 Welcome to the first issue of “SPIRITUAL FRAGRANCE OF Pt. Sriram Sharma Acharya.

These are exciting times. There has been an explosive growth in all fields of human endeavor and
sciences in the last century. Obviously advances in science and technology have transformed society
beyond measure than what is was even 50 years back.

Yet At the dawn of a new century and a new millennium, we find ourselves stuck in a scientific
worldview that leads us into ever more destructive modes of existence without any guidance toward
wisdom. Our behavior, guided by this worldview, actually threatens our own existence as a species!
Global warming and other disruptions of Earth's weather systems and climate, mass starvation and
disease epidemics, new threats of nuclear, religious, oil and water wars, environmental toxins and
waste buildup, genetic engineering disasters, soil degradation and erosion, water pollution, increased
discrepancies between extremes of poverty and wealth, etc. vie for status in our arsenal of species
suicide weapons. Yet, we know in our hearts and minds and in our very bones that crisis looms so
large now that we can no longer ignore it, that things must change quickly before it is too late.

Both Science and Spirituality deal with our experience of the world. Physical Science try to visualize
the world as a set of events and processes in space and time and connected by a chain of causality
whereas Spiritual Science explores the inner world where it transcends all boundaries of known
concepts of space, time and causality. Spiritualism should be the framework where science, politics,
business, arts and education should operate from. Only then can there be all round and integrated
development. If not science will only succeed in creating silos of excellence which would benefit parts
of the society and may even create conflict.

We want to present a new thinking for people who yearn for a new and inclusive scientific model of
reality that does not separate their experience of this physical world from their spiritual experience of
life, heart’s life story from that of the mind. This will bring forth a new world order that will foster
greater understanding among people, harmony in their lives and an opportunity to work in unison and
participate in the evolutionary process. With humankind this is something that is realistic and can be
manifested in our lifetime.

 The Inspiration

Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya (September 20 1911 – June 2 1990) was a seer, sage and a
visionary of the New Golden Era - Founder of All World Gayatri Pariwar.

His life and work represent a marvelous synthesis of the noble thoughts and deeds of great
personalities like Swami Vivekananda, Sri Aurobindo, Mahatma Gandhi, Socrates and Confucius.

Rev. Pt. Shriram Sharma was a rishi of the present age whose heart pulsated with compassion for all
beings. Every moment of his life was devoted to the welfare of people and the refinement of the moral
and cultural environment. He also pioneered the revival of spirituality, creative integration of the
modern and ancient sciences and religion relevant in the challenging circumstances of the present
times. His personality was a harmonious blend of a saint, spiritual scientist, yogi, philosopher,
psychologist, writer, reformer, freedom fighter, researcher, eminent scholar and visionary.

Biography
Acharya Shriram Sharma (revered as "Gurudev" by his disciples) was a great devotee of Goddess
Gayatri and had attained perfection in realizing its utmost potential. He successfully practiced and
mastered the highest kinds of sadhanas described in Hinduism. He also deciphered the hidden
science of Tantras. He attained the supreme knowledge of the philosophy and science of the Gayatri
Mantra and yoga. He pioneered experiments on simple sadhanas, which could be easily pursued by
the common man / common masses. He initiated programs of spiritual and intellectual refinement of
millions of people without any discrimination of religion, caste, belief, creed , gender, or social status.
He propagated this knowledge for the Enlightenment of humanity, people across the globe.

Shriram Sharma initiated the unique movement of Vichara Kranti (thought revolution movement) with
the very first issue of "Akhand Jyoti" ( monthly magazine name). By 1960, he had translated the 4
Vedas, 108 Upanishads, 6 Darshanas, 18 Puranas, Yogavashishtha, and hundreds of Aranyakas and
Brahmanas in Hindi with lucid commentaries to enable the masses to understand the knowledge
contained in them. The translation was also aimed at eliminating misconceptions, superstitions and
blind customs, which were propagated in the medieval era by deliberate misinterpretations of the
Vedas and other scriptures. Understanding the modern day psychology of the people, and
recognizing the non-relevance, in the present times, of the mythical characters and the background of
life depicted in the Puranas, he wrote "Pragya Purana" in the narrative and conversational style of the
ancient Puranas to preach the eternal principles of happy, progressive and ideal life with practical
guidance relevant to the modern age. He wrote about 3500 books on almost all aspects of human life,
whether it be the elucidation of the esoteric aspects of the subtle science of spirituality, research
directions on brain and consciousness, discussions on child psychology and family institutions,
guidelines on mental, emotional and physical health, and cheerful attitude in daily life. In his
comprehensive and penetrating analysis we find no place for delusion, confusion or misconception.
Through his literature he strikes a chord of empathy in the reader. The message conveyed in the
literature touches the reader's heart with deep sensitiveness, producing a sea of change in his
attitudes and ideologies.
As a part of his intensive study of the Indian culture and religious philosophy, he rediscovered the
sociological and psychological importance of pilgrimage. He taught us how the ancient glory and the
real purpose of the tirthas (sacred places of pilgrimage) could be revived in the present times for the
welfare of the masses.

