The prophecies of Nostradamus
The
Eternal Light Within
"Beneath
the earth of the holy Lady the faint voice heard,
Human
flame seen to shine as divine:
It
will cause the earth to be stained with the blood of the
lone ones (monks),
And
to destroy the holy temples for the impure ones.
Century
4:24
Within
the most fundamental aspects of the world which is affected
by the presence of religion,
A
holy feminine presence will be heard as a gentle but
important voice.
This
very human flame will be seen to shine in divine light.
Its
presence will cause the world and all who live in it to be
changed in a fundamental way
Which
will include the death of the dominance of male religious
influence."

Women
(Manuela Dunn
Mascetti and Peter Lorie, Nostradamus: Prophecies for
Women, Simon & Schuster, 1995, p. 101.)
Beneath
the earth of the Holy Lady the faint Voice heard,
This
is yet another uncanny prediction of Nostradamus that is
precise in its manifestation and leaves no room for
misinterpretation. Manuela Dunn Mascetti and Peter Lorie
explain that in recent years there have been many divine
visions of the Virgin Mary signifying a kind of "Second
Coming." These significantly feminine visions,
literally hundreds the world over, in the narrow sense point
to the Catholic "Mother of God." Broadly it
signifies the return of the ancient Mother Goddess. In both
instances they are correct. The Divine Feminine has
manifested Herself on Earth. Nostradamus mentions that it is the Earth of the Holy
Lady. The Earth is revered as a Mother by many tribes and
this belief was widespread thousands of years before any
religious regime appeared. The patriarchal religions make no
mention that Earth is the Mother which sustains all life.
Thus, "the earth of the Holy Lady" refers to a
Universal Matriarch or Mother Goddess.
Her
faint voice is being heard above the deafening din of
babbling brahmins, gibbering priests, chattering monks, and
muttering mullahs. It is now heard above this din of mad fundamentalists who rave and rant of salvation
that will be delivered exclusively by their religion
when billions of corpses spring out of ancient graves like
zombies in a horror movie.
This faint feminine Voice is telling humans to
free themselves of dogma and become masters of their
spiritual destiny by seeking the Almighty Creator and His
Kingdom within. She is informing them to seek the
Inner Guide within and feel Truth on their central
nervous system. She is revealing to them how to trigger the
final evolutionary process that is in-built, that is within
their being. She is teaching them to seek salvation within
themselves, completely free from all external
restrictions, misidentifications and falsehood.
The 10 Adi Gurus who walked
on Earth
"This
great Brahma Shakti is at your lotus feet.
Perhaps Sahaja Yogis do not realize what they have
achieved. The only difference between a Adi Guru and
a Guru, Satguru I would say, is this — that
the Adi Guru knows that He is the controlling Power.
He knows He is with absolute oneness with the Brahmatatwa
, with the Cosmic. The authority with which He talks,
the complete confidence with which he says things there is
no doubt in any one of His teachings. He is saying,
"Verily I say to you . . ." That confidence that
"I am the Brahmatattwa", that "I am
the Brahma", and that "I am controlling all
that Tattwa", makes them a prophet because
whatever He says or prophesies is the Truth. Whatever He
says about the past is the Truth and He knows that He has no
doubts. The authority with which Moses talked, authority
with which Socrates talked, authority with which Lao-tze
talked. All these great Adi Gurus from Adi Nath to
Sai Nath, they didn’t say, "If you do this would be
good or that would be good." "No! this is what it
is — you better do it. This is what it is."
But
in Modern Times those Gurus might not work out. That
is why a Mother had to come — first to give Realization .
. . Your Mother is the Mother of all the Adi Gurus. She is the One who taught all the
Adi Gurus. She
created the Adi Gurus. She will create out of you the Adi
Guru."

'The following article is from "The
Avatar Par Excellence" published by the Om Sakthi
Spiritual Movement.'
"The Meaning of Avatar:
The term 'AVATAR' means one who was
descended, but descended from where and to what? It means descended from
Godliness to human form. Avatar means those who descended to Earth from
the Spiritual world for the establishment of Dharma, preservation of the
human race and promulgation of Sastra. Avatar means the person who
descends, as a fully or partially empowered incarnation of Divine Mother
Adhiparasakthi, from the spiritual realm for a particular mission. An
Avatar is also called a Savior, that is a person who saves or rescues
mankind from the danger of deterioration. When a savior appears on this
Earth all are saved through his grace.
Whenever
virtue subsides and wickedness prevails; whenever there is unrighteousness or
Adharma and whenever there is catastrophe and unrest in the world; the Divine
Mother manifests Herself. That is, Adhiparasakthi comes down to this earth, or
physical plane, to establish virtue and Dharma and to destroy the evil and
save the good. When She comes down to the physical plane She takes human form
and is called an Avatar or Incarnation.

An
Avatar is also called a Messenger of Divine Mother because an Avatar transmits
pure unselfish Divine Love from the Divine Mother to man and gives a taste of
the unadulterated nectar of heavenly bliss to the arid souls scorched by the
fire of worldliness. The all-pervading Mother Adhiparasakthi who is Truth,
Consciousness and Bliss, by Her special grace manifests Herself as a common
being during the Avatar period. During this period the Divine mother assumes a
human form and manifests Herself to set an example of Divine Life before us in
this world. It is Her peculiarity that she, in spite of being boundless,
becomes very small.
The
Avatar or Incarnation of Adhiparasakthi descends from the Spiritual world for
material manifestation. The particular form of personality of Divine Mother
who descends is called an Incarnation or Avatar. Such incarnations are
situated in the Spiritual World. When they descend to the material creation
they assume a common name Avatar.

