SRI BRAHMACHALAM

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

Sri Brahmachalam as seen from across Sri Bharadwaja Theertham, also known as Lobavi, Srikalahasthi!

SRI BRAHMACHALAM is the name of the holy hill which is also called as Srikalahasthi hill. Sri Brahmachalam is also referred to the region surrounding the hill known as Sri Kalahasthi. Sri Arunachalam is the name of the holy hill which is also called as Thiruvannamalai. Arunachalam is also referred to the region surrounding the hill known as Thiruvannamalai. Brahmachalam is the brain of the world whereas Arunachalam is the heart of the world. Prathyatcha Mukthi is the glory of Brahmachalam whereas Arunachalam is glorified with Smarana Mukthi.

Smaranam means Thinking. Smarana Mukthi is Liberation by Thinking. It is to be understood as the bhaktha's or the devotee's Smarana of Arunachalam which is possible only when Arunachalam thinks of the bhaktha's refined self that finally grants Arunamukthi!

Prathyatcham means Appearing and Mukthi means Liberation. Hence Prathyatcha Mukthi means Liberation by Appearing. It is to be understood as the bhaktha's or the devotee's Prathyatcha in Brahmachalam which is possible only when Brahmachalam Appears in the bhaktha's perfected self that finally bestows Brahmamukthi!!

Refining, Thinking and Arunamukthi matures respectively into Perfecting, Appearing and Brahmamukthi!!!

Sri Arunachalam as seen from across the Arunachaleswara Swamy Temple!

There are two temples for Lord Sri Arunachaleswara Swamy in Arunachalam apart from the colossal hill Arunachalam being regarded as Lord Sri Arunachaleswara Himself. The older of the two temples is Aadhi Arunachaleswarar Temple, also called as Adi Annamalai in Tamil simply because it is in the vicinity just beneath the Arunachala hill. The other is the modern temple found in the town of Thiruvannamalai which can also be called as Adi Annamalai as it is also in the vicinity just beneath the Arunachala hill. Hence, Adi Annamalai is a misnomer for Aadhi Annamalai!

Aadhi Arunachaleswarar Temple’s ‘Dharmakartha’ – i.e. Chief Trustee is Sri Brahma and the grand temple in the town of Sri Arunachaleswarar’s ‘Dharmakartha’ is Sri Vishnu incarnate Sri Venugopala Swamy. The Aadhi Arunachaleswarar Temple is considered as the miniature blue-print based on which was built the big temple in the town of Arunachalam.

In contrast, there is only one temple adjacent to the hill at Brahmachalam, i.e. Srikalahasthi. The Gaali Gopuram, the biggest temple tower, stands disconnected with the sanctum sanctorum of Sri Kalahastheeswara Swamy temple. Arunachalam appears vertical while Brahmachalam appears horizontal. The 16 year old huntsman Thinnan, on the 6th day of his unorthodox but compassionate worship, who gouged his right eye and transplanted upon Sri Kudumithevar’s bloody right eye thinking that it might stop the bleeding, tried to repeat the same trick when he saw blood issuing out of the left eye, but his effort was curbed by the grace of Sri Brahmachaleswara Swamy who is none other than Sri Kudumithevar and Sri Kalahastheeswara Swamy, yelled at the ardent lad: "Nillu, Kan Appa!, Nillu, Kan Appa!!", meaning: "Stop, don’t engraft eye!" hence the name Sri Kannappa granting him deliverance decreeing that he would thereafter stay to His right. At the grace of the Lord, the priest Sivakosariyar watched hiding behind these activities of Sri Kannappa leading to liberation.

Sri Kudumithevar and Sri Kannappa watched by priest Sivakosariyar

There is a shrine dedicated to Sri Kannappa upon the hill where the episode of Thinnan transforming into Sri Kannappa took place. There we see Sri Kannappa to the right side of Sri Kudumithevar. In the sannidhi of Lord Sri Kalahastheeswara Swamy in the sanctum sanctorum, we see Sri Kannappa to His right. There is also another statue of Sri Kannappa to the right side of the sannidhi of Sri Kalahastheeswarar opposite the grand pillar facing the sannidhi justifying that Sri Kannappa would stay to His right.

Apart from these three idols of Sri Kannappa, one uphill in separate shrine and two within the temple premises, there is the sacrosanct shrine, facing the direction of the majestic Gaali Gopuram, situated at one of the corners of the mysterious quadrangle. All the ‘Neyvedhyam’ meant for Sri Kalahastheeswara Swamy should be first offered Sri Kannappa at his quadrangle’s corner shrine.

The Sannadhi of Lord Sri Kalahastheeswara Swamy, Srikalahasthi

The Urchava Moorthies of Lord Sri Kalahastheeswara Swamy and other gods circumambulate this quadrangle on festival occasions. The Urchava Moorthies of Sri Gnanaprasunambika Devi sametha Sri Kalahastheeswara Swamy will go round the Brahmachalam, i.e. Srikalahasthi hill, especially after Sivaraathri.

On the other extreme of the hill is a shrine called Sri Sahasthralinga Swamy. There is a temple in ruins dedicated to Lord Brahma situated slightly above the ground close to the hill at the backyard of the big temple in the vicinity near the entrance steps leading to the temple of Sri Kannappa uphill. There is seen the Brahmalingam, with four faces conjoined at four directions to the central lingam.

At the entrance to the big temple is seen a replica of the Brahmalingam in the shrine of Sri Baalagnaanaprasunaambika Devi Sametha Sri Panchamukheeswara Swamy. This shrine is also called as the shrine of Sri Baalakaalahastheeswara Swamy. The enigma of the quadrangle is associated with the holy temple dedicated to Sri Brahmachaleswara Swamy who is Sri Virat Viswakarma Parabrahma!

The quadrangle and the Gaali Gopuram are the remnants of the sacred temple dedicated to Sri Brahma or Sri Brahmachaleswara. Nowhere in the globe is Sri Brahma worshipped! There is no temple in his honour. The images of Brahma found in the temples of Siva or Vishnu or any other gods entertain no particular importance. They are underrated to fill the gap. But the most important event of these dominating deities’ temples is christened as Brahmothsavam, i.e. the event of Brahma! Before the Mohammedans and Christians invading India by desecrating many Hindu temples inflicted with conversion motives, there have been the same as far as the worship of Sri Brahma is concerned. There is truth in postulating that no religion or religious worship is perfect unless it is free of inconsistencies and contradictions. These imperfections tend to distract by way of inventing numerous gods in succession to add on to the rigmarole.

There is a desecrated statue of Goddess Sri Gnaanaprasunaambika Devi seen near Sri Panchamukheeswara Swamy shrine. The present statue of the consort of Lord Sri Kalahastheeswara Swamy had been sculpted from a monolith along with two others, viz., the statues of Sri Kamakshi and Sri Varadharaja Perumal. The former is the presiding deity of the Kamakshi temple of Kancheepuram and the latter is the presiding deity of the Varadharaja Perumal temple situated in the precincts of the enigmatic quadrangular of Srikalahasthi.

Malik Kafur was notorious for the destruction of many temples in India. In order to evade the invasion of Alauddin Khilji’s eunuch general, Malik Kafur, who himself had been a converted Muslim, during the 13th-14th centuries, it was decided to pile up the entire chamber enclosing the inner shrine of Lord Sri Kalahastheeswara Swamy with bran sacks and alike. A duplicate Kalahastheeswara Lingam was made and kept in the temple premises. The confused squad of Malik Kafur desecrated the duplicate image and the idol of the presiding goddess of the temple and fled.

The concept of Brahmmam is mathematical and in contrast against all other notions mostly based on belief, hearsay, idiosyncrasies, etc., leading to the blunder called religion. People tend to rephrase religion by religioising even science, cricket, cinema, etc. Religion of any kind by default is subjected to imminent collapse at one point or later chiefly due to its inconsistencies.

Like religious fanatics fighting in defense of their religions, say, christians converting non-christians, muslims desecrating temples, churches, etc., siva worshippers called saivas and vishnu worshippers called vaishnavas conspired and ousted Brahma worship for their own loss! Later, these two fanatics started quarrelling against each other giving way to all other similar never-ending disputes.

They commit all sorts of transgressions who call themselves brahmins; do they really worship the Brahmmam in whose name they boast their cults with? No! How dare the worshippers of siva and vishnu call themselves brahmins? Isn’t it a primal flaw? A primal flaw gives way to exposure if pursued seriously! Like the just mentioned brahmins, there are people who call themselves christians, muslims, etc., who do all sorts of delinquencies, mudslinging, nitpicking against their counterparts. They brag that they are stern supporters of their religions without any keen assessment of their imposed beliefs, be it by brainwashing or passed on faiths or any other fixated means. Religion cannot be seriously pursued! If seriously pursued, one becomes irreligious resulting in enlightenment!

The reverberating truth of Brahmmam is ever ubiquitous! All that has been lamented as the fallacies of the Brahmmam are corruptions by those who failed to grasp the ever perfect idea i.e. the Brahmmam!

Before Sri Kannappa, there are references of Lord Rama’s visit to Srikalahasthi in the Ramayana. Prior to Rama, Sri the Spider, Kala the Snake and Hasthi the Elephant worshipped Lord Brahmachaleswara Swamy and attained Mukthi, on behalf of their names, He is called as ‘Srikalahastheeswara.’ We see the five impressions at the head of the Srikalahastheeswaralingam depicting Sri the Snake, the two trunks on either side of the same representing Hasthi the Elephant, Sri the Spider at its base and Sri Kannappa’s offering, i.e. his right eye, at the centre of it. The Brahmachaleswaralingam is unique and it clearly embodies the primordial. It is not the Sivalingam but the Brahmalingam! Abhishekam of the Lord is performed with raw camphor mixed water. The Brahmalingam is encompassed by the Vayulingam which is Sri Brahma. The base of the Brahmalingam is Sri Vishnu. Hence the ubiquitous name, Brahma-Chala-Eeswara! The Kalahastheeswaralingam is realised as the Panchaantharmukhalingam! It is shielded in front by the Navagraha Kavacham, its 9 digits representing the Navagrahas, the 27 Nakshathras are equally distributed into the 9 digits as 3 little stars each!

The majestic Srikalahasthi Gaali Gopuram on the banks of Swarnamukhi

The Gaali Gopuram of Srikalahasthi had been built by Sri Krishnadevaraya during 1510-1516 AD. There ought to be a similar one in its place which Sri Krishnadevaraya must have rebuilt or renovated! On 26th May, 2010, the famous Gaali Gopuram of Srikalahasthi collapsed completely around 8 PM. A temple tower getting collapsed like this has hardly been ever heard. The temple authorities have been maintaining the sanctum sanctorum very badly for the past few decades, disfiguring the architecture of the temple to make way for queues with the fences, special Rahu-Kethu Sarpadosha Poojas, bombing the adjacent hill to pave way leading to the Bharadwaja Theertham (Lobavi), numb-watching several buildings infest around the temple as well as the Gaali Gopuram and more all due to ignorance.

The Gaali Gopuram few years ago!

The Gaali Gopuram—A Closer View!

There have been reports of similar cracks in the other Gopurams guarding the temple precincts like the Gaali Gopuram before it fell. Pothuluri Veera Brahmendra Swamy predicted in his Kaalagnaanam that the Kalahastheeswaralingam would move away to Srisailam and crocodiles amass the inner shrine of Lord Venkateswara in Thirumala. He never mentioned about the fall of the Gaali Gopuram of Srikalahasthi. His false prediction that "sparrows seated on top of the submerged Srikalahasthi Gaali Gopuram would quench thirst by just bending down!" has now put the validity of his Kaalagnaanam in miserability.

The surrounding hilly region blasted to make way for traffic at Lobavi!

It is time for the hidden truth of the place and the temple of Srikalahasthi to unfold on its own after the collapse of the Gaali Gopuram.

The Sthalavrukshas of Srikalahastheeswara's temple are Vilva and Mahizha! The Vilva tree is worshipped with camphor and other offerings in the passage behind the Ashtothralingam Shrine leading to the main entrance of the temple. It is seen as a sapling nowadays and not maintained well to grow as a tree like in the old times. However the other Sthalavruksha Mahizha is adorned by a raised marble square around it and people worship it with turmeric, vermilion and other paraphernalia and some of them tie their Sankalpas or wishes, in the form of sacred threads, bands, tiny cradles, etc., to the tree and its branches, the prayers are mostly, if unmarried, to get married soon or if childless, to beget a child!

The steps to Sri Kannappa Shrine uphill had recently been renovated and the back entrance to the temple is presently decorated with a Mandapam.

Sri Kannappa worshipped not the present Srikalahastheeswaralingam found inside the Srikahalahastheeswara temple which is at the base of the hill. He worshipped the Brahmalingam with one of the five faces of Sri Brahma’s as Bahirmukha, i.e., external face, appearing on it upon the hill of Sri Brahmachalam. The other four internal faces in that case are termed as Antharmukhas.

There are six forms of Sri Brahma, viz., five internal faces (Srikalahastheeswaralingam) , four internal faces (Sri Ekamukhalingam), three internal faces, two internal faces, one internal face (Panchamukheeswaralingam) and all external faces Srimadh Virat Viswakarma Parabrahmam) of the Brahmalingam. The flickering of one of the two lamps near the Srikalahastheeswaralingam is attributed to indicate the presence of Vayulingam. But in reality, it is the technique of putting the wick in such a way that one of the two lamps flickers and the other not. This shaking lamp near the Srikalahastheeswaralingam is a later development like the Golden Lizard kept recently in the ceiling near the Dhvajasthambam of Lord Srikalahastheeswara Swamy Sannidhi which is similar to the famous Lizard in Kancheepuram Varadharaja Swamy Temple.

The sole distinction between the Brahmalingam and the Sivalingam is that the former is identified with faces, irrespective of whether they are internal or external of the lingam and the latter is a mere lingam without faces externally and more particularly internally! The Brahmalingam like Srikalahastheeswaralingam with all its five faces residing internally as panchaantharmukham appears as the Sivalingam externally! This is the root of all confusions to mistake Siva as Brahma and to attribute Brahma's qualities to Siva to the extent of suppressing the crucial worship of Brahma! To warn such menace, there are five protrusions on the top of Srikalahastheeswaralingam along with other unique characteristics of Lord Sri Brahmachaleswara Swamy who is the chief deity of Sri Brahmachalam i.e. Srikalahasthi. The episode of Sri Kannappa is also a latter addition like the story of the Spider Sri, the Snake Kala and the Elephant Hasthi for changing the original name Sri Brahmachalam to Srikalahasthi! Panchamukhabrahma is also called Panchamukheeswara for He alone is the Brahmeswara! He digests Siva for He is the Lingajeeranamoorthi! The reason for His five faces Eesanyam, Thathpurusham, Agoram, Vamadevam and Sathyojatham is for the purpose of creation, protection, destruction, cryption and salvation. His Veda is perfect and is called the Brahma Vedam.

For disorder’s sake, Sri Brahma’s quintessential five-fold nature of works are reduced to two, namely, protection by Vishnu and destruction by Siva and they share the remaining tasks, viz., creation, cryption and salvation equally among themselves in order that imperfection would also be given a chance! Confusion prevails when Siva and Vishnu takeover to mimic Brahma! Disorder and imperfection gradually lead to imbalances which in turn lead to mahapralaya resulting in mahasrushti. Siva and Vishnu are mere tools of Sri Brahma and no more and no less than that. When the World turns incurably into a disorderly mess, Sri Parabrahma (Brahma, Vishnu and Siva combined) initiates Mahapralaya, i.e. total destruction, by appearing growing extending towards the base and the apex within Siva as Lingodhbhavamoorthi to wipe out the entire cosmos and after the process called digestion of Siva, as Lingajeeranamoorthi, super-create the Universe,known as Mahashrushti and super-protect it, termed as Maharaksha, afterwards. The Antharmukham in the form of the Lingodhbhavamoorthi and the Bahirmukhams of Sri Parabrahma digests completely the entirety of Siva during all Mahapralayas.

Sri Parabrahma (the Trinity) during Mahapralaya appearing in Siva as Lingodhbhavamoorthi expanding in either ways as a column of fire, Brahma as Hamsa (Swan) chasing the top and Vishnu as Varaha (Boar) the abyss and Saraswathi as Thazhampoo (Screw Pine Flower/Pandanus odoratissimus) in Brahma’s grip!

Please refer to the following two tracts I have written in this regard:-
Sri Arunachala Puranam Revisited
Sri Paavaadairaayan

Why are the Vaahanas for Sri Annamalaiyar and Sri Unnamulai Amman the same, i.e. Sri Nandhi?

About the Mounts or Vaahanas of the Trinity Gods & Goddesses:-

Sri Brahma: Cob Swan (Male Swan)
Sri Saraswathi: Pen Swan (Female Swan)

Sri Vishnu: Garuda (Eagle)
Sri Lakshmi: Owl

Sri Siva: Nandhi (Bull)
Sri Sakthi: Lion

An interpretation says that they share the same Vaahana because they are one. That is, Annamalaiyar is Ardhanaareeswara swarupa. He is both Siva and Sakthi.

This explanation as to the same Vaahana, i.e. the Bull, Sri Nandhi to Sri Annamalaiyar and to Sri Unnamulai Amman is based on Siva's yielding the left portion of His Entirety to Sri Parvathi to be known as Sri Ardhanaareeswara! This in no way justifies the grounds for the Nandhi Vaahana for both Sri Annamalaiyar and to Sri Unnamulai Amman found in Thiruvannamalai's Big temple and its miniature, the Aadhi Annamalaiyar temple! The Ardhanaareeswara concept may be suitable for the Sri Kokilaambal sametha Sri Kalyaanasundareswarar temple in Thirumancheri where Nandhi is the common Vaahana of the presiding deities.

Sri Unnamulai Amman is Sri Sarvanaareeswara. She is the female form of Lord Sri Siva. As Sri Mohini is the female form of Lord Sri Vishnu, the female form, or the sibling of Lord Sri Siva is Goddess Sri Saraswathi. The female form of Lord Sri Brahma or His sibling is none other than Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi. Likewise, the female form or sibling of Lord Sri Vishnu is Sri Sakthi or Sri Parvathi. Thus goes the relationship of the gods!

In all of us reside our respective female or male forms according as the body being male or female respectively!

In the case of Sri Arunachaleswara Swamy, 'Runam' means 'Annuvathu', i.e. 'United maritally!' Therefore 'Arunam' means 'Annaathathu', i.e. 'Can't be united maritally!' Hence His match or Consort is extracted from Himself so that the extracted also is like Him, i.e. She is 'Sri Aruna' or 'Sri Arunachaleswari', etc. Because He is Annamalai, She is Unnamulai and vice versa!! Sri Arunachala is Sri Siva, the male form of Sri Unnamulai Amman which implies in turn that Sri Apeethakuchambal is Sri Siva's female form!

It is only keeping with this truth of Sri Arunachalam that Sri Nandhi Vaahana adorns the Sanctum Sanctorums of Sri Annamalaiyar as well as Sri Unnamulai Amman respectively!

Definitely, Sri Unnamulai Amman is not Sri Sakthi! This is clearly evident from the Hamsa Kavacham adorned at the base of Sri Unnamulai Amman's statue seen in Her Moolavar Sannidhi of Sri Arunachaleswara Swamy temple in Thiruvannamalai.

Sri Annamalaiyar and Sri Unnamulai Amman are Sri Sarvanareswari and Sri Sarvanaareeswara respectively! Eeswaram is the primordial form of Eeswara and Eeswari! Eeswaram and Brahmmam are respectively correlated as Zero (0) and Infinity (∞)! It is further elaborated that Eeswara (+0) and Eeswari (-0) are equated to Eeswaram (0) by the mathematical equation: 0 = ± 0. The product of Brahmmam (∞) and Eeswaram (0) is the Universe of Creation or of the Logical Discouse! That is, by mathematical terms: ∞ × 0 = N where N represent Numbers of all sorts! In our elucidation, we take Numbers as Narayanam!

Arunachalam and Brahmachalam are the sacred hummocks representing Sri Saraswathi and Sri Brahma respectively. Also, they represent the Trinities and all possible gods! Sri Narayanam as Sri Anantha Padhmanaabha Swamy is made up of the created, i.e., the Numbers! Sri Brahma appears seated on the Lotus sprouted from Sri Narayana's or the Kaalagarbha's or Time's womb's navel! Sri Anantha is Sri Brahma and Sri Padhmanaabha Swamy is Sri Chalam. Based on this context, Sri Anantha Padhmanaabha Swamy is called Sri Brahmachalam! In Brahmmam = Anantham = Infinity, there are Zero and Numbers! In Chalam = Narayanam = Numbers, there is Zero. Hence, Sri Brahmachalam is Sri Brahmachaleswara Swamy encompassing Sri Brahma, Sri Narayana and Sri Eeswara! The following portrait is also called, 'Sri Naaraayanaasanaanantha Swamy!'

Sri Naaraayanaasanaanantha Swamy!

Parabrahmmam is Brahma—Anantha—Aanandham! Brahmaanandham is the Perfect—Bliss. Creation is the quintessential among the five-folded processes of Perfection. Creation comes to an end when Sri Brahma is satisfied. When Sri Brahma is satisfied, in order to stay Perfect, He dismantles His satisfied Mind, i.e. Sri Brahma's Ego, entrusting It to eradicate imperfection if any, in His entirety, due to His momentary satisfaction. If there is imperfection, Brahma's satisfied Ego prepares for Total Destruction. Otherwise, when everything is Perfect, Brahma's satisfied Ego merges in the Brahmmam along with the perfectly created and this is called as the Brahmamoksha or Brahmamukthi!

Sri Brahmachalam is the Aadhi, Madhyamam, Anumadhyamam and Antham of Sri Arunachalam. Sri Aadhi Arunachalam represents birth of it as Brahma's satisfaction incarnate Ego which is a self imposed check of Brahma's perfection. Sri Madhyama Arunachalam represents the shift of Brahma's satisfied Ego to the cosmic container Sri Vishnu in order to effect imbalance resulting in chaos. Sri Anumadhyama Arunachalam is the advent of Brahma's satisfied Ego en route Sri Vishnu in the cosmic eraser Sri Siva as Sri Lingodhbhavanamoorthi on the ordeal to wipe out the cosmic dust. And Sri Antha Arunachalam represents the emergence of Brahma's satisfied Ego as Sri Lingodhbhavamoorthi in Sri Sivalingam in its end of mission by digesting the cosmic dust, the cosmic container and the cosmic eraser termed as Sri Lingajeeranamoorthi leading to Arunamukthi by ardent Refining and Thinking and resuming the process of perfection by creation awaiting for Brahma's satisfaction in the Prathyatcham or Appearance of Brahma's Ego again which qualifies the Perfected culminating in the coveted Brahmamukthi!

Since Sri Arunachalam is the manifestation of Sri Brahma's satisfied Ego, in all its courses until fulfillment of checking perfection in Sri Brahma's enterprise, Sri Brahma's consort Sri Saraswathi also accompanies Brahma's satisfied Ego in the venture. To embody this, Sri Saraswathi adorns Sri Arunachaleswara as Sri Aruna, also known as Sri Apeethakuchambal!

Sri Brahma's vistas range even beyond the five-folded aspects of Jagrath the waking, Swapna the dreaming, Sushupthi the dreamless sleep, Thuriya the consciousness and Thuriyaatheetha the transcendental. Sri Brahmi accompanies Sri Brahma in each and every enterprise. Sri Thuriyaatheetha Saraswathi is the consort of Sri Thuriyaatheetha Brahma!

