The Solar & the Lunar Path !

In Transcendental Philosophy, two paths have been described.

The Solar Path is the Path of the Yogis. Those who aspire to Self Actualisation and attain to it follow this path celestial !

The Solar Path!

The Northern progress of the Sun ( Uttarayana, from Capricorn to Cancer), the Bright Fortnight and birth or death during day is considered as positive. This is the Solar Path or Deva Yana

Agnir jyothir aha shukla
Shan masa Uttarayanam
Tatra Prayatha Gaschanti
Brama brahma vido janah

The Lunar Path

In this Path, the yogi is subject to recurrence.

Dhoomo ratri thada krishna
Shan masa dakshinayanam
Tatra chandra masam jyothih
Yogee prapya nivarthathe

The Southern progress of the Sun ( Dakshinayana, from Cancer to Capricorn), the Dark Fortnight and birth or death during night is considered as the Lunar Path, the Pithru Yana

The Solar and the Lunar Path figure in the Song Celestial, the Geetha. In Vedic Astrology, the Bright Fortnight, 15 days after the New Moon, is considered as positive. The Dark Fortnight, 15 days after the Full Moon, is considered as negative. The Northern Progress of the Sun is considered as positive and Southern Progress is considered as negative. Day is considered as positive and Night as negative.

These two poetic verses mean that birth or death during the positive phases are considered positive. Seers and poets follow the Solar Path ( Sol or Sun represents the Inner Sun, the Absolute Self ) and mundane or worldly people follow the Lunar Path ( Lunar signifies Mind). The mundane are subject to recurrence, that is the cycle of birth, death and rebirth. The Seers who follow the Solar Path ascend and merge in the Absolute Self !

Of Yogis, Sufis, Cabalists & Gnostics

With courage as Father
And Patience as Mother
Peace as the beloved consort
Truth as Son
Compassion as sister
And Psychic Control as brother
With Earth as their home
And Wisdom as Food
They exist; such a class
Are the Yogis, Sufis, Gnostics !

Where everything is One
Where One sees only the One
Where One alone exists per se
Whom should they fear?

This is a translation of the Verse by the great poet Bharthrihari

Dhairyam yasya pitha
Kshama hi janani
Shanti chirak Medini
Sathyam Soonu Rayam
Daya his Bhagini
Bhratha mana samyama
Sayyad bhoomi thalam
Disopa vasnam
Jnanamrutham Bhojanam
Eithe yasya kudumbine vada sakhe
Kasmath Bhayam Yoginah !

Organic Farming

Organic farming can be called as Eco Farming as it is a way of agriculture that preserves the ecosystem. It echews the use of harmful chemicals & fertilizers. Cultured are the Symbiotic life forms & weed & pest control ensured by this method & optimal soil biological activity maintains fertility.

Agriculture in Kerala is caught in between the devil and the deep blue sea. Kerala is going back to her traditional Organic Farming after her hundreds of farmers had learnt the bitter lessons of " Chemical Farming " and mono cropping hitherto practised as " Scientific Agriculture ". The Dept of Agriculture is now promoting the production of Organic Food by launching " Jaiva Kerala " ( The Organic Sustainability of Kerala ). The Confederation of Indian Industry & a few Tourism Groups are branding " Gods's Own Country", as the Tourism Industry calls Kerala, a " Safe Food Destination".

It is paradoxical that the United States , a world leader in transgenic technology, is the largest importer of organic foods, followed by the European Union. The " Organic Craze " is spreading worldwide. The global market for organic herbal plants ( $14 b ) is growing at 20% and will be a $ 5 trillion by 2050 according to the World Health Organisation ( http://www.who.org/ ). The global trade in food supplements and processed herbal medicines is $ 60 billion. Despite her immense potential, India has not benefited much from the export of herbal medicines or organic food. A meagre Rs 90 crores is India's export of organic food while her export of herbal medicine fetches Rs 2300 crores.

Use of bio-fertilisers instead of chemicals is the way of Organic Farming. In Marappanmoola village in Pulpally panchayat of Wayanad district , 454 small and medium farmers in the village owning on an average less than 2 hectares of land have organized themselves & they now cultivate a mixed variety of crops including pepper, coffee, cardamom, coconut, areacanut, tubers, vegetables, cashew nut, nutmeg, rice etc. From the poultry & piggery units, they now collect the wastes and turn them into Biogas for the kitchen and manure for the field. Use the sap of chrysanthemum and marigold for chemical insecticides have become the order of the day.

