'The Modi-God Dialogues'. A book on the Cosmology of Sanatana Dharma by Mukundan P.R.

Hon. Governor of Kerala, Shri Arif Mohammad Khan released 'The Modi - God Dialogues: Spirituality for a New World Order, written by Mukundan PR at a function held in Raj Bhavan on 19.03.2022. The book has been published by Akansha Publishing House, New Delhi. “The Modi-God Dialogues”, is a Philosophical Novel dealing with cosmology, cosmogony, and the spiritual history of the world. Professor S.R.Bhatt, Chairman, The Indian Philosophy Congress, who is also the National Fellow-Indian Council of Social Science Research, Government of India writes in his review: 'The novel titled “The Modi-God Dialogues” by Sri Mukundan P.R. is really a novel attempt to discuss the Indian existential scenario-past and present- to establish a spiritual world order on the basis of sublime Indian culture through multiple characters and numerous mythological stories and significant events in the vast canvass of Indian cultural history... This fascinating book deals with varied subjects pertaining to cosmogony, cosmology, social and political setup...The establishment of a virtuous society in this turbulent world is the need of the times. Ours is a grand and sublime culture. The Vedic wisdom is elevating and ameliorating. It needs to be revisited. There have been many aberrations, distortions, and deviations in Hindu society. We have lost our grandeur. There is a dire need for corrective and curative measures. Hinduism has to be reformed and errors rectified. This is the thrust of this novel..." He opined that this novel is one of the best expositions of Indian culture and Sanatana Dharma.

In another review of the book, Prof. Bal Ram Singh, President, Institute of Advanced Sciences writes: "The book is short, sweet, and full of wisdom for modern times. It rephrases many knowledge issues, allows questioning, and the answer in a format that is conducive to modern communication with concepts, terminologies, and language. Placing a popular figure posing a Mahatma Modi to raise issues of concern to society, intellectuals, truth seekers, religious figures, and politicians to “God” is a format of Bhagavad Gita that may be very effective and efficient to provide foundational knowledge to modern youth for much to ponder. It addresses the questions but provides further discussion by seekers, a beautiful way of continuing the dialogue for eternity." Swami Gurusavit Jnana Thapaswi, In-Charge, Santhigiri Healthcare & Research Organization, Dr. Gopinathan Pillai, Senior Fellow, Santhigiri Research Foundation, Dr.B. Rajkumar, Medical Superintendent, Shantigiri Healthcare & Research Organization were among others who attended the function. The well-known Gandhian Dr. N. Radhakrishnan received a copy of the book from the Governor. Buy the book here: https://universalculturetrust.org/product/the-modi-god-dialogues-mukundan-p-r/

The Connection Between Luck and Spirituality

 The Connection Between Luck and Spirituality

Is there any relationship between our spiritual practices and good fortune in life? This was one of the most talked-about topics in the discourses of Navajyoti Sri KarunakaraGuru. The majority of his followers came from the downtrodden class. They were mostly from Sudra communities beginning from Nairs, Ezhavas, and Dalits. Guru was much pained to see the sad plight of these communities. He connected their pathetic situation with their ignorant lifestyle and meritless worship tradition.

Many of them came to Guru at a point when they had exhausted all Punya (good fortune) in life. There was no unity, love, and harmony in their domestic life. Each member of the family held an opposite opinion on everything. They do not help each other most of the time. There will be mutual accusations and mistrust. If one person in the family is well off, he will keep the others at a certain distance fearing that they may ask for some help. Most of them live separately with their wives and children. Their wives feel that the husband's parents are a burden. The poor aged parents become physically and mentally sick because of the environment of insecurity, lack of love, and care.

If any of these people earn some money, they will live ignorantly without any knowledge of dharma because it was not taught to them. Over a period of time, their Punya and health get deteriorated. In the end, they will have only diseases as their companions. When there is no Punya, there will be poverty also. Poverty is both spiritual and material. At last, they go away from this world without earning any merit. This is the domestic situation in most families today.

There are many psychologists and social scientists but they have not been able to identify the real reason behind this or offer a solution. Navajyoti Sri Karunakara Guru brought to light the inseparable connection between Spirituality and Punya. Every member of the family will have a separate Ishta Devata. One may worship Siva, while the others may like Durga, Vishnu, Hanuman, and so on. All these deities have different qualities, likes, and dislikes. The Vishnu bhakta would be a vegetarian, while the worshipper of Durga cannot live without non-veg. One among them may never go to a temple; he may be an atheist or a Vedanti. So in the same family, you will find different characters that make unity impossible. Most often an outsider will come and take advantage of their disunity. This is the situation in most Hindu families. It is this spiritual disunity that gets reflected at the national level too. Hindus can never be united because of their spiritual disunity.

If you examine the background of these families still closer, you will find that they have behind them a tradition of the family deity. Many families will have a family temple to where they go and worship occasionally. That family deity will be a sort of evil spirits such as an ancestral spirit, kuttichattan, yakshi, brahmarakshas, or any other such evil spirits. These are found more in southern India. In the north the names are different. They are worshipped with the sweet-sounding names of Trimurti or of some other grand gods and goddesses. These evil spirits will shatter the peace in the house, and drain off the Punya of worshippers. When there is no Punya, there will not be good fortunes by way of wealth, health, beauty, riches, wisdom, or fine culture. There will be perpetual misery in life.

