THE INFLUENCE OF VEDIC PHILOSOPHY ON NIKOLA TESLA'S 
 UNDERSTANDING OF FREE ENERGY 
 
 "The first thing to realize about the ether is its absolute 
 continuity. A deep sea fish has probably no means of 
 apprehending the existence of water; it is too uniformly 
 immersed in it: and that is our condition in regard to the 
 ether."

 ABSTRACT
 
 Nikola Tesla used ancient Sanskrit terminology in his descriptions of 
 natural phenomena. As early as 1891 Tesla described the universe as a 
 kinetic system filled with energy which could be harnessed at any 
 location. His concepts during the following years were greatly 
 influenced  by the teachings of Swami Vivekananda. Swami Vivekananda 
 was the first of a succession of eastern yogi's who brought Vedic 
 philosophy and religion to the west. After meeting the Swami and after 
 continued study of the Eastern view of the mechanisms driving the 
 material world, Tesla began using the Sanskrit words Akasha, Prana, and 
 the concept of a luminiferous ether to describe the source, existence 
 and construction of matter. This paper will trace the development of 
 Tesla's understanding of Vedic Science, his correspondence with Lord 
 Kelvin concerning these matters, and the relation between Tesla and 
 Walter Russell and other turn of the century scientists concerning 
 advanced  understanding of physics. Finally, after being obscured for 
 many years, the author will give a description of what he believes is 
 the the pre-requisite for the free energy systems envisioned by Tesla . 
 
 
 TESLA'S EARLIER DESCRIPTION OF THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE
 
 By the year 1891, Nikola Tesla had invented many useful devices. 
 These included a system of arc lighting (1886), the alternating current 
 motor, power generation and transmission systems (1888), systems of 
 electrical conversion and distribution by oscillatory discharges 
 (1889), and a generator of high frequency currents (1890), to name a 
 few. The most well known patent centers around an inspiration that 
 occurred while walking with a friend in a park in Budapest, Hungry. It 
 was while observing the sunset that Tesla had a vision of how rotating 
 electromagnetic fields could be used in a new form of electric motor. 
 his led to the well known system of alternating current power 
 distribution. In 1891 however, Tesla patented what one day may become 
 his most famous invention. It is the basis for the wireless 
 transmission of electrical power  and is know as the Tesla Coil 
 Transformer. It was during this year that Tesla made the following 
 comments during a speech before the American Institute of Electrical 
 Engineers;
 
 "Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by 
 a power obtainable at any point in the universe. This idea 
 is not novel... We find it in the delightful myth of 
 Antheus, who derives power from the earth; we find it among 
 the subtle speculations of one of your splendid 
 mathematicians... Throughout space there is energy. Is 
 this energy static or kinetic.? If static our hopes are in 
 vain; if kinetic - and this we know it is, for certain - 
 then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed 
 in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of 
 nature." 1
 
 This description of the physical mechanisms of the universe was given 
 before Tesla became familiar with the Vedic science of the eastern 
 Nations of India, Tibet, and Nepal. This science was first popualized 
 in the United States and the west during the three year visit of Swami 
 Vivekananda.
 
 
 VEDIC SCIENCE AND SWAMI VIVEKANANDA 
 
 The Vedas are a collection of writings consisting of hymns, prayers, 
 myths, historical accounting, dissertations on science, and the nature 
 of reality, which date back at least 5,000 years. The nature of 
 matter, antimatter, and the make up of atomic structure are described 
 in the Vedas. The language of the Vedas is known as Sanskrit. The 
 origin of Sanskrit is not fully understood. Western scholars suggest 
 that it was brought into the Himalayas and thence south into India by 
 the southward migrations of the Aryan culture. Paramahansa Yogananda 
 and other historians however do not subscribe to that theory, pointing 
  out that there is no evidence within India to substantiate such 
 claims. 2 
 
 There are words in Sanskrit that describe concepts totally foreign to 
 the western mind. Single words may require a full paragraph for 
 translation into english. Having studied Sanskrit for a brief period 
 during the late 70's, it finally occurred to this writer that Tesla's 
 use of Vedic terminology could provide a key to understanding his view 
 of electromagnetism and the nature of the universe. But where did 
 Tesla learn Vedic concepts and Sanskrit terminology? A review of the 
 well known biographies by Cheney, Hunt and Draper, and O'Neil 3,4,5, 
 reveal no mention of Tesla's knowledge of Sanskrit. O'Neal however 
 includes the following excerpt from an unpublished article called Man's 
 Greatest Achievement; 
 
 "There manifests itself in the fully developed being , Man, 
 a desire mysterious, inscrutable and irresistible: to 
 imitate nature, to create, to work himself the wonders he 
 perceives.... Long ago he recognized that all 
 perceptible matter comes from a primary substance, or 
 tenuity beyond conception, filling all space, the Akasha or 
 luminiferous ether, which is acted upon by the life giving 
 Prana or creative force, calling into existence, in never 
 ending cycles all things and phenomena. The primary 
 substance, thrown into infinitesimal whirls of 
 prodigious velocity, becomes gross matter; the force 
 subsiding, the motion ceases and matter disappears, 
 reverting to the primary substance."
 
