'''                                         Rig Veda Agni Sukta '''



First  sukta  of the first Mandala  of the Rig Veda offers its prayer to Lord Agni as energy. Rig Veda II.i.6 directly addresses Agni as Rudra. Rig Veda VI.49.10 calls Rudra as "the Father of the World" who has multiple forms in Rig Veda II.33.9. The Rig Veda 9.63.5 confirms HIM as Yogic Indra, the universal power and father of Maruts (Microbes). Artha- Veda, 20.41.1-3 describes Him as the Atomic energy..

The Mount Kailash resembles the Linga Trikona with Masculine Energy and Bindu Trikona with Feminine Energy known as Trika, the three folds energies of Water, Fire and Air elements in the Sky and on the Earth. The Earth is surrounded by the liquid outer core, an iron alloy, whose convection-driven movement generates the geomagnetic field. The magnetic field pushes eastwards on the inner core, causing it to spin faster than the Earth, but it also pushes in the opposite direction in the liquid outer core, which creates a westward motion. The Earth spins from one to three degrees a year faster than the crust of Earth. This means that while a point on the crust of Earth moves 360° in a year, a similar point on the inner core would move 361-363° in a year. Thus, over approximately 360 years, the inner core would make one complete rotation more than the crust of Earth.

<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0pt0in;text-indent:0.5in;text-align:justify;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed;word-break:normal;"> In a prayer (R.V.I.27.10) addressed to Agni addressed as Rudra, as having the fierce nature of Rudra, the one who makes the evil persons weep.

<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0pt0in;text-indent:0.5in;text-align:justify;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed;word-break:normal;"> Yet another spraying (R.V.II.i.6) directly addresses Agni as Rudra.

<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0pt0in;text-indent:0.5in;text-align:justify;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed;word-break:normal;">                                त्वमग्ने रुद्रो असुरो महो दिवस्त्वं शर्द्धो मारुतं पृक्ष ईशिषे |

<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0pt0in;text-indent:0.5in;text-align:justify;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed;word-break:normal;"> The Shatapatha Brahmana (VI.i.3.7-10) tells that Rudra is the first of the eight names of Agni – "Rudra is indeed Agni"

<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0pt0in;text-indent:0.5in;text-align:justify;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed;word-break:normal;">  Rig Veda (R.V.VI.49.10) calls Rudra the  Iśāna  of the world, "the Father of the World" who has multiple forms (R.V.II.33.9). The Taittiriya Samhita (IV.2.10) mentions multiple forms of Agni almost similar to Rudra; the same text tells us that Rudra is Agni’s fearful body, to mean Rudra is an aspect of Agni. With the piling-up of the fire-altar, Rudra becomes Agni. The multi-valancy of "five" in the  Agnicayana, representing the five-headed five-limbed entity extending beyond all phenomenal dimensions, is connected and identified with Rudra, and with Agni in its Rudra-form.

<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0pt0in;text-indent:0.5in;text-align:justify;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed;word-break:normal;"> The first line of the first mantra of the First  sukta  of the first Mandala  of the Rig Veda offers its prayer to Lord Agni as energy. Rig Veda II.i.6 directly addresses Agni as Rudra. Rig Veda VI.49.10 calls Rudra as "the Father of the World" who has multiple forms in. Rig Veda II.33.9 Rig Veda 9.63.5 confirms HIM as Yogic Indra, the universal power and father of Maruts (Microbes). Artha-Veda,  20.41.1-3 dealt on the Atomic energy !

<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0pt0in;text-indent:0.5in;text-align:justify;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed;word-break:normal;"> In Rig Veda X.v.3 Mantra in praise of Agni refers to the bearers of water, the most subtle and the most refined aspects of manifestations, and in a subsequent mantra, Rig Veda X.v.7, says

It will spark new research to explain the observed pattern of changes in Earth's magnetic field, including the way the north and south poles have "wandered" and reversed periodically over Earth's history. It will yield new knowledge about temperatures at the center of the Earth and the flow of planetary heat that ultimately drives the motions of tectonic plates at Earth's surface to create mountains and oceans, split continents and cause earthquakes.
