The Pagan Roots of Environmentalism

All talk about Environmentalism derived from Paganism. Dasa putro sama druma - One tree = Ten sons, averr the Veda.


Trees are carbon storage units, they absorb Co2 and give out Oxygen. Trees and water reservoirs enable Evapotranpiration in the Water Cycle. Trees are very important and no wonder our ancestors, who lived in harmony with Nature, hailed trees as sons !


Today is the World Envrionment Day. Let us plant trees and go green !

It is said of Kerala that She is a state clad in a green Silk Saree, Pacha Pattudutha Keralam. So magnificently has Nature landscaped her in greenish hue. The primary cause of this phenomenon is that she gets 3 Monsoons, the South West, The North East and the Summer Monsoons. She gets more than 3000 mm rains per year. The definition of a desert is a place which gets less than 250 mm rains annually. No wonder Koppen, the German climatologist, called her Tropical Wet  and one of the best rainfall areas in India ! The entire Malabar Belt of 825 km gets these three Monsoon and is green !

Another Quantum Mystic !

The Road to Reality 

A Complete Guide to the Laws of the Universe
by Sir Roger Penrose 


Sir Roger Penrose is a genius. He has made lasting contributions to Cosmology, Philosophy and Mathematics. He collaborated with Hawking in unravelling many problems in Cosmology. He shared the Wolf Prize in Physics with Hawking. He is the author of the Twister Theory, which maps geometrical object into four dimensional space time. He invented the spin network, which came to form the geometry of space time in the Loop Quantum Theory, a theory which explains all the forces in Nature.

His major books are

The Emperor's New Mind
The Large, small and the Human Mind
Shadows of the Mind.

The first book explains that human consciousness cannot be explained from the laws of Science. Human Consciousness transcends formal logic as in the case of mathematical or intuitive insights. The Epheral nature of Consciousness implies a quantum process in the brain. Mind resides in this quantum domain.

His books have created a paradigm shift in human thinking. He is another exponent of Quantum Mysticism !

The Sevenfold Ignorance !

Man is 'blessed' with seven types of ignorance. 



Cosmic Ignorance 

Ignorant we are about the origin, purpose and becoming of our existence in this Cosmos.

Absolute Ignorance

The Absolute is the source of all being and becoming. and we are ignorant of the Absolute.

Egotistic Ignorance

Egotistic Ignorance is that we are ignorant of the spaceless timeless and immortal self. We have only a short life.

Temporal Ignorance

We are ignorant of our eternal becoming in time; that is the fourth temporal ignorance.

Psychological Ignorance

This prevents us from knowing who we really are.

Constitutional Ignorance

We are also ignorant of the true constitution of our becoming..

Practical Ignorance

Because of greed and fear, we commit many a blunder and this is our Practical Ignorance.


We have to transcend this sevenfold Ignorance and rise to Integral Knowledge, which is needed for Enlightenment.

The Three Definitions

The definitions of Mind, Overmind & Supermind in Aurobindonian Dialectic


Mind ( Mana )

Mind is a clumsy interlude between Nature's vast and precise subconscient action and the vaster and infallible superconscient action of the Godhead.... There is nothing Mind can do which cannot be better done by the Mind's immobility of thought free stillness.

Overmind ( Vijnana )

In its power of origination and in the process of its executive dynamis, Overmind is the vast organiser of many potentialities of existence, a magician craftsman empowered to weave the multi colored warp and woof of manifestation of a single entity in a complex universe.

Supermind ( Prajnana )


Supermind is the Alpha and the Omega, the instrument of all unification, of all origination, originative, executive and consummative in all realised and realisable harmonies !

The Lunar Calendar !

Vaisakha is the second month of the Hindu Lunar Calender.

The Full Moon of Vrishabha ( Taurus ) occurs near the constellation Beta Librae (Vishakha ) and hence is called Vaishakha. It begins from April 21 and ends on May 20.

Vaishakha... begins from today, the New Moon of April. The Sikh Harverst Festival, Baisakhi, is celebrated this month. It is the second month of the Tamil Solar Calender.

The Full Moon of Vaisakha is celebrated as Buddha Pournima or the birthday of Lord Buddha.

In Guruvayur, the Holy Month of Vaisakha begins. Pilgrims from TN, Karnataka and AP rush to Guruvayur to have a glimpse of the Lord during this Holy Month.

The 10th Rising !

