Know then that Being and Becoming both
Hath no beginning !
That all qualities
Are Nature born ! ( Sir Edwin Arnold's translation, The Song Celestial )

We will define Being and Becoming here. These terms are much used in Philosophy.

There are two types of Reality, Relative Reality and Absolute Reality. Both are real in their fields.
Being is Absolute Being, Absolute Reality.
Becoming is Relatve Being, Relative Reality.

Both are beginningless, saith the Lord. Both Prakriti and Purusha. We have to , in order to study Vedanta Sastra, distinguish these two Realities, the two Realities which are ultimately One.
If we go to a higher dimension, we will find that nothing exists but He !

"He is Timeless and all that is in Time, He is Spaceless and all that is in Space. He is Causality and the Cause and the Effect. Brahman, the ishwara, is all This by His Yoga Maya ! For we find, that the Indeterminate teems with mutations and differentiae. Being turns into Being, but is always Itself and other than Its Becomings. The One becomes an innumerable mutitude. The Universal individualises Itself and the Individual Universalises Itself" - Aurobindo, Life Divine.

In the Alipore Bomb case, Aurobindo was on trial. Then the Divine Voice told Him. " It is I who am doing all this. Know that there is nothing impossible, nothing difficult"

The Voice continued " Now look at the prosecuting counsel". Aurobindo looked at the prosecuting counsel and He saw Lord Krishna.. "Now look at the Judge". He saw the Lord sitting there !

Then He later said that the Universe is His Play, one of the Rhythms of Brahman, the Absolute, the Lord playing in the world as Sat Chit Ananda !

Guruvayur4u

                                           

Without Bridal Mysticism, without Bhakti Yoga, can any one actualise the Absolute Self ? No !

So we started a Bhakti Yoga site, www.guruvayur4u.com. This site deals with devotion to the Guru or the Master.

Even though Self Actualisation is a selfish desire ! Just hear what the worldly, layman told the Yogi

While the masses are sunk in Ignorance
You want to scale the Eternal's peaks !
To immerse yourself in Bliss transcendental
Isnt thy desire selfish to the core ?

The Fivefold Pranic Energy !

This is the Fivefold Pranic Energy. Prana, Apana, Samana, Vyana and Udana. We have the statement ' Pancha Prana Prabhavanti Tasmat", that is the Fivefold Pranic Energy started from Thee.

 Prana is the breath of life and moves in the upper parts of the body. It brings the Universal Life Force into the physical system and distributes itself.

The second, Apana, is the breath of Death. for it gives the Vital Force out of the body.


The third, Samana, regulates both these forces. Equalises and maintains equilibrium


The fourth, Vyana, distributes vital energies throughout the body.


 The Fifth, Udana, moves upwards from the body to the crown and is a regular channel between the worlds of Matter and Spirit !

God not a ball of cheese !

People think God is a ball of cheese and He is there to give us cheese. He normally gives the Cross to Good and the throne to Evil. Crooks thriving and good people suffering. We cannot say we are good people either. Ask our enemies.............

At least Dhoni was realistic yesterday. He told his team mates " God is not coming to save you, fight it out ". And the young Indian team fought it out and India lifted the CT13 and Dhoni became the first captain ever to lift three World Cups!  That is manliness, which was sadly missing in the Indian teams of yore !  

Everything is enveloped by Negativity, Sarva Arambha hi doshena dhoomenagnirir Avritha, says the Lord in the BG. For everything the negative aspect is there. There is a general charge that Astrologer emphasise the negative aspect more than the positive ! This is not true. I always deal with the positive aspect !

Of Buddhism and Hinduism

The Cosmic Consciousness of SCI & TM is the Nibbana which Buddhism speaks  of  and the Samadhi of the Hindus.

There are two types of Samadhi - Savikalpa and Nirvikalpa, Cosmic Consiousness and Unity Consciousness, the Fifth and Seventh States.

Now Buddhism is a formidable system of Philosophy, which deals with the causes of Sorrow and its cessation.Buddha was indeed one of the greatest philosophers.

Now jumping to Cosmic Consciousness is not easy, it requires years of preparation and meditation.

Jnana Yoga is Union via Wisdom and these concepts and experiences belong to Wisdom.

