Concept of Time in General and Particular in Ancient India and todays world(Part II)

 Before starting Part II, Lets summarize the topics we understood in last blog. We tried to understand the etymology of Dika Sadhana, applications, requirements, qualifications and prerequisites etc. of the same. We learnt the concept of water levelling required for it, importance of circles, rule of three and much more. If you missed reading the last blog Kindly read it. Now lets start Part II.  

All these 3 are dynamically moving in their own orbital way, Kakśa , Parimaṇḍala. So Earth is rotating, Moon is rotating and Sun is rotating and they are rotating around others also. And from this we have to decide the fate of local configuration. Before that we should remind Bhartṛhari who is a grammarian, mathematician and also the  philosopher. In the course of deciding time we must know that everything is practically is related to time but time is abstract that we cannot see time, measure time. Space we see, any moving object we see but we cannot see time. We cannot measure time directly. There is superposition of time on space. Time= Space. In other words by measuring Space we can measure time. Bhartṛhari has given in his book Vakapadiya, it has been quoted that Time is related to cosmic phenomenon, related to all Jyotish means bodies which are having flame, fire, light, means bodies which are having light as their nature.

Āditya graha Nakṣatra Parispanda Mata Pare Bhinnam  Āvṛtti Bheden Kālámeka Pracakṣate. 

 He says that some scholars, scientist’s think that time has to recognized with respect to Āditya (Sun), Graha(Planet), Nakṣatra (Constellations ) and their Parispanda means total vibrations, spinning  and means he knows that each planet, moving body has its own spinning, his own Parispanda. So time is related to spinning which is very properly understood by modern science efficiently quantum mechanics. Pari indicates peripheral. Means they are taking cosmos as circular model and we can say it as bipolar, spherical, dynamic, coordinate approach. Parispanda indicates totality, total which means a combination of all their elements or components. This is most important descriptive and unique definition given by Bhartṛhari and it  has not properly stated anywhere. We know that today whole timing is decided with reference to spinning, oscillations at atomic level. When Newton said casually that from Sun, Earth is just a point particle means like an atom, Earth is moving. Point is that this is Parispanda and it was known since ancient times so we equate space and time. Another point of complexity is that time requires space, time presupposes space and space presupposes  directions , directions presupposes orientation and orientation presupposes starting points which at present we take Sun and all presupposes existence. Existence is here because we have to measure time, existence is point here with the whole frame we draw  after existence then as point require space so we have selected space also. We are trying to measure space then there it is Existence-Space-Time as we are measuring time with space. How to measure it? Motion. Newton didn’t defined absolute existence, absolute space, absolute time, absolute motion. He has again done something more than Newton. Motion here is that of Sun. Sun is moving from east to west, we take sun as the centre; earth and moon are also moving. All these three represents the whole cosmos, they have their own way how to coincide them? this is most subtle. Sun has its own way, earth has its own way and we are on earth and we are steady practically speaking. And moon and sun are moving. This is geocentric model.  Even if you go to astrocentric or heliocentric starting point is always geocentric as it is accepted. Another most subtle point is that when we made the ground levelled by water level method, a straight line therefore here enters complex mathematics i.e. point , straight line , plane(vectors), ellipses, sphere etc. The straight line you see as water level is nothing but to be frank when the three centres of earth, sun and moon are in 1 line and that come at local level twice a year. One is on top other on left and third is down. So those 3 should be put on 1 straight line, same single line. 3 directions are made on 1 single line, 1 linear equation not cubic or quartic equation. And that straight line is nothing but diameter of circle also called vyas or mātā in Sanskrit. Straight line is also a straight line for sun, moon and earth . So also we can have proper measuring devices to be employed. The centre of straight line is nothing but centre from which each point say from centre to right or left you draw small centres, concentric centres and that straight line diameter is nothing but circles. For e.g. take ball you will see concentric series of that ball when you cut that ball. Sphere is nothing but circles only. This is most important thing which is missing by all those who are writing and has not been understood by anyone.
