Light, God and God Particle…

At the beginning it was just Consciousness that was luminescent with unmanifested potential energy and residing at resonant state of non‐vibration. This energy was self manifest and was ever-present as Paramaanu or Microbode or Vinporul aka a subatomic or god particle. This is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent.

If we look at this particle’s characteristics scientifically, it is Eternal (Anaadi), Primordial (Aadi), without any quality (Nirguna), it cannot be reached / grasped by thoughts of mind (Achintya) since thoughts as energy are much more gross than this, it cannot be measured (Aprameya), Luminescent (Jyothi swaroopa), its omnipotence (Ishvara), omnipresence (Vishva) and Omniscience (Sarvajna) is already known. We can observe that all the characteristics of the god particle are attributed to a personality or a state by the founders of religions.

Every religion and sage has agreed with the fact this fundamental particle or potential energy is LUMINESCENT. Let us see few quotes on this (there are thousands of quotes):

• Be it Vedic culture, Zoroastrians, Greek or any major culture fire / sun god which represents light is worshiped.
• “Om Jyothi rasaha” says Vedas
• In Gayatri mantra you meditate on the supreme light to illuminate you.
• Vallalar said “Arutperumjyothi, Arutperumjyothi” which means mighty graceful light.
• If therefore your eye be single, your whole body shall be full of light. Mathew 6:22
• Siddhar Thirumoolar sayss brilliantly that one who realizes that the light (physical light which means the world) merges with light (subtle light), he has realized Siva(Consciousness).

ஒளியில் ஒளிேபாய் ஒடுங்கிய வாறும்
ெதளியும் அவேர சிவ சித்தர் தாேம – 124

So what has happened to the Sabda Brahman (Sound) here? It has merged with the Artha Brahman which is the Light. What can you use to represent this state? Light represents Form and our eyes represent Light / Form. So obviously sound is represented by ears. When sound has merged with light then it means Eyes and ears are merged together. Can you think of anything that represents this state?

[Lord Nataraja in Manduka Mandala (8x8 grid) by Dr. Ganapathi Sthapati]

This concept is captured by representing a Manduka (Frog) or Sarpa (Snake) always. Since for a frog and a snake the ears and eyes are merged. Manduka Upanishad, represents knowledge of this state. And obviously the 8×8 square / cube represent the most subtle energy as an energy grid is called as Manduka Pada / Mandala. The same aspect when it is applied to a gross form / body or a building then it is a 9×9 energy grid and it is called as Paramasyika Mandala. At the gross level the same concept as applied is the WORD where Light (form) and sound and meaning merged into one.

Characteristics of the Parama Anu (God Particle) – 2

• Are these particles faster than light?

Light travels at a speed of over 300,000 kilometers per second. Theoretically, nothing is faster than light. Some scientists are even suggesting Neutrinos still faster than light in latest version of experiment. In Mahabharatha, Yakshaprasna, the Yaksha will question this to King Yudhishtra as to “what is fastest thing in this world”? King Yudhishtra would reply as “mind”.

According to the Buddha, the speed of mind is faster than the speed of light. In a split of second, the mind can travel and reach up to three thousand of galaxies of worlds. Not only that the mind is fast and far-reaching, its karmic effect are extensive and profound. Always busy is the mind which runs into the past, the present, the future, and back and forth. It grasps at anything it comes across. The mind is constantly loaded with creations made of images, odors, tastes, sounds, touch contacts and discriminating thoughts. As a result, we are trapped in a fast-moving, non-stop, elusive and karmic mental stream. It hinders us from seeing our original nature. That is why we need to control and purify our mind.

Some of the sages have interpreted that since Consciousness is omnipotent and ever connected the communication is seamless, instantaneous and not subjected to the concept of distance. Remember, mind operates only with in the limits of time and space. But Paramaanu or God Particle operates beyond Time and Space. It is instantaneous and hence the whole universe needs to be considered as a being. So to conclude each particle is filled with intelligence and consciousness and their communication to anything is not subject to concept of distance.

• Who has seen these particles, any empirical proof?

Mamuni Mayan said: Supreme Being is omnipresent and the exceptional art (manifestation process) is eternal. Experience of the Supreme Being’s consciousness led me to worship spiritual Light. Blessings of the Supreme Being helped me visualize ‘Nataraja,’ the dance of Shiva (vibration of the thread of consciousness – Brahma Sutra). Blessings of the Supreme Being helped me create this magnificent art. Nataraja or Luminous thread is the Cosmic Dancer who dances or vibrates by its own volition as it arouses itself to manifest within itself. This vibration or frequency gives rise to the entire material world as individuated frequencies or waveforms. These manifested waveforms called Vishnu (Vaastu) become the Dance. This form is visually demonstrated and encoded through the beautiful statue Mayan cognized and created called Nataraja. When we look at Manduka Mandala or Vastu Purusha Mandala we can think of Nataraja and Luminous space. This inimitable light that Nataraja demonstrates is of the nature of consciousness itself.

