 Foreword
Hearty fraternal greetings and good wishes to the
brothers and sisters who travelled from South America
and Europe to experience the presence of the East.
Travelling to the East is symbolic of travelling towards
the light of wisdom.
The depth of your aspiration is clearly visible by the
distant travel that you all have undertaken. May this
group life enable inner travel from West to East, from
muladhara to ajna, through the prayers done thrice,
through the teachings done twice and through the
group life which is continuous. Group life is fulfilled
when we see the One in each other as we look to each
other.
I express my grateful thanks to Dr. M. Gopala Krishna
Reddy, the Vice Chancellor of Andhra University,
who demonstrated friendliness of uncommon nature
in offering the Vice Chancellor’s Lodge and also the
garden for our group life.
Dr. Gopala Krishna Reddy himself is a great
aspirant of light, and a good friend that went an extra
mile to arrange the facility, wherein, there is likely
criticism. He was bold enough to tell me on phone,
“Criticism is welcome in respect of acts of goodwill.”
Criticism is common in society with respect to every
noticeable action whether of goodwill or evil. Many

vii
well-meaning persons out of fear of criticism do not
initiate acts of goodwill. Fear of social opinion must be
overcome when one is convinced of the general good.
Just goodness is not enough, one requires courage to
demonstrate that which one believes to be good. The
Vice Chancellor sets an example for many an aspirant.
He has not only the will but also the courage. Will,
courage, knowledge and silence are but the four
essential qualities of a true aspirant.
To be grateful, even for the little acts of cooperation
extended, is also a quality of a true aspirant. If we are
not thankful for what is given, we tend to be ingrates.
To be thankful and to be grateful is but a fundamental
quality that lays the foundation to a life of goodwill.
Let us commence our group life on this very healthy
and congenial note of thankfulness and gratefulness
towards the Vice Chancellor, Dr. Gopala Krishna
Reddy. His is a life of fulfilment. Let it remain so.
This university has been a mother institution for
enlightenment of young ones. The motto of this
university is “Tejaswinam Avadhitamastu”. This is
from Katha Upanishad and means, “Let there be no
hindrance to light and may learning illuminate us,
both teacher and the taught.”
This institution in which I studied for five years,
afforded me many dimensions of life, which had
a multiplier effect on my aspirations for light. To

viii
teach wisdom in the Vice Chancellor’s garden of this
institution is an added splendour to this group life.

 Introduction
In this group life it is willed that I speak of the energy
of Sun, the Solar Angel, who is the basis of our solar
system. When we think of Sun we need to think of
the very consciousness, which is the basis of our solar
system. Each one of us is but a unit of consciousness.
Each one of us is a micro Sun. The other name for
this consciousness is ‘I Am’. When we speak of Sun
we speak of I Am consciousness. In other words we are
speaking of ourselves. The self in you and in me is no
different from the self of the Solar Angel. It is but the
same consciousness manifested in different dimensions
and magnitudes. The essence of the Sun and us is but
one and the same. We are no different from our Sun.
Let us learn to see the Sun as no different from I
Am. The Veda says, “The Sun I see and I Am are but
one.”
A study and comprehension of the Sun causes
the related adjustments to one’s consciousness and
concurrently results in self-realisation.
Many are the discoveries of the seers of wisdom about
the hidden secrets of the Sun God. It is impossible for
one to describe and divulge their significance through a
teaching such as this. Man attempting to interpret the
wisdom of Sun through teachings, is like the part trying
to interpret the whole. Part is but a part. It is carved

11
12 

out of the whole and it carries essentially the whole. In

its comprehending the whole it gets absorbed into the
whole. Efforts of comprehension and interpretation
are but fragments of it. Hence the old dictum that a
part can never comprehend the whole.
Let the sincere student carefully meditate upon the
given concepts and dwell in them through his intuition
rather than intellect, for, it is realization he seeks after
and not only knowledge. Remember, essentially we are
seekers of Truth. Knowledge is the means.
 Chapter 1
Orientation to Sun God
Believers all around the globe worship God through
many names and many forms. There are multitudes of
names and forms attributed to that energy called God.
In recent times, there are many religions, cults and
sects that throw out thousands of concepts to benefit
the seeker to find the Truth, whose other name is the
God. All these practices are secondary practices. While
concepts help, they also cause the related blindness.
A concept hides the very truth which it intends
explaining and revealing. There are too many
theologies, ideologies, schools of thought the aspirants
keep toying with like kids. What is obvious, visible
and clear is clouded by mystical concepts which make
Truth seeking much more complicated than what it is.
In the plethora of concepts, the seeker drowns himself.
Consequently he denies a simple clean vision. He gets
shrouded by his own thoughts of grey mysticism.
Many of the seekers in their hunt for the mystical
Truth overlook the Truth itself. How many seekers
really orient to the Sun God, the deity of the sky, and
contemplate upon the mystery relating to him always

13
14 Chapter 1

remains a question. When there is a visible God in

the firmament, a visible Truth, why should the seekers
substitute that with lesser truth, lesser concepts and
lesser forms of God?
Seekers contemplate on colours, chant mantras
and meditate upon symbols, while there is the daily
presence of the symbol, the colour and the form of
God available in the sky namely the Sun God.
Sun presents himself as a circle, with colours such as
brilliant white, golden yellow, orange, etc., relative to
Earth. He is the very basis of life. He is the foundation
for the solar system. In us too, he is the foundation as
I Am. Worshipping the Sun can be traced through the
entire recorded history of humans. Sun worship was
picked up to regain the lost brilliance of consciousness.
Sun worship was also found to be helpful in gaining
vitality of life and to hold vibrant life – a life that resists
disease, decay and death. Worship of Sun and stars
was gradually replaced by worship of forms and other
symbols. Behind all forms of worship, the solar energy
stands out as the background.
There are today fewer temples of Sun while there
are many relating to others. The worshippers on the
planet have digressed from the bull’s eye and are on
the circles around it, which do not hit the Truth. The
central theme among the esoteric writings has always
 Orientation to Sun God 15

been the practices relating to the realization of the Sun

energy in oneself and in one’s surroundings.
In appreciation of basic Truth, the solar path need
not be over-emphasized. This book is but a humble
effort to reorient the seekers to the very foundation of
the system which is human and solar.
16 Chapter 1

Missing Sun
In many themes, cultures and theologies, one finds the
story of the missing Sun, his exile, his imprisonment and
his death. The common story behind the missing Sun
is man’s self-forgetfulness. Man lives by the substituted
truth. Due to separated identity, he recognizes himself
by his name, form, gender, race, nationality, language
etc. He forgets that, essentially, he is a unit of pulsating
consciousness and that his name is ‘I Am’.
Men live by their personalities, but do not live as
souls that they are, which is represented by the stories
of the missing Sun.
Likewise, the stories of imprisonment of Sun relate
to the souls in bondage. The human souls are bounded
by the matter. Lack of knowledge of relating to nature
attracts and binds the soul.
Man entangles himself and gets bound by
inappropriately relating to nature, when the knowledge
of relating disappears. The act of relating unwittingly
develops the bondage. When one relates to nature he
should hold this truth in conscience and relate. This
is what is called working with gloves. As one works
in fields the hands remain clean in-spite of the hands
indulging in matter, when gloves are held. Similarly a
part of him consciously should stand detached while a
part is involved in the material world. For this the seers
 Missing Sun 17

have given a concept as a facility, “Imagine a tree of life.

Further imagine that on the branch of the tree a bird
exists. Within the bird there is yet another bird. The
outer bird rejoices eating the fruits of the tree, while
the inner bird rejoices witnessing the joy of the outer.”
The inner and the outer bird are but one in two.
Likewise man can also develop an inner man and
remain a witness to the actions of the outer man. The
outer man is like the glove of the hand while the inner
man is the hand as such.
Lack of knowhow tended man to unconsciously
relate with nature and get bound. Thus humans
have become prisoners of the planet, while they were
supposed to be pilgrims on the planet. Thus man’s
identity shifted from being an immortal soul to that
of a mortal human. Consequently he believes in death
and the related fear.
18 Chapter 1

The Sun Festivals

Apparent Movement of Sun in the Sky
In relation to Earth, the Sun in the sky seems to be
moving around and moving sideways from North to
South and South to North in a solar year.
The Sun apparently moves around the zodiac,
while it is the Earth that actually moves around the
Sun. This apparent movement in relation to Earth was
utilized by seers to unleash vistas of wisdom.
Sun seemingly travels from the Tropic of Cancer to
the Tropic of Capricorn in a southward direction from
June to December. Again from Tropic of Capricorn,
he travels northwards towards the Tropic of Cancer
from December to June.
The apparent descent of the Sun is related to
involution and the apparent ascent is related to the
evolution of the beings on Earth.
In his northern and southern journeys, he cuts
across equator twice in a solar year while he ascends
and descends. The periods of northernmost point
during ascent, the southernmost point during descent
and the two cuts across the equator were all celebrated
as festivals in all ancient theologies. Even today the
celebrations do happen in their distorted versions. An
aspirant shall do well to relate to the original import
of the festivals and relate to the four cardinal aspects of
 The Sun Festivals 19

apparent movement of Sun. These four cardinal points

are the Summer Solstice (21st-22nd June), the Winter
Solstice (22nd-23rd December), the Spring Equinox
(20th-21st March) and the Autumn Equinox (22nd-23rd
September).

The Four Cardinal Points

In a solar year the four cardinal points are of great
importance. They represent the fourfold aspect of
creation. That the creation is fourfold is a cardinal key.
They are represented by the four states of existence,
namely:
• Pure existence
• Existence-awareness
• Existence, awareness and thought
• Existence, awareness, thought and action
20 Chapter 1

These four aspects of Existence are represented by

the four cardinal points of the solar year namely the
two solstices and the two equinoxes. The equinoxes
enable one to experience the yogic state, wherein spirit
and matter are balanced. The summer solstice enables
experiencing the optimum light. The winter solstice
enables death and resurrection. The play of spirit and
matter in a solar year is interesting to note. When the
spirit dominates there is increasing light and when the
matter dominates there is decreasing light. From winter
solstice to summer solstice the spirit dominates
resulting in increasing light, this is called the Divine
Arc, from Capricorn to Cancer. From Cancer, there is
once again growth of matter enveloping spirit by which
decreasing light is experienced to its apparent obscurity.
This part of the solar year from Cancer to Capricorn is
called the Royal Arc. The beings go through these two
arches of the circle experiencing light and darkness. In
this cyclical play of spirit and matter (light and
darkness), there are two points of time where spirit and
matter stand balanced. These are the times when Sun
apparently cuts across the equator. The related days are
noted as equinoxes. On these days there is neither
domination of spirit nor of matter, pure consciousness
is experienced blissfully. The four festivals of cardinal
points enable the humans to experience the four
dimensions of light.
 The Sun Festivals 21

In man the story of interplay of spirit and matter

can be related to the apparent upward and downward
movement of Sun, thereby experiencing the fields of
light, the events of death and resurrection and the
eternal balanced state of a yogi.
The knowers at all times relate to the four cardinal
days of the solar year and direct their followers to
implicitly follow the equinoxes and the solstices. The
equinoxes and solstices constitute the four cardinal
points of the year, dividing the year into four quarters
of 90 days with one or two cusp days.
In recent times the Aquarian Master, namely Master
CVV, re-emphasized the rituals of the four festivals
through related alignments and meditations. It is but
necessary for a student of light to attune to the solstices
and equinoxes through meditation upon the solar light
in the related centres.
22 Chapter 1

The Pyramids
Sun temples and pyramids were built in ancient times
to orient to the apparent movement of the Sun and
the four festivals. The ancients noticed the northern
most point from which Sun returns in the month of
Cancer, and marked that point on the land. Similarly
they noticed the southernmost point and marked
that point too. With these two points of Cancer and
Capricorn marked by the morning sunrays, a square
was drawn and a pyramid was built with 91 steps.
When such a pyramid is built, invariably on the day
of summer solstice at the dawn hours, the rays touch
the related corner and during the dusk touch the
diagonally opposite corner. Similarly during winter
solstice, the other two diagonally opposite corners are
touched by the sunrays. On the equinox days during
the dawn, the eastern staircase gets lightened. And
during the dusk hour the western staircase gets lighted.
The 90 gradation of steps in the pyramidal form,
when lighted on the festive days, looked like a shining
snake appearing for a while in the dawn and the dusk
hours, which was worshipped during its duration of
appearance. Rituals were conducted at the top of the
pyramid during the day and during the night. On the
four festive days pilgrims used to visit in large numbers
to experience the characteristic of each cardinal day,
 The Pyramids 23

establish it in them. The temple is invariably visited

four times in a year to establish in oneself the impact
of the characteristics of the four cardinal days. In each
quarter of 90 days, the nature and characteristic of
the related zodiacal sign is assimilated into their daily
routine. During the forenoon hours the pyramid was
ascended by the East and descended by the West.
During the afternoon hours the pyramid was ascended
by the West and descended by the East. For specific
rituals relating to death and immortality the southern
steps were ascended. The very path leading to pyramids
was from south to north, it was called ‘the path of death
and immortality’. To the right of such path there were
smaller pyramids dedicated to Venus (who regarded
as the teacher of death and immortality), Mercury
and Moon. Cluster of pyramids constituted a city of
pyramids. The glory of life was weaved around the
pyramids. Even today in the city of Mexico, as well
as ‘El Tajin’ of Columbia, one finds these pyramids
that remind the visitors the knowledge of the past.
Pyramids existed not only in South America but also
in other parts of the globe. Today people mostly speak
of the pyramids of Egypt and pyramids of Mexico.
But wherever the knowledge of the solar year and the
Sun prevailed, pyramids were there. Such pyramids
were there in Europe as well, though not known yet.
24 Chapter 1

Varieties of initiations were conceived with varied

rituals conducted in or on a pyramid.
Every pyramid has the principle of the cardinal
cross, the right angle of 90 degrees, the Sun’s numerical
potency of 7 and Moon’s numerical potency of 13. In
Mayan culture apart from the solar year, the year of
Venus was also respected. The Venusian year consisted
of 226 days. The year of Venus was utilized for
unfolding the secrets of death by the ritualists. The
rituals relating to Venus were all associated with the
key number 18.
Many are the secrets of sun temples and pyramids
which are lost when man digressed from Sun worship
to other lesser forms of worship.
Man himself is a pyramid with the 4 cardinal points
in him at sahasrara (head centre), ajna (brow centre),
anahata (heart centre) and muladhara (base centre).
The four centres can be related to the four directions
in the following way - sahasrara with North, ajna with
East, anahata with South and muladhara with West.
The movement of Sun in a solar year can be traced
with the help of the science of astrology in the column
of sushumna from sahasrara to muladhara.
The whole human body with 12 sun signs can be
seen as the sun temple, in which the solar energy moves
upwards and downwards as per human awareness.
 The Pyramids 25

When the human relates to Sun and coordinates his

activity with that of the Sun, he transforms himself into
a Solar God on Earth. In truth, he is no different from
the Sun, he realizes thus. In ancient times the foremost
worship was recognized as Sun worship. Such worship
was meant to align with the Sun. By such alignment
one gets straightaway enlightened. The will, the love
and the light express at their optimum when such an
arrangement happens.
The wisdom of pyramids is not our theme. It
demands yet another teaching. Since the pyramids are
inextricably linked with the apparent movement of
Sun around Earth, it is inevitable to draw the attention
of the listeners to the significance of pyramids.
26 Chapter 1

Sun Worship
The divine will, love and activity are but the triple
qualities of the solar energy. Worshipping Sun enables
one to refill oneself with the three qualities. As much
as one is able to receive these three qualities, so much
he is enabled to perform and get fulfilled.
The twilight hours as also the mid-noon and
midnight hours were perceived as advisable times for
worship, since they constitute the four cardinal points of
the day. Similarly in the monthly cycles, the new moon,
the full moon, the eighth ascending and descending
moon phases are also considered propitious. They
are relatable to the equinoxes and solstices. The solar
energy is the soul energy. As much as the individual
soul is reinforced from the universal soul, via the Sun,
so much the individual soul fulfils its plan on Earth
through the mediumship of the personality.
The prayers enable infusing the personality with the
soul energy, so that, there is desirable cooperation and
coordination between the soul and personality of an
individual. In fact the difficulty and the inability of
a student to worship daily at the desired times is due
to non-cooperative personality. When prayers are done
without attuning to these cardinal points of the day the
reception of light into oneself cannot be adequate. When
the receptor is not in tune with the transmitter there is
 Sun Worship 27

failure of reception. Many find the prayers ineffective

due to this reason. But when prayers become the top
priority of life, when enlightening oneself becomes the
primary urge, the twilight hours, the meridian and
even the nadir (midnight) gain paramount importance
in a student’s life. Due to non-attunement, thoughts
received are not in tune with the plan. When thoughts
are out of tune the speeches and actions also tend to be
out of tune. The distortions that happen digress one
from light leading him to a life of fate. One continues
to be spinning much karma around oneself until one
learns to realign with the soul through the help of
guides and teachers.
All occult practices are meant for evolution of soul
and in so far as the dominance of personality prevails
over the soul, the evolution gets suspended.
The spirallic movement is reduced to a cyclical
movement and thereby soul gets imprisoned. Worship
is always seen as a means to enforce the soul, so that it
gradually reigns over personality. Vibrant worship is the
need of the hour for humans to move forward. Worship
enables reception of noble thoughts, thoughts of service
to surrounding life and that would enable moulding
personality when translated into action. The direct
import of worship can tangibly be seen as improved
expression in speeches and actions.
28 Chapter 1

When one worships the solar energy (the soul energy)

one is worshipping cosmic will, love, knowledge and
activity. The related alignment with the solar energy
happens with such worship and there will be an influx
of will, love and light. The ancients knew the time of
worship. They also knew the sound, the colour, and
the number key relating to the Sun.
 Emergence of Sun 29

Emergence of Sun
Each one of us utter ‘I Am’, when we refer to
ourselves. The name of the self is ‘I Am’. There is no
other name. When we suffix to ‘I Am’ any other name
it is but a worldly facility. I am Kumar, is a facility, but
the truth is ‘I Am’. He is ‘Jesus Diaz’, it is a facility, but
his true name is also ‘I Am’.
So it is with every other form of consciousness.
‘I Am’ exists with different forms and different names.
We see names and forms and forget the basis of such
forms and names. “She is Maria,” we say. But the truth
is ‘I Am’ formed into a female person and is named as
Maria. Similarly there are animals, trees and minerals.
‘I Am’ is surrounded by the triangular qualities
namely – will, knowledge and activity. From out of
these three qualities emerge further the five senses, the
five sensations, the five elements and the fivefold body.
When such layers happen with ‘I Am’ as background,
it is but normal that the background gets obscured and
the layers become predominant.
For example look at a lady’s handkerchief, it has
a shape with colourful pictures painted on it and
with lacing around. We are attracted more to the
embroidery, to the colourful figures and tend to
perceive the handkerchief more than the cloth. And we
30 Chapter 1

almost do not recollect the cotton which is the basis for

the cloth. The very foundation for the handkerchief is
in the cotton, the rest is but a built-up. Likewise in the
human, the consciousness that he is, enters into the
field of nature which is eightfold (threefold qualities
and the fivefold elements).
The formations happen on account of the
modifications done by nature and further each
formation is named. In the world of name and form
that we are in, we forget the original and live by the
substituted truth.
For example we say we are at the Bay of Bengal. The
Europeans say that they are at the Mediterranean Sea
or the Atlantian Sea or the Northern Sea and so on. We
cognize many seas by the names we give. Essentially it is
one seawater on the globe. In our minds there are many
seas due to the names that we give. Seawater is seawater
everywhere. There cannot be a demarcation of waters.
We cannot demarcate Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean,
Atlantic Ocean and other oceans. These demarcations
are for facility. They do not exist with the waters of the
sea. Form itself is a great illusion that divides the One
as many. Naming the form we get further trapped into
substituted truths.
We see Argentinian, Spanish, Belgian, German,
Austrian, Danish, Swiss and Indian citizens in this
group. We say that it is an international group, an
 Emergence of Sun 31

aggregate of different nationals. But behind this there

is a common factor. We are a group of humans. To
see human first, to see the gender next, to see the
nationalities later is an occult way of seeing. When we
tend to see what is common between all of us, we see
the pulsating consciousness which is the self. This is
the only common factor. The play of qualities in us is
different. The perceptions of the mind and the senses
are different. Our tendencies are different. Our forms
are different. They are varied and many. In this variety
to perceive that which is common, enables us to walk
towards the truth of the self.
The self is a pulsating unit of consciousness. This is
the common ground where we find the self, ‘I Am’
consciousness. This can be presented pictorially as
under:
32 Chapter 1

The soul represented by a circle with a centre

point permeates into the three qualities and fivefold
form of senses, sense organs, sensations, elements and
pulsations. The soul is the ninth one. It is surrounded
by eight layers - five gradations of matter and three
qualities. When one gazes the soul beyond the layers
of nature, one sees the Sun in the other. When one
gazes within transcending the eight layers of nature,
one sees the Sun within. That the Sun and the self are
no different is realized through inner contemplations
and outer gazing.
Learning to know Sun is learning to know our
essential base, the Self. The Self itself is but a projection
from the Absolute, called Brahman. From Brahman
to Sun, Self to personality, personality to form is a
successive formation. Broadly speaking, retracing
oneself from one’s own projection of personality into
the very source is the path of return. This path of
return is also called the ‘Path to the Light’ or ‘Path to
the Truth’.
We are uttered forth from one light or one
consciousness as many units. So is the Sun. The Sun is
also uttered forth. The true consciousness from whom
the Sun emerged is the basis for our emergence also,
though we came through Sun. The source of all that
is, is ‘pure consciousness’ and the ‘pure consciousness’
 Emergence of Sun 33

itself is an emergence from Pure Existence, which is

called God Absolute or Parabrahman.
That Absolute God is unspeakable, indefinable,
indescribable and incomprehensible. Naught may be
said of Him. It is from Him there is the emergence
of impulse. This impulse through time expresses as
consciousness in a phased manner. This consciousness
is called the light.
There are many processes through which this light
happens from the Absolute. It is a topic by itself.
According to masters of wisdom, there are thirteen
preceding steps, to the light which we call the light of
consciousness. This light of consciousness should not
be seen already as the sunlight. From the universal light
to the sunlight, there are again gradations.
Suffice to say that the consciousness itself is an
emergence from the Absolute and it is from this
consciousness there is a phased development of cosmic,
solar and planetary systems.
Madame H.P. Blavatsky speaks of this in Secret
Doctrine as, “The second springs from the first and
develops the third.” The first refers to Absolute
Existence. The second refers to emergence of
consciousness and the third refers to development of
creation, which is the work of the pure consciousness.
The creation is but the utterance of this consciousness
and the consciousness as such is an utterance from the
34 Chapter 1

Absolute. The spring-up of consciousness is due to

the utterance (spur, impulse) which is called the ‘The
Word’ in the scriptures. Due to this spur there is the
emergence of consciousness and from it the emergence
of creation in successive gradations.
The Holy Bible says, “In the beginning there was
‘The Word’, ‘The Word’ was with God and ‘The Word’
was God.” In the Eastern scriptures, ‘The Word’ is
called the emerging impulse (Pranava) from the
Absolute.

