle refers to the Moolavar and notArchakar.

To my knowledge, every religion and every sage / saint has agreed with the fact this fundamentalparticle or energy unit is LUMINISCENT. Note that there is no sound or word in this �…yet. Let us see fewquotes on this (there are thousands of quotes):

Be it vedic culture, Zoroastrians, Greek or any major culture fire / sun god which representslight is worshipped.

�“Om Jyothi rasaha�” says Vedas In Gayatri mantra you meditate on the supreme light to illuminate you. Vallalar said �“Arutperumjyothi, Arutperumjyothi�” which meansmighty graceful light.

If therefore your eye be single, your whole body shall be full of light. Mathew 6:22 Thirumoolar states brilliantly that who realizes that the light (physical light which means the

world) merges with light (subtle light), he has realized SIVA.

- 124

So what has happened to the Sabda Brahman here? It has merged with the Artha Brahman which is thelight. What can you use to represent this state?

Light represents Form and our eyes represent Light / Form. So obviously sound is represented by ears.When sound has merged with light then it means Eyes and ears are merged together.

Can you think of anything that represents this state? This concept is captured by representing aManduka (Frog) or Sarpa (Snake) always. Since for a frog and a snake the ears and eyes are merged.Manduka Upanishad, represents a knowledge of this state. And obviously the 8x8 square / cuberepresent the most subtle energy as an energy grid is called asManduka Pada / Mandala..

Now the same aspect when it is applied to a gross form / body or a building then it is a 9x9 energy gridand it is called as Paramasyika Mandala. At the gross level the same concept as applied is the WORDwhere Light (form) and sound and meaning merged into one. You cannot separate them. We will lookat this later.

Unfortunately we have lost the science and we neither understand the philosophy nor the symbolismbehind this supreme science but we made fun of the fact that the supreme science is named after anabsolutely menial creature like frog which is used only for zoological lab studies across the world or endsup in the dinner plate as it does in far eastern countries.

I would like to conclude this section by stating (may be a little controversial) that First it wasConsiousness as the Vinkaru, Microbode, Sittrambalam, Nunporul, subatomic particle which wasluminescent. Later the concept of God evolved out of it.

So God is not light, but the right of saying it is �“the primordial aspect of �“luminescence�” has beenadopted as God�…

So, of the 5 fold evolution process we are still at the source (Moolam). We will see the concept of timeand the mathematical science in the subsequentparts.

Figure 5: Lord Nataraja in the Manduka Mandala (8x8 grid) (Courtesy: Dr. Ganapathi Sthapati)Our next topic is Nataraja and String theory!, so check out this picture. I want you to note the light / firein the left hand and sound / damru in the right hand. If you notice little closely, you would find a centralline along the picture�’s sternum and all the parts have minute measurements from the central line.

10. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 10 �– LORD NATARAJA

AND THE STRING THEORY

�“The self unfolds itself for its self �– Bhagavad Gita�”.

This self unfolded itself with a pulsation and this pulsation is the start of Absolute time (KAALAM). As Isaid nothing to my knowledge tell us clearly as to why this pulsation happened. This is the point ofsingularity in the scientific language and the event is termed as Big Bang. Just as I expressed earlier itwas an event of primordial pulsation and not of an explosion which threw away mass because of theexplosion into the space.

The entire space existed with its subatomic particles and this pulsation made the space to vibrate andthis vibration was rhythmic and led to the evolution of this universe. Popularly known as �“That onebecame many�”�… and ..Vastur eva Vaastu.

This pulsation happened because of the Pranava or the first pulsation resulted in the Pranava bothconceptually right. So at the time of this primordial pulsation 2 things happened:

The absolute time started. This is called Kaalam. Primordial and the most sacred Pranava emerged.

Both these happened simultaneously and it is futile to ask whether Kalam created Pranava or Pranavacreated the pulsation. In many of the texts it offered as Pranava that created the pulsation. So let�’s goby that.

This is the reason that Pranava / Primordial Om is so sacred in Hinduism. This Pranava had manifested in 2 forms:

o Luminescent form as OM the Light. This is the source of all visual forms. Theprimordial form is represented as in Tamil and in Sanskrit.

o Aural form as Om the sound. This is the source of all aural forms. I should say that thisis more popular form compared to the luminescent form.

Now this concept is very important, since in the Pranava meditation they say us to meditate on thesilence after the word OM and also mediate OM as light, OM jyoti rasaha in vedas.

So, when I say that sound merges into light, it is all the aural form merges into ITS luminescent form. Allluminescent forms merge with the Paramaanu which is also luminescent. I am reproducing this passageagain for emphasis and clarity.

Sage Thirumoolar states brilliantly that who realizes that the light (physical light which meansthe world) merges with light (subtle light), he has realized SIVA.

- 124

I have read many times over to understand this concept and I would suggest that you allow this conceptto sink in.

Now let�’s come to the 8x8 energy grid of the Paramaanu and imagine that it is pulsating because ofPranava and this Pranava has both light and aural form.

They say that this pulsation is rhythmic and symmetric. When something is Symmetric, then there has to be a central line along with the Symmetry

comes. For example if our right and left sides are symmetric then the body is divided along thesternum & backbone.

Within the 8x8 energy grid / hall there is a vertical luminous shaft called Brahma Sutra (Olinool). Sutra in Sanskrit and Nool in Tamil means Thread / String.

This Olinool / Brahma Sutra is a shaft of consciousness also called Moolathoon /Moolasthambham.

This shaft of consciousness vibrates in a particular order called rhythm. This is the order ofnature.

This rhythmic vibration of the shaft of consciousness is the dance of Shiva, the CELESTIALDANCE / THE COSMIC DANCE / THE DANCE OF EVOLUTION of the LORD NATARAJA.

Look again at the picture of LORD NATARAJA, he is drawn inside a 8x8 Manduka mandala (nowyou know what it is), his left leg is raised suggesting a movement from left to right. Imagine thathe is going to land the left leg to his right side.

Why should he suggest that he is moving from left to right?

His left hand holds light / fire and his right hand holds Drum / Damru / Sound. The process ofEvolution which starts with the absolute time and Pranava is fantastically represented pictorially. Itsuggests that the evolution process starts with the rhythmic dance of the PARAMAANU in a 8x8energy grid and this process evolves first as light and then as sound. This light and sound createsfurther forms and the entire universe.

It is very easy to answer as to why sound evolves from light? We all know that the light is at a higherfrequency and velocity than sound. This is the same reason we see lightning first then hear thethunders.

So let�’s summarize the DANCE OF EVOLUTION of LORD NATARAJA:

From being un manifest the Pranava emerges. Or the Pranava evolves the un manifest tothe manifest and starts the cycle of evolution.

This leads to a pulsation which is called as the COSMIC DANCE / CELESTIAL DANCE / DANCEOF EVOLUTION.

This pulsation is rhythmic and symmetric. The luminescent shaft of consciousness is called as Brahma Sutra or popularly called as

String theory in the modern science. The process of creation evolves from the dance as light then sound evolves from light and

then all the visual and aural forms in this universe.

If this is so then the process of dissolution should be that Lord Nataraja�’s right leg should be liftedsuggesting a movement from right to left isn�’t?

Look at the majestic picture suggesting the DANCE of EVOLUTION and the DANCE of DISSOLUTION asbelow:

Figure 6: LORD NATARAJA / DANCE OF EVOLUTION Figure 7: DANCE OF DISSOLUTION

In my opinion there is nothing more scientific in this world that is pictorially represented about theevolution of universe. You should read a book called �“The Tao of Physics�” by Frijat Capra where asphysicist he explains how he experienced this and highlights the dance of the quantum particles in spacecorresponds to the dance of Lord Nataraja.

Now this central shaft of Consciousness is called Brahma Sutra and according to our scriptures everyParamaanu has this string, which means every being, matter, inanimate things in this universe includingthe tiniest of subatomic particles have this string / sutra. In the future parts we will see the Mathsbehind this sutra and the pulsation but let us look at what the modern science says about Superstringtheory here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_theory. You can read it how many times ever you want butthis theoretical postulation is a direct adaptation of the cosmic dance and our Brahma Sutra and nothingmore.

Now check out Lord Nataraja at the CERN http://www.fritjofcapra.net/shiva.html


Now you may understand as to why I started this series with the above line. We have a very rich pastthat is most scientific and it is left codified in a form across thousands of temples in India. Let us justopen your eyes and understand the scientific meaning around it.

If you are so far surprised at our richness and advancement, please wait till we will get into real hardcore mathematics and geometry of our nature in the subsequent parts.

May that �“Sutradhaari�” dispel our ignorance and reveal to us the secrets of nature.

Happy reading!

11. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 11 �– VASTUREVAVAASTU AND E=MC2

We have seen that the universe in its un manifest state is filled with luminescent cuboids and there wasa trigger in the form of Pranava which started the absolute time and gave forth visual forms and auralforms.

This process of evolution is depicted very nicely in the following diagram:

Figure 8: Transition forms of Brahman (Coutesy: Dr. Ganapathi Stapathi)

The square (in 2D) which is an 8x8 energy grid became a 9x9 energy grid which is manifest / gross. Thetransition forms were an octagon and a circle. Aintiram suggests how this transition takes place. Currentphysics accepts that a pulse and a sine wave can be created from each other and this happens becauseof simple addition of harmonic frequencies.

The primordial pulsation initiates a rotational force and this rotational force as it gains momentumconverts the square into a circle and if you notice that the octagon is just an in between statebetween a square and a circle.

We see confirmation of the details of this manifestation process in Chapter 9, verse 8 of the BhagavadGita where Lord Krsna describes His manifestation process to Arjuna:�“prakritim svaam avastabhya visrijaami punah punah�”, meaning �“Curving back onto myself, I createagain and again�…�”

What it suggests is that the essential shape of every gross form in its natural state is a circle (in 2D) and asphere in (3D). This is the reason we find every planetary body is almost spherical in shape and this isalso the reason as to why the ripples in a water body when we throw a stone in the water are incircles.

Be it the center of a tornado or the shape of a hurricane or a tsunami it always a circular force. Thesupreme secret in martial arts is that the Chi moves in a circular fashion and hence Tai Chi is the most

deadly form of martial arts. Lord Vishnu has Chakra as his weapon to suggest not only light but also therotational force.

The process of manifestation is captured in these 2 pictures at all the significant stages. If you noticethat a single dot becomes multiple dots, then a line, then a pulse and then goes on to becoming a 8x8energy grid and then to a 9x9 energy grid. 8x8 is un manifest and 9x9 is manifest. These aspects are verywell captured as sutras in the book Aintiram and Pranava Vedam.

Figure 9: Transition forms of Brahman in detail (Coutesy: Fabric of the Universe)

If you look at the Fig 10 conceptually the following things happen:

Subtle Energy becomes gross universe and the fundamental 5 elements are created in theprocess.

It is said that 1/10th of the space becomes Air, 1/10th of air becomes Fire, 1/10th Fire becomesWater and 1/10th of Water becomes Earth.

So we can conclude that we are living in a Space delineated world.

Figure 10: Subtle Energy to gross (Courtesy: Dr. Ganapathi Sthapati)

This wisdom was so succinctly captured by my good friend Lao Tzu in �“Tao Te Ching�” as follows: (Readheaven as un manifest space and Earth as manifest gross)

“Heaven and Earth last forever. Why do heaven and Earth last forever? They are unborn, so ever living…. Thirty spokes share the wheel's hub; It is the center hole that makes it useful. Shape clay into a vessel; It is the space within that makes it useful. Cut doors and windows for a room; It is the holes which make it useful. Therefore benefit comes from what is there;Usefulness from what is not there….”

But I wanted to highlight more important aspects to this process of manifestation.

Advaita philosophy states that there is no duality. If you note that the Parammanu is what ispresent every living being and inanimate thing. What is within you is what is within me andhence the mahavakya �“Tat Tvam Asi�”�… You are that.

Vastureva Vaastu �– Vastu which is unmanifest and subtle becomes Vaastu which is manifest andgross.

If we assume that Paramaanu is God�’s particle and hence it is divine, then everything in thisworld is divine. This is the most important philosophy in Hindusim. See the oneness in all andsee �“All in one�”.

That�’s why Hindus saw divinity in everything. Trees, snakes, animals, insects, birds, humanbeings etc. There is nothing without that divine energy or particle �– however you call it.

This philosophy is UNIVERSAL, OPEN SOURCE, ALL COMPASSING and the highest state ofconsciousness.

But let�’s look at something even more important:

We all note that Subtle has become Gross. Hence conceptually Gross = Subtle or both areproportionate.

We all note that Space has become Earth. Hence conceptually Space = Earth or both areproportionate.

We all note that 8 have become 9. Hence conceptually 8 =9 or both are proportionate. We all note that ENERGY has become MATTER. Hence conceptually ENERGY = MATTER or both

are proportionate. This is represented by E = mc2 by our great scientist Einstein. While we didnot have this specific formula, the concept and the associated texts were very much with us forages.

So this is what Einstein quoted after reading Bhagavad Gita. "When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous." ~ Albert Einstein Now let’s try to answer this question:

When you throw a stone in water / pond the ripples that form take the shape of a circle (in 2D) /sphere (in 3D). Can you guess what the shape of the ripple would be if you throw the samestone in space?

You would have probably guessed the answer. The ripples in space should be and would be insquare /cube in shape.

12. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 12 �– VEDIC CONCEPTOF TIME & ITS MEASUREMENTS

The importance of time (Kaalam) is so high in the Vedic tradition that they ensured that the accuracy,continuity of time and the easy measurability of it is maintained for who knows how many years. Timecreates, sustains and destroys everything and this is very nicely captured in these 2 lines:

, ,

The god of time is Kaala Bhairava �– a form of Shiva and hence both Shiva and Yama the lord of deathboth were known as Kaalan. The time is represented by number 13 and it belongs to Kala bhairava. Wewill see the interesting linkage between Vedic system and the Mayan calendar found in Guatemala andMexico later.

Swami Chinmayananda states that �“Time is the periodicity between 2 thoughts�”. Nothing captures theconcept of time more wisely. What is clear from our scriptures and Swami Chinmayanda is that time isthe pulsation that creates this universe. It is the vibration with very accurate periodicity and our sagessuggested that you can live beyond time provided you manage to escape the effects of that pulsation.

