Let's make a MEGA THREAD on BRAHMARANYAK UPANISHAD.
(Just started reading it)

Warning: This upanishad is like a Rose with thorns.
It contains countless gems of knowledge and philosophy. But, it is highly adulterated with creativity skills of Britishers.
Chapter 1 has 6 sections.

Pick the ODD one out-
S 1 Horse sacrifice
S 2 Origin of Universe
S 3 Vital life forces
S 4 Theory of Creation
S 5 Universe and its Elements
S 6 Perception of Reality

.
Wth is a Kaala Jaadu ritual doing in a cluster of metaphysical knowledge? 😂
Also, the section 1 has drastically different poetic scheme than other sections.

The section 1 only has 2 verses while other sections have multiple verses. (This doesn't surprise me as the evil writers were not competent enough against our ancient Maharishis.)
Section 1 believes that allegorically, universe has originated out of sperms of Horse.
Crap.

HINDUISM NEVER BELIEVED IN EXISTENCE OF THE MASCULINE WITHOUT FEMININE - SHIVA WITHOUT SHAKTI.

Btw,
Christians were the ones who believed that Eve came out of Adam's Ribs.
Section 1-
Verse 1-
Earlier there was nothingness. Nothingness = death.

This gave birth to 'hunger' or 'sense of lack'.

The question arose- who is feeling this hunger? Who!!!

The answer was 'I' 'मैं'
The entity of death became proud of itself because it gave origin to something.

Death realized that if it could magnify the existence of 'i' ; it would magnify it's own existence.

Death wanted to give 'joy' to 'i'.
That's why, it took up water to create a whole universe.
Here is the SCIENCE -

Water = hydrogen and oxygen

HYDROGEN BEING THE SMALLEST ATOM IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE ORIGINATOR OF UNIVERSE ACCORDING TO BIG BANG THEORY.
Death, in a way, became servant of 'i'
Hence FROM PERSPECTIVE OF DEATH, MATERIALISTIC VIRTUES ARE WORSHIP.

Hence, humans must understand that ESSENCE OF WORSHIP FOR LIVING BEINGS IS JOY THAT COMES FROM WITHIN US.
Can you see how beautifully science and poetry is being culminated here. That's what Vedas are all about.

Now, I want honest opinion of my readers here. Did you guys understand what I wrote so far

शुभ रात्रि 🙏

I just now unprotected it because spreading knowledge is punya 🙏
People voting for 'no' and 'somewhat' can shoot DMs :-)
.
Additional points upon yesterday's queries-

At STARTING OF BIG BANG, whole of the matter was condensed, held tightly at one place.

Today, as you sit in comfort of your bedroom, there is 'gap' between ur head & ur phone
Earlier, this GAP did NOT EXIST.
WHOLE UNIVERSE WAS EQUAL TO SIZE OF A LEMON.
.
Here,

SHIVA= consciousness or awareness or stationary property of atoms

SHAKTI= dynamic properties of atoms like movement, condensation, expansion
We are done with chapter 1 section 2 verse 1 👍
.

1.2.2
First line says 'Water is worship' - for as we know, matter existed before as well.
It was courtesy of hydrogen that atoms started having seperate identity.
Froth came on top of water and solidified to become Prithvi.
.
THE BIGGEST MISCONCEPTION ABOUT PRITHVI- Prithvi is Not globe.

Only the landmass above sea level is called Prithvi.
Sometimes we see 'froth' over our tap water too. This froth is nothing but organic matter from earth's crust.

Then, he (Death or Hunger) was tired. Out of the heat of that fatigue, the essence of heat came forth – that was fire.
That is how, the inner core of earth- a burning, fire like mass of molten metals -was established.

Earth in this state was ready to harbour a few microscopic organisms.
Here is the REVOLUTIONARY SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT by Miller and Urey.

Oceans contain gases under huge pressure
⏬
Inorganic substances can combine BY THEMSELVES to form Organic substances
⏬
Amino acids can be obtained which can form GENETIC MATERIAL
Death divided itself into 3 parts-
Sun
Air
Prana
FOR
Phototrophic organisms
Bacterias living in shady areas, but requiring oxygen
Bacterias needing both oxygen and sunlight
Further,
"His head was in the east, his arms there and there.
His hind part was in the west, his hip bones there and there.
His sides are the north and south, his back is heaven, his belly is the sky, his chest is the earth"
His = Death
Head in East and Hind in West means refers to direction of apparent movement of Sun (east to west)

Prana is subtle energy of sun staying in us in form of breath.
Hence, Prithvi, in form of chest RECIEVES prana.

Abdomen as sky is acting as MEDIUM to transport Prana.
I am sorry but I really can't explain the orientation of heaven as it is a 4d model.
I can't give you any link either because neither the current Hindu scholars, nor the Muslims have understood it either.
.
I will open a YouTube channel soon. I promise I will explain it there.
The last line of 1.2.2 -
Whosoever has this knowledge,will stay established right where he is.
.
No, unlike modern aartis, Vedas don't exchange रिधी सिद्धी सुख सम्पत्ति यश मोक्ष मुक्ति

No, the AARTIS WERE NOT WRITTEN BY ANCIET RISHIS!
THEY WERE WRITTEN BY POETS 100-200 YEAR AGO
The verse given above right there gives DHARMA FOR UNICELLULAR ORGANISMS - a right to stay bound to earth - contrary to dharma of humans who have right to seek Moksha.

Contrary to Abrahmic religion, SANATAN DHARMA DOES NOT HAVE 'PERIOD OF IGNORANCE' - it exist eternally.
Death realised that its own body was not enough. He needed a 2nd body.