Imagination is more important than knowledge." Einstein

The Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya (Divine Culture University) recently inaugurated under the
auspices of Shantikunj is an instrument for the revival of the Divine Indian Culture as per his vision.

According to the pressing need of the present times, he developed Shantikunj, as spiritual center for
implementing the teachings of Great Rishis (Saints) into practice. He established Brahmvarchas
Research Institute at Haridwar, a center for inter communion of science and religion. The prime aim
of establishing the Brahmavarchas Research Institute is to establish the ancient Indian Yogic
Philosophy as the science and art of living.

Scientific Spirituality
Gurudev was convinced that modern man could not be persuaded to accept the values of life
patronized by ancient spirituality until and unless these were proved to be scientifically viable for the
welfare of the individual and the society. This was indeed a Herculean task, given the trends of
intellectual and scientific evolution over past millennium and almost simultaneous deterioration of
religion and culture, which had resulted in a near total neglect of spirituality in the human life and the
emergence of blind faiths, misconceptions, and prejudices. The Brahmavarchas Research Institute
founded by him in 1979 near Shantikunj stands as a living example of how his ideas could be
implemented and researched in the modern laboratories.

The Dawn of the New Era

During 1984-1986, he carried out the unique spiritual experiment of sukshmikarana meaning
sublimation of vital force and physical, mental and spiritual energies. He authored a special set of 20
books (termed Revolutionary Literature or Krantidharmi Sahitya) highlighting the future of the world
and conveying the message of the dawn in of the New Era of Truth during the 21st Century. On 2nd
June 1990, he voluntarily shed his physical sheath.
The divine light of knowledge and human glory kindled by him continues to illuminate the excelling
path of their great mission under the auspices of Shantikunj and promises the ushering of "The Age of
Truth" in the years to come.

 Biomagnetic energy in the Human body – Part 1

(This series is based on the book “Astonishing Power of the Bio-Physical and the subtle energies of
the Human body” by Pt. ShriRam Sharma Acharya)

Biomagnetic ocean in the human body

Human body is a wonderful creation of the supreme

natural power. It is endowed with all the physical and
conscious energy forms existing in the universe. The
living system of human body can be identified as a
grand magnet or as a moving electric powerhouse. The
human-magnet through its vital energy can affect and
get affected by others. An in-depth study and controlled
utilization of such effects at (bio)physical and subtle
levels offers challenging and important research
problems in advanced science.

The source of biomagnetism in our body gains energy

from the earth's gravitation similar to what the latter
gains from the sun. All the universal magnetic forces
affect the biomagnetism of the human body. Vital
energy levels of a person vary according to the
biomagnetism of his/her body. The visible effects of
reduction in this magnetic power are: dullness in eyes,
spiritless face, dry skin and lethargic body. Feelings of
oblivion, illusion and fatigue are common in people with
weak biomagnetism. Elevated levels of biomagnetism
on the other hand, give rise to corresponding increase
in the general activeness, charm, enthusiasm, sound
memory and intellect. Persons having more powerful
biomagnetism naturally attract and influence the
weaker ones.

The reception of cosmic radiations by human-psyche is also characterized by the latter's biomagnetic
quality. The north pole of the human magnet is said to reside in the human brain. The formation of an
aura (halo of light) around this vital organ is a result of an upward bioelectric flow near the subtle pole.
The south pole of the human-magnet is situated near the genital organs. The sexual activities are
controlled by the vital energy through this pole. Excessive stimulation of this pole results in severe
loss of the vital energy.