Understanding of ‘The Word’ and its work is but

understanding of the creational process, the creational
continuity and its conclusion.
• These three parts of ‘The Word’ are expressed
by the seers as A U M.
• The three syllables in this word represent
the commencement, the continuity and
 Emergence of Sun 35

the conclusion. AUM is thus regarded as

‘The Word’ in the Veda.
• The seers further say that AUM is not
yet concluded. It has commenced and is
continuing. Therefore two parts of ‘The Word’
are at work while the third is not. When AUM
concludes the creation concludes into the very
source from which it came through.
• The Sun that we know is thus an uttered-forth
being of illumination. It is uttered forth from
the solar centre.
• According to wisdom 12 solar systems emerge
from a solar centre. The solar centre is called
Savitru (central Sun). The Sun we know is but
a member of a group of 12 Suns.
• Our Sun is called Surya. He has a name in
the Vedas as Vivaswata. Vivaswata means the
weaver. The Sun weaves the solar system of
7 chief planets, with himself as the centre.
It is his family. There are many other minor
planetary bodies within the solar system.
• Master Djwhal Khul says that there are as
many as 72 minor and major members in
our solar system, while chiefly 7 are counted.
The Sun weaved them with the help of the
consciousness that is transmitted to him, of
which in reality he is made up of.
36 Chapter 1

When we speak of our Sun, we are speaking of

our father; since he is the father of our system. But he
himself is uttered forth from his father, whom we call
the Savitru, the solar centre. But the Savitru itself is
uttered forth from his father represented by the cosmic
centre, Bhargo Deva. And this cosmic centre is the
birth of a centre in Cosmic Consciousness.
The Cosmic Consciousness gives birth to many
such centres. Therefore the Veda says that there can
be innumerable creations in the space of Cosmic
Consciousness. To recapitulate, there is the absolute
passive state from which an impulse springs. From that
impulse the Cosmic Consciousness happens, which is
a dynamic space upon the background of passive space.
From this Cosmic Consciousness a centre emerges as
cosmic centre. The cosmic centre develops 12 centres
that constitute 12 central Suns. Each central Sun
develops 12 solar systems. Thus all the scriptures speak
of 144 solar systems under a cosmic Sun centre. Our
Sun is but a centre of one solar system. We are his
products on Earth. Such is the chain of solar descent.
Thus there is a fourfold existence:
1. Cosmic Consciousness
2. Cosmic Sun Centre
3. Solar Sun Centre
4. Planetary Sun Centre
 Emergence of Sun 37

The very triangle is but upon the background of

white paper which should be visualized as Cosmic
Consciousness, which is the background. It is generally
known as the background awareness.
According to Vedic understanding, “That which we
know and we see is the great grandson.” He received
the threefold light from his father, Savitru (solar
centre). The latter received from his father namely
the Bhargo Deva or Aditya (cosmic centre/sun). The
Aditya himself received from his father, i.e. the Cosmic
Consciousness, Aditi. This fourfold manifestation is
given out in Vedas as under:
“He got it from his father, He got it from his father and
He got it from his father.”
In the 4th state we have the visible Sun. The three
others are invisible, but as we understand our Sun in
his ascent, we understand the three invisibles also.
Since we are a representation of the Sun, in us also
there are three invisible Suns.
38 Chapter 1

Nature of Sun
Birth of a Sun is the birth of a centre. The birth of a
centre is like our daily awakening. Where from have we
awakened? As if from nowhere we wake up. No one can
say, from where one has awakened. It is an awakening
from the background, which is unknown to us. As we
awaken, the background itself functions through our
awakening. Meditating upon the background of our
awakening is true meditation. It takes long years for
oneself to realise that we are awakened.
“We are awakened, we have not awakened.”
Awakening happens and motors the will, the
knowledge and the activity, with us (with the self )
as the centre. Thus there is background awareness,
an awakening and a triangular functioning of will,
knowledge and activity, until we slip once again into
the background. The triangular activity conducts
itself, with the ‘I Am’ as centre. Each one of us, as a
unit of ‘I Am’, is conducted by the triangular forces of
awareness. But each one of us lives in the illusion that
one is conducting the activity. Little we realise that the
activity is conducted through us.
Similar is the situation with the Sun. The Sun is the
centre through which the plan of creation works out
itself. Sun is a ‘being’ like us. The beings cannot fancy
that they are the doers.
 Nature of Sun 39

Even before we came to ‘be’, there is already

background awareness with its triple nature. As long
as the beings understand this and remain neutral, they
can experience and even enjoy the plan. The knowers,
staying neutral, observe the working of the plan
through them and through the surroundings. They
extol the beauty and the intricacies of the plan.
Ability to observe is the fundamental step to
knowledge. Be an observer, be a witness and be an
onlooker of the activity within you and surrounding
you. This ability ‘to be’ enables one to experience the
activity of the background consciousness.
Humans, falling into illusion of doing, lose their
ability to witness and to observe. Humans are beings
and they should learn ‘to be’. They cannot be lost to the
illusion of doing. Yoga practice is but ‘to be’, ‘to witness’
and ‘to experience’, while one is engaged in action.
Action happens through oneself. This knowledge of
happening should necessarily be gained to stay away
from the wheel of action and its results. Stay away
from the wheel of activity even when such activity is
happening through you. Lord Krishna recommends
this in Bhagavad Gita and says,
Karmani akarma yah pasyeda
Akarmani cha karmayaha
Sa buddhiman manushyeshu
Sa yuktaha krutsna karmatrut
40 Chapter 1

It means, “Whosoever perceives inaction in action

and action in inaction is the knower. He is the yogi that
enables the plan.”
The activity within the Sun and the activity within
us is essentially threefold. Namely – the will to do,
the knowledge to do and doing. This triangular force
runs throughout a Sun’s life, as also one’s life. This can
be realized when we realize that we are just a centre
for the plan to express. As self, one should know that
he is a centre to enable the plan to express with its
triangular force. According to Master CVV all are
centres or mediums for the plan to express itself. As
much as the plan expresses through a centre (self ), so
much the centre is fulfilled. It is therefore necessary
that we stay oriented to the higher centre and let the
plan flow through us. This becomes possible when we
stay put, when we tend to be.
The birth of a centre also gives birth to its
circumference. Every activity has its permeation up
to a point. Each one of us has one’s circumference of
activity and influence. So has the Sun. The moment
there is a centre, there is also the circumference around
it. Every birth of a centre of consciousness has its sphere
of conscious activity. A villager may have his sphere of
activity influencing the village, if he happens to be a
village head. Likewise the head of a city has his sphere.
 Nature of Sun 41

Similarly the state head and the national head also have
their spheres of activities into which they permeate.
A louse in the hair has its own field of activity. A
man has his own. The planets are also ‘beings’ and
they have their own spheres of influence. So is the Sun,
whose field of influence is his solar system.
Every being is but a centre with a circumference of
activity. “Every being is a memory and its circumference
is its memorandum,” says a Master. Every point of
consciousness has its circumference around it.
Symbolically speaking this understanding is presented
by a centre with a circumference.

In the science of astrology, Sun is symbolized by

a centre, surrounded by the circumference. It is the
symbol of a unit of consciousness. In occultism one
is required to regularly meditate upon this symbol. It
enables us to recollect that each one of us is a unit of
consciousness with a defined field of activity and that
we as units of consciousness are but projections from
the background consciousness.
42 Chapter 1

As we make a symbol of a circumference with a

centre, normally we see the two while there are three in
it. The very centre and the circumference are upon the
background. The background is generally forgotten. The
projected centre and its activity are only seen. Without
the background of a blackboard, a paper, or a slate,
the symbol cannot be made. Without the background
consciousness functioning in us, we cannot make
the symbol from time to time. The symbol emerges
as a unit of consciousness upon the background. The
symbol is no different from us. Thus the Sun symbol
gives us the message that Sun shines forth in the solar
system on the background of central Sun and that he
has his ring-pass-not as the solar system. This principle
is equally true with an atom, with a person, with a
planet and with all systems such as planetary, solar and
cosmic. The way to relate to the background is through
the centre. The centre is seen in Vedic understanding
more as an aperture than a localized point. Through
this aperture the plan descends from the higher circles
and conducts with the aid of the triangular force. All
this becomes possible when the centre does not totter
and stays firmly oriented to the background.
The Sun is but a projection. We too are projections
of the one universal consciousness. Therefore we need
to meditate daily upon that background consciousness
from which we emerge as a self. But in meditation
 Nature of Sun 43

we generally slip into the details of our activity. Our

activity predominantly figures in our meditation. It
engulfs us and we get submerged in it. But without
a centre there is no related activity. The activity is
dependent upon the centre. The centre is dependent
upon the background. Therefore the meditation has to
be a practice of aligning with one’s own background
through one’s own centre.
The name of the centre of consciousness is ‘I Am’.
The name of the background is ‘That’. Background
projects as the centre. ‘That’ projects as ‘I Am’. The
meditation therefore is aligning ‘I Am’ with ‘That’ and
experiencing ‘That I Am’. ‘That I Am’ is the means
for realization. Verily ‘That’ exists as ‘I Am’, and verily
‘That’ conducts the plan of work through ‘I Am’.
44 Chapter 1

Utterance and Utterer

Our Sun is an uttered forth being. He in turn utters
forth the solar system.
The utterance that was uttered forth by the Sun is
beyond the Sun. Utterance utters forth its medium and
proceeds to utter forth further through the medium.
This requires to be understood. For example, a teacher
prepares a student through the teaching, and later works
through the student. A father prepares the son with
tender care and later works through the son. The plan
prepares its successive centres and expresses itself. A tree
prepares its own seeds and lives successively. Likewise,
the universal consciousness prepares successive centres
and accomplishes a grand plan to fulfil beings that
traverse through various planes.
‘That’ prepares ‘I Am’ and expresses through ‘I
Am’. The Vedas call ‘That’ as Brahman and ‘I Am’
as Atman. Brahman and Atman should be distinctly
understood. The two terms are gullibly used even by
scholars and the like. Utterance and utterer are but
necessary for further flow of utterance.
‘The Word’ needs a vehicle to flow out. This mike
which we use to speak enables amplification of my
voice, while my voice itself is uttered forth through my
throat. Throat utters forth with the help of exhalation.
Exhalation itself is based upon inhalation and
 Utterance and Utterer 45

respiration. Respiration again is based upon pulsation.

Pulsation is based upon ‘me’ the ‘I Am’. ‘I Am’ is again
based upon ‘That’. Everything proceeds from ‘That’.
The rest are vehicles or mediums.
‘That’ functions through ‘I Am’. ‘I Am’ is the
visible functionary. So is the Sun of our solar system.
He is the visible functionary and he himself is based
upon the higher principles which uttered him forth. As
said earlier the Sun we see has two preceding centres,
namely the central Sun and cosmic Sun. These three
Suns are called in the Veda as Aditya, Savitru and
Surya. They are called in Chaldean and Assyrian
theologies as OM, SOL and AN. These three terms are
jumbled to bring out the word ‘SOL OM AN’. ‘SOL
OM AN’ is a mythical expression of the threefold Sun,
is no different from the Islamic version of Sulayman.
46 Chapter 1

In the human being there are three centres relating

to the three suns. They are the heart, the ajna and the
sahasrara. When these three centres fall into alignment,
one is said to have formed the Solomon’s Temple in
oneself. When the Solomon’s Temple is formed, the
Divine Plan can be worked out upon Earth. The
utterance which is beyond, finds its expression through
the three Suns. The other name for this utterance is
‘The Word’ or the God. That is why it is said that ‘The
Word’ was God, and it is uttered forth through cosmic,
solar and planetary systems.
When one utters forth, it is but necessary to observe
that which is uttering itself out. The utterer is but an
instrument through which the utterance happens.
Even the creator utters forth, but the truth is that
the utterance utters forth the creator and through the
creator again the utterance utters forth. The utterance
itself prepares the utterer and permeates further. It is
true with the creator and it is equally true with us and
with every other unit of consciousness.
The seers of ancient times contemplated upon that
background from which everything issues forth. They
tried to find out what it could be. With the help of
their localised consciousness, they tried to approach the
source of their consciousness. As they approached the
source, their localised consciousness ceased to be. It is
like the wave trying to know the ocean, approached the
 Utterance and Utterer 47

ocean and merged itself. When localised consciousness

merges in the oceanic consciousness, the former ceases
to be, the observer ceases to be, the inquirer ceases
to be. Hence it was not found possible to know how
it is, before one’s own conscious existence. For this
reason, all world scriptures uniformly claim that ‘It’
is unspeakable, unthinkable, incomprehensible and
naught. At the same time it is not ‘nothing’. If it is
nothing, something cannot come out of it. Therefore
it is said to be ‘seeming nothingness’.
As one touches the realm of this, one ceases to be.
Thus the creator, who is a created being, is seen as
the secondary state, while the basis of the creator and
his creation is seen as the primary state. The primary
state is given the numerical potency of 0 (zero), which
indicates a state that is seemingly nil, but truly full. In
Sanskrit we have two different terms for nilness and
fullness. Nilness is called ‘Soonyam’, fullness is called
‘Poornam’. Both of them are symbolized as 0. What
emerges from 0, is given numerical potency 1 (one).
The story of the wisdom is the story of 0 and 1. It is
also the story of 10.
When we see the Sun, we see the visible dimension
of the invisible. The invisible functions through the
visible. Hence when we learn about Sun, we learn
the invisible through the visible. We experience the
invisible through the visible. Trying to experience the
48 Chapter 1

invisible directly is difficult. Experiencing the invisible

through visible is easier. The visible is a facility through
which the invisible can be experienced.
Electricity is invisible. We see electricity through
sound amplification, illumination, movement of
machines and so on. We cannot experience electricity
directly. When we look for a direct experience we cease
to be.
There was a villager in India, who came to a town.
He saw lights without fuel. He saw fans moving on
their own. He saw images in television. He listened to
sounds and songs through radio. It was a wonder to
him. He asked the relatives about the science behind
each and every one of the appliances. They said it is
electricity. For every question he asked the answer was
electricity. He was enchanted by electricity. He asked
one of his relatives in whose house he was, “What
exactly is electricity?” The relative said it is omnipresent
and is not visible. If one wants to experience, the
experiencer gets absorbed and ceases to be. The villager
was enthusiastic. He insisted upon his relative that he
may be given a glimpse of the experience of electricity.
The relative brought the villager to a plug point and
suggested him to put two fingers in the two holes of
the socket. The villager received a shock and fainted for
a while. He regained his consciousness and enquired as
to what happened to him. The relative said that he had
 Utterance and Utterer 49

the touch of electricity and therefore ceased to be for a

while. The villager was jubilant that he could experience
the invisible electricity through a visible socket, at the
same time he never sought a second experience.
So is the Truth. When you touch upon the Truth,
it would be like touching an electric wire. It would
be as shocking as the electric shock, one loses oneself
for a while but returns electrified. One does not get
electrocuted provided one’s approach is in due and
ancient form and not a hasty, inquisitive experiment.
It appears, if one is lucky, one will recover experiencing
the glimpse of the Truth. After the touch of the Truth,
one is not the same.
So let us learn the substituted truth, namely the
Sun, who is but a representation of the original. The
original is too shocking. The substitute is a facility
to understand the original. Wisdom always leads us
through the substitute to the original.
50 Chapter 1

Cosmic Sun
Every awakening gives birth to a centre and its field
of activity. Before that awakening Naught exists. The
field of activity is spherical with a centre in it. To give
an example, when a little lamp is lit in a dark open
place, the light of the lamp illumines all around up to
a distance. The rays of light permeate from the lamp
like a globe. In that field of light, activity can be carried
out. Before such lamp is lit, there is space unbound
and limitless. But when lamp is lit, the space around
it takes to a global (spherical) form and tends to be
active.
The seers perceived an active space of globe in a
limitless and boundless space. The space globe which
is called the ‘cosmic egg’ in the scriptures is but the birth
of a space globe with a centre to it. The centre is called
the cosmic Sun. The globe around him is called the
cosmic globe or egg or field of activity. The cosmic
field of activity that runs in the shape of a globe is
the memorandum for the memory of cosmic Sun. The
cosmic Sun’s activity permeates all over the cosmos.
Similarly there is the birth of a solar centre and a
solar egg within the cosmos and a planetary centre and
the planetary egg within the solar sphere.
 Chapter 2
Form and Name
The created world has a form and name. It is subtle
and gross. The subtle also further details itself into
causal and subtle. There is a causal world of diamond
light, a subtle world of golden light and a gross world
of mundane light. All that is created has a form and
a name. As the creation emerged forms and names
concurrently emerged. When there is no form, there
cannot be a name. The un-manifest thus neither has
a form nor a name. For facility, we humans, call it as
God. In different languages and in different places this
un-manifest energy is called by different names. We
the humans are stuck with the multitudes of names
and have lost sight of the very essence. All theologists
today are stuck in the jungle of names and forms.
This is like - water being called by different names
at different places in different languages. In Hindi and
Sanskrit we call it ‘jal’. In English it is called water. In
German it is called wasser. In Spanish it is called agua.
We may utter different sounds. But all of us mean
water only. Spanish say it is agua, but not water. The
Germans say it is wasser. Indians, say jal. In Telugu (our

51
52 Chapter 2

local language) we say neeru. Each one tries to fight

that his understanding is correct. Thus the one energy
which is the basis of all, is given different names in
different theologies. We fight to establish the names we
are familiar with. That energy is called ‘Tat’ in Vedas,
in English it is ‘That’, in Hebrew it is ‘El’, in Arabic
it is ‘Allah’. Each one is possessive of the name with
which he is familiar and is repulsive of another name.
But one thing should be known that all are referring to
the same essence though through different names, just
like all are referring to water though through different
sounds. As long as we are stuck with names and forms,
the basis of such names and forms remains hidden.
The patterns through which the creation happens
remain the same. Today the humans are generally
not with the essence and its periodical, geometrical
patterns of manifestation and de-manifestation. We
distanced from the basic laws of alternation, pulsation,
periodicity, involution and evolution. We do not see
any more the grand geometrician, the very architect
and his classical tools in bringing about the gradations
of spirit and matter. Occultism is meant to reorient
to this grand knowledge, which the ancients expressed
through symbol, colour, sound and number.
We see here Germans, Spanish, Argentineans,
Belgians, Austrians, Danish, Swiss and Indians.
Essentially we all are humans. By and large our
 Form and Name 53

constitution is the same. We think alike in matters of

food, drink, body care, personal growth, family etc.
Yet, we humans are lost in the differences we notice.
To prevent such loss of unity, we need to see that which
is common between us. Our frames are common in the
sense, that all of us have two eyes, one nose, a mouth,
two ears, two hands, upper torso, lower torso, legs and
feet. Even the fingers of the feet or hands are same
in number. The teeth that we are originally given are
also the same unless we have lost some of them due
to our behaviour. The five senses, the five sensations
are common. The five pulsations and the life principle
are also common. The awareness that functions in us
through the 7 chief centres of the body is common as
well.
What is uncommon is our behaviour. That which
is common in us is times more than that which is
uncommon in us. To notice the uncommon and the
related difference is ordinary. To notice that which
is common, and thereby feel the unity is more than
ordinary. Wisdom shows what is common between all
and ignorance drives one to distinguish, to be separative
and to be different.
The essential common base to all of us is our
existence, in which there is a spring-up of awareness.
Awareness is also common to all of us. Existence and
awareness are common. With awareness as basis, each
54 Chapter 2

one engages in a triple activity of will, knowledge and

action. It is here, each one is different from the other.
To will, to know and to act are different in us
due to different states of attunement of the self to its
background. When the alignment with the background
is disturbed, the ability to will, to know and to act
suffers disturbance. This is what is explained through
the story of the prodigal son. A prodigal son is one who
distanced from his father. It is due to the state of our
non-alignment, men step out of the plan. The occult
work is to regain the alignment. Humanity digressed
from the plan and therefore lost the related will,
knowledge and action that would have rested them
in harmony. Conflict is the result of this digression.
To correct this digression the seers recommended
re-alignment through prayer.
Prayer was originally seen as a means to realign with
the higher centres of Sun in oneself. But unfortunately
prayers also fell in their quality and purpose and are
today reduced to glorified begging, begging different
things at different times on priority basis. Besides
begging from the world, humans have developed
a system to beg from God, even. “Beg you shall
be given,” is but a poor status of human. Men have
learnt to strike deals with God, by which prayers have
become commercial. Most of these prayers are prayers
of personality to seek for the personality. Such prayers
 Form and Name 55

do not transform. They only create a greater illusion

than what is already in existence. Prayer is but a form
of meditation. It is meant to align with the divine
centres in oneself. That is to align with heart, ajna
and sahasrara. As one stably stays in such alignment,
he invariably receives impulses regarding what to do,
when to do, how to do and the strength to do.
Today we stand disoriented in different degrees, and
are making efforts to reorient. The effort to reorient
would slowly enable reorientation. As much as we
reorient we are tending to get back to evolution. As
much as we stand disoriented, so much the evolution
ceases and we stand stagnated. This is the stage where
humanity is in. The differences in the state of evolution
are on account of different exposures, experiences and
experiments relating to personality. They settle in us
different understandings. As we tend to align the three
qualities tend to balance as between them and form
into an equilateral triangle. When the three qualities
find their balance the rest falls into order. “As above
so below,” is an age old dictum. All learning is but a
progress from disorder to order and that order enables
realignment with the higher self (higher Sun centre in
us). Some are ahead in their learning, some are behind.
But all of us are learning and we continue to learn.
We receive some solace when we know that our Sun
is also said to be learning under the guidance of his
56 Chapter 2

seniors, namely the Suns of the Great Bear, and his

superiors, namely Savitru (solar centre) and Aditya
(cosmic centre).
Yet our Sun is the best role model and an example
available to us. On one hand, he nourishes the solar
system with the cooperation of other planetary regents.
On the other hand he attunes to the plan, as it descends
into him from higher circles. By doing so, he is shining
forth in the firmament.
We too should fall in line with him, while learning
to cooperate with the surrounding beings, serving
those who are dependent on us and on the other
hand attuning to the higher centres in us, namely the
anahata, the ajna and the sahasrara.
All prayers are meant for attunement with the higher
circles so that one is reinforced and strengthened to
perform better in the surrounding. This dimension is
perpetually demonstrated by the Sun and we need to
imitate this principle of our Sun.
Remember that each one of us is a Sun centre. We
too have the cooperation of the planetary energies in
us and we also have the facility to align with the higher
centres in us.
The work of a wisdom worker is to align with
the higher and to perform in the surrounding. The
inflow of energies from higher circles shall have to be
appropriately distributed into the surroundings and
 Form and Name 57

by this we discharge our duty. As we discharge all our

Earthly obligations we stand fulfilled on Earth.
Coming back to our theme of blackboard which
represents that which is beyond, the background,
any number of points can emerge on this blackboard.
The background has innumerable possibilities of
emergence. Emergence of a point, upon the boundless
space creates a space globe, which forms the basis for
a creation to happen. May this be clear. May this be
meditated to know/realize the birth of a Sun or birth
of a soul, an atman.
As the three Suns (cosmic, solar and planetary)
have their respective areas of operation; similarly the
humans have their area of operation and influence.
The rest of the area remains passive in relation to them.
There is passive space beyond the cosmic globe which
is boundless and limitless. We need to meditate upon
the self and its effulgence to start with.
The Sun’s centre in us is the heart. Its light is
golden. The exalted Sun centre in us is at ajna. Its light
is silver or diamantine. The seers meditated either in
the heart to realize the golden light or at ajna to realize
the diamantine light. The former is called the subtle,
and the latter is called the causal. Our awareness is
generally posited in the objective mind. Therefore we
look out to experience the objective world.
58 Chapter 2

