SCIENCE OF CONSCIOUSNESS,MIND,SPIRIT,FIVE ELEMENTS,MANY EARTH,UNIVERSE

IS THIS EVOLUTION OR INVOLUTION -
Human Devolution: A Vedic Alternative to Darwin's TheoryPer  Darwinian account that humans like us came into existence about 100,000 years ago,from apelike ancestors. But the Vedic literature gives us another account of human origins worth discussing.In fact Humans or for any creatures do not evolve from one another or from lower to higher species but come down from spirit.
Per Puranas, bhagvatpurana etc,all creatures including humans have existed on earth for vast periods of cyclical time. The basic unit of this cyclical time is the day of Brahma, which lasts for 4.32 billion years. The day of Brahma is followed by a night of Brahma, lasts for 4.32 billion years. The days follow the nights endlessly and vice versa. According to the Puranic cosmological calendar, the current day of Brahma began about 2 billion years ago. One of the forefathers of humankind, Svayambhuva Manu ruled during that time, and the Bhagavata Purana (Shrimad Bhagavatam 6.4.1) explains that-: “The human beings  were created during the reign of Svayambhuva Manu.” Therefore, a Vedic archeologist might expect to find evidence for a human presence going that far back in time. In a book by Michael A. Cremo- Forbidden Archeology, coauthored by Richard L. Thompson (Sadaputa Dasa) documented extensive evidence, in the form of human skeletons, human footprints, and human artifacts, showing that humans like ourselves have inhabited the earth for hundreds of millions of years, just as the Puranas tell us. This evidence is not very well known because of a process of knowledge filtration that operates in the scientific world. Evidence that contradicts the Darwinian theory of human evolution is set aside, ignored, and eventually forgotten.
In a book by Michael Cremeo-Human Devolution,evolution/devolution is explaned based on information found in the Puranas.
Before we ask the question, “Where did human beings come from?” we should first of all ask the question, “What is a human being?” Today most scientists believe that a human being is simply a combination of matter, the ordinary chemical elements. This assumption limits the kinds of explanations that can be offered for human origins.Human being is composed of three separately existing substances: matter, mind, and consciousness (or spirit). This assumption widens the circle of possible explanations.
What is MIND? a subtle material substance associated with the human organism and capable of acting on ordinary matter in ways we cannot explain by our current laws of physics. Evidence for this mind element comes from scientific research into the phenomena called by some “paranormal” or “psychical.” Here we are led into the hidden history of physics (the knowledge filtering process also operates in this field of knowledge).
We all know about  work of Pierre and Marie Curie, the husband and wife team who both received Nobel Prizes for their work in discovering radium. What we do not read in the textbooks is that the Curies were heavily involved in psychical research, were part of a  group of prominent European scientists, including other Nobel Prize winners, who were jointly conducting research into the paranormal in Paris early in the twentieth century. For two years, the group studied the Italian medium Eusapia Palladino. Historian Anna Hurwic notes in her biography of Pierre Curie (1995, p. 247), “He saw the séances as scientific experiments, tried to monitor the different parameters, took detailed notes of every observation. He was really intrigued by Eusapia Palladino.” About some séances with Eusapia, Pierre Curie wrote to physicist Georges Gouy in a letter dated July 24, 1905: “We had at the Psychology Society a few séances with the medium Eusapia Palladino. It was very interesting, and truly those phenomena that we have witnessed seemed to us to not be some magical tricks—a table lifted four feet above the floor . . . All this in a room arranged by us, with a small number of spectators all well known and without the presence of a possible accomplice.” Pierre Curie reported that on such occasions, the medium was carefully physically controlled by the scientists present. On April 14, 1906, Pierre wrote to Gouy about some further investigations he and Marie had carried out: “We had a few new ‘séances’ with Eusapia Paladina (We already had séances with her last summer). The result is that those phenomena exist for real, and I can’t doubt it any more.
Such results, and many more like them from the hidden history of physics, suggest there is associated with the human organism a mind element that can act on ordinary matter in ways we cannot easily explain by our current physical laws.
Now another evidence of energy of Mind and existnace of subtle mind- Chi Master Puts Animals To Sleep By Channeling His Energy. A True Super-Human-WATCH--

Evidence for a conscious self that can existence apart from mind (subtle matter) and ordinary matter comes from medical reports of out of body experiences (OBEs). During traumatic events such as heart attacks, blood stops flowing to the brain, and the subjects become unconscious. But some subjects report separating from their bodies at such times. They report consciously observing their own bodies. The reality of such experiences has been confirmed by medical researchers. For example, in February 2001, a team from the University of Southampton, in the United Kingdom, published a favorable study on OBEs in cardiac arrest patients in the journal Resuscitation (v. 48, pp. 149–156). The team was headed by Dr. Sam Parnia, a senior research fellow at the university. On February 16, 2001, a report published on the university’s web site said that the work of Dr. Parnia “suggests consciousness and the mind may continue to exist after the brain has ceased to function and the body is clinically dead.” This is exactly the Vedic conception. At death the conscious self leaves the body, accompanied by the subtle material covering of the mind, and then enters another body of gross matter. Memories from past lives are recorded in the mind, and may be accessed by the conscious self in its new body made of gross matter, as shown by psychiatrist Ian Stevenson’s extensive studies verifying past life memories of children.

If the human organism is composed of gross matter, mind, and consciousness (or spirit), it is natural to suppose that these elements come from reservoirs of such elements. This suggests that the cosmos is divided into regions, or levels, of gross matter, mind, and consciousness, each inhabited by beings adapted to life there. First, there is a region of pure consciousness. Consciousness, as we experience it, is individual and personal. This suggests that the original source of conscious selves is also individual and personal. So in addition to the individual units of consciousness existing in the realm of pure consciousness, there is also an original conscious being who is their source. When the fractional conscious selves give up their connection with their source, they are placed in lower regions of the cosmos predominated by either subtle material substance (mind) or gross material substance. There is thus a cosmic hierarchy of conscious beings. Accounts of this cosmic hierarchy of beings can be found not only in the Puranas but in the cosmologies of many other cultures. The cosmologies share many features. They generally include an original God inhabiting a realm of pure consciousness, a subordinate creator god inhabiting a subtle material region of the cosmos along with many kinds of demigods and demigoddesses, an earthly realm, dominated by gross matter, inhabited by humans like us.

This suggests that the universe of our experience should show signs that it was designed by a higher intelligence for accommodating human life and other forms of life. Modern cosmology does provide evidence for this. Scientists have discovered that numbers representing fundamental physical constants and ratios of natural forces appear to be finely tuned for life to exist in our universe. Astronomer Sir Martin Rees considers six of these numbers to be especially significant. In his book Just Six Numbers (2000, pp. 3–4), he says, “These six numbers constitute a ‘recipe’ for a universe. Moreover, the outcome is sensitive to their values: if any one of them were to be ‘untuned’, there would be no stars and no life
The Vedic cosmology also speaks of many universes, but all of them are designed for life, and beyond all of these material universes, with their levels of gross and subtle matter, is the level of pure consciousness, or spirit. Originally, we exist there as units of pure consciousness in harmonious connection with the supreme conscious being, known by the Sanskrit name Krishna (and by other names in other religious traditions). When we give up our willing connection with that supreme conscious being, we descend to regions of the cosmos dominated by the subtle and gross material elements, mind and matter. Forgetful of our original position, we attempt to dominate and enjoy the subtle and gross material elements. For this purpose, we are provided with bodies made of the subtle and gross material elements. The subtle material body is made up not only of mind, but of the even finer material elements, intelligence and false ego (for the sake of simplicity, I have in this discussion collapsed them into mind). The gross material body is made of earth, water, fire, air, and ether. Bodies made of these gross and subtle material elements are vehicles for conscious selves. They are designed for existence within the realms of the subtle and gross material elements. According to their degree of forgetfulness of their original nature, conscious selves receive appropriate bodily coverings. Those who are more forgetful receive bodies that cover their original consciousness to a greater degree. The original conscious being in the Vedic universe (aside from God) is Brahma, the first demigod. His body, manifested directly from Vishnu (the expansion of Krishna who controls the material universe), is made primarily of the subtle material elements. He is tasked with manifesting bodies for the other conscious selves existing at various levels of the cosmic hierarchy. From the body of Brahma come great sages, sometimes known as his mental sons, and also the first sexually reproducing pair, Svayambhuva Manu and his consort Shatarupa. The daughters of Manu become the wives of some of the sages, and they produce generations of demigods and demigoddesses, with bodies composed primarily of the subtle material energy. These demigods and demigoddesses, by their reproductive processes, produce the forms of living things, including humans, who reside on our earth planet.

In the devolution process, our original pure spiritual consciousness is covered by layers of subtle and gross material elements. But the process can be reversed. There is a kind of re-evolution by which we can free consciousness from its coverings, and restore it to its original pure state. Every great spiritual tradition has some means for accomplishing this—some form of prayer, or meditation, or yoga. In the course of chanting mantras, praying, or meditating, the covering elements are spiritualized and removed, so that one gradually comes back in touch with the original source of all conscious beings.