"There's a shift happening in humanity, a shift in consciousness, happening now

because it has to happen now". - Eckhart tolle

 Scientific research into Biomagnetism

Several scientific investigations were taken up to record the biomagnetic energies present within the
body. Doctor Y.A. Kholodov of the erstwhile Soviet Union investigated the effects of a constant
magnetic field on rabbits. In the Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine[1] /) Whole-body
exposures to fields between 30 and 2000 oersteds resulted in nonspecific changes in the [animals’]
electroencephalograms [EEGs]. He also saw that the natural and artificial fields in man’s environment
may have an influence on health and behavior via the nervous system and hypothalamus. Dr.Loenid
Vasilev also from the Soviet Union performed extensive investigation into this which were detailed in
his book “Mysterious phenomena of the human psyche”[2].

Dr. Albert Abrams tried to measure the electromagnetic- energy emitted by a body. Dr.Abraham's
research indicates that the rate of electromagnetic energy through a human body is of the order of
9
80x10 cycles per second; the rate of receiving energy from cosmic radiations however, is much
higher. He developed a hypothesis that the human organisms are very sensitive transmitter and
receiver electromagnetic waves. Abrams concluded that the frequencies of these transmissions was
unique to the human wave length and would vary in states of health and disease. The human
organism has its healthy 'tone' as represented by harmonious vital functions and the state of "mis-
tunement" represent by the clinical signs and subjective symptoms. This contributed to the growing
field of Radisthesia which predicted that all diseases have their own "vibratory rate" which can be
measured and treated with his electronic boxes.

"Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant." - Robert
Louis Stevenson
www.th8revolutions.com 6
 Advanced research in related biomedical sciences has shown that the mutual adjustment of the
magnetic fields among various tissues and cellular interactions control the normal/healthy functioning
of our body. The continuous circulation of blood due to the minute iron and other chargeable particles
in the RBCs results in a consistent flow of an electric current. The electric field generated thereby also
creates a biomagnetic field inside the body [4]. The iron and other charged particles thus provide
energy for various ionic flows at the cellular and organ levels. Because of the highly complex but
extremely well balanced electromagnetic interactions between a large numbers of constituent
macromolecules, each healthy cell in the body is like a string power storage/supply unit. Any
imbalance (due to the intercellular and the extracellular ionic flows) in the cell's electromagnetic
activity amounts to a loss of the vital energy, which results in a reduced resistance to various
diseases.

"The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands, and then
work outward from there." - Robert Pirsig

 Interesting recorded cases

Investigators at the Ontario Medical Association, Canada

observed a case of one Ms. Carolina Clare who
possessed an excess of bio-magnetism. With a little
stimulation her body-magnet was able to attract and stick
iron made substances like knives, spoons, nails etc.
Similar presence of bio-magnetism was observed by
some scientists in the fingers of a female student at
Maryland University. She was able to hang a 1 ft X 1 inch
iron rod in the air by a mere touch of her finger-tips.
Compass needles placed near her used to stop
functioning. Even the people in her proximity would feel
being pulled by an unusual force of attraction.

A man named Frank Mac-Quinstry in Jopline, Missouri

(USA) was sometimes unable to walk because his feet
would stick to the earth in the stimulated state of the
sensitive bio-magnet of
his body. Pulling off by a stronger external force used to be his remedy in such situations.

There are several such recorded cases of “unnatural” bio-magnetism exhibited by humans.

Ancient understanding

The Greek saint and Doctor, Hippocrates had great faith in the power of vital energy. His philosophy
states that - as the body survives because of the power of the soul, it should not be difficult to cure
and regulate its healthy state by using the vital
energy supplied by the power of Prana (vital
energy).

In the recent past, a group of Parapsychologists

headed by Dr. Thalmamos has experimented on
some spiritual healers including celebrities like Dr.
Marshal Warshey. Dr Warshey a urologist by
profession, was known in the western countries for
creating 'liveliness' in the patients by a mere touch
of his finger tips. Many otherwise noncurable
complaints of headaches were also reported to
have been cured by this spiritual healer.The
immense physical power of the vital energy has
been discovered and investigated by different
groups of scientists under different names such as-
Biomagnetism, Bioplasm, Actoplasm, Bioflux etc.
The manifestation of this power is negligible in plants and other organisms as compared to that in the
human beings. Dr. Kerliyan and Dr. Thalmamos chromo-recorded these energy fields around the
human body by using the Kerliyan and Argon photographic techniques. Theosophists call this

“Nothing has any power over me other than that which I give it through my conscious
thoughts.” - Antony Robins
www.th8revolutions.com 8
 'energy-cover' as the Etheric double. Supernatural and spiritual powers are found to depend on this
biomagnetism/vital energy.