For the long ages of the Paleolithic
era, the Goddess reigned alone. She was the Origin, the Virgin Void
out of which She was Self-created. She was present in all forms of
life.
|
The
Avatar assumes various names and forms such as Rama, Krishna, Christ, etc at
various places in various times, but all are the same Adhiparasakthi. All the
Avatars that have come to this world are one and the same Adhiparasakthi. The
Supreme personality of Godhead, Adhiparasakthi takes various incarnations and
many sub-incarnations as well, but she is the original personality of Godhead
known as Adhiparasakthi and She incarnates personally also.
Adhiparasakthi,
although one without a second, manifests Herself in innumerable forms. All
these multifarious forms are understood by the pure unalloyed devotees, but
not by a simple study of the Vedas. Devotees are constant companions of Divine
Mother and whenever Divine Mother incarnates, the associate devotees also
incarnate in order to serve the Divine Mother in different capacities. The
Divine Mother works through them and propagates the religion. The associate
devotees spend their lifetimes assisting the Avatar and work for the welfare
of the Jivas. However, there is a difference between the Divine Mother and the
Devotees. Therefore, a living entity, however great he may be in the material
estimation, can never equal the Supreme Mother. Anyone who is a constant
companion of the Divine Mother is certainly a liberated person but he cannot
be equal to the Divine Mother.

(Turya
[262nd]: The Fourth. This state is beyond the
three states mentioned above (259. Taijasatmika;
260. Supta; and 261. Prajnatmika). This
has to be gone into by conscious efforts only, from
wakeful state. Here the mind has no ideation, neither
sees, nor hears nor knows anything and is called Bhuma.)
|
The
Divine Mother is infallible, in that she never forgets Herself even though she
is in material contact. Therefore, the Divine Mother and the living entity can
never be equal in all respects, even if the living entity is a liberated soul.
As such, when the Avatar comes, with him are born liberated persons as helpers
in his world-play. However, only Avatars have the power to displace the
darkness of a million souls and give them salvation in one lifetime. This is
known as grace.
A
devotee of the Divine Mother sometimes forgets the nature of the Divine
Mother, but by divine grace, a devotee can at once understand the infallible
condition of the Divine Mother. However, a non-devotee cannot understand this
transcendental nature.
It
may also be noted here that a living entity forgets everything due to his
change of body, but the Divine Mother remembers because she does not change
Her Sat-Chit-Ananda body. She is advaita, which means that there is no
distinction between Her body and Herself. Everything in relation to Her is
spirit, whereas the conditioned soul is different from his material body.
Because the Divine Mother's body and self are identical, Her position is
always different from that of the ordinary living entity, even when She
descends to the material world.
How
to know an Avatar:
Truth
and love absolute are the essence of the divine. In an Avatar, we find the
expression and exposition of the Love of God. Know for certain that God is
incarnate in a man in whom the Love of God is surging, overflowing and all
absorbing (this maddening sentiment of life). Such teachers of spiritual truth
are always the fairest flowers of human life and they are the ocean of mercy
without any motive.
One
can attain realization of God through worship of the Avatar. Divine Mother
reveals Herself to Her devotees in a variety of ways. She assumes the very
form that the devotee has chosen for his worship. If you worship Her as
Adhiparasakthi, she will come to you as Adhiparasakthi. If you worship Her as
Christ, she will come to you as Christ. If you worship Her as Allah, she will
come to you as Allah. If you worship Her as Krishna or Buddha, she will come
to you as Krishna or Buddha.
“Great
Mother Goddess,
in ancient Middle Eastern religions, mother goddess, the great symbol
of the earth's fertility. She was worshipped under many names and
attributes. Similar figures have been known in every part of the
world. Essentially she was represented as the creative force in all
nature, the mother of all things, responsible particularly for the
periodic renewal of life. The later forms of her cult involved the
worship of a male deity, variously considered her son, lover, or both
(e.g., Adonis, Attis, and Osiris), whose death and resurrection
symbolized the regenerative powers of the earth. Although the Great
Mother was the dominant figure in ancient Middle Eastern religions,
she was also worshiped in Greece, Rome, and W Asia. In Phrygia and
Lydia she was known as Cybele; among the Babylonians and Assyrians she
was identified as Ishtar; in Syria and Palestine she appeared as
Astarte; among the Egyptians she was called Isis; in Greece she was
variously worshiped as Gaea, Hera, Rhea, Aphrodite, and Demeter; and
in Rome she was identified as Maia, Ops, Tellus, and Ceres. Even this
listing, however, is by no means complete. Many attributes of the
Virgin Mary make her the Christian equivalent of the Great Mother,
particularly in her great beneficence, in her double image as mother
and virgin, and in her son, who is God and who dies and is
resurrected."

