32 Cosmic Energies and their

Clifford Algebras
By John Frederic Sweeney

Abstract

In a recent paper, the author explained the function and purpose of Brahma in Vedic
Nuclear Physics, in relation to the 9 x 9 Vastu Purusha Mandala, commonly used in
Vastu Shasta, known as the Indian form of Feng Shui, but which predates that form by
many millennia. This paper overlays a grid of Clifford Algebras and Matrix Algebras
over this ancient 9 x 9 Vastu Purusha in an attempt to derive correspondence between
the 32 deities of the Vastu Purusha and contemporary mathematical physics. Next, a
hypothesis: having established the veracity of the 9 x 9 Vastu Purusha and its 32
deities, is it possible to draw isomorphic relationships between the matrix algebras,
Clifford Algebras and ancient Vedic deities? This paper attempts to do so. In addition,
the paper solves elementary questions about Five Elements and rotation of the Svas
Tika.

Clifford Clock and 9 x 9 Square Matrix Algebras

Introduction

Indian writers expose a conundrum when stating where the 9 x 9 Vedic Square originates:
either from the central Brahmanasthan spot or the peripheral North East direction, which
pertains to the god Isana and from whence prana is supposed to enter into a home in Vastu
Shasta. Contemporary writers simply assert one over the other, with none attempting to
resolve the impasse or give logical reasons for their assumptions.

This author suggests that when Dark Matter emerges from the central square into the realm
of visible matter, it does so by pulling tension from the periphery, which is governed by the
gods of the Five Elements. In this way, the emergence of visible matter includes a Five
Element characteristic, starting with the North East square of Isana, which corresponds to the
element of Earth. In an earlier paper published on Vixra the author describes this nuclear
process in Vedic Physics.

With some juxtaposition, we may shift the symbols of the chart of matrix and Clifford Algebras
published by Reece Harvey and copied by Frank “Tony” Smith onto his monumental website
such that the position of “R” for Real Numbers corresponds to the North East position of
Isana. The rest of the numbers fill in accordingly until the final or 81 st square gets filled with
M256(R) to represent Nimiti. (please see the charts after the table of contents).

In an earlier paper published on the Vixra server, this author drew an analogy to the 3 x 3
Magic Square of Qi Men Dun Jia (QMDJ), the ancient Egyptian divination method preserved
in the stable and conservative Chinese culture for millennia. Just as the central square is
considered the origin of things and events in QMDJ, yet symbols “ride” Kun 2 Earth palace, so
in the Vedic Square, matter emerges from the center but takes on peripheral Five Element
characteristics as it does, rotating through all Five Elements in turn, starting with Isana.

This solution seems to happily resolve the question, and gains support from millennia of
Chinese metaphysics, perhaps most of which were culturally borrowed from India in the
remote past, and then preserved in the culture of China, in the same way cultures are used in
biology to preserve bacteria, amoeba and other cells in Petri dishes. The extremely culturally
conservative China remains unlikely to have invented much of anything, but instead has
probably preserved the valuable discoveries of Early Global Civilization.

Moreover, the rotation of the Five Elements fits in with the Svas Tik Magic Square, commonly
known in the west as the swastika and highly esteemed in Nazi ideology as a key symbol of
the Aryan race. Small wonder that the Aryans supposedly valued the symbol, that the Nazis
adopted the symbol to represent their political movement, and that the Jews have since
6
outlawed its use - thus depriving westerners of a key symbol of occult knowledge.
No fools, Asian Buddhists continue to use the symbol as they always have in recognition of its
extreme importance, despite Jewish protests, and with the cruel irony that some 60 million
Chinese died during WWII, while far fewer than the fictitious six million Jews died.

On a theoretical level, this much seems to hold true. The system of Brahma and the deities of
the Vedic Square come down to us from remote antiquity, some 14,000 years or more in the
past and remain more or less consistent, despite regional variations in spellings and names of
deities. We might further draw an analogy to the Neters or numerical gods of remotely Ancient
Egypt as described by Schwaller de Lubicz and his wife. The Vedic Square sets out the
pantheon of Hindu gods and the Ancient Egyptians had their own similar pantheon.

At the same time, the order of the Matrix and Clifford Algebras in the Reece Harvey chart
appears quite fixed and natural. That is to say, that matrix and Clifford Algebras seem to form
natural patterns which continue on infinitely, as demonstrated by Frank “Tony” Smith.” One
may re - design the chart to match the flow of prana in the Vedic Square or Vastu Purusha, as
the author has done above.

Purusha, by the way, refers to the atomic nucleus in Vedic Physics, lending more evidence to
support this theory. Moreover, physicist Frank “Tony” Smith has illustrated how the pattern
shown in the Reece Harvey Matrix and Clifford Algebra chart repeats itself consistently and
infinitely in nature, in a separate chapter below.

Finally, the shape of the Vedic Square lends itself to the formation of torii and then later to the
Hopf Fibration. In turn, the Hopf Fibration resembles the Hyper - Circles the author discussed
in a recent paper about Vedic Nuclear Physics published on the Vixra server. In a series of
Vixra papers published in 2013, the author described the importance of the Hopf Fibration in
the emergence of visible matter from the state of Dark matter.

This paper attempts to establish a series of isomorphic relationships: from the Vastu Purusha
to the Matrix / Clifford Chart, from Vedic Deities to Clifford Algebras; from Chinese Trigrams to
Clifford Algebras via the Clifford Clock, and from Trigrams to the amino acids of the DNA helix.
While the paper may prove unsuccessful, the exercise of doing so may help to align the
model correctly.

For example, whoever assigned Clifford Algebra values to Trigrams for the Clifford Algebras
seems to have reasoning which fails to match the model. Perhaps the Clifford Clock
assignments could be changed to better match reality. This paper makes a brief attempt to
correct these values.

Pascal’s Triangle was never really Pascal’s, he merely combined the state of knowledge
surrounding the triangle, which had been discovered or presented by Indian mathematicians
concerned with combinatorics, as Wiki states. The Indians were interested in combinatorics
and so devised the triangle, which contains the Fibonacci numbers as will be shown below.
This is yet another example of Europeans taking credit for a key math concept which
originated in India, from Vedic Physics. We live in a combinatoric universe, but western
mathematicians still fail to grasp the fact.

Vastu Purusha The Vedic Square

Central palace No. 5 has this number determined by the Five Elements at the Periphery.
As Dark Matter extrudes through the central hole, this causes tension in the periphery,
which consists of five separate fields of five different elements: Fire, Wood, Water,
Earth, Metal or Aether, depending upon whether the scheme is Vedic or Chinese. This
tension sets up a rotational movement: as matter extrudes from the central hole, each
particle is stamped in turn with the quality of one of the Five Elements.

Hypothesis: the matrix chart and the Clifford Algebra chart consist of a natural
numerical order: this is not simply conceived by humans as a heuristic device. Indeed,
in an email to the author, physicist Frank “Tony” Smith illustrated how the pattern
endlessly repeats itself ad infinitum throughout the universe.

Having established the veracity of the 9 x 9 Vastu Purusha and its 32 deities, is it
possible to draw isomorphic relationships between the matrix algebras, Clifford
Algebras and ancient Vedic deities? This paper attempts to do so.