Now Bhakti Yoga is the Union via Love, where the Self is worshipped as the Quintessence of Love. Now this Yoga is predominant in Hinduism, as Masters state that Love is greater than Intelligence.

Wisdom is great, but Love is greater !

We repeat, the Fourfold Yoga is the best path. We find in Christiantiy, Theology or Dvaitha is more dominant. Also in Islam. More Theology, less Philosphy. Of course there is Philosophy in these two, as Gnosticism and Sufism. But Theology is more dominant.

After you study all the great religions of the world, you will have to accept Universal Love.Any system which does not incorporate Universal Love or Union via Universal Love will not have much followers. 

Leela, a better term than Maya. !

"Leela includes the idea of Maya and exceeds it"  - Aurobindo.

The word Maya, contains within itself, a devastating simplicity of nullification. ( Ho Ho, everything is Maya. Why should I work ? )

This is His Leela, Himself the Play, Himself the Player, Himself the Playground !

We may regard and realise it as Leela, the magicinan's Joy, creating and recreating Himself in Himself for the sheer bliss of that self creation !

Grape Juice protects the Heart !

It is said that a glass of grape juice keeps the Cardiologist away.

The resveratrol present in the seeds and skin of grapes and the flavonoids are responsible for this phenomenon.

Grapes , whether it is green, red or black, do reduce B P.

The antioxidants present in grapes removes free radicals ! Grapes is undoubtedly a divine fruit !

Astro Meteorology is right !

Despite criticism that Thula Varsha or the North East Monsoon is far away, she is dot on time. It rained heavily in Trichur yesterday. It rained heavily in Madras the day before.

Tamil Nadu receives more rains than Kerala in this North East Monsoon phase. In Kerala rains are less this year, with the result we have unwanted power cuts. 

We hope it pours heavily again. If not Kerala is in for more power cuts. 

The N E Monsoon has a direct bearing on the economy, as Mr Monsoon is the Finance Minister of India !

The Absolute is equal and equanimous !

The world is overcome, aye, even here

By such that fix their faith on Unity

The sinless Brahma dwells in Unity

And they in Brahma



- Geetha



Ihaiva thairjitha sargo
Esham samyo sthitham manah
Nirdosham hi samam Brajma
Thasmad Brahmani the shithah

This is becoming a Sthitha Prajna, one whose Consciousness is established in the Absolute Brahman.

About Samam Brahma( The Absolute is equal and equanimous ) , Aurobindo said " We are confronted by a mighty Energy of infinite Existence and infinite Activity, pouring itself into limitless Space and eternal Time, before whose balance the grandiose product of aeons seems seems nothing but the dust of a moment. This mighty Energy is an equal and impartial mother and in the mighty term of the Geetha, Samam Brahma !"

Bhagavan Patanjali and Yoga Sutras

In His Yoga Sutras, Patanjali spelt out the principles of Cosmic Union.



Transcending the three relative states of Waking ( Jagrat ), Dreaming ( Swapna ) and Dremless Sleep ( Sushupthi ), there exists a Fourth State of Consciousness ( proved conclusively in Dr Keith Wallace's PhD Thesis " The physiological effects of Transcendental Meditaton", UCLA. 1975 and published in the Scientific American ).

This Fourth State is known in Sanskrit as Thureeya. Transcendental Consciousness is Thureeya and Cosmic Consciousness, the Fifth State, is known as Thureeyatheetha in Yogic scriptures.

Bhagavan Patanjali was an incarnation of the Lord. The Lord in His Bounty, incarnated as Patanjali to reveal to humanity the Wisdom of Yoga Sastra.

Later, Aurobindo integrated all the four systems of Yoga - Bhakti, Jnana, Karma and Raja - and called it the Integral Yoga.


In the early hours of morning, I meditate
On the Absolute Self, which alone exists
Which is of the nature of Being-Knowledge-Bliss
Which is the end of our evolutionary journey
Which transcends the relative states triune
I am that partless, undifferentiated Brahman
And not this assemblage apparent
Of matter envelopments, bound by Nescience !

Pratha smarami hrudi samsphura atma thathvam
Sat Chit Sukham Paramahamsa Gathim Thureeyam
Yad swapna jagara sushupta mavethi nithyam

Tad Brahma nishkalam aham na cha bhoothasangha ! !