Sri Brahmachaleswara Swamy is Sri Parabrahma, Sri Gnanaprasunambika Devi is Sri Parabrahmi and their communion is Sri Parabrahmmam! The ideal temple of Sri Parabrahmmam is the Perfected Self alone as derived from the Brahmasoothra, 'Aham Brahmaasmi!' It is said that the Srikalahasthi temple has been built and rebuilt for several times based on varying principles. In fact, there is no structure man-made that stands the test of time, there is none by nature animate or inanimate lasting for ages and there is nothing that encompasses the Parabrahmmam eternally except itself! Sri Brahmachalam is always enshrined in Sri Parabrahmmam and the vice versa!

ON APPROXIMATING GOD

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

IF an ardent Mind cultivates the habit of segregating things in its attempt to digest the schema of the state of affairs concerning terms such as God, Godhood, Goddics, ... , Goddist, it only befall into the gorgeous traps of Numerising the NEUTRAL ZERO that is THE GOD. Estimating the Truth as to how its hold upon our Psyche will be without absorbing in it is a folly. Gauging the Void without being unable to grip it is a hurdle. Evaluating the Immathematical by means of Mathematical manipulations is a waste of energy and time. We cannot be satisfied with the fake of approximation for so long a time and roam like a somnambulist suppressing our Will to realise and deduce our Inner Wisdom.

GOD IS NOT ONE BUT ALSO NOT TWO AND IS ZERO. And ZERO is in INFINITY but not the vice versa Mathematically, so to speak. In other words, Zero is condensed Infinity whereas Infinity is expanded Zero. These are tautological theories in the Numeristic perspectives of the World. But Zero is Nonnumeric in its Absolute Crux. The Pythagoreans thought that All things were Numbers and believed that by investigating the Numbers lay the clue to God. Most of the Materialists think likewise even now. If God demotes Himself, then only He yields to such transient bluffs. All Material must have to deteriorate and perish by the way of refining itself in the process of transcending into Divinity. Centuries had gone by practicing the Material Mathematics with the Numbers representing the bricks that get composed into the Pseudo Structures and dense the mortal world. In that case, mortality is a boon in order to wipe out the dust and maintain the niceties of the world for posterity.

Human Life has to wobble between Zeros, from origination till its destination. Can you suggest any number without Zero? If you tell 2, for example, then let me explain that 2 + 0 = 2. Therefore, Zero is the container of each and every Number that is we Humans. What we do is misjudged as the thing authored by us. It is in actuality the doing of our Transcendental Self, i.e. Zero that does not bother even if we ignorant Numbers claim that we are responsible for the Ubiquitous Vistas of the Universe!

We as a Sum-Total should bring about the Liberation En Masse and transform into Zero. Until then, we must train and tame the God of Ego, i.e. the Mind that resides as a residue, like the Number in communion with the Zero, as the Body embracing the INNER SELF of US to never cross its limits in approximating GOD and found a Pseudo World!

Some Aphorisms to process our Musical Souls: -

"Classical Music and Modern Music are relative terms. Future is being digested Presently and ejected into the Past. The ejected is classified into Immortally Classical (that can be cherished!) and Mortally Evaporational (or Excretional!)".

"Absolute Music is the eternal stuff of Classical Music that can be revived into Modern Music! In short, reviving is the real meaning of our inherent musical souls in order to stay alive in the present, willing for the everlasting bliss of the Divine!"

"The pre-ordained duty of the bliss of Divine Music is to churn the thought bank, i.e. the Mind continuously at the cataclysmic climax of which the Kundalini Amrutam or the Ectoplasmic Ambrosia is evoked in the brain resulting in Moksha."

"A Soul (=Spirit) has to be Poetically Inspired, Musically Matured, Philosophically Refined & Mathematically Perfected in order to Transform itself into Godhood."

THE FAUX PAS OF RAMANA

2008-09-11T16:31:00.017+05:30

THE FAUX PAS OF RAMANA
BY
S. MAHESHKUMAR

THE utmost unfortunate incident in my life had been the influence of Ramana and his confusion prone contradictory teachings. I had wasted more than a quarter of a century from 1982 to 2008 in dabbling with the preachings of Ramana. I would have been continuing like that as a Ramana-maniac or shortly Ramaniac but recently I was relieved of the devil as a result of the precarious and vicarious attitudes of the people belonging to Ramana’s younger brother’s family who runs the ashram called Ramanasramam as well as some of the parasites of Ramana’s family ashram along with the past and present Ramaniacs.

I was introduced to Ramana during 1982-83 by my maternal uncle Mr. Shanmuga Sundaram when we were discussing rational philosophy. Later Mr. Illaiyaraja guided me to Ramanasramam when I met him at his residence around 7 a.m. on 26th January 1987 asking about the details as to the availability of the book ‘Arunmozhi Thoguppu’ that he oftentimes quoted as a source of his inspiration. As per Illaiyaraja’s suggestion, I had contacted either by letters the Ramanasramam Book Depot or by visits to Ramanasramam and availed the cited book along with many others in a series ending in April, 2008 when I payed my last visit to Ramanasramam. I had honestly searched for clarity in those books that they always lacked dishonestly.

Why do many ardent devotees leave Ramana? The list includes the maiden English biographer of Ramana, B. V. Narasimha Swami, who later changed camps and popularised Shirdi Sai Baba by founding the All India Shirdi Sai Baba Samaj, even Paul Brunton cast aside Ramana and clung to his original faith during his last days, the Paramacharya of Kanchi who had earlier guided Paul Brunton to Ramana objected later when a miniature Arunachaleswarar shrine was built on the samadhi of Ramana’s mother, … so on.

There were mints of faux pas of Ramana that explain the prevalent collapse of his stature. First, he started as a truant by escaping from his mundane responsibilities to Tiruvannamalai when his elder brother out of concern asked him to concentrate in studies and partake along with him to raise their fatherless family. Just like a person who thought he had escaped successfully forever from his household duties by living in a secluded orphanage was forced not only to look after his mundane needs but also to care for his fellow dwellers in the asylum in a larger scale.

From beggar to bhagavan, Ramana’s career flourished into fame and affluence acquiring an ashram of assets that in the end he even wrote a will of properties in favour of his younger brother’s lineages that led not to Ramanasramam but to Ramana’s family ashramam.

About Ramana’s fake death experiences, which he claimed had burnt his ego completely, there were plenty of incidents that expose his monstrous and mighty ego which had grown untamed to gorgeous proportions. When a dog chased aggressively a squirrel and passed by the side of strolling Ramana in his mid sixties with his attendants, he shouted “dhushta” and threw his walking stick over the dog in defence of the fleeing squirrel and fell down resulting in bone injury. This was one of the innumerable instances revealing Ramana’s undestroyed ego.

To analyse Ramana’s confusions and contradictions, take the case of his repeatedly saying about the location of the Heart that it was in the right side of the chest. The physical heart is situated at the left; if the Heart that he had been referring to was the spiritual heart, let it be for a while. Ramana defended his statement by citing that people usually touch with their right hand fingers at the right side of their chests when they refer to themselves. I had noticed in many instances with the left-handers in similar situations that they point with their left hand fingers at the left side of their chests when they refer to themselves.

In the book, ‘Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi’, there is an entry dated 2nd April, 1937, No. 380. This crucial dialogue between a serious aspirant and jesting Ramana testifies the ensnared Ramana:

380. A European gentleman asked: How do you answer the question, “Who are you?”
Maharshi: Ask yourself the question, “Who am I?”
Devotee: Please tell me how you have found it. I shall not be able to find it myself. (The ‘I’ is the result of biological forces. It results in silence. I want to know how the Master finds it.)
M.: Is it found only by logic? The scientific analysis is due to intellect.
D.: According to J. C. Bose, nature does not make any difference between a worm and a man.
M.: What is Nature?
D.: It is that which exists.
M.: How do you know the existence?
D.: By my senses.
M.: ‘My’ implies your existence. But you are speaking of another’s existence. You must exist to speak of “my senses”. There cannot be ‘my’ without ‘I’.
D.: I am a poor creature. I come to ask you, Great Master that you are, what this existence is. There is no special significance in the word existence. He exists, I exist and others exist. What of that?
M.: The existence of any one posited, shows your own existence. “Existence is your name.”
D.: There is nothing strange in anything existing.
M.: How do you know its existence—rather than your own existence?
D.: What is new in the existence of anything? I take up your book and read there that the one question one should ask oneself is “Who am I?” I want to know “Who are you?” I have my own answer. If another says the same, and so too, millions of others, there is the probability of the Self. I want a positive answer for the question and no playing with words.
M.: In this way you are in the region of probabilities at the best.
D.: Yes. There are no certainties. Even God cannot be proved to be absolute certainty.
M.: Leave God alone for the time being. What of yourself?
D.: I want confirmation of the Self.
M.: You seek the confirmation from others. Each one though addressed as ‘you’, styles himself ‘I’. The confirmation is only from ‘I’. There is no ‘you’ at all. All are comprised in ‘I’. The other can be known only when the Self is posited. The others do not exist without the subject.
D.: Again, this is nothing new. When I was with Sir C. V. Raman, he told me that the theory of smell could be explained from his theory of light. Smell need no longer be explained in terms of chemistry. Now, there is something new; it is progress. That is what I mean, when I say that there is nothing new in all the statements I hear now.
M.: ‘I’ is never new. It is eternally the same.
D.: Do you mean to say that there is no progress?
M.: Progress is perceived by the outgoing mind. Everything is still when the mind is introverted and the Self is sought.
D.: The Sciences—what becomes of them?
M.: They all end in the Self. The Self is their finality.
(It was 5 p.m.; Sri Bhagavan left the hall and the gentleman left for the station.)

Throughout his life, Ramana made a fuss with his ‘Who am I?’ arguments. A lady sat before Ramana at his prime and kept on weeping. When she was asked for the reason of her weeping, she replied that saints like Arunagirinathar and Pattinathar had scolded the womenfolk in their poems and she was weeping before Ramana just because of a verse in his Arunachala Aksharamanamalai that similarly yell at the womenfolk. It is the verse No. 20:

“கூர்வாட் கண்ணியர் கொடுமையிற் படாதருள்
கூர்ந்தெனைச் சேர்ந்தரு ளருணாசலா!”

It means: Graciously merge with me evading the tortures of the piercingly sword eyed, Arunachala!

Ramana was embarrassed at the lady devotee’s sadness and consoled her that the person who had written those verses had vanished long ago and added further that the verse was meant only against the bad women.

I had once written a short comparative study of the mathematician-philosopher René Descartes and Ramana. Descartes’ cartesianism was original whereas Ramana’s self-enquiry teachings were extracted from Gnana Vasishtam which is also called Yoga Vasishtam. With his confusions, Ramana presented a corrupted version of the treatise of Sage Vasishta as if he had experienced the essential truth of it. Vasishta was Lord Rama’s maiden guru and the son of Lord Brahma. Vasishta’s teachings to Rama chiefly constitute the theme of Gnana Vasishtam.

Athma Vicharam or self-enquiry graduates into Athma Samarpanam or self-surrender. If the supreme wisdom is attainable by Athma Vicharam alone, what is the use of Athma Samarpanam?

The Id that is the Ego which is the EGOID is the Spent Energy of Brahma. It cannot be destroyed or produced similar to the law of conservation of energy, viz., “Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; one form of energy can be converted into another but the total energy remains the same.”

The axiom of indestructibility of Ego is: “Ego can never be created nor destroyed; it can only be shrinked or expanded.”

The course of the Spent Energy of Brahma is to rejuvenate and recharge itself to be able to refine and perfect by the process of life, work and time until it is transformed into the Absolute Brahma Shakthi.

Brahma’s perspiration is the Ego and Ego’s perspiration is the Brahma. They are connected by this eternal equation. Why is it that Brahma exerts by spending his energy? We all work to tend to equilibrium, to maintain harmony, and likewise, Brahma uses the inconsistent energies that accumulate within his enterprise, by spending to build the cosmos, by expansion and contraction simultaneously causing reverberations resulting in a state of taut. The infinitesimal Ego interacts with the infinite Brahma and this phenomena animates everywhere in the universe for good!

Athma Vicharam is completed when the Vichari or enquirer learns that the Ego cannot be destroyed and as a result of that wisdom, the Vichari tames the Ego to finally transform into the Absolute Brahmmam and this is done by Athma Samarpanam. Athma Vicharam matures into Athma Samarpanam! Ego is the relentless master and true guru that is notoriously misunderstood like Brahma but by its tasks for refinements and perfections, it is destined to succeed in reaping the benefits of its transformation into the Absolute Brahmmam!

Muruganar was the Tamil influence and literary ghost of Ramana. He ruthlessly abandoned his devoted wife in order to fall prey to Ramana. He authored several confused doctrines, many a second rate adaptations like Thiruvachakam reworked into Ramana Sannidhi Murai, etc. Most of his poems boast that Ramana was not the body, but when Ramana passed away, he was really upset till his own passing away contradicting the message he intended for others in his confused poems.

Sadhu Om was infected with vicarious feelings that were the chief by product of his Ramana pursuit. By vicariousness is meant the second hand feeling, the false thinking of associating oneself with heroic deeds or any other thing that one cannot actually attain or achieve, for example. He answered to his followers as if he was possessed by Ramana. Like the miniature Arunachaleswarar shrine over the samadhi of Ramana’s mother, Sadhu Om’s followers had built one such upon his mortal remains. It is like a confusion causing multiple confusions around it!

Preaching and practice differed in Ramana’s deeds and thinking that could be ascribed to the false premises that he had started with. This was the root cause of the confusions and contradictions in his teachings paving ruin not only to his dogma but also to the ignorant followers. However, serious pursuers might resolve the Ramana perplexities of their own due to their deepest seriousness.

Mahatma Gandhi preached non-violence only to get killed violently in the end. Buddha taught vegetarianism only to consume decomposed pork in the end and die due to food poisoning. Ramana kept on saying that he had conquered death vicariously and died very elaborately in the end suffering from malignant tumor only to get exposed to what real death experience would be!

Sri Aurobindo’s tomes elucidate immortal life but when he died on 5th December 1950, it was a terrible blow not only to the mortal that he ever was but to his followers who persisted by the side of his corpse waiting for few more days in hope that their master might re-enter his body again and prove the validity of his statements.

It was reported that just at the time of Ramana’s passing away, a comet or shooting star had been seen flying upwards which disappeared beside the summit of the Arunachala Hill. This has been the usual case near hilly regions and I myself had seen one during the midnight at 1.05.09 a.m. on 13th December 1989, when a shooting star appeared descending from above the summit of the Arunachala Hill. These observations were associated sentimentally with end or start of good or bad. The same upward flying shooting star associated with Ramana’s death when observed from the other side of the Arunachala Hill would have appeared like the descending of the shooting star from the summit of Arunachala!

Any theory imperfectly founded on false premises would certainly end up in ignorance and darkness! Be it Aurobindo or Ramana, Mozart or Beethoven, Galois or Ramanujan and Russell or Wittgenstein, their works bear incompleteness even though they seem to be sparkling with dots of brilliance here and there in the sense that they were merely disjointed independent poetical, musical, mathematical and philosophical outpourings respectively and not an amalgamation of all the four called poemusimathesophy.

A soul has to be poetically inspired, musically matured, philosophically refined and mathematically perfected in order to transform itself into Godhood. The mind, the intermediary between the soul and the body has to pronounce in unison with the spiritualistic quest of the soul and the materialistic lust of the body but its ultimate preference should be in the direction of ascending the ladders of liberation along with the soul. If the human mind joins with the cravings of the body only and corrupts itself and descend to the level below that of animals, then it should carve a permanent niche for the body in the doom of materialism.

The indestructible ego might converge into perfect being by constantly abiding in itself. This is the meaning of the following triplet in Tamil:

“அழியா அகமே ஆகுமே
சித்தம் நிலைநிற்று உந்தீபற
பரம் பொருளாகவே உந்தீபற”

SRI PAAVAADAIRAAYAN

SRI PAAVAADAIRAAYAN

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

Sri Paavaadairaayan sametha Sri Ankaala Parameswari

ESCHATOLOGY is that branch of theology which deals with the ultimate or final things, such as death, the destiny of humanity and even of the gods. There are several eschatological doctrines associated with every religion, say, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam and others. Eschatology is also a discipline of Philosophy. Saint Augustine was one of the most famous eschatological thinkers as Hegel. Albert Schweitzer’s “The Quest of the Historical Jesus” was written as an eschatological study about Jesus Christ. “Sri Arunachala Puranam” in its core stands as one of the finest eschatological anthologies. This is the sequel to my earlier paper entitled, “Sri Arunachala Puranam Revisited”.

Upon seeing Sri Brahma descending with the ‘Thaazhampoo’ (தாழம்பூ) in hand as a proof of his conquest of having seen the head of Sri Lingodhbhavamoorthi, the temporary feeling of greatness rekindled by Sri Vishnu’s acceptance of his defeat of not being able to see the feet of Sri Siva caused an excruciating revelation about the Truth to the moderator Siva who had been sought earlier to decide upon the greater among Brahma and Vishnu and thus to put an end to their supernovaic combat, instead of adjudging smartly, Siva thought himself to be the greatest and diverted the combatants Brahma to look for his top, Vishnu to find his base and having said thus extended himself into an ever expanding beam of light as Lingodhbhavamoorthi and now in order to sustain his transient supremacy, plucked the Fifth Head of Sri Pancha Mukha Brahma with his limb-like steward, the Siva Ghanam Kaalabhairava! He was the first prey that the Brahma Kabhaalam consumed resulting the Time that he represented to freeze!

As soon as the Fifth Head of Brahma was removed, the cranium fell on Siva’s hands which he could not discard just because it stuck itself firmly on the hands which looked as if those hands together constituted a seat upon which the skull had accommodated itself in the inverted position. Thus, Siva was subjected to the Brahmahatthi Dhosha for his crude act of beheading Brahma. With that head in palms as a Biksha Paathram, i.e. begging device, he went on begging hither and thither and collected everything that was amass on his way, comparable to that of a dead star after supernova absorbing all in its field in order to regain strength leading to its rebirth!

All things that fell into the skull were consumed by it causing Siva’s increasing hunger that tamed gradually his anger in turn and which if not, might have led to perilous consequences. Siva lost the power of vision and wandered everywhere in the cosmos which appeared like a lifeless necropolis. All his attempts to collect the stellar debris into his bowl to quench his starved bowels resulted in the digestion of them by the Fifth Head of Brahma!

The eternal relationship between Brahma and Saraswathi is that Brahma creates everything, himself being created by Para Brahmi and herself being created by Para Para Brahma in turn, Para Para Brahma being created by Para Para Para Brahmi, … ad infinitum. By this reasoning, Brahma and Saraswathi are siblings. Brahma is Saraswatha and Saraswathi is Brahmi. Again, they create each other that one is the Parent of the other. And also they are the Divine Couple! Brahma and Brahmi together constitute the Primordial Brahmmam. There are various ways of creating species. Brahmmam by fission creates Brahma and Brahmi and the latter by fusion create the Universe that is again the Brahmmam. This is the fundamental phenomenon which inspires ubiquitously the interaction between mind and matter.

Siva is the male form of Saraswathi with the meaning that if Siva is +0, then Saraswathi is –0. Vishnu is the male form of Sakthi with the meaning that if Vishnu is +N (N=Numbers), then Sakthi is –N. Likewise, Brahma is the male form of Lakshmi with the meaning that if Brahma is +∞ (Infinity), then Lakshmi is –∞. In the generalised context when Brahma and Saraswathi are considered, their Absolute Values are taken into account, viz., ∞ to represent Brahma and 0 to represent Saraswathi. Their Mathematical Product, ∞ * 0, generates all the Numbers. Numbers are the building blocks of the Universe, be it the Abstract or the Physical. The mutual engulfing of ∞ and 0 is the Vedic Duty imposed on Brahma and Saraswathi by the Brahmmam and this is the Supreme Philosophy of the Brahma-Anantha-Aanandham which is translated as Perfect-Infinite-Bliss and pronounced together as Brahmaananthaanandham!

Why should the Brahmmam being perfect by itself split and reunite for a countless number of times? By splitting, it expands and by reuniting, the Brahmmam shrinks. These two courses of the Brahmmam are the Breath of it and it exhales innumerable universes and inhales them in turn which can be comprehended as the mutual chasing of Brahma, the Infinity, and Siva, the Zero, in the Cosmic Medium, Vishnu! If there are any disturbances to this steady routine of the Trinity, Vishnu incarnates with his Avathaaraas, Siva manifests as his Amsaas and Brahma advents in his Swaroopaas to straighten the matters! There are Temples dedicated to Sri Vishnu along with his Avathaaraas and similarly for Sri Siva along with his Amsaas but the reason for the absence of any such Temples dedicated to Sri Brahma is that being the God of Creation, Brahma resides along with Brahmi as Brahmmam in the Body Temple of all Living Beings emanating the Truth of the slogan ‘Aham Brahmmaasmi’ which means the Self that is enshrined in the Body is the Brahmmam!

Perfection is achieved by the ceaseless action of refinement. In order to be perfect, anything has to stay refined forever. By the refinement process, dust is accumulated surrounding the perfected densely. The thrust of the increasing dust upon the perfected might result in the shifting of their dominions that the entire dust gets cataclysmically transformed into perfect at the expense of the previously perfected entity and the refinement process recommences its schedule afresh with the transposed imperfect entity and thus extends the eternal reverberations of the Brahmmam!

At the end Siva went to his female form, Goddess Saraswathi who is in all respects the corresponding complement of Brahma, and asked for alms. The difference between Siva and Brahma is that in Infinity which is Brahma, there is Siva and in Zero which is Siva, there is not Brahma which is rephrased symbolically as ∞ + 0 = ∞ & ∞ + 0 ≠ 0. The relationship between Siva and Saraswathi is that they are the male and female forms of Zero respectively. In this way they are regarded as siblings. But in the case of Brahma, Brahmmam took the forms of Brahma and Brahmi with the former being the Perfect Entity and the latter accompanying it as the Void Entity. By shifting their vistas, Brahma and Brahmi can transform interchangeably into anything in order to establish and enliven the Principles of the Brahmmam.

Upon observing her sibling Siva, Goddess Saraswathi poured her Divine Ambrosia into the Brahma Kabhaalam. Siva after having felt the heaviness of the bowl took it near his mouth to suck the contents. The Brahma Kabhaalam absorbed Siva into it and with Siva’s oomph, recreated the ruins that it had digested earlier animating in each entity, minuscules of Siva and like the Big Bang, it ejected simultaneously the entire Universe of life retaining a major portion of Siva within itself to be called as Sri Lingajeeranamoorthi, meaning the God who digested Siva, the Lingam!

Sri Panchamukheeswara Swamy

Saraswathi, who had been witnessing all these held the Four Headed Brahma as a Tetradent called Soolam, within her grips and positioned it appropriately at the time when Siva got sucked into the Kabhaalam and the Universe was ejected along with Time so that the Fifth Head of Brahma could safely land over the cavity at the centre of the other Four Heads thus permanently arresting Siva within the regime of the Pancha Mukha Brahma and in glory of this feet of restoring her Beloved Spouse with his Pivotal Head, Goddess Saraswathi acquired the name Sri Ankaala Parameswari, meaning the Goddess who rules the Limbs!

Soolam means the Seat (Am) of the Seeds (Sool) and Sool is the name of the Fifth Head which had just been seated in its original place Am, at the apex of the Four Headed Brahma! The Fifth Head called the Brahma Garbha is the Celestial Womb that contains the Cosmic Seeds. It is also the giver of Moksha, i.e., Liberation.

‘Mayaanakkollai’ that follows the auspicious day of the Night or Darkness of Siva known as ‘Sivaraathri’ is being celebrated annually in remembrance of the restoration of Brahma’s Fifth Head and relieving Siva of his Brahmahatthi Dhosha by restricting him to the control of Brahma as he ever have been. ‘Mayaanakkollai’ means ‘Loot of the Graveyard’. After the clash of Brahma and Vishnu, the world had turned into a graveyard. Looting a bank means after the loot, the bank’s assets will be lost. Likewise, looting the graveyard means, after the Fifth Head of Brahma looted the lifeless heap, the graveyard’s chattels had vanished implying that its lifeless mass had been rejuvenated!