Gods of the Rig Veda

In the Rigveda it is stated that there are 33 deities associated with sky (dyu), earth (prithvi)
and the middle realm (antariksha), though a larger number of deities are mentioned in the
text.[1] There are 1028 hymns in the Rigveda, most of them dedicated to specific deities.
Indra, a heroic god, slayer of Vrtra and destroyer of the Vala, liberator of the cows and the
rivers; Agni the sacrificial fire and messenger of the gods; and Soma the ritual drink dedicated
to Indra are the most prominent deities.
Invoked in groups are the Vishvedevas (the "all-gods"), the Maruts, violent storm gods in In-
dra's train and the Ashvins, the twin horsemen.
There are two major groups of gods, the Devas and the Asuras. Unlike in later Vedic texts and
in Hinduism, the Asuras are not yet demonized, Mitra and Varuna being their most prominent
members. Aditi is the mother both of Agni and of the Adityas or Asuras, led by Mitra and Var-
una, with Aryaman, Bhaga, Ansa and Daksha.
Surya is the personification of the Sun, but Savitr, Vivasvant, the Ashvins and the Rbhus,
semi-divine craftsmen, also have aspects of solar deities. Other natural phenomena deified
include Vayu, (the wind), Dyaus and Prithivi (Heaven and Earth), Dyaus continuing Dyeus, the
chief god of the Proto-Indo-European religion, and Ushas (the dawn), the most prominent
goddess of the Rigveda, and Apas (the waters).
Rivers play an important role, deified as goddesses, most prominently the Sapta Sindhu and
the Sarasvati River.
Yama is the first ancestor, also worshipped as a deity, and the god of the underworld and
death.
Vishnu and Rudra, the prominent deities of later Hinduism (Rudra being an early form of
Shiva) are present as marginal gods.
The names of Indra, Mitra, Varuna and the Nasatyas are also attested in a Mitanni treaty, sug-
gesting that the some of the religion of the Mitannis was very close to that of the Rigveda.

In the Vedas, Aditi (Sanskrit: अदितिra दितिra "limitless")[1] is mother of the gods (devamatar) from whose
cosmic matrix the heavenly bodies were born. As celestial mother of every existing form and being, the
synthesis of all things, she is associated with space (akasa) and with mystic speech (Vāc). She may be
seen as a feminized form of Brahma and associated with the primal substance (mulaprakriti) in
Vedanta. She is mentioned nearly 80 times in the Rigveda: the verse "Daksha sprang from Aditi and
Aditi from Daksha" is seen by Theosophists as a reference to "the eternal cyclic re-birth of the same
divine Essence"[2] and divine wisdom.[3] In contrast, the Puranas, such as the Shiva Purana and the
Bhagavata Purana, suggest that Aditi is wife of sage Kashyap and gave birth to the Adityas such as
Indra, Surya, and also Vamana.

13
Eight Vasus, eleven Rudras, twelve Adityas, Indra, and Prajapati

Aditi is said to be the mother of the great god Indra, the mother of kings (Mandala 2.27) and
the mother of gods (Mandala 1.113.19). In the Vedas, Aditi is Devmatar (mother of the celesti-
al gods) as from and in her cosmic matrix all the heavenly bodies were born. She is preemin-
ently the mother of 12 Adityas whose names include Vivasvān, Aryamā, Pūṣā, Tvaṣṭā, Savitā,
Bhaga, Dhātā, Vidhātā, Varuṇa, Mitra, Śatru, and Urukrama (Vishnu was born as Urukrama,
the son of Nabhi and Meru.)[5] She is also is the mother of the Vamana avatar of Vishnu. Ac-
cordingly, Vishnu was born as the son of Aditi in the month of Shravana (fifth month of the
Hindu Calendar, also called Avani) under the star Shravana. Many auspicious signs appeared
in the heavens, foretelling the good fortune of this child.
In the Rigveda, Adhithe is one of most important figures of all. As a mothering presence, Aditi
is often asked to guard the one who petitions her (Mandala 1.106.7; Mandala 8.18.6) or to
provide him or her with wealth, safety, and abundance (Mandala 10.100; 1.94.15).

In Hinduism, Ādityas (Sanskrit: आदितिra त, pronounced [ɑːd̪it̪jɐ]), meaning "of Aditi", refers to the
offspring of Aditi. In Hinduism, Aditya is used in the singular to mean the Sun God, Surya. Bhagavata
Purana[1] enlists total 12 Adityas as twelve Sun-gods. In each month of the year, it is a different Aditya

14
(Sun God) who shines. All these 12 Adityas are the opulent expansions of Lord Vishnu in the form of
Sun-God.[2]

In the Rigveda, the Ādityas are the seven celestial deities, sons of Āditi,
1. Varuna
2. Mitra
3. Aryaman
4. Bhaga
5. Anśa or Aṃśa
6. Dhatri
7. Indra
The eighth Āditya (Mārtanda) was rejected by Aditi, leaving seven sons. In the Yajurveda
(Taittirīya Samhita), their number is given as eight, and the last one is believed to be Vivas-
vān. Hymn LXXII of Rig Veda, Book 10, also confirms that there are eight Adityas, the eight
one being Mārtanda, who is later revived back as Vivasvān. [4]
"So with her Seven Sons Aditi went forth to meet the earlier age. She brought Mārtanda thith-
erward to spring to life and die again."
The rigvedic Ādityas are Asuras, a class of gods in the Rigveda and are distinct from other
groups such as the Maruts, the Rbhus or the Viśve-devāḥ (although Mitra and Varuna are as-
sociated with the latter). [5]

Indra, also known as Śakra in the Vedas, is the leader of the Devas or gods and the lord of
Svargaloka or heaven in the Hindu religion. He is the god of rain and thunderstorms. [1] He
wields a lightning thunderbolt known as vajra and rides on a white elephant known as
Airavata. Indra is the supreme deity and is the twin brother of Agni and is also mentioned as
an Āditya, son of Aditi. His home is situated on Mount Meru in the heaven.[

The Rig-Veda frequently refers to him as Śakra: the mighty-one. In the Vedic period, the
number of gods was assumed to be thirty-three and Indra was their lord. (Some early post
Rigvedic texts such as the Khilas and the late Vedic Brihad-Aranyaka Upanishad enumerates
the gods as the eight Vasus, the eleven Rudras, the twelve Adityas, Indra, and Prajapati). As
lord of the Vasus, Indra was also referred to as Vāsava.

