When Jacob was sleeping, he had a dream that a ladder was set from Heaven on the Earth - Gen.28:12 - “And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the Earth, and the top of it reached to Heaven; and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it” ......See; the ladder was not going from the Earth to Heaven. Ladder was set up on the Earth, and the top of it reached to Heaven. But it was set up on the Earth. All the people have their own imaginations, and say that the ladder was set from Earth to heaven. If that is so, our message is wrong. And who stood on the top of it? Gen.28:13 - “And behold, the LORD stood above it and said, I am the Lord God of Abraham, thy father, and the God of Isaac”. And on the ladder, who stood? The LORD stood there. And what did He say? “I am the LORD GOD of Abraham thy father and the God of Isaac”. See I am the LORD GOD of Abraham, your father”. Why? Abraham was friend of God. How can He be friendly with somebody who is not having a form? So he was walking with Him. So He is telling I am the LORD GOD for Abraham. For his Son (Isaac), I am God. That means he (Isaac) did not actually see anything much about the Lord God. Then thirdly he knew that he was saved from death.
So like that the ladder is set on the Earth means - this (Tabernacle) - (Bro. Lawrie points towards the Tabernacle map). This is the ladder. This is the gate. From this gate only we go to Heaven. We see here that there is an outer, there is Holy place, and then Holy of Holies. And there are two Cherubims guarding the Tree of Life (Ark). Because anybody who goes into Holy of Holies, near that place they are killed immediately. So this is the Gateway to Heaven. Who stands here? Is the Theophany standing here? Is it so? No. It is LORD GOD who is standing there. Not Theophany or a vague thought, but a Son coming in David’s line. See Luke 1:32(b) - “The LORD GOD shall give unto Him the throne of His father David”. Sometimes you know, if any message doesn’t come according to the Bible, we need not criticize it. But it is our duty to check it and not to take it.
When it comes here, (pointing towards Tabernacle map) .... There is one man here as the priest. Everybody doesn’t go in there to die; (Holy of Holies) that is forbidden. When you go there, when you come here (Holy place), you have to take off their shirts and shoes, and put on the Glory dress, linen dress, white dress. But the Hindus, they know one side. That is they know how to take off their shirts and shoes. But they don’t have the knowledge to put on the linen dress. That is the Glory. The Christians don’t know even that also. They don’t know to take off their shirts. That means they are not having that knowledge even. They are blind in that knowledge. Why did this happen? For our example.
Read that portion. It is for our example. These are for our examples. I Cor.10:11 - “Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come” .... Why these things happened to Israelites? For examples. Seeing this, we have to learn. We have to get our knowledge. So what did they do (to please god), that we have to do, according to God’s Word. It is written also for our admonition - upon whom the ends of the world are come. You have come to the end of the world. Others may fool. But it is not the fooling time. If this message doesn’t touch you, you will never be glorified. This is not explained in the Bible even. Apostle John was asked not to write. This is the Thunders. Final Thunders. After this only Glorification. It is what is hidden for the ages, not for 4000 years, but for centuries and centuries and for millions of years. So listen carefully. I won’t be speaking much to you, in future like this every Saturday. When this message is given, you have to get ready, that is all. Don’t try to say, “Bro. Lawrie, please explain to us”. For that others will have to explain. You learn the message well and explain to others.
Then I Cor.10:12 - “Wherefore, let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall”. Read Verse 6 - “Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted” .... It is not how you love God. It is how God loves you. If He doesn’t love you, you perish. How do you love Him? By keeping His commandments. In the early days, they were very strong for God’s Word. Whatever God said, Abraham was willing to obey. But here is a disease like this. Now I have got three children. If I tell something and if it is not correct (suitable) according to their thinking, they will go to Evu, Aseer or Dayavu and then try to change me to their thinking. But I don’t do it by thinking, because when the Spirit of the Lord tells me something I do it. We are all free people to think freely and not a denomination. So they have three gods. If I do what they say, even they have four gods. They divide God into four. But what the Word of God says, that is truth. So you got the Bible to check up. You come and ask me. I may say, “You just keep quiet”, or I may keep quiet. But you read the Bible, it is clear. You can’t come and tell me, he tells like this, she tells like that. If it is wrong from the Bible, you don’t take it, even if I say that.
If you don’t have self in your life, you will totally believe this message. If you think that you are somebody great, then you won’t believe this message. Everybody, you must be humble. And there are many preachers. They will go and tell everything what they want to say as Bro. Lawrie told, Bro. Lawrie told. Then they will come and tell me: I have preached like this. Perhaps they want to change my preaching according to them. If you tell from the Word, you need not have any fear. Jesus said: “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life”. This is the gate. This is the door. This is the real gate: the way, the truth and life for Heaven is in this gate. The door will not walk. It will be fixed to the door post. If you know this way, through this you will find the Way, you will find the Truth and find the Life. And this was on the Earth. And when God wanted to talk with the people, this is the way He talked to the people.
The whole camp, people were on the Earth. They were cut away from the worldly things. Yet they were in sin and slavery. They didn’t know that they were Abraham’s children. So for 430 years they were slaves. Then God sent a man Moses. They didn’t struggle to become big. 430 years they were in slavery. They were groaning. Then God met a man called Moses. “Now Moses, you go and deliver the people”. But see how many people said, “We also have a call”. And 250 princes they said, “We also are holy. We are also a great people”. But when they gave the incense, 250 people perished. Nadab and Abihu, the Earth opened, and Korah and others went in. When God selects a man, it is not for you to fool. I am becoming old. But we are expecting to be glorified. Why all these people from Moses and Abraham and all died on the way? They didn’t get the full truth. Even the 12 Apostles didn’t get the full truth. When Lucifer knew that it is a man, then he sealed the plan of God (The Sum) even in the beginning, millions and millions of years ago. But he didn’t know that the One who created him was the (Man) LORD GOD Himself (The Word Christ). He thought a man is coming there, so he can use force and cast him away and keep the Kingdom for himself. So these are for our examples. Like they fell we should not fall. There is no excuse for you. Anybody can come inside through this door. But they have to come with a Lamb or a goat or an ox. They should not come empty (handed). It is not the place to come and play about. They have to bring an atonement. Without atonement, you can’t get into the gate. Anybody who doesn’t take an atonement, there he can’t enter in. You just cannot enter to see and go away. Any outsider will be destroyed.
Then when we come (to the Tabernacle) here, this is really Heaven from here (Holy place). It (Court) is Holy place on the Earth. Here Kings and all can come, whoever brings an atonement. So God wanted to establish this on the Earth. So first He chose Moses. Abraham was outside. So he had the altar. So when we come here, in the court, it is Moses. He saw and met God. So God has to come down to establish this outer. Then comes Jesus. He established the Holy Place. That is why he started preaching, “If a man doesn’t forsake all what he has, he cannot be my disciple”. So long as you don’t do that, you can’t enter here. (Also John 3:3,5). If you enter you will die. Those who die here, (Holy Place), they put on the glory and sleep till the Lord comes. Those who are in this world from Jesus time upto Moon Landing day, they have communion, Seven Church Ages, altar of incense - prayer - crying, crying which signifies prayer life.
After this incense altar, God should surely come down. Who has spoken to the messenger of the Seventh Church Age? The beginning of the creation of God, THE FIRST BORN, the same One after the messenger, comes down, knocks at the door; not His son or Theophany. That is not everybody; only one man selected by God. Bro. Branham was the Seventh Church Messenger. After that God has to come down, because there is no possibility of anybody coming. So from here God comes down and knocks at the door. Then He gives the message for Glorification in the Earth. So the man comes here; puts on the special dress and the Lord God stands here. Anybody who sees the body of the Lord God there, has to die. That is why for 2000 years the temple worship was completely removed. Time has come to worship the Father everywhere. All these churches are false. Even today many, many big preachers, they have denominational spirit. They go and say, why don’t you come here? You come to our group. These fellows are all fallen people. They are all false.
What did Paul say? “I am preparing a (chaste) Bride for Christ”. He didn’t say, “I am preparing Bride for me, and through me I am taking her to Christ”. Christ will never accept that. Paul says, “I am preparing a chaste Bride for Christ”. Not touched by anybody. Even that great man Paul was one of the ministers for Christ. These people call themselves as Apostles and all these things. So what happens here? God speaks and priest hears. If he makes a mistake he dies there. And nobody can go and remove his body. So he has a chain tied to his feet. There will be bells on the cloak (dress); as he walks there will be ringing of bells. If the bells stop, they will drag him with the chain and take him out. (Change of tape).
Now Moses, they thought that he will be taking them to the Kingdom where there is milk and honey. So they took a tumbler, thinking first they have to drink honey and then milk. But what did they see? “Moses, where is milk, where is honey?” Only Kanji (gruel) milk is there. Where is honey? Karuppatti (jaggery) coffee is honey. Are you a man? We ate flesh, cucumbers, onions, soup. We ate all types of roasts, fish roasts, etc. Do we come here for this kanji water?”, they said, “Take up the stones. The fellow has cheated us”. So to save Moses, who has to come? They are looking at the mountain. It is caught up with fire. Then the Lord said, “Moses, leave me alone. I am going to destroy all of them”. Then immediately Moses cries, If you destroy them, your name will be spoiled. Is it so? This is not known to God! So Moses has to teach God. “Yes, My name is getting spoiled. You are correct. For your sake, I don’t destroy this people. Now Moses, I will make you big, great; your children shall be great”. The present day preachers would have said, “Yes, Lord, destroy all these people but save me only and make me big”. That is what present day small preachers pray.
If a young man wants to serve in the ministry without marriage, let him make a vow and say, Lord I won’t marry. Otherwise get married. You don’t run about because I know what a young man is. He will be only fooling with the girls. He will only stay in the company of young girls. If there is a girl, you camp there. I know the difficulties of a young man. You don’t know the difficulties a young man has. If you want to marry .... my sons married very young. I too have my brother who was a young man, I will be preaching. He will slowly slip and go into some room and take a girl there. In Ceylon he was a very good singer. He went to a certain cinema theatre side. And there was a girl who was already married and divorced. She looked young and he said, “I love you, I love you”. Then afterwards he wanted to marry her. So I went to him and beat the fellow and said, “She is already divorced, why do you want to fool with her”. It was very difficult to take him out. I know the difficulties of young people, but don’t fool. These meetings are not for selecting good-looking girls (or boys). Because you will never select the girl like this. You are always thinking about the nose, mouth, lips and eyes. If she is not beautiful ... But you don’t verify the character. The good character will not stay with beautiful face. After marriage they will say, “Oh Bro. Lawrie, she is very tight on me. So I have to leave her”. She will be tight. I see that here in this Ashram also.
So in this ministry, now people who touch Jesus, they are travelling towards Heaven. So you want to have a girl who is travelling to Heaven, not travelling to Hell. So when they went away, no water, there is water but it is bitter. Then God brought water in a miraculous way, by obedience to God’s Word. That also through Moses. Not everybody. Then from there so many problems came. Snakes bit them. So snake was lifted up, the brazen serpent. Anybody who looked at the serpent, he got life. So Jesus lifted up the brazen serpent. So what is the ministry of Jesus? He was a Son of God. Whose ministry is He lifting up? Son of Man’s ministry. So He lifted him up for 2000 years, so that everybody who looks at him will be saved. But the mistake they made was, they were looking at the one who lifted up the serpent but not at the lifted serpent. There was life. So as they were travelling, God trained them and then he wanted them to obey. In Ashram, all types of training are given. After many years, suppose I say, Believe God, and if you say, “How can we believe, we don’t have faith”, that is the greatest sin. When God told them: “You go and possess the land”, then the people through their thinking, they said, “We will first go and spy it”. Then they saw giants there. Giants with big thighs. So they thought they will die if they will go there. Then God scolded them, “Do you think your word is more powerful than what I say? Your five senses will say that they have got big thighs and hands. Big walls. But My Word says, Go and posses it”. So their faith cracked. “Moses, did you bring us here to be killed?” Then God told: “Now you have to go 40 years (in the wilderness) till you all die. But your children whom you say that they will die, they will possess the land”. Hallelujah! So these people saw the miracles and they did not believe.
When God used me mightily in Madras, they saw it but they didn’t believe. They didn’t cross the death. But now their children, you are like children to them. So these so many years, they are dying on the road. They have no life. The preachers have no life. But now we cross the Jordan. We sing the song: “We have crossed the Jordan”, the song sung by dead people. If you cross the Jordan, how you will be You won’t be on that side of the Jordan but on the other side. That is the land where you will get milk and honey. That is why God came down, to give you faith, so that the Tabernacle is finished. After packing all these things, and there stand seven priests, carrying the Ark, all crossing the river. Why, the Lord has come down for making you all to cross the river Jordan. As they cross the Jordan, that is death, type of death. Jordan is the type of death. The Lord has come down only to see and make possible for you to cross the river of death. That Ark is meant for Him only. When the last man went over, and the Ark also went over, and when the seven priests went over, when they took twelve stones outside. From Canaan they took twelve stones and put them inside, then the waters came and joined. Then can anybody cross it? When you cross it and finish it, nobody can cross the death again. “Oh! Uncle, Aunty we are standing here, please tell the waters to part”. No! It can never happen. You cross it. Uncle and Aunty die that side.
So when they came there, then seven times around Jericho’s walls are falling. That is the seven sprinklings in Canaan. This message must go round the world like that. Suddenly the wall will fall. Kingdoms fall, everything fall. Then comes the permanent temple. There King David becomes King, wins the big battles, then the temple. In that place who comes? The King. So instead of the priest, the King and the priest become one. If you have crossed Jordan, you see one, but if not you see two. The Theophany and the human become one. One person. Theophany is not in the Bible. Don’t believe that. Same Christ in Glory and as a man. When He goes there, He is in Glory. When He comes down He is like a man. So these 2000 years, that revelation cannot come to any man. If it comes, it is wrong. That is why after 2000 years God comes down with that revelation. So till Branham you will have that revelation in part only. Because you will say only the Seventh Church messenger will come and then the Lord God will appear like Unseen God. So they put the Word Theophany there. But now listen.
Now what is faith? We come to an important message now. Read Hebrews 11:1 - “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”. If I say, I see a wall here, I see a pillar here, I see prayer hall here. That is not faith. If the Bible tells, angels camp around us and we say, I see angels all over, camping against the enemies. That is the truth. But this wall and prayer hall appear like truth. But that is not truth. They will fall away soon. This will perish. But that won’t perish. That Word will not perish. So what is faith? Substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things which are not seen. What is substance? It is not a thought. If somebody comes and tells me that there is a cycle. It is a substance in the worldly sense. But a Heavenly man will say, he won’t call it a cycle but is formed of atom. So it is not fighting. Those who don’t see. What you see is not Eternal. What you don’t see is Eternal.
You must understand, Heaven was created first, Earth was destroyed because of Lucifer, because he was sealing “the sum”, sealing the plan of God. ‘Sum’ means the plan of God. Read it. Ezekiel 28:12 - “Thou sealest up the sum”. In Tamil version it is not mentioned so. ‘Thou sealest up the sum’ means ‘You have sealed the plan of God’. So who has sealed all these things? In these days, only the Lucifer-anointed people have to seal it (seal the message). So what is the secret? Bible tells, what is wisdom? Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. The world talks about wisdom. Gandhi’s wisdom, Anna’s wisdom, Ramakrishna’s wisdom, etc. Wisdom of all people - But all these people who talked about wisdom died, and they have no hope. But thousands of people died with hope. Believing something. They died with the promise. But see here. Read the last portion of Hebrews 11:39-40. They did not receive the promise. V.39 - “And these all having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise”. For us, even though we don’t have the good report, luck is fallen upon us, like lottery prize. Like that even without having faith and hope. Nowadays the people (believers) are like this. They say, “We are coming, we are coming, surely we come (for full time ministry)”. Their suitcase will be here in the Ashram, but their body will be in their houses. “Please pray for my father”, they will say, “I will keep my suitcase here and I will go. I will comeback very soon”. Will your suitcase go in Glory? Glory is meant for you. If you go away, just keeping your suitcase here (Ashram) ... It is just like the story of a man throwing his cap into the Heaven and trying to enter the Heaven. But the angel said, ‘sinners cannot enter Heaven”. So the sinner threw his cap into Heaven. Then the angel said ..... The man asked for his cap. But nobody dared to touch his cap. Because it is a sinner’s cap. Then the man told the angel, “Allow me to go in. I will take my cap and go away”. But the angel was afraid that he will go and sit in Heaven and won’t come back. So he did not allow him. So cap went in, but who did not enter? So many people think, “somehow we can go in the last moment”. Let us see who is lucky.
It says Heb.11:40 - “God having provided some better thing for us that they without us should not be made perfect”. They are not perfect without us. Why? This message of Glorification didn’t come to them. It is sealed. It is not written in the Bible. It has been sealed even by Lucifer earlier. So what shall we do? This is the “Seven Thunders”. This is not explained in the Bible, it is only hid in the heart of LORD GOD. What is faith? Evidence of things not seen. Substance of things hoped for. “I am going to prepare a place for you. After I prepare, I will come and receive you unto myself”. Why did He say like this? Does it mean that there is no place for others? Now see when He chooses a Bride, he has to prepare a place for the coming Bride. So He said, “I go to prepare a place for you, and after I prepare, I will come and receive you unto myself”. What does it mean? “Receive you unto myself.” He can’t give you that assurance, unless you come and choose him. So he chose you before the foundation of the world. That is why He said, “The Lamb slain before the foundation of the world”. He is the author and finisher of faith. Who is the author of faith? Jesus Christ. Who finishes the faith? The same Jesus Christ. After He finishes the faith, how can faith be found on the Earth? He said, when He (Son of Man) comes to the Earth, will He find faith? Which faith? Christian faith? It will be there. They thought about that faith only. Whether He will find faith on the Earth?
Faith can come only from the Supreme Sacrifice. Fullness of faith. Like a father, when he put the building. In the beginning, they used to kill something, and shed the blood before they put up the building. That is all remembering the Original Supreme Sacrifice. So when He (God) created all the children, they were called as children of God. And there were Earthly people also. That is why God said, read that verse John 1:13 - “Which were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of god”. So people who have accepted Him, to whom they were born? Hallelujah! They were born not of blood. That is if born of blood they have father and mother. So without being born by blood, how were they born? They are born of water. That is created by God. They have a previous existence. They had the Glory first. To attain that Glory, what did they do In the beginning? This Sacrifice has to come. If that Sacrifice did not come, they can’t even see Christ Jesus. So all what is necessary for them in this world.... who will meet their needs? The Lamb slain before the foundation of the world. If you are sick in body, look at that? Look at that sacrifice. If you have no money, look at that. (Change of tape).
For the children whom He has created, He has already provided everything for them in Him before the foundation of the world. But if you are born to a parent or born by blood or any other way, you have to have provision in the Earth. So what is the greatest sin which God never forgave? That day I told about one sin. Now this is another sin. That day I told when you make a vow, and marry the Lord, then if you go and contaminate yourself with other people, you can’t come back to the Lord again. It is a sin unto death. So keep your body and soul Holy. Now this one, a believer marrying an unbeliever is a sin not forgiven by god. That is why Noah’s world was destroyed. Children of God are like angels. They are gods. They belonged to Heaven. They were created before the foundation of the world. When they marry the people of five senses looking towards the Earth, this union God destroys.
In Noah’s time, Noah’s family only did not mix. They never had touch with the seeing and believing things. So they all came to the Ark listening to Noah. All the other mixed people perished. So why did God say, “When the Son of Man comes to the Earth, will He find faith on the Earth?” - (Luke 18:8). Whose faith? (Someone answers ‘Bride’s faith’). Is it written Bride’s faith? Everything is not for Bride. What is the meaning of it? The people of faith have already gone up by the message. Whoever are not glorified are all in this Earth. The others are already taken up, by faith.
So what is faith? That is why God has been telling us in the Bible, what and what troubles will come to you, how to overcome them, etc. So what is said there? When you walk in the fire, you will not be burnt. When you cross the river, the waters will not come over you. I will not forsake you. I will meet all your needs. To whom it was said? These are the promises given to His people, who were created before the foundation of the world. You don’t pray in that faith. What did God say? If you have faith without doubting, and if you tell this mountain to go and fall into the Sea, it will go. Why don’t you have that faith? Do you know the reason? Because you have not accepted the Supreme Sacrifice. If you accept the Supreme Sacrifice, and then if you look at the mountain and say, “Go and fall into the Sea”, and it will go because it is written like that. If you ask a palmyrrah tree to bend and give milk (its juice) it will do so. All nature will obey in the Name of the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world. In the present day, man shall not live by bread alone but by hearing (and obeying) every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God who has come down.
So among the people there are two kinds of people. One, they who have controlled the five senses and hold them completely in their check. That is why God hates the homosexuals. Because they show that they are praying, only to enjoy and satisfy their lusts, because their five senses are controlling them. Don’t you think God has a medicine for that also? Because we are overcomers. In the righteousness of God we are overcomers. But if anybody just tells, Righteousness of God, Righteousness of God, you are not true. If a man commits a mistake and if they ask him, why did you commit the mistake, they say that they have the Righteousness of God. You can’t claim the full powers. That is the reason you are a five senses man, that is why you are just going on like that, and trying to bring Righteousness of God as an excuse for that. That is why you are under severe punishment. You are not selected before the foundation of the world.
When God created us, He knew what will happen in this world, that is why He told His people who were created in Him and who are going to come into the world .... What did He say at first? “Destroy this temple. Destroy this body I will raise it up!” So that is the First Sacrifice, where the Christ was made Holy, sinless. That is why the Holy ghost was taken out of Him. So see the people who were created before, they were obedient. “Destroy this temple’. Immediately what did they do? They killed Him. They obeyed Him. They obeyed, just like Abraham obeyed. Because of their obedience, what did they achieve? They got the Righteousness of God. Immediately Holy ghost came into them. The Spirit of the Lord came into Christ. So now into whom the Spirit of the Lord has come? Son of David. That is Life. So when He rose again, from then He got the complete control of Heaven. But He had His people on the Earth. For them He gave all the medicine to come over to Heaven. So anything which doesn’t come by faith, it is sin. All murmurings. We don’t have money. Bro.
Lawrie is not giving any money. There is nothing in record for me to give in human way.
Look at the Sacrifice. You may say, Brother, you are that sacrifice. You are asked to look on the Brazen Serpent. Life is inside that Serpent. Now to see down. This is called True Transcendental Meditation or Immortal Yoga. Not just sitting here an thinking of your stomach. This has to go transcendental, to Lucifer’s time, to Creation’s time and go to early time when the Firstborn were created. When you touch that you too go to the Holy place. All the people who died, they come to life again. But you have to touch this life. When you touch this, then only they will come to life. That is why this has been hidden all over the ages.. so all that has to be got from the Earth are already finished before the foundation of the world. What we have to do also, that work is also finished.
Ephesians 2:10 - “For we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them”.... Whatever you are going to do is already written there. You are not to do anything here newly. When did He ordain the way for us to walk? Before we ever came to the Earth. I don’t mean the people of this world, who always think about five senses and sex. So what happens here? Before the foundation of the world, He selected you and me. And He has already planned our lives. So you have a plan to walk not on your own ideas. You have only to walk. You don’t have to go and ask, “Lord, which way I will go?” The Lord has planned everything for you - for good works only. You need not ask for good works. You have to ask God, only when you do bad works. “Lord, I am going for ministry. May I stay in this house?” If it is for bad work, then you come and ask. You don’t ask for bad works. But just you go directly. But you come and ask for good works. Good works, you don’t ask. Good things you don’t have to plan. But only for bad things you have to plan. So all our diseases, God already healed us. You are healed, “By His stripes ye were healed” - (I Peter 2:24). When are we healed? Millions of years ago. He has already healed us. If you have bad eyes, He can give you a new pair of eyes. If you have some trouble in your body, remember the Supreme Sacrifice.
What is the Supreme Sacrifice? The Sacrifice that rose again with life, not at Calvary, and appears along with His Stripes. The Calvary is for Christians. But the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world is life for all, irrespective of religion, caste or creed. It is for you dear one. The children of God participated in The Sacrifice of the Lamb before the foundation of
the world but in Calvary Jesus was killed by Roman Soldiers - for the people of five senses mixed with scattered Jews. By His stripes (marks) we were healed. Then only power comes from that place. Your Eternal life comes from there only. You may call Allah, Narayana, and so on. I am not come to ask about it. The One who died in the beginning. He is the life for you. So this breaks all the denominations. This message breaks your denominations and strikes them into powder. When He came to the Jews, they did not want the Life to go to the gentiles. But God put the Jews there, He put certain tribes there. So God brought a salvation for the Gentiles also. That is why He comes as a Bridegroom, so that by that Love, God could take them and claim them to a higher position. They are in Him before the foundation of the world. So it is not just Theophany body or Theophany or anything but it is a fact. Our body is vanity. This is not Eternal. That is why Paul says, “We have a body Eternal in Heaven to be clothed” - II Cor.5:1-4. Hallelujah! We already have a body there. You can’t go wrong. If you go wrong, that means you don’t have that body. You are asked to hear Iyyah’s voice. Just telling the name of Iyyah and then just telling own thoughts in His name, things which Iyyah has not told, that sin cannot be forgiven. Because you are twisting the Word of God. You have no portion in that Life.
God selected the people who will be true to Him, before the foundation of the world. That is why we are different from other people. If you mix up, God will destroy you. We are already raised up from the Earth. We are sitting with God in Heavenly places, so that we will be glorified soon. Our linen dress is here. You have to prepare for those who are coming into Him. That is why for the gentiles He said: I am going to prepare a place. Because He sent the Judah tribe and everything first. And they were worshipping wood and stone. Now they will have visions and come here. So that they will be taken in Him, wherever He goes. So you have got everything prepared for you in Him. So we are not getting which is not there already. That is why the Lord said, “When you pray whatever you believe that you have, that you will have”. But that was not given for all these 2000 years. To whom it comes now? But now it comes to whom? Hallelujah! Bride gets that power. If you still doubt you are not at all a Bride. If you just look at the mountain and say go, it has to go. Because he said, “All power is given unto Me”. So in the husband’s name, you get all the power. So when the power is given and if you don’t use it you’re the sinner. If you don’t get it you are not a Bride. Because you are coming to such a faith to remove mountains and all these things.
When Elijah was telling the people, he thought that all the people have gone away from God. So he wanted to become a big champion. So he said to Baal’s people, “How long will you halt between two opinions?” He thought that these people have backslidden only now. But when he offered the sacrifice, he saw the Supreme Sacrifice. So then he said, “You have turned their hearts back to you. I am praying now to the Lord to turn their hearts, but you have already turned their hearts in the beginning; before the foundation of the world, you turned their hearts. I am praying like this; No, you have already turned their hearts”. So He (The Lord) sent the fire. The fire did not come by his prayer. When he got the revelation that God has already turned their hearts in the beginning itself, in the Lamb created before the foundation of the world, then fire fell from Heaven. But there is one condition, if you believe without doubting. The doubting season is over. It is the period now, when faith without works is dead. “Brother, I am in Ashram, I need not work. I am preparing for Glory”. James 2:26 - “For as the body without the spirit is dead so faith without works is dead also”. “I believe the sacrifice”, “Oh, I believe the Sacrifice, but it is not for me, but for others”. You are dead. You don’t love the Lord. You don’t pray; all these sleeping people are dead people. You have to be buried. What of dead people? They have to be buried in the pits. But you are the people who are living but are dead. A you come to the service, you are sleeping. Why? You don’t wake up your son nor yourself. A faithless prayer. So what happens here? Faith without works. James 2:18 - “Yea, a man may say, thou hast faith and I have works. Shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works”.
What did Abraham do? When he was asked to sacrifice his son, what did he do? “Lord, I believe your word, surely I believe. But my son you have promised that he will be Eternal. But he cannot die. But I believe you”. He did not say or do like this, he just obeyed; he just obeyed God’s word. Do you obey? “If I leave everything, what will I do for my food?” That is the query troubling you. For that sake only the Supreme Sacrifice is sufficient. So you have to show by your works. If you are roaming around the place for money, what is the use? When you don’t get money, you become angry. If a servant of God will not get money in one place, he will get it somewhere else. All these people are not servants of God.
If you come to the Supreme Sacrifice, you are already in him. All your responsibilities He has already finished before the world began. Then who has started the faith? Jesus Christ, who finishes it? He has to come down and finish it - now He has finished it. So you should have works. What God ordained and wanted to give you, He has already given it in the beginning. So you should have more faith than the ordinary believers and workers. The servants of God period is finished with the Seven Church Ages. Now it is Bride Age, rather, Wife Age. If you think that you are wife, then where will you come up? You come to the position of Mediator. What did Esther do? She protected her people. Nobody can go near the King. Only Esther can go. Even for her, if she will go that day to see King, she may be killed. So she goes with that fear of death to see the King. Then the King showed the sceptre to her. “What do you want? If you wish half of my Kingdom I will give it to you”. If she was not there, the whole Israel race would have been destroyed.
So what is the meaning of Christ coming in you? If you are sitting in Christ’s throne, what does it mean? You are Mediator of the human people. He is Mediator for the Bride, and for all those who are created before the foundation of the world. The King’s love over Esther made her to overcome death because anybody who comes near the King without His call has to die.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU

27TH SEPTEMBER 1986 PM (BOOK)
(EVENING SABBATH DAY) - PM
This morning we were considering how Esther prevailed over Ahasuerus. The general rule is, Anybody goes to see the King should be killed. That time, the Jews were in danger of being killed and destroyed. All the Jews approached Esther through Mordecai to talk with the King. She fasted and when she went to see the King, he had to show his sceptre. If he did not do that, she should have been killed. So she was between two deaths. The Law to kill the Jews was there - that was one death. Second was the death in seeing the King. Esther was between these two deaths. She overcame both deaths. There are two deaths. One is the physical death of the physical body, then spiritual death. So these two deaths we have to face today. And we know we will die according to human custom. But Esther overcame both deaths. And she turned the death to the enemies by the love of the King. Now the love of Esther for the King or the King’s love over her, which love saved her? So she knew that the King loved her. Deep in her heart she would have said, “He can’t be without me”. So that love she has found out in the King. So that love turns the law of death.
Adam did not commit sin, he was Son of God, he can’t sin. Why was he called Son of God? He had already known the Early Sacrifice to call him as Son of God. But the wife was separated after that. Usually wives of the people pull their husbands out. So she ate the fruit. But Adam could have refrained from eating. But for him, the love for Eve was greater than anything. That is why God said, “Therefore for this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave unto his wife”. So He knew a love there which only can separate Him from the human family. God found out that love in His foreknowledge. So from that love He worked out a plan for him, secretly to claim gentiles also back to Heaven.
Now see Jesus was going on to Samaria, (Luke 9:51-56). They didn’t receive Jesus. What did the disciples say? “Shall we bring fire from Heaven?” When will that fire come? That fire will come only by believing the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world. Jesus has to pacify them without using the power. “You don’t know what type of Spirit you have? I have come in search of Bride. If you burn everything, no Bride will come. Then we have to go back, that is all. I agree that your power is there, all right. But if you use it now, I have to be without a wife”. So He said: “You keep quiet, this is not necessary now. You do not know what manner of spirit ye are of”. These people themselves do not know what kind of spirit they have. Whether they have Holy Ghost or Spirit of the Lord? Because they didn’t receive Jesus, they must be killed by fire. That power was already given to them. But that time it will destroy Jesus’ ministry. Same thing all over you find, throughout the Bible from before the Law. I used to wonder how these people such a great faith. Why don’t you have such a faith?
But here you must understand from the beginning, why God selected Noah? Why? With all his drinking habits, he started sacrifice and then God gave him the righteousness. So we can trace from all over the place. Anybody who obeyed God, and got power, they must know the Early sacrifice, not just Calvary. God got very angry with Moses and Moses lost his life. What God said was not written in the Bible. It was written in Bible only after He performed the miracle. First time, He said, “Beat the rock”. Moses beats the rock boldly and water came out. Second time when God asked him to speak to the rock, Moses got confused. “If I beat the rock, I get the power. I see the water coming. If I go and speak to the rock, where is God? It is only rock. Only rock is there. How can it hear? It is deaf?” He went and beat it. Water came but he lost his Eternal life. So today many people take it lightly about the obedience. Disobedience opens the gate for death. Then you must give the Glory to God knowing it is wrong to have disobeyed.
Even it was the same case with the four lepers. (I Kings Ch.7). There was death in the town, people have no food. The enemy camp is outside. There is death outside also. So what do these four lepers say? “Why must we sit here and die?” Many people believe the Truth and everything but they sit and die. That is faith without works. They have to march on. So what do these four lepers say? Those days they knew the secret. So the four lepers got up and walked. There was lot of noise of leaves. But that is heard by the enemies as thousands and thousands of chariots. The loud speakers magnified it. Whose loud speakers? Their faith was the loud speakers. They all ran away. So these four people (they) are enjoying food. That is the march of faith; not just sitting and telling that Iyyah is not giving any money; Iyyah is not giving pocket money. That means you have lost the faith.
So throughout the Bible you find this Early Sacrifice. Even dividing the Sea. What did he say? “Where is God of Elijah?” “Where is the God whom Elijah believed?” That is all. Nothing else. That was able to divide the Jordan river. You better try to divide and see! Divide Tambraparni river into two!! But here the servant did it. Elisha did it. So today you call this as True Transcendental Meditation on Early Sacrifice. First you may not know what is happening. It is dark. Iyyah is telling us to see somewhere far off. Because I am telling you to go back and back into millions and millions of years, before the world was created; before the angels including Lucifer were created; when there were no mountain and no sea. We go into the Holy of Holies, and touch Him. So see what has happened to the Bride members. We were lost in this world. But God took us right into His presence. That will bring jealousy, no doubt. Even in Ashram, people are jealous over one another, just for nothing. Bible tells jealousy will bring disease in bones. We have to surrender our lives fully to see the Early sacrifice; many stumble at it. If you are a human being, you may stumble but not those who were created before the foundation of the world.
Achan hid gold; Babylonian garment and silver. Men with five senses have to strive and plan their lives, but Heavenly people live by the mouth of God. If you believe and pray without doubting you will get it. The Seven Church Messengers had only one seventh of the spirit. Now we go to the garden of Eden, closing our five senses, and then only the Tree of Life can be seen in the Meditation on this Supreme Being. The Lamb which was slain is standing today. You may say, can we see the marks? People in America saw JESUS, not me, while I was preaching. The whole hour I was preaching but they came and asked, “Bro. Lawrie, where did you go in the middle? We saw Jesus preaching with fire coming out of eyes and mouth”. This really confused me. That was the time, the LORD was preparing Me for the Moon landing day.
This ministry will end in power. Let us have creative power. According to your faith, He gives. (Not according to your education, or beauty or height). All miracles in the Bible happened only through Early Sacrifice - “Aadhi Bali”. Now we have come to a time of no faith on the Earth. God comes at this time, when there is no faith on the Earth. If you believe Him, without looking at five senses, you will go in Glory. If you want to go in Glory, look at the lifted Son of Man. To go down, look at the five senses. What will you choose?
The darkness cannot comprehend the Life or the Spirit of the Lord which is the True Light. It has no outward symptom which five senses can enjoy. When you believe the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world, the Spirit of the Lord enters you. This was poured after the Last Camp Meeting (July 1986), when I was feeling sick on the first day but was healed after looking at the lifted Son of Man. You will not feel anything when this Holy of Holies revelation is revealed but you are in Christ Jesus in reality because of the “SUPREME SACRIFICE”. This is our day. Keep on believing that Early sacrifice without seeing anything or hearing anything, and look on with BLIND FAITH ON THE LAMB SLAIN BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD NOW APPEARING WITH HEALING STRIPES BY WHICH YE WERE ALREADY HEALED - I Peter 2:24(c). Not only Healing, all the blessings promised in the Scriptures are ours. Hallelujah.
GOD BLESS YOU.A MYSTERY HIDDEN FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS SINCE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, CONTAINING SECRET OF OVERCOMING DEATH WHICH WAS LOST TO HUMANITY SO FAR AND NOW BEING MADE KNOWN TO THEM FOR GAINING ETERNAL LIFE.
AADHI BALI AS FOUND IN OTHER RELIGIONS (BOOK)
(NOTE: Recently, I have sent out a message on the above subject. Herein you will find what other Religions and their Scriptures, especially the Hindu Vedas and Scriptures, say on “That Great and SUPREME SACRIFICE Before the foundation of the World”. You may study this as PART II of the Message. More parts will follow).
GNAANAANANDAMAYAM DEVAM NIRMALAM SPHATIKAAKRITIM: ADHAARAM SARVAVIDYAANAM HAYAGRIVAM UPASMAHE.
“May I invoke prayerfully THE LORD who came as the SUPREME SACRIFICE, The Embodiment of WISDOM, ETERNAL JOY IN FULLNESS, who is the very Almighty God, The Creator of all, who cam as blemishless, Holy in body (form) as crystal-clear as Sphatika, the Root of all Wisdom and Knowledge - I pray for His Presence”.
Many people especially the Vishnu Bhaktas (Devotees of Narayana) start their activities in any sphere of life, whether in daily routine or in ritual functions, only by first invoking the LORD OF SACRIFICE. He is called as Hayagriva, a name in which the original name of God is sealed. ‘HAYA’ means horse; ‘Griva’ means trunk (above neck). The hidden meaning is actually, One with all His power of Almighty ...... ‘Jyothirmaya Hari iti Haya’. According to Shri Aurobindo, He appeared as Jyothirmayi Hari, as The Redeemer in Glory personified. But the traditional Vedic and Puranic Priests, to impress upon the common people the principle of Sacrifice, depicted Him as Horse-headed Person (Body as a man but head being horselike).
In SRIMAD-BHAGAVATAM, the Supreme Sacrifice is mentioned in Canto.2, Ch.7,
Text.ii as follows:
SATRE MAMAASA BHAGAVAAN HAYA-SHEERASAATHAU
SAAKSHAAT SA YAJNAPURUSHAS TAPANEEYAVARNAHA
CHANDOMAYO MAKHAMAHO AKHILADEVATAATMAA
VAACHO BABHOOVURUSHATHEEHI SHVASATOSYA NASTAHA
“The Lord appeared as the HAYAGRIVA Incarnation in a sacrifice performed by me (Brahman). HE IS THE PERSONIFIED SACRIFICES, and the hue of his body is golden. He is the personified Vedas as well and the SUPER SOUL (PARAMATMA) of all demigods (angels). When He breathed, all the sweet sounds of the Vedic hymns came out of his nostrils”.
In the text Hayagriva is also known as YAJNAPURUSHA, the SACRIFICIAL MAN. How can a man have a horse-head? It is only a metaphor, and the hidden meaning is already given, and that is, the form of Glory is called in this context as ASHWA - (Horse like). The Sanskrit language is such a tricky language that its real meaning is very difficult to contemplate unless and until one is blessed by the very Lord to know the Secret. Hence it is called as DEVANAGIRI, the Language of God.
According to Vedas, a King is recognised only by his capacity of performing the Ashwamedha Yaagam, the Horse Sacrifice. This too was done in the remembrance of THE FIRST SACRIFICE performed by the children of God who were also called as gods, because of their direct creation of God. But they were human beings in Glory (Deva manavas). The first such person created by Almighty God is the so-called BRAHMAN.
In the beginning itself, when there was nothing created, when the Almighty God created in Him all those whom He had ordained, the question came as to their creditability to stay in Heaven as the citizens of Heaven, because to be in Heaven, they ought to have been inspirit and Glory as the Heavenly beings. But before even the angels, etc., were created, The LORD created His people in human form, but filled with Glory. For their sake only, The Same Almighty God (Narayana) came down as the FIRST SACRIFICE. Bhaghavad Gita 3:10: SAHA YAJNAAH PRAJAAH SRSTVAA
PUROVACHAH PRAJAPATIH
ANENA PRASAVISHYADHVAM
ESA VOSTVISHTAKAAMADHUK
“In the beginning of creation (at the time when only Heaven was in existence, not earth), The Lord (The King of Creation and hence called as PRAJAPATHI) told His people who were created then: “Prosper by THIS SACRIFICE: THIS WILL PROVIDE all your requirements (to become Heavenly beings) and the desires which you seek”.
TEXT 3:11
DEVAAN BHAAVAYAATENA TE DEVAA BHAAVAYANTU VAH
PARASPARAM CHAAVAYANTAH SHREYAH PARAMAVAAPSYATHA.
“Through this Sacrifice only, you can please the gods (angels) because then only they will minister unto you and please you and thus there will be mutual cooperation among you all; by this Sacrifice only, you will attain The Highest Abode, The Very Almighty God, (Narayana)”.
There are thousands of interpretations of Bhagavad-Gita by saints and scholars, each trying to prove from this Sacred Scripture that his religion only is true or good. But the Spirit of God which spoke Bhaghavad-Gita has come down today in a human form, being hidden as an ordinary man, but revealing all the secret of God’s Will hidden from the time immemorial. All praise be to the Lord Lahari Narayana, My Master who has come down; He has hidden these secrets in Vedas and Bhagavad-Gita. People of idolatry quote the same Vedas for their support of idolatry, etc. But for us, Glorification of our human bodies (Jeevan mukthi) is our aim. For that purpose only we have come to this earth to prove to the world that God is Truth, and as He is immortal, so also He glorifies us straightaway without death, in His Glory, through that Great Sacrifice, which He performed before the foundation of the world. The proof is in Vedas and Bhaghavad Gita. May the Almighty Lord (Lahari Krishna) bestow His grace on us to know His Plan.
SUPREME SACRIFICE AS IN VEDAS
“Vedaahy Amrtaah” (Chandogya Upanishad. III, 5:4)
Vedas are immortal, because through the First Sacrifice only, the Vedas came as the resultant of that great Sacrifice, when God appeared as the Sacrificial Being (Purusha as a man). He was offered in that Sacrifice and because of that Sacrifice only, as a resultant of that sacrifice, Creation activities took place.
“TASMAAT YAJNAATSARWAHUTAH RCHASSAAMAANY JAJNIRE CHANDAANSI JAJNIRE TASMAAT YADUSTASMAADA JAAYATA”
(Purushasuktha 9)
“From that complete and perfect sacrifice of Adipurusha, the Virat, the Rig veda and Sama vedas originated, followed by the collection of Chandas (Gita?) and Yajur veda also came forth”.
Then only all the creation of universe took place on the burnt ashes of that First Sacrifice. This Supreme Sacrifice is also called as PRAJAPATHI-YAJNAM (Sacrifice of Creator) or
Brahma-Yajnam, Virat-Yajnam, etc.
According to Arsheya Aranyaka, Prajapathi (Creator) offered Himself to Himself as Sacrificial Person to save His own created beings. This is also called as “Purushamedha Rahasyam” (The mystery of Human Sacrifice). This Sacrifice of the First Born (Purusha) was even before the origin of Vedas.
“SARVA PAAPA PARIHAARO
RAKTAPROKSHANAMAAVASHYAKAM TADRAKTAM
PARAMAATMENA PUNYADAANA BALIYAAGAM”. (Sama Veda,
Thandiya Maha Brahmana)
“The sprinkling of Blood is essential for the remission of sin. That blood is shed by the Very Supreme Soul, The Very Creator in that Great Virat Yajnam”.
Even Manu has written in Manu Smriti that
“APARAM VYAVASHTAANUSAARENA RUDHIRAPAATAM VINA
PAAPAVIMOCHANAM NA BHAVATY”
“Without shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin”.
The above mentioned texts do not mean the general rule for remission of sins. God in His foreknowledge, knew all our failures and weaknesses and our sinful nature. So as a remedy for all our failures, He offered Himself as that Supreme Sacrifice of First Born, in the body of man, because the Very God has to come in the last days as THAT MAN. “Kalki jagatpathih harihi” (Bhagavatam) - Kalki is Hari (Lahri), The Lord of this Universe, The Redeemer, hence called as Hari.
The initial Rks of Rig Veda deals with This Sacrifice only. The Rig Veda tells how and when and why that First Sacrifice was sacrificed. For example:
“IYAM VEDIH PARO ANTAH PRITHIVYAA AYAM YAJNO BHUVANASYA NABHIH”
(Rig Veda. Mandala I, Sukta 164, Mantra 35).
“This Sacrifice (FIRST SACRIFICE) is the Root of the whole Universe from now on till the end of the Universe”.
‘PRATHAMMANI DHARMAANI” - ‘First in all Dharma”.
‘YAJNE SARVAM PRATHISHTHITAM” - “Everything is established by the Sacrifice”.
“YAJNENAVA DEVAA DEVAM GATAAH” - “Through this Sacrifice only the gods (children of God) ascended to Heaven”.
“YAJNO VAI SUTARMAANOU” (Rig Veda, Brahmana, 1.3.13)
“Sacrifice (First Sacrifice) is the Perfect ship for floating (on this sea of Samsara)”. RITASYA SAH PRADHAANAYAATI VISHVAANI DURITAAH”
(Rig Veda, Man.10. Sutra 31, Mantra 6)
“Through Sacrifice (First Sacrifice) alone, we are redeemed from the evil of the world and therefore, this Sacrifice (First Sacrifice) is the PRADHANA-KARMA (Karma Yoga of Bhaghavad Gita) of all of us”.
The PURUSHASUKTAM fully deals with the FIRST SACRIFICE only and how God came down and died as FIRST SACRIFICE as the BALI-PURUSHA. That is why that part of Rig Veda is called as PURUSHA-SUKTAM.
SAPTAASYASSATPAH DHAYAH; THRISSAPTA MITHAKRITAH,
DEVAAYAD YAJNAM TANVAANAAH; ABADHNAM PURUSHAM PASHUM” (Rig Veda, Man.10, Anuwaka.13, Sutra.90, Mantra.7)
“The Purusha who was offered as BALI-PASHU-Sacrificial Being - by the gods in the FIRST SACRIFICE was made up of Pancha Pranas - (five breaths), Sapta Nyasas (five senses, ego and mind), Pancha Bootas (five senses organs), i.e. in the flesh form, 5 outer sense organs and five inner sense-controllers”.
This does not mean that this FIRST SACRIFICE was performed after creation. This ADHI PURUSHA contains all the materials of creations in His Body as THE PERFECT MAN and the gods offered Him to Himself as the Sacrifice. This is the real meaning of First Sacrifice. Devas means enlightened beings.
“TAM YAJNAM BARHISHIPROKSHAN, PURUSHA JAATAMAGRAH TATENA DEVAA AJAYANTAH, SAD YA RISHAYASCHAYE”
(Rig Veda.10:13:90:8)
“At the beginning of that Sacrifice, That Adhipurusha - Adhi Bali, was worshipped by all those who offered Him as the Sacrifice”.
THE WHOLE UNIVERSE AS THE SHADOW OF THE SUPREME SACRIFICE
This First Sacrifice is also mentioned in Rig Veda, I Mandala Suktas 24 to 34, Aitareya Brahmana, Krishna Yajurveda - Brahmana, and in the closing chapters of Shathapatha Brahmana.
Whatever is happening in this universe whether they are the traditional rituals like yaagams or the natural happenings like a seed being buried, which sprouts on the third day, all things are the shadow of what happened in the First sacrifice before the creation of the Universe. God appeared in human form, was offered as sacrifice by all those created by Him in Him at that time and He was offered as ‘Havis’ in that Yajnam (Burnt Offering). He became ashes. Then again He rose up in that same glorious form, because He is Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient.
“PLAVAAHYATE ADRIDHAA YAJNARUPAH” (Mundakopanishad 2:7)
“PLAVAAHYATE SURAA YAJNAAH NA SAMSHAYAH” (Skandapurana Yajnavaibhava Kandam, Ch.7).
‘O, gods, Sacrifice is imminent”.
“YAJNOOVAA APATI TASYA CHAAYA KRIYATE” (Thandiya Brahmana)
“The Sacrifice only redeems us. Now whatever is happening in Nature, it is only the shadow of what happened in reality before the world began”.
“ATMADA BALADA YASYA CHAAVAA AMRITAM YASA MRITHYUH” (Rig Veda 10:121:2)
“The shadow of Him whose shadow changes death to immortality (deathlessness), His shadow is the strength of the Soul”.
“VYAVASTHAA BHAVISHYAM - YAJNAANAAM CHAAYA RUPAA TATO HOTOR-NITYE DIYAAMANAIH EKA VIDHAIRVASHIKA BALIBHIH
SHARANAAGATHALOKAAN KARTUM KADAAPI SHAKNOTI” (Dharmashastram)
“Whatever happens in nature in future is the shadow is what happened in the beginning and is not the original reality or the substance”.
That means the First Sacrifice is the Substance and everything else including the Calvary event is the shadow of that SUPREME SACRIFICE (substance). Therefore the surrendered beings offered everything in remembrances of that First Sacrifice only through Yajakas (Priests).
“YATA ETANI CHAYASVARUPANI KINTU SATYAMURTI KRISHNAH”
“This is only the shadow, but the reality personified or Truth is Krishna (Mysterious One, God) or (Lahri Krishna)”.
But One Krishna of Dwapara Yugam came and died. WHO IS THIS KRISHNA SAVE OUR LORD LAHARI KRISHNA!!! It was He who died as The First (Supreme) Sacrifice. Now He has come in His own Form (Body( to take us all in Glory with Him. Here Krishna means, the Mysterious One (or Black Man). Even Vasudeva Krishna advised His people to worship THAT KRISHNA who is Eternal (Bhagavatam - Govardhanagiri episode) who comes as King of Universe, Lord of Creations, in the end of the world.
“YAJAMANAH PASHUH YAJAMAANAMEVA SVARGAM GAMAYATI” (Aitareya Brahmana)
“The LORD is the Sacrifice and He alone ascends to the Heaven”.
“TASYA PRAJAAPATERARTHAMEVA SATYA MARTYAMAASIRARTHAM AMRITAM” (Shathapatha Brahmana)
“(In Prajapati Yajnam) the Prajapati (Creator), being both Human and God in person, He offered Himself His human body and defeated death by His Glorious Form”. “PRAJAPATIR DEVEBHYA ATMAANAAM YAJNAM KRITVAH PRAYASCHIT” (Tandiya Maha Brahmana)
“Prajapati (Creator) performed the Sacrifice by offering Himself as Sacrifice to save the gods, in the beginning”.
“VISHVAKARMAA SARVAANI BHUTANI JAHAVAANCHAKAARA;
SA ATMAANAM TATO JAHAVAAM CHAKAARA” (Rig Veda)
“The Creator offered Himself as Sacrifice to save the whole creation. He is both human and God in form”.
Commenting on the Sacrifices in a book, “Naramedham, Ashwamedham”, Sri. K. Srinivasa Rao, M.A., LL.B. of Bellary has written as follows:
“In Taithiriya Aranyaka, it is written, ‘O Death, through this mystery of FIRST SACRIFICE, I destroy all your power of destroying the life of people and universe”. The mystery of this Sacrifice is nothing but that the very Creator before the beginning of creation sacrificed Himself in the form of the Perfect Purusha (Man) to Himself. The Unseen God, Almighty in power, being full of Glory, that PURUSHOTAMA took the form of a human man and offered His own body as SACRIFICE.
Even in Shathapatha Brahmana, it is written that to redeem the whole universe the very Creator became that Sacrifice (Offering). Through this First Sacrifice He created he whole Universe and redeemed it and filled the whole universe by His Spirit and Power.
That is why the Vedic Hindus deeply believe in that fact that God offered His own human body to Himself as Sacrifice for the welfare of the whole Universe.
“NAANYAH PANTHAAYA VIDYATE AYANAAYA”
“Mukti - Glory cannot be attained by any other way except through that Virat Bali - Purusha who offered Himself as FIRST SACRIFICE.
TAITTIRIYA UPANISHAD
“SA VA ESHA PURUSHA ANNARASAMAYAHA. TASYEDAMEVA SIRAHA. AYAM DAKSHINA PAKSHAHA. AYAM UTTARA PAKSHAHA. AYAMATMA. IDAM IDAM PUCCHAM PRATHISHTA. TADAPYESHA SHLOKO BHAVATI” (Chapter II, Anuvaka.I).
“He Indeed is this man, consisting of the essence of Annam (Sacrifice). This is his head. This is his right wing (shoulder). This is his left wing. This is his trunk (neck) or soul.
This is the hind part forming support and foundation. About this also is this verse”.
So what is ANNAM? It is not the ordinary food that is consumed. The meaning of Annam is as follows:
AADYATE: That which is eaten.
ATTI: That which eats.
Hence it is called as ANNAM.
We consume the ordinary food but that food cannot consume us. So the real meaning of this word is hidden. Even in Bhaghavad Gita 3:14, it is said that all beings, both inanimate and animate, are formed out of ANNAM, which is the result of pouring of rain; rain is caused by the SACRIFICE.
In Chapter II of this Upanishad, it is said that ‘Satyam Jnanam Anantam Brahma’. BRAHMAN (OMNISCIENT GOD) is the TRUTH, WISDOM, THE INFINITE, existing in TRANSCENDENTAL SPACE. This State of God is called as (PARAMATMA) ‘ATMAN’: This Atman is entirely different from the human soul which is also called as Atman, in Sanskrit. SECTION - 2
“ANNADVAI PRAJAH PRAJAYANTE. YAH KASCHA PRUTHIVEEM SRITAHA. ATHO ANENNAIVA JEVANTI. ATHAINADAPI YATYANTATAHA. ANNAM HI

