Cosmology from vedas to present times By-Arun Kumar Upadhyay, IPS B-9,CB-9,Cantonment Road, Cuttack-753001(Orissa) 0671-2304172/2304433, (M) 09437034170
In 1930 Kurt Godel in his incompleteness theorem showed that no theory can be complete and consistent. But Einstein started his dream of Unified field theories after his General Theory of Relativity. Instead of a single theory, there is proliferation of theories and mathematical models without knowing their physical meaning.-Salam-Wienburg, String theories, many GUT’s. There are inherent weaknesses- (1) There cannot be a single theory as per Godel. (2) Our mathematical equations are field equations, but real world has hierarchy of discrete structures. (3) Successive sizes of worlds are not explained. These are explained in Vedas by double and Triple theories. Double Theories-World can be described as a Puruşa and as Śrī (stree). Puruşa is hierarchy of Viśvas. Viśva is an entity which is almost complete, closed, and interconnected. Viśva as a number means 13, because there are 13 levels. Starting from man, higher vishvas are successively 1 crore times bigger. So koţi means limit as well as 100 lakhs. Limit of world for man is earth which is 100 lakhs times bigger, so 100 lakhs is 1 koţi. Similarly, for earth, limit of world is Solar system which is 1 crore times bigger. For solar system, limit is Parameşţhī maņɖala (Galaxy), 1 crore times bigger. Svayambhū maņɖala (Satya-loka) should be 1 crore times it, but visible universe (Tapah-loka) is smaller, 264 times earth size for 64 letters in Brāhmī –script (actually it is called 63 or 64, so exponent should be about 63.5).These measures are given in 7 types of length units. Sphere of lunar orbit is another level of world due to its proximity with earth. Man is 6th world. Ratio and number of lower worlds is not symmetric, There are 7 viśvas lower than man, successively 1 lakh times smaller- Kalila (cell), jīva (atom), Kuņɖalinī (nucleus), Jagat-particles (chara =lepton, sthāņu = baryon, anupūrva = meson),Deva-dā nava(creation from 33 devas only, not from 99 dānavas), pitara (prototype ?), ŗşi (string - rassi in hindi). Size of about 10-35 meters of string is equal to Planck’s length and is basis of all string theories. Other sizes below nucleus are not defined. Śrī is 10 dimensional space-field theory. Gaņeśa is countable world, Sarasvatī is non-countable field. Discrete structure is pura, its dweller is Puruśa. Field is dispersed consciousness sarasvatī-creative field or source is Śrī (strī). Puruśa has concentrated form which radiates, so it is called Vŗşa (which rains-also means bull). Field is Yoşā (which receives or unites with energy/matter radiated from Vŗşa)-and is Śrī. Both man and woman are Puruşa in the sense that they live in pura (human body).Only in the process of procreation, woman is Śrī, man is Puruśa. There are 10 dimensions of worlds-so daśa, daśā, diśā-have similar meanings. Space has 3 dimensions – length, area (pŗşţha), stoma (volume).Matter is 4th dimension Brahmā-this is curvature of space-time in Einstein’s theory. Kāla is 5th dimension-this is nitya-kāla (eternal time), thermodynamic arrow of time in physics. Janya kāla is 9th dimension, called randhra, nanda etc. Dimensions from 6 to 10 are forms of chetanā-which does chayana-arrangement or order. Kāla does disorder, these 5 dimensions describe physical world described by sānkhya philosophy with 5x5 elements, 5 tanmātrā are 5 basic units of measurement needed. With 6th dimension of chetanā, there are 6x6 elements in Śaiva philosophy. 6th dimension is perception, 7th is ŗşi (7x7 maruts) or inter links, 8th is nāga or vŗtra (localization within curved boundary).9th is janya kāla, related to creation cycle of yajña which is calculated in physics. Creation is due to deficit or density gradient ,so it is called randhra or nanda.10th dimension is rasa or Ā nanda,uniform, homogenous, isotropic source of world, described as scalar field. These 6 descriptions from 5 to 10 dimensions give 6 darśana (philosophy),or 6 darśa-vāk (lipi = scripts). Number of letters in different scripts gives indication of nature of dimensions-(1) 5x5 letters in sānkhya-lipi (2)6x6 letters as per śaiva darśana (3)7x7 maruts, 49 letters in Devanāgarī (4)8x8 letters of Brāhmī script. (5) Scientific script of Vedas of (8+9)2 letters-plane crystallography theorem tells that 17 arrangements cover a plane (6) 103 to 104 letters in Chinese script. Triple theories are about 14 bhuvanas of Jagat, which is conscious, abstract, creative entity. Creation is by 3 guņas of prakŗti. In 5 cosmic viśvas, there are 7 lokas of jagat. At micro level, out of 7 prāņas, 2 are asat (indistinct, beyond measurement). 