Gayatri Mantra - Scientific view

---   GAYATRI MANTRA scientific meaning of Gaytri Mantra   Gayatri mantra has been bestowed the greatest importance in Vedic dharma.This mantra has also been termed as Savitri and Ved-Mata, the mother of the Vedas.  "Om-bhur bhuvah swah Tat savitur varenyam Bhargo devasya dheemahi; Dhiyo yo nah prachodayat. "  The literal meaning of the mantra: O God! You are Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Almighty. You are all Light. You are all Knowledge and Bliss. You are Destroyer of fear, You are Creator of this Universe, You are the Greatest of all. We bow and meditate upon Your light. You guide our intellect in the right direction. The mantra, however, has a great scientific importance too, which somehow got lost in the literary tradition. The modern astrophysics and astronomy tell us that our Galaxy called Milky Way or Akash-Ganga contains approximately 100,000 million of stars. Each star is like our sun having its own planet system. We know that the moon moves round the earth and the earth moves round the sun along with the moon. All planets round the sun. Each of the above bodies revolves round at its own axis as well. Our sun along with its family takes one round of the galactic center in 22.5 crore years. All galaxies including ours are moving away at a terrific velocity of 20,000 mile s per second.      And now the alternative scientific meaning of the mantra step by step:   (A) OM BHUR BHUVAH SWAH:   Bhur the earth, bhuvah the planets (solar family), swah the Galaxy. We observe that when an ordinary fan with a speed of 900 RPM (rotations Per minute) moves, it makes noise. Then, one can imagine, what great noise would be created when the galaxies move with a speed of 20,000 miles per second. This is what this portion of the mantra explains that the sound produced due to the fast-moving earth, planets and galaxies is Om. The sound was heard during meditation by Rishi Vishvamitra, who mentioned it to other colleagues. All of them, then unanimously decided to call this sound Om the name of God, because this sound is available in all the three periods of time, hence it is set (permanent). Therefore, it was the first ever revolutionary idea to identify formless God with a specific title (form) called upadhi. Until that time, everybody recognized God as formless and nobody was prepared to accept this new idea. In the Gita also, it is said, "Omiti ekaksharam brahma", meaning that the name of the Supreme is Om , which contains only one syllable (8/12). This sound Om heard during samadhi was called by all the seers nada-brahma a very great noise), but not a noise that is normally heard beyond a specific amplitude and limits of decibels suited to human hearing. Hence the rishis called this sound Udgith musical sound of the above, i.e., heaven. They also noticed that the infinite mass of galaxies moving with a velocity of 20,000 miles/second was generating a kinetic energy = 1/2 MV2 and this was balancing the total energy consumption of the cosmos. Hence they named it Pranavah, which means the body (vapu) or store house of energy (prana).   B. TAT SAVITUR VARENYAM:   Tat that (God), savitur the sun (star), varenyam worthy of bowing or respect. Once the form of a person along with the name is known to us, we may locate the specific person.Hence the two titles (upadhi) provide the solid ground to identify the formless God, Vishvamitra suggested. He told us that we could know (realize) the unknowable formless God through the known factors, viz., sound Om and light of suns (stars). A mathematician can solve an equation x2+y2=4; if x=2; then y can be known and so on. An engineer can measure the width of a river even by standing at the riverbank just by drawing a triangle. So was the scientific method suggested by Vishvamitra in the mantra in the next portion as under:-  C) BHARGO DEVASYA DHEEMAHI:  Bhargo the light, devasya of the deity, dheemahi we should meditate. The rishi instructs us to meditate upon the available form (light of suns) to discover the formless Creator (God). Also he wants us to do japa of the word Om (this is understood in the Mantra). This is how the sage wants us to proceed, but there is a great problem to realize it, as the human mind is so shaky and restless that without the grace of the Supreme (Brahma) it cannot be controlled. Hence Vishvamitra suggests the way to pray Him as under:  D) DHIYO YO NAH PRACHODAYAT:  Dhiyo (intellect), yo (who), nah (we all), prachodayat (guide to right Direction). O God! Deploy our intellect on the right path. Full scientific interpretation of the Mantra: The earth (bhur), the planets (bhuvah), and the galaxies (swah) are moving at a very great velocity, the sound produced is Om , (the name of formless God.) That God (tat), who manifests Himself in the form of light of suns (savitur) is worthy of bowing/respect (varenyam). We all, therefore, should meditate (dheemahi) upon the light (bhargo) of that deity (devasya) and also do chanting of Om. May He (yo) guide in right direction (prachodayat) our(nah) intellect dhiyo. So we notice that the important points hinted in the mantra are:     The total kinetic energy generated by the movement of galaxies acts as an umbrella and balances the total energy consumption of the cosmos. Hence it was named as the Pranavah (body of energy). This is equal to 1/2 mv2 (Mass of galaxies x velocity2). 2) Realizing the great importance of the syllable OM , the other later date religions adopted this word with a slight change in accent, viz., amen and Ameen.

