The '''Microvita theory''' is a theory that in its general features was first introduced in 1986 through a series of lectures by the [[:wikipedia:India|India]]n [[:wikipedia:Philosophy|philosopher]] and social reformer [[Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar]] (1921–1990).<ref group=note>Between 1955 and 1990 the author wrote in [[:wikipedia:English language|English]], [[:wikipedia:Bengali_language|Bengali]] and [[:wikipedia:Hindi|Hindi]. He wrote in the name "Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar" when treating [[:wikipedia:Sociology|sociology]], [[:wikipedia:Economics|economics]], [[:wikipedia:Philology|philology]] and various other subjects, and in the name ""Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrti"" when focusing on spiritual topics. Many of his books he gave as dictations; others were compiled from his discourses, some of them in small pocket-books.</ref> These discourses and others given up to 1989 were compiled in the book ''[[Microvitum in a Nutshell]]''. | |||
== Definition and introduction == | |||
The term "Microvita" is plural for "Micro-vitum" and literally means "micro-life". According to this intuitional theory microvita are entities which come within the realms both of physicality and of psychic expression. They are smaller and subtler than physical [[:wikipedia:atom|atom]]s and [[:wikipedia:subatomic particle|subatomic particle]]s, and in the [[:wikipedia:psychic|psychic]] realm they may be subtler than mind–stuff, and contribute to "pure consciousness".{{sfn|Dalal|2011|p=325}} The author predicts that they will soon be recognized by conventional science.{{sfn|Sarkar|1991 third ed.}} | |||
According to the Dutch ''microvita'' researcher Henk de Weijer "''microvita'' are tiny little creative [[:wikipedia:Catalysis|catalysing]] agents. They build [[:wikipedia:atom|atom]]s of [[:wikipedia:matter|matter]], [[:wikipedia:biology|biology]] and [[:wikipedia:mind|mind]], while cooperating with the characteristics of [[:wikipedia:subatomic particles|subatomic particles]] and pure [[:wikipedia:energy|energy]]".{{sfn|de Weijer|Nov. 2009}} | |||
Starting from the basic concept expressed by Sarkar in his discourses{{sfn|Sarkar|1991 third ed.}}, the scholar Richard Gautier (aka Ratnesh) highlighted the key involvement of ''microvita'' in the structural organization of energy for the creation and maintenance of structures. He wrote: "...without ''microvita'', no physical structure can exist. This because without ''microvita'', energy or ''[[:wikipedia:prana|prana]]'' cannot be organized to become vital energy and create or maintain the existence of a structure."{{sfn|Ratnesh (Richard Gautier)|1988|p=59}} | |||
