Gayatri Mantra - Big Bang Theory


Gayatri Mantra is held next to AUM in most hindu scriptures. It is one mantra that is common to many sects of Hinduism. AUM indicates the Universe, its composition in terms of particles and states of matter. Gayatri Mantra indicates how AUM the Universe or cosmos expanded or came into being. More precisely, it points to the Big Bang theory for the formation of Universe or AUM.

Aum
Bhuh Bhuvah Sva
Tat Savitur Varenyam
Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi
Dhiyo Yo nah Prachodayat

~ The Rig Veda (10:16:3)

The First Word Om (Aum)

It is also called Pranav because its sound emanates from the Prana (vital vibration).

AUM characterizes the cosmos, the entire universe. Aum by describing matter, energy, dark matter/energy and the unknown beyond in terms of particles and states of matter, describes the cosmos or universe in a single word.


Hence, Aum indicates the Universe

The "Vyahrities": Bhuh, Bhuvah & Svah

Bhu indicates 'Springing', 'comes into being', 'arises of', 'place of being' etc. From the perspective of 'place', bhu indicates also earth. In fact all the above three words of the Gayatri are called Vyahrities. Vyahriti is that which gives knowledge of entire cosmos or "ahriti". Bhu, Bhuva, Svah can also be mapped to Past, Present, Future (in time domain), Tamas, Rajas, Satwah (in physical properties domain).


'
OM Bhu' indicates Universe arises of or springs of..


Bhuvas as a vyahriti, indicates atmosphere or the space between Earth and Heaven. The direct meaning of Bhuva is 'of Agni' or 'of fire'.


"
Om Bhu Bhuva" indicates "Universe comes into being/arises of fire".


Sva as a vyahriti, indicates heaven or space above atmosphere. Sva also indicates on ones own.


"
Om Bhu Bhuva Sva" indicates "Universe comes into being/arise of Agni/fire on its own(self)".


If Big Bang theory is true, then universe came into being from that massive explosion (heat). Is this what the Gayatri indicates..? And the seed of that fire is the Savitr.


The Remaining Words

Tat simply means "that" or "thus" or "in this way"

Savitr means 'Stimulator' or 'arouser'. It is also used to indicate light, wisdom. Many scholars interpret it as Sun itself. Many scholars associate it with a spiritual Sun and not the physical sun.

Traditionally savitr indicates sun before rise or light in physical or spiritual domain. The sun just before sun rise is indicated as Savitr. Actual Sun is referred to as Surya.

Assuming Savitr indicates Stimulator or Arouser (one that arouses), Savitr indicates the seed of fire, which matches with the usage of 'Savitr' to denote the Sun just before the Sun rise.


" tat savitr" indicates, "that arouser or that seed of fire"


Varenium means “adore" or 'adore-able' or excellent


" tat savitr varenyam" indicates, "arouser or seed of fire that is adorable or excellent"

Bhargo means "illumination" or 'radiance'

Devasya means "Divine" or "Divine like or pure"

Dheemahi means "we contemplate, desire or wish upon or meditate'


"Bhargo devasya dheemahi" indicates, "we meditate/desire on that divine-like or pure radiance"


Dhiyo means "true knowledge or understanding of reality"

Yo means "who"

Nah means "ours"

Prachodayat means "excites/inspires/commands/proclaims (life)/"


"Dhiyo yonah prachodayat" indicates, "True knowledge of the one who commands/excites/inspires"


Combing all the above, it could be interpreted as


"
Om Bhu Bhuva Sva" indicates "Universe comes into being/arise of Agni/fire on its own/self".

" tat savitr varenyam" indicates, "that seed of fire that is adorable or excellent"

"Bhargo devasya dheemahi" indicates, "we meditate on that pure radiance"

"Dhiyo yonah prachodayat" indicates, "True knowledge of the one who excites/inspires(gives life)"


"Universe/cosmos arises from the seed of fire on its own, the seed of fire that is excellent, we desire/wish/meditate on that divine radiance, true knowledge of who gives life (excites/inspires/commands)"

____________________________________________________________________

AUM, the pranava, life vibration, that has the entire universe in itself, gives rise from savitr the seed of fire, is what the Gayatri Mantra describes. The person reciting Gayatri Mantra asks or meditates on the divine pure radiance and true knowledge of life source.

Since Gayatri Mantra describes the way we evolved and our evolution, or the secret of our evolution, it is administered in utmost secrecy and sacredness.

