As time passes and cosmic forces wane, ceremonies are performed to release into human flesh bodies those who in their original form were eaten by animals. Reprinted from: http://www.himalayanacademy.com/resources/books/ls/ for Kundalini Awakening Systems 1 Page 3 of 207 2 The Cycle of Yugas 13 During the lush Treta Yuga, the ratio of those still in their original form diminishes with the darkening of the cosmic forces. Austerities are performed to transmute the increasing fires of instinctive desire. Records of sacred knowledge are embedded in the inner ethers to guide souls in future yugas when the veils again begin to lift. 3 The First Temples 23 During the lush Treta Yuga, the ratio of those still in their original form diminishes with the darkening of the cosmic forces. Austerities are performed to transmute the increasing fires of instinctive desire. Records of sacred knowledge are embedded in the inner ethers to guide souls in future yugas when the veils again begin to lift. 4 Gods, Goals and Gurus 35 Walled monasteries, headed by master gurus, are created to sequester unfolded souls dedicated to serving as pure channels for the divine force. Our gurus and Mahadevas carefully guard and guide us, and we commune with them at night while we sleep. We meditate lying down, with the body placed in a hole in the great wall. 5 Monastery Culture 43 While all in the monastery are in their original body, others in flesh-and-bone bodies come to study and be sent out on mission. A few are allowed to stay. Newcomers begging by the wall are closely tested. Our skills are many, including telepathy, teleportation and carving statues, always in a state of completion, until they disappear. 6 Diet and Destiny 53 Milk, seeds and nuts, honey, pollen and fruit mixed in right proportion provide our nourishment. Our main task now is preparing this planet for human life during the coming millennia. When a monastery is closed down, we form a lake to preserve the sacred vortex as a site of worship and austerity a million years hence. 7 Monastic Training 63 Training for our Lemurian priesthood is detailed and exacting, carefully outlined in akashic books. During years one and two, stories and games are the medium, as for a child. In the third year, a close interest is taken, marked by initiation, personal discipline and tests of will. During the fourth year, a pattern of duties is given. 8 Lemurian Sadhakas 71 Most of our monastics are still in original bodies. Our Lemurian sadhakas, seeking deeper admittance, are of animal lineage, and they are given duties according to the animal lineage they emerged from. Training given during the first four years prepares the young one for the rest of his life in serving as a channel for cosmic rays. Reprinted from: http://www.himalayanacademy.com/resources/books/ls/ for Kundalini Awakening Systems 1 Page 4 of 207 9 Emulating Our Original State 79 It is the discipline of the Lemurians to continually strive to be like us who still live in the original body. It is our task, our mission, to set patterns so they can hold the cosmic force after we are gone. Our monasteries are laboratories for this purpose, establishing formulas for living and recording them securely in the ether for future use. 10 Areas of Service 87 All of the Lemurian monastics are of the male gender, and those who never mated are chosen. Through the artisan-apprentice system, each is taught to serve our guru and the Mahadevas in one of the four divisions of our culture. Deep reverence is held for artisans, who can train others and thus expand our monastery population. 11 Mystic Skills 95 As in all things, the accent is on refinement, be our skill that of weaving a fabric, carving a divine image or writing a book. Our artisans sit with our guru for instructions, and our gurus conclave to discuss the future of the race. Those of the surrounding community listen to philosophical dissertation through holes in the wall. 12 The Great God, Siva 103 We have reached the era of preservation. As we come to the end of the Treta Yuga, our inner sight is dimming, as is our ability to fly. With every loss of an inner faculty, solutions are sought within our laboratories for knowledge of how to compensate. Predictions are now heard of the impending darker era called the Dvapara Yuga. 13 Continuity of Wisdom 111 Great knowledge is being developed in our Dravidian monasteries on the five great winds of the physical body to aid in its refinement, so that Self can be realized. Our gurus, with secret orders from within, are our firm guides. Many monks are sent out on a daily basis to carry the Siva darshan and teach our ancient culture. 14 Egoless Service 119 We have many subtle sciences, including that of sound, the psychic perception by which we remain closely attuned to our guru, great souls who work closely with the Mahadevas. Serving our gurus is our reason for being here, and their mission is always the same, to establish many positive channels to stabilize existing communities. 15 The Secret Order of Masters 127 Apart from the gurus who own monasteries, there exists a secret group of masters, each extreme in his actions, either loved or feared, each possessing psychic powers and all meeting in an area of the Devaloka owned by them. Each rishi of this order of the kundalini is an agent of Lord Subramaniam in setting old patterns anew. Reprinted from: http://www.himalayanacademy.com/resources/books/ls/ for Kundalini Awakening Systems 1 Page 5 of 207 16 The Yoga of Celibacy 135 As the Kali Yuga looms closer, the kundalini expresses itself through sexual desire. In our monasteries, those who previously mated perform brahmacharya tapas to dissolve psychic bonds and cease the mating instinct. Various forms of yoga are practiced to quiet the animal nerve system, mature the inner bodies and seek the Self. 17 The Monastery Wall 145 Sitting and living outside our wall are aspirants begging admittance, monks in transit and those from other monasteries adjusting to our forcefield. Guru's guards observe each one's activities during sleep. Our host speaks with them and sees to their needs. They all gather to listen when a discourse is given from the other side. 18 Guru and Disciple 153 Each of us works to follow our guru's instructions implicitly, to capture his power invested in the assignment and manifest his vision without putting our mental structure in the way of it. This is the main method of teaching to fulfill the mission. Our gurus travel constantly, and some remain incognito except to their senior disciples. 19 The Senior Minority Group 159 The guru inwardly looks at each monastery as one person, and at the groups within it like the winds of the body. Each of the monastery's four winds is special in its responsibilities -- temple, education, business, crafts. The senior group, our guru's anonymous helpers, oversees the darshan flow, monastery cleanliness and training. 20 Monastery Procedures 169 The senior minority group is made up of the senior third of the monastery population determined according to a special formula. They conclave in secret to channel the Siva darshan, to receive the guru's instructions via the Umaganesha and convey those instructions to the groups and individuals via the Hanuman and Umadeva.

