If we wish to lead happy lives such arrangements should be pondered over, designed and executed for world well being.

 

Hardships do not rain from the sky. It is in fact a creation of human thinking. If man so desires heaven can manifest on earth permanently.

 

A new dawn a new light-we shall manifest this on earth. A new era will dawn. The 21st century will be radiant.

 

The divine mission of Yuga Rishi Shriram Sharma Acharya called Yuga Nirman Yojana shall flourish in the 21st century and achieve its sacred goal.

 

THE SACRED LAND OF SHANTIKUNJ: Shantikunj is a living laboratory of spirituality. There inner transformation of human beings takes place by awakening latent powers present in him. The goal is to ready volunteers for world welfare service so that a new radiant era dawns in the 21st century. Shantikunj (Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India) is full of spiritual wealth. This land is the area where Brahmarshi Vishwamitra performed intense austerities. The aim of the organization called Yuga Nirman Yojana is ‘Advent of a Bright Future in the 21st Century’.

 

The above true resolve is the subtle form of an Avatar or incarnation of Almighty God. This verily is the resolve of Yuga Nirman Yojana.

PRAYER 2

 

EARTHQUAKES ARE A DIRE WARNING

 

 

That day of earthquake was a dire day.

Why did the creator choose the Republic Day of India?

All children had gathered to hoist the national flag.

Almighty God saved them who are India’s future.

 

This was a small exhibition of Mahakala’s (Super Divine Time) Tandava dance.

It was a dire warning to criminal, unethical and sinning people.

If such undesirable baggage augments the world over I shall definitely prove to be more destructive.

Instead of insane generations blooming forth it is best that destruction takes place.

 

Come! Let us all together dwell on wholesome constructive thinking.

Let us avoid destruction by warding off bloody wars and ill will the world over.

Like children of one mother let the entire world live blissfully like a family.

If Mother Nature is appeased by us, never will another quake send shivers down our spine.

 

Our Divine Mother’s family will live in harmony and brotherhood the world over.

This is not an earthquake but is a warning to our very existence.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PRAYER 3

 

THE WORLD DOES NOT YET KNOW……

 

 

Sage Vyas and Lord Ganesha together wrote many things

But Yuga Rishi Shriram Sharma alone wrote millions of valuable pages

None have authored and none will in future author 4000 precious books

Eras will pass by so as to break Yuga Rishi Shriram Sharma’s unnoted record

The world does not know Yuga Rishi Shriram Sharma ……….

 

 

Yuga Rishi Shriram Sharma performed 24 Mahapurashcharanas of 2.4 million

In order to save the world he chanted Mantras and performed austerities and millions of Yajnas

In a short span of 3 years Yuga Rishi Shriram Sharma created 3000 Gayatri Temples

None is capable enough to break this unnoted record of Yuga Rishi Shriram Sharma

The world does not know Yuga Rishi Shriram Sharma ……….

 

 

With a few miracles many have become ‘God men’

O Gurudeva Yuga Rishi Shriram Sharma! The world does not know of your millions of silent miracles

They do not know his spiritual practice of becoming subtle and invisible beneficial acts

In order to protect creation Yuga Rishi Shriram Sharma established unknown feats

The world does not know Yuga Rishi Shriram Sharma ……….

 

 

When the future era will know of this great event

When they will know many divine sports of God in the human garb

Today’s fundamentalists will cry and wail aloud

And shout from rooftops that the Guinness Book of World Record be rewritten

The world does not know Yuga Rishi Shriram Sharma ……….

 

Mother Gayatri is Brahma, the sacrificial pit is Vishnu and the flame as Agni Shikha is Lord Shiva

The burning torch (flame) indicates the Tandava dance of Lord Shiva in his fiercest aspect

Today’s thought revolution represents the 3rd eye of Lord Shiva

Shiva assumes his fierce aspect of a raging fire and reduces to ashes whatever evil is present in the deluded world and renders it unsullied and sacred.

Thus the road to cosmic peace is rendered free from any obstructions

The world does not know Yuga Rishi Shriram Sharma ……….

 

 

 

 

 

INTRODUCTION

 

The sun is said to be the life force of creation. It is because of the sun that life sustains on planet earth. Assuming that for one day the solar deity refuses to rise at dawn life on earth would become chaotic and unruly. Solar rays imbue creatures with zest and zeal and hence the sun is given utmost importance. And despite all this know for sure that the sun is not merely a ball of blazing inferno. It is not as though it is merely emitting flames of gases like hydrogen/helium which in turn manifest immense energy. This in fact is the material or gross description of the sun. In its subtle aspect the sun is the director of our thought process, chief of all planets and inducer of great sentiments in our psyche. It is indeed the very soul of all living beings. A deeper outlook tells us that spiritually it is the light of God as cosmic consciousness and that of super mind. The word Soorya or sun means that which inspires us with sacred sentiments.

 

The root import of the spiritual leg of Indian Culture is definitely solar meditation. The demon Raavana was defeated by Lord Raama only after imbibing the mystery of the heart of Aaditya or solar deity. Yudhishthira and his brothers first got initiated into solar meditation from Dhaumya Muni. The energy that manifested as a result made them invincible. Our Rishi literature oozes with eulogies of solar deity. In the Rig Veda (5/81/1) it is said that the widespread eulogy of solar deity/Savita is indeed great.

 

Sun is Savita deity in the form of divine existence of the sun as creator-illuminator. Savita is that which is a creator, eulogized as absolute truth, nurturer of all humanity and who coaxes man to give up his limited ego ‘I’ and merge into cosmic divine existence. We dedicate this e-book to Yuga Rishi Shriram Sharma Acharya who has merged into cosmic consciousness i.e. the substratum of Savita-sun, authority that destroys sins and deity of Super Mantra Gayatri.

…………………………BRAHMAVARCHAS RESEARCH INSTITUTE

 

A realized saint of Kanpur (India) who is no longer in our midst said in the year 1986 AD: While worshipping the sun we are actually meditating on the divine power of our revered Gurudeva Shriram Sharmaji. This saint was an accomplished Taantrika. Whosoever was blessed by him attained desired fruits. Sometimes this saint came to Shantikunj (Haridwar, Uttaranchal, India, website: www.awgp.org) for 5 days and then would return to Kanpur (India). Physically he had never visited any pilgrim spot and yet when he described them it seemed as though he actually had done so. He would say: When I go to sleep I visit all pilgrim spots with my subtle astral body. This was absolutely true. Initially he was an ordinary official in the postal department but later had obtained so many divine powers through austerities that whomsoever he blessed attained their desires. Therefore we were surprised when this saint said he desired to meet Gurudeva. He wanted to get initiated by Gurudeva else he felt he would miss out on attaining his spiritual goal.

 

We asked this saint: Why do you want to get initiated? You have chanted so many Gayatri Mantras and have as a result obtained so many divine powers. Hence why this desire for initiation? The saint answered: Do you think I have come to Shantikunj to roam around aimlessly? Oh! At Shantikunj one finds so much divinity all around. Mahaakaal (God of Time) himself dwells here. I do not know whether you have fully understood the greatness of your Gurudeva but whatever I know about him tells me that after many eons Lord Maheshwara and Mother Parvati have come down on earth to bring about a powerful transformation of this world. Hence if I get initiated by him I shall definitely attain salvation or Moksha. The time has arrived for me to shed my mortal coil and know for sure that Gurudeva too will end his sojourn on earth in about 4 years time. He will merge his subtle body so the time now is ripe for me to get initiated by him.

