Science of Manifestation – Letter, Light and Sound

In our earlier articles on manifestation process called Vastureva Vaastu which gives rise to a set of principles and a mathematical order. The application of those principles to poetry, dance, music, sculpture and architecture gives rise to vibrating living forms. These fundamental principles help us better to understand the relation between every letter or word with corresponding light and sound…

The whole of cosmic structure is effected and maintained by innumerable streams of manifestation. These streams are subsumed under two categories:

• Cosmic flux of sound called sabhda prapanca and
• Cosmic flux of light modified into worldly objects called artha prapanca.

Both realms of sound and light are well balanced by the rhythmic creative order of the Divine. The beauty of the Divine order could be seen in the symmetrical, balanced and simultaneous existence of both the subjective world (sabda prapanca) and the objective world (artha prapanca). Both quality wise and quantity wise, this balance, symmetry and simultaneity are maintained. For example, if there emerge 100 forms on the subjective side, simultaneously and correspondingly there emerge 100 forms on the objective side. Only on this account, the science of grammar of language maintains that all the words are denotative of their corresponding referents/objects. There is no empty word bereft of referent-significance and there is no object with out being characterized by relevant sound-significance. Sabda prapanca and Artha prapanca are always interdependent.

Mamuni Mayan, having impeccably known the subtle principles of the science of manifestation, sets forth this cosmic balance maintained between sound-forms and light-forms. In Aintiram, the Key-work of Mayan, one of the Sutras reads: “Oli-Oli vadivaay ongum elutte.” Peripherally this means: “Letter is ever rising and functioning in the form of both light and sound.” But apart from this peripheral meaning, we could observe the multiple dimensions of meaning as radiating from the sutra. The main source of such radiation of multiple meanings is the term ‘eluttu’.

‘Eluttu’ is derived from the word ‘elu’ meaning ‘the creative urge’, ‘excited to manifest’, ‘operative stir’. As such, the different meanings of the term ‘eluttu’ as conceived by Mayan are – letter/phoneme, pranava – the primal letter, the inexhaustible cosmic stuff, the imperishable existence (akshara), square mandala, sculptured object and so forth.

It is generally understood that letter or phoneme (defined in the dictionary as: Any of the minimal units of speech sound in a language that can distinguish one word from another.) is concerned with sound only. Sound and light are inseparable and as such each letter is charged with sound energy and light energy. For example, ‘a’ is associated not only with its articulated sound but also with its own luminous form characterized by color, emerging factor and relevant function. The Vatulagama states (2:35):

“‘a’ is of the nature of all divinities; it is red; it is capable of bringing all the existents into its fold.”

This means that ‘a’ is inseparably associated with multi-divine factors, red color and the power of unfolding or enfolding. The luminous form ‘a’ itself is constituted by four energies, as the Paushkaragama puts it (8:13):

“On the top of ‘a’ is Paudri; on its face is Vama; on its sides exists Ambika. Jyeshta Sakti is in the middle, like a staff.”

This is how the actual subtle form of ‘a’ appears. Similarly, all other letters from ‘a’, ‘i’, etc, have their own subtle forms constituted by many other saktis. Since all the letters are charged with and energized by different potencies, they function as the creative and regulating powers of the universe. They are not inert letters. Actually there is no such letter as marred with inertness.

Every word or letter is derived from the Divine-I-Consciousness, which is with constant creative urge expressed by its ever-going ‘spanda’ or ‘throb’. This consciousness is called ‘the Supreme Verbum (paraa vaak).

The one to one correspondence between sound and light is maintained at all levels. If there rises one shoot of sound from the Supreme Verbum, simultaneously there arises a shoot of light. Sound forms and light forms are the simultaneous manifestation from the primal source of creation. The energy of the Supreme Verbum flows into various letters from ‘a’ to ‘ksa’, which as conscious forms of energy brings about the manifestation

Prana and Lungs – Part 2

It is through vocal cords that are located in the larynx that sound is produced. Larynx is the sounding box. When the vocal cords are affected by too much straining, as in singing and continuous lecturing, the voice becomes hoarse. In females these cords are shorter. Hence they have a sweet melodious voice. The number of respiration per minute is 16. In pneumonia it is increased to 60, 70, 80 per minute. In Asthma, the bronchial tubes become spasmodic. They contract. Hence there is difficulty in breathing. Pranayama removes the spasm or constriction of these tubes. A small membranous flat cap covers the upper surface of larynx. It is called Epiglottis. It prevents the food particles or water from entering into the respiratory passage. It acts the part of a safety valve. When a small particle of food tries to enter the respiratory passage, cough comes in and the particle is thrown out.