A Cooperative Society, Highland Farmers’ Cooperative Society, has been formed ( Hicos ) to take on the challenges of conversion from chemical to organic farming by the farmers of Marappanmoola. 500 hectares have been declard to be ‘Organic Farming Zone’. Even now the produce is sold at a hefty 25% premium prices in the domestic market through weekly markets and export enquriries are on the rise. This organic Farm Movement is market driven and the premium price obtainable in the external markets in the future is a major source of inspiration. A 50 grams pack of organic white pepper fetches $ 4 in the U S Market as against $ 1.5 in the domestic market.



Success in Marappanmoola

One of the pioneers of the Organic Farm Movement, Jose K, says that people derisively laughed at the Movement initially. The Movement is now spreading in Wayanad, the home of the famous Kerala spices, especially ginger and black pepper. The other major crops of the District are Tea & Coffee and over 80% of agriculture is dependent on the foreign markets.

Networking is the key to Success of the Movement, as 74% of the cultivated land in Kerala is owned by small farmers. The Self Help Groups now use vermicompost, organic manure and pest control solutions which are made by them. Earlier a shortage of these organic substitutes made them heavily dependent on chemical farming. Even the women engaged in the production and marketing of vegetables keep up the morale and insist on Safe Food in the kitchen.

Another drawback with Chemical Farming was that the soil was destroyed by heavy chemical inputs, when the prices of pepper perked up ( It had gone upto 260 per kilo ). Excessive application of chemicals during that boom reduced soil fertility and wiped out the insects beneficial from the farms so that the average yield of pepper nosedived to 80 kgs per hectare from 500 kg per hectare. Many a farmer committed suicide as a result. Dangerous indeed, in the long run, is chemical farming !

Jaivakeralam - The Organic Sustainability of Kerala

The State Agriculture Department has now conducted 300 training programms to setup Collection Centers for Organic Produce. Not only the farmers and consumers have to be educated but also the scientific "elite", the bureaucrats and the technologists, as " the indifferent attitude of the Scientific Community " has been recognised as a major impediment in the State Policy Document.

A Research Station at Aralam in Cannanore, 3 zonal sub-centers and regional labs with facilities for soil and produce residue analysis has been planned by the Government under the Jaivakerlam Programme. Development of the domestic market for Organic Foods through a chain of supermarkets and a gradual withdrawing of State support on chemical inputs etc has been planned. The Government's role is that of the faciliator, forming farmers' producing companies to manage the affairs by themselves. Three Districts, Wynad, Idukki and Palghat will be declared as Organic Farming Zones. Crops which will be highlighted will be the scented rice varieties of Wynad, Malabar spices and several types of tubers. More information can be gathered at Kerala Govt's official site http://www.kissankerala.net/

There are doubting Thomases who argue against the whole Movement. S Usha of Thana, a green ( environment group who had been in the forefront of combating against aerial spraying of Endosulphan in the cashew plantations of Kerala, doubt whether the thrust on export & international certification will reduce the whole exercise to contract farming for global agri businesses.

If the sale of chemical inputs through measures such as a prescription system is restricted legally, it will do a world of good for Organic Farming. Plants should be treated as human beings.

Organic versus Transgenic

It is Organic Farming vs Transgenic Technology which is the crucial issue in Kerala Agriculture. The Task Force on Application of Biotechnology has suggested conserving " Organic Farming Zones " and at the same time promotes Transgenic Tech ! This has attracted criticism from experts who argue that the two forms of Agriculture cannot coexist together.

Even though organic agriculture accounts for a negligible portion of the country's total farm produce, India's organic farm produce has already found markets abroad. The Indian Govt has declared only 5347 farms covering 37050 hectares as Organic, despite much of the country practising the traditional system of Organic Farming.

Research shows the Organic Farming ensures better yield and fetches more income. A paper by David Tilman in Nature 396 showed that not only were the yields of organic maize as high as those of maize grown with fertilizers & pesticides, but the soil quality in the organic fields improved dramatically. Field trials in Hertfordshire reported consistently higher yeilds of wheat with bio manure. Farmers in India, Kenya, Brazil & Gautemala have tripled yields by switing to Organic Farming, accordin to Prof Jules Pretty of Essex University.

The three final stages of Becoming !