 

Despite the saint’s observations my curiosity had not been fully satisfied. I queried thus: You too are an accomplished sage then why would you want initiation? He replied: You yet have not understood its importance. The Divine Powers/Sidhis which I possess are mere peripherals and are bound by time and space. They no doubt influence everyone and yet despite this what divine prowess Gurudeva possesses can easily liberate a devotee from the shackles of time and space eternally. Assuming that I am a small bulb of light revered Gurudeva is its very powerhouse and much greater than the gigantic sun too. To date he has experimented albeit successful on a large scale on human consciousness. He has induced a ‘Shirshaasan’ in the sun (head on the ground and feet dangling in air). His power has merged into divine sun god. Savitri pervades the entire cosmos and Gurudeva via meditation and other such subtle spiritual endeavors has merged into it. Hence forth you will see this power influencing the entire world. I yearn to fulfill my ‘selfish’ desire of initiation. It is very difficult to come in contact with such a great preceptor. You are fortunate to contact that great preceptor whom devotees have tried to meet for eons together. You all have done so for carrying out his stupendous mission in this world. Now it is for you to realize his true divine greatness. Only then you will understand that Divine Powers/ Sidhis possessed by my self are naught in its comparison. Please help me get his grace via initiation that will ensure that no longer will I undergo the vicious painful cycles of birth and death.

 

Later as time went by, the prophecy of the great saint made above proved to be absolutely true. He did get initiated by revered Gurudeva, he then gave up his mortal frame and Gurudeva too shed his mortal frame as predicted. All this we witnessed actually happening in front of our eyes.

 

The above episode is written for pious minded readers so that they too can realize our preceptor’s true greatness after reading what the great sage of Kanpur had to say about Gurudeva. The sage deftly gauged the spiritual aura and divine greatness of revered Gurudeva. In fact our Gurudeva him self would say: You all must meditate on a form. Hence if you choose to meditate on the sun meditate on my form. If you meditate on me it is synonymous with meditating on the sun. Hence when we meditated thus we noted that the preceptor oriented power was centered on the sun. We could easily meditate on solar Gayatri and thus all mental complexes and riddles were solved. So it was crystal clear that Gurudeva’s divine power had attained oneness with solar power.

 

Our revered Gurudeva Yuga Rishi Shriram Sharma Acharya had done intense Gayatri worship which is known to purify man’s psyche in totality. He further worshipped Savitri for sanctification of external nature. Today post death via his subtle body he is continuing with this sacred task. It is only an incarnation of God who merges with solar deity can carry out such a stupendous mission of transformation of an era. Anyone with lesser divine potential can never succeed in such a gigantic mission. Super Mantra Gayatri and the sun are the very life force of Indian Culture. In past times as long as divine men of India worshipped the solar deity, so long India led in all aspects of knowledge based sciences. It oozed with supreme joy and all round progress. It is a fact that when falsehood and demonic forces start ruling the roost divine people with the aid of solar power have transformed human nature into godliness. The sun helps manifest vigor, activities, high thinking and can liberate our psyche from vices and taints. In this manner pure sentiments of sacredness proliferate. It is hence that preceptor power chooses an icon of worship for his/her disciple.

 

In the Kapil Tantra it is said:

It is most desirable that Yoga specialist preceptors examine the inner nature and inclination of their disciples so as to decide which image of worship is best suited for them. Which are these icons/images? They can be Vishnu- chief of sky, Maheshwari- Goddess of fire, sun, Shiva, Ganesh etc. Any one of these can become an image.

 

The above 5 powers are found in Gayatri and the sun. This was told to us by Gurudeva and according to him it makes our worship all powerful. Revered Gurudeva says: It is a foregone conclusion that this era is going to be transformed. Its pivotal role will be played by India. The spirituality of the entire world is concentrated over here and the golden sunrise of a new era shall dawn here. To make this come true and in order to destroy the darkness of 2000 years so as to manifest Sat Yuga or Golden Age majority of great men have taken birth in India. If world history is pondered over deeply, never has so much been accomplished speedily as has been done in the last 10 decades. Revered Gurudeva writes: In the near future the mission to be fulfilled will revolve around human nature, process of thinking and a stupendous transformation of the world’s subtle atmosphere. The question asked is that how will all this take place? Its deep import has been explained by our preceptor center that merged into the solar deity and who had prophesized the onset of a Golden Era in the 21st century.

 

In order to solve the problem of atheistic tendencies so as to enhance human sacredness the divine power most required is that of Goddess Savita. In the Taiteriya Samhitaa the Rishi says:

“O, all knowing sun god! Please bless me and sanctify my psyche”. It is quite possible that because of this Rishis of yore have worshipped the conscious center of the Purusha (Almighty God) seated in the sun (Yajur Veda 40/17). In the Shukla Yajur Veda (31/18) great Rishis say:

I know the great Purusha seated in the sun in his Aaditya form and who is beyond darkness. He is the bestower of light and is Almighty God himself.

This eulogy is not beyond reason because Rishis worshipped the sun as protector of our vital force. It is both a creator and propagator and hence is said in the Atharva Veda (1/31/4): We pray that for ages to come we shall visualize the cosmic divine light illuminator i.e. Sun-God.

 

Revered Gurudeva Yuga Rishi Shriram Sharma Acharya continuously published literature on the worship of Gayatri-Sun-Kundalini from March 1977 to May 1977. In the April 1977 issue he writes that there is a dire need to create a proper environment for high leveled spiritual practices especially after keeping in mind contemporary circumstances. He exhorts us to create a forest like atmosphere in Gayatri Tirtha Shantikunj and Brahmavarchas so as to imbue it with Divine Energy. In one such article titled “The Mahaapraana of Savita-Savitri” he writes that the greatest need today is of an advanced intellect and that he has shown the importance of meditation on the divine effulgence of Goddess Savita. He says savita should be our icon so that its divine power gets an opportunity to sanctify the subtle world. In a special issue of Akhand Jyoti Magazine (January 1987) he says, with reference to Kundalini Energy, that in the coming days it will be awakened through solar/Savita worship. In this manner the destiny of planet Earth will shine effulgently.

 

Say who is that individual who can transform the destiny of entire planet Earth? The answer is one who is of the stature of Vishwaamitra (who tried to create a parallel cosmos) and has the potency/prowess of the Rishi clan. From time to time via published literature our revered preceptor has told us that by looking upon the radiant Savita (sun) as a manifestation of formless God we must imbibe deeply the divine power of Sun-God. The one can overcome all fear and stress related in this entire era. He further elaborated that solar movements/activities will be responsible for the advent of a New Era. “These days the earth has entered the womb of the sun so as to transform earth’s destiny to greatness”. With these words he proclaimed that this newly transformed planet Earth will be hallowed and in turn it will transform the entire cosmos. Solar flare ups and solar spot oriented radiations will prove dire for demonic forces and this in turn will augment Divine Powers. During conversations with revered Sir he often said that: I have given you symbolic yellow colored garments to wear so that you can absorb the power of Sun, Brihaspati, Gayatri and Guru. When Sun and Brihaspati unite the color that ensues is yellow. He felt that in today’s time instead of ochre robes worn by Sanyaasins who run way to the forest out of dispassion yellow garments are most required to be worn by devotees. Such people will be incessantly blessed by the solar deity. The fact remains that ere preceptor element Brihaspati is not imbibed it follows suit that Gayatri-Savitri element too will not be imbibed.

