Rudraksh - mystical seed holding secrets of Shiv upasana. Part 9
They were happy and were clear so far. He said, yes this will also be a hypothetical line.
Agreed but its a great game changer.
Now, I would request you to recall our mathematics classes. This central line will bisect and will be perpendicular on the line connecting the two eyes, then only it will be the shortest distance. This imaginary line will divide the triangle into two Right angled triangles.
Does it remind you of some theorem...
This central line that bisects the axis between the eyes is the shortest distance between seer and the seen. It was found mathematically in ancient India. Just recall it’s a well-known fact which was highlighted by Rishi Baudhayana and is known as Baudhayana theorem. Baudhāyana presented a geometrical proof using isosceles triangles. Later on Apastamba gave a numerical proof for it. Then Bhaskara, another ancient Indian mathematician provided a unique geometrical as well as numerical proof.
It was well established that this will be the shortest distance between seer and the seen and is very important in the quest of merging the Seer and Seen. In this merger a new dimension was experienced that was beyond the triads and was a field of Union or Adwait.
He was surprised this time and said, Could you explain it a bit more. We have heard of Pythagorean theorem but not about Budhayana, Apastamba or Bhaskar on this property of Triangles.
Its unfortunate part of Indian education system that it does not give any reference to Indian scholars or their works. Anyways, you said it right we are well versed with Pythogorean theorem, it was taught when we were in eight standard.
But you will be surprised to note that as per the in formation Baudhāyana gave this theorem in his book called Baudhayana Sulbasutra in about 800 BCE that was 1000 years before birth of Pythogoras.
This theorem, applies on Right angled Triangles and in our yogic quest to reduce the distance between seer and the seen, we move at the center of the axis between the two eyes. This place is the location for the third eye. Now when third eye point is connected with bindu where image is formed, it gives us two right angled triangles.
The triad of vision is the basis for this theorem and then for entire trigonometry...
Hope so far its clear...
yep!