Vedic Mitra is the patron divinity of contracts and meetings. He is a prominent deity of the
Rigveda distinguished by a relationship to Varuna, the protector of ṛtá. Together with Varuna,
he counted among the chief Adityas, a group of deities with social functions. They are the su-
preme keepers of order and gods of the law. The next two in importance are Aryaman (who
guards guest friendship and bridal exchange) and Bhaga (share in bounty, good luck).
Varuna and Mitra are the gods of the blood oath and tribal contracts, often twinned as Mitra–
Varuna (a dvandva compound). In the Vedic hymns, Mitra is often invoked together with Var-
15
una, as Mitra-Varuna. In some of their aspects, Varuna is lord of the cosmic rhythm of the ce-
lestial spheres, while Mitra brings forth the light at dawn, which was covered by Varuna. Mitra
together with Varuna is the most prominent deity and the chief of the Adityas in the Rigveda.
Though being Asuras, Mitra and Varuna are also addressed as devas in Rigveda (e.g., RV
7.60.12), and in the only hymn dedicated to Mitra, he is referred to as a deva
(mitrasya...devasya) in RV 3.59.6.
The pairing with Varuna, a god unknown in Iranian religion, is very strong already in the
Rigveda, which has few hymns where Mitra is mentioned without Varuna. RV 3.59 is the only
hymn dedicated to Mitra exclusively, where he is lauded as a god following ṛta, order and sta -
bility and of observances (2b, vrata), the sustainer of mankind (6a), said also of Indra in
3.37.4c) and of all gods (8c, devān vishvān).
3.59.1 Mitra, when speaking, stirreth men to labour: Mitra sustaineth both the earth
and heaven.
Mitra beholdeth men with eyes that close not. To Mitra bring, with holy oil, oblation.
(trans. Griffith)
Rigvedic hymns to Mitra-Varuna are RV 1.136, 137, 151-153, RV 5.62-72, RV 6.67, RV 7.60-
66, RV 8.25 and RV 10.132.
Where Mitra appears not paired with Varuna, it is often for the purpose of comparison, where
other gods are lauded as being "like Mitra", without the hymn being addressed to Mitra him-
self (Indra 1.129.10, 10.22.1-2 etc.; Agni 1.38.13 etc.; Soma 1.91.3; Vishnu 1.156.1).
In the late Vedic Shatapatha Brahmana, Mitra-varuna is analyzed as "the Counsel and the
Power" — Mitra being the priesthood (Purohita), Varuna the royal power (Rājān). As Joseph
Campbell remarked, "Both are said to have a thousand eyes. Both are active foreground as-
pects of the light or solar force at play in time. Both renew the world by their deed."

Rudras are forms and followers of the god Rudra-Shiva and make eleven of the Thirty-three gods in
the Hindu pantheon.[1] They are at times identified with the Maruts – sons of Rudra; while at other
times, considered distinct from them. The Ramayana tells they are eleven of the 33 children of the sage
Kashyapa and his wife Aditi, along with the 12 Adityas, 8 Vasus and 2 Ashvins, constituting the Thirty-
three gods.[2] The Vamana Purana describes the Rudras as the sons of Kashyapa and Aditi.[3] The
Matsya Purana notes that Surabhi – the mother of all cows and the "cow of plenty" – was the consort
of Brahma and their union produced the eleven Rudras. Here they are named Nirriti, Shambhu,
Aparajita Mrigavyadha, Kapardi, Dahana, Khara, Ahirabradhya, Kapali, Pingala and Senani – the
foremost.[4] The Harivamsa, an appendix of the Mahabharata, makes Kashyapa and Surabhi – here,
portrayed as his wife – the parents of the Rudras.[3][5] In another instance in the Mahabharata, it is
Dharma (possibly identified with Yama) who is the father of the Rudras and the Maruts.[1]

The Vishnu Purana narrates that Rudra – here identified with Shiva – was born from the anger of the
creator-god Brahma. The furious Rudra was in Ardhanari form, half his body was male and other half
female. He divided himself into two: the male and female. The male form then split itself into eleven,
forming the eleven Rudras. Some of them were white and gentle; while others were dark and fierce.
They are called Manyu, Manu, Mahmasa, Mahan, Siva, Rtudhvaja, Ugraretas, Bhava, Kama,
Vamadeva and Dhrtavrata. From the woman were born the eleven Rudranis who became wives of the
Rudras. They are Dhi, Vrtti, Usana, Urna, Niyuta, Sarpis, Ila, Ambika, Iravatl, Sudha and Diksa.
Brahma allotted to the Rudras the eleven positions of the heart and the five sensory organs, the five

16
organs of action and the mind.[3][2] Other Puranas call them Aja, Ekapada (Ekapat), Ahirbudhnya,
Tvasta, Rudra, Hara, Sambhu, Tryambaka, Aparajita, Isana and Tribhuvana.[3][2]

In one instance in the epic Mahabharata, the Rudras are eleven in number and are named
Mrgavadha, Sarpa, Nirriti, Ajaikapad, Ahi Budhnya, Pinakin, Dahana, Ishvara, Kapalin, Sthanu
and Bhaga. While Kapalin is described the foremost of Rudras here, [1] in the Bhagavad Gita –
a discourse by the god Krishna in the epic – it is Sankara who is considered the greatest of
the Rudras.[6] Both Kapalin and Sankara are epithets of Shiva. [1] In another instance, they are
described as sons of Tvastr and named: Vishvarupa, Ajaikapad, Ahi Budhnya, Virupaksa,
Raivata, Hara, Bahurupa, Tryambaka, Savitra, Jayanta and Pinakin. [1] While usually the
Rudras are described to eleven, in one instance in the Mahabharata; they are said to be elev-
en thousand and surrounding Shiva. [3][1] The eleven groups of hundred are named: Ajaikapad,
Ahi Budhnya, Pinakin, Rta, Pitrrupa, Tryamabaka, Maheshvara, Vrsakapi, Sambhu, Havana
and Ishvara.[1]
The Matsya Purana mentions the ferocious eleven Rudras – named Kapali, Pingala, Bhima,
Virupaksa, Vilohita, Ajesha, Shasana, Shasta, Shambhu, Chanda and Dhruva – aiding the
god Vishnu in his fight against the demons. They wear lion-skins, matted-hair and serpents
around their necks. They have yellow throats, hold tridents and skulls and have the crescent
moon on their foreheads. Together headed by Kapali, they slay the elephant demon Gajasura.
[4]

In Vedic mythology, Rudras are described as loyal companions of Rudra, who later was iden-
tified with Shiva. They are considered as friends, messengers and aspects of Rudra. They are
fearful in nature. The Satapatha Brahmana mentions that Rudra is the prince, while Rudras
are his subjects. They are considered as attendants of Shiva in later mythology. [3]
The Rig Veda makes the Rudras the gods of the middle world, situated between earth and
sky. As wind-gods, the Rudras represent the life-breath. [3] In the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad,
the Rudras are associated with the ten vital energies (rudra-prana) in the body and the elev-
enth being the Ātman (the soul).[3]
The Rudras are said to preside over the second stage of creation and the intermediary stage
of life. They govern the second ritual of sacrifice, the mid-day offering and the second stage of
life – from the 24th to the 68 year of life. The Chandogya Upanishad prescribes that the
Rudras be propitiated in case of sickness in this period and further says that they on depart-
ing the body become the cause of tears, the meaning of the name Rudra being the "ones who
make cry".[3] The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad explicitly states the fact that since the Rudras
leaving the body – causing death – makes people cry, they are Rudras. [3]
The Mahabharata describes the Rudras as companions of Indra, servants of Shiva and his
son Skanda and companions of Yama, who is surrounded by them. They have immense
power, wear golden necklaces and are "like lighting-illuminated clouds". [1] The Bhagavata Pur-
ana prescribes the worship of the Rudras to gain virile power. [3]

In Hinduism, Prajapati (Sanskrit: प्रजापति (IAST: prajā-pati)) "lord of cre पदितिra (IAST: prajā-pati)) "lord of creatures" is a group Hindu
deity presiding over procreation, and protector of life. Vedic commentators also identify him

