Nirav: Koti Koti pranam to Guruji
I have 4 questions, in my knowledge only you can answer those questions, kripa karke please mere savalo k answers dijiye.
Question 1:
Arya Samaj Acharya says there are many Earths in the same universe. Is that true, or is there only one Earth we live on?
In other words, do many Earth-like planets exist in the same universe where humans live, and on all those Earths, has the knowledge of the Vedas also been revealed by God, just as it was on our Earth?
Swami Ram Swarup: There are three lokas Prithvi, antriksh and dyuloka. Isliye sampuran is brahmand mein ek hi Prithvi hai. Haan, in teen lokon ke atirikt is brahmand ke aage aur kai lok hain isliye wahan bhi Prithvi ityadi sab kuchh hai.
Aapko mera bahut Ashirwad.
Question 2:
Except for liberated souls (Mukt Jivatma) and humans, do other beings or alien-type life forms exist who have received the knowledge of the Vedas on their own planets, like humans on Earth?
Swami Ram Swarup: In fact whole creation is connected with the several lokas, but Vedas knowledge is attained on this earth.
Question 3:
If God is a living matter who occupies physical space and is omnipresent, and Jivatma (soul) is also a living matter that occupies space, then how can both exist together?
If God fills all space, there would be no space left for Jivatma — this seems to contradict basic logic and mathematics.
Swami Ram Swarup: In Atharvaveda it is said that if we take tip of a single strand of hair and it is divided into hundred parts and then we again take the hundredth part of the said divided hair and take again the hundredth part of the said hair, then it will be form of soul. According to Rigved mantra God enters the said soul so, you can imagine how much space as said by you will be acquired by God, I think it will be negligible. However, I would say here that the God is beyond calculation and beyond imagination.
Question 4:
Prakruti, which has three Guna — Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas — is this three Gunas of a single matter, present together in one single piece of Prakruti (like God, who exists as a single indivisible entity and cannot be cut, drilled, or divided into pieces)?
Like God being One in single piece, is Prakruti also being One in single piece?
Or
Does Prakruti comprise three types of non-living matter, particles, or something similar, each type of matter holds Guna of being Sattva, Rajas, or Tamas, with these three types of different matter existing in uncountable numbers, yet equal in quantity to each other, and collectively called Prakruti?
Swami Ram Swarup: Yes, when the said three gunas are not working i.e., not creating universe (remains inactive), it is called prakriti. creation is made from prakriti, when creation is not created and the said three gunas remains inactive then the said inactive stage of three gunas is called prakriti. If it is not clear, then you can put your question again please.
When final destruction starts then the said three qualities of the prakriti do not work, its name is prakriti.
Anonymous: I have seen that your interpretation of Atharvaved mantra 9.10.11 indicates that a realised yogi with his will and god’s permission can travel across all the worlds and take birth if needed but the Arya Samajis interpretation of the mantra refers to that being as Paramatma himself and not a yogi. Can you explain how that verse talks about a yogi moving across the worlds as opposed to God moving across the worlds?
Swami Ram Swarup: God would never go anywhere being omnipresent but yogi goes. In this connection, please refer Atharvaveda mantra 9/10/11. You can put your query again if not clear.
