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 !

Power is divine !




A Power to call Eternity into Time
And make the body's joys as vivid as the Souls !

said Aurobindo.

Let us analyse why he said that.

Power has been defined as corrupting and evil by classical philosophy. Poets and other literary blokes have made derogatory remarks about Wealth, Wine and Women.

"It is a mistake of the ethical or the religious mind to condemn Power as a weapon unworthy to be sought after, as it is corrupting and evil. Power, Shakti, Divine is the mover of the worlds and She is divine in origin and spiritual in character".

Power properly harnessed, properly used can bring wonders to this world !

The greatest Power is Love !

Love is a glory from Eternity's spheres
She is still the Godhead who 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

Aurobindo, a Realist !

Buddha and Sankara of course were two of the greatest philosophers to have graced this planet. Another equally great, Bhagavan Aurobindo, said so

"Buddha and Sankara thought the world to be miserable, hence escape from it to them was the only Wisdom ( Escapism ? ). But then the world is Being, the world is Self, the world is Truth, the world is Ananda, prajna prasrutha purani, Omnipotent Wisdom created this world ! It is not the organised blunder of some Infinite Dreamer ! It is only our perception of the world though the mentalised ego which is the suffering. The world is nothing but Anantamaya Krishna, the Lord playing in the world as Sat Chit Ananda ".

Sankara was an illusionist. Buddha was a Nihilist ( Shoonyavadi ). Their arguments only prove their world class calibre. One doctrine is not against another. That is why we said all perspectives - atheism, agnosticism, Nilhilism, Absolutism, ( Poornavada ) - are all contained in Indian Philosophy, which displays the greatness of I P.

Hegel's Dialectical Idealism was reversed by Marx ( Dialectical Materialism ). Aurobindo integrated both Materialism and Idealism and called it Dialectical Integralism. He integrated Matter and Spirit. Matter is Brahman ( Padartham Brahma, Annam Brahma ) and is the outer garment of Spirit.

Matter is veiled somnambulist consciousness, which contains all the latent powers of the Spirit. Behind every atom, behind every molecule, there lies hidden and works unknown all the omniscience of the Eternal and the omnipotence of the Infinite. ( Aurobindo )

Spirit shall see thru Matter's gaze
Matter shall reveal the Spirit's face !

Aurobindo was a Realist !

Ode to the Mother Divine



Intelligence Thou art and essence
Of all sciences intuitive; Thou art
Called the Surmounter of all difficulties,
Hence Durga called.

Of the nature of Sound Primal
Thou art the threefold Veds
The Triune Mother Divine
As Wealth, Wisdom & Valour
(Lakshmi, Saraswathi, Durga )
And as the Fourth, Transcendence,
Thou art All in All, Thou art All !

Verily Thou hast declared
"All this am I, nothing exists
In the Universe apart from Me"
As the microcosmic Kundalini,
As the Macroscomic Universe,
All this is Thy great Play,
O Mighty Mother Divine !

Seek out the great Ones and know the Truth !




Arise, awake, Seek out
The Great Ones to know Truth ineffable
As dangerous as the Razor's edge
So is the path difficult to cross

I walk on the Razor's edge alone
The path is narrow, the way Unknown

Go and seek out the Seers
Whose body is full of Bliss
Who enjoys divine Immortality
Whose body know the warmth
Warmth subtle of the Serpent Power
As it ascends from the Base Chakra
To the highest Crown Chakra !

Thou art Supreme, O Power Divine !



Thou exist as Prosperity in the wise
As Mental Chaos in the evil doers
As Intelligence in the Seers
As Purity in the Saints
Thou art supreme, O Power Divine !

By Thy Grace supernal
Wealthy men become
With lots of largesse and subordinates
Thou art the conferror of Wealth !

For those who want Self Actualisation
Thou makest them do righteous deeds
Heaven they get due to Thy Grace
Thou art the Mother of both realms !

The Grand Festival of Lights, Diwali !



Diwali is the great Festival of Lights. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful holidays.