When Brahma graces a place with Five Heads, it is to grant liberation en masse to every species dwelling there. In one of such visits at the advent of Pralayaa, i.e., Total Destruction, he cleaned the Cosmic Slate which is Sri Vishnu using Sri Siva, the Cosmic Eraser. The Trinity, Brahma, Vishnu and Siva are the vital divinities. Of this trio, Vishnu and Siva are the tools of Brahma to chisel the concepts enumerated in the Vedas. The Vedas are ever expanding and ever contracting only to mean that we take birth to enact our corresponding Vedic themes in the course of expansion and we die in the relay race handing over the spirit of our themes to our successors in the course of contraction. Constancy is the simultaneous expansion and contraction so that the Vedas ever remain intact pulsating with the Truth of the Brahmaananthaanandham!

After the Fifth Head had been reinstalled, Brahma resumed his eternal craft of creation along with the Music of his adored consort Sri Saraswathi. Brahma’s primitive Swaroopaas are with each of his five heads individually, with two, three, four and five heads and also with infinities of other possibilities of multiple heads. Human Body is the temple of Brahmmam and it is based on one of the primeval Swaroopaas of Brahma and Brahmi. There is a one to one correspondence between the Head and Body of the Humans by way of external representation of the parts along with the respective internal similarities. They together appear as two conjoined Heads or Bodies. In short, the Head is the replica of the Body and hence the Universe in microcosm. The Head interacts with the Body as they together as an individual interact with another who is the counterpart thus mimicking the primal course of the Brahmmam!

Sri Paavaadairaayan is the Swaroopaa of Sri Brahma with his Fifth Head alone. He came to cleanse the sin of Siva, to purify him from the Brahmahatthi Dhosha and hence justify the meaning of his name Sri Paavaadairaayan. ‘Paavam’ means sin, ‘Adai’ means to settle, ‘Ra’ means to come and ‘Ayan’ means Brahma. ‘Raayan’ also means Brahma from above clearly pointing to the Crest Head, i.e., the Fifth Head of Brahma.

THE GREATNESS OF BRAHMACHALAM

2007-10-10T14:56:00.001+05:30

THE GREATNESS OF BRAHMACHALAM

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

BY seeing Chidambaram, by being born, in Thiruvarur, by dying in Kashi, or by merely thinking of Arunachala, one will surely attain Liberation.

By visiting Brahmachalam (Pravesa Mukthi) or by merely breathing “Brahmachalam”, Liberation is guaranteed.

Arunachalam (the Hill) is Zero (0) and Brahmachalam (the Hill) is Infinity (∞).

By meditating the essence and truism of Brahmachalam, the Supreme Wisdom of the Brahma Vedam is attained.

The Rama Namam is derived from its source Brahmachalam.

Sri Rama visited Brahmachalam, that is, Srikalahasti.

Sri Kannappa Swamy attained liberation in 6 days with the grace of Sri Kalahastheeswara Swamy who is none other than Lord Sri Brahmachaleswara Swamy.

The equality of the Brahma Lingams, one inside the Sanctum Sanctorum of Lord Sri Kalahastheeswara Swamy and the other inside the Balagnanaprasunambika Devi Shrine at the entrance of the Temple is based on the Tamil word, “கடவுள்” (Kadavul). “Kada” means that which is beyond or invisible; “Vul” means that which is within or visible. In the Moola Sannidhi of Lord Sri Kalahastheeswara Swamy, “Kada” is referred to the Vayu Lingam whose presence is signified by the flickering of the lamps at the right side of the Virat Lingam which is represented by “Vul”. In the case of the Panchamukheeswara Swamy Lingam inside the Balagnanaprasunambika Devi Shrine, “Kada” is worshipped as the Brahma Lingam of Lord Sri Panchamukheeswara Swamy and “Vul” is to the right of it where an erected structure is being preserved similar to that of the Moola Virat Lingam inside the Temple. Hence, “Kadavul” is the description of the Lord inside the Garba Gruham whereas “Vulkada” is the depiction of the Lord inside the Balagnanaprasunambika Devi Shrine at the entrance of the Temple. “Kadavul” is by pronouncing it in this way “→” and “Vulkada” is by pronouncing it in this way “←”.

Breathing Brahmachalam means inhaling and exhaling the syllables of the word. Hence the symbols “←” and “→” considered earlier point to the inhaling and exhaling of Brahmachalam.

Brahma Lingam is the combination of Brahmmam, Eswaram and Narayanam. The Five protrusions found on top of the Moola Virat Lingam of Sri Kalahastheeswara and the Four External Faces along with the One Internal Face of the Pancha Mukha Lingam of Sri Brahmachaleswara glorifies the Five Faces of Sri Virat Viswakarma Para Brahma!

BRAHMMAM AND EGOID

BRAHMMAM AND EGOID

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

To destroy the Mind just because it is unreal, false and citing the ‘Rajju Sarpa Bedham’, i.e. imagining a rope to be a snake, etc are all rotten clichés! Truth and Falsity are complementary. A rope can take life as the snake and therefore cause the same fear to a weak Mind which is corrupted by mere philosophising and confused as a result of it.

Athma Vichara culminates into Athma Samarpana. If the Supreme Gnana could be attainable by Athma Vichara alone, what is the necessity of Athma Samarpana?”

The Id that is the Ego which as a whole is the EGOID is the Spent Energy of Brahma. It cannot be destroyed or produced similar to the Law of Conservation of Energy, viz., “Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; one form of Energy can be changed into another but the total Energy remains constant at all point of time.”

If we want to submit the Ego to God, i.e. to do Athma Samarpana, first we must accumulate the weak minuscules of the Ego into a potent one by the process of refinement and perfection which is done by Athma Vichara, and take the final course of Athma Samarpana successfully.

The axiom of indestructibility of Ego is: “Ego can never be created nor destroyed; it can only be shrinked or expanded.”

The course of the Spent Energy of Brahma is to rejuvenate and recharge itself to be able to refine and perfect by the process of life, work and time until it is transformed into the Absolute Brahma Shakthi.

Brahma’s perspiration is the Ego and Ego’s perspiration is the Brahma. They are connected by this eternal equation. Why is it that Brahma exerts by spending his energy? We all work to tend to equilibrium, to maintain harmony, and likewise, Brahma uses the inconsistent energies that accumulate within his enterprise, by spending it to build the cosmos, by expansion and contraction simultaneously causing reverberations resulting in a state of taut. The Infinitesimal Ego interacts with the Infinite Brahma by the triad, living life, doing work and passing time, and this phenomena animates everywhere in the Universe for good!

Athma Vichara is completed when the Vichari learns that the Ego cannot be destroyed and as a result of that wisdom, the Vichari tames the Ego to finally transform into the Absolute Brahmmam and this is done by Athma Samarpanam. Athma Vichara matures into Athma Samarpanam! Ego is the relentless master and true guru who is notoriously misunderstood like Brahma but by its tasks for refinements and perfections, it is destined to succeed in reaping the benefits of its transformation into the Absolute Brahmmam!

Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi concludes in Upadesa Undhiyar:

“பந்தவீடற்ற பரசுக முற்றவாறு
இந்தநிலை நிற்றல் உந்தீபற
இறைபணி நிற்றலாம் உந்தீபற”.

The taut state of Brahma is “பந்தவீடற்ற பரசுகம்” and “இறைபணி நிற்றல்” is the divine work imposed on Ego to transform into the ultimate Brahmmam!

Hence we summarise with the following new triplet:

“அழியா அகமே ஆகுமே
சித்தம் நிலை நிற்றுந்தீபற
பரம்பொரு ளாகவே யுந்தீபற”.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ALIASES AND THE ORIGINAL NAME

2007-08-10T12:38:00.006+05:30

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ALIASES AND THE ORIGINAL NAME

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

THERE is a lot of difference in Names. One may have several assumed names but there ought to be an original name to a person or a deity which may be birth name if the person tends to be a human being in particular and the living things in general; Gods have their original unique names which are ubiquitous and eternal and also they are subjected to have a multitude of Aliases [Names that are Assumed, Pseudonym, Also Known As (a. k. a.), etc.]

Sri Kalahastheeswara Swamy is the assumed name of Lord Sri Brahmachaleswara Swamy. Before he offered himself to be otherwise called as Sri Kalahastheeswara as a result of the Bhakti and sacrifice of the trio, viz., Sri the Spider, Kalam the Serpent and Hasti the Elephant, there should have been an original name for the Supreme God and that name, if eternal can be arrived at even now by observing the features of our Lord.

We see inside the sanctum sanctorum (Garba Gruham) the Brahmalingam of Lord Brahmachaleswara alias Sri Kalahastheeswara. What is unique about Him here is that the Vayu Lingam encompasses the Sthula Lingam! The base upon which the Sthula Lingam stands erect to the utmost, the Peetam, is regarded as the Chalam! Thus, He reveals His True Name in His appearance itself! That is, the invisible Vayu Lingam is the Brahmmam; the Base is the Chalam; and the Sthula Lingam is the Eswaram. Therefore, He is Sri Brahmachaleswara, the combination of Brahma (as Vayu Lingam), Vishnu (as Chalam) and Shiva (as Sthula Lingam). Hence He is the Para Brahma Swarupam!

Likewise, Sri Gnanaprasunambika Devi is the combination of Sri Saraswathi (as Gnanam), Sri Lakshmi (as Prasuna) and Sri Sakthi (as Ambika). Hence She is Para Brahmi Swarupam!

There is a likelitude between Sri the Spider with Brahma for they both create structures from out of them and can shrink back their stuff into them after the business is over! Kala the Serpent (also called time or maya) is in similitude with Vishnu!! And finally resemblance is there between Hasthi the Elephant (also called Asthi, i.e. Ashes) with Shiva!!! Consequently, this has been the reason why the Lord agreed to accept the name Sri Kala Hasti as his alias.

There is a temple at Pittsburg, in the United States of America dedicated to Lord Venkateswara built in inspiration of our Thirumala Thirupathi Balaji temple of Lord Venkateswara! Let us consider the following tale: A westerner or Indian settled in the West who had frequented the Shrine of Balaji at Pittsburg happened to come to India and visited the Thirumala Balaji temple. After he had darshan of Lord Venkateswara, he boasted: “There is a temple like this in Pittsburg which I have been visiting for long. Therefore, Thirumala is the Pittsburg of the East.” How absurd will such a statement be!

Geological studies reveal that Himalaya was a sea before it was formed. India was a part of the continent of Lemuria (which constituted part of Africa in itself amongst others) and the rocks of Arunachalam (Tiruvannamalai) were as old to be of the times of the Age of Lemuria. Also the Srikalahasti Hill dates back to such an age even before the formation of the Himalayas! When the bit that comprised India broke away from the African tip to move towards the Asian plateau and finally collided with it as a result of the continental shift, the sea froze and resulted in the formation of one of the youngest mountains of the world, The Great Himalayas! We know that Kailasam is one of the peaks of the Himalayas. Is it not ridiculous to keep on saying, like the above mentioned westerner or western Indian’s illogical and confused remarks of calling Thirumala temple as India’s Pittsburg, that Srikalahasti is the Dakshina Kailasam? It can also be called as so keeping in self that it is one of the aliases of Brahmachalam like Srikalahasti.

ARUNACHALAM, BRAHMACHALAM AND VENKATACHALAM

2007-08-09T14:49:00.001+05:30

ARUNACHALAM, BRAHMACHALAM AND VENKATACHALAM

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

HINDUISM is beyond the limitations of being a religion alone. It is the divine science of the Vedas disseminated by the Chief of the Trinity Gods, Sri Brahma that Hinduism bases itself firmly. There ought to have been Five Vedas, namely, Rig, Yajur, Sama, Atharvana and (Parama or Panchama or Pranava or Para or) Brahma Veda but it was reduced to four in number and the fifth Veda has been left discarded to the extent of being dethroned. Actually the fifth Veda is the life cord that makes the rest glow with perfection! All the inconsistencies that crept into the Hindu doctrines were due to the imperfections caused as a result of abandoning the fifth Veda.

The Brahma Veda or the Fifth Veda is the supreme of all sciences and beyond. It cannot be destroyed, obliterated or left uncared. It is like boasting that space is removed in vacuum as air in a jar of water. The world reverberates with life and the universe stays engrossed with infinitude and everywhere is found the interplay of void and matter. Void consumes matter and in turn was consumed by the Supervoid. Nothing transforming into something and the vice versa is the course of the Brahmmam.

When the hardest crude rock is unearthed and refined, diamond is obtained. If the diamond is polished and perfected further, it shines. Hence divinity is a two-fold process. The first is the process of refinement and the second is the process of perfection. The latter contains in it the former in its finality and vistas but it is for convenience of segregation that these are adopted likewise into two-foldedness.

In creation itself is there the aspects of preservation as well as destruction. So are these the Creator’s tools in his polyfolded bliss of being in the state of Brahmmam. Arunachalam is the Heart of the World; Brahmachalam is the Brain of the World; and Venkatachalam is the Body of the World. As we know, Arunachalam is now called Tiruvannamalai; Brahmachalam is now called Srikalahasti Hill; and Venkatachalam is now called Thirumala of Thirupathi. These three sacred places are the abodes of the Hindu Trinities, viz., Kailasa Shiva, Sathyaloka Brahma and Vaikunta Vishnu respectively the god of destruction, the god of creation and the god of preservation. Clearly, Kailasam, Sathyalokam and Vaikuntam are eternal abodes and whose miniatures are only the Arunachala Kailasam, Brahmachala Sathyalokam and Venkatachala Vaikuntam. These are the Bhuloka Kailasam, Bhuloka Sathyalokam and Bhuloka Vaikuntam.

Shiva manifests as his Amsas; Brahma manifests as his Swarupa; and Vishnu manifests as his Avataras. When the Himalaya Kailasa is regarded as the earthly residence of Lord Shiva, Arunachalam is his primitive Amsam in body and soul. Similarly, Brahmachalam is Lord Brahma Swarupam in Turiya [1. wake (jakra), 2. sleep (nidra), 3. dream (swapna), 4. deep sleep (sushupti), and 5. transcendental (turiya)]. Likewise, Venkatachalam is Lord Vishnu himself enshrining his Varaha & Govinda Avataras. Why these sacred mountains are called the manifestations of the gods? The man made temples are subjected to alteration, destruction, disfiguration, counterfeit, encroachment, etc., due to the curiosities of man in addition to the natural calamities! Even several mountains are being trashed day to day for building houses, constructing roads, etc. These holy mountains stand erect for ages only because they are the miniature Gods! They continue to inspire their seekers with their grace, wisdom and blessings for ever!

THE BAMBOO FLUTE

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

BACH'S Organ is the King
Of all Musical Instruments

Lord Krishna's Flute is the God
Embodying Supremacy in Simplicity

Organ building needs a lot
Both in Craftsmanship and in Space

Whereas the Bamboo Flute can be made
By simple means and comes in handy

It is the most natural of any Instruments
So far Invented next only to the Voice

For Voice and the playing of the Flute
Require the Breath-Wind to produce the Music

The uniqueness of the Bamboo Flute
Is its ability to fluctuate & sustain in any note termed as "Gamaka"

The Key Flute is artificial in every aspect
And lacks the performance of "Gamaka"

The Bamboo Flute is not only an Instrument
It teaches us by practice & nurtures thus our self-study

The Key Flute transports us to its Magic World
But the Bamboo Flute transforms our Souls into the Mystic & the Divine

INNER TRUTH

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

Immortality of the mindless Self

Is the ultimate Truth of certainty

Mind composed of the mortal thoughts of lust

Makes our Life miserable until rest

Self with the Zero mind is eternal

External is the tedious focus

Of the diverging ego's confusion

Inner reigns the Truth invulnerable

Introspection is the music to tame

And converge the thought bundle that is the mind

Perfection is the bliss of divine joy

Attained by the Self's conquest of the id

Thus enlightened Self will glow forever

As the God Supreme Transcendentally

THE MORTAL THOUGHTS

BY

Thoughts are generated in the self

As a kind of polishing the mind

All the residues thus accumulated

Are gathered in various forms

That form can be another self

It can also be written script

There is an equality between dead thoughts and dead people

Dead thoughts are packed in book-coffins

They are buried in library-cemeteries

And they are subjected to innumerable autopsies by the doctors of letters

They decay as royal food for the book worms

As we are to the scavengers, et al

The world is a product of thoughts

And they die always to bestow us eternity

In order to practise self-enquiry

There need to be the fear of death

If there is no such fear or its alike

The need for self-enquiry fades

So these self investigating therapies

Are bound to release or relapse depression

There is an equal distance to travel

Between thoughts to I and I to void

That is from infinity to zero

And from zero to the zeroid

It is enough if one speck attains the climax

To pull the rest effecting liberation en masse

Until atleast the dipping of an I in the void i.e. zeroid

MUSICOID

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

ALL sounds never make Music. Likewise, all Music never leads us to Moksha. There is a theory, which holds that the sole purpose of Music is to prepare people for copulation. But there is also another theory that enlightens the ardent pursuer of Divinity that just before the advent of Moksha, Music cleanses and prepares the fortunate Soul, which after long toil and turmoil is travelling in the right path, to Moksha. After the Liberation of the Soul, that is, after the transformation into Divinity, as a result of attaining Moksha, there chants as lullaby in the Inner Ear of the Jeevanmuktha, i.e. the Liberated-Living, the steady, effortless, ceaseless, … , eternal Divine Music of Perfect Bliss.

Divine Music is the consequence of constant contact in communion with the Musical God, i.e., the Nadha Brahmmam. There is no language barrier or the so-called linguistic impotency in the Music of the Divine. It is the Music conceived for the Supreme Instrument ever created that is the Body enshrining the Divine Soul in order to process and soothe the ignorant Mind and relieves the Self from the clutches of the animality of Ego.

Definitely, there is an infinite difference between Lust Music and Divine Music. As we differentiate Music with noise likewise so is Divine Music associated with Lust Music. Divine Music is complete and perfect and the prime defect of Lust Music is its incompleteness and imperfection. Until we attain Moksha, we are imposed to practise by approximating and imitating Divine Music in terms of Lust Music.

Divine Music is generalised whereas Lust Music is particularised. There is no end to growth by division in Lust Music. There are innumerable purposes and motives for Lust Music. But the uniquely singular aim of Divine Music is to worship and thus cherish God. Divine Music is never restricted by the limitations of Time for it stills Time and freezes the Mind from its habitual aimless wanderings. There are no gradations akin to relativity in Divine Music that one of it is greater or poorer than the other just because it is Absolute and it is the Liberated Soul’s expression of God. Divine Music is the Boon bestowed upon those who are fed up with the viciousness of Lust Music. Vexation is the curse of Lust Music.

Brahmanandham is the true nature of Divine Music. Life becomes meaningful with joy at the advent of Divine Music. Lust Music makes Life tedious and absurd. Divine Music is continuous with God as its only theme. Lust Music is discontinuous baited with addictive traps at its crux and with ignorance & darkness as its chief themes. Anything, if seriously pursued with incessant dedication, will purify our vices if there are any and transform us into Divinity. Pursuing Lust continuously means pursuing discontinuity continuously, which is a contradiction. But according to the seriousness of practising contradiction, Divine Intervention will set these pursuits of us to the right mode. This is the Miraculous Process of Divinity. Passion for the transient leads to Lust. Passion for the transcendent leads to the Divine.

Divine Music is the consummation of Spiritualism. Lust Music is the depression of Materialism. When the Mind is wiped to Zero, the Soul reclaims its Divinity and flourishes by nourishing the Nadhamrutham, that is, by cherishing the Divine Musical Elixir. MUSICOID is the Musical Self of the Jeevanmuktha who has extinguished the EGOID and successfully reduced his ID to ZERO, that is, the ZEROID.

DIVINE MUSIC

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

IT may Sound Divine by its own Nature that is Tiruvachakam but there is no point in setting the Magnum Opus of Sri Manickavachakar to Symphonic(or Oratorio,etc.) Orchestrations. St. Matthew Passion and St. John Passion of Johann Sebastian Bach should not be a Source of corresponding Translation and Transformation as well as Adaptation in terms of Manickavachakam, i.e. Tiruvachakam. Tiruvachakam has its own Metre and Tune as its Composer Ordained it. Any attempt to contaminate this Saint Dictated Sri Natarajar Scribed Work for business purposes shall face the consequences of Ignorance and Darkness. It is better to write by self and indulge in such matters of experimental trials and avoid exploiting the Divine Compositions such as Tiruvachakam, Tevaram, Sri Arunachala Aksharamanamalai of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi, etc.

If Sri Ilaiyaraja want to Resurrect and Re-establish his Past Glory, it is better to not pose any damage to that Past Glory of his. Otherwise he may expose the Evaporated Person who Actually did the Phenomenal Music and the Other Person who corrupted it for the Lust for Money, etc. These two Alter Personae of total difference could not have gone together for almost a couple of decades and inhabited in Ilaiyaraja's self so Amicably! It is best to Oust the Evaporated Person's Baleful Friend who still reigns Raja's self to ruin or at least shows traces of his existence in order to create further devastation, and spend the rest of life in Rewinding and Reliving the Encounters with the Advent and Lapse of the Evaporated Person, Praying for His Return!

If there was not anything like Sri Ilaiyaraja's Lost Past Glory, he might still be in Vogue and continue with the Phenomena that he once had been! While he was at his Supreme, what he did was, according to his own self-commentaries, viz., his Music was like Slow Poison, that it would often make the listener addicted to it. That is why there have been many Ilaiyaraja Maniacs to this day. But these Maniacs are decreasing, quite relieved of their Mania, thanks to the Person who was Evaporated from Ilaiyaraja's Misused Mental Domain and thus deserted him now! In the title song of the film, 'Karagattakkaran', he was even tempted to boast of & reveal his Real Self, that he sold his Music for the Lust for Money, etc( listen again to the Song "Pattale Buddhi Sonnar...").

Dear Sri Ilaiyaraja,

Please be contented with your Revolutionary Past Glory which will never be matched by anyone else or even by yourself now for Generations to Come! It was for good that you exhausted yourself and created an Edifice for yourself by Overworking. Now is the time to Rest and Relax in Leisure. Be Like the Beacon of Arunachala to the Young Musical Aspirants who tries to follow your footsteps and kindly consent to their queries and be accessible to them unlike in the past due to your busy schedule. Due to Ageing you may tend to be slow but treat it as an opportunity for Incubation and continue to be in Energetic & Cheerful Spirits. In the past you had exerted to eradicate your poverty and earned fame and money. Why don't you allot your present rest of life in the service of Music for Moksha?

Tiruvachakam in Symphonic Oratorio should be the First Step in the direction of your transition from Lust Music to the Divine Music. Like J.S. Bach (who is your Most Favourite Western Musical Genius & also for Everyone who understands His Refined, Clever, Swift, Subtle, Absolute, Aesthetic, Eternal,..., Art and, Predecessor to Mozart and Beethoven both by His life and by the Mathematical Perfection of His Music), I wish you Success in your present shift of work and expect on the behalf of all, a Lot of Excellent, Non-Slow Poisonous, Quick Elixirous, Poetic Music to follow.

Like J.S. Bach's death bed Composition, the Enigmatic "Art of Fugue", incompletely concluded with the notes,“ BACH", as the Master Breathed for His Last in this Mortal World to Infinitely Breath for His Forever Flourishing in the Immortal Heavenly Abode, I once again wish you to do Penance in order to attempt & write such Fugues in addition to your Ever Lasting Contributions to Music in the Future.