The divine objective of the Fourfold Yoga

The object of our Fourfold Yoga is self-perfection, as Yoga is the Art of Conscious Self finding !

We are the centers and knots of Divine Consciousness, as this world is a movement of Brahman in His own being. The Universe is one of the rhythms of Brahman, His play with His own conscious delight, with the infinities of existence and the splendours ofKnowledge. He alone exists in se, free, absolute, eternal and perfect, He who is self ruler ( swarat ) and all ruler ( samrat ). We are the self multiplications of that conscious Delight, thrown into being to be His playmates in the eternal Vrindavan, which is the Universe. This world is merely a formula, a rhythm and a symbol system expressing the Lord to Himself in His own self consciousness. We are like Him, in our outward being, terms of that formula, symbols of that system and notes of that rhythm and in our inward Being, one with His eternal essence, with Absolute Being-Knowledge-Bliss, with Sat Chit Ananda. Let us lead forward the Lord's movement, play out His play, work out His formula, execute His harmony and express Him through ourselves in His grand system, by His Grace. This is our joy and self fulfillment and the culminating point of the Evolution of Consciousness of humanity.

We have to work out perfection and accomplish harmony. But we find that here we are confronted by the negative qualities. Ignorance, imperfection, gried, limitation, matter etc are merely the first terms of that formula. We have to reinterpret the formulary to find out the inner esoteric meaning. Why the negative qualities, when He has been defined as Positive ? These negative qualities are merely the initial discords of that Grand Musician's harmony.

Our aim is to construct perfection out of imperfection, to find infinity out of limitation, immortality in lieu of death, Bliss out of this sorrow of the temporal, Self Knowledge out of this welter of Ignorance and to discover Spirit out of this ocean of inconscient Matter. The noble objective of the Fourfold Yoga, therefore, is to work out this divine end for ourselves and for our brethren, so that this Earth becomes a Paradise of Bliss.

Kabbalah, the Western Yoga

In the West Mysticism still exists as Gnosticism, Free Masonry, Rosicrucianism etc. Most of the English poets or philosophers we quoted belong to these philosophic groups.

Gnostics are vegetarians, they indulge in Meditation and Prayer and believe in Reincarnation. Gnosticism is based on the Kabalah or Jewish Mysticism. Philip Gardiner states that Jews are Indian philosophers. They are known in Indian Philosophy as Kalanis. Judaism and Hinduism are similar. Old Testament is same as Vedas, Kabalah same as Yoga etc.

Gnosticism, Sufism, Zen, Kabbalah - all these are nothing but Yoga.

Says Albert Pyke about Gnostics

' The Gnostics derived their ideas from Plato and Philo, from the Zend Avesta, the Kabbalah and the sacred books of India and Egypt and thus introduced into the bosom of Christianity all sorts of cosmological and philosophical speculations, derived as they are from the doctrines of the Orient and which the Neo Platonists adopted in the Occident".

Hegel, Marx, Sir Erasmus Darwin, Charles Darwin, Dante, Goethe, Milton, Bacon, Shakespeare were all Gnostics or Yogis. The origin of Free Masonry, which is based on Gnosticism, which is based on Kabalah, is Vedic.

The Hebrew Religion is a Vedic religion and it has its origin in the Vedas. Jesus was a Reformer. He came to modify. Mohammed took the principles of Judaism and Christianity and founded Islam. Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism etc are all derivatives of Hinduism. Hence all religions are based on Vedic teachings, Aham Brahmasmi and Tat Tvam Asi.

The Jupiterian Law or Brihaspathi Neethi

Suppose your son goes against you. Will you throw him out of the house ?

This is where Jupiterian Law or Brihaspathi Neethi or Jesusian Law comes into operation.

Love is giving and forgiving
Self is getting and forgetting !

Conquer by Love ! This is the message handed out to us by the millenial philosophers, millenial poets and millenial prophets !

Love is a Glory from Eternity's spheres
He is still the Godhead that can make all change

Love should never cease to be upon the Earth
Love is the bright link betwixt Earth and Heaven
Love is the far Transcendent's angel here
Love is man's lien on the Absolute !