17
with the creator referred to in the[1] Nasadiya Sukta. According to later beliefs in the post-Vedic
Era, the Prajapaties were elected democratically. Lord Vishnu was first elected democratic-
ally/unanimously as Prajapati (in the North of Aryavarta or Bharta) by all the Rishis and sub-
jects of that era and sat on the throne of Prajapati. Thereafter, Lord Bràhma was elected as
Prajapati (in the west of Aryavrat or Bharta), after which Lord Shankar (in the South of Aryav-
rat or Bharta) or Rudras were elected as Prajapaties. The throne of Prajapati succeeded fur-
ther and there were about 26 Prajapaties, as mentioned in the Vedas.
Prajapati is a Vedic deity presiding over procreation, and the protector of life. He appears as a
creator deity or supreme god vishvakarman above the other Vedic deities in RV 10 and in
Brahmana literature. Vedic commentators also identify him with the creator referred to in the
Nasadiya Sukta.
In later times, he is identified with Vishnu, Shiva, with the personifications of Time, Fire, the
Sun, etc. He is also identified with various mythical progenitors, especially (Manu Smrti 1.34)
the ten lords of created beings first created by Brahmā, the Prajapatis Marichi, Atri, Angiras,
Pulastya, Pulaha, Kratu, Vasishtha, Prachetas or Daksha, Bhrigu, Nārada.
The Mahabharata mentions, in the words of celestial sage Narada, 14 Prajapatis (lit:care-
takers of the Praja) Hiranyagarbha is the source of the creation of the Universe or the mani-
fested cosmos in Indian philosophy, it finds mention in one hymn of the Rigveda (RV 10.121),
known as the 'Hiranyagarbha sukta' and presents an important glimpse of the emerging mon-
ism, or even monotheism, in the later Vedic period, along with the Nasadiya sukta suggesting
a single creator deity predating all other gods (verse 8: yó devé ṣv ádhi devá éka âsīt, Griffith:
"He is the God of gods, and none beside him."), in the hymn identified as Prajapati.
The Upanishads calls it the Soul of the Universe or Brahman, and elaborates that Hiran-
yagarbha floated around in emptiness and the darkness of the non-existence for about a year,
and then broke into two halves which formed the Swarga and the Prithvi. In classical Puranic
Hinduism, Hiranyagarbha is a name of Brahma, so called because he was born from a golden
egg (Manusmrti 1.9), while the Mahabharata calls it the Manifest.
Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 8.8.16 cites Vishvakarman as the leader of the prajāpatis, the sons of
Lord Brahmā who generate progeny.[2] The eleven lords of created beings first created by

In Vedic religion, Varuna (Sanskrit Varuṇa वरुण, Malay: Baruna) or Waruna, is a god of the
water and of the celestial ocean, as well as a god of law of the underwater world. A Makara is
his mount. In Hindu mythology, Varuna continued to be considered the god of all forms of the
water element, particularly the oceans. As chief of the Adityas, Varuna has aspects of a solar
deity though, when opposed to Mitra (Vedic term for Surya), he is rather associated with the
night, and Mitra with the daylight. As the most prominent Deva, however, he is mostly con-
cerned with moral and societal affairs than being a deification of nature. Together with Mitra–
originally 'agreement' (between tribes) personified—being master of ṛtá, he is the supreme
keeper of order and god of the law. The word ṛtá, order, is also translated as "season".
Varuna and Mitra are the gods of the societal affairs including the oath, and are often twinned
Mitra-Varuna (a dvandva compound). Varuna is also twinned with Indra in the Rigveda, as
Indra-Varuna (when both cooperate at New Year in re-establishing order [1]).

19
The Rigveda and Atharvaveda[2] portrays Varuna as omniscient, catching liars in his snares.
The stars are his thousand-eyed spies, watching every movement of men.
In the Rigveda, Indra, chief of the Devas, is about six times more prominent than Varuna, who
is mentioned 341 times. This may misrepresent the actual importance of Varuna in early Vedic
society due to the focus of the Rigveda on fire and Soma ritual, Soma being closely associ-
ated with Indra; Varuna with his omniscience and omnipotence in the affairs of men has many
aspects of a supreme deity. The daily Sandhyavandanam ritual of a dvija addresses Varuna in
this aspect in its evening routine, asking him to forgive all sins, while Indra receives no men-
tion.
Both Mitra and Varuna are classified as Asuras in the Rig veda (e.g. RV 5.63.3), although they
are also addressed as Devas as well (e.g. RV 7.60.12), possibly indicating the beginning of
the negative connotations carried by Asura in later times.

Matrix Algebras

F. Reece Harvey has written a great textbook which describes Matrix Algebras and from
whence the Matrix Algebra chart originates. South Florida University describes Matrix
Algebras in this way:

Definitions
"A matrix is an n-by-k rectangle of numbers or symbols that stand for numbers" (Pedhazur,
1997, p. 983). The size of the matrix is called its order, and it is denoted by rows and
columns. By convention, rows are always mentioned first. So a matrix of order 3 by 2 called A
might look like this:

A=
A matrix called B of order 4 by 4 might look like this:

B=
By convention, matrices in text are printed in bold face.
Elements (entries) of the matrix are referred to by the name of the matrix in lower case with a
given row and column (again, row comes first). For example, a31 = 2, b22=1. In general, aij
means the element of A in the ith row and jth column. By convention, elements are printed in
italics.

22
A transpose of a matrix is obtained by exchanging rows and columns, so that the first row
becomes the first column, and so on. The transpose of a matrix is denoted with a single quote
and called prime. For example A' (A prime) is:

A=

A' =
Note that A' is not just A "tipped over" on its side (if so, we would see the first column as 1 3
instead of 3 1). It's as if cards or boards with numbers on them for each row were pulled 1 by
1 and placed in order for the transpose. The transpose of B is:

B=

B' =
(With some matrices, the transpose equals the original matrix.)
If n = k, the number of rows equals the number of columns, and the matrix is square. A
square matrix can be symmetric or asymmetric. A symmetric matrix has the property that
elements above and below the main diagonal are the same such that element(i,j) =
element(j,i), as in our matrix B. (The main or principal diagonal in matrix B is composed of
elements all equal to 1.) With a square, symmetric matrix, the transpose of the matrix is the
original matrix. A correlation matrix will always be a square, symmetric matrix so the trans-
pose will equal the original.

23
A column vector is an n-by-1 matrix of numbers. For example:

.4
b=
.5

.2

.1

So, b is a column vector. A row vector is a 1-by-k matrix of numbers. For example,

b'= .4 .5. 2. .1

So, b' is a row vector. Note that b' is the transpose of b. By convention, vectors are printed
as lower case bold face letters, and row vectors are represented as the transpose of column
vectors.
A diagonal matrix is a square, symmetric matrix that has zeros everywhere except on the
main diagonal. For example:

12 0 0
C=
0 10 0

0 0 5

C is a diagonal matrix.
A particularly important diagonal matrix is called the identity matrix, I. This diagonal matrix
has 1s on the main diagonal.

1 0 0
I=
0 1 0

0 0 1

I is an identity matrix. It happens that a correlation matrix in which all variables are orthogonal
is an identity matrix.
A scalar is a matrix with a single element. For example

24
d= 12

d is a scalar.

