Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga Ki Jaya !

 

At the heart of the Jewish, Catholic Christian and Sufi Muslim Traditions i=

s

something western theologians call 'Bridal Mysticism'. In Bridal Mysticism=

,

Israel, The Church or the individual Soul is considered 'feminine' (Shakti-=

 

Prakriti or Receiver) in relationship to the 'masculine' (Purusha) Godhead,=

Who

is the Giving Source and Lover of all beings. Historically this concept is =

 

related to the Song of Songs in the Jewish Scripture and to Eli-Yahu and

Shekinah Rabbinical Theology. Shekinah has been considered the uncreated

Feminine or Receiver-ness of Godhead. She is variously related to the

Feminine Divine in Jewish and Catholic Mysticism as the Bride of God, the

Mother of all living, the Vessel of the universe, Holy Wisdom, Personified=

 

Devotion /Love, Queen Sabbath , Ark of Salvation, Mediatrix of Divine Mercy=

 

etc. Thus, even today, Orthodox Jewish Rabbis still teach that the entire

spiritual realm and cosmic manifestation is an expression of the metaphysic=

al

love affair of their Biblical Deity Eli or Yahu and His feminine Shekinah. =

In

Catholic Christianity, the theology of Shekinah has been preserved in the

tradition of the 'hyper dulia' or special veneration of Mary. Mary's

ancient 'Bridal Mysticism' related name is the 'Mystical Rose'. 'Rose' or =

 

RHODA in Greek was the 'Original' or 'Kore' (HARE) virgin-maiden form of

Shekinah venerated throughout the region. Mary has many names and

her 'kenosis' or spiritual emptiness / receiver-ness is considered to be th=

e

condition which is required for God's Incarnation in the universe and in ea=

ch

soul. 'Bridal' or mystical union with God is not possible without the keno=

sis of

Rhoda-Shekinah-Mary. Furthermore, Catholic tradition teaches that

understanding Mary as THEOTOKOS and MATER DEI, the 'Mother of God', is

the key to understanding the historical and theological identity of the Jud=

eo-

Christian Godhead. If we study the names and related doctrines and practice=

s

of Mary found throughout all of the Apostolic (Catholic) Churches of

Christianity, from a Vaishnava or Shaivite understanding of Radha-Shakti, i=

t

becomes abundantly clear that Rhoda-Shekinah-Mariam is, in fact, Radha-

Shakti-Narayani. Thus She reveals to us the identity of the Biblical Deity=

Eli-El

or Yahu. EL or ELI=HARI or HARA. The Supreme Semitic Deity Eli or El is H=

ari

(Krishna) & Hara (Dionysos-Bal as Shiva). Yahu is Vasu-deva or Vishnu

(YISHMA-YAHU in Hebrew means Vishnu –Yasu or Vishnu is Yahu, YESHI-

YAHU means Vasu is Yahu, and is related to the Heliopolitan and Theban

Egyptian Deity Names ASU and WASU.) Again, if we study the ancient Names, =

 

doctrines and practices associated with ELI-YAHU, we cannot honestly avoid =

 

the conclusion that the Biblical Deity is Krishna-Vishnu / Shiva, the God o=

f

Vedic and Puranic Bhakti Traditions. In the ancient Mediterranean region, =

there

was not the separation between Vaishnavism and Shaivism that we see today, =

 

as all Vishnu and Shiva Manifestations were considered forms of BALU-YAHU-

DIONYSOS (MESSIAS), BALADEVA, the Salvific Descending Savior of all

universes. Yahu, also called BALU is the Emanating and Incarnating Savior o=

f

all worlds, the Servitor Lord, the NAMA-RUPA of Godhead for salvific

pastimes. He is the Second Person of the Judeo-Catholic Trinity. In the

Mediterranean, He is the Source of all 'SHIVA' Forms as well as Vishnu For=

ms

of GOD. All sacrificial systems and sacramental social orders derive from =

His

primal once-and-all-sufficient Self-sacrifice at the beginning of every cos=

mic

manifestation as YUPA DHVAJA, the virata-rupa Purusha of the Rig Vedic

Hymn, the Purusha Sukta.

 

For over fifty years, some Jewish scholars have suggested that the Song of =

 

Songs Divine Love Tradition is historically related to some 'Mystery School=

' in

the ancient Mediterranean Sea. In the mid 1960s I identified that 'school'=

as the

transcendent monotheism and idealism of HELIUS (ELI-YAHU) KOUROS and

RHODA on the SACRED ROSE or LOTUS ISLAND (Radha-Padme Dwipa) of

RHODES. All Mediterranean regional monotheism and related high civilizatio=

n

was associated with this religion of RHODA and KOUROS HELIUS on Their

Sacred Isle of Rhodes. KOUROS (KRISHNA) was considered the 'Original

Form' of HELI-US. As EROS He was the Lord of all Hearts, and the Lover of =

all

souls . Psyche, or soul was considered feminine, or receiver in relation th=

e

God, the Origin and Giver of Being.