|
|
All
are aspects of one Adhiparasakthi. Under whatever name and form, it is
Adhiparasakthi who is adored. Worship goes to She who dwells within. It is
ignorance to think that one form is superior to another. All forms are one and
the same. All are adoring the same Divine Mother. The differences are only due
to differences of name and due to the differences in the worshiper, but not in
the object of adoration. The real Adhiparasakthi or Allah or Jesus or Krishna
is in your own heart. She lives there forever. She is your Indweller. She is
your partner always. There is no friend like the Indweller (Antharayamin).
Resort to Her. Take Refuge in Her. Realize Her and be free.
Some
people want to have contact with Avatars without being endowed with proper
qualifications. Even if an Avatar appears before you, you will not be able to
find him out. You don't have the eyes to see him as such. You will take him
for an ordinary man only. . . .
If
you are endowed with the four means of salvation; if you have Vairagya; if you
possess forgiveness and patience; if you have devotion, you can contact and
realize the Avatars and sages right this second. If you can serve humanity; if
you can obey; if you can be generous; if you can have endless devotion to the
Divine Mother, then you will have self-realization this very second and you
will contact Avatars, Adepts and Incarnations this very second. First deserve
and then desire.
Aim
of Manifestation:
“In the
beginning was the Mother.
As far back as 30,000 years ago, the people of the earth worshipped
a female deity. In cultures around the world, the Goddess has been
revered in myriad forms, in temple and grove, cathedral and cave.
She has been celebrated and venerated through ritual, myth, and art.
These pages serve as introduction to some of the 10,000 names of the
Goddess, and offer links to other web pages and resources where you
can find more information about Goddess spirituality and mythology.
The path of Goddess is not defined or laid down in dogma. It is a
living, daily connection with sacredness. There is literally no end
to the ways in which you can find and honor Goddess. The Goddess is
Gaia, the earth … Ix Chel, the moon … Arianrhod, the stars. She
is Oya, who brings the storms, and she is Mary, who calms them. She
is Nut, who births creation, and Kali, who destroys it. She is
maiden, mother, queen and crone. She is lover and spinster, warrior
and sibyl, nurturer and judge.
Once She has called your name,
you are Hers forever.”

Adhiparasakthi,
The Supreme Brahman, manifests Herself in order to protect the good because
they destroy unrighteousness and propagate righteousness. The good are those
who are naturally inclined towards the good of others, who remember and chant
the name, form, qualities and glories of Adhiparasakthi, the Divine Mother and
propagate them among people while depending on Her. He whose only aim is
realization of God is good while those who hanker after worldly pleasures and
property are not good.
Those
who because of so many desires remain absorbed in vices such as falsehood,
fraud, deception, dishonesty, etc; who exploit the virtuous; who remain
engaged in doing evil to others; who don't know what ought to be done and what
ought not to be done; who always condemn God and the Scriptures; such persons
of demonic nature have been called wicked. The wicked propagate
unrighteousness and destroy righteousness so the Divine Mother Adhiparasakthi
manifests Herself for the destruction of such wicked people.
The
Avatar comes to this world with a particular mission which is the main
objective of the Avatar called Avatara Nokkam. The Avatar preaches many things
and waits for the time to fulfill the main objective. In the meantime other
things required for the fulfillment of the main objective are completed. Such
things as the training of various cadre of people to perform and complete the
main objectives are done step by step without overruling the Theory of Karma
as far as possible. During this period some of the minor objectives are also
carried out and completed. As soon as the main objective is completed the
Avatar goes back to the kingdom of God that is
Sukshma world, in the
predetermined way.
Cause
and Occasion of Her Manifestation:.
The figure must have represented some
mythic personage so well-known to the period that the reference of
the elevated horn would have been as readily understood as, say, in
India, a lotus in the hand of the goddess Shri Lakshmi, or in the
West, a child at the breast of the Virgin. (Joseph Campbell, The
Way of the Animal Powers.)

