We have seen that the universe in its un-manifest state is filled with luminescent cuboids and there was a trigger in the form of Pranava which started the absolute time and gave forth visual forms and aural forms.
So this is what Einstein quoted after reading Bhagavad Gita.
"When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous." ~ Albert Einstein
Now let’s try to answer this question:
This process of evolution is depicted very nicely in the following diagram:
The square (in 2D) which is an 8x8 energy grid became a 9x9 energy grid which is manifest / gross. The transition forms were an octagon and a circle. Aintiram suggests how this transition takes place. Current physics accepts that a pulse and a sine wave can be created from each other and this happens because of simple addition of harmonic frequencies.
The primordial pulsation initiates a rotational force and this rotational force as it gains momentum converts the square into a circle and if you notice that the octagon is just an in between state between a square and a circle.
We see confirmation of the details of this manifestation process in Chapter 9, verse 8 of the Bhagavad Gita where Lord Krsna describes His manifestation process to Arjuna:
“prakritim svaam avastabhya visrijaami punah punah”, meaning “Curving back onto myself, I create again and again…”
What it suggests is that the essential shape of every gross form in its natural state is a circle (in 2D) and a sphere in (3D). This is the reason we find every planetary body is almost spherical in shape and this is also the reason as to why the ripples in a water body when we throw a stone in the water are in circles.
Be it the center of a tornado or the shape of a hurricane or a tsunami it always a circular force. The supreme secret in martial arts is that the Chi moves in a circular fashion and hence Tai Chi is the most deadly form of martial arts. Lord Vishnu has Chakra as his weapon to suggest not only light but also the rotational force.
The process of manifestation is captured in these 2 pictures at all the significant stages. If you notice that a single dot becomes multiple dots, then a line, then a pulse and then goes on to becoming a 8x8 energy grid and then to a 9x9 energy grid. 8x8 is un-manifest and 9x9 is manifest. These aspects are very well captured as sutras in the book Aintiram and Pranava Vedam.
If you look at the second picture conceptually the following things happen:
· Subtle Energy becomes gross universe and the fundamental 5 elements are created in the process.
· It is said that 1/10th of the space becomes Air, 1/10th of air becomes Fire, 1/10th Fire becomes Water and 1/10th of Water becomes Earth.
· So we can conclude that we are living in a Space delineated world.
This wisdom was so succinctly captured by my good friend Lao Tzu in “Tao Te Ching” as follows: (Read heaven as un-manifest space and Earth as manifest gross)

| Stages of Manifestation (ref. Fabric of the universe) |
“The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.
The name that can be named is not the eternal name.
The nameless is the beginning of heaven and Earth.
The named is the mother of the ten thousand things.
Ever desireless, one can see the mystery.
Ever desiring, one sees the manifestations…..
Heaven and Earth last forever.
Why do heaven and Earth last forever?
They are unborn, So ever living….
Thirty spokes share the wheel's hub;
 |
| Energy becomes matter |
It is the center hole that makes it useful.
Shape clay into a vessel;
It is the space within that makes it useful.
Cut doors and windows for a room;
It is the holes which make it useful.
Therefore benefit comes from what is there;
Usefulness from what is not there….”
But I wanted to highlight more important aspects to this process of manifestation.
· Advaita philosophy states that there is no duality. If you note that the Parammanu is what is present every living being and inanimate thing. What is within you is what is within me and hence the mahavakya “Tat Tvam Asi”… You are that.
· Vastureva Vaastu – Vastu which is un-manifest and subtle becomes Vaastu which is manifest and gross.
· If we assume that Paramaanu is God’s particle and hence it is divine, then everything in this world is divine. This is the most important philosophy in Hindusim. See the oneness in all and see “All in one”.
· That’s why Hindus saw divinity in everything. Trees, snakes, animals, insects, birds, human beings etc. There is nothing without that divine energy or particle – however you call it.
· This philosophy is UNIVERSAL, OPEN SOURCE, ALL COMPASSING and the highest state of consciousness.
But let’s look at something even more important:
· We all note that Subtle has become Gross. Hence conceptually Gross = Subtle or both are proportionate.
· We all note that Space has become Earth. Hence conceptually Space = Earth or both are proportionate.
· We all note that 8 have become 9. Hence conceptually 8 =9 or both are proportionate.
· We all note that ENERGY has become MATTER. Hence conceptually ENERGY = MATTER or both are proportionate. This is represented by E = mc2 by our great scientist Einstein. While we did not have this specific formula, the concept and the associated texts were very much with us for ages.
"When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous." ~ Albert Einstein
Now let’s try to answer this question:
· When you throw a stone in water / pond the ripples that form take the shape of a circle (in 2D) / sphere (in 3D). Can you guess what the shape of the ripple would be if you throw the same stone in space?
· You would have probably guessed the answer. The ripples in space should be and would be in square / cube in shape.
As a wise man said, “Indians are the most ignorant about their rich past and scientific traditions.”
Happy reading!