Vedic Discoveries: Krsna and Balarama in Greece — Dionysus — Herakles


In the early centuries preceding and succeeding the Christian era, the entry of foreign tribes into India produced a favourable impact on the cults of Vaisnvaite and Saivite divinities, which, on the whole, enjoyed the support of the foreigners. The Greeks identified Krsna with Herakles and Sankarsana with Dionysos, and it is no wonder that they were favourably inclined to their worship. The Besnagar inscription describes the Greek ambassador Heliodorus as a Bhagavata who dedicated a Garuda banner to Lord Vasudeva.
The earliest epigraphic evidence for the existence of the Bhagavata cult is found in Madhya Pradesh. The discovery of the Garuda pillar inscription of Besnagar is a landmark in the history of Bhagavatism. The inscription records the erection of a Garuda standard in honour of Vasudeva, the god of gods, by a Greek ambassador Heliodorus who describes himself as a Bhagavata (see Heliodorus Column), and a resident of Taksasila. The ambassador came from the Greek king Antialcidis to Kautsiputra Bhagabhadra identified with the fifth Sunga king, and the record is dated in the fourteenth year of his reign, approximating to c. 113 B.C."

VEDIC ROOTS OF EARLY TAMIL CULTURE



Based on conference organized by Naimisha Foundation at Bangalore on March 12-13, 2001, and at the National Seminar on Origins of United Vedic Culture organized by Pragna Bharati and sponsored by the Indian Council of Historical Research at Hyderabad on March 17-18, 2001.
In recent years attempts have been made to cast a new look at ancient India. For too long the picture has been distorted by myopic colonial readings of India�s prehistory and early history, and more recently by ill-suited Marxist models. One such distortion was the Aryan invasion theory, now definitively on its way out, although its watered-down avatars are still struggling to survive. It will no doubt take some more time�and much more effort on the archaeological front�for a new perspective of the earliest civilization in the North of the subcontinent to take firm shape, but a beginning has been made.

We have a peculiar situation too as regards Southern India, and particularly Tamil Nadu. Take any classic account of Indian history and you will see how little space the South gets in comparison with the North. While rightly complaining that �Hitherto most historians of ancient India have written as if the south did not exist,�[ 1]Vincent Smith in his Oxford History of India hardly devotes a few pages to civilization in the South, that too with the usual stereotypes to which I will return shortly. R.�C. Majumdar�s Advanced History of India,[2] or A.�L. Basham�s The Wonder That Was India[3] are hardly better in that respect. The first serious History of South India,[4] that of K.�A. Nilakanta Sastri, appeared only in 1947. Even recent surveys of Indian archaeology generally give the South a rather cursory treatment.

The Context
It is a fact that archaeology in the South has so far unearthed little that can compare to findings in the North in terms of ancientness, massiveness or sophistication�: the emergence of urban civilization in Tamil Nadu is now fixed at the second or third century BC, about two and a half millennia after the appearance of Indus cities. Moreover, we do not have any fully or largely excavated city or even medium-sized town�: Madurai, the ancient capital of the Pandya kingdom, has hardly been explored at all�; Uraiyur, that of the early Cholas, saw a dozen trenches�;[5] Kanchipuram, the Pallavas� capital, had seventeen, and Karur, that of the Cheras, hardly more�; Kaveripattinam,[6] part of the famous ancient city of Puhar (the first setting of the Shilappadikaram epic), saw more widespread excavations, yet limited with regard to the potential the site offers. The same may be said of Arikamedu (just south of Pondicherry), despite excavations by Jouveau-Dubreuil, Wheeler, and several other teams right up to the 1990s.[7]

All in all, the archaeological record scarcely measures up to what emerges from the Indo-Gangetic plains�which is one reason why awareness of these excavations has hardly reached the general public, even in Tamil Nadu�; it has heard more about the still superficial exploration of submerged Poompuhar than about the painstaking work done in recent decades at dozens of sites. (See a map of Tamil Nadu�s important archaeological sites below.)

But there is a second reason for this poor awareness�: scholars and politicians drawing inspiration from the Dravidian movement launched by E.�V. Ramaswamy Naicker (�Periyar�) have very rigid ideas about the ancient history of Tamil Nadu. First, despite all evidence to the contrary, they still insist on the Aryan invasion theory in its most violent version, turning most North Indians and upper-caste Indians into descendants of the invading Aryans who overran the indigenous Dravidians, and Sanskrit into a deadly rival of Tamil. Consequently, they assert that Tamil is more ancient than Sanskrit, and civilization in the South older than in the North. Thus recently, Tamil Nadu�s Education minister decried in the State Assembly those who go �to the extent of saying that Dravidian civilization is part of Hinduism� and declared, �The Dravidian civilization is older than the Aryan.�[8] It is not uncommon to hear even good Tamil scholars utter such claims.

Now, it so happens that archaeological findings in Tamil Nadu, though scanty, are nevertheless decisive. Indeed, we now have a broad convergence between literary, epigraphic and archaeological evidence.[9] Thus names of cities, kings and chieftains mentioned in Sangam literature have often been confirmed by inscriptions and coins dating back to the second and third centuries BC. Kautilya speaks in his Arthashastra (c. fourth century BC) of the �easily travelled southern land route,� with diamonds, precious stones and pearls from the Pandya country�;[10] two Ashokan rock edicts (II and XIII[11]) respectfully refer to Chola, Pandya and Chera kingdoms as �neighbours,� therefore placing them firmly in the third century BC�; we also have Kharavela�s cave inscription near Bhubaneswar in which the Kalinga king (c. 150 BC) boasts of having broken up a �confederacy of the Dravida countries which had lasted for 113 years.�[12] From all these, it appears that the earliest Tamil kingdoms must have been established around the fourth century BC�; again, archaeological findings date urban developments a century or two later, but this small gap will likely be filled by more extensive excavations. But there�s the rub�: beyond the fourth century BC and back to 700 or 1000 BC, all we find is a megalithic period, and going still further back, a neolithic period starting from about the third millennium BC. While those two prehistoric periods are as important as they are enigmatic, they show little sign of a complex culture,[*] and no clear connection with the dawn of urban civilization in the South.

Therefore the good minister�s assertion as to the greater ancientness of the �Dravidian civilization� finds no support on the ground. In order to test his second assertion that that civilization is outside Hinduism, or the common claim that so-called �Dravidian culture� is wholly separate from so-called �Aryan� culture, let us take an unbiased look at the cultural backdrop of early Tamil society and try to make out some of its mainstays. That is what I propose to do briefly, using not only literary evidence, but first, material evidence from archaeological and numismatic sources as regards the dawn of the Sangam age. I may add that I have left out the Buddhist and Jain elements, already sufficiently well known, to concentrate on the Vedic and Puranic ones, which are usually underemphasized. Also, I will not deal here with the origin of South Indian people and languages, or with the nature of the process often called �Aryanization of the South� (I prefer the word �Indianization,� used in this context by an archaeologist[13]). Those complex questions have been debated for decades, and will only reach firm conclusions, I believe, with ampler archaeological evidence.

VEDIC CIVILIZATION--NATURAL HISTORY

Unique conditions at the end of the Ice Age gave rise to agriculture in Southeast Asia. Its spread to India made the Vedic civilization possible.
By Navaratna Rajaram
Gift from Southeast Asia
Seven hundred years ago, Zhou Daguan, the envoy of the Chinese Emperor Khubilai Khan stationed at the court of Indravarman III (1295 - 1307) at Angkor, noted an unusual natural phenomenon. During the months from July to November, when the Mekong is in full spate, the Tonle Sap, its major tributary in Cambodia, reverses direction and flows back into a natural reservoir also called Tonle Sap ('Great Lake').
The reason for this is the impact of the mighty Mekong. The floodwater flow resulting from the combination of the summer monsoon and melting glaciers is so great that the Mekong overflows into the Tonle Sap channel, pushing it backwards into the lake. The lake more than doubles in size, making Tonle Sap the largest freshwater lake in Asia. When the hot season ends, the river reverses direction again and resumes its normal southward flow. The lake level also falls.