परमानुिरित प्रोक्तं योिगनाम 􀇺ि􀃧ट गोचरम ! (Paramaanuriti proktam Yoginaam, drishti gocharam) says Mayamatham. This means the microspace or Paramaanu is visible to the trained contemplatives and meditators only. Living proof for all is the Temple in Chidambaram which represents Space tattva where the temple is built around the concept with enough documentation on it. Many great sages, siddhars, rishis and yogis have seen it and expressed this divine light form in their poems and scriptures. Some of sages like Mamuni Mayan have not only seen this, but have given the dimensions of this and the mathematical formula to manage this energy. Salutations to all the great souls…

Characteristics of the Parama Anu (God Particle) – 1

Mamuni Mayan identified the structure of infinite and finite energy particles. Mayan defined the vibration of inner Space and outer Space as a quantifiable one by virtue of which he was able to identify the structure of these energy particles and an order in the development of forms of matter. He discovered that the subtlest and smallest particle exists as a cubical structure containing a vibrating Thread of Consciousness or Cosmic Fire. This Cosmic Fire is the creative element. This particle he called anu or Microabode (Dr. V. Ganapati Sthapati). The Microabode is the smallest particle in the Absolute or relative existence. It is the foundation from which all matter rises. Absolute Space is packed with these energy particles.

The entire Space filled with these particles only and these were primal potential matter which is ever lasting. Last week we saw more details about Parama Anu, the God particle. We will now explore more on its characteristics…

• What was the shape of this particle?

We have already answered earlier. In 2D it is square and in 3D it is a cuboid with all equal sides. Please note that in space it is always 3D and not 2D. It has 6 faces, 8 vertices, and 12 edges. This is known is current scientific community as Tetrahedron.

• What is inside the Microbode or Subatomic particle?

This is a very interesting question. It is an 8×8 energy grid inside this microbode. This essentially means it is a square energy grid of 64 squares inside this Paramaanu.

• What is this color of this Paramaanu?

It is luminescent and hence the golden color of the light is what it is associated with. “Hiranyavarnnaam harineem..” says Sri Suktha in the vedas, confirming the color of this Paramanu. Their variations exist but the fundamental one is of golden color.

• What is the significance of the 8×8 energy grid?

The 8×8 cube is called Manduka Mandala. There are 64 modules or padas within the 8×8 cube. Each module/pada within the cube is of equal size and shape. The cubical structure of the 64 squares of the Manduka mandala is the graphic and atomic structure of the whole cosmos and is the modified version or representational version of the Pranava Veda. The exact center of the 64 squares is called Moolam or primal dot. The primal dot is square in shape and has within itself the presence of 64 squares and within those 64 squares is another primal dot with 64 innate squares with primal dot ad infinitum. (Dr.S.P. Sabharathnam, p xi, Mayan’s Aintiram)

Each module or pada within the 8×8 structure resonates with a specific Space Time, Light, Sound and elemental frequency based upon its position in the Space/ Time continuum. This frequency is called a luminous body or devata or padas or riks. This devata has particular attributes based upon its position and qualities in the Space/Time continuum (placement among the 64 sub-cubes or padas).

In other words anything subtle is a function of 8 and anything gross is a function of 9. The iChing – which is a Chinese divination book and the hexagram which deals with the Science of the subtle is in an 8×8 square matrix. The mental game Chess is played in an 8×8 square. We would find 8 is the number or dimension for the subtle. We will see the importance of 8 and 9 and how beautifully these proportions adorn everything in nature in our daily life later.

A brave soldier?

One day a spiritual Master was meditating with some of his disciples and a few seekers. After about twenty minutes, he looked around and said, “Is there anyone who would like to ask me a spiritual question?” One disciple raised his hand and asked, “Master, could you please say something about your disciples’ spiritual development?”

“My child,” replied the Master, “I can only tell you that I love all my spiritual children dearly, no matter what their level of spiritual attainment may be.”

“Please tell us more,” begged the disciples. “Can you tell us more about the different levels of development?”

The Master paused. “Let me tell you a story,” he said. “Once there were three dolls. These dolls were conscious dolls. One was made of sugar, one was made of cloth and one was made of burnt stone. Now it happened that each of these dolls entered into the sea. When the one that was made of sugar entered into the sea, it totally dissolved. The second doll entered into the sea, and came out fully soaked. Then the third doll entered bravely into the sea. When it came out it just shook its body, and not a trace of water was left on it.