 According to Leland Anderson the article was written May 13th, 
 1907. Anderson also suggested that it was through association with 
 Swami Vivekananda that Tesla may have come into contact with Sanskrit 
  terminology and that John Dobson of the San Francisco Sidewalk 
 Astronomers Association had researched that association. 6
 
 Swami Vivekananda was born in Calcutta, India in 1863. He was 
 inspired by his teacher, Ramakrishna to serve men as visible 
 manifestations of God. In 1893 Swami Vivekananda began a tour of the 
 west by attending the Parliament of Religions held in Chicago. During 
 the three years that he toured the United States and Europe, 
 Vivekananda met with many of the well known scientists of the time 
 including Lord Kelvin and Nikola Tesla. 7 According to Swami 
 Nikhilananda;
 
 Nikola Tesla, the great scientist who specialized in the 
 field of electricity, was much impressed to hear from the 
 Swami his explanation of the Samkhya cosmogony and the theory 
 of cycles given by the Hindus. He was particularly struck by 
 the resemblance between the Samkhya theory of matter and 
 energy and that of modern physics. The Swami also met in New 
 York Sir William Thompson, afterwards Lord Kelvin, and 
 Professor Helmholtz, two leading representatives of western 
  science. Sarah Bernhardt, the famous French actress had an 
 interview with the Swami and greatly admired his teachings. 8
 
 It was at a party given by Sarah Bernhardt that Nikola Tesla probably 
 first met Swami Vivekananda. 9 Sarah Bernhardt was playing the part of 
 'Iziel' in a play of the same name. It was a French version about the 
 life of Bhudda. The actress upon seeing Swami Vivekananda in the 
 audience, arranged a meeting which was also attended by Nikola Tesla. 
 In a letter to a friend, dated February 13th, 1896, Swami Vivekananda 
 noted the following;
 
 ...Mr. Tesla was charmed to hear about the Vedantic Prana 
 and Akasha and the Kalpas, which according to him are the 
 only theories modern science can entertain.....Mr Tesla 
 thinks he can demonstrate that mathematically that force and 
 matter are reducible to potential energy. I am to go see him 
 next week to get this mathematical demonstration. 10
 
 Swami Vivekananda was hopeful that Tesla would be able to show that 
 what we call matter is simply potential energy because that would 
 reconcile the teachings of the Vedas with modern science. The Swami 
 realized that "In that case, the Vedantic cosmology [would] be placed 
 on the surest of foundations". The harmony between Vedantic theories 
 and and western science was explained by the following diagram;
 
 
 BRAHMAN = THE ABSOLUTE
 | |
 | |
 MAHAT OR ISHVARA = PRIMAL CREATIVE ENERGY
 |  |
 +---------+ +---------+ 
 PRANA and AKASHA = ENERGY and MATTER
 
 
 Tesla understood the Sanskrit terminology and philosophy and found 
 that it was a good means to describe the physical mechanisms of the 
 universe as seen through his eyes. It would behoove those who would 
 attempt to understand the science behind the inventions of Nikola Tesla 
 to study Sanskrit and Vedic philosophy. 
 
 Tesla apparently failed to show the identity of energy and matter. 
 If he had, certainly Swami Vivekananda would have recorded that 
 occasion. The mathematical proof of the principle did come until 
 about ten years later when Albert Einstein published his paper on 
 relativity. What had been known in the East for the last 5,000 years 
 was then known to the West. 
 
 Brahman is defined as the one self existent impersonal spirit; the 
 Divine Essence, from which all things emanate, by which they are 
 sustained, and to which they return. Notice that this is very similar 
 to the concept of the Great Spirit as understood by Native American 
 cultures. Ishvara is the Supreme Ruler; the highest possible 
 conception of the Absolute, which is beyond all thought. Mahat means 
 literally the Great One, and is also interpreted as meaning universal 
 mind or cosmic intelligence. Prana means energy (usually translated as 
 life force) and Akasha means matter (usually translated as ether). 
 Dobson points out that the more common translations for Akasha and 
 Prana are not quite correct, but that Tesla did understand their true 
 meanings.
 
