Before a state is recognized as genuinely transcendental, it must pass certain tests.

[Guest guest]

" The word darsana, which is usually translated `philosophy', means

in Sanskrit seeing or experience. From this we may gather that Indian

philosophy is not merely metaphysical speculation, but has its

foundation in immediate perception. God and the soul are regarded by

the Hindu mind, not as concepts, speculative and problematical, as is

in the case of Western philosophy, but as things directly known. They

can be experienced not merely by a chosen few, but, under right

conditions, by all humanity.

 

This insistence upon immediate perception rather than on abstract

reasoning is what distinguishes the Indian philosophy of religion

from philosophy as Western nations know it. Immediate perception is

the source from which springs all Indian thought.

 

This perception, it must be made clear, is not of the senses, nor

must it be confused with the operation of the intellect, nor of the

emotions; it is supersensuous, transcendental—something not to be

fully explained in rational terms.

 

The Mandukya Upanishad speaks of three states of consciousness-

waking, dreaming, and dreamless sleep. These are common to all men.

In addition, there is turiya (The Fourth), the transcendental state—

known also as samadhi—which may be described as the ultimate

consciousness. Though it is realizable by all men, they do not

experience it in their spiritually ignorant condition. Indian

philosophers call the transcendental state by various names, but all

of the names unmistakably point to the same concept.

 

Turiya, or samadhi, is a phenomenon well known throughout the history

of Indian life. Today, as well as in earliest times, it is

experienced. Sri Ramakrsna, the greatest saint of modern India,

though not a learned man, attained samadhi, and having realized the

highest illumination spoke words of solace and wisdom to all men. The

state is conceivably attainable by anyone who strives hard to free

himself from the dross of worldliness.

 

The Hindu, however, is careful not to confuse reveries, dreams,

hallucinations, and hypnotic spells with transcendental experience.

Before a state is recognized as genuinely transcendental, it must

pass certain tests.

 

First, the revelation it brings must be related (as was said by

Jaimini, founder of the Purva Mimamsa school of thought) to arthe

anupalabdhe—something which is otherwise unknown and unknowable. The

transcendental revelation is therefore not a revelation of things or

truths normally perceived or generally known, nor of truths capable

of ordinary perception or of apprehension through the ordinary

instruments of knowledge. And yet it must be universally

understandable in relation to human experience, and must be

communicable to us in human terms.

 

Second, the truth it reveals must not contradict other truths. It is

necessarily beyond and above reason, but it must not contradict

reason.

 

Thus Indian religion, though having its foundation in supernatural

revelation, gives a legitimate place to logic and reason, and it has

never been an obstacle to the growth of philosophic thinking. In

fact, no race has produced a succession of more subtle or more

rigidly logical thinkers than the Hindus—and yet, without exception,

they have declared that reason, unaided by transcendental experience,

is blind. Those who are called orthodox philosophers accept the Vedic

scriptures as recording revealed truths; and they make these

scriptures the basis of their reasoning. Samkara, one of the foremost

philosophers of India, has this to say concerning the limitations of

reason in the investigation of truth:

 

`As the thoughts of man are altogether unfettered, reasoning which

disregards the holy texts and rests on individual opinion only has no

proper foundation. We see how arguments, which some clever men have

excogitated with great pains, are shown, by people still more

ingenious to be fallacious, and how the arguments of the latter again

are refuted in their turn by other men; so that, on account of the

diversity of men's opinions, it is impossible to accept mere

reasoning as having a sure foundation.'

Divine Feminine (Adi Shakti)

The Kingdom Of God

 

" Since November 1993 the transcendental experiences of children's

souls meeting the Divine Feminine thousands of times over the years

have been recorded. All have independently corroborated and

identified Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi as the divine personality sent to

deliver and explain in detail God Almighty's promised Resurrection

and eschatological evolution into the eternal spirit.

 

The collective signs, prophecies and circumstances ushering this

promised Golden Age for the human race—as according to Christian,

Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist and Hindu scripture—is the leitmotiv of

this website. Few truths are more often or more clearly proclaimed in

the scriptures of all major religions than that of the general

judgment. The scriptures mention certain events and predictions meant

to foreshadow eschatological manifestations of the Last Judgment and

Resurrection (both occur simultaneously and take an entire lifetime,

thus giving ample time to be properly understood and perceived by the

senses). To keep its manifestation in the minds of believers it must

be presented without exciting useless curiosity and vain fears.

Belief in the Last Judgment will become common, indeed creedal,

because scripture says it, tradition asserts it, reason supports it,

and literature and art proclaim it. Most imporant of all the daily

experience of the Cool Breeze that is absolutely beyond any human

manipulation, and specific to the Resurrection (Al-Qiyamah) only, will

eventually manifest universal belief of its commencement!

 

" Though you can understand that Mother's Love makes it very easy for

you to get to your Realization and that the whole story of Last

Judgment—which looks such a horrifying experience—has been made very

beautiful and very tender and delicate, and does not disturb you. "

 

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

 

The eschatology that binds Judaism, Christianity and Islam as one—

final events in history, Resurrection, fulfillment of a divine plan

for humanity, and the immortality of the human soul—is congrously and

collectively fulfilled by the Divine Feminine (Adi Shakti). This site

is thus also an open book and challenge to all guardians of religious

regimes—priests, pastors, reverends, bishops, popes, rabbis, clerics,

imams, mullahs, shaikhs, ulema, ayatollahs, gurus, swamis, pandits,

brahmins, acaryas, bhagwans, granthis, gianis, lamas, monks, dalai

lamas—to rebut and prove Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi’s Divine Message

false. Skeptics, atheists or any anti-cult organization, especially

those specializing in busting fake gurus and false claims, are most

welcome.

 

Should the high priests of organized religions fail to challenge this

site, a forgone conclusion of which we are absolutely assured, they

should refrain from further misleading and dividing fellow beings on

religious, spiritual and mystical issues that are beyond their

present comprehension. The millennia-old rule of the patriarchal

priestly class is definitely over. The religious elite should begin

to realize that the sun is now setting on their evening empires which

are crumbling into sand, and from those ruins is breaking the Dawn of

the Divine Feminine that will awaken the human race from their long

spiritual slumber. "
