The Herds of the Sky & the Milky Way
The Sanskrit word 'gau' or 'go' has long been problematic for western
translators. Gau often is translated as 'cow' only one of its 47 different
meanings. Gau can also mean wealth, nourishing force, rays of the sun, rays
of light, the receptive mind, milk, and the Divine Word. The M.
Monier-Williams Sanskrit to English Dictionary states that 'go' can also
mean 'the herds of the sky.'
The Indian scholars Swami Satya Prakash Saraswati and
Satyakam Vidyalankar say that the Rishi Dîrghatamas "is one of our foremost
astronomers." Several verses in his hymn I.164 "have become proverbial in
connection with some of the highest thoughts of human possession."
Evidence of that Dîrghatamas was immersed in
astronomy is found in his verses describing the heavens. Thus I have
concluded when I read verses with the words cow, calf, milk, etc. that
Dîrghatamas in fact means the vast starry Milky Way, the herds in the sky.
My reasons are first of all, the profound nature of the thought in
Dîrghatamas' hymns simply could not allow for the intrusion of a sweetly
sentimental description of a mother cow licking her baby calf. I can
appreciate anyone admiring the relationship of mother and child, but when
compared to the depth of other verses, it just doesn't fit. Next it is
perfectly reasonable for any creative mind to imagine describing the Milky
Way as the 'herds in the sky' — not only is it poetic and beautiful, but
also visually accurate suggesting continual motion across the night sky.
Egypt's Hathor as the Milky Way
Finally there is a precedent in other ancient cultures for connecting the
stars with cows. For example in ancient Egypt, the goddess Hathor was
depicted as cow-headed. Hathor was originally a "personification of the
Milky Way, which was considered to be the milk that flowed from the udders
of the heavenly cow. As 'Mistress of Heaven' she was associated with [the
goddess] Nut, the personification of the sky and the heavens."
[ancientegyptonline.co.uk] There are beautiful images from Egypt showing the
stars pouring out of the cow and later Nut's body itself depicted as the
heavens above.
There are also connections in word meanings, for example the Sanskrit word
'dhenu' can mean cow or cloud; the word 'godhuk' can mean milk-man or the
deity Âditya who personifies solar rays; savam can mean milk or refer to
Soma, which I say means plasma; the word 'hiñkrinvati' can mean mooing,
bellowing, or thundering as in the sound made within a storm cloud. Thus you
see how one's filter can dictate the definitions chosen. I am not
predisposed by centuries of rituals and assumptions made by respected priest
scholars. I am interpreting through the eyes of the progenitors who
colonized planet earth and would have by necessity possessed highly advanced
technology
—
which is what I have indeed found in many of the verses, not just
Dîrghatamas, but also Vishvamitra and other Rishis. Again, let me say I mean
no disrespect to the great sacred Sanskrit traditions. I believe my devotion
to the texts is shown here on my website. I am simply saying what I see from
my own perspective of one who has experienced visions of the planet Earth's
colonization and seen over 30 UFOs.
Here are my renderings of a few of the verses by Dîrghatamas that elevate
'milk' and 'cow' into the Milky Way:
Rig Veda I.164.26
Savitâ carries Universal Intelligence
The Rishi Dîrghatamas invokes, calls near the ocean of 'milk' that are the
energies flowing spreading out from the galactic core within the Milky Way,
to be extracted skillfully, thus easily yielding the most splendid beautiful
product from Soma [plasma] that Savitâ, the continuous expansion of the
Galactic Cosmic Rays, kindled above for us on earth, igniting heat within a
cavity created in space, and that flows before sound.
Calling near [upa hvaye]
the easy yielding [sudughâm]
this ocean of milk extracting [dhenum]
skillfully [suhasto]
exciting the energies from the Milky Way [godhug]
and extracting [dohad]
thus [enâm]
the most splendid beautiful [shrestha]
Soma product [savam]
Savitâ [the continuous expansion of Galactic Cosmic Rays]
kindled above for us [no abhîddho]
that hence [tad]
igniting heat within a cavity created in space [gharma]
flows before the uttered sound [su-pra-vocam]
"The inner magnetosphere is a natural cavity in which various types of
charged particles are trapped by a planet's intrinsic magnetic field."
[Dynamic Magnetosphere]
"Savitâ carries within itself the Universal Intelligence." [Shyam Ghosh]
Savitâ is the continual expansion of Galactic Cosmic Rays that are generated
within the center of every galaxy, every galactic core. They carry
God-Consciousness, the encoded universal laws, Rta, Satya, Dharma that are
the substratum of all manifestation. Rishi Dîrghatamas is invoking these
energetic particles, which yield easily everything necessary for splendid
life on any planet, from healing bodily forms and plant life, to an expanded
consciousness, enlightenment and Oneness with the Creator, to free energy
such as electricity and advanced technologies.
Savitâ illuminates all regions, the Âkâsha (the medium
of sound), the Antariksha (the atmosphere), and earth (Prithivî).
