The Sacred Trinity of Consciousness, Time and Space - Gaia TV The research of Robert Lawlor reveals that basic laws of proportion and geometry that can be found in space are also reflected in time. They are seen within depictions of the sacred trinity as observed by many of the world's spiritual traditions. We will look at this trinity as consciousness, time and space. Building off of this, we explore sacred proportions, like the golden mean, found within the cyclical nature of time expressed in the Yuga system, as described in ancient Puranic texts.

The contributions to Visnu-Narayana: Changing Forms and the Becoming of a Deity in Indian Religious Traditions (Austrian Academy of Sciences Press, 2023) deal with the complex history of the Indian deity Visnu-Narayana. This conception of God evolved in various traditions in India, especially in South India, during the first millennium CE. The history of this development is reconstructed here by various means, including philological exegesis, the history of ideas, and iconographic evidence. In their respective discussions, the contributors examine a range of textual material in Sanskrit, Tamil, and Manipravala, including the early Cankam literature of the 3rd to 6th century CE; the Vaisnava text corpus, in particular the Nalayiradivviyapirabandham (6th-9th century CE); Puranic literature, especially the Visnupurana (5th-6th century CE); Pancaratra literature; and the later (10th-14th century CE) literature of the philosophical and theological tradition of theistic Visistadvaita Vedanta, in which Visnu-Narayana plays a central role. Also examined is how Visnu-Narayana came to be seen as a solitary supreme God, with a reconstruction of the theological arguments supporting this monotheism. Learn more about your ad choices.

This is another Puranic story from the great epic the Mahabharata. It is about an incident where the eldest of the Pandava brothers, Yudhistira, was in an incredibly difficult situation and had to answer a series of questions that were put to him. Not only were the questions quite extraordinary but his answers were also. They demonstrated his outstanding character, and while a warrior King, he also had the heart and mind of a great saint. One of the questions was "what is the most wonderful thing?" to which he answered - "The most wonderful thing is that although every day innumerable creatures go to the abode of death, still a man thinks he is immortal." This speaks to the fact that if we were more conscious of the reality of our body's immortality, that the time we will spend in this current body is finite and quickly passes, it would necessitate that our life be more purposeful, that our relationship be of greater significance, and that we act with more kindness, compassion, and love.

Continuing with another story in the fireside stories theme for the month at Mantra Night. This is a very ancient Puranic story about a young prince who was insulted by his stepmother and ignored by his father the king. He was so deeply offended he abandoned his home in the palace at the tender age of five and went to the forest to seek a means to get justice. Following in the footsteps of great sages and yogis he attempted to undertake a life of austerity and mystic yoga practice hoping to be blessed with a kingdom that would rival his father's. He eventually has a great spiritual revelation and a vision of the Supreme Soul, after which he returns home. As a result of spiritual enlightenment, he undergoes a complete transformation, declaring that his stated goal of a vast kingdom which previously seemed like priceless gems, now appears to be useless like broken glass. This is the story of the great saintly king, Dhruva Maharaja.

