The Origin and the Historical Accounts of Advaitha Philosophy
in Indian Sub-Continent, and its relevance to Modern
Cosmology
Arunvel T, Vethathiri International Academy. Chennai.
Abstract: Advent of 17th
Century in the southern
Europe. An Italian physicist was traveling to Rome to
address the critics on his recent observations in
cosmology. The one question he left unanswered in
the inquiry was that ’Are there any verses in our
religion that support the claims you are making now?’.
This unanswered question, changed his fate, by
leading to a house arrest, followed by the forced
death, due to the poor health care facilities which
couldn’t prevent his demise. Five centuries later this
Italian physicists’ works were claimed as ‘Galileo,
perhaps more than any other single person, was
responsible for the birth of modern science’ - Stephen
Hawking, the inventor of the black Hole theory in his
book. That one question – ‘Is it heliocentric or
Geocentric?’ on which Galileo couldn’t convince the
world in 17th
century, to reader’s surprise, was well
expounded in 500 BC itself, according to Indian
literatures. “Aryabhata (476–550), in his magnum
opus Aryabhatiya (499), propounded a computational
system based on a planetary model in which the Earth
was taken to be spinning on its axis and the periods of
the planets were given with respect to the Sun. B. L.
van der Waerden has interpreted this to be a
heliocentric model”, claims the literatures on ancient
cosmology. On similar lines, the knowledge and
wisdom that prevailed in ancient India attempted to
answer many questions, which science is still trying to
resolve in this modern age.
One of the most significant and toughest question in
the minds of cosmologists now is ‘How was this
universe born?’. While we accolade the scientists who
plunge in their minds to answer this difficult question,
this literature review looks at the verses and
revelations in the self-realization stream, which
address this most difficult and not fully answered
puzzle.
Also this paper allots a specific focus on Siddhar.
Vethathiri Maharishi’s contributions in this field of
Advaitha, as his works are considered to be the best
bridging effort between modern science and Advaitha.
The paper broadly looks at the complete subject in 4
major classes:
Class I: The beginning of this thesis is found in ancient
Tamil literatures widely known as the 18 siddhas [as
early as 12th
– 1st
BC]. The paper provides the verses and
the translations for the works of selected south-indian
siddhas namely Agaththiyar, Bogar, Konkanar,
Idaikkaattar, Paambaattichithar, Avvai, Pathanchali etc.
Class II: Another sect of ancient self-realization which
was propounding its revelations around the same ages
is, the Sanskrit verses found in Rig Veda, Upanishads,
Kapila’s Samkhya Philosophy, Vyasa’s Bramhasutras
and Gita and the yoga sutras of Patanjali. All these
works were written in the period of 12th
- 1st
BC, and
were popularly known as the north-indian self-
realization literatures.
Class III: Revelations of various Jeevan Mukhtars who
lived between 15th
– 20th
centuries are considered in
this section. Some of them who were well known for
their revelations on space, universe and consciousness
are Swami Vivekananda, Yogananda, Ramana and
Aurabindho etc.
Class IV: This section details on the scientific
revelations of Swami. Vethathiri Maharishi on his
‘Universal Magnetism’ or ‘Unified Force’ Theory. In
his postulates he refers to a ‘state of utmost energy’
called ‘Gravity’ which transforms into a unit energy
form called matter or particle, and in time combines in
multiple forms to feature as this universe.
Also this paper is a useful literature review on the
philosophy of ‘Mono-Theism’ and its scientific
relevance termed in modern self-realization streams
as ‘Gravity’.
Introduction - Postulates in Modern Cosmology:
Dark energy is a hypothetical form of energy that
permeates all of space and tends to increase the rate

