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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The Samhitas form the first part of each of the four Vedas. As Samhita is the collection of the mantras, so sometimes Samhitas are referred to as Mantras. Most of these mantras or hymns are concerned with nature and deities.
Sam-Samhitas consist of mantras in the form of songs, which are meant for liturgy.
Yajur-Samhitas consist of mantras composed in the form of poems and prose.
Atharva-Samhitas consist of mantras meant for routine rites and rituals.
Every Veda contains Mantras / Suktas सूक्त sUkta n. Vedic hymn सूक्त sUkta n. song of praise सूक्त sUkta adj. well or properly said or recited सूक्त sUkta adj. well said सूक्त sUkta n. wise saying
Vedic Suktas:
A Suktam is a part or portion of Vedic verses in praise of a Deity or group of Deities to please accordingly, and to have a desire fulfilled.
Many Suktas are simple Prayers without any specific mundane goal, the goal being Self Realization.
Each Mantra is of any of these three types.
Rik- Metrical and obeys one of any 100 defined Meters, Verse of Illumination.
Yajur Mantra is Prose.
Sama is detailed rhythmic singing of A Mantra.
Rig Veda and Atharva Veda have only Rks.
Yajur has both Rk and Yajur(Prose)
There are common verses in both Rig Veda and Yajur Veda Samhitas.
Rig Veda Samhita.
“This is the oldest Vedic text, as also the largest.
It comprises of 10552 mantras in 1028 hymns (=Suktas).
The hymns are divided amongst 10 books called the ‘mandalas’.
Mandala 9 has 114 hymns address to Soma. Mandalas 1 and 10 are considered later additions, for most part.
The Rigveda Samhita is often also divided into 8 parts called ‘Ashtakas’ which are further divided into 8 chapters each.
Thus, there are 64 chapters according to this classification, which is later than the Mandala scheme’.
Sama Veda Samhitas have 1875 Riks.
Yajur Veda.
Shukla Yajur has 3988 Mantras.
Krishna Yajur 700 Mantras.
Atharva Veda Samhita Atharvaveda Samhitas are Shaunakiya and Paippalada.
The former has 5977 mantras arranged in 20 books called ‘kandas’ while the latter has approximately 7950 mantras arranged in as many kandas.

The first Human Literature of th world, The Rig Veda of the Hindu’s is dated around 5000 BC
It refers to River Sarasvati which flowed once in India and joined the Arabian Sea.
Satellite images have confirmed that river Sarasvati existed and there have research papers stating that a Civilization flourished on the banks of the River Sarasvati.Please
read my posts on this.
Now there are research papers quoting the Rig Veda , and the recent archaeological evidence , state that there existed another River from the Himalayaso joining the Arabian Sea.
And there were urban settlements , numbering around 800!
And the same research also states that The RigVeda has also been speaking of this Land mass’ culture.
And adds that the Hindus lived even 50, 000 years ago practicing Sanatana Dharma.
”
So, the scientists noticed that it
appeared to be older than the European cultures. Since the European
languages were related to the Indian language Sanskrit of the Vedas
that could only mean that the European peoples had to have come out
of India somehow and then gone to Europe with their languages that
differentiated into Russian, English, Spanish, German and the rest of
them. The European investigators didn’t like that idea because it would
have given the Vedic culture a position superior to their own. So, these
early cities in the Indus Valley like Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro have
been identified by archaeologists such as Richard Meadows and others
as being non-Vedic. They think the Vedic culture came into India maybe
3500 years ago.Isn’t that inconsistent with the concept of the Vedas of
the Krishna character who comes and says the universe is teeming with
life and appears to have knowledge about other habitations in the cosmos
and is talking from an age that would go back at least 9,500 years?In these
ancient Sanskrit writings, there is no hint at all that the culture came from
anywhere else.And if they are the prime source and if the Vedic literature
can be taken literally, then it implies that there were cities there inhabited
at least several thousand years ago.
Yes, and there has been other research going on in that area. For
example, the Rg Veda, which is one of the earliest Vedic literatures,
talks about a mighty river called the Saraswati that flowed from the Himalayan mountains down to the Arabian Sea, down in that area of
northwestern India. And such a river doesn’t exist there today. So,
what happened is that people thought therefore the Rg Veda cannot
be talking about India. It has to be talking about some other place
outside of India where there was some kind of river.
