Scientific Sanaathana Dharma and Human body :

Jeevaathma is the Pure Soul , a part of Paramaathma , The Eternal Supreme Brahman.

When it is time for a particular Jeevaathma to be born for a purpose and subject to the Karma of

that particular Jeevaathma, Lord Brahma commences the process of creation of Human body.

Jeevaathma is embedded in Five Primordial Elements ( Pancha Mahaa Bhoothas-

1. Prutthvi = Mother Earth , 2. Aapa = Water (VaruNa) , 3. Tejas = Fire = Agnis -

Jattara , Pachaka , Theekshna , Dhaatha , Bhootha , Manda , Vishama and Sama Agnis.

4, Vaayu = Air - Life Breath - 5 Pancha Vaayus - PraaNa , Apaana , Vyaana , Udaana and Samaana Vaayus.

5. Akaash -Sky , Cosmos .

It is a scientific knowledge we are what we eat and it comes from Mother Earth. Our body is 2/3 rd water.

Our Lungs and blood carry Air as Oxygen and CO2. Our bodies keep the temperature constant at 98.4 degrees F

or 37 degrees C as we are Homeothermic and Agni is responsible . We are all products of Cosmic dust , Interstellar dust ,

we carry a part of Universe in us - we are a microcosm of A Macrocosm.

The body is slowly taking shape enveloped in Astral body , a Causal body and Jeevaathma exists in four forms -

1. Viswa form = aware of Supreme till it is born , 2. Prajnya form = constantly aware of itself ,

3.Taijasa form = a stage between 1 and 2. and 4. Thureeya form = ignorance.

The body is endowed with five Pancha Jnaanendriyas = 5 sensory organs - 1.Srothra = ears , 2. Thvak = skin ,

3. Chakshu = eyes , 4. Jihva = tongue , palate and oral gustatory glands , and 5. GhraaNa = nose ,

which serve function of five Pancha Than Maathras = five sensations , respectively -

Sabda = hearing Sound , Sparsa = perception of Touch , Roopa = Vision , Rasa = Taste and Gandha = Smell.

Then the body is given five Pancha Karmendriyas = five organs of action to enjoy the above five Jnaanendriyas -

1. Vaak = to speak - Larynx , vocal cords , tongue etc. 2. PaaNi = hands , in general upper limbs for prehension=holding,

3. Paada = feet in general lower limbs " to go where no one has gone before " .4. Paayu = gastro intestinal system - to eat ,

and digest and for maintenance , survival and replenishment and 5. Oopastha = reproductive organs for procreation ,

propagation of species , survival of the fittest - after 'ME' comes 'MY SPECIES'.

Then the body has to become a Homo sapiens capable of thinking - hence given four aspects of Mind - Manas=thought,

Chittha=will, Buddhi=Wisdom and Ahankaara= ego for survival - in turn ego is Sattva = content , Rajas = arrogant , and

Thamas=ignorant. Moon (Chandra rules over our mind and moods . Soorya ( Sun) rules over our body.

Now the body needs a shape and this is accomplished by Seven = Saptha dhaathus = tissues -

1. Thvak = skin , 2 . Asthi and Majja = Skeletal system and Bone marrow - axial skeleton and appendicular skeleton ; white and red bone marrow

3. Maamsa = Flesh = muscular system and connective tissue. 4. Raktha = blood - Circulation - arterial , venous , lymph - Cardio Vascular system,

5. Medha = Central nervous system - brain , spinal cord , autonomin nervous system- sympathetic and para sympathetic autonomous nervous system;

peripheral nerves . 6. Rasa = juices - gastro intestinal juices , sweat , respiratory secretions . & . 7. Veerya - reproductive products for procreation .

Body is given Nine = Nava Randhras=nine apertures for bodily functions .

Now the body is given eight ashtta energies = ashtta vasus , blessed by ashtta dikpaalakas - Indra , Agni , Yama, Nairuthi(Shiva) , VaruN , Vaayu ,

Kubera and Eesaana(Shiva) . Eleven = Ekaadasa Rudras are placed in Five jnaanendriyas , Five Karmendriyas and Mind.

Human is born and then nurtured by Twelve = Dwaadasa Aadithyas (12Suns) . We bow our heads before our Nine fore fathers and Mothers =

Nava Brahmas - Marichi & KaLa ; Athri & Anasooya ; Angiras & Sraddha ; Pulasthya & Havirbhu ; Pulaha & Gathi ; Krathu & Kriya ;

Bhrigu & Khyaathi ; Vasishhtta 7 Arundhathi ; Addharva & Shanthi Nava Brahmas are direct descendents of Lord Brahma and their nine consorts

are daughters of Kardama & Devahoothi .

AHAM BRAHMA ; PRAJNAANAM BRAHMA ; AHAM BRAHMA VITH SOHAM BRAHMAN , EKAM SATH = we are part of PARAMAATHMA -

Jeevaathma and PARAMAATHMA are one and the same ( ADVAITHA) and our aim is to do good and attain NIRVAANa= Moksha ultimately

become one with PARAMAATHMA . OM THATH SATH.