Sai and Jesus say " Love your enemies, bless them that curse you and bless them that persecute you" !

Let us be arrayed from head to foot with their commandments. ' Conquer everything with Patience and Love" is their eternal message !

Byron said " Take away Love and the whole world becomes a tomb "

Jupiter is the preceptor of the celestials and represents the divine arts and sciences. The scientia intuitiva or intuive sciences are a great preparation for Eternal Liberation. Without the discriminative intellect or prajna imparted by him, no one can hope for Self Actualisation. He represents the Sreyo Marga ( the way of Being and of Bliss ) and Venus represents the Preyo Marga ( the way of Mammon and the flesh ). Both paths are followed by mankind !

Goethe echoed the same when he averred

Now lead me where some heavenly silence glasses
The purer joys around the Poet throng
Where Love and Friendship divinely fashion
The bonds that bless, the wreaths that crown his passion !

Yoga Sastra, Nyaya Sastra, Neethi Sastra, Vedanta Sastra, Jyothis Sastra and all such sciences are ruled by Jupiter or Brihaspathi. Sasanath Thrayathe ithi Sastram - meaning that Redeeming instructions are called Sastras ( like fatherly advice to a son ). Hence Jupiter or Brihaspathi is the greatest benefic, from the perspective of Self Actualisation. He represents Grace Divine, without which no Self Realisatoin is possible.

Love is a manna sent from Heaven, a spark of the Immortal Fire, sent by the Lord to elevate our low desire ! Let Almighty Love triumph on earth !

From the Center where the Heart of God is known
Let Love stream forth into the hearts of men
Let Love triumph on Earth !


Let us Love All, Serve All, Help Ever, Hate None and Hurt Never, thereby fulfilling the Jupiterian Law !

The Venusian Law ( Shukra Neeti )

The Mosaic Law of Western Thought is known as Shukra Neethi ( Venusian Law ) in Indian Philosophy. The Jesusian Law corresponds to Brihaspathi Neethi, that is rising to a higher plane which returns good for evil !

Even though it is taught that lying is Sin and should be avoided, Shukra Neethi or the Venusian Law states that one can lie for virtue !


Kaliyil prana rakshakkum
Go brahmana hithathinum
Kanya Vitha rakshakkum
Poli Nindithamalledo !

In business, one cannot be trufhful all the time. There is a saying, Truth is ruinous, hence suppressio veriti, suggestio falsi ! In order to make profits, the biz man is given the licence to lie !

Milton said that Mammon was the first teacher of Man

By him first
Men also

The God and Mammon of Western Thought have their equivalents in

Brihaspathi or Jupiter - the Guru of the celestials and representer of the twelve positive sciences of the Vedas

Shukra or Venus - the Guru of the demons and representer of all modern sciences


Milton's " It is better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven " is Venusian or Shukra Neeti and is widely followed by politicians, mafia chiefs, the priesthood and the captialists !

In Mythology Indian, Venus or Sage Shukra was born to Bhrighu and Usana. He was born on the day of Freya or Venus, Friday. He was born in the constellation of Swathi. Freya is Venus in Norse Mythology and Freya's day became Friday. Shukravar is Friday and is named after Shukra. Shukra was sent to learn the Vedas from Angiras, who was partial to his son, Brihaspathi. However, Shukra learnt the Vedas from Gauthama. He later performed penance to Lord Shiva and obtained the Sanjeevani Mantra, a mantra which can resurrect the dead.

When Jupiter or Brihaspathi became the Guru of the celestials, Shukra competed and became the Guru of the demons ! He exhorted the demons to win the war against the celestials !

When King Bali was tested by Lord Vishnu in the form of the dwarf Vamana, Shukra immediately knew of the deceipt and warned King Bali. He sat in the spout of a vase, which was spotted by Lord Vishnu. Vishnu picked a straw from the ground and directed it on the spout, with the result Shukra became half blind !

Shukra corresponds to Machiavelli. Machiavelli opined that to be feared is better than to be loved. ( "Love is preserved by the link of obligation which men in their baseness break off at every opportunity for their own advantage, whereas fear preserves you with the dread of punishment which never fails " ). Machiavelli opined that men are base and ugly. ( " This has to be asserted in general for men, that they are cowardly, covetous, ungrateful, fickeminded and false and as long as you succeed, they are yours entirely"). Armed prophets had succeeded, whereas the unarmed had failed !