There also, my children, I have three types of disciples. One type, when he enters into the ignorance-sea, is totally lost, totally melted. When the second type enters into the ignorance sea, he is able to come out. But ignorance is all around his consciousness. He still carries ignorance with him. The third type enters into ignorance bravely and fights against ignorance. He not only comes out victorious, but he also takes up the challenge of transforming ignorance into wisdom-light.

“I do hope one day all of my disciples will fit into the third category: brave soldiers of the Supreme entering into the sea of ignorance like warriors, fighting against ignorance and coming out victorious, and finally changing ignorance-sea into wisdom-light.”

The disciples bowed down to their Master and said, “You have inspired and illumined us. We shall all strive from now on to become brave soldiers of your mission, soldiers of the Supreme, fighting against the forces of ignorance and ultimately transforming them.”

Spiritual Evolution?

Why to wake up early in the morning? – 2

We will now explore this question with our breath (Prana), its location and the time of the day pattern. The breath changes its location-based on time of the day as shown below. It is important here to note that time of the day being given in ancient scripture the start time always corresponds with sunrise. Since Sunrise may vary from location to location, the breath location and its time would also vary accordingly. The start of the day is Sunrise is ancient calendars and not midnight like we have in the Gregorian calendar. This is more aligned with nature since the start of the day signifies a change in the nature (such as sunrise). Please consider 6 am as the sunrise time in the chart below.

If we add all the breath counts, it will add up to 21600 for the entire day. The breath stays at Ajna and Sahasrara from 3.47am to 6.00am. Ajna and Sahasrara are the center for meditation and are chakras which control higher consciousness in an individual. These centers are energized and the Prana is seated in these chakras between 4am to 6am. This is why Brahma Muhurtam is the right time for meditative practices. One more thing note here is the start of New Year like Uttarayan (Jan 15th) or start of every season (there are 6 seasons in a year as per Indian calendar) or time of the day or day of the week everything is special because of its effect on our breath and nothing else. These are just a remainders set about ancient forefathers to make us more aware.

As very famously put by this saying “Vinasakaale Vibhareetha Buddhi”, which means bad times start for an individual with a spoilt mind. Nature has an uncanny way of influencing our mind based on our Karma so that we do either good or bad things led by our mind. The effect of nature / macrocosm on us is actually on our Buddhi (Intellectual Mind) is very difficult to detect and control but the external signal for the state of our mind is the breath.

Breath within us is both an input ingredient and also an output indicator. When we control the breath as an input ingredient then we can control our mind and hence our health and life. At the same time when our mind is very emotional then breathe which is erratic, heavy and non-rhythmic is an output indicator. Hence by understanding the right way of breath management we can control our fate. This is a secret in ancient yogic system which is not understood by many. In Tamil there is a saying called “விதிைய மதியால் ெவல்லலாம்”. This is wrongly interpreted as “We can win over our fate by using our mind”. But the word மதி means Mind and also Moon. The secret meaning of this saying is if we control the lunar breath then we can win over our death / fate. Hope we all are now more aware about our breath and why we need wake up early in the morning.

The Three Types Of Eaters?

One day a spiritual Master was playing his flute while his disciples were eating. He was getting joy from watching them eat. After some time, he asked them if they would like to hear a story from him. They said, “Of course, of course.”

The Master said, “I will tell you a very short story. There are three kinds of eaters. One type of eater will eat voraciously no matter how the food tastes. He feels that since God has given him the body, he must eat. The more he eats, the more he thinks that he is pleasing God, since the body is God’s creation. So he eats anything he gets.

The second type will eat whatever he is given, no matter what quantity. If the food is good, he is happy. If the food is bad, he accepts this, knowing that every day one cannot eat most delicious food. He tolerates the fact that, from worldly human beings who cook every day, one cannot always receive a delicious meal. After all, not even one day is the food unbearable; always there is some standard. Therefore, whatever he gets is all right.

The third type of person says to God, ‘O God, today by Your Grace I am eating. Tomorrow I may not get any food, but that also I shall take as Your Grace. Whatever happens to me I feel is an experience that You are giving me. So if You give me food, it is wonderful, and if You do not give me food, it is also wonderful, for I will feel that You want to give me a specific experience. I shall be equally satisfied in Your divine dispensation. If You give, I feel that for my progress You are doing so. If You do not give, it is again for my progress. Your Will is my will. I don’t want to have any will of my own.’

To the first group the Lord says, ‘My Eternity will take care of you.’

To the second group He says, ‘My Divinity is pleased with you.’

To the third group He says, ‘My oneness-life is all pride in you. Your oneness in My Greatness and your oneness with My Goodness will always satisfy Me. Your aspiration is great, your dedication is good. Your realization of My highest Height and deepest Depth is not a far cry, but imminent.’”