Thank you and others, very much for the kindest perusal of these Remarks Aimed at Reiterating the Flight of the Musical Soul within ourselves from the Viciousness of Lust, etc, into the "NADHA BRAMHAM" and finally Merge & Abide as THE INFINITE+ZERO in Communion, Peacefully & Blissfully in "SRI BRAHMACHALAM", the Final Abode of the Greatest of the Supreme Gods!

Yours well wishingly,

MADTHEMADTICKS
[MAD-THE-MAD-TICKS]

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

GREATEST Unsolved problems of Mathematics when solved after years of incessant labour are never useful as far as our practical life is concerned. Fermat’s Last Theorem was considered the ever deceiving seducer and remained so until the 1990s when Prof. Andrew Wiles proved it to be true that there exist no integers (Positive) satisfying the equation X to the power n + Y to the power n = Z to the power n (n > 2). Prof. Andrew Wiles’ conquest was not hailed or celebrated as anticipated due to the Theorem’s practical irrelevance. Even The Mathematics Nobel Prize equivalent called The Fields Medal was denied to Prof. Andrew Wiles! This is what the Mathematicians do for themselves indeed! In other words, this is how the curse of Mathematics punishes its savants with! Another unworthy unsolved problem of Mathematics is The Riemann Hypothesis. When there was no other source to entertain our ancestors unlike at present, they indulged in severe Confusion theories concerning Numbers. Till today, there is no clear saneful explanation as to what a Number is! But we see several concepts flourish to decay and perish in Mathematics all the time. Mathematics is never a subject to devote our worthy lives. It never deserves our energies as a Mode of Worshipment. Ramanujan was severely afflicted with the Madness called Mathematicosis, which took his life like that of Galois. Mathematical activity is not at all a life justifying pursuit. It becomes baleful and meaningless in its advanced stages. It advocates Confusion and Madness when we go deep into its Foundations. We cannot be proud of its advancement always as it is ‘Mad’vanced as soon as it becomes Advanced.

After reducing all Mathematics to Logic in their joint venture, ‘Principia Mathematica’, Whitehead and Russell thought that their work would be flawless and would ever remain as an Edifice in Eternity. But when Gödel detected Loopholes in ‘Principia Mathematica’ and published his Inconsistency Results, Whitehead and Russell’s dream was shattered! Whitehead put an end to his Mathematical career and switched over to Philosophy later without realising that he escaped the Hunter’s Arrow only to succumb to the Butcher’s Knife. Russell corrupted everything he touched thereafter and spent his rest of life in Madness as his Biographer Roy Monk appropriately titled the Second Volume of Russell’s Biography as ‘The Ghost of Madness’ concluding his verdict on Russell’s illness as ‘A deep seated fear of Madness and a quite colossal vanity!’ After Gödel slaughtered ‘Principia Mathematica’ and thus Whitehead and Russell, he tried to find solace in his ‘Unadulterated Platonic Realism’ as per Russell’s curse which is nothing but ‘Mathematical Realism’ and spent his time as a Hypochondriac, killing himself by self-starvation in the end. These were what Mathematics had done to its Explorers! The world is not moved by the Forces as interpreted by Mathematics or by the Divine Will as Philosophy Prophesies or as per God’s Intension mentioned in Religious Dogmas, etc. Numbers are to Mathematics as Truth is to Philosophy and God is to Religion, the root of all self-decaying Phenomena as long as these entities survive in Confusion and suck our energies as the Parasite ‘TICK’ sucks Dog’s Blood. Life is Everything and Nothing juxtaposed and our mission is to mix and merge these two extremes within and out of us. All the other things must end in bringing together Confusion and Madness.

The useful part of Mathematics is learning to tackle with the Mundane Elements and the dangerous part of it is preoccupying the Mind with Viciousness resulting in Unwanted Curious Abstract Tough Stuff. Mathematics traps the ardent admirer of it by promising Eternity and later Preys on the Mathematician’s Brain and Consumes it’s Victim’s Life. It took the life of Archimedes who was so absorbed in his Mathematical Rubbish asking to wait until he finished with the Mathematical Mess to which the Soldier, who was sent by his King to Summon Archimedes (with the intension of honouring the All Time Genius), misunderstood that Archimedes disobeyed the King’s Decree by doing something else instead of coming with him, got enraged and slain the poor man. Pascal was tormented by Mathematico-Philosophical-Religiosis. All his life, Pascal practiced self-torture trying to overcome his Confusions. Descartes advocated several theories in Mathematics and Philosophy in order to please others, especially, the Royal Women Folk, one of whom Adam-teased him by pretending to be interested in Descartes’ Cartesianism, ordered to rise earliest in the mornings to teach her which killed him due to sleeplessness caused by changing the routine habit of getting late from bed suddenly. These three men were Mad about Mathematics to the extent of becoming its Sacrifice.

We can argue in defence of Mathematics by mentioning that Mathematics is Fundamental to the Sciences, etc. This is certainly so as long as Science remains less Mathematical. If it allows Mathematics to dominate like in Theoretical Physics, say, The Theory of Relativity, Astrophysics, etc., the fruits of these Mathematical dominations are simply useless as far as our limited lives are concerned. All its useful portions, we utilise, but the rest in Mathematics, we must discard. There is no use in calculating how many Prime Numbers are there under Infinity, etc., and like Landau who Confused by writing Bulky Volumes on Prime Numbers, etc., Mathematicosis prompts these people to invent peculiar ways of justifying and cheating everybody inclusive of themselves in order to hail their time Wastedness in the form of Authoring such Useless Treatises. These books are doomed to be forgotten and disappear uncared! At present it is crystal clear that Mathematics is Rotten, Saturated, Repetitive, Corruptive, Nothing Special About and lost it’s Past Glory, which was Misattributed and Mispresupposed!

We admire Beauty of various kinds not because they are pleasing but just because they fill our Mind’s Vacuum so that the sole business of our life as to transform and transfuse Nothing with Everything is carried on. Numerising is acting against our Life’s Purpose and is the root of the Miserable Madness Prevailing in Mathematics. Instead of filling the Mind’s Void, Mathematics overburdens it with Bundles of Confusions. As a result, the Mind’s Emptiness becomes enlarged and at the stage when Life’s Purpose is unattended to for so long a time, Madness of Mathematics establishes itself Ruthlessly as a Parasite and Consumes all our Potencies. Mathematics, the Mental Parasite must be wiped out from spreading like the Materialistic Soul-less Epidemic of our own Self-imposition by the way of it’s making us Madly Addicted to it. Now is the time to take our Life-Course afresh, giving importance to Life’s Actual Purposes leading us to Liberation. Mathematics, Philosophy and Religion are unworthy of our most valuable Time to be spent in Doing, Studying and Following them respectively if these Disciplines Diverge into Darkness. These Subjects so far remained same in their Central Core of Confusion by always Focussing upon the Externalities of the World without Minding the Root of Everything which is nothing but THE ZERO. Let us Revive & Reinvent these Subjects and live our Life without yielding to Confusion, Madness and Uselessness. That must be the Greatest Renaissance Ever Effected in the History of Mankind for the benefit of the Liberation En Masse and this Intellectual Revolution is the Ultimate Need of our Present Time. The Quartet of Mathematics, Philosophy, Music and Poetry can constitute the way for the Refinement and Perfection of our Mouldable Minds. The Members of this Quartet Blend will influence and control each other in Mutual Harmony & Proportion and their collective effort will evolve toward Human Betterment. If a Member of this group tries to go on its own accord and proceed out of the Quartet Bond, then it would again suffer the Fate of its Erstwhile Anti Life-Relevant & Contradictory Activities Manifesting into Chaos. The Foursome in the Quartet must Monitor and Guard their Unified Course by exposing the Black Sheep which adopts the Path of Monologue in Isolation creating discord and bring back the Prodigal Miscreant under their Regime. This must be the Real Service to Mankind for preventing itself from the Blunder of Yielding to the Satanic Wobblings Again and Again causing Imbalance, Hatred and Pain in the Amicable World of Equilibrium, Compassion and Pleasure.

‘POEMUSIMATHESOPHY’ is the New Name derived from the Golden Quartet’s Members, viz., ‘Poe’try, ‘Musi’c, ‘Mathe’matics and Philo‘sophy’ i.e. 3 letters from Poetry and 4 letters from Music to represent the Musical Heptatonic System of the 7 Notes and 5 letters each from Mathematics and Philosophy to represent the Mathematical Decimal System of the 10 Numbers or the Digits. A Soul (=Spirit) has to be Poetically Inspired, Musically Matured, Philosophically Refined & Mathematically Perfected in order to Transform itself into Godhood. The Mind, the intermediary between the Soul & the Body has to Pronounce in Unison with the Spiritualistic Quest of the Soul and the Materialistic Lust of the Body but its Ultimate Preference should be in the direction of Ascending the Ladders of Liberation along with the Soul. If the Human Mind joins with the Cravings of the Body only & Corrupts itself and descend to the level below that of Animals, then it should Carve a Permanent Niche for the Body in the Doom of Materialism. Let us Celebrate the Birth of ‘POEMUSIMATHESOPHY’ Cheerfully and Flourish, Foster, Nourish & Cherish it for the sake of the Triple Pursuits of SOUL-SEARCHING, SOUL-REALISING AND SOUL-LIBERATING PENANCE in order to Achieve our Life’s Actual Purpose of Attaining Divinity by EVER ABSORBING AND EVER ABIDING IN THE EVER ECSTATIC ETERNAL BLISS OF THE BRAHMANANDHAM.

PHILOSOPHICIDE

PHILOSOPHICIDE

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

THE sole business of Philosophy is to corrupt Truth in the disguised bait in the form of assuring curious promises to bestow happiness, the way to it and wipe out fear and suffering. Philosophical problems are never solved unanimously as Philosophers are always in disagreement. The very universal definition that Philosophy lacks for itself warrants us that we are at our own risk whether to pursue it or not.

All Philosophies are as a result termed as failures. This is evident from the perpetual diversification that Philosophy imposes upon itself. How can discordance i.e. Philosophy boast of Harmony? It never cleanses the accumulated faults in its course, instead, presents these as burden veiling Truth. Philosophy is the cancer inflicted upon those who do not understand just because it flourishes on our innocence and nourishes our sanity. In short, Philosophy is the parasite of our Minds to consume it to utter confusion. When we mis-pursue Philosophy, it will die of starvation. At the Philosophical debris, care should be taken to never return to its deadly grips by casting it aside. If Philosophy breeds or is bred by---confusion, Mathematics, in its own peculiar way justifies its fostering confusion. Nature has no sense of either Philosophy or Mathematics but these two subjects misrepresent it as if they have conquered it.

Whether we read Philosophy or do Mathematics, it will have no effect as far as Nature is concerned. One theory disproves another and will in turn gets itself disqualified by some other later and this process extends indefinitely so long as we are there to bother about Philosophy. If there is no Philosophy, there will be no intervention in the affairs of Nature. So far as Philosophical resistance is there, Nature waits for the kill of Philosophy termed as “PHILOSOPHICIDE” and proceeds further emanating with truth.

All we must do is to set our Minds free to be in the state of “ZEROID”. There is no thinking in this state and hence this is our natural state. Thinking means stirring the Philosophising urge. Sticking to this urge will adopt the Mortal Path. Dying innumerable times is to exhaust Philosophy by thinking. Metaphysical Emptiness indicates the Advent of the End of Philosophy. As Philosophy is diminished to its core thus, Life attains the Fulfilment Lasting Forever.

THE SEXUALITY OF GOD

THE SEXUALITY OF GOD

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

SEXUAL feeling is the only force that can surpass through the Ages and pervade all Life Forms. We die in order to Flourish the Sexual Entity granted by God to us. The Sexual Force is the most Powerful of God's Creations. We are the Messengers of that Vital Force. We inherit it from our Ancestors and transmit it to Posterity. The Fulfilment of the Sexual Urge leads to Enlightenment. Partial Fulfilment needs to be catered so as to evade imperfection. The tolerance of the Sexual Feeling or Urge without any forceful activity or controlling is the Maturity Ultimatum termed as the Sexuality of God.

The Sum-Total of all our Passions is rooted in Sex. It is this Sex (=Sexuality) that is Fundamental to all our Lively Existence and our Civilization is Safely Rested upon it. Bodily Impotence does not rule out Mental Potency. In other words, it is a Pity that Primitive Sexual Feeling nurtures upon associating it to Bodies, that too of Others in General. God is Neutral in the sense that we attribute the He-ness, She-ness or It-ness flexibly so as to conceive God according to our tastes.

The pursuit of Sexual Instinct is Terminated in God. Actually it is not curbed in God but its Variable Behaviour is changed into Constancy once it derives or attains God. Sexual Feeling is the Universal Language of all Species. Reproductive Methods may be termed Sexual or Asexual but the Reproductive Origin is the same i.e. Sexual. The purpose of Copulation is to Promote the Species Steadily. Otherwise, it serves as a Beacon that Guides us Quenching in Pleasure and prepares us in the Sexual Pavements to God. Mere Love without the admixture of Sexuality is Refinement.

Love and Sexuality are construed to mean each other and they differ according to the Context appropriately. It should not be taken for granted that Glorified Sex is Love and Sinful Love is Sex also. Seasons are meant only for the Body and not for the Sexuality that inhabit the Body. Similarly, a Male may develop a natural interest in a Female and vice versa but the Sexual Impulse remains the same. Radical Sexuality accounts for Confusion and appears contra to the Course of Nature. But things that are counter to Nature have their own justification. It only reveals that we cannot comprehend the Nature of Sexuality as a Whole.

Sexuality is independent of the Sexual Act. Sexuality comprises a lot of qualities that are not also akin to the Sexual Act. Sexuality is the Aesthetic Sense. It is the never satiating Drive until the Fulfilment is achieved. It includes not only Pleasure but also Pain in its Manifold. But the Sexual Act enjoys a Rise and Fall in the Emotional Levels of the Performer. There is Foreplay, i.e. the Preparation, the Orgasm, followed by Withdrawal, which constitute the Sexual Act. We tend to repeat the Sexual Act Mentally or Practically several times in order to attain Sexual Liberation which transforms ourselves, our entire Sexual Longings into that of God's Sexuality.

In God's Sexuality, there is no Sexual Act. It is the Sexuality deprived of Limitedness. Infinite Sexuality is called the Sexuality of God. All our Sexual struggles are accounted for in God's Sexuality. Infinite Sexuality is the Collection of or Infinite Collection of Finite Sexualities. Sexuality never perishes whereas the Sexual Activities do so. All Fine Arts, Philosophies, etc., are inspired by Sexuality. We, Human Beings Cherish the Sexual Feeling and try always to impose the impracticable Sexual Ethics, which we keep on updating. As a result we encounter various Communities that are in discord with one another. Sexual Immaturity or Confusion gives way to diversified opinions, which corrupt our society as a whole.

Celibacy never discourages Gazing. Gays practise Sodomy. Masturbation is an institution in itself. Of all these, Coition is the most Revered and Established Custom ensuring Offspring. Nature designed the Male and Female Bodies in favour of Coition. The rest of all others are Man-Made Exploitations altering the Natural Sexual Behaviour. The Pattern of Sexuality is adopted and widespread in all our deeds. Our Story telling method follows the Sexual Process of Triple Foldedness. First, there will be the Beginning, Next, the Setting or the Proposal of Problems and Finally, the Solution or the Climax. Materialistic Advancements can tremendously modify the Outer World without Solving the Sexual Puzzle. Staunch Advocators of Materialism corrupt the Sexual Set up of the World with their Unrestricted, Ruthless, and Lustful Sexual Immoralities and pose constant threat to Humanity.

The Age of Materialism when compared to that of Sexualism is severely lower. Sexualism Protected the Human Race to this extent and Promotes us to Reach God in the Multifarious ways of our own. Wickedness in Sexuality is the Guarding Angel of Human Sexual Conduct. In contrast, Free Love or Free Sex is the Curse of Materialism to Humanity. Free Love has gone to the level of Trans / Animal Sexual Passions and this would Spoil the Natural Balance and throw us into Chaos.

Marriage Creates Heaven on Earth. It is the Concrete Structure that Prepares the Human Society from Barbarism to Goddism. It offers a Family to the Couple who are Wedded and Encapsulates in it all the Programs necessary to make Life attain its Cosmic Goal. It has in it all the Syllabi Prescribed so that we can lead a Better Life Possible. Marriage is benefited to the utmost when it remains Monogamous. In order to Experiment and Explore Sexuality, no other Method is as Durable and Trustful as Marriage. Marriage is the Preliminary to the Complex Sexuality.

Polygamy and Prostitution corrupts both our Bodies as well as our Society in which we Dwell-in. What if a Marriage Fails? Marriage Mimics the Union of Body and Mind, the House and the Occupant. It is Man made, Time tested and God Blessed that is Marriage, Equivalent to the Birth of a Being into the World. Sexual Maniacs, who are Sick and Unfocussing, find Marriage, its Actual Purpose as unworthy. Marriage Provides the Protection to our Sexual Energies.

Sexual Riddle is the Ultimate testing of God, Particularly to the Humans to be Conquered Honestly. This Conquest Confers Completeness to our Longings and Hardships and Blesses us with Godhood. All Thoughts are generated by the Sexual Emptiness in our Minds and Culminated by the Sexual Realisation of our Minds. So, the Rest of the Non-Sexual Methods target training the Beastly Mind by Meditation and other Means so that it is Tamed well waiting for the Acid Test of the All Powerful Sexuality of God.

Hence Sexual Escape is impossible for the Ardent Person in Pursuit of God. If a Person has no Sexual Passion, then He or She or It shall Acquire it, for without Acquiring it, there is no Provision for Solving It and without the Sexual Element Properly Attended to, there is no Point in Living. Life is a Matter of Sexual Process and Sexual Process is a Matter of Becoming God. And God's Sexuality is to Stay Fused in the Essence of the Sexual Truth of EVER ETERNAL BLISS.

MATHEMATICOSIS

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

PURSUIT of Mathematics is that which reveals how civilised we humans are. With our various diversities, Mathematics is the common thread that unites us. The pleasure that we obtain as a result of Mathematical Study is comparable to that of orgasm sustained without erection. Thus, Mathematics, its cultivation is sublime and eternal. It is divine and aesthetic. It permeates as common pulsation of us throughout the Universe. It is the Study of Generalisation. Otherwise, without the Spirit of Generalisation, Mathematics turns into Confusion. It aims at Perfection to the extent of the highest exaction and precision. It is the Science of Exactitude. It is the Basic Study of all kinds of Cryptology.

All human intellectual pursuits are based upon Mathematics. It is our common language to study Nature and realise God. The problem arises when Mathematics is infested with rigmarole. Lot of things that creep into Mathematics from within or from out of it due to mere fake identification of the Non-Mathematical rubbishes burdens the primary business of what Mathematical discipline is! It is the Guiding Spirit that has to be there always in order to check the Non-Mathematical stuff and eject it away. Mathematics glorifies human life, that is to say, it gives us satisfaction and confides in us with lot of hope and puts our brains under check! If we do Mathematics as well as Non-Mathematics simultaneously i.e. Sense and Non-sense at the same time, then I would call this Phenomenon as MATHEMATICOSIS.

Mathematics is not only the art of Problem-Solving. It is really the art of Liberation. It is wrong to judge people by wasting our energies in checking whether they solved this or that age-old problem posed as a challenge now or before. We can become Mathematicians not only if we do Mathematics but we really exert ourselves to think it or in terms of it. God is always the Supreme Mathematician and He does Mathematics with our lives. We can make Mathematics with any kind of Matter as Mathematics, the very term, is Remote. Mathematics is Eternal, surpassing Time and Existence. It helps us to gauge whether things as they appear are Good or Bad.

With the Mathematical discipline, we can even observe and find which of it is good or poor that is Mathematics. All self-destructing stuff brought further by Mathematics to humanity was not so by it that can be called Good Mathematics. Mathematicising shall be for our collective welfare. If it shall be for cheating, Gambling, etc., or to show one’s own skill at calculations or any other base things to lessen others, that person is suffering from what is called as Mathematicosis. If a person accumulates lot of useless Data that is not in any way useful for his individual salvation in the first place, deposits as such left over by him, though by Mathematical Research of his own appreciation are nothing but excrements of his Mathematicosical self. They are doomed to be condemned to posterity! Mathematics is aimed at pleasure to the Soul rather than paining it!

Mathematical Music elaborates the beautiful aspects akin to the human self in particular and even to the stones in general and if pleasure were to the Soul, it ought to be in terms of this! Philosophical Poetry mingled with Mathematical Music Liberates us instantly and in order to achieve this Ultimatum only, we are trying so long in all our efforts. All the intoxicating stuff promoted by Music that would corrupt our Mind and lead to Sexual Slavery, Union, Lust, etc., are due to Mathematicosical Music i.e. Musicosis. If Mass Liberation is possible, it is achieved with the help of Mathematical Music alone. It is nothing but Soul melting the other Soul culminating in Godhood.

The power of this merger of Mathematical Music with us is tremendous! Mere Mathematics, i.e. without pleasing the Soul & burdening it further is what is not needed. Mere Music, i.e. without any Mathematical aspect is less Divine and impure and causes weariness to the Mind. Mathemusic is our immediate need in order to soothe our collective Spirit. There is no clash/chaos if Mathemusic is invented. It paves our way to transformation into God. Music and Mathematics are abstracted together to become Mathemusic. It is nothing but saying that Sound and Silence becoming each other! Generality and Particularity fusing together! Mathematicosis and Musicosis mimics in fake hood the just said behaviour of Mathemusic and corrupts our ideal right to Perfection and its aftermath i.e. Realisation.

Mathemusic helps us to collect all our deviated thoughts and makes them to unite rigidly so that we can concentrate most keenly in introspection and put an end to all our sufferings. After that finality, there is no Numbers, no Nuances, no playing and the game is over! The game that brought into being, the Time, is won at last. ‘We’ then turn into ‘I’ and this ‘I’ in turn changes into the Absolute Consciousness. In Music, this Blessing is called Silence the Absolute! In Mathematics, this Bliss is known as the Absolute Zero! There is no arousal of any thoughts once again! There is only the constant continuous colossal of happiness that is everlasting! Let us evolve Mathemusic and ever be joyful and ENLIGHTENED. Thus Liberation is effected at large transforming us into the POTENT SILENCE OF ZERO.

IRRELIGIOSITY

2006-03-15T14:17:00.001+05:30

IRRELIGIOSITY

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

ALL the time, the Humanity is slaughtered by Religious Wars. Religion is aimed at mis-interpretation. Given the time for it, Religion, its Foundation, gets Corrupted and yields to Chaos. Religion cannot be defined as long as it remains cause to the Blunders of Humanity. So, we take Irreligiosity in order to Dethrone Religiosity.

Religion Glorifies Customs and Practises instead of Liberation and Realisation. Like Furniture & Fish though qualified to mean Singular things, takes also into account the Plural of its likelihood, the word Religion is meant here for either Singular or Plural of its kind. The Crux of the Crises furthered by Religion is based upon unmindful or Blind acknowledging, imposed be inheritance or forced inducement. The Pharaohs of Egypt inter-married to the extent of incestuousness. The Hindu Rulers advocated Polygamy. That is to say, whenever these Rulers conquered other Folks, Mass Marriages or abduction in numerous magnitudes of the Rival Ruler’s Women Folk confirmed their conquest. There are various types of exploitations caused by Religion. These Religious diseases that trouble the Human Race as a Whole, I would name them as Religioses.

Our Minds, in Leibniz’s Phraseology, the ‘Monads’, are deeply affected by the Cosmic Emptiness. This Panic mingled with Confusion always makes us invent various Religion to which we succumb at last. The Peril of Religiosis is curable only when we stop Religionising. Intellectual Maturity has nothing to do with the Religious Stupidity. As Religiosis is a Sickness it affects our Body as well as our Mind. It slackens our Society and Stratifies it.