HELIOS / KOUROS / EROS / was called KYRIOS `LORD'. Since the Late

SERAPEAN Alexandrine Biblical Greek ELI-AS, KYRI-OS and THE-OS can be

identified both with the Hebrew Deity ELI-YAHU and the Greek Monotheists'

Deity HELI-US, it is clear that the monotheistic Heli-us of Rhodes is histo=

rically

the Judeo-Christian Deity Elo-Ah, Eli-Yahu or Muslim ALLAH. This compound =

 

Holy Name appears throughout the ancient world wherever the Krishna-Vishnu =

 

Godhead is worshiped. For instance in Rome as SOLE-US, in Egypt as HOR-

US, in India as HARIH, SUREH, HARAH, HARYAH or SURYA (many variants in

India) and in Tibet and Japan as HRIH, the seed-mantra name of AMITABHA or =

 

AMIDA BUDDHA. In each region This Deity was originally worshiped not as

a 'solar demigod', but as the Supreme Person, The very Spirit of Love, and =

 

Lord of the Heart. As GOD-WHO-IS-LOVE, HARI-VASU WAS RASA RAJA,

TRANSCENDENT CAUSE and END OF THE UNIVERSE, CREATOR of all creators

(KRITA KRITA), LORD of all lords (VARDA VARDANA), and KING of kings /

BASILEOS basileos (VASUDEVA of the VASUDEVAS). As the all-pervasive

HARI / ELI lord of the HEART (HRID, CORDIA, HRI-DAYA or HARI-DAYA) HE

pervaded the cosmos as ATEN / ADON (ATMAN). In His pervasive feature as

Light, and as the Personal Source of Divine Light He was worshiped as PR

AMAN (BRAHMAN) and PHOS (BHAS, as in AMITA-BHA). Thus whenever The

Biblical Deity is invoked as LIGHT / PHO (S) the very NAME OF THE ADI

BUDDHA AMITA BHA (S), AMITO-FHO IS INVOKED! Greek LIGHT = PHO,

Sanskrit = BHA, Chinese = FHO. The Pure Land Buddhist Dharma Kaya or

`Original Body of the Transcendent Adi Buddha' AMITA BHA is HRIH, also

called BHAGAVAN and ADI PURUSHA and PUROSOTTAMA in the Pure Land

Sanskrit Buddhist Scriptures.

 

Numerous legends of pre-historic Rhodes indicate that the Supreme Lord

was worshiped there in peaceful unity by Greeks (Indo-Europeans),

Phoenicians (Semites) and Egyptians (Africans). The first high civilizatio=

ns of

the region were all HELIO-POLITAN. They all worshipped Helios locally in H=

is

multi-form as ZEUS (THEOS) POLIEUS. Kouros-Zeus had infinite forms.

Modern scholars have seriously erred in their analysis of Greek religions. =

 

The FULGAR (lighting bearer) form of Zeus (Indra) was not His Original

Supreme Form. The Discus also became confounded with the lighting bolt

due to the VAJRA becoming confounded with the CHAKRA as the astra of the

Almighty Heavenly Father God. KOUROS WAS THE ORIGINAL FORM OF ZEUS-

JUPITER-AMAN. This can be confirmed by the famous HYMN TO KOUROS

discovered on Crete, and the Pythagorean, Platonic and Orphic worship of

Helios Kouros / Eros as Supreme. Kouros was worshiped in His cities in

local ZEUS (DEVA) POLIEUS FORMS. The sacramental social order of His

Temple Community, City-State and Inter-national Federations as POLIEUS or

POLIS was His PURUSHA SUKTA based varnashrama dharma social system.

As Polieus, Kouros was worshiped in awe and reverence as the Divine King

BAZO-DEO (VASU-DEVA) with HIS QUEEN BASI-LEA (VASU-DEVI). Thus, in

each location (LOKA) POLIEUS and RHODE as FORTUNA-TYCHE were

PURUSHA and LAKSMI.

