Guest guest Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 Namashkar, Sometime ago I had posted on the Esoteric Ramayan- Mahabharat also has a esoteric element hidden in it... It requires some knowledge of Mahabharats story. Shantnu is the Parabrahm, the Supreme beyond. He has 2 wifes- the 1st is Ganga who is pure Conciousness Shakti-or the Adi Shakti. This Adi Shakti has 8 children. 1st 6 are powers of the 3 worlds(Causal, AStral & Physical)- for both the Universe level & individual level. 7th is Universal spirit or Kutashta Chaitnya. These 7 children are hidden from normal people, or " drowned " by Ganga as in the story. The 8th child is the Universal Ego, or Bhishma. Bhisma is the reflection of the Universal spirit. He is not to be confused with our petty egos- the Universal Ego or Bhisma is noble & pure, & has little interest in our physical world(accordingly, Bhisma renounces his throne). Satyavati is the 2nd wife of Shantnu, & is the Primodial nature, or matter. Her 1st son is Vyas, Pure discriminating intelligence, who is hidden. Her other 2 sons are Chitragadha or 1st element, who dies early, as the 1st element in nature(these are Sankhya elements) breaks into its parts. 2nd is Vichitraviyra, the Divine Ego. Vichitravirya has 2 wives-Ambika(negative doubt) & Ambalika, positive power of discrimimation. Vichitravirya dies early, as the Divine ego cant survive contact with physical matter. So Vyas, or pure discrimination & conciousness, is brought to sire 2 children. From Ambika, or doubt, he sires Dhritrashtra, or the blind sense mind, blind as it lacks power o discrimination. Thru Ambalika is sired Pandu, or Buddhi, which is power of wisdom & discrimination. To be continued.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
