Vishnu

When evaluating a system(Prithvi), it's Soma is very important. It always exists and we need to figure out what it is. Most of the Deities exist in the same manner. And once we do so, the rest is left to see how they play. Like any other scientific discovery, where scientists translate(Agni: the transforming(Agni) variables are the Soma) a fluid system(Dyava), for example, to an electrical system(Prithvi) which is easier to evaluate using Kirchoff's Laws and then remap(Indra: the transformed variables(Soma)) the electrical response(Dyava) to the fluid dynamics(Prithvi) to gain insights(Agni:Soma) regarding the behaviour(Vayu: but more of a Rudra-Vayu entity) of the fluid system(Prithvi). The trick remains on how to use the Deities to evaluate systems(Prithvi) that guide our living rules. Let's do an example. Let's evaluate a Fasting System which many religions, preferably Islam, follow for benevolent causes. The benevolence somehow seems devoid with a large number of followers of Islam even though they follow the Ramadan Fasting strictly. There is something else that's happening. Let's figure it out now. Over here the Soma is Fasting. Simple formula, the adjective of the system is the Soma. The Soma for an Electrical System is Electrical Signals(these specify amounts(Soma) entering the system(Prithvi)). The Soma for a Fluid System is the Fluid under consideration. The Soma for a Biological System is the Biological Fluids(Vitamins, Carbohydrates, Proteins, etc). The Parts are the Deities that take in the Fluids(Soma). So Fasting is the Soma. Well Fasting means restraining oneself from consumables, but in our case it's the Soma which represents consumables. The idea here is that you trying how Fasting tastes like. The taste is that you become weak, you cannot concentrate well in your diurnal activities, you feel sleepy, etc. When you break the Fast, you hog like crazy. According to me Ramadan Fasting which is done in a worldwide scale, should be the key in transforming the World into hungerless. It should be the key in giving life to people who are dying of hunger and not kill those who have life already. Somehow the opposite is happening. Details of what is actually happening requires the knowledge of more Deities I haven't covered yet so far but I can combine those effects into macro-levels to Deities we have already covered. Let's start with Agni as Prithvi's child. Agni is always close to Prithvi. That means whenever we talk about some entity(Prithvi) we consider it as something that can consume(Agni- it has life). With Indra, this entity(Prithvi) can feed(Agni) by itself. We can interpret this as you(Prithvi) feed(Agni process) your(Indra) mind what you learn(Soma) from outside(Dyava) you. Your mind becomes your child. This means you create(your child) something in your mind from what you learn. That creation becomes your child and you feed it.



Your mind has many such creations meaning you have more than one child in our mind. The teachers(A Rudra-Vayu(Father Dyava) and Soma-Chandra(Mother Prithvi) entity) of Islam create an imaginary world to their followers(Agni-Maruts: children). The Father is usually the one who brings Soma and the Mother is the one that filters the good from the Soma turning it into Apas(Water- good for living) for her children. This whole process is represented by a single term Shiva(you will find this represented as Rudra with Chandra in the head and Apas emerging from the head). The children go to the outside world and behave in accordance to what they learn. What they learn controls them. The followers(children) create the same world in their minds. So now that world behaves in two ways. It's like your Parents you feel proud of and your child you also feel proud of. During the learning stage it's a child while during the execution stage it's a Parent. Remember Agni not only takes inputs but also gives outputs. This imaginary world is feed more often making the real world which is also created in their minds automatically, since they live in it, starve or suffer. Now do you see what's happening? Every action of theirs is directed to this imaginary world and not the real world they live in. So the Ramadan Fasting is done keeping this imaginary world in mind and this is why the real world isn't benefiting from it. After I discuss Vishnu we can discuss this matter further.