Matrix Operations
Addition and Subtraction
Matrices can be added and subtracted if and only if they are of the same order (identical in
the number of rows and columns). Matrices upon which an operation is permissible are said
to conform to the operation.
We are blessed by the fact that matrix addition and subtraction merely means to add or sub-
tract the respective elements of the two matrices.
Multiplication
Unlike matrix addition and subtraction, matrix multiplication is not a straightforward extension
of ordinary multiplication. Matrix multiplication involves both multiplying and adding elements.
If we multiply a row vector by a column vector, we obtain a scalar.
To get it, we first multiply corresponding elements, and then add them.
The result of multiplying two such vectors is called a scalar product. Scalar products have
many statistical applications. For example, the sum of a variable can be found by placing that
variable in a column vector and pre - multiplying it by row vector made of 1s.

Clifford Algebras

(Wikipedia) In mathematics, Clifford algebras are a type of associative algebra. As K-


algebras, they generalize the real numbers, complex numbers, quaternions and several other
hypercomplex number systems.[1][2] The theory of Clifford algebras is intimately connected
with the theory of quadratic forms and orthogonal transformations. Clifford algebras have
important applications in a variety of fields including geometry, theoretical physics and digital
image processing. They are named after the English geometer William Kingdon Clifford.

A Clifford algebra is a unital associative algebra that contains and is generated by a vector
space V over a field K, where V is equipped with a quadratic form Q. The Clifford algebra
Cℓ(V, Q) is the "freest" algebra generated by V subject to the condition[4]

where the product on the left is that of the algebra, and the 1 is its multiplicative identity.
The definition of a Clifford algebra endows it with more structure than a "bare" K-algebra: spe-
cifically it has a designated or privileged subspace that is isomorphic to V. Such a subspace
cannot in general be uniquely determined given only a K-algebra isomorphic to the Clifford al-
gebra.
If the characteristic of the ground field K is not 2, then one can rewrite this fundamental iden-
tity in the form

where

is the symmetric bilinear form associated with Q, via the polarization identity. The idea of be-
ing the "freest" or "most general" algebra subject to this identity can be formally expressed
through the notion of a universal property, as done below.
Quadratic forms and Clifford algebras in characteristic 2 form an exceptional case. In particu-
lar, if char(K) = 2 it is not true that a quadratic form determines a symmetric bilinear form, or
that every quadratic form admits an orthogonal basis. Many of the statements in this article in-
clude the condition that the characteristic is not 2, and are false if this condition is removed.

26
Let V be a vector space over a field K, and let Q: V → K be a quadratic form on V. In most
cases of interest the field K is either the field of real numbers R, or the field of complex num-
bers C, or a finite field.
A Clifford algebra Cℓ(V, Q) is a unital associative algebra over K together with a linear map i :
V → Cℓ(V, Q) satisfying i(v)2 = Q(v)1 for all v ∈ V, defined by the following universal property:
given any associative algebra A over K and any linear map j : V → A such that
j(v)2 = Q(v)1A for all v ∈ V
(where 1A denotes the multiplicative identity of A), there is a unique algebra homomorphism f :
Cℓ(V, Q) → A such that the following diagram commutes (i.e. such that f ∘ i = j):

Working with a symmetric bilinear form <·,·> instead of Q (in characteristic not 2), the require-
ment on j is

A Clifford algebra as described above always exists and can be constructed as follows: start
with the most general algebra that contains V, namely the tensor algebra T(V), and then en-
force the fundamental identity by taking a suitable quotient. In our case we want to take the
two-sided ideal IQ in T(V) generated by all elements of the form
for all
and define Cℓ(V, Q) as the quotient algebra
Cℓ(V, Q) = T(V)/IQ.
The ring product inherited by this quotient is sometimes referred to as the Clifford product[5]
to differentiate it from the inner and outer products.
It is then straightforward to show that Cℓ(V, Q) contains V and satisfies the above universal
property, so that Cℓ is unique up to a unique isomorphism; thus one speaks of "the" Clifford al-
gebra Cℓ(V, Q). It also follows from this construction that i is injective. One usually drops the i
and considers V as a linear subspace of Cℓ(V, Q).
The universal characterization of the Clifford algebra shows that the construction of Cℓ(V, Q)
is functorial in nature. Namely, Cℓ can be considered as a functor from the category of vector
spaces with quadratic forms (whose morphisms are linear maps preserving the quadratic
form) to the category of associative algebras. The universal property guarantees that linear
maps between vector spaces (preserving the quadratic form) extend uniquely to algebra ho-
momorphisms between the associated Clifford algebras.

27
Basis and dimension
If the dimension of V is n and {e1, …, en} is a basis of V, then the set

is a basis for Cℓ(V, Q). The empty product (k = 0) is defined as the multiplicative identity ele-
ment. For each value of k there are n choose k basis elements, so the total dimension of the
Clifford algebra is

Since V comes equipped with a quadratic form, there is a set of privileged bases for V: the or-
thogonal ones. An orthogonal basis is one such that

where ⟨·,·⟩ is the symmetric bilinear form associated to Q. The fundamental Clifford identity
implies that for an orthogonal basis

This makes manipulation of orthogonal basis vectors quite simple. Given a product
of distinct orthogonal basis vectors of V, one can put them into standard order
while including an overall sign determined by the number of pairwise swaps needed to do so
(i.e. the signature of the ordering permutation).

Examples: real and complex Clifford algebras


The most important Clifford algebras are those over real and complex vector spaces
equipped with nondegenerate quadratic forms.

It turns out that every one of the algebras Cℓp,q(R) and Cℓn(C) is isomorphic to A or A⊕A,
where A is a full matrix ring with entries from R, C, or H. For a complete classification of these
algebras see classification of Clifford algebras.

Real numbers
The geometric interpretation of real Clifford algebras is known as geometric algebra.
Every nondegenerate quadratic form on a finite-dimensional real vector space is equivalent to
the standard diagonal form:

where n = p + q is the dimension of the vector space. The pair of integers (p, q) is called the
signature of the quadratic form. The real vector space with this quadratic form is often de-
noted Rp, q. The Clifford algebra on Rp, q is denoted Cℓp, q(R). The symbol Cℓn(R) means either
Cℓn,0(R) or Cℓ0,n(R) depending on whether the author prefers positive definite or negative defin-
ite spaces.

28
A standard orthonormal basis {ei} for Rp,q consists of n = p + q mutually orthogonal vectors, p
of which have norm +1 and q of which have norm −1. The algebra Cℓp,q(R) will therefore have
p vectors that square to +1 and q vectors that square to −1.
Note that Cℓ0,0(R) is naturally isomorphic to R since there are no nonzero vectors. Cℓ0,1(R) is a
two-dimensional algebra generated by a single vector e1 that squares to −1, and therefore is
isomorphic to C, the field of complex numbers. The algebra Cℓ0,2(R) is a four-dimensional al-
gebra spanned by {1, e1, e2, e1e2}. The latter three elements square to −1 and all anti-com-
mute, and so the algebra is isomorphic to the quaternions H. Cℓ0,3(R) is an 8-dimensional al-
gebra isomorphic to the direct sum H ⊕ H called split-biquaternions.

Complex Numbers
One can study Clifford algebras on complex vector spaces. Every non-degenerate quadratic
form on a complex vector space is equivalent to the standard diagonal form

where n = dim V, up to isomorphism so there is only one non-degenerate Clifford algebra for
each dimension n. We will denote the Clifford algebra on Cn with the standard quadratic form
by Cℓn(C).
The first few cases are not hard to compute. One finds that
Cℓ0(C) ≅ C, the complex numbers
Cℓ1(C) ≅ C ⊕ C, the bicomplex numbers
Cℓ2(C) ≅ M(2, C), the biquaternions
where M(n, C) denotes the algebra of n×n matrices over C.

