What is Veda – वेद क्या है? Know from modern physics view

दासोऽहमिति मे बुद्धिः ददस्व दासवत्सलः ।
“दा”कार अवखण्डय दासमात्मीकुरुष्व ।

(Oh Savior of servitors – दासवत्सलः ! Please give me the sense of being a Servitor – Daasoham – दासोऽहम्. Then remove the Daa – दा from it (दासोऽहम्), so that it leaves only सोऽहम् – Thou art me. Thereby I become a part of Thou.)

Veda is not the four printed volumes of that name. They are not related to any specific religion. It is the universal book of knowledge of mankind from which all science can be derived. By knowledge – ज्ञानम् is meant the perception of commonalities (called SAADHARMYA – साधर्म्य) of everything in the universe (कस्मिन्नु भगवो विज्ञाते सर्वमिदं विज्ञातं भवतीति – what is that knowledge by knowing which, everything becomes known) – to determine the common cause of everything (like the protons and electrons – देवाः – to quark-gluon plasma and beyond -प्रकृतिलयाः – and who or what created these and how, and how do they combine). For example the statement “Everything is verily Brahman – सर्वं खल्विदं ब्रह्म – छान्दोग्य उपनिषदत्”, which sees BRAHMAN in everything as the common constituent, is knowledge. Here the word BRAHMAN is neither a philosophical nor a metaphysical concept as is generally understood, but it is a scientific concept, as will be described later. By science – विज्ञानम् is meant the differentiating characteristics (called VAIDHARMYA – वैधर्म्य) of everything in the universe (the mechanism of how they evolved, for example from the quark-gluon plasma to the present material universe with its various combinations). The statement “BRAHMAN became everything – ब्रह्मैवेदं सर्वम् – नरसिंह उपपुराण”, which sees the evolution of one commonality – BRAHMAN – into everything (like starting from quark-gluon plasma – अग्निसोमात्मक जगत् – to protons, neutrons and electrons to atoms and molecules to their various combinations that create everything) is science.

Since Vedas are universal, the science derived from the Vedas are also universal. But modern science, which developed incrementally, is reductionist. Quantum Theory is not one coherent theory, but several unconnected and at times contradictory theories, approaches and interpretations – many without physical proof. Modern science treats strong-nuclear interaction, weak-nuclear interaction, electromagnetic interaction and gravitational interaction as the four fundamental interactions (सम्बन्ध). Here, while the first three are intra-body interactions, the last one – gravity – is interbody interaction – hence belongs to a different class. The scientists have combined the middle two in electroweak theory and are now searching for an elusive grand unified theory (GUT).

Vedic science takes the opposite route based on the charged nature of everything (सामर्थ्य सर्वभावानां लिङ्गमित्यभिधीयते). While the Standard Model uses “gauge bosons” that mediate different interactions, Vedic science uses the nature of the constituents (उपादानविकल्पाः) – nature of negative and positive charges (confining proximally and radiating out or distancing – संस्त्यानप्रसवौ लिङ्गौ) which appear as the “gauge bosons” of SM. It starts with gravitational interaction (उद्याम सम्बन्ध – interbody interaction of everything including parts within the body or particle) as the all-pervading mother of all interactions, which symmetrically (proximity-proximity variable, proximity-distance variable, distance-proximity variable, and distance-distance variable) resolves into strong nuclear interaction (अन्तर्याम सम्बन्ध), beta-decay part of weak nuclear interaction (वहिर्याम सम्बन्ध), electromagnetic interaction (उपयाम सम्बन्ध) and alpha decay (यातयाम सम्बन्ध). Similarly, relativity (आपेक्षिकत्व) is treated as wrong description (जातिसाङ्कर्य) of reality (प्रशस्तपादकृत पदार्थधर्मसंग्रह). It is apparent to the observer – not real to the participant. Superposition (अध्यास), like Uncertainty (अविद्या), is due to our inability to know beyond certain point. Entanglement (सूत्रवायु and अलातस्पन्दन) and Symmetry (यथादर्शे) have also different connotations.

Five meanings of the word Veda – वेद के पाञ्च अर्थ

The infinite Vedas – अनन्ता वै वेदाः

The RIGVEDA deals with structures. Structures have infinite varieties. YAJURVEDA deals with motion. Motion requires a force to displace something from an initial state. The same force acting on a body can reveal itself variously in 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 or 122 different ways by various permutations and combinations. These are called different forces that induce different types of motion. However, since displacements are related to bodies, and since bodies are infinite in number, their motions are also infinite. Radiations come out of bodies. These are also confined in the background (space is the universal background). Though the radiations can be classified into 1000 categories (सहस्रांशु), their absorption into or emission from different backgrounds makes these radiations infinite. Since these three aspects are called RHK, YAJUSH, SAAMAN (ऋक्-यज्जुः-साम) respectively, they are also infinite. For this reason, the Vedas are also treated as infinite (अनन्ता वै वेदाः । एतद्वा एतैस्त्रिभिरायुर्भिरन्ववोचथाः । अथ त इतरदननूक्तमेव । एहीमं विद्धि । अयं वै सर्वविद्येति – तैत्तिरीयब्राह्मणम् 3-10-11). Thus, the only way to understand the nature of the universe is to know the fundamental principles (तस्मै हैतमग्निँ सावित्रमुवाच – तत्रैव) relating to these three aspects (एषो एव त्रयी विद्या – तत्रैव). Here ATHARVAN VEDA is not considered, as it is related to the opposite effect of confinement into structures.