Actually Diwali is made up of Five Days. First is the Dhana Trayodashi, the thirteen lunation astrologically, the New Year of Business.

The second day is the Naraka Trayodashi, dedicated to the demon Narakasura, who was vanquished by Lord Vishnu.

The third day is the day of Lakshmi Puja, the Goddess of Prosperity. All shops are closed during this day.

The fourth day is the Bali Worship day, the day when the sacred animals are treated with care and paraded through the streets.

The fifth day is Yama, dedicated to brothers and sisters !

May the Goddess of Prosperity bless you during these auspicious days !

Chakras or dynamoes of Spiritual Energy !



Chakras as dynamoes of Cosmic Energy. They exist in the subtle physical
body. The Serpentine Power lies coiled in the Root Chakra. She rises due to
Meditation,when the body feels the subtle warmth of Meditation
Transcendental.

These Chakras are ( in ascending order)

1. Root Chakra ( Muladhara )
2. Anal Chakra ( Manipura )
3. Solar Plexus Chakra ( Swadhistana )
4. Heart Chakra ( Anahata )
5. Throat Chakra ( Vishuddhi )
6. Eyebrow Chakra ( Ajna )

The Five Great Elements ( Earth, air, water, fire & ether ) & Mind reside
in the Six Chakras.

Earth-Principle resides in the Root Chakra
Water-Principle resides in the Navel Chakra
Fire-Principle resides in the Solar Plexus Chakra
Air-Principle resides in the Heart Chakra
Ether-Principle resides in the Throat Chakra
Mind-Principle resides in the Eye Brow Chakra.

The Microscomic representative of the Macrocosmic Shakti ( Cosmic Power ),
the Kundalini, sportest as the Six principles in the Six Chakras in Her
Cosmic Play. She sports as Universal Power in the Macrocosm; and in the
microcosm as the coiled Serpent Power!

O Infinite Power ! Thou art the Mind-principle in the Eye brow Chakra
In the Throat Chakra , Thou sport as the Ether-principle
In the Heart Chakra, Thou sportest as Air- principle
In the Solar Plexus Chakra, Thou art Fire-principle
In the Navel Chakra , Thou exist as Water-principle
In the Root Chakra, Thou art the Earth _Principle, O Mighty Mother !
And in the Crown Chakra, Thou sportest blissfully with thy beloved Consort !

The meditator feels a subtle warmth in the body during her rise. His voice
becomes propertied as the all the tuned spheres. The personality of the
native becomes very attractive due to the influx of Jupiterian energy.
Wisdom and learning grace the individual. Torrential bliss can be felt, as
She rises furthur. . And when She reaches the Crown Chakra, it is Cosmic
Consciousness for the native !

She is the Relative of the Absolute, the Finite of the Infinite, the Form of
the Formless. She alone determines about the destiny of the individual. She
alone exists as Mind Universal and is all this that is.

Intelligence Thou art
The essence of all sciences
The Goal supreme to be attained
Thou art the Trinity
Wisdom, Wealth & Valour
All four aspects are Thine
Wisdom, Wealth, Virility, Time
Thy true nature is Transcendence
And Thou sportest in the garden
Of the mighty Upanishads !

The cause of Universes and multiverses
Thou art the Trnity in all systems
Id, Ego, Superego
Parent, Adult, Child,
Vata, pitta, Kapha
Sattwa, Rajas, Tamas
Conscient, Subconscient, Superconscient
Even the triune Godhead knows thee not
An infinitesimal manifestation of Thine
Is the Cosmos; Primal Nature Thou art !

Sacred Geometry, the Architecture of the Universe !



Most of the Vedic Yantras have Hexagrams or the Six Pointed Star in the middle. This is ithe Tripura Sundari Yantra, which is a Master Plan of Manifestation. The Central Dot is the Bindu, the Absolute Self from which the Universe came into existence !

The Ashwaroodha Yantra normally adorns offices. This S G ( Sacred Geometry ) symbol can attract people and destroy enemies, the Seven Deadly Sins in Man.