But the objective world itself is a product of

successive causal and subtle manifestations. To
experience the subtle and the causal we need to turn
from objective awareness to subjective awareness.
Turning the mind inward is the fundamental step
for any occult understanding. As one turns subjective
and contemplates upon the heart centre, one finds a
world of golden light which is times more beautiful and
engaging, with oneself as the centre. Likewise as one
contemplates upon ajna, one finds the beauty of the
diamantine world with oneself as the centre. Finally as
we meditate upon the crown centre we experience the
cosmic Sun centre. Beyond is the eighth plane where
the background exists. Entering that background or
beyond is called Samadhi. There the self disappears
into That.
Thus in us at crown there is the cosmic existence, at
ajna there is solar existence, at heart there is planetary
Sun centre and in manipuraka we exist as mind oriented
beings on the planet. For all these the symbol is the
centre with circumference and the sound is AUM.
All the Sun centres in us are realizable in the
sushumna of one’s own column. The column is
pervaded by the related energies in the three higher
centres namely heart centre, ajna centre and crown
centre.
 Form and Name 59

Relating to one after the other successively from

heart centre to crown centre, one gains the related
wisdom. It is again threefold and is called ‘Trayee Vidya’.
In these higher centres namely heart, ajna and crown,
we find the related subtle matter, which are given the
names of subtle, causal and primordial.
The seers of the ancient times stayed within and
successively ascended these centres and realized the
related fields of activity of the threefold light. Out of
joy and ecstasy and pure love they expressed for the
benefit of fellow beings. These expressions eventually
became the scriptures. These scriptures inspire beings.
Therefore studying the scriptures has become a
tradition. It is to follow those who precede us on the
path of light. They constitute the forerunners. They
form the path. We too follow the path. Even Buddha
followed it. For that reason he is called ‘Tathagata’.
Tathagata means one who treaded the same path. We
are also Tathagatas in so far as we follow the same path.
It is a path of alignment with the higher centres of solar
light. We take their experience as guidance and move
forward. On the way they form the directional posts.
We accept the direction and move forward.
But engaging in scriptures does not enable one to
realize the threefold Sun. To realize, one needs to do
what the seers did. Reading their experience does not
straight away lead to the related states of being and
60 Chapter 2

experiencing. Daily reading of scriptures is only to gain

inspiration to align and meditate. The way is
meditation. For this, the study helps. But the study
also cannot be steady unless one turns one’s own life
into a life of offering contrary to the life of seeking.
From seeking to offering the life requires a shift. Such
offering is to gain access to the truths of the scriptures,
which in turn inspires one to meditate. The basic
triangle of realization is

Today many try to read books. As they read, they

make their own understanding and they fall into
the illusion that they are illumined by their own
understanding. They fall prey to the pride of having
studied and learnt. They tend to be haughty.
By nature it is normal for one to have some pride.
But those who enter into the prime of learning through
books tend to display arrogant superiority and disdain
 Form and Name 61

on those with lesser understanding. For such ones,

service is the only way to turn normal.
The wisdom books are as harmful as helpful. Too
much reading of books is undesirable. One develops
insurmountable hurdles by such reading. The hurdle
is a super ego. Frequently the students are advised
not to be book worms. They walk unwittingly into a
loophole and they do not realize it either. They delude
themselves.
To retreat from this delusion three fundamental
practices are needed.
1. Practicing simple steps of wisdom and
remaining silent is a fundamental step.
2. Gradually transforming one’s life into a life of
offering is the second step.
3. Meditating regularly to turn inward and
align with the higher centres is the third and
final step.
If one can turn the awareness posited in the objective
mind into the subjective side of the mind, he finds the
Holy in himself. As the subjective mind engages upon
the golden light of the heart it finds the Holy. As one
enters the heart, one enters the Holy or the divine side
of oneself. One enters the temple. Thereafter one is
led into deeper chambers of temple, to experience the
threefold solar energy. Such is the work contemplated
by Sun worship.
62 Chapter 2

Threefold Wisdom – Trayee Vidya

The cosmic Sun centre, the solar Sun centre and
the planetary Sun centre constitute a triangle of solar
energy. The cosmic is electrical, while the planetary
is frictional; the solar which is the middle one is the
balance between the two. The first represents electrical
or cosmic fire, the third represents the frictional fire
and the second represents the balancing fire. Again
the first represents the spirit, the third represents the
matter and the second represents the consciousness.
In Hindu theological parlance, the first represents Siva
(the cosmic Will), the third represents Brahma (the
cosmic Intelligence) and the second represents Vishnu
(cosmic Love-Wisdom). Likewise, they are also called
Aditya, Surya and Savitru respectively.

Remember that the three emerge from the

background, which is the fourth one. Each time a
triangle is presented, try to see four aspects, and not
just three. The three are but projections from the
background which is the fourth.
Remembering the unseen along with the seen, is
an occult practice. Comprehending only the visible
and not the basis of the visible, causes incomplete
comprehension. When there are three Suns at three
levels, there is already the background of the three.
“One becomes three. The three are in One. The One
is in three. The three are in One. The One can descend
through the three as the fourth one.”
It is from this understanding, the Lord is said to be
the four-armed one and also as the fourth one.
The three vertices of triangle have their synthesis
in fourth one which is realized through their common
centre.
66 Chapter 2

The three representing spirit, matter and

consciousness, find their synthesis in the fourth. In the
science of triangles (Trayee Vidya) the most important
aspect is to synthesize the three upon the background
of One.
‘Trayee Vidya’ of the East is the Trinosophia of the
Greeks. Trayee is Trino, Vidya is Sophia. Trayee and
Trino mean three. Vidya or Sophia means wisdom.
Thus ‘Trayee Vidya’ of the East is the Trinosophia of
the West.
The whole creation is but the expression of the
three centres namely spirit, matter and consciousness.
Consciousness is but a composite state of spirit and
matter. When either of the two (spirit or matter)
is absent, consciousness is naught. There cannot
be spiritual consciousness. Consciousness itself
means a state of two, the observer and the object of
observation. In the state of spirit there is no observer
to observe. Thus only when spirit exists, naught can
be comprehended. Emergence of consciousness is the
basis to comprehend. Consciousness does not emerge
until there is emergence of primordial matter or
‘mula prakriti’. Thus consciousness is seen as the child,
spirit is seen as the father and matter is seen as the
mother.
Each one of us in our awakened state is a unit of
consciousness. It is the product of the spirit in us and
 Threefold Wisdom – Trayee Vidya 67

the matter in us. Its glow depends upon the grossness

or the subtleness of the matter.
This triangle of father, mother and son is no doubt
popular, but its significance is seldom realized.

Each one of us is but a son. So is the Sun of our

solar system. When we know the son that we are, we
also know the Sun in the firmament. The self – ‘I Am’
(Asmi), is the son as well as the sun.
“Man! Know thyself,” is an age-old saying. Every
master of wisdom pronounces it. Man is but the ‘self ’
that went through many modifications through many
incarnations predominantly in mind as mind. Since
man functions predominantly with mind, he is called
man. The word ‘man’ in English came through the
Sanskrit word man (mind), manava, manushya. Each
one of us, though a conscious entity, is predominantly
driven by mind. Ascending from mind to self is the
68 Chapter 2

path of return suggested. Self descended through

modifications as mind. To re-modify the mind, to
realize the self is understood as the occult path or the
path of the discipleship or the path of yoga. From mind
to buddhi, the initial modification has to happen.
From buddhi to atma are the final modifications.
The atma or the soul is beyond the three qualities.
The soul, when it finds its identity with the Super
Soul, the final realization happens. The universal self
itself is a modification according to Vedas. Universal
self emanates from the Absolute (Brahman) through
multiple modifications. As soul enters into the
triangular qualities, it modifies itself into an ego. An
egoic state is a separated state.
 Pythagoras and the Symbol of Tetractys 69

Pythagoras and the

Symbol of Tetractys
A self-conscious one distinguishes himself from the
surroundings. He tends to be different from others
according to the qualities he has. Thus the unqualified
self becomes a qualified self.
From unitary existence, unit existence happens. The
unit existence is surrounded by the qualities. Balancing
the qualities, one can function harmoniously. The
balanced state of the qualities is called buddhi. In the
buddhic state one can live in harmony, while in the
world.
The buddhi relates to the world through the
medium-ship of the mind. The mind has five channels
as five senses, through which energies flow out and flow
in. Effected by the flowing in energy (information),
mind gets mutated.
If one stays in buddhi he can observe the ever
modifying mind. But if one is absorbed by the mind,
one loses the harmony of life and lives in conflict due
to unending modifications that the mind suffers from.
Man by habit lives in mind. By practice he should
stay in buddhi and handle mind, senses and the body.
Buddhi is the light of the soul or the self. The soul or
the self can be within the triangular qualities or beyond.
When it is within it tends to be separative. When
70 Chapter 2

it is beyond, it is in its normal state of non-separate

existence.
Thus the self which is non-separate, tends to be
separate, further tends to be into buddhi and finally
posits itself in mind, in a human being. These are the
four states of the self, of which men are at the fourth
state.
At the fourth state, man is not only with the world
but also within it. He is engulfed by the world. Man
submerges into it. He sinks into it and loses his original
identity. He gets limited by the name, the form and its
quality. The fourth state is a state of conditioning. The
self thus stands conditioned and loses its identity. To
regain it, one is to recollect the three higher aspects of
oneself.
• The three higher aspects are presented by a
triangle.
• The fourth aspect is presented by a square.
• The triangle within the square is a conditioned
state.
• A triangle above the square is an unconditioned
state.
• The latter is called the temple. The former
is called a prison. The self can suffer
imprisonment or it can stay free as the master.
• The knowledge and the related practices
enable a man to turn into a master.
 Pythagoras and the Symbol of Tetractys 71

The great adept Pythagoras was deeply fond of the

symbol of Tetractys or Tetragrammaton (triangle in a
square).
• Pythagoras explains man’s inversion by inverse
triangle within the square. (Fig.1)
• He explains man’s relation to the world with a
triangle in the square.(Fig.2)
• He further explains man’s triumph over the
world by a triangle upon the square.(Fig.3)
• He explains the heavenly man with the double
triangle of one triangle juxtaposing the other.
(Fig.4)
72 Chapter 2

• In the first state man is a slave.

• In the second state, man lives in harmony
within the creation.
• In the third state, he masters the world. The
world does not bind him anymore.
• The fourth state is the state where the divine
is, functioning at all levels unconditioned.
• The symbolism used by Pythagoras speaks out
volumes. Symbols explain much more than
the commentaries. He explains the third step
as the temple.
Our work through the seminar is to recollect the
three higher aspects in us (buddhi, separate self and
non-separate self ) with our normal fourth state of
mind as the basis.
The basis, as is evident from the description, is
mind. Mind has two faces. It can be objective and
subjective. We develop only the objective face. We
need to develop the subjective face. We should be able
to see, listen and smell within. We should also be able
to feel the inner touch and taste.
Just as we developed the objective mind since
childhood, we need to develop the subjective mind
through related education. Objective mind has been
developed through our application to objectivity.
Similarly subjective mind can be developed through
education and application to the inner world.
 Pythagoras and the Symbol of Tetractys 73

Until we turn inward and practice to see or listen,

not much can be gained through seminars like these.
There is a need for allocating 2 to 3 hours a day for
subjective listening or seeing, by this we develop
through time the subjective mind. The subjective
mind finds within oneself a humming sound and the
related light emerging from the heart. Associating with
the light enables one to reach the first Sun centre in the
heart. The Sun is but three in one. He has two higher
aspects – central Sun and cosmic Sun. Staying in heart
further contemplations can be made to experience
the central Sun. By this one reaches ajna. Thereafter
the contemplation is upon the centre at the crown,
which is the cosmic Sun. Thus from objective mind to
subjective mind, and subjective mind to anahata and
from anahata to ajna, ajna to the crown the ascensions
happen. In the process the three Suns are realized.
The Vedic literature named the planetary Sun as
Surya (meaning the weaver, like a spider the Sun weaves
the solar system). He functions around our Earth
weaving the 4 cardinal points manifesting 12 qualities.
The threefold Sun interacting with the 4 cardinal
points bring in 12 qualities through the 12 months of
a solar year. Sun himself is a sevenfold principle as is
explained before. Thus the numbers 3, 4, 7 and 12 as
also the related symbols are meditated as the means to
experience the Sun energy.
74 Chapter 2

Pythagoras says:
3+4=7
3 x 4 = 12
7 are the gradations of Sun’s light leading to 7 states
of awareness, 7 colours, 7 planes and 7 planets etc.
12 are the qualities of the Sun represented by the
energies of the 12 zodiacal signs. Man the principle of
7 (septennate) relates to the 12 qualities and gains his
own experience.
The numbers 3 and 4 applied in different ways
culls out different vistas of wisdom. Therefore 3, 4, 7
and 12 shall have to be understood in relation to their
potential by every occult student.
The Platonic solids are also relatable to these
numbers (2 x 3 = 6, 2 x 4 = 8, 3 x 4 = 12). One finds
the related formations of particles (building blocks)
which unveil profound wisdom. The Platonic solids
are but the nature, quality and potency of the basic
numerals that are at work in building the particles that
form the creation.
Pythagoras claims the basic importance of the
threefold manifestation of Sun, through the 4 cardinal
points, through his most favoured symbol ‘Tetractys’.
The threefold cosmic man manifests through
fourfold cardinal points with his sevenfold principles
into twelvefold qualities.
 Pythagoras and the Symbol of Tetractys 75

“The Tetractys [also known as the decad] is

an equilateral triangle formed from the sequence of
the first ten numbers aligned in four rows. It is both
a mathematical idea and a metaphysical symbol that
embraces within itself - in seed like form- the principles of
the natural world, the harmony of the cosmos, the ascent
to the divine, and the mysteries of the divine realm. So
revered was this ancient symbol that it inspired ancient
philosophers to swear by the name of the one who brought
this gift to humanity.”
[source: www.wikipedia.com]

To understand the cosmic plan, the only way

is to study him in his image, vertical micro-form,
which is man. Man is seven layered with seven
nodal points, which are called the seven centres. He
expresses in quality, like the 12 signs of the zodiac.
Pythagoras further says, “The sevenfold cosmic person
76 Chapter 2

enters into the twelvefold qualities to prepare the

creation whose number is 5.”
The 7 principles sacrifice themselves into the 12
qualities. When 7 is absorbed into 12, it results in 5.
12 – 7 = 5
The cosmic person enters into all, sacrifices himself,
and through his 12 qualities, prepares this creation
whose number is 5.
Number 5 is a key by itself. Numerology attributes
number 5 to son of God and number 10 to God. Even
in astrology, the 5th sun sign gives clue in relating to
sons, while the 10th sun sign gives clue to the son
joining the father. The man in creation can join with
the cosmic man by decoding the mystery relating to
him. For such decoding, 5 is the key number. In fact it
is also interesting to know that 5 is the middle number,
4 numbers precede it and 4 numbers succeed it.
1234 5 6789
 Pythagoras and the Symbol of Tetractys 77

Number 5 can rearrange the other numbers into

four sets and sum of each set is 10.
(1 + 9) = (2 + 8) = (3 + 7) = (4 + 6) = 10
Thus there can be fulfilment and realization in all
the four states of existence as one knows the mystery
of number 5.
The chief mystery of number 5 is – opposing
energies of spirit and matter agree in their middle
principle. Number 5 is such a middle principle. The
planes of existence happen with different gradations of
matter and spirit. The equation at every plane can be
worked out when we trace the middle principle. It stays
equidistant to left and the right, to the matter and the
spirit. It is the point of divergence of spirit and matter
and therefore is as well the point of convergence. In
every plane such point exists. That point is referred to
as number 5.
In a triangle of father, mother and son, in the son
there is the quality of father and the quality of mother
held harmoniously. The number of son is 5 and that
of the father is 10. In 5 you hold the father as also the
mother, since the son is a product of the two. To make
it a little more clear, 10 only is reflected through nature
as 5. Father only is reflected through mother as son.
With the help of the son, the father can be understood.
Number 5 is therefore taken as the number of son of
God, who gives understanding of ninefold nature and
78 Chapter 2

tenfold God. The son of God is called Kumara in

Sanskrit.
In the Vedic cosmology five Kumaras are chiefly
mentioned, who run their ashrams for teaching in
all the three planes (planetary, solar and cosmic).
These five Kumaras are known as Sanatana, Sanaka,
Sanandana, Sanat Kumara and Narada. One such
Kumara is present on our planet, whom we call
Sanat Kumara. It is this teacher, with a hierarchy of
teachers, who presides over the wisdom schools of all
ages on Earth. He is the key to operate the schools
of wisdom, into which aspirants are admitted on the
basis of the quality of their energy. The seven schools
of wisdom are operated on the planet in relation to
seven rays by the seven seers under his guidance. He
is the hierophant through whom evolutions beyond
the planet can be reached. He stands as the bridge
between earthly existence and higher existences. He
presides over the seventh sub-plane of the seventh
plane (earthly plane). He is referred to as the cosmic
physical permanent atom. He is called the ‘King of the
Earth’, ‘The Lord of the Earth’, as also ‘The Ruler of
the Earth’. The World Teacher, Lord Maitreya (Christ)
functions directly in tune with him.
 Tracing the Path of the Sun 79

Tracing the Path of the Sun

The Sun we see, is the chief luminary in the sky, is
the Sun principle objectified. He is the visible globe
of the Sun principle. The source of the Sun is the Sun
principle which exists on the cosmic and solar planes
as well.
The cosmic Sun is attributed the sound potency ‘A’.
The central Sun is attributed the sound potency of ‘U’.
The planetary Sun is attributed the sound potency ‘M’.
These three states of the solar principle are represented
by the sound ‘AUM’.
The cosmic, the solar and the planetary Suns put
together constitute the supra-cosmic man, Purusha.
Each of these principles is sevenfold in nature and
together they are three times seven (3 x 7). For this
reason the Purusha is said to be 21+ distributed by 7.
The Veda says, “7 are the layers, and thrice 7 are the
sticks of fuel for Purusha.”
• The cosmic Sun is invisible and incomprehensible
to man.
• Solar Sun is the soul of the Sun which can be
comprehended, but is not visible to the naked
eye.
• The planetary sun-globe is the physical body of
the Sun.
80 Chapter 2

• The physical body of the Sun has seven layers

represented by the seven planetary bodies
(excluding Sun and including Earth. i.e.
Mercury, Venus, Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn
and Earth).
• These seven planets are born out of the
7 principles of the planetary Sun, who is
considered to be their source.
• The Sun we see is the 8th one from whom the 7
emerge. Beyond the seven, the Sun is a luminous
globe.
• This luminous globe itself is in 7 gradations
whose luminosity is based upon the central Sun
(Savitru).
• Savitru is the 8th one from whom 7 gradations
of light happen. The 7 gradations of the Sun are
known as the 7 solar flames.
• Savitru himself is a product of 7 cosmic
radiations, whose origin is the cosmic Sun, the
9th one.
• Thus three Suns at three levels representing
matter, force and consciousness, represent
one cosmic form, called the Cosmic Purusha
(Cosmic Person).
• The cosmic person is thus said to be beyond
21 and is not attributed a number, since he
 Tracing the Path of the Sun 81

is beyond numerical potency. He is said to be

(3 x 7)+, or 21+.
• It is in relation to this cosmic person, the great
initiate Pythagoras uses Pi. From planetary Sun
to the cosmic person, the path is represented by
Pi. Pi as we know is the relation between the
centre and circumference as radii.
• The wisdom is to travel from planetary Sun
centre to the cosmic Sun centre and move
beyond to be annihilated or absorbed. This
absorption or annihilation is referred to as
Nirvana.
• Nirvana again is in three steps. The first Nirvana
happens as one joins the Sun. The second
Nirvana happens as one joins the central Sun.
The third Nirvana happens as one joins the
cosmic Sun. Nirvana means death. In the first
step there would be death of personality and
birth of soul. In the second step there is death
of the soul and birth of spirit. In the third step
there is spirit joining its pool. These three stages
of Nirvana are called Nirvana, Para Nirvana
and Maha Paranirvana. In the human context,
in the cosmic physical plane, this can be seen as
reaching anahata, ajna and sahasrara.
 Chapter 3
Man and Cosmic Man
The man on the planet is formed in likeness to
the cosmic form and is referred to as an image of
the cosmic person. In the image of the human form,
correspondences are found by seers in relation to the
three Suns and the One beyond. To trace the origin of
the cosmos and man, one can relate to the three solar
centres in him. All wisdom practices are in relation to
this.
• Cosmic person has cosmic centre, solar centre
and planetary centre. Man also has these three
centres – crown, ajna and anahata.
• Man is visible through his body. The cosmic
Sun is visible through his body represented by
the solar globe.
• The soul of the solar globe is the central Sun.
The soul of man is in the ajna.
• The spirit of the solar globe is the cosmic Sun.
The spirit of man is in the crown.
• The cosmic person permeates through the three
Suns as the fourth one. Man too permeates
through his crown, ajna and anahata.