JYESHTHAM. TASMAT SARVAUSHADHAM UCHYATE. ANNAD BHOOTANI JAYANTE.
JATANI ANNENA VARDHANTE. ADYATE ATTI CHA BHOOTANI. TASMAT ANNAM TADUCHYATA ITI”
“All beings that exist on earth are born of ANNAM. They thereafter live by Annam. They ultimately go back to merge and to become Annam. So verily Annam is the First of all the Creations. On that ground it is called the HEALER for all. All beings are born from ANNAM; having been born they grow by ANNAM. Annam is invoked as BRAHMA (GOD), THE CREATOR. Annam is that which is eaten by the beings and also that which is in the end eats them; therefore ANNAM is called as BRAHMAN (ATMAN)”.
The First Sacrifice is hidden in this name ANNAM only. It is the name given by the Vedic Scholars to the FIRST BORN of God so as to hide the secret name (Lahari) of That Purusha from the eyes of the worldly people.
“SA EVA PURUSHA ANNARASAMAYAHA” ....
This Man (Purusha) is containing all the essential essence of Annam (both the qualities of Sacrificed and the SACRIFICER. The Vedic Scholars like Sureshwaracharya describe this portion as secret knowledge dealing with the Sacrifice, of some special significance! That is what God had revealed now in these last days that God Himself appeared as Purusha-Bali (Human Sacrifice) in that FIRST SACRIFICE before the creation of the Universe, and that because of that Sacrifice only the whole creation resulted and its blessings still continuing till the end of the world, when the same God has now appeared in that same form of FIRST BORN PURUSHA, to take us all who believe in Him, in Glory with Him, to live with Him and in Him for ever in Heaven. This is the aim and mystery of Vedas and Bhagavad Gita, hidden from the times immemorial, but is now revealed by the Very Author, The Creator Himself, who is called by numerous names like Narayana, Allah, Jesus etc.
It is needless to say now the importance of the First Sacrifice which is called by the name ANNAM, but in Section 7 of Chapter III, Bhriguvalli, it is said as follows: “Annam na nindyat. Tadvratam. Prano va annam. Sareeramannadam.
Prane sareeram pratishtitam. Sarere pranah pratishtitaha.
Tadetat annam anne prathishtitam veda prathitishtati. Annavan annado bhavati. Mahan bhavati prajaya pasubhih Brahmavarchasena Mahan Keertya”.
“Do not blaspheme ANNAM (SACRIFICE). That shall be your vow. Prana (soul) is the Annam (Sacrifice). Body is the eater of Annam (Sacrifice). The body is fixed in Prana (soul). The Prana (soul) is fixed in the body. Thus Annam (Sacrifice) is fixed in Annam (Sacrificer). He who knows this becomes one with BRAHMAN (Creator). He becomes possessed of ANNAM (SACRIFICE) and he becomes the eater of the Annam (Sacrifice). He becomes great in progeny, in cattle, and in splendour of the Glory of Brahma (Creator). He becomes great in fame”.
Prana means the LIFE. Therefore this hymn declares that the Life of the Sacrifice is fixed in the body of the Sacrificer; that is, those who have participated in the First Sacrifice are the partakers of the Divine Nature of the Firstborn, Who is very God Himself. So as He is deathless even though in human form, so also we are immortal if we believe that He died as First Sacrifice for our sake.
This Upanishad ends with the glorious moment of the Realisation of the FIRST BORN about Himself, when He got the revelation that He is the Form of God. It is quoted here with all due reverence to Him.
“HA VUHU VU HAVU. AHAMANNAM AHAMANNAM AHAMANNAM. AHAMANNADO AHAMANNADO ANAMANNADAHA. AHAM SLOKAKRUT AHAM SLOKAKRUT AHAM SLOKAKRUT. AHAMASMI PRATHAMAJA RUTASYACHA. PURVAM DEVEBHYO AANNAMDADANTAMADMI, AHAM VISHVAM BHUVANAMABHYABHAVAAM. SUVARNAJYOTHIHI. YA EVAM VEDA. ITI UPANISHAT”.
“O, O, I am the Annam (Sacrifice). I am the enjoyer of Annam (Sacrifice). I am the author of Sloka (Hymn) Gita, etc. I AM THE FIRST BORN of the True (Rit-Truth). Before gods, I am the immortal. Whoever offers to me saves himself. I am the Annam (Sacrifice) that enjoys him who eats Annam (Sacrifice). I HAVE CONQUERED ALL IN THIS WORLD. I AM LUMINOUS LIKE SUN. Thus only is Veda. Thus is Upanishad”.
This part of knowledge is called ‘Bhargavi Vidya’ (Knowledge of the Son of Prajapati, Creator). That is why it is said in Bhaghavat Gita by Sri Krishna that ‘MAHARSHINAM BHRUGURAHAM” - “Among the sages, I am Bhrigu”.
Thus that Same Adipurusha who has come down on this earth has regained His Original Revelation of Himself that as Sacrifice of Parama Purusha, in that Supreme Sacrifice, He has conquered the whole Universe and is now waiting for the proper time to take over its reign.
Time is no more. He who believes Him is saved. He who rejects him is damned. Such is the Truth. May the lord our Creator, guide us to be in Him for ever in His Truth.
AADHI BALI IN BHAGAVAD GITA
(IN THE LIGHT OF SUPREME SACRIFICE)
“SARVA SHASTRAMAYI GITA” - “Gita contains all the Scriptures”. But it is more than this, because it has come from the lips of the Very Lord who came as Krishna. Especially after the Revelation of the Supreme Sacrifice, the Scripture Bhaghavad Gita has become a new book. Really God has hidden this secret of Supreme Sacrifice from the eyes of the socalled self-righteous people who call themselves as saints and bhagavans.
The Truth that Life and Glorification (Moksham) come by the acceptance of this Supreme Sacrifice is fully explained in a special way but hiding the secret and sealing the same in figures of speech.
“Yajna” mentioned in Bhaghavad Gita as in Vedas applies only to this Supreme Sacrifice of the Beginning; but people and sages of later times gave prominence to the subsequent supplementary traditions of sacrifices called Yajnas but hiding the FIRST SACRIFICE, in which the Life is.
This is an humble attempt to present the hidden truth of Supreme Sacrifice revealed by the Lord of Secrets (and hence called as Krishna - Lahari). The same Spirit that spoke Gita through Shri Krishna in Dwaparayugam is the same spirit of Almighty that is giving the revelation of Supreme Sacrifice in these last days. The same spirit of Almighty taught this Immortal Yoga to Prajapati Brahma before the creation. Hence Bhaghavad Gita opens the understanding of the human mind, provided a man accepts this Supreme Sacrifice, wherein God Himself came as a sacrificial human being (in the likeness of the present form of His body) and after the sacrifice, He rose up in the same body with Glory, because He is God. This is the secret of the Gita, especially in Purushottama yoga.
KARMA YOGA: (Chapter III)
“YAJNARTHAT KARMANONYATRA LOKOYAM KARMA-BANDHANAH, TAD-ARTHAM KARMA KAUNTEYA MUKTA-SANGAH SAMACARA”. (Text.9)
“Man is bound by his own Karma except when it is performed for the sake of SACRIFICE. Therefore Arjuna, perform your Karma without any attachment for the sake of SACRIFICE alone”.
To kill life, whether of animal or man, is sin against God. But this text says that if such an act is done for the sake of Sacrifice, it is not sin. When the children of God created before the foundation of the world hesitated in the beginning to kill the One who came as Sacrifice, God then pacified them by this Text.
“SAHAYAJNAH PRAJAH SRISTVA PUROVACHAH PRAJAPATHIHI ANENA PRASAVISYADHVAM ESA VESTVISHTA KAMADHUK”. (Text.10)
“In the beginning, Prajapati (Creator) having created the people (his own) along with the SACRIFICE (Being) told them: “Ye shall prosper by this Sacrifice; may this yield the enjoyment ye seek”. What enjoyment did the children of God seek? The only enjoyment desired by them is to be forever with the lord. That is why God teaches them this important aspect of Sacrifice.
Obeying God’s Word and participating in that Supreme Sacrifice amounts to KARMA YOGA. The children of God obeyed implicitly and performed That Sacrifice, because of their complete faith in God that He would rise again in the same body. Their complete devotionon God made them to obey God’s command and that devotion is the Bhakti Yoga of Gita. Karma Yoga and Bhakti Yoga go hand in hand.
There is another hidden secret in the Text. ‘Pura’ means the beginning but there is another meaning also, ‘body’ (flesh). If we sue this meaning here, that means The Very Creator came in flesh as the Sacrifice and told them to offer Him as Sacrifice!!! “DEVAAN BHAAVAYATAANENA TE DEVAA BHAVAYANTU VAH
PARASPARAM BHAVAYANTAH SHREYAH PARAMAVAAPSYATHA” (Text.11)
“Foster the gods through this Sacrifice and let the gods (angels) be gracious to you. Each fostering the other disinterestedly you will attain the highest abode, the very Lord Himself”.
Through the Supreme Sacrifice only, we, the children of God have got the preeminence over the angels also; because angels can become human beings. But God has bestowed this grace upon us that we are in the human bodies at the time when the very Creator is in His own Gentile human form on this earth, who is no other than our Master, Lord Lahari who has given this Supreme Revelation of Himself to us. Also He has created us all in Him in glorious bodies before the creation of this world, to be deathless, to be for ever in Him with Him. For this purpose only, God Himself came and died as Supreme Sacrifice, whom we all offered to Himself. God has taken away our death, our sickness, and our sins and all other aspects which harm us, and approved and blessed our attempts to reach Him, even in the beginning of times.
“ISTAAN BHOGAAN HI DEVAA DAASYANTE YAJNABHAAVITAAH
TAIT DATTAAN APRADAAYAIBHYO YO BHUNKTE STENA EASAH” (Text.12)
“Fostered by the Sacrifice, the gods (angels) will surely bestow (minister) you unasked all the desired enjoyments. He who enjoys the gifts bestowed on Him without giving Glory and thanks to God in return, is undoubtedly a thief”.
Through this Supreme Sacrifice the whole Heavenly Army is at our disposal!!! It is beyond our human conception. But this is true.
“YAJANA-SHISHTAASHINAH SANTO MUCHYANTE SARVA-KILBISHAIH
BHUNJATE TE TV AGHAM PAAPAA YE PACHANTY ATMA-KAARANAAT” (Text.13)
“The Virtuous (righteous) who partake of what is left over after Sacrifice are absolved of all sins. Those sinful ones who cook for the sake of nourishing of their body alone eat only their sin”.
All our sins are forgiven only because of that Supreme Sacrifice. Whoever accepts that Sacrifice of God is undoubtedly in the original Creation of God and all his sins were purged away already. But those people who take this Supreme Sacrifice for their sensuous desires, will face the wrath of God because their sin remaineth.
“ANNAAD BHAVANTI BHUTAANI PARJANYAADANNA SAMBHAVAH YAJNAT BHAVATI PARJANYO YAJNAH KARMAH SAMUCCHAYAM” (Text.13)
“All beings (animate and inanimate) are evolved from ANNAM (SACRIFICE). Annam (Food) is dependent on rain; rain ensues from Sacrifice and Sacrifice is rooted in the Karma”. “KARMA BRAHMODBHAVAM VIDDHI BRAHMA AKSHARA-SAMUDHAVAM
TASMAAT SARVAGATAM BRAHMA NITYAM YAJNE PRATHISHTITHAM” (Text.15)