Death did union of Sacred knowledge with mind.

The Concept of time, day-night cycle was born.

The newborn time cried and gave birth to Speech.

(Confusing, right? That's why, Vedas are read under Guru)
EACH VERSE OF THIS SECTION REPRESENTS 1 CRORE YEARS.

Sun was formed 5 billion years ago.
Moon was formed 4.5 b years ago.

In this 0.5 million years gap-

A day lasted for 6 hours

At night, no one had no idea how much more earth has to rotate till sunrise

Seasons didn't exist
After origin of Moon, the concept of time came into play.

Also, the earth got its characteristic 7.83 frequency SOUND WAVE (the cry of newborn as Speech)

Today , whole science agrees that EARTH THRIVES AT 7.83 HZ FREQUENCY THAT IS FREQUENCY OF 'OM'
Read this for additional knowledge about 'Om' https://twitter.com/Questperfection/status/1106442633969364993
1.2.5 simple verse-

Through the speech and mind created, he created everything there is – the Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda, the metres, the sacrifices, the people and animals. Whatever he created, he consumed all that. The one that eats (atti), he is (iti) ‘Aditi’ - Abundant.
At the end of 1.2, Britishers reinserted their creativity.

They said that Death's hunger increased. It did fierce worship to please God. The worship was so hard that it died.

So, the Death converted it's Own Dead body into a horse.

Wait, what?
The horse was allowed to run free for one year.

After one year, Death sacrificed the Horse that is his Own body for his Own self.

The verse ends with two conclusions. (real vedic verses NEVER spoonfeed a conclusion btw)
1. Sacrifice and worship are nothing but ONE GOD, I.E. DEATH

2. The one who knows this, GAINS VICTORY OVER DEATH

Wth?

Guys, I just achieved victory over my god!!

Also, I won't die now. Never. Yayyy!!!
1.2 is over.

The conclusion from real verses is supplementary to Geeta.

WHATEVER IS AROUND US IS BEAUTIFUL INDEED. WE MUST APPRECIATE IT.

HOWEVER, EVERYTHING DIES, EVEN THE VEDAS.

LOVING A MATERIALISTIC ENTITY IS LIKE LOVING DEATH.

Also,
BRITISHERS WERE IDIOTS.
Brihadaranyak Upanishad is the tenth upanishad.

It has numerical attachment to number 10.

Number 0 represents nirgun Brahmã

1 represents Sagun Brahmã

Hence this book is an important conjunction between the two.
This is Section 2 verse 1. Apologies 🙏 https://twitter.com/Questperfection/status/1139202566112202752?s=19
Conventional wisdom says that inner core should have been formed before prithvi.

But Brihadaranyak Upanishad and science disagrees.

Earth's age = 4.5 billion years

Inner core's age = about 1 billion years
A new scientific outlook states that inner core is barely 565 million year old.

That would mean, formation of inner core coincides with genesis of Ediacaran fauna - the first animal species of earth.

Splitting of death = birth of life https://twitter.com/Questperfection/status/1139431204090867714?s=19
Similarly, the conventional terrestial plants - like the ones we see today originated 500 million years ago.
Ediacaran animals were immobile https://twitter.com/Questperfection/status/1139448074655240192?s=19
Alternatively this could be a reference to cooling and heating post big bang https://twitter.com/Questperfection/status/1139347942702080000?s=19
1.3.1-8 are pretty light hearted.

Devatas and Asuras fight to establish universe's frequency.

Devatas establish it in all sense organs. Om gives the materialistic pleasure to devas but spiritual to 'self'. Self is pierced each time by Asuras and Devatas lose.
Finally the Devatas establish it in Prana.

As soon as Asuras try to pierce it,

"But just as a clod of earth is shattered when it strikes a rock, so the Asuras were shattered, flung in all directions, and were destroyed."

Devatas become overwhelmed
Devatas ask "Who is the deity who did this?"

The deity is called दूर - Yes thats the name.

It carried death दूर from Devatas and put it where all directions come to an end.

This refers to relation of prana nd death + collapse of universe upon overexpansion
1.3.10-16 are very powerful.

In them, दूर carries organs of senses beyond reach of death i.e. beyond 3 dimension (trance of mantras)

Mouth becomes fire
Ears become directions
Eyes become sun
Nose become air
Mind became moon

Whosoever knows this is दूर from death ♥️
Rest of 1.3 talks about how prana feeds the deities of these sense organs, in form of lord of rig and atharvaveda + how it is sam or सम in all animals and whole universe.

Pranic mantra chants are given. By chanting them anyone can win anything but,
Here comes 1.4

1.4.1 is a must read for every hindu.

Notes -

A. In 'i am he' , 'he' means the supreme god.

B. Basically, a soul which had got Moksha realised that it was the only thing that was there.
"Apun ich bhagwaan hai" in other words
But the question came up, "Now what ?"

The Purusha felt lonely and sad.

So, it developed it into the size of a female and male embracing each other
&
Then it split itself into two.

In other words,
He left his moksha status to temporary explore the materialistic pleasures.
The 'stage of embrace' is frozen stage that follows big bang.

The stage of splitting is the heating that occurs afterward.
The words from darkness to light are found frequently in Vedas. In this context, it's about liberation of photons.

Post big bang, free electrons had fogged out the photons. It was dark..

Then all of a sudden, the electrons combined with H2, He https://twitter.com/Questperfection/status/1303423075942162432?s=19
In 1.4.3 , Sage Yagavalakya says one quite romantic thing about nature of universe -

“This body is only one half – like one half of a split pea. A woman indeed fills the vacant space."

The 'body' here is not the physical body. It's the body of soul.