Vethathiri International Academy of expansion of the universe. Dark energy is the most
popular way to explain recent observations and
experiments that the universe appears to be
expanding at an accelerating rate. In the standard
model of cosmology, dark energy currently accounts
for 74% of the total mass-energy of the universe.
The exact nature of this dark energy is a matter of
speculation. It is known to be very homogeneous, not
very dense and is not known to interact through any
of the fundamental forces other than gravity. Since it
is not very dense — roughly 10−29
grams per cubic
centimeter — it is hard to imagine experiments to
detect it in the laboratory. Dark energy can only have
such a profound impact on the universe, making up
74% of universal density, because it uniformly fills
otherwise empty space.
The whole phenomenon started off with the
inventions ‘Cosmological Constant’ and ‘Universe
Expansion’. Albert Einstein coined the term
‘cosmological constant’ to represent the possibility
that even empty space has energy and couples to
gravity. Like other astronomers of the time, he
thought that the universe was static and so proposed
there was a repulsive force from space that kept the
universe in balance. Einstein discarded his own
findings in 1929, when Edwin Hubble found through
his research that the universe was expanding and not
static. Today, new data from Hubble may well prove
Einstein was on the right track. The pull of gravity and
the push of dark energy have been trying to outmuscle
each other since the beginning of time.
In the current scenario, with Stephen Hawking, the
legendary physician, referring to Dark Energy as the
deciding factor for the Universe Expansion, and stating
that in the Big Bang process what awaits us is the Big
chill, and not the Big Crunch, the attention of science
towards Dark Energy is increasing.
Though the whole ideology behind dark energy keeps
changing in the scientific umbrella, the direction of
search for an unknown energy that fills the whole
universe is what this paper intends to refer to.
I. Bramha Gnanam, the central idea of Advaitha in
Ancient Tamil Scripts:
1. Siddhar Agathiyar: The siddha tradition in tamil
scriptures begin with Agathiya as the primal one. In his
verses, bramha gnanam gets reflected as ‘The one
god, who became as this universe [ஈேர� உலக ெமலா�], human body, life-force and senses is the
space [பர� ெவள�] and space in its primordial form is
silent [பர� ஊைம] etc.

[3] the one that created this universe is silent.
2. Bogar , the second siddhar in the 18 siddha
tradition whose fame for intuitive herbal medicines’
inventions is well known, reveals in his verses, space
has no attributes [நி�)ண�], it is void [பா1], it is the
seed for this universe [வ���], it is the absolute
[2ரண�], it is omnipresent[கைரய�ைல] , it is
immaculate / purest [கள3க ற], it is formless
[நிராகார�], it is the ‘I’ [தாெம'ற] etc. Further as in
his revelations, the space itself has become as the
pancha-boothas.

literatures as the one who systematized the whole

II. Bramha Gnanam, the central idea of Advaitha in
Ancient Sanskrit Scripts:
The concrete evidences found in the Sanskrit verses
reveal that in the northern India the culture of Bramha
Gnanam was deep rooted and was nurtured greatly by
many a sages from time to time.
Rig Veda, The most ancient and the primal Sanskrit
reference reads, that,
1. Space is the origin of universe is not merely
nothing [1-2].
2. Space is limitless [4].
3. Space had a breathing type of motion in it
and this was the root cause for evolution of
matter from it [4-5].
“Not-Being was not [1], Being was not then [2]…
The one breathed windless, of its own power [3].
Beyond this there was naught whatsoever [4]….
The root of being in Not-Being was found [5]
By sages tracing it with understanding in their hearts
[5]”
- Rig-Veda X: 129 “
According to historians, the two additional strongest
references written in BC that were backing up the
philosophy of Advaita were Upanishads and
Bramhasutras.
Isha Upanishad comprehends in its verses,
From the Proceedings of the National Philosophy Conference 2010, Department of Philosophy, University of Madras, India
July 20 2010
Vethathiri International Academy
1. Space is an all-pervading energy form [1].
2. It evolved as the functioning universe and
beyond the functioning universe, space in its
primordial form is silent [2-3].
3. The deep dark primordial space is the Divinity
[4].
Isha Upanishad I.1. “All this, everything that moves in

my mind, but mind is projection [evolution] of space
[1].
Kena Upanishad I.6. "What one doesn’t think of by the
mind By which, they say, mind is thought of

Katha Upanishad, another well known category of
verses on Bramhan, reveals,
1. Space is all-pervading
2. Space is formless as well as in all forms.
3. Space is no attributes, it is eternal and in its
primordial form it is unchanged [3].
Katha Upanishad I.22. "Knowing this all pervading
self [1] Bodiless among the bodies [2]"
Katha Upanishad III.15. "The one who has seen that
which is wordless, untouched, formless, unperishing

[3]"
Svetasvatara Upanishad, a well known set of verses
on Bramhan, reads,
1. Space is all pervading [1].
2. Space is absolute [4], with no ending [4] and
attributeless [2].
3. Space is the cause for this universe, and all matter
upon deletion dissolve into space as energy [3].

