The Fourth Dimension: Another Analogy

The other two analogies for the fourth dimension I posted earlier stated why it is hard to understand the concept of fourth dimension, but this one is about how to understand the concept.

Take a piece of paper and a pencil and now we will start with the zero dimension or the non dimensional point, which does not exist practically and mark a dot on paper representing the zero dimension. Mark another such dot on the paper; we know duality, so "two" are always required to produce anything. Now draw a line joining these two zero or non dimensional points. Now this is the one dimensional line. Now drag this line to a certain distance, you will find a two dimensional plane, now assume to drag this plane upwards, this will result in formation of a three dimensional cube, so it was too easy up here. So we can see the line joining from one end to another increases the dimension. So what about the fourth dimension, you must be wondering how to drag this cube? To find this you may search it anywhere on the web "the four dimensional cube" but it is very confusing. I would try to illustrate in the easier manner.

Well, we know that fourth dimension is "Time". So make another assumption, you are at a point X, say, at 12.00 a.m. and after 5 minutes at 12.05 am you change your position and you are at some other point the point Y. Now draw the line joining these two points X and Y. This line is of time. If you see this line at one point of time that means you are seeing your whole movement between that particular interval of time between these two points at one instant of time.

Such cameras have already been developed and are used to observe the growth pattern of embryos of many species, which show the growth of an egg to a fully developed embryo, in a single frame. Amazing!

But, we should not forget time is not linear, but circular as everything is following a circular path, like moon revolves around the earth and earth around the Sun and so on. And that is how time is calculated. So time is circular. So if we assume the point X of our birth and point Y of our death and draw a line between these two points that come out a straight line but it can't be possible, as time is circular which clearly means that we are eternal but not with our physical body . As our physical body is made up of matter and that matter do completes its own time cycle after getting merged in to the five basic elements Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space. This is about our physical body, what about our own self. We got to complete our time cycle and we are the consciousness, we are nail of a wheel on which the whole wheel is rotating around and nail is just doing nothing (only witnessing). The whole universe is balanced by such nail which we call the supreme consciousness or Krishna consciousness or Shiva consciousness; we are the reflection of this universe. Many spiritual organizations like ISKCON (International Society For Krishna Consciousness) are working on this philosophy of Krishna Consciousness to awaken the slept souls, surprisingly western people look more interested in this movement rather than the Indians.



We are deluded by the wheel or the world (mithyajagat: illusionary world) and have forgotten about the real self, "nail" in this example. This is the inward journey towards the nail towards the consciousness. Once we follow this path and become one with that supreme consciousness or the Krishna consciousness we become God, the one who does nothing only "witnesses" or we can say God is like master of this time ring, the "Ringmaster". And salvation (Moksha) lies here.

The Biggest Scam Ever

Mr. X is in the steel business and he is known to the local politicians and keeps on inviting them in his parties and they are obliged by the expensive gifts by Mr. X time to time.

One day he comes to know that the Government Is granting subsidy to the local computer institutes, say the computer machines worth Rs. 10000 each are being supplied at the cost of Rs. 2000 each only. Mr. X has the great idea in his mind. He starts a new company (on papers) , "Mr. X Computer Institute" and is granted the subsidy for 10 computer machines and selling it to another local institute earning Rs. 80000 without even starting the business.

Our telecom ministry sold the spectrum license to the companies like Unitech, Swan telecom, Shyam Telecom, Tata Telecom etc. for Rs. 1651 Cr. Not to say these companies further sold the same to foreign telecom operators on the very higher rates and thus making the huge profits worth Rs. 4500 Cr. , Rs. 2600 Cr., Rs. 2100 Cr. and Rs. 1350 Cr. respectively. The license was sold to many such companies and this is the biggest scam in India ever.

Formerly in 2001 when licence was to be sold it was sold through the process of auction. And this price of Rs. 1651 cr. was fixed at that time. Amazingly our telecom minister maintained the same price of 2001, perhaps he forgot that in 2001 in India there were 3.5 million mobile phone users and now there are more than 30 cr. users in India. Perhaps he forgot Unitech is known for constructing buildings and not for providing telecom services in any part of India.

These telecom companies must be grateful to Mr. A. Raja for this lollypop worth Rs. 1651 Cr. But public want to know on what basis such licences are provided, many others may be waiting outside your office for their turn.

Sound Vibrations and Origin of Languages

Many researches have been going on how languages were originated, but researchers have not reached to any conclusion so far. Well, they have been suggesting the similarities in various languages, like Latin and Modern English, Sanskrit and Other Indian Languages and even simlarities in Sanskrit and English. But the origin of basic languages like Sanskrit, Arbi, Latin is still unknown. What is language, many words constitute to form a language. and words are the different sound vibrations, which I have already discused in my previous posts about Kundalini  lie in our body itself on the lotus petals. Sound vibrations have nothing to do with any specific religion and thesr are same for every human body and consciousness. That is why these languages are also called the divine languages (Dev-Vaani),



Petals On Chakras

Each Chakra has a particular number of petals with a Sanskrit alphabet on each petal. The vibration that is produced at each petal is represented by the corresponding Sanskrit letter. Every letter denotes the Mantra of Devi Kundalini. The letters exist in the petals in a latent form. These can be manifested and the vibrations of the Nadis felt during concentration.

