The soma, the critical essence of food, helps to make hormones, enzymes, electrolytes, different bodily chemicals, antibodies, and other supporting constituents like endocannabinoids and brain chemicals. It also supports their mechanisms of action in the body, enabling our body to fight against asuric power and keeping us physically, mentally, and spiritually stronger.

?

Devas are aligned with Paramatma (natural compatibility). They align with the processes of creation (Brahma), sustenance (Vishnu), and elimination (Maheshwar). Devas follow divine rules (rules of nature) or will and diligently perform their duties.

?

However, asuras do not follow divine will. Daityas, Danavas, and Rakshasas exist to challenge and disrupt the rule of law (Divine Order).

?

According to the traditional story of the Vedic era, Kashyapa had three wives: Aditi, Diti, and Danu. The sons born from Aditi were called Adityas, who are devas. The children of Diti and Danu are respectively called Daityas and Danavas. Daityas have sons known as rakshasas, and Bali is one of them. Thousands of Danavas were born from Danu. Due to their natural temperament, these children became known as asuras.

?

Rakshasas have three branches. Rakshasas emerged from the third eye, located between the eyebrows of a hangry (hungry, angry, and tired) Brahma during the creation time.

?

The two daughters of Daksha (Subject Matter Experts), Krodhabasa (the language of anger or negativity) and Kasha (typical, unique, but absolute positivity), also join Rakshasas.

?

Asuras reside in the underground or underworld, while Rakshasas live on Earth.

?

Vidhya Dhar, Aapsaraa, Yakshas, Gandharvas, Kinnaras, Pichasas, Guihakas, Siddhas, and Bhutaganas are all superhuman powers aligned with the devas.

?

Asuras, Daityas, Danavas, and Rakshasas are different.

?

Asuras are enemies of the Devas or Demigods, while Rakshasas are enemies of Humans and Saints. Rakshasas fight to protect forests and nature, while Asuras are more deadly and dangerous. Rakshasas do not fight against the Pancha Devas (Five rules of law), whereas Asuras do not care about their opponent's identity and fight against God (rules of law).

?

Asuras are defined as enemies of the Devas. Therefore, all Daityas, Danavas, and Rakshasas are considered asuras.

?

The difference between Devas and Asuras is that Asuras seek only bodily comfort and pleasure. They prioritize pampering the body and seeking comfort. Asuras desire power and possessions, aspiring to control swarga (an ideal comfort zone) rather than aiming to manage the world. They focus solely on personal comfort and power in Swarga.

?

There are some exceptions among rakshasas, such as Bibisana. The name Ka?yapa means "clear vision," while A-diti means "undivided" or "non-duality." Diti means "divided" or duality.

?

The Daityas or asuras are born from Diti's "Divided" mind as forces of division and chaos since chaos is the default condition. The 12 Adityas, born from Aditi, the co-wife of Kashyapa, represent unity, harmony, and order.

?

The Sura creates harmony, whereas the Asuras work in intervening synchronizations. Those phenomena exist at various levels of the mind. It is both external and internal. Each with its own underlying causality determines its inherent behavioral aspects.

?

Bhagwan (Deva or Sura) and Rakshasa (Asura) represent a type of manifested behavior based on the inspiring level. Devas are the uninterrupted source of energy supply. Asuras exhibit transient qualities that can change or diminish over time and situations. Both Deva and Asura are the internal influencers.

?

Daitya and Danava are external distractions. They influence redirecting internal energies to create chaos and destabilize psychological and spiritual harmony.

?

Vidhyadharas (Group of Upadevas) are energy phenomena within the infinite consciousness that transcend the boundaries of time and spirituality.

?

?

?

The clear vision of reality encompasses two perspectives: chaos and order, disunity and unity, duality and non-duality. In Chaos, Order needs to be established. The order establishes a multiplicity that converges into the oneness of being-consciousness-bliss.

?

We engage in the psychic struggle between these two perspectives throughout our lives. We constantly apply the weapon of Viveka or discriminatory power. The law of Kurukshetra, meaning the field of action, symbolizes the eternal spiritual struggle.

?

Danu is a fundamental earth goddess, representing the land and mother's power, wisdom, and unlimited fertility.

?

The human body is fundamentally constructed with five elements. The bodily constitutions are interchanging among liquid, solid, or gas. Empty or void spaces in the body allow all substratum to exist.

?

At the quantum level, every particle vibrates. Numerous areas within the body are always found empty, known as Akasha. Quantum particles in continuous vibrational mode converge at specific points, forming focal points of shared Akasha, called the atma, the focal point of all substratum.

?

In the Vedic era, the power of storm (Vayu – vibrational forces) primarily focused on eradicating the root cause of problems through design, called Rudra. This is equivalent to the dancing Siva or quantum vibrational energy at the unified quantum field. The unified quantum field is understood as the mother of the mother earth. The mother of mother earth is described as Prisni, the wife of various forms of Siva. The various form of Siva is termed Rudra.

