    Rig Yajur Atharva Vedas Hymns Explain Electricity.Text

    I have written about the ancient Indian Texts talking on Electricity.

    Also how the first two lines of the Purusha Suktha has been used, with the help of Magnets to Produce Electricity.

    The Hindu Texts, the Vedas, Rig ,Atharva speak about the nature of electricity.

    More texts form other ancient sources speak of Airplanes,Gravity propelled Machines, Anti Matter.

To keep all the evil forces under control, you, being well-equipped with good means of destruction completely lay down to lasting sleep (death) the evil forces that rob and harass the general public.

    The atomic energy fissions the ninety-nine elements, covering its path by the bombardments of neutrons without let or hindrance. Desirous of stalking the head, ie. The chief part of the swift power, hidden in the mass of molecular adjustments of the elements, this atomic energy approaches it in the very act of fissioning it by the above-noted bombardment. Herein, verily the scientists know the similar hidden striking force of the rays of the sun working in the orbit of the moon.” (Atharva-veda 20.41.1-3).

    Rig Veda.

    Rig Veda 1.119.10
    “With the help of bipolar forces (Asvins), you should employ telegraphic apparatus made of good conductor of electricity. It is necessary for efficient military operations but should be used with caution.”

    Yajur Veda On Electricity.

    Through astronomy, geography, and geology, go thou to all the different countries of the world under the sun. Mayest thou attain through good preaching to statesmanship and artisanship, through medical science obtain knowledge of all medicinal plants, through hydrostatics learn the different uses of water, through electricity understand the working of ever lustrous lightening. Carry out my instructions willingly.” (Yajur-veda 6.21).

    ” O royal skilled engineer, construct sea-boats, propelled on water by our experts, and airplanes, moving and flying upward, after the clouds that reside in the mid-region, that fly as the boats move on the sea, that fly high over and below the watery clouds. Be thou, thereby, prosperous in this world created by the Omnipresent God, and flier in both air and lightning.”  (Yajur-veda 10.19).

    <img src="Four vedas.jpg" alt="Four Vedas"
    ” class /> Four Vedas

     

    Here I am sharing the verses from the Vedas on Electricity with out my comments, for the verses are self-explanatory.

     

    I shall be posting an article on the generation of Electricity based on The Purusha Sukta, with the Photo of the prototype.

     

     

    ”

    (Rig. 1.32.13). To begin with, there is the description electricity which forms in the clouds in the form of lightning.

    Though it has tremendous power, it does not interfere with the solar power.

    However, Lord Indra can vanquish Vritra with the help of lightning.

    �(Rig. 1.23.12). We get electricity which emits blinding light, which we use for all kinds of tasks.

    �(Rig. 1.6.5). This Mantra describes generation of electricity with the help of machines run on wind power.

    Electricity can be easily produced where winds are strong. (Rig. 1.64.9)

    This Mantra instructs about use of electricity in aeroplanes.

    It also describes land vehicles driven with electrical power.

    �(Rig. 8.64.29).

    Many kinds of jobs are performed with the help of electricity, using attraction, retraction, vaporization, freezing, air circulation, as well as generation of new substances

    �(Rig. 1.168.8).

    When rains pour down on the earth from clouds, water in rivers gets agitated. Generation of electricity with the help of this agitated water brings smiles all around, meaning that the earth gets lighted up with lights run on electricity. God, you are great! What extraordinary knowledge you have provided in the Veds!.

    �(Rig. 3.1.14). Intelligent people combine life and soul.

    Similarly, electricity and fire are combined on the earth, and this knowledge is worth attaining for getting our wishes fulfilled. (Rig. 5.52.6).

    Wise and learned persons should attain enlightenment of knowledge about electricity etc, just as the armed forces bring lights into the life of people by protecting the nation.

    �(Rig. 5.54.11). This Mantra describes the equipment soldiers should carry.

    They must have sufficient arms, food, high quality airplanes, glinting armors to guard their bodies, helmets to protect their heads, powerful electrical rays that can destroy the enemy planes

    . This clearly means that there is a description of power electrical beams of waves or rays to be used by armed forces in the Veds.

    �(Rig. 5.86.3). This Mantra advices kings and emperors that just as the sun uses its powerful rays to destroy clouds and causes rains on the earth which brings happiness to the people, the kings and emperors too should use the power of electricity to destroy enemies and bring happiness to their subjects.

    �(Rig. 5.87.10). This Mantra describes that we can clearly listen to our speech elsewhere, with the help of vibration of electrical waves.

    Verse 2: Nav Yo Navati Puro bibhed bahvotjasaa
    Ahi Cha vritrahaavadheet

    Electricity , which breaks, by the energy of its arms the 99 cities, destroys the cloud, which covers the rays of the sun, the source of all energy and power.

    This initial description describes the inherent properties of of electrical energy. Here the “arms of electricity” refers to positive and negative currents. The 99 cities refers to the 99 elements, as known to modern day scientists. In Vedic terminology, these essential elements were known as “Bhogas”.

    Verse 3: Sa na Indrah Shivah sakhashwavad gomadvavama
    Urudhaarev dohate

    That very electric power may be our peaceful friend, providing us with the horse-power to drive our machines, light to light up our houses, and power to produce grains in the fields. Let it bring on prosperity and well-being for us by flowing into numerous currents.

     

    Verse 4: Indra Kratuvidang sutang somang harya purushtut
    Piba vrishaswa taatripim

    Let electricity, so highly spoken of by many learned people, help extract the essence of medicines, thus produced by those, who are well-versed in manufacturing things. Let it keep safe and shower, on us the rain, satisfying all.

