are the pancha mahabootha randomly manifested? what’s the sequence?

akashat vayuhu,

vayur agnihi,

agnir apaha,

adyah pruthivi,

pruthivya oshadhayaha,

oshadhayo annam,

annaath purushaha.

“akasha” is space. 1^st manifestation

“akashat vayuhu” from the space came the air. 2^nd manifestation
”vayur agnihi” from the air came fire. 3^rd manifestation

“agnir apaha” from air, came water. 4^th manifestation.
”adyah pruthivi” from this water manifested the earth. 5^th manifestation

 5 elements done. what next?

“pruthivya oshadhayaha” from the earth came vegetation the 6^th manifestation. look how sanskrit calls the vegetation – oshadha – which also means medicine.

“oshadhayo annam” from the vegetation came food. 7^th manifestation.

“annaath purushaha” from this food came the jeevi. the 8^th manifestation.

akasha, vayu, agni, aapa and prithvi – these five elements evolved from pancha tanmatras which are the sensing abilities

these pancha tanmatras are

shabdha - sound associated with akasha

sparsha touch, associated with vayu

roopa – sight, associated with agni

rasa – taste, associated with water

gandha – smell, associated with earth

and in our body we have sensory systems that are the tools for these tanmatras. what more do we need to know that we and the outside is all made of same elements. let’s realize & connect to macrocosm. oneness is the only truth. let’s evolve.

till i meet you next time, 

wishing you health & happiness in abundance