everything
as butter is contained in milk [1]"
Svetasvatara Upanishad IV.1. "May the one God who,
his purpose hidden, through the yoking of his power in
many ways…Colorless, disposes many colors [2]
and gathers all together at the end and the
beginning [3]"
Svetasvatara Upanishad IV.18. When there is no
darkness, there is neither day or night neither being
nor not-being, just Shiva, absolute That is
imperishable…[4]"
Mundaka Upanishad, another renowned
bibiliography, reads in its verses,
1. Space is beyond the functioning universe, that is,
there is no light, stars or planets [1].
2. Its subtler in its primordial form, yet features at the
macro-function - the universe [2].
3. Its the beyond the universe (in distance), yet,
internal to everything in the universe [3].
Mundaka Upanishad I. 11. "The Sun does not shine
here, nor the moon and stars[1]"

Both being and not-being [2], and that which is
immortal [1]”

reads in its verses,
1. The state of merging of mind with the unity is
inseparable, offering the fullest liberation.
Maitri Upanishad “Water in water, fire in fire
Or space in space cannot be made out
Just so the one whose mind has gone within
Is completely freed. [1]”
Bramha Sutras, one of the most renowned, and the
frequently referred literature that deals with the
'Science of God' in a unique manner through short
verses, reinstates,

2. Space is god[2].
3. Space bears [carries] all the macro-functions of the
cosmos [3].

Samkhya, another school of thought, that existed in
the early Dravidian - Aryan cultures, reinstates in its
concise verses,
1. Both spatial dimensions and time are from space
[1].
2. Primordial Space is immaculate [with no matter],
and beyond the functioning cosmos [2].
3. The nature (prakruti) is the primary form of matter,
all those which are perceived are out of it [3].
4. Space is all-pervading; all that is existing are
products of space [4].
Kapila Book II: I Aph. 12. “[Relative] Space and Time
[arise] from Ether “[1]

Vyasa's indigenous Gita, which forms the crux of
religion based doctrines, in its chapters, particularly in
chapter (9) titled 'The most confidential knowledge'
reveals,
1. The space, in its unmanifested [primordial] form
pervades throughout the cosmos [1].
2. Primordial space, is the origin, the storehouse, has

[2].
3. Primordial Space is not an inactive one, it is the
absolute. The birth and death of macro-functions in
the cosmos do not impact it [3].
4. Space, the primordial energy form, is filled
everywhere, and all creatures dwell in it [4].
5. Space in its functioning state, can be referred as the
maintainer of all macro-micro functions taking place
in the universe, yet, in its primordial form, it exists
beyond the functioning universe, as a causative of the
universe [5].
6. Space is the source cause for the birth of all living
beings.
7. Matter upon deletion becomes as Space, Space
transforms back to the state of matter [7].
8. Nature [functioning] is an emanation of Primordial
Space [8].
9. Nature, the emanation of space, manifests as
panchabothas, mind, intellectual ability, and the state
of self-identity called ego [9].
10. Space is boundaryless [10].
11. Space has nothing that caused it, yet it is the
causal state for the cosmos - All matter is evolved out
of space [11].
"...I (Krishna), the unmanifested, pervade the whole
universe[1]..."
"...I (Krishna) am the origin, the dissolution, the
foundation, the cosmic storehouse, and the seed
indestructible[2]..."
"...there (Krishna) exists the true Unmanifested, the
Immutable, the Absolute, which remains untouched
by the cycles ofCosmic delusion[3]..."
"...The Immutable Absolute, is thus called the supreme
goal...He(Krishna) alone, the Omnipresent, is the
abode of all creatures[4]..."
- Bhavad Gita Chapter 8: Verse 20, 21; Chapter 9:
Verse 4,18.
“Although I am the maintainer of all forms, and
although I am everywhere and I am the source of
creation, I remain alone,
unattached and above all my creations [5].”
- Bhavad Gita Chapter 9: Verse 5&9.
“My womb is the great Prakruthi (Nature) into which I
deposit the seed; This is the cause of the birth of all
beings. All species of life, are born in nature, with me
as the seed giving father [6].”

beings return to the ‘unmanifested state of my cosmic
nature’ [7]
At the beginning of the next cycle, again I cast them

again and again I provide this host of creatures, all
subject to the finite laws of nature."
- ‘Bhavad Gita’ Chapter 9 Verses 7-8.
“My manifested nature (Prakruthi) has an eight fold
differentiation; Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Ether, Sensory
Mind, Intelligence and Egoism.[9]”
-Bhavad Gita: Chapter 7 Verse 4.
“Men without wisdom consider me, the unmanifest as
assuming embodiment (like a mortal being taking a
form) – not understanding my unsurpassable
state…[10]”