In the 10th degree of Aries, the Sun is in a state of deep exaltation, Athi Uccha. This is the 10th day of Mesha, Medam. Today the longitude of the Sun is 6 degree and today is the Aram Udayam. 

So Tenth Rising, Patham Udayam of the Sun is on 23rd. On this great day, all Hindus worship the Lord as Surya Narayana, when the Sun reaches his Athyuccha Point.

Happy Patham Udayam greetings in advance to all our brethren.

Grahanam Adir adithyo

Patience is the greatest virtue !

Patience is the strength of the weak
Also the ornament of the strong !

Kshama balam ashakthanam
Shakthanam bhooshanam Kshama !
... Many are the teachings of the wise
In ancient and in modern books enrolled
Extolling Patience as the truest fortitude
And to the bearing end of all calamities
All chances incident to man's frail life !

Kshantavyam purusheneva
Sarvapatsu sushobhane
Thasyabhavaya bhavathi
Krodha Paramadaruna !


The patient will be extolled
As it is he who triumphs
He conquers, who endures
He who suffers, conquers !
The end of Anger is
A great disaster indeed !

Quantum Mysticism enhances Indian Wisdom !

We said earlier that the Gnostics enriched Western Philosophy with the doctrines of the East. Similarly Indian Philosophy is enriched by Mahesh Yogi's Quantum Mysticism and Aurobindonian Supramental Dialectic. 


Three disciples of Mahesh Yogi are still centre stage - Dr Deepak Chopra, Ravi Shankar and Rishi Prabhakar. Scientists like Dr Capra and Gary Zukav support Quantum Mysticism.

Modern astronomical theories support Indian Astro Physics and Dr Carl Sagan has testified to this fact.

Dr Robert Keith Wallace, a TM er, said

"It is appropriate to recognise India as the home of the most profound knowledge and procedures for the development of Physiology."

in his " Neurophysiology of Enlightenment "

Nobel Laureate Dr Prigogine, another TM er, said that more and more scientists will be visiting India, as Modern Science validates Indian philosophic verities !

The Eighteen Sciences !

These are the eighteen sciences which grace Philosophia Indica.


1)The Science of Being as Being - Vedanta Sastra
2)The Science of Cosmic Union - Yoga Sastra
3)The Science and Wisdom of the Heavens - Jyothis Sastra

Mother India is the mother of us all !

Mother and Motherland are greater
Than all Heavens and Earths !
O Mother India, Thou art equal
And the mother of us all !


Jananee janma bhoomischa
Swargath api Gareeyasi
Samatha vilasitha Bharathee

This is in line with Will Durant, who said

"India is the mother of us all. Through Sanskrit, the mother of Europe's languages. Through the Buddha, of the ideals embodied in Christianity. Through the Arabs, of higher mathematics and algebra. Through the village community, of self government and democracy. Mother India, is in many ways, the mother of us all. "

Greatest is Grace !

Grace us, O Lord

Wisdom = Grace = Insurance !

Greatest is Grace
Grace is the quality of Truth
Truth is known only to Sages
Hence Sages are my Exemplars!

Augustus born with exalted Jupiter !

The Greats who criticised Democracy - III

Plato criticised Democracy and favoured the rule of Philosopher Kings. He wrote in his Republic

" Unless philosophers became Kings and Kings took to the power and spirit of Philosophy, cities shall never cease from ill nor the human race'.

Marcus Aurelius and Augustus Caesar in Rome, King Janaka and Nimi in India were Philosopher Kings who were exemplary.

Augustus ruled Rome for 40 years and it was known as the Golden Age of Rome. He was born with Libra rising, with Saturn exalted and Venus powerful in Libra and Jupiter exalted in Cancer. He was a born Raja Rishi. His empire was based on naval power.

He was a member of the second triumvirate. The first triumvirate was Pompey, Julius Caesar and Crassus. All of them perished by the sword. Even his two partners of the second triumvirate, Marc Antony and Lepidus also perished in battle.

On the contrary, Augustus was protected by Providence and died a natural death.

As a Rishie, Augustus founded the Religion of Numa, defined by Buchan as a probe into the mysteries of the Infinite and the Unknown.

We pray that India may again be ruled by Philosopher Kings like Lord Rama and Lord Krishna, putting an end to the rule of commercial politicians !

The Yoga Fourfold

Is there a way to get out of this mess?

 

Yes, by Yoga.

 

 

By Yoga we can rise from Lie to Truth Divine, out of weakness into Force, out of grief into Bliss Absolute, out of bondage into Freedom Eternal, out of death into Immortaltiy, from darkness to light, out of imperfection into Perfection, out of division into Unity, out of Maya into God. Only that which aims at possessing the Divine Fulness is the Yoga Fourfold.