Whenever
and wherever there is decline in religious practice and a predominant rise of
irreligion, Adhiparasakthi descends Herself. When there is decline of
righteousness and a rise of unrighteousness, She manifests Herself for the
destruction of the wicked and the establishment of true righteousness. Thus,
if necessary, She manifests Herself in different forms at this time. However,
she manifests herself only as and when there is need for Her manifestation.
There
is a decline of righteousness from the Satya Yuga, or Golden Age, to
Treta Age, Dvapara Age and Kali Age respectively. In the Satya Age,
Dharma, or righteousness, flourishes. In Treta Age the decline begins and
becomes rapid in Dvapara Age. In Kali Age, the most evil of the ages,
unrighteousness or Adharma prevails. In this age the Godhead, the Divine
Mother, manifests Herself for the establishment of righteousness.
There
is descent of Divine Mother for the ascent of Man. As an Avatar, She puts on a
fleshly body out of Her own free will for the upliftment of mankind. She is
quite independent and has absolute control over Maya. Meanwhile, Jiva, men,
are slaves of Avidya, or Maya, so long as they have no self-realization. She
is completely free to act in many ways at Her will and has no obligation to
adhere to such rules and regulations. Therefore, She appears by Her own will
whenever there is irreligiousity and a disappearance of true religion. It is a
recognized fact that from time to time messengers and incarnations of the
Almighty Adhiparasakthi are born on earth to shed the light of righteousness
and dispel the darkness of evil and injustice.
“The
harrassment of hard times upon an increasingly witless populace
hastens its moral and spiritual decline. People begin to slaughter
animals for food; they become more and more enslaved by drugs; they
lose all sexual restraint. These habits further their physical and
mental deterioration. Vyasa watches them sink deeper annd deeper
into sensuality and ignorance. Families break up, and women and
children are abandoned. Increasingly degraded generations, conceived
accidentally in lust and growing up wild, swarm over the earth.
Leadership falls into the hands unprincipled criminals who use their
power to loot the people. The world teems with ideologues,
mystagogues, fanatics, and spiritual bunko atrists who win huge
followings among a people dazed by social and moral anarchy.
Unspeakable depravities and atrocities flourish under a rhetoric of
high ideals.
It is interesting, by the way, that the Vedic date assigned to the
advent of Kali-yuga (c. 3000 BC) corresponds closely to the date set
by modern historians for the rise of civilized life, an event signaled
by the appearance of literacy and the emergence of complex urban societies.
All that historians recognize as recorded human history is, in fact,
only human history in Kali-yuga. The academic historians' ignorance
of the earlier and incalculably higher Vedic civilization is what we
have to expect from people suffering from the mental retardation
imposed by the times. We see symptoms of this intellectual
degradation of modern thinkers in their avowal that sense perception
is the only source of knowledge and in their obliviousness to the
dependence of knowledge upon goodness. Inverted values warp their
ideas, such as the conviction that human progress resides in the
proliferation of complex urban societies and increasingly
sophisticated technology.
They are unaware that simple living is the best basis for high
thinking, and that a truly advanced civilization minimizes
exploitation of nature and social complexity. They do not know that
the real standard of progress is the caliber of the people it
produces. If we pursue material advancement at the expense of
self-realization, measuring our standard of living only by the
gratification of our senses, then we will only get a spiritually and
morally debilitated people in control of an intricate and powerful
technology--a terrifying combination that leads to horrors on a
scale we are just beginning to experience.”