“But whoever realizes Me to be the unborn and
beginningless as well as the source of creation [11],
that man has conquered delusion and attained the
sinless state even while wearing a mortal physical

- Bhavad Gita Chapter 10 Verse 3.
To aver all the above, the legendary sage who
envisioned the Advaitha doctrine in the north,
Sankaracharya, also adds,
1. Space is in every matter [1].
2. Space is the source cause for the cosmos [2].
3. Space is I [3].
From the Proceedings of the National Philosophy Conference 2010, Department of Philosophy, University of Madras, India

knowledge absolute, bliss absolute
I am He, I am He [3]. “

III. To extend upon the knowledge of the Bramhan as
it existed in the ancient days, certain Jeevan
Mukthars, have expounded in their own words on the
'space is god' philosophy. Some of them are quoted
here in for their revelations.
Ramakrishna, the sage who first united Advaitha with
Dvaita, reveals in his poems,
1. Bramhan, The Space, at its state of silence [inaction]
[1].
2. Kali, is also Bramhan - Kali is at the state of action
[functioning universe] performing emanation of
matter, maintenance of all matter, and deletion of
matter [2].
3. The functioning universe is a play of kali, the
bramhan at the state of action [3].
“…He who is Brahman is also Sakthi [2]. When
thought of as inactive, he is called as Brahman [1],
and when thought of as the creator, preserver, and
destroyer he is called the primordial energy, Kali
[2]…”
“The Divine mother (Kali) is always playful and
sportive; this universe is her Play (Lila) [3]…Men are
deluded through her Maya and have become attached
to the world [4]…”
- Excerpts from ‘The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna’ spoken
by ‘Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa’.
Vivekananda, the messenger traveler to the west to
bring out the best of eastern doctrines to the world,
reveals Bramha Gnanam in his literatures,
1. Emanation of matter from Space (Akasha), involves
vibratory motion [1].
2. Prana which is an emanation of Space, an unit
energy form is featuring as all forces of nature [2].
3. All macro-functions, panchabothas, micro-functions
of the universe are evolutions of all-pervading,
omnipresent, omniscient Space [3].
4. Prana at a ceased state of vibration dissolves into
space [4].
5. Prana at the state of vibration comes out as the
functioning universe [1].
6. At the beginning, when there was no matter, Space
alone existed in its primordial state [6].
“When there was neither aught nor naught, when
darkness was covering darkness, what existed then?
That Akasha existed without motion. [6]”
“It is the Omni-present, all penetrating existence.
Everything that has form, everything that is the result
of combination, is evolved out of this Akasha… It can
not be perceived…[3]”
“By what power is this Akasha manufactured into this
universe? By the power of Prana…It is the Prana that
is manifesting as gravitation, as magnetism...[2]”
“It is the Akasha that becomes the air, that becomes
the liquids, that becomes the solids; it’s the Akasha
that becomes the human body, the animal body, the
plants, every form that we see, everything that can
be sensed, everything that exists...[3]”
- Swami Vivekananda in ‘The Complete Works of
Swami Vivekananda Volume II Chapter: The Absolute
and Manifestation’ and in ‘Raja Yoga Chapter: Prana’.
“They postulate the existence of a material which they
call Akasha, which is something like the ether of the
scientists, and a power which they call prana. About
this prana they declare that by its vibration the
universe is produced.
When a cycle ends, all this manifestation of nature
becomes finer and finer and dissolves into that Akasha
which can not bee seen or felt, yet out of which
everything is manufactured. All the forces we see in
nature such as gravitation, attraction or repulsion or
as thought, feeling, and nervous motion – all these
various forces resolve into that Prana, and the
vibration of Prana ceases[4]. In that state it remains
until the beginning of next cycle. Prana then begins to
vibrate, and that vibration acts upon the Akasha [1],
and all these forms are thrown out in regular
succession.”
- The Complete works of Swami Vivekananda Part II
Page 240.
“Not only He is the creator, but He is also the created -
He himself is this universe. It is the same one, the one
existence of the universe that is reflecting itself from
the lowest worm to the highest and most perfectly
being. The whole of this universe is one unity, one
existence...You are the self, the God of the universe.