 

Our aim is to become like Him, perfect as He is perfect, blissful  as He is blissful, pure as He is pure and when we become perfected in the Yoga Fourfold, we can bring humanity to the same level of perfection. It does not matter if we fail in our objective here temporarily. If we give ourselves wholeheartedly to the attempt, the forces of Evolution will definitely favour us on our march towards Godhead and this is the Bliss which the Lord intends to give us !

Science is Experience of Bliss

Science, we know, is the systematised Knowledge of Nature.

But the best answer was given by Dr Sudarshan, he who almost contradicted Einstein's Theory of Relativity ( that tachyons move faster than photons) and one of the great proponents of the TM Movement.

"Science is experience of Bliss."

This experience of Bliss is what the Fourfold Yoga is all about.

The Bliss for which the world's derelict sorrows yearn !

This is the noblest, the holiest and the greatest of all sciences. This is the most Original Science of the human race which contains within it all the primitive mysteries of Science !

Start of the New Agri Year

Now 0230 AM, tomorrow has been declared to be the time for Vishu Kani at Guruvayur Temple. This is the exact time when the Sun enters the Vernal Equinox. Thousands are thronging Guruvayur to get a glimpse of the Lord, when His external symbol, the Sun, enters Sidereal Aries. We wish a happy Baishakhi to our Sikh brothers, Happy Tamil New Year to our Tamil brothers, Vishu to all Malayalee brothers and Happiness, Peace and Prosperity to all. Sarve Janah Sukhino Bhavanthu !

Grahaksha thara chakrastha
Paramanadvina Jagath

Paryethya Nimisho Vibhu !

The Absolute is 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 !"

Self=Love=Bliss

I had some argument with scholars here and it is obvious that Jnana and Bhakthi had clashed. No doubt Jnana is great, but without Bhakthi Yoga's Grace it is difficult to transcend. As Aurobindo put it " the austere Advaitin who wants extinction in the Ineffable will miss the sweetness of Saraswathi, the terror of Kali and the laughter of Krishna " ! The stories of Rama, Krishna, Jesus etc may be mythological stories, written by the highly intelligent to save mankind from peril, but those stories are needed by humanity !

In every man, there exists a responsiveness to Ultimate Truth - a subconscious reminiscence, as Plato would way, or rather a super conscious reminiscence. When philosophic concepts are introduced in story form - Mythology - the initiate's joy cannot be greater. There is joy in Mythology, as the stories of Krishna, Rama and Jesus proved !

It may be Prajnanam Anandam Brahma in Jnana Yoga, but it is Premam Anandam Brahma in Bhakthi Yoga !

Darshan dee jo Bhagavan parama dayalo Bhagavan !

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

The Purusha beyond Prakrithi

The Rishies declared 

We have seen the Purusha who transcends Prakrithi, resplendent with the spendour of a thousand Suns !

Vedahamekam purusham mahantam aditya varna tamasa parasthat !


O Ancient, O Poet of all Poets !
Subtler than the Subtlest
Greater than the Greatest
Of Universal, Unthinkable Form
Clad in the form of a thousand Suns
To Thee, we bow !

Kaveem puranam anushasi tharam
Anoraneeyan samanusmaredhya
Sarvasys dhatharam achinthya roopa

- The Geetha.

Forgive O Lord, for describing the Indescribable !

Arise O Self !

In order to make our divine mission successful, we must first get the Lord. Only the touch of that which is all Becomings and Who exceeds all becomings can liberate us from the limitations of our finite nature !

O Thou who art cosmic in the Universe
Who is immanent in the Universe
Who transcends the Universe
O Thou who abidest in all as the Self
The divine component, the Spark in all
May Thou arise in all
Making our divine work successful !

The Science of Logic in Indian Wisdom

Bhagavan Gauthama founded the Science of Logic, Nyaya Sastra, for the establishment of Vedic concepts and for the refutatation of non-Vedic arguments.

Nyaya Sastra is the one of six main sciences. "The Science of Logic is that which illumines all Learning, the instrument of all actions and is the refuge of all moral ethics analysed completely for the purpose of Knowledge"

 Pradeepa sarva Vidhyanam
Upadhi sarva karmanam
Ashraya sarva dharmanam
Vidhy dhese pareekhithah

 This is in line with the Western definition of Logic, that it is the science of the regulative principles of thought.