But what happened that is quite interesting a few years ago is that
archaeologists in India started studying the satellite photographs from
American satellites like LANDSAT had been providing and they
noticed there was a dry river channel that began up in the Himalayas,
a huge river that went down almost to that Bay of Khambaht
(Cambay) we are talking about (the location of the underwater
city site). And then later, they found that on the banks of that river
there were 800 to 1000 urban sites, archaeological sites.So, it does
appear that what the Rg Veda was talking about, a mighty river lined
with cities in India over 5,000 years ago – that has to be true. The last
time that river had water in it was over 5,000 years ago?Is there a
possibility that there could have been some sort of non-human
co-habitation on the continent of India let’s say 50,000 years ago
that could explain all of the Vedas?
Yes. In Kashmir, the valley of Kashmir, it appears it was many years
ago a lake. Now, there is an ancient Sanskrit manuscript that tells of
a lake that existed in that area, so that account is there in some ancient
writings. Now, according to modern geological reporting, about 40,000
years ago Kashmir was indeed a lake in the valley of Kashmir in northern
India. It was covered by a huge lake and it was blocked on the southern
end by a little range of mountains. And at a certain point, something
happened and it broke open and the lake drained out. That happened
about 40,000 to 50,000 years ago. So, it is interesting that you’ve got
this ancient historical record that talks about this lake. And if it is to be
taken literally, then it means that somebody must have seen this lake
as it existed 50,000 years ago and wrote about it.”

Forbidden Archaeology
Forbidden Archeology: The Hidden History of the Human Raceby Michael A. Cremo and Richard L. Thompson quickly became a best selling underground classic, with over 200,000 copies sold and translations in more than13 languages. This massive work spawned waves of resistance and wonder amongst the scientific community, with over 900 pages of well-documented evidence suggesting that modern man did not evolve from ape man, but instead has co-existed with apes for millions of years!
Michael Cremo lectures to academic, popular, and scientific audiences around the world in a continuing challenge to Darwinian evolution.
For, the Vedas are based , not on the words,but on the Sounds that have been grasped by the Rishis from the Akasa,Ether in a flash of intuition.
Svara, Note is very important.
Equally important is the Akshara, the syllables constituting the Swara..
The Swara and the letters are to rendered as grasped initially by the Rishis and expressed through the Vedas.
The recitation of Vedas is also conditioned by the Matras, the time taken to recite a Syllable and the pauses one makes while rendering the Vedas.
Neither the Sruthi, the syllable nor the intonation Swara should be in disharmony.
The synchronized rendering of Sruthi (Syllable) and Swara,Tone makes the rendering of the Vedas effective.
There are different ways/types of rendering the Vedas.
Rules have been set forth to combine words and syllables so that they are not altered.
According to this the words of a mantra are strung together in different patterns like “vakya”, “pada”, “karma”, “jata”, “mala”, “sikha”, “rekha”, “dhvaja”, “danda”, “ratha”, “ghana”.
Ghanapatam:
The chanting of the scripture up to the advanced stage is called “ghana”. “Pathin” means one who has learnt the “patha”.
When we listen to ghanapathins chant the ghana, we notice that he intones a few words of a mantra in different ways, back and forth.
There are other methods of chanting like karma, jata, sikha, mala.
The purpose of these methods is to ensure that even not even a syllable of a mantra is altered to the slightest extent.
The words are braided together.
”
In “vakyapatha” and “samhitapatha” the mantras are chanted in the original (natural) order, with no special pattern adopted.
In the vakyapatha some words of the mantras are joined together in what is called “sandhi“.
There is sandhi in Tamil also; but in English the words are not joined together.(Sandhi may be loosely translated as Conjunction)
Because of the sandhi the individual words are less recognisable in Sanskrit than even in Tamil.
In padapatha each word in a mantra is clearly separated from the next.
It comes next to samhitapatha and after it is kramapatha. In this the first word of a mantra is joined to the second, the second to the third, the third to the fourth, and so on, until we come to the final word.
In old inscriptions in the South we find the names of some important people of the place concerned mentioned with the appellation “kramavittan” added to the names. “Kramavittan” is the Tamil form of “kramavid” in the same way as “Vedavittan” is of “Vedavid”.