Einstein�’s view on time and its relativity is very realistically captured in this quote �“When you arecourting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red hot cinder a second seems likean hour. That's relativity.�” More than relativity I found that the root cause of relativity is the pulsationof mind as time. Einstein on a serious note proved that our view of time is not absolute, it is relative andit is a continuum with space. We will in the next few parts of this blog would see that time and space arethe same or Time = Space.

Aintiram states that there are 5 things that vibrates which have a common root and are not under ourcontrol. They are Space, Earth (vibration of earth is gravity), Eye lids, thoughts and Musical notes andvery nicely put in Tamil as (Vin) , (man), (Kan), (Yen), (Pan). Pan is musicalmetre / chandas and Yen is the yennam or thoughts.

Correlate this with the first line of Patanjali Yoga Sutra which says �“Yoga Chitta Vrtti Nirodah�”, meansYoga is one which stops the vibration of mind / pulsation of mind and hence is a killer of thoughts. Themeditation techniques of keeping your eyes opened without battling the eyelids is another way ofovercoming this pulsation instinct that is primordial and inherent in our nature.

Let�’s look how intricate our measurements time are in Vedic system. Check out the image below.

The smallest unit of time is approximately 2 micro second. The largest unit is about 155 trillion years�…. YET. Brahma�’s linear age is 50 years and in currently in his 51st year which makes the universe to be

155+ trillion years. Brahma�’s life time is 100 years which means it would be 300 trillion+ years ofuniversal life which follows a cycle.

After 100 years of pulsation cycles Brahma stays as dormant energy for the same period andthen pulsates again for the next life of 100 years.

A Brahma's life is also known as a Para. Each half Param is referred to as a parardham. Thissecond half is termed as 'dviteeya paraardhe' (the second half of Brahma's term) is stated in allvedic rituals.

After every Chatur yuga, the world recycles. After every 2000 years / a Brahma day the worlddissolves and remerges. The important point to note is that there is no CONCEPT OF CREATIONhere. It evolves and dissolves as per the science of pulsation. We also note that this pulsationexpands and contracts. This cyclical nature of time as believed in Indian mythology refers totime as 'anaadi' or that without a beginning.

Figure 11: Time measurements in Ancient India

While doing Vedic ritual the time and space coordinate is invoked to say that you are doing this ritual atthis place in the universe and at this time �– with reference to Brahma�’s age to the time and star of theday. This tradition is unbroken and the Indian Almanac can predict the position of astronomical objectswithout any error for thousands of years without any sophisticated instruments and space ships.

On the contrary just read the history of the Gregorian calendar which we are following here,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregorian_calendar. There is neither accuracy nor continuity and to topit up there are authorities who reform the calendar as if time stops and waits for them to affect thatreform. Why should we ignore the best of time science that we have for an inaccurate, discontinuousreformed calendar?

13. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 13 �– SOUTHAMERICANMAYAN & SOUTH INDIANMAAYAN

Since we are discussing about time, let us address the Mamuni Maayan and the South AmericanMayan.

A lot has been talked about Mayan calendar and the imminent destruction to planet earth in the year2012. I would recommend �‘The Mayan Factor �– Path beyond technology�” by Jose Arguelles if you areinterested in this topic.

In this part I am interested in highlighting that the South American Mayan and the South IndianMamuni Maayan who wrote Aintiram and Pranava Veda are one and the same. Extensive researchhave been conducted by many and I found, both the works of Jose Arguelles and late Dr. GanapathiStapathi who has spent about 3 decades each, very impressive. Dr. Ganapathi concluded that they bothare the same and he has shown some interesting linkages.

I am going to present what impressed me in both these great researcher�’s works.

First let me state that the doomsayers of 2012 phenomenon picked up Mayan�’s calendar whichstarted in 3113 BC ran for 5125 years and the calendar ended in year 2012. Since the calendarended they thought this signified that the world is ending. Jose argues that this is wrong andmost probably the human race is entering into the next phase of evolution and the next cyclewould begin. If you strongly believe that this is not true and the world would certainly end by2012, then please ensure that you transfer all your assets and savings to my name effective 22,Dec 2012.

Mayan in his calendar in South America used very unique numerals in his calendar that is givenbelow:

Figure 12: Mayan�’s numeral system (Courtesy: Wikipedia, Internet)

Now let me reproduce a Tamil poem written by Mamuni Maayan in his work called �“Kanithamaasennool�”. This song is part of the book written by Maayan in Tamil during his time �– 12000 years+. Thissong expresses how the numerals are formed till 10. It says,

o 1 is one dot, 2 is 2 dots, 3 is 3 dots, 4 is 4 dots, 5 is a line and 10 is a double line.

!! ( - )

Among the books written during Mayan�’s time in Guatamala are Popol Vuh, The annals ofcakchiquels and the Book of Chilam Balam. The resemblance of Chilam Balam to Chidambaramwith which S. Indian Maayan was so involved is very striking.

Be the pyramids that were built in the jungles of S. America that has a striking resemblance tothe viamanas from south India, the earth�’s revolution around the sun measured within 1/1000th

of the decimal point which is available in a book called Surya Siddhaanta �– In Sanskrit by Mayanand the identical measurements available in South America �– the similarities are difficult toignore.

Jose Arguelles makes a compelling argument about the shift in consciousness in 2012 due to amajor galactic synchronization. But what impressed me are the following:

o Comparison between iChing (8x8 hexagram) and Mayan�’s Tzolkin which is 13x20matrix. In fact there is a Franklin�’s magic square which is based on the 8x8 grid of iChingthat adds upto 260 which is the galactic constant of Tzolkin. This was amazing.

o He refers to Radiogenesis �– Universal transmission of information through or as lightor radiant energy which is very much relevant to our discussions of light and sound.

o The revelation he received from a Maya Humbatz men belonging to the universal greatbrotherhood organization revealing that our universe is the 7th such system which Mayahas charted in the universe. So, we are not alone

Would conclude this topic in the next part�…

14. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 14 �–MAYAN, TAMIL,PLEIADES & ICHING

Jose Arguelles was also mentioning that the pyramid structures of Mayan civilization in South Americawith the Tzolkin calendar matrix communicates with 2 constellations �– Pleiades and Arcturus. Josementions that he is sure about communication with Pleiades constellation.

Why did Pleiades interest me? According to Tamil history, Tamil is a divine language and the Lord associated is Lord Muruga.

He is the Tamil deity and he is from the Constellation Pleiades which is called Kritika nakshatra. This emphasis that the South American Mayan could be a Tamilian from India, as many in the ET

studies circuit opine that Pleiades is a constellation which is like our distant cousin where Tamilis spoken. There are many links but you can check this out..http://22050hz.blogspot.com/2008/10/pleaidians.html

Look at the Mayan calendar in Fig 14, it is a 13x20 Tzolkin matrix.o Please recall that we mentioned 13 is the number for Kala Bhairava.o Tzolkin has a mystical central column around which 6 and 6 columns exist. The belief is

that this central column is the frame of reference to the galaxy and it is believed toconnect to Hunab Ku �– the center of the galaxy.

o This mysterious centre column is believed to be the road to the sky leading to theumbilical cord of the universe. I immediately correlated this with the thread ofconsciousness which is connected to the Hiranyagarba (the center of the galaxy as perIndian texts.) �– Check Figure 13.

o So understanding that this shaft of consciousness is connected to the center of thegalaxy (Hunab Ku / Hiranyagarbha) at the one end and to our solar plexus at the otherend with communication and galactic information transmission happening throughresonance of light, opened many gates within me.

Nothing in this universe exists without purpose and the form and shape of any being / thing isexplained as a state of consciousness at a particular resonant frequency adds to the Seelam (Rhythm)aspect of the Kaalam which we are going to see later.

For the space and time travel enthusiasts, Mayan has the following:

All space travel is intelligence as information �– transmitted through light by the principle ofharmonic resonance.

Mayan says that Sun is the lens through which galactic information is transmitted from thegalactic core and interpreting this with Gayatri Mantra where we meditate on the supremelight Savitr �– an aspect of Sun god is amazingly striking.

Mayan highlights that time is a function of principle harmonic resonance and he attachessignificant importance to the numerals which he states are the galactic harmonic constants. Thisis exactly what Aintiram states.

He interprets the iChing to contain the Genetic code of the human DNA as a hexagram in a 8x8matrix which is a binary progression to the 6th power corresponding 64 six part words/codons. At the same time he interprets number 260 to be galactic constant and 360 which isthe factor for a calendar year or the total angle in a circle to a harmonic calibrator. Hisexplanations more on this and on the mystical number 7 do not resonate in my tiny brain and Iam begging for holy grace to expand my mind to understand these concepts.

When he says that flowers open to light just does not mean that it is sensitive to be light butdeeply it aspires to be LIGHT. I am not sure if you understand the depth of this statement asagainst the Sage molar statement which states gross light should merge with subtle light. I havebeen left speechless for days after understanding this correlation.

It is interesting to note that significance of numerals as per Mayan factor: 1 �– The pulsation �– Ray of Unity 2 �– The pulsation Ray of Polarity 3 �– The pulsation Ray of Rhythm 4 �– The pulsation Ray of Measure 5 �– The pulsation Ray of center 6 �– The pulsation Ray of organic balance 7 �– The pulsation Ray of mystic power. 8 �– The pulsation Ray of harmonic resonance.We will see more of this. 9 �– The pulsation Ray of cyclic Periodicity 10 �– The pulsation Ray of Manifestation 11 �– The pulsation Ray of Dissonant Structure 12 �– The pulsation Ray of Complex stability 13 �– The pulsation Ray of Universal movement

In all 2 independent researchers working 6000 miles apart, conducting their studies independentlyseems to be pointing to just one person and one philosophy and science. What else we could do otherthan thanking our fortune to have read them and made this connection. I thought of writing just a pageon this topic and I have ended up with 2 parts and I am stopping my temptation to write few more pageson this topic. For all of those interested, please read the book by Jose Arguelles.

It is amazing to find out how most of the ancient civilizations seem to have a common root and thecommunication between various geographies looks stunningly simple and the metrics on astronomicalobjects and other space sciences seems to be so accurate despite the absence of precision instrumentsand spacecrafts. One tends to believe that we had far advanced knowledge of nature which we seemsto have lost and most certainly few thousand years back we were not nakedly roaming in the jungles ofIndia and Africa hunting animals as the western experts wants you to believe but had a far superior &scientifically advanced civilization.

15. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 15 �– SHIVA LINGAMIS NOT A PHALLUS

If there is one part in the series I want you to read and talk about it with your friends then it is this topic.If I ask you as to what Shiva Linga stands for then more than 99% of the responses would be that itrepresents a Phallus symbolizing the male sex organ / creative energy with the female sex organ /creative energy Yoni as the base and both together representing inseparability and totality in theprocess of creation.

Nothing is more misunderstood and misquoted than this concept of Hinduism. Every idiot including mewho has read few books about Hinduism thinks that they are experts of Indology / Vedic studies. Thewisest of sages who gave us Vedas and Upanishads did not boast that it is their work. At the end ofevery work they acknowledged that they are telling us what they have been told by their ancestors. It is155 trillion+ years of universal knowledge available today in the richest of the languages Tamil andSanskrit. This cannot be accurately interpreted in a foreign language. Lest in the weakest of all languagesEnglish.

The other contributing factor to this misunderstanding has been the Sanskrit language or should I saythe richness of the language.

We have already noted that the same word can have multiple meanings. This is not limited to Sanskrit,but the all the languages. For example,

Sutra means thread, Aphorisms (the ability to express something in terse and concise manner).Ex. Kama sutra �– the most understood of all the sutras. Brahma Sutra �– The thread ofconsciousness in any form that runs in this universe �– the most unheard of.

Artha in Sanskrit means �“meaning�” and �“wealth�”, we have already seen this. As in Vaak Arthaand Artha Sastra (the science of wealth management).

Same way Lingam means Symptom, Proof, Gender, Male sex organ etc. Hence it was very easyto get confused, associate the lingam with a Phallus and also to ignore the philosophy and thesupreme science behind it. Even people who believed that it represented much more did notknew the philosophy and the science behind it. Let�’s look at what it means.

I am going to request you to kindly refer to both the pictures below:

Figure 8 �– reproduced here for convenience

Figure 15 �– Shiva Linga �– Shape and Significance (Courtesy; Dr. Ganpathi Sthapati)

We have already seen that the subtle energy is takes the form of a square and the gross energy takesthe form of a circle with an in between state it takes the shape of a tetrahedron and octagon. Now lookat the Shiva lingam from the top. Its base is always a square and the top is always a circle.

Figure 16 �– Shiva Linga Figure 17 �– Shiva Linga with shape of the God�’sparticle (Star) engraved.

If I have to merge all the 3 shapes together and it naturally takes the shape of a Lingam with a roundtop. Shiva Linga captures the overall process of evolution in one form and shape subtle to grossstate �– it encompasses every state of consciousness that is possible in this universe.

Why the figure above states that Square shape is Sattvic, circle is Tamasic and the in between state isRajasic? Let�’s understand the definitions of all the three qualities.

Sattvic represents the perfect state of balance. When it is subtle it is luminescent and in aperfect state of resonant non vibration. The energy levels were perfect so that the resultantvibration is nil and it is in absolute balance.

Tamasic state represents a state where the height of evolution is reached and hence it isfarthest away from the core. This is a different explanation from the usual one available in theweb and books. Let me explain this. The core is very subtle and the tamasic state is very gross

and hence it is away from the core. Tamasic state then should be considered as the darkeststate possible. Why?

o Because the core is luminescent and if the gross state is farthest from the core hence itshould be dark. This is the meaning behind the most famous statement �‘TamasomaJyothir gamaya�”�… take me from darkness to light. It is not about just your mind butabout the entire being aspiring to become a light and merge with primordial light.

o There is no evolution possible beyond the Tamasic state and it has to devolve to reachits core / subtle state.

Rajasic is a state where the pulsation has resulted in a rotational force and hence things areset into action. This represents the evolution process and hence associated with action.

Then the natural next question is, if Shiva Lingam is associated with the entire spectrum ofconsciousness then we should see it associated the elements and the light. Isn�’t?