Examples: constructing quaternions


In this section, Hamilton's quaternions are constructed as the even sub algebra of the Clifford
algebra Cℓ0,3(R).
Let the vector space V be real three dimensional space R3, and the quadratic form Q be de-
rived from the usual Euclidean metric. Then, for v, w in R3 we have the quadratic form, or dot
product,

Now introduce the Clifford product of vectors v and w given by

29
This formulation uses the negative sign so the correspondence with quaternions is easily
shown.
Denote a set of orthogonal unit vectors of R3 as e1, e2, and e3, then the Clifford product yields
the relations

and

The general element of the Clifford algebra Cℓ0,3(R) is given by

The linear combination of the even grade elements of Cℓ0,3(R) defines the even sub algebra
Cℓ00,3(R) with the general element

The basis elements can be identified with the quaternion basis elements i, j, k as

which shows that the even sub algebra Cℓ00,3(R) is Hamilton's real quaternion algebra.
To see this, compute

Smith, based on the spinorial clock of Andrez Trautman and P. Budinovich.

Straightforward application of the clock shows R for Real Numbers corresponding with Isana,
the Northeast, Earth and the Qian Metal Trigram. This creates problems or conflicts when
attempting to include the Chinese order of metaphysics, since Qian Metal is not an Earth
element. Alternatively, we could re - assign the trigrams to match the Vastu Shasta, in which
case R and Isana would match the Kun 2 Earth Trigram. In this version of the Clifford Clock,
then, we would have R + R under this rubric. More likely, the assignments need to shift one
place to the right to match the Vastu Purusha chart.

Pascal Triangle of Clifford Algebras
(Wikipedia)

Of all matrix ring types mentioned, there is only one type shared between complex and real
algebras: the type C(2m).
For example, Cℓ2(C) and Cℓ3,0(R) are determined as C(2). There is a difference in the classify-
ing isomorphisms used.
Since Cℓ2(C) algebra is isomorphic via a C-linear map (which is necessarily R-linear), and
Cℓ3,0(R) algebra is isomorphic via an R-linear map,
Then: Cℓ2(C) and Cℓ3,0(R) are R-algebra isomorphic.
A table of this classification for p + q ≤ 8 follows: Here p + q runs vertically and p − q runs ho-

Pascal Triangle and Fibonacci Numbers

The Fibonacci Series is found in Pascal’s Triangle


Pascal’s Triangle, developed by the French Mathematician Blaise Pascal, is formed by start-
ing with an apex of 1. Every number below in the triangle is the sum of the two numbers diag-
onally above it to the left and the right, with positions outside the triangle counting as zero.
The numbers on diagonals of the triangle add to the Fibonacci series, as shown below.

Pascal’s triangle has many unusual properties and a variety of uses:


• Horizontal rows add to powers of 2 (i.e., 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc.)
• The horizontal rows represent powers of 11 (1, 11, 121, 1331, etc.)
• Adding any two successive numbers in the diagonal 1-3-6-10-15-21-28… results in a
perfect square (1, 4, 9, 16, etc.)

39
• It can be used to find combinations in probability problems (if, for instance, you pick
any two of five items, the number of possible combinations is 10, found by looking in
the second place of the fifth row. Do not count the 1′s.)
• When the first number to the right of the 1 in any row is a prime number, all numbers in
that row are divisible by that prime number

Fibonacci Numbers and the Pascal Triangle

In the book, Liber abaci ( meaning Book of the Abacus or


Book of Calculating ), the practical arithmetic problem is
presented : A pair of rabbits is put in a limited area. This pair of
rabbits produces another pair each month. If the rabbits do not
die, the question is : How many pairs of rabbits there would be
? The answer from the book is this sequence of numbers :
1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 .....
The series of numbers was named " Fibonacci numbers" by
Edouard Lucas ( 1842-1899 ).

Lucas invented numerous significant applications of these.The Fibonacci sequence is


a recursive sequence where the first two values are 1 and each successive term is ob-
tained by adding together the two previous terms. The definition of the Fibonacci
series is :

F(n+1) = F(n-1) + F(n) , if n>1 and F(0) = 0, F(1) = 1


By adding diagonal numbers of the Pascal Triangle Fibonacci sequence can be ob-
tained :

1 1
1 1 1

..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... .....

It can be pressumed where on his journeys Fibonacci met this sequence if "rows" in
double Pascal`s Triangle are summed :

40
1 1
1 1 2
1 1 1 3
1 1 2 1 5
1 1 3 2 1 8
1 1 4 3 3 1 13
1 1 5 4 6 3 1 21
.... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... ....

For the sake of playfulness among numbers and areas let us point out the connection
between the arithmetical triangle and Fibonacci numbers. The Pascal Triangle is shown
as follows and the numbers in rows are summed:

1 1
1 1
1 1 2
1 2 3
1 3 1 5
1 4 3 8
1 5 6 1 13
.... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... ....

R. Knott found the Fibonacci numbers appearing as sums of " rows" in Pascal`s Tri-
angle. By drawing Pascal`s Triangle with all the rows moved over by 1 place, we have a
clearer arrangement which shows the Fibonacci numbers as sums of columns :

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
0 1
1 1 1
2 1 2 1
3 1 3 3 1
4 1 4 6 4 1
5 1 5 10 10 5
6 1 6 15 20
7 1 7 21
8 1 8
9 1
1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55

41
Here is the alternative form of Pascal`s Triangle, with the double rows re-aligned as
columns and the sums of the new columns are the Fibonacci numbers :

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
0 1
1 1
2 1 1
3 1 1
4 1 2 1
5 1 2 1
6 1 3 3 1
7 1 3 3 1
8 1 4 6 4 1
9 1 4 6 4 1
1 2 3 5 8 . . . . .

There is a reciprocal connection between Fibonacci numbers and arithmetical triangle.


There are also numerous recursive relations for the Fibonacci numbers :

F(n+1) = 1*F(n) + 1*F(n-1)

F(n+2) = 1*F(n) + 2*F(n-1) + 1*F(n-2)

F(n+3) = 1*F(n) + 3*F(n-1) + 3*F(n-2) + 1*F(n-3)

F(n+4) = 1*F(n) + 4*F(n-1) + 6*F(n-2) + 4*F(n-3) + 1*F(n-4)

F(n+5) = 1*F(n) + 5*F(n-1) + 10*F(n-2) + 10*F(n-3) + 5*F(n-4) + 1*F(n-5)


F(n+6) = 1*F(n) + 6*F(n-1) + 15*F(n-2) + 20*F(n-3) + 15*F(n-4) + 6*F(n-5) + 1*F(n-6)
.... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... ....

