The Ultimate Science of Gayatri Mantra…!

The Ultimate Science of Gayatri Mantra…!

GAYATRI MANTRA & Its Scientific Meaning

Gayatri mantra has been bestowed the greatest importance in Vedic dharma. This mantra has also been termed as Savitri and Ved-Mata, the mother of the Vedas.

Om bhur bhuvah swah 

Tat savitur varenyam 

Bhargo devasya dheemahi 

Dhiyo yo nah prachodayat 

The literal meaning of the mantra is:

O God! You are Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Almighty, You are all Light. You are all Knowledge and Bliss. You are Destroyer of fear, You are Creator of this Universe, You are the Greatest of all. We bow and meditate upon Your light. You guide our intellect in the right direction.

The mantra, however, has a great scientific importance too, which somehow got lost in the literary tradition. The modern astrophysics and astronomy tell us that our Galaxy called Milky Way or Akash-Ganga contains approximately 100,000 million of stars. Each star is like our sun having its own planet system. We know that the moon moves round the earth and the earth moves round the sun along with the moon. All planets round the sun. Each of the above bodies revolves round at its own axis as well. Our sun along with its family takes one round of the galactic center in 22.5 crore years. All galaxies including ours are moving away at a terrific velocity of 20,000 mile s per second.

  

And now the alternative scientific meaning of the mantra step by step:

(A). OM BHUR BHUVAH SWAH:

Bhur the earth, bhuvah the planets (solar family), swah the Galaxy. We observe that when an ordinary fan with a speed of 900 RPM (rotations Per minute) moves, it makes noise. Then, one can imagine, what great noise would be created when the galaxies move with a speed of 20,000 miles per second. This is what this portion of the mantra explains that the sound produced due to the fast-moving earth, planets and galaxies is Om. The sound was heard during meditation by Rishi Vishvamitra, who mentioned it to other colleagues. All of them, then unanimously decided to call this sound Om the name of God, because this sound is available in all the three periods of time, hence it is set (permanent). Therefore, it was the first ever revolutionary idea to identify formless God with a specific title (form) called upadhi. Until that time, everybody recognized God as formless and nobody was prepared to accept this new idea. In the Gita also, it is said, "Omiti ekaksharam brahma", meaning that the name of the Supreme is Om , which contains only one syllable (8/12). This sound Om heard during samadhi was called by all the seers nada-brahma a very great noise), but not a noise that is normally heard beyond a specific amplitude and limits of decibels suited to human hearing. Hence the rishis called this sound Udgith musical sound of the above, i.e., heaven. They also noticed that the infinite mass of galaxies moving with a velocity of 20,000 miles/second was generating a kinetic energy = 1/2 MV2 and this was balancing the total energy consumption of the cosmos. Hence they named it Pranavah, which means the body (vapu) or store house of energy 

(prana).

(B). TAT SAVITUR VARENYAM:

Tat that (God), savitur the sun (star), varenyam worthy of bowing or respect. Once the form of a person along with the name is known to us, we may locate the specific person.Hence the two titles (upadhi) provide the solid ground to identify the formless God, Vishvamitra suggested. He told us that we could know (realize) the unknowable formless God through the known factors, viz., sound Om and light of suns (stars). A mathematician can solve an equation x2+y2=4; if x=2; then y can be known and so on. An engineer can measure the width of a river even by standing at the riverbank just by drawing a triangle. So was the scientific method suggested by Vishvamitra in the mantra in the next portion as under:- 

(C). BHARGO DEVASYA DHEEMAHI:

 

Bhargo the light, devasya of the deity, dheemahi we should meditate. The rishi instructs us to meditate upon the available form (light of suns) to discover the formless Creator (God). Also he wants us to do japa of the word Om (this is understood in the Mantra). This is how the sage wants us to proceed, but there is a great problem to realize it, as the human mind is so shaky and restless that without the grace of the Supreme (Brahma) it cannot be controlled. Hence Vishvamitra suggests the way to pray Him as under: 

(D). DHIYO YO NAH PRACHODAYAT:

 

Dhiyo (intellect), yo (who), nah (we all), prachodayat (guide to right Direction). O God! Deploy our intellect on the right path. Full scientific interpretation of the Mantra: The earth (bhur), the planets (bhuvah), and the galaxies (swah) are moving at a very great velocity, the sound produced is Om , (the name of formless God.) That God (tat), who manifests Himself in the form of light of suns (savitur) is worthy of bowing/respect (varenyam). We all, therefore, should meditate (dheemahi) upon the light (bhargo) of that deity (devasya) and also do chanting of Om. May He (yo) guide in right direction (prachodayat) our(nah) intellect dhiyo.