All that we acquire as a result of Religioses is nothing but Unrealisation. As long as we stay Unrealised how could we as the Fittest Survivors amongst other Species Cure or Rid ourselves from the Clutches of Religioses. God, Messiah, Prophet, etc., are all the words used or Propagated by the Religious Monasteries and its Monks.

All we want is an Amicable Situation & Place for Dwelling. If we get difference of opinion within the existing Religion, we invent one more & try to find accord within us in that. Even Science and the Rest of it are Outcomes of such disagreements hoping to Harmonise us. Always disharmonising is the only achievement of the so-called Religion or Religioses. We have so many Languages for example. This is an instance of Religiosis. Realisation is to Stay Neutral. We don’t want the Vision of Religious Enlightenment (that of God) but we want something Irreligious that shall give or assure us Accordance.

We want no Philosophy that would Preach us to increase our existing Problems. Philosophy can be termed as Scientific Religion until it Exhausts a Topic or Dialogue of its Long Time Discussion and after that Exhaustion it would give rise to Theology alias Religious Study. Perpetual Philosophising forms the Fundamental Essence for Religion. In total, the Scientific Religion amounts to saying as Religious Religion just because it leads to it in the end if we tend to close our Mind’s Eye and yield to the Lethargy of Philosophical Delusions.

We as an individual stand in defence of our separate Religion or Sub-Religion. We as a whole fall into Discordance as a result of our Collective Sickness i.e. Religioses. We need a lot of Human Groups in order to Secure our own diverse opinions. So we reproduce and impose our Status or Pass on to Generations our Religioses. Nature is nothing but our Heritage. As Nature has no Outlets, it Created us along with the other Flora and Fauna in order to carry on its Cult. So, the Religion, we have been so far discussing have had its Root in Nature. In Sum-Total, Nature, the very word arose as a result of Philosophising.

Does Philosophising have any Goal? By the Slack Philosophising, we could end up in Religion i.e. in Sickness, as a Pursuit of Numb Philosophy. This is no Pessimism against Philosophy just because right from the Beginning to the End i.e. Birth to Death, we feel that we are Limited. Our Scope is restricted. We are supposed to do Contradictory things Mentally & Practically and Nature the Acute Propagator of Religioses Bodily permits us to convert reversibly the forms in various proportions of Energy.

This just said statement might sound like a Philosophical Jargon. But they are expressions of the overall Human Resistance to lot of its self-destroying Religion and Religioses. We endure & fall Victims to all kinds of Religious Abuses as well as Atrocities. The Religion that we speak are not only God-Oriented but we also mean each and every attitude that provoke the Imbalance to our Stable Flourishing. For Ages, we have been in this line of Thinking. This is now the time to apply it for the sake of Liberation from the Claws of Religion.

How could we achieve the attitude of Neutral Philosophy? To be precise and clear, we must have to be a ZEROIST. Irreligiosity is the Business of the ZEROIST. All our former Blunders have to be set right and the ZEROIST cultivates this. We must use our WILL and diffuse our Older, Mistaken, Pro-Religious, Nasty & Pseudo Feelings. Our Fundamental Thought would transform if we Neutralise it with the help of ZEROISM. This is not an appendage to the already worn out Religion. This is one Final Attempt at the Solution for all the Sufferings of our Ancestors, our Future Generations and us in order that we shall have to be Blessed with. To Observe Irreligiosity in every deed of us is the Pursuit of ZERO. The present state of the World is based upon our Previous, Religious Sick-Oriented Longings. Let us correct our way at Life by Neutral Thinking that would be Harmless. Let us Neutralise ourselves by Pursuing and Observing the VOID Enshrined Everywhere, Within us and Out of us that is THE ZERO.

VEDANTANTA

2006-03-15T14:16:00.001+05:30

VEDANTANTA

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

THE word for Veda in Tamil, viz., “MARAI”, literally means, “to veil”, “to cover”, and the thing that is concealed is what is known as “Truth”. What is the necessity of hiding the Truth? If a thing is hidden, then only the play called “Hide and Seek” becomes meaningful. So, ‘Vedanta’ translates into the final discovery about the Nature of Truth i.e. ‘the epilogue of Veda’. Now, as to what is meant by ‘Vedantanta’, I shall give the explanation as the transformation into Truth, the cataclysm that might merge and mix us with Truth & the play of us with Truth there reaches to the curb, its goal thus being achieved successfully with the conquest of Truth i.e. ‘the epilogue of Vedanta’.

Vedas are never old and are ever new. They exist with or without somebody to recite them, to pursue them and to be benefited by them. We in our microcosmic as well as macrocosmic state are struggling after the Truth guarded by the Vedas. Every uttered sound as well as twinkled light finds its essence and origination in the Vedas. All light is but sounds only just because the latter is the primary form of the former.

The Vedas that are not conceived are so because they cannot be put into finiteness. That is, what we so far formulated would never and ever be equal to that of the entire composition of the Vedas. In order to interpret the content of the Veda we must have to immerse ourselves deeply into it. In the course of the interpretation the Veda itself would absorb us. That is the programme, which we have set forth for ourselves. The Veda is akin to us and it is everything to the aspirant pursuer of Truth. It maintains the regular courses of our life. All we must do is to pronounce in unison with the Vedic Pulsation. It is impossible to beat against the Vedic Music. If anyone does so, it is just because the Veda itself wants him or her to do so. It is the product of all our collective strivings. Whatever that is concrete, immortal and supreme, it is the Veda.

How many the languages and how many the concepts that we engrave with the help of them, they all lead to the Veda finally. Our reason is not final but the Veda is comprehensible to as many Super-reasons that we invent, in course of our merger with the Truth. To surpass the contradictions that we encounter we shift our older reasons to enhanced newer reasons. Logic is sensible only when it encounters limitedness but there is the corresponding Super-Logic to account for the mind-oriented advancements. To go away from Truth is to really appreciate the Veda. In doing so, we become tired of the pulchritudinous world and its tedious affairs and turn inward and at the climax we end in the Truth enshrined within us. This is the ultimate goal of the Veda, Vedanta and Vedantanta.

We attain Truth by approximating it. And all our approximations are found in the Veda. Note that they are not appended to the Veda. We live our lives as a kind of repetition. Does that imply the saturation of the Veda? Saturation is one concept found in the Veda. In order to let saturation to flourish, the Veda accounts for it in terms of phenomena such as repetition etc. All that the Veda cares for is not to adjudge any of its contents as a thing of past or post existence. Its concepts thus live forever in eternity. That is what one could, out of his experiences with the Veda, finally boast of and ascertain for, in somewhat definite terms!

Liberation is the most personal experience that ought to be felt by an individual. The idea of Moksha i.e. Liberation is to be understood clearly and felt sublimely. It is the thought that would engulf and transform an individual into Truth after long periods of hardships. Unless otherwise one would personally feel the Truth for himself and be satiated, he would not have the guts to proclaim to himself that he is satisfied. The drive for Moksha should not be ever satisfied with a prey that is at least a few amount lesser than what Truth actually is! Till then we have to impose upon ourselves lot of vicious and curious entanglement.

When Veda lifts its veil, Truth is seen but to one who has closed his two eyes, the one seeing the world with the help of the outer light (the Physical Eyes) and the other with the bewitching eye of the faulty Ego (the Mind’s Eye) which is interested in consuming even Truth in smaller proportions only. When a person achieves in the task of closing the just said eyes, the Veda then gives the Sacred Darshan of its Truth to this Athmic Aspirant and absorbs him. We have to yield ourselves without any commitments to untruth and submit the essential crux of us to the Truth guarded by the Veda i.e. the Vedic Truth and transform ourselves totally and rigidly into it. There ends the end of the Egotistic mortal life and begins the Everlasting Divine Life of the VEDANTANTA.

SOUL-STRUCTURE

2006-03-15T14:15:00.002+05:30

SOUL-STRUCTURE

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

THERE is no Mathematics without Structure. There is no Science without Mathematics. When it comes to Soul which is Non Structural, Mathematics relies upon Philosophy in order to comprehend it. Philosophy, if aided with the Chisel of Mathematics brings forth Thoughts into Forms; Forms into Shapes; Shapes into Figures; And Figures into Soul whereby the Thoughts are Perfected and Transformed into the Ultimatum that is the Soul. The variety of Creation is the result of the Thought-Soul Transformation. In short, we can correlate Soul to Zero and Thought to Infinity and this reckoning helps us make things clear and precise.

Without the Soul-Structure Lineage, Be it Mathematics or Be it Philosophy both get infested with Confusion. The path traversed by Thought into Soul inclusive of the Extremities is called the Quintessential Route. Thoughts that miss any of the Five-fold path might be deemed to be in a deformed State. These are called Incomplete Thoughts. That is the Thoughts that never complete the vistas and Mimic as if they had traced the Mile Stones, viz., Form, Shape, Figure and at the climax become Soul would be rejected and there comes the problem of setting these Mal-Souls into the Perfection i.e. the Soul. The kiss of Zero and Infinity i.e. Soul and Structure transforms Mind into any of the Extremity. Mind is the intermediary between Soul and Structure. As long as there is Space between Soul and Structure, Mind dwells in between. So, Form, Shape and Figure are the Three dimensions of Mind or Space. Space, if mingled either with Soul or Thought invents Time i.e. Life. Mind with the direction either towards Soul or Structure is termed as Life or Work or Time. We name the Mind with the Pointing as the Directed Mind. Also, the Directed Mind is called The Body.

The components of Mind, viz., Form, Shape and Figure may appear as Synonyms. They are so but with increasing dimensions. A thought has no dimension i.e. Zero dimension. A Form has the dimension one. We can associate a Form to a Point. Next, a Shape has the dimension Two. We can equate a Shape to a Circle. Finally, a Figure has the dimension Three. Similarly, we can connect a Figure to a Sphere. These gradations are must and should in the Travelogue of Thoughts. A Thought, which has no urge, or the Fulfilled Thought is known as The Soul. Similarly the steady or stable or static Soul is Christened as The ZEROID. This ZEROID state is the Ever Eternal Blissful God-State. There is No Mind, No Body, and No Numbers in the ZEROID. It is the Goal of the Adventurous Thought(s): "Zero is in Infinity whereas Infinity is not in Zero." This concept distinguishes the uniqueness of Zero and Infinity. Here, we meant Zero to be ZEROID.

There is Absolute Zero but not Absolute Infinity. And the thing that is same for both is the ZEROID. Infinity comprises all except the Zero-Stillness. There is lot of activity in Infinity and there is tremendous Silence in Zero. It is the Touch of Zero and Infinity that brings all Creation but within the Union of Zero and Infinity underlies the ZEROID ideally without participating in the Communion. It takes several times repeating the act of Mutual Engulfing between Zero and Infinity that culminates into the ZEROID. Infinity is Chaotic; Zero is Energy in Order; And ZEROID is Perfection in Super-Supreme.

It is to Theorise the Zero in order to derive the ZEROID that Everything came into Existence. If there is a way into, there is also a way out of. These two, if considered as the complementary of each other can be combined into one by taking Infinity and condensing it as if the Zeros that constitute Infinity are merged to appear as the Zero in Singularity. At last, The Monism attributed to the Single Zero is discarded by the process called Neutralisation and this advents the cataclysmic emergence of the ZEROID. Here, emergence is ascertained with the meaning of Becoming. By the Thought-Processes initiated by mere Thinking we achieve and Become the ZEROID. Philosophising and Mathematicising are respectively the Refining and Perfecting Business of the Truth Enshrined in the Thought. These two aids in the pursuit of Truth and they are called as ZEROICS in their Fused Nature or Kind or Form. It is also called The Theory of All that ZEROICS is the Generalisation of Mathematics and Philosophy.

ZEROID is the Boon conferred upon the Thinking Soul. It is the Soul and the Structure transformed into itself that is achieved by the endless practise of Thinking. As soon as the Big Bang exploded, all Creation came and as soon as the ZEROID is attained, all Universe is Stilled and that is the Unified Purpose and the Cosmic Conclusion of Everything. Thinking gives the collective perspiration seriously pursued its Truth Realised ZEROID State i.e. LIBERATION. ZEROID can also be understood as ZERO - ID that is the 'ID' that has become ‘THE ZERO'.

A CRITIQUE OF LANGUAGE GAME

2006-03-15T14:14:00.001+05:30

A CRITIQUE OF LANGUAGE GAME

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

THE business of Philosophy is to generate Philosophers in abundance. “A good Ruler should be a good Philosopher”. Plato suggested in favour of this statement so that this maxim must be realised in terms of the formation of the Ideal Government. Either it be Monarchy of Democracy, tackling the mass and leading the people must be the duty of the person in power. To make a better world in which various people coexist, various ways converge in the same goal i.e. Truth, we, the people, shall cultivate Thinking. It is to this Hyper Process known as Thinking, that we attribute the advent of various Sciences, various Philosophies, various concepts in general. We live in order to Think and by Thinking alone we realise and fulfil. To quench or discard Thinking is confusion. And confusion breeds contradiction to the extent of turning the Mind into corruption. Playing with Language is wasting the most valuable Life of others of healthy temperament wanting to pursue Truth and realise it and become it at last. The persons accused of using Language Game in their ways have, as steady habit, yield to self contradict themselves without any realisation and tend to advocate lots of mockery.

As Mathematics is the Art of saying the same thing in different ways, at least it blesses us with a solution in the end. The champion of Language Game is one who does all sorts of nonsense without any coordination, i.e. he tells one thing, thinks the other and means some other. Such people make the world rotten, impure and at last turn it into its passive admissions to dangerous diseases culminating into sickness. An Amicable World is so only when these Tautologists i.e. the Language Gamers must be defeated and well cured of their illness.

Language Game can arouse curiosity in the beginning but it tests the patience severely of the ardent pursuer of Truth. The serious seeker demands something concrete and soon learns the lack of it in the Tautologist’s illogical claims. To build something out of something is sane but to do so out of nothing is inactivity. There is no space without action anywhere and everywhere there is the movement towards Truth. Language is the boon of any good civilization. With this boon we should make meaningful matter out of ourselves. Any advocating that stand against our steady progression must be banned. The aim of any worthy society is to make the individual of its composition liberate himself / herself and achieve the goal of his / her Life. Distrust, vulgarity, differed opinions, hatred, barbarism, ill conduct, etc., are the achievements of Language Game. To spoil growth is the very attitude of Tautology. We must let it exist only to refrain from it. If we permit it to dominate us, we will be cheated of our most valuable possession and Gift of God that is The Time.

By seriously practising “Meaning” we attain Spirituality. The Soul possessed of the God-Spirit spreads Nobility. Immortalising the Body, Synthesis of the Elixir, Discovering the Philosopher’s Stone, etc., are the inventions of the Tautologists or Language Gamers. They are same, repeated as well as inert and vicious. Their substance is at loggerheads. Breathing is also repeated but it sustains Life whereas Language Game falsifies our Life’s purpose. By Language Game is not only meant the uttered or written words but the deeds that instruct us towards untruth and extinguishes our potentiality.

There are lot of things to take care of in a Life full of happiness and beauty and there is no point in going after mere confusions brought about by Language Game oriented origins. In order to prophesy all falsehood and cause weariness to the listener, one should stick to Language Game. All unwanted things proposed by these Language Gamers are waste just because they lead us away from Truth. We must be clever enough to detect the traps that lay hidden in our tracks set by the wizards of Language Game. The easiest way to escape these people from afflicting us is to learn the impracticability of their statements and find out the Gassy Blankness which their sayings lead us to. Wisdom is never painful and it always flourishes philosophy by recreating it, until it is created perfectly with purity and discarding from it all the impurities acquired in the form of rubbishes left out by the unrealised, lazy and dummy parasites of the infectious blunder called the Language Game.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF PHILOSOPHY

2006-03-15T14:13:00.003+05:30

THE PHILOSOPHY OF PHILOSOPHY

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

PHILOSOPHY—The word itself is so Pliable as well as so Remote that it deserves to be interpreted into an infinity of definitions. But our concern here is not to add one more to the numerous definitions of Philosophy, rather we consider the Essence and Truism of Philosophy as a lively discipline of the Human Intellect.

The Philosophising ability of the Human Beings yield the advent of various Paths upon which the Human Quest for Truth is Advocated. Philosophical Process is like that of digging the Earth in search of the Crude Diamond which is comparable to that of inquiring upon Truth in order to Procure the Crude God. Once the Crude Diamond is achieved, there comes the Process called Refining which is nothing but Polishing. This Process of Refining is known as Mathematicising. The Process of obtaining the Crude Diamond is termed as Philosophising. So these two Subjects have a direction of their own in order to point to. Therefore Philosophy is the Crude Form of Truth. As to the title, it simply suggests us that The Philosophy of Philosophy means a Double Superposition, that is, it means Thick Philosophy. As Philosophy is always Loose in its Core, Thick Philosophy merely points to the destination of its Course.

By the Refining Process, Mathematics accumulates several Rubbishes. So, although the Dazzling Diamond is got at the end of the Polishing Act or the Rubbing Method, Mathematics attains its goal by shifting its Course to that of Philosophy. At this instant Philosophy also shifts its Course to Mathematics. Therefore Philosophy and Mathematics are two Extremes of the Universal Path to Truth. As these two proceeds toward each other, at the Critical Point of Mutual Engulfing, a new Subject is Born. After this Birth of the Subject which is comparable to that of the Glowing Diamond, it is accepted as an Adornment Piece by the Truth which is the God Almighty. After this Bliss, Mathematics and Philosophy Mutually Transpose themselves and again initiate their old business. The Sole Beneficiary of this Divine Plan is We Humans.

I would now onwards call Mathematics and Philosophy as Mathesophy. The Mathesophical Mode pervades everywhere. Not only by the Humans that the Mathesophical Discipline is pursued as a kind of Birthright or by Default (=by Nature) but also by the other Life Forms as well as the Lifeless Forms. Anything that has a Form has the Mathesophical Mode. By Mathesophical Mode I mean the Mutual Engulfing of Void and Matter. It chiefly explains that Void is Non Structural and Matter is Structural.

There is Void within Matter as well as out of Matter. So Energy Binds Matter to a Structure or Form or Frame. At the Critical Point of filling Matter within the Frame by Polishing the Void further, the Frame brakes away yielding to the swallowing of Matter by Void. If Void swallows Matter, then Matter acquires the Body or Frame. If Matter swallows Void, then it looses its Body or breaks away its Frame. This is the Genesis of the Divine Play. Mathesophy Reverberate this Phenomenon at every stage of its improvement and helps us in our conditioning and leads us individually to each of our Liberation Personally. I reiterate Personally just because each and everyone of us shall in the Subtle Droplet Form might Merge with the Ocean of Truth and Transform into Truth. This is our Unified Aim.

The Mutual swallowing of Matter and Void are never separate and they are simultaneous. The aim Ultimatum of this Mutual Engulfing is to Realise Truth and Transpose the previous places of Origin. By this Unceasing Act, Truth Establishes itself as an Edifice and Drinks the Ectoplasm thus Generated by the Mutual action of Void and Matter. There is Matter within Void as well as out of Void. And Matter and Void are two Entities which constitute the Truth. In general we can associate Void and Matter to each of Mathematics and Philosophy.

As long as the Separatist Mind exists, Truth is conceived as Void and Matter and it Splits Mathosophy into Mathematics and Philosophy. Thoughtless Mind is Void and Thoughtful Mind is Matter. So within ourselves, by knowing it or not there prevails the Battle of Void and Matter. Out of ourselves also these Battle continues. Mind is the Separator of ourselves whether to Care for these overwhelming Combats or not. If we Care, we Limit us and if we Care not we Expand us. But this Caring is the quality afflicted upon us by the Mind which always functions in terms of Stratifications.

Mind is the Burden imposed upon Being. In order to free itself of Mind, our Being Mortifies the Mind. Therefore due to Mind’s Mortification, Void is Created. As soon as Void is Created, Matter also gets Created effecting the Rebirth of the Mind. Being, that is Truth, again does the same and the Unending Conquest of Matter and Void by each other continues. Then, what is the End of these Processes? It is nothing but the Beginning of them once again. So, what is the use of these Repeated Patterns? By these Repeated Patterns we get various Philosophies, Philosophies of Philosophies,…,ad infinitum. As per God’s Examination we are doing our individual Deeds and as per His Evaluation of our Works we are Passed on to HIS GRACEFUL ABODE.

NONNUMERISM

NONNUMERISM

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

THINKING in its essence is a kind of Counting. All kinds to which Thinking form an integral part utilises the Numeric Mind. Numbers are the Core of anything that is Thinking. Thought Processes are governed in a similar way to that of the Laws of Numbers. Here is associated not the variety of Numbers found in Mathematics but whenever a Mind excites itself in the form of Shapes, Sounds or Observances of the Process of Breathing, etc., it is subjected to the Activity called Numerism. Unlike the Natural Numbers in which each Number is got by the Sum-Total of its Predecessors except the Cardinal Number 1 which we add doubly in order to get the Cardinal Number 2 so that the rest of the kind alike that is the Natural Numbers follows. Thinking progresses as a kind of Relay between the Origin i.e. the Subject and the Object i.e. the Thought. Due to the Thinking habit, the Numeric Mind i.e. the Thinking Mind Lives.

All our experiences are the Sum-Total of our earlier Thinking. This is one such thing that can be Correlated with the Set of Natural Numbers. Life Flourishes by the interplay of Thoughts over the Nonnumeric Mind i.e. the Soul. By abiding in the Soul, the Mind Charges itself with Energy and by driving itself out of the Soul it spends the Energy thus acquired. Thinking comprises of the five feelings of the Body. These feelings combined within themselves yield various dimensions to Thinking. The steady habit of Life is to force the Mind to Numerise. As soon as Mind looses Energy as a result of Numerising(=Thinking), the Anti-Life i.e. Death forces the Mind towards the Soul in order to get itself Charged so that to initiate again the oscillating play between the Life and the Anti-Life in terms of Numerism and Nonnumerism.

The Seed of Life is nothing but the Thought. Life is an Amalgamation of Thoughts to its Wholeness when it is influenced by the flow of steady Energy from the Soul. So the Body is the container of the Amalgamated Thoughts. Therefore the World is an Amalgamation of various Bodies. Then the Universe is an Amalgamation of various Worlds. To all these Quintessential Manifestations, the Seed of Thinking i.e. the Thought is Fundamental. For this Primary Thought, Life forms the Basis of extracting Energy from the Soul. Generation of Energy is the duty of the Mind. Mind gets fulfilled when the totality of the Soul is transformed into Energy.

After the fulfilment of the Mind, it becomes a Zero. Zero is the Pseudonym of God. Nonnumerism becomes then the steady state of affairs of the God. The Mind has to do a lot of Work in order to make itself the God. This Work is performed ceaselessly whether the Mind likes it or not. The Mind in its course of work Splits into many in order that a Community of Minds is produced but the Work is the Self imposition of the each and every distributed Minds. The Phenomenon of Splitting can be understood by associating various Qualities to the Mind.

To attain its Goal, the Mind devises various Methods with great Intellectualism which can be wondered awfully! It is the plan of Thinking to segregate itself accordingly so that the Bodies in which the Thoughts in the form of Mind are Enshrined, could decide upon the course of expansion. The Neutral Mind and the Charged Mind are the two such kinds of the Mind juxtaposed with a Will to Conquer and the strategy of Conquest is that the Neural Mind which is devoid of Energy is swallowed by the Charged one. Outwardly we have the Male Body and the Female Body but their Sexes are decided previously by the Battle of the Minds. The Charged Mind swallows the Neutral Mind and Splits the fused Neutral Mind into two and mingles with its likelihood.