82
 Man and Cosmic Man 83

Mundane man requires turning in and reaching

the heart centre and ascending thereafter to the crown
centre to experience his origin.
In this path he also experiences the origin of cosmos.
It is for this reason worshipping the Sun in its threefold
aspect is given by the seers of all times in all theologies.
Worshipping these three Suns represent worshipping:
• Spirit, Soul and Matter.
• Consciousness, Force and Matter.
• 1st, 2nd and 3rd Logos.
• The Holy Trinity or Triad.
Beyond this triad, is the God unspeakable,
all-permeating and all-potential. Upon this background,
the fourth one, there is the play of the trinity.
An occultist is therefore recommended to withdraw
himself from the objectivity into the heart.
Having returned to the heart, he needs to ascend
through contemplation up to the forehead and
thereafter contemplate upon that which is beyond.
The path is thus retracing from the horizontal (the
objectivity) to the point where the awareness moves
vertical and ascending the vertical thereafter.
84 Chapter 3

Horizontal to vertical and vertical to origin is the

path that every teacher formulates for the students.
The human awareness moves in the horizontal path
in pursuit of objectivity. Withdrawing the awareness
is like reversing the flow, which is not possible, unless
one exercises a strong will.
Having reversed the flow of awareness, one reaches
the point where he finds the way to the vertical. The
point where the vertical is, there, one has to stay. That
point in us is the heart. At the heart, there is a vertical
silver line through which one may ascend with the
guidance of a teacher of Raja Yoga path. This vertical
line is referred to as sushumna. It is also referred to as
Mukhya Prana. It is further referred to as the Chief
Life. Teachers of Raja Yoga familiarize this path to
enable the ascent.
The ascent is for those, who are fairly detached
from the objective life. It is not for those who are sunk
in the objective life nor for those who are averse to it. It
is neither aversion nor attachment but a natural release
due to fulfilment of obligations of life through a life
of offering. The path of the Sun is the straight path to
those who follow their awareness and retrace it to its
origin.
 Sun Ritual 85

Sun Ritual
The four positions of the Sun relative to our Earth
cause forth the downpour of different solar energies.
The four cardinal points are East, Mid-heaven, West
and Nadir.
They also cause the second set of four cardinal points
as East, South, West and North on the horizontal plane.
It is this sixfold energy emerging from the six cardinal
points that constitutes into a deity of six dimensions.
The energy touching the Earth in two sets of four at
six places with two vertices being common in the two
sets of four can be pictured as under:

There are four around, one above and one below as

can be seen from the diagram. Within this diagram one
can find the energies of a sphere, a binary, a triangle
86 Chapter 3

and a square. Thus the potencies of 4, 3, 2 and 0 are

made available on Earth. Number 432 is a master-key
to explain the cycles of time, the ninefold nature, the
fourfold existence, the threefold involutionary and
evolutionary forces and the twofold division of above
and below, left and right.
The interplay of these numbers brings forth variety
of numerical potencies, geometrical patterns and the
related powers, sounds and colours (2 x 3 = 6, 2 x 4 =
8, 3 x 4 = 12). The deity thus formed carries all these
potentials. The solar God in relation to the Earth brings
about an ascending arch of light from December to
June which is called the Divine Arch, and a descending
arch of light which is called the Royal Arch from June
to December. He brings forth 6 seasons of 2 months
each and a solar year of 12 months. He also brings
forth 4 quarters of 3 months each. He further brings
forth 3 divisions of 4 months each with 3 sets of 4
elements (3 earthy signs, 3 watery signs, 3 fiery signs
and 3 airy signs). The Earth and the beings on the
Earth get fulfilled with the patterns, potencies, sounds
and colours that Sun brings forth.
There are oppositions within the symbol which
are complementary. The circle speaks of the Law of
Periodicity. The successive sectors speak of the Law
of Alternation. The point and the circle represent the
Law of Pulsation. Tracing the 4 sectors in clockwise
 Sun Ritual 87

direction, the Law of Involution is revealed. Tracing

them on the reverse wheel, the Law of Evolution is
revealed.
• From the ever hidden background, the one
(point) is born. Around the 1, the 0 (the
globe) is born.
• From these 2 the threefold being comes.
• From 3, the 4.
• The 3 and 4 unite (to become 7) and multiply
(to become 12).
Meditating upon the symbol enables inner revelation
of wisdom. The hidden wisdom is thus revealed.
In recent times Madam HPB was shown this
symbol. Thereby she gained subjective consciousness
through contemplation and revealed the mysteries of
creation.
A student of occultism is recommended to stand
in the centre of the symbol and contemplate upon a
sphere around him with the 2 sets of 4 cardinal points
mentioned here before.
This is conceived as a ritual by Vedic seers and is
given out for practice during morning and evening
hours. Those who are introduced to Sun worship are
basically given this ritual. It is also called a ritual of
building a double pyramid around oneself with one’s
own heart as the centre. Around the pyramid the
sphere is also visualized.
88 Chapter 3

The ritualist is recommended to face the East,

salute the East and visualize that the angel of the
East is reaching him into his heart. He thereafter is
recommended to turn to face South and visualize the
arrival of the angel of South, reaching him up to the
heart. Likewise he turns to West and to North as well
and invokes the related energies. Thereafter, there
would be invocation of energies from Mid-heaven
and from the Nadir. From all the 6 directions the 6
angels join the ritualist at the heart, by which a double
pyramid is built.
Around the double pyramid, the sphere is visualized.
In fact the 6 directions bring in primordial energies
and construct a cube. Cube enables manifestation of
magical work.
 Sun Ritual 89

The cube has 6 sides (4 around, 1 above and 1

below) and this cube unfolds into the sevenfold man.
The six-dimensioned cube when unfolded becomes a
cross of 7 squares. 6 dimensions of the cube thus bring
out the sevenfold man as the cosmic cross, which has
truly speaking 6 sides, but appears as the sevenfold
one.

In the cross of 6 squares one sees 7. Since square

2 is common in horizontal and vertical, it has to be
counted twice. It is the common point for the two sets
of cardinal points.
The sixfold solar energy is also worshipped as a
three-dimensional cross.
The two sets of 4 cardinal points result in a
three-dimensional cross with 4 horizontal points in a
square and with Mid-heaven and Nadir as a vertical
descending therein.
90 Chapter 3

The same three dimensional is now being presented

in the modern world as under:

This symbol has been visualised in Vedic times as a

four-armed deity with his head and legs forming the
other two vertices.
Worshipping this deity in a miniature form in one’s
own heart was conceived within and given in Vishnu
Purana and subsequently in Bhagavata Purana. The
 Sun Ritual 91

students may realize that the threefold Sun descends

upon Earth as a six-faced diety and guards the Earth
and the earthy beings. They would do well to worship
this form of energy. It is the form of the cosmic person
whose other names are Virat Purusha, Vishnu, Cosmic
Christ, Adam Kardmon and so on.
I leave it to students to enlarge upon the subject to
envision the profundity of Sun’s work on Earth. Sun
therefore stands as the most worshipful deity for all the
beings of the Earth.
92 Chapter 3

Manifold Divisions
of the Solar Year
The three-dimensional cross has hexagonal
properties in it bringing forth the six dimensions of a
solar year.
• The year is divided into 6 seasons of 2 months
each. 6 seasons prevail in the tropics while only
4 are experience beyond them. The 6 seasons
are spring, summer, rain, bloom, winter and
fall. Each season is of 60 days. In 60 hours,
moon transits a sun sign. 60 minutes constitute
an hour and 60 seconds constitute a minute.
Number 6 is a formidable number and a key to
unveil the dimensions of the Sun cycle. 3 and 9
are other numbers.
• The 6 seasons are worked out successively in
the 6 centres of the human body from ajna
to muladhara, which enables experiencing the
solar deity in oneself and as oneself. This is what
is called as realizing oneself as the son of God.
• The year is divided into 6 months of ascending
Sun (Uttarayana) and 6 months of descending
Sun (Dakshinayana).
• It is again divided into 3 parts of 4 months
each giving birth to 3 airy signs, 3 fiery signs, 3
watery signs and the 3 earthy signs.
 Manifold Divisions of the Solar Year 93

• In each 1/3rd part of the year, 4 of them repeat in

a sequence of fire, matter, air and water.
• Their rearrangement in oneself would bring in
the synthesis of 4 as the 5th one, namely Akasa.
• Akasa can be experienced 3 times through the
threefold division of the solar year.
• The Vedic scriptures speak of 3 akasas namely,
akasa, mahadakasa and parakasa. They are the
basis for the three aspects of the Sun. Unless
the 4 elements, which are seemingly opposite
(water-fire, earth-air) are synthesized, the 5th
element, the origin of the 4 elements cannot
be experienced. Synthesis results when the
two pairs of opposites are worked out to be
complementary. By such work, the opposites
disappear resulting in air and fire. Air and fire
are but complementary to each other. As they
fuse the result is akasa. The science of alchemy
is a sublime science by itself. Initiates from time
to time synthesise the elements in them and
consequently they could also synthesise elements
outside. By this they have been able to cause
appearance and disappearance of things and
articles. They also appeared and disappeared,
with the help of this science. In the ordinary
humans these four elements are at loggerheads
with each other. Hence bodily existence is not
94 Chapter 3

a very comfortable state. The body that is given

shall have to be reorganised to find the related
harmony. When a horoscope is examined the
proportions in which the four elements are can
be verified. If fire and water are predominant
there is the consequent fight within one’s body
causing disturbances in health. If fiery planets
are in water, earthy planets are in air and
vice-a-versa, an astrologer should make sure to
suggest ways and means to turn the opposites
into complementary. For example, if Moon is in
fire, like in Aries, Leo or Sagittarius, the native
is not comfortable with his mind. It is a burning
mind. If it is in waters or in air, it is comfortable.
Occultism or yoga practice is to rearrange and
to synthesise. By this the yogis experience the
akasa at the heart, mahadakasa at the top of the
forehead and parakasa above the sahasrara.
• The solar year of 12 sun signs, in its threefold
division reveals many secrets of wisdom when
meditated upon.
• The solar year is likewise divided into 4
equal parts of 3 months or 90 days each. In
such division every set of 3 months conclude
successively with air, matter, fire and water.
For example in the first quarter, 3 elements
are present namely, fire in Aries, matter in
 Manifold Divisions of the Solar Year 95

Taurus and air in Gemini. Their synthesis can

be found in water. Likewise, the synthesis of
Cancer (water), Leo (fire) and Virgo (earth) can
be found in air. In this quarterly synthesis the
four elements gain their individual synthesis.
By relating to their opposites (fire-water and
air-matter), akasa can be realized. The fourfold
division enables 90 days contemplation upon
triangular elements by which the synthesis of
each element is gained culminating in air.
• To experience the 4th element (air) of the 4th
dimension (buddhi), the occultist carries out 90
days of contemplation and awaits initiation for
a day and odd, thus fulfilling the 4 cycles in 365
days.
• The solar year is also divided into 5 divisions
of 72 days each. This is called the ‘order of
the star’, which is carried out in the cave
temples of mountain ranges by advanced
initiates to experience the magic of creation
as a series of concurrent manifestations and
de-manifestations.
• A son of God is represented by the threefold
cross with 6 hands, while God himself is
represented by a cross with 4 hands. In the
Vedic wisdom, the threefold cross with 6 hands
is called Kumara. Kumara literally means a son
96 Chapter 3

of God, who descends from God and moves on

Earth to show the way to earthy beings. Every
time God manifests into a human form, he is
said to be a Kumara.
• Poetically it is said that the four-armed fourth
one descends mounting on an eagle to stand
amidst the humans as the six-faced Kumara. He
is well supported by the eagle, a bird.
• Symbolically the bird represents the principle of
pulsation.
• The man in God ascends with the help of the
ascending pulsating principle.
• The God in man descends by means of the
descending pulsating principle.
• The ascent of man and the descent of God is a
drama conducted in sushumna with the support
of the pulsating principle. Thereby God joins
man and man turns out to be the son of God.
This work of transforming oneself into Kumara
is guided by the hexagonal principle.
 Sun Temple 97

Observe the cube carefully, which has 6 sides. Each
side is a square. Each square is but 4 right angles.
• The 6 sides of the cube carry 24 right angles.
• 24 are the hours of the day.
• 24 are the lunations of the year.
• The 24 lunations are but the upward and reverse
energies of 12 months.
• The 12 months are but a 6 pairs of 2 months.
• The 6 pairs are but essentially 3.
• The 3 are but 1. It is 1 in 3 and 3 in 1, namely
the consciousness, force and matter, the trinity.
• The cube is but 6 pyramids converged with
their apexes. The 6 sides of the cube are but the
6 bases. Each base is but a square of a pyramid.
The 6 cubes converged, make one perfect unit.
A cube is a perfect figure. It does not suffer
inversion. Base it on any one of the 6 sides, it
looks the same.
• The other perfect figure is a sphere or a globe or
a ball. Even the sphere does not suffer inversion.
There is no other figure as perfect as the sphere
or the cube. Mathematically the properties of
the sphere and the properties of the cube are
the same.
• A sphere is perfection un-manifested.
98 Chapter 3

• A cube is perfection in manifestation.

• In all rituals of magic and mystery the sphere
is placed upon a cube to enable un-manifest
energy to manifest.
To enable manifestation from subtle to gross, in a
ritual, a cube is used. Likewise, whenever a sphere is
used it enables de-manifestation. For transforming to
subtle plane, spheres and circles are used. To enable
manifestation of subtle energy and to invoke blessings
and benedictions cubes are used. In all ritualistic
temples cubes and spheres are common. In temples
of lesser order squares and circles are used. Within
the cube 6 pyramids are hidden. Each pyramid has
4 triangles. Thus the 6 pyramids in the cube contain
24 triangles. 24 triangles are but 24 petals. These 24
petals are ascribed 24 syllables that constitute Gayatri
Mantra.
The Vedic seers believed that there is no mantra
higher than Gayatri and that there is no deity higher
than Gayatri. Gayatri is poetically depicted as carrying
6 faces and each face carrying 3 eyes. The secret behind
this picture’s presentation are the properties of the cube
or sphere. Meditating with the mantra of Gayatri upon
a crystal sphere has been an ancient practice. Such
meditation enables realization.
The Vedic seers believe that one attains perfection
as one contemplates Gayatri and visualizes its energy.
 Sun Temple 99

One would gain all round perfection as one

meditates upon the solar energy in the form of a cube,
the sphere or the picture of Gayatri. In the picture
of Gayatri, one would only see 5 faces, the 6th face is
hidden. With the cube also it is so.
It is interesting to note that in all pictures available
of Gayatri, one would see only 5 faces and even while
one sees a cube, one would only see the 4 sides around
and the 5th side on the top. One cannot see the side
which is hidden in the base.
The Indians speak of five-faced Gayatri, which is
exoteric. The truth is that Gayatri is six-faced, with
a face hidden. It is the case of many other deities in
India that are referred with five-faces, as one ignores
the hidden face.
Without ajna centre man is not complete with
the other five centres, namely – visudhi, anahata,
manipuraka, swadhistana (sacral) and the muladhara
(base).
There is a five-faced Hanuman, a five-faced
Ganesha and so on. In all such cases an esoteric student
should also have the vision of the unseen dimension.
To envision the unseen through the seen is occultism.
In a picture of Gayatri 3 faces are set between the
extreme right and extreme left. The extreme right face
represents the solar energy and the extreme left face
represents the lunar energy. In between these two the
100 Chapter 3

three faces represent the first, the second and the third
Logos.
The solar face has the colour of solar light (brilliant
light/diamond ray). The lunar face is coloured with
moon light (soothing milk-white ray of pearl). The
3 faces in between representing the first, second and
third Logos are coloured red, blue and golden yellow
respectively.
The 6th face which is behind is beyond number,
colour and sound.
For the present it will suffice to say that the essential
energy which forms the basis of creation comes down
as soli-lunar energy to cosmic, solar and planetary
Suns. An intelligent student requires to correlate these
energies to one’s own system and thereby gain cosmic
consciousness.
A master of wisdom is symbolically presented
as a cube, as in him all these dimensions are equally
present. He functions with equal felicity with all the
five elements and their basis. He functions in all the
three worlds relating to us.
A disciple is represented by a brick, wherein the
opposites are equal. The brick also has 6 faces like a cube.
But all its dimensions are not equal, only the opposites
are equal. In a brick of 6 sides, when the opposites are
equal they tend to be 3 pairs. Thus the brick tends to be
a triangular energy, but in such a triangle the 3 angles
 Sun Temple 101

are not equal. In the case of a cube, the 3 angles of

the triangle are equal. That accounts for the difference
between a master and a disciple. In the cube all 6 sides
are equal. In the brick the width is different from the
length. The height is still different from the other two.
It is not the case with the cube. A disciple no doubt
presents triangular energy, but not the energy of an
equilateral triangle. At least in a disciple, the opposites
are equal in the sense that he accepts the duality of life.
He is not affected by comfort or discomfort, pain or
pleasure, profit or loss, success or failure, adversities or
happy times. When one is poised in all situations of life
he is a disciple. He is a brick, symbolically speaking.
The aspirants are those who are tending to be
disciples. They have the potential to be a disciple,
provided they are willing to shape themselves up.
Shaping an irregular stone into a brick is discipleship.
Within a stone, a brick can be visualized and
unnecessary oblique structures of the stone can be
eliminated. It is only from an irregular stone that a
regular brick emerges and such bricks are useful in
building a temple of God. Bricks are brought together
and set into a pattern to realize a temple.
Thus a master of wisdom gathers around him a group
of stones, cuts and shapes those stones into bricks and
gathers the bricks and builds the temple according to
a design. It is always easy to build temples with bricks
102 Chapter 3

of stone but it is not easy to build a temple made up

of human bricks. Irregular humans need to be brought
to regularity, shaped-up, grooved-up to constitute
a brotherhood. Such has been the work of great
masters like Pythagoras who established Pythagorean
brotherhood/community. Communion of the disciples
is the basis for realization of brotherhood.
A brick sticks with another brick while building
a temple. But in a group of odd aspirants, who
are divergent and disagreeable with each other,
much is desired in terms of self-transposition and
transformation. Stone to brick and cube to sphere are
the steps to enter into the realm of the Sun.
 Sun – The Initiator 103

Sun – The Initiator

The threefold Sun represented by our visible Sun
is the cause of the four cardinal points on the Earth,
as said earlier. The threefold Sun through the four
cardinal points comes down as seven principles.
• The seven gradations of the light cosmic, solar
and planetary, manifest as the seven principles
through the seven rays upon Earth.
• Thus on Earth, one finds seven gradations of
matter.
• Our body also contains seven tissues of different
gradation from the sperm to the bone.
• The seven rays of the Sun cause sevenfold
manifestation of light and also sound in scales
of seven, for the seven different gradations of
light emerge from the seven sounds.
• All the minerals of this Earth are of seven groups.
• Matter is of seven densities.
• In seven steps a planet appears and disappears.
The consistency of the sevenfold manifestation
throughout the universe is due to the activity of
the Sun.
• Sun is also the gateway from our solar system
into higher systems.
104 Chapter 3

• On our Earth there is a Sun centre called

Shamballa, which provides the way-out from
the Earth.
• In man, the highest centre of the Sun is the
sahasrara. At that point man can experience the
highest illumination of his Sun.
• When man stands vertically on Earth, the path
of his head orients to his meridian. When Sun
is at its meridian during the midday, he stands a
chance to get aligned to the Sun. When the link
is established, the initiation takes place.
• The highest point of illumination is said to be
in the sign Aries, for Aries represents the top of
the head of the man.
• For every man his meridian is the place of his
initiation. This gives a clue for every individual
to find out the mid-heaven in his or her
horoscope. The days during which the Sun
transits the mid-heaven constitute the time for
initiation.
• For a person whose ascendant is in Capricorn,
he experiences mid-heaven in Libra. When
Sun is in mid-heaven, if such one meditates he
receives best results.
• Similarly if one’s ascendant is in Cancer, his
10th house (mid-heaven) is in Aries. If one is
aware of his 10th house and meditates during
 Sun – The Initiator 105

the noon-time during that entire month, such

meditations are most beneficial.
• The degree of your ascendant decides the day in
the 10th sun sign for an initiation. When one’s
ascendant is at 15 degrees Capricorn, and when
Sun transits the 15th degree in Libra, meditation
during that time enables initiation. At least it
would give an enlightenment of some degree.
• Every illumination is but an initiation. When
Sun is at your meridian you get the chance to
get the link with the hierarchy. A day before the
mid-heaven (or MC), and a day after are also
important. Thus three days shall have to be set
apart for the likely link to the hierarchy and the
related illumination and initiation.
• The individual Sun centre and the Sun centre
in the universe correspond to each other. They
are like the two legs of a compass. They are
concealed in the square that connects the four
cardinal points starting from one’s meridian.
• As soon as a being is born, there is this square.
Man stands at the centre of the square and
neutralizes the square as he stands in the Sun
centre.
• The drama of this universe is revealed by the
Sun as the wisdom of creation, the moment one
gains the connection to the Sun centre in him.
106 Chapter 3

• For this reason, it is said that, a yogi has to pass

through the Sun centre to unfold the wisdom
of higher levels, which hitherto remained
concealed.
• From ancient times there are rituals abound in
the world in relation to the solar symbolism.
When the individual Sun centre is illumined by
a link to the universal Sun, the latter institutes
in the former. The substituted truth that man
is, regains the original truth and the related
patterns. The square that he is born with aligns
with the Sun’s square as it exists on Earth. The
square of Sun on Earth is again seen in threefold
manner, namely – the mutable, the fixed and
the cardinal cross. The cardinal cross is the
celestial cross, it is the celestial square. When
this is established in man he tends to align with
the plan and function in tune with it.
• By this, ego disappears and the soul shines
forth. It is called the ‘ritual of head cut’. After
such a ritual, man functions for the divine
plan and ceases functioning for oneself. The
individual plan is dissolved and the divine plan
runs thereafter.
• A man himself has three squares, a square of
the past based on the moon, a square of the
present based on the ascendant and a square
 Sun – The Initiator 107

of the future that he builds based on the Sun.

Consistent meditations on the days of meridian
relating to these three squares, enables one to
square up his squares and stand in the square of
light of the Sun. Indeed the keys that astrology
unfolds are too sublime to be elaborated in the
present context. A key to initiation is presented
in the few lines stated here before.
108 Chapter 3

Sun – The Life Giver

Earth turns out to be a magnet due to the work of
the solar energy.
• Two different vibrations of solar energy are
received by Earth through the North Pole and
through the Equator.
• The North Pole receives the energies via the Pole
Star, while Equator receives it from the Sun.
• Earth receives solar energy vertically through
the North Pole and horizontally through the
Equator.
• The two streams of energy due to their different
entry points develop different vibrations. They
meet at right angles at the geometric centre of
our Earth.
 Sun – The Life Giver 109

• This point of meeting gives birth to the magnetic

currents which emerge from the centre to the
circumference of the planet.
• The vertical currents are said to be presided by
Dhruva, the Pole Star. The horizontal currents
are said to be presided by Sun. The hidden right
angle formed on Earth is referred to as
Uttanapaada (means upraised leg) in Puranaas.