The practices of Meditations and Pranayam as described in ancient Indian scriptures can provide
desired effects in the improvement and control of one's biomagnetism. Before going-in for such
practices one must realize that it is essential to avoid any wastage of this great power (vital energy)
and to properly use it by mental control over thoughts and the sense-organs and by practicing an
austere life.

In the next issue we will examine this subtle science into greater depths and take a look at the five
important levels of consciousness.

 The Eternal Law of Karma - I
Create your own world

What is the science behind creating my own destiny?

The law of divine justice follows a mysterious course. In the world we come across many
instances of virtuous people undergoing endless suffering and pain; sinners perpetually enjoying
pleasurable lives; indolent achieving success; hard-working people meeting repeated failures; the
wise suffering adversity; not so wise living in prosperity; egoists held in high esteem; and the
righteous held in contempt. We find people born with silver spoon in their mouths and others facing
one misfortune after another throughout life. The well-known human norms for achieving happiness
and success do not always appear to hold good in practical terms. Such phenomena raise many
questions and doubts about the role of fate in life, the will of God and the relationship of virtuous and
evil deeds with happiness and unhappiness in life.

The rationale given in the ancient literature in this respect does not adequately satisfy the
inquisitiveness of modern minds. Consequently, the new generation is becoming more inclined to
accept the atheistic ideologies, which regard God and the religion as phantoms creations of sick and
fearful minds; the human body merely a chemical combination of inert elements; and denies the very
existence of an immortal soul. The new generation is made to believe that there is no Supreme Being
or God; that destiny has no role to play in life; and that only arbitrary man-made state machinery has
the powers to dispense punishments and rewards.

In this series an attempt has been made to give rational and logical explanations of relationship
between human deeds and destiny. It explains how events of good fortune and misfortune, happiness
and suffering in human life are consequences of one’s own deeds.

Who Maintains the Record of Sins and Virtues?

A verse in the scriptures states that a suppressed conscience takes one to hell and an awakened
conscience leads to heaven. This statement explains the enigma of Heaven and Hell i.e. an individual
himself is responsible for creating heaven and hell in his life. Scriptures (Garura Purana – an Indian
scripture) describes this phenomenon metaphorically. It is mentioned that in the astral world (yamlok)

"The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education." - Einstein

www.th8revolutions.com 10
 there lives a deity named Chitragupta, who maintains the record of good and evil deeds of a sentient
being. When a living being dies and its soul enters the astral world, this deity presents the record of
its good and evil deeds and, based on this account, the soul is assigned to live in heaven or hell.
Common sense would not accept existence of a deity like Chitragupta.

The number of human beings inhabiting this earth is in billions. If we take into account the other living
beings of millions of non-human species, the total number would be beyond mathematical calculation.
It would be an impossible task for an individual to work day and night without rest for millions of years
maintaining records of each moment of life of innumerable beings of the cosmos. Impracticability of
maintenance of such a stupendous record puts a question mark on the very existence of Chitragupta.

Modern science, however, substantiates the reality underlying the metaphorical descriptions given in
the scriptures. Science has now established that all mental, verbal
and physical activities carried out by an individual having a discriminative mind leave subtle
impressions on the deeper levels of the psyche. In this way, like the compressed
audio-visual recordings of events on a microchip of the computer or compact disc, all good and evil
deeds are being recorded in the secret chambers of the sub-conscious mind. This record, like a CD
remains in storage till it is required to be played at a desired moment through an appropriate
mechanism. Since time immemorial, enlightened beings in India have wondered about the role of fate
in human life. Sanskrit and Hindi literature
have abundant references to the “footprints of Karma”, which it is said, cannot be erased by any
degree of intellectual endeavor.

In Indian spirituality, karma stands for any physical, verbal,

mental or social activity. It means that each karma
produces an imprint (Rekha), which cannot be erased
before creating a reaction (Karmaphal). There is a belief
that the Creator (Lord Brahma) inscribes the destiny on the
forehead of a human being and this Divine Inscription
cannot be erased by anyone.