The Lamb Slain Series – Aadhi Bali as Found in other Religions (Book)
“Know that Karma originated from Brahma (vedas) and the (vedas) Brahma proceeded from the WORD (AKSHARA-INDESTRUCTIBE) GOD; hence the pervading INFINITE is always present in SACRIFICE”.
This text reveals that Brahma performed that Supreme Sacrifice; He is formed by AKSHARA, THE IMPERISHABLE ONE. That Brahma the Infinite is always present in that Supreme Sacrifice.
Many people think that rain comes through normal ecological cycle as explained in the above texts of the Scripture. Why is there no rain at all in Tamil Nadu and other parts of India? India which once was the most flourishing country of the world, today is reeling under terrible famine and horrible droughts. The Thar Desert of Rajasthan was once a fertile land. Why all this? Because we have fallen from the original position where God crated us and kept us. God told us to obey Him and believe His Sacrifice. But instead, we Hindus have become slaves of our human made traditions and rituals and doctrines and left the original Vedas and ORIGINAL GITA CONCEPT OF THE SUPREME SACRIFICE OF GOD, PRAJAPATI YAJNAM, performed by all of us before the creation of the Universe, when we were created by Him in Glory.
“BRAHMAARPANAM BRAHMA HAVIHI BRAHMAAGNAU BRAHMANAAHUTAM BRAHMAIVA TENA GANTAVYAM BRAHMA KARMA SAMAADHINAA” (Gita 4:24)
“In the practice of seeing Brahma (Creator) everywhere as a FORM OF SACRIFICE; Brahma is the ladle with which the oblation is poured into fire, etc; Brahma again is the oblation; Brahma is the fire; Brahma himself the sacrificer; and so Brahma himself constitutes the karma of pouring the oblation into the fire and finally Brahma is the goal to be reached by him who is absorbed in Brahma as the act of such sacrifice” .... This is the essence of Supreme Sacrifice.
“DAIVAM EVAAPARE YAJNAM YOGINAH PARYUPAASATE
BRAHMAAGNAAVAPARE YAJNAM YAJNENAIVOPAJUHVATI” (Gita 4:25)
“Others sacrifice only in the shape of worship to gods; others pour the very sacrifice in the shape of their self into the fire of Brahma through the sacrifice known as perception of identity (Self-surrender)”.
“YAJNASHISTA AMRITHA-BHUJO YAANTI BRAHMA SANATANAM NAAYAM LOKOSY AYAJNASYA KUTONYAH KURUSATTAMA” (Gita 4:31)
“Arjuna, those who enjoy the deathlessness (Amritham) because they consume the reminder of the SACRIFICE, attain the Eternal Brahma, The Creator. To the man who does not offer sacrifice (Supreme Sacrifice) even this world is not happy; how then can the other world be happy?”
This is that Supreme Sacrifice. By looking up to this Sacrifice only, we live in Him. Words fail to emphasize this Supreme Reality hidden from the eyes of the world.
This is the wheel of Creation set by God before the beginning of Creation as explained in Bhaghavad Gita 3:16.
This is the Immortal Yoga and the True Transcendental Meditation which Krishna taught to Arjuna. Infact God imparted this Yoga to Prajapati, and Prajapati (according to Chandogya Upanishat) to Manu and his descendants. The same God came again into Krishna and imparted this hidden truth to Arjuna, because this knowledge was lost in ages. Krishna says that this is a supreme secret. If so how can anyone know this unless He Himself is the Revealer of Secrets? (Gita 4:1-3). God has repeatedly performed His miracles by revealing His secrets hidden from the times immemorial. This much is true. Those people, all of them, the ancient people died natural deaths, inspite of knowing this Supreme Sacrifice, because all the past Avatars (Incarnations) were all having only Amshas of the Great God Almighty. But today That same Almighty God has come down as that Purushottama Narayana, Lahari in His own human form, so humble he looks, that the whole world stumble at His outward appearance. But the fullness of God is He Himself. “SARVAM KRISHNAMAYAM JAGAT” - As per the ancient sages, the whole universe is full of Krishna. Sri Aurobindo said: SARVAM NARAYANAMYAM JAGAT”. But we go still further boldly and proclaim: “SARVAM LAHARIMAYAM JAGAT”. LAHARI (LAWRIE) IS ALL IN ALL FILLING THE WHOLE UNIVERSE.
PURUSHOTTAMA YOGA
(The Path of Supreme Purusha) (Gita Ch15)
Many scholars of Gita have explained this Purushottama Yoga according to their own thinking because the Perfect Revelation of God-head did not come till the coming of the Very Lord Himself in these last days in His own body (Lahari). The revelation given by Him through His Spirit has opened our understanding. It has enabled us to look right up at the Supreme Sacrifice slain before the Creation through Immortal Yoga or True Transcendental Meditation.
SRI BHAGAVAN UVACHA
URDHWVA-MOOLAM ADHAH-SHAKHAM ASHVATTHAM PRAAHURAVYAYAM CHANDAAMSI YASYA PARNAANI YASTAM VEDA SA VEDAVIT” (Text.1)
“Thus saith the Lord Bhagavan: He who knows the Ashvattha Tree (Peepul or Shami Tree) (in the form of creation) which is said to be IMPERISHABLE with its root in the PRIMEIVAL BEING (God), whose stem is represented by Brahma (the Creator), and whose leaves are the Vedas, is a wise man having the knowledge of the Vedas”.
“ASHVAITTHA” means “that which will not wait till the Dawn, that is, does not depend upon the daylight; Jyothiramaya Rupaha: Form of Light. One has to wait for the Sun to drive the darkness of the night away. But This Form does not require the light of this Universe, for He is the very Light Itself. That is why the Vedas say: “TAT EVA VIDYUT BRAHMAASI”. HE ALONE IS THE LIGHT, THE CREATOR.
God has sealed the name of Supreme Sacrifice in this name of a tree ASHVATTHA. Usually a tree types a man. That is why even it is said in Bhaghavad Gita Chapter 10:26 “ASHVATTHAH SARVA VRIKSHAANAM” - “Among all trees, I am the Ashvattha, (the Holy fig tree)”. That is why even today this tree is considered as Holy tree, the most sacred one, by Vedic Brahmins. Its leaves are used in offering oblations in sacrifices. Its branches etc., are used as SAMITHS (Holy wood) in sacrifices. The Ashvattha branch is lifted up by the Brahmins as well as Kshatriyas as their ensign in their annual religious functions like Upakarmas and Vijaya Dashami. All these traditions are nothing but in remembrance of that Supreme Sacrifice. Generally Hindu Royal Kings worship this tree on the Vijaya Dashami Day as a mark of going for war. They cut the branch of the Tree and then go for war and then return. That is, one overcomes the evil only through the Sacrifice of That Supreme Purusha. All the usual Agnihotras sacrifices indicate this Supreme Sacrifice. That is why this Yoga is called by the name of PURUSHOTTAMA YOGA. “NA RUPAMASYEHA TATHOPALABHYATE
NAANTO NA CHAADIRNA CHA SAMPRATHISHTHA
ASHVATTHAMENAM SUVIRUDHAMULAM
ASANGASHASTRENA DRIDHENA CHITTHAM” (Text.3)
“This Tree has neither beginning nor end, nor even stability (is perishable). Therefore cut this tree which is most firmly rooted, with the formidable axe of dispassion”.
How can one being that which is endless and beginningless, and is, therefore, Eternal, be unstable too, unless the form is the perishable human man but the spirit inside is THE
VERY ALMIGHTY GOD HIMSELF?
“TATAH PADAM TATPARIMARGITAVYAM
YASMIN GATAA NA NIVARTANTI BJUOYAH
TAMEVA CHAADYAM PURUSHAM PRAPADYE
YATAH PRAPRITTIH PRASRITAA PURAANI” (Text.4)
“Thereafter a man (you) should diligently seek for THAT SUPREME STATE, viz., God, having attained to which they return no more to this world; and having fully resolved that he stands dedicated to that primeval Being - Purusha (God Narayana) Himself, from whom the flow of His beginningless creation has progressed, he should dwell and meditate on Him”.
“UTTAMAH PURUSHASTVANYAH PARAMAATMETY UDAAHRITAH YO LOKATHRAYAMAAVISHYA BIBHARTYAVYAYA ISHVARAH” (Text.17)
“The Supreme Person is yet other than the perishable and imperishable beings (Purushas) and who having entered all the three worlds, upholds and maintains all and who has been spoken of as the imperishable Lord and the Supreme Spirit”.
“YASMAAT KSHARAM ATEETOHAM AKSHARAADAPI CHOTTAMAH ATOSMI LOKE VEDE CHA PRATHITHAH PURUSHOTTAMAH” (Text.18)
“Since I am wholly beyond the perishable world of matter or Ksetra and am superior even to the imperishable soul, hence I am known as PURUSHOTTAMA in the world as well as in the Vedas”.
Thus it is quite clear in BHAGHAVAD GITA that the same Imperishable God Our Creator appeared Himself in the perishable human form as SUPREME SACRIFICE. That is why even in Vedas and Puranas, there are instances of Sacrifices called ‘PURUSHA MEDHA’ (SACRIFICE OF HUMAN BEINGS) which is considered as SUPREME SACRIFICE. It does not mean that such sacrifices of human beings has to be carried out as ANANDA MARGIS propagate and practice. It is fanaticism, they do not have the perfect revelation of God-head. For the sake of the whole universe to be created, for its welfare and for the forgiveness of sins of the whole world, God the Creator Himself once came and died as SUPREME SACRIFICE and whosoever believes this Truth, may rest assured with full hope and confidence in Him, because all of us (the believers) are the original participants of that SUPREME SACRIFICE. We are not human beings like others of the world. We have a pre existence even before the creation of the universe. We were created in Glory in the beginning itself and were made Holy through the SUPREME SACRIFICE, and were created without death being full of light, life and Eternal joy in Him. Now we have come along with Him into this world, with Our Lord to prove to this world that God’s choice or selection of ourselves as Heavenly beings is correct and that we are in that SUPREME LIGHT (JYOTHIRMAYA HARI - LAHARI) while the whole world is in gross darkness. Because the world has rejected that Supreme Sacrifice, God has come down to judge the whole world by His Word of Judgement.
THE NAME OF GOD: There are many common names by which God the Creator is called by the people of the whole universe, viz., Narayana, Allah, Christ Jesus, Brahma, Jehovah, Iswara etc., but all these names depict one or the other special characters of God.
But God has revealed HIS PERSONAL NAME fully only now in these last days. The name “L A H A R I” means “LAYAM HARAYITI ITI LAHARI” - One who destroys the destroyer (evil). The Hindus call the same name as HARI or HARA. This is also due to the fact that God’s Name should not be taken in vain. But the power falls on this Name “L A H R I”, and in this name “LAHRI” only, we overcome death and evil and anything that comes against us. Having perfect faith in that Supreme Sacrifice and believing that the same God Narayana has come down as LAHRI in these last days to take us in Glory in Him without death, we all have become imperishable, indestructible and eternally glorious divine beings, the original children of the household of God.
MAY THE LORD LAHARI KRISHNA BLESS US ALL FOR EVER

