Quantum Ramayana and the Yoga Vasishta at the time of COVID 19

— By Dr KK Aggarwal

I was asked to give evidences for my statement on Yoga Vasishta and the power of collective consciousness. Yoga Vasishta is a sacred book of Treta Yuga while Bhagavad Gita is of Dvapara Yuga.

In Nirvana Prakaran chapter, 6 in the story of Caudala and Shikhardwaja, Sage Vasishta described the power of collective consciousness.

चेतनाचेतनं भूतजातं व्योम तथाखिलम् ।
सर्वं चिन्मात्रसन्मात्रं शून्यमात्रं यथा नभः ॥
cetanācetanaṃ bhūtajātaṃ vyoma tathākhilam |
sarvaṃ cinmātrasanmātraṃ śūnyamātraṃ yathā nabhaḥ || 6.80. 54 ||

Individual consciousness adds to the collective consciousness through chitta, truthfulness the unmanifest.

Verse 6.80.57
स्वसत्तामात्रकेणैव संकल्पलवरूपिणा ।
पञ्चकानि व्रजन्तीह देहत्वं तानि कानिचित् ॥ ५७ ॥
svasattāmātrakeṇaiva saṃkalpalavarūpiṇā |
pañcakāni vrajantīha dehatvaṃ tāni kānicit || 57 ||

Five percent of the society meditating with a common intention guide the destiny of the population

Verse 6.80.59

एवं हि पञ्चकस्पन्दमात्रं जगदिति स्थितम् ।
चित्संविदत्र सर्वत्र विद्यते रघुनन्दन ॥ ५९ ॥
evaṃ hi pañcakaspandamātraṃ jagaditi sthitam |
citsaṃvidatra sarvatra vidyate raghunandana || 59 ||

5% of the society in a state of unison leads to merger of the microcosm with the macrocosm
Verse 6.80.60

केवलं पञ्चकवशाद्देहादौ चेतनाभिधा ।
जडस्पन्दाभिधा क्वापि स्थावरादौ जडाभिधा ॥ ६० ॥
kevalaṃ pañcakavaśāddehādau cetanābhidhā |
jaḍaspandābhidhā kvāpi sthāvarādau jaḍābhidhā || 60 ||

Only 5% of the collective consciousness can bring a change in the body. This is want I meant that if 5% of the society have a common intention and in a state of parasympathetic mode even the effect can be seen ion the physical bodies.

Verse 6.80.65
गृहीतवासनांशानां पुष्टाभावविकारिणाम् ।
स्थितयः पञ्चकानां हि योज्याः पर्यनुयोजने ॥ ६५ ॥
gṛhītavāsanāṃśānāṃ puṣṭābhāvavikāriṇām |
sthitayaḥ pañcakānāṃ hi yojyāḥ paryanuyojane || 65 ||

5% of the societies effect however will vary with the sympathetic state of the mind of the society. Even the society is in a disturbed state of mind this effect will not be seen. Parasympathetic state of mind means a time when you loose track of time.

Verse 6.80.66
वासनास्तु विपर्यस्ता इतो नेतुमितश्च ताः ।
पुंसा प्राज्ञेन शक्यन्ते सुखं पर्यनुयोजितुम् ॥ ६६ ॥
vāsanāstu viparyastā ito netumitaśca tāḥ |
puṃsā prājñena śakyante sukhaṃ paryanuyojitum || 66 ||

Regularity of practice is the most important. Its not a one time effect.

Part 2

In 1960, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi predicted that one percent of a population practicing the Meditation technique would produce measurable improvements in the quality of life for the whole population. This phenomenon was first noticed in 1974 and reported in a paper published in 1976.

Aditi Snhrivastave in Speaking tree wrote “ To everyone’s surprise, a coherent influence was observed and it was verified by sophisticated modern science techniques — that by creating large groups of people practising TM, TM-Siddhi programme and Yogic Flying collectively in one place, one can raise the collective consciousness of society.

This phenomenon was termed The Maharishi Effect. ‘Maharishi’, means the great knower of pure knowledge, and in the presence of this pure knowledge, positivity thrives, removing negative tendencies.

Part 3
The universe is nothing but un-manifest, manifesting itself by an intent, in the elementary form of strings, waves or a quantum field getting converted or manifesting into matter in the quantum field following the principles of quantum mechanics in ten dimensions.

