OF WORLD PEACE

OF WORLD PEACE It is heartening to note, That the Indian PM's name, Hath been recommended, For establishing World Peace ! "My chariots shall not be bloody, Till the earth records my name", Said the conscientious Buddha, As he renounced War. Milton averred " Peace hath her victories, No less renouned than War " ! Man's essential nature is Peace, War is only an abnormality ! How can a Nation which declares Peace, Aum Shanti, Shanti, advocate War ? From the ethical, moral angle, Peace gets Fame, and War notoriety ! Love cognised is Truth Love in action is Non VIolence Love as pure Being is Wisdom Love as Feeling is Peace. Yet, many believe that war is a necessity biologic, An outlet for the human desire to compete and excel ! Conquest by force is only half victory, True victory is conquest by Love ! Harmony has to be established, And perfection worked out. We have to effectuate the Divine, In a conflicting and contradicting world ! We have been instructed, To rise from Non Being to Being, Asado Ma Sad Gamaya, And to rise from Darkness to Light. In other words, From the Negative to the Positive. But we have a big problem here, As we are confronted by qualities negative ! We have seen Death, But not Immortality ! Mrutyor Ma Amritam Gamaya, Appears to be difficult ! Death, Non Being, Ignorance, Darkness, adversity, disease, All these we have seen, But never experienced the Positive ! Qualties Negative, Are merely the first terms of the Formula, Unintellible to us, Till we work out its esoteric terms ! These qualities negative, Are merely initial discords Of the Musician's symphony, Didnt He create a world miserable ? That too deliberately flawing perfection, Of His Own Creation ? The discords of the world are Lord's discords, To unfold the Godhead within us? The tormenting Evil is He, As well as the Redeeming Grace ! Oru Kai Praharikkave Maru Kai kondu thalodum Easwaran ! Only when we have an integral vision, Can we see beyond all masks, The serene and lovely face, Of the All Blissful Godhead ! His tests test our imperfection, True friemd is He and Heart, the Teacher ! Mind is the greatest Guru, And world, the true Book ! Let us be what the Seer Poets recommended, What Lord Krishna recommended to Arjuna, Realised souls viewing Becoming, Under the metaphor of Being ! Let us rise from Death to Self Realisation, From the Darkness of Nescience to Light Supernal, From the mirage of Non Being to True Being, Thus fulfilling that eternal Prayer Asato Ma Sadgamaya ! Did not Bhagavan Aurobindo, Say that Strive and thou shalt have ? Trust and thy trust shall be justified ? That the Divine Crown is within our reach ? That we have to overcome the Negative, And reach the Positive ! And Implement Positivity, Then only shall the world be redeemed ! The Kingdom of Heaven, Is both worldly and transworldly To implement this Rama Rajya, India, US and Russia exist !

Guruvayur Website !

Amongst the Four Yogas, Bhakti Yoga or Bridal Mysticism is revered.

BM reduces Ego ! In B M, the statement is "I am Thine" and not " I Am that I Am" !

So we have stated a B M site for students, who want to learn spirituality. Guruvayur4u

This site deals with the esoteric meaning behind Mythology. Mythology is allegorical, the depiction of eternal verities through stories. 

India, the home of the most profound knowledge !

Dr Robert Keith Wallace, the ex President of Maharshi International
University, Fairfield, Iowa said this when he came to India

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

In his "Neurophysiology of Enlightenment", he remarks " What the ancients
meant by Supreme Knowledge, Jnana, was a state of perfect order, Zero
Entropy" !

May his soul rest in peace ! 

The Scientia Prima, the First Science, the Vedanta Sastra !

The First Science, the Scientia Prima

All sciences study Being.

Physics is the Science of Being as Matter.
Mathematics is the Science of Being as Numbers.
Chemistry is the Science of Being as Qualities
Biology is the Science of Being as Life.

But the Scientia Prima, the First Science, Vedanta Sastra, is the Science of Being as Being, in its pure state. And in its pure state, it is as Absolute Being !

And what is the Absolute ? It is one immutably homogenous Infinite.

The Universe has no center or circumference. It would have had a circumference, if it had a center. Since the Universe has no center or circumference, and since it could not be enclosed in any center or circumference, it would be unintelligible, without Being, without the Absolute, as the Center and the Circumference.

The Philosophia Prima, the First Philosophy, was the name given by Locke to Ontology and later by Hobbes to Metaphysics !

In our terminology, this is the First Science, the Scientia Prima, the Adi Sastra, the Prathama Sastra, the Vedanta Sastra !

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.

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
Sarva Jagathi shreyasee


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

Daivadheenam Jagat Sarvam
Sathyadheenam thu Daivatam
Tat Satyam Uthamadheenam
Uthamo Mama Devatha


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
Samvathsaravasanena
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 !"