Man is given a choice by the All Wise Energy. Man can choose any path and the three major paths are,

Upward Movement
Arrested status
Downward lapse

The upward movement is the master movement of Nature. It is that which pulls us from Death to Immortality and realises in this body of earth the luminous Kingdom of Heaven.

The arrested status is a state where there is not much spiritual progress. Man is satisfied with material achievements, which do not give everlasting happiness. If perfect, it is only a transient perfection.

The downward lapse is coming down to the level of animals.

These three states are known in Transcendental Philosophy as Uttama, Madhyama and Adhama. As we choose, the Lord shall fulfill Himself in us.

These are the secret of the Vedas, the secret words, Ninya Vachamsi, sage wisdoms which utter their inner meaning to the Seer. The Secret words spoken to the purified in Soul and awakened in Knowledge.

Rather arise, transcend thyself, become thyself, the whole nature of man is to be more than himself. We find that every state of existence has a force which drives to transcend itself.

Of Universal Love

The Seers sang the glory of Universal Love
Love was highlighted in Poetry
In Brahma Sutra and Upanishads
Universal Love is all in all !

Those who follow Wisdom & Love
And renounce the fruit of all action
They tear asunder the knot of Samsara
And reach the State Eternal !

This has been revealed to thee
To thy discriminative intellect
Know that this is the Path Celestial
Which the Wise Ones tread !

Of Positive and Negative Qualities !

Pride, arrogance and Vanity
Anger, roughness all these
Are negative qualities; Ignorance
And vaingloriousness too !

The negative qualities are called
Asuri Sampath, they bind the soul
To the sublunar world

In Mythology they are depicted
As Asuras, demons, fiends
Who bind Man to Hell
To Peacelessness and Misery.

Truth, righteousess, peace, Love
And the intellect discriminative
These are the major qualities five
Known as Daivi Sampat
They are the Five Pandavas !

Positive qualities liberate
Negative qualities do bind

Pride , strength, vanity
Lust, anger and Ego
The Renunciant has to renounce these
In order to be eligible
For Self Actualisation, the Goal !

The aspirant, established in the Self,
Never is sorrowful nor elated
Seeing the Absolute Self in all
He gets the unalloyed Universal Love

Only via Universal Love canst thou know Me
Knowing this the wise ones transcend !

Seated in the hearts of all am I
Ethics, Cognition all flow from Me !
I am He whom the fourfold Veds seek to know
I am the revealer of the Vedanta !

Transience of sensory pleasures !

All these pleasures sensory
Contain with them seed of Sorrow !
They have a beginning and an end
The wise indulge not in them !

This plane of Sorrow can be overcome
By Equanimity of Mind !
The sinless Absolute dwells in Unity
And the Seers also in the Absolute

Know that Veda is triune
Be without the triune attributes !
Without dualities, without attributes three
Without thoughts of welfare material !

Nature is composed of three
Attributes; satwas, rajas, thamas
Divinity, humanity, bestiality
Know Nature to be threefold !
In Freud Id, Ego, Superego,
In Ayur, Vata, Pitta and Kapha
In Christianity Father, Son, Holy Ghost,
In Hinduism, Om, Tat, Sat
The Threefold Deity of Godhead !
In Wisdom, Life, Mind and Matter
The Lower Trilogy of Truth
Existence, Consciousness, Beatitude
The Higher Trilogy of Truth !
All represented by the Hexagram
With its two great triangles
The upward pointing triangle
The Higher Trilogy of Truth
The downward pointing triangle
The Lower Trilogy of Truth
The Lower Trilogy being
Instrument of Being-Knowledge-Bliss!

The Intuitive Sciences, the ornament of Hearing !

Donating is the ornament of the Hand
Truth is the ornament of Speech
The scientia intuitiva is the ornament of Hearing
All these should combine in the Initiate !

Hastasya bhooshanam danam
Kandasya bhooshanam satyam
Srothasya bhooshanam sastram
Bhooshanai kim karothi !

Wisdom is conferror of Fame !

Wisdom is the teacher of teachers & the only bestower of
immortal fame.






Veiled wealth is Wisdom, the only true wealth

The sole conferror of Fame absolute, the Guru of Gurus !

The only relative one can rely, the greatest Celestial
Deity,

All bow before Her Majesty, Saint, Savage & Sage !