 

Our revered preceptor understood clearly that Knowledge of Tantra would be dangerous for his disciples and hence he designed a compact religious program (Anushthaan) of Super Mantra Gayatri. He imbued this Gayatri with his wholesome Tantra Power and penance. In addition worship of Savitri and Brihaspati too was included which would hence forth cause no harm to any spiritual aspirant/devotee. Time and again Gurudeva advised his disciples never to hurriedly switch over to Tantra Science. Instead they were sagely advised to regularly chant the Gayatri Mantra, purify subtle nerves/Naadis, do Praanaayaam, meditate on the sun etc. If all this was done with utmost sincerity Gurudeva promised to fulfill the rest. In actuality it is the preceptor who energizes the Mantra. Through psychic imprints or Sanskaaras words are interwoven into various Mantras. Our revered Gurudeva made widely available the otherwise secret Gayatri Mantra to one and all without any discrimination. He made subtle changes in it and the Sootra on which he made us meditate on the solar deity along with Mantra Japa is simply outstanding.

 

That Divine Authority which had merged into the solar deity had proclaimed that by sending the lower vital force to the upper vital force entire world community will get transformed positively. This Divine Authority had made a Sankapla or powerful mental resolve in the spring season of the year 1980 wherein inducing an onset of a New Era after working on the thought process of world humanity with the help of his subtle body. On page 17 of his book “What should we do in the 21st century” he says that Shantikunj has a great community of individuals akin to an eagle hiding eggs under its wings. They will be mediums of heralding a radiant world future in the 21st century. In order to spiritually nurture them a powerful Divine Energy has manifested at Shantikunj. It is Mahaakaal or Lord of Time who has declared that a New Era in the 21st century is bound to manifest radiantly. With faith by bowing down to our preceptor who is solar deity incarnate we pray that we become apt instruments/mediums in fulfilling this wondrous divine resolve of his.

 

 

 

 

CHAPTER 1

 

THE SOLAR DEITY’S WRATH IN THE 21st CENTURY

 

The sun is the chief of the solar system. According to the Vedas the sun awakens us in the morning so that we act aptly all through the day. The sun is said to be the ‘soul’ of all movable and immovable objects. Within the entire cosmos the sun moves about ‘mysteriously’ and is a silent witness of the actions of all living beings. In Greek language the sun is called “Helios”. It means that which is radiant and brilliant in nature. This radiance of the sun is but a manifestation of the intense infinite energy it harbors within its core being. It is because of this that life sustains on planet Earth. According to modern scientists that ball of brilliant light seen by us and is called the sun manifests certain movements. They in turn manifest as flames and black spots or sun spots.

 

No doubt the sun predominates gigantically in our solar system and yet it is a mere star with reference to the galaxy in which it exists. The distance between the sun and our earth is 1.4 billion and 9.6 million kilometers. Despite this solar rays take merely 8 minutes to reach our planet from the sun. The diameter of the sun is 1.3 million and 92 thousand kilometers. From our standpoint while visualizing the sun from our planet it is very difficult to imagine the sun to be so much more gigantic, heavy and blazing than our earth.

 

The temperature in every area of the sun is not equally distributed. The surface temperature is 6000 degrees Celsius. It is solar energy that is at work behind the sun’s light and heat principles. Solar energy is the very life force of our planet earth. As a result life proliferates and sustains on earth. This solar energy is a manifestation of the ‘nuclear’ activity of the sun. In that hydrogen gas is converted to helium. In the sun’s core/central region within one second 564 million tons of hydrogen gets converted to 560 million tons of helium gas. Energy of 4 million tons hydrogen manifests from the sun in the form of solar rays. The sun emits 3.8 x 10 raised to -26 Joules energy/second into interstellar space.

 

For the past 5 billion years the sun has been converting air around it into solar energy which is used up as and when required. Its temperature on the surface region too is not equally distributed. In the sun’s Photosphere the temperature is 6000 degrees centigrade. One layer of its uncontrolled atmosphere is Photosphere. Between these 2 is a layer whose temperature is 4500 degrees centigrade. This is the ‘coldest’ region on the sun. During the duration between the commencement and ending of a solar eclipse it is seen as a magnet freeze.

 

On the surface of the sun where the temperature is less and there exists only cold and dark gloominess is called Sunspots. The temperature of a Sunspot is less than 2000 degrees centigrade of the temperature of its neighboring gas. It is around 4000 degrees centigrade in the Photosphere. These spots tend to move as couples or more in number and their life spans between a few days and a few months. These Sunspots were first discovered by that great scientist Galilee.

 

The sun is never known to be clam and serene. This is because movements within it always exist. These movements are so intense at times flames appear on the sun’s surface. According to USA’s material scientist Unin Norman Parlor a continuous flow of hydrogen ions and helium ions are emitted by the sun. In this flow the number of electrons and protons are equal. It is also called solar wind which has a speed of 1.26 to 2.88 million kilometers per hour.

 

From Sunspots solar flames erupt forth in the form of energy. With its heavy intensity it scatters the particles of solar wind which in turn some times crosses the boundary of planet Earth and appears over here. These energy particles create intense magnetic fields on planet Earth. As a result all modes of communication can get flattened to the ground. In outer space solar flames get spread out in billions of miles area. Until today solar flames were seen in their most terrific form on 28th Feb 1942, 19th Nov 1949, 13th Sep 1971 and April 1990.

 

At the end of the 20th century i.e. in the year 2000 AD solar movements were seen again in a more intense form. In the year 2000 AD i.e. 3rd and 4th Mar blasts of intensity of billions of hydrogen bombs with the potential of 100 mega tons were recorded on the sun’s surface. As a result of this there was a storm of UV rays in the Earth’s central region. According to that famous outer space scientist R.S. Srivatsava as a result of this episode on that day between 11 am to 1.30 pm the overall situation was very dire because of the X-ray and UV ray storms that lashed out on planet Earth.

 

According to USA’s J M Fridge and Dr R.S. Srivatsava there are 2 points on the sun’s corona. These points are called 8882 and 8881. In present times these points have suddenly become very active. From both these points about 20 billion tons of corona material is emitted which constitutes a part of its storehouse of rays. It has a speed of 3000 kilo meters/sec. At any time its direction can point at Earth. Ordinarily its speed is 10000 times more. Amongst these one finds gamma and beta rays included too. With reference to these geological incidences Delhi University’s scientist Prof Vishnu Bhatia has clarified that sometimes the earth’s magnetic field agitates high energy particles emitted by the sun. Recently an incident of this type recurred and the earth was saved from great danger.

 

Very rarely does one see a destructive form of global turbulence but on the sun they have recorded even more intense and ghastly agitations. As a result of this sunspot based activities reach their peak every 11 years. In turn because of this time and again there occurs a change in the shape and form of solar based aura. The temperature of very sensitive magnetic fields found on sunspots is less when compared to other regions. In other magnetic fields (other areas) electrons, protons and ionic electric fields move along tortuous paths. This is why the 11 year wheel of solar activity marches ahead. Every 11th year this activity reaches its peak. On 24th April 1990 AD during such a solar agitation it was noted that certain materials of the NW region of the sun had separated speedily. These materials have spread themselves at a distance of 1million kilometers from the sun.