So we notice that the important points hinted in the mantra are:-

1) The total kinetic energy generated by the movement of galaxies acts as an umbrella and balances the total energy consumption of the cosmos. Hence it was named as the Pranavah (body of energy). This is equal to 1/2 mv2 (Mass of galaxies x squre of velocity.)

2) Realizing the great importance of the syllable OM , the other later date religions adopted this word with a slight change in accent, viz., Amen and Ameen.

શું તમે પરણેલા છો ?શું તમે વર્લ્ડ કપ જોવા માંગો છો ?‏

શું તમે પરણેલા છો ?

શું તમે વર્લ્ડ કપ જોવા માંગો છો ?

શું ઘરમાં ટીવી પર તમારો કબજો નથી ?

 

તો વર્લ્ડ કપ જોવા માટેનાં કેટલાંક અધીર અમદાવાદી બ્રાંડ ઉપાયો.

1. સહેલામાં સહેલો રસ્તો છે કે બીજું ટીવી વસાવી લો. એ ન પોસાય તો આગળ વાંચો.
2. જો તમારે બાળક હોય તો એને મેચમાં જોવા તૈયાર કરો. તમને એ ના પાડશે પણ બાળકને ના નહિ પાડી શકે.
3. જો એને સંગીતનો શોખ હોય તો એને આઈ પોડ લાવી આપો અને એનાં મનગમતા ગીત શોધીને એમાં લોડ કરી આપો. મેચ વખતે એ કચકચ નહિ કરે.
4. જો એને વાંચવાનો શોખ હોય તો એનાં મનગમતા લેખકની વાર્તાની ચોપડીઓ લઇ આવો.
5. ઘરમાં ગાર્ડનિંગના ટુલ લઇ આવો. એને કહો કે તારા પપ્પાના ત્યાં બહુ સરસ બગીચો છે. શું આપણો બગીચો એવો ન બને ? એ તમને કામમાં જોતારવાના પેંતરા કરે તો એથી બચવાના બહાના માટે આ લખનારની ટીપ્સ એસ.એમ.એસ. દ્વારા મેળવો. (સબસ્ક્રિપ્શન ચાર્જીસ એપ્લાય)
6. વર્લ્ડ કપના સમય ગાળા દરમિયાન શ્રીમતીજી ને પિયર જવા પ્રોત્સાહન આપો. કહો : બકા, બહુ સમયથી તું પિયર ગઈ જ નથી નહિ ? છેલ્લે ફોન આવ્યો ત્યારે મમ્મી પણ તને બહુ યાદ કરતી હતી.
7. વર્લ્ડ કપ ચાલતો હોય ત્યારે પત્નીને કોઈ કુકિંગ, સ્વીમીંગ, જીમ, ડાન્સ, ક્રાફ્ટ એવા કોઈ ક્લાસ જોઈન કરાવી દો. બે ક્લાસ બેક-ટુ-બેક હોય તો બેસ્ટ. જરુરુ પડે તો એને સ્કુલ-કોલેજ દરમિયાન શું હોબી હતો એ તપાસ કરો અને એને અનુરૂપ એક્ટીવીટી શોધી કાઢો.
8. કોઈ ઇવેન્ટ મેનેજમેન્ટ કંપનીને રોકી સમદુખિયાઓ ભેગા થઇ પત્નીઓ માટેની કીટી પાર્ટીનું આયોજન કરો. આ કંપનીઓ કરાર મુજબ તમારા ઘેર ફોન કરીને તમારી પત્નીને ઇનામમાં પાર્ટીનું આમંત્રણ આપશે. કહેવાની જરૂર નથી કે આવી પાર્ટીઓ વર્લ્ડ કપની મેચ સમયે જ ગોઠવાશે.
9. ઘરમાં ધોની અને બ્રેટ લીના પોસ્ટર લગાવો. ફાંદધારી પતિ કરતાં ક્રિકેટરો જોવા એ લોકો વધારે પસંદ કરશે. (મારી સામે આંખો ના કાઢો. તમારો જે પેટનો વિસ્તાર છે એને ગુજરાતીમાં ફાંદ જ કહેવાય.) પણ આમ કરતાં પણ એ તમને મેચ જોવા દેશે. અને ધોની કે લી સુધી એ પહોંચી શકવાની નથી, એટલે ખોટી ચિંતા કરવી નહિ.
10. અને છેલ્લો ઉપાય. રીમોટ હાથમાં લો. પગ પર પગ ચઢાવીને બેસો. અને બોલો : ‘હું બધ્ધી મેચ જોવાનો છું, જા થાય એ ભડાકા કરી લે !’