Zhou Daguan recorded that this seasonal rise and fall in the water level allowed local farmers and fishermen to harvest a variety of 'floating rice' that grew in the lake. It is a fast growing variety that germinates in deep water and grows as much 4 inches in a single day, eventually reaching a length of 20 feet. The rice always stays on the surface because its rate of growth parallels the rate at which the lake rises. It gives a clue as to how rice cultivation began, launching the agricultural revolution. Genetic studies show that the oldest rice species are found in the monsoon belt from the Brahmaputra to the Mekong, which includes the Tonle Sap. Wet rice cultivation was the result of humans copying this extraordinary phenomenon, in which irrigation and transplanting occurred naturally.
This forces us to revise the long held view that the agricultural revolution began in the so-called 'Fertile Crescent' in West Asia some 8000 years ago. R.E and E.H Huke of the International Rice Research Institute observe that recent archaeological evidence in North Thailand "when viewed in conjunction with plant remains from 10,000 B.C. discovered in Spirit Cave on the Thailand-Myanmar border, suggests that agriculture itself may be older than was previously thought."(AND HISTORIAN IN PAST THOUGHT WORLD STARTED 5000 YEARS AGO AND BIBILICAN STORY TELLS ADAM AND EVE-LAUGHABLE)
The Mekong - Tonle Sap system where agriculture may have been born.
Climatic conditions at northern latitudes were unsuitable for agriculture: they were cold and arid and could not support large populations. This rules out the Fertile Crescent as the birthplace of agriculture. Natural history and archaeology both indicate that the agricultural revolution began 12,000 years ago in tropical Asia. The Tonle Sap region in Cambodia is the likeliest location.
Out of the Ice Age
Agricultural revolution was what made civilization possible. To arrive at a reasonable date for the rise of civilization, we need to know when climatic conditions turned favorable for the growth and harvesting of wild species, especially rice- the first crop to be cultivated. This happened when humans learnt to simulate under artificial conditions, as near lakes and river deltas, the natural phenomenon occurring at Tonle Sap. Post Ice Age natural history helps shed light on it.

The Ice Age ended nearly 15,000 years ago, not in one fell swoop but in fits and starts with at least two mini ice ages known as the Older Dryas and the Younger Dryas. Present conditions were reached about 10,000 years ago. Since then, the world climate has been stable. There have been fluctuations of course, but nothing like the changes that engulfed the world from 18,000 to 11,000 years ago. During the Ice Age, most of the freshwater was locked in the Himalayan glaciers. This had to end before nature could create condition so that species like the Tonle Sap 'floating rice' could blossom forth.
During the Ice Age, the great Himalayan rivers from the Indus to the Mekong either did not exist or were minor seasonal flows that could at best support small populations that subsisted by hunting, fishing and food gathering. The monsoon was also weak because low temperatures meant less evaporation. Population centers were mainly in the tropics, in tropical Asia and Africa. These were concentrated in the Savannahs in Africa and by lakes and coastal regions in India and Southeast Asia.
Communication between India and Southeast Asia was mainly by sea. Maritime activity was facilitated by the fact that during the Ice Age sea levels were nearly 400 feet lower than they are today. South Indian and Southeast Asian land mass was greater in extent and easier to navigate. A vast subcontinent, known as Sunda Land, larger than India, was submerged when sea levels rose as the Ice Age ended. These tropical lands, and not the temperate regions at higher latitudes like the Fertile Crescent were where agriculture began. This is a scientific fact.

Vedic Origins of the Zodiac - The Hymns of Dirghatamas in the Rig Veda

Vedic Origins of the Zodiac - The Hymns of Dirghatamas in the Rig Veda
By David Frawley
 
