On blogging an article from Parade on Dark Energy, and soon after reading Is Dark Matter the Formless Brahmn?, I came across a couple of interesting slokas, verses 4 and 5 in Chapter 7 (Jnana Vignana Yoga) of Bhagavad Gita (see below, Telugu version). Are these slokas referring to antimatter? I don't jump to conclusions easily in topics of this nature, but I thought it was pretty intriguing.
Pl. see below for the same slokas from a copy of condensed భగవద్గీత (different publisher) gifted to me by my మామయ్య on November17, 1990.
Thanks, Gopa; nice to see all that తెలుగు as well as that BG site.
ReplyDeleteChecked my copy of the BG, the translation by Barbara Stoler Miller, and this is what it says:: (verses 4-5 in Chapter 7)
~~~~~
My nature has eight aspects:
earth, water, fire, wind, space,
mind, understanding,
and individuality.
This is my lower nature;
know my higher nature too,
the life-force
that sustains this universe.

Quite interesting.
Thanks for the link and explanation Raama. I liked those "para" and "apara" prakriti terms.