Vethathiri International Academy Say - ‘I am existence absolute, bliss
absolute, knowledge absolute, I am He’...”
- Swami Vivekananda in the book ‘Jnana Yoga’.
Yogananda, the first sage from the east to bind the
religions of west and east, who provided a combined
doctrine between Christianity, Buddhism and
Hinduism, reveals in his literatures,
1. Space is at a vibratory state [1].
2. At an increasingly intensified state of vibration [2],
the first particle [named lifetron] was out from it [3].
3. This lifetron was inherently with pranha, a form of
electronic energy [6].
4. Lifetron is the fundamental particle which is beyond
the atom level [5] and has consciousness [7].
4. Lifetron with Pranha, in time featured as all gross
matter, panchabothas, and as matters of all state
[solid, liquid, gases] etc [4].
“I[Yogananda] have translated it as ‘lifetrons’. The
Hindu scriptures refer not only to the anu, "atom," and
to the Paramanu, "beyond the atom [5]," finer
electronic energies; but also to prana, "creative
lifetronic force [6]." Atoms and electrons are blind
Forces; prana (lifetrons) is inherently intelligent….[7]”
– Paramahansa Yogananda in ‘Autobiography of a
Yogi’ Chapter 43: The Resurrection of Sri Yukteswar
1936
“The vibration of the conscious cosmic energy [1]
became progressively more gross [2], until it began to
manifest as divine, semi-intelligent, instinctively
guided electronic energy [3], and finally as the still
grosser forms of gaseous, liquid and solid energy [4].”
– Paramahansa Yogananda in ‘Mans Eternal Quest’ -
Chapter ‘The missing link between consciousness and
matter’ in 1932.
Ramana, the sage of mouna [silence], who extensively
dealt with the consciousness aspect of primordial
space, reveals in his lectures,
1. Body, Mind, Senses, Panchabothas, and Paramanu
are merely embodiments. The Consciousness that
ever-prevails is the true self.
“I am not the gross body; I am not the five cognitive
sense organs, I am not the five cognitive sense-organs,
I am not the five vital airs; I am not even the mind
which thinks, I am not the nescience either. After
negating all of the abovementioned as 'not this', 'not
this', that Awareness which alone remains - that I am
[1]”
– Ramana Maharishi in ‘Who am I?’
Aurabindo, a freedom fighter- turned into jeevan-
mukthar, reinstates in his poems,
1. Silence [primordial space] is the birthplace of Soul,
the action state [1].
2. All functions are evolved out of silence [primordial
space] [2].
"From Hidden silences the act is born [2]
Into the voiceful mind, the laboring world
In secrecy wraps the seed the eternal sows
Silence, the mystic birthplace of the athman [1]"