7 lokas partition world in 8 upper creations (sattva), 6 are man, creatures of earth/water/air, inner-conscious trees, suppressed conscious minerals. This sequence is 786 in Islam-in numeric-code it is Bismillah. Chain of creation or hierarchy of systems is called reversed tree in Gitā (15/1). Cosmic tree is sequence of 5 parvas (stages)starting with (1) universe, (2) galaxy, (3) solar system,(4) sphere of moon orbit, (5) earth. Correspondingly, there are 5 chakras in human vertebra which are centers of 5 sheaths or systems of human body. These are ādhi-daivika and ādhyatmika trees. The third tree is ādhi-bhautika-combination of above, or zones of earth, approximate image of cosmic tree. Chain or interlinking of the stages is Avyaya-puruşa. Individual elements are enclosed in Chhanda (boundary), their collection is Kśara-puruşa. Invisible functional identity is Akśara-puruşa. Chain between these is through ŗşis 5 parvas of viśva have each 3 manotās-creative elements, whose explanation will need a separate article. They are (1) Universe- veda = perception, sūtra =link of ŗşis, niyati = destiny or irreversible arrow of time (2) Galaxy- Bhŗgu = contraction, Angirā = radiation, Atri = balance, or Ida (Iţ)= created forms, ūrka = energy or work, bhoga = consumables (3)Solar system- jyoti =field of light energy, gau (force+motion +creation), āyu = āyatana or volume. (4) Sphere of moon orbit- Reta (field or vāk), yaśa = localized energy, śraddhā = desire. (5) Earth- Vāk, gau, dyau (creative field)
HINDUISM IS THE FOUNDATION OF CIVILIZATIONDIRGHA RAJ PRASAI NEPAL Email: dirgharajprasai@gmail.com Among all religions of the world, Hindu religion is considered as an ancient religion that is recognized as the foundation of civilization and as the most liberal democratic way of life. Hinduism & Buddhism are the identities & cultural assets of Nepal. The Lord Pashupathinath, Shoyambhunath, Lumbini, Barahachetra, Gosaikunda, Muktinath, Ridi, Janakidham, Devghat of Nepal, Kailash Mansharobar of Tibet (well accessed for Nepalese and Hindus), and Tirupati, Rameshroram, Jagannath, Badrinath, Amarnath of India are the symbolic shrines of Hinduism & Buddhism. The people of Nepal and India always have cordial relations due to the cultural and religious resemblance. They should know that if instability persists in Nepal, it could be a bastion of terrorism posing a threat to the whole world. When present India(present Hindustan) was not in existence, there were more than 25 nations, 250 years ago, the great King Prithvi Narayan Shah expressed –"Nepal is true Hindustan"
Nepalese all around the world and Nepal's well-wishers are anxious about the conspiracy designed by some deviant party leaders against the Monarchy and Hinduism. Nepal will not become a heaven on earth just because monarchy is actually abolished and republican system ushered in. Nepal has already received so much respect and identity for being a Hindu kingdom. The essences of Nepalese nationalism are- Hinduism, constitutional monarchy and Nepali language. If these basic foundations are violated, national unity and sustainable peace cannot be achieved. The conflict between the political parties and the king came up because of the mistakes and blunders of the Nepali Congress and the CPN-UML and the authoritarian thinking of the Maoist. But, where would they stand abolishing Nepal and its identity. The nation and its people will win only if all the political leadership realizes this fact. Hindus by nature are peaceful, law abiding and secular people. However, it is a matter of great regret that Hindus are not being treated with the respect and dignity they deserve.
An analyst Stephen Knapp says- India is slowly losing the Vedic culture (Hinduism) through the process of secular or Christian education. In public schools all Vedic books have been removed from the curriculum. There are no possibilities to study the ancient Hindu literature or art in such institutions. The Hindu population is slowly forgetting the unique history and lofty culture of their homeland. (5th Feb. 2008- Peoples Review) In fact the Christian saints order to destroy the huts where they keep the idols of Hindu's God & Goddess and to break the statues of Hindu idols into tiny pieces. That was their goal to destroy Hindu & Buddha culture and make the country a Christian nation. So, it is a high time Nepal also should be careful to save her indigenous culture.
