Let us hear only good with our ears,
See only good with our eyes,
And with the help of these senses,
Spend our whole life serving you;
Lord Indra is our protector,
Lord Pusha (Sun) is our benefactor,
May Garuda be auspicious for us,
And may Devguru grant us success,
Let there be peace everywhere
Now I shall utter the Ganesh Atharvashirshya
Ganesha, the Lord of the Devaganas,
You are the first form of the Bramhatatva to arise
You have alone created this entire universe
You alone can sustain this universe
You alone can destroy this universe
You are the all conquering supreme Lord
Indeed, you are the “ATMA” || 1 ||
I take oath upon the three worlds,
That I speak only the Truth
Protect me
Protect the one who describes you
Protect all who hear about you
Protect the giver of this knowledge
Protect the one who receives it
Protect me & my disciples
Protect me from the obstacles
From the east
From the west,
From the north
From the south
Protect me from above & below
Protect me from all directions
You are the constituent of speech
You are Joy & Immortal Consciousness
You are Truth, Mind & Bliss, incomparable
You are none other than divinity
You are knowledge of all types || 4 ||
All the Universes manifest due to you
All the Universes are sustained by you
All the Universes get destroyed in you
All the Universes gets merged into you
You are Earth, Water, Fire, Air & Sky
You are the 4 types of speech & the root source of sound || 5 ||
You are beyond the 3 gunas;
Beyond the 3 bodies;
Beyond the 3 times
Beyond the 3 states of being
You always reside in the “Muladhara” Chakra
You are the trinity of Power
Sages always Meditate for you
You are the Creator, Sustainer, Destroyer,
The Lord of the 3 worlds, Fire, Air, Sun,
Moon, You are all inclusive & all Pervading
Atharva Rishi then gives us the sacred
Ganesh Vidya. The Letter “GA” is to be enunciated, followed by “NA”. This one word Mantra is then given power by saying “OM”. Knowledge in those days was transmitted orally, so to make it simpler, Atharva Rishi presents a simpler form : “GA” is the first part, “Na” is the middle one and “UM” with a ‘bindu’ is at the end. It is said that this Mantra if pronounced properly,
has the power of revealing Lord Ganesh. The sage who receives the Mantra is Ganaka & the Master is “NICHRUD GAYATRI”. The deity is Ganapati. Om ‘GANG’ Ganapati. ” My salutation to you.”
Pray to the single Tusked Lord,
with a bent Trunk
May He grant knowledge to us || 8 ||
The Lord with 1 tusk and 4 hands ;
Upper right hand carrying a binding rope;
Upper left hand holding goad;
Lower left one carrying a broken tusk
The lower right one to bless us,
The mouse on his banner is also his vehicle.
He is blood red in colour; Pot-Bellied;
He has elephant ears & wears red robes
He is smeared with red sandalwood
And is decorated with red flowers
He is eternally blessing his devotees
And has been existing before the Cosmos
He is beyond “PRAKRITI” & “PURUSHA”
One who prays to him, is a Supreme Yogi
Salutations to you Lord of all Deities, Ganas & all beings, the Pot-Bellied one with one tusk who destroys all obstacles, son of Shiva, the divine Lord who grants boons, we bow to you, taking your name ||10||

Ganapati Atharva Sheersha
This verse is a restatement of some of the titles of Ganesha:
Ekadanta - One-tusked one
Lambodara - Big-bellied
Varadaya - Bestower of Boons
Sarvatanaya - Son of Siva
Vighnavina - Destroyer of Obstacles
16. He who studies this Atharva Shira moves towards Brahma. He is always blissful. He is not bound by any obstacles. He is liberated from the five greater and the five lesser sins. Evening meditation destroys the unmeritorious actions of the night. At both evening and morning he is liberated from the bad and he attains Dharma-Artha-Kama and Moksha.
According to John Grimes, the phrase "Atharva Shira" suggests "firmness or singlepointedness of the intellect as directed towards one's realization of the Divine."
(Grimes, p22). Thus, we are told that study of this text leads one to realization of the Divine.
Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha are the four legitimate life-goals: Dharma can be translated as 'righteousness' or 'duty'; Artha as prosperity; Kama, as sensual pleasure, and Moksha, as liberation.
17. This Atharva Shira should not be given to those not pupils. If from delusion a person so gives, he is a bad person.
18. He who wants something may accomplish it by 1000 recitations of this. He who sprinkles Ganapati with this becomes eloquent. He who recites this on the 4th day becomes a knower of Vidya. This an Atharva saying "He who moves towards Brahma is never afraid." He who worships with fried grains becomes famous and becomes intelligent. He who worships with sweet-meat (modaka) gains the desired fruit. he who worships with samit and ghee by him all is attained, all is gained by him. He who makes eight Brahmanas understand this becomes like the sun's rays. In a solar eclipse, in a great river, or in front of an image having recited (this) he gets accomplished in the mantra. He becomes liberated from great obstacles. He is freed from great misfortunes.

