Bhūloka · The Language of Energy

Physics — From the
Atom to the Ātman

The oldest and most rigorous investigation of reality — practised across five millennia, two hemispheres, and one continuous thread of inquiry. Physics is the grammar of the universe. Here, you learn to read it.

"The Vedic seer and the modern physicist ask the same question: what is the nature of the real? One looked inward and named Brahman. The other looked outward and found the quantum field. The answers converge."

Origins

Physics began with
observation

Long before the word "physics" entered any European language, the Indian civilisation was already measuring planetary motion, constructing geometric altars to exact specifications, and composing hymns that describe the universe emerging from a single undifferentiated field.

This is not pride. It is historical record. The Śulba Sūtras contain the theorem attributed to Pythagoras — centuries earlier. Āryabhaṭa declared a heliocentric model and calculated the Earth's circumference. Bhāskara described gravitational attraction before Newton was born.

c. 1500 – 800 BCE Vedic Cosmology & the Nāsadīya Sūkta The Ṛgveda's Creation Hymn describes a state prior to existence and non-existence — an undifferentiated singularity from which all differentiation arises.
c. 800 – 500 BCE Śulba Sūtras · Geometric Precision Precise geometric constructions for Vedic fire altars — including the diagonal theorem, area transformations, and irrational number approximations.
c. 600 BCE Kaṇāda · Vaiśeṣika Atomism Kaṇāda's Vaiśeṣika Sūtra proposed that all matter is composed of indivisible atoms (paramāṇu) — a systematic atomic theory predating Democritus.
499 CE Āryabhaṭa · Heliocentric Insight Proposed Earth's axial rotation, calculated its circumference with remarkable accuracy, and developed sine tables — a thousand years before Copernicus.
c. 500 – 1200 CE Sūrya Siddhānta · Bhāskara · Brahmagupta Codified planetary astronomy. Formalised zero and negative numbers. Described a form of gravitational attraction and infinitesimal calculus.
nāsad āsīn no sad āsīt tadānīṃ
nāsīd rajo no vyomā paro yat Ṛgveda 10.129.1 — Nāsadīya Sūkta

"There was neither existence nor non-existence then; there was neither the realm of space nor the sky beyond."

This verse — from the oldest surviving philosophical text in any Indo-European language — describes a pre-cosmic state that modern physicists call the quantum vacuum: not empty, not full, but a field of pure potentiality from which space, time, and matter precipitate.

The Indian tradition never separated the observer from the observed. Physics in this lineage was always a contemplative act as much as an empirical one.

"In the beginning there was neither nought nor aught. Then there was neither sky nor atmosphere above… Who then knows whence it first came into being?" Nāsadīya Sūkta · Max Müller translation

The Western Lineage

The same mountain,
climbed from outside

Beginning in the 16th century, a parallel tradition of inquiry matured in Europe — built on empirical measurement, mathematical formalism, and the controlled experiment. This lineage did not replace the older one. It rediscovered, in its own language, many of the same truths.

What follows is not a civilisational comparison. It is the recognition that physics is one inquiry pursued by the entire human species.

1564 – 1642 Galileo Galilei · The Empirical Method Replaced appeals to authority with direct measurement. Established kinematics as a mathematical science.
1642 – 1727 Isaac Newton · The Laws of Motion Three laws, universal gravitation, and the calculus to express them. The first complete physics.
1831 – 1879 James Clerk Maxwell · The Electromagnetic Field Four equations unified electricity, magnetism, and light — the first great unification in physics.
1879 – 1955 Albert Einstein · Relativity Dissolved absolute space and time into unified spacetime geometry. E = mc² revealed that matter is concentrated energy.
1900 – 1930s The Quantum Revolution Planck, Bohr, Heisenberg, Schrödinger, Dirac. The observer re-entered physics. Reality became probabilistic.
"The universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose." J.B.S. Haldane

The Western lineage arrived — through external measurement — at precisely the insights the Indian lineage reached through internal realisation. The collapse of the wave function mirrors the Vedāntic teaching that consciousness is not separate from what it observes.

These are not forced analogies. They are structural parallels that the greatest physicists of the 20th century acknowledged explicitly. Schrödinger read the Upaniṣads. Bohr placed the yin-yang on his coat of arms. Oppenheimer quoted the Gita.

At Geeta-Physics, we teach the complete physics — not one tradition against another, but both as facets of a single investigation into the nature of the real.

"The general notions about human understanding which are illustrated by discoveries in atomic physics are not in the nature of things wholly unfamiliar… Even in our own culture they have a history, and in Buddhist and Hindu thought a more considerable and central place." J. Robert Oppenheimer

What We Teach

Three Tracks

Every student arrives with a different need. Some face exams. Some need applied foundations. Some are drawn to the deepest questions. Three tracks — all rigorous, all cross-referenced, all part of the same Bhūloka curriculum.

A
Competitive Track
JEE · NEET · AP · Olympiad
For cracking exams with clarity, not coaching-factory confusion

Every topic built from first principles, with the mathematical rigour examiners demand and the conceptual clarity that turns memorisation into understanding. The student who understands the concept will solve problems they have never seen before.

Kinematics Newton's Laws Work, Energy & Power Rotational Mechanics Gravitation Waves & Oscillations Thermodynamics Electrostatics Current Electricity Magnetism EM Induction Optics Modern Physics Semiconductors

Full syllabus for JEE Main, JEE Advanced, NEET, AP Physics, and international Olympiads.

B
Engineering Track
Applied Foundations
For building things that work — circuits, signals, structures, systems

Physics as it appears in the engineering disciplines — grounded in vector calculus, translated into circuits and signals, and applied to materials, structures, and systems.

Vector Calculus EM Waves Transmission Lines Circuit Analysis Semiconductor Physics Applied Mechanics Fluid Mechanics Engineering Mathematics

Designed for B.Tech/B.E. students and working professionals revisiting fundamentals.

C
Quantum Foundations
The Deepest Questions
For the student who wants to understand what reality actually is

Quantum mechanics taught not as a recipe book of formulas but as a confrontation with the nature of the real. Full mathematical apparatus, cross-referenced with the Vedāntic view where the parallels are precise.

Wave-Particle Duality Schrödinger Equation Operators & Observables Uncertainty Principle Quantum Tunnelling Hydrogen Atom Photoionization Spin & Angular Momentum Intro Quantum Information Vedānta × Quantum

For M.Sc. aspirants, physics majors, and sincere seekers who refuse the surface.

How You Learn Physics Here

Concept → Mathematics → Visualisation → Problems → Insight

I

Concept

Every topic begins with the physical idea — stated in plain language, grounded in observation. You understand what is happening before you calculate anything.

II

Mathematics

The concept expressed in its natural language — equations, derivations, and the precise mathematical structure that makes physics a science.

III

Visualisation

Diagrams, graphs, and physical analogies that make the mathematics visible. The mind that can see the physics will never forget it.

IV

Problems

Carefully chosen problems that test understanding, not memory. Graded from direct application to multi-concept challenges.

V

Insight

The cross-Loka dimension. Where does this physics connect to a Vedic principle, a musical pattern, a philosophical question? This makes learning irreversible.


Begin

The universe is already speaking.

Physics does not reward the clever. It rewards the sincere. The student who sits with a concept until it becomes transparent — not until they can repeat it, but until they can see through it — that student will understand anything.

Start with Mechanics — the foundation of everything that follows. All content is freely available.