There is a story in Indian Purana that Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva discussed who is the mostpowerful among them. Lord Shiva challenged Brahma and Vishnu to reach his head and feetrespectively. Brahma tried to find Shiva�’s head and Vishnu tried to reach Shiva�’s feet, both ofthem failed. Most of us would have heard the story but would not have understood thephilosophical and scientific significance.

o Lord Shiva in the form of Linga stood there as a PILLAR OF LIGHT. This pillar of light isthe Brahma Sutra / light of consciousness which spanned from the center of the galaxy(Hiranyagarba) to every being & non being in the Universe.

o Brahma could not find the head because; Brahma is always associated with intelligencein Indian texts. He gave the supreme wisdom the Vedas and stands for Intelligence. Hecould not reach Shiva�’s head signifies that Intelligence will not take you to God.Intelligence as an energy is too gross and cannot reach the most subtle state of light.

o Vishu represents earthly life �– Rajasic in character �– this is the tetrahedron & octagonstate. He could not reach Lord Shiva�’s feet signifying you cannot reach the core throughactions.

Lord Shiva in the form of Lingam is represented as one of the elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Air,and Space) in the Hindu temples.

If you read the following Upanishad quote, you can probably understand the meaning:

na karmaNaa na prajayaa dhanena tyaagenaike amRitatvamaanashuHpareNa naakam nihitam guhaayaaM vibhraajate yadyatayo vishanti

Not by work, not by progeny, not by wealth, they have attained Immortality. Some have attainedImmortality by renunciation. That which the hermits attain is laid beyond the heaven; yet it shinesbrilliantly in the (purified) heart.

And this quote also brilliantly articulates the luminescent nature of the Paramaanu:

na tatra (not there) suryo bhati (sun shines) na candra (moon does not) na tarakam (nor the stars)nema vidyuto (nor the lightning) bhanti (shines) kuta ayam agnih (how can fire shine)tam (that) eva (alone) bhantam (shines) anubhati (thereafter shines) sarvam (everything)tasya bhasa (in that light) sarvam idam vibhati (everything shines)

The sun does not shine there, nor does the moon, nor the stars or the lightning, much less this fire(deepam). When He shines, everything shines after Him; by His light alone everything is illumined.

The trick is to take the definition & meaning from Upanishads or any scripture and apply it to the God�’sparticle and the process of evolution and you would understand it perfectly. Many a times the conceptof God & faith obscures our mind to look beyond and rationally think about it. It is not the problem ofreligion but our system of education which has ruined our thinking. Today the biggest challenge wehave is to "Unlearn" than to learn.

So to conclude: Shiva Lingam does not represent Phallus. To represent male and female totality and

inseparability Hindus do have Arthanareeswara and it is not represented through Lingam. Shiva Lingam represents the Pillar of Light and the entire spectrum of consciousness. From the

most subtle to the most gross. It represents an in between Guna / EGG state (between un manifest and manifest) and hence it

is formless with a form. While Lord Nataraja represented the rhythmic pulsation of this Brahma sutra, the cosmic

dance / the dance of the evolution, Shiva Lingam represents the primordial light itself in all itsstate of consciousness.

By this analogy, our body itself is a lingam with the visible body as the gross part at one end andthe most subtle body which is invisible and is part of the primordial light at the other.

Check out the picture below which represents most of the aspects we have discussed so far.

May Lord Shiva help us all to understand him better..

As a wise man said, �“Indians are the most ignorant about their rich past and scientific traditions.�” Yetwish that this quote isn�’t wiser any more.

Happy reading!

This diagram represents everything we have discussed so far. The central red line is the Brahma Sutrawhich runs from the center of Galaxy to the terrestrial forms. Just correlate this with the Mayan HunabKu in the previous part. This summarizes as to how Energy becomes matter, Subtle becomes Gross, Un Manifest becomes manifest,how 8 becomes 9, and Square / Cuboid becomes a circle / Sphere. All represented in one formless form calledSHIVA LINGAM.

16. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 16 �– SEELAM THEPRIMORDIAL CIRCULAR FORCE GANAPTHI &MATHEMATICS

In the last few decades the main stream western science has started accepting concepts like uncertaintyprinciple, wave mechanics, quantum mechanics, and periodicity of the wave pattern. Most importantlyit is about the fundamental wave pattern of any energy or matter and the harmonics of these wavepatterns falling in a particular form and proportion which is dictated by geometry / mathematics. In allthe western scientists are scratching their heads on the depths of science of the subtle aka the sacredspatial geometry.

Most of the eastern philosophies have mastered this science and have codified these natural laws as apart of their religion, which is often dismissed as superstition. I already highlighted that in Tamil andSanskrit the definition for science is �“Knowledge of the space�”.

Modern science is moving in the right direction albeit very slow and they are trying to understand as tohow elements are bonded within a molecule in addition to what elements constitute them. For exampleChlorophyll molecule consists of Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and magnesium (Mg at its core) has acomplex 12 fold Pattern �– just one such typical pattern which can convert sunlight into life substance.The same pattern exists in our RBC cells just that it has an iron at its core instead of magnesium.

The understanding about the human body especially, �“the spatial awareness that exists in each andevery cell is due to the different sensory organs tuned at frequencies�”, led the scientists to unravel theinnate spatial geometry of life.

Be it living, non living beings, abstract forces like gravity, nuclear force, electromagnetism, heat,movement of astronomical bodies it does not matter what, everything in this universe adheres to avibration / periodicity and is reducible to a number or a ratio. As a wise man said, �“Mathematics is thelanguage of gods�”. This primordial rhythm & its harmonics are captured under the topic �“Seelam�” byMayan in ancient tamil texts. Let�’s look at this in detail.

I have been finding it difficult to sequence the flow for this topic and let me try starting from the basics:

We know that the Paramaanu or God�’s particle is a cube. This particle with the primordialvibration combines with other particles to create a shape. The Paramaanu combines in themultiples of 8 to evolve the next structure. Let us see the importance of 8 later, but remember8 is the number for Lord Narayana and Om namo Narayana has 8 Aksharas.

What do you call a cube called in Tamil? It is called Ganam ( ). This also means heaviness,gravity, honor, dignity, abundance, plenty. To indicate it is a square cuboid they call it

.

The process of the addition of Paramaanu into bigger units is called as Ganam ( , ). In

Tamil both the Cube and the additive resultant are called as Ganam and the only

difference being that in Cube it uses a small �“na�” ( ) as an alphabet. In the additive process / resultant it uses a Big �“na�”( ). The big �“na�” signifies that due to the

additive process the small (na) becomes big (na).

This additive process starts because of the first rhythmic circular force also called as a Suzhi ( ) in tamil which means �“loop�”.

Here comes the beauty. The Lord of or the energy associated with this additive force (Ganam) iscalled as Ganapathi ( , ). Note this is the bigger �“na�” used andnot smaller �“na�”. He is associated with the first circular force Suzhi (and hence hetakes the first honor in any Vedic ritual. This means Lord Ganapati is the firstprocess in the evolution and everything has to start with him. Even if it is Lord

Shiva or Vishnu it does not matter, the very first honor goes to the Lord of Ganas. Many Indianswhen they start writing (atleast few decades back) they first start with this symbol at the top ofthe page before anything for a successful completion of that activity.

If I add my own inferences to the above with a caveat that everything else I have written have asolid back up mostly from our own study of languages (as you can yourself see) and ourscriptures.

o The symbol above signifies that what was �“a point�” with untouched / non interactingenergies / resulted in the primordial first circular force out of a pulse and also signifyingthat every circular force shall also collapse back to a point.

o Also the bigger / heavier things are formed or created by its smallest unit and hencesymbolically the heavier ones are carried by the smaller units. To signify this may be agod in the form of an elephant is carried by a mouse.

Now you know why every ritual starts with this Sloka to Ganapathi:

o �“GanAnAm tva Ganapati gum Havamahe, Kavim Kavinam Upamasra vastamamJyestharajam Brahmanam Brahmanaspat aana Srnvan nuti bhissi dasadanam�”

This means �“May you the Lord of Ganas, Ganapati",... . so it goes.

Now what do we call the study of this additive force Ganas? Mathematics �– Ganith /Ganitham ( , ).

So we Indians have codified:o the primordial God�’s particle as Paramaanu or microbode or Lord Shiva,o the rhythmic movement of the pillar of light as Lord Nataraja,o the first circular force as the symbol for Lord Ganapathi,o the lord of the additive force as Lord Ganapthi ando the Study of this additive force which leads to the formation of everything in the

universe is Mathematics in Sanskrit and Tamil.

o Every possible state of consciousness and manifestation is represented in Shiva Lingao We will see that the multiples of 8 in which the additive force moves is codified as

Lord Narayana or Vishnu and the five state manifestation process as the five lettersassociated with Lord Shiva.

Just forget that these names are the names of the Hindu gods, and tell me one religion or philosophy orone branch of science in this world which can capture the nature�’s primordial secret in this way andcodify it for the common benefit of the world and carry it for thousands / millions of years.

These are just a start and please wait for the other interesting aspects to unfold.

17. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 17 �– SEELAM THEPRIMORDIAL RHYTHM & FUNDAMENTALS

Now, let us get into some real heavy stuff Mathematics (Ganitham �– the study of Ganam) that governsthis rhythm and harmonics. My first concern is how to make it easily digestible for an average individualwho hates Math? So I shall take the easiest route that I know. I shall first explain the concept, then theactual Math part of it and then go to the philosophy and significance of the same. Later we shall look athow these are codified in nature and our scriptures and available in front of our eyes which we havefailed to recognize.

Let us be clear about the following terminologies like Progression, Proportion, root, Diagonal andPythagoras theorem:

Let us take a series as follows: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32�…. In this we need to be clear about what isProgression and proportion. As many of you know that whole series is a geometric progressionwhere the next number in the series is a function of the current number and a multiple. Thismultiple here is 2, so that 2*2 = 4, 4*2 = 8 and so on. This multiple or the constant is called asproportion. You derive the value of the proportion by dividing the number by its previousnumber �– (n+1)/n : (n+2)/(n+1). Hope this is clear.

We know that a square has 4 equal sides. Each side of a square is called as �“root�” and the linethat connects the 2 opposite ends is called as �‘Diagonal�”. In the figure below sides AB, BC, CD,DA are called as �“Root�”. Lines AC, BD are called as �‘Diagonal�”.

Figure 19; Square Figure 20: Pythagoras theorem

Pythagoras theorem �– This theorem gave us the formula to calculate the sides of a right angletriangle as given above. If you are not familiar with this, then please understand that if you knowany 2 sides of the triangle the 3rd side can be calculated by the formula given above. I am notgoing to focus on the argument that this theorem was available in Indian scriptures before theGreek mathematician gave it. Let�’s look at the concepts and not which civilization gets credit asof now.

Since the fundamental structure is a square in 2D and Cube in 3D and also in the process of evolutionone becomes many, let�’s ask ourselves the following questions:

How one square does create another square which is larger in size, progressively? What is theprogression and proportion in this series?

How one cube does create shapes which are polygonal (Hexagon, Octagon, decagon,dodecagon etc) progressively? What is the progression and proportion in this series?

Now let us see Figure 21 where and consider the square ABGF. You can enlarge the image to see thealphabets clearly. Now as we know sides AB, BG, GF, AF are called �“root�” �– remember this well and letus assume the smallest root possible is unity and hence each root is of unit length. AB=BG=GF=AF=1.Area of this square = 1*1 = 1.

Figure 21; Square Figure 22: Cube

Line AG is called as the �“diagonal�” and as per Pythagoras theorem the length of AG should be 2. AG =(AF2+GF2). So to summarize the root of the square ABGF is 1 and the diagnol is 2.

Now consider a larger square AGHJ, here AG, GH, HJ, AJ are the sides and hence called as root. AH, GJare the diagonal in the 2nd square. We know AG = 2, then AH = GJ = 2 as per Pythagoras theorem. Tosum up the root of the square AGHJ is 2 and the diagonal is 2. Area of this square is 2.

If you look at the ratio root/diagonal (root to diagonal ratio) of both the squares it is 1/ 2 and 2/2which results in 1/ 2. This will progressively hold good. The magic proportion in this progression is 2.

What we can infer from this is if we consider a progression of squares from a unit square to largersquares, then the proportion of the progression is 2. But before we jump into its philosophicalsignificance let�’s answer the second question.

Consider the cube above whose side is of unit length. We know a cube is made of squares. We knowABCD is a square of length (root) =1 and diagonal = AC = 2. If we want to find out the length of thediagonal of the cube which is AE, then ACE is a right angle triangle with AC = 2. And CE =1 and hence AE= 3.

What we can infer from this is if we consider a progression of cubes from a unit cube to larger ones,then the proportion of the progression is 3.

I am going to handle the significance of 2 and 3 in the next part.

Happy reading!

18. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 18 �– SEELAMSIGNIFICANCE OF 2 & 3

Let�’s look at the significance of 2 and 3 but before that let�’s capture the philosophical significance ofProgression and Proportion:

The whole world is conceptualized as wave harmonics of the primordial rhythm with aprogression and proportion. Philosophically the Proportion which does not change / which isconstant is the immutable component and the progression which changes / is volatile is calledas theMutuable component in the process of evolution. The whole universe is the progressionand God is the proportion. So if I know the God�’s proportion and the formula behind it I cancreate anything in this universe including a universe. This secret is called as the Brahma Vidya /Sree Vidya (Knowledge of Brahman, Sree) in Indian texts. What we are going to see further arevery minor parts of the Brahma Vidya.

In the last part we saw, that the primordial square multiplied itself to be a larger square(progression of squares) using the proportion 2. The diagonal of the square 1 (ABCD) formsthe root of Square 2 (AGHJ). This is very profound if you get the concept.

If we consider square 1 as the cause then its diagonal is the effect. This diagonal is the root forthe next square (AGHJ) and hence the effect of Square 1 is the cause of Square 2, this causeresults in square 2�’s diagonal which is its effect and this is how the progression or evolutionhappens. If you can see glimpses of Cause and effect cycle and the famous law of Karma in thisanalogy then you can pat yourself.

A square halved by the diagonal (square 1 with area 1) produces a square twice its area (square2, area = 2). The mystery of biological growth from cellular division or the different musicalnotes from the base tone is contained in this.

Robert Lawlor in his book �“Sacred Geometry�” very nicely puts it as the root of a plant (like theroot in a square) is causative and embedded in the earth (and embedded in the square). Theseare very heavy and profound concepts just let it sink into you.

