A Vast Magnetic Tunnel.

The latest scientific discoveries often justify and reaffirm my interpretation of the truths that I often relate to the ancient Vedika texts.

The Atharva SheerShaM is one such text that is rendition of beautiful mantras from the  Rigveda and other 3 Veda as well. 

As the Veda is described as the truth eternal, and not written by a human, but at the same time is revealed to sages again and again in different times. 

There isn't and couldn't be a chronology to Veda and we can't think or say which one is the farmer and which one is the later.

As Gita also points out, there are only 3 Veda, namely Rigveda, SAmaveda and Yajurveda. 

It often creates a doubt, if the Atharva Veda is a text compiled by choosing the relevant mantras from these 3 main Veda, later on.

Going through the 5 AtharvaSheerSha, one can find out how AtharvaSheerSha relates the other 3 Veda and has a purpose to help man in quite a different manner.

I'm reminded frequently of this fact while performing a routine "pATha" every-day.

"Is our Solar system surrounded by a vast magnetic belt / ring?"

That is what now the latest science is trying to find out.

"And if yes, what is possibly the purpose?"

I can see and relate to also the same truth in Shiva-Atharva SheerShaM, para 6 :

योऽग्नौ रुद्रो योऽप्स्वन्तर्य ओषधीर्वीरुध आविवेश ।

य इमा विश्वा भुवनानि चक्लृपे तस्मै रुद्राय नमोऽस्त्वग्नये ।

यो रुद्रोऽग्नौ यो रुद्रोऽप्स्वन्तर्यो रुद्र ओषधीर्वीरुध आविवेश । 

यो रुद्र इमा विश्वा भुवनानि चक्लृपे तस्मै रुद्राय वै नमो नमः । 

यो रुद्रोऽप्सु यो रुद्र ओषधीषु यो रुद्रो वनस्पतिषु  ।

येन रुद्रेण जगदूर्ध्वं धारितं पृथिवी द्विधा त्रिधा धर्ता धारिता नागा ये अन्तरिक्षे तस्मै रुद्राय वै नमो नमः।।

To understand better let us refer to para 2 of the same text where devatA extoll Rudra and say :

यो वै रुद्रः स भगवान् यश्च सोमस्तस्मै वै नमो नमः।।।८।।

Here we need to understand how in the Gita, chapter 15, Lord Sri-Krishna has pointed out in the stanza 13 and 14, in the first person :

गामाविश्य च भूतानि धारयाम्यहमोजसा ।

पुष्णामि चौषधीः सर्वाः सोमो भूत्वा रसात्मकः ।।१३।।

अहं वैश्वानरो भूत्वा प्राणिनां देहमाश्रितः ।

प्राणापानसमायुक्तः पचाम्यन्न चतुर्विधम् ।।१४।।

Once we should also cross-check how He, or the Lord Sri-Krishna has described Himself in the chapter 10 :

वेदानां सामवेदोऽस्मि देवानामस्मि वासवः ।

इन्द्रियणां मनश्चास्मि भूतानामस्मि चेतना ।।२२।।

And, in the chapter 13 :

इच्छा द्वेषः सुखं दुःखं सङ्घातश्चेतना धृतिः।

एतत्क्षेत्रं समासेन सविकामुदाहृतम् ।।६।।

This indicates that Rudra as Lord Supreme is a चैतन्य or a Conscious Principle.

Of course, the latest discoveries in Science may look a bit difficult to grasp, but as soon as we find out the same narrated, pointed- out and referred to in our Vedika texts, in a far more better way, we are winder-struck at the wisdom of the sages and the Rishis of the ancient times.