VISHNU:

Vishnu in Sanskrit means the Active One. Usually represented as The Protector. He gets this ability with his friendship with Indra. Protection is some closed loop form and ensures balance between different entities. Indra and Vishnu are always together and they share some characteristics. That defines their friendship. Infact a only a portion of Indra's characteristics represent Vishnu and this makes Indra still the King of Heaven. But the heavenliness is due Vishnu. The good characteristics of Indra belong to Vishnu. We can say that Vishnu is a subset of Indra. The characteristics are Balance, Protection and Intellectual mainly. From these others characteristics of Vishnu can be derived like Equality, Safety, etc. The Intellectual part is an Indra-Agni entity and Vishnu inherits this property from Indra. When I discuss the Maruts, you will be able to understand Agni's Love characteristic. And so being Intellectual is a form of Love inherited by Vishnu. This is inherited through Indra's association with Agni. A friend's brother is a friend too. In my earlier posts I mention Balance as a characteristic of Indra and used it in explaining the Brotherhood of Indra and Agni. That character actually belongs to the subset Vishnu. With the friendship of Indra and Vishnu, it works marvels and this is called Heaven. From the description given so far Vishnu defines the individuality of an entity. Things that define it as Intellectual, ensures Safety of its kind and creates a Balance. Without Vishnu Indra represents Illusion, Shallow Mindedness, Tit-for-Tat, etc. Somehow discussing Vishnu sounds incomplete without discussing Lakshmi. So let me run through Lakshmi discussion first.

LAKSHMI, THE CONSORT OF VISHNU:

Lakshmi is a feminine goddess of abundance. So far we have been discussing Deities with masculine form, except for Prithvi. So let me give you a hint about characterizing the gender of Deities. The Vedas characterize singular controllability as masculine and multiple controllability as feminine. So anything that represents handling multiple things at the same time is feminine. Since they represent multiple handling, they are usually considered the centre of a system, like the Sun, which according to the Vedas is multiple Agni's. However Surya(Sun) is often denoted as masculine and there is a reason for that I'll get to later. Surya also has a feminine character. Being the centre, females usually stay in one place and expect others to approach them. They like being the centre of attraction and so if beauty ensures that attraction, they work on it more. So if you are wondering why your sister, mother or wife has so many make-up kits, here's the reason. Beauty is always associated with feminine. Therefore you should never tell a girl by mistake that she's ugly. Lakshmi represents abundance in multiple aspects. When one has such thing, they will always be happy creating no room for evils like greed, jealousy, anxiety, anger, etc, because they have nothing to loose. Hence the best cure for these evils is Lakshmi, i.e. believing you have "everything"(multiple- feminine) you need to be human in "abundance" and not in just one thing. Through this thought you can ensure the Safety(Vishnu) of others and yourself. Many Gurujis in India and all over the world say the same thing. They always tell you to evaluate all the gifts(Lakshmi) that are already given to you. Whatever is {given or not given to you has a reason}(Rudra-Vayu entity) sufficient enough to do what you were born to do. Nothing more, nothing less. That makes you unique and it defines your Individuality.

Protection(Vishnu) works only when {all possible angles are covered abundantly}(Lakshmi). It requires Intellectuality(Vishnu) in Multiple Fields(Lakshmi). That's why creating Safety Rules is usually not an easy task. One has to think in all possible ways not once, not twice but a million times to come up with a really strong Safety Rule/Law. It's called having Survival(Vishnu) Instincts. When every possible angle is blocked for you, you loose your Individuality, i.e. whatever defines you to be human. And the person doing this to you will be taken care of accordingly to ensure your Safety. Safety rules only make sense if there exists abundance of that particular entity that are interacting. The interaction can happen in multiple ways and all have to covered.

Lakshmi as a single entity can represent abundance of beauty also. Possessing such an entity improves Intellectuality. This is because since you have everything you need to enjoy, you spend more time(Soma) in developing yourself(Indra). I introduced this to address an important issue I will discuss in my next paragraph.