Where information has been derived from other sources I confirm that this has been indicated the thesis. ABSTRACT Following twenty-five years of civil war between the Sri Lankan government troops and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a ceasefire was called in February 2002. This truce is now on the point of collapse, due to a break down in talks over the post-war administration of the northern and eastern provinces. These instabilities have lead to conflicts within the insurgent ranks as well as political and religious factions in the south. This thesis centres on how the anguish of war and its unresolved aftermath is being communicated among Tamils living in the northern reaches of Sri Lanka.

  • Sanatana-Dharma
    BASICS OF SANATANA DHARMA YUGAS • Satya Yuga (also known as Krita Yuga "Golden Age"): • The first and best Yuga. It was the age of truth and perfection. • Humans were gigantic, powerfully built, handsome, honest, youthful, vigorous, erudite and virtuous. The Vedas were one. All mankind could attain to supreme blessedness. • There was no agriculture or mining as the earth yielded those riches on its own. • Weather was pleasant and everyone was happy. There were no religious sects. There was no disease, decrepitude or fear of anything. • Human lifespan was 100,000 years and humans tended to have hundreds or thousands of sons or daughters. • People had to perform penances for thousands of years to acquire Samadhi and die. • Matsya, Kurma, Varaha and Narasimha are the four avatars of Vishnu in this yuga. • Treta Yuga: • Is considered to be the second Yuga in order, however Treta means the "Third". • In this age, virtue diminishes slightly. • At the beginning of the age, many emperors rise to dominance and conquer the world. Wars become frequent and weather begins to change to extremities. • Oceans and deserts are formed. • People become slightly diminished compared to their predecessors. • Agriculture, labor and mining become existent. Average lifespan of humans is around 1000- 10,000 years. • Vamana, ParasuRama, and Sri RamaChandra are the three avatars of Vishnu in Treta Yuga. • Dvapara Yuga: • Is considered to be the third Yuga in order. • Dvapara means "two pair" or "after two". • In this age, people become tainted with Tamasic qualities and aren't as strong as their ancestors. • Diseases become rampant.

  • Theosophy and the Arts
    Theosophy and the Arts Ralph Herman Abraham January 17, 2017 Abstract The cosmology of Ancient India, as transcribed by the Theosophists, con- tains innovations that greatly influenced modern Western culture. Here we bring these novel embellishments to the foreground, and explain their influ- ence on the arts. 1. Introduction Following the death of Madame Blavatsky in 1891, Annie Besant ascended to the leadership of the Theosophical Society. The literature of the post-Blavatsky period began with the very influential Thought-Forms by Besant and C. W. Leadbeater, of 1901. The cosmological model of Theosophy is similar to the classical Sanskrit of 6th century BCE. The pancha kosa, in particular, is the model for these authors. The classical pancha kosa (five sheaths or levels) are, from bottom up: physical, vital, mental, intellectual, and bliss. The related idea of the akashic record was promoted by Alfred Sinnett in his book Esoteric Buddhism of 1884. 2. The Esoteric Planes and Bodies The Sanskrit model was adapted and embellished by the early theosophists. 2-1. Sinnett Alfred Percy Sinnett (1840 { 1921) moved to India in 1879, where he was the editor of an English daily. Sinnett returned to England in 1884, where his book, Esoteric 1 Buddhism, was published that year. This was the first text on Theosophy, and was based on his correspondence with masters in India. 2-2. Blavatsky Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831 { 1891) { also known as HPB { was a Russian occultist and world traveller, While reputedly in India in the 1850s, she came under the influence of the ancient teachings of Hindu and Buddhist masters.

