  • Leaving Body At Will Video Rainbow Body Explanation

    The Eastern systems of philosophy consider Human body to be a case for the soul. Human body is made up of the Five Elements of Nature, Earth,Water,Fire,Air and Space.Prithvi, Appu,Agni, Vayu and Akasa.These five elements are present in the Universe and it’s objects, both gross and subtle.When these elements are in grosser combination, they appear as physical entities.When their combination is in finer form ,they are in Astral , Sookshma,Abstract Form. Every human body has both Sthoola,Gross and Sookshma Sareera, Subtle Forms. While the grosser form, this physical frame is visible and is nourished by The Essence of Food, subtle body is nourished by our actions and reactions, both in the present and past Lives.

    Thai Monk leaves body at Hisill.

    Every body is destined to have a specific number of breaths.Once the limit is reached, Breathing Stops, human body returns to the five elements.Unlike other Religions, in Hinduism, the Subtle Sense organs, seeing,hearing,smelling,eating/speaking ,and touching disintegrate into respective elements.Gross body returns to earth, if buried or turns into Fire when burnt,as ashes.

    Both Indian Yogis and Buddhist monks know the process of controlling ,stopping breath.This, in Buddhism, is called Rainbow Body.

    ‘very advanced people through the century have vanished into what is called rainbow body ( Ja Lu in Tibetan and Indrachāp Kaya in Sanskrit ) where the persons body dissolves into rainbow light and vanishes while teaching their disciples while bells and cymbals and music is heard and insence is smelled . Guru Padmasambhava from Uddiyan in the Indian subcontinent ,in what is called Swat Valley in Pakistan today,who studied in Nalanda and attained enlightenment in Nepal, Kathmanu and was crucial in transmitting Buddhism into Tibet in the 9th century and Prahe Vajra of present day India and Sonam Tsemo of Sakya Tibet went like this .

    And gallores of practitioners went in another lower type of rainbow body where their body dissolves gradually within 7–14 days approximately as stipulated by themselves after they stop breathing . Their body is enclosed in a tent by their disciples and 24 hour watch is kept around the tent with chantings and prayers while rainbow lights emit out of the tent and bell and music are heard and incense is smelled and when the tent is opened up in the stipulated time there’s only the clothes and hair and nails etc the rest of the body has vanished . In just one monastery in Kham Tibet ( bordering mainland China)called the Kathog Gumba built around the 11th century , by 1959 when the Tibetans fled from the Chinese , their log book shows 125000 practitioners of that monastery/Gumba in Tibetan alone , had gone in this second type of Rainbow body when they died . Records of other monasteries were destroyed in the cultural revolution. And how many Buddhist practitioners went like these two ways mentioned above in the Indian subcontinent has been lost during the Isalamic invasion of the Indian subcontinent , which completly destroyed Buddhism in the Indian subcontinent . After all by the 8th century 75% of the Indian subcontinent ( not just present day political India ) was Buddhist. And 75% of Asia was Buddhist .

    Then there were many Indian, Nepalese and Tibetan Buddhist Mahasiddhas who went to Khechar loka with their bodies which means their body just vanished at the point of death . These are signs in the Vajrayana tradition of Buddhism practiced in Nepal, Tibet, Mongolia ,China and Japan of a very high realisation or level of Enlightenment /Awakening/Bodhi . Since all records were burnt in the Indian subcontinent when people like Bakhtiar Khilji raided Buddhist Monastic complexes like Nalanda , Vikramashila, Somapuri( now in present day Bangladesh where th town of Somapura still exists ) , Odantapuri . Jagaddala etc etc and burnt all the Buddhist books and sutras and Shastras , we have no idea how many lakhs of Buddhists in the Indian sbcontinent went like these . Bhakhtiar himself writes in his diary that he burnt 90,00,000 Buddhist Scriptures in Nalanda alone.https://www.quora.com/Has-there-ever-been-a-Buddhist-monk-disappear-through-enlightenment

  • Towards The End Subrahmanya

    Towards The End Subrahmanya

    I had the unpleasant task of visiting my elder brother , 86, who was hospitalised for a Fall.

    Unpleasant because , to see one who had been vigorous, fiercely independent and forever dynamic bedridden depending on others for basic functions.

    To see human beings dependant on others is pathetic.

    And the blind trust one has to have on others on such situations.

    One is proud, independant, does not bother others or bothers about others when one is healthy and/or young.

    When one falls sick or advances in age when one can not even command his senses, pitiable.

    People might have money, contacts.

    Yet one needs people at these times.

    One must also remember that those who assist, be it children or friends, that they have their commitments, offices/businesses to attend to, families to look after……

    As one lies helplessly, awaiting others to come to help….

    Humiliating and painful.

    Yet you can do nothing.

    If the disease is severe and chances of revival are remote, horrible!

    One can not choose his time of Death.