Similarly, the scholar S. Knapp Says- 'A scholar V. S. Sardesai has written- 'British invasion of India and to the address of Lord McCauley to the British Parliament on February1835. He said that he has traveled across the length and breadth of India and has not come across a person who is a beggar, who is a thief; such wealth he has seen, such high moral values, people of such caliber that it would not be possible for them to conquer India unless they break its very backbone, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage. And in order to break what McCauley called the backbone of India, the British replaced the old and ancient educational system of India as proposed by McCauley by what is now known as Mc Cauley's system of education and which is still being followed in India even after independence and which makes Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own and which also makes Indian loose their self esteem and their culture. In addition, they engaged one Mr. Max Muller, a German Sanskrit scholar and a devout Christian, to help missionaries in converting Hindus to Christianity by misinterpreting and distorting Vedas and other scriptures of Sanatana Dharma Traditions so that Hindus would loose respect for the Vedas and Vedic Traditions and move away from Sanatan Hindu Dharma and thus could easily be converted to Christianity' The Christians are very active to abolish the Hindu identity. The Secretary General of UnitedNationalistNepalese.org.USA, A Nepali Scholar Ashutosh Shrivastav has released a news, Aug.14th 2009- 'Planned eradication of Hinduism', -Aug.14th 2009-' Just got the news from Nepal, Christian organizations in Nepal have bribed 50 Lakh rupees to Nepalese Parliament to declare Rhinoceros as the national animal replacing Holy Cow. This will enable them to slaughter cows and inhumanely rape Hinduism.' Again Ashutosh Shrivastav has released-16 Aug.2009 from USA - It is because of few ignorant diplomats, India and Indians are perceived notorious in Nepalese society. As we all know, Nepal was the only Hindu Kingdom in the world. With the congress government in power, Nepal’s monarchy was abolished and the country was declared secular. We all know that religion was never an issue for Nepal. However, a Ghost suddenly edited the Interim constitution and declared the country secular. There are reports that Anti Hindu groups are advocating for cow slaughter in Nepal. It is evident that Indian Congress has historically been against Hindus. Nepal’s Hindu monarchy was abolished with the help of Indian government. We summarily reject the forceful declaration of Nepal as republic and secular country. We need the support of World Hindu Organizations/Buddhist organizations to make Nepal a peaceful place to live. Conversion is expeditiously going on; Hindus are forcefully converted every second whereas politicians have kept the public busy with political agenda. Nepal's declaration as a secular country is a matter of Shame for the Global Hindus. It is a symbolic attack on Hinduism. As one of the members suggested, toppling the Congress government could work in the biggest advantage for India and for the people who support justice, peace, democracy, human rights, freedom and Dharma. We know, Communists do not believe in religion. JNU is popular for producing Extreme Leftists. It was Indian Congress government and policy makers like SD Muni who not only assisted but funded Nepal Maoists to wage a war against Hinduism. They were successful in declaring Nepal a secular country and abolishing Monarchy. Of course, Indian diplomats and congress are responsible for the bloodshed in Nepal and facilitating eradicates Hinduism. Dr. Tilak shrestha says-'Some Janajati people of Nepal have this erroneous idea that Hinduism is about Bahuns exploiting Janajatis. It is far from the truth. I have responded to such ideas in the articles. However, let me point out an interesting fact here. All of us, Janajati or otherwise, have ancestral traditions and cultures, which we are proud of. Matter of fact such roots and traditions define us. No body in Hindu society condemns any of the customs or traditions. However, Christianty forces its converts to agree that all their non-Christian ancestors have gone to hell, and to discard all their traditions as evil. Conversion is basically - here are a few goodies, now give up your traditions and values. It is nothing more than prostitutions.