Realizing that misery in life is due to the paucity of Punya in the soul, Navajyoti Sri Karunakara Guru opened a new path for such people by which they can earn Punya in life. Thousands of families were rescued from a malignant spiritual culture and were guided into Guru Margam – the New Path of Spiritual Liberation.

The Structure of Brahmanda: The Indian Concept of the Universe

The rishis called our universe Brahmanda and had explained its structure both in its astronomical and spiritual aspects, long before modern science. Brahmanda is a vast egg-shaped space with multi-dimensional biospheres with distances of trillions of light-years. The sun and its planets including our earth rotate in this space.

Brahmanda has a north pole (Dhruva Nakshatra) as well as a south pole that determines the time and space of Brahmanda in a vast emptiness. Dhruva Nakshatra might have a much deeper mystical meaning related to the creation of Brahmanda. We will not go into that now. Apart from the Dhruva Nakshatra, there is also the Saptarshi mandala(the great bear) consisting of seven celestial orbs on the outer periphery of Brahmanda. A line visualized as the path connecting the north and south pole through the center is considered the axis of Brahmanda.

There are 27 nakshatras or the Milkyway galactical constellations arranged like a girdle at the outermost ring of the Brahmanda. These nakshatras are grouped into 12 Rashi mandalas or constellations. All these nakshatras or Rashi mandalas emit unique radiances. They exert their corresponding influences upon the souls in the Brahmanda defining their structure, qualities, and character.

Like the earth spins around the sun, the sun has a similar movement around a Rashi mandala. The movement of the earth around the sun produces micro-time such as day and night, seasons and years, and along with it, the evolution of life too. The movement of the sun around a Rashi mandala produces macro time such as Yuga, Chaturyuga, and Manvantara that measures the process of creation and dissolution internal to the Brahmanda.

There are fourteen biospheres or lokas for the souls to reside, seven up and seven down in the space between the north pole and south pole of the Brahmanda. The seven worlds below are called Patala Loka, the nether worlds.

Our Loka is Bhuloka that forms part of the solar system. It is situated at the center of the axis of Brahmanda. Above the Bhuloka is Bhuvarloka (antariksha). Above this space is Swarga Loka. Above Swarga Loka are still more finer lokas called Maharloka, Janaloka, tapoloka and then Satyaloka, (the seat of Brahman or God). These lokas are also referred as Trimurti mandalam, Rishi mandalam, Iswara mandalam, Brahma mandalam or Parabrahma mandalam by other sages.

Brahmanda is the dwelling place of trillions of souls of different nature. Each loka is inhabited by various types of souls with different frequencies of consciousness and happiness or bliss. For example, in the Gandharva loka ( a sub-world in the Bhuvarloka), happiness (ananda) is hundred times than the manushyananda. Similarly, in the Pitruloka, Devaloka, or Swargaloka, the ananda is many hundred times more than that of manushyananda. The ananda in lokas above Swarga such as Maharloka, Tapoloka, and Satyaloka are in many many thousandfolds. The souls aspire to evolve through these lokas and to merge with Satya loka, the penultimate resting place of all souls. The souls go up and down in these lokas, taking several bodies according to their karma.

Brahmanda is a finite world, meaning it has a beginning and an end. The age of a Brahmanda is measured in terms of Manvantaras. 71 chaturyugas constitute a Manvantara. A Chaturyuga means a cluster of four yugas, namely Satya, Treta, Dwapara, and Kali (43,20,000 years). A Manvantara is equal to 71x43,20,000 years = 30,67,20,000 years. At the end of 14 such manvantaras (or a Kalpa) the Brahmanda gets dissolved, only to be reproduced in the next Kalpa. The present Brahmanda is seven Manvantaras old, i.e. approximately 15 billion years. There are seven more Manvantaras to go before its dissolution. Modern science says our galaxy has come into existence about 14 billion years ago. This comes very near to the 15 billion years of the manvantara time scale.

A soul can access the higher lokas only through a mahatma who has got evolved to that loka through long Tapasya. Various soul groups like Pitrus, Yakshas, Kinnaras, Gandharvas, Siddhas, Devas, etc. occupy the space between Bhuvar Loka and Swargaloka in the Brahmanda. The Loka above Swarga is. Mahar Loka, which is the seventh in the hierarchy of Lokas. Only one out of billions of souls may reach Mahar Loka and the Lokas above it because of the resistance from Yogabhrashtas.

Who are the Yogabhrashtas? Yogabhrashtas are those jealous and fallen souls who have got slipped in the path of spirituality. Even some angelic beings also are included in this. Satan, Jinn, etc. are the other names for Yogabhrashtas. They block the path of other aspirants who want to ascend to higher Lokas. Even great Mahatmas that we know of remain in between the border of six and seven, i.e between the Swarga and Mahar Loka.