 The meeting with Swami Vivekananda greatly stimulated Nikola Tesla's 
 interest in Eastern Science. The Swami later remarked during a lecture 
 in India, "I myself have been told by some of the best scientific minds 
 of the day, how wonderfully rational the conclusions of the Vedanta 
 are. I know of one of them personally, who scarcely has time to eat 
 his meal, or go out of his laboratory, but who would stand by the hour 
 to attend my lectures on the Vedanta; for, as he expresses it, they are 
 so scientific, they so exactly harmonize with the aspirations of the 
 age and with the conclusions to which modern science is coming at the 
 present time". 11
 
 
 TESLA AND LORD KELVIN
 
  William S. Thompson was one of the prominent scientists and engineers 
 of the 1800s. He developed analogies between heat and electricity and 
 his work influenced the theories developed by James Clerk Maxwell, one 
 of the founders of electromagnetic theory. Thompson supervised the 
 successful laying of the Trans Atlantic Cable and for that work was 
 knighted Lord Kelvin. Kelvin had endorsed Tesla's theories and proposed 
 system for the wireless transmission of electrical power. 12 FootNOTE-

 Tesla continued to study Hindu and Vedic philosophy for a number of 
 years as indicated by the following letter written to him by Lord 
 Kelvin.
 
 
  15, Eaton Place
 London, S.W.
 May 20, 1902
 
 Dear Mr. Tesla,
 
 I do not know how I can ever thank you enough for the 
  most kind letter of May, 10, which I found in my cabin in the 
 Lucania, with the beautiful books which you most kindly sent 
 me along with it: -"The Buried Temple", "The Gospel of 
 Bhudda", Les Grands Inities",  the exquisite edition of 
 Rossetti's "House of Life", and last but not least the 
 Century Magazine for June, 1900 with the splendid and 
 marvelous photographs on pp. 176, 187, 190, 191, 192, full of 
 electrical lessons.
 
 We had a most beautiful passage across the Atlantic, much 
 the finest I have ever had. I was trying hard nearly all the 
 way, but quite unsuccessfully, to find something definite as 
 to the functions of ether in respect to plain, old fashioned 
 magnetism. A propos of this, I have instructed the 
 publishers, Messrs. Macmillan, to send you at the Waldorf a 
 copy of my book (Collection of Separate Papers) on 
 Electrostatics and Magnetism. I shall be glad if you will 
 accept it from me as a very small mark of my gratitude to you 
 for your kindness. You may possibly find something 
 interesting in the articles on Atmospheric Electricity which 
 it contains.
 
 Lady Kelvin joins me in kind regards, and I remain,
 
 Yours always truly,
 
 Kelvin
 
 Thank you also warmly for the beautiful flowers 13
 
 
 TESLA AND RUSSELL
 
 Walter Russell was one of the most accomplished artists, sculptors, 
 writers and scientists of this century. His periodic chart of the 
 elements accurately predicted the location and characteristics of four 
 elements years before they were discovered in laboratories. These are 
 now known as Deuterium, Tritium, Neptunium, and Plutonium. Russell 
 apparently entered into a heightened state of awareness after being 
 struck by lightning. He began several weeks of drawing and writing 
 about the basic nature and make up of the physical universe. Russells' 
 family finally called the family doctor to determine if Russell should 
 be committed to an mental institution. The doctor, upon seeing the 
 results of Russells weeks of work, said that he did not know what 
 Russell was doing, but that he definitely was not mad.  
 
 Although the exact time and occasion of their meeting has not yet 
 been determined, Nikola Tesla and Walter Russell did meet and discuss 
 their respective cosmologies. 14 Tesla recognized the wisdom and power 
 of Russells' teaching and urged Russell to lock up his knowledge in a 
 safe for 1,000 years until man was ready for it. 15 
 
 
 WHY FREE ENERGY HASN'T HAPPENED YET
 COMMENTS, POSSIBILITIES AND SOCIO ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS
 
 Although Tesla did not accept many of the tenants of relativity and 
 quantum theory and never made the connection between matter and 
 energy, he did recognize the possibility of free and unlimited energy 
 as demonstrated by the following statement. 
 
 Can Man control [the ] grandest, most awe inspiring of all processes 
 in nature?...If he could do this, he would have powers almost unlimited 
 and supernatural... He could cause planes to collide and produce his 
 suns and stars, his heat and light. He could originate and develop 
 life in all its infinite forms....[Such powers] would place him beside 
 his creator, make him fulfill his ultimate destiny. 16
 
 We see that Tesla is asking a question, speculating, searching for an 
 answer. If Tesla had developed free energy sources or learned how to 
 manipulate space time and gravity, during the time of his most public 
 and productive years, (up until about 1920), he would have had answers 
 to those questions.
 