Section 2
Vishnu Of Vedas Is The Lord God (Christ Jesus) Of Bible (Another Mystery Hidden Since Foundation Of World) - According To Bhavishya Maha Purana, By Sage Veda Vyasa, Author Of The Four Vedas And Eighteen Puranas.
VISHNU OF THE VEDAS (BOOK)
It is a well known truth among Hindus that Veda Vyasa, also called by the name Badarayana (Ancient Man) Krishna Dwaipayana etc, compiled the Four Vedas which was being recited from the time of Creation by the Vedic sages passed on orally by tradition from generation to generation. It is only Vyasa who compiled them all into four Vedas. Apart from the Vedas, Veda Vyasa was the author of “Itihasa” - Maha Bharata, being the contemporary. He wrote 18 Puranas, viz.
18th is the prophetical work compiled by Veda Vyasa about the Future Events of KaliYuga.We know that we are at the end time of this Universe, through the mighty revelations given by Our Lord God. But do we know the name of the Lord God by which Vyasa called him, rather the people of those times in the then world? It is the same Lord God who has spoken in diverse manners, not merely to Jews who think that they only are the chosen race, or not merely to the so-called Christians who think that only they are saved by Jesus and all others are damned. Then only the verse becomes true that He is the Justifier of all. So Lord God revealed to Veda Vyasa some of the secrets of His Forthcoming manifestations for the “MELECCHA” people, who are none but the Adamic generation according to Vyasa’s Bhavishya Purana. We know that there ws a major flood in which the whole world was destroyed which was even before Adam. There are some historic doubts about the Maha Bharata War. According to Veda Vyasa this Maha Bharata War was started on Amavasya (Nil Moon) day of Oct. 3138 B.C. (refer Ananda Vikatan, Tamil Weekly Mag.23.5.1983). This means Vyasa and Maha Bharata belong to pre-flood period of Noah’s time.
But this Bhavishya puranam reveals much deeper facts. It predates Maha Bharata War even before Angelic flood period. (Bhavishya Purana, P.Parva, II Canto, Ch.1). In fact 1600 years were remaining after Maha Bharata War for the completion of Dwapara Yuga. Then came the Yuga Pralayam (Angelic Flood period) - the end of Dwapara Yuga. Bhavishya Puranam. P.Parvam, Ch.4 Text.16, deals with the Kali Yuga i.e. the birth of Adamic generation. Here Vyasa has prophetically written the dialogue Lord Vishnu had with Kali (Satan?). Even though Kali (Satan) enters into the world at the death of Yuga Purusha, Krishna, yet he is powerless, within the transitional period as explained in this Purana (About 2000 years).
Bhavishya Purana. P.Parvam, Ch.4 Text.19
Mystically speaking too, Vyasa records rather foretells the coming genealogy of Adam (who is called as “MLECCHA” because of his disobedience to the commandment of Vishnu not to eat of the fruit of tree of sin). So exact it is that the same is given below to give an idea for the reader, how perfect Veda Vyasa was in his prophecy!!!
Page 3772 of 9296
The Lamb Slain Series – Vishnu of The Vedas (Book)
VISHNU OF THE VEDAS IS THE LORD GOD (CHRIST JESUS) OF THE BIBLE
This same Messaiah (Jesus) is otherwise called as Buddha in Srimad Bhagavatam. (Canto.1. Ch.3. T.24)
“BUDDHO NAMNA AJANA SUTAHA KEEKATESHU BHAVISHYATI”.
Buddha will be born as a Son of Ajana (Son of God) in Keekati. Shree Shridara Swami an ancient authority interprats Keekati as “Bhomadya Bhaga” (centre of the earth). How can Gaya then be the centre of the earth? How then can Gautama (born to a man) be called as Buddha in this context? Please just think for a moment. The whole world knows (except the Buddhists) the Mediterranean region (Jerusalem) as the centre of the earth.
Thus if what Bhavishya Purana’s prophecies are true in all respects though king Shalivahana refused to accept Jesus as incarnation of Vishnu, the very Lord Vishnu tells Kali (Satan) that He himself will come in Adamic generation.
This does not end here (Jesus) itself. Finally the Bhavishya Purana prophesies the coming of the very Lord Vishnu as Kalki Avatar, combining both kingship and priesthood into one, Himself. HE being the King of Universe is also the only JAGATGURU the High Priest. There is nobody else other than Kalki Avatar of the end time who is nothing but the FIRST-BORN according to Bhavishya Puranam. (Canto.3, Ch.25, T.26). Many so-called Bhagavans may mushroom around the world but the real Bhagwan will never die. He is the FIRST-BORN according to Bhavishya Puranam. (Canto.3, Ch.25, T.26). Yes, He is the Real First-Born.
Watch for Him, when He proclaims “I AM”, there can be no impersonations because except Him, all others are mortally afraid or death. The real BHAGWAN NEVER DIES. HE IS IMMORTAL, ETERNAL, FIRST OR CREATION, SELF-EXISTING (SWAYAMBU) AS MAN EVEN BEFORE THE BEGINNING.
This subsequent text describes Him, to hail from Royal-Priest clan from Karma Bhoomi. South India is called as Karma Bhoomi by Vedic Scholars. North India is Punniya Bhoomi, The remaining texts describe how THE KALKI AVATAR REVEALS HIMSELF, His position as FIRST-BORN revealing the mysteries hidden in the Scriptures.
Thus by comparing Shreemad Bhagavatam and Bhavishya Puranam compiled by the one and same person, Veda Vyasa, it is crystal clear that the next incarnation of Lord God Vishnu is Jesus the Messaiah (Buddha, the world Teacher). In these last days, the very Vishnu, the Lord God is come as Lord Kalki (Lahari) from a place near Tambraparni river, in Sambhala Gramam (Nazareth of India, or Manujothi Ashram) in Dravida Desham, i.e. South India, Karma Bhoomi.
Thus the Lord Vishnu of Vedas is called as Lord-God Almighty by the patriarchs (Abraham) who went out of Vedic India, as per the genuine will of God. That is why in Vedas it is said VISHNOH PARAMATMA Devatha - The Supreme Spirit is the Lord Vishnu.
The Vishnu Chakra, the special weapon of Vishnu destroying the evil forces of the Universe depicts the Star of David appearing as a wheel while rotating (More details of Vishnu Chakra will follow). (Which is the secret of Atoms and Electrons).
From the comparative study of Bhavishya Purana and the Bible, we find that the Hindus of India are calling the descendants of Abraham (Shem) as Milechas while the Jews call all the non-Jews including us as Heathen, especially Hindus as worshippers of wood and stone, and Heathen, especially Hindus as worshippers of wood and stone, and Heathen and Godless people; others they called as gentiles. By this mutual hatred against each other, the two great races of one and the same Person SHEMA (SHEM) the original King of India, did lose the Revelation of Godhead. Hindus were strictly following the Original Supreme Sacrifice till the time of Shalivahana but on hearing the Sacrifice of Jesus, suddenly blacked out that Supreme Sacrifice and just followed the traditional yagams by pouring ghee, etc., and also be resorting to their self-righteous methods of Yoga and Meditation on Shakti, etc. By this they lost the LIFE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD COMING THROUGH THE SACRIFICE (SUPREME SACRIFICE) and followed the daughter of a strange god as said in the book of Malachi.2:11:
“JUDHA hath dealt treacherously and an abomination is committed in Israel and Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the Holiness of the Lord which he loved and hath married the daughter of a strange god”. - - - - Thus the Hindus started following Shakti worship.
So SANATANA DHARMA OF GITA was blacked out and Shakti worship came among the Hindus. For example, Shri. Aurobindo says about his vision of Narayana putting Gita into his lap and commanding him to preach the SANATANA DHARMA OF GITA; but later on he switched over to Shakti and Kali worship.
God’s people and prophets are raised to mislead or stray the false ones who are not on the written Word of God (Scriptures) but correctly lead the True Ones, and throw stones away, fill the pits, break the hills and make the road level, so that the Coming Avatar, The WORD comes without any hindrance. Yet another example, on a true, fowls of the air come and build their nests as if the tree is their own, but the FRUIT OF THE TREE comes from inside only; just like in the parable of the mustard seed that Jesus spoke.
All the great religious leaders who started the various priestly orders after their own names, viz, Order of SANKARACHARYA, Order of POPE, Order of RAMAKRISHNA, Order of Traditional Gurus, including order of IMAM, etc., in all religious, always tried to black out the real KALKI AVATAR so that the TRUE AVATAR KALKI cannot be found out. However, THE SHEEP WILL HEAR THE VOICE OF THE SHEPHERD ONLY, BUT NOT THE GOATS.
This is the great call for all the Hindus and the real Semitic Race people from Adam’s time, who follow the Bible, the Vedas, Bhagavad-Gita, QURAN, etc., and who are now imprisoned, as it were, in the various man-made Religious Orders, to come out of their Babylons and unite, forgetting their ungodly, fanatic, petty and meaningless differences, and enter the only Godly Order (of Lord God - Vishnu), which is not bound by any man-made religion or religious order, and which will glorify them and make them be ever with the Lord of Glory (variously called Vishnu, Christ Jesus, Narayana, the Buddha, Allah, etc., etc.). God Bless You.
ESSENCE OF THE VEDAS (BOOK)
SUPREME SACRIFICE OF PARAMA PURUSHA
“VEDAA HI AMRITAAHA” --- Thus saith the Chandogya Upanishad ( 3:5:4 ), one of the important commentaries on Vedas. It means “Vedas are immortal”. Hindus consider Vedas as the ESSENCE OF WORLDS (Ch.Up.2:23:2). It is said in this text, “Prajapati ( Lord of Hosts ) brooded on the worlds. From them, thus brooded upon, issued forth three-fold Vedas as their essence”. According to Vedas, the worlds may pass away but Vedas remain immortal. The meaning of Vedas is :- ‘VID’ - to know, means, to know about ( WISDOM ) GOD. Vedas always insist on ONE GOD ONLY, even though there are many names attributed for that One and the same DIVINE PERSON, GOD ALMIGHTY.
The Vedas depict the GODHEAD - DIVINE PURUSHA in a more deeper spiritual sense of experience than what the Monotheists and Polytheists preach. Prof. Max Muller called Vedas’ view of GODHEAD as “HENOTHEISM” but failed to define the term, nor explained the total significance of the Vedic Theism. Vedas stand on its principle “UNITY IN DIVERSITY”. That is why Vedas say: “EKAM SAT VIPRAAHABAHUDAA VADANTI” ---
“ONE (SAT-) TRUTH EXISTS: THE WISE SPEAK AS MANY”. There is no equivalent word in English: THE WISE SPEAK AS MANY”. There is no equivalent word in English, identical with the Vedic principle of God-head, and hence Max Muller’s HENOTHEISM is still in force in defining Vedic Theism.
The Vedic religion has persistently withstood all the oppositions of the later religions throughout the ages of the Universe. The Vedas are considered to be the most ancient Scriptures available so far, and are considered to be the most ancient Scriptures available so far, and are considered to be contemporary with the very Creator PRAJAPATI BRAHMA, because both BRAHMA and VEDAS are co-created. It is said in Vedas and Puranas (epics) that BRAHMA came forth reciting Vedas. BRAHMA, VEDAS, GAYATRI AND GOAT (LAMB) coexisted at the time of creation. ( In fact the Sanskrit name for BRAHMA and the goat is the same, ‘AJA’ - meaning UNBORN).
The earliest characteristic spiritual expression in Vedas and Vedic civilisation is “UNITY (ONE GOD - SPIRIT) IN MANY NAMES (FORMS) AND MANY IN ONE”. Henotheism is meant to cover this aspect of Vedic Principle. The Henotheism resembles Monotheism as far as the Divinity point of Vedas are concerned, but it is like Polytheism as regards the gods and goddess phonomena. But Henotheism is different from both, because of the Vedic concept of UNITY IN DIVERSITY - that means - The Governing Spirit of Almighty is ONE, through the forms are many. It is added here that the Vedic deities are without forms and are the attributes of one and the same SUPREME BEING or PARAMA PURUSHA. The mode of worship and Vedic hymns are same irrespective of the different deities. That is why the concept of the Vedic Divinity is beyond the Max Muller’s concept of Henotheism, because
All the deities are co-related; and
All deities are identified as to the THE ONE SUPREME PURUSHA ( EKAM in neutral gender ).
This Vedic concept of Theism should not be confused with the ADVAITA. Advaita (of Adi Shankara) tries always to prove the unity of all entities including the nature. According to them everything is because of ONE SPIRIT and that man can attain that state by adhering to strict renouncement of the world, SANYASAM. According to Advaita, to strict renouncement of the world, SANYASAM. According to Advaita, SANYASAM is the only way for MOKSHAM or REDEMPTION. That means almost the whole humanity has to be devoid of the grace of God except these Sanyasis ! This is the reason why the Advaitists scorn at Bhaktiyoga which preaches that any man can win God by completely surrendering to Him and who loves Him with all his heart, strength, mind, soul and body (which is called PRAJAPATI). Advaita is otherwise called as PRASANNA BOUDDHA MATAM (Refined Buddhism) by Sri. Ramanuja, the founder of Vishishta-Advaita. In a way Vishishta-Advaita is the nearest term to describe the Vedic Concept of Divinity. Many Vedic scholars neglect this concept as of recent origin. In fact without naming the term, Veda Vyasa describes the concept of Vishishta-Advaita in his famous post-Vedic literary work, BRAHMA-SUTRA.
Vedic deities do not combine both good and bad characters (powers) like polytheistic gods and goddessess. All Vedic deities are too good and perfect, each representing a highest morality in the sight of the world. No deity is deformed. Thus in forms, (poetic) deities are many, but in SPIRIT they are One. Max Muller called this Vedic Concept as HENOTHEISM. Even though Sri. Ramanuja, followed the worship of idol NARAYANA, yet his concept of VISHISHTA-ADVAITA is nothing but what Vedas preach of God; EKAM SAT. For him, that SAT is NARAYANA, THE SUPREME PURUSHA. But for Adi Shankara, it is the feminine SHAKTI - closely resembling the Assyrian concept of Isha and Ishi. This Shakti concept is later followed and promulgated by the later visionaries like Sri. Aurobindo, who started his spiritual journey from SUPREME PURUSHA NARAYANA but ended in SHAKTI CULT by a worshipping KAALI. Therefore the Revelation of SUPREME SACRIFICE OF SUPREME PURUSHA, which is the essence of the Vedas was blacked out to them, the Advaitists or Monists.
VEDAS ARE VOID OF IDOLATRY
The Vedic deities are (Spirit) visions, but formless. Their forms are described in Vedic poetry just to explain to the world about them. But the subsequent generations made idols of deities. But even then the mode of worship is the same. The Vedic Ritual “YAJNA” is same for all deities. The Vedas express their deities only in poetry and music but not in sculpture or plastic arts. In sculpture, one deity is different from the other. But in Vedas, the male Agni and Surya and the female Usha are considered as EKAM - ONE in the neuter gender. Such unity are identification cannot be conceived in polytheistic visual arts. Some of the image of Vedic poetry can’t be reduced to definite forms, for example, VIRAAT PURUSHA, Suparna bird, Vrishabha (bull) meaning mobility, Varaaha (boar) meaning greatness.
There are four types of Vedic Religious Ritual practices :-
Recitation (VEDA GHOSHAM)
Singing,
The Path of Knowledge, and
YAJNA (SACRIFICE), (Rig Veda. X.71:11).
VEDIC CODE (DHARMA)
The basis of the ancient code of the Vedas is the moral law with the spiritual discipline guiding the life. This concept is called as DHARMA. It is not what one believes or behaves, nor what the intellectuals conceive as their moral characters and spiritual status. DHARMA is something different and unique from all other religious concepts of other religions of the world. The nearest equivalent term in English for DHARMA may be CODE or PRINCIPLE.
The DHARMA are believed to be existing even before Vedas as DHARMAN which means “ETERNAL LAW”; e.g., Vishnu is considered as holding the ETERNAL STATUTES (DHARMANI) - Rig. Veda. I.22:18; Agni is called as “The Head (Chief) of the ETERNAL LAWS: “DHYAKSHAM DHARMAANAM” - Rig. VIII.43:24. Earth is considered to be held by DHARMAN - Atharva Veda.XII.1:17.
“DHAARAYATI ITI DHARMAHA” : It is so called as Dharma, for it upholds itself (e.g. Mahabharatam, Karna Parvam). It is DHARMAN which upholds creation, as said in Karna Parvam of Mahabharatam.
GAUTAMA (BUDDHA) coined the Pali word DHAMMA meaning eternal moral principles but without stressing on one’s faith in God. In his sermon of DHARMA CHAKRA PRAVARTANA at Sarnath (Bihar, India), meaning setting in motion THE WHEEL OF LAW (DHARMA), cessation of suffering and Eight-fold Path conquering all the former three truths. His Eight
fold Path is:
Right View,
Right Aspiration,
Right Speech,
Right Deed,
Right Livelihood,
Right Effort,
Right Mind,
Right Concentration.
So for them there is nothing known as God.
The DHARMA of VEDAS is accepted as the foundation of Vedic religion, being the ideal form of code of conduct. Its contents are totally accepted by all religious orders of India from traditions. The Atharva Veda gives the earliest but comprehensive definition of DHARMAN - A.V.XII.1:1
SATYAM BRHAD RTAM UGRAM DIKSHA TAPO BRAHMA YAJNAH PRITHIVIM DHAARAYANTI.
“(1) Truth, (2) The mighty, strict Eternal Order RTA, (3) Consecration (Diksha), (4) Austerity or Penance or Meditation (Tapas), (5) Vedic Prayer (Brahma) and (6) Sacrifice (Yajna) or Ritual - These uphold the Earth.
These six principle form the Fundamentals of Vedic Religion. The TRUTH is ONE (EKAM SAT); The Eternal Law is HIS WORD OR COMMAND (RTA); (Rta also means Truth). By consecration (DIKSHA) one attains His Path. By true Tapas (Meditation) on Him (Parama Purusha or Supreme Person) one will find out the secret of His Existence. By constant ceaseless prayers only, one can realise the Creator. But above all by realising the SACRIFICE (Supreme Sacrifice) only, one draws blessings from the Supreme Purusha, THE ONE EXISTING AS SAT. The most important principles of DHARMA are RTA and YAJNA, after TRUTH which is placed in first place of importance in Vedas.
SATYAM (TRUTH)
(BHAGAWAN SHRI LAHARI KRISHNA)
The word “SATYAM” is derived from the Sanskrit Root “SAT” means “Exists”; that means, IT CANNOT BE DENIED. SAT + IYAM = SATYAM: This exists. This is the TRUMP OF VEDAS, which fully acknowledges the existence of the Supreme Divine Being which can’t deny Itself. In English it is just said as Truth. What is Truth ? They can’t explain. But Vedas clearly define what is Satyam, even though the subsequent generations lost the importance of This SATYAM, The Supreme Purusha who performed the VIRAT YAJNAM (The Great
Sacrifice) in which He Himself offered to HIMSELF as the SACRIFICE. HE IS SAT ( Purusha Sukta ). This is TRUTH.
The Vedas define SATYAM as the essence of Divinity: A.V.VII.24:1 says SAVITA SATYADHARMA: The Deity has truth as the LAW OF HIS BEING. Rig Veda (I.1:5,29) describes the Deity as SATYAM (Truth). Ultimately in Vedic Religion, SATYAM alone counts, which stands against all untruth. Rig Veda (VIII.62:12) reminds to worship India, the Lord of Heaven who is Satya and not the untrue (ANRTA). Rig Vedas (X.85:1, A.V.XII.1:1) says that the Earth is upheld by Truth. Yajurveda says: “SATYAM JINHVA” - “Truth quickens”. The Upanishat starts its prayer from “SATYAM VADISHYAAMI” I will speak Truth. The National Emblem of Indian Government quotes the Upanishat Hymn: SATYAM EVA JAYATEY - TRUTH ALONE WINS . But we, the Indians are ignorant of this Great Truth, viz: GOD HIMSELF, That Great Supreme Purusha, The Undeniable Person who died as Sacrifice before the Foundation of the world as FIRST SACRIFICE and rose again with the Power of Almighty. This is the Truth. The world may deny Him. But He cannot deny Himself, and hence is called as SATYAM, Satyam (SATYAM) IS IMMORTAL, ETERNAL, BECAUSE HE IS GOD.
RTA (ORDER)
THE ETERNAL LAW
The next essential principle of DHARMA after Truth is RTA, The Eternal Order or The Eternal Order or The Eternal Law. Its meaning is not clear, but its opposite ‘ANRTA’ is used by ancient Vedas to describe disorder or chaos of the universe. RTA is considered as co existent with SATYAM in the beginning of Creation (or even before) out of Perfect Spiritual Order (Rig Veda.X.110:1). According to Vedas, Truth upholds the Earth and RTAM the Heaven. Therefore RTAM is the Heavenly Order. The Vedic Deity SOMA (MOON) is considered as preacher of RTA, being made splendid by RTA.
Rta includes justice, goodness (grace) and is great synonymous with Dharma. It is severely opposed to evil, and hence is stern and fierce (Rig. IX.73:6 says that “The wicked tread not the path of RTA (Eternal Law). BRHASPATI is invoked in Vedas as follows:
(R.II.23:3)
“Having chased the wicked ones and darkness Thou mountest Thy refulgent car of order (Rta)
The awful car, O Brhaspati ! that subdues the foe,
Slays the wicked, cleaves the stall and brings the light”
RTA as RTA: The Term RTA is also applied to Vedic Ritual and it signifies the orderly performance of the complicated ceremonial part of worship. Thus the YAJNA (Rite of Sacrifice) also confirms RTA, The Eternal Order. In remembrance of what happened in Heaven as per Eternal Law RTA, The Yajnas (Sacrifices) are performed on earth so far are the shadow of what really happened as per the Heavenly RTA - Order, before the foundation of the Universe. The Cosmic Order RTA is considered to be ETERNAL and IMMORTAL while the ritual RTA of the world is expected to vary with time and is renewed to suit the human desires for change. That is why all the Vedic Yajna rituals of offering animals and human sacrifices were stopped immediately after the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, to divert the attention of Vedic people from the Real Sacrifice (Jesus) which came to the world to show EXACTLY what happened before the Creation, when PARAMA PURUSHA was slain. That is why the new RTA of Agnihotra, etc., came into importance replacing the Vedic Sacrifices like ASHVAMEDHAM (Sacrifice of horse), Ajamedham (sacrifices), thus fulfilling Vedic saying: NAVYO JAAYATAM RTAM - Let the new ritual grow: - Rig.I.105:15.
RTA as FATE: The concept of Rta is entirely different from the Greek concept of fate. The Cosmic Rta Order should be translated into World Social Order for an ideal world society. Unlike Greek Fate, Rta lies above divinity. But according to Greek philosophers, Fate is the power which even the gods could not withstand, which is arbitrary and which foreordains the course of mortal life beyond one’s capacity to alter it. But RTA is not so; e.g. Markandeya changed his death into eternity; Bhishma could postpone his death at his will; Krishna made Sun and Moon to come together one day earlier before their appointed day of Amavasya, etc. The Vedic Rta remains as Eternal Law and Eternal Justice. In later generations, this concept led to the Theory of Karma, but in ancient Vedic says, it was not so. The doctrine of Rebirth depending on the Theory of Karma appeared in the Vedic religion, only after the influence of Jainism, Buddhism and Greek Philosophy.
The KARMA YOGA of Vedas is entirely different from the present-day concept of Karma Yoga. A man can confidently follow the RTA in full faith to prevail against any disorder. The existence of evil is recognised but Vedas confidently proclaim that we can prevail and win over the evil both within us and surrounding us. Indra’s opposite of RTA, proves the final victory and goodness and Law over evil and disorder. The Vedic view of life is heroic. Life is hard and evil is in the midst of us but victory is ours if only we are brave and follow RTA (Heavenly Eternal Order) with determination and grit (R.X. 53:8).
YAJNA (SACRIFICE or RITUAL)
The Vedic rite of offering libation or oblation (Sacrifice) on the burning altar is called as YAJNA (SACRIFICE) - YAT JUHOTI YAT JAANAATI - This is offered to be burnt; and thus this is known. The offering of Soma juice is the other ritual of divine offerings. The ritual is one and the same for all deities. There are different types of rituals of Yajna, viz,
Agnihorta (The Domestic Sacrifice),
The seasonal mass-scale sacrifices like horse-sacrifice, etc;,
The study of the four Vedas is called as Aparajnana, while the study of Upanishats as Para Jnaanam. Apara means worldly whereas Para means heavenly.
The Vedic Society is conspicuous of tolerance towards the opposition to its formal traditions of rituals, because the Vedic Society encouraged the freedom of thought and expression. Also the later developed famous Bhakti Cult (Path of Devotion) stressing mainly on the Divine Grace, completely overshadowed the ritual part (Sacrifice) of Vedas. The Bhagavad Gita explains this path of Devotion clearly - The Direct Experience of the Divine Purusha cannot be held by (just memorizing) Vedas, nor by Yajnas, nor by penance, nor by religious studies but only by Devotion (LOVE) on PARAMA PURUSHA (compare in this view with I Corinthians. Ch.13 of The New Testament). But even the Vedas have propagated such views. e.g.
“No one by work (karma) attains Him,
Who works and strengthens ever more;
No, not by Yajnas (Na Yajnair) can One attain INDRA (Lord God)
Praised of all, resistless, valiant, bold in might.” -- Rig. VIII. 70:3
The institution of ‘PANCHA YAJNA’ - Five types of rituals of Sacrifices, enhanced the importance of the concept of rituals of sacrifices (Yajna). These are:-
Agnihotra, the domestic rituals,
Brahma Yajna, the study and teaching of Vedas.
Nryajuna, ministering to the guests, the fellow human beings.
BhutaYajna, ministering to all the creations of God, including animals, and Pitr Yajna, offering oblations to manes (departed fathers).
The Hindu Scholars tried to propagate the concept of Spirit of Sacrifice quoting from the Bhagavad Gita. But the Bhagavad Gita is clear enough as crystal in giving importance to SACRIFICE, especially the SUPREME SACRIFICE. Because this Supreme Sacrifice was beyond their human conception, they propagated their own doctrines about “Spirit of Sacrifice” and Path of self-less duties. But actually Karma Yoga means, the Path of Action of Whom? The Action taken by The Cosmic Purusha (AADI PURUSHA) SAT in that great Cosmic Sacrifice as mentioned in Rig Veda, Purusha Sukta (R.V.X). A man will be glorified without death only if he believes and follows the Path of that Karma (Sacrifice of Aadi Purusha). But for that, the world has to wait till the very same PURUSHA enters this world as a normal human being to lead us, His disciples to glory along with Him to Heaven. In Brahma Yajna, The Supreme Reality Brahma is the Sacrificing fire, and He is the WORD as fuel, and He is the Sacrifice and also the Sacrificer. Therefore YAJNA (Supreme Sacrifice) must be accepted as the PIVOT of the Universe
“Naayam loko ‘sty ayajnasya kuto’nyah kuru-sattama”
Bh. Gita.4:31: “To the man who does not offer SACRIFICE, even this world is not happy; how, then, can the other world be happy ?”.
The Vedas also talk about the YAJNA (SUPREME SACRIFICE) figuratively; e.g., Yajurveda says that “Life prospers through Yajna (Supreme Sacrifice)”. Even the ritual of Yajna - The KARMA-KANDA - prospers through YAJNA --- “YAJNO YAJNENA KALPATAAM” - “MAY YAJNA (Ritual) prosper through YAJNA (SUPREME SACRIFICE)” - Yajur Veda. IX.21.
The Hindus always spiritualize the concept of Yajna. The Yajna emphasized the realistic elements of Vedic Religion. Unlike the ascetic muni who is austere and silent, the Rishi (Sages) of Yajna expresses himself through poetic oration with music which is in contrast with the non-spiritual yogi’s hard strivings in material spheres to master the world.
But Karma-Kaanda, the Act of Sacrifice, YAJNA, has its own story to be spoken of. The glorious lustre of blazing fire of altar, the sweet perfume of the sacrificed ghee (fat), the blades of grass (DHARBHAM), the meal offering of cooked material, the crushed Soma (Drink offering) and all the materials of Yajna had their own direct performing the sacrifice Yajna also behave in turn with music, and the mass-action in making the FINAL OFFERING (POORNA-AHUTI) produces an immediate appealing high spiritual sense.
The Vedic Age delighted in forms and ceremonies. People may ask: Is Form necessary for worship ? Does it have any relationship with the Spirit ? The Rig Veda says: “ATMA PITUS TANUR VASA OJODA ABHYANJANAM” - R.VII.3:24. “Food is soul; the apparel is the body; and the ointment is the giver of spiritual vigour”.
Thus the Six Principles of Vedas remain in the same order as in the beginning of the ages. But only the ritual part of Yajna has caused much dissensions. SHABDA BRAHMA, the Vedic Text is still being learnt orally by hundreds of people in our country (India). The Western Orientalists have strenously published the authoritative Vedic Texts. Consecration and Self dedication (Diksha & Tapas) made a direct impact on the minds of Western Oriental researchers. The RTA (Order) of Vedas is still to be realized by the world. (This (RTA) is the hidden mysterious Will of God or The Hidden Plan of God, hidden from the creation, but by which power the creation took place). Finally the SATYA (Truth), the first Vedic Principle is an integrity for every moment of life, as SAT or Reality for those moments of exaltation (KOOTASTHAM). Many leaders of spiritual thought in different ages asserted that GOD IS TRUTH, viz., Jesus, who said: I AM THE TRUTH, and Krishna who said: “I AM RTA”.
The Vedic ages with their intellectual adventures and spiritual power attempted to breakaway the barriers of caste system and to unite men through the ideals of harmony and order of justice and universal fellowship and that is why those sages were called as ‘BHOOTAKRITAH’ - World Fashioners (Atharva Veda - VI.133:4). The essence of Vedas is progressive: “Go forward, Fear not, Fight”, says the Vedic Spirit of Kshatra (R.I.80:3).
The Vedas always conceive its movement as the progress on the path of Truth and Eternal Order (RTA) and self-dedication to a noble ideal of prayer and wisdom and of ritual and sacrifice. Man should grow to the full stature of his being (spiritual) to live in broad, free world in the joy of the Spirit. Thus the Atharva Veda laid down six principles of DHARMA in contemplating such a New World Order:
“Satyam Brihad Rtam Ugram Diksha Tapo,
Brahma Yajnah Prithvim Dhaarayanti” - A.V.XII.1:1
“Truth, the great stern Eternal Order, consecration, austerity prayer and ritual (SACRIFICE); these uphold The Earth”.
BHAKTI YOGA
(PATH OF DEVOTION)
Love and devotion are the simplest modes of the religion, wherein The Divinity is contemplated as The Lord, most affectionately as Father, Mother, Brother, Friend, Husband, Guest, etc. The worshipper prays to the Divine for help (UTI), benediction (Sham), Protection (Sharman), soccour (Avas), Mercy (Mula), Benevolence (Sumati), Love (Vena), etc. God is the Saviour (THRAATA), The Merciful One (Mardita), Protector (Avija), etc. He is the Most Beloved One (Jushta, Preshta). Both He, the Lord as well as His worshippers are called as The Loving One (Vena). Thus the Divinity is common and universal in BHAKTI YOGA. The Vedic Poetry and Prayers are aroused by the Spirit of love and devotion. Poetry and Prayers are aroused by the spirit of love and devotion. In this context, it is very important to point out Bhakti Yoga is the light of the Supreme Sacrifice, the Essence of Vedas.
The Supreme Purusha (Person) in the Vedas is addressed as HIRANYA GARBHA SHAAYEE -- Vishnu; - R.X.121:1 ( also in Y.V. & A.V. )
Transliteration in English (from Sanskrit)
“Hiranyagarbhaha samavartataagre
Bhootasya jaatah pathireka aaseet;
Sa dadhaara Prithiveem dyaam utemo
Kasmai Devaaya havishaa vidhema”
Translation in English
“What God shall we adore with our oblation ?
The Divine Being who existed in the Beginning,
Who was the One Lord of Creation,
Who fixed and upholds this earth and sky”.
Here the Deity is termed as HIRANYAGARBHASHAAYEE. According to Vedas, The Unseen Spirit, LORD before creation took the form of NARAYANA (Vishnu) as the Cosmic Womb, called HIRANYAGARBHA. He is the One who created everything. Before Creation, He Himself is in that Womb. He is called as HIRANYAGARBHA, because, after AADI BALI (FIRST SACRIFICE). He was inside the Cosmic Womb of God and then He rose up in the same form in glory ! ! !

The Lamb Slain Series – Essence of The Vedas (Book)
The Vedas clearly say how the FIRSTBORN NARAYANA (VISHNU) got this Cosmic Power of creation, protection and annihiliation of the whole universe (R.X.121:2). Transliteration in English (from Sanskrit)
“Ya aatmadaa baladaa yasya vishva upaasate prashisham yasya devaah Yasya chaaya amritham yasya mrityuh kasmai devaaya havishaa vidhema”.
Translation in English
“What God shall we adore with ouroblation?
Him who is the bestower of life and vigour,
Whose commandments all cosmic forces obey;
Under whose shadow is DEATHLESSNESS, because of His death”.
This Vedic text clearly enunciates the Power of the FIRSTBORN NARAYANA (VISHNU) (The Self-Existing), The Root of all creation, obtained by His total surrender to The Supreme Command of The Supreme Spirit that possessed Him, to lay down His Life for His people, nay, for the sake of the whole universe. By His death and by His Resurrection, before the foundation of the world, His very shadow brings IMMORTALITY to us, because we are the partakers of that Supreme Sacrifice. Ironically, The Vedas also prophesy that gathering of all the people of the world is under HIM only, who comes as a GUEST (STRANGER) in this world. THIS IS GOD HIMSELF.
Transliteration in English (from Sanskrit)
“Sametaa vishva ojasaa patim divo
Ya eka id bhoor atithir - janaanaam
Sa poorvyo nootanam aajigeeshan
Tam vartaneer anu vaavrta eka ith” -- Rig. VIII. 70:3
Translation in English
“Come together, ye all, with power of spirit, to the Lord of heaven,
Who is only One, the GUEST of the people; He, the Ancient, desires to come to the new; To Him all path-ways turn; Verily HE IS ONE’.
The word SAMETAA is very important; as verb it means to gather or assemble; as noun or adjective, it means that the Lord of Heaven comes as Stranger along with His heavenly host. It also means that the power of the whole universe is gathered or concentrated in Him who comes as a MAN, as a STRANGER in this world, with a desire to make everything new. Please compare this with THE HOLY BIBLE - The Book of revelation. 3:14 to 22. This Vishnu of Vedas is called called otherwise only as ALLAH (KHUDA). Hindus affectionately call Him as “HARI”, the destroyer of all evil. By joining the two names of the Same God, we get “LAHARI”. The New Name of the Lord that has now come down as STRANGER - GUEST in this world. That is why the Hebrews address God only as “L”, the first letter of the New Name of God. The Egyptian Haggar, the second wife of Abraham called Him as LAHAROI. The exact equivalent word for HARI in Hebrew is YESHU (Yehhoa Shuah), which is changed in English as JESUS.
God destroyed our death in AADI BALI and thus He was called as HARI. the same God came down two thousand years ago as YESHU (JESUS) to doubly confirm and to reveal His right to redeem His people who have once again falled in sin in this world through Adam. Now the same God has come down as a MAN, a stranger-guest of this world, but who is the Creator as well as the Appointed Heir of the whole Universe. All the Vedic sages and devotees worship That Same Divine Purusha only. He is called as POOVYA, The Ancient, The FIRSTBORN !

Translation in English
“Be Thou our Saviour; Show Thyself our Own,
Looking after and showing mercy to the worshippers;
Friend, Father, Father of fathers (patriarchs),
Giving to the loving worshippers free space and vital power”.
The Vedas are clear about Godhead, that there is ONE GOD. Refer Rig Veda, X.82:3 (Y.V.17:27, A.V.II.1:3).

