To All: We may never really know the details of MMY's thoughts regarding the Rig Veda. From his apaurusia(?), we are told that the Rig Veda contains the constitution of the universe, and that the various stanzas in the Rig Veda corresponds to an esoteric physics formula which most of us have never heard of or know anything about. From my own POV, it appears that MMY may be talking about the subatomic structure which physicists today are still trying to understand and discover. Based on the vedic principles, there could be a corresponding subatomic structure which "previews" the five elements: fire, earth, wind, water and ether.
They've already talked about this. It's mentioned in the Unified Field chart for Ayurveda, which contains an alleged formula for the 5 tanmatras. Not that anyone but they believe in it. Kinda silly really.
My take on his whole "Rig Ved" spiel was it was what he purloined from the father-son Vedic chanting duo he used to hang with, along with his intellectual interests garnered from hanging around actual physicists. As it turns out, the whole AGNI thing is not his. There are huge compendia of analyses on Rig Vedic words, phrases and their meaning. These are still just barely being preserved by traditional pundit families. Much of it is committed to writing but none of it, as far as I am aware, has been translated into English yet.
If someone wanted to be really enterprising and helpful, they could start or fund a translation project to preserve these texts.