Vethathiri International Academy IV. Vethathirian Cosmology:
Vethathiri Maharishi, the most renowned jeevan
mukthar of the 20th
century whose works are very well
known in the self-realization community, is the focus
of this section. The literatures convey that out of his
profound intuitive knowledge, he brought out more
than 2000 poems to celebrate and convey his vision,
and authored over 80 books in Tamil and English. Also
he devoted his entire energy and time conveying his
understanding of the nature of life, the origin of the
universe and the teaching techniques of exercise,
meditation and introspection to develop one’s fullest
potential and live in harmony with oneself and others.
His scientific works on Bramha Gnana is termed as,
‘Vethathirian Model of Universe’. It is an inclusive and
integrated identification and description that starts
from the origin of the cosmos and ends with the
observed natural laws and phenomena. It also
encompasses the evolution of mind, body, genetic
center, and genetic imprints in living beings. He left
the world in 2006 at the age of 95.
Revelations on Unified Force [Gravity] - Bramha
Gnanam as Vethathirian Universal Magnetism:
The 'Unified Force' theory proposed by Swami
Vethathiri Maharishi in 1996, included the following
axioms on space:
Axioms of Vethathirian Model
1. Space has four dimensions associated with it, They
are, 1. Plenum, 2. Omnipotence, 3. Omniscience, 4.
Time.
2. Space is the all-pervading, kinematic quivering
primordial substance inherent with all-potential
energy and consciousness; it has the property
of self-compression and surrounding pressure.
3. Self-compression results in the formation of
spinning quanta of space, termed “formative dust”.
Due to its spin, every dust (or group of dust
formed by surrounding pressure - vethon) radiates a
repulsive flux. This Repulsive flux is termed as
'Magnetism'.
Nomenclatures – Plenum, Omnipotence,
Omniscience, Time: Within and beyond the universe
the absolute space is endlessly filled. We imagine it to
be vacuum (void), but this is an illusory concept. This
absolute space has Force and Consciousness as its
inherent features and it is a 1. Everlasting, 2. All
penetrative, 3. Singular, 4. Transparent, 5.
Imperceptible, 6. Invisible, 7. Dark Fluid Matter.
1. Plenum: Almighty Space is omnipresent and has
infinite energy in it.
“Like ocean is the almighty space
All forms in universe are like tides
Almighty space as all pervasive and
Self-transforms into all forms of universe."
- Gnanak Kalanjiyam 1173
“Divinity is that ‘Almighty Space’
The Static State has no boundary to it
This almighty space, the imperceptible matter
Became as ‘paramanu’ the truth
And filled the whole of the universe…"
- Gnanak Kalanjiyam 1231
2. Omnipotence: Every matter in this universe is
evolved out of the fractionated portions of Almighty
Space. Space self-transforms into every form and
function of this universe (atoms, molecules, planets,
suns and as galaxies) and it actually bears (carries) all
of them in it.
“Its void, its darkness, its nothing
Say those who analyze it with five senses
It is that void which carries and functions
Millions and millions of suns and moons
It is that void as the almighty force,
compresses and functions
All the forms in the universe…"
- Gnanak Kalanjiyam 1146
“If absolute space is not omnipotent
Then what else is omnipotent in this universe?"
- Gnanak Kalanjiyam 1147
3. Omniscience: Omniscience in universe refers simply
the 'order of function' in everything. All forms of
universe inherently has 1.Pattern, 2. Precision, and
3. Regularity. In the cosmos the same 'order of
funcion' features as 'cause and effect' law.
“Before birth and after death (of humans)
One truth that functions as the unified energy”
“In the boundaryless almighty space
From the Proceedings of the National Philosophy Conference 2010, Department of Philosophy, University of Madras, India
July 20 2010
Vethathiri International Academy Occurs the macro-function, which is the universe
Out of the compression of almighty space
All matters are spinning and moving
Pushing each other
We realize this truth"
- Gnanak Kalanjiyam 1071
4. Time: The kinematic quivering in space itself is the
causative for the dimension 'time'. Time is an inherent
quality of space and not an independent parameter by
itself. Further, time in matter can be corresponded to
the whirling vethons.
“The boundary of force (self compressive force) is
resulted as mass,
And the continuation of this is the ‘time’…"
- Gnanak Kalanjiyam 1079
Further, this literature review, quotes some of the
excerpts taken from the auto-biography of Vethathiri
Maharishi, as well as from the biographies written on
him.
Nomenclatures – Vethon / Paramanu, Magnetism:
Within and beyond the universe the absolute space is
endlessly filled. Absolute space has Force and
Consciousness as its inherent features and it is in a
‘Kinematic quivering state’. Space is with self-
compressive all surrounding force which results in
formation of ‘formative dust particles’ that are
nothing but the ‘localized quanta of space in spinning’.
Such ‘formative dust particles’ were compressed by
the Almighty’s self-compressive force and there
formed the ‘Infinitesimal primary energy particle’,
which whirled due to the Self-compressive force of the