It is said that the Lord, in His Timeless Eternity, fed up with the illogical events happening on earth, wondered why human beings are so illogical and incarnated as Bhagavan Gauthama to reveal the Science of Logic, the Wisdom of Nyaya Sastra to mankind !

The 25th Principle is He !

Bhagavan Kapila, who gave humanity the Wisdom of Nature, Sankhya Sastra, one of the six main sciences of Indian Philosopy. He postulated that there are two components of the Ultimate, Purusha and Prakrithi. We are in the state of Prakrithi and we have to transcend to the level of the Eternal Purushua.

Kapila was an incarnation of the Lord. The Lord revealed the mysteries of the Universe to His Mother, Devahoothi.

Prakrithi mahad ahamkara tan matra bhooyan
Hridi dasapi dasakshee purusha Pancha vimsa
Ithi vividha vibhogo muchyathe sau prakrithya
Kapila thanu riththvam deva hootyai nyagadi


Nature, Cosmic Mind, Ego, the Five Subtle Essences, the Five Elements, Heart, the five organs of perceptions and the five organs of action - all these are the 24 principles of the Universe. This is Nature Almighty, Prakrithi in action.

Transcending these 24 principles is the Mighty Purusha, the 25th Principle and the Ultimate Principle.

He who knows all these 25 principles, he will be liberated eternally!

So Thou, in Thy incarnation as Bhagavan Kapila, revealed to Thy mother, Devahoothi !

Who is a Hindu ?

There is a misunderstanding about the word Hindu.

Max Muller, Monier Williams and other missionary scholars want us to believe that since our ancestors lived near the river Sindhu, we are called Hindus, because the Persians could not pronounce the word Sindhu. This is utter nonsense.

Sat Prem, a French intellectual, in his book " Aurobindo, the Adventure of Consciousness" remarks that "the term Hinduism is an invention of the West. The Indian speaks only about the Eternal Law, the Sanathana Dharma. Now India, who could understand the Eternal Iconoclast that God is in His Cosmic March, did not have the strength to support Her Wisdom" So true, we were invaded by the Mughal Empire and the British Empire.

The Eternal Law, this Sanathana Dharma, is called by many as Christianity, Islam, Sikhism, Buddhism etc. " The Name of this Causality is Divine Law " said Aurobindo. " "The Law rules all and is all' said Cheiro. This Eternal Law pervades the Universe, ruling all.

The real meaning of the word Hindu is that he who is sorrowful in violence is a Hindu, himsayam dhooyathe yasya saha hindurithyabhideeyathe.

Vivekananda wrote

' The Hindu believes he is Spirit. Him the fire cannot burn, him the water cannot wet, him the sword cannot pierce nor the wind dry. He is the Absolute Self, center everywhere, circumference nowhere".

The Supramental Dialectic

Bhagavan Aurobindo, staunch nationalist that he was, prayed for India's liberation !

" The athiest is in me, the agnostic is in me, all I want O Lord, is my country's freedom "

Then suddenly He heard the Voice.

" This is the Eternal Law, the Sanathana Dharma, the Eternal Religion which I have perfected through the saints, the Yogis, the Rishies and the Avatars. When you go forth, say that it is for Dharma India exists. At the moment I am giving India her freedom"

No wonder India's Independence and Aurobindo's birthday coincided !

The Voice continued " I am seated deep in the hearts of all and I overrule their actions and words. It is what I SHALL and not what others may. It is for Dharma India exists. Whatever be the impossibilities and difficulties that come, know that there is nothing impossible, there is nothing difficult. "

Aurobindo knew that all his steps were divinely ordained and founded the Supramental Dialectic and Integral Yoga, after this Vision he got in jail !

Who can describe Bhagavan Aurobindo ?

The Science of the Absolute

The Lord milked the cows ( Upanishads ) and created a master treatise, the Geetha. The Geetha is the Lamp lit by Him at the altar of humanity. It is the Upanishad sung by Him, the Science of the Absolute and the Scripture on Yoga. 

In the Upanishads, Reality is indicated by a series of negatives, because the Negative is less limiting than the Positive.

Aurobindo wrote " The ancient sages spoke indeed of Brahman negatively. They said It is not this, It is not that". At the same time, they took care to speak of it positively. They said It is this, It is that, It is all. Brahman, the Absolute, they said is Life, is Matter, is Life, is Supermind, is Cosmic Delight, is Sat Chit Ananda ( Being, Knowledge, Bliss ). But Brahman, the Absolute, cannot be defined by any of these terms, not even by our broadest definition of Sat Chit Ananda".