     

    Chapter 3 :Hymn XXXI

    Verse 1: Taa Vajrinam Mandinam Stomyam mad indram rathe vahato haryataa haree
    Purunyasmay savanaani haryata indraaya somaa harayo dadhanwire

    Those two speedily moving forces of attraction and repulsion propel the electric current, powerful like the thunderbolt, pleasant and praiseworthy, in this pleasant plane or car. Manifold are the generating powers for the refulgent electricity borne by speedy moving Somas – various kinds of liquid fuels.

    Verse 2: Arang Kaamaay Haryo dadhanwire sthiraay hinvanharayo Haree tura
    Arvadbhiyor Haribhijorshameeyate so asya kaamam harivantamaanashe

    The above mentioned speedy forces of two kinds set in motion strong currents, capable of maintaining steady progress in the attainment of one’s objective in plenty. Whatever complex is attained by these fast moving horsepowers, is enough to achieve the beautiful objective of his, the manufacturer.

    Chapter 2: Hymn XV

    Verse 6: Twam tamindra parvatam mahaamurum vajrena vajrinparvshashchakartitha
    Avaasrijo nivritaah satarvaa apah satraa vishwam dadhishe kevalam sahah

    Just as the thundering electricity reduces the vast cloud to nothing by its thunderbolt, so do you, O King, equipped with piercing weapons like the thunderbolt, smash into pieces the vast armies of the enemy, consisting of various units, by your striking power like the thunderbolt. Just as the waters of the cloud released by the electricity, fall down and flow over the earth, similarly the well-equipped armies of the enemy; being subdued by the might of the king are duly regulated by him. Truly do you alone, O King, hold all the power to subdue the foes.

    The inference is quite obviously to weapons utilizing electricity. “Piercing weapons like the thunderbolt” is a clear pointer to surges of exceedingly high voltage. The lethal electric weapons are used to counter various units of the army. This is another clue, for as discussed above, the EMP effect can be used to advantage for a number of targets ranging from computers, to communication systems. Apparently electricity was employed as one of the primary weapons in military combat during the Vedic era.

    Chapter 4: Hymn XXXVIII

    Verse 5: Indra Idhyorah sacha sangmishal aa vachoyuja
    Indro vajri Hiranyah

    Electricity is well mixed up with Prana and Apana, the 2 horsepowers, yoked to power of speech. Electric power has the striking power of a deadly weapon and is full of brilliance.

  • Do-It-Yourself Solar Power Hits Stores

    NEW YORK — Solar technology is going where it has never gone before: onto the shelves at retail stores where do-it-yourselfers can now plunk a panel into a shopping cart and bring it home to install.

    Lowe’s has begun stocking solar panels at its California stores and plans to roll them out across the country next year.

    This shows how far the highest of the high-tech alternative energy technologies has come. Solar power is now accessible to anyone with a ladder, a power drill, and the gumption to climb up on a roof and install the panels themselves.

    For Lowe’s, it’s an opening into a new and potentially lucrative DIY business.

    “There’s definitely a growing market for this with the number of people moving toward energy efficient homes,” spokesman Steven Salazar said.

    Buyer be warned, however. The DIY part of solar goes beyond installation.

    Professional installers typically handle all the necessary paperwork, like clearance from the local utility and applications for a bevy of government subsidies that can make the system a whole lot cheaper.

    “You put solar panels on your roof without a permit, bad things happen to you,” said Jeff Wolfe, CEO of solar installer groSolar. “The utility could shut off the power.”
    Lowe’s will staff a kiosk near the panels that provides information on how to apply for rebates.

    For anyone willing to tackle the paperwork, Akeena Solar promises a hassle-free installation that will immediately reduce the power you need to buy from the local utility.

    Akeena Solar, Inc., based in Los Gatos, Calif., said it designed a system with the novice in mind.

    “It’s really not a big deal,” said CEO Barry Cinnamon. “The most dangerous thing is learning about ladder safety.”

    The rectangular panels retail at $893 a piece. They produce the same AC power that runs in homes and plug directly into a circuit breaker.

    During the day, the solar panels will act like a large battery, producing energy from the sun and pumping it through the circuit breaker to appliances inside. On cloudy days or at night, of course, homeowners will again draw 100 percent of their power from the grid.

    To install, you’ll need to carry the 40-pound panels to the roof and drill holes – two per panel – into the rafters. After adding a barrier to prevent leaks and a couple of brackets, the panels are bolted to the roof.

    The home would need a dedicated circuit breaker, just like a washer and dryer.

    One panel packs nowhere near the punch of a full solar system.

    A typical solar system installed by a professional usually has 20 panels. Each Akeena panel will generate about 175 watts of electricity, about enough to power a flat screen television.

    If you want more solar power, you can snap another panel to the first, kind of like Legos.

    “People might want to put up one, see if it works. Then with their next paycheck, they may buy four more,” Cinnamon said.

    Lowe’s is offering software that allows the homeowner to monitor the performance of each panel through the Internet. The panels are designed to withstand rough weather including hail storms, and they’re backed with a 25-year warranty covering defects.

    Cinnamon, who mounted the panels on his own home in San Francisco (though he hired a contractor to do the electrical work), said homeowners can save a few thousand dollars, depending on the size of the system, by skipping a professional installer.

    Rival home improvement store Home Depot did offer solar panels briefly this year as part of a pilot project, but those were developed for professional contractors and DIYers with a higher level of technical expertise. You can still buy the solar system on Home Depot’s Web site.

    The system offered by Lowe’s is new territory for solar, putting a small system in reach of almost anyone.

    “That’s going to grab a whole lot of people who never thought of solar in their home,” said Norman Deschamps, an independent analyst for SBI who specializes in the retail market for energy efficient renovations. “The walk-in market is fundamentally new.”