Hypocracy...

Currently there is so much fuss about M F Hussain taking citizenship of Qatar. There are lot of debates being hosted by likes of Barkha Dutt, Rajdeep Sardesi and others. Now liberals are saying it is against "freedom of speech", and it is national shame.

I wonder why the same liberals were not saying it is against "freedom of speech" when Chyetanya Kunte was sued by Barkha Dutt. Does it sound hypocratic to you? Or is it that "freedom of speech" is for just elite few not for common man or common blogger?

Rajdeep tweets "woman, muslim, bangladeshi, taslima has revelled in playing the 'victimhood' card." Is Hussain not playing the same "victimhood" card? And is the liberal media not supporting this "victimhood" card?

Another instance, Yesterday or day before there was attack on a Kannada news paper for publishing translated articles of Taslima Nasrin. Why is no liberal guys shouting at the top of their lungs against those who ransacked the office of news paper and say it is against "freedom of speech"?

Also, I wonder where is the "Pink Panty" gang now? Why are they not protecting muslim women who are getting abused. Why are they not sending pink panty to the maulana and maulvis? Is it not hypocratic?

Just thinking... thinking alound or thinking and writing...

Update: Got a tweet from Barkha Dutt BDUTT

@mjrajput nope creative freedom different from lies and defamation

Got me in to thinking, if MF draws naked Sita sitting on Hanuman (who we revere as God), it is counted as creative freddom, those who know history, has this every happened? No. So, to me it is a lie, and also it is to defame Hindu god/goddesses.

If any journalist make snide remarks to any politician say Sonia, Mayawati, Modi, Lalu etc, it is counted as "creative freedom"... sound hypocritical to me...

Hindu Taliban....

Saw a disgusting article from Vir Sanghavi... my first visit to his site (would be the last one too)... landed on his site from Atanu Dey's blog...

Vir Sanghavi is comparing Hindu organisations with Taliban... may be he needs to left the mercy of Talibans, then probably he would realise the difference... any way hope god gives good sense to him...

All the liberals including Vir, they do not make any iota of a sound when Satanic Verses got banned by Indian government. At that time no one raise hue and cry about freedom of speech... but if something is done to Hussain, people jump the gun... there are thousands of supporters to his rescue... may be they have already experienced Talibans and know what their treatment would be if they support Satanic Verses... hence they take side only when Hindu organisations take objections to something... they know Hindus do not treat like Taliban does... but still they compare them to Taliban...

And to all Hussain and freedom of speech supporters...

In constitution of India there are some fundamental rights given, including Freedom of Speech but it comes with certain "duties" to quote two:

To spread the message of peace and brotherhood amongst all the Indian citizens irrespective of linguistic, religious and regional or sectional diversities

To discontinue practices pertaining to the impairment of the dignity of women

Pray explain me how has the paintings drawn by Hussain fulfilled the duties given above??? For this liberals will not have any answers...

Good Books on Hinduism And Indian History

Recently I came across this site which contains good books on hinduism and indian history. The way in which different attacks/colonolisation and other factors influenced the hindu culture. Hinduism is not a religion, a common misconception people have. It is a way of life, the way in which you treat others/yourself. The way you realise your self or understand others. The way in which you live in total harmony with nature and its belongings.


There are some misconceptions which are perpetrated by the media of India. That makes some western journalist wonder what is wrong with them that they are not appreciating the greatness of the hindu culture, its past, its present. Why they want to bring down the pilliars on which secularism of India is built. Like the other day one of my good friend said you are all soaked in hindutva (the remarks sounded sarcastic to me) hence I had to quote François Gautier here.. a western journalist working in india...

why does the Indian press always reflect a westernised point of view ? Why does India's intellectual "elite", the majority of which happens to be Hindu, always come down so hard on their own culture, their own religion, their own brothers and sisters ? Is it because of an eternal feeling of inferiority, which itself is a legacy of British colonisation ? Is it because they considers Hindus to be inferior beings - remember the words of Claudius Buccchanan, a chaplain attached to the East India Company : "...Neither truth, nor honesty, honour, gratitude, nor charity, is to be found in the breast of a Hindoo"! Is it because the Indian Press is still deeply influenced by Marxist and communist thoughts planted by Nehruvianism

Most of the hindus do not appreciate their culture, their way of life. They always looks towards west for inspiration. (May be that is what god wants else how will kalyug come... just kidding here :-)...). I believe as a hindu I should and I must spread the knowledge of hinduism's greatness to others. Like it is truly said in sanskrit.

न चोर हर्यम न राजहर्यम न भत्रुभाज्यम न च भारकारी
व्यवये कृत्यम एवमे वर्ध्यम विद्याधनं सर्वधन प्रध्नाम

अर्थार्त, ना चोर चोरी कर सकता हैं ना राजा जीत सकता हैं, ना भाइयों में बँटा जा सकता हैं और जो बोझ भी नही हैं । खर्च करने पर जो बढ़ता हैं, विद्या धन सभी धनो में सर्वोत्तम हैं।

In English it means, burglur cannot steal it, king cannot win it, it cannot be divided between brothers, neither it is heavy. If you spend it, it increases, knowledge is the best wealth then any kind of wealth.

