The Ultimate Science

of Gayatri Mantra…

Mail received from Mr. Subhash.

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:-

 

©. 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.