When you divide the full height of the human being considering the total height as unity thenbelly as called as Hara in Japanese, Dantein in Chinese, Nabhi in India which is below the navelwill measure (2 2) from the soles of the feet to belly and ( 2 1) from navel to the head. InYoga, Zen and Chinese meditation techniques this point corresponds to the transformative andgenerative aspects of the individual that involves rooting techniques for self transmutation. SoLao Tzu said, �“To seek the root is the goal�”.

2 signies the power of mul plicity. Hence the Generative aspect of this rhythm is attributedto 2. This represents the principle of transformation.

Remember 2 is a proportion in the progression of squares and a square does not become ahigher form. We have seen that the diagonal of the cube (sides of unit length) is 3. It is this 3which divides the volume form of a cube and the diagonal of the cube becomes a root for thehigher shapes like pentagon, hexagon etc.

Hence 3 signifies the formative power of the rhythm while 2 signifies the generative powerof the nature.

We will touch the same using Vesica Piscis in the next part which shall take us to 5 and the goldenmean . I am not going to touch upon important topics like Gnomic spirals and the relation betweenvarious progressions and hence I would request you to Google them if you are interested.

Happy reading!

PS:There are many books on this topic and I would recommend �“Sacred Geometry �– Philosophy &Practice�” by Robert Lawlor which I found easy to read and understand.

You tube and Internet is replete with tons of images, articles and videos on this topic and you can learna great deal from them.

19. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 19 �– SEELAM �–VESICA PISCIS, 5,& GOLDEN MEAN ( )

If you don�’t know what is vesica piscis, please google and you would find it interesting. I am not going toexplain it here and I would focus on the summary and aspects which are often left out. The philosophicalaspect of Vesica Piscis, is a rotating point becomes as circle of unity. Two circle of unity (with its radiusas unity) interacting / intersecting each other in a perfect manner offers an overlapping area which isconsidered to be sacred and fundamental to all the geometric forms in the universe. We will first seehow 2, 3 & 5 are part of this Vesica Piscis.

Please look at 2 circles who radius is unity and AB = 1,intersecting as per the diagram. The overlapping areaABCD is the Vesica Piscis and we can see 2, 3 & 5 allpart of this Vesica Piscis.

ABPQ and ABRS are 2 squares and the side of the square is1. 5 is as significant as 2 and 3. In the diagram here 5is the diagonal of the rectangle PQRS / diagonal of 2squares �– one below the other.

Figure 23; Vesica Piscis

5 is the regenerative factor that binds 2 squares or that factor that transcends two worlds or thebonding factor for 2 cosmic entities. This 5 shall take us to the most important ratio which is theGolden mean or the God�’s ratio.

But before that let me share what stuck my mind when I was engrossed with Vesica Piscis and 3. Lookat the pictures below. These are pictures of forehead marks of Hindu Brahmins sects called Iyengars andtheir supreme deity is Narayana. I correlated the striking similarity of the rectangle around the Vesicapiscis and Iyengar�’s namam. You just have to imagine the 2 overlapping circles are the right and left sideof the face with the Vesica Piscis starting from the top tip of the nose. To me the formative principle of3 is in line with the �“Bhootha krut�” and �“Vishwa karma manu stvashtha�” aspects of Maha Vishnu asper Vishnu sahasranamam. I had a good laugh on this correlation.

Figure 24; Iyengar Namam 1 Figure 25: Iyengar Namam 2(Courtesy: Internet) (Courtesy: Internet)

Coming to the Golden mean, If you have not heard about it, just Google or here is a quick linkhttp://www.goldennumber.net/. Some of you might be even have fatigue repeatedly reading and listeningabout it, like I do. Hence I am not going to rewrite what is widely available. But let�’s look at thephilosophical aspect of it, its relation to 5 and its manifestation.

Now so far in 2, 3 & 5 what we have seen is how Unity evolves as many. But if I am interested ingeometrically dividing the Unity so that this proportion evolves as unity then how do I do it?

Consider a line of unit length and also consider twosegments a, b so that a+b =1.

A and B are such that it has to fulfill this condition ofProportionality that a/b : b/1.

(Figure 26: Line and )

This means what �‘a�” is to �“b�”, is the same as what �“b�” is to the whole length which is 1.

Mathematically resolving this equation a/b : b/1, hence b2 = a and hence b= a. This means a + a = 1.The answer to this equation is only one value which is called the Golden mean / God�’s ratio denoted by

= 1.6180339�… and a = 1/ . Philosophically it is the division of unity and the only possible creativeduality within the unity.

You may ask as to why unity is not divided into 2 equal parts and why is should be 1/ (0.6180339..).This is effectively answered by our Upanishad �“Whether we know it or not, all things take theirexistence from that which perceives them�”. Adi Shankara said �“the universe is an illusion / maya�”because it is what we perceive.We tend to ignore them as philosophy or superstition.

But let�’s look at it scientifically as we understand. When the unity is divided into equal parts there is noasymmetry and difference and hence there is no perceptual universe. An asymmetric division is neededto create the dynamics necessary for progression and extension of unity.

Let�’s summarize our understanding again:

2 �– the generative component and a multiplying factor creates multiple squares from a unityof square.

3 �– the formative component that creates multidimensional polygonal shapes from a cube. 5 �– the regenerative component or the binding component that transcends and binds both

the worlds. Golden mean or the God�’s ratio, which is an evolutionary principle that is guided from

within and an indisputable mathematical evidence of the conscious evolution of this Universe. Is a self similar variable which can be used to derive Unity and it is the only proportion by

which the Primordial rhythm maintains it perpetual oscillation to sustain this universe. Relation between and 5 is, = ( 5+1)/2

Now let�’s geometrically as to howand 5 are intricately linked. Considerthe Pentagon picture whose side is ofunit length. Ie.

AB = BC = CD = DE=AE = 1 and

EG = FB = CG = DF = 1 and

EB = = 1.61803399 and BG = 1/ =0.61803399 and hence all the ratioslike AG = AF = EF = GB = 1/ .

Also FG = 1/ 2, which means EB =EF+FG+GB = 1/ +1/ +1/ 2

Also GI = 1/ 2 and GJ = 1/ 3

(Figure 27: Pentagon & , Courtesy: Internet)

If you are interested more please check out the Fibonacci series and its relation to . The importance of5 is dominant in every living organism while 6 and 8 are the characteristic of mineral and inanimatestructures. It used to be rule of thumb that any plants / flowers which has 5 petals is an edible plantand hence 5 and pentagon are the symbols of life which contains the God�’s ratio or the golden mean.

Now let�’s also understand how a 5 is related to 2 and 3. If we consider a right angle triangle with thebase of 2 and height of 3 or vice versa then the hypotenuse is 5. Now let me draw the connectionbetween 2, 3, 5, and . If you think they are all some random numbers which cannot be fixed totheir 10th decimal and not related to each other, just see the following relationship.

= 2 x 6/5 or alternatively = ( * 5) /( 2* 3)

This is the binding factor. I shall produce below some pictures which are aligned based on pentagon andthe web is replete with them for you to understand more.

These 2 parts were little heavy and I shall move to easier aspects on the universal rhythm from nextblog. The point I was trying to make is that everything in this universe is subject to a proportion and itsfractals and let�’s see the manifestation of it in our daily life.

Happy reading!

20. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 20 �– SANKHYA YOGA

AND SAGE KAPILA

Now, let�’s look at what Sankhyakarika one of the greatest scientific works by Sage Kapila. I need tohighlight that the Sankhya philosophy is one of the most evolved philosophies about the secrets ofnature; it contains only 72 verses of which 68 of them define the complete spectrum of universalmanifestation. This Sankhya Yoga is referred in Bhagavad Gita �– Chapter 2 is called Sankhya Yoga andin Chapter 10, verse 26, Lord Krishna identifies himself with Sage Kapila.

Sankhya in Sanskrit means numerals / numbers. Sage Kapila states:

Any measurement is a relational process and only a change can be measured but it takes time.The difference between the yardstick and the measured object constitutes the measuredvariable, which in effect is an incremental change. Since the observer can detect or measureonly a change then logically, the incremental unit of measurement itself should form the basisto derive the whole. This is the genesis of .

Correlate the above statement with the equation a + a = 1. The unity is derived from theproportion �“a�” or 1/ .

As an example, the arch of a bow has expansive stress on the outer side and compressivestresses on the inner side, while the string is in tension and all are balanced at every instant. Theexpansive, compressive and tensile stresses can be expressed by one law.

Alternatively, a single variable describes the proportionality of three types of forces existing atthe same time. Such a variable should be scale invariant, self similar and have an axiomaticrelationship to the whole.

So Sage Kapila called 1/ as a self similar variable from which the unity can be derived.

So he postulated if x is the value of a measured increment then the total value 1+x must berelated to the ratio of change as 1/x at the same instant of time or simultaneously. This means1+x = 1/x, and would lead us to X2 + X = 1.

He quotes that if the primordial rhythm has to be self sustaining then the proportion is certainlygoverned by 1/ . He gives the formula for this oscillations as follows:

o X = 1/ = 0.61803399o Increment / Expansion = 1+x = 1.61803399 =o Compression = 1 x = 0.38196601 = X2

o Resonance = X3 = X X2 = 0.23606798

Resonance or X3 is the factor which protects this rhythm from decaying and dying off. So or 1/ issuch an important ratio or proportion so it is called as the Golden mean or God�’s ratio.

I shall highlight some of the factors / ratio which are part of Sankhya Yoga and what is amazing and youfind formulas for Tamasic, Sattwic and Rajasic Guna states. (Please refer �“Secret of Sankhya Yoga�” �– G.Srinivasan in the web).

Kapila defines the four qualities of the unmanifested state as Aikaantha (Synchronized),Aathyanta (perpetual), Atho (Dynamic)and Abhavath (unmanifest).

Taking C as cyclic rate of oscillation or vibration and x as rate of change per cycle then the threeGuna self similar interactive states are shown as vibratory counts per cycle by the formula.Thaama = C1+x . Rajasic = Cx+x . Sathwa = C1 x.

Some of the numbers that Sankhya Karika deals with are 1/7 (0.142857), /10 (0.314159), 1/(0.618034), 2 (1.414), (1.61803399), 3 (1.732), 5 (2.23), e (2.718282), (3.14159) anddeclares that the unmanifested state (Abhavaat) can exist only when the oscillations arebetween /10 (0.314159) and e(2.718282). This is simply amazing since the state of Abhavvatis the state of Brahman.

Despite herculean efforts I am unable to understand the Bhashya for the 72 verses which is about 500pages explaining the secrets of Sankhya in any significant measure. I wish someone can step in and helpus by explaining Sankhya Yoga that is comprehensible to our level of intelligence.

We have a treasure of secrets and richness hidden in our scriptures and it seems we have already lostmost of them and the fundamental reason being our indifference to Sanskrit and our mother tongue.


Happy reading!

The passage produced below is just the summary of verse 1. �…The Sankhya view that evolves out of the complete theory is that only vibrations are detected by theobserver... Since only relative changes can be be detected, any fundamental component that is not in avibratory state cannot be detected. Vibrations are caused by components in an interactive state or acyclic state of colliding and separating that is common to all interactions and wave phenomenon.

The interactions create three distinct modes of stresses. Collisions are compressive or inelastic. Theresultant reaction is expansive or elastic. When the interacting components lack the freedom to moveaway the interactive state is maintained in a cyclic or shuttling mode in the same location in a resonantstate.

This important Sutra lays emphasis that if the observed process of detection is dependant on vibrations,then fundamental space must contain components with those four characteristics described as states,which makes it function in a holographic way. That is all vibrations remain in fixed relationship relative toeach vibratory point in a coherent and resonant state.

21. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 21 �– 5 AND 8 THE

UNIVERSAL RHYTHM

Let�’s summarize what we have seen so far and then move on to more interesting aspects.

We have touched upon the God�’s particle and its characteristics. We also looked at the 5 foldmanifestation process and in that we looked at how Moolam becomes Kaalam (time) and how timerhythmically (Seelam) vibrates with a proportion and creates forms and shapes (Kolam). We alsotouched upon some of the ways we had codified the secrets of nature like Lord Shiva, Lord Nataraja,Lord Ganapati etc.

Before we see how rhythm (Seelam) and shapes (Kolam) manifests itself as universe, let�’s first look atone specific word from Tamil which has three significant meanings converging into one, Yen ( ), means number eight, generic term for Number / numeral and also root for which meansthought. I shall explain the significance of this below.

Importance of 8 / Octet:

It is stated that these God�’s particles combine in the multiples of 8 / octaves ONLY and the states ofmanifestation from being subtle to gross is as given below.

o Formless Un manifest State 0 (This is the Abhavaat state)o Guna State 80 = 1o First stage 81 = 8o Second stage 82 = 64o Third stage 83 = 512o Fourth Stage 84 = 4096o Fifth Stage 85 = 32768. This is the state with manifest form.

This rule is applicable to both the visual and aural forms which mean we can see or hear anything only inthe fifth stage of evolution. So as per Pranava veda, the fundamental numbers are 0,1 and the keynumerals for proportions are 5, 8.

Significance of 5 and 8:

Pranava Veda describes that 8 / octets is the essential harmonic oscillator for the manifestation of theuniverse since this generative force is the multiple with which the whole universe manifests andsustains. You many note that number 8 is associated with Lord Narayana and his Ashtakshara mantra(Om NaMoNaRaYaNaYa).

The principle of 5 / Penta, we have seen is the regenerative binding force earlier. It is always a 5 stageprocess. This is associated with Lord Shiva (Om NaMaSiVaYa). The un manifest form comes to the Gunastate with the force of 5 and in the multiples of 8. It is also important to highlight that 5 and 8 are part ofthe Fibonacci series and their proportion is 8/5 = 1.6, which is .

But it is important to realize that the building of octets is a 5 step process for manifestation. Thishighlights that one cannot exist without another and both are interdependent. Now let�’s recall:

"Shivasya hridayam vishnur, Vishnoscha hridayam shivah:" and "Shivaya Vishnu rupaya Vishnave Shiva rupine" Vishnu (8) is the heart of Shiva (5) and likewise Shiva is the heart of Vishnu and they both are the representation of each other. If you have noted Tamil language stressed the importance of words and its meaning �– this wasaddressed in the first few parts of this series. Here Tamil language gives the importance of numerals andits significance in the formation of universe. Both the great sages Auvaiyaar and Thiruvallular stated theimportance of numerals and letters in an identical fashion. Both these lines mean, Numerals and lettersare like eyes for living beings / equal to eyes.

