Many Aspects & Manifestations of the One



They see the Self, in the Self, by the Self !
All betrays him who sees all elsewhere,
Than in the Self! What can entire Veda,
Do for him, who sees all in Non-Self ?

The Eternian sees everything,
Under the aspect of Eternity,
Under the aspect of Zodiac,
And under the aspect of Love.

Thou manifested as Bhagavan Vyasa,
To write Epic Poems and Mythology.
The essence of Wisdom was underlined,
"Helping is Merit, Torturing is Demerit".

Thou incarnated as Bhagavan Kanada,
To impart the Wisdom of Vaisesika.Sastra.
Thou promulgated the Fivefold Atomic Theory
That atoms of Elemental Five make up Reality !

In Thy Manifestation as Lord Krishna,
Wisdom and Statesmanship met in Thee !
Initiated into the Mysteries of Yoga by Sandeepini,
Thou ruled as the greatest Philosopher King ever.

In Thy Incarnation as Lord Rama,
Wisdom and Sacrifice met in Thee !
Initiated into the Mysteries of Yoga by Vasishta,
Thou showed how a Philosopher King can sacrifice.

Thou manifested as Bhagavan Buddha,
To impart the Wisdom of  Nirvana Sastra
Renunciation Personified, Perfect.Exemplar,
Thou showed that Love is All Conquering !

In Thy Aspect as Death ineluctable,
Thou comest as welcome release !
Thou declared "I am Death",
So poets symbolise Thee  as Evil Tooth!

In Thy Aspect as Prakriti  Sagacious,
Thou art both terrible and sweet.
Thy natural calamities terrify all,
While Thy beauty, magnificent dazzle all.

Mythology is Symbolic !




The Bull, Nandi, who tenants Siva Temples,
Represents our animal, negative aspect.
This bestial, dark  aspect should wither away,
To have a Vision Divine of the Most Auspicious, Siva.

Symbolic is Mythology,
And emblematic of philosophic verities.
Esoteric Meaning is revealed,
By Grace of the Guru or Covenant.

All Great World Literature,
Were deliberately written darkly,
Lest vulgar and unpurified spirits,
Abuse sanctity  of Wisdom Divine.


Wisdom should never be revealed,
To the vulgar and the unpurified.
Only to the virtuous, celibates, donators,
 And other purified souls..

Rishis hide Esoterica,
To fool the ignorant.
Only the ignorant,
Cherish the literal value !

In India, Science, Philosophy, Literature,
Poetry, Mythology, Art, Astrology et al,
Are all ONe, as ALL Are One,
And as One Knowledge is All Knowledge.

Church's function not to teach Man Life's Mysteries,
Only to see their flock reach a level of Purification,
Esoterica begins, where Exoterica ends,
And then Deity will lead aspirant on to Perfection.

"Once a Seer-Poet, always a Seer-Poet",
Is a statement unfathomable.
The Eternal Law allows not to negate,
Affirmations or Covenants, done earlier.

The 27 Constellations of Hindu Astrology

The Relative Manifestation, Saguna Brahman




The One Willed " May I become Many ",
Existence multiplied Itself for Self Delight !
Absolute Being became Relative Being,
In a process called the Relative Manifestation.

Can a part of the Ocean become an iceberg ?
That is how Nirguna Brahman turns Saguna !
Absolute Brahman became Jagat, Jiva and Para,
And Space, Time and Causality, which conditions them. 

Universe, Ego and  Supreme,
Three Ideas of Reason of  Kant,
Three Perpetual Symbols of Aurobindo,
Is the Eternal Triad, Jagat, Jiva and Para.

The Absolute One became the Relative Many,
It is the One which is potentially Many.
And the Many,which is actually One,
For, the Absolute One is All, Ekam Tad Sarvam.

In the language of Bhakti Yoga,
Did He create the Universe ? No.
He became the Universe,
He became all this that is, Sarvam Brahm.

Everything is created by Time,
Everything is preserved by Time,
Everything is destroyed by Time,
Verily, Time is important indeed

In Thy Rajas dominant Creative Aspect, as Lord Brahma,
Thy Faces Four are the Fourfold Veds !
Pre Destination is Thine and what Thou writest  on one's head,
Becomes Fate,the inevitable concatenation of circumstances !


In Thy Sattwa dominant Preservative  Aspect, as Lord Vishnu,
Thou preservest all by the principle of  Universal Love.
Love is the golden chain which binds Society together,
And Thy ever conquering  Law of Love is the winner ultimately.


In Thy Tamas dominant Destructive  Aspect, as Lord Siva,
Thou indulgest in Creative Destruction.
As such, Thou art Recreator of things  in perfect Wisdom,
And Thy Cosmic Dance is the Dance of Sub Atomic Matter !



Unitary Power, Prana