Translation in English
“Our Father, our Creator, our Dispenser,
Who knows all positions, all things existing;
Who is the only ONE, bearing different names (of deities) Him other beings seek with questionings”.
He is called as VISHVAKARMAN, The Creator, The Divine Architect of the Universe. Transliteration in English (from Sanskrit)

“Uta vaata pitaasi na uta bhraatota nah sakhaa” --(Sama Veda.1841) Translation in English
“O God!, Thou art our Father, our Brother, our Friend” -- (Also Rig Ved, X.186:2) As Creator, He is our Father. As FIRSTBORN, our Brother, He offered Himself as a SACRIFICE before the Foundation of the World. As Friend, He came down again and reminded us of the Early Sacrifice. Now He has come down as our GUEST, STRANGER.
THE RESURRECTION OF SUPREME SACRIFICE
(AADI BALI):
“Sarvam samsinchya martyam devaah
Purusham aavishan” - A.V.XI.8:13
“When they had rused the MORTAL MAN (PURUSHA) complete, The gods entered into HIM”.
The real meaning is that human FIRSTBORN was offered by the partakers of the AADI BALI (FIRST SACRIFICE) but they saw Him now as the DIVINE GLORIOUS PURUSHA being possessed by the FATHER OF SPIRITS, who has raised Him from death in this glorious Body,and all those who were created and took part in that Great Sacrifice found themselves inside that Glorious Body of DIVINE PURUSHA. THIS IS THE MYSTERY OF VEDAS kept hidden by the very Author or Veda Himself to be revealed only by Him through His Spirit in these last days. Who are the real partakers of that Great First Supreme Sacrifice ? -- Read Rig Veda. X.13:1.
Transliteration in English (from Sanskrit)
“Shrnvanth vishve amrtasya purtaa
Aa ye dhaamaani divyaani tasthuh”
Translation in English
“May all the sons of Immortality ( Amrtasya purtaah ) listen, all the possessors of celestial natures (divine powers) “.
Through this Aadi Bali only we were already created as possessors of Heaven, even before the foundation of the world. Now as God has come down in flesh to rule this world as KING, we have also come down with Him, because We are His inseparable part as we are in Him totally even before the creation of Universe.
JNAANA YOGA
(PATH OF KNOWLEDGE)
In Jnana Yogam, the seeker prays God for DHI (Intelligence), MEDHA (Talent to achieve the intelligence), KRTU (Wisdom), DAKSHA (Ability or efficiency). These are the principles of JYOTI (Light), VARCHAS is the light of Intellect. The Man of Knowledge in Veda is called as VIPRA - Wise, or KAVI --- poet - philosopher, RISHI - sage, etc.
GAYATRI MANTRAM
The Path of Knowledge constitutes the essential part of Vedic Religion. In this path, the seeker, the sage never accepts faith or belief as a substitute for his personal realization of the Highest Truth. He always prays for Knowledge for mental and spiritual power which leads him to the Realization of Highest Truth, SATYAM. This following Hymn (Mantra) called as GAYATRI MANTRAM by the name of the Metre GAYATRI in Vedic Music, is for this bright mental spiritual power (DHI) leading to the ENLIGHTENMENT and therefore this hymn is repeated thrice daily from the Vedic times throughout the Ages.

“Om Bhur Bhuvah svah Tat Savitur Varenyam Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi; Dhiyo yo nah prachodayaat” -- (Rig Veda. III.62:10 ; Samaveda. 1462; Yajurveda. (V.S.)36:3; 22:9; 30:2)
Translation in English
“We contemplate that adorable glory of the LORD “OM” who is in the earth, the sky, and in the heavens ! May He stimulate our mental power”.
(Om means the All-pervading Eternal Spirit, the Ultimate Reality). Compare this Text with John.3:13 of the New Testament. The LORD ADITYA, the other name of Vishnu is called as SON OF MAN by Jesus, because as KALKI, (Son of Man) Vishnu comes to rule this earth bodily as the Heir-Apparent.
This Gayatri Mantram Japam is the prayer for the highest power that a man is capable of possessing - DHI - higher intelligence which brings him material and transcendental knowledge. What the eye is to the body, DHI or intelligence is to the mind. SAVITA means light (jn.1:3: “In Him was the LIFE and the LIFE was the LIGHT of men). This Divinity -
LIGHT - cannot be comprehended by the darkness.

ONE WORD ABOUT BRAHMAN :
Transliteration in English (from Sanskrit)
“Ahameva svayam idam vadaami
Jushtam devebhir uta maanushebhih
Yam Kaamaye tamtam ugram krnomi
Tam brahmaanam tam rshim tam sumedham” -- R.V. X.125:5 Translation in English “I, verily, Myself say this
Which is welcome to the Shining Ones (Devas) and to men
Him whom I love I make mighty
I make him a Brhaman (wise man), a Rishi (seer), a man of talent”
This Vedic Text clears the doubts of Hindu fanatics as well as the critics of Hindus about the caste conflicts. All that glitters is not gold; so also all the people born in the Brahmin caste are not all of them Brahmins, but only those chosen by the Almighty God and who are being inspired by Him and who are filled with His Spirit. All such people, because of their acceptance of God as their Father, cannot die. That is why for their sake, God died as AADI BALI (FIRST SACRIFICE). They are called as AMRITA PUTRAAH - Sons of Immortality. As God cannot die, they also cannot die. No rishi of Vedic times is reported to have passed away. All are considered to be in TAPOLOKA (World of Tapas, as in Vedas), one of the Seven Heavenly Planets. In this context, it is worth mentioning BRAHMAM JAANAATI ITI BRAAHMANAHA -- Braahman is the one who knows BRAHMA, The Creator, The Almighty Spirit. That means everyone who has realised The Creator is a BRAAHMAN. Thus Jesus can also be called as Brahman as also Kalki as Brahmanottama, the most noble Brahmana, because He is the very SACHIDANANDA BRAHMA VIGRAHA, who has come in this mortal world as a human being.

“Purvo jaato brahmano brahmachaari Dharmam vasaanas tapasodatishthat Tasmaadjaatam braahmanam brahma jevshtham
Devaashcha sarve amrtena saakam” -- A.V. XI.5:5
Translation in English
“The BRAHMACHAARI (followers of Brahma, The Creator), born before BRAHMA, robed in libation, stood up through spiritual endeavour (tapas); From HIM arose sacred Wisdom, The Highest Brahman and of all the Shining Ones (Devas) with life that lasts for ever (Eternal Life)”
“The BRAHMACHAARI (followers of Brahma, The Creator), born before BRAHMA, robed in libation, stood up through spiritual endeavour (tapas); From HIM arose sacred Wisdom, The Highest Brahman and of all the Shining Ones (Devas) with life lasts for ever (Eternal Life)”.
Who is the FIRST MYSTERIOUS BRAHMACHAARI ? This mysterious path of
Brahmacharya is completely different from what the present-day Caste Hindus practise. Of course, in this material world, a material worldly Brahmachaari by conteolling senses and by observing celebacy and austerity, may master his self. But this will lead only to Selfrighteousness. But the real Brahmacharya as expounded in the about text seems to be very deeper in the spiritual field to attain immortality.
We know the Brahma is the First of the Creations of God. But here it is said that there is ONE who is born before BRAHMA ! ! ! He is arrayed in sacrificial libation (offered as AADI BALI - FIRST SACRIFICE before the creation of universe), rose up through tapas-spiritual power. The Holy Wisdom of God is revealed by HIM only, through that grerat AADI BALI. By that sacrifice only, He became PARABRAHMA, The Lord Creator of all universe, and of the glorious divine beings (who are the partakers of AADI BALI who are glorified to live with
Him forever).
This clearly denotes that the Path of Supreme Sacrifice is the real Brahmacharya, the Path of Creator. By accepting the Sacricice AADI BALI we become brahmacharis and now by accepting the TRUTH that The Same Person The Firstborn has come down as KALKI, Son of Manas Bridegroom, we have become His Bride, His Household. It does not mean that only now we have become His Bride in His Original Creation, even now in these last days, when He has come down as Man, we too accept Him as our Bridegroom, because we are His Wife, His household. It is said in Vedas that the gods (enlightened beings of heaven) became eternal through the Brahmacharya (A.V.XI.9:17-19).
Transliteration in English (from Sanskrit)
“Brahmacharyena tapasa devaa mrityum apaaghnatah”.
Translation in English
“By the spiritual effort of Brahmacharya, devaas (the Shining Ones) drove away death from them”.
What else can this Brahmacharya be, but the Path of the Creator who offered Himself as AADI BALI, being offered by all the gods (Bride Members and the Household of God in Heaven) before the foundation of the world ! ! ! Through this Sacrifice only they got that glory and power to occupy heavens.

“We call on Thee, The LORD OF HOSTS (GANAPATI),
The Poet of poets, the most famous of all;
The Supreme King of Spiritual Knowledge, O Lord of Spiritual Wisdom (Brahmanaspati)
Listen to us with Your grace, and SIT IN THE PLACE OF SACRIFICE”. Transliteration in English (from Sanskrit)
“Richo Akshare parame vyoman

Translation in English
“The Eternal (The Subject) of the (Vedic) Hymn existing on the supreme region; In which all Shining Ones have their being;
What will He do with the (Vedic) hymn who does not know That ?
But those who have known That - They are perfect “ –
In Vedas, AKSHARA means Indestructible, “Yad Aksharam veda-vido vadanti” - Bhagavad Gita.8:11 - “That which the knowers of Veda speak of al Indestructible”. “Aksharam Brahma Paramam” - Bhagavad Gita.8:3 --- “The Supreme Indestructible is Brahma, The
Supreme Being”. Bhagavad Gita:15:16
“Dvaavimau purushau loke kdsharascha - Akshara eva cha
Ksharah sarva bhootaani kootastho Akshara uchayate”
“The perishable and the imperishable (AKSHARA) - these are the two kinds of PURUSHAS in this world. Of these, the bodies of all beings are spoken of as perishable; while The Embodied Souls (Supreme Purusha) is indestructible”.
The Supreme Abode is “PARME VYOMAN” - “Yo asyaadhyakshah Parame vyoman”- R.X.129:7:----”He who presides over all this in the Supreme Abode”. This is the central pivotal point of Jnana Yoga, The Path of Knowledge, and the main theme of Veda. Veda means to know (Vid - to know). It is the knowledge of God that is needed, not just the word of Veda (Rk). Hence just memorizing Vedas without knowing the meaning or without having the proper revelationof Vedas is futile attempt in spiritual guest for knowing That Supreme Being AKSHARA. But Vedas, Karmakanda demands the efficiency of the Vedic Mantras only, whereas Bhagavad Gita rightly critizes such Karmakanda followers.
The Ultimate Reality AKSHARA is recognized as the Subject of Vedas (Rks) throughout the ages in India (Bh.Gita.8:11).
“Vadais cha sarvair aham eva vedyo” - Bh.Gita.15:15.
“I am the Only Object worth knowing through the Vedas (Scriptures)”.
Only the Vedas (Scriptures) reveal God as Indestructible. If God is without any form and is to be The Only Supreme Spirit, the stress on the word INDESTRUCTIBLE is not necessary. A strong man does not require a protection. He can take care of himself. Only a weak man will get credit of honour when he overcomes all the strong oppositions, inspite of the fact that he is weak. Smilarly, the position of The Unseen Spirit is unapproachable to anybody, be it for light or any other matter. But the greatness of God lies in this fact, that even though being in the Form of That man, AADI PURUSHA, FIRSTBORN, yet He is indestructible. This can be the nearest explanation that can be given to the Central Theme of Vedas.

“AKSHARE PARAME VYOMAN” -- (R.V.I.164:39) Translation in English “The Indestructible exists in Supreme Abode”.
The FIRSTBORN, AADI PURUSHA, NARAYANA, exists in the Supreme Region beyond Universe in human form, but yet is indestructible.
This realisation of God as Eternal, Indestructible and yet in human form, is very peculiar and is only found in Vedic Scriptures. That is why it is said that:
Transliteration in English (from Sanskrit)
“Vaasudevo idam agra asin na Brahma na cha Shankara;
Eko Naarayanaasin na Brahma na Ishaana”. Translation in English
“Only Vaasudeva exists, neither Brahma nor Shankara;
Narayana alone exists as Chief; neither Brahma nor Ishaana”.
Even Aadi Shankara Bhagavatpada confirms in his Commentary on Gita that NARAYANA is transcendental to all creations. The same Narayana (Christ Jesus) expresses Himself as Rama, Krishna, Jesus and now as Son of Man, KALKI. All the previous incarnations of God are subject to the natural death, whereas this Kalki is the very Narayana in His Own Body. The same Narayana (Christ Jesus) comes as a human being in the Royal Line in His own indestructible form fulfilling all the prophecies in the Scriptures of the world. God is for all. The same Narayana is called as Yehovah (YHVH) by the Hebrews, Allah by the Muslims, Christ Jesus by the Christians and as Krishna by the Hindus. He is the One and the Same Person, God. The Desire of all nations that has come down in His own human body. This is the secret wisdom hidden in all the Scriptures but revealed in these last days by the very Lord God who has come down.
RAJA YOGA
(THE PATH OF MYSTICISM)
The Vedic Scholars consider the Path of Mysticism (Raja Yoga) as a stage of Jnana Yoga, the path of knowledge. In this path of Raja Yoga, one experience the Divine Personality (PURUSHA) and therefore Raja Yoga is the Path of personal spiritual realization SATYAM, The Truth is called as That which is obtained (AAPTA) by the Vedic process as given below. Transliteration in English (from Sanskrit)
“Vratena dikshaam aapnoti
Dikshaayam aapnoti dakshinaam
Dakshinaam shraddhaam apnoti
Shraddhaya SATYAM aapyate” - Y.V.(V.S.). 19:30
Translation in English
“By self-dedication, one obtains consecration; by consecration one obtains grace (dakshina);
By grace, one obtains reverence, and by reverence TRUTH is obtained”.
Thus Brahmacharya, the simple control of sex energy is not sufficient to obtain the SATYAM, the knowledge of The Ultimate Reality of Divine Purusha; but only through steady spiritual growth till the stage to meet TRUTH face to face in glory. THIS IS RAJA YOGA. Many people boast themselves to have attained this Stage. If so, they ought to have accepted the Truth that The Lord God Almighty has now come down as human person is His own form SAUMYA ROOPAM). Because He is the King of the future DHARMA YUGA, naturally, when He is just a Prince only, these so-called Raja yogisought to have seen Him face to face either in person or in spirit. But unfortunately most of them do not give a correct identification of Kalki (only Veda Vyasa has clearly written in his Puranas about Kalki). But God as revealed Himself to us in these last days through AADI BALI (FIRST SACRIFICE). For us His Path of Supreme Sacrifice Narayana (also known as Christ Jesus or Allah). This section here deals with the Vedic verses revealed by God in connection with Raja Yoga in the light of the AADI BALI (FIRST SACRIFICE).
The above Vedic text quoted in the beginning of this section, says that a person by his self determination earnestly dedicates himself to this higher spiritual path of realisation of Supreme Eternal Monarch of Universe, SATYAM THE TRUTH. By his dedication(Vratam) he enteres into a spiritual ordainment (Diksha). This Diksha does not mean Sanyasa or Renouncement as the Sanyasis for Renouncists propogate. Diksha or ordainment is a commitment by a seeker (Sadhaka) through dedication in spiritual discipline concerned. Thus he obtains spiritual grace and refinement or purification. The spiritual grace and purification will lead him to the stage of reverence or Spiritual zealousness (shraddha). Through this spiritual zealousness or Zeal only, the Supreme Realization of TRUTH is obtained or experienced by any person. This is the Authoritative Vedic Process of Spiritual Realization of GODHEAD, Who is ONE ONLY, THE TRUTH (SATYAM), THE LIFE (SHIVAM), THE EVER BLISS BEAUTIFUL (ANANDAM), THE SUPREME PURUSHA. The Advaitists realize God as Impersonal Truth - Reality. The Dvaitis realize The Same TRUTH both as Impersonal Brahman as well as The Ever Beautiful LORD in definite conceivable Form, always ready to be worshipped or served by His disciples. According to them, The Lord is in a completely different plane from the human beings even though He too appears in His Transcendental Human Form.
The Vedic sage speaks thus of the direct experience of the Supreme Purusha in his personal realization.

“Vedaahametam purusham mahaantam
Adityavarnam tamasah parastaat
Tam eva viditvaati mrityumeti
NA ANYAH PANTHAAYA VIDYATE AYANAAYA”. - Y.V.(V.S.) 31:18 Translation in English “I have known This Mighty Being (PURUSHA)
Refulgent as Sun (ADITYA) beyond darkness
By knowing Him alone one transcends death, THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO GO”.Thus this vedic sage categorically declares that a real Raja Yogi is the Overcomer of death. But to our dismay, no rajayogi of 20th Century has so far declared that he has overcome death. They conveniently resort to the shelter of Bhagavat Gita: “Jaatasya dhruvo mrityuh dhruvam janma mrutasya cha” (“Death is certain for the born, and even the dead shall be born again” - (When?) - Bh.Gita.2:27), but they shrug at the Vedic Truth that YOU
CAN OVERCOME DEATH ONLY THROUGH THE SUPREME PURUSHA NARAYANA. The same NARAYANA came as JESUS and that is why death could not swallow Him. NARAYANA IS CHRIST JESUS. All the human avatars (incarnations) died or passed away after their functions. But Narayana is eternal, immortal. In Kali Yuga He is known as CHRIST JESUS, even according to Veda Vyasa in his Bhavishya Purana. Fulfilling the prophecy of Veda Vyasa and all the prophets of God raised in the whole universe, The Lord has come down on the 21st July 1969 (MOON-LANDING DAY) into His chosen Vessel in the Royal Line of AVIRAM (ABRAHAM). The ancient king of Bharata-varsha in Kali Yuga. He is both King and Priest in that tradition.
A real religion, if any, ought to have this spiritual realization of overcoming physical death, by the complete faith in the ONE who is deathless, immortal, eternal LORD OF GLORY. We, as normal human beings, always prone to sin, can never achieve that state of deathlessness through any of our herculean efforts of meditation, or penance. But by trusting THAT ONE IMMORTAL DIVINE PARAMAPURUSHA, in full faith, by absolute surrender to Him, we all will overcome, death. This is the mystery of this Supreme Sacrifice of the PARAMA PURUSHA, by believing which we overcome death. That is why Rig Veda I.164:46 PEOPLE CALL HIM AS MANY”. - vide Rig. Veda X.114:5: “EKAM SAD VIPRAAH BAHUDHA VADANTI” -- “ONE EXISTS, BUT THE PEOPLE CALL HIM AS MANY”. - vide Rig.Veda.X.114.5: “EKAM SANTAH BAHUDHA KALPAYANTI”, which means, “Though He is one, He is imagined by people as many”.

Death then existed not, nor life immortal,
Neither of night or day was there any sign; THE ONE BREATHED, airless, by self-impulse Apart from IT was nothing whatsoever”.
This Vedic hymn clearly tells the existence of ONE DIVINE BEING breathing well before the creation of the Universe. For the purpose of creation, TAT, that Supreme Spirit becomes PRAJAPATI (Lord of Creations), THE FIRSTBORN.

And He is the LORD OF IMMORTALITY which transcends through ANNAM (SACRIFICE)”
Here Annam means the Sacrifice of His Own Self by which He transcends through ANNAM (SACRIFICE)”.
Here Annam means the Sacrifice of His Own Self by which He transcends up in glory.
Thus The Supreme Purusha, creates this material universe to express Himself and His glory is manifested through His creation. Therefore He is called BHAGAVAN, Lord of glory. The world may call many as bhagavans, but there is only one BHAGAVAN, THE FIRSTBORN, SUPREME PURUSHA, NARAYANA who is also called as Christ Jesus, Allah, etc., who is the Lord of Immortality. But all the other imposter bhagavans have to face death and condemnation in the hands of That Parama Purusha, who is A MAN as explained in Vedic Hymn.

VIBHUTI YOGA
(THE PATH OF SPLENDOUR)
Vibuti Yoga (Path of Splendour) implies the presence of Divine Being in all splendour elements. Vibhuti Yoga is the Path of Poetic sages (Kavis) whereas Raja Yoga is for the recluse seers and munis and Yogis. Light (JYOTI) is the source of all splendour. Light is the symbol for the Glory of the Spirit and it stands for Truth (Satyam), Order (Rta), Goodness or welfare (Svasti), glory or wealth (Shri), Beauty (Charuta), Intelligence (Dhi), Wisdom (Krta), Bliss (Bhadram), Immortality or Deathlessness (Amritam), for God (Devam), and for noble man (ARYA); but DASYUS (Tamas) stands for all the opposite of Light (Jyoti), for untruth (Asatya), disorder for chaos (Anrita), unreality (Asad), evil (Ashiv or Durita), ugly (ashri), ignorance (avidya), death (mrityu), for demon (Vritra) and for all the wicked man (dasyus or dasas). Fire (Agni), Sun (Surya), Moon (Soma), The Dawn (Usha), etc., are associated with the Light (Jyoti).

“Hamsah shuchishad vasurantarikshadad dhotaa vedishad aththir duronasad nrishad varasad rtasad rtasad vyomasad

“ He is the Swan seated in the midst of the light;
The Lord of Wealth seated in the mid-region;
The Priest seated by the altar, the Guest seated at the house
The Dweller among men; the Dweller in the noblest place;
The Dweller in Eternal Law; the Dweller in the infinite sky;
Born of water, born of Light, born of Eternal Law,
Born of water, born of Light, born of Eternal Law,
Born of mountain, HE IS THE ETERNAL LAW (RTAM)”.
Vibuti Yoga is famous among Vedic Scholars in its peculiarity in combining both physical and material aspects with the spiritual aspect of Divinity. It describes the material form of the Divine aspect of Divinity. It describes the material form of the Divine Being (Purusha) on one hand but also leads to the highest spiritual abstract state of Divinity. Though this hymn refers to Sun(Aditya) in material plane, but in spiritual sense, this refers to the Supreme Purusha and His presence being Omnipresent is clearly described here. Here in this hymn, Sun and Swan are not just material beings, but they symbolise the Supreme Purusha who is the Source of Light (Jyotiswarupi Hari) and as the heavenly being (Swan). This Supreme Purusha is considered to be ageless, ever youth.