Let us examine this concept from a scientific point of

view. Microscopic examination shows innumerable
furrows in the grey matter all over the brain. Medical
science has not so far come to know the biological
implications of these indentations. Comparative
microscopic research studies have shown that density of these crenulations in the grey matter of
highly evolved persons and thinkers is much more, than in the case of common masses. It shows that
these microscopic lines in the grey matter of the brain are nothing but compact subtle impressions
created by external activities, which we take as imprints of mental, vocal and physical actions.

A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be. - Einstein

www.th8revolutions.com 11
 This record of activities (good and evil deeds) on the
neurons of grey matter proves the existence of an intelligent
mechanism, which Hindu Mythology refers to as the deity
Chitragupta. In Sanskrit language too, the word
“Chitragupta” means “a hidden picture”. It shows that there
exists in the human mind a hidden chamber, an inner
sentient mechanism (Antaha Chetana) or a subtle state of
consciousness (Sookshma Man). (We may compare it with a
back-up file of executable programs in computer parlance).

It is well known that the subtle body coexisting with the

physical human body has four components:

 “Man” (pronounced as Mun)- the source of desires, longings and aspirations;

 “Buddhi”- the discriminative faculty which deliberates, takes decisions and determines a
course of action;
 “Chitta”- which stores traits, habits, inclinations and temperament ;
 “Ahamkar”- the overall personal sense of selfhood (Ego)

It is also established that “Chitta” carries forward its record of good and bad impressions after
dissolution of the body. It appears the expression “Chittagupta” of scriptures came to be known as
“Chitragupta” in course of time. Hence the internal mechanism of mind, which creates the compact
subtle recordings of human activities, could be taken as the deity “Chitragupta” of Hindu mythology.
No doubt, this intelligent mechanism (Chitragupta) is continuously engaged in maintaining records of
all living beings. Since each being has its own personal Chitragupta and, therefore, for the entire
population of animate beings there is an equal number of Chitraguptas. Thus maintenance of records
of innumerable beings does not seem to be impossibility.

Human mind has an infinite capacity for storage of information. It is quite possible for the subtle
sentient mechanism of subconscious mind to maintain a systematic record of activities of a living
being. There is also no contradiction in the one Chitragupta of mythology being countless
Chitraguptas in innumerable beings. Divine powers of God are omnipresent. The universal life-force-
Prana is one, but it is individually present in each living being. Similarly, the subtle celestial elements
designated as deities Indra, Varun, Agni, Shiva and Yama in mythology are also all-pervasive. Air, for
instance, in spite of being identified as fresh air of a garden or polluted air of an industrial area, is an
integral part of the same atmosphere enveloping the earth. Similarly, though inhabiting and operating
in numerous bodies independently, the deity Chitragupta is a single universal celestial entity.

How Does Chitragupta (sub-conscious mind) Maintain the Record?

 What is a Dream?

The agility of our mind flashes innumerable varieties of

thoughts and imaginations in the awakened state.
Random reflections of similar fluctuations continue in the
subconscious state of sleep too and manifest their
arbitrary mingling in variegated expressions of dreams in
general. Therefore dreams most often appear vague and
meaningless. Unfolding the secrets of this free
entertainment has been the center of attraction of the
inquisitive human mind since the time of yore. Equally
important has been the quest for identifying the nature,
cause and mode of interpretation of the rare but
significant occurrence of meaningful dream.

Decipheration and analysis of dreams constituted an important part of transcendental knowledge in

the ancient times. Implications and messages conveyed by dreams were the subject matters of
curiosity and concern for the common people in the later ages too. The masters of this discipline of
knowledge enjoyed high repute in the society. An Italian scholar named Archaemidoras had written a
book on dreams sometime in the second century. The book was entitled “Onirocritica” –– meaning,
“Principles of Analyzing Dreams”. Copies of this hand written book were in great demand those days.
This was later published in the 15th century. Its popularity had risen further by then. This book served

Sometimes people get the mistaken notion that spirituality is a separate department of
life, the penthouse of existence. But rightly understood, it is a vital awareness that
pervades all realms of our being. - David Rast

 as a fundamental document for many other volumes published on dreams and mental reflections in
the later years.

In the early days of modern civilization, people

in some parts of the occidental world used to
believe that during the state of deep sleep the
soul traverses in a ‘new’ world out of the body.
The information gathered by it during this visit
of the extraterrestrial world is expressed via
dreams. So strong was this conviction that
waking up someone fast asleep was regarded
risky because of the apprehension that his soul
may not have returned to his body before its
‘scheduled time’ and so waking him up during
this period may amount to his untimely death.