The Jesus and Machiavelli of Western thought, both dialectical opposites, correspond to Brihaspathi and Shukra of Indian thought !


Shukra in Sanskrit means brightness, clearness, purity. These mythological figures are planets and Vedic Symbolism was used by the Rishies. Astrologically, he represents the mundane arts and the mundane sciences, whereas Jupiter or Brihaspati represents the divine sciences and the divine arts.

The greatest donation is the donation of Knowledge

Wisdom ( Vidya ) comes disguised as a woman and tells the scholar not to teach Wisdom to the undeserving

Dhana dayi Brahma chari cha
Medhavi srothita priya


Impart Me, Wisdom, to the deserving - to donators of wealth, celibates, to the intelligentia and those who seek the Vedas !

In fact there are verses which ban imparting knowledge to the arrogant, to the atheist. If imparted, it will end only in sorrow !

Na deyam para shishyaya nasthikaya shadaya cha
Datteyam Prathi dinam dukham Jeevithe natra samsaya

In Free Masonry also, "this science can only be taught to suitable and worthy men, because the misuse of it and the powers arising from it, is conducive to general and personal evil".

It is said that the Initiates knew that this Wisdom is unfit and dangerous to the ordinary human mind, and will suffer loss of virtue and purity, if revealed to vulgar and impure spirits. Hence they devised an outer system - that of temples, mosques and churches - efficient, but imperfect for the profane ! Initiate knowledge is only for those purified in Soul and awakened in Spirit !

Hence they hid Wisdom in mythological stories and allegories, as they never wanted the impure to got hold of that knowledge. Poetry, remarks Sir Philip Sydney, was of purpose written darkly, lest by profane wits it be abused !

Intellectual Mysticism

Intellectual Love or Amor Intellectualis is said to be the greatest quality. This quality is called Vibhakthi in Sanskrit. The mysticism which deals with Vibhakti is called Intellectual Mysticism.

We find many parallels in Walt Whitman and the poet Melpathur ( of Narayaneeyam fame ).

Vibhakti is Vedantic bhakti. The poet Melpathur was a great scholar in all the twelve sciences of Wisdom and he was a made poet like Milton. He had lived laborious days in mastering the twelve positive sciences - six auxiliary and six main - and he had consecrated himself to the Divine. He was the Milton of India ! He was a philosopher,scholar, poet and astrologer.

The Absolute Self of transcendental philosophy is the actual Godhead and the philosopher knows that Thee is Actual Me !

Walt Whitman said

I shrivel at the thought of Self
At Nature and Her wonders, Space, Time and Death
Then I turn to Thee, O Actual Me !
Lo Thou gently mastereth the orbs
Thou matest with Time, smilest content with Death
And fillest swellest the vastnesses of Space !


Melpathur said more or the less the same thing !

In reality I am Thee
For me no bondage
Nor liberation eternal
As all this is illumined
In Universal Mind
Mind binds, Mind liberates
I see Universe thru Mind
The beginingless Nescience
Binds Soul to body
I the Self am unbound
I am that I am !
As to a man in waking
Dream appears unreal
So also is waking state
Unreal in Transcendence !



Yadartha syath thvath mayaiva hi
Mama na Vibho vastavo bandha moksho
Maya Avidya Thanubhyam
Thava hi virachitho
Swapna bodho vapau Thau !

Symbolism of the Triad

There is a great allegorical depiction of the Vedantic Triad in Indian Philosophy.


A cow with three calves - the cow represents the Universal Mind ( Maya ), the three calves are


The Relative Universe ( Jagat )
The Relative Ego ( Jiva )
The Relative Supreme ( Para )

The Triad is a projection of the Universal Mind, whose base is Absolute Being !


O Thou with and without Thy Maya
Art known as Witness Consciousness
Thy projections Three
Are Thee in Reality !
All the forces of Nature
Dissolved in Thee at Involution
Only Thou existed then
As Supreme Consciousness Bliss !