In jata patha, the first word of the mantra is chanted with the second, then the order is reversed-the second is chanted with the first.
Then, again, the first word is chanted with the second, then the second with the third, and so on.
In this way the entire mantra is chanted, going back and forth. In sikhapatha the pattern consists of three words of a mantra, instead of the two of jata.
Ghanapatha is more difficult than these.
There are four types in this method. Here also the words of a mantra are chanted back and forth and there is a system of permutation and combination in the chanting.
Samhitapatha and padapatha are called “prakrtipatha” (natural way of chanting) since the words are recited only once and in their natural order.
The other methods belong to the “vikrtipatha” (artificial way of chanting) category. (In krama, though the words do not go in the strict natural order of one-two-three, there is no reversal of the words-the first after the second, the second after the third, and so on. So we cannot describe it fully as vikrtipatha).
Leaving out krama, there are eight vikrti patterns and they are recounted in verse to be easily remembered.
Jata mala sikha rekha dhvaja dando ratho ghanah
Ityastau-vikrtayah proktah kramapurva maharsibhih
All these different methods of chanting are meant to ensure the tonal and verbal purity of the Vedas for all time.
In pada the words in their natural order, in krama two words together, in jata the words going back and forth.
The words tally in all these methods of chanting and there is the assurance that the original form will not be altered.
The benefits to be derived from the different ways of chanting are given in this verse.
Samhitapathamatrena yatphalam procyate budhaih
Padu tu dvigunam vidyat krame tu ca caturgunam
Varnakrame satagunam jatayantu sahasrakam
“
The various pathas or recitation styles are designed to allow the complete and perfect memorization of the text and its pronunciation, including the Vedic pitch accent. Eleven such ways of reciting the Vedas were designed – Samhita, Pada, Krama, Jata, Maalaa, Sikha, Rekha, Dhwaja, Danda, Rathaa, Ghana, of which Ghana is usually considered the most difficult.[3]
The students are first taught to memorize the Vedas using simpler methods like continuous recitation (samhita patha), word by word reciation (pada patha) in which compounds (sandhi) are dissolved and krama patha (words are arranged in the pattern of ab bc cd…); before teaching them the eight complex recitation styles.[4]
A pathin is a scholar who has mastered the pathas. Thus, a ghanapaathin (or ghanapaati in Telugu) has learnt the chanting of the scripture up to the advanced stage of ghana. The Ghanapatha or the “Bell” mode of chanting is so called because the words are repeated back and forth in a bell shape. The sonority natural to Vedic chanting is enhanced in Ghana. In Jatapatha, the words are braided together, so to speak, and recited back and forth.[5]
The samhita, pada and krama pathas can be described as the natural recitation styles or prakrutipathas.
The remaining 8 modes of chanting are classified as complex recitation styles or Vikrutipathas as they involve reversing of the word order. The backward chanting of words does not alter the meanings in the Vedic (Sanskrit) language.
Mnemonic.
Prodigious energy was expended by ancient Indian culture in ensuring that these texts were transmitted from generation to generation with inordinate fidelity.
Towards this end, eight complex forms of recitation or pathas were designed to aid memorization and verification of the sacred Vedas. The texts were subsequently “proof-read” by comparing the different recited versions.
Some of the forms of recitation are —
The jaṭā-pāṭha (literally “mesh recitation”) in which every two adjacent words in the text were first recited in their original order, then repeated in the reverse order, and finally repeated again in the original order.[7] The recitation thus proceeded as:
In another form of recitation, dhvaja-pāṭha(literally “flag recitation”) a sequence of N words were recited (and memorized) by pairing the first two and last two words and then proceeding as:
The most complex form of recitation, ghana-pāṭha (literally “dense recitation”), according to (Filliozat 2004, p. 139), took the form:
word1word2, word2word1, word1word2word3, word3word2word1, word1word2word3; word2word3, word3word2, word2word3word4, word4word3word2, word2word3word4; …These extraordinary retention techniques guaranteed the most perfect canon not just in terms of unaltered word order but also in terms of sound.
That these methods have been effective, is testified to by the preservation of the most ancient Indian religious text, the Ṛgveda (ca. 1500 BCE).
Similar methods were used for memorizing mathematical texts, whose transmission remained exclusively oral until the end of the Vedic period (ca. 500 BCE).
