The New Age Has Started The New Age Has Started Date : 6th October 1981 Place : Houston Type : Public Program Speech : English Language CONTENTS I Transcript English 02 - 14 Hindi - Marathi - II Translation English - Hindi - Marathi - ORIGINAL TRANSCRIPT ENGLISH TALK Today is a sad day because such a great man like Sadat is dead. He is not great to Me because he was a great politician or he was president, but he was a saint, he was a realized soul, I knew all about him. The attack of the negativity is on but no more they will crucify a saint this way and will not face the punishment. They will be punished now. All those who tried to do such things will be punished because the new age has started. Today I wanted to tell you about the Agya chakra, about Jesus Christ who adorns this center of Agya chakra, where you see the red mark. Behind that, inside, in the brain on the crossing of the optic chiasm is this subtle center where this great Deity is placed through His crucifixion and through His Resurrection. He has created this space for us to enter into the Kingdom of God, which is placed within us. Is not in without, is the limbic area that surrounds your ego and superego. In the Puranas, in the ancient scriptures of India, Christ is described so very clearly. Actually in the Bible what they saw of Him when He was on this Earth was written down. But nothing what created Him, how He came on this Earth what is the spirit of Christ, what is the seat of Christ and how He came and what is His purpose and where does He stand within us. All these things are not described in the Bible as I told you the people at that time were not at all aware of His greatness, of His special Incarnation. But if you read some of these ancient books you'll find that He was called as Mahavishnu in the Devi Purana, in the Goddess Purana, is the ancient scripture of the Goddess. Mahavishnu was created immaculately. Now when we say that Christ always pointed out this pick is very significant. Actually this, this means Vishuddhi chakra and means also America. But this also means Vishuddhi chakra stands for Shri Krishna as I told you and He is the Primordial Being, and He is the epitome of our evolution in the sense that He is the Primordial Being who is the Father, who is the preserver. Now in the Puranas He is described that His power was Radha, Radha. Sanskrit language is absolutely very scientific as far as the Divine Laws are concerned. Ra means the energy, dha means the one that sustains. [SANSKRIT TALK] She is the one who sustains the energy and She was His power. But in India Krishna is never taken as Krishna Radha but Radha Krishna. The energy is before the deity. The lady is before the gentleman, we can say. Radha Krishna. Now this special happening took place long time back. This is at the stage of Vaikuntha as we call it, at the stage where nothing existed as far as this world was concerned. At different stages it came up. We see the world in such a way that it was created in seven days, but actually these are seven stages in when this whole Universe was created and we are at the seventh stage, we can say. Now at the first Vaikuntha stage where it was all decided, how to work it out the creation of this great personality, of the Son of God, the greatest of all, the Adhara, the support of the universe, this Mahavishnu. So Radha, She's Mahalakshmi, She is the central path. First She created Him in the Vaikuntha stage. And at that stage She decided that She'll create It by Herself this great Incarnation and She created this Mahavishnu. I would like you to get the translation of the description of Mahavishnu and also the description of Ganesha who is the Spirit of Christ and who incarnated in this, on this earth as our Lord Jesus Christ. So we have here an Incarnation, a very special one, which was conceived thousands and thousands of years back at this level where it's only the activity of the God's mind was there, Vaikuntha stage, where it was decided that this power called Radha will conceive Him in Her heart. And She conceived Him in Her heart. And then He was made like an egg. See the symbolism of Easter, like an egg. Can you recognize it? People knew about it somehow. Why do we have Easter, eggs? We never think about it. He was created like an egg out of which the half of it was kept as the seed, as Shri 2 Original Transcript : English Ganesha, as the Spirit, and a half of it was created as Jesus Christ. The whole egg was nothing but the egg of this Divine power, which has to manifest this Divine power on this Earth. This story is very beautiful, how She created and then He asked: “Who is my Father?” Radha is nobody else but Mother Mary Herself. She is Mahalakshmi. People may say that they can't believe in immaculate birth of Christ. They cannot believe in the conception of Christ. I mean you it's easy for people to say:” We don't believe.” What do they know about God? What do they know about His mysterious ways of doing it? Can you say how you convert or you transform a flower into a fruit? You don't know anything about living miracles and you start doubting the Immaculate Conception. Here, when you got your Realization I conceived you in My heart and gave you Realization through My Sahasrara. How did you get your Realization? You never thought of it. Is an impossibility. Thousands of people are getting Realization. How is it possible? There must be something special about Me and about the way it is done. In the same way She conceived and gave Him the birth through Her uterus. You can move it anywhere on your central system. And this great Incarnation came on this Earth with such a special purpose that He was nothing but Pranava, is the, this integrated power, this great power which has all the powers in it: the Iccha Shakti, the Prana Shakti and the Dharma Shakti is the central path, all of these put together. He was nothing but energy, energy put into an egg because He had to do a very great job. So this Radha Herself, this Mahalakshmi, this Mother Mary conceived this child and to name Him after Krishna who was the Father. She called Him Christ. Christ come from the word ... In Indian language is, we call Him Krist, Krishna. Krishna means the one who has sown the seed. He is the Father. He points out always to the Father. But in the Puranas it is described that Krishna said: “You are higher than Me. I placed You higher than Me”. He placed Him, you can imagine that Christ is at this point and Krishna is at this point. He placed higher Him than Him and He said: “In anywhere people worship Me – Shri Krishna said – automatically You are worshipped. You will be the support, Adhara, of the whole world.” Is wonderful to say that about I think 14000 years or 12000 years back, Markandeya, such a great saint was born in India. And he has written the complete Ganesha Stotram, means the complete praise of Ganesha. You can see the translation is so beautiful and that he said: ”You'll be so humble”. He is the one who is the ninth Incarnation called as [BAUTHA] among the ten Incarnations. That He will be so humble that He will wash the feet of His disciples. All the miracles of Christ are described in these books. But these books are not translated. And that He will be the one, when enlightened within you with the Kundalini, He will take away all your karmas and all your conditionings because He will die for your sins, for your karmas. The world will not have to suffer anymore, if He is awaken within you. These are all the things already written, thousands of years back. Can you imagine? I wish the Christians who went from here to take, explain Christianity to Indians told them that Mahavishnu is already born and we are preaching about Him, the One who is going to suck your conditioning, the One who is going to suck all your problems of karmas. They never told. On the contrary, they were so stupid, I must tell you, that they would put a loaf in a well and say that: “You all have become Christians because we have put the meat of the beef, the beef inside the well”. Indians don't eat beef, you see. “So you all have become Christians”. Villages after villages they converted into Christianity. They started branding them as Christians. This was absurd. And that's why the people were waiting and waiting for the Advent of Christ. His name Christ comes from the word Krishna, Krist, and the second one is Jesus. Krishna had a foster mother whom Radha loved very much. Her name was Yeshoda, we also call her as [Jesoda, Jeshoda]. Christ is called also as [Yesu, Yeshu] in India. The short form of [Jesoda, Jeshoda] is [Yesu, Yeshu] or [Jeshu, Jesu] we have both the things.