 

Due to high activity of sunspots on an average one notes the appearance of a multi colored polar aura. In the North Pole this light is called Aurora Borealis and on the South Pole it is called Aurora Austrealis. The electrical particles of magnetic storms emitted by sunspots get attracted to the magnetic regions of Earth. As a result one can see beautiful scenes related to light on the Earth’s Polar region. The rays emitted from solar turbulences reach the Earth’s Ionosphere. As a result the earth’s magnetic regions get influenced by it. The highest intensity of solar agitations creates further turbulences on the Earth’s Ionosphere. In turn there is a greater probability of magnetic storms manifesting on Earth. What then ensues is an obstruction of radio wave transmissions and thus there is possibility of chaos in the supply of electricity. Our earth has experienced this dire situation umpteen number of times already. These geological incidences had destroyed the electrical supplies of many nations. In Canada the Hydrocubic Electric Machines had been shattered and for hours many regions of Canada and USA had to go without electricity for a certain time span.

 

At present the sunspots have been increasing since 1996 and they reached their peak in March 2000 AD. When magnetic movements increase on the sun uniformity is noted in its aura but when magnetic movements decrease many colors are seen in its aura that spread out in inter stellar space. A weather scientist of USA’s “National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration” Mr. Gary Hackman maintains that the present eruptions on the solar wheel and the resultant dire storm of rays has passed nearby planet earth at a distance of 0.15 million kilometers. It should be looked upon as nothing short of divine grace. If this were not true artificial satellites that have been set up in inter stellar space and their dependent institutions would have been the target of one of the direst world catastrophes.

 

All such solar movements/activities indicate an imminent widespread change in the world. Eminent world scientists opine that because of such movements a great transformation will duly be witnessed the world over. They say that the shape of earth will no doubt not change but that nature will transform in totality. This can also be seen as a form of transformation of the 21st century which will herald a New Era.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CHAPTER 2

 

HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS: PERMANENT CENTER OF OUR SOUL

 

 

An atom is the subtle form of the cosmos. Its central portion represents the sun of our universe. Electrons revolve around the nucleus (sun) just as planets revolve around the sun of our solar system. Just as infinite space exist outside the periphery of the solar system so too there is a lot of space present in the atom. Between various solar systems of the cosmos there exists ample and optimum space separating each of them. Similarly there are varied differences in the central region of all atoms. Although externally they appear to be identical internally differences are noted. For example in Uranium there are 92 electrons whereas in Carbon there are only 6 electrons.

 

Every human being can be akin to an entire cosmos. His soul is like the sun in whose vicinity atoms and planets revolve. Atoms, bacteria, viruses etc that are found in the human body are known to emit a special kind of electricity. It is because of the influence of this electricity that organs like the brain etc function aptly. It is that very medium through which consciousness can manifest in inert nature. Ordinarily movements of various types are seen in atoms. They lack the capacity to think or experience anything. But human electricity called Prana (life/vital force) consciousness in inert group of atoms is known to manifest the capacity of thinking and thus life comes into existence.

 

Around the Polar region of planet earth magnetic storms are known to erupt. They emit unsteady light which is called Aurora Borealis. Polar region in turn attract radiations, light and other influences from other planets to our globe. Further certain special influences of Earth are transported to other planets of the universe. Polar region of the earth is said to be the point of contact with the rest of the cosmos. Our earth’s present existence is dependent on inter planetary radiations which pass through the Polar region. Apart from this, the present positioning of other planets are as they are as a result of various incessant radiations active in the earth’s Polar region. If at all due to some reason this relationship of give and take comes to a grinding halt such a dire influence will manifest that life on our globe will cease to sustain and exist. Together with this a change in the hierarchy and positioning of planets will lead to chaos in the present day activities of the solar system. A little movement in a small area contributes quite gigantically to the revolving activity of the earth and other planets. The more we ponder over this fact the more its mystery will unfold lucidly.

 

Man’s inner consciousness too is similarly a focused area of Divine Energy. Within it there are infinite known and unknown potentialities like desire power, emotional power, power of resolve, attraction power, repulsion power etc. If these are activated optimally, if we can learn to make apt use of them we can experience the manifestation of all cosmic powers. Man’s consciousness is infinite like the gigantic space of the solar system. Whatever exists in it is more powerful than inter planetary space. Alas but despite all this it is mind boggling that we are totally unaware of this divine treasure house indwelling in our inner being. If some how or the other we are capable enough of establishing a bond with the root source of infinite energy which is akin to a gigantic ocean an individual can become an infinite storehouse of Divine Energy. As a result what previously seemed impossible can now be made possible via this infinite ocean of energy. Sun or Savita is the personal god or icon of all human beings. The goal of all should be to merge with this icon. How is this possible to attain? The answer is given by Solar Sciences.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CHAPTER 3

 

I BOW DOWN TO THE PRIMEVAL SUN GOD

 

 

The Shrutis authoritatively proclaim that this world in which we dwell was initially full of darkness prior to its creation. ‘Tamaha asita’ means that all directions were engulfed by darkness. But when the brilliant highly eulogized sun god manifested in the east it became the root cause of life, light and vital force manifesting and sustaining in this world.

 

In the Chandogya Upanishad (1/6/6) it is said that the omnipotent Almighty Lord destroyed cosmic darkness with his divine brilliance of soul light when he took the form of Hiranyagarbha (creator). It is thus clear that due to this divine spiritual light the darkness in all directions was destroyed hook line and sinker.

 

India’s cultural tradition is said to be the most ancient in the entire world. Right from primeval times to date no one has attracted and magnetized all aspects of human life as has been achieved by Sun-God. Hence when our ancestors i.e. great Rishis who were the spearheads of world human progress and evolution said ‘I bow down to primeval Lord’ they were in reality worshipping the radiant sun. The sun is said to play a major role in the evolution of world culture and tradition. It is because that sun shines brilliantly that the concept of time, demarcation of day and night, seasonal demarcations and waxing/waning of the moon came into being. It is because of the sun that months are categorized which in turn influence the daily living of all creatures especially mankind. Right from time immemorial the sun has been the root source of man’s day to day transactions. When man saw that ball of fire representing Sun God he took it as a form of life force, divine energy and God’s power. In ancient times man’s daily activities were very much dependent on the rising and setting of the sun. Thus we can understand how Sun God plays a major role in the evolution of human culture and civilization.

 

Right since Vedic Age our Rishis have proclaimed ‘Bhumaa vai sukham’ and ‘Bhuma tad amritam’ (Chandogya Upanishad 7/23/1 and 7/24/1). This ‘Bhuma’ viewpoint of Rishis gives them the inspiration to move towards infinity from finiteness. Ultimately their goal was to merge into infinity. On the one hand where he attains a pious vision of various gods/goddesses who control cosmic functions there itself there manifests an intense inspiration to merge into the 3 worlds. This is root basis of our mode of worship because of the philosophy handed down to us by great Rishis of yore. In this method meditation on the solar deity is of prime importance. The reason for this is that the 9 planets of the solar system, Marutas (wind god), 7 Rishis and 3.3 billion demigods dwell here. According to great Rishi-Munis the authority centers of all Divine Powers rest on the shoulders of Sun God ever since this world was created. Hence by saying ‘Surya aatmaa jagatatasthuscha’ (Rig Veda) Rishis (Shaakal Samhitaa 1/115/1) say that the soul of all mobile and immobile creatures is Sun God in form.