In Rig Veda I.35.9, Savitâ is said to join with
the rays of Sûrya —not the Sun; in the Rig Veda Sûrya means electromagnetic
rays of light, wave particles. The laws of Savitâ cannot be violated by the
other Âdityas such as Sûrya, Indra, Varuna, Mitra and Rudra. Savitâ is one
of the Âdityas, the forces that 'loosen and free'. The Âdityas are the
offspring of Mother Aditi, which personifies the "boundless unlimited
Space-Time-Intelligence immanent" [S.Ghose] in Prakriti's Nature, the
creative principle and energy force that generates the universe — Shakti
Mâyâ.
Savitâ is described as golden, having gold hands, arms and hair. Savitâ has
shining vast golden hands, repeatedly raising and stretching them to spread
and illuminate the tremendous immeasurable immensity of space. Savitâ is the
expanding spreading bands of illuminating Galactic Cosmic Rays. Rishi
Vâmadeva says that Savitâ "fills (with radiance) the celestial and
terrestrial regions — and puts forth golden arms for (the work of)
production, regulating the world, and animating it with light." [Rig Veda
IV.53.3 - S.S.Gupta]
Rig Veda I.164.27
Thundering bellowing [hiñkrinvati],
soaring [√pat] the electromagnetic reactions [vasu patnî] of the 'bright
ones' [the Ashvins as the power of solar radiance in pairs that is quickly
absorbed and moves at great speed],
thinking of, desiring wealth for its offspring [vatsa],
for great [mahat] prosperity and success [saubhagâya]
that unharmed [plasma] cloud [aghnya] increasing by dividing may grow
[vardhatam],
may yield milk [payo] the fluid semen water [energies pouring into the
earth's magnetopshere as the Galactic Cosmic Rays:
vital spirit power for the [twin] Ashvins.
Rishi Dîrghatamas is describing the complex interactions of particles in the
intersteller medium of interplanetary space that travel from the Galactic
Core, the Sun and planets to nourish our Earth. Our Earth's magnetosphere
needs this Soma plasma, metaphorical 'milk' from the various parts of the
Milky Way to feed her magnetically, keep her vital and alive.
"The magnetospheric activity and dynamics require power that is
extracted in the interaction between the magnetosphere and the solar wind."
[Dynamic Magnetosphere]
This 'milk' is comparable to semen for our planet, the 'she' who possesses
the twin Ashvins, the twin polarities that enliven our heliosphere via the
various Galactic Cosmic Rays, GCRs the high energy background population
incident upon the heliosphere uniformly and isotropically
—
while in the inner heliosphere, the galactic cosmic radiation is modulated
by solar activity; Solar Energetic Particles, SEPs accelerated in solar
flares; Energetic Storm Particles, ESPs particles accelerated at
interplanetary shocks; and Corotating Interaction Regions, CIRs. [Space
Physics/MB
Kallenrode].
Rig Veda I.164.28
Rishi Dîrghatamas says that prevailing over
everything, plasma clouds are — although silent to our human ears, violent
roaring shriek sound — sound that permeates the offspring, the forms created
in the heliosphere and beyond. He compares the electric universe mechanism
to the blinking of the eyes, an on-off switch.
Above everything [mûrdhânam], [plasma] clouds [gau] measure out silent
roaring sound [amîmed]
towards and through [anu] the offspring [vatsam - created forms in the
heliosphere]
as [in comparison to] the eyes close and open [mishantam, an on-off
mechanism]
atmospheric sound [hinn] that impels injures [other particles changing them]
arranges, measures out, forms and builds [mâtavâ] makes [akrinon]
sound roaring resounding [vâvashânâ]
measures across, traverses [mimâti]
into [abhi] the cauldron heat of the suns rays [gharma - radiation],
in the corners of the mouth [srikvânam - the inarticulate sound particles as
spear-like points in the solar wind],
yielding semen strength power, the 'milk' [payobhih - the energies in the
Milky Way] the subtle soft fluid [payate] sound [mâyum].
This atmospheric sound [hinn] impels and injures other particles in the
interstellar medium, changing them, as it arranges, measures out, makes
forms and builds. The
sound roaring, resounding
measures across, traverses into the cauldron heat of the suns rays. The
inarticulate particles of sound are symbolically in the corners of the mouth
as spear-like points in the solar wind that are
yielding semen strength and power, the 'milk' abundance of energies within
the Milky Way
—
and these rays of light, plasma, and particle waves are the subtle soft
fluid sound in the interstellar medium to become absorbed.
Here we find a description of the ubiquitous complexities of Cosmic Rays,
which are of two types: the Galactic Cosmic Rays, GCRs high energy particles
originating outside the solar system, and Solar Energetic Particles, SEPs
emitted by the Sun. Galactic Cosmic Rays may originate within or outside the
galaxy, thus the energies that come into our heliosphere are from our Sun,
the Heart of the Milky Way and beyond. What our eyes may perceive as empty
sky space is more a crowded densely packed shooting gallery for trillions of
highly charged energetic particles, waveforms, and rays - a vast pulsating
ocean in the space.
The Rivers of Heaven: Plasma waves can be converted into sound waves
Plasma waves and sound waves are both waveforms and it is possible to
convert one into the other and vice versa. There are literally endless
rivers of energy being funneled transmitted through and around our planet.