Place of Zero and Pi
The place-value system, first seen in the 3rd century Bakhshali Manuscript, was clearly in place in his work. While he did not use a symbol for zero, the French mathematician Georges Ifrah argues that knowledge of zero was implicit in Aryabhata's place-value system as a place holder for the powers of ten with null coefficients.
However, Aryabhata did not use the Brahmi numerals. Continuing the Sanskritic tradition from Vedic times, he used letters of the alphabet to denote numbers, expressing quantities, such as the table of sines in a mnemonic form.
Approximation of π :
Aryabhata worked on the approximation for pi (π), and may have come to the conclusion that π is irrational. In the second part of the Aryabhatiyam (gaṇitapāda 10), he writes:
caturadhikam śatamaṣṭaguṇam dvāṣaṣṭistathā sahasrāṇām
ayutadvayaviṣkambhasyāsanno vṛttapariṇāhaḥ.
"Add four to 100, multiply by eight, and then add 62,000. By this rule the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 20,000 can be approached.
This implies that the ratio of the circumference to the diameter is ((4 + 100) × 8 + 62000)/20000 = 62832/20000 = 3.1416, which is accurate to five significant figures.
It is speculated that Aryabhata used the word āsanna (approaching), to mean that not only is this an approximation but that the value is incommensurable (or irrational). If this is correct, it is quite a sophisticated insight, because the irrationality of pi was proved in Europe only in 1761 by Lambert.
After Aryabhatiya was translated into Arabic (c. 820 CE) this approximation was mentioned in Al-Khwarizmi's book on algebra.
There, under the Gupta emperors, 1,000 years before Galileo and Kepler and Newton, Indian thinkers developed a revolutionary idea without which modern science could not exist: the concept of mathematical zero, along with the related system of numerals that is called Arabic but was, in fact, invented here. By the fifth century, an Indian had discovered the earth's axial rotation. Well before the Renaissance re-illuminated Europe, Indian mathematicians had explored the upland realms of quadratic equations and cube roots, had become the first to assign 3.1416 as the value of pi, and had mastered the concept of infinity. Throughout most of history, in fact, Indian science and Indian culture generally matched and at times exceeded anything anywhere else in the world.
The above material is collected from various sources.However the conceptualization comes possibly from various slokas of Ganapati atharva sheersha which will be discussed later in my blog.

Quantum Number in Anuvaka 1
It is known to us that there is adequate information available on the structure of atom in all the details: I am not adding anything new. I only wish to expand our visualization of the structure of the atom in context of what is available in Rudra prasna from Rigveda in its Anuvaka 1.We know a)Energy levels in electrons in an atom are quantized b)we can not know energy and position of electron at the same time c)particles are in energy level and have wave like properties.d)specifically four quantum numbers are assigned to each electron.
What is in Anuvaka 1? The energy level is indicated by Shiva holding a bow and often the quiver referred to wave like mechanism. At the end of the Anuvaka 1.
Bhagavan-Possibility
Vishvesvar-Encompassing universe often in diffused spherical shape
Tryambaka Tripurantaka Trikagnikalaya describing spatial disposition in three axis as is in the case of orbitals.
Kalagni Rudraya repeating energy level in respect of time.
Neelkanthaya Mrutunjaya energy levels over coming charged attraction and repulsion as the particles are charged.
Sarveshvaraya Phenomena is all pervasive
Sadashiva All the time.
This is what we know it in atomic structure as 1S,2S spherical orbitals 2P in three planes with their axis and 3S again spherical and repeated at all the time.
This appears to a highly coded version in the Rudra prasna and extraordinary skill of conceptualization of structure of an atom.

Quantum Number and Conscience
Quantum Numbers are used to locate the position of sub-atomic particles like electrons.However it is the study of assigning a particular set of Quantum numbers to an electron orbiting in space around nucleus which comprises of protons and neutrons which are in compact form.Closest and perhaps more accurate understanding of this objective study originates in the Vedas.Objective study makes it entirely clear that it is exclusively based on the possibility of finding the electron by assigning a definitive set of quantum numbers.This excludes the study of subject which has no such quantized status and does not exhibit this parameter.
Main study starts in Rigveda and continues extensively in Yajur,Sama and Atharva Veda.How this quantum mechanism is understood hopefully by assigning the Purusha Sukta describing Vishnu in the solid subjective status and in Rudra prasna the Shiva takes on the objective version where quantum mechanism is exclusively assigned.
Rudra takes on quantized understanding of the universe in eleven anuvakas namakam and eleven chamakam .Thereby give the universe infinite possiblities of combination and many more possibilities of how it works and sustains eternally that is SANATANA