It is obvious that the structure of Pascal`s Triangle is built in these recursive relations,
which certainly indicates the existing connection between the numbers of Pascal`s Tri-
angle and Fibonacci numbers .
The French mathematician Edouard Lucas found a similar series :
1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18,29,47 ...
The Fibonacci rule of adding the latest two to get the next is kept, but here we start
from 2 and 1 (in this order) instead of 0 and 1 for the (ordinary) Fibonacci numbers :

L(n+1) = L(n-1) + L(n) , if n>1 and L(0) = 2, L(1) = 1


Let us point out the connection between the arithmetical triangle and Lucas numbers.
The Pascal Triangle is shown as follows and the numbers in rows are summed:

42
1 1
1 1 1 3
1 1 1 1 4
1 1 1 2 1 1 7
1 1 1 3 2 2 1 11
1 1 1 4 3 3 3 1 1 18
1 1 1 5 4 4 6 3 3 1 29
.... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... ....

Also, there is the alternative form of Pascal`s Triangle, with the double rows re-aligned
as columns and the sums of the new columns are the Lucas numbers :

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
0 1
1 1 1
2 1 1
3 1 2 1
4 1 2 1
5 1 3 3 1
6 1 3 3 1
7 1 4 6 4 1
8 1 4 6 4
9 1 5 10 10 5
. 1 3 4 7 11 . . . .

Here is shewn is a reciprocal connection between Lucas numbers and arithmetical tri-
angle:

L(n+1) = 1*L(n) + 1*L(n-1)


L(n+2) = 1*L(n) + 2*L(n-1) + 1*L(n-2)
L(n+3) = 1*L(n) + 3*L(n-1) + 3*L(n-2) + 1*L(n-3)
L(n+4) = 1*L(n) + 4*L(n-1) + 6*L(n-2) + 4*L(n-3) + 1*L(n-4)
L(n+5) = 1*L(n) + 5*L(n-1) + 10*L(n-2) + 10*L(n-3) + 5*L(n-4) + 1*L(n-5)
L(n+6) = 1*L(n) + 6*L(n-1) + 15*L(n-2) + 20*L(n-3) + 15*L(n-4) + 6*L(n-5) + 1*L(n-6)

Pascal's Triangle - Negative Row Numbers
Pascal's Triangle can be extended to negative row numbers.
First write the triangle in the following form:
m = 0 m = 1 m = 2 m = 3 m = 4 m = 5 ...
n=0 1 0 0 0 0 0 ...
n=1 1 1 0 0 0 0 ...
n=2 1 2 1 0 0 0 ...
n=3 1 3 3 1 0 0 ...
n=4 1 4 6 4 1 0 ...
Next, extend the column of 1s upwards:
m = 0 m = 1 m = 2 m = 3 m = 4 m = 5 ...
n = −4 1 ...
n = −3 1 ...
n = −2 1 ...
n = −1 1 ...
n=0 1 0 0 0 0 0 ...
n=1 1 1 0 0 0 0 ...
n=2 1 2 1 0 0 0 ...
n=3 1 3 3 1 0 0 ...
n=4 1 4 6 4 1 0 ...
Now the rule:

can be rearranged to:

which allows calculation of the other entries for negative rows:


m = 0 m = 1 m = 2 m = 3 m = 4 m = 5 ...
n = −4 1 −4 10 −20 35 −56 ...
n = −3 1 −3 6 −10 15 −21 ...
n = −2 1 −2 3 −4 5 −6 ...
n = −1 1 −1 1 −1 1 −1 ...
n=0 1 0 0 0 0 0 ...
n=1 1 1 0 0 0 0 ...
n=2 1 2 1 0 0 0 ...
n=3 1 3 3 1 0 0 ...
n=4 1 4 6 4 1 0 ...
This extension preserves the property that the values in the mth column viewed as a function
of n are fit by an order m polynomial, namely

44
.
This extension also preserves the property that the values in the nth row correspond to the
coefficients of (1 + x)n:

For example:

When viewed as a series, the rows of negative n diverge. However, they are still Abel sum-
mable, which summation gives the standard values of 2 n. (In fact, the n = -1 row results in
Grandi's series which "sums" to 1/2, and the n = -2 row results in another well-known series
which has an Abel sum of 1/4.)

Clifford Extensions

by Frank Tony Smith

Here is how to extend the Real Clifford 8-Periodicity Structure:

Start with the diagram of Cl(p,q) where p and q go from 0 through 8:

46
Then separate out the periodic 8x8 part where p and q go from 1 through 8: the real (green)
and complex (white) and quaternion (yellow) types continue in a consistent pattern after

extension

47
Then extend the 8x8 part like a checkerboard
and extend the 1x7 and 7x1 strips for p =0 and q = 0
The extension (at the stage of extending by 3 steps) looks like this:

48
As you can see
the real (green) and complex (white) and quaternion (yellow) types continue in a consistent pattern after extension.

THE KALACHAKRA AND SCIENCE OF DIRECTIONS

The kalachakra or "Wheel of Time" chart in Vedanga Jyotish reflects the cosmic
model of the universe. Every individual has his own universal kalachakra model
according to his birth chart. All nine planets also take their place in the individual
kalachakra chart depending upon which one of the 27 nakshatras they occupy.
The central position is given to the Sun. It is necessary to construct the
kalachakra around the Sun's position since it is the Sun who determines kala or
time by his movement. Of the importance of the Sun in measuring time, Shrila
Prabhupada writes in his introduction to Shrimad-Bhagavatam (5.22):

"The Sun-god, who controls the affairs of the entire universe, especially in
regard to heat, light, seasonal changes and so on, is considered an expan-
sion of Narayana. He represents the three Vedas—Rig, Yajur and Sama—
and therefore he is known as Trayimaya, the form of Lord Narayana. Some-
times the Sun-god is also called Surya Narayana. The Sun-god has expan-
ded himself in twelve divisions, and thus he controls the six seasonal
changes and causes winter, summer, rain and so on.

Yogis and karmis following the varnashrama institution, who prac-


tice hatha or ashtanga-yoga or who perform agnihotra sacrifices, worship
Surya Narayana for their own benefit. The demigod Surya is always in touch
with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Narayana. Residing in outer
space, which is in the middle of the universe, between Bhuloka and Bhuvar-
loka, the Sun rotates through the time circle of the zodiac, represented by

50
twelve rashis, or signs, and assumes different names according to the sign
he is in.* For the moon, every month is divided into two fortnights. Simil-
arly, according to solar calculations, a month is equal to the time the Sun
spends in one constellation; two months constitute one season, and there
are twelve months in a year.

The entire area of the sky is divided into two halves, each representing
an ayana, the course traversed by the Sun within a period of six months.
The Sun travels sometimes slowly, sometimes swiftly and sometimes at a
moderate speed. In this way he travels within the three worlds, consisting
of the heavenly planets, the earthly planets and outer space. These orbits
are referred to by great learned scholars by the names Samvatsara, Pariv-
atsara, Idavatsara, Anuvatsara and Vatsara."
*For the names and qualities of Surya Narayana in each of the twelve rashis, please refer to the May 2012 issue of The
Astrological Newsletter, article (beginning from p. 10) entitled "Lord Surya Narayana: Controller of Time and Destiny" by
Abhaya Mudra Dasi (Issue 29, May 2012)

By examining this kalachakra chart based upon the Sun's location, an astrologer
can determine certain trends during each particular period or dasha cycle in the
life of any individual. Such forecasts of either favorable or unfavorable results rely
upon the directions that the planets align within the kalachakra. Planets that fall
in the section that is closer to the areas around the southern direction always of -
fer more challenging experiences during their planetary periods. On the other
hand, planets that shine to the north and its surrounding directions offer bless-
ings and other good results.
KALA CHAKRA IN THE CHART OF SHRILA PRABHUPADA

Below is Shrila Prabhupada's kalachakra chart. His Divine Grace single-handedly spread the
sankirtana movement all over the world during the years of his planetary periods of Mercury and
Ketu (according to the 120-year system of planetary cycles called vimshottari dasha). Shrila Prab-
hupada's Mercury period ended around August 1971. In Shrila Prabhupada's horoscope, exalted
Mercury forms bhadra mahapurusha yoga in the 10th house karmastan. Note how in the
kalachakra, Budha (Mercury) is powerfully positioned in the eastern direction of spiritual power
alongside Sun and Venus. The eastern side of the kalachakra indicates that His Divine Grace has
the blessings of the king of heaven lending additional power to the yoga.