Dharma
is the base on which the edifice of life is built and the Divine Mother takes
it as Her special mission to see that it does not decay. Whenever Dharma is
assailed, She incarnates to set an example to the world and remove the hurdles
in the path of Dharma or righteousness. Whenever there is a setback in Dharma
it becomes the primary concern of the Divine Mother to re-infuse and
revitalize the vigor into Dharma.
In
assuming birth, Divine Mother does not abrogate Her intrinsic nature of being
the birth less and deathless Mother of all existence. Her fundamental
infinitude of perfections undergoes no diminution the process of incarnation.
The form She assumes, the body in which She incarnates, is a particular
configuration of Her own radiant and transcendental form, untouched by Rajas
Tamas. It is material in so far as it transcends to the taints of terrestrial
matter. In time of crisis, for the moral regeneration of the world, the
grounds for Divine incarnation are not the necessity of Karma but free resolve
transcending it.
The
re-establishment of Dharma is accomplished in two ways. Firstly, the righteous
ones on earth who are languishing for want of direct communion with Divine
Mother, the object of their loving adoration, are granted the vision they long
for, by Divine Mother in Her incarnate form. They are thus rescued from their
spiritual affliction and sustained by the life-giving grace of Divine
Communion. Secondly, those who are evil and antagonistic to the call of the
Divine, are released through apparent destruction to get a new embodiment
favorable to their turning Divine. The essence of righteousness is love of
God, which is fostered by the self-revelation of God through the Avatar.
What
is Unrighteousness?
When
the righteous, innocent, weak, pious and spiritual people are exploited by the
unrighteous, cruel, strong, wicked and mundane people and when moral values
are lost and morality prevails: that state is the state of decline of
righteousness and the rise of unrighteousness. When there is a decline of
righteousness and a rise of unrighteousness, by God's order, saints come to
the earth and true strivers are revealed. They both work to reestablish
righteousness. Sometimes liberated souls, who have realized God, come to earth
as representatives of God to help the people attain salvation. Where there are
such strivers and saints, there is neither so much decline of righteousness,
nor so much rise of unrighteousness, as in other places where there are
neither strivers nor saints. When people don't follow the teachings of
strivers and saints, but start to kill them, leaving only a few righteous
persons to propagate righteousness, there is a decline in righteousness and
Adhiparasakthi, the Brahman, manifests Herself.
What
is Irreligious?
The
principles of religion are laid down in the Vedas and any discrepancy in the
matter of properly executing the rules of the Vedas makes one irreligious.
Establishment
of Dharma or Righteousness:
A prehistoric cave
painting from Central India depicting the Mother as Goddess.
|
Because
unrighteousness propagates due to the performance of actions with a selfish
motive and attachment to the unreal, the establishment of righteousness
consists of preaching and propagating the selfless performance of actions. The
Divine Mother Adhiparasakthi manifests Herself in order to propagate the
performance of selfless actions through Her deeds. When this sort of feeling
is propagated, righteousness is naturally established.
The
Divine Mother is the abode of Dharma, or righteousness, so She manifests
Herself in order to establish righteousness well. In fact, righteousness never
perishes. It only declines. Whenever there is a decline the Divine Mother
reestablishes it.
To
establish true Dharma and peace, She comes down as the World teacher. She
shows Maya bound Jivas the true path of Mukti, or liberation, by coming down
in a human body. Although She is on Earth in human form, She is not bound by
Maya. She thus embodies Herself in different bodies at different times but the
incarnations are not different. She is one. She only appears in different
forms out of necessity. She teaches man by appearing in a form that is
suitable for that particular time of Avathara.
She
has appeared in India many times and has taught us many things. That is why
India was and is the fountain of knowledge. In the past, whenever it was
necessary, she has lifted India, upholding her by Her hands of Dharma. It is
for this reason that even today in this downtrodden, oppressed and famine
stricken India so many heroic souls, righteous and enterprising, are taking
birth and guiding us. That is why our country has, even now, the true ideals
of Gnana and Bakthi compared to those in other countries.
The
Power and Capacity of an Avatar:
Mother-goddess
c.2500 BC, Harappa, terracotta.
|
An
Avatar as epoch maker functions as a perennial source of power and beneficence
for a whole epoch. An Avatar can transmit spirituality with a touch or even a
mere wish. By his look, wish, or touch, people are saved. The lowest and most
degraded characters become saints at the command of the Avatar. When an
incarnation comes, a tidal wave of spirituality breaks upon the world, and
people feel spirituality almost full in the air.
His
message, Gospel or Arulvakku, and power transcends age and time. People look
upon him as an eternal source of faith, hope, love, strength and inspiration.
The milk of Divine love streams and flows to us from the Avatar. The Avatar is
the meeting ground of personal and impersonal, of Divine and human. He is at
once individual and universal. The Avatar is the teacher of all teachers, the
highest manifestation of Divine Mother through a human form.
An
Avatar is a mighty person. He removes the veil of ignorance of thousands of
men and women and takes them to the land of eternal rest and bliss. The Avatar
is one with the Supreme. An Avatar is not like an ordinary individual soul.
The Avatar is the rays of Divine Mother Adhiparasakthi. When the work of the
Avatar is over, he disappears from the world.
Adhiparasakthi
has two manifestations. In one, She reflects through the universe and is
called Nature. The second manifestation is through the great Incarnations of
Adhiparasakthi that are the various Avatars such as Rama, Krishna, Buddha,
Christ, Mohammad, Chaitanya, Guru Nanak, Kabir, etc. These two manifestations
of Adhiparasakthi are: Karana Brahman
Karya
Brahman
Like The Buddha as
Conqueror of Mara, this Buddhist altarpiece is an object for
contemplation and devotion and was meant to gain merit for its
donor. In Indian religious traditions, the divine is both masculine
and feminine. Some Buddhists placed emphasis on understanding how
wisdom (personified as female) when combined with compassion
(personified as male) leads to enlightenment. Thus understanding the
nature of wisdom is an important component of Buddhism. This
altarpiece, once housed in a Buddhist monastery, honors the female
aspect of the divine and was an offering to a female deity.
|
Karana
means cause. Karya means effect. Karya Brahman, also known as Hiranyagarbha,
is the creative aspect of Adhiparasakthi. Avatars descend from Karya Brahman.
There cannot be any descent of Avatar directly from Karana Brahman. Brahma,
Vishnu and Siva, the three Murtis, belong to the Karya Brahman aspects of
Adhiparasakthi. Brahma is the creative aspect; Vishnu is the preservative
aspect; and Siva is the destructive aspect. There is no polytheism in the
Hindu religion because polytheism means worship of more than one God and this
is not the case.
As
per the doctrines of our ancient Rishis of yore, there are sixteen rays or
sixteen digits or sixteen planes of manifestation or sixteen expanding Kalas
emanating from Adhiparasakthi, the Supreme Brahman. One ray is needed to
maintain the animal kingdom. Two rays maintain the animal kingdom and five to
eight rays are required for human beings. One can rise from savage to a higher
spiritual status only according to the number of rays. For Avatars, nine to
sixteen rays emanate from the Supreme Mother. Avatars are classified according
to the number of rays. The different kinds of Avatars are as follows:
Purna
Avatar
Amsa
Avatar
Lila
Avatar
Purna
Avatar means full Avatar, in whom all sixteen rays are present. Lord Krishna
was a Purna Avatar. There are also Amsa Avatars with partial incarnations. Sri
Sankaracharya was an Amsa Avatar. Lord Rama was a Lila Avatar with fourteen
rays. Ancient Rishis, modern philosophers, and theosophists mention seven
rays, twelve rays and so on when they describe the stage of spiritual
development of their Gurus, Spiritual Masters and Adepts.