Modern psychologists often analyze dreams in

terms of mental and bodily conditions. For
instance thrust during sleep might be
expressed as a dream associated with hunting
for rivers or spring of water. If one feels
suffocation in a dream or feels as though
someone is holding his throat tight and putting
pressure on his chest, then he (the dreamer) is
quite likely to suffer from cough, some lung infection or related disorder. Similar to these examples of
subconscious effects, the rise in the temperature of semen in a sleeping state often results in dreams
pertaining to sexual excitements and might lead to night discharge.

In a psychological experiment on dreams two persons were given pens in their hands while sleeping.
One of them dreamt of playing hockey and the other was rotating a club in his dream. When cotton
piece was moved softly over the palms of three sleeping subjects, one of them felt (in dream) as if he
is holding the tail of a cat; another one dreamt of being massaged delicately; the third experienced a
dream in which he was patting his daughter’s silky hair. These examples illustrate the diversities of
imaginations and almost instantaneous response to sentient experiences of the subconscious mind.

Noted psychologist Sigmund Freud had collected authentic information of about 1900 dreams. He
had presented the study of the responsive reflections and psychological implications of these dreams
in his popular book “Analysis of Dreams”. He concluded that dreams are rhetoric expressions of the
unfulfilled desires and suppressed emotions. Ambitions, avarice, lust and worldly desires and
expectations of the people have expanded many folds with materialistic civilization, easy access to
means of sensual pleasure and comforts coupled with a corresponding rise in aplomb and ego.

The suppressed emotions, unfulfilled desires, eagerness of possession and ambitious race in
personal and professional life, etc trigger a revolution in the conscious and unconscious domains of
mind. Their reactions are expressed and artificially ‘materialized’ in the imaginary world of dreams.
Greater extent of these disturbances result in disturbed sleep with haphazard flashes of vague
dreams and may eventually lead to psychological disorders of varied kinds. People having a balanced
attitude of contentment and creativity and those who have emancipated their thinking from the

“Without faith, hope and trust, there is no promise for the future, and without a
promising future, life has no direction, no meaning and no justification.” - Adlin Sinclair
www.th8revolutions.com 14
 clutches of negative impulses of over-
ambition, ego, jealously, etc usually get
sound sleep and do not experience
vague or hazy dreams.

Dreams are termed as mirrors

reflecting the basic nature and intrinsic
tendencies of the individual self. The
nature of one’s dreams helps inferring
his psychology to some extent.
Especially, the roots of intensive
influence of fear, lust, ferociousness,
aversion, etc, in one’s mind are easily
diagnosed by decipheration of his
dreams.

There is also a very distinct class of dreams which are hidden reflections of spiritually refined inner
self and which express subliminal communications at higher realms of cosmic force. Such dreams are
often experienced in the early hours of morning before dawn and are found to be precognitive,

reflections of clairvoyance, or envoys of divine messages. Dreams leading to intuitive discoveries also
fall in this category of the supernormal sensing of the unconscious mind.

“Dreaming is not enough. You have to go a step further and use your imagination to visualize,
with intent! Forget everything you've ever been taught, and believe it will happen, just as you
imagined it. That is the secret. That is the mystery of life.” - - Christine Anderson

Incessant Journey of Scientific Investigations - Dr.Pranav Pandya

Science means knowledge and elucidation of truth.

The rishis – Indian sages of yore - had pioneered this search of truth – reality of Nature, reality of life,
its genesis and ultimate evolution – tens of thousands of years ago in the pre-historic times. These
visionaries, discoverers and inventors of the science of Nature and Consciousness also used to share
their views and research findings in periodic conferences organized in different parts, usually
along the banks of major rivers, of ancient India. Here is a sketchy description of one such panel
discussion.

“The science propounded by the Rishis pertains to decipheration and expression of the power of
Nature and truth of the Omniscient Spirit from different angles. It has uncountable dimensions, each
interlinked with the other in some respect. Its domain is infinite; there is novelty as well as
convergence in each branch, each facet, and each aspect of research in this science. The flow of
knowledge is eternal.