Metempsychosis

Some doubt the Law of Metempsychosis or Reincarnation. 

The Law of Conservation of Matter states that Matter or Energy can never be created nor destroyed.

Matter exists in three forms - solid, liquid and gaseous.

Ice (solid ) when heated becomes water. Water when heated becomes vapour, which when cooled, becomes water. In other words, Substance knoweth no destruction. It merely undergoes a transformation into conditions which preexisted in other conditions.

Imagine yourself as ice. Ice had preexisted in other conditions as water. Water had preexisted in other conditions as vapour. It is only logical to assume that we had preexisted in other conditions !

Physical Life, therefore, does not begin to be. It merely enters physical conditions and assumes physical guise.

The Law of Conservation of Matter is in other words, the Law of Conservation of Being, where Being is all in all - Matter, Mind and Life !

Sai as Avatar !

In the communiion of Yoga, Aurobindo felt that the Overmind is descending on Earth. He exclaimed " Lord Krishna will be reborn in India" ( On Nov 23 ). After that Aurobindo retired into solitude. 

To fulfill that prophecy, Bhagavan Baba was born.

Adorned with the sixteen divine graces
And resembling the orb of the Autumn Moon
The Sovereign of this Universe
Was born as Easwaramba's beloved son
To the delight of the three worlds !

Symbolism of Animal and Self

We will explain the symbolism of Nandi and Lord Shiva. 

Why did the Rishies insist on Nandi before the Deity. Nandi represents our animal aspect. Our animal aspect has to be overcome to attain Self Actualisation, or the vision of the mighty Lord ( Lord Shiva ).

After attaining Cosmic Consciousness, Sat Prem writes about Aurobindo. " He felt the animal grimace under the Infinite Consciousness and the material gross still intact after that beautiful aureole". He had overcome the animal in Him !

You will find this great Symbolism in all Lord Shiva temples.

The symbolism of Kalia Mardhana

This is a glorious opportunity to explain the great symbolism of Kalia Mardana.

In the West, the seven reprehensible actions have been defined by Dante as the Seven Deadly Sins. They are Lust, greed, anger, jealousy, sloth, covetousness and gluttony.

In India, they are known as the Ari Shad Vargas, the six enemies of Man, Kama, Krodha, Mada, Moha, Matsarya & Lobha. Raga or attachment can be added as the Seventh.

The giant Kalia reprents our Ego. And his seven hoods are the Seven Deadly Sins, Kama, Krodha etc.

Let Him dance on our Ego, destroying the Sins in us, so that we become eligible for Self Actualisation !


Ego, strength, arrogance,
Lust, anger, hatred
Overcoming all these
Eligible he becomes
For the Divine Crown !


Ahamkaram Balam Darpam

Grace us O Almighty Lord!

Praseeda Devesha Jagannivasa !

Dialectical Integralism

Marx was a great philosopher and his Dialectical Materialism checked the advance of Evangelist Churchianity. International Communism became so formidable that its strength equalled the strength of United Churchianity !

One gentleman by the name of Upadhyaya, son in law of Dange, has written a book called " Marxist Brahman". This is about Divine Communism. He proved that Dialectical Materilism existed even before Marx in the Upanishads. Padartham Brahma means that Matter is the Brahman. Aurobindo Philosophy also begins with the staetement that Matter is the Brahman, Annam Brahma.

Dialectical Idealism reversed ( Hegelian Idealism ) is Marxism. Marx was a Jewish intellectual. Spinoza, Einstein, Oppenheimer, Marx, Trotsky etc were all Jews.

Aurobindo integrated both Dialectical Idealism and Dialectical Materialism and founded Dialectical Integralism, that Matter and Spirit are the obverse and the reverse of the same coin of Realit

Vedic Symbolism

All sastras have two types of meaning 

The Exoteric - Outer - Bahya Artha
The Esoteric - Inner - Antarika Artha

Bahya Abhyantara Bhedath Dvivida

While we can understand a mythological story and its Bahya Artha, the Antarika Artha or the inner symbolic meaning is explained only by the Guru. It can only be got via the Guru Shishya Bandha.

Here is the symbolism of the Lord on a chariot, giving instructions to the Prince of India.

The Lord symbolises the Self
Arjuna represents the Discriminative Intellect, Prajna
The Five Horses are the Five Senses, Pancha Indriyas
The reins are the Mind.

