‘Tattva Veda’ – The Basis of Cosmic Creation

Ek Evaagnir-Bahuda Samiddha Ekah Suryo Vishwa-Manu-Prabhutah |

Aekaye-voshaha Sarvidam Vibhaati ‘Ekum Va Idam Vibhoova Sarvam’ ||

 

            Veda are those fundamental Tattva’s, from whom the Cosmos has sprung up and grown. That Veda which we know – has been termed as ‘Shabda Veda’. The foundation of Shabda Veda is ‘Tattva Veda’, which is all-pervading in the cosmos. It is only on the foundation of Tattva Veda that, Veda Grantha’s have been written by the Rishi’s. What we believe to be a religious [Dharma] scripture due to illusion is actually completely Vigyanatmak. Veda Vigyan has lots of Vidhya’s, out of which Padartha-Vidhya is also one. There are only 108 fundamental Tattva’s of Padartha-Vidhya (which we know with the name of Science), and have been termed as Yaugic. The expansion of many from one fundamental Tattva is ‘Vigyan’. ‘Vividham Gyaanam Vigyanam – Ekasya Jaanam Gyaanam’ is long-established & popular. Thus, Science and Vigyan are not at all synonyms of each other.

 

            That Akshara-Brahma, which having a central-appearance, self-originates in the womb of Jagada-Janani Mahamaya, and thus grants five Kala’s to a nishkal Awyaya thereby making it sakala is known as Param-Brahma.

 

The five Brahma Kala’s known are: –

Param-Brahma	Awyaya-Brahma
Brahma	Ananda
Vishnu	Vigyan
Indra	Mana
Agni	Prana
Soma	Wak

 

The Brahma-Vishnu-Indra fusion is known as ‘Antaryami’ and that of Agni-Soma is known as ‘Sootra-atma’. Later on, the Kshara creation takes place. Kshara’s also have five Kala’s namely, Pranah-Aapah-Wak-Anna-Annaada. The incessant inter-mingling of these five energies is the reason for creation of the five Bhoota’s namely, Prithvi-Jal-Tej-Vayu-Akash. These Bhoota’s become the reason for creation of the system of Swayambhu-Parmesthi-Surya-Prithvi-Chandrama.

 

The foremost Fundamental Veda’s for creation of Cosmos are known as “Agni-Soma”. We may also call them separately as Agni Veda and Soma Veda. The word ‘Agni’ is from symbolic language, whereas in the fundamental language the same word is ‘Agri’.

There are only two fundamental tattva’s. One of them will always reach outwards (Towards the perimeter) from centre due to its nature and thus, is known as ‘Agri’. The other one will always try to reach towards the center from the perimeter, and thus comes to be known as ‘Soma’. So, Agni and Soma are the only two basic Veda’s. Within the five-fold Universe of Swayambhu-Parmesthi-Surya-Prithvi-Chandrama, Agni is present in Swayambhu-Surya-Prithvi and Soma is present in Parmeshthi-Chandrama. You, me and whatever we see within this Universe is all made of Agni-Soma in its basis. This is evident in, “Agni-Somaatmakam Jagata”. This means, All Universe is of the form of Agni and Soma.

 

This Agni is present in different bodies in different ways. And thus, it renders different name, form and function to each individual:-

• The Agni of Swayambhu is called as ‘Brahma-Agni’ (Pronounce as Brahmmaagni)
• The Agni of Surya is called as ‘Deva-Agni’ (Pronounce as Devaagni)
• The Agni of Prithvi is called as ‘Bhoota-Agni’ (pronounce as Bhootaagni)

 

The above variants of Agni’s do not have any sort of heat function. The heat function is created in the name of ‘Vaishwanar’ as the fourth Agni’s affect due to friction between the forces of Agni-Vayu-Aditya. This heat is present in every living-being as the sound of heart beat.