?

Parvati is the collective form of the mother of mother earth that holds the five fundamental particles (Pancha-mahabhuta): space, air, fire, water, and earth, which combine in different rational proportions to form mother earth. Pancha-mahabhuta, by design, constructs quality attributes that help to assemble into quantum particles to develop into multi-layered structural bedding for stable body structure. The law of nature followed by all those substrata under the grips of a unified quantum field helps to maintain the continual vibrational mode needed to develop a stable visible structure.

?

The sons of Rudra and Prisni are called Maruta. Maruta's role is to fix any abnormalities and restore overall stability, protecting and maintaining the harmony jointly created by Rudra and Prisni. This involves regaining the acquired strength of the body at the gross level and maintaining the stability of Pancha-mahabhuta within every constituent of the body and the Akasha.

?

Maruta is closely related to stability within and among. It is devoted to construction and reconstruction. It maintains vibrational mode within the unified quantum field and throughout the gross bodily structure. This includes maintaining harmony among body parts and their fluidity and absolute synchronizations. The Vedic literature mentions at least 180 types of maruta energy (RV 8.96.8) working in our body to maintain internal and external harmony to keep our body alive.

?

According to the Vedic view, Akasha factors play a vital role in the interaction between air-Akasha and the liquid-solid interface, maintaining the viability of the human body. The role of maruta in these interactions is described in Vedic literature.

?

Maruta represents vital power and is one of the body's three essential senses of humor (chemical systems regulating human behavior). In biochemistry, the different types of maruta describe the role of body chemicals in the body. For example, Bhima represents the trillions of trillion gut microbiomes in the stomach that maintain an overall strong appetite (Vrikodara) and the power to defeat demons like Andhakasura (physical strength equivalent to 10,000 elephants). Andhakasura is also the group of gut microbiomes that, in adverse health conditions, work to harness pathogenicity and create disharmony.

?

The composite term "Andhakasura" consists of "andha," meaning blind, and "asura," meaning an evil attitude. It represents the driving force that disrupts the established harmony. Darkness resides within the stomach; pathogens can thrive in dark and confined spaces. The Agni (digestive fire of the body) typically destroys or inactivates pathogens (Andhakasura) and toxicity (Asura Kali) while extracting the essential nutrients from food. The toxicity (Kalakuta - antigens) is initially detoxified by maruta (antibodies - god of wind) and entirely destroyed by Siva (the body power of disintegration and elimination).

?

The soma, the critical essence of food, helps produce hormones, enzymes, electrolytes, various bodily chemicals, antibodies, and other supporting constituents like endocannabinoids and brain chemicals. It also supports their mechanisms of action in the body, enabling our body to fight against asuric power and keeping us physically, mentally, and spiritually stronger.

?

It is possible to inactivate many asuric components of the body by drying them. However, in some instances, drying out blood is challenging and can result in the death of vital organs.

?

The human body contains blood, phlegm (mucus), bile, and several body chemicals. Maruta represents the power of cleansing, catalyzing, repairing, and facilitating vital processes through chemical interactions, movements, mechanisms of action, and eliminations.

?

Herbal extracts and their aromatic phytochemicals, which play a role in taste, scents, and bodily mechanisms, are considered divine powers of airflow called Marutas, akin to hormones, enzymes, and ion-exchanging minerals.

?

In the Vedic literature, bile is referred to as Pitamaruta. The term "Pita" and "Maruta" together form Pitamaruta, representing a thread-like greenish-yellow viscous liquid (resembling a snake) stored in the gallbladder.

?

It enters the digestive tract and aids in breaking down fats into fatty acids as a digestive fire. The root of the term Pitta originates from "tapa," meaning digestive fire or heat.

?

The liver secretes bile fluid, a complex mixture containing water, electrolytes, and various organic molecules such as bile acids, cholesterol, phospholipids, and bilirubin. Bile flows through the biliary tract into the small intestine, resembling a snake emerging from a hole. Bile facilitates digestion, absorption, excretion, hormone metabolism, and other functions.

?

?It also maintains body heat, thirst, hunger, vision, luster, cheerfulness, and intellect and is responsible for all body aspects of heat, light, and color. Pitamaruta represents the body's tendency to utilize various enzymes, hormones, body chemicals, movements, etc., to complete processes as required.

?

It is well understood that the power of soma rasa can be harnessed in Vedic innovation. Vedic Bhela dot com and Veda and Bigyan collaborate to explore the hidden healing prospects of the 180 types of maruta energy mentioned in Vedic literature, aligning them with modern scientific understanding. This joint volunteer mission aims to conduct Vedic research on maruta and soma power, unveiling the transformative potential of healing food and medicines as ingredients for Kayakalp. It is a unique and exciting endeavor.