51
Next, Ketu period followed the Budha dasha. In Shrila Prabhupada's chart, Ketu is on the North-
east side of blessings that are given by the grace of Ishana (Shiva). Ketu is positioned in the east
alongside the planet of dharma (Jupiter). Ketu sits in the kingly nakshatra of Magha, "the great
one."

UNDERSTANDING YOUR KALACHAKRA

When a weak or destructive planet is positioned in any of the eight directions, it is best to avoid a
prolonged stay in this particular direction in one's residence. Remaining in those directions in the
house or office can promote the effects associated with the weak or harmful planet. On the con-
trary, the person should spend more time in his favorable directions where good planets dwell.
Following these simple guidelines can make a person more content, which for us devotees is an-
other inducement to the practice of bhakti yoga.

As Vedangas, the sciences of jyotish and vastu are meant to help free us from negative effects of
past karmas and thus become more inclined to engage in devotional service to Shri Krishna, the
Supreme Personality of Godhead. Practicing these sciences for any other goal would contradict
their ultimate purpose as adjuncts (angas or "limbs") to bhakti and only implicate the living entity
in never-ending karmic reactions. For example as we have seen from the Krishna Book, Dvaraka
was perfectly planned according to vastu which helped each fortunate Dvarakavasi to live in
Krishna's city in perfect Krishna consciousness. This is the goal of vastu.

Conclusion

Pascal’s famous Triangle belongs to Mount Meru, as Frank “Tony” Smith points out on his
monumental website. As the author has argued in a previous Vixra paper, many of the
mathematical “discoveries” of the past 500 to 1000 years have simply been versions of Indian
mathematics translated into Chinese, Persian, Greek, Arabic or Latin. Westerners are
accustomed to thinking of their society as an improvement over some ancient rude society: in
fact, these mathematical discoveries constitute nothing more than the crumbs of a far more
advanced ancient society than contemporary civilization will ever know. Hindu civilization
continues to preserve this for us, yet the task grows more difficult each year under Kali Yuga.
Smith has done a great deal to re-build Mount Meru on his website and his papers, at the
level of Clifford Algebras, and this is the proper direction for mathematical physics to take at
this time.

This paper is in some ways incomplete and unfinished, and may require a later edition. Some
of the charts begun here may have great heuristic importance. Whether or not one may
substitute an ancient Indian god for a Clifford Algebra remains to be worked out, yet the
suggestion begins here. Whether or not it remains mathematically possible to apply the laws
of Pascal’s Triangle to the Clifford Algebra Triangle constructed by Frank “Tony” Smith
remains to be worked out as well. In principle, it appears that the rules which apply to one
triangle ought to apply to the other. We live in a combinatorial universe and for this reason
these questions deserve exploration and research.

The matching of the Vastu Purusha 9 x 9 grid with the Matrix / Clifford Algebra grid may yield
benefits, especially in the area of Five Elements. Doctors of Chinese medicine work with the
Five Elements each day, but lack intellectual theory for why they work. If mathematicians
research the corresponding Clifford Algebras to each of the Five Elements, this could lead to
new theory.

A further avenue research is the Hamiltonian Path or the Clifford Path suggested by the Hare
Krsna paper and illustration. Does Prana / Qi / Ki move in these stated directions?

Much work remains to be done with the Clifford Clock to align the Trigrams properly with the
Vastu Purusha: the present arrangement may not work adequately.

The author has written papers published on Vixra which theorize that the borders between the
stable 8 x 8 Satva state of matter and the dynamic 9 x 9 Raja state of matter are probably
marked with the Golden Section and Fibonacci Numbers. Moreover, the author has stated the
importance of Fibonacci (Pisano) Periodicity and Bott Periodicity (described above) in the
growth of matter in the universe. This paper has suggested a close relationship between
Clifford Algebras and Fibonacci Numbers, linking these to Vedic deities. In ways which remain
unclear to the author, somehow these concepts all fit in to a complete model of the
development of matter into structures in the universe, and this deserves further research.

53
This paper presents the 9 x 9 grid of the Vastu Purusha and its assembly of deities,
suggesting that they bear a numerical relationship in an analogous manner to the Neter of
remotely ancient Egypt, described by Schwaller de Liebeicz. Rig Veda scholars may use the
instances included in this paper to deconstruct the passages of the Rig Veda in search for the
numerical codes embedded in the superficial stories about the gods. Christopher Minkowski
has done so for the Magic Squares that Nilakantha discovered in the Rig Veda, and the
sources this author has used for writing about Vedic Physics both rely upon secret decoded
scientific text embedded within the Rig Veda and Vedic Literature.

As noted above, many of the words used to describe the lives of Vedic deities bear scientific
meanings, specifically to Vedic Nuclear Physics, such as purusha and loka. Others have
engendering relationships, such as Indra as mother. Some have matching or twin
relationships, such as Mitra and Varuna. The author deeply suspects that the stories in the
Rig Veda, the Puranas and the Bagavad Gita मद्भगव contain code for describing nuclear
physics – secrets which remain unknown in the west. Of course, this will prove an object of
future research for the author.

Wiki on extending Pascal’s Triangle to Negative Numbers

Another option for extending Pascal's triangle to negative rows comes from extending the oth-
er line of 1s:
m = −4 m = −3 m = −2 m = −1 m = 0 m = 1 m = 2 m = 3 m = 4 m = 5 ...
n = −4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ...
n = −3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ...
n = −2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ...
n = −1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 ...
n=0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 ...
n=1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 ...
n=2 0 0 0 0 1 2 1 0 0 0 ...
n=3 0 0 0 0 1 3 3 1 0 0 ...
n=4 0 0 0 0 1 4 6 4 1 0 ...
Applying the same rule as before leads to
m = −4 m = −3 m = −2 m = −1 m = 0 m = 1 m = 2 m = 3 m = 4 m = 5 ...
n = −4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ...
n = −3 −3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ...
n = −2 3 −2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ...
n = −1 −1 1 −1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 ..
n=0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 ...
n=1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 ...
n=2 0 0 0 0 1 2 1 0 0 0 ...
n=3 0 0 0 0 1 3 3 1 0 0 ...
n=4 0 0 0 0 1 4 6 4 1 0 ...

61
Note that this extension has the properties: that just as

we have

Just as summing along the lower-left to upper-right diagonals of the Pascal matrix yields the
Fibonacci numbers, this second type of extension still sums to the Fibonacci numbers for neg-
ative index.
Either of these extensions can be reached if we define

and take certain limits of the Gamma function, .