 

In the Bhagwad Geeta wherever Lord Krishna describes his Divine Glories he says ‘Jyotishaam raviranshuman’ (Bhagwad Geeta 10 & 11). Thus he give prime importance to Sun God and has further advised mankind to meditate on Super Mantra Gayatri. In this manner one can walk on the radiant path of solar worship which is also called Brahmavidyaa or Divine Wisdom. In the Vedas it is written ‘Akrushnena rajasaa’ (Rig Veda Shaakal Samhitaa 1/35/2) which is the most preliminary indication of solar worship. In the Krishna Yajur Veda (2/9/9) the importance of solar worship is described in detail. How important is solar worship/meditation? This answer can be gauged from Chaandogya Upanishad (3/19/1) and Shatpath Braahmana (50/5/1/4).

 

In a Rig Veda Mantra (5/51/25) the Rishis sing eulogies: O Sun God! We pray that we all get together and walk on the path of welfare just as you and Moon God and your self have set shining examples for us all. It means that just as the sun and moon devoid of indolence or lethargy work for eons and eons ceaselessly so too we pray that we imbibe beautiful radiance (symbolized by the moon) and discrimination (symbolized by the sun). When the need arises, we pray that we blaze like the sun so as to combat injustice and excesses witnessed the world over. During times of emotional turbulence, we pray that we remain calm and serene like the dazzling moon. Apart from this we pray: O Goddess Savita! Please ward off our sins and troubles and we request you nurture a sense of well being in our lives (Rig Veda 5/82/5). In this Mantra pious and wholesome thoughts have been invoked from all directions with the sun as its medium. If this is done human thinking will weed out the right from wrong. All the above mentioned examples show why great Rishis of yore have bestowed so much importance to eulogy of Goddess Savita and also been allotted a prime position in our day to day transactions. By proclaiming that Goddess Savita is the creator of all it is concluded that it is Sun God which gives everyone life and vital energy to all creatures of the world.

 

Great personages and authors of Divine Culture via their insight in the form of inspiration have made certain observations which are clubbed as Shrutis. Further all conclusions drawn via research and experimentation of the subtle inner world became a code of conduct in man’s day to day existence. Sun is the source of inspiration behind lighting of fire which in turn in the first projection of human community. From there to the inventing of chariots which run with the help of solar rays and from the attainment of research regarding good health with the sun as the medium up to particles that move with speed of sun light, in all this the sun plays a major role. It is the erstwhile Rishi who first understood and said that it is because of the sun that worldly cycle commenced. Further the sun controls this cycle in a major way. All creatures are born and continue to sustain life because of the sun. Agricultural profession succeeds amply because of the sun. It is because of the sun that trees, flowers, fruits, plants, herbs etc grow. If the sun stops rising every day world movements can come to a grinding halt. Thus the root source of the world wheel of functions is the sun. This knowledge has been handed down to us by great Rishis of yore and hence by looking upon Sun God as the Primeval Almighty Lord we have evolved culturally too. The radiant sun whose diameter is 0.8 million 64 thousand miles and is 108 times bigger in diameter than planet Earth would in all probability be unaware that it being a storehouse of heat and fire is playing such a massive role in the evolution and civilization of Earth and its denizens. Further Earth lies at a distance of more than 1.4 billion kilometers from the sun. The sun plays a major role right from segregation of various seasons and day/night up to rains, flooding, famine etc. In fact it influences all activities of our day to day living. It is solar heat that ensures potable water is found on our planet by helping downpour of rains. Solar heat also ensures that we gain access to fire and electricity on Earth. Thus the sun is the cause of creation and existence of living beings on Earth and none can challenge this bare fact. This is why right since time immemorial solar worship is undergone with devotion and reverence not only in India where Vedic Culture first manifested but also in various other regions of the globe. There was a time in ancient history when Indian Culture was a World Culture. This can be proved by taking note of solar temples in all corners of the world. Sun temples are generally found in large numbers where the population of Red Indians is high especially in various parts of America. It is well nigh possible that due to a break in contact with Rishi Consciousness they failed to evolve fully. Despite this solar worship was a part and parcel of their daily living. Many solar based legends are found in regions like Hawaii, Japan, South America and Korea which proclaim that the sun is a universal idol. Chinese scholars have based all their sciences of Astronomy and Astrology on the sun. There the sun is called Yang and moon is called Yin. They in turn are represented by the subtle Yogic nerves of the human body as Idaa and Pingalaa. Japanese citizens are sun worshippers and the sun rises first in thatcountry. In Buddhist stories called Jaatakas sun is described as a vehicle and its 3 movements are based on the paths called Ajaavithi, Naagavithi and Govithi.

 

In Persian and Arabic languages the sun is called ‘Aaftaab’. In Islam the sun is said to be the center of ‘Ilm ahkam ananjum’ which means that the sun is a symbol of consciousness that increases our power of sacred desires. In Christianity in the New Testament there is a clear description of the importance of the sun. Hence Saint Paul declared Sunday to be holy. If on this day one worships Almighty God and donates money etc it is said to accrue a great deal of merit. Hence Christians from every nook and corner of the world regularly visit Churches on Sundays and participate in congregational prayers. Even Greek and Romans accept this day as a holy day of prayers.

 

The above mentioned data is regarding the sun in relation to various religions, beliefs, communities etc of the world. As against this, Indian Culture looks upon pure Vedic Culture as a manifestation of solar based culture. It looks upon Sun God as its primeval Almighty Lord. According to our culture the sun is Brahmaa (creator), Vishnu (propagator) and Mahaakaal (destroyer). Mahaakaal is also one who demarcates time into day/night etc. s long as solar energy or vital fire is present in ones body one remains alive. When it departs from the body a creature dies. Apart from this the sun is called Ganapati too because it is the chief of all planets of our solar system. The sun is also called Indra i.e. the king of all demigods. The sun gifts us sound which emanates from our throats. By adding ‘I’ to ‘Rav’ it becomes ‘Ravi’ meaning that sun which gives us sound notes. The sun is called Udgeetha also because it gives us sound notations. The author of that great epic Mahaabhaarata has penned the best amongst Paandavas viz. Yudhishthira eulogizing the sun as: O Sun! You are Indra, Rudra, Vishnu, Prajaapati, fire, mind, God and Brahman or cosmic consciousness.

 

In actuality through the medium of solar worship and episodes of sacred literature Indian spiritual life has put forth the greatest ideal of Divine Culture. The verse in Rig Veda (1/105/12) is a symbol of spiritual way of life. Right from the Vedic Age the sun has attained the status of a spiritual preceptor. In the Vedic Age especially during the Upanayan ceremony (Yajnopaveet or sacred thread) the preceptor chants Mantras after filling his and his disciple’s palm with water (Rig Veda 5/82/1). The preceptor vows that just as the sun with its brilliant light dispels darkness of the world so too he will dispel the dark veil of spiritual ignorance in the psyche of the disciple.

 

Right from primeval times up to contemporary times the relationship between the sun and world humanity has been sentimental in nature. The sun is not merely a mass of blazing fire but it also sustains life, protects it and is the author of cultural progress of entire humanity.

