Concept of Perception in Vedanta Darsana and modern Mathematical Sciences

Abstract

We have already compared the dimensional properties of ancient Vedic and modern physicists universe in my paper entitled ‘33-Visvedevas of Vedic philosophy and 33-dimensions of physical universe’, presented in 64th session of Indian Mathematical Society at Hardwar in December 1998. In the most ancient portions of RgVeda,3/6/9, by Visvamitra, the number of all gods - the Visve-deva — is said to be 33. Sometimes the number is not specified, and the term all-gods or Visve-deva i.e. Cosmic-gods is used. Brahadaranyaka Upanishad,3/9/1, said that all gods were 33; gods were 6 (six dimensional time); gods were 3 (three dimensional space); gods were 2 (two dimensional surface of matter) and gods was 1 (soul i.e. observer), thus giving a formula: 1+2+3+6+21 for 33 Visvedeva gods-group[Pr]. T. Levi Civita (1927) during his studies on Riemannian geometry and tensor calculus, says that we may, however, prove that a Riemannian space V _n of n-dimensions may always be regarded as immersed in an Euclidean Space S _m of m-dimensions where m > 1/2n.(n + 1)[Lc]. By applying this formula, we again derive the 1+2+3+6+21 dimensional relationship between the physical gradations viz. Observer, matter, space, time and the unidentified-one(?) of the modern scientific universe. Under such a complex mathematical ‘observer-object-space-time-unidentified’ matrix, we find an amazing correlation between Vedantic description as well as mathematical equations of relativistic (special) physics concerning the concept of perception.
