Codes of the Brahman

July 5, 2006

Dear All,

It is amazing how all across the world there are myths which have

great similarity. These are some illustrations of the numbers /

codes buried in the myths of various ancient civilisations relating

to the motions of the earth - the stuff on which astrology is based.

Extracts from Fingerprints of the Gods by Graham Hancock and some

other sources

The concepts of synodic and sidereal motion were well known to the

Rig Vedic composers. Synodic motion (time between 2 full moons) of

the moon is 29.5306 days which equals 354 days in a year, and falls

short of the solar year by 11 days. Rig Veda 1.25-8 says that Varuna

knows the twelve Moons. He also knows the Moon of later birth. This

is in reference to the intercalated month added periodically to

reconcile the lunar year with the solar year! Thus 1 month

(intercalary) has to be added to 3 lunar years or 3 months have to

be added to 8 years4. The lunar calendar is practical in terms of

keeping track of time and certainly was followed by many ancient

cultures!

Sidereal motion (1 complete revolution around the earth) of the moon

takes 27.3217 days. Thus along the path of the moon it traverses 27

nakshatras or group of stars. Here Sidharth brings in the myth that

Daksha had 28 daughters and the Moon spends about one day in each

nakshatra and takes a little over 27 days to complete its synodic

cycle. Hence one nakshatra had to go and Daksha married off one of

his daughters to Siva.

A further significance of the number 27 can be seen in a circle

drawn inside a square touching its sides. The circle is divided into

twelve equal parts (12 x 30 = 360). They are named after the common

zodiac signs for convenience. Then the circle is divided into 27

equal parts of 13 degrees 20 minutes (13o 20 " x 27 = 3600)

accommodating 27 stars per asterism. 5

Interestingly this combination of 13 and 20 is found in the Mayan

calendar, referred to as the Tzolkin.! The Mayans also had a 365 day

calendar, known as the Haab which intermeshed with the Tzolkin.

The precession of the equinox appears to be the underlying theme in

Giorgio de Santillana and Hertha von Dechend's masterpiece, Hamlet's

mill, as being the encoded message in myths amongst many cultures.6

Due to precession, the vernal equinox moves along the ecliptic by 1°

in approximately 72 years. Coincidentally, the number of temples

built around Angkor Wat is 72! The Chatur-yuga, 4,320,000 years is

related to the precessional cycle, 25,867 years corresponding to a

precession of 50.1 arc-seconds per year. This is amazingly close to

the normally accepted value of 50.2 arc-seconds for the precessional

constant.

Kak indicates that the distance from the Earth to the Sun is 10

times the diameter of the Sun, while the distance from Earth to the

Moon is 108 times the diameter of the Moon.7 This could be the

reasoning behind the appearance of the number 108 in the Vedas and

Upanishads. Interestingly 11x 22 x 33 = 108, and is the number of

beads in a rosary and also the number of stone figures leading up to

the temple in Angkor. The number of verses in the Rig Veda total

10,800. The total number of bricks in a Vedic fire altar is also

10,800!

To paraphrase Santillana & Dechend , `Again when one finds numbers

like 108, reappearing under several multiples in the Vedas, in the

temples of Angkor, in Babylon, in Heraclitus' dark utterances, and

also in the Norse Valhalla it is not an accident'.

Sidharth also points out that 11x 22x 33 x44x55 = 86,400,000. Now in

1 day you have 86,400 seconds or 43,200 seconds in half a day (the

Kalpa is 4,320,000,000).

A verse from the Norse Poem8, `The lay of Grimnir' (Grimnismal 24)

goes like this:

Five hundred and forty doors

Are built into bright Valhalla

Eight hundred warriors through one door

Shall go out to fight with Fenris.

This would make it 432,000! This is also equal to the number of

verses in the Rig-Veda (10,800) times the pada or lines (40).

The precessional numbers highlighted by Sellers in the Osiris myth

are 360, 72, 30 and 12.

12= the number of constellations in the zodiac;

30= the number of degrees allocated along the ecliptic to each

zodiacal constellation;

72=the number of years required for theequinoctial sun to complete a

precessional shift of one degree along the ecliptic;

71 X 30=2160 (the number of years required for the sun to complete a

passage 30 degrees along the ecliptic, i.e., to pass entirely

through any one of the 12 zodiacal constellations);

2160 X 12 (or 360 X 72)=25,920 (the number of years in one complete

precessional cycle or `Great Year', and thus the total number of

years required to bring about the `Great Return').

Other figures and combinations of figures also emerge, for example:

36, the number of years required for the equinoctial to complete a

precessional shift of half a degree along the ecliptic;

4320, the number of years required for the equinoctial sun to

complete a precessional shift of 60 degrees (i.e., two zodiacal

constellations).

The above numbers turn up in relative profusion in the Mayan Long

Count calendar. The numerals necessary for calculating precession

are found there in these formulae: 1 Katun=7200 days; 1 Tun=360

days; 2Tuns=720 days; 5Baktuns=720,000 days; 5 Katuns=36,000 days; 6

Katuns=43200 days; 6 Tuns=2160 days; 15 Katuns=2160,000 days.

This is a reflection of just a miniscule amount of information

encoded in the infinite Brahman.
