ABSTRACT

Outlines the 8-fold structure in the 10 mandals of Rk-Veda, and gives more detail about the three principles or forces in nature (sattva, rajas, tamas), the five constituents (space, air, fire, water, and earth) as corresponding to fundamental forces in modern physics, levels of mind in Sankhya and Ayurveda, the four levels of speech, and speculates on how the transition between physical body and non-physical ‘soul’ in Sankhya relates to ‘levels of spacetime’ min the natural world.
