Deya or Deepam; the Hindu sacred symbol of light




Science of light

Light is radiant energy, usually referring to electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye, and is responsible for the sense of sight. Light is an ‘electromagnetic wave’ or that it’s made of ‘photons’. It has the unique characteristic of behaving like both a wave and a particle at the same time.



In the space time continuum, the only generator of light we knew was the Sun or the star, allowing us to evaluate our consciousness with the reality of all creation that dependent on it. Light was never a mysterious entity but was worshiped in many forms to satisfy the intellectual mind of its ever existing authenticity. The properties of light evaluated in modern science is fascinating, describing the speed and the propagation methods that allowed us to see the bigger picture by analyzing this already existing truth. Having understood the science of light, the understanding of the cosmos has made creation easier to understand. Light is now used as a measure to evaluate time in space and also identifying the cosmos as we see it today. Space distance measured in light years.





Religions mimic the light of the sun by symbols and in devotion that light is assumed to be a godly created entity to classify that there are superior powers that govern us. In all the mystic past there were many rituals that worshiped the light in many forms, the word of god that let there be light, the sun worshipers and the worshipers of fire were all seeking the protection of their creators by a light that was a convincing life giving entity.


The Hindus regarded the most important ritual in a prayer is to face the rising sun; Suryadev. Or light a lamp while saying a prayer which represented fire or Agnidev .The western believers lights a candle, which had the same connotation for a prayer to the lord. For all purposes, the Hindu lamp and the candle became a key to open the gate of communication with the lord, in a hope to establish a caring aura in the surrounding.



The Hindus were mostly identified as the sun and the fire worshipers. Many thinkers of the Vedas were convinced that light and energy given by the fire were different with different ingredients. Hence the offering to the sacrificial fire was different for a targeted desired outcome knowing that different offerings in the fire gave different light and spiritual energy (Urja). Rig Veda has glorified the fire as the only way to communicate with the creator, god or consciousness while performing a Yagna (yadnya). The Vedic sages created the institution of sacrificial fires (yadnya) as the point of union of God and man, on the earth. The science is that AGNI - Fire (red-force of the Dark Matter) is the source of all the cosmic radiations at the lowest range in the visible spectrum.



On death, fire is regarded as yet the important deity with believes that cremation prevented the spirit of the dead from remaining among the living, so worshipers of Agni,burned their dead, and Agni transported the soul. 

The science of Vedic logic concluded that the messengers of the fire or Agni were the photons (tejas tattva ) that were created by specified offering in the fire to evoke the divine. These photons were messengers that carried the desired messages to the recipients and for the surround space to create an invisible armor. 



What are Tattwas? The word Tattwa, alternately spelled tattva, tatwa, tatva, is Sanskrit basically meaning “essence,” “principle,” or “element.” The concept of the Tattwas date back at least as early as 2000 BC, in a better context, the Tattwas are the essence of nature through which we not only experience the world around us, but give rise to the very concept of awareness.

Hinduism is a scientific religion and all rituals honor these principles. Light in the modern term is descried scientifically for many years but quantum physics has given it a practical meaning. Let us briefly understand what photons are and how religion equates its need to communicate with the universal consciousness?