Muladhara Chakra

Svadhishthana Chakra

Manipura Chakra

Anahata Chakra

Vishuddha Chakra

Ajna Chakra

The location of these Energy Centres in our body has already been descibed in one of  my Previous Post

The number of petals of the lotuses varies. Muladhara, Svadhishthana, Manipura, Anahata, Vishuddha and Ajna Chakras have 4, 6, 10, 12, 16, and 2 petals respectively. All the 50 Sanskrit letters are on the 50 petals. The number of petals in each Chakra is determined by the number and position of the Yoga Nadis around the Chakra. I will make it still clear. From each Chakra a particular number of Yoga Nadis crop up. The Chakra gives the appearance of a lotus with the Nadis as its petals. The sound produced by the vibrations of the Yoga Nadis is represented by the corresponding Sanskrit letter. The Chakras with their petals hang downwards when Kundalini is at the Muladhara Chakra. When it is awakened, they turn towards Brahmarandhra. They always face the side of Kundalini.

The Mysterious Kundalini: More about Kundalini

Manastvam Vyoma tvam Marudasi Marutsarathirasi,

Tvamapastvam Bhumistvayi parinatayam nahi param,

Tvameva Svatmanam parinamayitum visvavapusha

Chidanandakaram haramahishi-bhavena bibhrushe.



“O Devi! Thou art the mind, the sky, the air, the fire, the water, and the earth. Nothing is outside Thee on Thy transformation. Thou hast become Siva’s consecrated queen to alter Thy own blissful conscious Form in the shape of the world”.



I am afraid of the crowd waiting in the ques, hitting their heads on the walls of the temples, churches and gurudwaras for their turn to "see" the God, I am afraid of the crowd searching their pockets for coins to donate to God, I am afraid of the crowd who only tend to discuss whether Allah or Bhagwan or Jesus is superior, I am afraid of the crowd discussing about God all the time and knowing nothing, I am afraid of the crowd which is afraid of God, I am afraid of every nonsense activity going on around me.





"Because to me I am the creator, of my own destiny"

"AhamBrahmasmi"



Kundalini, the serpent power or mystic fire, is the primordial energy or Sakti that lies dormant or sleeping in the Muladhara Chakra, the centre of the body. It is called the serpentine or annular power on account of serpentine form. It is an electric fiery occult power, the great pristine force which underlies all organic and inorganic matter.



Kundalini is the cosmic power in individual bodies. It is not a material force like electricity, magnetism, centripetal or centrifugal force. It is a spiritual potential Sakti or cosmic power. In reality it has no form. The Sthula Buddhi and mind have to follow a particular form in the beginning stage. From this gross form, one can easily, understand the subtle formless Kundalini. Prana, Ahamkara, Buddhi, Indriyas, mind, five gross elements, nerves are all the products of Kundalini.



It is the coiled-up, sleeping Divine Sakti that lies dormant in all beings. You have seen in the Muladhara Chakra that there is Svayambhu Linga. The head of the Linga is the space where Sushumna Nadi is attached to the Kanda. This mysterious Kundalini lies face downwards at the mouth of Sushumna Nadi on the head of Svayambhu Linga. It has three and a half coils like a serpent. When it is awakened, it makes a hissing sound like that of a serpent beaten with a stick, and proceeds to the other Chakra through the Brahma Nadi, which is also called Chitra Nadi within Sushumna. Hence Kundalini is also called Bhujangini, serpent power. The three coils represent the three Gunas of Prakriti: Sattva, Rajas and Tamas, and the half represents the Vikritis, the modification of Prakriti.



Kundalini is the Goddess of speech and is praised by all. She Herself, when awakened by the Yogin, achieves for him the illumination. It is She who gives Mukti and Jnana for She is Herself that. She is also called Sarasvati, as She is the form of Sabda Brahman. She is the source of all Knowledge and Bliss. She is pure consciousness itself. She is Brahman. She is Prana Sakti, the Supreme Force, the Mother of Prana, Agni, Bindu, and Nada. It is by this Sakti that the world exists. Creation, preservation and dissolution are in Her. Only by her Sakti the world is kept up. It is through Her Sakti on subtle Prana, Nada is produced. While you utter a continuous sound or chant Dirgha Pranava ! (OM), you will distinctly feel that the real vibration starts from the Muladhara Chakra. Through the vibration of this Nada, all the parts of the body function. She maintains the individual soul through the subtle Prana. In every kind of Sadhana the Goddess Kundalini is the object of worship in some form or the other.



Kundalini has connection with subtle Prana. Subtle Prana has connection with the subtle Nadis and Chakras. Subtle Nadis have connection with the mind. Mind has connection all through the body. You have heard that there is mind in every cell of the body. Prana is the working force of the body. It is dynamic. This static Sakti is affected by Pranayama and other Yogic practices and becomes dynamic. These two functions, static and dynamic, are termed ‘sleeping’ and ‘awakening’ of the Kundalini.