Whenever
the Avatar requires secret details of past and future events, or any
clarification, the Avatar contacts Karana Brahman through ecstasy known as
Arul Nilai. The Avatar goes into the Nirvikalpa Samathi, the highest
superconscious state, and then comes back to the conscious state. This
superconscious state is the Thuria Nilai, or Fourth State. This is the state
in which the individual soul rests in his own Sat-Chit-Ananda Svarupa, the
highest Brahmic consciousness during Nirvikalpa Samathi. Only Jeevanmuktas or
sages can attain this state. The glory of the state of Thuria is ineffable.
Its splendor is indescribable. This is a very special form of occult trance
and the Avatars call it Yoga-Nidhrai, or "Temple Sleep." This is a
very special type of trance because the Avatar who has studied this under
temple conditions knows what he is doing and can throw himself deliberately
into the trance state as and when required. In this state he is under his own
control and cannot be obsessed by others.
This
is only an outline and there are a number of Divine requirements and steps in
attaining such a state. Please note that under the surveillance of Avatars we
can also attain such a state if we have the basic requirements of Bakthi,
Devotion, Purity of Mind, etc.
The
superconscious state is attained only in absolute samadhi and by cessation of
all bodily functions. Normally, there is no return from this state. A person
who goes into the superconscious state remains in that state for about
twenty-one days and then passes away. However, a few who are destined to teach
mankind return to the ordinary plane of consciousness by keeping a trace of
egoism, without which corporeal existence is impossible. The Avatars cherish a
few desires for the betterment of the world. By taking hold of this and
through the special divine grace of Adhiparasakthi, they come down from the
superconscious state to the conscious state.
Incarnations
are always conscious of their own divinity. They know it from the moment of
their birth. They assume human form and human limitations for a particular
period of time in order to teach us. In reality they are never limited. They
are ever free but appear to be limited to the eyes of ordinary human beings.
From
their very birth, the Avatars are knowers of Brahman, the Divine Mother. It
should be noted that there is no difference at all between Brahman and the
knower of Brahman, "He who knows the Brahman becomes the Brahman"
— Mundaka Upanisad. The Atman or Brahman cannot be known by the mind because
it is itself the knower. Therefore, man's relative knowledge reaches only up
to Avatars, who are always established in Atman or Brahman. The highest ideal
of Adhiparasakthi that the human mind can perceive or grasp is the Avatar.
Beyond this there is no relative knowledge. Such knowers of Adhiparasakthi or
Brahman are rarely born in the world and very few people can identify and
understand them. Attainment of knowledge of Adhiparasakthi is the highest
object of life. By deep devotion to the Avatars, who are world teachers, that
knowledge will manifest itself in time."

Human
flame seen to shine as divine:
What appears as reeds underwater is actually
Light emitting out of the Brahmarandhra (Kingdom of God) of a dozen Sahaja
Yogis, with vibrations flowing out from the rest during meditation. This is the
tenth chakra or Dsam Dwar (The Tenth Gate) through which kundalini may pass as
it ascends. "Its said to be located at the top of the cranium. When
kundalini pierces the Brahmarandhra, the yogi experiences a supernal
light." (www.digiserve.com/)
This
human flame exists in all Homo sapiens. Rare souls who have
witnessed this Light within themselves know that it
is of a Divine nature, one of the mysteries of our Inner
Reality. However, according to existing esoteric traditions,
to attain this ability requires a life of
single-minded dedication, prayer, meditation, austerities,
and isolation. Hundreds of thousands of monks, yogis,
kaballists, and sufis have tried for centuries and few
attained the higher state of consciousness required for the
sight of Light.
This human flame is the divine Light of God
Almighty! It is the Al Nur of Allah! It is the Paramjyoti of
Prabhu! It is far more brilliant than a hundred suns and yet
it does not hurt the eyes or cast any shadows. In fact it
gives no heat, as its rays are cool! This is the Eternal
Light that illuminates the entire Kingdom of the Spirit.
This is the Divine Light within all human beings. The
opening of the Sahasrara on 5th. May, 1970, by the Spirit of the Living
God enables all seekers to realize this
Truth.
“The most magnetic of all religious symbols is the light, the light that
radiates everywhere within and without — the light that never was on
land or sea. Great mystics have realised the Peerless One in the form of
Light. Moses saw the burning bush and received the word of God. The
Upanishad seers saw It as Jothi Aham — the Splendour in the self.
In many a Devaram and Tiruvacagam, and the lyrics of
Tayumanavar and Ramalinga Swamigal, we have allusions to light as the
symbol of the formless God; and Light also indicates goals and the
radiance of Wisdom, as well as the illumination of Supreme Awareness.
Gleaming as the earth and all the spheres
Oh Thou expanse of matchless Effulgence!
In radiant forms of Light art Thou beheld
Oh Formless
One!
Tiruvacagam 22.8.9.”

Now
this flame has been witnessed by children of the Great Adi
Shakti.
Since Self-Realization the Light fascinated Kash. On
the very first day itself he had stood alone on the endless cover of
clouds, trying to understand where was this incredible, utterly peaceful
Shangri-La that he had stumbled upon. There was one distinguishing Reality
of this celestial landscape that held him spellbound — The Light!
It was shining high above at a distance he was unable to discern. Kash had kept gazing at it,
spellbound by its indescribable uniqueness and infinite luminosity. It was
an extremely bright globe, much brighter than many suns. In spite of its
dazzling brightness it never ever hurt the eyes. Since Kash had never seen
anything that bright he thought it must be the sun, but at a much closer
proximity. His father, finding no other logical explanation, also agreed.
After months of meditation it began to slowly
dawn that what Kash was seeing coul not possibly be the sun. But Kash
kept on insisting that it had to be as nothing he had seen on Earth shone
so bright. He just thought that he was seeing it from a much closer
distance!
In the beginning was the Word, and
the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by Him;
And without Him was not anything made that was made.
In Him was life; and the life was the Light of men.
And the Light shineth in darkness; and the darkness
comprehend it not.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
The same came for a witness,
To bear witness to the Light that all men through him might
believe.
He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness to that
Light.
That was the true Light,
Which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