One reason our ancestors asked us to memorize things and repeat them is that; many times realization of a particular phrase or sentence doesn't come to us, just on reading them. Over a period, after undergoing multiple experiences in life, suddenly the meaning of the phrase becomes clear. Sometimes, we will understand it very lately. Hence if a person who understands sanskrit, memorizes Gayatri Mantra and keeps on reciting it, over a period he would find layers of meanings in it and there will be multiple realization. This way it would benefit him.


**I want to thank my dearest friends and philosophers ‘TheBigThinking’ and ‘Rudra’ in making me understand and clearing my doubts on this matter…..

The Secrets of Piloting a Vimana

I have compiled some very interesting information on VIMANAS….

All intelligent thoughts have already been thought; what is necessary is only to try to think of them again. Im so proud to be part of this great civilization…..

"The pilot is one who knows the secrets"

Bodhaanada: Scientists say that there are 32 secrets of the working of the Vimaana. A pilot should acquaint himself thoroughly with them before he can be deemed competent to handle the aeroplane. He must know the structure of the aeroplane, know the means of its take off and ascent to the sky, know how to drive it and how to halt it when necessary, how to maneuver it and make it perform spectacular feats in the sky without crashing. Those secrets are given in "Rahashya Lahari" and other works by Lalla and other masters, are are described thus:

"The pilot should have had training in maantrica and taantrica, kritaka and antaraalaka, goodha or hidden, drishya and adrishya or seen and unseen, paroksha and aparoksha, contraction and expansion, changing shape, look frightening, look pleasing, become luminous or enveloped in darkness, deluge or pralaya, vimukha, taara, stun by thunderstorm din, jump, move zig-zag like serpent, chaapala, face all sides, hear distant sounds, take pictures, know enemy maneuver, know direction of enemy approach, stabdhaka or paralyse, and karshana or exercise magnetic pull.

According to the Vymankia Shastra, purportedly written by Maharishi Bharadwaja in the 4th Century BC, these are some of the secrets to piloting a vimana. They include:

Maantrika: The invoking of mantras which will permit one to achieve certain spiritual and hypnotic powers so that he can construct airplanes which cannot be destroyed.

Taantrika: by acquiring some of the Tantric powers, one may endow his aircraft with those same powers.

Goodha: This secret permits the pilot to make his vimana invisible to his enemies. Adrishya accomplishes the same purpose by attracting 'the force of the ethereal flow in the sky.

Paroksha: This helpful hint enables the pilot to paralyze other vimanas and put them out of action.

Aparoksha: One may employ this ability to project a beam of light in front of his craft to light his way.

Viroopa Karana: With this skill mastered, the pilot can produce 'the thirty-second kind of smoke', charge it with 'the light of the heat waves in the sky' and transform his craft into a 'very fierce and terrifying shape' guaranteed to cause 'utter fright to onlookers'.

Roopaanara can cause the vimana to assume such shapes as those of the lion, tiger, rhinoceros, and serpent - even a mountain- to confuse observers.

Suroopa: If one can attract the thirteen kinds of 'Karaka force', one can make the vimana appear to be 'a heavenly damsel bedecked with flowers and jewels'.

Pralaya: This deadly secret pushed electrical force through the 'five-limbed aerial tube' so that the pilot may 'destroy everything as in a cataclysm'.

Vimukna sends a poison powder through the air to produce 'wholesale insensibility and coma'.

Taara: This ability, once mastered, provides the pilot with another means of avoiding contact with an enemy or hiding his purpose from observers: 'By mixing with ethereal force 10 parts of air force, 7 parts of water force, and 16 parts of solar glow, and projecting it by means of the star-faced mirror through the frontal tube of the vimana, the appearance of a star-spangled sky is created.'

Saarpa-Gamana: This secret enables the pilot to attract the forces of air, join them with solar ryas, and pass the mixture through the center of the craft so the vimana will 'have a zig-zagging motion like a serpent'.

Roopaakarshana permits the pilot to see inside an enemy's airplane, while Kriyaagrahana allows one to spy on 'all the activities going on down below on the ground'.


Jalada roopa instructs the pilot in the correct proportions of certain chemicals which will envelop the vimana and give it the appearance of a cloud."

Aavartaas or aerial whirlpools are innumerable in the above regions. Of them the whirlpools in the routes of the vimanas are five.

In the Rekhapathha there occurs the whirlpool of winds. In Kakshya-pathha there occurs Kiranavarta or whirlpool from solar rays. In Shaktipathha there occurs Shytyaavarta or whirlpool of cold currents. And in Kendrapathha there occurs gharshanavartaor whirlpool by collision. Such whirlpools are destructive of vimanas, and have to be guarded against.
"The pilot should now these five sources of danger, and learn to steer clear of them to safety."