 

Lord Sooryanaaraayan (Sun God) is one whom one cannot vouch safe whether he is only a god, beloved friend or a revered preceptor. Is he like a protecting eye or an illumining huge lamp of the world? Is he a spiritual leader or a divinely nourishing father? Is he the vital force or energy which is the primeval cause of creation of this world or is something else totally? Of course what is most certain is that he means well for all times and the entire world. We pray that Sun God (Sahasra rashmi) fulfils all our wholesome desires.

 

Every aspect of the sun indicates the step by step evolution of world humanity. It is definitely not an overstatement when we say that the solar deity is the root basis of playing a major role in the important established principles of our ancient Divine Culture. Probably because of this, right from Yajur Veda (3/9) to Prashnopanishad (1/8) songs and eulogies in praise of the sun have been sung. Sun is also called ‘Maartand’ because this ‘Mrita danda’ (Brahmaanda or cosmos) gives us heat and light which helps sustain life in this world. Thus it is clear that however much we sing solar eulogies they can never fully depict the greatness and deep import of the sun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CHAPTER 4

 

THE ENTIRE COSMOS IS A SINGLE CONSCIOUS BODY

 

 

Whenever any part of our body gets hurt the entire body throbs with pain. The mind and intellect too gets tensed and agitated. All our attention is now focused on this painful sensation. If the mind is not poised and balanced, the body experiences ill health and diseases. Every part of the body and mind mutually influence each other. This is concrete proof of the fact that the body and its consciousness are one with each other. In the same way that which is both visible and invisible, natural elements and solar system too are bound to each other by a deep bond of subtle sentiments. If an incident occurs in one region of the cosmos its reaction is definitely seen else where too.

 

In ancient times in the land of India there was a science in vogue which propounded and explained the above fact. It was nothing but Astrology. Its aim was to scientifically investigate the relationship between the members of the solar system and study the influence of one member on other members. As a result it was fairly facile to attain benefits from planet Earth and other stars, planets etc. This science gave us such priceless information which is not possible to attain even in this advanced modern scientific era. But alas as time lapsed by this ancient science degenerated and were replaced by ignorant beliefs and deluded concepts. With the result modern day intellectuals and scholars ignore this science totally.

 

Despite all this ever since science has leaped to maturity it got attracted to interstellar space research. Intermittently they have tried to understand the movements and functions of planets, stars, solar systems etc. Studies have been undergone as far as their inter relationships and mutual influence on one another is concerned. Quite possibly in a varied manner Modern Material Science today is drawing those same conclusions and inferences which were unearthed centuries ago by great Rishis and spiritualists of yore who were masters of the Science of Astrology too.

 

The scholars of astrology had reinstated the members of the solar system in the form of Divine Powers. Nine planets were looked upon as 9 Divine Energies. Since time immemorial astrological sciences have looked upon the chief of the solar system i.e. the sun as not just a mass of blazing fire but a permanent storehouse of life, vital force and awakened fire. Every moment it influences all members of the solar system with its movements and activities. Along with the sun, Jupiter, Mercury etc too influence the Earth’s atmosphere.

 

World revered Physicists too accept the fact that activities of the solar system influences both the Earth’s atmosphere and life present on it. Scholars like Prof. Stephen Dediger and a nuclear physicist of Yugoslavia opine that in order to succeed in the endeavor of space research scientists will have to take help of ancient astrological sciences. There occur so many natural incidences today which have a mysterious nature. Today’s advanced scientific research has failed to throw adequate light on such mysteries. Despite its otherwise spectacular success in the fields of interstellar space and sub nuclear studies modern science accepts its inability to explain events with reference to the universe because of certain limitations. Bang opposite to this, astrological sciences which deal with the subtle activities of the sun regarding the spiritual universe is fully capable of unfolding the mysteries of interstellar space by using the knowledge of the sun’s influence over it.

 

According to the principles laid down by material sciences every atom of an object in the cosmos is active in relation to each other. They are even known to change their positions. With the result the environment in which they move keeps changing. Now because it is bound to a continuous cosmic chain, the group of atoms manifests a special influence. In turn this influences other planets, Earth, movable/immovable objects and astronomic masses. Despite being aware of this fact modern science has failed to give us a clear understanding of the movement, position and influence of planets and stars. While making the above mentioned observation the great nuclear scientist Prof. Stephen Dediger says that it is important to reactivate the hidden mysterious knowledge of astrology in order to understand facts pertaining to interstellar space in a compact manner.

 

The famous Austrian scientist Ernst Mike opines that infinite atoms of the universe are bound to each other via a strong deep bond. Solar flames which are connected to the closeness of planets and lunar movements are known to create various types of interceptions on earth. Planets influence not only earth but the life force oriented magnetic fields. Magnetic storms which are the result of imbalance experienced by various planets are known to manifest natural calamities and illnesses pertaining to the nervous system/psyche of all terrestrial beings. As a result of changes taking place in the earth’s gravitational force human behavior and inner nature too get affected.

 

A Russian scientist named Chinevski has reached some important conclusions after a long time span of research in this field. He opines that there is a deep bond between the movements of the solar system and the earth’s environment along with their activities/movements. After every 11 years time span a nuclear eruption takes place on the sun. During this span war and revolutions are induced on planet earth. Further natural calamities and epidemics too attack earth on a war footing.

 

A scientist named Geogar G. Giandi opened a new branch of science called Cosmo-Biology which takes inspiration from Astrological Sciences. According to him the entire cosmos is one single body and since no separate part exists in essence it is one without a second. Thus he believes that even if a particular planet exists miles and miles away from our globe yet it will somehow influence our earth.

 

Our planet earth is a member of the solar system and moon is its satellite. According to Professor Brown, from a scientific standpoint, earth and moon have been created from the sun. In fact he opines that even Mars, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn influence earth via various movements taking place on them. He calls this inter planetary influence as ‘Equi-perception’.

 

During the 3rd International Equinox Wind and Science Seminar 2 scientists named Professor K. Ramanathan and Dr. S. Ananta Krishnan of the Ahmedabad Physical Research Centre (Gujarat, India) said that the earth is an inseparable part of the solar system. Vibrations of spatial masses influence planet earth on a big scale. While conducting further research they found that when a stream of Scorpio 11 passes by that are part of X rays in the D region of the atmosphere movements of plants and other creatures increase which ultimately proves to be a malefic influence.

 

There was a time when the world renowned scientist Dr. Vikram Sarabhai (former chairperson of the Atomic Energy Commission) opined while talking at a seminar of scientists of various countries that there is a visible influence of other spatial masses on earth apart from the sun itself. If one unearths more precepts of Astrological Sciences so as to correlate them to information pertaining to interstellar space one will definitely come across more valuable data/information.

 

A Russian scientist Vladimir Desyatoy has conducted in depth studies in this field. He says that time and again magnetic storms attack earth which result in nervous and psychological disorders in its denizens. The change in frequency or speed of magnetic fields on earth is but the result of energy flow from spatial masses. Vladimir found from his preliminary research that when a special type of fire like agitation (flare) gets unleashed on the sun an intense magnetic storm manifests on earth. No doubt it influences everyone in a general manner but a greater influence is seen on those who are psychologically weak. This is witnessed also in the form of suicides, murders, mental imbalance and road accidents.

 

Based on the above data scientists opine that the root source of brain’s capacity to function and alpha allergy is conjoined to the gravitational region of earth. In turn the earth’s gravitational pull is related to spatial masses. Hence human life is remarkably connected to interstellar space activities and energy based forces. With the result every movement that manifests in interstellar space influences human nature, mind/psyche, intellect and consciousness.