!

!

Now what should be noted here is that ( ) importance of numerals precedes that of letters and weknow why. The aural and visual forces become letters & its associated sound at the 5th stage but thenumerals are from the Guna state. Numerals were associated with 8 / Lord Vishnu and letters wereassociated with 5 / Lord Shiva. Guess you can get the scientific knowledge and significance we have inour languages.

Since what is in macro is there in microcosm, taking the analogy to microcosm our mind becomes theMoolam (Source), our thoughts are the vibration, time is measured as the periodicity between thoughts,based on the rhythm of our vibration we perceive the world. This is given very nicely as

! means Our mind is the source and its awareness becomes forms.

This wonderful concept is what is linked in the word Yen ( ), which means number eight, genericterm for Number / numeral and also root for thoughts. Just this one word in Tamilhighlights the supreme secret that thoughts become form and words with the help of numbers andnumerical proportion converts aural and visual forms to thoughts.

22. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 22 �– EIGHT (OCTET)AND THE 5 SACRED ARTS

!!

The above lines from the work Aintiram means �“Eight / Octa (multiples of 8) is the fundamentalnumeral for any measurements. We did see that the fundamental god�’s particle add up with each otherin the multiples of 8 in the previous part.

In ancient India there were about 64 arts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kal%C4%81 ) known as Chatuhsastikala (" " as popularly known in Tamil), but I am going to

talk about 5 sacred arts.

We will look at the importance of numeral 8 and how this is fundamental to everything in this Universe.But let�’s again start again with etymology. The word arts in Sanskrit is �“Kala�” ( ) and Time in

Sanskrit is (Kaala). So etymologically we can say that classical arts are all about variation

of time (or harmonics of this pulsation of time in the multiples of 8).

After etymology let�’s get to the basics. Our understanding of the universe is that �“the primordial spacemanifests itself as spatial forms through pulsation (Time) and its periodicity (Rhythm & order). Thisevolution started with Pranava which came out as aural and visual form (Sound & light). When they say�“The one became two�” they refer to the Pranava which is light and sound from the unmanifestedconsciousness.

Aintiram states that the dual form of Pranava gave forth 5 sacred arts which are fundamental to most ofthe other arts. The Aural form of Pranava gave forth Poetry and Classical Carnatic music, which canonly be heard. The Visual form of Pranava gave forth Sculpture and Building architecture, which canonly be seen. Both the aural and visual forms merged to create the classical dance (Bharatnatyam),which involves both seeing and hearing.

They were classified as 5 vedas:

Poetry �– Sabda veda Classical music �– Gandharva Veda Classical Dance �– Naatya veda Sculpture �– Sthapatya Veda (Sthapati is a clan that is the master of this veda) Architecture �– Pranava Veda

Pendatic Tamil and its construction:

Pendatic Tamil is called as (Aintamizh) which consists all the five above arts, , , , , . It is these 5 arts which were formed out of the Tamil

language and the language itself is created from the word Om. They say that it is not 12 basic vowels inTamil but only 5. They are , , , , . These 5 letters combine to form the rest of the letters like

+ = , + = , + = , + = , + = , + = ,

+ =

Here you may want to note that 5 has become 12. Same way in classical music they say that the basicsvaras are 5 ( , r, , , ) �– Sa, Ri, Ga, Pa ,Da which became 7 and then 12.

So 5 is the fundamental numeral for evolution and Tamil language has grown based on this philosophyand science. I am sure some of the other Indian languages have the same basics. The book whichdescribes this phenomenon of evolution of language from Pranava and arts from language is Aintiram (itmeans 5 works) ( ) authored by Mamuni Mayan dated 10000 BC.

You would agree that the aural forms are predominantly variations in time and visual forms are ofspatial variations. But our ears stand for akash tatva (�“space�”) and it can perceive variation of time andspace and we will see this in detail. When we said �“Time = Space�” we will see that both of them aregoverned by the same laws and measurements and hence there is no difference between Time andSpace.

23. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 23 �–NANOTECHNOLOGY IN ANCIENT INDIA & SIZE OF GOD�’SPARTICLE

Let me start with these questions:

What is the size of the God�’s particle and how is it calculated? Does nature endow a standard measure for an average human being�’s height?

Before we proceed to the next section I want to give the very detailed space calculation table used inancient India. Our rishis did not stop just with telling us that the Paramaanu / God�’s particle is verysmall but went ahead and established its size.

If you have to see such minute particles then your sensory organs �– Eye and mind should be tuned to itso that it can see things at that size. From the formula available in our ancient texts I was trying toreconstruct by working backwards to find out the size of the Paramaanu / God�’s particle should be.Please refer the table below which I have arrived at.

(Figure 33: Ancient Spatial measurements. Courtesy �– Dr. Ganapathi Sthapati)

I have given the exact word used in Tamil for these measurements instead of translating it in English.Ther Thugil is the dust from chariot wheel, Mayir nuni is the width of a hair tip, Eer and Paen are the lice

ANCIENT SPACIALMEASUREMENTS

eggs and lice. Some of you may jump that most of the units were subjective and would have variationsin normal life. I agree but there is a reference point �– Angula and its exact measure based on whichother values are derived backwards to arrive at the value of Paramaanu.

Now if you note the smallest particle aka God�’s particle / Paramaanu is 133 nm in size which iscurrently under study by the CERN scientists. Nanotechnologists today confirm that the width of a hairstrand is about 25000 nm and our ancient texts give the size at the tip of the hair strand (and not thewidth) as 8526 nm. I see that to be a reasonable estimate when no such precision instruments wereavailable in those days.

One Angula is 11/8 of an inch. This is the fundamental measure which is used in any of the worldlymeasurements. Now you can see that 6 Angula is 1 Tala which is about 8.25 inches and then comes themost important revelation. Does nature endow a measure for an average human being�’s height?

The answer is yes. As I said an average human being should be 9 Tala�’s height and hence the natureendowed height for any human being is 74.25 inches. This is the ideal height and the variation isattributed to our Karma, hereditary and lifestyle.

Now let me give few tips to find out your height from typical measurements:

Measure the length of the face (from forehead to chin). Your total height should be 9 times thatheight. This is the principle of Nava tala. As an extension measure your thigh or legs lengthexcluding the knee and feet and your total height should be 4.5 times that.

Take your right hand middle finger (No. Don�’t show it to anyone ). You would notice that thefinger is divided into 3 parts. Measure the length of the lowest part �– from the end of the palmto the first subsection. Your height typically should be 54 times this measure. Since this measurefor an average man with nature endowed length shall be 1 Angula. Hence your height shall be54 times that measure.

The length of the thumb from the base of the wrist should be about 3 Angula and hence 18times of that should be your height. This can go on and on.

So, to sum up this section:

Instead of looking them as Rishis or Sages or religious figures if we look at them as scientists inthe field of nanotechnology, quantum physics and Astro dynamics we would accept most of thesecrets without any prejudice.

Not just the measure for the height of the man but they had formula for every object and thiswas the secret of their wisdom. For any astronomical object, they had formulas to measurebody�’s core (width) and also the width of the mantle. The roots of their wisdom lie inunderstanding that �“many�’ are just a harmonic variation of the �“one�” subject to a mathematical

proportion. Hence there was no �“rocket science�” in those days and all of them were as simple asit looks like.

24. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 24 �– OCTET, OCTAVE

AND THE GANDHARVA VEDA (CLASSICAL MUSIC)

Let�’s start with classical music where Octaves form the fundamental for it. There are seven svaras (Sa,Ri, Ga, Ma, Pa, Da, Ni) which is made into an octave with another Sa after Ni. So it becomes Sa, Ri, Ga,Ma, Pa, Da, Ni, Sa (Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti Do). The first rule of classical music is �“Shruthi Mata, LayamPita�”, which means Shruthi is the mother and this corresponds to the frequency or the spatialcomponent and Laya is the Tala component which is a function of time compared as father.

(Figure 34: 35 types of Tala. Courtesy: Wikipedia, internet)

There are 7 fundamental Talas in carnatic music and each Tala has 5 different variation based on Jathi soin all there are 35 different Talas as given in the tabulation. These Talas are measured as the �“matras�”the unit duration of time. There is another concept called Nadai or Gati which we will not touch uponnow. But let�’s look at these 35 variations and can you tell me where the most famous �“Adi Tala�” is in this35? Most importantly why it is also called as �“Adi Tala�” �– which is the primordial rhythm?

The answer is �“Chatusra Jathi Triputa tala�” highlighted in the table is called as �“Adi Tala�” and it is calledso since it gave the most primordial rhythm with 8 time units. But there are couples of more cells wherewe can see �“8�” in the table and why these are not called �‘Adi Tala�”?

The primordial rhythm has a pattern of 1, 3, 2 and 2 which adds to 8. Further on we will see just thevariation of this Adi Tala in anything and everything. Tisra Jati matya Thala has a structure of 3, 2, 3 andKanda Jati jhampa Tala has a structure of 5,1,2, hence they are not classified as the primordial rhythm.

Let�’s quickly touch upon the spatial variation or the frequency / pitch aspect of this divine art before webranch off to other topics. The image below gives the 16 levels of Savaras which includes tones and subtones. The seven svaras become 22 tones based on the frequency variation / harmonics. Here 7 arefundamental svaras and 16 as given below is the most practiced variation and 22 is not popular.

(Figure 35: Svaras and frequencies)

You can note that Sa starts with 240 Hz and the last Sa is 480 Hz doubling the frequency and hence anoctave. While Sa has 240 hz and 480Hz levels, the tone Pa (P) or Sol does not have any variation and thisis at 360Hz. I am going to correlate the Mayan studies with Carnatic music and instead of seeing thewhole spectrum from �“Sa�”, I am going to see this spectrum from �“Pa�”.

You would note that �“Pa�” at 360 Hz corresponds to the Harmonic osciallator constant number and thewhole spectrum is almost like a Sine wave from 360Hz to 480 hz and falling down to 240 Hz with auniform gap of 120Hz above and below. All the tones would fall within this 240Hz centered around 360hz. So the spatial variation in carnatic music can be summed as �“It originates at a value (240Hz) andvaries by the same measure (240Hz) centered on the harmonic oscillator�”. Since the objective is aboutlooking at the primordial rhythm we will not touch any other aspect on this topic.

We will see how this Adi Tala is the fundamental pattern / rhythm that manifests in every other art.

25. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 25 �– ADI TALA, NAVA

TALA AND STHAPATYA VEDA (SCULPTURE)

Let�’s look at how Octet and the primordial rhythm (Adi Tala) that defines Sculpture. Let�’s recap some ofthe following:

The process of evolution starts with Pranava which has aural and visual forms. We have alsoseen that anything subtle is represented in a 8x8 energy grid and anything gross is in 9x9 grid.

The fundamental measure with which the particles bond is Eight or it�’s multiple and hence theprimordial rhythm is an Octet.

The fundamental measure of time is Tala and the primordial Tala is Adi tala with 8 units and apattern of 1, 3, 2 and 2.

(Figure 36: Human form �– Adi Tala, Nava Tala Courtesy: Dr. Ganpathi Sthapati)

Now let�’s see the measurement rules as to how to make a sculpture of a human being.

The overall human height is measured as 9 talas. Yes the same time measurement is used tomeasure height. Pinch yourself now, since height is a space variation and not a time variationyet it is measured with a metric of time. This is a secret which is unknown to many and evensome of the experts in this field. This is where Time and spaces merges without any differenceand this is the fundamental rule with which we have been creating visual and aural structures inthe universe.

Divide a man�’s height as 9 units of which head, torso, thigh and legs would fall into thepattern of 1, 3, 2 and 2 which adds up to 8. This is the primordial rhythm �– the Adi Tala now asa human form. Then how 8 became 9? No other branch of Vedas or science tells us this secret so explicitly

to my knowledge. The following parts, Top of the head to forehead, Neck, Knee and feeteach measure 0.25 talas and hence add 1 additional tala to 8 and it becomes 9. So Adi talawhich is a subtle version of human becomes Nava Tala which is the gross version of humanbeing. In the process of 8 becoming nine all the joints are formed in the body .

Let me add one more dimension to this. Our human body has a gross body (Sthula) and asubtle body (Sookshma sarira). The Sthapatya veda tells us that the gross body is nava talaand sookshma sarira is Adi Tala.

I fell off the chair when I understood this and the linkages. Check if you are still on your chairand maybe you should sit on the floor from now on .

Martial Arts and Lord Nataraja�’s stance:

Let me ask you the following questions here:

Look at the image of the Lord Nataraja below. If a gross image should have Nava Tala whichis a 9x9 grid then why the human image of Lord Nataraja which is a Nava Tala fitted into a8x8 square instead of a 9x9 square?

Both in Classical dance and in martial arts why do they ask you to stand in a posture wherethe knee is slightly or significantly bent. Not all of the stances but most of the basic stancescorrespond to this why? Let me know if you have received a satisfactory answer for thisquestion.

(Figure 5 reproduced)

The answer to this question reveals one more secret to us.a. In Sthapatya veda each grid line is divided into 10 or 11 or 12 (usually 12) and

hence a 9x9 grid has 9*12 = 108 blocks or levels of energy. This may explain why108 is a sacred number from an energy perspective. This covers the entirespectrum.

b. When we create a gross image its always sculpted to 9 talas but when they sculptimage of the gods and in this case Nataraja, they fit the gross image to a 8x8 energygrid to invoke the subtle energies.

c. How do they fit a 9 tala to 8 tala? The technique is not to change the proportion ofnava tala but they ensure that 9 fits into 8 by making the image to bend it legs suchthat the height reduces by one unit.

You can notice that Lord Nataraja�’s right leg is bent to fit the image in 8x8 grid. This isbelieved to invoke the subtle energies corresponding to that image.

This is the same reason why martial arts and in Bharatnatyam your teacher asks you to takea basic stance which reduces the height from 9 units to 8 to invoke subtle energies. Ofcourse the other reason is the alignment and focus to Hara / Dantein with that pose.

