GAYATRI MANTRA
Dheemahi...Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat
We think of the pure, awless source that gave us power of thinking. Fundamental Principle: More you channelize your output towards your source, more the efciency. In an ideal situation with complete channelization and no dissipation of energy elsewhere, you become a Perpetual Machine. Also provides explanation why Mukti is not innite. Because Perpetual Machines are impossible.

SOME MYTHS ON VEDIC SCIENCE
There was a Vedic period. REALITY: All periods are Vedic periods Once upon a time we had great advancements in science. REALITY: There have always been ups and downs. So real wisdom demands breaking myth of Golden era. Mahabharat era had very advanced technology for missiles etc. REALITY: But they had very disgusting social technologies causing downfall of nation. Today, we have lost the Vedic edge REALITY: Today is the best possible model of Vedic world in documented history. Vedas <=> Indian culture REALITY:Vedas are for entire humanity, and not only India. Anyone seeking truth genuinely is Vedic.

METHODS OF VEDIC SCIENCE
Look for knowledge within and not through external translation of Mantras Use Mantras to sharpen your mind, enhance thinking process and discover deep essence. Know the purpose of enquiry. Know why you exist. Know your goal. And know how truth brings you closer to your goal.
Agniveer http://agniveer.com
21
CAUTIONS IN VEDIC SCIENCE
Do not try to deliberately twist mantras to suit modern scientic frameworks. Example: Satva/ Raja/ Tama - Electron, Proton, Neutron Example: Atom = Paramanu Practical Science cannot be discovered without experiments Be unbiased. Do not assume anything - even that Vedas are best. Let that be a conclusion. Never ght on denitions. Analyze relationships between denitions.

DO NOT BE TOO SCIENTIFIC!
Know the purpose Know that everything cannot be measurable by available methods Know that nal truth can be known only by omniscient Know that Vedic physical world includes tangible world PLUS emotions PLUS all feelings. So seek more generic laws. Hence the VEDAS!
