THE RELEVANCE OF VEDIC SCIENCE PART II
The Gaia hypothesis much talked about today in scientific circles, that there is a guiding life and intelligence on Earth, is another old Vedic idea. Gaia is Greek for Vedic Gau, the cosmic cow, the spirit or Goddesses of the Earth, the Divine power working through it. The ancients had many chants to this Earth Goddess to insure the harmony of man and nature and to keep us attuned to the cosmic creative vibration. Some gave reverence to her, others sought to bring the Divine light, the power of the Gods into her. Such chants (like the Gayatri) give life to Gaia and protect and nourish all life on earth. Vedic science sees the universe as a magical play in the mind, a manifestation of cosmic law to demonstrate the glory of consciousness and the wonder of being.
As our materialistic science breaks through the ideas of time and space, we must begin to see the value of a spiritual science, a science of consciousness which encompasses all of life, outer and inner, a science of the eternal and the infinite. To rebuild such a spiritual science, we can find much of the value in the ancient Vedic and Hindu teachings. This does not mean that we need only follow what remnants of Vedic science we have left today. Nor does it mean that India today is a model culture for the world to follow. Much of the ancient system is fragmented, scattered and worn by time. We need to recreate it and integrate it into our own lives and our own world situation. It is not a new science for us to becomes slaves of but a way of knowledge that gives freedom, which awakens creative intelligence and allows us to go beyond all dependency upon external forms. A science which rules us is a form of ignorance (ne-science). It is the test of true knowledge that it gives freedom to both the mind and heart and helps us to understand and respect all humility and all of life. —