  • Finnish Journal of Ethnicity and Migration Vol
    Finnish Journal of Ethnicity and Migration Vol. 5, No. 2 / 2010 www.etmu.fi Frank Neubert Western Hindus and ‘Global Hinduism’: Discourses on Conversion to ‘Hindu Religions’, Acceptance of Converts, and Social Engagement Abstract The paper deals with the problem of (the often supposedly impossible) conversion to “Hinduism”. I start with an outline of what I call the ‘no conversion possible’ paradigm, and briefl y point to the lack of refl ection on acceptance of converts in most theories of religious conversion. Then, two exam- ples are presented: Firstly, I consider conversion to ISKCON and the discourse on the Hare Krishna movement’s Hinduness. Secondly, I give a brief outline of the global sanatana dharma movement as inaugurated by Satguru Siva Subramuniyaswami, a converted American Hindu based in Hawai’i. In the conclusion, I refl ect on (civic) social capital and engagement in global networks as a means to gain acceptance as converts to Hinduism. I argue in line with Stepick, Rey and Mahler (2009) that the religious movements’ civic engagement (in these cases engagement in favour of the Indian dia- sporic communities and of Hindus in India) provides a means for the individual, non-Indian converts to acquire the social capital that is necessary for gaining acceptance as ‘Hindus’ in certain contexts. | downloaded: 24.9.2021 Keywords: conversion, Hinduism, ISKCON, globalisation, Subramuniyaswami 1.Introduction I make reference to interactions between ISKCON and the growing Hindu diasporas in western countries. Furthermore, This paper deals with matters of conversion to ‘Hinduism’, I shall point to attempts at (re)uniting all these strands in a acceptance of converts and the mutual relations of ‘ethnic global sanatana dharma movement inaugurated, for example, Hindus’ and converts as exempli [ ed by various activities of by converted Shaivas from Hawai’i.

  • Tatvas and Gunas - (The Origin of the Universe) by R C Ganjoo Bookmark and Share
    Tatvas and Gunas - (The Origin of the Universe) by R C Ganjoo Bookmark and Share Swami Maheshwarananda has developed a comprehensive master system called "Yoga in Daily Life", based on original yoga tradition and specially directed to the situation and needs of modern civilization. The system can be lived and practised regardless of age, social status, nationality or denomination. It is internationally recognised and practised. On “Yoga in Daily Life” by Swami Maheshwarananda as told to R C GANJOO. In the beginning was SHUNYAKASHA - "emptiness" Or "the void'. Shunyakasha is more than "nothingness", it is an immense potency of dormant energy in which "everything" exists in a latent state of potentiality. Everything conceivable can be brought into existence , just like text written, or pictures drawn, on an empty sheet of paper. As creation began , the divine, all-encompassing consciousness took the form of the first and original vibration manifesting as the sound "OM". Just like light, sound is vibration, energy. Light and sound are the forms that the Divine Self takes in the Universe . OM is the reflection of the absolute reality. Om is "Adi Anadi" - without beginning or end. In the Veda (The Vedas are the oldest and most well known holy revelations), it is said. NADARUPA PARABRAHMA - (The form of the Supreme is sound) The vibrations of OM symbolises the manifestation of God in form. The silence between two OM -sound reveals the formless ,divine principle. OM embraces "all that exists"-past ,present and future, all spheres of the Cosmos, the world and its underlying reality , mind and matter, cause and effect, the path and the goal.

Received 8 May 2017; Accepted 26 October 2018 “Souls come to light after a fierce fight / among lovely „xx or xy‟ pairs at day or night” This hypothetical review is regarding the poem “Lyrical Life” which is a fourteen-line poem in a sonnet structure written by the author of this article. This article is intended to share the author‟s philosophy of life with that of other scholars and philosophers including pre-Socratic ones around the globe from ancient time to postmodern era. Human life-cycle is always a mystery and up-in-the-air issue to the people of antediluvian age, as well as to that of postmodern era, in fact, till today. The super-mystery is the origin or birth of human beings through sexual intercourse and their various stages of life—innocent infancy, playful childhood, obstreperous adolescence, extreme juvenescence, senescence, and the ultimate consequence of bereavement or quietus. The spectrum of life, and the uncertain circumstances that human beings undergo to sustain and survive is beyond their imagination. The golden segment of life is youth whereas the truest melancholy part of it is decease, demise or death and putrefaction.