Sri Krishna was the only soul in the distant past who could reach up to Tapo Loka or the abode of Ishwara, transcending the seventh and eighth heaven or gyana Bhumika. In recent history, Prophet Muhammad was shown the Mahar loka (the seventh heaven) by an angel. But he could not actualize it further. A group of ferocious spirits (Jinns) corrupted his ideology in the subsequent time. The reason why Sri Krishna does not advise the worship of devas is to be found here. He stopped the worship of Indra. He humbled the pride of Brahma. He chided the Vaidikas whose main aspiration was to achieve the pleasures of Swarga.

In the present age, Sri Karunakara Guru is known to have transcended the eighth and ninth gyana bhumikas through the help of Sri Krishna. On the day of Guru's spiritual ascendence, a revelation came from the Light: "What I wished for ages has been fulfilled now". Sri Krishna, appearing in vision, advised the followers to pray to Guru only from now on. A new Guru Mantra or Akhanta Nama was also revealed from the Light. The devotees can ascend to Parabrahma Mandala, the highest Loka, through the chanting of Guru Mantra.

What is the reason behind India's Civilizational Crisis?

Sanatana Dharma is the basis of Indian culture and society. Sanatana Dharma rests upon Manus and their system of evolution of life through Manvantara time cycles in which a soul goes through the experiences of many Akashic fields before ending the journey in Brahman, the substratum of consciousness. It is a system of spiritual evolution of individual souls from the state of an atom to its absolute potential presided over by a divinely ordained Trikala Gyani Guru (who knows the past, present, and future) with a divine eye to perceive the time cycles of Manu and who is also able to advise the dharma and karma evaluating the past, present, and future of the human race. In this journey of evolution, the Akashic field of Devatas or the angelic world is neither the limits nor the desired destination. Not only the Vaidika Dharma but all other world religions today have put a limit to the journey of evolution. They obstruct the soul’s journey to higher astral or Akashic fields because all of them are angelic in origin.

Here comes the significance of Yuga Dharma. Yuga Dharma means a pre-set process of evolution that has to happen through each Yuga. So the Yuga Dharma of Dwapara and Treta becomes obsolete in Kali Yuga. To understand Yuga Dharma one has to realize the scheme of spiritual evolution willed by God. The concept of time itself was required for the process of evolution to happen. Time is the synonym for evolution. The solar system with its nine Grihas, 27 Nakshatras, and 12 Raashi Mandalas is an ecosystem for the gradual evolution of life. Manvantara time order is put in place for this measured evolution. Kali Yuga is the age of transition to Satya Yuga, the perfect age of Supramental evolution. So there will be an explosion of knowledge in Kali Yuga. Everything will be knowledge-oriented. The souls have to attain a higher degree of perfection to be qualified for the transition to Satya Yuga.

The rituals of Treta and Dwapara yuga with a focus on Devatas and caste laws will not be helpful in this spiritual transition. The effort to reclaim India’s past spiritual glory cannot succeed without a fundamental shift in spiritual practices. The people have to evolve themselves from the high-low caste gradation and Devata-worship. They are fed with the mythology, rituals, and customs in the Puranas in the name of Vaidika Dharma or Hinduism. The essence of Hinduism lies in Sanatana Dharma, which is the science and process of evolution. But there is no effort to impart the knowledge and the noble spiritual culture of Sanatana Dharma honoring the principles of Yuga Dharma. Kali Yuga is an age of ascendance to Satya Yuga. Therefore, the rituals of Treta and Dwapara yuga become irrelevant and counter-productive because the people born in Kali Yuga are those who have already attained the deva stage through the spiritual processes of Treta and Dwapara yuga. Continuing with the old rituals means spiritual stagnation. Therefore, the right guidance from a spiritual authority in the Manu Parampara who has transcended at least the seventh Akashic dimension becomes necessary in Kali Yuga.

The Lost Spiritual Order - Revelations from Navajyoti Sri Karunakara Guru.

Different from most other ashrams and sages who continue to function under the Trimurti order, Navajyoti Sree Karunakara Guru’s ideology calls for a fundamental shift in our understanding of Sanatana Dharma. The Guru brings to our cognizance the true nature of Sanatana Dharma – the science of human life and the evolution of human consciousness in the solar system.

Every solar system is born and administered by a Cosmic Mind – the Cosmic Purusha. through the guidance of a long lineage of Gurusor Guru Parampara. Manu is that Cosmic Mind, the primordial father of the human race. He is the originator and sustainer of life in the solar system. The words ‘Manushya’, ‘Manav’ and ‘Man’ originated from Manu. The present age belongs to Vaivasvatha Manu, who is the seventh out of fourteen Manus in a long episode of creation called Kalpa.

A basic error seems to have happened in this ageless system of Sanatana Dharma, according to the revelations from the Supreme Light made known throughNavajyoti Sri Karunakara Guru in the year 1973 during the spiritual ascension of the Guru. The important points of those revelations are:

1. A great preceptor in the Manu Parampara committed an error by equating himself toBrahman, the Almighty. He uttered ‘AhamBrahmasmi’ (I am God) which was against the Will of God. An individual soul may realize Brahman but can not equate itself to Brahman. The mistake had an egoistic origin. The first sin of mankind is related to this error.

