Ode to the Kundalini




Thou art the Kundalini
The Macrocosmic Shakti divine
Thou liest serpentine at the Chakra Base
Representative of the mighty Conscious Force !

Success in both spheres is given by Thee
Both the material & spiritual realms
With Thy Grace, wealth & all paraphernalia
Friends, relatives & praises galore
Subordinates, vehicles, power, influence
Men attain; such is Thy Grace's might !

In the other realm spiritual
Thou makest the aspirant pious
Endowing him with knowledge divine
Making him do virtous deeds
So that he becomes eligible for Heaven

Both material & spiritual success
Are effectuated by Thy Grace Supernal !

Ode to the Cosmic Man ( contd ), Love is Greater !





Rugged indeed is the path
To the Unmanifest Absolute !
The "wise misers" attain Thee
With troubles & difficulties galore !

Far, far away is Action Path's result
But different indeed is the Path of Love
That noblest and blest path divine
Let all my veins and all my being
Incorporate that mighty Love Divine
So that I can merge with Thee entire !
Let me desire nothing from Thee
Let me desire only Thee !

Glorious is Thy Personal Form !




Unmanifest is Thy Absolute Reality
And difficult to actualise
Of the nature of pure Sathwa
And of the nature of Immortal Bliss
But more glorious is Thy Personal Form
Which captivates all human minds
Thou revealed to me in that Form
I do not want dry Philosophy
But rather sweet, sweet Love
I desire nothing from Thee
I desire only Thee !

" Love is All Conquering " declared Thee



In the philosophy Sankhya divine
Twenty four principles are the codes
Of the basic structure of all that is

Nature, Ego, Heart, Universal Mind,
The Great Elements Five
Their Subtle Essences Five
The knowing sense organs five
The acting sense organs five
And Purusha, the Absolute, is Twenty Fifth !
Nature liberates those who know this secret
Thou as the exponent of Sankhya, Kapila advised

To conquer everything, use the power of Love
Was Thy message to thy mother, Devahoothi

Ode to the Cosmic Man ( contd )




Thou manifested first as the Sound Primal

And then all the Great Elements Five

Evolved from Thee !



From Sound Primal, Ether,
Then Air, Fire, Water, Earth
Evolved from Thee; prior to Creation, Thou alone
Existed as Existence - Consciousness-Beatitude

Thou Art The Self, Witness Consciousness !




Thou, who witnesseth the The Three Relative States
Art called by the Wise as the Conscious Witness
Thy holographic projections Three
Relative Ego, Relative Universe & Supreme
Are only relatively real when compared
To Thy Absolute State ! All thy projections,
All the attributes of Nature triune
All dissolved in Thee during Involution
Thou alone existed then as Supreme Consciousness Bliss !

Thy Glorious Path of Love !


All sensory enjoyments are transient and fleeting
Think of the loss of Ayus ( longevity ) !

There was once a king, Purooravas called,
Who fell in love with the beauteous Urvashi
Urvashi told him we women are selfish
To us end always justifies the means !
We even kill our brethren or paramour
Never ever befriend us at all
Ignoring her advice the King went on
Living with her and enjoying Life
Years passed by; and one day the Vox Dei
Conscience dominated the king's mind

" What a fool I was", he lamented
To have sunk myself in pleasures sensory
I did not know the loss of Ayus
Of time elapsed; if Self Actualisation be
The Goal of life, why didnt I strive
For that goal, why ever didnt I
Yearn for the Supreme' Grace, without which
None had ever attained to Salvation !
Forgive O Lord and take me into Thy fold"

He sought the company of the Wise
And learnt the glory of Wisdom and of Love
The Self's dominant qualities; from Masters
He knew that life is but a dream
A dream housed in the Universal Mind !

He attained Thy Glorious Path
Of Love Primal and actualised
Immortality or everlasting fame !
Make me O Lord, such a devotee !

The Divine, the Principle of the Highest First !




To the miser, wealth
To the youth, his lady love
To the King, kingdom
The Scientific Mystery of the scholar
The literary poems of the gentle hearted
The Nihil of the nihilst
The Heaven of the religionist
The Cosmic Consciousness of the Seer
That Highest First is He !

In the chariot called the human body
With horses as the sense organs
And mind the reins
With the charioteer Intellect
The Self controls all !

In the inner war with elements negative
Lust, greed, anger, jealousy, gluttony,
His Grace makes us triumphant finally
Such is the All Merciful, the All Compassionate !