 

            Every individual constructs a system around itself into the distant space, because of the rays generated by centrally established energy. The ‘Pinda’ or individual is ‘Martya’ and its ‘Mandala’ or system is called ‘Amrit’. The Swayambhu Mandala is called as ‘Brahma-nishvasita Veda’. The Parmesthi (Which is the form of Aapah) Mandala is called as ‘Brahma-shvedaveda’. Surya Mandala (Also famous as Saur-mandal, Solar-System) is called ‘Gayatri-mantric Veda’. The Chandra Mandala is called as ‘Somaveda’. Prithvi Mandala is called as ‘Yagyamantric Veda’. This is a brief introduction to the Mandala or system form of Veda’s.

 

            Till now there is no luminosity in the Surya or Sun. Thus, in the initial condition Surya is Krishna-Varna (Sun is black in color). The growth or expansion of the Aamukh Bhaag of the Agni Mandala towards Surya is famous as “Bhu-Bhuvah-Swavah” in the ciphered language. From the centre of ‘Prithvi’ to Surya the distance has been explained in terms of Stomas or Aharganas. After the first 3 Stomas of the Bhu-Pinda the Agni Mandala develops from 6 Stoma to 9 Stoma. Vayu Mandala develops from 9 Stoma to 15 Stoma and Aditya develops from 15 stoma to 21 stoma. Surya is located at the 21^st Stoma. The Agni that develops from prithvi to Surya, becomes lighter as it rises. This gets divided into three parts. The Ghanagni in the ‘Bhu’ part is known as ‘Agri’. The Taralagni in the Bhuvah part is termed as ‘Vayu’ and the Viralagni in the Swavah part is termed as ‘Aditya’. Further ahead, the Agni of Agni Mandala gets divided into 8 parts as Vasu, Vayu Mandala’s Vayu into 11 parts as ‘Rudra’ and Aditya Mandal’s Aditya into 12 parts as ‘Aditya’. Thus, these 8 Vasu’s, 11 Rudra’s, 12 Aditya’s, 1 Dasra Sandhya and 1 Naasatya Sandhya devatas or energies are together called as the 33 Devatas. The notion that there are 33 crore devatas is a fallacy. They are of 33 types. It is to be known here that ‘Aapomaya’ or in the form of Aap, the Rakshasa Prana’s of Parmesthi are thrice in number then devatas and thus are 99. The existence of 3 rakshasas with 1 devata is a natural phenomenon. The disturbance in the number of these rakshasas and devatas is the only reason for illness. The balance in number can be easily maintained through Pranayam.

 

            The continuous friction between above mentioned Agni-Vayu-Aditya creates a fourth agni which is termed as ‘Vaishwanar’. This Vaishwanar has the heat function. It enters the Surya and burns the flammable Soma coming from Parmeshthi. As a result, the ruler of luminosity ‘Indra’ gets manifested. This Indra (In the form of Rays) illuminates the entire space and hence Life-Cycle begins. The Agni that moves from Prithvi to Surya is called as ‘Gayatri-Agni’ (Pronounced as Gayatraagni) and the agni moving from Surya to Earth is termed as ‘Savitra-Agni’ (Pronounced as Saavitraagni). This Gayatri originating from Prithvi and Savitri originating from Surya collide again to re-originate Agni Veda. The centre of Prithvi is ‘Rik’, middle portion is the Prana-form ‘Yaju’ and the land surface is its ‘Sam’. This is the situation, as far as Pinda form is concerned. The same expands above as Agni-Vayu-Aditya Mandala’s. Again, Agni Mandala ‘Rik’, Vayu Mandala ‘Yaju’ and Aditya Mandala is ‘Sam’. The Rik Tattva gets divided into 21 parts, Yaju into 101 parts and Sam into 1000 parts. The total number becomes 1122. If we add the 9 Atharva Veda then this total number of Veda Tattva’s becomes 1131. Based on this number only, the Rishis have written Veda Grantha’s. Unfortunately today only 4-5 branches of Veda Grantha’s are available. We should be thankful to western philospher’s like Max Muller, whose persistent efforts have had these branches revived and saved from loss. In Bharatavarsha, Veda Shastra has only been neglected for the past 3,000 years.

