How is it related to the earth or a material body
Though we know it's different from air and recedes into outer space, how is it possible to add akasha as an element which forms our body How do i explain this to a scholar and explain its significance? Particularly, how is sound a property of akasha So if you remove the other four elements, you're left with just akasha
Likewise, the four elements cannot exist without akasha as their substrate. Thus, akasha is the greater/superior and supporter of all other elements and hence it is considered a basic element What does this mean, can somebody please explain The literal translation of akasha is space or sky or ether
It is one of the 5 material elements
It is the first element to evolve from saguna brahman It comes from om, the initial manifestation of brahman From akasha come the other 4 elements The 5 elements are unmixed and subtle.
It is this prana acting upon akasha, which creates this universe from where did swamiji get this idea apart from self realization Is there any scriptural ( vedic or puranic ) reference for all matter coming from akasha being acted upon by prana?
