The mystic meaning of Shree Saraswathi Yanthram

By -


        Recently someone asked me about the scientific meaning of Shree Saraswathi Yanthram and I thought many of you may have same question. Many Hindus have been drawing and praying Shree Saraswathi Yanthram or Shree Saraswathi sign since childhood. Many of you may know that Shree Saraswathi is a goddess of 14 Vidya or sources of knowledge and 64 Kala or art forms. Therefore, she is also a goddess of creation and creativity.
         On another note Shakthi is represented by a triangle in Vedic culture. The real meaning of word Shakthi is skill. You may wonder why a skill is represented by a triangle. A skill is represented by a triangle because a skill requires perfect coordination between Mind, Body & Intellect. The 3 sides of a triangle represent Mind, Body & Intellect.
Let’s learn about Shree Saraswathi Yanthram in this context. Below is a picture of Shree Saraswathi Yanthram.
As you observe the picture closely you may learn that the Yantra has many triangles. In first row you may see just 1 triangle and in second row you may observe 3 triangles, and this continues till 8th row where you may find upto 15 triangles. The sum of this series up to 8th row is 64. These are the number of art forms or kala. On the top of the Yantra, you get to see eyes and heads. Eyes indicate inputs from the sense and heads indicate processing of the inputs. If you know how this Yanthra is drawn, you may realize that this drawing suggests sensing outside world is an input. Such multiple inputs are processed in the brain to develop skills or Shakthi.
You may observe that multiple such triangles also form larger triangles. This indicates multiple smaller and related skills may lead to wider application and evolution of brain.
There is one more occult meaning to this Yanthra. All Indian sciences are formed on one principle and the principle is.
“Yatha Pinde Tatha Brahamande |
Yatha brahamande Tatha Pinde ||”
         This is called ‘Pinda Brahamanda Theory’. This simply means the way it is in Atom that same way it is in universe and the way it is in universe the same way it is in atom. This principle is very similar to the Holographic theory in modern science. The holographic theory states that this world is a 2-dimensional holograph. If we cut any piece of holograph up to certain extent, we get to see entire picture on the holograph.
         Shree Saraswathi Yanthram also represents ‘Pinda Brahamanda Theory’. This is because multiple small triangles are embedded into larger triangles. Similarly, you may see a triangle pointing upwards as well as downwards. Indirectly this is very similar to a holograph so this Yanthra also represents Holographic theory.
         When I learnt about this I was amazed and you might feel the same. I have explained more about Pinda Brahamnda theory or Holographic theory and its relation to Indian culture in my book ‘Eva and Shiva’. If you are practicing any Indian Science like Yoga, Ayurveda or Jyotish then I suggest you read ‘Eva and Shiva’. I also suggest you go through ‘Eva and Shiva’ to understand Hindu culture further.

My next upcoming Book: Vedic Astrology Practitioner Manual

By -

As a student of Vedhic astrology, one of the challenges that I faced was studying classical texts. We have so many texts and every text has some exceptional content. Most of the translators did not get a chance to validate the principles mentioned in the texts and due to this, the accuracy of the translation was reduced. One example is Moola Rashi and Dhathu Rashi. This is well explained in my book ‘Untold Vedhic Astrology’. Due to all the reasons mentioned above, I started noting my own observations while studying various classical texts. Over some time, I also felt that novice students of astrology can progress faster if they get validated knowledge. This is also good for the development of Vedhic astrology. Therefore, I decided to publish my notes from various classical texts as a manual. This is a good reference book for novice students of Vedhic astrology.         While making my notes I referred to many classical texts including Bruhath Parashara Hora Shastra, Bruhath Jat

The milk of our second mother, Indian cow or ‘Gomatha’ (Most liked Post)

        In one of my posts ( How cow is our mother can bull be our father ), I explained why cow is called ‘Gomatha’ or mother cow in Indian culture. Along with calling mother (as we have milk of the cow), it is also important to understand why only Indian cow milk and not any other cow milk.         Recently I came across an idea of A1 and A2 type of milk. Milk generally has three parts: Fats, Whey and milk solids. The milk solid part is composed of many different proteins, which have their own names, lactose, and other sugars. We are interested in protein part of the solid. One of these proteins is called casein, of which there are many different types, but the one casein we are interested is the predominant protein called beta- casein .  In fact, there is only one difference between A1 & A2 milk. The difference in A1 and A2 beta-casein is the amino acid histidine rather than proline at position 67. The issues relate to a peptide called beta-casomorphin-7 (BCM7). This pep

Vedic Astrology: Calculation of Ascendant or Lagna

By -

Ascendant is the point of ecliptic on the eastern horizon at a specific time. Let us calculate the ascendant step by step To calculate this point tropical longitude of sun is required. Step 1: Calculate the tropical longitudes of the sun. Tropical longitude of sun = Nirayana longitudes + Ayanamsha. Step 2: Calculate the difference between the birth time (LMT) and a sunrise on a given day. This is called as Ishta kala . Step 3: Consider the sign in which the sun is in and the degrees he has traversed in that sign. ( Note: Consider the tropical longitudes of the Sun. ) Step 4: Calculate by direct proportion the expired portion of the sign the sun is in at the time of sunrise. Step 5: Calculate the unexpired portion by deducting the expired portion of the sign as calculated in the fourth step. Step 6: The duration as calculated in the 5 th   step should be deducted from the Ista Kala . If duration of the sign is greater than Ista Kala then ignore