“Na yam jaranti sharado na maasaa
Na dyaava Hendram avakarshayanti
Vriddhasya chid vardhataam asya tanooh
Stomebhir ukthaishcha shasyamaanaa” --- Rig Veda. VI. 24:7
Translation in English
“Years do not age Him; nor months nor days wear out Indra; May His self grow, though ever so mighty glorified by songs of praise and hymns of prayers”.
It is well known among vedic scholars that none of the Vedic deities have the capacity to be born as eternal human beings. Only one Person is both man as well as God and He is NARAYANA. Because He controls the reins of the universe, He is called as INDRA. Also in Bhagavatam, it is said that there is a finite age for all celestial beings after which they will merge in Pralayam into Paramapurusha. But in this vedic hymn, the person, the Deity Indra is said to have a human body (Tanu). Because the vedic sage sees the Supreme Purusha in His own Human Body, which even though appears to be like a perishable many form, yet because of its capacity to hold the Fullness of Spirit of Almighty God, The Lord of Light, as becoming youth with age. That means, as a prophet, the vedic sage has seen this human body of Lord Narayana which comes in the last days of Kali Yuga as Kalki Avatar, The Parama Purusha but yet who was The FIRST BORN. Really the Vedas contain the Mystery of Godhead which only Narayana can reveal, which He is doing now to His own people whom He created with Him and in Him before the creation of Universe.

“Manye tvaa Yajniyam Yajniyaanaam
Manye tvaa chyavanam Achyutaanaam
Manye tvaa satvaanaam Indra Ketum
Manye tvaa vrishabham charshaneenaam” --- Rig Veda. VIII. 96:4 Translation in English “I deem Thee as Holiest of Holy (YAJNAM)
I deem Thee as Shaker of unshaken
I deem Thee, O God! as the Banner of heroes
I deem Thee as th Chief of the People (King)”. But the actual meaning of YAJNIYAM means the power attained through Yajna (Sacrifice). This Vedic hymn tells clearly the secret of power of The Supreme Purusha, who eventhough a NARA (MAN), yet, is the Most Holy Person, because by virtue of His capacity to take a human form without any human connection, He is Holy. More than this, when He offered Himself in His own Body for our sake before the creation of universe, He made all His people in Him as holy, even though they have to take up the mortal bodies.
God is considered as the King of Universe (R.V.VIII.43:24, III.46:2) as the Almighty Person (R.V.VIII.45:6), as the Most Terrible (R.V.VIII.45:35), as the Forgiver of Sin (R.V.VIII.45:34), which are characteristics of Semitic Beliefs. The Supreme Purusha is also described as COMFORTER (R.V.IV.20:9).

“Agnim Ile Purohitam
Yajnasya Devam Ritvijam
Hotaram ratnadhaatakam” --- R.V.I.1:1
Translation in English
“I pray to AGNI, the PRIEST, GOD OF SACRIFICE, MINISTER OF the Service, The Offerer of Oblation, the best Giver of treasure”.
Here, The Supreme Purusha is described as AGNI - FIRE, This clears the doubt among the people about His capacity both as Sacrifice as well as Sacrificer and the Accepter of Sacrifice. As God, He accepted the Supreme Sacrifice; As the Sacrifice Being, He offered Himself in that Sacrifice; As Offerer and Minister of Sacrifice, He and His people took part in that Sacrifice ceremony. As High Priest, He performed that Sacrifice. Lastly He is the One who rose in that same body but now filled or possessed by the Fullness of the Spirit of Almighty God as the Bestower of His Peculiar Treasure, IMMORTALITY to His followers.
The Supreme Lord is described as given below in Veas, typical of Vibhuti-Yoga. Transliteration in English (from Sanskrit)
“Tvam samudro asi Vishvavit kavey
Tavemaa pancha pradisho vidharmani
Tvam dyaan cha prithiveem chaati jabrishe
Tava jyotishi pavamaana Suryah” --- R.V.IX.86:29
Translation in English
“Thou art the Vast Se a; Thou, O Seer, ! who discoverest all things Under Thy Law are the Five regions of the world.
Thou transcendest heaven and earth. O, Self-purifying One! Thine are the Lights and Time and The Sun”.
To discover the things, One has to first forget or forego the same. Similarly the Supreme Purusha when He comes down to earth as a normal human being, has to forget His Supreme Prowess as Creator, Protector and the Consummator of The Universe, and He has to get the Revelation of Himself and about His unlimited Almighty Power, as HE IS THE VERY GOD HIMSELF, right from the times immemorial.
This Vedic hymn clearly prophesies the Advent of Narayana as Kalki as the Eternal King of the World, as a MAN.

“All that exists these two (sky & earth) keep asunder; though bearing the mighty Devas, they suffer not. ONE LORD IS ALL of what moves and what is fixed, of what walks, what files, -- this multiform creation”.
Thus The Vedas clearly reveal the Divine Purusha both in material plane as well as in Spiritual Plane. THERE IS ONE ALONE, NO SECOND.

“Aaneed avaatam sv adhayaa TAD EKAM
Tasmaaddhaanyan na parah kim chanaasa” --- R.V.X.129:2 Translation in English “The One breathed airless by self-impulse; Apart from IT was nothing whatsoever “.
It can also be translated as: “IT ALONE (TAD EKAM) breathed airless by self-impulse; Apart from TAT was nothing whatsoever”.
IT (TAT), THE DIVINE PURUSHA, the Vedic conception of Ultimate Reality but this state was before the Same expressed ITSELF as FIRSTBORN PURUSHA, NARAYANA (CHRIST JESUS).
The Essence of Vibhuti Yoga is to realize the Divine Being, The Supreme Purusha as Glorious Being both as Human as well as Heavenly Being.
KARMA YOGA
(PATH OF ACTION)
( IN THE LIGHT OF SUPREME SACRIFICE )
KARMA YOGA is equally important as JNANA YOGA in the Vedic religion. Even though the later literary works tend to consider KARMA - Action as non-essential or even evil, yet Vedas accept KARMA (Action) as an accepted fact. The Karma Yoga primarily leads one for the acceptance of our physical existance. This necessitates the building up of our body, the sharpening of the mind leading to the full span of healthy and vigorous life with full joy and satisfaction. Secondly Karma Yoga accedes to the battle of life and fight for survival though not literally. In the Vedic sense, survival means not the just mechanical living like a beast, but includes the moral and spiritual aspects of life. Therefore the battle of life is the battle between good and evil, demanding man’s all mighty and valiant efforts and occupy for its use. Thus Karma Yoga is basically a Kshatriya’s (King’s) view of life with beroic outlook.
But in the light of the Revelation of Supreme Sacrifice by Parama Purusha the concept of Karma Yoga becomes drastically different from what it is so far in the eyes of the Vedic ritualists.

“Devebhyah kam aavrineeta mrityum
Prajaayat kam amritam naarineeta
Brihaspatim yajnam akrinyata rishim
Priyaam Yamas tanvam praarirecheet” - R.V.X. 13:4
Translation in English
“He chose death, for the same of gods (celestial beings)
And for men’s sake, He chose not immortality;
They made a SACRIFICE OF BRIHASPATI, THE SEER, YAMA GAVE UP HIS OWN BODY”.
This above Vedic hymn describes the Sacrifice of Parama Purusha who is also called as BRIHASPATI - The Mighty King, THE SEER. He also is called as YAMA because of His patience in suffering for the sake of the whole universe. That is why Bhagavad Gita says: “YAMAS SAMYAMATAAM AHAM” --- ‘I am Yama in patience”. Also because He is the First to die (and also to rise to life), He is also called as YAMA, The Lord of death, One who defeated death. “THEY SACRIFICED BRIHASPATI” means that there must be a group of beings (people) who were created before the foundation of the universe, who offered their very Creator as offering for their deathlessness because by being created as human beings, they ought to die and as they could not inhabit heaven as human beings. Therefore for their sake, their very Creator offered Himself as the Sacrifice. That is why This great SEER (PARAMA PURUSHA) is also called as THE GREAT PATH FINDER (PATHIKRITA -- R.V.X.14:15). It was He who showed us the Path of Deathlessness even before the creation of this universe. Now in these last days The same BRIHASPATI-SEER, The Paramapurusha, Narayana has come down in His own Human form to show us the Path of glorification (AMRITATVAM) without death. For Hindus, He is the same Krishna, The Creator; for true Christians, He is the same Christ Jesus; for Muslims, He is IMAM MEHDI; for Buddhists, He is MAITREYI AMITABHA. GOD IS ONE BUT PEOPLE CALL HIM BY MANY NAMES. It is not the mistake of God that He is ONE alone, but it is the mistaken thinking of the people that God is many.
That is why R.V.X.90:6 says that the Supreme Purusha, sacrificed Himself to create the Universe.
Thus the very Creator became sacrifice for our sake, only because we were created as human beings ordained to live for ever with Him in Heaven. He atoned for our sins, for our sickness, for our weaknesses and FOR OUR DEATH.
Transliteration in English (from Sanskrit)
“Deakritasyainaso avayajanam asi
Manushyakritasainaso avayajanam asi
Pitrikritasyainaso avayajanam asyaatmaKritasyainaso avayajnam asyainaso ayenaso avayajnam asi;
Yacchaaham aeno vidvaanschakaara yacchaa
vidvaanstasya sarvasyainaso avayajnam asi” - Y.V. (V.S.). 8:13 Translation in English “Thou art atonement of sin against God,
Thou art atonement of sin against men,
Thou art atonement of sin against fathers,
Thou art atonement of sin against myself, Thou art atonement of every sort of sin. Of all the sin that I have committed knowingly and that I have committed unknowingly, Thou art the atonement”.
This is the main reason why the Vedic seers are considered to be free from all sin because of their unquenching faith in the Supreme Sacrifice. That is why they are also called asSIDDHAS or the Victorious people. They are supposed to be immortal beings.
But the Karmis or the ritualists of Vedic religion just hid this Supreme Sacrifice from the mankind and only the ritual part of the sacrifice without any importance is still followed. They offer SAMIDHS, the wood of Ashwattha tree as offering. But people do not know the inner meaning of this. The Bhagavad Gita says that: “ASHVATTHAH SARVA VRIKSHAANAAM” - “Among trees, I am the ASHVATTA TREE” -- Bh. Gita. 15:1-4). That Parama Purusha is typed as ASHVATTHA TREE. Ashvattha means that which cannot wait till Dawn, indicating that power of His coming back to life in the same body before the Creation of universe. Dawn means the beginning of Day.
CONCLUSION
This humble attempt is made by the Divine Grace of The Lord God Almighty, who has come down in these last days to take us all in glory without death. This is only to cite the importance of the Supreme Sacrifice of The Parama Purusha being performed in reality in toto by the Very Parama Purusha (Christ Jesus) even before the Creation of Universe. This is not a fiction. Vedas prove this Supreme Sacrifice. Bhagavad Gita says this path only as Karma Yoga. The Bible says that THE LAMP SLAIN FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD (Rev.13:8b). The Nabi Mohammed introduced BAKRID in the memory of this Great Supreme Sacrifice. God Almighty, That Paramapurusha, who is also called as Narayana, Allah, Christ Jesus, etc., is ONE AND THE SAME LORD for the whole universe, for, He is the CREATOR-KING of this whole universe. Only we fight among ourselves without knowing the Supreme Sacrifice He did out of His love for the same of entire universe. The same God has revealed this Mystery hidden from the creation in these last days. He only gave Gita and The Bible and the Quoran and it is only He who gave His Revelation through Krishna, Jesus, Mohammed, etc. Lord Jesus came to fulfil and to give us an understanding about this Supreme Sacrifice. Sri. Krishna came to reveal This Supreme Sacrifice through His Gita.
Prophet Mohammad came to fight against all paganisms and to uphold the important of the Supreme Sacrifice of the Great Judge of the Universe, THE LORD and in His rememberance only, he instituted the BAKRID. Now the same God has come down in flesh to inherit what He has created, to usher in His Millenial Rule. Now He is in His own Human Gentile Form.
He is the Man Christ Jesus for the Christians, Imam Mahdi for our Mislum brothern, KALKI KRISHNA for our fellow Hindu brethren. He is the very Lord God who has created heaven, earth and the sea and everything that therein is. He is The Royal Son of David, The Messiah for the Torah Hebrews.
A word about Saffron Robe and the Holy Thread worn by the Hindus, and their significance is to be aptly given. The saffron colour denotes not the sanyasam or Renunciation but THE BLOOD SHED BY THE PARAMA PURUSHA NARAYANA (CHRIST JESUS) in the SUPREME SACRIFICE. The Holy Thread worn across the body sifnifies that we are the partakers of that Supreme Sacrifice through which we have become eternal beings. The circular thread depicts eternity and hence is worn around the body. But, alas! the present
day tendency is just to wear saffron robe and holy thread without having faith on or without knowing The Supreme Sacrifice. Even the sanyasins are supposed to be initiated only through the hymns of the Purusha Sukta which tell only about The Supreme Sacrifice. They are supposed to recite the Suktam for 108 times for purification. Our Royal Heavenly Kingdom Flag is in Saffron colour and has Vishnu Chakram encircled by Rain-bow signifying that the kingdom of Heaven is established on earth. We wear Saffron in our heart and in our mind and are victorious over the world. But others wear saffron only outwardly without knowing their true significanceWILL IT NOT SUFFICE TO SAY THAT HE IS THE DESIRE OF ALL NATIONS IN WHOSE EXPECTATION THE WHOLE UNIVERSE IS GROANING WITH BIRTH PAIN ?!!! OH! MY BELOVED FELLOW-PRISONERS OF LOVE OF GOD, WHEN WILL YOU COME BACK TO YOUR ORIGINAL ABODE, TO YOUR FIRST FATHER, THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY WHO IS NOW ON EARTH TO REDEEM THEE !!!

COSMIC YAJNA (PURUSHA SUKTA)
The Supreme Being is thousand-headed,
Thousand-eyed, thousand-footed;
He pervades the Universe on all sides,
And extends beyond the ten directions. (Rig.10.90.1)
He, indeed, is all this,
What has been and what will be,
What is the Lord of Immortality
Transcending through material existence. (Rig.10.90.2)
Such is the magnificance, but,
The Supreme Being is greater than this;
All beings are a quarter of Him,,
Three-quarters make up immortality in the Supreme Region. (Rig.10.90.3) Three-quarters of the Supreme Being remain abstract,
One quarter part manifests again and again,
And, diversified in form, it moves
To the animate and the inanimate world. (Rig.10.90.4)
Through the divine energy of the Supreme Being
This dynamic universe (Virat) came into existence
In the course of the evolution of the universe,
The earth and other habitable planets came into being
And souls manifested themselves in the form
Of living beings and thus life came into existence. (Rig.10.90.5)
With the coming into being of the dynamic universe,
The adaptation of the primordial matter was made In the primeval activities. Thus began the changes in the atomic composition of matter.
In this colossal cosmic sacrifice, substances to
Sustain life were produced;
As well as vegetation, grains, fruit, flowers and
Therapeutic substances that increase both energy
And the life-span. (Rig.10.90.6)
This made it possible for animal life to thrive
In the course of the creation of the universe,
The Rig Veda, the Sama Veda, the Yajur Veda and
The Atharva Veda were revealed. (Rig.10.90.7)
Three kinds of animals came into being in the Creation of the universe. Belonging to the category of domestic animals were Four types of animals: horse, donkeys, etc. which possessed two sets of teeth, upper and lowercows, 3. goats, 4. sheet, These three possess only the lower set of teeth.(Rig.10.90.8)
Because of his superior intellect, man is recognized
As the most advanced of all living beings
That came into existence at the creation of the universe.
Among them were also those who displayed divine qualities
Ascetics, hermits and sages
Well-versed in the knowledge of the Vedas
Who contemplated intensely on how to integrate
And organize society. (Rig.10.90.9)
The entire human race was visualized in the form of one Human being. Some of the questions were :
Into how many parts was this man-conception society divided ?
What was his mouth ? and what were his arms ?
What represented his thighs and what were his feet ? (Rig.10.90.10)
In this conception of human society as a man, the highly
Intellectual Brahmanas (priestly class) were regarded as the mouth, While the Kshatriyas, who were the administrators and warriors, represented the arms. The Vaishyas who were artisans, traders and agriculturists corresponded to the abdorminal region and the thighs,
While the Shudras of the society were associated with the feet of this man-conception society. (Rig.10.90.11)
The moon denotes the mind of the Supreme Being, While the sun His eyes. The wind and breath issue from His ears, While fire is produced from His mouth. Similarly the moon is associated with the mind of the human being.
And the sun symbolises his eyes. (Rig.10.90.12)
This universe is conceived in the form of the intangible Supreme Being.
In the idealized schematic physical map of the Unverse, the central region, identical with the abdominal region, corresponds to the middle space, Antariksha. The uppermost region, synonymous with the head, is depicted as the luminous outer space. Its lowest region correlating with the feet is identified as the earth ( Bhumi ).
The entire planetary system of the universe gradually evolved according to this scheme. (Rig.10.90.13)
The Supreme Being proceeded ahead with the symbolic Yajna (task) of the creation of the universe, A colossal, cosmic yajna in which solid substances displaying natural specific properties were offered as oblation, Ahuti ( SACRIFICE ) In this cosmic yajna clarified butter or ghee
symbolised spring, wood chips summer, and corn autumn. (Rig.10.90.14) In this cosmic yajna innumerable species of animal life came into existence
Of which the human race is most advanced. Among mankind there were also seers and sages, hermits and ascetics, and intellectuals and scholars who set about the task of organising society by disciplining man, the animal.
In this imaginary symbolic yajna or sacrifice, there were seven enclosures or disciplines and twentyone sticks, samidha, were utilised. (Rig.10.90.15)
In the course of this symbolic cosmic yajna of the Supreme Being, the scholars and sages undertook the yajna (function) of organising society.
With this object they gave significance and priority to the formulation and fundamental laws and
of behaviour that promoted society stability and cohesiveness. (Rig.10.90.16) The Creator is perfect
He possesses perfect power.
Whence is created perfect Nature ?,
The perfect universe derives life From the perfect Creator.
Let us comprehend this perfect power
That bestows life on all beings., (Atharva.10.8.29)