Thats it for today... do take time out to read the books...

यह क्या हो रहा हैं????

मैं सच में हेरान और परेसान हो रहा हूँ...

मैं यहाँ USA में तक़रीबन ६ साल के आस पास रह चुका हूँ, और अभी मुझे लग रहा हैं यह क्या हो रहा हैं... यह सोच मुझे तब आय्ही जब में अपना पिछला ब्लॉग हिन्दी में लिखने की कोशिश कर रहा था... मेरा दिमाग भी हिन्दी में सोचता नही हैं... वह अभी अंग्रेजी में ज्यादा सोचने लगा हैं...

उसी बात पैर अगर ज्यादा गौर करता हूँ तो मुझे समझ में यह आता हैं की हिन्दी में तो मैं कभी सोचता ही नही था... या तो वह गुजराती में होता था (तक़रीबन मेरे जीवन के २१ साल)... फिर इन्फोस्य्स में आने के बाद वह अंग्रेजी में सोचने लगा... फिर भी मुझे गुजराती में लिखने का इतना मन नही करता जितना की हिन्दी में... और एक बात अभी भी मैं जब भी कुछ गणित करता हूँ जैसे की भागकर, गुनाकर, जोडो वगेरा वगेरा तोह मेरा दिमाग उसे सिर्फ़ गुजराती में ही करता हैं पता नही क्यों... अगर में वह अंग्रेजी में करना चाहता हूँ तो बहुत देर लगती हैं...

तो मेरे दिमाग का जो cpu हैं वह हर बार आंकडो को फेले गुजराती में परिवर्तित करता हैं और उसेक बाद वह जो भी गणित करना होता हैं वह करता हैं और फिर वह जवाब को फिर से अंग्रेजी में परिवर्तित करता हैं.... कितने अचम्भे की बात हैं की मेरा दिमाग क्या क्या नही करता हैं सिर्फ़ एक 1 + 1 करने के लिए...

चलो अभी फिर से अलविदा... लगता हैं आज कुछ जायदा ही वेल्ला बैठा हूँ॥ :-)....

क्या आप यह जानते हैं?

मुझे हिन्दी अतिप्रिय हैं और मुझे हिन्दी में लिखना भी बहुत अछा लगता हैं... आप सोच रहे होंगे के यह भाई को क्या हो गया की अचानक आज वह हिन्दी की बात कर रहा हैं :-)...

मुझे कुछ नही हुआ, मैं सिर्फ़ यह गूगल ब्लॉग का यह हिन्दी में लिखाई करने की कोशिश कर रहा हूँ... यह बहुत ही बढ़िया चीज़ बनाई हैं गूगल नैन... तुम लिखो अंग्रेजी में और वह उसको परिवर्तित करके हिन्दी में लिख देता हैं... वह क्या बात हैं...

तो इस प्रकार आप हिन्दी में लिख सकते हूँ अपना ब्लॉग... हिन्दी के इलावा वह और भी भासा इस्तमाल करने देता हैं जैसे की तेलगु, तमिल, मलयालम... आपको सिर्फ़ उसको चुनना हैं अपने ब्लॉग के सेत्तिंग्स में...

हाँ एक और चीज़, अगर आप को घर बैठे कुछ पैसे कमाने हैं तो आप बस google adsense को चुन लीजिये... फिर अपने ब्लॉग को थोड़ा बदल फेर कीजये और adsense को आप अपने ब्लॉग में रख दिज्ये... फिर जब भी कोई आपके ब्लॉग से कुछ क्लिक करके किसी और वेबसाइट पैर जाएगा तो आपको कुछ पैसे मिलेंगे.... आप करके तो देखिये आपको पता चलेगा के यह कितना लाभ दायक हैं...

फिर आपसे अलविदा लेता हूँ.... सुक्रिया... थोड़ा लिंक्स भी क्लिक कर दीजयेगा ;-)...

I have learnt swimming...

I can now say that I have learnt swimming... earlier I used to know how to swim.. but I was never able to take my head or mouth out and breath in... and those who swim can appreciate how difficult it is to take mouth out and breath in.. it took me over a year (well I was not swimming that often that is the main reason here) for learning this... now that I have got in some kind of haphazard movement which I call as rhythm :-) that I am able to stick my neck out for breathing.. I feel elated but not satiated with the my swimming...

I need to learn more... may be practice for some more time... before I try out different hues of swimming like back stroke, breast stroke, butterfly stroke etc etc... it will take time but some day I am sure I would be able to do it...

Right now my current focus is on losing some extra pounds of fat in all unnecessary regions of my body ... I know swimming can do that but I want to do some running and cross ramping to quickly loose as I am still not able to continuously swim for more than one lap...

So far so long... I am able to shed some couple of pounds.. will keep posting my progress...