2. The above-said error occurred in the third Chaturyuga of the present VaivaswataManvantara. (A Manvanatra has 71 Chaturyugas. Chaturyuga means a cluster of four Yugas, Satya, Treta, Dwapara, and Kali. We are in the Kaliyuga of the 28thChaturyuga of the present Vaivasvata Manvantara).

3. As a consequence, the memory of Manu and Sanatana Dharma was lost to mankind in the subsequent ages. A dark period of spiritual eclipse followed after this error in the 3rd Chaturyuga. Many ages went without any light and it lasted till the 7th Chaturyuga. The history related to Manu was also lost.

4. In the 7th Chaturyuga, Brahman initiated a correction through three spiritual evolutes - Siva, Vishnu, and Brahma, who later came to be known as the Trimurti. They were the gurus of past ages. Their spiritual regime (Trimurti tradition) continued till the 12th Chaturyuga.

5. Then, the same error that happened to a preceptor in the Manu Parmpara earlier gets repeated in the Trimurti tradition also as the Trimurti began to be equated with Brahman in the Smritis and Puranas.

6. A preceptor in the Trimurti tradition charts the cosmic time order of Manu as subservient to Brahma, the god of creation in Trimurti tradition. The Cosmic Time Order of Manu gets distorted in order to give prominence to Trimurti.

7. Santana Dharma gets dissected into many sects on the basis of Saiva, Sakteya, and Vaishnavasects, each sect claiming superiority over the other.

8. The Vedic Priestsdevelop the tantric system of ritualistic worship abandoning the Jnana Kanda (wisdom path) of the Vedas. A ridiculous story is available in the Puranas that the Jnana face of god Brahma was cut off as he was unable to answer a question.

9. The concept of ‘Varna’ in the Vedas is changed into a caste system by greedy priests. People were divided on the basis of birth and occupations.

10. The spiritual leadership of the sages and gurus under the Manu Parampara is ignored. A system of worship based on the propitiation of Devi-Devas and Trimurti gains strength in which the priests became the custodian of dharma.

11. The fall of Santana Dharma begins. After a few thousand years into Kaliyuga, India loses its leadership role in spirituality, culture, politics, and economy.

12. When Santana Dharma continued to suffer in India despite the efforts of great avatars like Sri Krishna, Sri Buddha, Mahavir, and various other sages, Brahman sends other messengers in different parts of the world such as Moses, Jesus Christ, and Prophet Mohammed for short periods of time with a limited theological framework.

13. It has been revealed that since the beginning of this Kaliyuga 2444 Gurus have appeared in India and in different parts of the world for preparing the ground for the re-establishment of Sanatana Dharma leading to a great socio-cultural renaissance.

14. Unfortunately, the messengers of God get persecuted by powerful demonic spirits in the subtle and these Guru lineages get affected by spiritual pollution. The history of persecution suffered by great souls like Sri Krishna, Sri Buddha, Mahavir, the Sikh Gurus as well as by Moses, Jesus Christ, and Prophet Mohammad is well known. Today mankind is suffering great unrest and bloodshed in the name of religion. The Will of Brahman remains unfulfilled. The human race is left like a rudderless boat without the guidance of Manu Parampara.

15. Brahman initiates a long-awaited correction. A great soul, who had evolved through all spiritual stages through self-sacrifices and austerities spanning many ages is sent to the earth plane. The name of that Mahatma is Navajyoti Sri KarunakaraGuru. He was born at Chandiroor in Alappuzha, Kerala On 1 September 1927. Revelations were made to the Guru from the Supreme Light about the heretofore unknown chronicle of mankind’s spiritual history.

16. One of the revelations from the Supreme Light is about the impending rise of India. Within 350 years, India will regain its lost glory. It will regain its status as Vishwa Guru.

17. Navajyotisri Karunakara Guru said that only through the creation of a global organization that works beyond the confines of caste, class, and religion and which is established in human love and righteousness, the world can be rightly guided.

18. Such an organization should function under the guidance of an omniscient Guru from whom the rights and wrongs could be ascertained, including matters related to governance and all other areas of social life. Only such a Guru can guide humanity to spiritual uplift in line with the evolutionary character of Yuga Dharma with the belief in Brahman, the One Supreme Light.

After Navajyoti Sri Karunakara Guru left his body on 6th May 1999, His successor Her Holiness Sishya Poojitha Amrita Jnana Tapaswini guides the Guru Parampara in all spiritual matters. By aligning with the ideology of Navajyoti Sri Karunakara Guru, India along with the rest of the world can resurrect itself from the ancient spiritual wrongs and become the rightful heir to the new world order.

Great Sayings of Navajyothi Sri Karunakara Guru

1. There is a situation where even if spiritual knowledge is gained one is unable to progress further making it work. One should advance by accepting a perfect Guru of experience as a guide for that to happen.