Some scholars have claimed that the Babylonians invented the zodiac of 360 degrees around 700 BCE, perhaps even earlier. Many claim that India received the knowledge of the zodiac from Babylonia or even later from Greece. However, as old as the Rig Veda, the oldest Vedic text, there are clear references to a chakra or wheel of 360 spokes placed in the sky. The number 360 and its related numbers like 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 108, 432 and 720 occur commonly in Vedic symbolism. It is in the hymns of the great Rishi Dirghatamas (RV I.140 – 164) that we have the clearest such references.
Dirghatamas is one of the most famous Rig Vedic Rishis. He was the reputed purohit or chief priest of King Bharata (Aitareya Brahmana VIII.23), one of the earliest kings of the land, from which India as Bharata (the traditional name of the country) was named.
Dirghatamas was one of the Angirasa Rishis, the oldest of the Rishi families, and regarded as brother to the Rishi Bharadvaja, who is the seer of the sixth book of the Rig Veda. Dirghatamas is also the chief predecessor of the Gotama family of Rishis that includes Kakshivan, Gotama, Nodhas and Vamadeva (seer of the fourth book of the Rig Veda), who along with Dirghatamas account for almost 150 of the 1000 hymns of the Rig Veda. His own verses occur frequently in many Vedic texts, a few even in the Upanishads.
The hymns of Dirghatamas speak clearly of a zodiac of 360 degrees, divided in various ways, including by three, six and twelve, as well as related numbers of five and seven. We must remember that the zodiac is first of all a mathematical division of the heavens such as this hymn outlines. This is defined mainly according to the elements, qualities and planetary rulerships of the twelve signs. The symbols we ascribe to these twelve divisions is a different factor that can vary to some degree. The actual stars making up the constellation that goes along with the sign is yet a third factor. For example, some constellations are less or more than thirty degrees, but the mathematical or harmonic division of each sign will only be thirty degrees. What is important about the hymns of Dirghatamas is that he shows the mathematical basis of such harmonic divisions of a zodiac of 360 degrees.
For Dirghatamas, as was the case for much of later Vedic astronomy, the main God of the zodiac is the Sun God called Vishnu. Vishnu rules over the highest heaven and is sometimes identified with the pole star or polar point, which in the unique view of Vedic astronomy is the central point that governs all celestial motions and form which these are calculated.
According to Dirghatamas Rig Veda I.155.6, "With four times ninety names (caturbhih sakam navatim ca namabhih), he (Vishnu) sets in motion moving forces like a turning wheel (cakra)." This suggests that even in Vedic times Vishnu had 360 names or forms, one for each degree of the zodiac. A fourfold division may correspond to the solstices and equinoxes. Elsewhere Dirghatamas states, I.164.36, "Seven half embryos form the seed of the world. They stand in the dharma by the direction of Vishnu." This probably refers to the seven planets.
Most of the astronomical information occurs in his famous Asya Vamasya Hymn I.164. Much of this hymn can be understood as a description of the zodiac. It begins:
1. Of this adorable old invoker (the Sun) is a middle brother who is pervasive (the Wind or lightning). He has a third brother, whose back carries ghee (Fire). There I saw the Lord of the people (the Sun) who has seven children.
This verse is referring to the usual threefold Vedic division of Gods and worlds as the Fire (Agni) on Earth, the Wind or Lightning (Vayu) in the Atmosphere and the Sun (Surya) in Heaven. This also may refer to the three steps or strides of Vishnu through which he measures the Earth, the Atmosphere and Heaven. The Sun is also a symbol of the supreme light or the supreme Sun God that is Vishnu. The Sun or supreme light has seven children, the visible Sun, Moon and five planets.
We should note that the zodiac of twelve signs is divided into three sections based upon a similar understanding, starting with Aries or fire (cardinal fire ruled by Mars, who in Vedic thought is the fire born of the Earth), then with Leo or the Sun (fixed fire ruled by the Sun), and then with Sagittarius, the atmospheric fire, lightning or wind (mutable fire ruled by Jupiter, the God of the rains).
2. Seven yoke the chariot that has a single wheel (chakra). One horse that has seven names carries it. The wheel has three naves, is undecaying and never overcome, where all these beings are placed.
The zodiac is the single wheeled-chariot or circle yoked by the seven planets which are all forms of the Sun or sunlight. It is the wheel of time on which all beings are placed. The Vedic horse (ashva) is symbolic of energy or propulsive force.
3. This chariot which the seven have mounted has seven wheels (chakras) and is carried by seven horses. The seven sisters sing forth together, where are hidden the seven names of the cows.
The seven planets create their seven rotations or seven wheels. Each has its horse, its energy or velocity. Each has its feminine power or sister, its power of expression. It carries its own hidden name or secret knowledge (symbolically cows or rays). This refers to the astrological influences of the planets.
11. The wheel of law with twelve spokes does not decay as it revolves around heaven. Oh Fire, here your 720 sons abide.
The circle of the zodiac has twelve signs. It has 720 half degrees or twins, making 360 total. The Shatapatha Brahmana X.5.5, a late Vedic text, also speaks of a wheel of heaven with 720 divisions. "But indeed that Fire-altar is also the Nakshatras. For there are twenty seven of these Nakshatras and twenty-seven secondary Nakshatras. This makes 720." Twenty-seven times twenty-seven Nakshatras equals 729, with which some overlap can be related to the 720 half-degrees of the zodiac.
12. The Father with five feet and twelve forms, they say, dwells in the higher half of heaven full of waters. Others say that he is the clear-seeing one who dwells below in a sevenfold wheel that has six spokes.
The five feet of the father or the Sun are the five planets or the five elements that these often refer to (to which Vedic thought associates the five sense organs and five motor organs in the human body). His twelve forms are the twelve signs. The Sun in the higher half of heaven with the waters is the signs Leo with Cancer (ruled by the Moon), with the other five planets being the five feet, each ruling two signs. In Vedic thought, the Sun is the abode of the waters, which we can see in the zodiac by the proximity of the signs Cancer and Leo.
The sevenfold wheel is the zodiac moved by the seven planets. The six spokes are the six double signs through which the planets travel. The same verse occurs in the Prashna Upanishad I.11 as a symbol for the year.
13. Revolving on this five-spoked wheel all beings stand. Though it carries a heavy load, its axle does not over heat. From of old it does not break its ancient laws.
The five-spoked wheel is again the zodiac ruled by five planets and five elements and their various internal and external correspondences.
14. The undecaying wheel (circle) together with its felly (circumference), ten yoked to the upward extension carry it. The eye of the Sun moves encompassing the region. In it are placed all beings.
This may again refer to the ten signs ruled by the five planets, with each planet ruling two signs. The eye of the Sun may be the sign Leo through which the solar influence pervades the zodiac or just the Sun itself. The upward extension may be the polar region.
15. Of those that are born together, the seventh is born alone. The six are twins (yama), Divine born rishis. The wishes that they grant are apportioned according to their nature. Diversely made for their ordainer, they move in different forms.
The six born together or are twins are the twelve signs, two of which are ruled by one planet (considering the Sun and Moon as a single planetary influence). The seventh that is singly born is the single light that illumines all the planets. Elsewhere the Rig Veda X.64.3 speaks of the Sun and Moon as twins (yama) in heaven.
The planets are often associated with the rishis in Vedic thought, particularly the rishis Brihaspati (Jupiter), Shukra (Venus) and Kashyapa (the Sun) which became common names for the planets. Their ordainer or stabilizer may be the pole star (polar point).
48. Twelve are its fellies. The wheel is one. It has three naves. Who has understood it?
It are held together like spokes the 360, both moving and non-moving.
This perhaps the clearest verse that refers to the zodiac of twelve signs and three hundred and sixty degrees. The same verse also occurs in Atharva Veda (X.8.4). The zodiac has three divisions as fire, lightning and Sun or Aries, Sagittarius and Leo that represent these three forms of fire. The 360 spokes are the 360 degrees which revolve in the sky but remain in the same place in the zodiac.
Yet another verse (43) of this same hymn of Dirghatamas refers to the Vishuvat, the solstice or equinox, showing that such astronomical meanings are clearly possible.
If we examine the hymn overall, we see that a heavenly circle of 360 degrees and 12 signs is known, along with 7 planets. It also has a threefold division of the signs which can be identified with that of fire, wind (lightning) and Sun (Aries, Sagittarius, Leo) and a sixfold division that can be identified with the planets each ruling two signs of the zodiac. This provides the basis for the main factors of the zodiac and signs as we have known them historically. We have all the main factors for the traditional signs of the zodiac except the names and symbols of each individual sign. This I will address in another article.
Elsewhere in Vedic literature is the idea that when the Creator created the stars he assigned each an animal of which there were originally five, the goat, sheep, cow, horse and man (Shatapatha Brahmana X.2.1). This shows a Vedic tradition of assigning animals to constellations. The animals mentioned are the man, goat, ram, bull and horse, which contain several of the zodiacal animals.
The zodiac in Vedic thought is the wheel of the Sun. It is the circle created by the Sun’s rays. The Shatapatha Brahmana X.5.4 notes, "But, indeed, the Fire-altar also is the Sun. The regions are its enclosing stones, and there are 360 of these, because 360 regions encircle the Sun on all sides. And 360 are the rays of the Sun."
The Zodiac and the Subtle Body
Clearly this hymn contains a vision of the zodiac but its purpose is not simply astronomical, nor is the zodiac the sole subject of its concern. Besides the outer zodiac of time and the stars there is the inner zodiac or the subtle body and its chakra system. The seven chakras mentioned are also the seven chakras of the subtle body. In Vedic thought the Sun that rules time outwardly corresponds inwardly to Prana, the spirit, soul or life-force (Maitrayani Upanishad VI.1). Prana is the inner Sun that creates time at a biological level through the process of breathing. It is also the energy that runs up and down the spine and flows through the seven chakras strung like lotuses along it.
According to Vedic thought (Shatapatha Brahmana XII.3.28) we have 10,800 breaths by day and by night or 21,600 a day. This corresponds to one breath every four seconds. The same text says that we have as many breaths in one muhurta (1/30 of a day or 48 minutes) as there are days and nights in the year or 720, so this connection of the outer light and our inner processes is quite detailed at an early period.
In Vedic thought the subtle body is composed of the five elements, the five sense organs and five motor organs, which correspond to different aspects of its five lower chakras .On top of these five are the mind and intellect (manas and buddhi) which are often compared to the Moon and the Sun and relate to the two higher chakras. They can be added to these other five factors, like the five planets, making seven in all. The chakras of Dirghatamas, though outwardly connected to the zodiac, are inwardly related to the subtle body, a connection that traditional commentators on the hymn like Sayana or Atmananda have noted.
This hymn of Dirghatamas contains many other important and cryptic verses on various spiritual matters that are connected to but go beyond the issues of the zodiac. It is written in the typical Vedic mantric and symbolic language to which it provides two keys;
39. The supreme syllable of the chant in the supreme ether, in which all the Gods reside, those who do not know this, what can they do with the Veda? Those who know it alone are gathered here.
45. Four are the levels of speech. Those trained in the knowledge, the wise know them all. Three hidden in secrecy cannot be do not stir. Mortals speak only with the fourth.
There is clearly a hidden knowledge behind these verses, which reflect an esoteric tradition of spiritual knowledge that was mainly accessible for initiates who had the keys to open its veils. We cannot simply take such verses superficially but must look deeply and see what they imply. Then the pattern of their inner meaning can come forth. If we do this, the astronomical and astrological side cannot be ignored.
Pingree’s Views
Western scholars of the history of astronomy like David Pingree have accepted the astronomical basis of this hymn. In an article, "Astronomy in India" in Astronomy Before the Telescope, C. Walker (ed.), St. Martin's Press, New York, 1996, pps. 123-124, Pingree suggests that Mul. Apin, Babylonian tablets that date from 687 to 500 BC has "’an ideal calendar' in which one year contains 12 months, each of which has 30 days, and consequently exactly 360 days; a late hymn of the Rgveda refers to the same ‘ideal calendar’. And Mul.Apin describes the oscillation of the rising-point of the sun along the eastern horizon between its extremities when it is at the solstices; the same oscillation is described in the Aitareya Brahmana.’" This ideal calendar is the basis for the zodiac and its twelve signs at a mathematical level. Clearly Pingree is referring to Rig Veda I.164 as his ‘late’ hymn of the Rig Veda.
To quote from David Pingree’s "History of mathematical astronomy in India," in the Dictionary of Scientific Biography, C.S. Gillespie (ed.), pp. 533-633, Charles Scribners, New York, 1981, page 534: "In the case of the priority of the Rgveda to the Brahmanas, it is not always clear that the views expressed in the latter developed historically after the composition of the former. All texts that can reasonably be dated before ca. 500 BC are here considered to represent essentially a single body of more or less uniform material." The point of his statement is to try to get such Rig Veda references as those of Dirghatamas later than the Brahmana texts as both reflect a similar sophisticated astronomy, which is necessary to make it later than the Babylonian references and a product of a Babylonian influence as he proposes. This requires reducing all the layers of Vedic literature to a more or less uniform mass at a very late date, which is contrary to almost every view of the text.
Clearly this Rig Veda hymn, which has parallels and developments in the Brahmanas (like the Shatapatha Brahmana quoted in this chapter), must be earlier and show that such ideas were much older than the Brahmanas. To maintain his late date for Vedic astrology, Pingree must assume that this hymn or its particular astronomical verses were late interpolations to the Rig Veda, around 500 BCE or about the time of the Buddha. This is rather odd because the Buddha is generally regarded as having come long after the Vedic period, while the actual text is usually dated well before 1000 BCE (some have argued even to 3000 BCE).
Even the Brahmanas, like the Upanishads that come after them, are pre-Buddhist by all accounts. Perhaps the main Vedic ritual given in the Brahmanas, the Gavamayana, follows the model of a year of 360 days and is divided into two halves based upon the solstices, showing that such an ‘ideal’ calendar was central to Vedic thought. That such an ideal calendar has its counterpart in the sky is well reflected in Vedic ideas saying that equate the days and nights with the Sun’s rays and with the stars (as we have noted in Shatapatha Brahmana with 720 Upanakshatras)*. The Brahmanas, we should also note, emphasize the Krittikas or the Pleiades as the first of the Nakshatras, reflecting an astronomical era of the Taurus equinox. The Shatapatha Brahmana notes that the Krittikas mark the eastern direction.
In addition, the hymn, its verses and commentaries on them are found in many places in Vedic literature, along with support references to Nakshatras. It cannot be reduced to a late addition but is an integral part of the text.
That being the case, a zodiac of 360 degrees and its twelvefold division are much older in India than any Greek or even Babylonian references that he has come up with.
Pingree also tries to reduce the ancient Vedic calendar work Vedanga Jyotish to 500 BCE or to a Babylonian influence. However, the internal date of this late Vedic text is of a summer solstice in Aslesha or 1300 BCE, information referenced by Varaha Mihira in his Brihat Samhita (III.1-2). "There was indeed a time when the Sun’s southerly course (summer solstice) began from the middle of the Nakshatra Aslesha and the northerly one (winter solstice) from the beginning of the Nakshatra Dhanishta. For it has been stated so in ancient works. At present the southerly course of the Sun starts from the beginning of Cancer and the other from the initial point of the sign Capricorn." The middle of Aslesha is 23 20 Cancer, while the beginning of Dhanishta (Shravishta) is 23 20 Capricorn. Calculating the precession accordingly, this is obviously a date of around 1300 BCE.
There are yet earlier references in the Vedas like Atharva Veda XIX.6.2 that starts the Nakshatras with Krittika (the Pleiades) and places the summer solstice (ayana) in Magha (00 – 13 20 Leo), showing a date before 1900 BCE. These I have examined in detail in my book Gods, Sages and Kings (Lotus Press). Clearly the Vedas show the mathematics for an early date for the zodiac as well as the precessional points of these eras long before the Babylonians or the Greeks supposedly gave them the zodiac.
It is not surprising that India could have invented the zodiac and circle of 360 degrees. After all, the decimal system and the use of zero came from India. In this regard, as early as the Yajur Veda, we find names for numbers starting with one, ten, one hundred and one thousand ending with one followed by twelve zeros (Shukla Yajur Veda XVII.2).
The Rig Veda has another cryptic verse that suggests its cosmic numerology. According to it the Cosmic Bull has four horns, three feet, two heads and seven hands (Rig Veda IV.58.3). This sounds like a symbolic way of presenting the great kalpa number of 4,320,000,000 years. Such large numbers for the universe are typical to Indian thought, but scholars such as Pingree would also ascribe them to a Babylonian origin. However, the literature suggests the opposite.