surrounding space. The whirling ‘Infinitesimal primary
energy particle’ generates friction against the
surrounding space. This whirling friction is exhibited as
magnetic spreading wave that dissolves in the
absolute space around.
All forms are manifestations of this whirling wave
[Vethon] and spreading wave [Yogon]. Almighty space
progressed in its evolution, atoms, molecules,
elements, stars, Planets and all cosmic features
including planets, animals and eventually humans
evolved in steps.
The physics of Space, The evolution of the first particle
and its energy form, get explained in Vethathiri
Maharishi’s autobiography as,
“My mind expanded and it stood static. The intuitive
feeling blossomed. In my mind the ‘boundaryless
ocean’ (Space) came as an inner vision. The tides of it
became as millions and millions of inner visions…
‘The Space, the primordial state is as an Ocean
All the functions those rise in it are like the tides…’
I obtained the explanations ‘Space is the almighty
truth’, ‘its energy form is the ‘Akash – The
Paramanu’, ‘Its clustered states are Pancha Boothas’,
and ‘Their cumulative features are the macro-
functions of the universe’.”
- Excerpt from ‘Enathu Vazhkai Vilakkam’.
“I was analyzing the connection between the ether and
space for several days - I obtained an inner vision and
an inner explanation:
‘Space is the absolute and it is fractionated
functioning state is the Paramanu or Ether’- What is
called as Shivam and as God /Divine is this ‘Space’.”
– Excerpt from ‘Enathu Vazhkai Vilakkam’.
“’Space is nothing, then how can it be called as
matter?’ this question surprised me for sometime -
Then I got clarity on this one…’All these mighty suns
(stars) and planets actually float in this space’ - When
I perceived this truth, the fact ‘Space is the Almighty’
was explanatory to Me… Likewise I analyzed several
times in the ‘Samadhi State’, in the ‘Turium
State’ also in the ‘Five Senses State [14 CPS]’ for days
and for months and realized on ‘What is 1. Mass, 2.
Energy, 3. Matter and 4.Consciousness’.”
- Excerpt from ‘Enathu Vazhkai Vilakkam’.
“One thing that was not quite explanatory in 1958,
gets explained in 1983 - Until 1983, how the almighty
space, ‘the Bramham’ became as the universe, ‘the
Eshwar’ could not be answered with utmost
clarity…Maharishi takes this pride of uniting the
Bramham with the Eshwar with his truth ‘Almighty
Space has self-compressive all surrounding force in
it’…Swamiji gives the truth of ‘self-compression of the
space acting as the causal action for paramanu
evolution’ and ‘the same compression acting as
surrounding force causing the formation of several
structures of this universe’ as a beautiful
Advaith truth…”
- Excerpt from ‘Intha Noorthandu Thandha Mahan’.
From the Proceedings of the National Philosophy Conference 2010, Department of Philosophy, University of Madras, India
July 20 2010
Vethathiri International Academy “Another question rises in Maharishi’s mind in time -
‘The primordial state, the space is it static or
dynamic?’…He obtains the inner vision as an
conclusion to his analysis, All dynamic forces of the
universe are as attenuated in their original form,
‘Kinematic Quivering of the Almighty Space’ and this
‘Kinematic Quivering’ is functioning as ‘dynamic’ in
every structure of this universe…”
- Excerpt from ‘Intha Noorthandu Thandha Mahan’.
“‘The concept that ‘the self compressive all
surrounding force of almighty space, gets intensive in
a localized region, causing self-spinning of the
almighty space and that self-spinning region in the
Infinitesimal scale is the paramanu’ and the concept
‘Paramanu whirls due to the self compressive all
surrounding force of the almighty space generating
the spreading waves’ are obtained as inner visions of
Swamiji."
- Excerpt from ‘Intha Noorthandu Thandha Mahan’.
“It moved,
That was the beginning,
Before that, It was the silent, static infinite truth,
The shimmering was life, energy tumultuous, cradling
the atoms,
In the rapturous churning of the centrifugal whirl,
They joined and co-joined, clashed and exploded,
In one volatile splendor,
It was the unfolding,
The massing of constellations, the suns and the stars,
The manifestation of all things animate and
inanimate,
The awakening of consciousness…”
- Journey of Consciousness.
Nomenclatures – Shiva Field, Shakthi Field:
Further, the sage classifies the universe into
functioning and non-functioning.
1. Shiva Field – ‘The primordial state with Total
consciousnesses,
2. Shakthi Field [Functioning Universe] – ‘The region of
magnetism, filled with paramanus’.
“The Omnipresence, the Space, The Primordial State,
The Bramham
It is the Divine, the ultimate truth and fulfillment
It is the same which consciousness in Humans
An infinitesimal fraction of that omnipresence is the
Akash
Movement of it, becoming the whirling function
The association of ‘the Akash’ and ‘the
Omnipresence’
It is the universe, the macro-functioning region."
- Gnanak Kalanjiyam 1204
“One unified force as formless (void) and as self-
compression
When it is omnipresent it is the primordial state
The rising of the self-compression, the formless
Is the source atom for every form…
Compression becoming as atom
Then functioning as cumulative forms
This functioning is the planets, stars and galaxies in
the universe."