• The former energies that descend via Pole Star

through the North Pole are the means for the
Jivas (eternal egos) to descend, to be the souls
on Earth.
• The latter energies that enter through the
Equator constitute the life energy that surrounds
the soul to enable formation of a vital body. It
is with the help of this vital body, the beings
on Earth gain their body drawing from the five
elements of Earth.
110 Chapter 3

• When the Earth rotates on its own axis, the

apparent circle of Sun’s daily motion serves
as a charged coil of light. This makes Earth a
magnet. The rotation of the Earth also serves
the purpose of a magnet to induce electrical
charge in the etheric currents around the Earth
touching the poles.
• All these etheric currents emerge from the
geo centre of our Earth and raise to surround
the Earth. This process is called emergence of
upraised current. Uttaanapaada means upraised
leg. The upraised etheric current runs around
the Earth touching the two poles.
• The electrical charge thus produced and
circulated through the induction coil of the
etheric currents, manifests as the vital body of
the Earth.
• Verily, it is this vital body that is distributed to
the incoming Jivas, who visit the Earth.
• The whole work happens under the supervision
of the solar deity, the Sun. He is the supervisor,
he is the observer. He is the one that objectifies
the plan on Earth.
 Chapter 4
The 5th House
Among the 12 signs of the zodiac, Sun is said to be
exalted in Aries. His place of residence is said to be in
Leo where he is called the ruler. His place of birth is
said to be in Capricorn while his place of descent is said
to be in Cancer. Sun is also said to have the chamber
of death in Scorpio, the 8th house. The transit of Sun
through the 12 sun signs is a story of great interest.
The 5th sign of the Zodiac namely Leo corresponds
to the centre above the diaphragm and it is referred
to as the cave of lion. An aspirant must necessarily be
noble, loving, protective and straight forward in his
behaviour so that he stands a chance to experience the
energy of the Sun in the cave of the lion, namely Leo.
This is the fundamental step. Then only he is said to be
residing in his original residence. Living in the heart is
considered as living in the residence. Other residences
are not so important to a student of light. Looking
for better and comfortable residences is an unending
game, until one learns and proceeds to reside in one’s
own cave of lion, which is his heart centre. Man who is
born on Earth is required to be reborn in his own lion-

111
112 Chapter 4

cave, which would enable him to experience himself

as son of God and also enable him to experience the
mysteries of caves. Entering one’s own heart centre is
but gaining the key related to number 5. Once this key
is gained through the ardent practices, the teachers are
available in the cave to help appropriate application of
the key.
At this stage, man’s life itself becomes a book and
he reads his own life, chapter by chapter. Each chapter
reveals a little more of his own nature. There are 5
such chapters or volumes which one reads in a reverse
order to experience the Sun as ‘I Am’. As much as the
5 volumes reveal to him so much he ascends from the
cave of heart to ajna, which is the throne (Aries) one
is to occupy. Enthroning himself, he rules his life and
protects the surrounding life. This is how he stands
exalted in his own being, just as Sun is exalted in Aries.
The world of fivefold elements around him is
connected to man through the fivefold senses that
man holds. Through the 5 senses man extends into
the world to the point of entanglement. He develops
roots into the world and consequently misses the
centre of residence that is within. The permeation of
man through the 5 senses shall have to be reversed. It
is like drawing back the 5 fingers of the hand to grip.
Instead of gripping the world one should draw back
the fingers to grip the centre within him. Until this
 The 5th House 113

happens one can never enter into the kingdom of light.

The 5th house Leo, is the very first house of initiation
which holds mysteries. To demystify, one should first
necessarily get into the house of mystery. Therefore
universally all scriptures speak of entering into heart,
the 5th house.
When one enters into the 5th house, he is said to
be born again. He would think, speak and act afresh.
He learns afresh to receive a new set of thoughts that
translates into speeches and actions. He is no more the
same, he is different. The one that enters into the cave,
is different from the one who resides for a considerable
duration of time in the cave and comes back. He brings
with him the touch of the light of the cave. Staying
in cave is more important than returning from it into
objectivity. Students are too quick to get back into
objectivity from the cave. But if one stays in the cave,
dwells in it, he realises many things in the cave. He
finds secret ways. He also finds a vertical way of light.
If one stays at home he knows more details of his home
condition. If one does not, there is no way to know the
facilities/difficulties of one’s own home.
Many are the mysteries of the 5th house Leo, which
can be experienced as one strives to enter the cave
within oneself.
Aspirants are interested in mysteries of creation.
No mystery reveals itself, until and unless one in-vests
114 Chapter 4

himself to experiment upon self. By the word in-vest,

please note that you need to develop a vestitute within.
This vestitute is initially of golden colour. Until this
is prepared one requires to stay for long hours in
meditation. This investiture is frequently called the
robe.
An aspirant of light encounters 5 ruffians on his way
back to the house (the heart centre). As he overcomes
each ruffian a volume in the book of creation is revealed
to him. The 5 volumes aforesaid are gradually revealed,
when the 5 ruffians are overcome. Volume one reveals
the first ruffian – desire. When desire is transformed
into will, it leads towards fulfilment of purpose of
life. Desire defuses from the purpose. This is the first
ruffian. Understanding of life is different when will
replaces desire.
The second ruffian is aversion. Aversion is but the
negative aspect of desire and it veils the second volume.
When aversion is overcome one tends to be neutral. In
this state of neutrality the second volume of creation
reveals its beauty.
The third ruffian is egoism. When egoism is high,
one tends to be separative developing pride for oneself
and prejudice towards others. When this ruffian is
overcome through seeing the One in all, the third
volume reveals the mysteries of creation.
 The 5th House 115

As revelations happen one after the other the fourth

ruffian of ignorance disappears and knowledge appears.
Finally one ruffian remains. He represents the wish to
live in the body and on Earth. As knowledge prevails
the student realises the law of nature that everything
that is born has to die. He also realises that he does not
die, while all that is grown around him dies. When this
ruffian is overcome the student stands in golden light
and the web of golden light becomes his vestitute. He
thus gets initiated in the 5th house to transcend further
into higher initiations. The 5th house transforms a son
of man to be a son of God, by enabling the needed
transformation which is a fivefold one. To such a one
the 5 senses, the 5 elements and the 5 organs function
with much greater felicity.
116 Chapter 4

Building of Houses,
Temples and Pyramids
If one carefully observes any place of worship, one
finds the structure with a triangle on a square or a
rectangle.

Man enters from the world of diversity and prays in

a temple or a church to find the unity of life. Invariably
a temple or church or a place of worship is built as a
triangular dome over a rectangular or square hall.
Even houses are built with a triangular roof
over a square or a rectangle base. In tune with the
disappearance and degeneration of knowledge through
time, humans today build houses as blocks or boxes.
The triangular dome is missing. Only the square or the
rectangle remains. A boxlike roof does not let unifying
energy into the house, as a triangular roof does. When
there is no triangle over a square, it represents body
without the head, a personality without a soul. The
 Building of Houses, Temples and Pyramids 117

triangle is the head with the triple qualities of the soul.

And the body is the square where the triple qualities
are reflected bringing forth the personality. The square
of the personality must be presided over by the triangle
of the soul. Just mind, senses and body do not enable
any knowledge, unless there is a relation established
with the light of the soul and the soul. Without head,
there is neither light nor soul, but a body that animates
to eat, to mate and to sleep. The human body itself is
a potential temple in which the triple Sun shines forth
through the triangle into the square of personality,
enabling the 12 aspects of solar energy functioning in
entire human system.
People move with much enthusiasm to pyramids of
Egypt, of Mexico and of Peru. They also move to the
ancient temples of India and eastern islands in Pacific.
They try to study the grandeur of their structures. The
inner consciousness leads them to visit and study these
structures which are basically in the form of a triangle
over the square. They feel impelled and are drawn
towards these structures due to the urge of the soul
to build the energy system in the body with its seven
principles (3 + 4, triangle and square). Today there is
also a movement to build a pyramid-like hut, enter
therein and meditate. They call themselves as pyramid
societies. Least, people realize that the pyramid is
within them. One can relate to the 4 cardinal points
118 Chapter 4

of East, West, North and South with oneself as centre

and join all the points at the top of one’s own head
and meditate. In this way one can build a pyramid
around oneself and meditate. The pyramid that one
builds around oneself through thought matter is much
more effective than getting into a pyramid of mud and
mortar.
The Pyramid of thought matter is much more
magnetic and electrical than the pyramid of dense
matter. Building thus, a pyramid around oneself
during sun-rise hour and sitting therein, to receive the
energy of the threefold Sun is a ritual by itself. Every
true Aryan does this contemplation during the hours of
dawn, dusk and mid-noon. Having thus contemplated
to experience the influx of light the mantra of Gayatri
is sung. Sitting within a triangular dome with a square
base is much more effective than sitting in a rectangular
or a square hall.
A temple is one where there is triangular energy
manifesting into the quadrilateral structure. Temple
enables continuous manifestation of subtle energy into
the grosser world. The square enables manifestation.
The triangle enables influx of energies.
Moses who was initiated in the Egyptian temples
was organizing tents for meditation with four poles in
four corners with a central vertical pole rising the roof
to be like a pyramid.
 Building of Houses, Temples and Pyramids 119

In the humans there is unity from the buddhic

plane upwards and diversity from the mental plane
downwards. When buddhi and mind are aligned, the
temple gets formed. The essential synthesizing and
unifying energy manifests via buddhic plane to the
mental plane; mind enables their manifestation onto
the physical plane. The whole occult work commences
from that point where there is alignment of mind and
buddhi. Buddhi represents the light of the soul while
mind represents the light of the personality. When the
two are united, the kingdom of God can be brought
onto the Earth. God walks as the son of God upon the
Earth.
Only when buddhi and mind are aligned, the
beauty of diversity is realized. Until such realization the
diversity presents complex situations and complicated
life. Mind enables perception of diversity. Mind has the
ability to analyse. Buddhi has the ability to synthesise
and perceive unity. Buddhi in relation with the triple
Sun can bring down the plan and with the help of mind
120 Chapter 4

manifest it on Earth. This is the theme of the masters

of wisdom when they speak of the kingdom of God
upon Earth. In olden times, humans were thinking
of individual salvation. They were withdrawing from
the world. The withdrawal from the world can be
seen as reduction of the rectangular hall into a square.
They were also dissolving the personality through
ascension. They ascended into the triangle and reached
its pinnacle and were annihilating themselves into the
omnipresent.
They also descend as per the divine plan rebuilding
the temple. The emphasis today is to stay in the heart
which is the meeting point of buddhi and manas and
concurrently conduct ascension into the higher world
and expansion into the surrounding through a life of
offering. In the Aquarian age this is what the Aquarian
Master refers to when he says, “Concurrent expansion
into all planes of existence and also simultaneous
existence in all planes.” Please note that when we
speak of all planes we are only speaking of the seven
sub-planes of the cosmic physical.
 Three Suns through 12 Sun Signs 121

Three Suns through

12 Sun Signs
The triple aspect of the Sun should be realized
through inner contemplation. The trinity represented
by the triangle is unity. Its manifestation through the
four cardinal points is its diversity. The cosmic, solar
and planetary sun energy functions as 12 sun signs in
the zodiac. Understanding the zodiac of 12 sun signs
and 3 Suns cannot be complete, unless their unity in
their triple aspect is realized through contemplation.
The triangular energies bring forth through number 4,
a manifestation of diverse universe.
The 3 Suns are present through the 4 elements to
form 12 Sun qualities in a zodiac. The zodiac is arranged
as 3 sets of 4 elements (of air, fire, water and matter)
as mentioned earlier. There are 3 airy signs through
which the 3 Suns are present. Likewise the 3 Suns are
present through the 3 fiery signs, 3 watery signs and
the 3 earthy signs. For an easy understanding of the
arrangement of the 3 Suns through the 4 elements, the
following table is helpful.
Suns Air Fire Water Matter
Cosmic Aquarius Aries Pisces Capricorn
Solar Gemini Leo Scorpio Virgo
Planetary Libra Sagittarius Cancer Taurus
122 Chapter 4

In the arrangement of zodiac we find Aries of

cosmic fire followed by Taurus of planetary matter.
The planetary matter of Taurus is followed by the solar
air of Gemini etc., as follows:
1. Aries – Cosmic Fire
2. Taurus – Planetary Matter
3. Gemini – Solar Air
4. Cancer – Planetary Water
5. Leo – Solar Fire
6. Virgo – Solar Matter
7. Libra – Planetary Air
8. Scorpio – Solar Water
9. Sagittarius – Planetary Fire
10. Capricorn – Cosmic Matter
11. Aquarius – Cosmic Air
12. Pisces – Cosmic Water
In this arrangement of zodiac there are profound
secrets, which a student is required to ponder, to dwell
therein and find the pearls of wisdom. One needs to
relate the 3 Sun centres in oneself with the 12 zodiacal
parts in oneself. By this work a student can realize in
oneself, the micro cosmos. The micro reveals the macro.
Man the micro cosmos, when realized, experiences the
macro cosmos, namely the cosmic man.
There are varieties of meditations that can be done
in relation to the zodiac. For example the triple fire can
be meditated relating it to head, heart and the higher
 Three Suns through 12 Sun Signs 123

muladhara. The triple air can be meditated relating it

to the forehead, the throat and the navel. Likewise the
3 signs of water and matter as they are located through
the science of correspondence in the body at different
centres, can also be meditated upon. One can work
out sextiles, trines, oppositions and squares, thereby
arranging a free flow of the triple energy in the entire
body of 12 sun signs. This requires the guidance of a
teacher.
Every sun sign in the zodiac contains the energies
of the triple Sun. For this reason astrology recognises
the 3 decanates of the sun sign. The first 10 degrees
of the sun sign are related to the planetary Sun, the
second decanate to the central Sun and the third
decanate to the spiritual Sun. By this division of a
sun sign astrology affords tools to know the evolution
of a native with reference to the planets posited in
the respective sun signs. If a planet is posited in the
first decade, the planet in relation to that sign offers
baser energies. If the planet is posited in the second
decanate, the planet offers refined energies. And if
it is in the third decanate it offers the finest energies
representing the cosmic Sun. The three decanates with
respect to every sun sign indicate the planetary, solar
and cosmic levels and the planets in those decanates
indicate the evolutionary level of the native. The 3
Suns thus function through at 3 levels in each of the
124 Chapter 4

zodiacal sign. Spiritual astrology thus makes a threefold

division of a sun sign, similarly a ninefold division and
a tenfold division of three degrees each to gain greater
detail of the solar energy presented through the zodiac.
Astrology indeed is an eye opener and is an essential
tool to unfold the profound ancient wisdom.
 The 12 Adityas 125

The 12 Adityas
Aditya means the son of Adithi. Adithi is the
primordial light. From the primordial light a centre
emerges, which is called Aditya, the cosmic Sun.
Aditya gives birth to Savitru, the solar deity, who is
of 1/7th effulgence of Aditya. The Savitru in turn gives
birth to Surya, the planetary Sun centre who is of 1/7th
effulgence of Savitru. Thus the effulgence varies from
the planetary Sun to cosmic Sun in a gradation of 7
times 7.
• Adityas are beings of illumination or light.
• The Vedas describe them as bright, pure as
streams of space water, free from guile and
falsehood, blameless and perfect.
• They are said to be the guards of light and of
sight.
• They overview with many eyes, as many as the
rays of the Sun.
• They move in the thin ether, akasha and
manifest through the 4 elements namely air,
fire, water and matter.
• They are considered 12 in number on account
of the interplay of the threefold Sun with the
fourfold elements as explained before.
• They are considered to be the upholders of the
laws of the universe.
126 Chapter 4
• They are the rulers of all beings.
• They uphold the universe, upholding that
which moves and that which moves not.
• They are the protectors, life givers, nourishers
and guardians.
• They even guard the world of spirits under the
ones, who guard the law.
• They are considered as the best exactors, they
illuminate the world driving away the darkness.
• They nourish beings and regulate relationships.
• They do not slumber nor do they close their
eyelids.
• The law and the righteousness emerge from them.
• They work as creators, preservers and even
destroyers.
• The 12 of them are given 12 names in the Vedic
system, which are copied in other theologies
like Zoroastrian and Greek.
Rulers of the 12 sun signs, the Dwadasadityas and
their associates are given here under:

4. As Varuna, he is in the waters.
5. As Indra, he destroys the enemies of the gods.
6. As Vivasvaan, he is in fire and helps to cook
food.

8. As Vishnu, he restores balance between divine
and the diabolic.
9. As Amshumana, he is again in the wind.
10. As Bhaga, he is in the body of all living beings.
11. As Pusha, he makes food grains grow.
12. As Parjanya, he showers down rain.
128 Chapter 4

The Prajapatis
To perpetuate seven races and the seven sub-races
of human beings, our Sun is assisted by Prajapati, the
Patriarch. The Prajapatis are 10 in number (also said to
be 21 in some other context). The work of Prajapatis
is to procreate and perpetuate beings, thus releasing
the latter into the creation, for their needed fulfilment.
These are born out of third Logos, Brahma, whose work
is to create. Creating the platform such as cosmic, solar
and planetary system is one work. Releasing beings to
dwell in these systems is another work. The creation
is made for the beings to experience and evolve. To
enable the beings, who slumber during pralaya, to
come into creation, the creator himself multiplied into
10 Prajapatis, who are again instructed to create and
procreate.
These Prajapatis come under the category of fiery
intelligences called Barhishads. They cooperate with
the creator to geometrically bring forth multitudes
of beings into creation in multiple ways. 10 of them
multiply in 10 rounds and 10 times to bring forth the
creation. “10 times 10 the wheel rotates” is an occult
statement that indicates the tenfold creation of Brahma
with the help of 10 Prajapatis.
These Prajapatis exist in the universe as brilliant
Suns, with their relative solar systems. As Suns, they are
 The Prajapatis 129

far more advanced than our Sun. 7 of them constitute

the ‘Great Bear’, while 3 others conduct from different
angles through our Sun. They guide our Sun. They
enable our Sun to manifest the tenfold creation within
his solar system. Through the sunrays of our Sun, they
even descend onto our planet and help the creational
activity. Their energy is represented on this planet, by
way of seers, who do move on the planet. These seers
are but representative energies of the 10 patriarchs.
They guide many solar systems including ours.
They not only bring down the beings, they also
bring them down in graded qualities. Depending upon
the evolution of the beings, they bring down beings of
10 different qualities. They are as under:
1. Beings of effulgence.
2. Beings that dwell beyond the triangular force
of dynamism, inertia and poise.
3. Beings of will.
4. Beings of knowledge, love and wisdom.
5. Beings of intelligent activity.
6. Beings of harmony and conflict.
7. Beings of concrete mind and intellect.
8. Beings of emotion / devotion
9. Beings of daily labour and work.
10. Beings of base mundane nature.
In all these gradations humans exist on the planet,
who are transmitted unto our planet, through our Sun,
130 Chapter 4

by the Prajapatis who exist as super Sun centres in the

universe.
Our Sun is also aided by the Sun of Sirius, through
whom hierarchies of teachers descend on the planet to
guide the humans for their evolution. Besides, Pleiades
also aids by playing the role of the mother to our solar
system and to the beings therein.
The universe is an intricate network. No
intelligence functions independent of other. There
is inter-dependence between the hierarchies and
brotherhood among all the various systems and
intelligences. From the cosmic centre up to us, there are
hierarchical relations, parental relations and fraternal
relations.
To think that our Sun is the monarch is true and
is also not true. To us he is the monarch. But he too
has his guides and parents. He is a member of great
fraternity of other Suns in whom there are many, who
are very senior to him and a few who are junior to him.
He has his place in the universe. He too is evolving
with the help of his guides.
So are we, who came through him. To feel that
each one of us is very independent is ignorance. To
act independently of surrounding energy and beings
leads one to bondage. One needs to know that he is
a unit of light and his life and activity is intertwined,
horizontally and vertically. To establish right relation
 The Prajapatis 131

in the surroundings one has to align vertically and

function horizontally.
It may not be out of place to mention that, a very
advanced Sun energy (far more advanced than our
Sun) arrived on our planet even during the second root
race (hyperborean times) to help the humanity which
is in its nebulous state on the planet. The energy visited
from supra cosmic plane via the hierarchy of Venus
and it resides today in Shambala. It is this, which is
referred to as Sanat Kumara. Sanat Kumara is supra
cosmic Kumara whose ray is posited on this Earth to
rule, to guide, to teach and to help humanity on this
planet. It is him to whom the hierarchy refers to as the
Lord of our planet. Imagine a Sun of the highest order
condescending to be on such an un-evolved planet of
our solar system. Our Sun himself is but a student to
him. He in turn stays on the most un-evolved planet of
our sun system. The ones who are most high reach out
to most insignificant and ignorant. This is the true act
of love of cosmic nature.
 Chapter 5
The Glory of Sun’s Chariot
Throughout the twelve months, the Sun God
travels in all directions with his six types of associates,
disseminating among the inhabitants of the Earth
purity of consciousness. These six associates are:

Sages: The sages glorify the Sun God with the

hymns of the Sama, Rig and Yajur Vedas,
which reveal his identity.
Yakshas: The powerful Yakshas harness the horses
to the chariot. They constitute the
benevolent energy of the sunray.
Gandharvas: The Gandharvas also sing his praise.
Apsaras: The Apsaras dance before his chariot.
Rakshasas: The Rakshasas push the chariot from
behind.
Nagas: The Nagas arrange the chariot ropes.
They constitute the imperceptible
movement that speed up the velocity of
the horses (sunrays).