31 Aug 2009 Newsweek magazine, USA >www.newsweek.com< Lisa Miller writes- According to a 2008 survey, 76 percent of us continue to identify as Christian (still, that's the lowest percentage in American history). Of course, we are not a Hindu—or Muslim, or Jewish, or Wiccan—nation, either. A million-plus Hindus live in the United States, a fraction of the billion who live on Earth. But recent poll data show that conceptually, at least, we are slowly becoming more like Hindus and less like traditional Christians in the ways we think about God, our selves, each other, and eternity. The Rig Veda, the most ancient Hindu scripture, says: "Truth is one, but the sages speak of it by many names." A Hindu believes there are many paths to God. Jesus is one way, the Qur'an is another, Yoga practice is a third. None is better than any other; all are equal. Thirty percent of Americans call themselves "spiritual, not religious," according to a 2009 NEWSWEEK Poll, up from 24 percent in 2005. Stephen Prothero, religion professor at Boston University, has long framed the American propensity for "the divine-deli-cafeteria religion" as "very much in the spirit of Hinduism. And if going to Catholic mass plus the Yoga plus the Buddhist retreat works, that's great, too."
I reiterate the reality, in Maldives and Saudi Arabia, only Muslims can become citizens of that country. Even in Israel, except a few exceptions, only Jews can become its citizens. In Pakistan, a Hindu cannot vote for Muslim candidates. Out of the 199 countries around the world, more than 100 are non-secular countries and of them more than 100 are Muslim and Christian non-secular countries. Despite being aware of the fact it is intriguing that so-called big party leaders (Congress, UML and Maoist) declared Nepal a secular state without the mandate of the people. They directly hurt the feeling of the majority of the Hindus in the country and more than 1 billion Hindus all over the world.
So, Hinduism is the foundation of civilization. We are 85% Hindus and including Buddhists we are 95% in Nepal. In India, an estimated 930 million of its population are followers of Hinduism. The Hindu Philosophy preaches that all the people of the world are our friends. Fraternity & honesty always has been propounded by Hindus. However, the Racism and social discriminations are the great hindrances of Hindus. Of course it needs to be corrected. If we respect each other, our problems will be mitigated gradually. So, we request to all party leaders and every nationals not to minimize the reality of Hinduism and Buddhism, the basis of world civilization.
HINDU SHRINE: PASHUPATINATH IN NEPAL
-By Dirgha Raj Prasai NEPAL Email: dirgharajprasai@gmail.com
The Lord Pashupathinath, Shoyambhunath,Lumbini, Barahachetra, Gosaikunda, Muktinath, Ridi, Janakidham, Devghat of Nepal, Kailash Mansharobar of Tibet (well accessed for Hindus and Buddhas), and Tirupati, Rameshroram, Jagannath, Badrinath, Amarnath of India are the symbolic shrines of Hinduism & Buddhism. Hindu philosophy and its culture and tradition are the founder of world civilization. Hindu shrine Pashupatinath (Shiva) is the Lord of all Hindus. The Lord Pashupatinath Temple sits on a sacred river on the edge of Bagmati, Kathmandu Nepal. The complex rises up from the bank amid a mass of pagoda-style buildings. The temple moves to ancient rhythms. And one of its many traditions has been to recruit its priests from Brahmins from far-away south India. But, for the first time, the south Indians have been replaced by local, Nepali priests. It used to be that the temple authorities would appoint its priests in conjunction with the king- and he was always happy to maintain the link with south India. The fiercely secular communists would have few qualms about dispensing with the services of the south Indian Brahmins.
Nepalese Maoists have tried to destroy the identity of Pashupatinath, Living Goddess Kumari, Bikram Sambat and its calendar and every norm of Hindus. In 2008, the Maoists have appointed their own people. We Nepalese people are worried that Pashupati complex is being used as a playground for politics.The Bhandaris are the traditional temple caretakers, including Nepalese nationalists the Bhandaris also protested against the decision of Maosts. The temple decision has led to demonstrations by Hindu groups. Nepal’s Supreme Court directed the temple authorities to clarify the controversy and not to let the newly appointed Nepali priests perform the rituals. The Supreme Court has ordered the trust to allow the three Indian priests to carry on with the rituals till its verdict.Traditionally; the temple authorities would appoint its priests in conjunction with the king.
King Gyanendra said to keep the hallowed Hindu shrine of Pashupatinath out of dispute and not to tarnish the image of Nepal as a country where different religions had co-existed in harmony down the ages'. So, the Pashupati temple should not be the place for the party's decision. Almost in 1343 AD in the regime of Licchabi, Muslim ruler Samsuddin, who hailed from Bengal (India) attacked Kathmandu and attacked Pashupatinath temple. After 665 years, more than a hundred Maoists and cadres of YCL (agnostic) broke the lock of the Pashupatinath's main shrine and took the newly appointed priest. It was a matter of regret.