The philosophic sources of Evolution

Even though the world knows that Charles Darwin was the founder of the Law of Evolution, it was his grandfather Dr Erasmus Darwin, who first promulgated the concept in his book, Zoonomia.

He was the founder of the Lunar Society in 1764. The members met monthly at the time of the Full Moon and hence the name. The group consisted of intellectuals like Ben Franklin, Mathew Boulton, James Watt etc.

Dr Erasmus wrote Zoonomia in which he expounded the doctrine of evolution. Another scientist John Locke propounded the Law of Evolution, deriving it from the Hindu doctrine of Reincarnation or Metempsychosis.

This doctrine of Metempsychosis or Reincarnation was taken to England by the East India Company. The British Royal Society endorsed it. John Locke studied Metempsychosis and developed his evolutionary ideas.

Indian Mythology has it that the First Incarnation of the Lord was as a Fish, symbolising the evolutionary principle that Life came from the sea and that our primordial ancestors were aquatic.

The Law of Evolution is related to the Law of Becoming. The Human Man evolves into the Divine Man, by the process of evolution. There is an evolution of Consciousness behind the evolution of the species.

Eugenics, the self direction of human Evolution !

Eugenics was founded by Sir Francis Galton, a cousin of Darwin. Eu means good and gene born, meaning that good human beings can be produced.

Shaw said man is a failure as a political animal and that there is necessity of starting a new race.

Eugenics is a system of Social Philosophy which advocates the betterment of human heredity. Eugenics has been regarded by many as an altruistic stance of society, to create healthier and more intelligent people and a saver of resources.

Eugenics is highly controversial. Proponents of Eugenics include Shaw, Margaret Sanger, H W Wells, Keynes, Kellog and Emile Zola.

Eugenics proposed means of achieving these goals are selective breeding, genetic engineering, genetic counseling & in vitro fertilization.

The final objective of Philosophy !

The final goal of Philosophy is the unfoldment of the Ultimate Truth. Philosophy normally provides an intellectual coviction which falls short of the direct realisation of Absolute Truth.

Vedanta is not a science which deals with intellectual abstractions, even though intellectual abstractions from the basis of all philosophy.

If Vedanata is the Science of Being, then Yoga is the Art of Living. Intellectual conviction alone is not necessary for Self Actualisaton. An aspirant has to undergo rigorous Yogic sadhana to arrive at Truth, under the guidance of a bona fide Divine Master, who himself has undergone the inner war and actualised Truth within himself.

The Maya of transcendental philosophy !

The male component of the Ultimate is Brahman
The female component is Maya.

Brahman and Maya, Purusha and Prakriti, Shiva and Shakti - these are the male and female components of the Ultimate in Indian Philosophy.

Brahman is Absolute
She is Relative
Brahman is Infiite
She is finite
Brahman is Formless
She is all forms
Brahman is One
She is Innumerable
Brahman is Being
She is Becoming

She is not the Absolute Evil of the Western conception ( Satan ). She is the prius of the phenomenal world, the Enchantress of resources infinite. She embodies Science, as Science is knowledge of the Relative. She is the fountainhead of unreason and irrationality.

Science kills Nescience (Knowledge of Brahman kills Ignorance).

Unlike Satan, She carries within Herself the secret of her death!

Brahman, the Absolute became the Lord and She became the Mother Divine. This is the symbolism behind the religions of India !

She is the Veil Divine which hides the Lord, as per His statement

Piercing the Veil Divine of phenomenality
Which hideth Me is difficult indeed.
But those who consecrate to Me
Pierce it and pass beyond !

Vedanta, the Science of Being !

The systematised knowledge of Nature is Science. All sciences study Being.

For instance, physics is the science of Being as Matter. Maths, the science of Being as Number. Chemistry, the science of Being as qualities etc. But the Scientia Prima, Vedanta, studies Being as Being, in its pure state.

Many have walked the Path of Self Actualisation. Many have intuited Truth. Their experiences of Absolute Truth have been recorded as the Upanishads, as the Kabalah, as Geetha etc. These experiences of Truth are called Sruthi ( Vedas ).

In order to actualise Truth, a threefold criterion of Truth has been promulgated.

The experiences of the Seers of Wisdom ( Sruthi )
Logic ( Yukti )
Self Realisation ( Atmanubhoothi )

Aurobindo actualised Absolute Truth, only to know that what he actualised was exactly as it was described in the Upanishads !