This is a kind of Process by which the Charged Mind again acquires further Energy comparable to that of Life forcing out the Abided Mind with the Soul. The extra Energy thus obtained is enshrined in the Body as an act of fission but the Sex of the Body thus fissed out is decided by the Sum-Total of the Thoughts i.e. odd is Male and Even is Female like in the case such as the Natural Numbers. Oddity & Evennity are Mere Adjustments. There can be other Variations to this Concept of Oddity & Evennity dealing with the Choice of the Sexes with their own typicality of explanations!

Nonnumerism, i.e. Thoughtlessness is the state of God, the Supreme. We are in the Mid of our way to God. Each and every deed of us are aimed towards God. God is Nonnumeric i.e. God is never Thinkable but God is only Be-able. As we equate God to Zero, we similarly Equate Nonnumerism to Goddism which in turn equals ZEROISM.

SRI ARUNACHALA PURANAM REVISITED

SRI ARUNACHALA PURANAM REVISITED

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

REGISTERING facts in the form of stories or puranas are the accepted way of securing them to posterity. Thus we have at our disposal the greatest epics Ramayana and Mahabharatha. The facts elaborated in these epics are always relevant to our day to day activities. Persons who think seriously and compare their lives with that of those narrated in the cherished puranic stories may definitely find lot of solutions to their problems in them revealed wisely. The Temples, the Synagogues, the Pyramids, the Mosques, the Churches and the like such were built in order to spread the contents of the puranas and stories to the humankind at large. We take an acute look into the Arunachala Puranam in this tract now.

Brahmmam, Eeswaram and Naaraayanam are the three fundamental entities based upon which the concept of spiritualism of the Hindus can be interpreted. The male forms of Brahmmam, Eeswaram and Naaraayanam are respectively Brahma, Siva and Vishnu. Similarly the female forms of Brahmmam, Eeswaram and Naaraayanam are respectively Lakshmi, Saraswathi and Sakthi. We can also comprehend these couples of the trinities mathematically as follows: - The male and female of Brahmmam are + ∞ and - ∞ respectively, i.e., Plus Infinity and Minus Infinity. The male and female of Eeswaram are + 0 and – 0 respectively, i.e., Plus Zero and Minus Zero. And the male and female of Naaraayanam are + Number and – Number respectively, i.e., Plus Number and Minus Number. So we match for Brahma and Saraswathi as {+ ∞, - 0}. Our match for Eeswara or Siva and Sakthi is {+ 0, - N}. And the match for Naaraayana or Vishnu and Lakshmi is {+ N, - ∞}. Here N refers to any Positive Number other than 0 & ∞. We make an analogy concerning the males of the trinities mentioned earlier. That is, the cosmic slate is Vishnu, the cosmic eraser is Siva and in completion, the cosmic scribbler is none other than the Supreme, Brahma. I call Brahma the Supreme just because He is the Entirety, All in One and the Ultimate. Actually He is the Infinite Headed Being.

The Arunachala Puranam is the travelogue of Ego from Brahma en route Vishnu to Siva. When Ego got its birth in Brahma, it provoked satisfaction in him. When it reached Vishnu, it prompted in him imbalance. Finally when it reached Siva, it is destroyed. Brahma is satisfied when he achieves perfection. Ego is Brahma’s check of perfection. The three manifestations of Ego are when it is with Brahma, it is acknowledged as Manas; when it is with Vishnu, it is identified as Maaya; and when it is with Siva, it is recognised as Kaala.

Since the Ego is rooted in Brahma, it imposed on Siva the Brahmmahatthi Dhosha (that is the sin of killing a great being) before returning to its birth place as a nullified entity. Brahma is urged to fill in the cosmos with matter. He uses the cosmic slate and the cosmic eraser as his primary tools to accomplish the task of writing the cosmic drawing. As soon as the slate is densely packed with the scribblings of Brahma, then comes the time for the Creator to rub with the help of the eraser the entire contents of the slate and start afresh. This has been the eternal ritual. During this course, Brahma and Para Brahma shift their mutual domains and after this transformation they start their creation blissfully. That is, if we start from Zero and trek towards Infinity, we in course of very long time might reach at last the destination Infinity. But after that reaching of us, we confirm it by noting our distance from the starting zeroth point that our place has now become Zero and our starting place has become Infinity. So we again trek in the reverse to chase the other end. This is the game plan of SRIMADH VIRAT VISWAKARMA PARABRAHMA.

Now to the actual story. Satisfaction is the only goal of Brahma’s creating act. Once he gets it, he stops his business and takes rest. So, during the initial stage of Pralayaa (Total Destruction), he started a Dhik Vijaya (All Round Tour) to the created i.e. the World. Before his voyage, he planned his tour and carefully placed the fragrant flower Thaazhampoo (in Tamil), [Moghali Puvvu (in Telugu), Ketaka Pushpam (in Sanskrit), Screw Pine Flower (in English), Pandanus Fleur (in French), Schraubenbaum Blumen (in German) and in Botanical Nomenclature called the Pandanus Odoratissimus] on Siva’s Head. So everything went as perfectly devised by Lord Brahma. At the close of the trip of Brahma, Vishnu the container of Brahma’s creations, cried by saying, due to overburden, that Brahma had to salute him as he felt he was greater than Brahma. This was the actual point at which the commencing of the quarrel between Brahma and Vishnu was started. After war of words, they wrestled with each other.

For a very long time the clash continued steadfastly. They plucked huge trees, huge rocks to hurt the other. The battle proceeded without rest. There was nobody to interfere and bring peace and the world with all its goodness was turned topsy-turvy into disorder. Almost all that was created was demolished. The object of this never ending feud was nothing but total destruction. After this non-stop war, Brahma and Vishnu got tired. They decided to get it clarified with the help of the eraser, Siva. That is, the destroyed dust had to be wiped out by the eraser in order to get the slate ready to contain new creation.

In Brahmmam itself is both Sivam and Naaraayanam. It is for the sake of understanding that we conceive the singular Brahmmam as a plural concept. That is, in the first place we split Brahmmam into the Trio Sivam, Naaraayanam and Brahmmam. Secondly in Naaraayanam, we have Sivam included. It is in order to make our grasp easy that we split it into two viz., Sivam and Naaraayanam. Thirdly in Sivam i.e. Eeswaram we have none other than itself. It is subtle, absolute and primary. So Sivam and Naaraayanam are the parts of Brahmmam. They are dutiful to the will of Brahmmam. They are influenced by Brahma’s field. If Sivam and Naaraayanam started behaving as if they are separate, it then becomes responsible for Brahmmam to devise certain plots to accomplish the task of bringing Sivam and Naaraayanam under control. That is why we have the Arunachala Puranam.

Brahma and Vishnu decided to let their greatness be decided by Siva after long combat. With this decision they approached Lord Siva seated peacefully in trance. Due to the influence of Ego handed over by Vishnu to Siva, he convinced Brahma and Vishnu to look for the end of his top and base. Having said thus, Siva turned himself into a dazzling column of fire i.e. as the Lingodhbhavamoorthi and continued expanding into Aakaasam (Space) and into Paathaalam (Abyss). Vishnu transformed himself into Swetha Varaaham (White Boar) and begun digging with his tusks the earth in search of the base of the Lingodhbhavamoorthi. Brahma in the form of Hamsa (Swan) flew over the top of the column of fire in order to see Siva’s summit.

We comprehend these two activities of Vishnu and Brahma respectively as the subtracting process and the adding process. That is, suppose Vishnu to be the number 10. We start subtracting by 1 successively. Due to this act of subtraction we see that the number 10 changed into 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and finally to 0 i.e. Eeswaram. So the cosmic slate, its contents therein are totally wiped out and it became clean expecting further creation to hold with. As Brahma’s going to the top is compared with adding, from Zero onwards we add 1 to 0 continuously summing up. Thus we get 1, 2, 3, 4, … . But Siva’s wiping act proceeded even after cleaning the slate, unendingly. That is, Siva became uncontrollable and destroyed all without consenting to Brahma.

At the point of Siva turning himself into the light beam, the Thaazhampoo as placed earlier by Brahma himself on Siva’s head, thanks to Brahma’s foresight, slipped down. After the lapse of many yugaas of travelling both by the Swan and the Thaazhampoo in either direction, Brahma got hold of the Divine Flower Thaazhampoo in his grips. Brahma then descended and reached the place from where he had commenced his flight. There he saw Vishnu bowing to Siva. Siva’s superiority was short lived as Brahma showed him the Thaazhampoo as the proof and witness for his having seen the summit of Siva. Thaazhampoo is the embodiment of Brahma’s consort Sri Saraswathi. As Brahma’s perspiration of flying upwards was blessed with the gift of his consort Sri Saraswathi personified Thaazhampoo, Vishnu’s hardship of digging into the earth bestowed him with his consort Sri Lakshmi personified Sri Bhumadevi and Siva’s expanding himself in space as Lingodhbhavamoorthi presented him with his consort Sri Sakthi personified Prakruthi (Mother Nature).

Actually, Brahma’s conquest of Siva and hence Vishnu is explained by the law of transitivity. In short, it states that if a = b and b = c, then a = c. That is Brahma saw Thaazhampoo and Thaazhampoo saw the head of Siva from where it had descended, so Brahma in conclusion saw the head of Siva. That’s all! If Siva was really greater than Brahma, then Brahma’s seeing the Thaazhampoo and getting its hold should not have occurred. Now it was happened! So Brahma thus controlled Siva’s egoistic temperament. Upon seeing his master Siva’s position thus disturbed by Brahma’s establishing that he had conquered Siva by seeing his head, the Siva Ghanam (Siva’s steward) Kaalabhairava plucked the Fifth Head of the Pancha Mukha Brahma. The Brahma Kabhaalam consumed Kaalabhairava as its maiden prey. It then fell upon the palms of Siva and accommodated on the grips firmly in the inverted position.

As a consequence of the ingestion of Kaalabhairava by the Brahma Kabhaalam, the Time that he represented was frozen and everything became still except the visionless Siva asking for alms with the cranium of Brahma’s Fifth Head. This happened on the day of Sivaraathri or darkness of Siva’s ignorance! As a result of the Time being frozen, it is absurd to catalogue the consequent events that followed till the next day of Mayaanakkollai or the ‘Loot of the Graveyard’ to a particular period or duration of time. The flight of Brahma over the Top of Siva which can be comprehended as a kind of wiping the Cosmos using Siva as a wiper by Brahma might have taken infinity of time or yugaas for its accomplishment! As time is relative, it can be subjected to contraction or expansion along with space. The frozen Time on Sivaraathri was invigorated on Mayaanakkollai, as if they were two following days. The episode that happened in between those two days was beyond time and hence ubiquitous.

The Kabhaala (Cranium) swallowed everything that was put into it. As a result due to the Brahmmahatthi Dhosha, Siva became very hungry. He collected the entirety of the Cosmos and put into his Biksha Pot that was the Brahma Kabhaala. That too, the Kabhaala ate! In conclusion, he went to the consort of Brahma, Sri Saraswathi who was Siva’s female form. The Goddess then poured the Divine Ambrosia into her spouse’s Kabhaala that was being used by Siva as a Begging Device. To the surprise of Siva, the Kabhaala got filled. Siva took the Kabhaala nearer to his mouth. Unexpectedly, the Brahma Kabhaala swallowed Siva himself and then became the Lingajeeranamoorthi (the God who had digested the Siva’s Identity and Form i.e. the Sivalingam). After consuming or giving place to Siva in its entirety, the Kabhaala ejected all that was previously consumed or swallowed by it along with Time in exchange.

The day that followed Sivaraathri which is being celebrated annually as ‘Mayaanakkollai’ or ‘Loot of the Graveyard’ is in memoriam of the recreated stuff that the Brahma Kabhaala had ejected by rejuvenating the lifeless that filled the grave like world. Thus Siva got his actual Swaroopa as the eraser in the hold of Brahma as his Inner Face i.e. the Thathpurusham or the Antharmukham. And the Brahma, now called Sri Panchamukheeswara with four faces outward (Eesanyam, Agoram, Vaamadevam, Sathyojaatham) and the Lingam as Inner Face (Thathpurusham) resumed his act of creation.

THE ARUNACHALAM, the Siva’s or THE ZERO’S ABODE (Thiruvannaamalai, the heart & pulse of the world, the Arunagiri & the Siddhapuri in Tamilnadu, South India) is reminiscent with the Agni Lingam of Lord Siva also called Lord Sri Arunachaleswara Swami. THE BRAHMACHALAM, the Brahma’s or THE ZEROID’S ABODE [ZEROID = ZERO + NUMBERS + INFINITY] (Sri Kaalahasthi Mountain, the brain & intellect of the world, the Brahmagiri & the Gnaanapuri) is reminiscent with the Antharmukham of Brahma, the Brahmalingam or the Vaayulingam of Lord Sri Brahmachaleswara also called as Lord Sri Kaalahastheeswara Swami, enshrined at Sri Kaalahasthi, in Andhra Pradesh, South India.

This phenomenon repeats forever and Brahma due to his exasperation again acquires the Fifth Head by exposing it above his four faces and if it will be plucked again, the same story follows at once in order to enliven perfection. If there are no mischiefs from the created and also from his tools, then the Five Headed Brahma liberates everything by his mergence called as Maha Moksha.

In essence, it is the mutual engulfing of the Brahmmam and the Eeswaram in the Naaraayanam for the cherished invention of the PERFECT-INFINITE-BLISS known as the BRAHMAANANTHAANANDHAM that is reiterated in the quintessential story of Sri Arunachala Puranam.

SARVAMUKTHI
OR
LIBERATION EN MASSE

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

THE one thing common to all of us Earthlings is Suffering. Pain glorifies Suffering. That is, if we are able to separate Pain from ourselves then we achieve as a result of it, Happiness. But Pain and Suffering are not separable from each other and these in turn are inseparable from us. All Civilization, the mutual shifting of Monarchy and Democracy to Power, Abstainment of Cannibalism, Practise of Non-violence, etc., are aimed at isolating Suffering from, if not from all the living beings but at least, from Mankind. It is evident that Mankind is the only Species of its kind to Suffer more from Pain. We can call it as Painkind just because the animals in a Slaughterhouse where they stand Butchered Ruthlessly by us face their predicament without attempting for a strategy that would permanently rescue them or their entire clan as a whole.

We are granted with a Mind, which we call advanced to the extent of Reigning the World, so particularly to the matter of controlling other lesser Life Forms. What factor places us at the top level than the other Species? It is Memory. Memory & Recall habits of Mankind are the root cause of its present state of affairs. As Pain provokes Suffering, similarly, Recall provokes Memory. We are also endowed with a Self each to attribute the result of Pain. The Self is a system that operates between likes and dislikes, i.e. a Thinking Entity. Perhaps, it may be termed as the Soul. All our deeds are in one way or another aimed at pleasing our Souls. Animals as well as inanimate things do also have souls. But they have it to the level according to suppressed Memory Urges. Urge has to be satisfied as soon as it is felt. Here feeling refers to the Attributed Thinking Machine that is the Soul. Urge is a factor that splits a Soul into many. Urgeless Soul is the Liberated, i.e. The Zeroid.

If an Urge is satisfied we get Pleasure. If not, we get Pressure from within. To free ourselves from the Pressure thus forced by the unsatisfied Urge we strive hard in order to quench the Urge and relax our Soul under Pressure. Pressurising the Free Soul is the business of Life. And Urging is the steady activity of Life. If the total Urge as a whole is collected and satisfied we attain Bliss. In the course of the collection of all Urges, if we cannot bind together all of them, then we achieve Bliss for some time. As there are other Urges that remain unsatisfied, we must have to start afresh in order to assemble the Urges again. An Urge arisen is called a Birth and an Urge satisfied is called a Death. Body is used to isolate Urges, which will lead to Permanent Bliss. All the Split (=Atomic) Thoughts of a Body are its Organs. They have the capacity to create their own Body. There is Mankind as a Body in Particular and Lifekind as a Body in the Middle and Everything, Lifeful as well as Lifeless as a Body in General. So, whatever we do, we do so in order to achieve constant Bliss. Unless we totally get Liberated, we never and ever get the Permanent Bliss.

Individual Liberation when collected together yields the Mass Liberation. It assures us the confidence of bringing together all our common things that are our Urges by Liberating us in Stages. Liberation is a Step-by-Step Process. Soul is same for all of us. It is our Common Essence. It is the duty of the Urges to Vary the Soul and Conceive it in smaller proportions and set the things moving. Let us restrict our Urges completely by Investigating and Understanding it and Achieve the Bliss entirely so that ‘We’ become ‘I’ and finally reduce even this ‘I’ to Nothing that is THE ZERO and ever remain BLISSFUL.

ZEROICS
OR
THE STUDY OF ZERO

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

STUDYING so far as its meaning is concerned is to come closer to the understanding of the Truth of the specimen that has been taken for penetration. All other studies, at the end of their examinations keep a distance, a kind of aloofness between the examiner and the result of the examination. Say, for instance that we want to study the freshness of a fruit. What might we do in order to check for its freshness? If it is an Apple, we might commission our sense of olfactory and check whether the fragrance spreading from the Apple is rotten or pure. As conclusion we are separate from the stand of the statement that we make of the Apple. So the report has nothing to do with us personally but it adds a little to our knowledge. All knowledge is thinking in terms of recalling and forgetting. But the knowledge of Zero is being. So at the end of the Study of Zero we transform into Zero, become Zero and ever exist as Zero eternally.

Our Life-Program is pre-planned to take us away from our ultimate Truth and totally stupefy ourselves from obtaining a grasp of it. Who programmed our fate like this or that as to our present state now? Perhaps, we may attribute the programmer of our destinies to God if we are theists or to Sin if we believe in our deeds. We can say about the question of belief alone to pages and pages endlessly. We are dimmed very much as to the opinions regarding the mere Truth of ourselves. All Life is continuous searching for Truth. Those who achieve it are called the Liberated and the secondary populace surrounding the so-called Liberated misinterpret the nature of them and do all sorts of corruption regarding the Truth as enlightened, enliven & lived by the Liberated. And this is what that accounts for all our split versions of Truth.

Science is a slave of reason. And reason in turn is a slave of dependency. We have to rely upon something to claim for our reason. Be it on the Truth or Falsity of the bi-reasoning process or be it on the singularity of belief based on the dogmatic mono-reasoning process. As far as materialism is concerned reasoning accounts for all the credibility of the nature of it. But reasoning mocks our Truth. One may wonder the author on what ground he is claiming this stand. Is he reasonable as to his statement that reasoning mocks our Truth? I won’t say that I am reasonable but want to accuse the process called reasoning. With Language we won’t agree just because all Language starts from certain primitives as axioms. Any reasoning process, so far as it is concerned has to bluntly accept its own kind of axioms and move around. Language is the Music of reasoning. But the Music of Truth is Silence. Hence whatever we utter makes up to degrade Truth. That is, what we think as reasonable in its core is axiom founded and has to be readjusted & modified whenever progress is made. And there is no end to progress of this kind.

Reasoning cannot be reasoned without admitting to the axiomatic settings. All our deeds are based on taking the body as granted and this likelihood is associated with the axiom-founded reasoning. We built so many bodies explaining so many things with the help of the primitive body that was taken as granted. So we set out always adjustment-needed and adjustment-short-time remedied systems and keep moving around thinking that our path would lead to Truth. To put an end to the axiom rooted reasonings we must have to question the axiom itself. As Truth cannot be questioned, there is no need to accept it as granted. If we want to engage ourselves in enquiring Truth we temporarily stick to axiom-rooted reasoning businesses and fill the world with sparkling ocean of Truth. After spending our energies to the extent of nothingness that we diminish less and less of resources, we become Silent and that will lead to the so-called Truth. Zero is not an axiom as it is our Consciousness itself and if we abide in our Self never rising with reason, we sustain permanence of the Truth of us. By keeping track of this conclusion we put further zigzagging wander at the curb and in Silence we transform our entire Being into the Zeroic Truth of REALISATION.

THE COGNIZANCE OF ZERO

THE COGNIZANCE OF ZERO

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

CREATION infringes all Peaceful Stillness and brings further light in the form of expansion. Be it the origination of the Big Bang, be it the coming of the Life Forms, be it the Mental, Psychical images of the emotions and in general be it the swallowing of Voidness by Matter! What are the bases that form the concrete core of Creation? We are having various Languages which stand as medium in order to carry in the form of Sounds, in the form of Books or in the form of many Memory Devices to reflect over the Created and comment upon Creating and at lost to Prophesy about the Goal of it that is Creation. As a cause of Common Consensus we developed the Languages. Does the Creator have any such? If any, What are they? Or What could it be? We see about it Precisely as we go on.

The main business of Creation is too measure the Uncreated. As the Uncreated is True, Creation takes as its Basis the Falsity in order to build its Own Version concerning Truth. Mathematical influence is essential to cultivate a True or a Pseudo System. For Truth, Zero alone is always the Number and for Untruth along with Zero in the disguised form, there are the Pseudo Numbers such as the Digits, which are the Building Blocks of all kinds of Confused Numbers. I call them as an output of Confusion just because their Foundation is at Stake to be Burnt. There is no this or that, with respect to this or that, etc., in a System, which uses only Zero. As soon as Falsity Surmounts Truth which is actually Insurmountable, mistakes are the only inheritance of the Measuring Act. So, What prompts Confusion i.e. Creation to cultivate its business? It is the Value of the Uncreated, which fascinates the Created for its Mimicking Act of Pseudoism.

To increase the Worthiness of the Uncreated is the Duty of Creation of any kind. As soon as the Worthiness is evident the Created becomes Mortal if it is associated with Life and it becomes Nothing if it is Lifeless. Mankind is a Unique Thing in the Stratum of the Created to Vibrate and Feel Truth as it has Manifested various steps to make itself attain the Truthhood. Language means Communication, so at least two things are required for a Conversation excluding Soliloquy. For inanimate things we compare Sun and Earth and their Mutual Pull is equal to Conversation. For animals it is obvious. Distinction is made when we counter Mankind as it has satiated itself with as many Lingua Franca as there is an individual in it so the Noise is more as a result of Conversations.

Creation adopts Mechanical Music to further its Enterprise. Silence is the Golden Music of the Uncreated and it need not spread over, as there is none, which escapes the Range of its Provincial Being. Its Structure is Unstructural. Consciousness is its ZEROIC ANTHEM. Fake is split into many as the False Numbers. Zero is never split as it cannot be Operated (in the False Numeric Science of Mathematics, for example, we cannot divide Zero by Zero. There Disables & Ends the Pseudo Sciences and their Various Materialistic Exploits!). It is only felt in the Form of Continued Presence both in the Uncreated and the Created. There is no Variance of Zero and the Uncreated and both are Synonymous in meaning to the all Blissful and Eternal that is The True Nature of Zero.

THE DERIVATION OF GOD

2006-03-15T13:49:00.001+05:30

THE DERIVATION OF GOD

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

WE created this world as a kind of school in order to achieve Godhood. In turn, we are at liberty to assume that God has made Himself as so and so to become as we. In terms of the relativistic apprehension, we can say that when we become God, it is to say that God has become we. Disbelieving in dualism means we have to relieve ourselves from any structure or system. We in terms of many generations in the past had developed numerous systems, built temples, synagogues, created many languages to satiate and add to our drive for the lingua franca, etc., and face inconsistency within all that we made so far and so forth. And God for His humble part had and has split Himself into various anthropomorphic gods for the sake of theism and into splendiferous Truth-forms appreciating atheism.

There is always an advanced super wisdom ahead of us to inspire, protect and puzzle us. This wisdom is the root cause of all our replicas of it in terms of say, the things that we proudly acknowledge as those that are the outcomes of our toil and turmoil. Similarly, we as a bulk are at the base of the super wisdom that God is. So it is the duty of the person who is said to be the God in order to overtake, overwhelm and fill His bases which are representatives of the gross of us. In the same manner, it is our total goal to transform ourselves and fuse with the super point of God. After God has entered us and we expanded into Himself, has the problem reached the solution? No! It has only shifted its course from we to God and vice versa!!