 

As per the conclusions drawn by the scholar of astronomy Pascal, not only do powerful attractions manifested by the sun and moon create high tide/low tide i.e. ebb/flow in the sea but that they also influence living beings. Pascal maintains that all living beings dwell in a gigantic ocean of a vibrating omnipresent energy. Thus how can they remain exempt from the influence of energy waves that flow from various planets? In the arena of Material Sciences the fact that there is a close relationship between life on earth and earth, planets and stars of interstellar space shall be proved. A subtle give and take exists between them though not perceived by the gross human sense organs.

 

The footsteps of Modern sciences which are marching towards peaks of advancement are definitely also reaching those conclusions which were unraveled centuries ago by great Indian seers, astrologers and sages of yore. They proclaim that the entire cosmos is one single body/ocean of consciousness. The sun verily is its soul. Every vibration that emanates from it influences each component wherein are included earth, its atmosphere, plants, creatures etc. In ancient times Astrological Science was involved in researching, unearthing proof and looking for interplanetary elements. These findings have proved beneficial time and again for entire world humanity.

 

Many world scholars are attracted to this arena and hence commenced an interplanetary research program. These indeed are very benign signs. And yet devoid of Astrological Science, Modern Science is incapable of unearthing all vital data pertaining to outer space. Ancient Indian scientist-seers can definitely become beacon lights in this research field. Books authored by Arya Bhatta called ‘Jyotish Sidhant Kaalkriyapada’ and ‘Golpada Surya Sidhanta’ along with Naradeva’s research/development on its lines and Bhaskar Swami’s ‘Mahaabhaaskariya’ etc are rare, priceless and full of deep import. In his book Pancha Sidhantika, Varaah Mihir has depicted 5 principles of Astrology viz. paulish, romaka, vasishtha, saur and pitaamaha which throw detailed light on this topic.

 

“O Nourisher of the world! One who travels alone! Controller of the world! Son of Prajaapati! Sun-God! Do take back your light rays in your fold because I am visualizing your most auspicious form. The person in the solar aura is none other than my self”.

……………………..ISHAAVAASHYA UPANISHAD (16)

 

The science deeply explored by great seers and Brahmarishis is certainly not limited to the understanding of materialistic movements of the sun and cosmos at large. Even if its materialistic aspect is very wide-spread, powerful and magnetic yet its total structure is incomplete without consciousness. This true stream of conscious energy is called Divine science. On realizing its deep import, not only do we our selves become divinely powerful but that the present and future of the world too follows suit.

 

Astrological Science has both a gross material aspect and a divinely scientific one. And yet its deep import lies in solar worship. Special worship which bestows a widespread vision helps further unfold its mysteries. By going deep into its worship method we can understand mysterious powers/energies of the cosmos and thus avail benefits from energy streams of the solar system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CHAPTER 5

 

A PRICELESS GIFT FROM RISHIS…..MADHUVIDYA (NECTARINE WISDOM)

 

Savita is the fount of a nectarine divine principle. When it is worshipped it imbues the aspirant with intense life force, vibrations of divine joy and help the soul realize its nectarine nature. In order that the aspirant’s mind does not stray away from it research scholars of spiritual wisdom have depicted its meaning, nature, function and form.

 

Madhuvidya is dealt with in the Chhaandogya Upanishad so as to explain this principle in a total manner. The scattered mysterious rays of this worship are gathered here so as to shine forth effulgently. In the first 12 verses of the 1st section of this Upanishad, Madhuvidya (nectarine wisdom) and Savita worship have been depicted gloriously. It says (Chhaandogya Upanishad 3/1/1): Om! This sun is verily the nectar of gods. Heaven is that tilted bamboo on which nectar hangs. Outer space is an umbrella and the rays are like children of honey bees.

 

In this Mantra where Seer-Rishis have given rare indications of perceived divine reality there one also finds scientific facts. The material form of the sun is atomic in nature. Since Modern Science is nothing but Material Science it analyzes only materials, elements etc. Generally all those who grow up and get educated in today’s modern environment think upon merely this as an apt scientific technique. These intellectual potentials determine their mode of thinking and hence they are accustomed to experience only that which lies in this periphery. Hence it is that time and again man wishes to hear, see and experience that which are dear to him and very familiar. Giving them minor changes and repeating that experience is thought by man as ‘new and original’. Generally laymen can neither understand nor endure those who think and act differently from the prevalent mode of thinking. This different mode of thinking is labeled by them as unreliable, unscientific, scattered etc. But later as time lapses by when this different thinking becomes a bit more familiar to them they accept it. And yet they react in the same previous manner when a more new and different thought is put forth.

 

It is very important to cogitate over all this simply because today’s scientific trend depicts facts related merely to matter and thus human believe merely this to be true and scientific in nature. And yet ancient Indian Rishi-scientists thought a bit differently. Not only did they master Material Science but they also unfolded mysteries pertaining to divinely conscious principles. This trend of thought was so compact and total that one single stream of it dealt with material, divine and spiritual aspect of this cosmos. For laymen this is that much more useful and beneficial in comparison to the modern trend of thought. At one go they are educated in the material, divine and spiritual aspect of this cosmos. A highly polished brilliant intellect is required for this trend of thinking and the divinely intellectual Rishis possessed it in ample measure.

 

In the above mentioned Mantra a discussion ensues regarding Savita (sun) element in the glorious Indian literature tradition. Sun is material in nature, its atom godly in nature and its spiritual form is conscious i.e. all pervasive Savita soul. It is said that whatever is there in the microcosm is present in the macrocosm. Similarly in the atom lies the entire cosmos.

 

The sun described in the Mantra can be correlated to an atom. Heaven which is like a slanting bamboo is akin to an atom’s electron and its movement is external. The atomic body is the umbrella of honey/nectar. The photon particles present in the inner region of an atom are akin to sunbeams represented the children of honeybees. The same description is applicable to our material sun because it is a wide, gigantic mass made of atoms. Photons contain electromagnetic energy and are found in the waves of sunbeams.

 

We all know that photons are particles of light. Mareechee is another name for solar rays. Sun is called Mareechee too. Over here the term Aaditya (sun) signifies its divine meaning viz. solar deity. From the standpoint of light radiation energy it is an active conscious energy. From the spiritual viewpoint the sun is omnipresent Savita soul consciousness. It is the nectar of gods. Savita is the source of invincibility and nectarine fount of conscious divine powers. The scriptures say that Sun God is Prasavita. It is here that demigods drink nectarine juice and attain power. This nectar pervades entire interstellar space too. Space principle is all pervasive, formless and rudimentary in nature. In it one finds nectar of divine consciousness which is none other than Sun God or Savita/Aaditya. From this demigods imbibe power called vital juice or nectar juice.

 

Exponents of Upanishads have termed the radiating light rays of the sun as nectarine nerves. Discussions have been carried out on the stream of nectar flowing from the nectarine nerves. With reference to this as far as modern materialism is concerned and regarding research of fundamental particles/unit of the universe they have found that on all sides of the atom’s nucleus electrons revolve. And yet its direction, along with its relative force has not been measured by scientists. The reason being, that the correct position and force of the electron is scientifically studied in laboratories using light rays. The photons themselves contain light rays which are one amongst the root particles of the cosmos and are said to be ageless and immortal.