Uncertainty came into his father inquisitive mind. He had this
peculiar habit of not believing anything unknown or speculative unless
proven beyond a shadow of reasonable doubt. The sun that his son was
seeing disturbed. Not only was it just above the Great Adi Shakti but it
did not emit heat!
But the lingering question was why was it visible only
at Her place and nowhere else in the Kingdom of the Almighty Creator? If
it was indeed the sun then it had to be seen at all the dwellings of
all the Immortal Messengers that Shri Mataji used to take Kash to.
On September 11, 1994, at 13:05 p.m., after reading the
word Shaibhang (Self-illumined) at the opening stanza of the Sri
Guru Granth Sahib, the consciousness of Self-Realization indicated that
there was more to this Truth than met the mind. If Guru Nanak had
described the Divine World of Reality to be Shaibhang,
or Self-Illumined, then the 'very bright Sun' that Kash spoke
about could not be true. If the Spirit of the Living God was the Ultimate
Reality (Al-Haqqah) then this 'Sun' at Her Abode was an
inferior object.
Moreover, Kash’s extraordinary observation of this
'Sun' created more questions and doubts as he maintained that:
This 'Sun' is always behind Her at an angle but is not directly above,
that is, at about 45 degrees.
It did not rise and fall like the earthly sun. The 'Sun' above Shri
Mataji Nirmala Devi is fixed and stationary.
This 'Sun' illuminates the entire Supreme Abode of the Great Celestial
Mother. Every thing is seen very clearly and in fine detail, down to the
different hues of skin tone. (That is why Kash was absolutely sure that
Shri Jesus had a light brown skin, and wearing whitish gray clothes
stretched taut by the sheer size of His muscular body.)
Kash could not ascertain the exact size and distance of this 'Sun'
despite his numerous visits.
In spite of its intense brightness this 'Sun' emitted no heat. On the
contrary, Kash said that the rays are cool!
“One has to know on this point that you have got
the Light . . . You have to give up all that is falsehood. If you are
fully enlightened you will give up automatically. You don’t have to be
told. The Spirit automatically feels responsible that it has to give
Light. It has to tell that you please give Light, because it is Light.
Because it is Eternal Light nothing can kill it.
There is a sloka,
"It cannot be killed by anybody, nothing can destroy it. Even if you
want to suck it you cannot." It is such a powerful Light. You can
verify it whether it is eternal or not. You have to see for yourself you
have such a unique Light within you.
In the history of spirituality
of this world so many have got Realization — such a Light in them. How
could these stupid, flimsy, useless conditionings dominate you now, when
you are the carrier of Eternal Light."

Then one day he astounded his father by claiming that
there are no shadows from the rays of this 'Sun'! In all his journeys Kash
never saw any shadow in the Kingdom of the Spirit. Though questioned many
times he maintained that this Sun does not produce any shadow, physical
properties that are ubiquitous in our universal sun. Kash was told by his
father to clarify this issue with Shri Viswamata Nirmala Devi. There was
something strange about this 'Sun' that Kash daily witnessed.
Kash meditated and the Divine Kundalini at the sacrum
bone took him up the Tree of Life into the Bridal Chamber. He burst
through the clouds and reached His Dominion. The Infinite Light shone ever
so brilliantly from above the Eternal Throne of the Great Mater Divinae
Gratiae (Mother of Divine Grace) as She sat in Bliss and Joy. Shri Lok
Mata met him and the question was put forward. The Great Primordial Guru
explained that it was not the sun that he was seeing but the Light. They
then meditated, after which Kash returned back to this hate-filled world
of Louis Farrakhans and Osama bin Ladins.
His Light exists within all human beings
— This Revealed Truth is Absolute.
His Light emits cool rays
— This Revealed Truth is Absolute.
His
Light cast no shadows
— This Revealed Truth is Absolute.
The
Spirit Beings living in the Kingdom of God have no shadows
— This Revealed Truth is Absolute.
Their intention is to extinguish
Allah’s Light with their mouths:
But Allah will complete (the
revelation of) His light,
Even though the Unbelievers may detest (it.)

surah 61:8 Al Saff (The Battle Array)
(Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, 1989

This Revelation of the Light is the Ultimate Truth of
all the Holy Scriptures. This Light has been announced by all His
Messengers. Since the dawn of civilization
highly evolved souls have been searching relentlessly for this Light. This
is the Light of Shri Krishna. This is the Light of Shri Jesus. This is the
Light of Shri Buddha. This is the Light of Allah, of Yahweh, of Brahman or
any other name that humans give to Him. God Almighty is Light!
These experiences of His Light are within.
This is the Reality of the Microcosm and the Macrocosm. We all live within
God and He lives within us as The Light.
It
will cause the earth to be stained with the blood of the
lone ones (monks),
“The
Council of Orange in 529 and the Council of
Quierzy-sur-Olise in 853 asserted the official view:
"To those who are saved, salvation is a gift of God;
but those who perish are lost through their own fault."
[1]
That is it! The statement was to remain the position of the
Church: Man has not enough free will to overcome the
predestinated necessity of his doom. Of course when the
doctors and priests of the Council said "a gift of
God" they meant "a gift of the Church." They
also meant that Man is doomed unless and until the Church
(and not God) saves him. Once more a human institution was
pretending to represent the Divine realm in order to rule
the world one better. All the while the enquiry of the
seekers was discouraged."