2. This ideology is the correction of a mistake that is 25 Chaturyugas old. It is the restoration of Manu Dharma willed by Brahman. Such glorious karma is being nurtured through a section of people who have no knowledge or experience of any kind.

3. The families who live doing some good deeds though minimally, wherever they may be in the world, the children born to them after 1973 will be virtuous children. They will have a special love and respect for this Guru Margam. Even the former Acharyas will be reborn through such children. The prayer and Sankalpam being done at Santhigiri are for that.

4. We who are convinced that this is the absolute truth and who are perfectly qualified for the merits of Yuga Dharma, if we treat this matter lightly, it will be the disrespect to God. It will also result in great sin.

5. The karma that we get from the Ashram leads to Mukthi making man a deva and rishi. First, stabilize the faith for that. Then realize that deva and Devi are only this much. After that adopt the worship in accordance with Yuga Dharma. This is the most truthful way.

6. What is the religious doctrine of Hindus? Someone who keeps Maatan and addresses him ‘O, Lord’. Another who goes directly to Brahman. Or the one who goes keeping guru. He who goes directly to God can never be straightened out.

7. What you have to get is the merit of your work. It must first come from God. You must think that calling God is not for God, but for you.

8. Life is not just about making money. It is not enough that money, capacity, and wealth are earned. When you have the money and capability, you will jump into a crazy course of action, owing to pride, arrogance, and lack of humility.

9. The Trimurti are the gurus of the age to which they are entitled. They are standing in the subtle. The Guru is the one who neutralizes that.

10. There is no karma here other than prayer. You can gain all the blessings and good fortune you need through your karma.

11. The Sankalpam here is that the ten-time prayers ordained to be done here should be imparted to each child and should reach the children of the world. This is our primary karma.

12. Faith must be enduring. Listening to what somebody says is not what we need. Our need is to come to the Guru and know.

13. The subject which we are working on today will exist several Chaturyugas and Manvanataras. Guru is the instrument given by God for that.

14. Love one another like children of one father forgetting male and female, big and small, caste and religion.

15. Never blame a sanyasi. He has undergone some sacrifice if nothing else. If the sanyasi is self-sacrificing, there will be some perfection in any of his actions.

16. The sanyasi and the Bhakta all arise from Grihasthashramis. Our Ashram system has been directed emphasizing this idea.

17. Some negate the temple system. It could be. But it should be with perfect knowledge. To negate otherwise is intolerance.

18. The Christians and Muslims here are those who left from the Hindus here. They left so due to the enormous hardships a section of Hindus suffered.

19. The Hindu religious doctrine is very great and all-embracing. Each of us has a responsibility to think that an error happened to it somewhere.

20. Like Janaka, a true Grihasthashrami should become the possessor of the fortune maintaining darshan with upadesha, the truth with darshan, and the dharma with the truth.

21. The Deva has no place in Kali. The place is for Guru in Kali. This truth has been told by many Mahatmas. But we couldn't honor it.

22. The Brahmin was very happy in Varnashrama Dharma. Kshatriya was given rule and Vaishya was given trade. Shudra was not given knowledge and the awareness of dharma. He only learned to imitate whomever he saw.

23. When there was no peace ever after enjoying in all ways the Westerners came here growing hair, the Beedi maker and the boatman here too began the same.

24. A child is born under the Rashi of the Pitru. An intelligent and discerning child will be born into a family that performed Pitru Shudhi.

25. If you have only two children, let them have unity. If there are ten, the ten should have that.

26. The culture that exists today makes any great person hang the head in shame before their children.

27. One cannot claim Mukti unless one goes above the Trimurti tradition and at least reaches the state of the master of Ganas (gananam pati).

28. Which should we take – the Trimurti tradition or Manu tradition? Ignoring the distance between the paths is a subject to be realized and accepted.

29. Aren’t you competing for ruination by developing science and technology too much than required?

30. The world itself is on the verge of destruction, illuminated by anuprasaram (virus spread/atomic flood?). Let us stop this leap to destruction and get ready to work for a better tomorrow.

31. We need to abandon the myth that Brahma Jnanam does not flourish in Kali. We should see Kali as the best time to develop it and the occasion to actualize it beneficially.

32. Ever since the dharma of Kali was negated, we have lost everything that belongs to us. The only thing left is the western style.

33. Ours is a Parampara that does not comprehend even after receiving Asareeri from the presence of Brahman. As a result, a Parampara that had to develop an ideology of emancipation was not only destroyed but also the true aspect of statecraft was lost to us. The occasion for the Portuguese, Dutch, and the Mughals to attack us came because we could not grasp the true aspect of statecraft.

34. A mistake happened to our forefathers and gurus. We need to know how that mistake happened. We have to get a correction from God for that mistake.

35. The people of the god of one caste cannot approach the god of another caste. What has destroyed us is the magnitude of the ignorance that has framed such a situation.

36. Born and raised in the Trimurti tradition that spans many Chaturyugas, there is the ignorance that we could not create anything of our own or could not maintain what was once ours. In other countries, many intellectuals and thinkers were born and developed science and technology and took over the fields of industry and commerce.