Now, since Sep.1st 2009 two priests have beaten by Maoists into the compound of Pashupatinath. The priests were badly injured. Since 300 hundred years, the priests are devoting in Pashupatinath as a pure Hindu but not as Indian. The tradition has been already establishing. Then, who can ovoid the cultural traditions? Cultural traditions can't change by the political Party and constitution. But, now, it is a simple thing for Maoists to beat and thrash. A group of Maoists are active to disturb and abolish the Hindus cultural assets. The priest- Girish Bhatta and Raghavendra Bhatta, are not the problem, but that is the issues of abolishing the Hindu Monarch & Hindu Kingdom from Nepal. Hindus & Buddhists are feeling, without Nepalese monarchy, the culture and Dams, Temples of Nepal and India can't save.
Yes, if Bhatta had voluntarily resigned new priests could be appointed with the reason there of citing the prevalent law regarding the worship and management of Pashupatinath. Since legendary period Newar Rajopadhya could also be appointed as Bhatta (priest) . Rajopadhya should be traced from Bangemuda (kathmandu) & Banepa ( Kabre) In 1746 AD Pratap Malla the King of Kathmandu came in touch of Kartatac King and appointed Gyanananda & Lambakarna as priests of Pashupatinath. They were tantrik (having mystic power). Till now, there are four Bhatta priests & 106 Newars as Bhandaris (store keepers & protectors) Bhandaris are chronologically important. Only those born in Devpatan, the Pashupati area are entitled for worshiping lord Pashupatinath. Bhandaris are the owners of their houses.
The area of Pashupatinath imcompasses 264 hectre of land including 518 temples and monuments. We want to protect and safeguard the heritage. The Rajbhandaris must be reinstated. The decision done by Maoist must be scraped out. Maoist followed the villainous part as played by Samasuddin from Bengal having a force of thirty one thousand Muslims plundering and vandaling the faith and trust of Hindu & Buddhist in Bikram Era 1400. The last Licchivi regime was very weak. There was a great chaos after the Muslims attack. To save the regime from such a dreadful situation Jayasthiti Malla , the Ksha King having cooperation and assistance from kings of Palpa, Kaski, Gorkha and Lamjung, attacked vigorously on Muslim army. Thirty thousand and four hundred soldiers were killed and almost six hundred fled away. It is carved and can be seen in Bhatapur Taleju temple. Then, Jayasthiti Malla ascended the throne of Kathmandu and reconstructed the temple and constructed the Rama temple across the Bagmati river and established Kumbheshwar Mahadev and performed Kotihom (oblation for one Crore over the sacred fire) He laid the strict rule regarding the entrance for the Hindus & Buddhists only. This is inviolable.
King Jyotirmalla writes in stone tablets- 'about Pashupatinath in 1465 Bs, lord Pashupatinath having five mouths along with worshipable Bashuki the holy serpent. King Pratap Malla was famous in stone tablets. Prithvinarayan shah the great, worshipped lord Pashupatinath duing his integration of Kingdom. It is stated in Lingua Bambshabali. Prithbinarayan Shah had got carved in Basantapur Place in 1826 Bs after his Victory over Kathmandu valley-' lord Pashupatinath & Goddess Guheshwari may bless Nepal for keeping sovereignty and stability along with Shah popular Regime. Royal seals were attached regarding the worship of Lord Pashupatinath by King Ranabahadur Shah, King Mahendra, King Birendra and King Gyanendra as well. Since 1979, UNESCO has kept this core area as a world heritage. It encompasses four hector of land as a very sensitive area. Let this government be away from imposing political interference over Hindus & Buddhists. The decision done in contravention of all the rules & the regulations regarding the Pashupatinath worship is scraped immediately. So, this is the high time to be conscious & united on the part of Hindus, Buddhists in all over the world as well as all patriotic Nepali. BRAHMANBAD, INTELLECTUALISM AND CULTURALISMBY DIRGHA RAJPRASAI Email: dirgharajprasai@gmail.com The creation of civilization is Brahmanbad. Brahmanbad is guided by intellectualism and culturalism. The origin of human civilization is Himabatkhand of Nepal. The Himabatkhand covers the land of Brahmaputra in east, Hindukush in west, Kailash Mansarobar in north and Ganga River in south. In past, Nepal was greater than what it is today. This region is the origin of Bedas, Upanishads, Purans and Nitishastra. As the region has been irrigated by Himalaya borne rivers, several saints of different ethnicity have enriched it through spirituality and knowledge.
aspirations of the Nepalese people.