At this stage of our discussion, apart from we and God, we observe that there is always a Hyper Field which encompasses God as well as us. This Hyper Field stays numb to the mutual transformation of us and God. As long as there is any quantitative dimension, the play between us and God continues. To put an end to the play of us with God, both we and God should get weary of the play and stick to the ultimate source that is nothing but the “HYPERORIUM” which is coined here to literally mean the Hyper Being whose dimension is Zero.

All our activities, whatever they may be can be reduced to the phenomenon of Counting. Breathing is a kind of it and cherishing the desires is also a kind of it. Even thinking also comes under the category of Counting. Counting itself is a kind of repeating. By repeating seriously alone can we attack the most vulnerable point of us that is the Ego and cause ennui so that we abide peacefully and respond to the Hyper Consciousness. Once a God or a kind of Him in the form of us had attained or achieved this status of “HYPERORIUM”, there won’t be a superior God left over expecting us to worship Him and there won’t even be a lesser one to praise the demigods anymore! So, first quench the systems sincerely and cross the midway that is God who is used to vary accordingly and derive the constant Godhood that is the Hyper Godhood Enshrined in the “HYPERORIUM”.

THE EVER SUPREME MYSTICISM

THE EVER SUPREME MYSTICISM

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

THE ceasing of thinking power and the losing of our personal being in the Inner Fire initiates and informs the advent of the hold of Mysticism upon our Id. If we apply our intellectual faculties to understand and digest a concept then it is not an act of performing the power of Mysticism. There is enormous amount of refined and purified energy which is not spent actually but which radiates from the psyche of a Mystic. When you lose energy in the course of spending it then the energy adopted is physical. But when you are charged with the force of Mysticism then it is never spent as there is not anything like ether to transfer and there is nothing inside to possess it. The Mystified Being is the subject and the object fused together.

All creation is effected by the Mystic Urge. It is this Urge that stimulates our system to acquire perfection. By burning the candle of ego even to the end of nil residues paves the way, which enshrines the Mystic Vacuum into us. Mysticism is the climax of all kind of continuous yearnings. It is never attained in parts. It if attained is always complete. The activities of a Mystic are if observed acutely converts the observer into one such. Fake Mysticism is the duty of an ego that is split into multiple weaker points. We have to note that after we have burnt our egos there won’t be any ashes, which are the pointed selves. We must have to fully engulf ourselves into the Mystic Fire so that it won’t leave any leftover as residue.

To identify the pseudo mystics we must have to follow them closely and continuously and our following need not be in the form of directly chasing them but they could be in the form of observing their deeds also. If we get struck in a repeating loop as a result of our observances then the person whom we considered as a Mystic is at loggerheads! The beauty of Mysticism is its grace in guidance of sincerity, that is, there is not any attraction towards outside kinds but the steady pull from within.

True Mysticism discourages discontinuous reflection. And it is not possible to continuously reflect over fake mysticism. It will cause weariness to do so. It is the gift bestowed upon us in order to identify and get rid of the mock commodities. There is no easy road to Mysticism. It afflicts the person who takes his life mission seriously whatever the mission may be. May it be that of any kind of art or science or anything else but that has to be pursued continuously as well as seriously. This condition is stressed just because the Mind of us wanes when continuity is preferred and it waxes when the otherwise is chosen. In one-way or the other we must have to emerge as a Spiritualistic Zombie to achieve the Mystic influence.

What is the benefit that we get as a by-product of Mysticism? Is Mysticism necessary? We have to look at this the other way. All of us collectively or individually are moving in a zigzag course with hunger within us to satiate and curb the cravings. If there is not a thing like that of Mysticism, there is not any purpose of devising such huge projects to accomplish our dreams. Mystic pull is the greatest gravitation, which swallows the non-mystic egos. It is the lead and is the goal.

Auto-focus or Self-Enquiry is the Brahma-Asthra or the ultimate method advocated by Sri Ramana Maharshi and it is unique and is generalised. It is the most powerful tool and we must have to take it seriously and steadily follow the hints suggested for the sake of the serious aspirants of all times who are fortunate enough to approach the Mystic Enigma that is Sri Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi who still reverberate with His almighty presence in our Hearts as the Self itself—the Mystic Ever Supreme!

THE GENERALISING SPIRIT

2006-03-15T13:47:00.001+05:30

THE GENERALISING SPIRIT

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

TRUTH in all its manifestations is generalised. In order that a thing to possess this ability of being generalised it must be sublime, pure, time freezing, i.e., it can surpass time, inert, non-contradictive and there are a lot more to go on saying to test its Generality. In a world full of propositions having subject-predicate structure, we are at a lack to cite as example anything that is generalised. But a thing claiming that it is generalised must prove its existence in the relativistic phenomena. Alas! We conclude that nothing is generalised!! If we see the last sentence deeply we catch the thing so far escaped from our attention that “Nothing” is the thing, which obeys our premises of generalisation.

“Nothing” in the literature of Mathematics is named as “Zero”. It is so fundamental that it need not demand for a deep understanding. We neglected to define “Zero” just because we thought it so simple in order to deserve any definition. All the sciences that we created so far were so created in order to overcome the cosmic emptiness, which slaughter us steadily in association with the Time immemorial. But our capacity did not seem to get tired and we transfer this attitude to our succeeding generations. And the capacity we said last is the Generalising attitude of the Spirit of us, which is inside us, out of us and thus ubiquitous!

Relativity can lead us away from our consciousness and the only use we credit from it is to make ourselves excited in an acute level. By observing the outside world, which is transient, we are at loose ends to come to a conclusion. The bulk of intellectual rubbish that we have accumulated at our possession keep its pace of growing hither and thither and we must try to know at least now that anything that is supposed to grow must have inconsistency within it and to overcome it, it expands by growing!

By trusting outside we try to set a mock world in movement. In order to do this we have to rely upon non-consciousness. The source of support to the non-conscious entities comes from the consciousness itself. If the Theory of Numbers has got any benefit of pursuing it, it is only that it has to warn us by informing that we are at so and so paces away from our inert inner self which I name as Zero. We cannot be away from our self because it is always with us by being within us and also without us. If we accept a challenge of showing a Zero-less place, first of all, the duel itself is ambiguous. After that we have to fill the Void to procure claims for our challenge thus accepted. Without confirming certainty and validity of our task of search for a Zero-less place, we try to recreate a pseudo structure with the help of the pseudo-numbers (the non-zero numbers), and with the operations that will not affect Zero and if affected we call them undefined. According to our individual seriousness about the task mentioned above, we arrive at our respective results. Due to the bias and bifurcation of our various levels in the end, we at last drop our getting rid of Zero and realise ourselves! At the expense of or wasting of energies we claim our inner nature and potential peace, which is ever glowing and omnipresent as Zero.

The easiest way to reduce ourselves to Zero and remain as Zero is to reduce ourselves initially to a point which is general enough to identify the totality of us into our primitive essence and wait for the Divine Miraculous Blessing steadfastly to takeover the pointed self of us and dissolve in the Primordial Being that is the ZEROID which is the abode of the Godly Zero—THE SPIRIT OF GENERALISATION!

THE LAYERS OF TIME

THE LAYERS OF TIME

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

LIFE, Time and Work are proportional entities. A model cannot free itself from the clutches of these trios. If in one way or the other a body possess at least one of the quality out of these three, then we can adjudge that it also possess the rest. Life is a quality of maintaining a built-in clock, which beats in unison with the collective clock that is the universal clock. But it never matters whether to have Life a body should regulate the above said simple clock or the built-in clock as part of its stand. So the distinction between those which have simple clocks and those which do not have one is this: - That is those which have a Subject must surely have a unique simple clock. But those which do not have a subject must adopt the collective clock as its one and respond to the collective Subject as its own.

In order that a Subject to reside in a body, it must have separated itself from the collective Subject earlier. As soon as a sub-universal comes out of the universal the body is acquired by it by default as a kind of shelling the Subject thus graced from the highest layer. Higher is the layer when the body is occupied by the Subject and similarly high is the layer when the body is free of the residing Subject. Mere bodies are the energies subjected to the Universal-Subject’s roasting. When the process of roasting nears subtlety, a Subject or Spirit is enshrined in the body and made to recreate or imitate the Supreme Spirit that is nothing but the Universal Spirit.

As a result of the purification of the body, it is blessed with a Spirit or Subject and in turn as a result of the purification of the deviated Subject it is consumed completely by the Supreme Spirit along with its abode, i.e., the body. At one point this phenomenon of the Universal can be understated as eating one’s own system to balance one’s hunger.

At the other point, what prompts the concatenated Spirits to detach themselves from their Universal Communion? This brings us to understand about the concept of Time. It is a course of doing Work but the Time of the absolute follows certain schema to adopt its movements from microcosm to macrocosm and at the end to Suprocosm. A Suprocosm is but a multitude of various layers of Time in its dominion. A layer of Time is nothing but the body and the separated Spirit from the Universal encapsulated together. Time provides numerous ways to Work and working is something that narrates the process of refinement.

We work to glow like the diamonds and at the conclusion to remain as the Stars. The Stars that we see around are multifarious embodiments of splendid works of our stream of lives. This stream connects one by one the widespread droplets in the Universe in the form of individual works and keeps on its course of flowing towards the Universal Spirit. We Work in the course of Time and in the course of Life to amalgamate ourselves with the Spirit-Stream and in order to ever remain in the Universal Spirit we must identify our gross consciousness always with the tight bond of un-arising Subjects with the Supreme Spirit!

THE AUTHOR OF FATE

2006-03-15T13:45:00.001+05:30

THE AUTHOR OF FATE

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

HUMAN LIFE in particular and Life in general is restricted by Time. All that exists is subjected to inexistence. All that lives is subjected to growth, decay and death. It is, but the speculations or predictions of these phenomena that really matters us to justify their validity now. Life springs from the hands of death to write its own destiny. If we look aptly this passage with acuteness, then we will be definitely in good terms with what we shall mean by the word Fate.

Death chokes in order to initiate Life. Fate is what is called the pre-registry or the almanac of the proceedings of the lively matter that disturb the womb. It is said that in order to take a birth one should have committed at least a sin. It is a necessary condition for a soul to enter and acquire a body. But all these kind of sayings are mere speculations. They are silly words without any seriousness. Life is trapped first by the soul’s gravity that is the womb once again and gets ejected after nourishment into an offspring as a result of successfully completing its concourse to form into an issue and so on. Indirectly we the soul-dwellers are influencing an unknown kind—the God perhaps who reaps out of our life and work done here in this mortal material world! At one stage we speak of death and at a later stage we compulsorily speak of immortality. In between these two extremes we come across the subjects which deal with the theories and practises of Fate—the so called Astrology or Horoscopy or Palmistry, etc.

Those who prefer very much to these speculative kinds surely do not know the essence of their true being as much as they know about the Fate of mankind as a whole! We cultivated these studies such as Astrology, Palmistry, etc., to the extent of satisfying the unfulfilled lust or desires of ourselves. In actuality, all the sciences originated only to conquer the monarchy of the Spirit. In all our efforts, we entertain less and suffer most by not seriously considering and not realising this truth respectively. Our conquest of death is that we say to it when we face it, “You kill me, oh, death! But not my seed!!”

Great people grow panicky to imagine themselves silently sleeping in their tombs one day! To facilitate their pseudo-immortality, they appreciate such theories called past life or post life that too in the form of good memories! There is no Fate and there is no Fateology just because the person who pretends to be its Author turns out to be a Fairy!

Fate is possible only when it is or its premises are limited. The word Fate simply signifies and praises the glory of the concept of limits, or limitednesses. So, a person should be unlimited to encompass limitedness. This requires the presence of a being who is infinite enough to author the finite. We are being converted from finitesimal (finitely small) to infinitesimal (infinitely small) all the time just because it is the only way that life course adopts, for it achieves infinitude by becoming infinitesimal from finitude as nothing is infinite. So by becoming nothing, we become infinite and by becoming something we become finite and limited. Infinity is the author of the finite as immortality surpasses mortality. Fate is only for the mortals and as soon as we transform our entire being into infinity, if dims the eyes of Fate to see us properly. As a result we observe it perfectly and determine its Fate!

THE IRREFERENTIALITY OF ZERO

2006-03-15T13:44:00.001+05:30

THE IRREFERENTIALITY OF ZERO

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

THERE is less Epistemology as to the Entelechy of Zero. No Science of present education treats the concept of Zero so accurately that it is time now to turn to it afresh with keen interest or otherwise Mankind’s years of perseverance in order to achieve the Ultimatum will not be blessed with its due credit. Mathematics, which uses Zero, the Number so often in its equations and inequations , etc., never assures us with an appropriate definition or meaning as to what Zero is. The malady that we know whatever without understanding the most essential that is Zero will always remind us to the pitfalls of foundationless erections.

Zero is the confocal point of study on which the entire GODDICS—do not want to prefix ‘Science of’ to the word said just now to separate its uniqueness from others, is based. If we try to know about Zero, its nature, its presence, its feeling, its widespreadness, so on at the end after graduating, we will become God. What is mind to the Sciences is here in this case what is the Super-mind to the study of Zero. Super-mind is the mind devoid of our consciousness. That is, the mind which is so pure and so crystal that it would not be subject to further confusion and contamination, which is the mind of perfect steadiness. Our ancient Sages were expertised profoundly themselves in mastering Zero and its effect upon their conscience. The impossibility of fixing Zero—the subject within certain frames or the irreferenceability of it in terms of whatever we had learnt previously through the out focussed mind is the only reason why we give less preference to the study of Zero.

This is the study enriched very much by Mysticism. It has its own script in the Supra-mental field. Zero controls its projection, i.e. the Universe, as an infant by its Parent. It is this Zero that turns the Stars into the Supernovae and then to the Black Holes culminating again into Stars and their Siblings. The simultaneous Singularity as well as Multiplicity of Zero obstructs bifurcation and the type of which the old mind is trained to grasp facts. In order to admit not the incapability of the ordinary mind, we named this Phenomenon as Maya, i.e. what is called as Axioms in Mathematics.

Once we immersed ourselves into the internal ocean of one-many or many-one Zero, our plural self converge into Nothingness as a result of this dipping. At this juncture we loose the reference, which guided so long our enterprise as Self just because of the Merger into Zero. To embody this Characterism we call it the Communion with God at the Primary stage. In the Secondary stage we term it as the Union of the minds. In the Tertiary stage we would call it as the touch of the senses. If we extend this process further, then we will reach Cataclysmically to our present state.

Though Mathematics is said to deal with the Non-Physical Entities at the outset, a deep understanding might reveal that it is only dealing itself with what is known as the Physical Abstractions. First of all, Geometry is an Abstraction of the Physical World. We employ Numbers in order to comprehend the Geometrical Truths and the rest in the Mathematical Sciences. But this pattern if reversed after we rejected all Numbers except Zero forms the fundamental essence for the study of ZEROICS.

In conclusion, all the colossal of Scientific Knowledge that we acquired so far contains vast amount of References and Relativities. If we would be Blessed scrupulously to relegate all these along with the Non-Zero Numbers, i.e. the Pseudo Numbers, we would understand to the best of what is called as the Absolute Zero and its Splendiferous Importance.

TRUE RESEARCH

2006-03-15T13:42:00.001+05:30

TRUE RESEARCH
OR
TRUTH AND RESEARCH

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

ATTAINING the knowledge of TRUTH is the ultimate goal of any kind of Research activity in terms of the subject that we have under taken as the path of our study. The beauty and glory that the Researcher feels while he approach the result as core conclusion of his potent penance is that instead of finding the Truth as part of acquaintance with it he himself becomes it. This is the True award of his sustained self poise towards the task he has set forth against Time immemorial to place himself at the steadfast grip of the Truth-God.

The present state of the world is an out come of many more brilliant minds that studied it and sculpted it to the current form. World yields as meaning it many such implications as the world of things both physical as well as non-physical. Time spent in Research activity is always related to one’s creative period of life if advocated sharply and properly. Otherwise with less interest leads to cloudy finalism culminating into viciousness. Research is not a play of hide and seeks, lost and found when considered in this order. Actually it sounds appropriate if we reverse them and understand in this way:- Seek and hide implies after you sought Truth your untruth hides away. Similarly for found and lost that after you found it that you become it so that your old get up is lost. After attaining Truth-hood by means of good and disciplined Research, the person’s alter ego experiences ripeness in every walk of life. We are concerning ourselves not with the traditional meaning that the word Research implies. Every Research if advocated seriously and correctly end up in the common concept known only as Truth—the reverberating inner light ever shining and pure! If we give a flow of continuity to whatever we do, it is nothing but Research. If continuity progresses without our interference it is the first symptom of our conversion into Truth, of becoming it and at last of being it when that becoming purifies and perfects the pointed self of us.

In the way ahead of Truth we might encounter definitely with certain mockeries of Truth. These are what are known as the useless knowledge. We perfect our Research by erring. Useless knowledge accumulates as a result of these errors. The process of unfolding the bundle which shelters the Truth is named as Research.

As we proceed with the Research for Truth, the Mind’s Eye is activated in the midway and this assures that our work is in its way to reach the Truth swiftly and correctly. Actually Mind’s Eye, Mind’s Ear, etc., are collectively called as the unifying all-powerful Sixth Sense. When evoked, the Sixth Sense can create a world, a sun, a moon and so on with its very nature of vast capacity. What we see in this external world is the spontaneous work of the Sixth Senses of all of us considered as a whole. Research is a wonderful method to investigate Truth and arrive at the conclusion that Truth is not Two but also not One and is Zero. Fusing Right with Wrong and striking a balance between them after cancellation of the vices with their respective goodness raise us to the level of Supreme Consciousness, which is the abode of the Absolute Truth.

Continuous reflection to the Truth of our mind is the best training so as to adopt us to the ups and downs of the Research tenure. Our psyche becomes distilled in course of time by the exercise narrated earlier to fall prey to Truth. After this divine consummation, Truth takes charge of our entire hold and uses us as its agent to reset the chaotic rigmarole. As the Supreme Truth thereafter acquires our control after the Ego is burnt, we do our work, if there is anything left in our account as per the Providence’s decree, like a somnambulist we spend time without any attachment to the duties we perform. After succeeding in the mission of research to attain Truth, our state of temperament is nothing but equal to that of the LIBERATED-LIVING i.e. the JEEVANMUKTHA.

DESCARTES AND RAMANA

2006-03-15T13:40:00.011+05:30

DESCARTES AND RAMANA
[A COMPARATIVE STUDY]
BY
S. MAHESHKUMAR

I
René Descartes (1596-1650)

THE very word Philosophy has got for its definition a cornucopia of suggestions both individually as well as collectively. It is very hard to comprehend Truth so long as it stands as a generalised entity. As a result it becomes easier to speculate on the ground of every man’s personal experience. But we call a person by the word Philosopher only when his ideas are influential in the sense that they help us to understand things better than earlier. Starting with René Descartes, the most influential founder of Modern Philosophy of Western Thought, we pave our way to Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi, the final solution to the intersecting crux of all kinds of divergences.

René Descartes (1596-1650) was France’s contribution to the Mathematical Trinity who were chiefly responsible for what the Science of Mathematics appears as it is now. The others were Sir Isaac Newton from England and Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz from Germany.

Descartes inherited his father’s wealth and his mother’s delicate constitution. His mother breathed her last when Descartes breathed for his life first. At the age of eight he was admitted to the Jesuit school at La Fleche, founded by Henry IV for the sons of gentlemen, where he undertook in addition to studies, discipline, manners, and social polish. He enjoyed certain exceptions and favours due to his poor health. Out of these the permission to lie abed in the mornings, which he maintained as a life long habit.

After eight years of schooling and a dull year in the country, he was left alone in Paris by his father with huge sums of money and a valet to look after him. There he found life boring and had developed detachment towards mundane things, increased love of solitude and retirement. In 1617, he enlisted in the Dutch Army. As Holland was enjoying independence from Spain then, it allowed Descartes to spend time in undisturbed meditation for a couple of years. During this period, he composed a treatise on Music, invented the Analytical Geometry by applying Algebra to Geometry and wrote his Pensées. At the broke of the thirty years war, Descartes led himself to enlist in the Bavarian Army in 1619. It was here in Bavaria during the winter of 1619-1620, that he had the experience of Constant Trance for a day at end of which he perceived half of his entire Philosophy.

After some more enlisting in various armies, at last, Descartes settled in Holland (1629-1649) for twenty years except for few brief visits to France and one to England, all on business purposes. During this period, he produced works such as ‘Rules for the direction of the mind’, ‘Discourse on Method’, ‘Meditations’ and a work on the ‘World’, which he withdrew on hearing the condemnation of Galileo. At this juncture he had a private love affair through which he had a daughter. But he never married. His daughter died at the tender age of five, which caused him the most unbearable sorrow in his entire life.

Descartes had a wide range of admirers. Two of them deserve special mention. One among them was Princess Elizabeth of Bohemia. Later he dedicated his ‘Principles’ to her. The other was the very intelligent Queen Christina of Sweden who decided to learn Descartes’ Philosophy from him directly for fun! She ordered him to take lessons for her daily at 5 O’clock in the mornings which made Descartes to brake his life long habit of getting late from bed in the mornings suddenly! The winter was very severe. He developed Pneumonia and died after ten days of illness on 11th February 1650. This was one of the greatest loses to the academic world and Queen Christina was chiefly responsible for Adam-teasing Descartes to Death.

II
Sri Ramana Maharshi (1879-1950)

Sri Ramana Maharshi (1879-1950) preached through silence. He was born on 30th December 1879, on the sacred day for the Hindus, the Arudhra Darshanam, at Thiruchuzhi (meaning ‘revered zero’ in Tamil), in Tamilnadu, South India. Ever since he was a boy, he was enquiring about the concept of death. This enquiry was increased to larger proportions when his father Sundaram Iyer, a practising advocate, died after illness. Young ‘Venkataraman’, as Ramana’s parents christened him, asked the nearby mourners at his father’s mortal remains, “Why were they weeping for?” They provided him with a diluted reply by saying that his father had passed away. “If your father is living, he would have certainly found you amidst this huge crowd and would have talked to you!”—somebody in the gathering tried to clarify young Ramana.

From that day onwards, young Ramana was always preoccupied with serious enquiry of death and its consequences. During the July of 1896, while he was alone in a room at Madurai, he encountered the live experience of his own death: “After I was dead, well this body will be carried away to the burial ground and then it will be put down to flames. By the death, followed subsequently by its (the body’s) cremation, am I really wiped out? No! So, I am That I am!!” This was the gist of what Sri Ramana Maharshi had commented upon his boyhood death experience afterwards. Later he came to Thiruvannamalai, ever to stay there, to lead a life of detachment, completely absorbed in the Holy Beacon, Arunachala—the abode of Lord Siva!

III
The Study in Comparison

The Philosophy, which Descartes had left us, was nicely termed as Cartesianism. It grounds itself chiefly upon two: Scholastic Logic and Metaphysics constitute together in one side and Mathematics at the other. Descartes believed in the principle of Inner Certitude. He reinforced Scholasticism with the precision of Mathematical Science. He confined his thinking to certainty possible of attainment. His maxim was to endeavour always to conquer himself rather than fortune, and change his desires rather than the order of the world. Sri Ramana also advocated this. The Cartesian doubt on which Descartes rests his entire Philosophy can be achieved as follows: Begin by doubting everything that can be doubted. All our experiences of the external world, of our own body, of our life, etc., may be dream and illusion. But in anyway, the dream is beyond all possibility of doubt. We are dreaming, we are experiencing and we are thinking. That is, I am thinking when considered in terms of the personal pronoun. Therefore, at least, I exist. Cogito, Ergo Sum:- “I think, therefore I am.” This method of Descartes validates the possible existence of “I” whereas Sri Ramana Maharshi teaches us to ask “Who this I is?” i.e. the famous “Who am I?”