I kind of struggled to explain the Islam matter in this post without including the all the Deities involved in the explanation. What I'm going to discuss now is very important but it comes from evaluating the behaviour of the Deities in the issue. Many people today feel that Islam is being a menace to humanity and those who read the Quran become monsters. The problem lies with the people and not the book. Let's first get to the inception of Islam. Ever since mankind became arrogant many Divine Spirits had taken birth to set mankind in the right path by getting down to their level of intellect. This arrogance originated from Lanka and spread all over the world as time passed. If you are a person from Sri Lanka and you read this, I feel sorry about it but you will understand what I'm talking about. This arrogance was somehow controlled by the people themselves in most parts of the world except in the Arabian Peninsula. Nature did that. Most parts of the world had beauty in Nature with colorful mountains, plants trees, beautiful lakes, rivers and falls. The breath-taking beauty in these parts played a vital role in making mankind happy and delightful. The arrogance was controlled by Nature itself. The people in the Arabian Peninsula did not have that. It was plain sand and only sand. Only one thing. This region was devoid of the beauty the other parts of the world had. And so the arrogance wasn't controlled here. So if a man saw a beautiful looking girl or lady, he would go ahead to grab her for himself. He would grab as many as he could. Such things were very minimal in the other parts of the world. If a man saw a beautiful girl or lady, he was able to control his arrogant emotions. Prophet Muhammed took birth in the Arabian Peninsula to set these people in the right path. He realized what his people lacked and went down to their level of intellect. The idea of the burqa was to control the men. The Quran works only for people living in the Arabian Peninsula because the Nature there is completely different from the other parts of the world. The Prophet didn't say that a man can have four wives just like that. He said, if the man was growing many orphans personally he could have a maximum of four wives only to mother the orphans. Much of the Prophets language was to interest his people to follow the right path. The use of many virgins was probably to interest them. He also talked about the desert transforming into green beauty. I'm not sure whether he marked this as the end of Islam. But I think what he really tried to say was that once the desert is transformed to be beautiful, mankind's intellectuality should increase and much of things he said should be neglected. By Nature's grace, the Arabian Peninsula is now very rich because of the crude oil reserves they have. It is transforming into a beautiful region and now the intellect of the people is increasing. At this time the Quran can definitely add poison to the developing minds. The Quran should be rescrutinized to find out what can be neglected.

Another important thing people should change from is fighting about what name to call the Supreme Spirit. It's becoming ridiculous especially in this age of scientific development. They should understand that its just a name. It's like car in English is gaadi in Hindi, vandi in Tamil, sayara in Arabic. Now just because someone doesn't call it sayara, he/she doesn't become an infidel.

Now that you somewhat exposed to Rudra, my next post will be about it. After Rudra I will talk about the Maruts and many things will become comprehensible to you.

Soma

There's a lot more we can deduce from the Deity relations. They can lead us to deeper scientific thoughts. But the mind has to trained well to use them effectively. Since Vedas has been part of religion for so long, and as I mentioned earlier about the science of benevolent living, I'll stick to such types of discussions mainly. According to me religion is dirty and it needs to be cleaned up. It is actually the first thing that has to be cleaned up before anything else, even before cleaning up politics, because they are the set of rules people live by as they grow. Yes... since it's something that grows(Agni- learning/consumption) you, it can really define your character. So if it's dirty, you'll become the same. Somehow religion has convinced us that there exist two imaginary worlds, one above us where Gods live in cloudy like places and the other is below us where Demons live with fire and snakes. Well if you think about it, its actually true that there are clouds above us and fire below us. Snakes???... I'm not so sure about... People long ago were poetic and dramatic about everything... They related thoughts with natural elements or with things we experience daily just to convey us their message... Actually thinking that's how things literally are is quite unacceptable... and that's what has happened over time... well to be honest, there was a point of time in the Earth's history that turned mankind to be arrogant, greedy, jealous, dishonest, etc... mankind was never as such before... mankind divided itself and manipulated thoughts to their communities so that they have different beliefs from others and remain separate... it is this that has caused all the havoc and confusion which was not allowed to be questioned... they were supposed to believe it whether it made sense or not... if it didn't they were told to make sense out of it(the senseless). Simple example... just a few decades ago, people in India were burning widows with their dead husbands alive because somewhere in the Vedas it said that the wife burns with her dead husband... they literally thought that was supposed to be done for real, missing its poetic or dramatic flavour... now its no more because India has progressed scientifically over the years... I'll explain that particular notion when somewhere in my blog I feel I have covered enough material to explain it... I believe in step by step learning so that the person reading this blog can fully understand the concepts I explain from the Vedas. I will not make the same mistake that was done earlier. If there's something I don't understand, you won't find it in my blog, and I will not convince you to believe in it... I will not create imaginary worlds for you and so do the Vedas...