37. When we have the opportunity to share our love, respect, and ability, when we fail to do anything, all the good we have gained will go away.

38. There must be lasting persistence in faith. The need is not to listen to what others say. We need to come to the Guru and know.

39. If the sacrifice of a sanyasi is respected, the gain is for the householders.

40. Everything here has gone wrong because of negating Guru Dharma by citing Vedic Dharma.

41. Guru is the core of truth that resides within the bliss of Atma which consists of so many spiritual skies beyond form and formlessness.

What Should be the Dharma of a New India?

What is the reason behind the enslavement of Hindus for a thousand years? Why Hindus are unable to be united despite the best efforts of so many great souls? Why Hindus are unable to assert their cultural identity and freedom in their motherland? Why Hindus suffer the onslaught of conversions and distortion of the idea of Bharat? What should be the religion of a New India? The discussion here explains the whole background of these issues.

There are three spiritual systems in the world that embrace all spiritual visions. The first one is the Manvantara Spiritual Order or Sanatana Dharma (Jnana tradition of Rishis). The second one is the Trimurti Order, in which three major sects are integrated into a single order under the idea of Creator, Preserver, and Destroyer, by the authors of Puranas. For this reason, the Trimurti system can also be referred to as Puranic Hinduism or Smartha tradition. Some Indologists call it Brahmanical Hinduism too, because a Brahmin is extolled as a Deva (Brahmana Devo Bhava) and therefore, superior to all other castes.

The third one is Prophetical Religions that promote faith in the One God through the medium of a Prophet.

The Manvantara Spiritual Order is centered around Manu, who is God in creation mode. Manvantara Spiritual Order upholds the concept of Brahm or Paramatma, the One God of the universe. Between the Paramatma and man, there is only one medium - His messengers, i.e. the sages, seers, and gurus.

Although the Abrahamic religions believe in One God and the mediumship of a Prophet, their worldview, as well as the idea of creation, is crude. Moreover, the Abrahamic religions lack important concepts such as Cosmic Time Order, Evolution of Jeevas through various Lokas, the theory of Karma, and Reincarnation.

The Puranic tradition through the eighteen Puranas and Itihasas propagates the idea of Trimurti and the large family of deities under them for worship. There are hundreds of sects and schools of thought under the Trimurti Order. There are no fixed laws or common rituals. There is total freedom to be a believer or a non-believer. There is no spiritual authority also to interfere or control the freedom of people in the matter of faith. Although freedom of individuals is commendable, there is rampant misuse of this freedom and a person is able to escape without any punishment even if he denounces the faith.

Hinduism has six philosophical systems. One can find the roots of all thoughts in the world in these philosophies. Among the philosophies of Hindus, Vedanta occupies an important place as it is the basic thought-current of the Vedas and Upanishads. Advaita Vedanta, a branch of Vedanta, has been placed on the highest pedestal by all great thinkers in the world as man’s ultimate spiritual thought-process. Nevertheless, the Advaita philosophy of pure Non-Dual Truth (i.e. God, the Absolute Truth alone exists) has not been found favor with many god-fearing sages in Trimurti Order itself. Madvacharya was one of the main opponents of Advaita Vedanta. He advocated Dvaita philosophy (accepting the medium of a Guru or Devata to achieve the state of Advaita, i.e. the non-dual state of Absolute Truth.

It is against the Will of God to consider what God has created imagining itself to be the Creator as suggested by the saying ‘Aham Brahmasmi’ (I am God), said Navajyoti Sri Karunakara Guru. Navajyothi Sri Karunakara Guru reveals that ‘Ahama Brahmasmi’ is a major error that had occurred in Indian spirituality. Any evil spirit can be elevated to the level of God by this concept.

Is there any difference between Sanatana Dharma and Puranic Hinduism? This is an important question that all practitioners of Hinduism should give a thought to. Since both these systems draw from a common source, it is difficult to distinguish the difference. The fundamental principles of Sanatana Dharma rest on the concept of Manu and the world teachers (Kalanthara Gurus) appearing in the epoch of Manu. Manu is the originator of every episode of creation, i.e. the Kalpa and Manvantara time cycles.

14 Manus prepare the blueprint of every solar system in a Kalpa and guide the Jeevas (souls) in their spiritual evolution through the Yuga cycles. For this reason, Sanatana Dharma is also known as Manu Parampara or Manvantara Spiritual Order. The Rishis have even mentioned the name of 14 Manus. We are living in the seventh Manvantara and the Manu is Vaivasvata Manu.

The Manvantara Spiritual Order believes that all human beings came from a Single Source, i.e. Manu, the Cosmic Purusha. So Manu is God in creation mode. The man was created in the image of that Cosmic Purusha. For this reason, Manu is mentioned as the Progenitor of mankind, the Supreme Father. The purpose of life is to evolve and to merge with the Cosmic Purusha and attain Mukthi. The Abrahamic religions borrowed this idea from Indian spirituality and prospered.

