The Quantum in Saiva Siddhantum

If Shiva was energy (Pathi) and the particles where the soul (Pasu), there is a direct transition that flows with the contemporary Quantum Physics and Saiva Siddhartum tenants. The world of Quantum Physics is very different from the world that we live in. The same applies when we recount the Saiva Saints when they experienced Siva, it seems like it was not in this world. To the non-believer it is almost like unreal and it could never have happened. However, when it comes to Physics, even the untrained Physicist wanna be will try to understand the unreal concepts but definitely show no disbelieve as shown toward Siddhartum .

The three main tenants of Saiva Siddhatum is Pathi (GOD), Pasu (Soul) and Pasam (the World). These are the only realities that exist and they are in constant change but can never be destroyed. There is no beginning or end for anyone of these and thus they are called the supreme realities. These three elements will continue to play out constantly through time. God, the soul and this world are in constant contact and change. All effecting each other. God is the source of energy for the soul and the soul is the birth and death we see in the world.

The soul must go through various changes from being born and accumulating energies while it reaches its end for that form and then continues on again. In it's entirety the Soul never dies only changing in form. It is this world that allows the soul to take a form so that it can interact with other souls. Then the soul travels without a form (ghost) where it is still a soul in transition from one form to another.

To my own disbelief the concepts of Quantum Physics which was realized entirely independently from the concepts of Saiva Religion have very strong similarities. It is a mere bending comparison between what these concepts mean in the realm of physics and religion. Although neither is going to change or influence the other, it is a matter of seeing the similes and understanding that these two very complex thoughts with the same variables.

There are Five main ideas that define what is Quantum Physics:

1. Energy is not continuous, but comes in small but discrete units.
2. The elementary particles behave both like particles and like waves.
3. The movement of these particles is inherently random.
4. It is physically impossible to know both the position and the momentum of a particle at the same time. The more precisely one is known, the less precise the measurement of the other is.
5. The atomic world is nothing like the world we live in.

Just for the sake of it, if we changed the subject in the tenants of Quantum Physics to represent the Saiva Religion philosophies it would sound like this:

1. God is not continuous, but comes in small but discrete units (Incarnations).
2. The elementary Souls behave both like form and like ghost.
3. The movement of these Souls is inherently random.
4. It is physically impossible to know both the Destiny and the Karma of a Soul at the same time. The more precisely one is known, the less precise the measurement of the other is.
5. Shiva's world is nothing like the world we live in.

Of course we have gone a little beyond and made similes to Destiny and Karma in the above. However, improbable it may seem it is really a matter of getting the subject right. If the Saiva Saints where physicist and they used their own naming convention to describe what they knew. Then what we are practicing right now is supreme Quantum Physics, called Saiva Siddhartum .
