Dear Readers,

Radhekrishna!

In this article, we describe the second stage (intermediate stage) which is inhibited by the devas or demi-gods. We will look at the proportions of potential and kinetic energy at this altitude. In the first stage, we understood that the potential energy is infinite whereas the kinetic energy is nil. Let us see that in this stage, what is the case.

The intermediate stage, Devalokam.

PE = mgh, and KE = ½mv²

In this stage, the 3 variables namely m, g, v have a role i.e. unlike in the first stage where mass ‘m’ was negligible, velocity ‘v’ had no role and gravitational pull ‘g’ was nil, here, in this stage, all these variables have values.

Let us see how this statement

TE = mgh + ½mv² = a constant, is true in this stage.

In this stage, the crucial role is played by g = gravitational acceleration. It is the force exerted by the earth that pulls everything towards it. Gravitational acceleration pulls the body from heaven to the ground.

Velocity, ‘v’ represents movement, since here, in Devalokam, movement takes place.

PE = mgh, where m = mass, g = gravitational acceleration, h = height.

‘m’ represents body mass. The Devas possess a comparatively high value of energy over human beings in the context of mass. ‘m’ has a high value in this stage. ‘h’ represents height from ground to Devalokam.

The gravitation force pulls the body, (Deva) from heaven to ground.

Let us take a scientific example to understand all this:

The rockets that are sent to outer space should have the energy to overcome the gravitational pull exerted by the earth (‘g’). Only when they cross the influence of ‘g’, they can orbit in the sky without falling back to the earth. Once this energy gets exhausted, the rockets cannot remain in space; they fall on the ground.

The same is applicable to the Devas. Once the account of punyam (virtues) gets exhausted, they lose their energy. Once they lose their energy, the gravitation pulls them back to the earth.

Potential energy at the intermediate stage:

Here PE= mgh is different than what it was in the first stage. In the first stage, height was infinite and hence, PE was infinite. But in this stage, height is finite, and gravitational force ‘g’ is also present. Mass is also finite here (in the first stage it was negligible.)

In Devalokam, the PE=>mgh oscillates.

The ‘g’ pulls the DEVA to ground. The Deva tries very hard to hold on to the potential energy (PE) that he possesses to come out of the trap of ‘g’.

Kinetic energy at the intermediate stage.

Coming to the kinetic energy,

KE= ½ mv².

V= velocity of object. Velocity is judged by motion.

Here, another scientific law; ‘a law of motion’ comes into picture

It goes thus: ‘‘every inanimate body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion along a straight line, unless it is acted upon by an external unbalanced force”.

Below is the break up of the key words from the above statement.

1. State of rest = Ground (P.E.)

2. Uniform motion

3. UNTIL IT IS FORCED BY SOME EXTERNAL FORCE.

Let us apply this law with the above key words to Hinduism. But for that wait till our next article.

Till then, radhekrishna. Do more and more chanting.

Sarvam Guruvarpanam.
