The answers to several questions which are baffling scientists and philosophers today are contained within the treasure-house of the Vedas, as well as the solutions to several daunting problems threatening human society. Access to these answers would open up the possibility of a quantum leap into a world of new truths and new experiences, and a study of the knowledge contained in these texts should also help in understanding the founding principles of one of the most ancient civilisations in human history. Together these could indicate to us the road to the establishment of an enduring harmony and happiness on our planet. The current work attempts to Introduce the reader to the unexplored treasury of humankind’s ancient insights. The discovery opens fascinating vistas and offers glimpses of the origins of the universe. It transports us to a forgotten era when the human mind had attained dazzling heights and delved deep into the mysteries of existence. Our supreme concern is to offer a glimpse of these insights of the Vedas in a manner which makes sense to the modern mind and yet does not distort, but only translates, the insights of the seer-scientists who composed the Vedas. We shall endeavour to avoid the pitfall of merely expressing our own ideas in the language of a foreign culture. To investigate the Vedas fully is a lifetime’s work for someone possessed of a superior intelligence. This book of necessity is a brief exploration of Vedic knowledge, written in the hope that the essence of this fount of wisdom may be conveyed to the reader in an unadulterated form. This work is offered to the reading public in the belief that its subject contains much that is valuable for today’s troubled global society. We follow this with an exploration of Vedic spirituality in its pure form, uncovering the real meaning of the terms falsely interpreted by Western scholars as ‘gods’ and ‘goddesses’. We include extracts from the ‘ancient texts, liberally endowed with poetry and metaphor, to illustrate the truths of the cosmic view revealed to humankind through the Vedas.

The Vēdas, the fountainhead of all right knowledge, seem necessary in view of the recent claims of the modern non-Brahmins and the ever thickening clouds of misconceptions gathering from all quarters where ignorance and perversion, materialism and skepticism, reign supreme. It is certainly necessary for all of us Hindus to acquire and store up in our minds clear and correct ideas about the wonderfully well-ordered scheme of our Divine Religion which takes due note of every side of human existence, physical and social, psychical and moral, and Dharmic and purely spiritual, and fully provides for thorough all-round improvement of all kinds and grades of human nature. If we want to really profit by our Vedic Religion, we must know its characteristic lofty aim and strive to reach it by going along the prescribed ways. Otherwise, we have no right to say ours is that Ideal Religion. The Sacred Věda, the supreme authority and source for all the precepts and practices of our Great Religion, should be properly secured and carefully preserved among us in the exact manner prescribed by it, as may be ascertained from its knowers.

Yoga Nidra helps to expand that natural moment, that twilight zone, when we are neither fully conscious nor fully asleep (just before going to sleep at night and just before becoming fully awake in the morning) from a few moments to 15 minutes and then to half an hour and so on, because during this period, we experience a great deal of physical quiet, emotional peace, mental clarity and potential blossoming of our creative potential. The main aim of Yoga Nidra is psychotherapy or chittashuddhi: All the residue of the past, the suppressed emotional junk and dross accumulated in our sub/unconscious minds creates a screen/veil between us and our Atman/soul, preventing the union. Yoga Nidra helps to purify our mind by getting rid of all that dross and junk, removes that veil/screen, allowing our true personality, strength and happiness to shine through, leading to yoga (Union with Atman/soul).

Important modern scientific truths lie hidden in the highly colourful and symbolical language of the Vedas. Brahma does not mean the theological object of worship, but, it means ‘atomic state which pervades in 58 digits’. The ancients measured distances not even in astronomical light years that proved inadequate, but, in number of digits. ‘Hiranyaksha’ should not be taken as a demon. It indicates ‘gravitational power of the molten matter inside the earth’. Dhaataa or ‘Brahmaa’ is a star standing at a distance of 39 digits and Sarasvatee is its cosmic energy. The Universe as a whole is contracting. The Earth began to cool 1,000,000,000,000 (1 followed by 12-zeroes) years ago. Universe will go on contracting till it finally collapses in 33 digits of years according to our planet. “Om” is not a mere sound but an actual cosmic state which comes into being, when at the initial stage the three Gunas of Prakriti give rise by their interaction to the four states of matter called the charges, atomic, molecule and particle states, and consequently has dimensions like a concrete substance. Gods are stars with supernatural powers, such as the cosmic rays, attraction, repulsion etc. Shiva and Paarvattee are the names given to the spiritual and material aspects.

Nothing is so dear to man as his own soul. Death being inevitable for all who are born, no question could be greater than that of what happens to the soul after death. Life being very short here on earth and man’s desire to realize God or perfection remaining unfulfilled due to death, the question that inevitably follows is whether he will be reborn or not. And if so, when, how and where? Could he control his future and reduce his past karmas or indebtedness and live a life of peace here? The humble effort made here in this book is to answer these questions through philosophy and mythology, reasoning and religion, psychology and science. That the soul is eternal, that reincarnation is certain, that karma is one explanation for all varieties of ills and miseries, that devotion to God could reduce all karmas and stop the round of rebirth, and that the soul could liberate itself from the clutches of maya to merge in God, the Goal of our existence, is, in essence, the approach to this subject and the goal arrived at.

Our Alchemy is to convert the emotions of the second class into those of the first class by dint of the philosopher's stone, as it were, of Moral strategy. To convert anger into pleasure; to transmute sorrow into joy; to change enmity into friendship; to transform indifference into sympathy and to metamorphose vice into virtue-these constitute the marvelous and magical works performed by the Divine Alchemists. The aim in this book is to teach this Magic to readers, and thus to make them mighty rulers of the world, guaranteed to achieving every success, assuredly obtaining every object, and indubitably securing every victory. What greater suggestion can there be than this? But alas! The desire to learn these Occult arts is pitiably too scanty in the world; and consequently, a cold apathy towards such deeds of sterling worth is so regrettably rampant everywhere! No reader recognises it as his humane duty to endeavor to perpetuate such a vouchsafe of heart conquering forces and the grantor of Bliss-securing methods! They do desire pleasure by its study; but then, ignore the duty of securing subscribers for the Boon, to prolong the life of pleasure giver. The Magic of Divine Alchemy, as the title of the publication indicates, is intended to divinise any serious mortal by transmuting the base impulses in him into noble faculties of a realised soul or a Jivanmukta. A Guru can initiate and offer helpful suggestions and it is left to the earnest Sadhaka to put forth his best efforts to achieve beneficial results thereof. The truths contained in the publication are universal in their application and are the results of a continued study by the author, of the human mind and the several means adopted by practical yogins to bring the same under control.
