>1. What do you get by japing Om??????

>2. What is the level that this naam 'OM' Can take you?

>3. Jappa of 'OM' is also called as knowledge of Naama. Every naam has

>its destination where it can take the soul with it. Do anyone know what

>is the reach of 'OM'.

>4. Vishwamitra invented 'OM' True. But he was still nothing in front of

>vasishtha and vasisitha was nothing in front of Janaka.

>5. The celestial world described is good and mind blowing but there is

>an energy which binds this all, which controls this all(we call it

>Parabraham). And nobody like binding. Have anyone tried to go past this

>binding.???? Does anyone knows who to go past this binding. Once in

>crores of years everything in this cosmic world is destroyed and new

>cosmos is created.(this we called mahapralaya)

>6. Scientifically Your soul is a part of this cosmic world. Hence even

>if you reach a level in this cosmic world during the total destruction

>you will also be aligned back from square one this happens as energy can

>neither be created nor destroyed and your soul is a energy in this

>cosmic world.

>7. At first point it is very difficult for normal human to realize the

>feeling of this cosmic world. There are various levels in this cosmic

>world. Vishwamitra was able to feel some of the levels of this cosmic

>world by japping OM. Vasistha was able to feel more and janaka was able

>to cross the boundaries. But has anyone ever thought how a soul could

>achieve these stages.

>

>Every one prays for materialistic pleasures (money,sex etc) which we

>call Maya a force created to disrupt the soul.

>Everyone prays to gain power which we call shakti which was created to

>disrupt the soul.

>Every one wants to do good deeds which we call karmas which is a never

>ending bank balance, this was created to keep the soul in the cycle of

>life of death.

>

>Have anyone ever tried to go past these, thinking about your soul ? Very

>rare... as in today's world no one even understands that there is a

>soul. The date-time in which are in is so powerful that the very

>identity of Soul is loosing its significance.

>I know many of you would probably think why should I listen to someone

>who doesn't even believe in GOD.

>Why should I bother to take his views.

>Many of you might just do a shift Delete.

>Fine do not take any views but do definitely give it a thought. May be

> >O God! You are Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Almighty. You are all Light.

>astronomy

> >tell us that our Galaxy called Milky Way or Akash-Ganga contains

> >approximately 100,000 million of stars. Each star is like our sun

> >

> >

> >We know that the moon moves round the earth and the earth moves round

>the

> >sun along with the moon. All planets round the sun. Each of the above

> >bodies revolves round at its own axis as well. Our sun along with its

> >family takes one round of the galactic centre in 22.5 crore years. All

> >galaxies including ours are moving away at a terrific velocity of

>20,000

> >miles per second.

> >

> >And now the alternative scientific meaning of the mantra step by step:

> >

> >(A) Om bhur bhuvah swah: Bhur the earth, bhuvah the planets (solar

>family),

> >swah the Galaxy.

> >

> >We observe that when an ordinary fan with a speed of 900 RPM (rotations

>per

> >minute) moves, it makes noise. Then, one can imagine, what great noise

> >would be created when the galaxies move with a speed of 20,000 miles

>per

> >second. This is what this portion of the mantra explains that the sound

> >produced due to the fast-moving earth, planets and galaxies is Om. The

> >sound was heard during meditation by Rishi Vishvamitra, who mentioned

>it to

> >other colleagues. All of them, then unanimously decided to call this

>sound

> >Om the name of God,because this sound is available in all the three

>periods

> >of time, hence it is sat (permanent).

> >

> >Therefore, it was the first ever revolutionary idea to identify

>formless

> >God with a specific title (form) called upadhi. Until that time,

>everybody

> >recognized God as formless and nobody was prepared to accept this new

>idea.

> >In the Gita also, it is said, "Omiti ekaksharam brahma", meaning that

>the

> >name of the Supreme is Om, which contains only one syllable (8/12).

>This

> >sound Om heard during samadhi was called by all the seers nada-brahma

>(a

> >very great noise), but not a noise that is normally beyond a specific

> >amplitude and limits of decibels suited to human hearing. Hence the

>rishis

> >called this sound Udgith musical sound of the above, i.e., heaven. They

> >also noticed that the infinite mass of galaxies moving with a velocity

>of

> >20,000 miles/second was generating a kinetic energy = 1/2 MV2 and this

>was

> >balancing the total energy consumption of the cosmos. Hence they named

>it

> >Pranavah, which means the body (vapu) or store house of energy (prana).

> >

> >(B) Tat savitur varenyam: Tat that (God), savitur the sun (star),

>varenyam

> >worthy of bowing or respect.

> >

> >Once the form of a person along with the name is known to us, we may

>locate

> >the specific person. Hence the two titles (upadhi) provide the solid

>ground

> >to identify the formless God, Vishvamitra suggested. He told us that we

> >could know (realize) the unknowable formless God through the known

>factors,

> >viz., sound Om and light of suns (stars). A mathematician can solve an

> >equation x2+y2=4; if x=2; then y can be known and so on. An engineer

>can

> >measure the width of a river even by standing at the river bank just by

> >drawing a triangle. So was the scientific method suggested by

>Vishvamitra

> >in the mantra in the next portion as under:-

> >

> >© Bhargo devasya dheemahi: Bhargo the light, devasya of the deity,

> >dheemahi we should meditate.

> >

> >The rishi instructs us to meditate upon the available form (light of

>suns)

> >to discover the formless Creator (God). Also he wants us to do japa of

>the

> >word Om (this is understood in the Mantra). This is how the sage wants

>us

> >to proceed, but there is a great problem to realise it, as the human

>mind

> >is so shaky and restless that without the grace of the Supreme (Brahma)

>it

> >cannot be controlled. Hence Vishvamitra suggests the way to pray Him as

> >under:

> >

> >(D) Dhiyo yo nah prachodayat:

> >Dhiyo intellect, yo who, nah we all, prachodayat guide to right

> >direction. O God! Deploy our intellect on the right path.

> >

> >Full scientific interpretation of the Mantra

> >

> >

> >The earth (bhur), the planets (bhuvah), and the galaxies (swah) are

>moving

> >at a very great velocity, the sound produced is Om, (the name of

>formless

> >God.) That God (tat), who manifests Himself in the form of light of

>suns

> >(savitur) is worthy of bowing/respect (varenyam). We all, therefore,

>should

> >meditate (dheemahi) upon the light (bhargo) of that deity (devasya) and

> >also do chanting of Om. May He (yo) guide in right direction

>(prachodayat)

> >our (nah) intellect (dhiyo).

> >

> >So we notice that the important points hinted in the mantra are:-

> >

> >(1) The total kinetic energy generated by the movement of galaxies acts

>as

> >umbrella and balances the total energy consumption of the cosmos. Hence

>it

> >was named as the Pranavah (body of energy). This is equal to 1/2 mv2

>(Mass

> >of galaxies x velocity2).

> >

> >(2) Realizing the great importance of the syllable Om, the other later

>date

> >religions adopted this word with a slight change in accent, viz., amen

>and

> >ameen.

> >

> >(3) The God could be realized through the saguna (gross) upasana

>(method),

> >i.e.,

> >(a) by chanting the name of the supreme as Om and

> >(b) by meditating upon the light emitted by stars (suns).