- Gnanak Kalanjiyam 1072
Functioning Universe - Description: Every paramanu is
an infinitesimal energy particle, which is the
‘fractionated infinitesimal spinning wave state’ of the
Almighty space. The functioning universe is a region
which is filled with paramanus and each one of them
has whirling motion generating spreading magnetic
waves, which expand through out the universe.
Hence the whole universe is an energy field, with
magnetism as its characteristic wave feature. This
function universe is termed as 'Universal Magnetism’
in Vethathirian cosmology.
Nomenclatures – Bio-magnetism, Mind and Genetic
Center-Genetic Imprints:
The following excerpts taken from the revelations of
Vethathiri Maharishi detail the phenomenon bio-
magnetism, mind and genetic center.
“Inside our physical body ‘akash (paramanu)’ particles
are spinning and running in large numbers. The
cumulative functioning of this akash rotational and
spinning function is the ‘Astral Body’ “
- Excerpt from Manavalakkalai Part II
“Every akash particle during motion, develops friction
against the divine field surrounding it and generates
Magnetism. Such magnetic waves dissolve in the
immediate divine field surrounding it and result in
magnetic filed. This magnetic field is called as “Bio-
Magnetism”. Mind is a self-transformed wave state
of bio-magnetism.”
From the Proceedings of the National Philosophy Conference 2010, Department of Philosophy, University of Madras, India
July 20 2010
Vethathiri International Academy - Excerpt from Manavalakkalai Part II
“This bio magnetic current while rotating inside our
body, develops vortex for itself. This vortex is the
genetic center where the magnetic waves are at
compressed storage.”
Genetic center is defined as the,
1. Compressed Center of all the Life Force Particles in
our Astral body.
2. Vortex of our bio-magnetism / bio-magnetic waves.
3. Center where in the Sexual Vital Fluid is kept in the
physical body.”
- Excerpt from Manavalakkalai Part II
“The magnetism of vethons self-transformed and
manifested as light, pressure, Smell, Sound, Taste, and
finally mind in humans."
– Excerpt from ‘Journey of Consciousness’.
“When we see an object, our eye first perceives the
image. The same is then recorded in our brain and
then is dispersed in the bio-magnetic field as a
magnetic wave – All bio-magnetic waves while
whirling inside our body develop vortex for themselves.
This vortex is the genetic center where all the
magnetic waves are at a compressed state. This is also
called as soul.”
- Excerpt from Manavalakkalai Part II
“Like keeping our palm on a chair leaves an imprint of
the shape of the pressed part in our palm, any thought
wave we get is imprinted in our brain cells, gets
dispersed in bio-magnetism (mind), and then taken to
the vortex ‘genetic center’. These imprints at the
genetic center are by default also imprinted in the
sexual vital fluid which kept in our physical body in
the same Mooladhara region by divinity”.
“To correlate this with a simple example, If physical
body can be compared to an audiotape then the
current required for running that tape is the astral
body and the data storage in that tape is the
soul/causal body/genetic center.”
- Excerpt from Arutthandhaiyin Pathilkal Part I & II
“When the Akash particles spin and move they
undergo five functions between each other. They are 1.
Clash 2.Reflection 3.Refraction 4.Penetration
5.Interaction. All these actions cause changes in them
(called as imprints), and these imprints are seen as
qualitative alternations of paramanus.”
- Excerpt from Manavalakkalai Part III
“Akash is the spinning wave, functions the almighty
The spreading wave emanates from akash is the
pressure (magnetism)
Akash particles clash with each other
They reflect, refract, penetrate, and
They interact with each other
All such five functions
Imprint in the Akash particle
Such imprints are the Characteristics of the matter.”
“Consciousness is basic state of our mind
Mind is the Wave State of our consciousness.”
- Excerpt from Manavalakkalai Part III
V. Conclusion:
To conclude, the Bramha Gnana, the knowledge of the
divine, existed in ancient India as an intuitive
comprehension. The incremental versions offered by
many a sages including Vivekananda, and Yogananda
provides a pellucid insight of the subject.
The paper also believes that the Unified Force
(Gravity) Model offered by Vethathiri Maharishi is the
most advanced and best ‘proximate to science’ one.
The literature review and so insists that the scientists
must take the axioms of ‘Vethathirian Unified Force
Model’ into a subject of experimental research to get
the fullest picture of the last unknown force of this
cosmos ‘The Gravity’.
The paper, here in iterates on the axioms,
1. Space has four dimensions associated with it, They
are, 1. Plenum, 2. Omnipotence, 3. Omniscience, 4.
Time.
2. Space is the all-pervading, kinematic quivering
primordial substance inherent with all-potential
energy and consciousness; it has the property
of self-compression and surrounding pressure.
3. Self-compression results in the formation of
spinning quanta of space, termed “formative dust”.
Due to its spin, every dust (or group of dust
formed by surrounding pressure - vethon) radiates a
repulsive flux. This Repulsive flux is termed as
'Magnetism'.