132
 The Glory of Sun’s Chariot 133

The Sun releases the white ray which descends as

blood-red colour, orange, golden yellow, blue, indigo,
violet and green.
These 7 colours coming from one white ray are said
to be the 7 horses of the Sun, which transmit again, the
qualities of the 7 planes.
Master D K (Djwhal Khul) aptly translated them in
terms of their qualities as:
1. Will or Power
2. Love-Wisdom
3. Active Intelligence (Intelligence Activity)
4. Harmony through Conflict
5. Concrete Science
6. Devotion, Idealism
7. Ceremonial Order (Ritual)
Their original names in Sanskrit are given as follows:
1. Sushumna
2. Harikesa
3. Viswakarma
4. Viswastrayarchas
5. Sannadha
6. Sarvavasu
7. Swaraj
The 7 principles reach the Earth through the 7 rays,
which are but 1 white ray. It is but 1 horse that appears
as 7 horses.
134 Chapter 5

It is but 1 charioteer that manifests as 7. It is Him

that one worships in all the 3 planes, namely planetary,
solar and comic.
The ray wisdom was for the first time revealed to
the West by the hierarchy through Madam Alice A.
Bailey.
The 7 rays are relatable to the 7 centres of the planet
with their respective ashrams and adepts.
They can also be related to the 7 centres of the
human body. It is a magic wand of 7 that is at work
in all 7 planes of existence. This is poetically expressed
as the flute of Lord Krishna who plays through the 6
holes blowing through the 7th.
Imagine the 4 cardinal points of Earth joining each
other as a square standing on the point of Nadir.
 The Glory of Sun’s Chariot 135

This square stands on its corner (the point of Nadir)

but not on its side. This position of the square around
the Earth is called the chariot of the Sun, in one plane.
This chariot is drawn on 1 wheel by 7 horses.
“7 horses move a car of 7 wheels and 7 wise-men
mount it along with 7 fecund nymphs of water. The wheel
is never wearing. The wheel has 3 limbs (3 centres). It is
not only unweary but also undying. Meditating upon this
wheel one attains immortality.”
This is how Veda describes the threefold Sun
moving around the 4 cardinal points through wheel of
time with its 7 rays.
136 Chapter 5

Sun’s Grandeur
The rays of Sun are presided over by many deities.
Great seers come down to Earth through the rays of
Sun in a head-down position. Their gaze is ever fixed
on the Sun, even though they descend on Earth to
uphold life. They reside on the branches of the high
pippala trees in an upside down position similar to
bats, though comparing them with the bats is most
inappropriate. They keep blessing the surroundings for
the day. For this reason knowers look for right tree to
rest and to meditate. They are called Valakhilyas. They
are considered to be 60,000 in number. The 60,000
hermits were said to have been born to Kratu (the 7th
of the 7 seers) and his wife Santati. Each one of them
is said to be of the size of half of thumb, but they are
as bright as the blazing Sun and had attained control
over their senses. Their abode is the Sun himself. They
travel in front of the Sun in the shape of flying birds.
They are sinless and fulfil the divine plan in between
the 7 planes from Sun to Earth. They are the foremost
worshippers of Sun. They are the strength for the world
to stand firm. They are very ardent in doing the works
of devas (Gods). Valakhilyas learned the Vedas and
Sastras (scriptures) sitting in the chariot of the Sun.
These 60,000 Valakhilyas permeate the day dividing
the whole day into 60,000 units. They continuously
 Sun’s Grandeur 137

supply the energies of Sun unto the Earth. They stand

head downwards, invoke the Sun God through all
meters and transmit the related light upon Earth.
The Sun’s chariot is said to be drawn by 7 horses
representing the 7 rays. Through these rays the
Valakhilyas, the Sages (rays of wisdom), Yakshas,
Gandharvas (supra cosmic intelligences) who govern
the art of colour and sound, Apsaras (who are described
as the fecund nymphs of water) and Nagas descend.
We take the sunray for granted and engage ourselves
in our petty, selfish, mundane activity. We pay least
attention to the grand drama of descent of sunrays
with so many intelligences descending on Earth from
cosmos through our Sun. Imagine 60,000 units of Sun,
daily descending, followed by the 7 seers of wisdom,
Yakshas, Gandharvas, Aspsras and Nagas.
This imagination was sculptured a thousand years
ago on the east coast of India on one huge mass of
rock. It is called the temple of Konark. It means an
angle of the Sun. Arka means the Sun and kona is the
angle. Thousand years ago a king attempted to give
this dimension of Sun (stated above) in the form of a
huge rock temple. It is in ruins now, yet it is one of the
most popularly visited places in India by tourists from
all over the globe.
138 Chapter 5

The descent of the sunray is far more in grandeur

than the procession of any king or emperor on any
festive occasion and it happens on a daily basis.
The daily movement of Sun’s chariot is conceived as
a grand ritual by a sage called Dheerga Tamas, which
is enacted on the midnight hours of 22nd December
in tune with the winter solstice. Today this ritual
is conducted in a different fashion as ‘the birth of
the saviour’. As explained in the earlier chapters the
Sun God is the true saviour and the rays of the Sun
emerging from him on the first day of the Capricorn
(23rd December morning) are seen as the blood of
the saviour that saves the world. During the hours
preceding the dawn the ritual given by Dheerga Tamas
is enacted in the ashrams. Madame H. P. Blavatsky
presented in English, this ritual in her epochal work
‘Isis Unveiled’. It is reproduced in the appendix for the
benefit of the readers.
The story relating to Dheerga Tamas is the story
relating to the longest night from which point the
night recedes and the day progresses.
This ritual of solar initiation, speaks of the unity
of God and his countless manifestations. The hymn
explains that the Lord who is present, is the original
sacrificer. He exists in 3 states and has 7 rays. He is the
master of men and of the universe.
 Sun’s Grandeur 139

The hymn of Dheerga Tamas, is popularly known

as Suparna Suktam. It has 52 hymns in it. It is posited
in Suktam : 164 of Mandala :1 of Rig Veda. One of
the hymns out of this suktam is taken up by Madame
Blavatsky and placed in the book ‘Isis Unveiled’.
That hymn runs as under:
Sapta yunganti radham eka chakram
Eko ashyo vahati saptanama
Trinabhi chakram ajaram anarvam
Yatrema vishva bhuvanadhi tastuvu
Meaning:
Seven horses are arranged to a car of one wheel.
It is one horse with seven names that pulls the car.
The car has but three wheels (one within the other). The
wheel is never wearing and is eternal.
It presides over the seven planes.
He is but one (wheel) acting as three (wheels)
meaning cosmic, solar and planetary (wheels). He has
one horse which shines as seven horses, meaning one
light detailing into 7 rays and colours. All the worlds
hang around him, his chariot and his horses.
He has three forms of double nature. Double nature
means androgynous nature.
The Sun God is male-female. He is the synthesis of
Solar and Lunar energies.
It is him, the exalted men of wisdom, the seers
worship through Agni.
140 Chapter 5

Agni is the foremost of cosmic intelligences. The

Adityas are descendants of Agni via Rudras.
A student is recommended to visualize the whole
drama of Sun, his rays, and the varieties of devas that
descend, within himself, during the morning hours.
That is why the ritual further says that the Lord, the
Master of Universe, has entered into me………....etc.
The fruit which is as sweet as ambrosia is identified
with pippala (peepul) fruit (the fruit of Ficus religiosa).
The tree of Ficus religiosa is particularly worshipped in
the Vedic tradition. Its roots are soaked in water and
that water is daily drunk. Its fruits and leaves are eaten.
Penances are conducted under its shade. It is daily
circumambulated to realize the energies of Sun within
oneself, as self. The energies of pippala abundantly
assist in one’s practice of wisdom. The tress is also
called Aswatha meaning the tree that embodies the fire
of life.
 Sun –The Savior 141

Sun –The Savior

The charioteer (driver) of the wheel is called Aruna,
who is red in colour. It is his red colour that initially
inaugurates the day on Earth. The Earth is filled with
this red during the morning hours which vitalizes the
Earth and the beings on the Earth. This red colour
is symbolically called the saviour’s blood, the saviour
being the Sun. The four cardinal points are seen as the
four points of the cross, therefore the saviour is said to
be on the cross.
The saviour, through the cross, transmits seven rays
of which the blood-red ray is one. The blood-red ray
is the ray of will and also the ray of life. It is therefore
said that the blood of the saviour raises the dead to
life, nourishes life, protects it and causes the growth.
Attributing this eternal solar activity to Jesus Christ is
but a religious fancy, if not fanaticism.
Ever since the beginning of creation, the Sun energy
is seen as giver of life, of light, of love, of intelligent
activity and so on. At a micro level, every teacher who
is into the solar initiation also functions as a localized
Sun. It is the blood-red ray of Sun that saves life on
Earth. Without that sunray, life is not possible on
this planet. Religions try to glorify their prophets and
mislead the gullibles into a sect, thereby undermining
the grand universal principles that are at play.
142 Chapter 5

When the annual Sun transits through Capricorn,

he is said to rise from the Nadir and take to the northern
course. This coursing of Sun distributes ambrosia,
during the sun rise hour, to all living beings on this
Earth. For want of better expression, it is said to be the
spiritual wine. It is called Amrita in Sanskrit, meaning
the drink of immortality, which is considered to be the
sweetest of the drinks. Drinking sweet red wine is but
a poor substitute to assimilate the red ray of the Sun
during the morning hours of Capricorn. Drinking the
red wine in the evening is still more meaningless, for
the red ray is associated with the dawn.
 The Play of Light and Darkness 143

The Play of Light and Darkness

Upon Earth, there is the eternal play of light and
darkness on account of rotation of Earth on its own
axis, and also on account of its revolution around the
Sun. There are times of increasing light (day) and
increasing darkness (night).
We notice the longest day around 21st June and the
longest night around 22nd December. We also notice
the days where night and day are equal (21st March and
22nd September).
These four points in a solar year are considered as
nodal points. Around them Vedic seers conceived many
rituals and initiations relating to the Sun. These four
days divide the circle of a year into four equal divisions.
Each division has 90 days. Including the 4 nodal days,
the 365 days are appropriately utilized to experience
increased light, equal light and least light. Light is
but the consciousness which gradually increases to its
zenith and later decreases to its nadir.
There are points of birth of consciousness, its
growth to heights and its gradual reduction to reach
once again to the point of death for resurrection.
This drama regularly happens around the Earth in
every solar year. Rituals and initiations are conceived
on this basis and are enacted to experience not only
144 Chapter 5

highest point of illumination but also apparent birth of

consciousness and resurrection after death.
The quarter beginning from Capricorn to Aries is
relatable to the birth of consciousness and its growth to
zenith. It is followed by the second quarter from Aries
to Cancer, where the enlightened being retreats from
the highest point of illumination to his eternal abode at
the heart centre. The third quarter commencing from
Cancer to Libra is related to birth of souls into matter,
whereby through gradual growth of matter around the
soul, the light of consciousness is obscured.
By the time one reaches Libra, it is almost
obscured to be seen as death of consciousness due to
predominance of material. The month following Libra
is Scorpio, where consciousness experiences seeming
death for a rebirth during the fourth quarter from
Libra to Capricorn. It is only after such rebirth, one
is said to be twice born. The incarnating soul enters
into realms of matter in Cancer and experiences the
darkness of ignorance that leads him to death.
All these stories relating to descent of souls into
matter, decaying and dying are attributed to that
quarter of the year, which is between Cancer and Libra.
Death experience is attributed to Scorpio. Rebirth
is experienced in Capricorn while the preparation for
rebirth is attributed to Sagittarius. From Capricorn,
 The Play of Light and Darkness 145

there is gradual growth of light to reach the heights of

knowledge. In Aries, it is posited at mid-heaven.
The four quarters offer four initiations. Each
quarter has its own significance in the cyclic year. A
ritualist travels through all the four quarters of the year,
consciously attuning to the increasing, decreasing and
equalizing light and darkness.
For a mundane man, who turns into an aspirant,
experiencing the light within is of paramount
importance. To such a one, the months of Sagittarius
and Capricorn are of great consequence. In Sagittarius
there is the pre-dawn of light, while in Capricorn there
is the birth of light, called the dawn of light.
In a year, from 23rd November till 21st January, the
60 days are full of rhythm and ritual for release of light
from the matter. Matter imprisons consciousness and
the consciousness through rhythm and ritual gains its
own strength to enable a release from imprisonment
of matter.
Having gained the experience of light in Capricorn,
an aspirant proceeds further with ritualistic practices to
enable increase of light in the months of Aquarius and
Pisces, whereby, he reaches the mid-heaven, the highest
point of illumination. At that point he is exposed to
a second set of initiations, which would enable him
to join the plan of work, the plan that is eternal and
divine.
146 Chapter 5

Having assimilated such plan of work at the highest

point of illumination, he returns from Aries to Cancer,
settles in the heart centre and conducts the plan upon
Earth.
Thus the discipleship commences at the end of
Scorpio at muladhara, finds ascension on its way
through Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pieces and
Aries; experiences planetary initiation and returns via
Taurus and Gemini to Cancer and eternally works for
the plan helping the humanity and the planet.
This coursing of the mundane man to be a son of
God is filled with understanding of the ever descending
energies of Sun on a month to month basis with related
full moons and half-moons.
The journey from Cancer to Libra is the most
difficult path for the uninitiated. It is the story of
descent of soul into matter. Through Leo, Virgo and
Libra, the soul energy descends deep into matter.
Thereafter, the imprisoned soul lives for his belly,
meaning self-propitiation. Symbolically it is said that
the serpent descended down the tree, touched the
Earth and thereafter has been crawling on the Earth
by its belly.
It is also said in Masonic parlance that the verticals
turn into horizontals; that the pole has fallen; that
the man has become animal; that the vertical being
has become a horizontal beast. Acquisition of matter
 The Play of Light and Darkness 147

and material wealth has been the eternal pursuit of

the mundane man, which is but a horizontal activity.
Man, being a vertical, regains his original status when
he retreats from being horizontal.
Pythagoras speaks that it only takes 6 hours for man
to be vertical from being horizontal. It is very cryptic.
Horizontal to vertical is a quarter of a circle. When
the duration of the circle is 24 hours, a quarter of it
is 6 hours. Therefore he says six hours are enough for
a man to regain his status as son of God. The work
of every occult student is basically located between
Capricorn to Aries, the fourth quarter of the year. The
preparation is in Sagittarius. Sagittarius provides the
needed thrust and fire to aspire for light. Therefore
the journey has its prelude in Sagittarius. The rays of
Sun in Sagittarius give the needed aspiration. The ray
of Sun in Capricorn purifies and gives birth to light.
Aquarius leads vertically, while Pisces gives experience
of subtle light and Aries illumines.
In Sagittarius, one is advised to awaken two hours
before dawn and carry out ardent worship, besides
serving the fellow beings. In Capricorn, receiving
the blood of Sun into the four layers of the body,
the aspirant is required to purify the body, standing
in the form of a five pointed star. As one purifies the
five layers in oneself, the consciousness ascends from
the matter. Transmutation happens in Sagittarius.
148 Chapter 5

Ascendance happens in Capricorn. And in Aquarius

there is the transformation of man from gross to subtle.
Only the subtle one is fit to receive impressions from
higher circles in Pisces, which enable him to reach the
needed illumination in Aries.
Be it pyramids or temples, cave temples or ashrams,
the inhabiting students are given the knowledge of the
incoming solar ray and are given rituals to assimilate
those rays, to elevate themselves and thereafter to
alleviate beings from ignorance.
Let the light prevail. Let not the darkness of matter
engulf the light of knowledge. For due prevalence
of light, the apparent path of Sun is found to be the
eternal supporting pole. Until one holds on to the pole
of solar light, one cannot reach the solar pole. Hold the
pole and experience the soul.
 Preparation Preceding Meditation 149

Preparation Preceding
Meditation
The four cardinal points help us to hold on to the
pole. Students think that, if they meditate during the
hours of solstice and hours of equinox, they get the
hold of the light. But unfortunately it is not so. There
is a preparation preceding such meditation.
The preparation is for the preceding 90 days. 90
days of sincere preparation enable a couple of days of
initiation. One cannot just dump himself at the hour
of God and claim the enlightenment. It is said in the
ashrams of the masters, “90 days preparation, for a
three day initiation.” When time offers a particular
slot for enlightenment, students have to prepare for it
during the preceding period.
An astronaut cannot just arrive from market places,
for getting into the rocket, when it is being launched.
He is prepared over months before such launching of
the rocket. Even after his return he is not allowed to get
into market places at once. By market places, I mean
the mundane daily routine. He is put to quarantine for
a period after he returns to Earth. Similarly there is a
preparation and orientation for a likely enlightenment.
There is also a quarantine period after every meditation.
There was a colleague of mine who was following
the path of yoga imparted by my master, 30 years
150 Chapter 5

before I commenced. He had a deep longing to teach

and to heal. After my master’s departure he continued
with me, meditating daily in the morning and in the
evening. One day he questioned me, “I had been with
yoga, far earlier than you. How is it that healing and
teaching happen through you with much ease, while
nothing happens through me?”
This old colleague used to chat until the hour of
meditation and continued to chat immediately after
the hour of meditation. He used to chat of politics and
of real estate, up to invocation of the sacred word and
re-engaged himself immediately, after two hours of
meditation and contemplation. I told him several times
to prepare an hour before, orienting the mind, senses
and body for meditation. I also advised him gently to
maintain silence for a while after the meditation and
contemplation. After a few years, he felt the difference
in impact. He experienced peace in meditation. A year
ago he passed away. He stated, before he left, that he
should have practiced the preparation and orientation
for meditation much earlier and that he would do so
in the next life.
Group members arrive for meditation either two
minutes after invocation of sacred word, or just at the
time, or two minutes before. It is not enough if you
mark attendance on meditation. You cannot just drop
at the moment like a hot potato. If you do so, you
 Preparation Preceding Meditation 151

would be gasping for breath and your mind would be

tottering.
There is the need for preparing the body, senses and
mind to be quiet. In exceedingly quiet and comfortable
mood, one can gently invoke the sacred word, open up
oneself and wait to receive the divine energy.
While daily meditation requires such preparation,
to experience solstices and equinoxes, one needs 90
days of such preparation.
To experience the dawn of Capricorn the preparation
commences in Libra.
To experience the festival of Passover in Aries the
preparation starts in Capricorn.
To enable conscious descent into matter in Cancer,
the preparation likewise commences from Pentecost or
Gemini festival.
To stand free while surrounded by matter, the
preparation is from Cancer to Libra.
A student of occultism is one, who lives two parallel
lives. One is mundane, the other is subtle. The student
should make sure that the mundane does not interfere
with the activity of the subtle. Let not the subtle
practices be interrupted by mundane events. When the
activity of subtle, namely, meditation, self-study and
silent service gains strength, it overflows into mundane
life and makes the mundane life easier. The other way
is avoidable. Subtle life can expand into mundane
152 Chapter 5

slowly and gradually, but if the contrary happens, one

ceases to be a student of occultism. In subtle life, one is
proximate to soul light; the soul slowly takes an active
position while the personality concedes gradually to
the soul.
 Chapter 6
The Duality
Sun is the cause of day and night. The light and
shadow are caused due to Earth’s rotation around itself
as it rotates around the Sun. Duality therefore exists
on the Earth but not to the Sun. The night and day on
Earth are seen in the scriptures as the two ladies of the
Sun, namely queen of the night, Diti and the queen of
the day, Aditi. In truth there are no two. It is the same
sky that is bright at one time and dark at another time,
in relation to Earth. Therefore the Puranas say, “Diti is
but Aditi and Aditi is but Diti.”
The Puranas speak of many aspects of sky, in relation
to sunrays. Sun is considered as the onlooker. His rays
impact the surrounding space. The movement of Earth
around itself and around the Sun gives birth to variety
of colours upon the sky, which is naturally blue. The
colour impact on the sky is due to the sunrays and
Earth’s movement. From dawn to dusk the sky seems
to be displaying variety of colours which are relevant to
the ones on the Earth. The Sun is seen as the onlooker
of this phenomenon. Onlooker in Sanskrit is Kasyapa.
The ones who are on Earth that witness the play of

153
154 Chapter 6

colours on the sky are called Pasyakas, meaning the

ones who look from within to without. The Earth
in its rotation is impacted by the variety of colours
that surround it at different times in different parts.
Earth gets impregnated by these colours. Beings that
incarnate on Earth carry the quality of the colours that
are present at that particular time at that particular
place. Different colours have different impact on
incarnating beings. The Vedic seers named these colour
aspects of the sky with different names.
• When the sky is dark, it is called Diti.
• When the sky is of full of light, it is called Aditi.
• When the sky is red and fiery, it is called Kadruva.
• When the sky is pleasing and soft, it is called
Vinatha.
It is one blue sky which is apparently seen in
different colours by those on Earth. It is relative to
the Pasyakas. Though sky is one with its characteristic
blue colour, from the angle of Earth they see different
colours. Different races also emerged on account of
different impregnations on Earth of different colours.
The Secret Doctrine explains the Red Race, the Yellow
Race, the Brown Race, the White Race and so on.
The Earth is impregnated by the colours, stars and
constellations in different ways and different times
giving birth to different races, different species of
different dimensions. It is a topic by itself.
 The Duality 155

The seers gave different names to the sky from

the standpoint of Earth, indicating the colour and its
nature. In Puranas, therefore, Sun is attributed many
wives meaning many aspects of the sky from the
standpoint of the Earth. It is in this context that the
Puranas speak of the wives of Sun as Sangna (Symbol),
Sandhya (Twilight) and Chaaya (shadow). Even one’s
spouse is sometimes hard, sometimes soft, sometimes
dynamic and sometimes dull. We cannot say that one
has four wives. It is one wife who has many moods.
Thanks to Madam Blavatsky, she cleared many
misconceptions especially to the West.
Sun in relation to Sangna brings out beings of
variety of forms and lights. Sun in relation to Sandhya
brings out beings of light and darkness. Sun in
relation with Chaaya, causes shadow on beings which
is called Saturn. Saturn clouds from time to time the
comprehension of the beings.
When Saturn visits one’s Sun or Moon, he casts a
veil of shadow on consciousness and comprehension.
A man’s consciousness is guided by Sun and
comprehension is guided by Moon.
When Saturn, the planet of shadow transits Sun,
consciousness gets shrouded. It results in debilitation
and loss of health. It can also cause death.
156 Chapter 6

When Saturn transits Moon, comprehension gets

clouded and one does not make right understanding,
right decisions or right plan of work.
Imagine the Lord of light and life, giving birth
to energy of shadow (Saturn). You can also face such
situation and give birth to children. Note this nature
in seriousness.
Through Sandhya (Twilight) Sun gave birth to Lord
Yama (Pluto).
He is the demarcater. He marks the end of the day
and the beginning of the night. He also marks the end
of night and beginning of the day. He is the demarcater
who marks the end of life too. He also marks its
beginning. He is the regulator of the ring-pass-not.
All beings within the system are regulated by the
duality of birth and death. For the one who is born,
death is a sure prophecy. Likewise for the one who dies,
rebirth is a prophecy.
For acts of goodwill, expansion of consciousness is a
prophecy. For acts of evil, contraction of consciousness
is a prophecy.
Pluto sets limit even to the effulgence of Sun. The
Sun’s sphere of influence is circumscribed and limited
to this solar system. Circumscribing and limiting the
activity of every being is done by a cosmic principle
Vritra. He limits even the activity of cosmic intelligences.
He builds boundaries for all, the ring-pass-not (the
 The Duality 157

ring that cannot be trespassed). For the solar system

it is Yama. For the beings on the planet it is Saturn.
There is a hierarchy of lords that mark the end. A lot
can be spoken of Pluto (Lord Yama), but it cannot be
in this seminar. As Sun gives birth to Saturn through
shadow and to Pluto through twilight, he gives birth to
Mars through his red ray.
Three sons are said to have been born according to
Puranas.
1. The first son, Yama or Pluto, causes
demarcation.
2. The second, Sani or Saturn causes limitation.
3. The third, Kuja or Mars causes the force.
Pluto is the ring-pass-not for the light of the solar
system. Beyond that ring, the darkness of sky prevails.
Saturn causes shadow to the light, thus causing a
veil on comprehension.
Mars enables overcoming the shadow of Saturn and
also overcoming the demarcating line of Pluto, when
appropriately used. In this function, Mars is related to
Lord Subrahmanya, the cosmic son of Shiva. Lessons
on Mars, Saturn and Pluto are separately dealt with.
158 Chapter 6

