Scientific Sanaathana Dharma and Human body :

 

Jeevaathma is the Pure Soul , a part of Paramaathma , The Eternal Supreme

Brahman.

 

When it is time for a particular Jeevaathma to be born for a purpose and

subject to the Karma of

 

that particular Jeevaathma, Lord Brahma commences the process of creation of

Human body.

 

Jeevaathma is embedded in Five Primordial Elements ( Pancha Mahaa Bhoothas-

 

1. Prutthvi = Mother Earth , 2. Aapa = Water (VaruNa) , 3. Tejas = Fire =

Agnis -

 

Jattara , Pachaka , Theekshna , Dhaatha , Bhootha , Manda , Vishama and Sama

Agnis.

 

4, Vaayu = Air - Life Breath - 5 Pancha Vaayus - PraaNa , Apaana , Vyaana ,

Udaana and Samaana Vaayus.

 

5. Akaash -Sky , Cosmos .

 

It is a scientific knowledge we are what we eat and it comes from Mother

Earth. Our body is 2/3 rd water.

 

Our Lungs and blood carry Air as Oxygen and CO2. Our bodies keep the

temperature constant at 98.4 degrees F

 

or 37 degrees C as we are Homeothermic and Agni is responsible . We are all

products of Cosmic dust , Interstellar dust ,

 

we carry a part of Universe in us - we are a microcosm of A Macrocosm.

 

The body is slowly taking shape enveloped in Astral body , a Causal body and

Jeevaathma exists in four forms -

 

1. Viswa form = aware of Supreme till it is born , 2. Prajnya form =

constantly aware of itself ,

 

3.Taijasa form = a stage between 1 and 2. and 4. Thureeya form = ignorance.

 

The body is endowed with five Pancha Jnaanendriyas = 5 sensory organs -

1.Srothra = ears , 2. Thvak = skin ,

 

3. Chakshu = eyes , 4. Jihva = tongue , palate and oral gustatory glands ,

and 5. GhraaNa = nose ,

 

which serve function of five Pancha Than Maathras = five sensations ,

respectively -

 

Sabda = hearing Sound , Sparsa = perception of Touch , Roopa = Vision , Rasa

= Taste and Gandha = Smell.

 

Then the body is given five Pancha Karmendriyas = five organs of action to

enjoy the above five Jnaanendriyas -

 

1. Vaak = to speak - Larynx , vocal cords , tongue etc. 2. PaaNi = hands ,

in general upper limbs for prehension=holding,

 

3. Paada = feet in general lower limbs " to go where no one has gone before

".4. Paayu = gastro intestinal system - to eat ,

 

and digest and for maintenance , survival and replenishment and 5. Oopastha

= reproductive organs for procreation ,

 

propagation of species , survival of the fittest - after 'ME' comes 'MY

SPECIES'.

 

Then the body has to become a Homo sapiens capable of thinking - hence given

four aspects of Mind - Manas=thought,

 

Chittha=will, Buddhi=Wisdom and Ahankaara= ego for survival - in turn ego is

Sattva = content , Rajas = arrogant , and

 

Thamas=ignorant. Moon (Chandra rules over our mind and moods . Soorya ( Sun)

rules over our body.

 

Now the body needs a shape and this is accomplished by Seven = Saptha

dhaathus = tissues -

 

1. Thvak = skin , 2 . Asthi and Majja = Skeletal system and Bone marrow -

axial skeleton and appendicular skeleton ; white and red bone marrow

 

3. Maamsa = Flesh = muscular system and connective tissue. 4. Raktha = blood

- Circulation - arterial , venous , lymph - Cardio Vascular system,

 

5. Medha = Central nervous system - brain , spinal cord , autonomin nervous

system- sympathetic and para sympathetic autonomous nervous system;

 

peripheral nerves . 6. Rasa = juices - gastro intestinal juices , sweat ,

respiratory secretions . &. 7. Veerya - reproductive products for

procreation .

 

Body is given Nine = Nava Randhras=nine apertures for bodily functions .

 

Now the body is given eight ashtta energies = ashtta vasus , blessed by

ashtta dikpaalakas - Indra , Agni , Yama, Nairuthi(Shiva) , VaruN , Vaayu ,

 

Kubera and Eesaana(Shiva) . Eleven = Ekaadasa Rudras are placed in Five

jnaanendriyas , Five Karmendriyas and Mind.

 

Human is born and then nurtured by Twelve = Dwaadasa Aadithyas (12Suns) . We

bow our heads before our Nine fore fathers and Mothers =

 

Nava Brahmas - Marichi & KaLa ; Athri & Anasooya ; Angiras & Sraddha ;

Pulasthya & Havirbhu ; Pulaha & Gathi ; Krathu & Kriya ;

 

Bhrigu & Khyaathi ; Vasishhtta 7 Arundhathi ; Addharva & Shanthi Nava

Brahmas are direct descendents of Lord Brahma and their nine consorts

 

are daughters of Kardama & Devahoothi .

 

AHAM BRAHMA ; PRAJNAANAM BRAHMA ; AHAM BRAHMA VITH SOHAM BRAHMAN , EKAM SATH

= we are part of PARAMAATHMA -

 

Jeevaathma and PARAMAATHMA are one and the same ( ADVAITHA) and our aim is

to do good and attain NIRVAANa= Moksha ultimately

 

become one with PARAMAATHMA . OM THATH SATH.
