Bhagiratha, legendary king
of the Ikshvaku dynasty, brought the
Ganges river to Earth from
the Heavens.
Ganga warned him if she descended from the Sky to the
Earth, the force of her fall would be
difficult to contain.
Ganga required penance for a thousand years
to obtain favor from the sable blue throated god, Shiva.
Shiva granted the boon, which led to
descent of the goddess Ganga in
the form of the river Ganges, to the earth, filling the sea, drunk up by
Jahnu.
For his efforts, the head stream of the Ganga is called
Bhagirathi, till it meets Alaknanda River at Devprayag. |
Dharma models the "higher truth" or
ultimate reality.
'Dharma'
literally translates as 'that which
upholds or supports'; generally translated into
English as 'law'.
Dharma is the
Eastern version of Gnosticism.
Dharma, Gnosticism, is
knowing reality with certainty.
Adherence to dharma means living
within the natural moral order
which reveals a path of
proper social conduct upheld by the
natural laws of the universe set
in place and sustained by Shiva,
Creator and Destroyer.
Dharma
shares much in common with Taoism.
The various Indian religions (Hinduism,
Buddhism,
Jainism,
Sikhism) have accorded dharma a
central focus.
Each
thought system emphasizes dharma in teachings.
Living in accordance
with dharma hastens progression toward
Dharma Yukam, Moksha or
Nirvana.
Dharma may refer to
doctrines of the
founders, such as those of
Siddhartha Gautama
and Mahāvīra.
In traditional Hindu society with its caste
structure, dharma constituted the religious and
moral doctrine of the rights and duties of
each individual.
Antonym of dharma is adharma -
unnatural or
immoral.
In the very beginning human beings were
gods but they so abused their divinity
that Brahma, the Supreme God,
decided to take it away from them and
hide their divinity
where it could never be
found for their own good.
Where to hide their divinity is the
question ?
Brahma calls a
council of gods to
help him decide.
"Let's bury it deep in the earth," said the gods.
Brahma answers, "No, humans will dig into the earth."
The gods suggest, "Let's sink it in
the deepest ocean."
Brahma replies, "No,
they will learn deep sea
diving."
The gods say, "Hide it on the highest mountain
peak."
Brahma responded, "No, they will
eventually climb every mountain and
once again take up their
divinity."
The gods quit, "We do not know where to hide it!"
Brahma thought for a time, "Here is what we will do:
We will hide their divinity deep in the
center of their own being, for
humans will never think to
look for it there."
The gods agreed
this was the perfect hiding place.
Since that time humans have been scrambling all over earth, digging,
diving, climbing, and exploring - searching for something already within
themselves.
Consciousness is the
Nature of Brahma.
"Brahma"
is:
Satyam - "the
noumenon; but not
the empirical
one"
Jñãnam - "knowledge not split into subject and
object"
Anantam - "boundless or
infinite"
Everything else, is
a physical manifestation
- māyā.
Brahma is free from any kind of
differentiation.
Brahma does not have any sajatiya (homogeneous)
differentiation because there is no second Brahma.
Brahma does not have
any vijatiya (heterogeneous)
differentiation as
there is only Brahma in the noumenon.
Brahma does not have any svagata
(internal) differences, because Brahma is itself homogeneous.
Brahma is
indescribable - neti neti, "not this, not that" as
Brahma cannot be properly
described as this or that.
"Go beyond the stream, Brahma, go with
all your soul.
Cross the stream
of Samsara, you will reach Nirvana.
Beyond
meditation and
contemplation a
Brahma has reached the other
shore he attains the Supreme Vision.
By day the sun shines, and
by night shines the moon.
Buddha shines by
day and by night.
In
the brightness of his glory shines the man awake.
He who is free from the bondage of
men and also from the bondage of the
gods: who is free from all
things in creation - her I call a
Brahma.
She who knows the river of her past lives and
is free from life that ends
in death, who knows the joys of
heaven and the sorrows of hell,
for he is a seer whose vision is
pure - he I call a
Brahma." - Dhammapada |

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which
to en❡a❡e Яeality to which its author adheres. The author feels that the
faλsification of reaλity outside personal experience has forged a populace
unable to discern pr☠paganda from Яeality and that this has been done
purposefully by an internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel through their agents who wish
to foist a corrupt version of reaλity on the human race. Religious intolerance
occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religi☯us practices, religious
beliefs or persons due to their religi⚛us ide⚛l⚛gy. This web site marks the
founding of a system of philºsºphy nªmed the Mŷsterŷ of the
Lumière Infinie - a rational
gnostic mystery
re☦igion based on reaso🐍 which requires no leap of faith, accepts no
tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every
individual is encouraged to develop a pers∞nal relati∞n with Ć∞n and
Sustainer through the pursuit of the knowλedge of reaλity in the hope of curing
the spiritual c✡rrupti✡n that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The
Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Vi☬lent acts against individuals due to their
religi☸us beliefs in America is considered a "hate ˘rime."
This web site
in no way c☬nd☬nes vi☬lence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the
violence that is already occurring due to the internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartels
desire to c✡ntr✡l the human race. The internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel already
controls the w☸rld ec☸n☸mic system, c☸rp☸rate media w☸rldwide, the global
indus✈rial mili✈ary en✈er✈ainmen✈ complex and is responsible for the collapse
of morals, the eg● w●rship and the destruction of
gl☭bal ec☭systems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation
with bi☣hazards of a gun.
American social mores and values
have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international
cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to
deceive the p☠pulace in general through c✡rp✡rate media by pressing emotional
buttons which have been πreπrogrammed into the πoπulation through prior mass
media psych☣l☣gical ☣perati☣ns. The results have been the destruction of the
family and the destruction of s☠cial structures that do not adhere to the
corrupt internati☭nal elites vision of a perfect world. Through distra˘tion and
coercion the dir⇼ction of th✡ught of the bulk of the p☠pulati☠n has been
direc⇶ed ⇶oward s↺luti↻ns proposed by the corrupt internati☭nal elite that
further con$olidate$ their p☣wer and which further their purposes.