RIGVEDA AS SUCH ON ELECTRICITY GENERATION

RIGVED AS SUCH WITHOUT EXPLANATION ABOUT ELECTRICITY

(Rig. 1.32.13). To begin with, there is the description electricity which forms in the clouds in the form of lightning.
<img src="Four vedas.jpg" alt="Four Vedas" Though it has tremendous power, it does not interfere with the solar power.
However, Lord Indra can vanquish Vritra with the help of lightning.
�(Rig. 1.23.12). We get electricity which emits blinding light, which we use for all kinds of tasks.
�(Rig. 1.6.5). This Mantra describes generation of electricity with the help of machines run on wind power.
Electricity can be easily produced where winds are strong. (Rig. 1.64.9)
This Mantra instructs about use of electricity in aeroplanes.
It also describes land vehicles driven with electrical power.
�(Rig. 8.64.29).
Many kinds of jobs are performed with the help of electricity, using attraction, retraction, vaporization, freezing, air circulation, as well as generation of new substances
�(Rig. 1.168.8).
When rains pour down on the earth from clouds, water in rivers gets agitated. Generation of electricity with the help of this agitated water brings smiles all around, meaning that the earth gets lighted up with lights run on electricity. God, you are great! What extraordinary knowledge you have provided in the Veds!.
�(Rig. 3.1.14). Intelligent people combine life and soul.
Similarly, electricity and fire are combined on the earth, and this knowledge is worth attaining for getting our wishes fulfilled. (Rig. 5.52.6).
Wise and learned persons should attain enlightenment of knowledge about electricity etc, just as the armed forces bring lights into the life of people by protecting the nation.
�(Rig. 5.54.11). This Mantra describes the equipment soldiers should carry.
They must have sufficient arms, food, high quality airplanes, glinting armors to guard their bodies, helmets to protect their heads, powerful electrical rays that can destroy the enemy planes
. This clearly means that there is a description of power electrical beams of waves or rays to be used by armed forces in the Veds.
�(Rig. 5.86.3). This Mantra advices kings and emperors that just as the sun uses its powerful rays to destroy clouds and causes rains on the earth which brings happiness to the people, the kings and emperors too should use the power of electricity to destroy enemies and bring happiness to their subjects.
�(Rig. 5.87.10). This Mantra describes that we can clearly listen to our speech elsewhere, with the help of vibration of electrical waves.
Verse 2: Nav Yo Navati Puro bibhed bahvotjasaa
Ahi Cha vritrahaavadheet
Electricity , which breaks, by the energy of its arms the 99 cities, destroys the cloud, which covers the rays of the sun, the source of all energy and power.
This initial description describes the inherent properties of of electrical energy. Here the “arms of electricity” refers to positive and negative currents. The 99 cities refers to the 99 elements, as known to modern day scientists. In Vedic terminology, these essential elements were known as “Bhogas”.
Verse 3: Sa na Indrah Shivah sakhashwavad gomadvavama
Urudhaarev dohate
That very electric power may be our peaceful friend, providing us with the horse-power to drive our machines, light to light up our houses, and power to produce grains in the fields. Let it bring on prosperity and well-being for us by flowing into numerous currents.

Verse 4: Indra Kratuvidang sutang somang harya purushtut
Piba vrishaswa taatripim
Let electricity, so highly spoken of by many learned people, help extract the essence of medicines, thus produced by those, who are well-versed in manufacturing things. Let it keep safe and shower, on us the rain, satisfying all.

Chapter 3 :Hymn XXXI
Verse 1: Taa Vajrinam Mandinam Stomyam mad indram rathe vahato haryataa haree
Purunyasmay savanaani haryata indraaya somaa harayo dadhanwire
Those two speedily moving forces of attraction and repulsion propel the electric current, powerful like the thunderbolt, pleasant and praiseworthy, in this pleasant plane or car. Manifold are the generating powers for the refulgent electricity borne by speedy moving Somas – various kinds of liquid fuels.
Verse 2: Arang Kaamaay Haryo dadhanwire sthiraay hinvanharayo Haree tura
Arvadbhiyor Haribhijorshameeyate so asya kaamam harivantamaanashe
The above mentioned speedy forces of two kinds set in motion strong currents, capable of maintaining steady progress in the attainment of one’s objective in plenty. Whatever complex is attained by these fast moving horsepowers, is enough to achieve the beautiful objective of his, the manufacturer.
Chapter 2: Hymn XV
Verse 6: Twam tamindra parvatam mahaamurum vajrena vajrinparvshashchakartitha
Avaasrijo nivritaah satarvaa apah satraa vishwam dadhishe kevalam sahah
Just as the thundering electricity reduces the vast cloud to nothing by its thunderbolt, so do you, O King, equipped with piercing weapons like the thunderbolt, smash into pieces the vast armies of the enemy, consisting of various units, by your striking power like the thunderbolt. Just as the waters of the cloud released by the electricity, fall down and flow over the earth, similarly the well-equipped armies of the enemy; being subdued by the might of the king are duly regulated by him. Truly do you alone, O King, hold all the power to subdue the foes.
The inference is quite obviously to weapons utilizing electricity. “Piercing weapons like the thunderbolt” is a clear pointer to surges of exceedingly high voltage. The lethal electric weapons are used to counter various units of the army. This is another clue, for as discussed above, the EMP effect can be used to advantage for a number of targets ranging from computers, to communication systems. Apparently electricity was employed as one of the primary weapons in military combat during the Vedic era.
Chapter 4: Hymn XXXVIII
Verse 5: Indra Idhyorah sacha sangmishal aa vachoyuja
Indro vajri Hiranyah
Electricity is well mixed up with Prana and Apana, the 2 horsepowers, yoked to power of speech. Electric power has the striking power of a deadly weapon and is full of brilliance.

Wireless Genetics DNA Quantum Field In Vedas

The world is composed of Atoms.
Its configuration makes things as different.
A Table, A Pot or a Galaxy are essentially the same if one were to take into account their atomic structure.
Mohan Je Daro SealsEach looks different because its Atoms are arranged differently.
Things appear the way they do is because of the wave length of the one who perceives things.
We are endowed with some qualities to perceive certain things, hear some things……
For instance, our eyes can see light rays falling in between the Ultraviolet and the Infra-red of the Spectrum because the Wave length of the Ultraviolet
rays are longer than what we can see and the Infra-red shorter.

All these vibrate, right from the Massive objects in the galaxies to the sub atomic particles.
These particles ,when they vibrate create Motion and energy.
When thee energies/ vibration are in such a frequency that can be perceived by the instruments they are known.
If we can set our frequencies to this level we can perceive them.

Now as things vibrate they are also susceptible to being affected by the vibrations of the other objects.

This means any vibration in the Universe affects every one/ every thing else.
This forms the Fundamental element of Unified Field Theory of Higher Physics.
At a still advanced level in Quantum, this field id is a Vacuum, called the Quantum Vacuum Filed (QVF)
Till this point Quantum has reached a level of agreement with Hindu philosophy.