Century. Trans J. Buckingham, London 1963, p. 341.)”

The
discovery and confirmation of the existence of this divine
Light within by children — ancient beings,
liberated souls arriving from the Spiritual Kingdom of the Almighty Creator — will
shake the very foundations of the patriarchal Church
(Synagogue, Mosque, Temple, Gurdwara) and their guardians:
the priests, monks, bishops, deacons, popes (and lamas,
monks, swamis, acaryas, brahmins, pandits, ulema, shaikhs,
muftis, mullahs, clerics, imams, rabbis and others.) How is
it possible for ordinary children — devoid of religious
indoctrination or multimillion mantra milestones — able to
reach the Kingdom of God by just meditating
on the Great Divine Mother when none of their most
enlightened religious prisoner in the entire history been able to achieve such a feat? How is
it plausible that billions have been unable to see the Light
that all Holy Scriptures insist exists within all
humans? Why are ordinary Self-realized children not only
witnessing this Divine Light but also revealing the Kingdom of
the Spirit for the very first time?
The
ruling religious class will all be slain by the sword of
Truth and slowly bleed to a spiritual death, unable to
provide proof that they are the gatekeepers to the Kingdom
of Heaven. They will be the lone ones who will be abandoned
in this century. Yet they will continue with falsehood
and lead the Armies of Apocalypse. These fake preachers will
continue their lucrative trade of harvesting souls, promising to ferry
their religious fanatics to their choice plots in heaven.
During the Resurrection Earth will be tainted with the
spiritual death of hundreds of millions who will deny
revealed Truth. They will never reach the Kingdom of God.
"When
you become the Spirit that you become so powerful that
nothing dominates you. Nothing dominates you. There is no
habit that can dominate you. No temptation can dominate you
and you become very powerful, But at the same time you are
extremely compassionate, you are extremely kind. So it is a
very compassionate Power that you develop of the Spirit and
you become a new personality, a wonderful personality . . .
Freedom is no license but Freedom which is absolutely not
curbing anybody’s freedom nor is giving you any bondage.
It is something so great it should happen to all of
us."
Shri
Nitya-trpta Shri Nirmala Devi
And
to destroy the holy temples for the impure ones.
The
impure ones are the followers of these
corrupted houses of worship. They are particularly called impure
because for all their professed righteousness and salvation
claims, they are spiritually unclean to enter the Kingdom of
the Almighty Creator. Despite centuries of praying,
prostrating, weeping and wailing in their corrupted houses
of worship the
collective consciousness of their followers has
progressively sunk deeper and deeper into greed, avarice,
covetousness, materialism, gluttony, pride, arrogance,
disdain, insolence, egoism, self-centeredness, anger,
falsehood, untruth, lying, lust, cheating, swindling,
deception, jealousy, gossip, intolerance, swearing, racism,
hate, revenge, immorality, depravity, licentiousness,
lewdness, vice, iniquity, debauchery, incest, abuse,
addiction, alcoholism, prostitution, violence, killing,
murder, slaughter, conflict, ungodliness, profanity,
desecration, blasphemy, impiety, defilement, heresy, and
sacrilege.
Moreover,
what criteria do they have to confirm their professed
purity? Do they honestly believe their herd is qualified for
grazing in paradise? Are they cleansed of all the above-mentioned human
defects? Are they able to receive each and every messenger
of God? Are they able to belief each and
every Holy Book of Allah? Are they able to accept the Holy
Spirit as the feminine aspect of SadaShiva? What Knowledge
of the Spirit has their religious regimes bestowed on them?
Why are they trapped in tunnel visions of Reality? Why are
they so engaged in this microscopic material world and
unable to grasp the infinite universe? What Knowledge or
Powers of the self-reproaching Spirit do they really
possess?
The
confirmation of this flame within by ordinary
children, a feat unparalleled in religious history, will
begin the destruction of all holy temples, the
Idols of Worship — churches, mosques, synagogues, temples,
shrines and gurdwaras. Nostradamus predicts that something
is going to annihilate all religious regimes because as long
as they exist they will never free their captives. This
prophesied downfall of all religious regimes will take place by first
rendering them devoid of salvation! Those children born in
this Millennium of Light will flee from them like bats out
of hell, and their parents not far behind! May this century
bear witness to this Truth.
"Who is the Antichrist? They’re describing he is the
Antichrist, that fellow is the Antichrist. That’s not the
thing. There’s an Antichrist within us who accepts
all these things which are against the purity and Love of
Christ. . . .
All such religions have to finish. They have to go now. It’s
too much. You cannot support them. They are so much full of
anti-religious temperament that you cannot just bear them.
It’s better to finish Islam, Hinduism, Christianity,
Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism, all isms, one after another.
To what
religion did Christ belong. I don’t know . . . You don’t belong to any
other religion because there is no reason in that. So by the year 2000 I hope
all these religions will run away from this Earth. All of them fighting for
nothing at all, killing each other for nothing at all. They want, they want to
fight, they like to fight. Why blame Koran? Why blame Bible? Why blame anyone?
They want to fight. They are of divisive nature."
