Many thanks, Vaj. I also really like the definition below of "weak," etc., as I have just now been playing with the possibilities that the 3 Vishnu-Vishnu subgunas (Conception, pre-natal sleep, pre-natal dream) introduce Gravity; the 3 Vishnu-Brahma subgunas (pre-natal waking, birth, and sleep) introduce the Strong force; the 3 Vishnu- Shiva subgunas (dreaming, waking, T.C.-I) introduce the Weak force (hence purva phalguni); and the 3 Brahma-Vishnu subgunas (T.C.-II, C.C., and G.C.) introduce the Electromagnetic force.
The 3 Brahma-Brahma subgunas (U.C., B.C, ripened B.C.) introduce and "destroy" or embrace the True Self, pivoting around B.C. as the end of spacetime; then the 3 Brahma-Shiva subgunas reiterate the Brahma-Vishnus, embracing the E-M force; the 3 Shiva-Vishnu subgunas embrace the Weak force; the 3 Shiva-Brahma subgunas embrace the Strong force; and the 3 Shiva-Shiva subgunas embrace the Gravitational force :-) --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Vaj <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > phalgu means "reddish".