 

            It is important to understand that the Organization of ‘Ishwara’ also, gets developed in between Earth and Sun amongst Agni-Vayu-Aditya. It has been stated about ‘Ishvara’ that, “Vaishwanara-Hiranyagarbha-Sarvagyaha Eshaha Ishwarah”. Thus, Agni part is known as ‘Vaishwanar’, Vayu part as ‘Hiranya-garbha’ and Aditya part as ‘Sarvagya’. This alone is ‘Sarvabhootantaratma’. This alone is the cradle of all ‘Jeeva’ or Being organization. Just Vaishwanar is related to ‘Asangya Srishti’ or conscious-less part within which all materials or ‘Bhoot Padartha’ are inculcated. The Hiranyagrabha, located within Vaishwanara is creator of all semi-conscious or ‘Antaha Sangya’ part and includes all vegetation. The Sarvagya, located within Vaishwanar-Hiranyagarbha is the progenitor of all conscious or ‘Sangya Srishti’ part and includes Humans, Animals, Birds, Aqua etc. It is only because of Sarvagya, that an individual is rendered mobility. If Sarvagya gets developed in trees, they could easily walk and run. These three energies of Vaishwanar-Hiranyagarbha-Sarvagya get manifested in the ‘Jeeva’ or being in the form of ‘Vaishwanar-Tejas-Pragya’. The force that is there in the Ishvara Organization is also there in the Jeeva Organization, just the name is different. That is an whole, the Jeeva is its component. The ruler of all Jeev Organization is the same ‘Vaishwanra-Hiranyagarbha-Sarvagya’ Ishvara. The respected seer of Shirdi, Param Shraddheya Shri Sai Baba has rightly said, “Sabka Malik Ek’, or The lord of all is one.

 

            The Rasa and Bala pervading endless sphere of ‘Parameshwara’ has been termed as ‘Mahavana’. Within this ‘Mahavana’ the ‘Shodhsi Parajapati’, equipped with the 16 Kala’s created by Mahamaya’s incessant action is like the endless forest. We are related to one huge tree of this forest which is known as ‘Maheshwara Prajapati’ who is inculcated with the three phenomenons of ‘Avwyaya, Kshara and Akshara’. The universe is made from the five Pinda’s and their Mandala’s summed up as, ‘Swayambhu, Parmeshthi, Surya, Prithvi and Chandrama’. The lord in this Universe is called as Vishweshwara organization. This alone has been termed as Lord Krishna’s ‘Viraat Swaroop’. The part of Vaishwanar came to be known as ‘Sahastra-pad’ or thousand legs, part of Hiranyagarbha as ‘Sahastra-Aksh’ or thousand hands and part of ‘Sarvagya’ as ‘Sahastra-shirsha’ or thousand heads. This ‘Viraat Purusha’ alone, is ‘Sarwabhootantaratma’.

 

            Shodhshi-form Maheshwara’s Avwaya is the Atma of all Universes. This alone is ‘Paramatma’ and is non-destructible. It is all pervading and is free from life and death. The Atma related to Swayambhu is called as ‘Shantatma’, Parmeshthi’s ‘Mahanatma’, Surya’s ‘Vigyanatma’ or Buddhi, Chadrama’s ‘Prgyanatma’ or Mana and that of Prithvi is termed as ‘Bhootama’. Vaishwanar is the creator of material, Hiranyagrabha is creator of Action and Sarvagya is the creator of Gyan or Consciousness. Thus, the three together form the ‘Karmatma’. This is the brief ‘Srishthi-Chakra’ or Cosmic-Cycle where, Ishwara Prajapati is called as ‘Sakhshi-supurna’ or visualizing entity and the beings related to him are called as ‘Bhokta-Sudharna’ or the experiencing entities.