 Tesla's most misunderstood invention is popularly known as the "Death 
 Ray". It was simply a particle beam weapon which he proposed in 1937 
 and was fabricated under contracts with Alcoa Aluminum and the English 
 and Italian governments. 17 It used electrostatic propulsion 
 techniques and similar devices are being developed today by the 
 Strategic Defense Initiative Organization (SDIO) and the US Army 
 Strategic Defense Command. 18
 
 So we see that mankind has not yet harnessed the infinite power of 
 the universe as envisioned by Nikola Tesla. The question remains, why 
 not?
 
 Free energy devices, if they are feasible, are not about smaller 
 faster microcircuits or a bigger better mouse traps. This is a 
 technology which may revolutionize the socio-economic status quo on 
 planet Earth. At this moment the big pie is unevenly divided. One 
 quarter of the population on this rock, the third stone from the sun, 
 consumes three quarters of the yearly resource output. As one can 
 easily deduce, from a brief study of world affairs, there are about 
 three billion people who have just about had it with this scenario. 
 There are wars starvation and strife in every nook and cranny of the 
 planet. So what do we do about it?
 
 Spaceship Earth Needs A Flight Plan
 
 Either we divide the pie more evenly or we make the pie larger. The 
 first option requires that our standard of living must fall so that the 
 standard of living in the third world may rise. The second option 
 allows us to maintain our standard of living while we help raise the 
 standard of living of under privileged nations. This we must do. It 
 is our destiny. It is our responsibility. It is our final test.
 
 Thirty thousand people starve to death every day on this planet, most 
 of them are children. Nations fight nations, war is part of our lives. 
 What drives our economy in the western world, allows us to enjoy a high 
 standard of living, a life of leisure compared to our neighbors south 
 of the imaginary line called a border? Many answers both economic, 
 social, political, and spiritual can be given. We do know that the 
 standard of living that a nation enjoys is directly related energy 
 consumption.
 
 Energy drives the economies of nations and Tesla's life long goal was 
 to make electric power equally available to all people any where on 
 this planet. He continued to promote his plan for the wireless 
 transmission of power in the yearly interviews he gave on his birthday 
 as late as 1940. 19 Electrical power allows on site processing of raw 
 materials. Electrical power can run pumps from water wells in areas 
 affected by drought. Electrical power delivered to the poverty 
 stricken areas of the world can make the pie larger, can help bring 
 about the needed economic equality which is our birth right.
 
 Why hasn't power been made equally available to all people and 
 nations? Why haven't the much touted free energy devices described by 
 Tom Bearden, John Bedini, Bruce DePalma, and others ever materialized? 
 Perhaps because "easy things are seldom done for the same reason that 
 impossible things are rarely done: no one will pay for anything 
 believed to be easy or impossible". 20 Perhaps because when we talk 
 about power there is more there than one would initially visualize. 
 What we are talking about is personal power, national power, planetary 
 power, karmic power and the power of love. 
 
 The sages tell us that in order to enjoy power we have to let go of 
 power, to overcome ourselves. As an example this author can describe 
 one of his recent experiences. After a very successful symposium 
 celebrating the 100th year after Nikola Tesla arrived in the United 
 States 21, a non profit corporation, 501(c)(3), was formed specifically 
 to encourage and pursue research into the inventions and discoveries of 
 Nikola Tesla. Two years later, after a second symposium, several of 
 the founding members approached the board of directors with a proposal 
 to validate Tesla's claim that wireless transmission of power was 
 possible. Board members suggested that permission be obtained from the 
 FCC, an environmental impact statement be filed with the EPA, and we 
 should go form "our own non profit corporation". It was also 
 decided that since there was no procedure to cover research, the 
 organization could not be involved. 
 
 Another goal of the organization had been to establish a museum to be 
 named the Nikola Tesla Museum of Science and Technology. We proposed 
 that since 60 -70 billion dollars are given away to non profit 
 organizations annually, we had as good a chance as any other 
 organization for obtaining funding, for a museum or research. We 
 reasoned that:
 
 "Since only 16% of the museums in this country  are science 
 museums, this museum in honor of Nikola Tesla will help educate the 
 public in technological areas. With the need for economic 
 revitalization of industry in Colorado, 1986is the time to begin 
 supporting the scientific education of our region. With the current 
 statistics showing that the United States is falling behind the world 
 technologically, the effort to educate the public is becoming more 
 important, and the surge of public awareness of Nikola Tesla's 
 inventions makes him an appropriate namesake for a science and 
 technology museum." 23
 
 The board moved to table our proposal indefinitely.
 