Hence the path of science will continue forever. Its research will carry on without a pause” – with
these opening0remarks, Maharshi Angiras welcomed the august gathering of Maharshis (rishis, who
had achieved eminence in their fields of research), Manishis (accomplished scholars) and
Brahmacharis (research students). This was a gathering for a special advanced research conference.

Almost all Maharshis from across Aryavarta (ancient India) had come there with their scholarly
disciples. The venue also was special – panoramic banks of river
Saraswati at the feet of the majestic Himalayas. Nurtured by the nectar-like pure water currents of
Saraswati, this place, under the serene shades of silvery white Himalayan Mountains was pervaded
with immense natural beauty: surrounded by multicolor smiling flowers here and there protected by
lush green rows of tall tress standing like alert guards with their heads up in pride of the motherland
and natural carpet of soft green grass on the floor. A dense forest was not far off – which
reverberated with casual roars of lions and varieties of other loud or melodious musical sounds of
cheerful animals in the open air. The “Kasturi” deer found in that region were running around the
venue without any fear and thus spreading soothing fragrance everywhere. Being the Ashram of
Maharshi Angiras the place was vibrant with spiritual energy. The Maharshi was the organizer of this
conference.

There were nearly a thousand brilliant participants. Noted amongst invited speakers were Acharya
Bharadwaj (son of Brahaspati), Rishi Pragahs, Munivar Vambarish, Maharshi Medhatithi Kanva and
Acharya Vasushrut – who used to call himself as “son of the soil”. They were stars of attraction
because of their recent findings. They had investigated the science of Nature in a comprehensive way
and deciphered novel aspects of its visible and invisible facets. At the end of his welcome address,
Maharshi Angiras invited all of them on the dais and requested them to commence the panel
discussion highlighting the aims and scope of the conference.

Acharya Bhardwaj spoke on the holistic approach of the ancient Indian sages towards scientific
research. He said that science as viewed and developed by the rishis pertained to search of truth in
an absolute sense and it was not confined only to matter or manifestation of nature, which was
perceivable through the sense organs; rather its domains of research encompassed the infinite
expanse of Nature, consciousness force and eternal reflections of God.

www.th8revolutions.com 16
 Supporting the views expressed
by rishi Bhardwaj, rishi Pragath
said that if a research was
constrained by a preconception,
prejudiced views, it would not be
considered scientific, as it would
not lead to the search of truth.
Truth by its very definition could
not be restrained by specific
theories or prevailing ideas of
contemporary scientists; one
should be focused but should not
regard that truth could be
investigated only in a particular
way or that truth was truth only if
it could be verified according to
some set norms. Such
convictions made scientific
motives of research as unscientific, he said. He further said that those who believed that science
pertained to only that which could be investigated, experimented or tested, using material means
blocked the real pursuit of science. Physical, Chemical or Biological sciences were confined only to
the material domains of Nature. These could decipher material elements and energy as long as these
could be studied via some instruments. These were confined to perceivable existence
of the inanimate and animate manifestations of Nature.

These alone would not lead to truth, thus these alone could not be regarded as science. He illustrated
his point by elaborative examples in an interesting way. No one would have disagreed with what he
said.

Munivar Vambarish explained the point more deeply:

“Matter or whatever the researchers of the perceivable Nature* regard as elements of creation of
matter is only a manifestation of the tamoguna of Nature. The rajoguna generates activity (energy
vibrations and vitality) in every
element of Nature. The satoguna constitutes what corresponds to the expression and perception of
consciousness and its spiritual faculties. Thus, even the science of nature would be incomplete
without considering the domains of rajoguna and satoguna. That means that along with the study of
matter and energy contained in its elements, scientific research should also encompass the study of
Prana (life-force, vital energy), mental and spiritual energies, expressed as well as intrinsic roots of
thoughts and emotions, subconscious The Pioneers of Scientific Spirituality and unconscious
domains of mind, sublime facets of spirituality and soul-reality.”