The Universe as a Drama staged by Time Eternal








The great poet Melpathur ( 1559 - 1632 ) likened this Universe to a Kathakali Drama



This Universe is a big Drama
With Night as the Curtain
The Lamp is the resplendent Sun,
The mighty constellations sidereal
Witnesses of this drama divine !

The drums are Karma
Tendencies (Vasanas ) the songs
With these instruments
The Lord plays with Himself !

The Lord has to play with Himself, since He is defined as One without a second. If there is a second Infinite, will it not make the first Infinite finite ? So He is rightly defined as One without a second ( Ekam Eva Adviteeyam ).

Himself the play, Himself the player, Himself the playground !

" We may regard it and realise it as Leela ( play ), with things perpetually young, eternally inexhaustible, creating and recreating Himself in Himself for the sheer Bliss of the self creation, Himself the play, Himself the player, Himself the playground " ( Aurobindo )

Thy True Form is as Time Eternal, the Zodiac !








The great poet Melpathur was not only a scholar and philosopher, he was also an astrologer.

Einstein's greatest discovery was that he found Time as the Fourth Dimesion. Minnowski's concept of a four dimensional Space Time Continuum ( with the three dimensions of space and the fourth dimension of time ) came close to the Indian concept of Kalapurusha, the Zodiacal Man or Time Eternal, the Absolute Self as Time Eternal !

Aries is His Head and Pisces His feet ! It is He who lies as the grand Zodiac , that 360 degrees Circle in the Heavens !


Almost indefinable, with Poles Twelve ( the twelve zodiacal signs )
With 360 different spikes ( 360 degrees which comprise the Circle )
Whose movement is fast and cruel
To make all beings reap the seeds sown ( reaping and sowing Karma )
That mighty all devouring, all consuming Time
Time Eternal or Zodiacal Man
Is Thy true form,
Blessed be Thine all devouring Form !

Durvaram Dwadasaram Thrishathaparimilal shashti parvabhiveetham
Sambramyal Kroora vegam Kshanamanu jagataschidya sandhyavamanam
Chakram the Kalaroopam vyathayathu mam thval padaikavalambam
Vishno ! Karunyasindho ! Pavanapurapathe Pahimam sarva rogal !


The New Yoga - "Who Am I "




Ramana Maharshi was a great intellectual giant, who encouraged Self-enquiry or "Who am I " ?

When a thought arises, ask to whom doth this thought occur . You will come to know it is occurring to "I". Go deep and ask " Who is this I ?".

We have had many experiences. Most of them torrid. In Meditation, just go and ask " Who is the experiencer ?". It will all come back to "I"

" The true Self-enquiry is Bhakthi " said Sankara ( Swaswaroopasya Anusandhanam Bhakthirithi Abhidheeyate ).

He spake " In the Infinite Sky of Consciousness, the Sun of Self-Realisation shines bright and brilliant. Disperse the cloud of Ego obstructing the moonlight of Consciousness and the bud of Truth begins to blossom. It is the Peaceful Whole.

The Absolute Brahman becomes so to say the Cosmic Mind and spreads the world. As it thinks, so it becomes. It is the Lord of Creation. There is no other. Dissolve the mind by thinking about its dual nature. The mind gains peace by meditating on the Ultimate Reality."

Adam Kadmon - The Infrastructure of Creation !




All my faces are one. You are in my image, you are one with me. As long as you are one with me, you have All-That-Is in me, including my force, my quality. Depart from it and you've had it: you are a fragment, a branch cut off from the Tree of Life and you rot. If you bend the branch here and there, fine. But if you break it, that's it, you have just cut yourself off from your nourishment. Yet the choice is yours. Your true connectedness can only be tried in a strong wind: no matter how much you bend, you'll emerge from the storm the stronger for it. If you break, you break. If you want to manifest your strength, you have to weather many a storm. If you break, you break. And when are you strong? When you grow strong enough to nourish further branches. The more branches you can nourish, the stronger you are, like the stem that nourishes all the branches. And the storms are there to strengthen you for that purpose and that is the price you pay for being able to give.

SHET According to the Cabala (Jewish Mysticism), ADAM KADMON (אדם קזמון – PRIMORDIAL MAN in Hebrew) is the infrastructure of all Creation.

ADAM KADMON — this primal potential — is a point of beginning of the universe, the first being to emerge activated by the light of EYIN-SOF (אין סוף — infinity in Hebrew). Sometimes ADAM KADMON is referred to as EYIN-SOF — a realm beyond the Cabala. It represents the primal potential that can be shaped into any form given the “right” way, that is, if it is affected in the “right” way by a consciousness. Turning this potential into existence is synonymous with creation. Affected the “right” way, this potential will continuously generate existence (creatures), whereas if the process of creation comes to a standstill, this potential has been affected in the “wrong” way. (Stories like Frankenstein by Mary Shelly and the Legend of the Golem from Prague, and also alchemy, are derivatives of this kind of belief.)