Lungs purify the blood. The blood starts in its arterial journey, bright-red and rich-laden with life-giving qualities and properties. It returns by the venous route, poor, blue-laden with the waste matter of the system. Arteries are tubes or vessels that carry pure oxygenated blood from the heart towards the different parts of the body. Veins are vessels or tubes that carry back impure blood from the different parts of the body. The right side of the heart contains impure venous blood. From the right side of the heart the impure blood goes to the lungs, for purification. It is distributed among the millions of tiny air-cells of the lungs. A breath of air is inhaled and the oxygen of the air comes in contact with the impure blood through the thin walls of the hair-like blood-vessels of the lungs called pulmonary capillaries. The walls of the capillaries are very thin. They are like muslin cloth or sieve. Blood oozes out or exudes readily. Oxygen penetrates through the walls of these thin capillaries. When the oxygen comes in contact with the tissues a form of combustion takes place.

The blood takes up oxygen and releases carbonic acid gas generated from the waste products and poisonous matter, which has been gathered up by the blood from all parts of the system. The purified blood is carried by the four pulmonary veins to the left auricle and thence to the left ventricle. From the ventricle it is pumped into the biggest artery, aorta. From aorta, it passes into the different arteries of the body. It is estimated that in a day 35,000 pints of blood traverses the capillaries of the lungs for purification.

From the arteries the pure blood goes into the thin capillaries. From the capillaries the lymph of the blood exudes, bathes and nourishes the tissues of the body. Tissue respiration takes place in the tissues. Tissues take up the oxygen and leave the carbon dioxide. The impurities are taken by the veins to the right side of the heart.

Who is the creator of this delicate structure? Are you feeling the invisible hand of God behind these organs? The structure of this body bespeaks undoubtedly of the omniscience of the Lord. The Antaryamin or the Indweller of our hearts supervises the working of the inner factory as Drashtha. Without His presence, heart cannot pump blood into the arteries. Lungs cannot carry out the process of purifying the blood. Pray. Pay your silent homage to Him. Remember Him at all times. Feel His presence in all the cells of the body.

Prana and Lungs – Part 1

It will not be out-of-place here to mention a word on lungs and their functions. The organs of respiration consist of two lungs, one on either side of the chest and the air passages that lead to them. They are located in the upper thoracic cavity of the chest, one on each side of median line. They are separated from each other by the heart, the greater blood vessels and the larger air-tubes. The lungs are spongy, porous and their tissues are very elastic. The substance of the lungs contains innumerable air-sacs, which contain air. After post-mortem, when it is placed in a basin of water, it floats. They are covered by a delicate serous membrane called the pleura which contains serous fluid to prevent friction of the lungs, during the act of breathing. One wall of the pleura closely adheres to the lungs. The other wall is attached to the inner wall of the chest. Through this membrane the lungs are fixed to the wall of the chest.

The right lung consists of three lobes.The left lung contains two lobes. Each lung consists of an apex and a base. The base is directed towards the diaphragm, the muscular septum, the dividing wall between throat and abdomen. The apex situated above, near the root of the neck. It is the base that gets inflamed in Pneumonia. The apex of the lung which does not get proper supply of oxygen gets affected by consumption. It affords favorable nidus or breeding ground for Tubercle Bacilli (T.B.). By the practice of Kapalabhati and Bhastrika Pranayamas and deep breathing exercises, these apices get good supply of oxygen and thus phthisis is obviated. Pranayama develops the lungs. He who practices Pranayama will have a powerful, sweet, melodious voice.

The air-passage consists of the interior of the nose, pharynx or throat, larynx or the wind box, or sounding box, which contains two vocal cords, trachea or windpipe: right and left bronchi and the smaller bronchial tubes. When we breathe, we draw in the air through the nose and after it has passed through the pharynx and larynx, it passes into the trachea or windpipe, thence into the right and left bronchial tubes, which in turn, subdivide into innumerable smaller tubes called bronchioles, and which terminate in minute subdivisions in the small air-sacs of the lungs, of which the lungs contain millions. The air-sacs of the lungs when spread out over an unbroken surface, would cover, an area of 1,40,000 square feet.

The air is drawn into the lungs by the action of the diaphragm. When it expands, the size of the chest and lungs is increased and the outside air rushes into the vacuum thus created. The chest and lungs contract, when diaphragm relaxes and the air is expelled from the lungs.

Inner Space: Outer Space

The microcosmic structure is in total identity with macrocosmic structure. The supreme space is throbbing every moment to express itself out. Through the power of inner consciousness, the knower of Vastu should know about light aspects and sound aspects of OM pertaining to both inner and outer space. Those who realize the creative dynamism of inner space can know the dynamism of outer space.