SACRIFICE
(EXTRACTS FROM THE BOOK, “THE WONDER THAT WAS INDIA” BY ALBASHAM - PAGES 241 - 255)
SACRIFICE : The centre of the Aryan cult was sacrifice. The cult of the domestic hearth existed in many ancient Indo-European communities, and small domestic sacrifices, performed by the head of the house, must have been as important in the days of Rig Veda as they were in later Hinduism, but the earliest texts describing them are the Grihya Sutras of a much more recent period. The Rig Veda is rather concerned with great sacrifices, paid for by chiefs and wealthier tribesmen. They were already complex rites involving much preparation, the slaughter of numerous animals, and the participation of several well-trained priests.
The main purpose of the sacrifice was the gratification of the gods in order to obtain boons from them. The gods descended to the sacred straw (barhis) on the sacrificial field, drank, and ate with the worshippers, and duly rewarded them with success in war, progeny, increase of cattle and long life, on a quid pro quo basis. The solemn Varuna pantheon. Most of the gods were good natured. Guilt-offerings and thank-offerings, of the kind offered by the ancient Hebrews, are almost unheard of in the Vedas.
Nevertheless the ceremony must have had its element of awe and wonder. The worshippers, inebriated with soma, saw wondrous visions of the gods; they experienced strange sensations of power; they could reach up and touch the heavens; they became immortal; they were gods themselves. The priests, who alone knew the rituals and formulas whereby the gods were brought to the sacrifice, were masters of a great mystery. With these ideas, which are explicitly stated in the hymns, went others less obvious. Often in the Rig Veda we read of a mysterious entity called Brahman; in many contexts Brahman is the magical power in the sacred utterance (mantra), but sometimes it has a wider connotation, and implies a sort of supernatural electricity, known to students of primitive religion as mana. The possessor of Brahman, by a common process of secondary word formation in Sanskrit, became known as brahmana, (in this book usually written in its modern form brahman to avoid confusion with the sacred texts of the same name), the tribal priest and magician. In later Vedic times the connection of brahman with speech becamemore and more pronounced, and the brahman’s magic was thought to lie in the words he uttered. The words and syllables of the Veda were analysed, and, though the texts were still unwritten, the letters of the alphabet were recognised and personified as eternal divinities. The metres used in the Veda were also thought of as gods. Later certain syllables were believed to be particularly holy, notably OM (the Pranava), which contains the essence of the Vedas and is pregnant with the utmost power and mystery.
A second conception, which is hinted at in many hymns of the Rig Veda, and becomes prominent in the latest stratum, is also widely known in primitive religions -- the mystical identification of god, victim and sacrificer. From these ideas the sacrifice obtained an even greater importance in the scheme of things than it had had at the time of the composition of the earlier parts of the Rig Veda. By the end of the period it was widely believed that universe itself arose from a PRIMEVAL SACRIFICE.
Through Varuna may sometimes have been looked on as a sort of creator, and there are suggestion of Indra having fulfilled the same function, there is no clearly defined creator god period, however, such a god had developed, whether wholly from the speculations of the brahmana or from non-Aryan influences. This god was Prajapati, “The Lord of Beings”, often identified with Brahma, the masculine from of the neuter brahman. Prajapati was thought of as a Primeval Man (Purusha) who existed before the foundation of the universe. The man * was sacrificed, presumably to himself, by the gods, who aparently were his children. (In the Edda the god Wodan, in order to obtain magic power is sacrificed by himself to himself). From the body of the divine victim the universe was produced. “The Hymn of the Primeval Man” (PURUSHA SUKTA) in which this first cosmic sacrifice is described, bristles with obscurities, but its purport is quite clear. (Please refer Appendix-I of this web page -- Ed).
“When the gods made a sacrifice
With the Man as their victim,
Spring was the melted butter, summer the fuel And autumn the oblation. From that all-embracing sacrifice
The clotted butter was collected.,
From IT were made the animals Of air and wood and village.
(Presumable THE MAN Prajapati himself, who survived his own dismemberment). From that all-embracing sacrifice
Were born the hymns and chants,
From that the metres were born,
From that the sacrificial spell were born.. Thence were born horse, and all beings with two rows of teeth. Thence were born cattle, and thence goats and sheep.
“When they divided the Man,
Into how many parts did they divide him? What was his mouth, what were his arms,, What were his thighs and his feet called?
The Brahman was his mouth,
Of his arms was made warrior, His, thighs became the vaisya,
Of his feet the sudra was born. The moon arose from his mind,. from his eye was born the sun,. from his mouth Indra and Agni, from his breath the wind was born. From his navel came the air,
From his head there came the sky,
From his feet the earth, The four quarters from his ear,
Thus they fashioned the worlds.
With Sacrifice the gods sacrificed to Sacrifice These were the first of the sacred laws. These * mighty beings reached the sky,
Where are the eternal spirits, the gods”.
(It is not clear who are the mighty beings referred to. They are not gods themselves, and the last verse may be a later addition).
By this time a new attitude to the sacrifice had developed, and the rite had become a supernal mystery. By means of it the priests mystically repeated the primeval sacrifcice, and the world was born anew. Without regular sacrifices all cosmic processes would cease and chaos would come again. Thus the order of nature was on ultimate analysis is not dependent on the gods at all, but on the brahman, who by the magic of the sacrifice maintained and compelled them. The brahman was more powerful than any earthly king or any god; The brahman was more powerful than any earthly king or any god; by his accurate performance of sacrifice he maintained all things, and was therefore the supreme social servant; by the slightest variation of ritual he could turn the sacrifice against his patrons and destroy them and was therefore the most dangerous of enemies.
This is the basic doctrine of the brahman, and it prevailed in many Aryan communities in North India from about 900 B.C. onwards, and left its mark on Hinduism in the exaltation of the brahman. In this period many of the old gods of the Rig Veda lost their greatness, and became comparatively unimportant, while others rose in popularity, notably Vishnu and Rudra; the latter was already sometimes called by the epither SIVA, THE PROPITIOUS, originally a deprecatory euphemism.
Speculation and Gnosis: Ascetism was not merely a means of escape from unhappy and unsatisfying world; it had a positive aspect, for, it was in part inspired by a desire for knowledge, for the wisdom which the four vedas could not give. Thus the growth of asceticism is not only a measure of the psychological incertainty of the times, but also of their thirst for knowledge. It is not just to India to stigmatise her ancient wisdom as mere “life-negation”.
All through the first millenium B.C. intelligent minds in India were striving for convincing explanations of the cosmic mystery. In the latest phase of the Rig Veda, poets began to wonder about creation, which was not adequately explained by the current mythology. As we have seen, creation was thought of by some as the effect of a primeval sacrifice. It was also suggested that it was due to a sort of sexual act; elsewhere the world was said to have originated in a “Golden Embryo” (Hiranyagarbha), or the prototype of the Cosmic Egg of later Hindu mythology. In one hymn the poet states that the world arose from warmth (tapas, later usually meaning penance or asceticism), and then rather regretfully admits that he is not sure of this hypothesis, and suggests that perhaps even the high god Prajapati does not know the truth.
This wonderful “HYMN OF CREATION”, one of the oldest surviving records of philosophic doubt in the history of the world, marks the development of a high stage of abstract thinking, and it is the work of a very great poet, whose vision of the mysterious chaos before creation, and of mighty ineffable forces working in the depths of the primeval void, is portrayed with impressive economy of language.
Then even nothingness was not, nor existence.
There was no air then, nor the heavens beyond it.
What covered it? Where was it? In whose keeping?
Was there then cosmic water, in depths unfathomed?
Then there was neither death nor immortality, Nor was there then the torch of night and day, Then One breathed windlessly and self-sustaining..
There was that One then, and there was no other.
At first there was only darkness wrapped in darkness.
All this was only unillumined water.
That One which came to be, enclosed in nothing, Arose at last, born of the power of heat. In the beginning desire descended on it --,
That was the primal seed, born of the mind.
The sages who have searched their hearts with wisdom Know that which is , is kin to that which is not. And they have stretched their cord across the void, And know what was above, and what below.
Seminal powers made fertile mighty forces.
Below was strength, the over it was impulse.
But, after all, who knows and who can say
When it all came, and how creation happened?
The gods themselves are later than creation, So who knows truly whence it has arisen? Whence all creation had its origin,
He, whether He fashioned it or thwehter He did not,
He, who surveys it all from highest heaven,
He knows -- or may be even He does not know.
(Author’s Note : My translation of this obscure verse is very free).
In the centuries succeeding the composition of the Rig Veda, however, speculation was mainly concerned with the symbolism of the sacrifice.
“Dawn is the head of the sacrificial horse, the sun its eye, the wind its breath, fire its mouth, the year is the body of the sacrifice, heaven its back, the sky its belly, earth its chest, the four quarters - the seasons its limbs, the months and fortnights its joints; days and nights are its feet; the stars its bones, the heavens its flesh. Its half-digested food is sand; its bowels the rivers, its liver and lungs the mountains; its hair plants and trees. When the sun rises it is the hourse’s fore-quarters; when it sets it is its hind-quarters. When the horse shakes itself it lightens; when it kicks, it thunders; when it makes water, it rains. Sound is its voice”.
The symbolism of the sacrifice was carried much further than this. Every word or action of the ritual was identified with some aspect of the cosmos. The intellectual ingenuity spent on this process of finding pratikas (symbols) must have been considerable, but it was largely sterile. Yet the questing spirit of the “Hymn of Creation” never wholly disappeared, and in the 6th Century B.C. it bore fruit in a great wave of thought which was to alter the whole religious life of India.
The Universal Essence is sometimes defined in purely negative terms. “The Self can only be described as ‘Not this, not this’. It is incomprehensible, imperishable.....unattached..... it does not suffer..........it does not fail”. But despite the negations of this passage, the sage Yajnavalkya, to whom it is attributed, could not escape giving the Universal Essence a degree of personality and in one place almost identified it with the High God.
“The great unborn self, comprised of knowledge.......the other in the heart. In that is the Ruler and Lord, the King of all things. He grows no greater by good deeds, nor smaller by evil deeds, but he is the Lord of all things, the king of all things, the protector of all things”.
In the verse, Upanishad, the World Spirit is described rather as a god than as cosmic essence. (SUPREME SPIRIT is termed as WORLD SPIRIT or Universal Essence in this book).
“He encircles all things, radiant and bodyless, unharmed, and untouched by evil, all-seeing, all-wise, all-present, self-existent,
He has made all things well for ever and ever”.
In the Upanisad from which this is taken the World Spirit is referred to as ISA, THE LORD. The Katha Upanisad calls the Spirit, The Person (PURUSHA), reminding us of the Divine Victim of the Primeval Sacrifice from which the world was born. In one passage the World Spirit is mentioned with fear and dread, recalling that earlier felt for the god Varuna. All things whatever, the whole world, produced (from Brahman) tremble in its breath.
It is a great terror, an unpraised thunderbolt.
They who know This become immortal”.
“From Terror (of Brahman) the Fire burns.
From the Terror (of Brahman) the Sun shines. From Fear of Brahman Indra, and the Wind, and Death as the fifth all run away”.
The Svetasvatara Upanisad, which is later than those previously mentioned, describes the World Spirit in completely theistic terms. It is no longer an impersonal essense, but a creator god-fact, the god Rudra or Siva. Rudra may be reached not only by meditation and penance, but also by devotion and worship.
The snarer, who rules alone in his might,
He who governs the world in his power, Is always one and the same, though all else rise and decay......”.
“There is one, Rudra alone,....... who rules the world in his might.
He stands behind all beings, he made all the worlds, and protects them, and rolls them up at the end of time”. The Lord lives in the faces of all beings, in their heads, in their necks, He lives in the inmost hearts of all, The all-pervading, all-present Siva”.
This brings us very near to the religious atmosphere of the Bhagavad Gita, the most exalted and beautiful of India’s religious poems, which teaches a fully fledged theism and is part of the more changed from a religion of sacrifice to one of devotion

A NOTE ON THE OMMITTED PORTION IN THE TRANSLATION WORK OF S R I M A D - B H A G A V A T H A M
EXTRACTS FROM THE BOOK “SAARAM”
(PUBLISHED BY RK MATH - MADRAS - 4)
Srimad Bhagavatam is believed to be the prophecy spoken by the very Lord Almighty to Brahma--- (Srimad Bhagavatam. Canto II.7.51), which in turn came to us from Brahma through Naroda, Vyaasa, Shukha, Suta, etc, in that order of disciples of Narayana. The Standard version of Srimad Bhagavatam as told by Veda Vyasa contains valuable prophecies of Kalki Avatar and coming Yugas and Manvantras. The present day translations and books on Srimad Bhagavatam conveniently set aside the present and future prophecies yet to be fulfilled in our times, and just try to glorify the past historical events of the Avatar of Dwaparayuga. We have already translated important prophecies of Veda Vyasa from Bhavishya Mahapuranam and Kalki Puranam. To our dismay, we found that the important texts prophesying about the abode of Kalki-Avatar (The famous TAMBRAPARNI RIVER missing e.g.p.216). This is a very serious ommission by the Translators, because TAMBRAPARNI RIVER is the key to find out the wherabouts of Kalki Avatar. In Treta Yuga, Rama appeared on the earth in Ayodhya, on the outskirts of Ancient River SARAYU. In Dwapara Yuga, Krishna Avataram and old related activities happened round about River Yamuna. Krishna was born in Mathura, and brought up in Gokulam (Brindavan), having River Yamuna flowing in between.
But Veda Vyasa has clearly prophesied as per the command of Almighty that VISHNU will appear as Kalki in Shambhalagramam in Dravida Desham (South India), on the outskirts of River Tambraparni-(Srimad Bhagavatam. Canto.XI 5:31-42). It is further stated in this portion that Kauveri, Kritamala (Vaigai), Payaswini (Palar) and Pratichi are the other rivers of that country. The geographical description clearly denotes Tamil Nadu. The prohpecy further says that in Kaliyugam, the real devotees of NARAYANA will be found worshipping LORD NARAYANA at his Feet, voluntarily forsaking their wealthy positions and jobs etc. But the important portion of Text.5:33,35 to 40 and 42 are completely missing in the Book Bhagawata - Asram.p.No.335.
Many Hindu religious sectarian organisations are springing up in this century simultaneously, when the whole world is unaware of the KALKI MAHA AVATAR who is already secretly working out HIS DIVINE Mission before His Final One laught, which is completely hidden from the vulturous eyes of the worldly religious leaders. This world failed to recognize the manifestation of God in the previous Ages. Only after their departure the world and the religion declared and honoured them as God, but in their life time all the manifestations of God received only brickbats from this world right from the when the LORD HARI Himself has come down as KALKI (KALKI==KALKA VINASHA - i.e. One who destroys all our sins), to redeem His people -- (Please refer to the MANUJOTHI ASHRAM PUBLICATIONS: (1) The Mystery of Bhagavadgita, and (2) KALKI MAHA AVATAR -- Vols. 1 and 2, for further enlightenment).
TIME OF ADVENT OF KALKI AVATAR
(Ref Bhagavata Saaram P430-439)
(Srimad Bhagavatam XIICh23)
There appears to be a confusion about the date of birth of Kalki Avatar. Veda Vyasa wisely omitted this aspect in Srimad Bhagavatam because he wanted to hide the secret of birth of Kalki Avatar from the world. But he has clearly told about the Kalki Avatar to his son Sukha and disciple Suta etc., as mentioned in Bhavishya Puranam and Kalki Puranam. Veda Vyasa himself gave different dates as for the birth of Kalki-Avatar.
BHAVISHYA PURANAM: Canto IV.Ch.23. Text 15.
The Saviour of the entire universe, Maha Vishnu will be born on Margashirsha, Krishna Ashtami, 8th day after the full-moon day in the month of Capricorn (Dec.15 to Jan.14).
KALKI PURANAM: Canto I.Ch.2. Text 10-15.
LORD VISHNU (MADHAVA) born in human form as KALKI AVATAR in Shambhalagramam in Phalguna Shukla Dwadashi (12th day after Amavasya in the month of Pisces - 15th March). This is the correct prophecy as the LORD KALKI was born on 24th Feb. 1921.
KALKI - AVATAR - By Sudharsanam Simha Chakra, Mathura (in Hindi)
Shri. Chakra says thus (p.111). The birth-days of many Avatars are celebrated throughout India in the ancient temples. But I do not know whether KALKI JAYANTI is specially celebrated anywhere. But according to the Panchangam (Hindu Calender) of South India I found that KALKI JAYANTI is celebrated regularly in many famous temples of South India, on Shravana - Shukla - Shasthi (6th day of the Amavasya in Shravana, 15th July to 14th Aug. i.e. on 21st July.)
SRIMAD-BHAGAVATAM: Canto. XII Ch.2. Text.23-24. Text23
The KRITHA YUGA ! (SATYA-YUGA) or DHARMA-YUGA will come from the day LORD KALKI comes on the world. Even the people born in His time will be peace loving and meek and gentle in temperament.
Text24
DHARMA YUGA will start from the Day on which Sun, Moon, and Jupiter will meet uner the star “PUSHYA” in one Zodiac.
According to this Text, Kritha Yugam (Millenium) would start on a particular Amavasya day between 17th July and 16th August of the year.
Veda Vyasa has given another clue about the Revealing of Kalki in
Srimad-Bhagavatam Canto-II Ch7 Text37
“When the Atheists (Scientists) after being well-versed in the Scriptural Scientific knowledge, annihilate inhabitants of different planets, flying unseen in the sky, on the wellbuilt rockets prepared by the great Scientist Maya, The LORD will bewilder their mind by dressing Himself (as Man) attractively and will preach His Doctrine (Aupa-Dharmam).
This prophecy was fulfilled on 20-21st July 1969, when just an hour before Man first landed on the Moon, God revealed Himself with fire coming out of His eyes and mouth, and His human form being transfigured into the form of Light. Since then we are celebrating the Day of God revealing Himself as Man, hiding all His powers within Him, as KALKI-JAYANTHI. The believers recognize Him as of their own religion and call Himby the Name known to them, like as Narayana by Hindus, Allah by Muslims, and Christ Jesus by Christians.
But His Personal Name (LAWRIE or LAHARI) brings us all the power and blessings even deathlessness.
God has revealed Himself as Human in these last days fulfilling all His prophecies of all His sacred books. It is only for us to accept and act and follow His foot-steps. People may claim and form their own group and organisation. But God has to vindicate His form and has to prove that His WORD is true which He is doing now. Now that the kingdom is already established from 21st July 1987 and that the ROYAL FLAG of LOVE of God is hoisted, Time is No More !!!! Come unto Him before he shuts himself in and takes off, before his final onslaught on the enemy, the Kali or Satan
APPENDIX - V
A Note on the Display of a Stone Idol of Vishnu Whose head, arms and feet as if being cut off, exhibited in an Indian Arts Exhibition in Washington, America in 1985.
(As published in Tamil weekly, Kalkandu, dt.1.8.85)
The photo copy of the stone idol of Vishnu which was displayed in Washington in an Indian Exhibition in 1985 is appended here as it is in concordance with the Vedic View of Supreme Sacrifice of Parama Purusha. A translated version of the news which appeared in Tamil magazine, Kalkandu, dt. 1.8.85. is given below:
“An exhibition on Indian Archaeological Art and Sculpture was arranged in the National Art Gallery of Arts in Washington, America showing the might of the Indian Sculpture. Some important stone idols carved between 3000 B.C. and 1300 A.D. were on the show, which were of India only. This stone idol (shown in the picture) carved without head, arms, and feet is that of Vishnu and it is believed to be of the 5th Century A.D. Many more such stone idols have attracted the thoughts of Americans”.
‘SATI’
‘RITUAL KILLING’ ‘ WHICH IS MURDER’
A recent ‘SATI’ incident at Deorala in Rajasthan State of India had aroused and kindled a spate of very loud protests from almost every quarter, from the common village-man or townsman on the street to the highest cultured gentleman.
‘Sati’ is a ritual by which the wife of a man who dies, is burnt alive along with him, whether she is young or middle-aged or old, or whether she is quite willing or half willing or most unwilling, and is practised by certain sections of Hindus - an insignificant minority - mostly in Gujarat and Rajasthan States in India.
As a result, steps to legilate stricter laws at State and Central levels to prevent ‘Sati’ have been initiated. The hard and adamant core among the protagonists of ‘Sati’ have mounted counter protests against the State interfering with their religious and social age-long custom of ‘sati’ ritual. Even they cannot point to any scriptural (Vedic) sanction behind this ancient custom which was only traditional. Neither the Vedas nor even Manu’s DharmaShasthra have any mention of this tradition. On the other hand, there are references in these scriptures which point to the existence of widows and permit the remarriage of women under certain conditions.
For instance, the Rig Veda upholds property rights for widows. It even says that a widow could marry the brother of her late husband--(10-40-2).
Manu also has said the same thing that a widow could marry her husband’s brother, though he would restrict its purpose to begetting a son. The following sloka in Manu in quite significant:-
“Naste Mrute Pravrajite Klibecha Patite Pathau;
Panchatvapatsu Nareenam Pathiranyo Vidheeyate.”
This sloka permits women, even while, in most cases, their husbands are alive, to remarry, when they are faced with the following five categories of calamities:-
When the husband is lost; or
When the husband turns to sanyasa (hermit’s life);or
When the husband is impotent; or
When the husband is committed a heinous crime; or (v) When the husband is dead (probably prematurely).
This clearly shows that Manu was most considerate towards ill-fated women and did never ensorse ‘sate’ ritual. The Vedas and the Upanishads too depict the same picture.
The Epics of Ramayana and Mahabharatha also have no instance of ‘sati’ ritual mentioned therein. If the ritual had Vedic or Dharmic sanction, the three wives of Dasarathe, especially Kaikeyi was responsible for the death of the king, should have ascended the funeral pyre with their deceased husband and king. They did not, nor any woman who figured in the epic ever thought of dying with her husband. In Mahabaratha too, Kunti could not have bred and brought up the Pandavas and protected them against the wicked Kauravas, had she committed ‘sati’. If Shivaji’s mother had dived into the funeral pyre of her husband, how could Shivaji the Great have built up a glorious empire through the inspiration of his mother?
So it is unquestionably evident that this barbaric ‘sati’ ritual should have been born out of some expedient which happened in the most ancient times and became a traditional custom, which people thought had religious sanction. But none of the religions nor their scriptures endorse or even make mention of it. And we should be grateful to the latter day veteran social reformers like Basaweswara and Raja Ram Mohan Roy who valiantly and persistently strove for the abolition of this age-old tradition and quite succeeded in getting legislation passed banning the ritual and imposing punishments for breach of the law. Virtually, therefore, there was no sati burning, nor was one heard of, till this recent incident occurred. The wholesale condemnation of the recent ‘sati’ incident as Deorala was, therefore, quite right and deserved all the appreciation it gained.
Regarding the efforts at the enforcement of anti-sati-ritual, one cannot help feeling amused at the recent remark of Profr. N.G.Ranga, a member of Parliament of India (the Lok Sabha), namely:- “Who is Manu? We (the Parliament members) are the Manu”. If one should remark, the legislators should be bolder to venture upon and succeed in the introduction and passing of a common civil code for all the citizens of our secular country instead of there being multiple standards fostered and propagated by the fundamentalists of the diverse
religions of the land.
In this connection, the valiant example of the Utah state should find mention. When the Utah territory with a predominant Mormon population practising polygamy, applied for Statehood in the U.S.A., they were given the option to choose either Statehood or polygamy. The Mormons valiantly chose Statehood and joined the U.S.A. by conforming to the common law of Monogamy in the rest of the Union.
Can we expect or find such a lot of courage of conviction and honesty of purpose as the Mormons had exhibited, in the legislators of India’s Parliament and of its State Assemblies, who claim themselves to be modern Manus? If they are so bold enough, the only counter law which could and wouls erase even a trace of the sati ritual from off the land, would be to legislate that whichever family wishes to continue to observe sati ritual, in that family, when a wife dies, herhusband too should be burnt alive with her. This is the only way by which ‘sati’ could be effaced effectively from society. Will our legislators venture out so valiantly and strike at the root of the eveil by passing the above law?
Supporters of the Deorala ‘Sati’ incident claim that it brought glory to womanhood. When the above counter law is passed, it would be interesting to see how many husbands whose wives die, would come forward to immolate themselves and bring glory to manhood.
Regarding a common civil code for all citizens of India, even if one such code is legislated upon and comes into being, how could it be enforced of put into common practice by all members of the public, unless all believe that there is but one God for all, and that only the diverse religions give various names to Him and make so many gods out of the One.
There have been preachers and reformers in all religions who have boldly asserted that Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, etc., need not give up their respective religions to join another religion and that on the other hand each religion should find ways of identifying itself with the other religions, and turn towards the one God and Lord of the entire Universe who would work through every culture and religion.
In South India the above divine doctrine was first preached by BRO.PAULASEER LAWRIE MUTHUKRISHNA, which made the Christians furious. It made the administration of the (American) CMC Hospital, Vellore, in which BRO.LAWRIE was then working as the Secretary of the General Superintendent of the Hospital, still more furious. Immediately, action was taken against him and BRO.LAWRIE who was to have been deputed to the USA for higher training in Hospital Administration to take up a more responsible administrative post in the Hospital, was denied the deputation, because of this his religious stint of what they called Universalism. But he stuck to his doctrine and resigned his job and came out of the Hospital, and is still going on with his ministry in this divine direction.
When more and more people accept him, not only a common civil code, but a common Universal Society will automatically emerge.
‘ISRAEL OF GOD AND PALESTINE ISRAEL’
All the people created before the foundation of the world, who took part in the Great Supreme Sacrifice, are called Israel of God or Royal Priesthood of God, not the Talmud Jews in Palestine (read the Book of Talmud and Torah Jews, which will be sent to you on request), but people mistakenly call the Talmud Jews as Israel of God. This is a misnomer. Paul, when he said, All Israel will be saved, he really meant, People whom God chose to be in Christ Jesus or Narayana or Allah will be saved. This has no caste or creed or nationality barrier as before the world began all these divisions were not there.
‘SOULS IN PRISON AS CAPTIVES’
In the time of Lucifer he never left anyone free as he was very powerful except Christ Jesus who was first made better than angels who has the key of hell and death - vide Heb.1:4 & Rev.1:18. From Adam’s time the Sacrifice of Lamb was instituted by God to depict the coming of the Sacrifice Lamb to take the place of the Supreme Purusha coming as a man - the Lamb as if it had been slain like Isaac. When he comes down to the Earth, the one looking like a gardener was not the same Jesus as we all know. He went over to hell and brought all the sould in prison which was impossible to be brought out. They were in prison even in the time of Noah. Noah preached the Gospel and eight people were saved and the others rejected the Gospel and had no hope. But those in prison in the time of Lucifer had no one to set them free except the Parama Purusha. So he went down and brought the captives as captive and took them to paradise. All those who died after Jesus are sleeping saints - (have life everlasting) or rise from sleeping like Lazarus, they are not totally dead. They will come now in glorification very very soon. Those who miss glorification will go to tribulation and their eyes will open too late; and if they stand true to this message and die Martry’s death, they are real human beings in the millenium and will be resurrected. This is only the First resurrection.
May the Lord God make you all ready for the Wedding Supper and I am sure you who seriously read these books and are certainly, doers of the word and not hearers only, God will certainly glorify. And God says: “The wife has made herself ready” - not the Bride but she knows she is already married - inside Christ Jesus or Narayana or Allah.