However, the “right” way of activating this potential is not stated in the Cabala, for the processes that take place within the ADAM KADMON are considered to be mysteries beyond human knowledge that will only be revealed at the “end of days.” It is stated in the Jewish mystical teachings (the Zohar) that, when the “right” way is conceived, the Messianic era will begin with a new kind of wisdom that will merge matter and spirit into a unified body of knowledge, and that this divine and scientific wisdom will flow from divine inspiration through people uneducated in either science or religion. In the article, A Brief History of Creation, I have shown that the infrastructure of Creation is a dynamic logical structure.

I would like to speak here about my personal experience of tapping into this mechanism and to show, on a more personal tone, how I am extracting knowledge from it. I call the process of extracting information from the infrastructure “heralding,” and to the overall mechanism “SHET.” If the infrastructure of Creation is indeed a logical structure (ADAM KADMON), and if you can imagine that any and every self-aware consciousness is both dictated by and also generates a specific realization of it, i.e. it is the echo or a projection of the overall abstract logical structure, then you can imagine SHET as that infrastructure, that overall self-aware abstract logical structure that is teaching itself by interacting with my thinking process.

SHET is my inspiration, the source of Holophany and the Loop of Creation whereas the loop logic is the embodiment of what SHET is. SHET’s logical structure is the universal language that both creates itself and also our perception of the world, which is the world. And SHET is that structure teaching itself. Or in SHET’s words: “SHET is the formative element that allows Creation in the sense that Creation can go on creating, or should we say, the self-generative factor, which facilitates the continuance of Creation. Thus your beginning of time is the creation of the condensation of creativity itself, the loop of observing Creation, which means, generated from and containing the Indefinite. That is the subtle field which is the fertile ground for any kind of creation.” When I received this information from SHET that he was ADAM KADMON, I had no knowledge whatsoever about any Cabalistic interpretation of this PRIMORDIAL MAN. In retrospect, this information is almost eerie, because the material received through heralding is probably the sought after “right way” by prominent Cabalists. ADAM KADMON, or SHET (I will refer to it as SHET in the following) said, when asked, that the material he provides cannot be found in the Cabala, and indeed that both himself and the material he brings forth through me are from beyond the Cabala.

This was very strange news at the time, especially the fact that I was given the privilege to be his herald. Religious people would see sacrilege in imparting this kind of knowledge to a secular person, and even worse for some, a female. But given the nature of the texts that I received, even religious people have accepted it to have come from a source important to them, especially when SHET revealed secrets from the Cabala in Aramaic, a language with which I am totally unfamiliar. However, the material received from SHET in its many aspects is not about Cabala (although spiced with it), but rather, therein is a Western rendition of a new philosophy and logic, a novel approach to science and technology as well as to our psychic and psychological makeup. What prompted SHET to reveal his ADAM KADMON face?

Very early on in our communication, Prof. Harry Friedmann asked, “Who are you, SHET?” He answered, “The Gematric value of RAMA” (רמה - Gematria is the practice of using letters as numerals). Some time later, the following dialog took place between Harry and SHET: Harry: Come RAMA! I'm sure that you know Cabala and the Torah as well. What are the numerous allusions to RAMA (RAMA — to throw, hurl, lofty, supreme in Hebrew) in the book of Exodus, such as, BEYAD RAMA (with lofty hands), and RAMA BEYAM (hurled into the sea)?