SOMA:

Soma is depicted as the drink of the Gods/Deities. So now we are talking about materials that are consumed. Well now that we know that any object(Prithvi) has life(Agni) and can consume(Agni) from its environment(Dyava), that particular material it consumes is Soma. This Soma can be humans in a Customer Service Centre or cars moving on different lanes of a road. Whatever you are modelling, the material that enters the body(Prithvi) from outside(Dyava) is the Soma. The next thing we do is to specify amounts and how they are distributed or moved about (Vayu). Now we are talking numbers... a very important thing for scientific discoveries as well. So when we have parameters(Deities) in a system or equation, they take in numbers/values(Soma) and that decides it's response. So just like numbers are important in science, the Soma concept is also important in Vedic ideologies.

The Vedas describe Indra and Agni as the two main lovers of Soma. And Indra loves Soma more that Agni. If we put Soma as eatable food, this idea will make sense immediately. As living beings(Agni), the idea of sustenance(Indra) leads us to look for food(Soma) to eat. This is depicted in the Vedas as Indra taking in Soma to defeat Vrtra(drought). When we talk about drought, we talk about drought in we need and we take action to balance(Indra) it out. We can translate(Agni) this to learn(Agni): If one feels stressed(drought in happiness), he/she should look for things or people they love to make them happy(balance out the drought in happiness).

[Note: if there's any word that falls under a Deity we have come across so far I will mention it in a WORD(DEITY) format to help you see the Deities in play in my language.]

So Soma can represent expendable things also. We saw it as food, we can see it as money or we can see it as time or space. Any substance that makes things happen. Well the idea "Time is Money" seems to be evident here. It depends if you want that to be the equation of your life. So let's talk about time. The biggest Soma that is given to us. It has limits(Indra) and that defines our existence(Indra). A really smart(Agni) person will try to utilize/spend this to develop himself/herself(Indra) and his/her close associates, like relations/family. You will be wasting that significant time(Soma) if you spend that on destroying another person's life because of jealousy or he/she didn't comply to your thoughts. Time as Soma with Agni as its lover, every second of that time(Soma) gets converted(Agni) by what you do. This will be evident when I get to the Maruts. And it never comes back, i.e. it can't be reused. Much like scrap material left over after production in a factory or the shit you dump in the toilet. To reuse(Indra) that you will need another converter/living thing/life(Agni) to convert that to something useful or good for consumption(Agni). Need another life? It explains the karma concept. So most of what happens in our life is to convert the bad things we did in our previous lives to good things that are useful for salvation. That happens only if you feel you have to correct the mistakes you made. So you will get shit in your next life to balance(Indra- reuse) out the shit you gave in the previous life. Now this doesn't mean that you should wait for your next life to correct your mistakes. All you need to do is realize your mistake and take the pain/shit to correct it to balance it out. When it gets balanced(Indra) out you got your new life. This is what Jesus said exactly. Repent and you will be forgiven. The repenting part is the part where you take corrective measures. It's obvious. You can't say you repented unless you have done something to correct it. The whole point of repenting is to feel the pain you caused on the other person. Same thing happens in work. You make a mistake, who takes the responsibility of correcting it. It's you. And then there are consequences which you will have to take care of as well and once the balance is made, you will not have to worry about it anymore and you can live your new life. The new life is what you get when you are forgiven.

I had to come to Soma to explain this because without this concept explained, I couldn't have explained the value of time(Soma) for life(Agni). Again here to balance(Indra) out the mistake to need to spend time(Soma) for it. Now without discussing Vishnu, I can't make further comments on this matter. Therefore my next post will be about Vishnu. Vishnu is yet another very important Vedic Deity and it is the basis of Hinduism.