 

Originally, all Helio-politan coinage was minted for exchange between

Federation Temple City-States at the temples of FORTUNA-MONETA. This is

the origin of 'MONEY', from LAKSMI - FORTUNA's Name MONETA. Sattvic

Heliopolitan Temple Federation Members would not trade with the

worshippers of 'false gods' whose a-dharmic worship involved tamasic

things like human sacrifice and cannibalism, forced chattle slavery, orgias=

tic

rites of intoxication and perverse sex, scripturally unauthorized sacrifice=

,

black-marketeering and related 'gaming' or gambling. Thus the religion of =

 

Helios was always considered ascetic, or pietistic and holy as opposed to

the degraded forms of false 'god' polytheism which ruled in the tamasic

realms of sin and social anarchy, or perverted tamasic social order. Satt=

vic

or 'good' / benevolent order was maintained in Purusha's Polis sacramental =

 

social organization through the sacramental exchange of holy /sattvic

or 'offerable' goods and services via the Sattvic Purusha Sukta based

sacrificial system. 'Bridal Mysticism' and the doctrines of Laksmi-Shakti =

 

(Fortuna-Shekinah) and Prasadam (God's Presence in the Remnants of His

Offerings) established and sustained Heliopolitan Monotheism throughout the=

 

ancient Mediterranean region. According to both Rhodian and Egyptian

traditions, the Heliopolitan high civilization of Egypt was established by =

ACTIS,

a 'RAY' or 'Son' of Helios Kouros and Rhoda before 3000 BC. It is this

tradition, both its esoteric / internal theological 'Bridal Mysticism' and =

its

external sacramental 'catholic' social structure that is the source of Juda=

ism,

Catholic Christianity and Mystical (Sufi) Islam. The existence of this as t=

he

dominant monotheism of the Mediterranean from pre- history and the Minoan

Era (circa 300 BC) onwards, proves that the obviously related 'Indo-

European' Indus-Sarasvati Culture of the same era MUST HAVE BEEN

SIMILARLY HARI / HARA AND SHAKTI CENTRIC. Thus, attempts by scholars to

ascribe late dates to Puranic Vaishnavism and Shaivism are all discredited=

by

the overwhelming evidence from the earliest Semitic, African and European

indigenous Bhakti Traditions. Africans, Semites and Northern 'Indo-

Euopeans' were 'ARYAS' (Hebrew ELYM=ARYAN) or worshipers of HARI or

HARA. The indigenous peoples of India, both the darker skinned Southern

Dravidians, and the lighter Northerners were ARYANS, worshipping HARI or

HARA. In this inter-racial salvific worship of Hari or Hara we come face-=

to-

face with the primal revelatory tradition of the ENTIRE human race. HERI w=

as

the pre historic Supreme Father God of the Nilo-Saharan Tribes and Language=

 

Family. OLU / ORU was the same for the Niger peoples, ELI / ARI / ILU et=

c.

for the Semites and Sumerians, Hurri, Heli, Sole etc. for the Europeans , =

and

Hari, Hara, Sura etc. for those of the Indic and Eastern Bhakti Traditions.=

HARI

cognate Deity names can be found even in Austronesia and the Americas.

These cognate Deity Names are associated with the Origin and Supreme

Father God of all that exists, and frequently have retained associations w=

ith

Love, the Heart, Light, the Sun, Wholeness and the Circle KYKLOS / CHAKRA

>From age to age the struggle has been two-fold. Humanity must battle the

ego-istic tendency to divide itself up into separated antagonistic clans or=

 

groups creating their own 'false gods' of religious exclusivism, racism,

nationalism etc. We must also individually and collectively combat the

tendency toward moral devolution. In each time & place we can observe

Hari's Heliopolitan (or late `Apollonian') Societies struggling to achieve =

or

maintain ascetic or sattvic social order and to promote personal virtue ins=

tead

of rajarsic excess and tamasic vice. The Godhead's Polieus / Purusha

Theistic Unity-in-Diversity has always been the impetus of benevolent 'High=

 

Civilization'. The Sacramental Social Body of Purusha

has incarnated love's idealism and maintained Dharmic exoteric cooperative=

 

social order, while The Mysteries of THE TRINITY / TRI KAYA / TRINI RUPANI =

 

and THE HOLY TRINO-SOPHIA of RADHA-SHAKTI-JIVA have thrilled the souls

of the mystics of every land. A global revival of this unifying, primal exo=

teric

and esoteric spirituality of Transcendent Idealism and Divine Love is wha=

t we

desperately need today to combat the social chaos, antagonism between

races, nations and religions, and moral decline that threatens to overwhelm=

 

us. One people of infinite variety, we have but One God of infinite variet=

y. He

is the Supreme Personality of Love, the Lord of all hearts, worshiped local=

ly in

His infinite NAMA-RUPA. Let us return to His worship in His Spirit of Divi=

ne

Love and Unity, through the Mercy of our Heavenly Mother, and the universal=

 

intercession of the Descending Savior of all worlds. It is our only way to=

 

reconciliation peace and bliss, in this life and in the next !