This is a Puranic story about a man who became very wealthy but was extremely miserly and harsh even with his own family. When his store of good karma ran out he gradually lost all his wealth and was rejected by his own family. He reflected deeply on the situation and received some extraordinary insight into his situation. He resolved to become a wandering monk and spend the remainder of his life absorbed in transcendence. While wandering around he was often mistreated but accepted all the unhappiness as being his due. From his enlightenment, he understood the role of the mind and how the eternal spiritual being becomes enslaved by the desires of the mind and suffers greatly as a consequence. There was a recognition of the role which our own choices and actions play in our experiencing happiness and distress and that our destiny and our happiness are in our own hands. By living a life where we are in control of our mind and desires and we consciously choose to do good, the result will be wonderful. He composed a beautiful and poetic song that addresses the reality he was experiencing. Some of the verses included the following: SB 11.23.47: All the senses have been under the control of the mind since time immemorial, and the mind himself never comes under the sway of any other. He is stronger than the strongest, and his godlike power is fearsome. Therefore, anyone who can bring the mind under control becomes the master of all the senses. SB 11.23.48: Failing to conquer this irrepressible enemy, the mind, whose urges are intolerable and who torments the heart, many people are completely bewildered and create useless quarrel with others. Thus they conclude that other people are either their friends, their enemies or parties indifferent to them. SB 11.23.49: Persons who identify with this body, which is simply the product of the material mind, are blinded in their intelligence, thinking in terms of "I" and "mine." Because of their illusion of "this is I, but that is someone else," they wander in endless darkness. SB 11.23.50: If you say that these people are the cause of my happiness and distress, then where is the place of the soul in such a conception? This happiness and distress pertain not to the soul but to the interactions of material bodies. If someone bites his tongue with his own teeth, at whom can he become angry in his suffering? SB 11.23.57: I shall cross over the insurmountable ocean of nescience by being firmly fixed in the service of the lotus feet of the Supreme Soul. This was approved by the previous ācāryas, who were fixed in firm devotion to the Lord, Paramātmā, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. SB 11.23.58: Thus becoming detached upon the loss of his property, this sage gave up his moroseness. He left home, taking sannyāsa, and began to travel about the earth. Even when insulted by foolish rascals he remained unswerved from his duty and chanted this song. SB 11.23.59: No other force besides his own mental confusion makes the soul experience happiness and distress. His perception of friends, neutral parties and enemies and the whole material life he builds around this perception are simply created out of ignorance.

Hanuman is a Hindu god and the companion of the god Rama. Hanuman is often referred to as the son of Vayu, the wind god. One account states that when Anjana was worshipping Shiva, the king of Ayodhya Dashrath was also performing a puja which begot him with sons Rama, Lakshmana, Bharatha and Shatrughna. They were born when his wives consumed a pudding that was blessed by the Gods and passed onto them after the puja. A hawk snatched a portion of the pudding while it was being handed over and flew away with it. The wind god Vayu delivered the portion to the hands of Anjana who consumed it and was blessed with Hanuman as a child. Hanuman is usually depicted as a muscular and exceptionally well built humanoid monkey. He has a distinct apelike face but with other physical features of that of a man excluding a powerful tail. Hanuman was born on the mountain Anjaneri. His mother Anjana was an apsara who was born on earth after suffering a curse. She was redeemed by giving birth to a son. The Ramayana states that his father, Kesari, was the king of a place called Sumeru. For 12 long years, Anjana and Kesari prayed for a son to Lord Shiva and was eventually blessed with a son.He is also the son of Vayu, who in various stories played a crucial role in his birth. Another tradition says that Anjana and her husband Kesari prayed to Shiva for a child. By Shiva's direction, Vayu transferred his male energy to Anjana's womb. Accordingly, Hanuman is identified as the son of the Vayu.The origin of the word Hanuman is unclear. One interpretation is that it refers to a character with a mutilated jaw. This supports a Puranic legend where Hanuman, as an infant, mistakes the Sun for a fruit and makes a leap towards it. He is wounded in the jaw when he is thrown back to earth by the sun God.Hanumat, Anuman, Hanumantha, and Hanumanthudu are some of the names that have linguistic variations of “Hanuman”. These names are often used in rural India. Anjaniyar, Anjaneyar, and Anjaneya are also used in Southern India to indicate that he is the son of Anjana.Vayuputra/ Pavanputra – the son of the Vayu deva, Vajrang Bali/Bajrang Bali – “the strong one (bali), who had limbs (anga) as hard or as tough as vajra (diamond)”, Sankata Mochana – “the remover of dangers, hardships, or hurdles”, Maruti – “son of Maruta” (another name of Vayu deva), Kapeeshwara – “Lord of monkeys”, Rama Doota – “the messenger of Lord Rama”, Mahakaya – “gigantic”, Vira/Mahavira – “most valiant”, Mahabala/Mahabali – “the strongest one” are some other common names we hear from other parts of India.Hanuman is blessed with numerous gifts, powers and abilities but is also cursed with the fact that he is never aware of his powers. Some his abilities include being immortal, being a bramhachari who can control all kinds of temptations, being a shapeshifter, extraordinary strength, knowledge of Vedas and a healer of diseases.Hanuman as a deity has influence over Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism and other traditional religions of South East Asia. He is seen in drawing and historical representations of various Asian cultures like Thailand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Cambodia. He is also a common fixture of Ramlila celebrations and also has temples dedicated to him all over India.Read about Hanuman at https://mythlok.com/hanuman/