  • E Yoga Sutras of Patanjali in a New Transliteration by Linda Brown Holt, D.Litt
    r eads of Yoga Photo “Flight from Martin Lake” copyright Linda Brown Holt 2006 e Yoga Sutras of Patanjali in a new transliteration by Linda Brown Holt, D.Litt. Photo copyright Linda Brown Holt 2008 Publication in process 2008 ISBN pending All rights reserved Copyright Linda Brown Holt No part of this manuscript may be reproduced or paraphrased without the written permission of the author and photographer. For queries, please contact: Linda Brown Holt [email protected] www.ReligiousScholar.com INTRODUCTION “First, you must grab the thread; then, it will lead you to the rope,” said Vijayendra Pratap, Ph.D., University of Bombay, a psychologist and teacher of Yoga, in an interview in April 1993. The threads he referred to are the sutras of the legendary Indian philosopher or philosophers known to us as Patanjali; the rope is a popular meta- phor in Indian thought which represents escape from the world of delusion into the path to understanding and truth. For more than two thousand years, the strands or threads of the 196 sutras--a mala (rosary or necklace) of succinct idea-seeds which inspire rather than embody philosophical development--have provided the raw mate- rial for yogic thinkers to weave philosophical fabrics of great diversity. Thinkers within the Yoga system have used the sutras as a point of departure to develop philosophies as disparate as the so-called “scientifi c Yoga” of Sri Yukteswar in the 19th century (which presaged the contemporary fascination with correlations between East- ern mysticism and quantum physics) to the teachings of the contemporary yogi, B.K.S.

  • An Introduction to the Doctrines of Soul and Enlightenment in Mahayana Buddhism and the Baha'i Faith
    An Introduction to the Doctrines of Soul and Enlightenment in Mahayana Buddhism and the Baha'i Faith Yeo Yew Hock Abstract This article examines the development of Mahayana Buddhism, its spread to China and how the Chinese people adopted and adapted it. The Buddhist teachings on "nonself" and the "Enlightenment" are correlated with the Baha'i teachings on the soul. In particular, the journey of the soul described in Baha'u'Uah's Seven Valleys, which culminates in a state of "True Poverty and Absolute Nothingness" is likened to the Mahayana Sunyata (Tmptiness) of Nirvana. Parallels are drawn between the Baha'i "Valley of Unity" and Buddhist monism, both of which seek to go beyond all notions of duality. The central role played by the founders of the Baha'i Faith and Mahayana Buddhism on unlocking the spiritual potential of their respective followers is also compared. In both cases their teachings are best understood in terms of a way by which their followers can explore the expanses of their own hearts. Also, both in Mahayana Buddhism and the Baha'i Faith, there is an injunction to attain a balance between Wisdom and Compassion, between individual self-enlightenment and universal salvation. 36 THE SINGAPORE BAHÁÍ STUDIES REVIEW 1. Introduction Buddhism was founded by Sidharta Gotama1, an Indian prince who lived in the 6th and 5trl centuries, BC. His father was the king of a small state in the foothills of the Himalayas- He was brought up amidst the luxuries and pleasures befitting a prince. Unlike other princes, Sidharta was disenchanted, and left the sheltered life of his home to become a religious mendicant.