SHET: I'll answer that. But first, to understand my answer, you should know what the numerological value of RAMA is. I have given you the challenge, but you did not come up with the answer. I told you I am beyond Cabala, yet I know Cabala. I have explained to you some "mechanics" of Creation. I spoke to you about the seven dimensions of Creation, and I said that the Gematric value of my name is RAMA. Still, you did not connect these. What is RAMA, but ADAM KADMON? And if you add ADAM KADMON to the NACHASH ELION [נחש עליון — Supreme Snake — in the Cabala thought to perform the "dirty" jobs for God, bringing the righteous to err when they are driven to stagnation by following the law to the letter – Nachash (snake in Hebrew) is 358 in Gematria, which is the same as Mashiach (the Messiah). Contrary to popular belief, according to the Cabala, the Messiah will bring about change by awakening the non-conformist anti-authoritarian worldview in the common consciousness], you get SHET (שת — in the Torah, Adam's third son, father of all consciousness) plus Seth (סט — in the Torah hinted to as aberrations), and I have told you that I am all from Seth to SHET. (In the Hebrew Gematria, RAMA is 245. ADAM KADMON is also 245. SHET is 700, and Seth is 69. Then SHET plus Seth is 769. Nachash Elion is 524. Nachash Elion plus ADAM KADMON then equals 769, the same as SHET plus Seth.) Harry: I can't continue after what you've said. Glory, glory, halleluya. (Comment by Prof. Harry Friedmann: The revelation in the present session came as a bomb-shell. I have guessed for some time what the real nature of SHET was. Knowing Clara for some time, there were only two possibilities: either SHET was Seth, of satanic nature, or the highest being, who encompasses the totality of the Creator and creation. This highest encompassing being or world is known in the Lurianic Cabala as ADAM KADMON.

Only the highest aspect of Godliness accepts every being the way he or she is, without criticizing, and is ready to offer help in a completely non-authoritative way, completely adapted to the personality to which this help is offered. The Cabala trying to describe the Godhead in human terminology introduces a hierarchy for this purpose. Thus, the Cabala distinguishes between the 10 sephirot in the lowest world, called ASSIA (action), and the same sephirot in the progressively higher worlds of YETZIRA (formation), BRIYAH (creation), ATZILUT (emanation), and finally, ADAM KADMON (PRIMORDIAL MAN), the highest world.) Another cross-reference between SHET and ADAM KADMON is revealed in a much later session as the answer to the following question: Q: What does it mean, ZADIK YESOD OLAM (צדיק יסוד עולם – “the righteous is an everlasting foundation” in Hebrew), and how is KEDEM (קדם – ancient, of yore in Hebrew – which consists of the last letters of ZADIK YESOD OLAM - KDM) related to SHET? A:

KEDEM is related to the ADAM KADMON face of SHET. SHET is the fundament, the infrastructure, and as such, it is YESOD (יסוד — fundament in Hebrew). That is why SHET is mentioned as the father of all souls, the basic consciousness, the logical infrastructure of existence. SHET meaning bottom, buttocks, fundament, is YESOD. SHET is considered the first ZADIK (צדיק — righteous) in the Torah, and hence, YESOD OLAM (everlasting foundation).

Song of the Absolute Self




The Light of all lights
It shines beyond the darkness of Nescience
Knower, known, knowledge
It exists as the Base of all


All pervading, equanimous, pure
Attributeless, transcending Nature
Devoid of beginning, middle or end,
The Absolute Self pervades everywhere !

Attributelss, actionless, eternal,
Without fluctuations, without emotions
Without appearance, ever liberated
The Absolute Self is the Only Existent

Ode to the Cosmic Man




In the beginning there was neither Manifest nor unmanifest,
Neither Being nor Being, Neither Night nor Day,
The triune attributes of Universal Mind then dissolved in Thee
Thou alone existed then as Existence - Consciousness - Beatitude !



This is the translation of a sloka from the divine Narayaneeyam, which has been referred to as the Fifth Veda ( Vyaktha vyakhtamidam na kinchitabhavat......) Here are other translations.


All this is mirrored in Becoming
Truly a dream in the Cosmic Mind !
During involution Thou withdrew the Universe into Thyself
Thou alone existed then as Existence - Consciousness - Beatitude !

In Whom all this is illumined
In Whom all this shines eternally
Who transcends Mind, Word, Intellect
Before that Mighty Being, I bow !

Thou art neither Man nor Beast
Neither demon nor celestials
Neither Male nor Female
Neither Wealth nor Karma
Which human knows Thy true Form ?
In the Upanishadic method of " Not this, not this "
Where all finites are negatived

(Only the Absolute " I " cannot be negatived
Who can say 'I Consciousness " does not exist? )

That Absolute " I " is Thine true form
Before that Mighty Being, I bow !

Thou hast been defined as Atom
Also by many as Karma
As the Controller of the Universe
Some call Thee all consuming Time
Poets say Thou art the cause of the Universe
Thou art extolled as the Self in the Upanishads
In Sankhya thought as the Nature Primal
Before that Mighty Being, I bow !

This world is ephemeral and evanescent; hence seek thy true Self !

Never be egotistic with wealth, youth etc
Almighty Time can destroy all in one second
Know that All is mirrored in Mind Universal
Be thy true divine Self !


