OM mantra chant, the Sound of universe and Ganapati atharvashirsha

By -

        Ganapatiatharvashirsha is about lord Ganesh. It is a part of Atharveveda. Time frame of Atharvaveda is around 1500BC to 500 BC. Gana means group and esha means lord. Ganesh means lord of groups. There are various groups mentioned in Ganapatiatharvashirsha that are owned by lord Ganesh. The groups include ‘Tridevas’ (Bramha, Vishnu and Mahesh), ‘Panchamahabhutas’, expressions of self (Ananda, Bramha(Sat), Chit), Shakti (creation, prevention and destruction), Kala(past, present, future), Guna (Satwa, raja, tama), directions, deha, Varnas (letters), speech, and so on. Om is also a representation of lord Ganesh. Om is a verbal representation of the god. It is ‘Sagun’ (with qualities) but Nirakar (formless) representation of god.
        NASA released audio form of sound of universe few years back. Plasma waves were converted into human audible waves. You may hear these sounds here.
        If you know the sound of OM, you might realize that the sound of universe is very similar to sound of the OM. This is very clearly mentioned in Ganapati Atharvashirsha as follows.
Twam Brahmastvam, Twam Vishnustvam Rudrastvam Indrastvam Agnistvam
Vayastvam Suryastvam Chandramastvam Brahma bhur bhurva swar OM || 6 ||
Meaning: You are Brahma, you are Vishnu, you are Rudra, you are Indra, You are Agni, you are Vayu, you are Surya, you are Chandrama, You are swara (sound) of brahma(universe), Bhu (earth), Bhuvah(space) that is the OM.

        It is astonishing to know that our seers were able to listen to sounds of earth, space and even universe. I wonder what and how much they knew about the universe. They might have created mantras with the help of their knowledge of these sounds of universe. This is just one more reason to respect and follow our culture and ancestors.

The mystic meaning of Shree Saraswathi Yanthram

        Recently someone asked me about the scientific meaning of Shree Saraswathi Yanthram and I thought many of you may have same question. Many Hindus have been drawing and praying Shree Saraswathi Yanthram or Shree Saraswathi sign since childhood. Many of you may know that Shree Saraswathi is a goddess of 14 Vidya or sources of knowledge and 64 Kala or art forms. Therefore, she is also a goddess of creation and creativity.          On another note Shakthi is represented by a triangle in Vedic culture. The real meaning of word Shakthi is skill. You may wonder why a skill is represented by a triangle. A skill is represented by a triangle because a skill requires perfect coordination between Mind, Body & Intellect. The 3 sides of a triangle represent Mind, Body & Intellect. Let’s learn about Shree Saraswathi Yanthram in this context. Below is a picture of Shree Saraswathi Yanthram. As you observe the pictur...

My next upcoming Book: Vedic Astrology Practitioner Manual

By -

As a student of Vedhic astrology, one of the challenges that I faced was studying classical texts. We have so many texts and every text has some exceptional content. Most of the translators did not get a chance to validate the principles mentioned in the texts and due to this, the accuracy of the translation was reduced. One example is Moola Rashi and Dhathu Rashi. This is well explained in my book ‘Untold Vedhic Astrology’. Due to all the reasons mentioned above, I started noting my own observations while studying various classical texts. Over some time, I also felt that novice students of astrology can progress faster if they get validated knowledge. This is also good for the development of Vedhic astrology. Therefore, I decided to publish my notes from various classical texts as a manual. This is a good reference book for novice students of Vedhic astrology.         While making my notes I referred to many classical texts including Bruhath P...