If I tell you that the science of nature and the associated philosophy codified in Hindu religious symbolsare unmatched and amazing then I hope you would whole heartedly agree now. These religious textsand symbols offer the key to unlock the secrets of nature.

So to sum up, so far we have seen one variation of time as Gandharva veda that manifests as classicalmusic and the primordial rhythm is Adi Tala. Next we saw that the Sthapatya veda in the form ofsculptures offered the secret of space variation in Adi Tala and Nava Tala.

This is where Time and Space were equated with the same measure yet offered completely differentarts.

The whole universe has these underlying and un manifested interconnections and hence the Hinduphilosophy of �“That one became many�”�… is the supreme truth. Seeing the divinity in everything is theonly truthful way of recognizing this science.

26. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 26 �– SABDA VEDA,CHANDAS & POETRY (MA NISHAADA�…)

Shuklaambaradharam Vissnnum Shashivarnnam Caturbhujam | Prasannavadanam Dhyaayet Sarvavighnopashaantaye || Let�’s start with this Sloka as a sample to see how 8 and its harmonics are integrated with Poetry. In thissloka there are 4 lines (a line is called Pada and Pada means feet in Sanskrit) and each line has 8 SanskritAksharas (Only vowels and vowels with consonants imposed on them should be counted and pureconsonants are not part of the count.) This is usually written in 2 lines as shown in English.

This is the most popular way of creating a sloka or poem in most of the Indian languages. This �“metre�”resonates as 32 aksharas in 4 padas. You may want to correlate this with 1,3,2,2 where the last 2 standsfor your feet. So feet (pada) measures 1/4th of the overall length of the subtle body (8 units) and 4 padascreate the full blown subtle body. So such a constructed poem is a throbbing and vibrating energy bodyor a living organism and hence carries the power of the words it contains.

If all the padas have equal metre say 8 units then it is called Sama Vrtta, and if all are different it iscalled Vi Sama Vrtta (not equal). This 8 and 32 is the same as Adi Tala in carnatic music and ashta talain sculpture. Can you make the connection now?

In Sanskrit this metre is called as �“Chandas�” and in Tamil it is called �“Chandam�”. Chandas is also one ofthe 4 important Vendagas and is called as the feet of the Vedas. Let me ask you as to which languagethe Vedas are available in its primordial form? The most popular and incorrect answer is Sanskrit. Thisis the level of awareness we have. Lets quickly look at these important points about Vedas and I shallcorrelate this with our topic of discussion.

Unlike other faiths Hindus don�’t attribute the Vedas as word of god or given by some prophet.We consider Vedas as the breath of god (�“Nishwasitam�”) and not the word which means, Vedasare not created by god, but the breath. If there is no breath that person would not leave andhence it is associated with the very presence of god.

Vedas are also Apourusheya which means it is not created by man and Anaadi, that does nothave a beginning.

But you can ignore them stating these are blind beliefs. Let�’s look at how this correlated withthe science. Vedas are created by Pranava and these should be considered as the harmonics ofthe primordial vibration and nothing more.

o If it is pure vibration then the �“which language it is written?�” sounds stupid isn�’t. If it�’spure vibration it has to be expressed in �“Hz or wavelength�” equivalent in ancient India.This is what Chandas or metre is all about. This measures pure vibration and anyonecapable of tuning themselves to those frequencies have SEEN the Vedas and notcreated them. Hence all our rishis areMantra Drishtas and not Karthas.

Difference between Vedas and Poetry:

Vedas contains both poetic verses (Padya) and prose (Gadya). All the poetic verses are called Chandasand it complies with the rule as stated above. The difference between normal poetry and Vedas are,Vedas contain tonal variations (high pitch and low pitch) apart from the time, space variations but inPoetry there are no tonal variations. What has tonal variations and are not part of Vedas are calledSlokas. So to sum up:

Vedas are both in Padya and Gadya. What is in Padya is called chandas and it has tonalvariations in addition to the time space variations.

What has tonal variations but not part of Vedas is called as slokas. What does not have tonal variation but comply with the chandas rules are called Poetry.

Harmonics and types in Chandas:

We saw every line to have 8 matras / units / aksharas. There are variations and these are the harmonicsavailable.

Gayatri �– This is a very special chandas with the mantra where instead of 4 padas, there are only3 padas and hence it is called Tripada Gayatri. Each pada has 8 Aksharas and hence 24 Aksharasin Gayatri Mantra. This is also the only chandas where a mantra is named after the chandas.Some people write it as 6 letters per line and 4 padas which makes it 24.

Ushnik Chandas �– 7 letters per pada and 28 letters in all. Anushtub Chandas �– This is the fundamental and popular one with 8 matras per pada and 32 in

all. Ramayana the first poetry was set in this metre. Brihatee Chandas 9 letters per pada and 36 letters in all Pangti Chandas 10 letters per pada and 40 letters in all Trishtup Chandas 11 letters per pada and 44 letters in all Jagti Chandas 12 letters per pada and 48 letters in all. This has a subtype called bhujangam

which is split as 6 6 and that moves like a snake. (Ex. Subramanya Bhujangam) Shikarini Chandas 17 letters per pada and 68 letters in all. In Soundarya Lahiri it is split as 6 and

11 by Adi Shankara. Udkriti Chandas �– 26 letters per pada and 104 letters in all. Dhandakam �– above 26 per pada. Ex. Garuda Dandakam by Vedantha Diskshitar.

The reason I have given all the above is to emphasis that nothing in our religious scriptures, literaturesare without a grammar, order, form or proportion. Everything confirms to a mathematical proportion.

Just like Vedas are the breath of god, Chandas is the breath of every mantra. The mantra is powerfulonly if it is recited to this metre. This is the reasons some of the poem even if it is not related to religion

stands the test of time. Also if you recite a mantra even without knowing its meaning but as per thechandas then the mantra shall bear its fruit.

�“Ma Nishada�” �…..Origin of Poetry:

Would you believe that the first poetry in this universe started with a curse?

Sage Valmiki saw a hunter who killed one of the birds of a pair which were in love. The sage got enragedand cursed the hunter, O, Hunter, may you not fare well anytime as you killed one of pair of theKrouncha birds which were happily engaged in love�”.

mA niShAda pratiShThA.n tvamagamaH shAshvatI.n samAH |yatkrauJNchamithunAdekamavadhIH kAmamohitam.h || (bAlakANDa 2.14)

The above sloka also meant �“O Lord of Lakshmi, it will bring you eternal glory for having killed a maleof a happy couple who lost his head completely in lust..�” This male is Ravana who lost his head in lustdespite being happily married with his wife Mandodari. The other interesting connection I have thissloka with this series is that the Mamuni Mayan is the father of queen Mandodari and father in law ofdemon king Ravana.

Once the sage realized that this curse also meant something very auspicious and referred to Ramaavatar he wrote Ramayana which is the origin of poetry as known in the world and it is called AdiKaavya. Valmiki Ramayana set in Anushtub Chandas which is an octet.

So if you look at both the poetry and classical music composition:

The rhythm in which it is set is a pulsation of time which confirms to a divine proportion. The raga and the pitch variation is a pulsation of space / frequency which again confirms to a

divine proportion. We did not discuss about ragas though. The words used are divine and we have seen the divinity of the letters and words. The meaning of the song / poem usually exhorts the qualities of the god and hence is divine. The classical music and poetry invoke the subtle divine energy in the aural form just as much the

sculpture (when it confirms to the divine proportion) invokes the subtle energy from in its visualform.

This is how we see that �“one became many�” and binding factors in this process of evolutionbeing the numerals 5 and 8.

Alas! Today, we are the fanatic fans of musicians who lacks morality & humility, who is ignorant of anydivine proportion, most of the music we hear is a cacophony and very mechanical, the words areindecipherable and lacks depth, the meaning of the song if at all any are just suggestive of sexualemotions and nothing else and the dance movements we see are the gyrations of the hip with a greatblend of fitness training exercises associated with it. This is not to negate some of the fine works we seeeven today but to stress that we had such high science and taste which we seems to be losing / lost forno good reason other than ignorance.

27. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 27 �– ARCHITECTURE �–THE ZENITH OF MATHEMATICS (VAASTU)

Just look back in history and see what stands the test of time. Even if a civilization is completely extinctwhat stand beyond their time is the architecture of the civilization which stands tall as a witness to therichness and maturity of the civilization.

Aintiram states that �“Architecture (Space engineering) is the zenith of the mathematics�” in �“

...” This space science is called as Vaastu Sastra in India.

There are few important concepts in Vaastu science which I want to present as below:

The whole world is made up of God�’s particle (Vastu, ) and nothing else. It is this God�’s

particle which actually manifests itself as gross forms (Vaastu, ). You would note that

Vastu (Subtle) has become Vaastu (gross) by addition of letter �“a�” and this difference is reflected

in our languages too. When / become / the subtle becomes gross. Hence the most

important statement for this science is �“Vastur eva Vaastu�”, this means the subtle becomesgross or energy becomes matter or the space becomes earth. This is purely manifestation /evolution and there is no creation. This has nothing to do with religion but supreme science.

Since it is all only one energy and it ever vibrates based on the harmonics and resonance, thisvibration is called life and everything in this world, be it a living being or a non living being as perour current definition �– everything vibrates. The chair you sit and the vehicle you use are allliving beings. Everything throbs with energy and there is nothing which is a non living being inthis universe. Without this vibration there would not be any difference between iron andcotton. The difference between particles is essentially the molecular constitution which is afunction of its elements and its periodicity. This defines presence or absence of quality andsensory perceptions. This was put very nicely by Poet Subramanya Bharathi as

, Where ever you see its just energy.

The above concept is very profound and this is called as Science in our scriptures since it dealswith Knowledge of the space ( , Vin gyan).

By the same concept when a subtle energy which is in the open space is converted to a grossform like a building then this body / building vibrates based on the design specifications and thematerial used for that building. It does not matter what is the measure and what is the materialused, it vibrates. When a structure is created with a divine proportion then we breathe life

into it. Thus the structure becomes a living organism. This is how some of the structure standsthe test of time for thousands of years.

Vaastu is that science which aligns the vibration of the building with the vibration of thedweller in the building so that both the living organisms (the building and the dweller) are inharmony and resonance.

It sounds simple but for this science we need to know includes the vibration pattern of thedweller, mathematics of space engineering, the knowledge of materials and its nature so thatwe can match it up to create harmony. This is precisely what Vaastu as a science does. Again ithas nothing to do with religion. If you Google you would find thousands of Vaastu expertsoutside India who perceive and pursue this as a supreme spatial science.

Let us look at the word �“vas�” which is the root. This means to shine; to grow bright, to bestowby shining upon, becoming light. Vaas is its derivative which means to perfume, an intoxicant,dwelling place, to assume the appearance of matter. This is the root for SriniVAAS,SreeVAASan, VAASam in Tamil means living. Most importantly the ability to feel this subtlething (which cannot be touched) is called VAASanai ( , in Tamil it means smell).

This spatial science includes knowledge on the following:o Nature of soil and material, and the qualities of its energy.o Measures for spatial engineering that best resonates with the environment and the

dweller. Note that the dwelling unit cannot be compatible to all the human beings

universally. This varies with individual to individual and hence the Vaastucompatibility for the house is always seen for the housewife than the man withthe assumption that what is compatible to the lady of the house would suit allothers.

o Accurate calculation of time and the position of astronomical bodies. The timeengineering merges here with the space engineering. Consider the following tounderstand this:

In some temples you would notice that the sunlight falls on the deity on aspecific day / time of the day. This is not possible if the future position ofastronomical bodies at a given time is calculated very accurately.

When we build a house / temple the inauguration ceremony should beconducted at a specific time. So it�’s just not Space Engineering but timeengineering also.

o We see that the concept of space and time are not just a continuum but:

The measures of time and space merge and results in the same unit measurecalled Tala. It is Adi Tala in Poetry, Music and the same measure is used inbuilding and sculpture dimensions.

Space is created because of the pulsation called Time and hence the unit timemeasure (for pulsation) and the unit space measure (result of pulsation) are oneand the same. This means the pulsation causes proportional displacement orcreation of Space.

It is the same concept used in meditation techniques. With Pranayama, Dharanaand Dhyana you control the pulsation and align with it. In Samadhi you stop thepulsation and hence you are beyond time and space and you reach aluminescent state of resonant non vibration.

Hence I named this book as �“Time = Space�”.

We have seen that each subtle unit is represented in 8x8 energy grid and the gross unit is representedin a 9x9 energy grid. Mayan states that �“Each module or pada within the 8x8 / 9x9 structure resonateswith a specific energy. Based on Space, Time, Light, and Sound coordinates the frequency of vibrationhas its unique position in the Space/ Time continuum. This energy level of frequency of vibration iscalled a luminous body or Devata. This devata has particular attributes based upon its position andqualities in the Space/Time continuum (placement among the 64 / 81 sub cubes or padas)�”.

Figure 37: 5 states of 8x8 Energy Grid (Courtesy: Dr. Ganapathi Sthapati)

Now what is evident here in this science is 8 and 5 merges and so does Space and time.

Manifestation occurs in additive values of eight and in 5 stages. You can note that the Bindu(Point) has become 4, then 12, then 20 and then 28. (4+8=12 +8=20+8=28 with a total additivefactor of 64). Manifestation occurs in sequences of five steps known as the Pentadic Order.

The mathematical calculation which gives form to consciousness / space / subtle matter iscalled �“Ayadi Gananam�”. We know that Ganam as the additive process.

Dr. Jessica Marcey in her Fabric of Universe states that:

The subtle energy point in the center becomes a self effulgent energy generator pouring outwaves of energy

becoming a self spinning stabilized structure of four padas / modules then adding eight units of energy to manifest the 4X4 structure of 16 units or modules; then adding another eight units of energy to manifest the 6X6 structure of 36 units or modules; then Adds eight more units culminating in 64 units or modules strung concentrically around the Bindu

point or central generator.

So a central point with 4 concentric square belts around, each has its own frequency, vibration andenergy characteristics evolving into a 9x9 unit as a gross matter. While this knowledge is significant ofitself, when these phenomena are viewed in light of material manifestation as built space inarchitecture, the significance becomes stunning and profound.