Pramana

Athmanam Sardhim Viddhi
Shareeram Ratham Eva Cha
Indriyanam Hayaneshu
Mana pragrahameva Cha

Know that the Self is the rider
The Body the Chariot
Senses five the five horses
And Mind the reins !

Vande Guru Paramparam

We thank the tradition of Masters, who gave us this symbolic meaning. Hail Bhagavan Aurobindo, Ramana Maharshi, Bhagavan Sai, Mahesh Yogi etc.

Gain Peace immense !

Dr Paul Brunton hailed Him as one of the greatest sages. ' I thank the hour when I first met thee, O Illustrious Sage of Arunachala" wrote he. On seeing Him, Dr Brunton records that " I felt immense peace enter into the inner realms of my being"!

When Dr Brunton was sitting in an apartment in US, he heard the voice of this Great One. " Are you just wasting time, when humanity is thirsting for crumbs of Wisdom?". Impelled by that Call, Dr Brunton came to India and wrote 20 books on Yoga.

Says Raman

"In the Infinite Sky of Consciousness ( Chit Akasha ), the Sun of Self Realisation shines bright and brilliant. Disperse the cloud of Ego obstructing the moonlight of Consciouness and the bud of Truth begins to blossom.

The Absolute Brahman becomes the cosmic world and spreads this world. This world is its thought, an imagination.

The mind gets peace by meditating on the Unity of the Ultimate Reality. The Self fills the Universe, being  colorless, formless, nameless !

Humanity's first martyr !

In his essay " Giadarno Bruno ", Robert Ingersoll writes

Christian ignorance, bigotry and hatred have destroyed the vast treasures of our race. The Sun was blotted out from the intellectual horizon, every star extinguished. And there descended into our planet the period known as the Dark Ages.

This world class philosopher and poet, Bruno, was burnt alive by RC. ( by the triumphant Beast ).

He was humanity's first martyr.

The murder of this great one can only be avenged, until from Rome
shall be removed every vestige of priest and Pope, after the ruins of St Peters, the fallen Cross and the crumpled Vatican, shall rise a monument to Bruno, the thinker, the philosopher, the martyr !

The Soul doth not die !

In his "Fable of Actaeon", Bruno prayed for the destruction of his contingent being, so that the Deus Absconditus, the absconding Divinity, the Atman, the Brahman may be realised in himself.

In that Actaeon is a deer who falls in love with Goddess Diana. A jackal comes in between and Actaeon prays for his own destruction, so that he can get a glimpse of the Goddess !

Give me a death in its cruel fangs.

This is the symbolism of the story. Actaeon is the human intellect. Goddess Diana is Divine Wisdom. The jackal is the body- mind - intellect complex which prevent Self Actualisation.

LIbera nos, Domine - Liberate us O Lord ! '

He knew that the Ego, the body-intellect-mind complex was the big hindrance to Self Realisation !

Jayanthi the Sukruthino
Rasa Siddha Kaveeswara
Nasthi thesham Yasha Kaye
Jara Maranajam bhayam

They alone are the Victors
The Self Actualised Poets
As their fame body knoweth
No death, wear or tear !

Even now Bruno's fame body, like all others Rishies and Kavis, knoweth no wear and tear !

Indian theories and Sir Erasmus Darwin

Sir Erasmus Darwin belonged to the Lunar Society. He was impressed by two Indian theories.

1) Theory of Metempsychosis or Rebirth
2) Theory of the Ten Incarnations

Evolution states that Life began from the sea and that our primordial ancestors were aquatic.

The Ten Incarnations Theory ( Dasa Avataras ) is allegorical and symbolic. Life came from the sea ( Matsya Avatara ) and the unicellular amoeba evolved and evolved, into plants, into apes and then into man. Man then becomes Enlightened ( The Buddha ) and this is the Goal of Life, Self Actualisation ( parama purushartha = moksha ) .

Regarding, Metempsychosis. Aurobindo averred "It is illogical to assume that Plato and the Hottentot and the fortunate child of the Rishies and the saints have to realise in this very birth their eternal future. " So for the Evolution of Consciousness, which is behind the Evolution of the Species, there have to be many lives.

The East India Company, via Sir Erasmsus Darwin, took these two theories to the Western world. Sir Eramsus Darwin evolved a new theory out of it - The Theory of Evolution.

Later on, his grandson, Charles Darwin, established this theory in the scientific world, as the Law of Evolution, in his Origin of the Species !