While Descartes’ method assures us the existence of “I”, Sri Bhagavan Ramana asks us to concentrate upon this “I” and by thus enquiring in introspection, the enquirer will lose himself in the “SELF” and remain ever radiating as the “PURE ATMAN.”

THE IMPOTENCE OF LANGUAGE

THE IMPOTENCE OF LANGUAGE

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

THE mode of communication becomes easy when we produce Sound so that our feelings get distributed to others. Primitive History of Mankind reveals that Sound was the Main Method by which the Cave Man transferred his intentions. Sound can be produced in a couple of ways one inherent to living organisms and the other by the means associated with the rest. Speech came by the act of Crying. Observation of similarity in the various Sounds produced as a result of Crying yielded to mark it in Memory and preserve in order to be used next time. As the difficulty rose when it became numerous to test the forgetfulness of the Mind the necessity of representation that too in Notated Form was started. So came the Language and the Theory of it namely Grammar.

Meditation is stopping Sound in Thinking. Most of our Thinking Process is governed by Language. Thinking without Language is the Penultimate State that Wise Minds Aspire. Language is the Movement of Thinking. In order to glorify Stillness an element of flaw arose. The inability to express certain feelings in terms of Language curbed the Mind to be Still. The fall of any Language is rooted with its vast expansion and by its salient features emerge a new one without realising the fate of its Predecessor. Greek and Latin in the West and Sanskrit in the East are typical as examples for the Phenomenon just mentioned earlier.

If we fix a System first and play within the fences then comes time to break it later by new experiences from outside although not inside. This is explained when we look into the Concept of Monotony. As soon as we fix the System it causes the Activities within it to be Monotonous. Due to Finitude as a result Cycle begins. On seeing this kind of repeating, the Mind distributes its provinces Infinitely and reduces into Nothing. This is the Style of Nature to demote Sound, Notation and the Movement of Thinking. When the degree of motion is Zero, then you are fixed to a place physically. When the degree of Physics of Thought is Zero, i.e. in a state of flux less Thinking, I take the liberty to name it as “…….”. The practice of naming “Nothing” as “Something” is the Chief Root Cause of all Languages and their Metamorphoses giving rise to expansion.

Without Language how can we exist? All Creation Originated without any Language. Most of the Matured Spirits ban the use of Language. All of the lesser ones such as animals and the like Life Forms are unable to make use of Languages. They live their Life without Record of any manner. But it is the invention of the Mediocrity that gave birth to Language. The business of Language is to lead us from ‘From’ to ‘From’. Every Language is a Tautology. To Preach without Language is Unthinking. Language cannot Express anything that is Unthinkable (=Thinking cannot Think/Express anything that is Unthinkable). The only use of it is obtained to the utmost when we disuse it.

Now on we identify Language with Thinking. Can we exist without Thinking? Yes. It is possible only when we remain as Energies. That is when we stop giving Form to Energy we exist as Energy. So Body is the Thinking of Energy. Body has got Individuality whereas Energy is the Base of it without any Individuality. The Law of Conservation of Energy can be used to formulate its equivalent for Thinking, i.e. The Law of Deconservation/Variance of Thinking. It is stated as, viz., “Thinking can either be Generated or Degenerated; It starts from Nothing to Something when Generated and the opposite when Degenerated.” The Process of Generation can be understood when we consider the Emergence of Numbers from Zero. The application of Arithmetic to the Axiomatic Numbers yields the Others. But we concern not with the Pseudo Numbers, for example, to get 2 add 1 to 1. Thinking is False Numeric whereas Energy is True Numeric, i.e. ZEROIC. Energy without Thinking is Zero without Numbers and Thinking without Energy is Numbers without Zero. The Former is possible unlike the Latter. Zero is the Base of Every Number. Likewise Energy is the Base for Thinking. Generation originates when we associate the Baseness to Zero for its own Support. That is, we Energies Mingle with the Bodies as a kind of Clothing the Neutral Energy. Nature’s Thinking is Life and the Gross behind it, which is similar to our Language as Mortal.

If we Refine Energy further we end up with Super-Energy. The Refining is attained by Thinking, i.e. Languaging. It is best to stay as Energy without Thinking that is nothing but NIRVANA.

THE MIND’S EYE

THE MIND’S EYE

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

THE significance of our perceptive abilities is very worthy of notice and they are very delicately poised in such a way that they constitute a unique balance with each other in the Body-Mind composition. Our senses, five in number are vital for our enterprise here with the acquiring of materialistic pleasures as well as pains. Our concern in this essay is associated with the Eye of the Mind, which is usually referred to as the Third Eye or the Sixth Sense.

Due to sheer ignorance of it we often withheld one of our true power of the Will & Mind that is the Mind’s Eye. It calls for deep concentration into the ocean of one’s inner space of the Psyche. All the fairies of discoveries & inventions were outcomes of this Third Eye’s working. It is the power, which is often sheltering within it an abundant resource of the techniques of converging or focusing our attention into a point. The greatest scientist and philosopher, Sir Isaac Newton was once asked how he made such discoveries to which he replied, “By always thinking about them.” This reveals Newton’s sustained concentration and ability to use the Mind’s Eye. The same question was also asked to the Prince of Mathematicians, Carl Friedrich Gauss, and he was said to have replied with profound modesty, “If others would but reflect on Mathematical Truths as deeply and as continuously as I have, they would make my discoveries.” Like Newton, Gauss was also a master of using the Mind’s Eye for creative work.

The universe is an expansion of our inner pointed self. This self is unidimensional so as to make itself common with the other manifolds. With the help of the Third Eye we can indulge ourselves into the intricate details of a problem. For persons working with advanced concepts in all walks of study, there are one and many notions, which can be only pierced through this ‘Eye’. That is with this Eye which is the Eye of the Eye itself we are able to perceive & admire many abstract ideas & notions. To achieve perfection in Yoga, Meditation, etc., that is, in order to make our efforts a complete whole we must have to make use of this Eye & with its help only we have to see the so called Truth for ourselves.

As we use the converging lens in order to focus the rays of Sun light on a paper to see the paper catches fire, likewise so is the case when we focus the light of Gnana or Wisdom inwards so that the ego gets burned and as a result glows the ever shining light of the Athma. This is the ultimate benefit of the Third Eye or the Mind’s Eye.

Now let us draw the ablest conclusion using this ‘Eye’ regarding itself and the Mind. The Mind is covered by clouds of ego, all semi & full thoughts along with the bundle of memory. Using the principle of Nethi or Negation, if we negate or dismiss all the non-personal i.e. the pseudo-self, we will end up with the omnipresent Jyothi, which is nothing but ‘I’ the Identity. It is this ‘I’, which Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi refers to in verse no.15 of his “The Bridal Garland of Letters” that he had composed in praise of Lord Sri Arunachaleswara Swamy in Tamil entitled, “Sri Arunachala Aksharamanamalai”, seeking for the Divine Everlasting Communion with Arunachala, the manifestation of Lord Siva.

Verse No.15 of The Bridal Garland of Letters:

Eye of the eye you are!
Who can see you who sees
Eyelessly? O see me,
Arunachala!

So the ‘Eye’ we have been so far talking about is nothing but ‘I’, which is the Self of the Mind. As a result we conclude that the Eye of the Mind is the Self of the Mind itself, which is the Sixth Sense. As we shut the Body’s Eyes, the Mind’s eye begins to see. God, the Supreme is visible only with the help of this ‘Eye’. Let us bow & pay our due respects to this Third Eye, which is enshrined in the forehead of Lord Maheshwara.

THE INVALIDITY OF IMMORTALITY

THE INVALIDITY OF IMMORTALITY

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

THE sole aim of life is to safeguard the past rudiments and lessons that we learn as a by-product of our living. We are guarding our species from extinction by reproducing, so that along with its sustenance we protect our cherished views engraved in the Vedas from the peril of discontinuity in lineage otherwise we have to re-conceive it; although the Vedic Mantras, the sacred sounds, reverberate unconditionally to the capable souls amongst us who are blessed with the divine ear of Musicism! There is creation everywhere followed by rapid growth culminating into being-less-ness. There are always rediscoveries which come out of the phenomena of repetition. These are the steady courses of Nature. Our part in this game is to witness and to be a victim of Fate—the major part being cherishing the Electrix of the essence of our Spirit.

The beauty of Nature is its vast expansion from voidness into being but I ascertain this course of it as projections of the cosmic emptiness and our mutual consciousness in order to merge and mix. During the time of Pralaya or total-destruction, there would be Noah’s Ark or something of its kind in order to secure and protect the fundamental flora and fauna so that life-forms get preserved for further expansion and to start afresh. We feel similarity in every walk of our lives. It is this concept which keeps us going hoping clairvoyance of the future from comparing with the past deeds of us. All our activities in their essence are one and the same as our parents’ and there would not be any variation just because our work here is to preserve, sustain and transfer the Glorious Immortal Divinity and this is evident from the periodicity of Time. We achieve Immortality not by securing it individually or uniquely but by replication of the Divine Truth.

Radio-carbon dating reveals the age of the things of distant past. Also we can infer that there were long gaps in Time when the Earth had no life-forms as the other planets are now. Since Time is a cycle we can expect the same in the future also. After mass destruction, the globe will reduce to a dummy grave-yard so that our corpses get decomposed and stay cooled and buried deep into the abyss preparing fuel and other associated derivatives for the future dwellers’ use. Here is where the repetition concept comes into play its pivotal role. As long as there is Time, this process never ends up. If a person learns these by his stupendous efforts, then what would be his next course of action? Or what is the point in cultivating life business further? After a person acquiring such Supreme Wisdom his activities are not his as he is God-intoxicated and his total movement is the turning of God Himself as he has become a Jeevanmukta i.e. a Liberated-living!

The never ending story clutches us for eternal bliss. We are given chances to merge ourselves with our True Self, relieve from doing wrong to Self-realisation. Committing anything composed of good and evil fluctuates over our conscience and by seriously doing thus makes our ego perspire and finally dissolve and loose its hold in the holy egoistic pyre. This is the wonder worthy of devoting all our generations in preservation of it from the risk of forgetting. As long as there is this concept, our simple part of living it in one way or the other is rewarded by salutations of our future sons & daughters. It is like respecting the previous thought which brought us to the present.

All our idiosyncrasies regarding the domestic gods tempt us to become like one. But true worship of a god is to transform ourselves into the concept behind him and even the gods won’t achieve Immortality lest they do attain it only by being the concept itself. The Sun, the Earth, the Moon, the Stars, so on are entities of identifiable conceptions. We have to manifest like one of the concept of Truth so as to stay fixed or otherwise we collapse and expand and give rise to the gorgeous trappings of the vicious Time. So, by remaining as a concept we achieve Immortality; otherwise it is impossible and Immortality is considered as mere imperfection.

IN DEFENCE OF KICK

IN DEFENCE OF KICK

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

IN all goodness, the word kick would rather mean an under-estimated jargon. Our pleasures, pains, achievements, glories, etc., reflect a count of kick over our psyche. In every walk of our life, we work hard with the hope of the kick of pleasure. If there is no creation with kick, even the creator ought to have blamed unscrupulously.

The word in suggestion has got its business with the earthlings, i.e., the life forms with souls. It does not have any relation as far as dead matter is concerned. To achieve a task, a dote of kick is used as a buffer in such a way that we could in the course of time gradually develop easiness to place ourselves into the grip of victory. Consider the extreme cases: - Living with no pleasure or pain that is without kick would result in the termination of the species itself. If the amount of pleasure or pain that were with immense of excessive kick thanks to cocaine, morphine, opium or any other stimulant would result in the demise of the subject in question. So, we must have to accustom ourselves with a balanced diet of kick to further our endeavour. There are a lot of things that will help us to carry our enterprise with potent kick in its inherent nature. All one has to do is to have a clever mind to conceive it in healthier proportions. Say Music for example would lead to Moksha if advocated correctly. In every walk of our life, we used to dream of a distant pleasure that is synonymous with kick, even a thought of it would boost our arteries to pump blood in order to adopt ourselves to stress and strain!

In all our past, we were trying to achieve the elixir of ectoplasm that identifies itself with the outcome of the kundalini yoga, which gives always a glorified kick in communion with God the Supreme. There ends the crisis of earthlings! All pavements lead to the same goal that is liberation. In this world full of unknown forces we struggle hard to get an unceasing pleasure. But the strives of us cause in little of it that too in bits of measure as given in ounces by God. Even a saint who had renounced all the mundane entities would aspire for the pleasure of communion with God. “A thing of beauty is a joy for ever” is the dictum of Keats in favour of the so-called kick. Here joy is an output of the kick that we used to get whenever our perception encounters with things of beauty.

Of all that gives us pleasure which is the supreme? It is nothing but the Intellect that understands the abstract entity that is God or Truth through our ceaseless work. Kicks act as the steps of the ladder leading to God. Intellectually it can be said about the merger of ourselves with Truth as the collision of two points. Here the points are compared with our egos. The contact would fuse the ego as it dashes with the point of Truth. There would not be any base element left after the collision with Truth. This is called as Satchitanananda, i.e., Being-Consciousness-Bliss.

AN INQUIRY INTO THE CRISIS OF SEX

2006-03-15T13:03:00.001+05:30

AN INQUIRY INTO THE CRISIS OF SEX
OR
THE SEXUALITY OF MAN

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

SEX has become the chief pleasure-giver in this modern world. It transcends the barriers of Time---the Psychological delusion! It relieves loneliness. Although the cosmic loneliness slaughter us constantly, Sex makes us forget sufferings. The pleasure from Sex is Psychological. It resorts our consciousness to relax from lassitude. Five senses play a vital role in promoting the Sexual affairs. To do this job, they first condition or train themselves and adopt some concepts as granted and revolve in a cycle of likes and dislikes.

Primitive man copulated without any craze in his act. But we are very crazy now as regards this matter of Sex. We made it divine, extra-ordinary and confused at last by asserting vulgarisation and vagueness and we too added rigour to Sex. Our civilisation has its basis on Sex. It has been a gradual course all the time. Its chief aim has been to cultivate the species. To promote the species steadily, it is necessary to see whether there is any use in doing so. The quest has concluded with the answer that there is an ecstatic pleasure in Sex which is incomparable to any other things like eating, seeing, talking, hearing and touching considering each one separately or not all of them at a time. Sexual element comprises all the senses or sense in general and it stimulates our thoughts according to experience and thus an urge has been initiated.

Since we are civilised according to the sexual set-up, we divided men and women into various relationships. Father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, uncle, grandfather and grandmother, friend, stranger, neighbour, teacher and our conditioning prohibit us to ignore incestuous relationships. Men are allowed or accustomed to engage themselves by abandoning close relationships or to a girl with higher age the reason being traditional.

Every community has its own setbacks. Here in Sex also there is violation of rules. Thus there is prostitution and the rest of it. The two main categories in Sex at present practised in the world are the Eastern & the Western. The former is more modest than the latter. Western culture permits free love. Thus we see, due to the domination of materialism in the West, Man has become accustomed to lead a comfortable life mingled with free sex. People even tend to be Sexual Radicals: the Western Society explores and evolves Sex to the level of subscribing to Homosexual / Lesbian exploitations. This contradicted the Nature’s concourse and brought further the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). AIDS---the Satan’s one more boon to mankind which has the typicality of afflicting humans only had began to spread its deadly leaps hither and thither originating from the blunderous experiments of free love and its subsequent manifestations to contaminate the world has proved the failure of free love. As regards the East, its culture is pre-planned to take this matter of Sex politely (Western Sexual Globalisation will fail due to its inherent confusions) and restrict them to be radicals. Irrespective of the Western influence in the East, the orthodox ways of the East has nurtured its people with good norms as far as the Sexual Ethics is concerned. Thus, particularly in the East we see the bondage: Father, Mother - Son, Daughter, etc. We can deduce that the divorce cases are greater in the West than in the East. In the present world scenario of the transfusion of Western & Eastern ways of Sex, let us hope that mankind will not be descended to the level of subscribing to Sexual Barbarism.

Bhagvan Rajneesh said that if one controls the sexual drive, as the time goes by, one day the sexual desire blasts like a volcano! It is true because the curiosity cannot be controlled. But we are curious to Sex because of the craziness. This craziness is due to the exploitations of films, magazines and other entertainment medias. People are trained to change their mould-ups instantaneously like scapegoats as the trend in these medias alter its conceptions from time to time.

Up to now we have discussed Sex in a common way. We now argue whether the pleasure derived as an out put of the sexual act is generalised or not. We have already seen that the sexual pleasure is due to the psychological alterations of the dual---like & dislike which stimulates the nervous system and keeps it in an induced state momentarily. Everyone has to cross this greatest hurdle in life. Most of the people never restrict their sexual behaviour, like savage beasts they think about Sex, confuse their self and live a ruthless life.

Men are by Nature’s decree very sensitive and they suffer very much during their adolescence. What is the element that attracts men towards their lasses? Is it the vacuum in their minds that crept men in the direction of women? Simply not! We are making a mockery of what Sex should be! We get an exaggerated version of beauty in Sex. No doubt, this practise is nothing but carrying out certain punishment imposed by Nature upon us. That is, giving a helping hand in the process of reproduction.

Actually the concept of beauty is a hypothesis. It is subjected to modification. Change in the sense that there is not anything beauty at all except one’s inner self but we misinterpret newness to beauty. Newly married couples are a little more excited to show & know about Sex. As it becomes a routine, slowly the newness presupposed fades away and the familiarity leaves a void in both the couple. The curious one thinks that this is due to the ugliness in the other. But Lord has His own way of tackling this situation. There will be fertilisation and offspring. Kids emerge to compensate the emptiness stated above and help the couple to reunite. Sex is a slow process. Aging reveals the inability and lack of interest in the aesthetic drive. One must have shortened the practise of Sex gradually at first and completely as the time goes by, so that he / she can concentrate upon his / her life’s work, ambition or any other sacred goal.

Marriage is an essential procedure for Sex. Even it is a way of life. Chiefly it relieves loneliness. If you have the feeling of loneliness, then marriage compensates your problem. But it puts in your hand a permanent bondage and there is not a time left out for you to concentrate on the cosmic question. It presents a routine way to lead life. Major events are programmed in that case. If you are in an unavoidable state either to accept or to refuse any creative study, you just adopt what others, the normal neighbours do. Creative studies require intensive attention & concentration. To facilitate your work, you must develop craziness in a direction along in which case there is no distraction towards sexual questions.

BRAHMACHARYA is nothing but transferring the sexual energy into creative work. Work is important only with the meaning that if we do our duty with non-distracted attention, then we will get peace of mind resulting in happiness. Since Sex is a confusion, it leads us nowhere! But work is not so and it leads us to salvation!! Sexual practises develop lust which is a corruption of thought. That is, it needs to be cared & catered to always and there is no time to carry out acts of importance. To every great soul of past, present or of anytime with a career of everlasting success, bliss and peace, we can easily observe that enough work with disciplined sexuality or honest sexual practise or earnest sexual conduct is the secret of his or her REAL GREATNESS AND REALISED GENIUS.

THE NATURE OF WORK

2006-03-14T15:03:00.011+05:30

THE NATURE OF WORK

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

I am presenting a view of my own as regards work. I wonder why Ramanujan tried to commit suicide. Was it because of his mind’s rapid outpouring of mathematics? Was he not able to control his mathematical thoughts? Or any other torture in his self due to family affairs. He wanted to visit his family but his mother refused and asked him to stay at Cambridge until his studies were totally finished. Parvathi Menon quotes in Frontline of 1987, last issue that he lost belief in gods. Was it due to his perverted education? He did greatest work in his field with very short span of time. Was he fooled himself by doing so? What happened in him to let himself lay on the underground rails of busy London? Was it because of the longing for love?

Because, I suppose love, knowledge and happiness must be in harmony with work. In England, total strangers accompanied him. He could have overcome his loneliness by letting himself, his heart completely to mathematics. But mathematics is a thought cultivating subject, as Boole titled his treatise on mathematical logic, ‘THE LAWS OF THOUGHT.’ It is appropriate that he called likewise. Therefore one familiar with the laws of thought must have got into the habit of practising it. It is said that when Ramanujan was at work, his denial of meals, other things were overcome by the proper assistance of his wife or mother at home. In England, there was nobody to take care of himself. So he stayed with work for such prolonged hours of 17 and above at a stretch. It is evident that before few days of his death, he was severely engaged at working on ‘MOCK-THETA FUNCTIONS.’ Perhaps if he were managed to control his Thoughts, he might have compensated the work to an elaborate period of time and also might have lived a happier life than what he actually had lived.

Take Hardy, for example. Apart from lecture hours, he allowed not more than 5 hours for mathematical study. He was a bachelor all his life accompanied by his only younger sister, Gertrude Hardy, who too was a spinster. He was a sportsman and played tennis, cricket and was very interested in watching cricket. Also he allowed little philosophy. Thus, a balanced life constituted a glorious life! He discovered Ramanujan, collaborated with Littlewood, wrote classical books, guided many students and more than 200 research papers were due to his credit. Even in Genetics, he formulated his results, that later became the ‘HARDY-WEINBERG LAW.’ He lived more than seventy years.

In the case of Ramanujan, what he did was splendid. Such self-control, such a resistance, such patience and above all the sacrifice towards mathematics finds a rival within himself alone. But he was obdurate to know that mathematics cannot give him food, mundane things so as to make his body able to carry on with his investigations. He did mathematics both while awoke and asleep. Gauss married twice and had a lot of children. Euler was also not exception. But in the case of Newton, there was a custom then practised at Cambridge that the faculty should stay unmarried as long as they remain at the college premises. So he hesitated to marry Miss Storey on the behalf of his study though he once became engaged to her. But they continued to remain friends, as it is evident from Newton’s giving forty shillings to Miss Storey whenever he happened to meet her. As regards Rene Descartes, he too was no exception. Évariste Galois loved a girl without any reciprocation and went into depression. He was imprisoned for his radical activities and was killed in a pistol duel with a policeman. He died at the tender age of 21. Cauchy refused to pay attention to Young Galois’ research papers. Cauchy was a spiritual person and was busy with his own researches alone.

The problem with any creative worker of mathematics is that the mathematician is overwhelmed by divine ecstasy and wants to live in that premises alone. Poetry and music are aimed at pleasure to the soul but mathematics is truly and purely a distilled divine pleasure derived from the working of thinking. The satisfaction while we get during mathematical study is something, which gives our Life a justification and meaning. Mathematical pleasure is derived purely from the perfection of thinking. The output of mathematical serendipity is not always applicable to mundane entities, i.e. they are not useful to us physically. But they are GOD-SEEING MIND’S consolations to the soul. The physical desires are not at all OF ANY USE TO ETERNAL BLISS. But they can do a lot more to the body by temperament so that the body is made good to indulge along with the quest of the mind for truth. I agree with Whitehead who recommends the following phrase in ‘THE PHILOSOPHY OF A. N. WHITEHEAD’, edited by P. A. SCHILPP that ‘PHILOSOPHY IS AN ATTEMPT TO EXPRESS THE INFINITY OF THE UNIVERSE IN TERMS OF THE LIMITATIONS OF LANGUAGE.’ So a perfect drive for any mathematician is philosophy alone so that it would bestow upon him peace of mind, rest and relaxation to thinking, etc. It gives him the aesthetic impulse to maintain the regular courses of Life. It shows him how to pronounce in unison with nature. To me, mathematics and philosophy are not ‘are’ but ‘is.’ That is, they are two different ways of an expression. Like mathematics, philosophy has many branches but the mathematics and philosophy we have been so far engaged are pure. They constitute a vast division to adopt themselves for practicalities, but we are talking about the essence and truism of mathematics and philosophy, which is singular in character. I would call pure mathematics and pure philosophy, their true source, as ZEROICS.