 What had happened? Of the 15 - 20 people that had started the 
 organization only four remained as part of the governing body. Three 
 of those members were opposed to research. The collective mind of the 
 board of directors had become the antithesis of the momentum Tesla had 
 gained in his lifetime. Unlike the independent inventor and 
 businessman, the board was now composed of members who were bureaucrats 
 and paper pushers for Fortune 500 companies. Tesla was a vegetarian, 
 the board members all ate meat. Tesla did not ask for permission to be 
 inventive and strike out on bold new adventures, the board needed 
 approval from higher sources. The dichotomies were endless.
 
 Tesla's visions have been delayed for 89 years. The squabbling 
 started with Thomas Edison, J.P. Morgan and Nikola Tesla himself. 24 It 
 continues to this day. Perhaps the reason for the delay of wireless 
 power transmission or free energy devices lies even deeper within the 
 human psyche. Is it possible that we could compare the Tesla story to 
 a biblical story? Bruce Gordan thinks so. In Gordan's analysis 
 Tesla's attempt at building a prototype magnifying transmitter 
 parallels Genesis 11:1-9. 25 
 
 "The message; human curiosity and technological derring-do makes God 
 nervous; God demolishes project, confounds language". Gordan further 
 outlines the the scenario as follows:
 
 
 "ISOMORPHISM" 
 
 BIBLE STORY TESLA TALE
 
 Human Efforts Tesla Projects
 Tower of Babel Wardenclyffe Tower
 God Money (J.P. Morgan)
 
 Demolition and Confounding to maintain Withdrawal of Morgan's
 Status Quo of God drunk on power above, Financial Support and
 humanity groveling in ignorance below. subsequent suppression of
  Tesla's work in orthodox
 science & engineering circles
 Perpetuation of mediocre
 technology for energy
  generation, storage,distribu-
 tion, to maintain favorable
 cash flow for existing system
  for energy management by 
 forcing continued combustion
 of scarce fuels, keep 
 consumers, paying, paying,
  paying......
 
 
 "When everything is perfect, the right time shows up." 26 This is 
 equivalent to saying, "Absolute knowledge in the hands of one whose 
 heart is not yet tender, would be a terrible weapon. 27 We might postulate
 that technological developments do not occur until 
 the planet is ready. The recent examination of the theory of Gaia 
 credits the Earth with an intelligence. "Thousands of years ago, by 
 means of seeing, sorcerers became aware that the Earth was sentinent 
 and that its awareness could affect the awareness of humans." 28 By 
 implication of reciprocity the reverse could be true. The group or 
 collective unconscious is still struggling with the result of quantum 
 and relativity theory. We as a race were ready for nuclear power, 
 every thing was perfect and the right time showed up. Soon we will 
 have put the technology to good use or abandon it to insure our 
 survival as a species.
 
 
 SO WHAT DO YOU DO ABOUT IT 
 FREE ENERGY: CREATING AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME
 
 Wireless transmission of power and free energy have not happened yet, 
 perhaps we aren't ready, perhaps the Earth isn't ready. Pogo said it 
 best, " we have met the enemy and it is us." In the Jungian view of 
 collective unconscious, things happen when the time is right, we get 
 what we agree to. We need a flight plan. And that plan must realize 
 that,
 
 
 WHEN THE POWER OF LOVE
 
 OVERCOMES 
 
 THE LOVE OF POWER
 
 THERE WILL BE
 
  PEACE

 Mr. Toby Grotz, President, Wireless Engineering is an electrical 
 engineer and has 16 years experience in the field of geophysics, 
 aerospace and industrial research and design. While working for the 
 Geophysical Services Division of Texas Instruments and at the 
 University of Texas at Dallas, Mr. Grotz was introduced to and worked 
 with the geophysical concepts which are of importance to the wireless 
 transmission of power. As a Senior Engineer at Martin Marietta, Mr. 
 Grotz designed and supervised the construction of industrial process 
 control systems and designed and built devices and equipment for use in 
 research and development and for testing space flight hardware. Mr. 
 Grotz also worked for the public utility industry installing mini 
 computer based pollutant measuring data acquisition systems in fossil 
 fuel power plants and as a results engineer in a nuclear power plant. 
 Mr. Grotz organized and chaired the 1984 Tesla Centennial Symposium and 
 the 1986 International Tesla Symposium and was president of the 
 
 International Tesla Society, a not for profit corporation formed as a 
 result the first symposium. As Project Manager for Project Tesla, Mr. 
 Grotz aided in the design and construction of a recreation of the 
 equipment Nikola Tesla used for wireless transmission of power