In the Rig Veda they are called the Rivers of Heaven and they are described
as being 'churned' by the learned seers: "You are rubbed to life."
[III.29.12]
There is a similarity between plasma and sound. Plasma and sound
can be interchangeable. Plasma is the most abundant material in the
universe.
A large variety of waves exist in plasma [Space Physics/MB
Kallenrode].
Sound waves & plasma transport momentum
Magneto-Sonic Waves: A magneto-sonic wave is similar to a sound wave: it is
a longitudinal wave parallel to the magnetic field with alternating regions
of compression and rarefaction (rarefied/lessening of density) in both the
plasma and in the magnetic field.
Ion-Acoustic Waves: Sound waves are pressure waves. They transport momentum
from one layer to the next due to collisions between molecules and atoms.
Despite its often low-density, in a plasma a similar phenomenon exists.
Space is not silent
We think of sound only as what we can perceive through the human ear, one of
the five senses; however the Sanskrit teachings have long taught the concept
of another kind of sound, the 'un-struck' sound. In September of 2013 space
physicist Don Gurnett stated at a NASA press conference that he had heard
"the sounds of intersteller space." These were the sounds generated by
plasma waves, which contradicted the long held notion that there is no sound
in space because without air sound cannot exist.
The 'Gau' Particle & the Sacred Cow
Dr. Raja R.M. Roy says that the Sanskrit word 'gau' cannot be confused with
the animal cow and opines that there is a 'Gau particle' in Vedic cosmology.
"The expansion of the universe is not a smooth affair...creation takes place
at the surface of the universe...given the name mountain by the Vedic sages.
Gau particles, along with other particles, are produced at the surface of
the universe. ...As Gau particles are charged particles...they produce
electric force, Indra, and contribute to the expansion of the universe." Dr.
Roy says that when the Rishis ask for wealth and cows, they are not asking
for personal wealth, "but they are asking for space, matter and energy in a
universe without it, so that one day we human beings could exist."
The current modern-era science of astrophysics would never comprehend the
concept that the highly energetic particle-waveforms coming to planet Earth
through the interstellar medium are effulgent with consciousness. Bound by
five-sense perception, they have not evolved the capacity to understand that
indeed everything is consciousness, God-Consciousness.
The Heart of our Galaxy
Dr. Paul LaViolette: "A very compact, highly luminous unresolved radio
source designated as Sagittarius A-star (Sgr A*) lies at the exact center of
our Milky Way Galaxy. ...Astronomers are convinced that Sagittarius A* is a
single body. It is estimated to be about a million times as massive as the
Sun, making it the most massive celestial object in the Galaxy." A fierce
wind of cosmic ray electrons and protons is said to generated by a
relatively small region in Sgr A*. These winds are rushing outward at speeds
close to the speed of light and their "particles emit electromagnetic
radiation ranging from low frequency radio emission to high energy gamma ray
emission."
LaViolette questions the theory of a black hole being at the center of our
galaxy and reports that "all evidence to date suggests that gas is not being
drawn toward the Galactic center but is being pushed away, outward. He says
that the ancients did not see the Heart of our galaxy as a region of
annihilation, but "as one of matter and energy creation, a cosmic wellspring
giving birth to all the matter in the Galaxy."
A
new study reveals that Sgr A* has been producing one bright X-ray flare
about every 10 days. However, within the past year, there has been a
ten-fold increase in the rate of bright flares from Sgr A*, at about one
every day. This increase happened soon after the close approach to Sgr A* by
a mysterious object called G2.

Rig Veda I.164.29
The stars in the Milky Way, by this silent sound moving, it thundering
scattered cries, softly regulated responding sound, that is covered over;
resting above it, falling to dust, sprinkles below indeed making mortal man
who must die, shine forth with reflection, consciously, becoming, toward a
concealed place, the covered sound beaten, revealed.
ayam sa - this it
shimkte - move by inarticulate sound
gaur - the stars as herds in the sky
abhîvrita - covered over
mimâti - thundering scatters cries
mâyum - softly, regulated responding sound
dhvasanâv - sprinkles, falling to dust
adhi shritâ - resting above
sa - it
cittibhir - with reflection, consciously
ni hi - below indeed
cakâra - created, making
martyam - to mortal, man, what must die, earth
vidhut - to flash forth, shine brightly, shine forth; a flashing thunderbolt
(the weapon of the Maruts); lightning
bhavantî - becoming
prati - toward, counter, each
vavrim - a lurking (concealed) place; a cover, vesture
auhata - revealed [au = sound; hata = struck, beaten, smitten, killed,
slain]
Silent sound wave-particle emissions from the Galactic Heart Core are filled
with God-Consciousness. Potencies of milky-virile-semen as Wisdom-Knowledge,
the silent particles of sound are perpetually, continually in an everlasting
timeless eternity sprayed forth, in violence, forced outward in profusions
shining glittering, sprinklings of wave particles throughout the galaxies
into our heliosphere. Those who within the concealed place, the Heart, hear
the sound, the silent sound revealed — they Become. The Galactic Cosmic Rays
are eternally offering us universal God-Consciousness.