The ultimate truth is not far away, it is not distant. It is near you, close, closer than you are to yourself, but still you go on missing it, and you have been missing it for millions of lives. This continuous missing has become a habit. Unless this habit is broken, the closest remains the most distant; unless this habit is transcended, God, truth, or whatsoever we may call it, remains just a myth, a theory, a doctrine, a belief, but not an experience. And unless the divine is your experience, the belief is futile. It is not going to help you; on the contrary it may hinder you, because just by believing in it you deceive yourself that somehow you have known it.

Briefly, the Iseven stages of human life may be summarized as follows: In the context of the first three stages of life, the gross body-mind-complex is developed and coordinated. First, the gross physical is developed, then the emotional-sexual functions are developed and coordinated with the gross physical, and (finally) the mental functions and the function of the will are developed and coordinated with the emotional-sexual and gross physical functions. Optimally, all of this is nurtured, guided, and done in the context of love, trust, and surrender in relation to the Living Acausal Divine (or the all-and-All-Pervading and all-and-All- Transcending Real Acausal God, or Truth Itself, or Reality Itself). In the context of the fourth stage of life, this now complex psycho-physical being is surrendered beyond itself, to and into the (all-and-All-Pervading, and all-and-All-Transcending, and Self-Evidently Divine) Source (or Source-Condition) That Pervades (and, yet, Transcends) it and the total "world".

  • Division of the Self: Life After Death and the Binary Soul Doctrine
    Division of the Self: Life After Death and the Binary Soul Doctrine Peter Novak LaPorte, IN ABSTRACT: Ancient Egyptians believed that each individual had two souls, a ba and a ka, which separated at death unless steps were taken to prevent this division. Egyptian descriptions of the ba and ka are strikingly similar to modern scientists' descriptions of the conscious and unconscious halves of the human psyche. Many other cultures all over the globe believed in two souls, one like the conscious, the other like the unconscious, which separated at death. Many cultures held that one soul would go on to reincarnate, while the other would become trapped in a dreamlike netherworld. Some believed that this division could be prevented or reversed, while others saw the division as being inevitable. The two stages of near-death experiences, a detached, objective, and dispassionate "black void" followed by a subjective, relationship-oriented, and emotionally intense "realm of light," reflect the distinctions between the conscious mind and the unconscious mind. The "darkness" stage seems to be experienced exclusively through the conscious half of the psyche, while the "light" stage seems to be experienced exclusively through the unconscious, as if the two were operating independently during these episodes. A similarly polarized dichotomy can be found in the accounts of reincarnation, of the Realm of Bewildered Souls, of the void between lives, of the behavior of ghosts and apparitions, and in statements about the afterlife by parapsychologists. The "Binary Soul Doctrine" hypothesis, that the two halves of the psyche separate after death, offers a consistent explanation for these afterlife phenomena.

  • Spiritual Life and Perception
    Published in The Theosophist, May 1972 SPIRITUAL LIFE AND PERCEPTION By I. K. Taimni The Divine Wisdom, which is referred to as Brahma Vidyā in Hinduism and Theosophy in Western thought, is not essentially a system of philosophical and religious concepts or even a philosophy of life but a living Reality that can be perceived only when certain conditions of mind and heart are fulfilled. If, therefore, we want to know what this Divine Wisdom is in its innermost essence and to realize that Supreme Truth which is sought to be communicated in the highest doctrines of Occultism, we must translate our spiritual ideas into spiritual life in order to bring about these required conditions of mind and heart. The determination to know this Reality directly in the final stage and to provide gradually the necessary conditions for this purpose must always be there, and the acquisition of intellectual knowledge of Theosophy should be subordinated to the effort in this direction. Pursuit of intellectual knowledge, without a dynamic interest and earnest effort in the trans- mutation of this theoretical knowledge into real perception and actual experience, becomes to a great extent futile on account of the very nature and purpose of this supreme and unique knowledge, which is referred to as Brahma Vidyā. The Theosophical Society or any such organization devoted to the theoretical study and dissemination of the truths of spiritual life can, at best, be considered as the outermost court of the Temple of Divine Wisdom. But without a considerable number of students and aspirants engaged seriously in the realization of the truths of the Divine Wisdom, and without an innermost core of enlightened souls who have realized the Supreme Truth and are in touch with the innermost Realities, the Society would be as meaningless as a mere outermost court of a temple without the interven- ing enclosures and the Holy of holies.