The physical body (Bhai Karan) is made up of Tanmatras and five basic elements. It has the five Karmendriyas. The sukshma Sharira has the Gnanendriyas and the anthar Karan (mind, intellect, ego and chitta of pure intelligence). Karan sharira is the soul. Karan sharira is the unmanifest, omnipotent, omniscient and omni present.

In terms of quantum mechanics sukshma sharira and Karan sharira after the physical body ends (fermions and bosons) merges into wave particle duality, then the wave, then quantum filed and ultimately to the strings (present in 10 dimensions). As per the theory of everything the strings are the subtlest of the subtle in the body.

In Yoga Vasishta (3.27) in the story of Karkati, when she asks the boon of becoming subtlest of the subtle, she became Suchika and Visuchika (needle and mobile needle). Which means strings in quantum filed. [3.35: the demoness became smaller and smaller, of the size of a grain (fermion) and then of the size of a needle)

In Kena Upanishad (3.6, 3.10), when the Brahman (GOD) asked Agni and Vayu Devta to burn or move the straw / dried grass like a thread they could not burn it or move it. This again means the string state of the Sukshma sharira.

In Bhagavad Gita the description of filed comes in the very first shloka ion the form of ksetre which means the field: dhṛtarāṣṭra uvāca; dharma-kṣetre kuru-kṣetre; samavetā yuyutsavaḥ; māmakāḥ pāṇḍavāś caiva; kim akurvata sañjaya

In Quantum Ramayana, the path is to shift one’s awareness from particle awareness to wave particle duality awareness, to the wave awareness, to quantum field awareness, to the string awareness and ultimately to the un-manifest void. This was well described by Yoga Vasishta in the story of demon Karkati, showing her transformation into sukshma sharira and finally to karan sharira based on penance[A1] .

The path of Quantum Consciousness is based on the concept that at the quantum field level all things are interrelated and can affect each other at speeds greater than the speed of light.

Quantum principles observer effect; discontinuity; Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen effect that everything is related to everything else; non-local domain of existence; quantum leap and Heisenberg principle of uncertainty can explain all the siddhi powers described in Yoga Vasishta and enjoyed by Sapta Rishis.

Quantum entanglement describes the phenomenon where two particles which interact with each other can remain connected, instantaneously sharing their physical states no matter how far apart they are.

Chandogya Upanishad talks about the void, shunya por un-manifest (Chapter XII — the Birth of the Gross from the Subtle). Rumi has a famous poem on this subject “we came whirling out of nothingness scattering stars like dust, the stars made a circle and in the middle we dance. The wheel of heaven, with all its pomp and splendour, circles around God like a mill.”

Illusion of continuity: The whole universe looks like made up of matter but is nothing but void with un-manifest quantum field or Par Brahman as the base. Also, everything which looks like a continuity has discontinuity. A running movie has no continuity; it is only a rapid sequential screening of still frames. (In Ramayana it is well described under the story of Lila in Yoga Vasishta)

Thoughts have no continuity; the space between the thoughts is the reality. In this discontinuity (between the thoughts) lies the consciousness with infinite possibilities and capability of instantaneous interconnectedness, synchronicity, uncertainty and quantum leap.

Every elementary particle in the body looks stationary but has a spinning base.

EPR effect: Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky, and Nathan Rosen said that non-local interactions between objects had to exist. It means everything is inter-connected irrespective of distance and time. This connection is instantaneous.

Quantum leap: Now here, now there in between nowhere. A quantum leap is a leap from A to B, without passing through any of the points between A and B. (In Ramayana these illusionary Mayavi powers were shown to be with Meghnad)

Normally, there needs to be a change in temperature in order to see a phase transition from liquid to gas or solid. But there are some phase transitions in which the temperature cannot change, because they occur right at absolute zero (- 273.15 C).

Quantum physics states that it is impossible for a particle to be fully at rest in a specific location. Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle tells us that position and momentum cannot be ascertained with total precision at the same time. Therefore, a particle’s position and momentum can still change at absolute zero, even if classic thermal fluctuations are no longer present. These changes are known as quantum fluctuations. It further proves that consciousness is present in energised information state in the universe at whatever temperature the universe may be.

So, when it is too cold for classic shaking movements, quantum physics ensures that physically interesting things can still happen. It solves the mystery about the k8consciousness, that air cannot dry it, water cannot wet it, fire cannot burn it or cold cannot freeze it.

A consequence of the Quantum Mechanical nature of the world is that the particles can appear in places where they have no right to be. All these can be called quantum siddhi powers.