હેપ્પી વર્લ્ડ કપ વ્યુંઈંગ......

Importance of small things

Buddha, one day, was in deep thought about the worldly activities and the ways of instilling goodness in human beings. The following is the text of conversation between him and his disciple.

One of the disciples approached him and said humbly “Oh my teacher! While you are so much concerned about the world and others, why don’t you look into the welfare and needs of your own disciples also?”.

Buddha: OK…Tell me how I can help you?

Disciple: Master, My attire is worn out and is beyond the decency to wear the same. Can I get a new one please?

Buddha found the robe indeed was in a bad condition which needed replacement. He asked the store keeper to give the disciple a new robe to wear on. The disciple thanked Buddha and retired to his room.

Though he met his disciple’s requirement, Buddha was not all that contended on his decision. He realized he missed out some point. A while after, he realized, what he should have asked the disciple? He went to his disciple’s place and asked him “Is your new attire comfortable? Do you need anything more?”

Disciple: Thank you my Master. The attire is indeed very comfortable. I need nothing more.

 
Buddha: Having got the new one, what did you do with your old attire?

 
Disciple: I am using it as my bedspread.

 
Buddha: Then…hope you have disposed off your bed spread.

 
Disciple: No…no…Master. I am using my old bedspread as my window curtain

.
Buddha: What about your old curtain?

 
Disciple: Being used to handle hot utensils in th

e kitchen

 
Buddha: Oh…I see…Can you tell me what they did with the old cloth they
used in Kitchen?

 
Disciple: They are being used to wash the floor.

 
Buddha: Then, the old rug being used to wash the floor…????

 
Disciple: Master, since they were torn off so much, we could not find
any better use, but to use as a twig in the oil lamp, which is right
now lit in your study room….

 

Buddha smiled in contentment and left for his room.

The Best Salesman Ever !!

A keen immigrant Indian Gujarati lad applied for a salesman’s job at London ‘s premier downtown department store. 

In fact, it was the biggest store in the world – you could get anything there.

The boss asked him, “Have you ever been a salesman before?”

“Yes sir, I was a salesman in India “, replied the lad. The boss liked the cut of him and said, “You can start tomorrow and I’ll come and see you.”

The day was long and arduous for the young man, but he got through it.

And finally 6:00 PM came around.

The boss duly fronted up and asked, “How many sales did you make today?” 

“Sir, Just ONE sale.” said the young salesman.

“Only one sale?” blurted the boss. “No! No! You see here, most of my staff make 20 or 30 sales a day. “If you want to keep this job, you’d better be doing better than just one sale.

By the way “How much was the sale worth?”

93300534.00 pounds” said the young Gujarati. “What”,

” How did you manage that?” asked the flabbergasted boss.

“Well”, said the salesman, “This man came in and I sold him a small fish hook, then a medium hook and finally a really large hook.

Then I sell him new fishing rod and some fishing gear.

Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the coast.

So I told him he’d be needing a boat, so I took him down to the boat department and sold him that twenty-foot schooner with the twin engines.

Then he said his Volkswagen probably wouldn’t be able to pull it, so I took him to our automotive department and sold him that new Deluxe 4X4 Blazer.

I then asked him where he’ll be staying, and since he had no accommodation, I took him to camping department and sold him one of those new igloo 6-sleeper camper tents. Then the guy said, while we’re at it, I should throw in about $100 worth of groceries and two cases of beer.

The boss took two steps back and asked in astonishment,

“You sold all that to a guy who came in for a fish hook!!”

“No” answered the salesman,

“he came in to buy a headache relief tablet and I said to him, “Sir, fishing is best headache removal”

Boss – “You sit in my chair…….

Moral of the story::

 
According to me, the salesman was able to make that sale not because of his convincing power or ability to sale but due to his ability to understand the complete use case for the customer. A normal salesman would have sold the tablet that he was asked for and be happy but this salesman actually tried to understand the customer’s problem and helped him to solve the problem.

Again this can become true only in ideal scenarios where a salesman has time enough to understand the customer problem. But I think it is a good quality for a salesman to have....
