The Vedas represent deep knowledge coded in hymns and songs. They mirror quantum physics by demonstrating that reality has many layers.
It was a cherished Saturday morning ritual for my late father to play MS Subbulaxmi’s Suprabhatam and Bhaja Govindam. Before the stirring renditions began, we were treated to a profound introduction by C Rajagopalchari. It was a succinct summary of Vedanta philosophy and quantum physics:
“Adi Shankaracharya wrote a number of Vedantic works for imparting knowledge of the Self and the Universal Spirit. He also composed a number of hymns to foster Bhakti in the hearts of men.
One of these hymns is the famous Bhaja Govindam. The way of devotion is not different from the way of knowledge or Jnana.
When intelligence matures and lodges securely in the mind, it becomes wisdom. When wisdom is integrated with life and issues out in action, it becomes Bhakti.
Knowledge, when it becomes fully mature is Bhakti. If it does not get transformed into Bhakti, such knowledge is useless tinsel. To believe that Jnana and Bhakti, knowledge and devotion are different from each other, is ignorance. If Sri Adi Shankara himself who drank the ocean of Jnana as easily as one sips water from the palm of one’s hand, sang in his later years, hymns to develop devotion, it is enough to show that Jnana and Bhakti are one and the same.”
Coded knowledge of the Vedas
Adi Shankaracharya’s Advaita Vedanta philosophy underpins modern quantum mechanics. ‘Advaita’ translates into ‘non-duality’. It holds that mere observations are illusions (Maya). That the self (atman) is no different from the ultimate truth (Brahman). In simple words, everything/everyone; matter/energy are linked as parts of a cosmic whole – though they may appear distinct when viewed through the prism of Maya.
Once one reaches the heart of this incredible coded knowledge of the vedas, it all becomes intuitively clear.
It’s no wonder that Schrodinger, Heisenberg, Tesla and Oppenheimer were devout students of the Vedas.