Vedic Seals Moha Je Daro
Hindu philosophy goes further and Quantum is yet to understand this.
Things that vibrate affect the things that are seen and perceived and they alter the seen, perceived object.
It is to say that your mental thoughts have the power of altering what you see or perceive.
This too has been accepted and proved by Quantum
What is to be understood by the Quantum is that these vibrations are applicable to genetics too.
DNAs vibrate , they affect other DNAs, yours and others as well.

Read these from ancient Hindu Texts, excerpts are given below.

Accepted theory about the DNA is that it was first isolated by Swiss physician Friedrich Miescher in 1869. Its double helix structure was first revealed by Watson and Crick in 1953 which is the acceptable structure till date.Dr Trivedi claims that the evidence of the discovery of DNA and the cell division process are visible in the archeological seals and stones of the Mohenjo and Daro settlements.

“The DNA was termed as Tvashta and Vivasvat in Vedas. Its pictorial representation is visible on the seals of the Indus Valley civilization,” says Dr Trivedi.According to the scholar, group of tiny seals expresses evolution of the creation from pre-cosmic condition to evolution of man symbolically in chronological order. The pictorial representation on the seals is akin to the detailed structure of DNA and the gene transfer process as depicted in the modern day science, he says.

Dr Trivedi earlier wrote to the prime minister office about his claims on DNA. “The PMO forwarded my request to the department of culture, Government of India. But nothing has happened since then,” he rues. Dr Trivedi has presented several papers on evidence of DNA in Vedic interpretations abroad. “I recently presented my paper in Athens and my findings received great appreciation there,” said Dr Trivedi. “

The first-created: water consists of H2O, it has been expressed by three warm the Earth while holding water reservoir, and from their separation came the letter, and two of these convey the murmuring moisture is H+ & OH־ ions. It expresses the phenomena of ionization Rig-Veda 10- 27-23.”

The DNA replication is regulated by the Triple bond of Hydrogen H ≡ H Rig-Veda 1-163 .

The building block of the Creation is Atom and the building block of the living-beings is DNA De oxy ribose Nucleic Acid Rig-Veda 4-58. The Creation has evolved from the single unified force- fundamental energy under the laws of thermodynamics Rig-Veda 10-90.
The first life has generated in water Rig-Veda 1-163-1.
The living-beings have evolved from the DNA with genetic recombination and the Mendel’s laws of inheritance. The life on the earth is supported by the ozone layer O3. The conversion of the hydrogen into Helium H3 on the surface of the sun, and the water molecules H2O.
The triple bond of Hydrogen H Ξ H has the key for the genetic recombination of the DNA Rig-Veda 1-163- 2,3,4
Maxmüller Science of Religion
Hymns of Rigveda – Griffith, Motilal Benarasidas, New Delhi.

The creation has evolved from the fundamental energy with energy transformation. The laws of thermodynamics have been expressed by the three faces of the symbolic Man showing origin.
The horned hood express the synthesis of DNA from the atoms and molecules. They have synthesized the cell and the genomic chromosome. The surrounding animals have been evolved from the single cell with genetic recombination and crossing over.
The U shape structure is the symbol for the genomic chromosome and the fish like structure is symbol for the cell.”


Flashback #1
All these days modern scientists used to think that 90% of the DNA is useless and even termed it junk DNA! Why? Because they only knew the functionality of 2% of the human DNA which was about manufacturing proteins. Since they did not SEE via experiments what other 98% of the DNA did, they had concluded that it is junk (non-coding DNA in scientific terms, as if God has given us a bond saying that DNA would be only about coding proteins :)
Flashback #2
Ancient vedic seers had always said that human body is capable of being influenced by sound and light, that the core of creation is represented by the ultimate sound OM and that the positive light emanated from fire rituals called Yagnas would create universal harmony. They had designed specific hymns with specific areas of influence, and had always advocated chanting of these hymns in specific pitches or frequencies, and performing specifically designed yagnas on a regular basis. One would recognize this if one listens to the chanting of the vedic hymns, the highlight of which is laser sharp focus on pronunciation and pitch. The ancients had also strongly advocated that we should always think only about positive thoughts and speak good.
The Missing Link
Now if you are wondering about the relations between the above mentioned Flashback #1 and Flashback #2, a Russian experiment has proved that, what was thought to be junk DNA till yesterday is actually the DNA which creates aBiological Internet – which of course is wireless in nature, communicating via light and sound waves! That the genetic code is similar to that of the grammar of human spoken languages. The syntax and semantics of these genes are similar to the way human languages are designed, and also that it responds to precisely focused vibrational patterns of human languages! In other words, it looks like the languages we speak actually evolved from the nature of our DNA itself!
You call it sound therapy or DNA therapy or whatever it takes, you can converse with your body (ie your genetic material) via vibrations and waves and can heal ailments, fine tune your health, control body functions etc without the need of anyphysical intervention like surgery or medicinal drugs!
The expirements by Pjotr Garjajev, the Russian Biophysicist, and his colleagues about the vibrational behavior of our DNA has proved that DNA responds toextremely focused light and sound vibrations at particular frequencies and hence can be instructed to perform tasks or exchange information accordingly!
So things like intuition, self-healing, telepathy, light-auras surrounding spiritual masters, influences of positive thinking, etc are no longer a domain to be studied outside the boundaries of modern science. The truth is that modern science itself had a blind belief about these otherwise scientifically valid facts all these days. As I have always been saying, modern science is NOT AN ABSOLUTE SCIENCE, it is always a work under progress, parts of it which are accepted as facts today might turn out to be wrong tomorrow, things which modern science considers as blind faith today might turn out to be real science tomorrow. So anybody who talks the language of – modern science being 100% accurate ..”

वेद हैं क्या?



वेदों को हिंदू धर्म का आधार माना जाता है| हज़ारों वर्षों से भारत की शिक्षा पद्धति में प्रत्येक व्यक्ति अपने जीवन के आरंभिक २५ वर्ष वेदों के पठन में व्यतीत करता था| यही गुरुकुल शिक्षा पद्धति का आधार रहा है| वेदों का अगला चरण है वेदांत| वेद ४ हैं – यजुर्वेद, अथर्ववेद, सामवेद तथा ऋग्वेद| अधिकतर लोग वेदों को पुस्तक समझते हैं| उनके अनुसार इन वेदों की रचना ऋषियों ने की और जो कुछ है इस पुस्तक में है, इससे बाहर कुछ भी नहीं| यह बात बिलकुल सत्य है कि जो कुछ है वेदों में है और उससे बाहर कुछ नहीं परंतु यह बात वैसी नहीं है जैसा कि अधिकांश लोग इसे समझते हैं! दुर्भाग्यवश इस देश में पिछले कुछ हज़ार वर्षों से वेदों का रट्टा लगवाया गया जिससे इसके वास्तविक अर्थ के बजाय केवल श्लोक और संस्कृत व्याकरण पर लोग सिद्धहस्त होने लगे| इसके बाद वंशवाद के कारण जब लोगों ने इसकी ठेकेदारी शुरू कर दी तो ऐसा लगने लगा कि वेद केवल कुछ वर्ग विशेष के लिए ही लिखे गए हों! इसका सबसे बड़ा दुष्परिणाम यह हुआ कि समाज के अन्य वर्गों के लोग वेदों के ज्ञान से वंचित रहने लगे| धीरे धीरे समाज की उत्सुकता कम होने लगी और ज्ञान के उस रिक्त स्थान को धर्मान्तरण और अंग्रेज़ी शिक्षा पद्धति ने भरना शुरू कर दिया|

वास्तव में वेद हैं क्या? वेद शब्द बना है ‘विद्’ धातु से| संस्कृत में विद् का अर्थ होता है किसी तथ्य या बात को ठीक से समझना| ठीक से समझने का मतलब उसके वास्तविक कारण को जानना| ठीक से किसे समझा जाए? अपने वजूद को! एक बात बहुत छोटी सी है कि जिस चीज़ का कोई अस्तित्व नहीं हो, वह हमारे लिए कोई मायने नहीं रखती| हम उसी वस्तु को जानने की कोशिश करते हैं जो हमारे मतलब की हो| हमारे मतलब की होगी तो जाहिर सी बात है कि उसका अस्तित्व अवश्य होगा! इस संसार में हम सभी का अपना खुद का एक दायरा है| हमारा अपना जीवन है, अपनी परिस्थितियाँ हैं और उन परिस्थितियों को जवाब देने के लिए हम सब की अपनी एक मानसिकता है| यही वजह है कि हम में से कोई भी एक जैसा नहीं है| हम सभी का अपना एक रास्ता है| लेकिन यह रास्ता हमें कहाँ लेकर जाता है? यदि आप कभी एकांत में मनन करें और यह विश्लेषण करें कि ज्ञान के धरातल पर अपने पैदा होने से अब तक आप कहाँ खड़े हैं, तो आप पाएँगे कि उस पल से लेकर अब तक आपने कुछ न कुछ सीखा ही है| हर नए पल के साथ आप मानसिक रूप से अधिक परिपक्व होते जाते हैं| आपको सिखाने का काम करते हैं आपके जीवन के हालात| ये हालात आप कभी खुद नहीं चुनते क्योंकि यदि आपको परिणाम शत प्रतिशत पता हों तो आप निष्क्रिय हो सकते हैं! हर नया पल आपको पिछले पल से बेहतर बुद्धि प्रदान करता है| इस बुद्धि की गुणवत्ता, हमारी मानसिक गुणवत्ता और परिस्थिति पर निर्भर करती है| कोई कितना भी बुद्धिमान हो अथवा मूर्ख, हर कोई अपनी परिस्थिति के अनुसार अपने दायरे में, अपने लिए; पहले से बेहतर होता ही है| यह अहसास केवल और केवल उस व्यक्ति को ही होता है, कोई दूसरा शायद ही इस उन्नति को समझ सके| यह उन्नति जरूर होती है चाहे उसके बारे में हमें पता हो या न हो|

