Transcript of nasadiya sukta
In the famous nasadiya sukta (rg-veda) speculates on the principle that in the beginning there existed
nothing, no air, no heaven, no motion, none to exist and it was like a fathomless abyss.
ënasadasinno sadasit tadanim nasi drajo no vyoma paroyat
kamavarivah kuha kasya sarmannambhah kimisad gahanam gabhiramí
- rg-veda 10-129. 1
ëThis Hymn has enlarged the scope of metaphysical speculation by suggesting the ultimate reality to be
both the material and efficient cause of the universe. Even the extraordinary conception of the universe as
continually alternating between the phase of expression and the phase of potentiality,i.e.,by birth-existence
destruction, then a state of quisance and again the repetition of the same cycle and so on foreverí
- siddhavrajam, Dr. J.A.Sharma.
The world of matter is composed of four building blocks i.e., 21 parts of fire or agni, 1000 parts of water,
101 parts of air and 9 parts of earth, totaling 1131 parts. Incidentally this is equivalent to the total number
of divisions of four Vedas i.e., 21 divisions of rg-veda attributing to agni the fire-god, 101 divisions of
yajur-veda attributing to the god of air element, 1000 divisions of sama-veda attributing to the god of water
element, and 9 divisions of athavana-veda attributing to the god of earth element.

ëta dikhata bahusyam prajayaayetií -chandogya.
This initial or primary ëeekshatyatmakaí saktiís geometrical representation is ëSri cakraí or ëSri yantraí.
As an instrument mediating between the aspects of energy inside the individual and the dimensions of
energy outside him, it is structured functionally into three levels ofëspaceí as a medium of movement
1.the level constituting the physical world of things and beings (mahakasa) , representing the objective
world.
2. The level representing thoughts and feelings (chittakasa), the subjective appraisal there off and
3. The level of pure, undifferentiated consciousness (chidakasa), the elimination of this duality.
The three levels denote three degrees of the luminosity. The first level is where the naturally luminous
space is wholly clouded by the predominantly inert and inhibiting ëtamasí. In the second level, the