    What does one need towards the end of his life?

    That,

    He should not lie sick,

    He should not have self reproach and the

    End should be swift and painless.

    .நோயுற்று அடராமல் நொந்து மனம் வாடாமல் பாயிற் கிடவாமல் பாவியேன் காயத் தை ஓர் நொடிக்குள் நீக்கி என்னை ஒன் போருர் ஐயா நின் சீரடிக்கீழ் வைப்பாய் தெரிந்து’

    ‘சென்னை போரூர் பா மாலையில் தவத்திரு சிதம்பர சுவாமிகள் தி ருவாய் மலர்ந்து அருளியது.

    Addressed to Lord Subrahmanya at Porur.

    Let me be not struck by disease,

    Nor do I suffer by Self reproach,

    Ensure Lord Subrahmanya that You ensure I attain Your Feet swiftly, without pain.

    -Chidambara Swamigal, Porur Paamaalai.

  • Yama First To Walk Death, When did Cremation Begin

    The Concept of Death as personified is quiet ancient and Sanatana Dharma was the first to practice and is still practicing it.

    The Cremation of the Dead spread from Sanatana Dharma to Sumeria,and later to Greeks.

    Homer mentions thus,

    ‘Never again will I return from Hades when I have received my meed of fire”. ‘

    –Patroklos,in Homer’s Iliad.

    Patroklos, Doesn’t it resemble Pitrulok,the abode of Ancestors of Hinduism?

    Now to the issue of Creation.

    Early Sanatana Dharma  cremated in a House made of Clay.

    A Hymn on Varuna mentions this.

    The dead walked towards Paradise,it was believed in the earliest Vedic period.

    It was Yama,the God of Death was the First Man to walk towards Death.

    Later He guided the Dead to Swarg/Narak,Heaven/Hell based on one’s deeds.

    The Dead were offered to Fire God,Agni.

    He conveys what is offered in homa fire used for the ceremonies to devathas ,through the Apri Devathas to Heaven.

    ‘When the remains of the deceased have been placed on the funeral pile, and the process of cremation has commenced, Agni, the god of fire, is prayed not to scorch or consume the departed, not to tear asunder his skin or his limbs, but, after the flames have done their work, to convey to the fathers the mortal who has been presented to him as an offering. Leaving behind on earth all that is evil and imperfect, and proceeding by the paths which the fathers trod, invested with a lustre like that of the gods, it soars to the realms of eternal light in a car, or on wings, and recovers there its ancient body in a complete and glorified form; meets with the forefathers who are living in festivity with Yama; obtains from him, when recognized by him as one of his own, a delectable abode, and enters upon more perfect life, which is crowned with the fulfilment of all desires, is passed in the presence of the gods, and employed in the fulfilment of their pleasure.”

    Agni is worshiped thus in these ceremonies,

    ‘Make straight the pathways that lead to the gods; be kind to us, and carry the sacrifice for us”. 

    ‘To Yama, mighty king, be gifts and homage paid.

    He was the first of men that died, the first to brave
    Death’s rapid rushing stream, the first to point the road
    To heaven, and welcome others to that bright abode.
    Sir M. Monier Williams’ translation. 1

    Professor Macdonell gives a new rendering of a Vedic hymn  in which Yama is referred to as follows:

    Him who along the mighty heights departed,
    Him who searched and spied the path for many,
    Son of Vivasvat, gatherer of the people,
    Yama the king, with sacrifices worship.
    Rigveda, x, 14. 1.

    Yama judged men as Dharma-rajah, “King of righteousness”; he was Pitripati, “lord of the fathers”; Samavurti, “the impartial judge”; Kritana, “the finisher”; Antaka, “he who ends life”; Samana, “the leveller”,

    The path of humans is different,it was called Pitru Yana,while that of Gods was called Deva Yana.

    These two terms also refer to seasons and in some contexts refer to Geographical locations, the Pitru Yana,the South ( Lemuria?)and Deva Yana,the North(Arctic).

  • English Buried Bodies Indian Vedic Way Namasthe Posture

    There are tools to verify history.

    They are,

    Archeology,

    Astro dating,

    Contemporary writings both internal and external,

    Internal information of the relevant texts,

    Geology,

    Infra Red dating,

    Language and cultural similarities,

    Behavioral similarities and customs and

    Oral traditions.

    While the written records might be destroyed or doctored, as has been the case with India,the Oral traditions and customs are difficult to destroy or manipulate.

    I am relying on all these tools tovarrive at a conclusion and salute the Oral traditions and custom oriented life style of Indians.

    I have been able to identify linguistic and custom similarities ti trace the presence of Sanana Dharma throughout the world.

    The English buried Indian style
    Burial style India and Englang

    Customs and languages,though they may change, never lose their identity if one were to dig deep.

    The customs of Hindus are ,in some ways, unique and they transcend regions.