परिस्थितियों से मिलने वाला अनुभव ही ज्ञान होता है| जिस तरह परिस्थितियाँ अग्रसर होती रहती हैं, उसी तरह यह अनुभव या ज्ञान भी बढ़ता रहता है| लेकिन इसका अंत कहाँ है? कब तक यह सिलसिला चलता रहेगा? कब तक नयी परिस्थितियाँ आती रहेंगी और हम सीखते रहेंगे? यह सिलसिला तब तक चलता रहेगा जब तक हम अंतिम सत्य तक न पहुँच जाएँ! अंतिम सत्य यही है कि दुनिया की चकाचौंध चार ही दिन की है| यह स्थाई नहीं है| आप अपने जीवन में भी इसे अनुभव करते ही होंगे कि संसार के सभी भोग हमेशा नहीं रहते| शरीर के साथ सब यहीं छूट जाता है! फिर भी हर कोई संतुष्ट होकर नहीं मरता| कुछ न कुछ भीतर रह ही जाता है| कभी कुछ पाना रह जाता है तो कभी कुछ पछताना रह जाता है! इसी यात्रा को पूरा करने के लिए फिर हम एक नयी कहानी शुरू करते हैं एक नए जन्म के रूप में| फिर यही सिलिसिला शुरू होता है परिस्थिति और अनुभव का| हम तब तक आगे बढ़ते रहते हैं जब तक यह दुनिया और इसके भोगों का रहस्य हमारी बुद्धि में फीड नहीं हो जाता! जब तक यह बात हमारी धारणा और कर्म में नहीं आ जाती कि जो आता जाता रहता है उसे सत्य नहीं कहते और जो स्थिर है वही सत्य है, तब तक इस दुनिया के मेले में सुख-दुःख तथा परिस्थितियों के थपेड़े हम सहन करते ही रहते हैं| इस बात को मर्म से जानने के लिए विरक्ति या अलगाव चाहिए| विरक्ति का अर्थ होता है कि सारे सुख उपलब्ध होने के बावजूद उनका उपभोग करने में उबकाई आना| जैसे भरे पेट के बाद कुछ भी खाने का मन न करे| विरक्ति कोई पढ़कर सीखने वाली चीज़ नहीं है! कोई चाहे लाख समझाए परंतु विरक्ति का भाव आता तो अनुभव से ही है! कोई मंदिर मस्जिद, गुरूद्वारे, गिरिजाघर, गुरुकुल, मदरसे में कितना भी घुस कर बैठ जाए; कोई चाहे रात दिन गीता, कुरान, बाइबल रटता रहे लेकिन उसके मन में जरा भी कुछ भोग करने की इच्छा हुई तो समझ लेना कि अभी बहुत दूर जाना है| इसका एकमात्र कारण यही है कि विरक्ति केवल अनुभव से ही प्राप्त होती है और अनुभव पढ़ कर कभी नहीं सीखा जा सकता, उसके लिए कर्म करना ही पड़ता है!

यह प्रकृति का विधान है कि भोग का परिणाम हमेशा दुःख और कष्ट ही होता है| यह आप अनुभव भी कर सकते हैं| उदाहरण के तौर पर, एयर कंडीशनर सुख का एक साधन है| इसके लिए बिजली चाहिए| बिजली के लिए पावर स्टेशन चाहिए| पावर स्टेशन के लिए पानी और कोयला चाहिए| पानी और कोयले के लिए आपको नदियों को बांधना पड़ेगा और खनन करना पड़ेगा| जितनी अधिक एयर कंडीशनर की आवश्यकता होगी, उतनी ही अधिक खुदाई करनी पड़ेगी और बाँध बनाने पड़ेंगे| धरती के संसाधनों की भी अपनी एक सीमा है| यदि आप कोई चीज़ प्रकृति से लेकर उसे वापिस नहीं करते तो वह उधार प्रकृति सूद समेत आपसे छीन लेती है! कैसे? जब जमीन से खनन अधिक होता है तो वहाँ खाली जगह हो जाती है| इस खाली जगह को भरने के लिए जमीन के अंदर चट्टानें खिसकती हैं| इस खिसकाव से भूकंप आते हैं| पूरा का पूरा शहर जमीन के अंदर चला जाता है और फिर कुछ हज़ारों सालों के बाद उस शहर के लोग, जानवर और पेड़ पौधे कोयला बनकर निकलते हैं! ऐसे हिसाब पूरा होता है प्रकृति का| आप उसे संसाधन वापिस नहीं दे पाए तो उसने आपको ही संसाधन बना लिया! इसीलिए भारतीय सभ्यता में पायी जाने वाली कोई भी पद्धति प्रकृति के नियमों का कभी उल्लंघन नहीं करती| इन सभी तकनीकों के पीछे महान वैज्ञानिक कारण रहे हैं जो अब दुनिया इसीलिए समझ पा रही है क्योंकि भोग से उत्पन्न जो कष्ट हुआ उससे यह अनुभव रूपी ज्ञान प्राप्त हुआ है| यही कारण है कि विश्व भारतीय चिंतन पर शोध करना चाहता है! यह उदाहरण सिखाता है कि कैसे व्यक्ति, जाति, देश परिस्थितियों के वशीभूत हो कर ज्ञान प्राप्त करते हैं|

विरक्ति होने के बाद अगला उद्देश्य रह जाता है सच्ची संतुष्टि को प्राप्त करना| विरक्ति हमें इसीलिए हुई थी क्योंकि हमने झूठी चीज़ों को टटोलकर उनकी सच्चाई का पता लगाया लेकिन संतुष्टि तभी मिलेगी जब हमें किसी ठोस सत्य के दर्शन होंगे| सत्य का अर्थ है जब हमें पता चलेगा कि वह कौन सी चीज़ है जो कभी नहीं बदलती और कभी नहीं खत्म होती! ऐसी केवल एक ही सत्ता है और वह है आत्मा! आत्मा यानी चेतना| आपको अपने होने की अभिव्यक्ति| यदि हम केवल हाड़ माँस के बने हुए शरीर ही होते तो हम जिन्दा नहीं कहे जा सकते थे| फिर हम non living thing कहे जाते| ऐसा इसीलिए क्योंकि फिर हमारे और मेज, कुर्सी, गाड़ी, सड़क, लकड़ी, लोहे के बीच कोई फर्क ही नहीं रह जाता! हमें भी काटने पर दर्द नहीं होता| हमारे अंदर भी कोई अहसास नहीं होता लेकिन सच्चाई यह है कि हम सोच सकते हैं, समझ सकते हैं, प्रतिक्रिया दे सकते हैं, बेहतर बन सकते हैं और आस पास के माहौल को ढाल सकने की क्षमता रखते हैं और इन सब के पीछे केवल एक अहसास है ‘मैं’ या मेरा अस्तित्व| क्या है यह ‘मैं’ और यह अस्तित्व किसका है इस हाड़ मांस के शरीर में जो यह सब कर रहा है? जब मैं अपने बारे में सोचता हूँ तो वो एक ही अहसास होता है| ऐसा नहीं होता कि मेरे हाथ, पैर, किडनी, गर्दन, घुटने, बाल सब कुछ अलग अलग सोच रहे हैं| वो कोई एक चीज़ अपनी तरफ इशारा करती है कि यह तू है! यही है हमारी चेतना या आत्मा जो न कभी पैदा होती है और न कभी मरती ही है! इसी के बारे में कहा गया है:

“नैनं छिन्दन्ति शास्त्रानी नैनं दहति पावकः|
 न चैनं क्लेदयन्त्यापो न शोषयति मारुतः||

 अक्चेद्योअयमदह्योअयमक्लेद्योअशोश्य एव च|
 नित्यः सर्वगतः स्थानुर्चलोयम सनातनः||”

-          श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता (२:२३-२४)

