THE EARTH – FROM GAYATRI TO VEDAS
 
Gayatri, the first formulation of the astronomical derivations of the universe in relation to the earth address the planet from its formative period in its present state. Nomenclature of earth in Gayatri system is Bhu , Bhuva and  UrVa.

Bhu refers to the state of the earth when it was merely a matter as it had segregated, and Bhuva is the state where by atmosphere was formed. As the earth developed a drainage system and water bodies were formed, it accrued stability in terms of its movement and attained consistency in in cyclic process and hence the name urVa or Urvi was coined.