 

These particles which move with the speed of light strike against electrons and bring about a change in their momentum, position and direction. The scientific apparatus and the medium through which a scientist measures the position and speed of electron are subtle in nature and it influences these subtle electron particles. Thus it is impossible to accurately study, examine and analyze electrons. On the other hand seers of nectarine wisdom (Madhuvidya) and learned teachers have succeeded in analyzing the speed and direction of conscious radiating energy. Hence one can gauge the advanced nature of their scientific potential.

 

The description of radiating energy that flows from the sun is given below:

The rays of the preliminary direction of the sun in the eastern direction crack of the umbrella in the form of outer space are the large black bees. Rig Veda is a flower, Soma nectar etc. They are immortal water. Large bees in the form of Rika pre heated the Rig Veda. From the pre heated Rig Veda ensue glory, light, senses, semen and Rasa (juice) which is the primary form of food. They all took shelter in the eastern part of the sun and established themselves there in red form.

………………….CHANDOGYA UPANISHAD (3/2/5.314)

 

Similarly in the same chapter 2nd section it is said:

The rays of the southern direction are Yajur Veda or black bee. Yajur Veda is a flower, Soma nectar, water etc.

………………….CHANDOGYA UPANISHAD (3/2/1)

 

In the 3rd section it is said that the western nectarine nerves are western oriented rays produced from the western crack. Saam Veda is the large bee and it is also the flower.

In the 5th section one finds the description of rays emanating from above: The large bee of the upper nerves are secret commands and Brahman or cosmic consciousness is its flower.

………………….CHANDOGYA UPANISHAD (3/5/1)

 

The advancement of subtle material nature and their ascertainments will depend upon the future research of modern material science. The gross material aspect is quite clear. The sun throws its rays in all directions. The deep import of upper moving rays lie obstructed for modern material science. In the 1st section there is an indication of red color of the sun. In the 2nd section white color, in the 3rd section black and in the 4th section extremely dark hue is depicted.

 

When the sun rises it is bright red in color. After sometime it turns white. Later where there is a shadow meaning where solar rays do not reach a certain part of earth there its light appears dark i.e. after late evening. Later in the night it is extremely dark black in color. At the root source of consciousness of the 5 radiating energies are the 5 active demigods. They are Vasu, Rudra, Aaditya, Maru and Sadhya. Its material energies are radioactive energy, diffused red radiating energy, visible radiating energy, X-rays and Gamma rays. These 5 radiating energies are the 5 vehicles of those 5 demigods. Demigods are the stream of active consciousness.

 

Nectarine Wisdom (Madhuvidya) described in the Upanishads has a very important aspect which is spiritual in nature. In that via the medium of the stream of Savita, 5 interstellar spatial cracks have been depicted. In this very Chandogya Upanishad in the 3rd section of the 3rd chapter a mention of this has been made. They are called 5 divine Rishis and 5 vital forces called Prana, Apana, Vyana, Samana and Udana. It is clear that from the omnipresent conscious sun (Savita) flow, 5 vital force streams which are the 5 types of rays emanating from interstellar spatial cracks. From the 4 vital force streams flow Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Saama Veda and Atharva Veda. Over here Vedas do not mean merely books to read. Instead it means that wisdom based inspiration manifesting in the form of Para (ESP) and Pashyanti speech. This is because the large bee sips juice from these flowers. Richas are large bees or Rig, Yajur, Saama and Atharva Shrutis. These Shrutis are vehicles of the fount of wisdom based consciousness. The large bee’s sanctity (Sattva) is symbolized by the flower’s honey. The Sattva of Shrutis is Para and Pashyanti speech. This then is the foundation of all the sciences and knowledge of the world. In this manner the fount of soul consciousness manifests as Itihaasa (history), Purana (mythology) etc. All these rays of knowledge manifest as Savita. All this has been detailed in these lines.

 

A description has been given of rays flowing in the upper direction which is but the vital flow. Its mouth is in the upper region. With reference to consciousness moving in the upper direction it is the gist of the Vedas that are important. It is none other than the state of self fulfillment or self satisfaction.

 

The Bhagwad Geeta (2/43) says: Great oceans are filled to the brim by water from rivers ponds etc. Realized souls are like these vast oceans and take only that much as is necessary from Vedas.

 

From the standpoint of Panchakoshi Worship (Vedanta says our body is made up of 5 sheaths) this principle can be understood thus that the production of juices like food etc means nourishment of the Food Sheath (Kosha). Sharpness and fitness of body thus manifest. The vital force augments and activation of the Vital Sheath induces a rise in fame and glory in ones life. The ‘boss’ of our 5 sense organs is the mind/psyche. Hence when it is nourished, the Mental Sheath experiences fulfillment. Nourishment of semen representing valor helps mature the Intellectual Sheath. Brilliant light that manifests gives us infinite bliss. This is the fulfillment of the Bliss Sheath. These Sidhis or attainments are the result of the contact with the 4 types of rays of the 4 faces of the sun. The upper flowing solar rays give an experience which is akin to the nectar of all the nectars of the world put together. In Yogic parlance it is called Nirbeeja Samadhi (seedless trance), Dharmamegha Samadhi, God Realization, liberation of self etc. The sipping of the centralized nectar of the sun takes place under the above circumstances. The highest gain and maturity of solar worship verily is this state. It is also called Vasishtha status.

 

When we say ‘sipping’ we mean experiencing the divine nectar of sun or Savita. It is also the cosmic vital force, its basis and very life of all Jivas/creatures. This solar deity that gives total satiation with the help of its nectarine juice is the idol and icon of all spiritual aspirants who revel in cosmic consciousness and Gayatri i.e. Parabrahma or God.

 

Karna of the famous epic Mahabharata once after completing solar worship saw some mendicants standing on the river shore. After giving them all they required Karna after prostrating asked the pious Brahmin standing in front of him: How can I serve you revered sir? The Brahmin replied: O pious Karna! I have heard a lot about your charitable nature. I too wish to ask for something but can you fulfill my need? Karna smilingly said: Mi icon Bhaskara (Sun God) gives light of life, inspiration and divine energy to the entire universe. It is his vow to always keep giving. The secret of worship is to become a demigod by worshipping demigods with devotion. Hence say, why should I relinquish my charitable disposition which is boon of my revered icon? O Brahmin, fearlessly ask and I shall give anything I possess.

 

The Brahmin said: You have attained the boon of invincibility since your icon has given you armor and earrings as gift. I wish that you give these gifts to me. Karna laughed aloud saying: O King of gods, Indra! I adore my icon’s wealth of virtue more than fame, status, kingdom and glory. Karna thus had easily recognized the Brahmin to be none other than Indra. Indra while accepting the gifts of armor and earrings was indeed embarrassed. In a voice trembling with emotions Indra kept saying respectfully: Karna! Blessed are you and blessed is your unswerving faith in solar worship.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CHAPTER 6

 

SUN GOD: AN ADEPT PRECEPTOR OF THE WISDOM OF LIFE

 

 

The sun’s most visible and tangible charity can be experienced in the form of light, heat energy, power etc. In comparison to this visible charity the invisible flow of inspiration is that much more intense and profound. If ones inner being/soul is made receptive a clear understanding dawns that the sun is not only a giver of life but is also an adept teacher of how to live life wholesomely. If we delve deep into the activities of the solar system and planets associated with it not only one gets a chance to understand the gigantic stature of the cosmos and the grea