For achieving Mukthi, the soul incarnates innumerable times. A Kalanthara Guru guides the evolution of souls. Manu Parampara means the spiritual brotherhood of these gurus and the dharma revealed by these Mahatmas become the Veda. Sanatana Dharma is the spiritual culture of these Mahatmas or Rishis. At the beginning of every yuga, the Veda gets revealed through the Kalanthara Guru under Manu Parampara. Sanatana Dharma means the eternal or everlasting dharma guiding the spiritual evolution of humanity. By its own definition, Sanatana Dharma is the God-ordained spiritual system universally applicable to all people.

In contrast to the basic tenets of Sanatana Dharma, the Trimurti order identifies itself with the Karamakanda of Vedas and the mythology in the Puranas that extol the supremacy of gods and worship of deities through mantra and `tantra. The Vedas were revealed in the earlier Yugas, i.e. Satya Yuga, Treta, and Dwapara and that was the dharma of those ages. While the basic principles remain the same, the modes of worship and spiritual authorities change in every Yuga. This change is applicable to Kali Yuga also. It is a science related to evolution through the Manvantara time order.

The above said truth was first revealed by Sri Krishna. But the orthodoxy did not welcome the change and continued to stick on to the old system. When they refused to accept the Yuga Dharma of Kali Yuga, God gave the message in various ways through Lord Buddha, Lord Mahavir, and so many other Mahatmas highlighting the spiritual transition in Kali Yuga. Unfortunately, their efforts did not succeed. Then God sent other messengers in different parts of the world in order to implement the dharma of Kali Yuga by force or choice. In short, India was left behind in this spiritual transition or advancement.

The worship of Devatas, the performance of Siddhis, etc. belong to past ages - Treta Yuga and Dwapara Yuga. Kali Yuga is the age of Jnana or spiritual realization. Kali Yuga is the stepping stone to Satya Yuga, the all truthful age. So the souls must attain necessary qualifications to be promoted to Satya Yuga by achieving spiritual excellence in Kali Yuga through a realized Guru. For this reason, even the Devatas want to be born in Kali Yuga in Bharat, the scriptures say. However, the orthodoxy portrayed Kali Yuga as a ruinous Yuga because the old ways of worship lose significance in Kali Yuga. Kali Yuga is the age of spiritual and material advancement. All people have equal opportunities to evolve into Satya Yuga. This is an age for correction of mistakes that occurred in the previous Yugas.

The other schools of thought have not accepted the orthodox Trimurti order, the Puranic Hinduism because of its time-barred worship system and caste-based division of society. The birth of different spiritual movements in India like Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, and sects like Kabir Panth, Brahmo Samaj, Arya Samaj, etc. and religious conversions of Hindus to Islam and Christianity can be seen in the light of this rift. The only way to prevent the disintegration of Hindus is to follow the Manvantara Spiritual Order, i.e. Sanatana Dharma in its purity. This forms the discourse of Navajyothi Sree Karunakara Guru, the great Guru in prophecies.

In the Trimurti system, the nucleus of society is the temple and the priest. In Sanatana Dharma, the nucleus is the Ashram and a Trikala Jnani Guru, who sits in the Ashram for the guidance of society. Every Grihasthashrami (householders) is thus guided by Guru. When the Griha (family) gets linked with Ashram and Guru, that becomes Grihasthashrama Dharma. Grihasthashrama Dharma can be fulfilled only through the guidance of Guru.

India has distanced itself from the Ashram culture and therefore, Gurus are not given a proper place in the society. The main reason behind it is the spiritual distortion prevailing at present. Today, gurus and ashrams proclaim the glory of Sanatana Dharma without knowing the true spiritual framework of Sanatana Dharma.

The Kalanthara Guru has control over the whole people, including the government. That is the concept of governance in Sanatana Dharma. In ancient times, the kings governed the country under the guidance of such Gurus only. Sanatana Dharma envisages a singular control over society. As there are no divisions of caste, creed, gender, etc. there is an absolute sense of unity.

In the Trimurti order, this unity and singular control are not possible because of the importance of three main sects, which have different deities as objects of worship and different Karmakanda and philosophies as well as different spiritual authorities. While one sect considers Siva as the Originator, the other as Vishnu, and yet another as Brahma, Goddess, and so on. The people are divided among unequal caste groups. And there is no possibility of getting united under a singular spiritual authority as different deities and priests are the media between man and God. All efforts to unite Hindus have so far failed because of this spiritual disunity and social fragmentation.

Friction exists between these two thought currents from ancient times. The concept of Yuga Dharma through the cycles of Yugas and Manvantaras is fundamental to the inner teachings of Sanatana Dharma. It’s time the Hindu society and its leaders review the original concepts in order to confront the forces that threaten their very existence in their motherland Bharat.

Only through the acceptance of the Manvantara Spiritual Order Hindus can unite and confront the onslaught of outside religions and bring peace to the world. India can again rise to the status of Vishwa Guru and show others the right path. The spiritual movement of Navajyoti Sri Karunakara Guru is a beginning in this direction.