    Hindus have two ways of dead bodies.

    Burning and Burial.

    Bodies at Winchester cathedral ,UK.
    Buried bodies in Winchester Cathedral, England. Palms folded ,the the Hindu way.

    Set practices are followed in all the cases.

    The procedure for burning the dead body is more elaborate than burial and is more time consuming.

    Even in burying several different procedures are followed.

    In the case of children ,they are buried.

    In the case of elders,they are buried in a sitting posture.

    The Ascetics,Royalty, are buried with their palms folded in the form of greeting to wards the sky, keeping the palms folded over the chest.

    Brahmins and many communities resort to burning.

    In the case of a Sanyasi,the body is buried after breaking a Coconut on the head, while keeping the palms folded as in welcome or Thank you,Namste posture.

    Many of the Hindu customs were followed by other civilizations.

    However the custom of burying with palms folded was strictly followed by the English when the buried their Royalty and Nobles,thus reaffirming the presence and influence of Sanatana Dharma in England.

    The English buried their dead with their Palms folded in Vedic/Hindu tradition.

    ‘Statues or dead royalty and other elite in Westminster Abbey, London may be seen by the score with their palms joined in homage at death in the Vedic tradition.’

    Catastrophic English: Christianity as a Vedic Cult

  • Hinduism On Normal Supra and Para Normal

    I saw a thread in Facebook community on Ghosts, haunted houses and the topic veered around to paranormal and landed in Hinduism/Indian Philosophy.

    What does Hinduism, Sanatana Dharma say on this?

    Other religions talk of walking on water, Red Sea Parting, curing the diseased, making the dead come alive as Miracles and they are described as manifestations of God.

    Sanatana Dharma, The Epics, Ramayana, Mahabharata and the Puranas have innumerable instances which are beyond these described above.

    Virata Rupa Vishnu.gif Virata Rupa Vishnu.

    We have instances of a Rishi being born out of a vessel,(Agastya), Weapon made of the back bone of a Rishi, Dadisi’s backbone was used to create the Vajrayudha of Indra,Hanuman crossing the ocean by flying over it, three flying cities, Viswaroopa of Krishna in the Mahabharata.

    In none of these instances the term miracle is used nor were the instances considered as something unbelievable.

    The terms used were , Aascharya,(wonder) Arbhudha(wonder to behold)and utmost the term Avaktavyam(Indescribable.)

    When Indrajit was revived by the Sanjeevi Parvatha brought by Anjaneya, the term miracle is used in the sense that an impossible feat has been done.

    Another term used in these contexts is Asaadhya, that which is normally not possible, the operative word here being ‘normal’

    Reason is , for Hinduism everything is natural and normal and nothing is Para or Supra Normal and there is no miracle.

    Nothing is a Miracle for people whose Time scale extends to thousands of years ,(Read My post on Time),where there are Chiranjeevis or Immortals or where even God once born is meant to die!

    The outlook is determined by Indian Philosophy.

    Hinduism regards the whole Universe as an expression of Reality as being perceived by us.

    Perceptions may differ but the perceived remains the same.

    The Reality Brahman is a Principle, without Attributes and at the same time with Attributes depending on one’s mental make up.(Please read my Post on Hinduism on God with Forms Yes and No).

    The Reality is seen from the perspective of the Perceiver.

    Due to  ignorance we do not perceive things as they are but as what they seem to us.

    This can be seen in daily Life when things which were a cause of wonderment to us when we were children do not seem to be so when we have grown up.

    Once we know or perceive things differently the sense of wonder disappears.

    Everything is normal.

    The Jains have developed a beautiful Logical System called Sapthabanghi Naya, the Seven ways of predication or the seven ways a thing can be described.

    Please read my Post on Sapthabhangi naya.

    A thing,

    Is,exists(Asti)

    Is not, does not exist, for one who is not aware of it or not in its presence,(Nasti)

    Is indescribale, Avaktavya ( Indescribable),

    Is and Is not (Asti and Nasthi)

    A thing Is from the perspective of Onw who is aware of it and Is not from that of one who is not aware.

    Asthi and Avaktavya, A thing Is and it Is indescribable from the perspective one who does not know about It(Is and Indescribable)

    Nasthi and Avatavya-A Thing Is not and indescribable, based on similar logic.(Is Not and Indescribable)

    Asthi, Nasthi, Avattavya( Is, Is not and Indescribable)

    A thing Is , Is Not and indescribable at the same time-based on the same Logic.

    So in Hinduism Nothing is a Miracle, Para Normal or Supra Normal.

    We have Rishis and Siddhas who transcend Time and Space, assume minute forms ‘Take huge forms, enter into a dead body..

    There are eight feats on these lines.

    Read my Post.

    Depends on one’s perspective and the level of Knowledge.

    But Hinduism draws a Line.

    There is no alternative to death, once born, even if one is God!