Reason is undoubtedly a helpful guide and when it is supplanted by a suprarational Intuition, Truth becomes experiential.

Reason is symbolised as male and Intuition as female. In the Divine Comedy, Dante represents the male intellect and Beatrice, female Intuition.

The great hold of Vedanta upon the intelligentia all over the world is due to a mingling of Intuition and Reason.

The Ashtavakra Geetha is a great Vedantic treatise. King Janaka, a philosopher King, is initiated into the mysteries of Vedanta by Ashtavakra, a Seer. Ashtavakra tells him that all this is a mirage of the Mind and that the Absolute Self is the only Reality.

That Consciousness Bliss Thou art
Upon whom this Universe is superimposed !
Like the blueness in the sky
Know that and be ever happy !

Watch the latest videos on YouTube.com

The Universe follows the Laws of the Self !

Man follows the laws of the Earth
Earth follows the laws of Heaven
Heaven follows the laws of the Self
And Self follows the laws of His intrinsic nature !

All mysticism points out that the Inner Reality is hidden.

An Indian mystic by the name of Bodhidharma travelled to China and Dhyan ( Meditation ) became the Chinese Ch'an and the Japanese Zen ! Zen followers worship the metaphysical entity ( Bodhi Dharma ) which to them represents the Absolute Bodhi Essence. The Chinese share this doctrine of Absolute Bodhi Essence with the Indian Buddhist tradition !

Education, a Self Development Process !

Education is derived from Educare, which means to develop from within. So it is a Self Development Process.

What Nature has kept and buried

Is the Immortal, Unborn Self !

The unfolding of this Self

Is the purpose of Education

Education, therefore, is not indoctrination, but a gradual self developmental process, which can take man to the Ultimate Summit of Self Actulisation

Education indeed is Immortal ( Amritham Thu Vidya ).

Thou art Education

Thou Art That to be Known

Thou Art the Form of Education

.. thus sang the Seers of the Veda

Vidyas Thvam

Veda Roopasthwam

Vedaneeyasthvam Eva Cha

The Lord is the Alpha and the Omega, the starting point of the ignorant and the Crown of the Scientist !

The New Age or the Age of Aquarius !

The New Age has arrived ! The New Age of Aquarius, with its resplendent promise of Scientific Enlightenment !

Hair's song announced the Age of Aquarius




When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars!

This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

The Vernal Equinox precedes one degree in every 72 years. The Vernal Equinoctial Point after moving through Pisces is now in Aquarius, ushering in a scientific Age of Enlightenment.

Gone are the dogmas which graced the Piscean Age. The Dark Ages were characterised by the Piscean Age, where the dogmas of Theology dominated mankind. Bruno was burnt alive, Galileo arrested, Darwin and Russell persecuted.

The New Age of Aquarius will usher in an area of Peace and prosperity. Let us hope that there will be a World Government and a World Church where all can pray and live in peace !

The Net itself is a boon of the New Age. The Information Age, the Age of the Internet, is another synonym for New Age !

The Science of the Base of all that is, the Absolute is the basic Science, the fundamental Science, the supreme Science, the Master Science. Now the NAM ( New Age Movement ) has the message of Absolute Unity behind it and is secular & universally diffused over the earth’s surface. & its basic underlying philosophy emphasises Divine Unity & Gnosticism. Gnosticism is an ancient philosophy stating that Divine essence is the highest reality, and that the Self of man is actually this Essence. Behind the phenomenal world is the Transcendent Reality which Intuition alone can see ). It bears a remarkable resemblance to the Universal Religion that H.G. Wells
predicted would one day take over the world.

New Age - A Universal Philosophy

NAM is a regeneration of divine values and has conquered the West intellectually. Western culture is currently experiencing a phenomenal shift - sociological, spiritual & ideological. It's a secular, multi-cultural, multi-religious synthesis, of the Oriental mystical philosophies, mainly Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism & Western Occultism, emphasising Holism, the doctrine that Reality is organically One ( now taught in American Universities after Einstein's Theory of Relativity ). The New Paradigm is Monism ( All is One ), Pantheism ( All is Divine ) & Holism ( The Whole is Real ). Holistic Medicine, Transcendental Meditation, Yoga, Zen, Pranic Therapy, Tantra, Astrology, Numerology, Gemology, Vedic Foods etc are all New Age practices ! There are 6.3 million New Age websites ! The East and the West, the vertical and the horizontal means of gaining knowledge have met and have become One !