“This holistic approach is the nucleus of the scientific investigations of our ancient rishis” — Acharya
Vasushrut suffixed this sentence as an approval and completion (or complementary) remark to what
his predecessor had explained. Continuing further he said: “Considering only on the physical (i.e.
within the grasp of sense-organs or instruments) domains of Nature keep one's research trapped in
the periphery of matter and limited forms of energies. Pursuit of this kind of science shields the sight
of truth. Single-tracked approach cannot lead to the real purpose of science. If the scientists keep
aside the prejudices of regarding truth as what the contemporary norms and theories in their field of

specialization suggests and discard the negative approaches of rejecting other (subtler) dimensions
of Nature, they would be able to see newer horizons of Nature and may some day succeed in
deciphering the ultimate reality of the soul and the supreme spirit (God). The science propounded by
the ancient rishis is free of all such limitations; it adopts positive approach to knowledge and research
embracing all the visible and invisible, the physical and sublime, the mental and spiritual, expressions
of truth beyond the periphery of space and time. This is why their path leads to peace, harmony and
welfare of all. Negative approach of material based science* may be misused and lead to destructive
developments. A positive or constructive approach makes prudent use of everything in nature for
noble purposes.

For example, in Ayurveda, every plant may be used for some medicinal preparation. On the contrary,
a single tracked materialistic goal-oriented researcher may synthesize an artificial medicine** or may
convert a natural product into a toxic** one.” Most importantly, the speaker emphasized that “the
science of rishis aims at satyam, shivam, sundaram – it not only leads to the search of truth (satyam),
but also to benevolence (shivam) and auspicious bliss (sundaram)”.

The host Maharshi Angiras was attentively listening to the discussion; the smile on his face reflected
a deep sense of contentment and appreciation in his heart. He suddenly looked at Maharshi
Medhatithi Kanva who had been silent till then; he appeared engrossed in some deep thoughts.

He was senior-most of the eminent researchers, who had explored and experienced the subtle world
inside the atoms and subatomic particles and also the world beyond our three dimensional space.
Maharshi Angiras requested him to say a few words on the theme of the panel
discussion.

The preeminent spiritual scientist said — “Every realm of existence is as real as the world on this
earth. As the plants, animals, humans and other creatures and life-forms exist on this earth at
different levels of manifested expression of
the Omnipresent Consciousness Force; similarly, the yakshas, pitars, devagana, etc exist in subtler
realms. The ionosphere and ideosphere of the earth are affected not only by the energy waves of the
animate and inanimate creation on the earth, but also by the energy currents in the other realms of
existence. This science of our Vedic rishis deals with the study of this interdependence as well. As all
the scholarly views presented so far have pointed out, there is no limit of time or space in the
investigations of these
scientists. After all, their science is holistic. It aims at elucidation of the absolute reality of Creation
(Nature) and the Creator (God), all dimensions of their existence and expressions, all realms of
evolution of life”.

After highlighting this 'satyam' aspect of Rishi-Science, he also reminded the younger researchers of
its role as shivam and sundaram by reminding them that the Vedas say – “Vigyan yagya Tanute,
karmani Tanute api Cha|” (Meaning - Science protects and nurtures the growth of all yagyas –
experiments for global wellbeing and also of all karmas – deeds of happy progress).

Indeed, this concluding remark conveys a message that is relevant even today. May these
inspirations of the 'Rishi - Science' cultivate spiritual attitude in the modern science too .

* Modern science and technology fall under this category.

** Several of the synthetic drugs and antibiotics are of this type.

What are Vedas ?

The Vedas are probably the most misunderstood word that we have in the world today.
Because whenever we hear about the Vedas we always forget the adjective associated with it
– “Apaurusheya” meaning that Vedas are not from human beings. It is not created or
developed by any human being. It is Apaurusheya. Then about the Rishis (sages) who have
written the Vedas, it is said that they are “Mantra Drashta”. So whatever we read in Vedas is
Mantra Drashta – a vision of the seers. It is almost like science. For example the gravitational
force – the Drashta of it is Newton. But Newton has not created the gravitational force. It has
been there in the universe even before Newton discovered it. But what Newton could do was,
he could understand, utilize the force and then we are able to use. And it is with the use of that
force that the whole of physics has developed. But when we talk about the gravitational force
in the language of Newton, then we can say that the mantra Drashta for gravitational force is
Newton. But the force is Apaurusheya. There is nothing human in it. If we can think about
Vedas with this concept in mind, we can understand what great scientific knowledge we have.
It is a literal science in Vedas which we have. But again when we talk about science, we
should remember that we are interpreting what we get from our 5 senses and then make a
theory of it and when that theory is applicable everywhere irrespective of time and space, we
call it a law. What Vedas has given is a process of using Vigyanamaya kosa (wisdom) .
Vedas contain the past, present, future and universal science.