Maya sannihito pravishta vapusha
Saksheethi geetho bhavan
Bhedestham pratibimbitho vivisivan
Jeevepi naiva para
Kalatma pratibodhita cha vigata
sanchothita cha swayam
Maya sa khalu bhuddi tatvamasruja
Dwyosau mahan uchyathe

Inimical Mysticism III

Without an Opposition, there is no democratic process. Should all should extoll God? There should be somebody to criticise Him !

He is not a Human Being. He wont get angry either, like you or me. He is Being Absolute ( Sat ), Knowledge Absolute ( Chit ) & Bliss Absolute ( Ananda ) !



How can it be that Brahm
Could make a world so miserable
And if powerful, leave it so !
He is not good and if not all powerful
He is not God !

Said Bhagavan Buddha in the Light of Asia ( by Sir Edwin Arnold ) . When asked who the greatest philosopher ever was, Bertrand Russell quipped " Buddha .



Mammon led them on,
Mammon, the least erected soul
Who fell from Heaven
And even in Heaven his looks were downward bent
Admiring more
The riches of Heaven's pavemet, trodden gold

Said Milton.

Satan with his army carried the war into the Enemy's camp. They raged against the Highest ! With his army generals, Beelzebub, Mammon, Lucifer etc, they fought against the tyrranny of Heaven, against Him who gives the Cross to good and the throne to Evil, who gives wealth to Evil and lack of wealth to the good, who gives destruction to the good and blessings to Evil !

Alchemical Allegory

The story of Jesus is an alchemical allegory.

In Alchemy, there are seven stages ( These correspond to the Seven States of Consciousness of SCI & TM ).

Sanctification
Purification
Putrefaction
Fermentation
Combustion
Regeneration
and
At-One-Ment

After the first two steps of Sanctification and Purification, the aspiring soul goes through the stages of Putrefaction, Fermentation and Combustion.

These three are the processes of Chemisty, which is derived from Alchemy. The founding fathers of Chemistry were all alchemists, those who trasmuted baser metals into gold. Converting copper or lead to Aurum is theoretically possible. You can change the atomic number of any element by proton bombardment.

The aspirig soul has inner tumults and agitations and these are represented by these three processes.

Combustion is Passion, the Passion of the Redeemer. Combustion is crucifixon, wherein the rebounding karma catches the aspirant unawares.

The question is asked why an aspirant is always carrying the Cross. Arent you a fool to carry the Cross all the time? The answer is that it is a paradoxical state of pain and Bliss. On the Cross, the fifth stage of Alchemy, the soul acquiesces in the Universal Will and welcomes the Divine Will with bliss.

The next stage is Regeneration. Free Masons and Rosucrucians are all alchemists and they admit that Alchemy is derived from the Vedists of the East.
The final stage is At One Ment, at One with the Universal, which is also the purpose of Yoga.

The Broadmindedness of Indian Philosophy !

We may with successful hope resolve
To wage by force or guile eternal war
Irreconcilable to our Grand Foe
Who now trimphs and in excess of joy
Sole reigning holds the tyrranny of Heaven !


Says Satan in the Paradise Lost. Who wrote the Paradis Lost?

A world class poet called Miltion and he was following Vidwesha Bhakhti.

There is no philosopher who is not a Poet ( Na rishi kavih )

So he was a world class philosopher and poet, aware that the Lord had made him suffer, despite him being a scholar ! He had lived laborious days,yet the Lord made him bear the cross. He had studied hard, studied every portion of the Bible. He was blind and his life was immense suffering. So was Tasso's. So was Dante's.

Every Thesis has an Anti Thesis and handling both arguments is called the Dialectical Process. All lawyers know this, all politicians as well as Rishies.


Charvaka was a Rishie, yet an atheist. There is no God in Buddhism, yet it is a formidable system. Atheism, Agnosticism ( Buddhism ) etc adorn Indian Philosophy. A Hindu can be an athiest, he can be an agnostic, he can be a Shoonyavadi ( Buddhist ) or a Poornavadi ( Vedantin ) without being excommunicated like in other civilisations. This is the broadminded ness of Indian Philosophy.


The sloka Yada vairanubandhena is not made by me, but by a Rishie called Narada, who was a Bhaktha !