David Williams declared that the Aquarian Age arrived in 1844, with the dawn of the Babism Movement. According to him the Aquarian Age is associated with three decans, Libra, Gemini and Aquarius. We are in the Libran decan of the Aquarian Age. That explains why the world has been affected by wars, due to Libra and revolutions, due to Aquarius. Socialism, Communism, Humanism etc are products of the New Age. The massive influx of technology is associated due to Aquarius. Also Enlightenment. The Industrial Revolution, the Computer and the Cybernetic Revolution are also attributable to the Age of Aquarius. People will become more impersonal, but will be more humane and altruistic. Revelation of Truth and Expansion of Consciousness are the hallmarks of the New Age

Almost one billion believe in Astrology and more than 4 billion believe in Philosophy ! NAM will unite all under a World Government, a World Religion, a World Currency ( the globo ) & a World Market !

The Eightfold Verse about the Master !

Sankara, the Apostle of Oneness, had prescribed the Fourfold Yoga for Cosmic
Union. He advocated the traditional Method of studying under a Guru
for Self Actualisation. Mortals consider Self Actualisation to be a " so
elusive and so distant a Goal", but the effort is worth it as the Divine
Crown is indeed priceless !

He composed poems, the Eightfold Verse about the Master ( Dakshina Moorthy
Ashatakam ), extolling the Lord who had come to him in the form of the
Master. Indian tradition holds that the Master is the representative of the
Lord, or rather the Lord Himself !

The six main Sciences and the six auxiliary sciences are difficult to comprehend.
One can go on learning these Sastras. There is so much symbolism concealed in Mythology, Poetry and Art.

There are two types of meaning - the outer and the inner ( Bahya abhyantara bhedath dwivida ).

The stories of Krishna, Rama, Jesus we all know. The inner meaning is known to none. Why did the great poets write such mythologic stories? Behind these stories they concealed great mystic truths. These mystic truths are known only to the Iniitiate, to the Guru and it is the Guru who imparts the mystic essence to the student ! For instance, the ten heads of the demon Ravana symbolise Lust, greed, anger, pride, jealousy, gluttony, mind, intellect, subconscient & Ego, which have to be annihilated for Self Actualisation !

Unto Him, who is indeed all this
Who has manifested as the Triad
Universe, Ego, Supreme Relative
As the Teacher Supreme to teach
Verities divine ineffable
The Lord of Wisdom great
The Lustrous Form facing South
Unto Him, be this millionfold saluation !

The Hymn of the Kundalini !

This is the best music video of Devi Sooktham or the Hymn of the Kundalini.

The Mother Divine exists in her microcosmic form as the Kundalini, the Serpent Power coiled in humans. When She rises to the Crown Chakra, Man experiences Cosmic Consciousness !

Her rise is the object of all Yoga and Tantra. Listening to this magnificent Music video is conducing to Cosmic Consciousness. This song is sung by that Master Singer, Anuradha Podwal.

There were two people, one a businessman and another a King, who both lost their businesses. They wandered lone in a forest and met the Great Seer Markandeya. Markandeya comforted them saying that there was nothing to worry about. " This world is ephemeral and evanescent. Therefore seek thy Self " is the message of Vedic Philosophy ( Anithyam asukham lokam imam prapya bhajaswamam )


Both of them became mystics . The Wisdom of Transcendence was imparted to them by Markandeya, who was a master of all the 12 Positive sciences.

She is the Shakti who transforms the physical mentality of Man to her supramentality. She is the Force associated with Consciousness, the Relative of the Absolute, the Finite related to the Infinite, the Determinate associated with the Indeterminate. She is the all in all. " All this is Me " She says" and there is nothing existing outside Me " ( Sarvam Khalvidam Evaham Nanyadasthi Sanathanam ).

A luminous heart of the Unknown is She
A power of Silence in the depths of God
She is the Force, the inevitable Word,
The magnet of our difficult ascent
The Sun from which we kindle all our Suns,
The Light that gleams from the unrealised Vasts
The Joy that beckons us from the Impossible ( Aurobindo ).

She is the Creatrix, She is the dispensatrix, She is the Mediatrix and the Executrix of the absolute machanism of Universal Justice. Listening to this Music Video can definitely awaken our Kundalini !