The Number 7
The grand geometrician who is called Viswakarma
in Vedic terminology and Pymander in the Greek
system, proportionately reduces the brilliance of
cosmic Sun to bring down the solar and planetary Suns
and the related 7 planes.
• There are 7 planes of existence on Earth.
• There are 7 planes at the level of planetary Sun.
• Likewise, there are 7 planes at the central Sun
and as well at the cosmic Sun.
• From one to the other, the brilliance is increased
or decreased by the geometrician by 7 times. ‘7
times 7’ is the brilliance of Sun in his descending
and ascending order.
• Our Earth is at the 7th plane from above. It is the
densest of the seven planes. The dense matter
that we experience is but the 7th sub-plane of
the 7th plane, the last plane with least light. We
as humans are in this 7th sub-plane of 7th plane,
when we are mundane. Through yoga practice,
when we raise our awareness 7 times, we reach
our sahasrara, which is but the 1st sub-plane of
the 7th plane.
• Our scope of work is to expand our
consciousness from the 7th sub-plane of the 7th
plane to the 1st sub-plane of the 7th plane, where
 The Number 7 159

we can experience the touch of the feet of the

Cosmic Lord. For further details in this regard,
please refer to the commentary given by Master
Djwhal Khul in the preliminary pages of ‘The
Treatise on Cosmic Fire’.
When we reach our sahasrara, we reach the 1st
sub-plane of the 7th plane. Our work is limited to that.
When we speak of heart lotus, ajna lotus, we are only
speaking of those lotuses relating to the 7th plane, the
physical. Ajna is at the 2nd sub-plane of the 7th plane.
Heart lotus is at the 4th sub-plane of the 7th plane,
while the mundane man is at the 7th sub-plane of the
7th plane.
The systematized reduction in brilliance is attributed
in Puranas to the grand geometrician Viswakarma. It is
said that Viswakarma shaved the head of our Sun and
left only seven sprouts of hair, lest the Earth may not
be able to stand by the Sun’s light.
Matter and spirit are but opposites and their
agreement is concealed in Sun. Matter is the starting
point for ascent of consciousness into spirit. Spirit is
the starting point for the descent of consciousness into
matter. But the emergence of matter and spirit lie in
the spiritual Sun. The Sun is symbolically the ‘zero of
the space’ through which, passage of spirit into matter
and matter into spirit is conducted.
160 Chapter 6

Sun is the neutral point through which matter and

spirit emerge and take to different directions. It is but
interesting to note that Sun stands at the middle while
the male and female planets are in different orbits
around him.
Saturn, Jupiter and Mars on one side, Mercury, Venus
and Moon on other side bring in the related chemistry
for the manifestation of Earth. This arrangement of
solar system with Sun at centre is metrical and musical,
giving rise to 7 spheres, 7 scales of music, sound and
colour. The initiate Pythagoras to whom the number
7 was of particular interest explained in his teachings
the music of the spheres relating to the planets whose
source and resource is in the Sun.
It is amazing when one dwells in the perfect
symphony with which the creation is built; the
symphony vibrates as much in an atom as it does in the
cosmos. When man adapts to the symphony of Sun,
he realizes in him, the musical and geometrical beauty
of sound and colour in regular manifestation as Sun’s
creation.
This blackboard that we have for our class is
comparable to God Absolute, God Beyond. As I make
a dot with a chalk piece, your attention is drawn to
it. A dot or a point is by itself a circle with a centre
therein. As the centre emerges, its sphere of influence
also emerges.
 The Number 7 161

Just as you wake up, your field of activity emerges,

as if from nowhere, with you as its centre. As you wake
up, your sphere of awareness concurrently happens and
this awakening is symbolized as Sun’s symbol.

Each time you see a circle with a central point, it

is an emergence from the background, with a centre
and its circumference. If there is no centre, there is
no circumference. There cannot be a circumference
without a centre. Without you, your activity is naught.
You and your activity concurrently emerge, as you are
awakening from sleep.
When we speak of circumference, it is in all 360
directions and should therefore be seen as a globe, but
not a circle. Thus in space, globular light emerges and
from one globe to another globe, there would be a
methodic multiplication. The Veda says, “The unseen
swan lays eggs and from each egg, emerges another egg
in a series.” How many original eggs are there was
a question initially for the seers. The answer was,
162 Chapter 6

“As many as one can visualize.” A cosmic egg gives

birth to a creation. How many cosmic eggs were laid,
remains unknown. The Puranas speak that in the active
space there can be any number of cosmic eggs.
A cosmic egg gives birth to a series of cosmic centres
called Adityas (cosmic Suns). Each of these Adityas
gives birth to 12 Savitru centres and each Savitru centre
gives birth to 12 Sun centres. And each Sun centre has
chiefly seven planets around it. This is how the seers
have seen and recorded.
Thus there is a hierarchy of the solar energy which
is also called the awareness or consciousness.

It is planetary, solar and cosmic awareness emerging

from pure awareness, which is immeasurable, unlimited
and boundless. This boundless, unlimited and
immeasurable awareness is called the ‘World Mother’.
The name given in the Veda to this universal awareness
is Aditi. Aditi means the opposite of darkness. Diti
 The Number 7 163

is darkness. Aditi is the light that shines upon the

darkness. It is the basis for all creations to happen.
It is also called Gayatri, because its formation is
metrical and musical. It is the basis of the 7 and is
therefore called the 8th one.
• 7 are the musical sounds that emerge from it.
• 7 are the planes of existence that emerge from it.
• 7 is the key to the creation.
• 7 are the creative gods.
• 7 is the key to allegories.
• 7 are the chief principles.
• 7 are the rays.
• 7 are the seers.
• 7 are the tattvas.
• 7 are the senses.
• 7 is the mystical number of creation.
• 7 are the winds.
• 7 are the fires.
All that is 7, emerges from the background, which
is the 8th one, with metrical/musical manifestation. In
all the 3 planes, namely cosmic, solar and planetary, 8
are at work. 3 x 8 = 24. 24 are the syllables relating to
Gayatri Maha Mantra. We get back to Gayatri in the
future classes. For the moment understand that Aditi
is but Gayatri.
Gayatri is also called Saraswathi. It is called
Saraswathi since the pure awareness in its flow creates
164 Chapter 6

various planes of existence. The flowing nature of

consciousness is referred to as Saraswathi. Saraswathi is
but flowing consciousness.
In us too, the awareness flows through nadis and
therefore we feel the touch even up to the tip of the
toe, starting from the top of the head. The awareness
flows in all directions. It also retreats in sleep hours
only to reflow in wakeful hours. Its retreating nature
is called Savitri. It retreats but does not disappear. It
retreats to reflow.
Every sunset is a promise of the next sunrise.
The message of Savitri is that the light does not die,
but withdraws to reappear. That withdrawal should
not be seen as death. Death is but a withdrawal of
consciousness for a reappearance.
The pure consciousness expresses and withdraws in
defined periodicities in metrical and musical sounds.
It ever exists as the 8th one. It projects in 7 steps and
retraces itself from the 7 steps once again to be the
8th one. The number of eternity is 8 according to one
system of cosmology. When creation is explained with
the key number 7, number 8 becomes the number of
eternity. When creation is explained with key number
9, number 10 or 0 takes the place of eternity.
When we speak of sun energy, we do so with the
number key 7. Therefore 8 becomes the number of
eternity.
 The Number 7 165

The Indians speak of Krishna as the 8th child,

meaning the eternal One.
Likewise in the West, the Christ is referred to with
number 8.
In the Veda, Aditi, Gayatri, Saraswathi and Savitri
are all referred to with the number potency 8. Many
are the names given to the World Mother in the
Vedas; every specific function coming from this eternal
consciousness is given a name and a number. Seers have
given 1008 names to the Mother. All these names are
popularly sung in India, though their profound import
is generally not comprehended.
166 Chapter 6

The Double Life of the Disciple

The triple aspect of the Sun can also be presented
in the following manner applying the law of
correspondence. The physical Sun represents the
personality. The central Sun represents the soul
consciousness. The cosmic Sun represents the spirit.
They are regulated by the triangle of Sun, Uranus and
Neptune.
The physical Sun represents the multiplicity of the
universe. The central Sun represents the duality of soul
and spirit. The cosmic or the spiritual Sun represents
unity. Unity, duality and multiplicity are but the three
dimensions of the one. The Sun we see, veils the other
two and until we contact the heart of the Sun within
our heart centre, we can never understand the path of
the Sun in its true sense.
Occultly speaking, man has to contact within the
heart, the heart of the Sun. Within the cave of the heart,
the real Sun under whom our planetary light eventually
functions shall have to be contacted. When such
contact happens man lives a dual life simultaneously.
It is at this point, the spiritual life emerges from the
personality life. Personality life, guided by the physical
Sun, engages in the world of mundane activity. When
the central Sun emerges within the heart, another
subtle life emerges within the busy personality life.
 The Double Life of the Disciple 167

This dual life consists of outer and inner experiences

and situations. Gradually the outer life becomes an
apparent life, while the inner life becomes a reality
(even this is relative reality, until one ascends into the
cosmic Sun).
When the Sun in the heart is active, an aspirant
turns into a disciple. His outer life slowly coordinates
with the inner life and even gets regulated by the
inner light. This state is so to say, a dual life of soul
and of personality. The personality life tends to be
slowly subservient to the soul as the disciple gets into
advanced states of awareness. Initially it gives birth to
the conflict of duality. The personality life pulls one
into the objective life and the soul pulls into subjective
living. One influences the other until the personality
falls in line with the soul. The bull of personality,
influenced by Taurus, pulls the student into the world,
while the soul draws one into the depths of life to revert
the coursing of the personality.
The reversing of the life happens within the depth
of one’s own heart and this depth is symbolically called
the depth in Scorpio, the opposite sign of Taurus.
Scorpio is the fifth house in the reverse wheel, where
there is initiation for birth of soul. When the birth of
soul happens, the life goes in reverse direction. It is for
this reason Master DK in his book ‘Esoteric Astrology’
speaks of reversing of the wheel in Scorpio. But before
168 Chapter 6

that, there would be much testing on the related points

of practice.
Every point of practice must be seen as moment for
reorientation. A great struggle happens as between the
soul and the personality, and Scorpio being the sign
of triumph, one eventually overcomes personality and
stands in the light of the soul. The key note of Scorpio
is triumph.
The students begin to live in the occult way of life.
They translate the divine knowledge into daily life,
through thought, speech and action. It is in this
context, the planetary Sun is replaced by Uranus. To
the occult student, at this stage, Uranus functions
through Sun breaking the barriers of personality and
letting him into the light of soul. Concurrently since
the personality ceases from its limiting influence, the
light of the soul transmits abundantly into the
surroundings. The personality tends to be a soul
infused personality and therefore helps abundantly the
surrounding life. In still advanced stages, Neptune
takes the place to conduct a magnetic, artistic work,
the details of which can be found in ‘Esoteric Astrology’
and can be realized through meditation upon the
following triangle.
As the soul takes birth in the heart it develops
its activity, while the personality continues to do its
activity. The personality life activity is not interfered
 The Double Life of the Disciple 169

with. The soul activity is initiated when the personality

is in sleep hours. When the personality is at sleep
soul is at work and when personality is awake the
soul activity recedes and waits for an opportune
moment. Normally in a disciple, the day is utilized for
personality life activity such as family, vocation and
society while in the night hours, when the personality
is at sleep, the soul guided by the teacher moves out of
the body retaining link to the body with the thread of
life. The soul is under the guidance of the teacher and
thus works as per the instructions of the teacher. It also
learns along with the other disciples of the teacher in
the ashram of the teacher. Organising the sleep hours
is of consequence to the students of occultism. One
should regard approach to sleep as an approach to a
temple of wisdom in the subtle plane or as an approach
170 Chapter 6

into the subtle divine kingdom, where one stands the

possibility of meeting spiritual colleagues, teachers and
angels. A student is required to offer himself when
he tends to sleep to such a subtle activity. He is also
advised to invoke the assistance of the teacher. Under
the able guidance of the teacher, the student learns
many dimensions of light and also impresses himself
with the actions relating to the subtle life.
Just as man has a body developed for his personality
life, soul also gradually develops a body for soul life.
That body is generally a body of golden light. For long
years the student has a double life, one during the night
hours, one during the day hours. The student prepares
consciously for the subtle life as he prepares for the
gross life. In advanced states the soul life overtakes the
personality life, consequently one program runs in the
subtle and the gross. In other words the personality
life falls in tune with the soul life. By this the dual life
culminates into one life of light.
Uranus, the new age planet, is hastening this work
in humanity ever since its presence is recognized by
humanity. Uranus being a representative of central
sun system, he facilitates for the birth of Sun, within
the heart centre. The birth and the growth gradually
happen to the student. It is a planet of unusual speed
and therefore forms the body of light faster, when it
is meditated upon the heart centre. A sound key for
 The Double Life of the Disciple 171

such birth of Sun in the heart is given by the Master of

Aquarian age as CVV, which may be uttered forth and
listened to in the cave of the heart. By uttering forth and
listening to the sound, a process gets initiated which is
required to be observed for at least 15 minutes. When
this practice is regularly done twice daily, the students
would in due course of time develop the twofold life.
They would inaugurate a life of eternity within the
terminable life of personality. This is the immediate step
for the humanity and is therefore of great importance
to the students who would like to walk the path of
light through the practices of occultism. (Refer to the
author’s work titled ‘Aquarian Master’ and ‘Uranus’)
Neptune causes muse of the soul and gives
experience of unity. Lord Krishna transmitted such
experience of unity through the Neptunian music
which is produced through his flute. Lord Maitreya
conducts the Neptunian energies on the planet for
musing the souls into the unity of existence. Lord
Dattatreya is yet another great being that has been
conducting this work on the planet, ever since the
Lemurian times. The path of Dattatreya is even today
active. It is a path of absorption of self into super-self
and super-self into spirit, through the initiation by a
Guru of that system. The path remains mystical and
active in India. The one who follows the path given
by the Guru, goes through transformations beyond his
172 Chapter 6

own comprehension. But with Lord Maitreya the work

of Neptune is associated with the science of Uranus.
The work of Neptune emerges after the work of
Uranus. Every science at its zenith tends to be artistic.
The art form of science is represented by Neptune. Lord
Maitreya and the celestial sage Narada preside over this
path. The Neptunian muse enables bliss and ecstasy.
Events happen through the disciples in a very glorious
manner. Beauty, glory and instant wisdom, instant
actions are some of the characteristics of Neptunian
work. The touch of Neptune was received by Lord
Maitreya as an initiation from Lord Krishna, when the
latter was departing from the planet. Those who get
the touch, the muse of Neptune, are lifted up into the
eighth plane beyond the seven sub-planes of the seventh
plane of cosmic physical existence. They are engrossed
in music and dance on account of such muse. Lord
Krishna was lifting up the beings surrounding him into
this eighth plane through his flute music. It is called
Go-Loka.
 The Story of Savitri 173

The Story of Savitri

Mahabharata contains very many profound
allegories relating to this annual drama of light and
night. There are stories relating to Aditi and Diti,
the story of Savitri, the story of Garuda, the story of
Udanka and so on. The first canto of Mahabharata
is full of allegories relating to cosmogenesis and
anthropogenesis.
The story of Savitri is of particular interest. It
contains in it the birth and the resurrection of the
solar light with the support of the light, called Savitri.
The story of Savitri is contained in the 9th Canto of
Devi Bhagavata and in Vana Parva, Chapter 293 of
Mahabharata. The story is briefly presented here and
its import is explained.
In the country of Madra, famous in the Puranas,
there was a king named Aswapati. His wife was Malati.
Though the couple grew old they were childless. They
were worshippers of Goddess Savitri. After vows and
prayers for eighteen years the Goddess appeared before
them and granted a boon that a daughter would be
born. The couple returned to the palace and Malati
conceived and delivered a daughter whom they named
Savitri. The Goddess Savitri is the light one sees after
the sunset, which promises the return of the Sun in the
174 Chapter 6

morning. She is also the light that emerges in the East

before the sunrise announcing the arrival of the Sun.
Savitri grew up as though Lakshmi (the Goddess of
splendour) had taken an incarnation and bloomed into
a beautiful damsel. But nobody came forward to marry
her on account of her extraordinary brilliance and
beauty. On a new moon day she bathed and purified
herself and after getting the blessings of Brahmins,
approached her father. The king looking at his
daughter was delighted and in the very next moment
felt depressed that there was no prince fit to marry her.
He advised her to travel around the world at large and
to select a husband by herself. A per her father’s advice
she took the aged ministers of the king and travelled
through the forests in which hermits lived.
She returned back to the palace having gone
through the hermitages. At that moment the king, her
father, was conversing with the celestial sage Narada.
She bowed before her father and Narada. As soon as
Narada saw her, he asked with curiosity about her
marriage. The father replied that he had sent her in
search of a husband.
Savitri said, “I have selected the prince Satyavan
as my husband. He is the son of king Dyumatsena
of Salva. Dyumatsena became blind in his old age,
and taking this opportunity his enemies captured his
 The Story of Savitri 175

country. Dyumatsena with his wife and son left to the

forest and are presently living there.”
The king enquired Narada of the qualities of
Satyavan.
Narada replied, “Satyavan is as radiant as the Sun,
as intelligent as Brihaspati, as valiant as Indra and as
patient as the Earth.” Aswapati was immensely pleased
at hearing about the good qualities of Satyavan, and
asked Narada, if there was anything to say against
him. Narada said that he had nothing to say against
Satyavan except that he would die within one year
from this date.
The king felt miserable when he heard this. Savitri
said that she had accepted Satyavan as her husband and
that nothing could make her change her decision even
if he is not going to live more than a year. The king
conceded to the wish of his daughter and preparations
for the marriage were begun. The king went with
Savitri to the forest and saw Dyumatsena who gladly
consented to the marriage. Aswapati performed the
marriage and returned to his palace leaving Savitri
with Satyavan and his parents. As soon as Aswapati had
returned, Savitri discarded her ornaments and assumed
the dress suitable to the life in the forest and lived with
them.
It was nearly a year and the day of death of
Satyavan was fast approaching. There were only four
176 Chapter 6

days more. Savitri had taken a vow of fasting for three

days. Dyumatsena dissuaded her from taking to fast.
But Savitri persisted and obtained permission from
Dyumatsena. She completed the fasting. There was
only one more night remaining for the completion of
her vow. She kept awake for the whole night. The next
day, though she ended her vow she had not taken any
food. Dyumatsena wanted to know the reason. She
humbly said that she would eat only after sunset. As
usual Satyavan took his axe and started for fetching the
wood in the forest. Savitri also followed him.
Satyavan : “You have never accompanied me before.
Moreover you are very weak on account of the vow
and the fast. Given this situation, how can you come
with me?”
Savitri: “I am not at all weak by the fast and vow. I
want to come with you. I pray, don’t hinder me.”
At last Satyavan consented after getting the
permission of his parents. Both went to the forest to
gather fruits and roots. After gathering some fruits
and roots, when Satyavan began to cut some wood,
he felt exhausted and was sweating all over. He even
experienced severe headache.
“Let me lie down,” he said.
The axe fell from his hand. Savitri caught her
husband by her hands, who was falling down, and
laid him on her lap. Savitri saw a person clad in
 The Story of Savitri 177

blood-coloured garments, with red eyes and a noose in

hand, coming towards them. He came to the spot and
stood there looking at the body of Satyavan. Realizing
the person to be Kala (God of Death), Savitri stood up
instantly and bowed before him.
Savitri: “Lord, who are you? What is your object in
coming here?”
Yama: “Hey, Savitri. As you are a hermitess of
chastity, I may converse with you. I am Yama. I have
come to take away the life of your husband.”
Savitri: “Lord, I have heard that your messengers
come and take away the souls. How is it that you have
come in person today?”
Yama: “This Satyavan is a righteous man who is an
ocean of good qualities. Messengers are not sent, in the
cases of persons like him.”
Saying thus Yama cast his noose and fetched the
soul of Satyavan. Savitri saw the body of her husband
lying without life and soul. Savitri followed Yama who
had gone to the South with the soul of Satyavan.
Yama: “Child, you go back and conduct the funeral
for the body of Satyavan. You have followed your
husband as far as you can.”
Savitri: “I accompany my husband wherever
he is being taken. That is the duty of a wife. What
impediment is there on my way to follow you, when I
have the merits of vow, fasting, devotion to my elders,
178 Chapter 6

love and regard for my husband and the goodwill of

yourself, my Lord.”
When Yama realized that it was difficult to send
Savitri back, he asked Savitri to ask for any boon.
Yama was prepared to give anything except the life of
Satyavan.
She requested for the recovery of sight for
Dyumatsena (Savitri’s father-in-law). Yama granted
it. Still Savitri did not turn back. In order to dissuade
Savitri from accompanying Satyavan, Yama was pleased
to grant one more boon to Savitri. She requested for
the recovery of the lost kingdom of Dyumatsena.
Yama sanctioned that request also. Still she followed
Yama, who was ready to grant her a third boon.
She requested: “My father may please be given a
hundred sons who would continue the family chain.”
Yama granted that too. But she did not turn back.
Yama was deeply pleased with Savitri’s pursuance and
commitment and therefore granted the fourth and the
final boon.
She said: “I may be given a hundred sons of
righteousness.” Yama granted this fourth boon as well.
Then Savitri smiled and said, “O! Lord of Death, how
would I beget hundred sons of righteousness without
my husband Satyavan.”
Yama was pleased with her at her love and devotion
for her husband and returned the life of Satyavan.
 The Story of Savitri 179