अर्थात न तो इस आत्मा को कोई शास्त्र काट सकता है, न इसे आग जला सकती है और न ही इसका शोषण करने का साहस वायु में है| यह आत्मा जलाई और सताई नहीं जा सकती| यह स्थिर है, सर्वव्यापी है और सनातन (जो न कभी पैदा हो और न कभी मरे) है|

यही सत्य सभी सत्यों का आधार है और अंत में जानने योग्य शेष रह जाता है| यही वो ज्ञान है जिसकी अनुभूति के लिए व्यक्ति, समाज, राष्ट्र और सारा संसार भिन्न भिन्न मार्गों से अपने तरीके से संघर्ष कर रहे हैं| जब तक यह संघर्ष जारी रहेगा तब तक इस दुनिया में ऐसे हालात रहेंगे| ये हालात फिर नए हालातों को जन्म देंगे जिसमें व्यक्ति, समाज, राष्ट्र और दुनिया अपना अपना किरदार निभाएंगे और यह ऐसे ही चलता रहेगा जब तक सृष्टि यह अनुभव न प्राप्त कर ले कि सब कुछ बेकार है, केवल आत्मा ही सत्य है! इस आत्मा को ही हम लौकिक जगत की परिभाषा में ईश्वर, अल्लाह, god, रब आदि नामों से पुकारते हैं| इन सभी शब्दों का अपना कोई भी अस्तित्व नहीं है, अगर होता तो कोई न कोई एक तो ऐसा उदाहरण इस दुनिया में अवश्य होता जिसने इनको कभी देखा होता! ये शब्द एक विश्वास से अधिक और कुछ भी नहीं हैं| ये शब्द या कहें कि इनका डर इंसान को सत्य के अनुभव की ओर प्रेरित करता रहता है| अंत में कहा यही जाता है कि जिसने खुद को पा लिया उसने सब कुछ पा लिया! आत्मा या अपनी चेतना को पा लेना ही वो ज्ञान है जो पाना शेष है| इसके बाद फिर चाह कर भी कोई प्रश्न पैदा नहीं हो पाता! यही चरितार्थ करता है ‘विद्’ धातु को| जो जान लेता है उसे कहते हैं विद्वान और जिसे वह जान लेता है उसे कहते हैं ‘वेद’ अर्थात जानने योग्य| ऊपर जो कथा लिखी है, यह वेद का अभिप्राय है| जो आप अपने जीवन में अनुभव से ज्ञान प्राप्त करते हैं, वही है वेदांत अथवा वेदों का निचोड़| यही कारण है कि अनंत काल से वेदों को श्रुति के रूप में ग्रहण किया जाता था| श्रुति का अर्थ है सुनकर| कोई पुस्तक नहीं हुआ करती थी| इसे लिपिबद्ध किया गया महान ऋषियों द्वारा जिन्हें पता था कि आगे चलकर क्या हालात होंगे| इसीलिए वेदों को पुस्तकें समझने की भूल न करें! वेद वो सिद्धांत हैं जिन्हें आप अपने जीवन की परिस्थितियों से सीखते हैं| यह संसार आपकी practical laboratory है और आपके जीवन की परिस्थितियाँ assignments हैं|

वेदों की शिक्षा को समझाने के लिए ही पुराणों की रचना हुई| पुराणों में कथाएं हैं और हर कथा का उद्देश्य अंत में एक शिक्षा है जिसे अपनाकर व्यक्ति अपने उद्देश्य की ओर सुगमता से बढ़ सके| पुराणों की रचना महर्षि वेदव्यास जी द्वारा की गई| चूँकि पुराण वेदों का व्यास (extension) हैं, इसीलिए महर्षि जी का नाम वेद-व्यास रखा गया| वेदों की शिक्षा जो कि मन्त्र स्वरूप थी और गूढ़ थी, उन्हें कथा स्वरूप रोचक बनाकर आम इंसान के समझने हेतु बनाया गया| पुराणों में कई रीतियाँ और संस्कार भी शामिल हैं जिनके पीछे भी एक शिक्षा है| हिंदू धर्म में जितने भी देवी देवता हैं वे आपको पुराणों में ही मिलेंगे, वेदों में नहीं| कारण? देवी देवता कहानी के किरदार हैं और प्रत्येक देवी देवता को एक गुण दिया हुआ है जैसे फिल्म में किसी नायक नायिका का होता है| आत्मा या परमात्मा सर्वशक्तिमान और सर्वगुणसम्पन्न है, देवी देवताओं की रचना उन गुणों को ढालकर कथा के रूप में दी गईं ताकि एक साधारण व्यक्ति भी उस कथा को सुनकर उन गुणों का चिंतन कर सके और उस शिक्षा को ग्रहण कर सके| उदाहरण के तौर पर, शिव का प्रधान गुण है विनाशक, गणेश का है बुद्धिमता, विष्णु का पालनहार, दुर्गा का है नारी का स्वाभिमान और उसकी शक्ति, कार्तिकेय का है योद्धा आदि| पुराणों में ही मूर्ति पूजा और उससे जुड़े संस्कार आए जो वेदों में नहीं हैं| इन सभी का उद्देश्य है शिक्षा को हमेशा याद रखना| हम कोई कहानी सुनते हैं तो उसे कुछ समय पश्चात भूल जाते हैं लेकिन जब भी हम उस कहानी के किसी अंश को बार बार दोहराते हैं तो उससे जुड़ी शिक्षा हमेशा ताज़ा बनी रहती है| यही उद्देश्य है संस्कारों का| चूँकि एक साधारण व्यक्ति आम जीवन में इतना व्यस्त होता है इसीलिए दैनिक पूजा अराधना को जीवन में स्थान दिया गया ताकि वह ईश्वर के जिस भावस्वरूप को ध्यान करता है, उसी के सहारे अपने ज्ञान का मार्ग प्रशस्त करे| बिना माँ के, ममता का कोई अर्थ नहीं क्योंकि माँ ही वो शख्स है जो ममता को आचरण में लाकर बताती है इसीलिए उसे ममता की मूरत कहा जाता है| ठीक उसी तरह ईश्वर के विभिन्न गुणों को समझने के लिए देवी देवताओं की रचना की गई ताकि उनकी कथा और अराधना के द्वारा मनुष्य उन गुणों का अनुभव कर सके अपने भीतर| देवी देवता पूर्णतया काल्पनिक हैं परंतु उनके गुण सच्चे हैं क्योंकि वह उस एक आत्मा या परमात्मा के हैं| इस तत्व को ठीक तरह से जानने के बाद किसी तरह की पूजा अराधना की आवश्यकता नहीं रह जाती क्योंकि इस तत्व को जान लेना ही इन अनुष्ठानों का उद्देश्य है| यही मर्म है मूर्ति पूजा का|

आज धर्म के नाम पर जागरूकता कम और भय अधिक है| आज धर्म नाम का यह शब्द एक समूह में सिमट कर रह गया है जहाँ एक जैसी विचारधारा के लोग इकट्ठे होते हों| वास्तविक धर्म ही है सत्य को समझने की चेष्टा करना और उसके लिए जो बन पड़े उस कर्म को निष्ठापूर्वक करना| दूसरे शब्दों में धर्म का अर्थ है सत्य की अनुभूति के लिए जागरूकता के साथ आगे बढ़ना| धर्म या अध्यात्म कोई hypothetical सिद्धांत नहीं है| धर्म अनुभव करने की चीज़ है| यदि कोई पंथ या विचार लौकिक प्रश्नों का भी उत्तर न दे सके तो उसे त्याग देना ही उचित है और यही आधार है सनातन धर्म का जिसे हिंदू धर्म भी कहा जाता है| यह धर्म पूर्ण वैज्ञानिक तथ्यों की पुष्टि पर आधारित है, इसीलिए कहा गया कि जिसका अस्तित्व हमें दिखाई पड़ता है केवल उसे ही आधार बनाकर अपनी सीख को आगे बढ़ाएं! जो अनुभव के आड़े आए, उसे धर्म नहीं कहा जा सकता क्योंकि वह आपको सत्य से हमेशा दूर ही रखेगा! यही कारण है कि हिंदू धर्म अपौरुषेय है अर्थात इसका कोई जन्मदाता है और कभी हो भी नहीं सकता क्योंकि इसका आधार universal facts हैं जिन्हें न तो कोई चुनौती दे सकता है और न ही कोई इसे पैदा करने का दावा ही कर सकता है! आप उस व्यक्ति को क्या कहेंगे जो यह कहे कि दया, उपकार, सत्य, क्षमा, धैर्य तथा पराक्रम जैसे भाव का जन्मदाता वो खुद है या पता लगाने वाला वो पहला व्यक्ति है? पागल! वेद इन्हीं मौलिक गुणों को सिखाने का कार्य करते हैं और यही वेद इस धर्म का आधार हैं|

             How useful these thoughts are, in protecting the Nation and destroying the enemies could easily be gauged.  If in spite of these lofty and inspiring thoughts the country becomes enslaved then it could be termed only as misfortune of the country.