Kundalini : The Sleeping Serpent

                                                            

There are seven energy centres in our body, they correspond to 7 colours of white light and seven regions of our physical body. Each center symbolises a lotus flower with different number of petals, which are actually the vibrations of different sounds. These sounds are the Anahata Nad which can not be spoken but can only be experienced within, Aahat Nad is the one which we hear in the external world. These centers are activated by meditation starting from Mooladhara Chakra to Shasrara Chakra, when the last chakra is opened it is the state of bliss or "Aham Brahnasmi" (I am the creator) which is the state of God. This is the state when we become one with the universe.

To reach this state we have to purify our Ida and Pingala Nadis, by performing few breath exercises then only our Shushumna Nadi gets activated, while doing this practice, energy rises upwards around our spinal cord like a serpent(thats why the name Kundalini) and produce the sounds of different vibrations, as shown in the chart below. Each petal is connected with an organ of our body and vibration of that particular organ is same as of the petal connected, Each lotus flower has Beej Mantra which is a sound of particular vibration, and by activating the chakra that vibration helps curing the organ linked in the case of any disease. These beej mantras are actually the Anahata Nad which are the vibrations within, but still most people utter such mantras from their mouth as told by their Gurujis which is a baseless phenomenon and least effective.

These chakras or energy vibrations also symbolise the story of creation in many prophecies like 7 days of creation in Bible.

Also in Mahabharata Chakravyuh of 7 doors are these chakras of which Abhimanyu failed to open the last one the Sasrara Chakra.

In Ramayana Sanjeevani Booti symbolises the art of becoming one with universe and getting the vibrations of correct frequency as required by the damaged cells need to be cured.

Once again have a look upon the Ten sefirots of Kabbalah in my previous posts, now it may be easier to understand the sefirots, because this is the similar philosophy of Jews.

The names and location, vibrations, colours associated with these chakras are shown in the table below.

Padmas, Lotuses of the Astral body		Muladhara or Adhara Chakra	Swadhishthana		Manipura	Anahata	Vishuddha		Ajna	Sahasrara
Corresponding nerve plexuses in the physical body		(Sacral) Sacro-Coccygeal Plexus	Prostatic Plexus		Solar Plexus	Cardiac Plexus	(Pharyngeal) Laryngeal Plexus		Cavernous Plexus	Pineal Gland

Kundalini Yoga - Scientific Theory

We have brain cells called neurons, there are 2 billion neurons in our brain. But actually we don't have neurons only in our brain we have 6 more energy centers in our spinal cord, these energy centers are made up of neurons, if we see, collectively all these 6 energy centers have 2 billion neurons, i.e., we have 4 billion neurons in total. But these energy centers are not used by us.

In kundalini sadhna we can activate these energy centers and can use them collectively.

There are 7 chakras (energy centers) Mooladhara, Swadishthana, Manipura, Anahat, Vishudhi, Ajnya and Sahasrara Chakra. These chakras represents Earth, Water Fire, Air, Sky, Individual Consciousness and Cosmic consciousness respectively. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet (VIBGYOR)colors of these chakras respectively.

If we do kundalini sadhna and activate these chakras, we can see colors of them, and when all the chakras are activated all the colors combine and make white color, so we can see white light within.

As we know sun provides us energy necessary for life in form of white light. But after completion of knudalini sahdna we can see white light within, it means now we don't need sun's energy to survive. So if one starts living at his own, it means he is not dependent on any other external factor for survival. (so the person is eternal) Or in Kundalini sadhna it's the state of "Samadhi/Bliss". The one who attains it, may say "Aham Bhramasmi" or "I Am The God".

Ida And Pingala Nadis

Ida and Pingala Nadis are not the gross sympathetic chains. These are the subtle Nadis that carry the Sukshma Prana. In the physical body these tentatively correspond to the right and left sympathetic chains.



Ida starts from the right testicle and Pingala from the left testicle. They meet with Sushumna Nadi at the Muladhara Chakra and make a knot there. This junction of three Nadis at the Muladhara Chakra is known as Mukta Triveni. Ganga, Yamuna and Sarasvati dwell in Pingala, Ida and Sushumna Nadis respectively. This meeting place is called Brahma Granthi. Again these meet at the Anahata and Ajna Chakra. In the macrocosm also you have a Triveni at Prayag where the three rivers Ganga, Yamuna and Sarasvati meet.



Ida flows through the left nostril and Pingala through the right nostril. Ida is also called Chandra Nadi (moon) and Pingala as Surya Nadi (sun). Ida is cooling and Pingala is heating. Pingala digests the food. Ida is of pale, Sakti Rupa. It is the great nourisher of the world. Pingala is of fiery red, Rudra Rupa. Ida and Pingala indicate Kala (time) and Sushumna swallows time. The Yogi knows the time of his death; takes his Prana into Sushumna; keeps it in Brahmarandra, and defies time (Kala—death). The famous Yogi Sri Chang Dev of Maharashtra fought against death several times by taking the Prana into Sushumna. He was a contemporary of Sri Jnanadev of Alandi, near Poona. It was he who had Bhuta Siddhi, control over wild animals, through his Yogic practices. He came on the back of a tiger to see Sri Jnanadev.