Yama blessed her that she and Satyavan would live

for hundred years.
Yama disappeared. Savitri returned and sat there
taking the body of Satyavan on her lap. Satyavan came
back to life. Both of them rose up. Night came on.
It was dark. They could not find the way. Satyavan
wanted to reach their hermitage somehow. Savitri took
the axe and supporting her husband in the dim light of
the night, walked to the hermitage.
Dyumatsena got back his sight. He started with his
wife in search of his children and walked around in
the forest. At last all of them found each other and
returned to the hermitage together.
Then Savitri narrated them all that had happened.
Everyone was delighted. In the meanwhile soldiers
came from the kingdom of Salva to the hermitage.
They informed that a coup took place and the king
that dethroned Dyumatsena, was killed and his clan
ran away. They also informed that the ministers
awaited the return of Dyumatsena to re-coronate him.
Accordingly all of them returned to Salva. Dyumatsena
was anointed as the king of Salva.
This is a very popular story in India in relation to
transcending death and resurrection. There are chiefly
three characters in the story. One is Savitri, another is
Satyavan and the third one is Yama, the Lord of Death
(Pluto).
180 Chapter 6

Satyavan represents the Sun, who is but an

embodiment of the primordial light, Savitri. The
primordial light is all pervading light. It is omnipresent
and omnipotent. It is beyond duality. It is boundless
eternal light. Satyavan is but a Sun born out of it.
In other words, Satyavan is birth of a centre in the
unlimited space of light.
When there is a birth of a centre, there is a natural
separation of the centre and the consequent creation
of circumference. It gains an identity upon the
background. It separates from the whole. It develops
into a solar system, which is but a projection of the
primordial light through the Sun as seven (or seventy ?)
planets. Satyavan represented separative consciousness
distinct from universal consciousness.
When there is birth of Sun, there is a sure prophecy
that marks its death. Upon the background of eternity,
when there is a birth, there is a death too. When there
is an emergence the merger eventually follows. When a
wave rises in the ocean it is but for sure that the wave
eventually merges into the ocean.
Satyavan being a centre, it grows, stays for a while
and merges back into the source from which it emerged.
The birth, the growth, the bloom and the death are but
a cycle. There is time duration for everything that is
born. All that is born must die.
 The Story of Savitri 181

It is therefore prophesied that Satyavan dies

within a year, meaning within the duration of a time
cycle. When there is the birth of a centre, there is a
circumscription concurrently born. The circumference
is but a circumscription. It is the field of activity of the
centre. When a Sun is born, he has his field of activity
of light, which is but limited. The limitation exists in
all the 360 directions. It exists only when there is a
centre. It exists not, when there is no such distinct,
separated centre. The circumference thus becomes
the ring-pass-not, beyond which the light of Sun does
not travel. The ring-pass-not is a demarcation. This
demarcation is Pluto. As duration of life concludes,
Satyavan, who is but an emergence, must necessarily
merge. Every emergence suffers duality. Therefore at
the appointed hour the death must happen. It is the
law.
But Savitri, the unlimited, unconditional,
primordial light is associated with Satyavan. Satyavan
is likewise associated with Savitri. When the limited
consciousness is in ever continuous association with
the unlimited consciousness, the duality of birth and
death does not apply. Yama, Pluto cannot step in, when
Savitri is in association with Satyavan. If Satyavan is
disassociated with Savitri, he remains limited and
suffers death. Knowing this universal principle, Savitri
herself associates with Satyavan. She decides to marry
182 Chapter 6

him knowing fully well that Satyavan is destined to

die in one year. She accompanies him day and night;
she even accompanies him on the day of death to the
forest to ensure that he would not die. Eventually
Savitri wins over Yama. This is but natural. She is
omnipresent, omnipotent, unconditional light, which
cannot be circumscribed. The circumscribing principle
applies not to her. It also applies not to those who are
in association with such light.
The essence of ancient wisdom, the myth of birth
and death are well depicted in the story of Savitri.
When the beings emerge in creation, they have a way
to remain eternal by relating to eternity, relating to the
boundless, causeless light. That is how the Kumaras,
the 7 seers, the 14 Manus, attained eternity. The 9th
chapter of Bhagavad Gita gives this key, “Whosoever
lives in eternal link with the divine, remains immortal.
To such ones death is not, it is but changing the
vestitutes.”
The Sun of our solar system, thus is in link with the
central Sun called Savitru, whose other name is Savitri.
The central Sun in turn is in link with cosmic Sun.
The cosmic Sun is an emergence from the primordial
light, with which he stays connected. Hence none of
the three Suns suffer death.
We, the humans are but Suns, as units of ‘I Am’
consciousness. As we relate to the triple Sun and the
 The Story of Savitri 183

primordial light, we too stand eternal and suffer not

death. We consciously witness our departure from
this body of flesh. Science of yoga is meant for such
conscious departure.
Those who consciously depart, stand as guides
to those who wish to transcend death. It requires
self-imposition of a rhythm and submission to
certain procedures. By following the procedures, one
disassociates oneself from one’s body of flesh and blood,
and yet stays in it, just like the peanut in the shell,
which is dissociated with the shell and yet stays in it.
Even if the shell is broke open, the peanut stays intact.
It is like the chick in the egg that gradually forms itself
within the egg and separates from the egg shell. This
knowledge, its practice and its accomplishment is the
immediate initiation intended for humanity.
 Chapter 7
Sun – Triangles
It is also pertinent to note that in the cosmic 10th
house, Capricorn, Sun commences northern journey,
which is but a symbolic ascendance of the soul. In
this sun sign, the first decanate is ruled by Saturn, the
second decanate is ruled by Uranus, the third decanate
is ruled by Neptune. Uranus and Neptune have
significant roles to play in Capricorn, and therefore
the sign of Capricorn tends to be a sign of initiation. It
must be noted that Capricorn is again the 3rd house in
the reverse wheel and is therefore a sign for initiation
of the humanity. Capricorn consists of the potentials
of Aquarius and Pisces, whose rulers are Uranus and
Neptune. In the month of Capricorn, energies of
initiation are available from Uranus via Saturn. Saturn
is the dweller at the threshold. Saturnian discipline
shall have to be accepted by every student. As long
as there is resistance to the discipline of Saturn, entry
into the temple is not possible. Saturn is regarded as
the grand old Master, who tests the students in terms
of their patience, forbearance, tolerance, endurance of
injustice, waiting, absence of sense of disappointment

184
 Sun – Triangles 185

and delay and such others. There is no entry into the

temple for the impatient and irritating ones. Saturn
is at the threshold of the temple and sends back the
students until the students have learnt the Saturnian
qualities and have fulfilled their personality karma
appropriately. Students cannot approach the temple
without doing the needed homework. For this reason,
every master of wisdom sets a Saturnian program for his
followers to begin with. When the trials of Saturn are
withstood, entry is given into the hall of learning, later
into the hall of wisdom. Fulfilling the requirements
of Saturn leads the student to the energy of Uranus,
which inaugurates the life of discipleship. Capricorn
has in it all the three steps for realizing the Truth,
namely – cleaning the personality through Saturn,
expansion of soul through Uranus, musing of the soul
into universal soul through Neptune. After all, it is the
10th house. Number 10 is the number of fulfilment.
Availing Capricornian energies presented annually for
30 days is very strongly recommended to every student
of wisdom.
One can enter from personality life into soul life,
by appropriately utilizing the offered energies. For
this reason Master CVV utilized Capricorn as well for
initiation besides Gemini. His main work is to lead the
human souls into their antahkarana.
186 Chapter 7

To sum up, it is necessary for a student to find the Sun

within one’s own heart, which would be the beginning
for opening the door to eternal light. External worship
of Sun has not much meaning. Realizing the three Suns
in oneself is the true work relating to the Sun.
Apart from the triangle of Sun, Uranus and Neptune
mentioned previously, there are other triangles one can
work with in relation to Sun energy. One such triangle
is that of Sun, Moon and Neptune.

Sun, Neptune and Moon

This triangle opens doors into the holy energies.

Sun Trine, Moon Trine, Neptune enables experiencing
the beauty of the Neptunian splendour via Moon. The
Neptunian splendour is one of bliss, love, permeation
and of cool, and of ecstasy. Once one is into it, he is
 Sun – Triangles 187

unmindful of the surroundings and their impact on

him. It does not mean that one is lost from the world,
one remains in the world yet does not relate significantly
to the world. He transmits vibrations of love, peace,
poise, bliss etc., Beings long to visit him and be in
his presence. The one with these triangular energies
involves not into any activity in the world, including
the activity of teaching, healing, or conducting acts
of goodwill/service. Such ones remain where they are.
Beings come, receive inspiration and find their way to
the next step of progress. At times they may indulge
into music to lift up the surrounding beings.

Saturn, Sun and Moon

This is a triangle for discipleship. It has Saturn,

Sun and Moon. When Moon relates to Saturn, deeper
188 Chapter 7

understanding, accuracy and even intuition develop.

It would enable seeing and listening in depth and
stabilizing Moon, which is a major step in yoga. Moon
is wavering and fickle. Association of Saturn fixes Moon
and enables experiencing the light of consciousness
(Sun). This is a very fundamental triangle relating to
Sun.

Uranus, Sun and Vulcan/Mars

There is yet another triangle that can be worked

out as per Master Djwhal Khul. He calls it the triangle
of synthesis. It is Uranus, Sun, and Vulcan. Uranus is
the energy of this age (Aquarian age). Vulcan/Mars
stimulates it for man to experience the self and the
related synthesis. The work of Mars/Vulcun is the
work of action. It is called karma yoga. This is very
 Sun – Triangles 189

relevant in the present day world where the belief in

action is at its height. Mars stimulates action; Uranus
multiplies its speed by hundreds of times. In so far as
the action is for unconditional service, the student is
bound to realize the Sun energy, the soul. The secret of
the triangle is that Uranus pushes the action of Mars/
Vulcan incessantly. The mass of mind gets exhausted
and tends to be transparent or translucent to enable
experiencing of the soul. This triangle is referred
to by Master CVV, as “Miller form centre.” A miller
transforms every input of seeds into fine powder.
Likewise, the force of Uranus joining hands with the
force of Mars quickly transforms the personality to be a
translucent personality. The student experiences a total
‘washout’ of all undesirables in him.

Jupiter, Sun and Venus

190 Chapter 7

There is yet another triangle, which would enable

experiencing the splendour of the soul. It is Jupiter,
Sun and Venus triangle.
Jupiter gives expansion of consciousness, while Venus
gives the splendorous experience of expansiveness.
The ones who realize this triangle in themselves, can
experience a transcendental state.
When within this triangle Neptune is visualized
in the centre, it tends to be the highest state of muse.
This triangle is referred to as Gopala. Whenever Lord
Krishna played music, the combination of energies
relating to Neptune, Jupiter, Venus and Sun mused
the surroundings into an ecstatic state of joy, whose
other name is bliss. The triangle is aptly called Gopala,
for, Jupiter stands for the sound ‘GA’, Sun stands
for the sound ‘O’, Venus stands for the sound ‘PA’
and Neptune stands for the sound ‘LA’. Meditating
upon this triangle enables one to delink from the
surroundings and to link up to the music of the soul.
Working with the planetary energies, building the
related triangles is but an occult practice, which the
student needs to adopt, to realize the inner potential.
The student is required to intuitionally work out
as many triangles with the Sun as would enable him
to rearrange himself. Regular contemplations and
building triangles with the Sun elevates a student of
meditation and occult practices.

Favourable Days to Realise

I Am Consciousness
In a solar year, certain days are more favourable for
realizing ‘I Am’ consciousness than others. These are all
related to Sun’s apparent movement around our Earth.
They are as under:
1. The 52 Sundays.
2. The two days of solstices.
3. The two days of equinoxes.
4. The twelve days of Sun’s transit from one sun
sign to the other.
5. The 24 ascending and descending 11th moon
phases.
6. The 4 Sundays of the month of Aquarius.
7. The 7th ascending moon phase in Aquarius.
8. The 13 days beginning from Sagittarius.
9. The dawn hours of every day, with particular
emphasis on the 30 days of Capricorn.
Visualizing the golden light in one’s own heart
centre, during the above days, would help the students
in stepping into the golden light of the Sun, which
is called the buddhic plane. An ardent and fiery
aspirant may arrange his timetable in such a manner,
that he would make himself available for deeper
contemplations on the days stated above.
 Bhagavad Gita 193

Bhagavad Gita
In Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna presents this
dimension in the fourth chapter saying, “I initiated
the Sun God. Sun God initiated Manu. Manu initiated
Ikshvaku. The yoga thus reached the Earth. In due course
it got diluted and was lost.”
There are four aspects he presents, I, ‘Sun God’,
Manu and Ikshvaku. ‘I’ stands for ‘I Am’ consciousness,
which is relatable to central Sun. Sun God relates to
the planetary Sun, Manu relates to the light of the Sun,
Ikshvaku relates to the one on the Earth. Ikshvaku
is the king of Earth (the mind). He was initiated
by Manu (buddhi). Manu in turn was initiated by
the Sun, the planetary Sun. The planetary Sun was
initiated by the central Sun, I Am. Thus from central
Sun to Sun and from Sun to Manu and from Manu
to Manushyas (humans) the descent of yoga is given
in Gita. Contemplation on this would enable to relate
the I Am consciousness in one’s ajna centre. The place
of human or Ikshvaku corresponds to solar plexus, that
of Manu corresponds to the cave of heart, that of Sun
corresponds to the Sun in the heart and that of central
Sun corresponds to ajna. This hymn is chanted and the
related lineage is recollected before effort for alignment
in Himalayas. Even when people light a lamp this
194 Chapter 7

hymn is recollected. For those who are keen to know

the hymn it is given here under.
“Imam vivasvate yogam
Proktavaan aham avyayam
Visvasvaan mnave praha
Manur Ikshvaka ve abraveet”
Meaning:
“I, the eternal one initiated the Sun God, Vivasvata.
Vivasvata initiated Manu Vaivasvata.
Vaivasvata initiated Ikshvaku.”
Regular meditation associating with ‘SO HAM’ is
the practice. The practice has to be as continuous as
possible. May not the activity hinder your association
with the activity of pulsation happening in you. Let
‘SO HAM’ be related to respiration and pulsation.
 SOHAM 195

SOHAM
SOHAM has been an age old practice to realize
the triple Sun in us. Respiration and pulsation are its
wings. Each one can find within oneself five pulsations
(pranas), namely – inhalation (Prana), exhalation
(Apana), poised pulsation (Samana), up-thrusting
pulsation (Udana) and permeating pulsation (Vyana).
These pulsations conduct prana, the life force, in the
entire system. Inhalation functions from nostrils via
brow centre up to the lungs and the heart. It enables
inflow of prana. Exhalation functions from navel down
below and it receives the pranic energy from inhalation
and distributes in the lower parts of the body. It
also functions to expel the carbons from the body.
Appropriate functioning of this prana (pulsation) keeps
the vital body strong and resists disease and decay. In
fact digestive system and excretory system are under its
governance. Apana, the exhalation is the counter part
of Prana, the inhalation. When the two counteractive
forces of Prana are equalized, one can feel Samana
Prana, the pulsating principle, which resides between
the navel and the heart. As one associates with this
prana, one gains the poise. Gaining this poise is the
main work in the fourth step of Yoga, Pranayama.
When man associates with and daily resides in Samana
Prana, he gains a stable and comfortable mind. Samana
196 Chapter 7

Prana is the basis for Prana and Apana (inhalation and

exhalation).
One has to associate with inhalation and exhalation
to start with. As one consciously travels from the
nostrils via the bridge of the nose, tracing the path
of inhalation, he listens to the sound SO, which is
naturally happening in him. As one exhales slowly
and consciously, he listens to the humming sound of
HAM. The respiration thus regularly sings the song of
SO – HAM. As one regularly associates with inhalation
and exhalation for a while, breathing in and breathing
out, in slow, soft, deep and uniform manner, one not
only listens to the song of SOHAM, but also develops
a good vital body that resists sicknesses. Further it
enables him to gain a stable and comfortable mind.
When the practise is regularly carried out, one feels
not the need to breathe in, for a while. In that interlude
he experiences the resonance of pulsation which also
subtly sings the subtle song of SOHAM. Pulsation itself
is a centripetal and a centrifugal action, which subtly
sings the song of SOHAM. As one associates with it
one enters the subtle side of oneself. As one enters
into the subtle side of one’s being, one experiences
the golden light of the planetary Sun. Prolonged years
of practice relating to residing in the subtle pulsation
enables experiencing the first of the three Suns in the
heart centre.
 SOHAM 197

Further practice connects the third pulsation of

Samana to the fourth pulsation of Udana, which is an
upward moving pulsation. It leads the practitioner with
its upward thrust towards the throat, larynx and to the
bridge of the nose. The practitioner associating with the
upward moving resonance reaches the brow centre. On
the way, he experiences variety of lights from golden
yellow to sky blue via aquamarine-green at the throat.
From aquamarine-green he further experiences the
aquamarine-blue and the sky-blue. When the resonance
of pulsation is at the brow, the practitioner feels the
body very light and tends to experience a feather like
body during the meditation. From the brow centre to
ajna a bridge is required to be built with the help of
the resonance of pulsation. This happens through very
long years of practice coupled with neutralization of
one’s karma. When the bridge is built, one lands in
ajna centre, which is a representation of the second,
the central Sun. Even at ajna, the pulsating principle
continues to be and it associates with the fifth and final
pulsation, Vyana.
Vyana is permeating pulsation. It moves all around
and moves up to the seventh plane in oneself, where
one can experience the cosmic consciousness. Thus the
pulsating principle is seen as a great means for realizing
all the three Suns in oneself. It is this pulsating principle
which is symbolised by the great bird Garuda in
198 Chapter 7

Mahabharata, who soars high to the seventh plane and

beyond to bring down the drink of immortality, the
elixir of life. Throughout the journey from planetary
to solar and solar to cosmic, one is associated with the
bird. The bird is the means to reach the Truth. The
Truth comes down from higher circles to the lower
mounting on the bird whenever it is needed. The
practitioner, when he returns from sahasrara, returns
with the Truth along with the return of pulsation from
sahasrara to anahata. He transmits the Truth thereafter.
The science of Pranayama is a profound science
by itself and would be separately dealt with in detail.
Remember that the song of pranic pulsation, SOHAM,
literally means Saha Aham. Saha meaning That, Aham
meaning I Am. The continuous song of SOHAM sung
by pulsation and respiration is a constant reminder
that each one of us is not just I Am. We are That I Am.
Verily That exists as I Am, that’s the truth.
Let the trumpeting truth, ‘That I Am’ be associated
with, in one’s times of leisure, rest, sleep or meditation.
Relate to the trumpeting truth in the heart. Do not
deviate into the complexity of the concepts of wisdom.
Listen to the song, swing with it like a swan in the
ocean of light. May you be a ‘Hamsa’ (Swan).
Thank you.
 Conclusion 199

Conclusion
Much has been deliberated upon Sun, in varieties of
dimensions. His placement, his purpose and work are
also given. Pondering over the Sun and all that relates
to him is to educate ourselves and thereby gain right
relation to the Sun. Each one of us is required to relate
to the Sun in our hearts daily.
A Prayer: “That light which emits through Sun is
the light in the cave of my heart. I am that light. I am
verily that light. Verily, verily it is that light which is
in the sanctuary of my being. I am no different from it.
I Am verily That. That only exists as I A m. My existence is
no other than the existence of That. That light is eternal.
I A m but a ray of That. I emerge from That, play around
and eventually merge into That. That I A m shall be my
contemplation and attainment.”
Flow of thoughts in the above direction before every
meditation is useful.
‘That I Am’ is the truth that our heart trumpets.
When we listen to the sound of respiration, or to that
of pulsation, we listen to the voice of silence, that
voice sings a song. That song is SOHAM. It means,
‘That I Am’. ‘That I Am’ is the eternal song that
the heart beat sings. The pulsation sings it. Relating
to the resonance of pulsation enables us to join the
song, which is happening. Join the song. The song has
200 Chapter 7

a swing. It swings with its double movement, which

is centripetal and centrifugal. The pulsating sounds of
‘SO’ and ‘HAM’ which are heard by and associated
with in the depths of one’s own chamber, is what we
are. It links us to the triple Sun in us. As we relate to
the Sun in the heart, he leads us to the central Sun in
the forehead and eventually leads us to cosmic Sun at
crown. We need to join our Sun, and thereby realize
the three divine states of his existence in us, we being
the fourth state relating to him.
 Appendix – 1
Solar Initiations – Hymn
of Deerghatamas
Initiations are conceived through the triple aspect
of the Sun and are called the solar initiations. One
such initiation is given by Madam H P Blavatsky in her
epochal work namely, ‘Isis Unveiled’. Since she already
brought into public notice, I venture to reproduce
the initiation which helps a student of wisdom when
regularly studied and contemplated.
It is a fragment from the hymn of Deerghatamas,
Isis Unveiled [Volume 2, page 379].
The hymn by Deerghatamas:
“TO HIM WHO REPRESENTS ALL THE
GODS.”
“The God here present, our blessed patron, our
sacrificer, has a brother who spreads himself in mid-
air. There exists a third Brother whom we sprinkle with
our libations. . . . It is he whom I have seen master of
men and armed with seven rays.”

201
202 Appendix – 1

And again:
“Seven Bridles aid in guiding a car which has but
One wheel, and which is drawn by a single horse that
shines with seven rays. The wheel has three limbs, an
immortal wheel, never-wearying, whence hang all the
worlds.”
“Sometimes seven horses drag a car of seven wheels,
and seven personages mount it, accompanied by seven
fecund nymphs of the water.”
And the following again, in honour of the
fire-god — Agni, who is so clearly shown but a spirit
subordinate to the One God.
“Ever One, although having three forms of double
nature (androgynous) — he rises! and the priests offer
to God, in the act of sacrifice, their prayers which reach
the heavens, borne aloft by Agni.”
“The Lord, Master of the universe and full of
wisdom, has entered with me (into me) — weak and
ignorant — and has formed me of himself in that place
(the sanctuary of the initiation) where the spirits obtain,
by the help of Science, the peaceful enjoyment of the
fruit, as sweet as ambrosia.”
“Pippala, the sweet fruit of that tree upon which
come spirits who love the science and where the gods
produce all marvels. This is a mystery for him who
knows not the Father of the world.”
 Solar Initiations – Hymn of Deerghatamas 203

“These stanzas bear at their head a title which

announces that they are consecrated to the Viswadevas
(that is to say, to all the gods). He who knows not
the Being whom I sing in all his manifestations, will
comprehend nothing of my verses; those who do know
Him are not strangers to this reunion.”
This refers to the reunion and parting of the
immortal and mortal parts of man. “The immortal
Being,” says the preceding stanza, “is in the cradle of
the mortal Being. The two eternal spirits go and come
everywhere; only some men know the one without
knowing the other” (Dirghatamas).