How You Lose Bhagya and Punya (Good Fortune and Luck)

So far Dharma has been defined through the perspective of moral and religious duties. But dharma has a spiritual definition different from that. Dharma is also about the right mode of God worship. Man attains bhagya (good fortune) and Punya through the worship of God and observance of Dharma. When man deviates from the right mode of worship as willed by God, it becomes Adharma and it leads to Aradhana Dosham – the ill effects due to degrading God worship. Aradhana Dosham means debasing spiritual practices with their consequences such as moral faults, corruption, mental and physical debilities or deformities, loss of good fortune, etc.

Aradhana Dosham also affects the mobility of souls through higher spiritual domains (Avasthas or Lokas) of varying evolutionary nature with its peculiar color, potencies, and hierarchies. These are spiritual planes above the earth plane. After the Manushya Loka (human world), there are the Bhutaloka (the Spirit world), Pitruloka (the world of ancestral souls), Devaloka (the world of devatas), Rishiloka, Janarloka, etc. up to Parabrahmaloka. Although texts like Bhagavata Purana mentioned it, the concept of Lokas and their relation with evolution is an area that has not been explored properly. It forms part of the discourse on Aradhana Dosham or spiritual degradation or stagnation. Aradhana Dosham directly or indirectly affects the measure of virtue (Punya) and the evolutionary track of the soul. Spiritual pollution means stagnation of souls in lower spiritual domains with its adverse effects on health, progeny and the prosperity of the family.

The tranquility of soul is experienced in higher spiritual domains (Avasthas) above the hierarchies of spirits, celestials, angels, and devatas including their mediums. Those who worship low spirits, their souls, after death, go to Bhutaloka. Those who worship Pitrus, go to Pitruloka and those who worship devatas go to Devaloka or Swargaloka if they have lived a virtuous life. Swarga is a plane of the highest degree of pleasure. The worshippers of devatas will remain in Swarga Loka till the exhaustion of their Punya that they have earned in Marthyaloka. Once the Punya is exhausted they fall back to the earth plane to undergo the misery of pain and pleasure again and again. The Upanishads state this. This has also been mentioned by Sri Krishna in Bhagavad Gita. This is a vicious circle. Adi Sankaracharya mentions this misery in his famous verse ‘Punarapi Jananam, Punarapi Maranam, Punarapi Janani Jatare Shayanam’ (You fall back again and again in the womb of the mother).

(The Abode of Navajyoti Sri Karunakara Guru at Santhigiri Ashram, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India)

The spiritual domains up to heaven are related to virtue and vice, praise and punishment, pleasure and pain, name and form. In other words, it is the abode of Ashta Raga - the eight-fold bindings of the soul. By the worship of lower spiritual entities, the souls get linked to those astral planes which produce only dual experiences of pain and pleasure, sorrow and happiness, births and rebirths. There is no scope of Mukthi for the souls in this domain. So long as the soul is subject to Ashta Ragas, there will be no Mukthi by way of spiritual evolution. In the present age, mankind is mostly confined to these lower spiritual planes, hence there is a lack of peace, love, and harmony, good health, etc. and experiences contrary to expectations.

Although the Abrahamic religions speak of One God, their ultimate aim is also heaven, the same Swarga which Hindus speak about. They too remain in the category of heaven-mongers. Hence, the quarrels, corruption, violence, and bigotry in those creeds. It is well known that the holy Koran which speaks of One God, was revealed by an angel. In the Old Testament, it is said that angels corrupted men and misled them. Revelations from the Supreme Light alone leads to true enlightenment and peace.

The last one such revelation was from Sri Krishna who advocated the worship of Paramatma, the One God. Krishna came from a higher Source above Devatas and Trimurti. He exhorted the people to abandon the old rituals and accept Him alone as the embodiment of God. But the teachings of Sri Krishna got distorted and his mission defeated. Moreover, the spiritual tenure of Sri Krishna had ended with Dwapara Yuga. However, he left with an assurance that he will manifest again in Kali Yuga when dharma is in peril.

Enduring health is the result of tranquility arising out of soul’s composure in higher spiritual planes where all dualities disappear and the soul remains in its true state of undivided bliss. It is the plane where Oneness of God and Oneness of Humanity become an actual experience. This spiritual transition is essential for a healthy society and for achieving lasting peace, enduring health and progress. Mankind, therefore, requires the guidance of such a Spiritual Authority in this Kali age - a Trikala Jnani Guru who has ascended the spiritual ladders up to Paramatma.

The supra-mental evolution mentioned by Sri Aravind Ghosh is related to this spiritual transition in Kali Yuga. Before embarking on this path of spiritual evolution, one has to get rid of Karma Dosha, Pitrudosha and Aradhana Dosha and establish oneself in the path of such a spiritual Authority under Sanatana Dharma. The dialogue on human health and progress can become meaningful only when these subjective and astral aspects are given due attention and thought, mentions Navajyoti Sri Karunakara Guru, the supremely ascended Master, whom Sri Krishna brought to the earth plane to resurrect Sanatana Dharma.
