 nature. 



Space having resulted from the interaction of 

 the positive and negative currents of Akdsha, 

 there was room for locomotion; and the spheres 

 of Vdyu appeared next and began to whirl in the 

 Akdshic vortices, born of the union of the Akdshic 

 currents. Again I must refer to the illustrations 

 of Professor Loeb's biological work in the Septem- 

 ber, 1905, Cosmopolitan; for, as far as that spark 

 of laboratory-created life progressed, it corrobor- 

 ates the Hindu revelation of the evolution of the 

 Tattvas, and the law of their several activities 

 and influences. 



After Fdyu, the next need was heat to expand 

 the air, therefore we find that the mingling of 

 Vdyu vibrations with 'Akdsha produces Tejas vibra- 

 tions of light which generate heat, and which man- 

 ifest their presence in this dual character. 

 Through the action of heat upon air, water is 

 formed, hence Apas vibrations were the next re-
