Happy Patham Udayam greetings from the Fourth Largest Pilgrim Center in the world, Guruvayur !

Different Calenders

We will explain the different Calenders. Every Civilization has a Calender.

The Christian Calender is the Western which the whole world is following. Its present year, as everybody knows is 2012.

The Hindu Calender is based on the Kali Era which began on 17th Feb 3102 BCE. Therefore the present Hindu Year is 3102+2012 = 5114.

The Masonic Calender's present year is 6012. The formula is Christian C + 4000. Free Masons write AL, Anno Lucis, in the Year of Light instead of the Anno Domine ( ' in the year of our Lord " ) of the Christian. Free Masons are Christians, though most of the Free Masons are Protestant. Fundamentalist Christians do not like the Free Masons. Free Masonry, Rosicrucianism, Gnosticism have been banned as heretical sects.

The Malaylam Calender with its 12 months from Mesha to Meena is the Calender that is followed in Kerala. Its present year is 1187. If you add 825 to the Malayalam Era, you will get the English Era.

The Western underwent Modification and Pope Gregory rectified the Julian Calender into the Gregorian. The Julian took 365.25 days as one year and hence the error. The actual value of one year is 365.256362424815 days. Christopher Clavius took six decimals to solve the problem.

The Western Calender is based on the Tropical Zodiac,which is moving. Hence it may need rectifications.

The Indian is based on the Sidereal Zodiac, which is static and it needs no modification.

He is sorrowful in violence !

There is a misunderstanding about the word Hindu.

Max Muller, Monier Williams and other missionary scholars want us to believe that since our ancestors lived near the river Sindhu, we are called Hindus, because the Persians could not pronounce the word Sindhu. This is utter nonsense.

Sat Prem, a French intellectual, in his book " Aurobindo, the Adventure of Consciousness" remarks that "the term Hinduism is an invention of the West. The Indian speaks only about the Eternal Law, the Sanathana Dharma. Now India, who could understand the Eternal Iconoclast that God is in His Cosmic March, did not have the strength to support Her Wisdom" So true, we were invaded by the Mughal Empire and the British Empire.

The Eternal Law, this Sanathana Dharma, is called by many as Christianity, Islam, Sikhism, Buddhism etc. " The Name of this Causality is Divine Law " said Aurobindo. " "The Law rules all and is all' said Cheiro. This Eternal Law pervades the Universe, ruling all.

The real meaning of the word Hindu is that he who is sorrowful in violence is a Hindu, himsayam dhooyathe yasya saha hindurithyabhideeyathe.

Vivekananda wrote

' The Hindu believes he is Spirit. Him the fire cannot burn, him the water cannot wet, him the sword cannot pierce nor the wind dry. He is the Absolute Self, center everywhere, circumference nowhere".

The Supramental Dialectic

Bhagavan Aurobindo, staunch nationalist that he was, prayed for India's liberation !

" The athiest is in me, the agnostic is in me, all I want O Lord, is my country's freedom "

Then suddenly He heard the Voice.

" This is the Eternal Law, the Sanathana Dharma, the Eternal Religion which I have perfected through the saints, the Yogis, the Rishies and the Avatars. When you go forth, say that it is for Dharma India exists. At the moment I am giving India her freedom"

No wonder India's Independence and Aurobindo's birthday coincided !

The Voice continued " I am seated deep in the hearts of all and I overrule their actions and words. It is what I SHALL and not what others may. It is for Dharma India exists. Whatever be the impossibilities and difficulties that come, know that there is nothing impossible, there is nothing difficult. "

Aurobindo knew that all his steps were divinely ordained and founded the Supramental Dialectic and Integral Yoga, after this Vision he got in jail !

Who can describe Bhagavan Aurobindo ?

The Cosmic Dancer

The cosmic dance, said Dr Fritjof Capra, is the dance of subatomic matter ! The dancing Shiva is the dancing Universe.

Who can describe Him ? ' Him the Sun cannot express nor the Moon nor the Stars, Lightning cannot express Him, nor what we speak of as fire; through Him they shine".

Na tatra bhathi sooryo na chandra tharakam
Nema vidyutho kuthoyamagni
Thameva Bhantam Anubhathi Sarvam
Yasya Bhasa sarvam idam vibhathi

Everything is He !

A story, pregnant with philosophic meaning, comes to us from Bengal.Once upon a time, there was a proud King. One day he called all his ministers and asked " Who is greater, me or God ?"

The pundits shook with fear. They requested him to grant them some time.

Next day a wise pundit told the King " Verily, thou art greater , O King, for thou can banish us from your kingdom, whereas God cannot, for all this is His and all this is He ".

This story, coming from Bengal, where Bhagavan Aurobindo was born, was not altogether unknown to Him, who said that all this is He ( All this is verily Brahman, say the Upanishads . Sarvam Brahmamayam ).

Aurobindo wrote

" He is Timeless and Time. He is Spaceless and all that is in Space, He is Causality and the Cause and the Effect. Brahman, the Iswara, is all this by His Yoga Maya !

For we find the the Indeterminate teems with mutations and differentiae. The One becomes an innumerable multitude. The Universal individualises itself and the Individual universalises itself. Being turns into Becoming, but is always Itself and other than Its Becomings. The Absolute becomes relative and the Relative becomes the Absolute. The Indeterminate determines itself as the Infinite and the Finite".

His greatest realisation was " The Absolute is everywhere, every finite is an Infinite"

This is in line with Lord Krishna's commandment to Arjuna

"How can you, O Prince, comprehend the vastness of this Universe?
I, who am all, who made it all, abide as its separate Lord 

Of Allegories and Symbols

This is an allegorical depiction of Prakrithi's dance on Purusha .

His breast He offers for Her Cosmic Dance
Over our lives which are the quivering theatre !

Purusha and Prakrithi are coexistent aspects of the Eternal.

We have said that the great poets hid Mysteries in Symbology.

The function of Epic and Mythology is to adumbrate philosophic verities. Ithihasa puranabhyam vedam samupabrimhayeth !