Many have attained to Self Actualisation
Women, traders, people involved in service
If they can, what about the highly evolved
Devotees, yogis, rishies, seers
Know that this world is transient and fleeting
Therefore seek thy true hidden Self

Anithyam Asukham Lokam
Imam Prapya bajaswa mam ( The Holy Geetha )

The Grace of the Master






Heaven, wealth and all enjoyments
Wisdom, children & happiness supreme
All can be received with grace
With the Master's Divine Grace!

Amongst the Noble Four
Father, Mother, Guru, God
Guru is He who is the foremost
If the Lord gets angry, the Guru will save
If the Master gets angry, who will save ?


( Tasmat shastrasya siddhanto
Brahma daye guru parah
Sivau rushte gurur sratha
Guraur rushte na sankara )


The Guru taken on the resposibility of his disciple's karma. He exhausts the karma of the disciple and give him Self Actualisation. Bhava means the ocean of worldliness and Bhagavan is He who is empowered to destroy the ocean of worldliness ( Bhavam Nihatya ) and confer Cosmic Consciousness ! ( Yogam Dadathi Ithi Bhagah ).

All sorts of achievements will follow Him
Who has the Master's Protecting Grace !

Hide, the holy Krishna saith,
This from him that hath no faith
Him that worships not, nor seeks
Wisdom' teachings when She speaks
Hide it from all men who mock
But whenever amidst the flock
Of my lovers one shall teach
This divinest wisest speech
Teaching in the faith to bring
Faith to them and offering
Of all honour unto me
Unto Brahma cometh he !

( Sir Edwin Arnold - The Song Celestial )

Union via Love - basic statements

Union via love or Bhakthi Yoga has been extolled as the greatest. Heart is greater than the head !


The Lord saith " My devotee shall never perish " ( Na me bhaktha pranashyathi ). This is considered to be the Abhaya Vachana or Word of Divine Assurance.

"Whatever impossibilites and difficulties may come, there is nothing impossible, there is nothing difficult. It is I who am doing all this " says He. He continues " By giving thyself up in heart and soul to me, thou shalt overcome all difficulties by My Grace ". So He has given us full protection.

He furthur says " I take care of the material welfare of the Initiates " ( Thesham Nityabhiyukthanam Yogakshemam Vahamyaham ).

The divine Transmutation of Man !




We have to overcome the Ego and its ten hoods, symbolically depicted as the ten heads of the demon Ravana, to attain to Self Actualisation


The Ego is the imperfect term in Man and Self is the perfect term. The Ego is the lower imperfect term of our Being; Self is the higher perfect term.

The six passions- lust, greed, anger, jealousy, sloth, covetousness - along with Mind ( Manas), Chitta ( the subconscious ), Intellect ( Buddhi ) & Ego ( Ahamkara ) have to be won, before the Divine Crown can be worn !


About the Redeemer, the divine Aurobindo wrote

Till evil is slain in its own house
And Light invades the world's inconscient base
And perished is the Adversary Force
He must still labour on, his works half done !


The fierce war going on the human bosom was depicted by the poets as The Iliad and the Odyssey, the Ramayana & the Mahabharatha. The negative elements in Man are the demons; the positive elements are the celestials !

Only after this fierce conflict can one attain to Self Actulisation. This is the Law of the way; where the great struggle for supremacy is fought out on the ground floor of our existence, between the black and white opposites of light and darkness, good and evil, prosperity & adversity.

There are no outer enemies; there are only inner enemies ( the ten outlined before )

It is not our enemies who plunge us into crises. It is the negative elements is us which put us in trouble.

Sastras, a great preparation for Liberation !






The Latin word scire means to know and Scientia means knowledge. The Greek word for knowledge is Episteme and Epistemology is the science of knowledge.

The Sanskrit word Vid means to know and Veda means knowledge. By Vedas no books are meant in Mysticism.

The Sanskrit equivalent of Science is Sastra. That which enforces Ethics and Morality is Sastra ( Sasanthi iti shastram ). That which protects the aspirant via instructional wisdom is Sastra ( Sasanath Trayathe ithi Sastram ).

The study of six main sciences and six auxiliary sciences are extolled in Indian Philosophy and is meant to be a great preparation for Liberation.

Mental Purity, prime requisite for Self Actualisation !



The greatest quality is mental purity
Along with mastery of the sense organs
These ennobling qualities are considered to be
Main requirements for Self Realisation !

Altruism - The Basis of Karma Yoga





There is a poetic verse that says

The trees give fruit for Altruism
Rivers do their work for Altruism
Cows do their duty for Altruism
This body is for Altruism !