Figure 38: 9x9 energy grid with corresponding energy levels for each grid.(Courtesy: Dr. Jessica Marcey, Fabric of the Universe)

So, to sum up this section, we have seen that how every inanimate thing in this universe is still a livingbeing and how with the spatial science we can pump throbbing energy into a building. This is thesupreme science where Time and Space merges. This is the 4th sacred art we talked about which is amanifestation of the visual form of Om.

As you would have noticed I have avoided talking about rituals and rules here but focused on theconcept and philosophy. When we talk about rituals there are very many variations and we get into anunnecessary argument that whether it is rational or superstitious. Since most of the arts have becomecommercialized, the person�’s qualification and his intentions are always questionable.

The objective of this book is to highlight the scientific aspects of the universe in a small way andemphasis that our culture is built on this science. Be it language or arts or religion all are built onscientific facts. They all were nourished and nurtured in thousands of Temples across India which is thecontainer and protector of this subtle science and energy.

Let�’s see some more interesting aspects of this in the next section.

28. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 28 �– CAPTURING THE

DIVINE ENERGY �– SQUARES & CIRCLES

It is told that the sanctorum of Lord Ranganatha�’s temple at Sri Rangam is circle from outside andsquare from inside. Why?

Subtle energy is represented by 8x8 square grid and the perimeter of the square is 4r and thearea of the square is r*r. When each grid length is 1 unit then r = 8, so perimeter is 32 and areaof this square is 64.

Gross energy is represented by 9x9 square grids and with the same measurements perimeter is36 and area of this square is 91.

It has been an architect�’s dream to create and capture subtle energy in a gross structure. This isfundamental objective of spatial engineering. How do you go about to achieve this? It looks that theyfound that they would take the help of a circle either outside the square or inside the square to achievethis. Remember almost every yantra has a square and a circle component in it.

The measurements are so taken such that either the perimeter or the area of both the circle and the 8x8square are matched. Most of the Hindu temples follow such rules to invoke the subtle energy in a grossstructure like temple. This is one of the well kept secrets and this is the reason each and every temple issaid to interact with your subtle body differently when you visit it.

This is why Lord Ranganatha�’s sanctorum in Sri Rangam temple is a circle from outside and squarefrom inside. This secret is called as Squaring a Circle. This is all about to creating divine energies and thisis the science that is implemented in all the Hindu temples which are built as per the Sastra. You needjust basic math knowledge and patience to understand this supreme secret and I shall give below 2techniques to match the area or the perimeter of the circle with that of the 8x8 square.

Perimeter match:

Let�’s look at the image of a circle of unitradius. The area of the large circle is ( r2) andthe circumference is 2 . Here r =1.

Draw 2 circles inside as shown with halfthe radius. The area of each circle is /4 and thecombined area of both the circles is /2. Thecircumference of each circle is and thecombined circumference of both the circlesput together is 2 .

Figure 39: Squaring a Circle (Courtesy: Dr. Robert Lawlor, Sacred Geometry)

Just note that when a larger circle divides itself as 2 smaller circles the area is halved but thecircumference is the same. This gives the first philosophical metaphor that �“One has becometwo which are bipolar yet non dual�”. This is one of the fundamental principles of Advaita andalso in Chinese philosophy. This bipolar non dual force is the basis of life and is represented asmale / female and Yang / Yin.

Now draw 2 arcs NDM and NEM from A�’ and A with the radius as A�’P and AQ as shown in thedotted line. You would note that point D and E would divide the radius of the circle by divineproportion �– 1/ and 1/ 2. Radius of the arc AE is . The Yin Yang symbol is based on thisprinciple which embeds the divine proportion in it.

Now let me draw a square ABCDaround this circle (Fig 40) where the side ofthe square is the diameter of the circlewhich is unit 2. Here OP =1, AB=BC=CD=DA =2. The perimeter of the square is 8 and thearea of the square is 4.

Now draw a circle with O as thecenter and NO as the radius as shown in thefigure. Here NO = . You can take thisfigure as such if you find it difficult to followbut for those who are interested, thederivation to calculate radius �“NO�” is asbelow:

Figure 40: Squaring a Circle 2 (Courtesy: Dr. Robert Lawlor, Sacred Geometry)

o Consider a right angle triangle OPN. We know OP = 1 and PN which is the radius of thearc = . Hence as per Pythagoras theorem PN2 = OP2 + ON2 which is 2 = 1+r2. Let us saythe radius is ON = r.

o So r = ( 2 1). We know is 1.61803399 so r = .

We have got a larger outer circle with a radius and hence the perimeter should be 2 .This is numerically equal to 7.9924576, which is equal to 8. Now we have created a structurewhere a square whose perimeter and a circle whose perimeter are the same. This technique isnot limited to India but used in the same way for pyramid construction.

This is the perimeter match between 8x8 square grids and a circle around it.

Area match:

Vaastu has an easier way to get this done. Draw a circle inside a 9x9 energy grid whose diameteris equal to the side of the square. If each energy grid length is 1 unit, then side of the square is 9units and the radius is 4.5 units.

The area of this circle is r2 where r=4.5 and hence the area of the circle is 63.64 which is almostequal to area of the 8x8 square with unit grid length as 1 unit.

This is the area match between a circle and 8x8 square. So as per Vaastu every building isdivided into 9x9 grid and the energy level of each grid is used to design the living space.

Capturing the direction of Subtle energy flow:

The subtle divine energy flows is as per the diagram given below. It starts from the center and alwaysflows clockwise. That is why Hindus always stick to clockwise flow of movements be in their temples oranywhere else. This clockwise flow of movement is captured in the sacred symbol Swastik. Here 1 is thesource / Moolam, 2 is Kaalam (Time), 3 Seelam (Rhythm), 4 Kolam (Form), 5 (Universe) Gnalam.

Figure 41: Clockwise flow of subtle energy Figure 42: Swastik symbolizing energy flow

Relationship between 2, 3, 5, and :

Now let me draw the connection between 2, 3, 5, and . Understanding this relationship isorgasmic and nothing less. If you think they are all some random numbers which cannot be fixedto their 10th decimal and not related to each other, just see the following relationship.

= 2 x 6/5

Philosophically 6/5 is the relation of a hexagon to a pentagon and the other way to expressthis relationship is

= ( * 5) /( 2* 3).

This goes to prove that we did not just knew the numerals but divine fractions and proportionsincluding their linkages. I am convinced, there is not even an iota of superstition in our templeand idol worship but they are supreme sciences codified and left for our benefits.

The temple of Sri Rangam dates back from Ramayana, which is Treta Yuga that is 800000+ yearsback as per Hindu Scriptures. This is our rich past and supreme science is embedded in ourculture and codified in thousands of temples across nook and corner of the country. Why should

we ignore this? We have a lot more to offer this world which is struggling to understand thenature of nature.

29. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 29 �– HEAVEN &EARTH �– LORD NATARAJA & LORD RANGANATHA

Let�’s stay with Lord Ranganatha and see the relationship between him and Lord Nataraja. Would you besurprised if one is the mirror image of the other? Look at the majestic picture of Lord Nataraja below.Wonder why this is always made in metal and not in wood or earth?

Figure 6 reproduced.

In Pancha bhoota (Space, Air, Fire, Water, Earth) Metal is always associated with Space and Wood isassociated with Air. This system is reflected well in the Chinese system and it was not any different inour Vaastu system either. Since Lord Nataraja signifies Akasha tatva, (Vin porul) he is always made inmetal �– Copper or Gold or Bronze or a mix of it. The statues which were ancient had a generous amountof gold giving a luminescent look about the statues. The art and science of moulding metals to createdivine forms with precise proportion dates back to thousands of years in India and the western expertsthink that this is a recent phenomenon. This is a complete surprise to the western world since theycannot believe that such sophistication existed before.

Dr. Ganapathi states, �“Lord Nataraja also signifies the primal image being expressive of the secret ofcreation in the process of which formless becomes instantaneously endowed with features and of perfectform. This is the reason why the statue of Lord Nataraja is called as Silpa, the primal image andeverything else which is sculpted in this universe is called as Pratima (replica) and the original and oneand only sculpture is the image of Lord Nataraja�”.

Mamuni Mayan states, �“Bhumih pradhana vastu Syat�”, means Earth by virtue of being the very basicsupport of all things, this is the primal and dominant Vastu�”. Earth and space are manifestations of eachother in the cyclical process of evolution. They both should always be considered to be in unison. Thisvibrant, energetic, manifest earth energy (Prithvi Tatva) is called as �‘Vishnu�”.

In Vaastu satra, the Vaastu purusha is Lord Vishnu and understandably Vishnu is invoked as Vaastupurusha in Srirangam temple and offered a seat in the heart of Lord Ranganatha even today as a ritual.

Figure 44: Lord Ranganatha in the reclining pose

Lord Ranganatha represents manifest earth energy (Man porul) and hence is always made out ofseasoned earth only and it should be properly painted too. He is never to be made of metal. This earthform does not support frequent mobility and symbolizes stability and immobility. This is the reasonwhen Vibhishana kept the idol of Lord Ranganatha down at Sri Rangam it could not be moved.

The energy that is in available in every universal form is represented as Vishnu and hence he is called asAntaryami. Once the subtle becomes grosser the vibration is reduced and the grossest form would nothave any creative pulsation in it. It would still have the vibration based on its nature which ensures thatit retains the form and shape. But it does not have any creative pulsation and it has reached the zenithof evolution. This zenith is characterized by Lord Ranganatha in the reclining pose.

The creative pulsation (Space) is the dance and the zenith of manifestation is a reclining posture(Earth).

As we have seen, Lord Nataraja carries Light in his left hand and sound in his right hand. LordRanganatha carries Chakra representing light in the right hand and Conch representing sound in theleft hand. The principle that the primal substance (space) has manifested as the universe (earth) andboth of them are mirror images of each other is reflected in both the images.

In Chinese texts the Yang energy is associated with Heaven and the Yin as earth. Now associate the sameheaven with Shiva, Earth with Vishnu and Tao with the God�’s particle with some of the text below fromLao Tzu�’s �“Tao te Ching�”

�“The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.The name that can be named is not the eternal name.The nameless is the beginning of heaven and Earth.The named is the mother of the ten thousand things.

Something mysteriously formed, Born before heaven and Earth.In the silence and the void, Standing alone and unchanging,Ever present and in motion, Perhaps it is the mother of ten thousand things.I do not know its name. Call it Tao.

Man follows Earth. Earth follows heaven. Heaven follows the Tao.Tao follows what is natural.�”

To sum up in the words of Dr. Ganapathi Sthapati:

Both the temples Chidambaram and Srirangam are south facing temples.

Lord Nataraja signifies Akasha Tatva, outer space, macrocosm, subtle unmanifested energy isthe Vastu purusha, is always in dancing pose, circumscribed in 8x8 square and made of metal.

Lord Ranganatha signifies Prithvi Tatva, inner space, microcosm, manifest gross energy, is theVaastu purusha is always in reclining pose, depicted in a circle or a 9x9 grid and made of earth.

Lord Nataraja represents energy with matter and Lord Ranganatha matter with energy. In theequation E = mc2, Lord Nataraja represents E and Lord Ranganatha represents mc2.

Both these temples are a �‘must see�” and a �“periodic see�” types and you would be amazed thatthe qualitative change in your mental state even if you don�’t pray inside the temple but spendsome time sitting or walking in the premises of the temple.

Both these temples are perfect symbols of ancient science codified for the benefit of thesociety and left for generations withstanding the test of time.

Figure 45: Sri Chakra �– The Supreme shape in sacred Geometry

Chidambaram and Sri Rangam should be ground zero for any lab that wants looks into the secrets ofspace and time as they represent supreme science as much as they represent spirituality. We now seethat science was the basis of our spiritual faith unlike it being 2 completely different aspects todayacross the world.


May we be blessed by the divine power to unravel unknown secrets about the nature!

30. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 30 �– TEMPLES AND

IDOL WORSHIP

Let us forget Hinduism, its symbols and names of god for the time being and consider these aspects aspure science from a nanotechnologist and cosmologist called Mayan.

We have been told that the universe is full of luminescent particles and this particle manifests itselfbecause of the primordial pulsation. We have had a sneak peek into the geometry and the mathematicalproportion which is used in the creation of many things. We know that the universe rhythm confirms toa mathematical code to the extent that we can create divine energies in a temple based on that science.

If time is pulsation of consciousness and if it creates, sustains and destroys everything, then time is thearchitect sculpting the universe and every object in this universe should be a sculpture of time and thisconcept is very beautifully captured in �“Jagat Sarvaram Silpameva�’ meaning the entire universe isnothing more than a shilpa / sculpture (and it latently conveys that Time is the Shilpi).

If all the above things are right then is it not right to say that �“Man created the concept of God�” or�“Man can create divine energy around him�”? Let me sum up my thoughts as below:

The sages and rishis were essentially scientists and understood the secret of nature very well.They were understandably masters in nanotechnology and cosmology.

They knew that �“One thing�” with which they could understand the nature and science of allother things in this universe. This is obviously supported by the mathematical knowledge theyhad.

As per Vedas nothing is created by god including the Vedas, but universe is the manifestation ofgod. They also understood that man is the most evolved of this manifestation. This is why theycreated all the god forms in the image of a man.

Be it language, poetry, classical music, classical dance, sculpture and architecture it was themanifestation of this divinity that was the underlying link. Sacred geometry and sacredproportions were used to generate the subtle energy that took us closer to divine.

Hindu temples were created to capture all these aspects in one place and which could sustain and growfor the benefit of mankind.

Secret of nature heard through the vibrations of Vedas were codified as supreme science andweaved into a philosophy called Sanatana Dharma.

Architecture of temples confirmed to divine proportions and space time engineering wasaccurate to capture sunlight and moon light at the same position for thousands of years. Thedesign of the temple cleaned the subtle energies and points of the human body.

Figure 46: Ganapathi Idol (Courtesy: Dr. Ganapathi Sthapati)The sloka above in Sanskrit gives the measure of different parts of this Idol which would confirm to total64 units (resonance of 8). Hair (3), Face(12), neck(2), Chest(11), Stomach(12), Belly &Pelvis (6), Thigh(6),Knee(3), Legs (6), Feet (3). Total 64 units. Just as much a Sloka with right metre and letters becomes aliving organism, an idol with right proportions becomes a living organism.

