He is sorrowful in violence !

There is a misunderstanding about the word Hindu.

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

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

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

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

Vivekananda wrote

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

The Supramental Dialectic



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

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

Then suddenly He heard the Voice.

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

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

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

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

Who can describe Bhagavan Aurobindo ?

The Cosmic Dancer



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

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

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

Everything is He !

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

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

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

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

Aurobindo wrote

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

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

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

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

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

Of Allegories and Symbols







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

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

Purusha and Prakrithi are coexistent aspects of the Eternal.

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

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

Bridal Mysticism opens up the Intuitive Mind

The great poet Ottur wrote

Namamanu Mahavakyam
Namamanu Jagat Guru
Namamanu Thapascharya
Namaman Ishta Daivatham

Glorious is His Name, Nama 
His Name is the Great Aphorism
His Name is Universal Teacher
Greatest Meditation is Nama
And the Tutelary Deity !

Namamanu Ithihasangal
Namamanu Veda Vanikal
Namamanu Kavya Ratnangal
Namamanu Shuka Samhitha !

Nama are all Epics
Nama are all Vedas
All great poetry is Nama
His Name is Shuka Samhitha

Namamanu Athbhutha Swargam
Namamanu Punarbhavam
Namamanu Maha Siddhi
Namamanu Samasthavum

Unbelievable Heaven is Nama
Nama is all in all
Nama is psychic powers
Everything is His Name !


Chanting the Divine Name can open up the Intutive Mind, as in the case of Valmiki. The Intuitive Mind, once opened, will reveal all to the aspirant ! Says Aurobindo " I experienced three of the four faculties of the Intuitive Reason, Revealation, Inspiration and Intuition, known to the Rishies as Ila, Saraswathi and Sarama". This experience came after the Lord revealed his Universal Form, Vishva Roopa . to Aurobindo, in jail.

Water Scarcity during Summer







Now there are newspaper reports that many parts of Kerala are facing acute water shortage.

Rain water harvesting is not done properly. The immense amount of rains received from the two monsoons goes out into the sea. There is no proper planning by the authorities.

During these three summer months, the shortage is going to be more acute.

Nature's reservoirs like paddy fields and forest like areas are being
destroyed by some people who do not believe in the wisdom of Nature.

I have a house in a village and there is no scarcity of water there. This is because of the proximity of the paddy fields, some canals and the large temple pond nearby, which act as Nature's aqua reservoirs.

Nature's water reservoirs are being destroyed. Wells are being covered, paddy fields are destroyed, sarpa kavus or serpeant troves are destroyed. No wonder this has happened.

Now till the Sun's transit of half of Taurus ( on May 29th ), Kerala is in for big trouble. Many are affected by sunstroke as well.

In olden times, all houses were having a sacred grove/ sarpa kavu associated near it. No physical snakes are meant. Sir John Woodroffe's manum opus was the 'Serpent Power".This book is abound the Kundalini, the serpeant power coiled in mortals.

To awaken the Kundalini in us, the sarpa kavus were maintained. There is a saying that the ponds will dry, if we destroy the sarpa kavus. Some antipaganists, who do not revere Nature, destroyed these sacred groves and hence we are facing this problem !

Now the Sun is transiting Alpha Pegasi ( Pororuttathi ) and will be
transiting Alpha Andromed ( Uthrattathi ) from 17th onwards. These are dry spells and the landscape is having a
parched, semi arid look.

By 2015, many West Asian countries will be out of water. India also will be severely affected.

If Kerala's state is like this, what about the rest of India ?

The New Age of Aquarius

The Jupiterian Law or Brihaspathi Neethi




The Venusian Law, the Shukra Neethi

The Eight Symbols of the Eightfold Prosperity




Jupiterian Transits and Business Cycles




Musica Universalis or Music of the Spheres



Saturnine Transits


Saturn is a hard Taskmaster. He can make man bear the Cross. Purgation of sins is effectuated by Saturn.




He causes Sasa Maha Yoga, one of the major yogas.  If he be powerfully
posited in angles, in his own houses or in exaltation, Sasa Yoga is caused. Sasa Yoga gives enjoyments and makes  the native blase or fed up with pleasure,
granting Vairagya or detachment to the native, which will pave the way for
Liberation. Hence the importance of Sasa Yoga in a horoscope.

He represents the principle " Without Hell, no Heaven",  " Without thorns, no roses " , " Without pain, no gain"

In the First, he brings untold sorrows ( Nana Roga shucham )
In the Second, he brings loss of happiness and wealth ( Sukhartha Vihathim )
In the Third, he brings happiness and gains  ( Sthanartha bhrityadhikam ) .
In the Fourth, he brings fall from happiness ( Sthree bandastha sukhachyuthim )
In the Fifth, fall again ( dhana sukha bhramsam )
In the Sixth, fall again ( sapatna kshayam )
In the Seventh, he makes man go away from his domicile ( Marga sakthim )
In the Eighth, he brings sorrows galore ( Analpa Dukha nichayam )
In the Ninth, loss of Righteousness ( Dharma pranasa mayan )
In the Tenth, he brings economic stringency ( Daridram )
In the Eleventh, gains of a high order ( Dhana Labham )
In the Twelfth, dissipation of wealth ( Artha Vihathim ).


Saturnine transits are dreaded and one should be very careful during the negative transits, like Elarata Saturn ( when he transits the 12th, 1st and 2nd ) and 8th.



He has a satellite called Gulika. Gulika's birth is described thus. The King
of the demons, Ravana, asked Saturn to come and stay in the 11th house, the
best house for Saturn, when his son Indrajith was born. Saturn, with his
customary guile and came and stayed in the 11th house, but put his feet in
the 12th ( the worst house for Saturn ). So Ravana got angry and cut the leg
off Saturn. That is why he is said to be lame. Indrajith was defeated when
he was born