She is the divine Goddess of the Universe in her most fearful and powerful form. She is also the consort of Mahakala, the god of consciousness, the basis of reality and existence. Mahakali in Sanskrit is etymologically the feminized variant of Mahakala or Great Time (which is interpreted also as Death), an epithet of the god Shiva in Hinduism. Kali and all her forms are the different manifestations of Mahakali. Mahakali's origin is contained in various Puranic and Tantric Hindu Scriptures (Shastra). In these She is variously portrayed as the Adi-Shakti-Goddess Durga, the Primeval Force of the Universe, identical with the Ultimate Reality or Brahman. She is also known as the (female) Prakriti or World as opposed to the (male) Purusha or Consciousness, or as one of three manifestations of Mahadevi Durga (The Great Goddess) that represent the three Gunas or attributes in Samkhya philosophy. In this interpretation Mahakali represents Tamas or the force of inertia. She is described as an abstract energy, the yoganidra of Vishnu. Brahma invokes Her and She emerges from Vishnu and He awakenes. She is the Goddess of time.

The word Purana literally means ancient, and it is a vast genre of Indian literature about a wide range of topics, particularly about legends and other traditional lore. The Puranas are known for the intricate layers of symbolism depicted within their stories. Composed primarily in #Sanskrit, but also in Tamil and other Indian languages . Several of these texts are named after major #Hindu deities such as #Vishnu, #Shiva, #Brahma and #Shakti. The Puranic literature is encyclopedic, and it includes diverse topics such as cosmogony, cosmology, genealogies of gods, goddesses, kings, heroes, sages, and demigods, folk tales, pilgrimages, temples, medicine, astronomy, grammar, mineralogy, humor, love stories, as well as theology and philosophy.The content is highly inconsistent across the Puranas, and each Purana has survived in numerous manuscripts which are themselves inconsistent. #Vyasa, the narrator of the #Mahabharata, is hagiographically credited as the compiler of the Puranas. The ancient tradition suggests that originally there was but one Purana. #Top5indianpodcast #indiapodcast #ashishpmishrapodcast #puranas #hinduculture #sanatandharma --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ashish-p-mishra/support