~ Mamuni Mayan in ‘Aintiram’

Time = Space!

Mathematics is rooted in the dynamism of Absolute Time. Time is the vibration of Space. Time and Space are equal. Time is one of the subtle elements of Space (Akasha). Time is the causal element of all objects of the Universe.

~ Mamuni Mayan in ‘Aintiram’

Evolution of Universe – 2

The Space itself becomes spatial forms and time is the instrument that creates, sustains and destroys. In other words, un‐manifest state when pulsates becomes absolute time and this is the creative energy. The process of pulsation confirms to a mathematical order and we will see this order in detail later. You may now understand the phrase that “Time creates, sustains and destroys”. Since if there is no pulsation then nothing happens.

Mamuni Mayan in ‘Aintiram’ quotes

“காலேம எைவக்கும் மூலம், காலேம மூல ஆற்றல்
காலேம ேகாலத் ேதாற்றம், காலேம ஞாலத் ேதாற்றம்”

Time is Source of everything, Time is the primal force,
Time has only manifested as Form, Time has only as manifested as Universe…

“காலக்கூேற கணக்கியலாகி.”

Time splits as Maths in proportion it pulsates.

Here is an interesting modern-day quote by Bertrand Russel’s, “What we perceive as qualities of matter are differences in periodicity”.

Vyasa says in Adi parva chapter 1, shloka 249, says the same thing that Time Creates, sustains and destroys everything.

“kalah srijati bhutani kalah sanharati prajah
sanharantah prajah kalam kalah shamyate punah”

The same is quoted as “Vastur eva Vaastu” which means the unmanifest Paramaanu which is called Vastu (with Single a) becomes Vaastu (gross form – with two aa).

We shall end this part with this thought, the Space is considered as Nataraja (Shiva) – subtle component and Ranganatha is considered as the Earth component. So Shiva and Vishnu are two aspects of the same seed.

“Shivasya hridayam vishnur, Vishnoscha hridayam shivah:” and “Shivaya Vishnu rupaya Vishnave Shiva rupine”

Vishnu is the heart of Shiva and likewise Shiva is the heart of Vishnu and they both are the representation of each other. We already have seen more details about this in Vishnu and Nataraja – Earth and Space.

Evolution of Universe – 1

As per many ancient scriptures, Universe has evolved from itself and not created by someone. The Brahma(Create), Vishnu (Preserve) and Rudra (Destruct) can be attributed to different process heads in this evolution. They are all different aspects of the same consciousness based on their state of being in the process of evolution / devolution.

We are indebted and thankful to the nobel soul Late. Dr. Ganapathi Stapathi, (http://www.vastuved.com/life.htm) who not only unraveled the Vaastu science – the science of Space and time but also brought to light 2 important books which were over 12000+ years old written in Tamil by Mamuni Maayan.

Mamuni Maayan is believed to be the same person who is popularly known in South America as Mayan and the 2012 phenomenon based on Mayan calendar. Dr. Ganapathi has established proofs that the pyramids in Middle East, the temple architecture in India and the structures in Mexico and Guatemala confirm to a single Science and Mathematics seen in all these works. Now let us understand briefly how this evolution process has come about. According to Mayans ‘Aintiram’:

The free space is the unified field of energy and matter and source of all forms that we see in material world. That is why Tamil and Sanskrit defined science as Vingyanam. This space consists of very minute particle called Vinporul, nunporul, Sittrambalam, Paramanu, Oliporul, Microbode (விண்ெபாருள், நுண்ெபாருள், சிற்றம்பலம், பரமாணு, ஒளிப்ெபாருள்) and in many names.

The whole process of evolution is a 5 stage process. (Keep noting the importance of 5 and at the background remember Shiva is represented by Panchakshara (5 letter) mantra (Na~Ma~Si~Va~Ya).

So what is the five stage process?

• This space is called as Moolam (Source).
• This Moolam starts vibrating and this vibration of the space is called Kalam (Absolute Time and not physical time. We will refer this as time only).
• This Kalam (time) vibrates to a mathematical resonance called Seelam (Rhythm).
• This Seelam as it resonates creates Kolam (Shapes – Circles, cubes etc).
• This Kolam becomes our visible Universe which is called Gnalam.

So it is MOOLAM (Source) – KALAM (TIME) – SEELAM (RHYTHM) – KOLAM (SHAPE) – GNALAM (UNIVERSE). மூலம் – காலம் – சலீ ம் – ேகாலம் – ஞாலம், these are 5 stages of evolution.

This means that the Space itself becomes spatial forms and time is the instrument that creates, sustains and destroys. Lord Siva in Tamil is also called as Kalan (காலன்) as to who controls time since Kalam காலம் is time.