The Sudarshana Yantra is great in destroying enemies. The Star of Lakshmi is an octagram, an eight pointed Star, which can bestow the Eightfold Prosperity.

The S G emblems can be seen adorning offices and homes in India. The temples, synagogues, churches and mosques are all built using S G.

The Star of David is also a Hexagram. So is the emblem of Auroville. The upward triangle represent Being, Knowledge, Bliss and the downward triangle Life, Mind & Matter !.

Pentagrams, hexagrams and octagrams are all used in Sacred Geometry. The Golden Ratio, the Divine Proportion or the Sectio Divina or Phi ( 1.618 ) , Pi( 3.14) are all divine numbers used in S G.

In the Sri Yantra, there are three Hexagrams or three triangles bent upward and three triangles bent downward. The Sanskrit Shat Kona is the hexagram or the Six Pointed Star.



The Fibonacci sequence gives the Golden Mean

1,1,2,3,5,8.......

If you add 1 and 1 you get 2 and if you add 2 and 3 you get 5 and so on and if you divide 5/3 or 8/5 you get 1.618 which is Phi or the Golden Mean !

The Eightfold Verse about the Remover of Obstacles !



We have said earlier about the Obstacles Removing Deity, Ganesh. He combines both Macrocosm and Microcosm. He is the Lord who can remove all impediments and hence all Hindu poetic verses start with a verse in praise of Him !

Mythologically He is the son of Shiva and Parvathi, the Father and Mother of all that is.

All occult power He bestoweth
All obstacles He removes
He is the Celestial Deity
I bow to that Mighty One !

He is worshipped on the Fourth Lunation, on Ganesh Chathurthi. . People in North India follow Ganapatya or the worship of this Deity. There are five more Tantric schools, Saura ( worship of Sun), Vaishnava ( worship of Vishnu ), Saiva ( worship of Sive ), Shaktheya ( worship of Shakti ) & Kaumara, ( the worship of Subramanya ).

With body huge
Shining like gold
To The Wisest One
My obeisances !

His face like the baby Moon
On antelope's black skin He sits
Three threads run across His body
To Him my obeisances !

The lord of the Cosmos entire
He can assume any Form
The Form the devotee wishes
To Him my obeisances !

All Knower of verities philosophic
He went around His Father and Mother
He circled Consciousness and Force
To Him my obeisances !

According to Mythology, both He and his brother, Muruga were told to circle the Universe. Muruga set out on His vehicle, the peacock, but Ganesh just circled His mother, Parvathi and father, Shiva ! He did it faster than His brother !

Universe lies inside My Mother
The Universe is Her play and display
Father is Consciousness Cosmic
So I just circled Her ! says He !

Tantra is symbolic and allegorical !






There are many who think Tantra is Sacred Sexuality and permits wealth, wine and women !

Madyam mamsam cha meenam cha
Mudra maithunam eva cha
Eka pancha makarasya
Naranam moksha dayaka


These five
Wine, meat, fish, yoga mudra and Sexuality
Are capable of conferring
Eternal Salvation !

In Vino Veritas - there is truth in wine. Alcohol is the stimulator of the Yes Function in man. It makes him one with Truth. In small doses, wine can be beneficial !

Bacchus' blessings are a treasure
And drinking is the soldier's pleasure
Rich the treasure
Sweet the pleasure
Sweet is pleasure after pain ! ( John Dryden )

Omar Khayyam also

Divorced barren Reason from the bed
And took the daughter of the wine to spouse !

Mamsa for meat stands for Mam Sah - I am He ! It is Soham reversed. Madya is not physical wine, but the Wine of Bliss stemming from Self Actualisation. Maidhuna symbolises the physical copulation of Purusha and Prakriti, the male and female components of the Ultimate. Meena is fish and represents the feminine channel, Ida and the masculine channel, the Pingala.

Apart from physical meanings, the above verse on Tantra has deep symbolic meaning !