While the modern-day scientific papers keep changing,for clarity, the facts mentioned in these texts have stood the test of Time, right from the Rig Vedic Period, currently dated at 5000 BC. Some times , while sticks to this view, one comes across some seemingly contradictory facts . For example the death of Lord Rama preceded the Death of Lord Krishna by a mere 200 years, while according to Puranas these two events were separated by thousands of Years. By diligently following the Hindu Texts one can solve these riddles. Please read my post on Rama's death precedes Krishna by 200 Years. Now at what did Lord Krishna shed His mortal coil? The Bhagavata Purana verse 11.6.25 says that Krishna lived for 125 years on earth. The first verse of Mausal Parva, Mahabharata says that Yudhisthira saw bad omens (because of Krishna's departure from the earth) after 36 years of ruling after they won the Kurukshetra war. So that means Krishna was about 89 years old at the time of war. This corroborates with the view that the age of Kali-yuga started in 3102 BCE, according to Dr. Achar. As stated in the Puranas, Kali-yuga had already begun, but its full influence was held back because of the presence of Lord Krishna. Then when Lord Krishna departed from this world, which is said to have occurred 35 years after the war of Kurukshetra in 3067, making it the year of 3032 BCE, then Kali-yuga began to show more of its effects. According to Puranic sources,Krishna's disappearance marks the end of Dvapara Yuga and the start of Kali Yuga, which is dated to February 17/18, 3102 BCE. Astronomically simulated Eclipses and Greek Records place the year at 3031 BC The Greek records go on to record that Heracles (Krishna) lived 138 generations before the time of Alexander and Sandrocottas, which was about 330 BCE. This then calculates, based on about 20 years per generation, to roughly 3090 BCE, which is about the right time considering 3102 BCE is the date when Kali-yuga began. Thus, Lord Krishna was a genuinely historical figure who lived about the time of 3200-3100 BCE, having lived to 125 years of age. “According to the epic Mahabharata, Krishna first appears [in the epic] at the time of Draupadi's wedding, and His departure is exactly 36 years after the war. No information about His birth is available in the epic itself, although there is information about His departure. Krishna observes omens (Mahabharata 14.3.17), similar to the ones seen at the time of the war, now indicating the total destruction of the Yadavas. [Astrological] Simulations show that in the year 3031 BCE, thirty-six years later than 3067 BCE, there was an eclipse season with three eclipses. A lunar eclipse on 20 October was followed by an annular solar eclipse on 5 November, followed by a penumbral lunar eclipse on 19 November, within an interval of 14 days and at an aparvani time. Thus the date of departure of Lord Krishna is consistent with the popular tradition that He passed away 36 years after the war. The information about His birth can be gathered from the Harivamsha and the Bhagavata Purana…. It should be understood, however, that the date of His departure from this world is established on the information in the epic and on the basis of [astronomical] simulations, and it turns out to be 3031 BCE' Refernces.

Lecture by Swami Tattwamayananda. This lecture begins with a discussion of the Vedanta and Yoga explanation of the variety of human beings. At the physical and spiritual level, all are the same, but at the subtle personality level, there is a great variety. The goal of Yoga is to become free from the trap of this subtle body, Antahkarana. For that, the practice of Vairagya, dispassion is essential. Swami discusses that in Yoga hermeneutics words have a specific well-defined meaning. The first stage of dispassion, Vashikara-Vairagya, is described as a turning away from the negative towards the positive. The four relations – Maitri, Karuna, Mudhita, Upeksha – are emphasized at this stage. The lecture ends with a Puranic story emphasizing how good deeds performed early in life can save one late in life. Verses: I. 15, I.16

In 1658, a Dutch East India Company merchant by the name of Philip Angel presented a gift manuscript to Company Director Carel Hartsinck. It was intended to get into Hartsinck’s good books; Angel had been recalled to the VOC-headquarters at Batavia in disgrace for engaging in private trade and was to account for his actions in a hearing. Back home in Holland, Philip Angel had been a painter and a published author. The manuscript, convincingly edited by Carolien Stolte as Philip Angel’s Deex-Autaers: Vaisnava Mythology from Manuscript to Book Market in the Context of the Dutch East India Company, c. 1600-1672 (Manohar, 2012) recounts the well-known Puranic myths of the avataras of Vishnu. It conformed to all the contemporary conventions of an ‘exotic’ gift manuscript and reflects his artistic skills. But Angel offered no details of how he acquired the manusc ript, in what language, or who assisted him. This requires an investigation into the practices of information-gathering on Indian religious texts by important players of the time, ranging from Portuguese Jesuits to the court scriptoria of the Mughals. Finally, without acknowledgment of its author, Angel’s manuscript ended up on the commercial European book market, where it gained a conspicuous place within the corpus of seventeenth century Dutch literature on the East. Angel’s almost forgotten manuscript is not only a superb example of Dutch Orientalism, it also stands in a long tradition of borrowing and buying information on Indian religions. This fifth volume of Dutch Sources on South Asia consists of two parts. Part one traces the history of the manuscript and its maker, as well as the larger historical context in which it was assembled. The second part provides the reader with a transcription of the original manuscript and an annotated translation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
