Guru
Tradition’s Sacred Offering to Brahman
There
was a time when the world had no awareness about the Brahmic Will or the glory of God. It does not mean that this
awareness is perfect even at present. Except that the opportunity to do the
things as revealed from Brahman in the respective ages, the world had not been
able to absorb that knowledge. It was during (the past) six Manu cycles
(Manvantara) and in the three chaturyugas
(the four-fold cosmic ages - satya, treta, dwapara and kali - of the present
seventh Manu cycle) that the complete awareness about the Will of Brahman
did exist. Satyatrana was the great soul who had come at the end of the third chaturyuga. Even though he knew that he
was the heir to the Brahmic Will, he was not revealed the secret of
his own life fully until the end. I am mentioning about the matter which has
been revealed in my experience. I do not know whether there is something
beyond.
A Manvantara is the sankalpam of the Saptarishis
(seven primal rishis). In that sankalpam
a solar system is being created. There are nine planets, which have form and
are suitable for the principle of evolution. The quality of Rahu and Ketu has never been determined. These planets remaining as twelve
constellations (raasi) give twelve
effects. In that, it is not known what effects Rahu and Ketu give.
However, for everything an ordained nature is mentioned. Some perfection is
seen for these two. The Saptarishis
gave the sankalpam for the creation
of a solar system in the measure of 9 planets, 12 constellations and 27 stars.
There are some people who describe it as seven mandalas scientifically as well as by some other experiences. These
seven mandalas have form and
characteristics. However, Rahu and Ketu,
while they revolve, sometimes travel off the path. So we should not expect to
receive their perfect result because the time difference during the revolution
of a twelve-year cycle cannot be determined by anybody. That means their
movement is not regular. They move in a rhythm that cannot be determined.
There is
a measure of Brahmic Light in the
rotation of the solar system. Its influence might have effect here and there,
but it will not go beyond this mandala.
If the difference of a moment occurs in this rotation, error will happen up to
the yaama calculation. It cannot be
determined perfectly. However, there are seconds, minutes, naazhika (24 minutes), vinaazhika
(60/1 of a naazhika) and up to very
minuscule truti in our measurements.
Whatever calculations are there, no mistake should happen in the ‘magnificence’
born out of the sankalpam of the Saptarishis. That is the way of truth.
That is the human life. There are sandhis
(the transition time) in between Manvantaras,
Chaturyugas, Yugas and Yaamas. Sandhya Vandanam (the prayers at
morning, noon and evening) are being done in order to sanctify the yaama sandhis. There are people who
remain awake in the three yaamas or
maximum in the five yaamas. However,
we have been given prayer times in all the eight yaama sandhis.
There is
the calculation that there are five Gurus for a Yuga. These Gurus give us the calculation of Sandhya Vandanam and the awareness about the age. However, we
cannot say how many mahatmas come in the Yuga
sandhi. In the (cycle of) four yugas,
what is made known to us is the Will of Brahman.
If a mistake happens in the Yuga Dharma
at any time, it is not possible to redeem it. A lot of effort is required for
that. The lives of mahatmas and their
words prove it.
In the
awareness of Satyatrana who uttered the chaturvakyas
(the four Vedic enunciations equating individual soul with Brahman, like Aham Bramasmi,
Tatvamasi etc.) the pundits and ignorant fell down in the ditch in a manner
that makes the identification of ages impossible. The truth that can be seen,
if we evaluate the bygone twenty-five chaturyugas,
is this. Our subject is the revelation about where the mistake occurred in
this truth. As a proof that this error occurred, we have in front of us the
lives that have come across thousands of obstacles - the life of a human, pitru, deva, rishi and sanyasi. Among
these lives, understanding what is the life of a muni (sage), a rishi
(seer) and a deva, understanding as
well what is the life of a rishi who
is below the deva - the path of
guidance of the rishi who exists
above the deva is the truth upheld
through the expressions of the rishis.
There
was a time when I was unable to know anything about this truth. It was at
Varkala the karma-kushalata
(spiritual dexterity) was achieved by way of revelation that from which (mandala) this truth exists, higher than
the Trimurti tradition. That period
was a time of physical and mental persecutions. It is impossible to count and
express it or say exhaustively what all types of persecution were there. I am
indebted to the Will of Brahman that made me redeem this. The life of mahatmas was unable to establish what is
right and what is wrong in the Manu
Parampara and how to redeem it.
Six Manvantaras have gone by. For every Manvantara there are 71 chaturyugas. That is the calculation.
There are four yugas (satya, treta, dwapara and kali) in a chaturyuga. The reckoning is that there
are five Gurus for the redemption for every yuga.
The shortest among the yugas is the Kali Yuga. There are 432,000 years for
this alone. Dwapara has double the
years of Kali Yuga. A Dwapara and Kali Yuga add up to the duration of a Treta Yuga. Treta Yuga
plus a Kali Yuga equals the time of Krita (or Satya) Yuga. According to
the rate of reckoning that (there are) five Gurus for every Yuga, after how
many millions of years, the epoch from the birth of Sri Rama to the birth of
Sri Krishna has come!
Prior to
the beginning of the Kali Yuga, it
was Sri Krishna who was born as a Mahatma,
who knew perfectly the dharma of Kali Yuga. It has been determined by
Manu that the fourth age Kali belongs
to the Sudra class. That means Kali Yuga is the ordained age for the Sudra wherein he has the complete right
to Brahmajnana (spiritual
realization), understanding fully all subjects related to the administration
(of the nation) and making others administer, in the fourth age (Kali Yuga). It is as an example that
Krishna was born in the Yadava clan (a backward community).
The
original sin (or error) occurred 25 chaturyugas
ago. The rishi by the name
Satyatrana, when he pondered over the
Truth in order to value it, and when he thought about himself and evaluated the
fundamental Truth that has come by way of Manvantaras
and Chaturyugas, a great slip occurred - and it was mentioned earlier that
the saying ‘Aham Brahmasmi’ ( I am
God) happened as a consequence of it. When this (error) was perfected by the Chaturvakyas in the subsequent ages,
what came about was not conceptual perfection but lexical perfection. That is
the mistake being perpetuated through the (past) 25 Chaturyugas. Gurukula Brahma Niveditam is a karma (path of action) for correcting
that mistake and to bring about the conceptual perfection. (Translated