Divine Idol forms confirmed to a mathematical proportion that invoked subtle energies withinand around us. This is where the external forms were used to create energies internally to ahuman. This is the basis of idol worship. If it is scientific to create a form with divine energiesbased on mathematical proportion then idol worship is the supreme proof for that science.

This supreme mathematical law is called as Dharma (nature�‘s law) and the unfolding of thatlaw is the Karmic theory of cause and effect / law of karma.

Poetry, classical music and classical dance are intimately linked to this Hindu temple culture. AdiTala and octaves were used to create subtle energies in poetry using words, and the same talamaana is used in classical music with rhythm and raga, in classical dance with light and soundand in sculpture as a visual form.

Figure 47: Human body as a representation of a temple(Courtesy: http://www.salagram.net/sstp mgpuja3.html )

A Hindu temple is a divine and yogic representation of a human being with the Deity in the templerepresenting the God as indweller in humans and all beings. In a temple the feet represents Rajagopura,the hands represent Praakaara, the abdomen represent Mandapa, the heart represents Antaraala and thecrown of the head represents the sanctum sanctorum (garbha griha). The temple is used as a reminderthat our inner spiritual journey is through internal yoga to realize the indweller God. This analogy is shownthrough the representation of various chakras namely Moolaadhara to Sahasraara in the body to variouslocations in the temple.

It may be of interest to note that the same harmonics of 8 are reflected in every other domain.For example, if you have been practicing Pranayama then your master would have asked you topractice breathing based on some counts. The most popular counts are 6(inhale), 3 (Exhale) or7(inhale), 2 (Exhale). If you notice this count 9, this cleans up your gross body. AdvancedPranayam students may be asked to stick to 1 (Inhale), 4 (Retain), 2(Exhale), 2(Retain outside) oras a variation 1,4,2,1 or 1,3,2,2. The counts which add up to 8 clean the subtle body.

Till few decades back the fundamental dimension for money in India was �“Ana�” called as EightAnas ( ) and this was equivalent to Rs. 0.5 as the fundamental measure.

Thus a �“Poetry is an idol in aural form and a building is a frozen music�”. A Poet by the way ofhis mental frequency has first become the poem itself and then the actual poem was created inits aural form and an artist by the same frequency has become the idol first and then he gave ashape to the idol externally through this hands. This is very beautifully given as �“Raso vai saha,So Vai rasikaha�”, which means he (god) is the enjoyer and he is the artist.

All of this reflects the supreme philosophy that �“Oneness in all and everything is just amanifestation of that one thing�”.

Now in this light understand the meaning of this Upanishad prayer, �“Aum PoornamadahPoornamidam Poornaath Poornam Udachyathe, Poornasya PoornamaadaayaPoornameva Vasishyathe�”. This means God is perfect (infinite). This Universe is also perfect(infinite). If perfection (infinity) is taken from anything perfect (infinite) what remains is stillperfect (infinite). Isn�’t this is the actual reality today?

Everything scientific is philosophically, mythological and ritually well interwoven that provesthat Sanatana Dharma is the most ancient and supreme representation of science and nature�’ssecret in our possession. Our temple worship which integrates all this science, 5 sacred arts withlanguage and Math is the standing example of our understanding of the nature of god.

Figure 47: Layout of Sri Rangam temple with 7 Prakaras

It is the same Sugarcane but an elephant eats it from the field directly, a young adult peels the skin offand chews it, if a kid has to eat then someone has to peel the skin and cut it into pieces and an old manwithout teeth needs it to be made as sugarcane juice. Depending on one�’s ability to chew and digest thefood has to be processed.

Same way depending on one�’s mental ability to grasp the supreme truth it has to be processed andpresented. If someone is mentally well evolved then they can be fed with Upanishads and he canmeditate on the formless Brahman. To a young adult Upanishads may not be palatable directly but theymay have to start with Upavedas and Vedangas to mature to a higher level. For the less evolved kids,Itihasa and Purana like Ramayana and Mahabharata with stories may drive home the point and they canstart with Shlokas and mantras. But for the least evolved it has to start with a personal deity with nameand form, bhajans and songs to invoke the concept of Bhakthi.

In all the four cases temple culture forms the lowest common denominator. Even the most evolvedrelish the arts and architecture in the temples. We should be proud of our rich cultural and scientific

heritage and be passionate about the science and philosophy and be rational about rituals andsymbolisms.

Image / Idol worship is not deplorable or despicable. This is the highest scientific form of worshipwhich enables us to see face to face the one which is beyond reach of sight and speech. This kindlesdevotion, community development and helps one to climb the steep walls of spirituality in the initialstages. Every religion in this world has some image or idol as symbolism to achieve this objective.

An idol is a god in form when made with the science of divine proportion and seasoned material is thehighest product of our intelligence till today.

It should however be noted that this idol worship should not be lost in the din of rituals which does notreflect the very philosophy it had come to symbolize. So the advice I follow is �“Be passionate about ourculture but be rational about the rituals.�”

The advancement of science can progress rapidly when the western scientists who are objective andempirical, partner with the pundits in India and learn the science of the subtle from our scriptures andtemples. For this to happen we need to learn our own scriptures and past which is not possible withoutlearning our mother tongue and Sanskrit. Else in the near future we may have to import knowledge ofour culture and rich past from the western world.

31. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 31 �–MAYAN & HIS

WORKS

Mahamuni Mayan was the father in law of Demon King Ravana and is referred in both Mahabharataand Ramayana. He is attributed with building the palace for Yudhishtar in Indraprasta and also thearchitect for Sri Lanka which Ravana ruled. His son Nalan helped Lord Rama build the Ramasethu �– thebridge between India and Sri Lanka. He is believed to have lived in the Ilamuridesam popularly known asLemuria continent (Kumari Kandam) which spanned 4500+ kms from Sri Lanka to Antartica connectingcurrent Australia, Africa and Americas. Check out http://www.sacred texts.com/atl/tll/index.htm

Understandably when this land mass was consumed by the sea their clan moved to different parts of theworld including Guatemala, Egypt, and to current south Indianregion. This explains as to how we find common science acrossIndia, South America and Egypt.

He has written books in both Sanskrit and Tamil and I am goingto produce the list of technical works he has created and lookat the contents of a specific book called Surya Siddhanta. Justthe list of works and also the topics in Surya Siddhanta isamazing, highlighting the depth of science we had at that time.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZKiCpFisoY

Figure 48: Kumari Kandam depiction

The Surya SiddhantaThe most ancient treatise on Astronomy is a treatise authored by Mayan. It is called The SuryaSiddhanta. Included in this treatise are the following chapter topics following:

The Motions of the Planets The Places of the Planets Direction, Place and Time The Moon and Eclipses The Sun and Eclipses The Projection of Eclipses Planetary Conjunctions Conjunction of the Stars Risings and Settings The Moon�’s Risings and Settings Certain Malignant Aspects of the Sun and Moon Cosmogony, Geography, and Dimensions of the Creation The Gnomon The Movement of the Heavens and Human Activity

Figure 49: Mamumi Mayan

Mayan is also attributed with the start and spread of Temple culture in India. The song below in Tamilstates that since Mayan sat under the Banyan tree and taught this science of universe and also of thesacred arts, so that every town was endowed with Temples for social betterment. Because he was fromthe southern region and also he sat under the Banyan tree, he is also equated with LordDakshinamoorthy.

!!

The Mayan says in his Pranava Veda verse one:�“Om Light and Om Sound are the Primal Source of all manifest forms. Om Light is aroused by its owneffort in a state of disorder and appears as a flame. The state of Om Light and Om Sound in Space is amagnificent luminous six �– faced Light form that is called �“murukoli�”. The transformation of Om Lightand Om Sound through the five stages is concealed in the five fold knowledge, of which, this is the first.This process of transformation of disorderly Om Light and Om Sound into orderliness is found in all fivefold material forms.�”

Sage Veda Vyasa says in the Bhagavatam, �“eka eva pura vedo pranavha sarva vangmayha�” (9thskandha, 14th chapter, sloka 48 of Bhagavatam). This means that there was only one Veda calledPranava Veda. It is believed that Sage Vyasa created 4 vedas from this Veda since he believed that theoncoming generations would not have the mental strength to master everything.

Technical works

The following are technical works written by Mayan and represent the 12 vowels of the Tamil language:

Ovia Chennool Treatise on Drafting and Painting Sirpama Chenool Treatise on Iconometry Kattida Chennool Treatise on Architecture Nilamanai Chennool Treatise on House Building based on quality of land Manainila Chennool Treatise on Land based on the nature of house building Baniyal Chenool Treatise on Astro Physics Perunata Chenool Treatise on Divine dance Muligai Chenool Treatise on Herbs Ganitama Chenool Treatise on Mathematics Arakkala Chenool Treatise on Ship Building Vinkala Chennool Treatise on Space Ship Elisai Chennool Treatise on Science of Music

MAYAN, in Aintiram states that:"There exists an order in the Universe subtle universe, and material universe. This power is attributed tothe consciousness of the cosmic space as well as of the inner space of the animate beings. Thisconsciousness, by its personal effort to express its own inner feelings, causes a kind of vibration orpulsation in the inner space, resulting in energy grids. The vibration or pulsation, being the causalelement of all these events, is called KAALA. This is actually the force of energy aroused by the innerconsciousness, causing waves and contributing to the growth of living forms. This KAALA resides in allliving beings. So, space is the offshoot of the vibration of the primordial energy. This is how the spacewas born. All forms of nature are manifest forms of subtle energy. For all to get manifested, the force isKAALAM. This wave form frequency realm is the creative element of the universe."

There is no other treatise that we have in our possession today which is dated 10000 BC that depicts thesecret of nature so explicitly and gives the unmanifested interconnections and mathematicalproportions between everything in the universe.

As Dr. Ganapathi Sthapati rues �“Unfortunately most of the Tamil experts don�’t understand the science inthese texts and hence these books are idling without anyone extracting the truths from it�”. In the nextfew generations when we are less equipped in our own mother tongue we may lose this treasurecompletely just like the many we have lost so far.

Hence the first step we need to ensure is even if you are not equipped well in your mother tongueplease make sure that your kids can read and write it well. This becomes our most important duty. And Ifind it worrisome when someone is indifferent to the fact that they can understand their mother tonguebut cannot read and write.

With some significant efforts we can and we should prove that this man who said, �“Indians are the mostignorant about their rich past and scientific traditions.�” is not wise any more.

32. TIME = SPACE SERIES. PART 32 �– CONCLUSION

What I have understood in a nutshell is as follows:

The inner being of both the individual and the universe is luminescent consciousness which hasthe ability to become aware of it. This luminescent consciousness is called by various names butit is essentially the only existent Vastu in this world. This Vastu manifests itself as time, spaceand spatial forms.

�“Aanor aniyaan mahato Mahiyaan!�” this means what is in the atom is the same makes up theuniverse. That which is present in the atom is the Space energy and the meaning of the wordAkasa is stated as �“Aa kashayati aakasa ha!, That which imparts light to others or make othersshine is called Akasa�”. This means that Space Vastu is luminescent. I am stressing the aspect ofluminescent again and again for you to start perceiving God as light.

Pranava is the causal element which triggers this evolution process and this manifests as visualand aural forms. Pranava results in the primordial pulsation and this pulsation is triggered andsustained by a divine progression and proportion which is called Absolute time.

Absolute time creates Absolute Space. These 4 things �– Absolute time, absolute space, AuralPranava and Visual Pranava combine together to form spatial forms and hence this universe.

The Vastu as God�’s particle, its characteristics, the Pranava, the pulsation, the rhythm, theprogression, its proportion and the resultant energy states �– all the scientific facts, theories andprocesses are captured and codified as a Dharma which is called as Hinduism today. The sciencebehind this subtle energy is reflected in various art forms that includes Poetry, Classical music,dance, Sculpture and building architecture.

All these manifestations are harmonics of 5 and 8 differentiated by the Golden proportion /God�’s ratio to reflect the various states of consciousness. This intrinsic order is called Dharmaand the cyclic nature of this evolution is the Karmic code embedded in the universe. Nothingin this universe is superior to the Dharma and Karmic code.

The divinity manifests in us and the space within us is nothing different from the macrocosm.Consciousness which exhibits itself as a state of being because of our mental vibration canevolve to a higher plane to devolve back into the luminescent core.

Sanatana Dharma popularly today known as Hinduism is the repository of this supreme secretnot just as a philosophy but integrated with every stage of our life. This can be understoodbetter only if we can give due respect and attention to the language and scriptures, our spiritualtradition interwoven with arts and architecture that contains these treasures.

The temple culture & Idol worship that we have symbolizes the best of science known to humanbeings and we need to understand this and preserve this in the best possible manner.

She is the Goddess of speech,music and knowledge. Shecarries the rosary beads(akshamala) represents thealphabets of a language(Sanskrit), the musicalinstrument (Veena) and Vedasas palm leaf manuscript in herhands that denotes theknowledge. Thus we can seethat idol worship signifiesdeeper scientific aspects of acommon root betweenLanguage, Music, knowledgeand arts.

I am happy to note the coincidence that this book has 32 chapters with 108 pages �– both being keyuniversal numerals. Chapter 19 (the golden mean of this book) deals with the Golden mean or God�’sratio of nature is again coincidental.

I would like to thank you for reading this book. I would like to state that I am neither adept in any of thetopics discussed in this book nor an expert in any of the arts including the languages Tamil or Sanskritlanguage.

A curious mind driven by my passion to understand the underlying aspect in all things and my liking toreading has helped me to compile this book. My exposure as a student to Chinese martial arts, Indianyogic studies, Pranic healing and Siddha philosophy helped me to connect of the points I had articulated.Any authoritative statements in these books reflect my belief in the topic or from the author / teacherfrom whom I subscribed it and it is certainly not reflective of my abilities.

I am open to constructive criticisms on any of the topics and I can be reached at the mail ID shared inthe first page of this book. My only request to you is �“Please share this book or parts of this bookwithout any hesitation to your friends and family and help us dispel the ignorance about rich ancientIndian culture�”.

I shall end this book with some of my favorite quotes of Dr. Einstein.

�“My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in theslight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind. That deep emotional conviction ofthe presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, formsmy idea of God. We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us.�”

Satyam Param Deemahi!May we meditate on the supreme truth!
