In the Vana Parva of the Mahabharata [Chapter 180] Yudhisthira explains:

satyam danam ksama-silam

anrsyamsam tapo ghrna

drsyante yatra nagendra

sa brahmana iti smrtah

Arthath:-

“A person who possesses truthfulness, charity, forgiveness, sobriety, gentleness, austerity and lack of hatred is called a Brahmana”.

Then again, in the Srimad Bhagavatham  Sage Narada states:

(7.11.21)

samo damas tapah saucam

santosah ksantir arjavam

jnanam dayacyutatmatvam

satyam ca brahma-laksanam

Arthath:-

“The symptoms of a Brahmana are control of the mind, control of the senses, austerity and penance, cleanliness, satisfaction, forgiveness, simplicity, knowledge, mercy, truthfulness, and complete surrender to the Supreme Personality of Godhead.”

Even if, a person does not have all the qualities enumerated above, if he has one vital quality that in the perception of his Guru, seems to be vital, then he can be considered as a Brahmana.

 And this is illustrated in the story of Satyakama and his mother Jabala. [Satyakama = He who loves Truth]👇🏻

Satyakama the son of Jabala addressed his mother and said: “I feel the time has come for me to go to the home of a spiritual teacher. From whom does our family come so that I may tell him when he asks my lineage?”

She said to him: “I do not know, my child.  You were born when I was young and going from place to place as a servant.  Your name is Satyakama and my name is Jabala.  Why not call yourself Satyakama Jabala?”

Satyakama went to Haridrumata Gautama and said to him: “Revered Sir, I want to become your disciple. May I approach you, as a pupil?”

Gautama said to him:  “What family are you from, bright one?”

Satyakama said: “Sir, I do not know.  My mother says she bore me in her youth and does not know my ancestry. She says that since my name is Satyakama and hers is Jabala I should call myself Satyakama Jabala.”

Gautama said: “None but a true Brahmana could have said that.  Fetch the firewood my boy.   I will initiate you. You have not flinched from the truth.”

“Satyakama” his teacher called, “you glow like one who has known the truth.  Tell me, who taught you?”

“Satyakama replied:  “No human, Sir.  But I wish to hear the truth, from you alone.  For I have heard from persons like your good self that only knowledge which is learnt from a teacher (acharya) leads to the highest good”.

Then his teacher taught Satyakama the same wisdom that was taught to him by the four beings other than humans.  “Nothing was left out from it; nothing was left out.”  Because, Brahmajnana can only be learned from a guru who is himself a  Brahma-jnani!!

I conclude this brief story of Satyakama Jabala with this quote from Sage Sandilya.  At the moment of death a knower of Brahman should meditate on the following truths:

Thou art imperishable.

Thou art the changeless Reality.

Thou art the source of life.

This highest knowledge is the Knowledge of Brahman. Sage Angirasa, to Lord Krishna’

Vajrasucika Upanishad 👇🏻

What is meant by the Brahmans?

Is it Jiva?   Is it body?   Is it class?    Is it jnana?    Is it karma?    Or is it doer of dharma?

To begin with: is jiva the brahmana?

No.

Since the jiva is the same in all of the many bodies obtained through the force of karma, therefore jiva is not the brahmana.

Then is the body the brahmana?

No.

Since the body, as it is made up of the five elements, is the same for all people down to chandalas, etc.., since old age and death, dharma and adharma are found to be common to them all, since there is no absolute distinction that the brahmanas are white-coloured, the kshatriyas red, the vaisyas yellow and the shudras dark, and since in burning the corpse of his father, etc., the stain of the murder of a brahmana, etc., will accrue to the son, etc., therefore the body is not the brahmana.

Then is a class the brahmana?

No.

Since many great Rishis have sprung from another castes and orders. Rshyasringa, Kaushika, Jambuka, Valmiki, Vyasa, Gautama, Vasishtha and Agastya. Of these, many Rishis outside the caste even have stood first among the teachers of divine wisdom; therefore a class is not the brahmana.

Is Jnana the brahmana?

No.

Since there were many kshatriyas and others well versed in the cognition of divine Truth, therefore jnana is not the brahmana.

Then is karma the brahmana?

No.

Since the prarabdha (The karmic affinities generated by us in our former lives, the fruit of which is being enjoyed in our present life), sanchita (The Karmic affinities generated by us in our former lives and collected together to be enjoyed in our future lives) and agami (The affinities generated by us in our present life to be enjoyed hereafter) karmas are the same for all beings, and since all people perform their actions as impelled by karma, therefore karma is not the brahmana.

Then is the doer of dharma (virtuous actions) the brahmana?

No.

Since there are many kshatriyas, etc who are givers of gold, therefore a doer of virtuous actions is not the brahmana.

Who indeed then is brahmana?

Whoever he may be, he who has directly realised his Atma and who is directly cognizant, like the myrobalan in his palm, of his Atma that is without a second, that is devoid of class and actions, that is free from the faults of the six stains (The six stains – hunger, thirst, grief, confusion, old age and death) and the six changes, that is of the nature of truth, knowledge, bliss and eternity, that is without any change in itself, that is the substratum of all the kalpas, that exists penetrating all things that pervades everything within and without as akas, that is known only by direct cognition.

He who by the reason of having obtained his wishes is devoid of the faults of thirst after worldly objects and passions, who is the possessor of the qualifications beginning with sama, who is free from emotion, malice, thirst after worldly objects, desire, delusion, etc., whose mind is untouched by pride, egoism, etc., who possesses all these qualities and means – he only is the brahmana.

Such is the opinion of the vedas, the smritis, the itihasa and the puranas. Otherwise one cannot obtain the status of a brahmana. One should meditate on his Atma as Sachchidanda, and the non-dual Brahman.

Crystal children and the Christ consciousness...

Christ consciousness” is a term which means different things to different people.

Some use it to mean the same as an ascended being, such as an ascended master or such as us after Ascension. The galactics often use it in this context.

Since the Fifth Dimension is the same as the Mental Plane on the spirit planes, it follows that it would also mean the state of consciousness attained by those who reach the Mental Planes.  But those who are in the Mental Planes rarely refer to themselves as having Christ Consciousness, which has often caused me to ponder this particular usage. (See New Maps of Heaven.

Some associate it with Brahmajnana or supposed “God Realization,” a state of samadhi attained when the kundalini or spiritual energy reaches the seventh or Crown chakra. At this state of enlightenment, the spiritual heart or hridayam opens but shuts again and the state of samadhi therefore is not permanent.

Others associate it with sahaja nirvikalpa samadhi, which is a more advanced state of enlightenment, visible in Ramana Maharshi and (I believe) Adyashanti.  At sahaja, the spiritual heart opens and does not shut again.  This is the level of mukti or liberation, not Brahmajnana.

Still others use it as a synonym for “perfection.” But there is no perfection short of mergence with God which comes at a level probably well beyond the highest orders of angels.  Paramahansa Yogananda used often to employ it to mean “the perfect man or woman.” “Christed being” is another probable example of this use of the term.

A few reserve it to mean an avatar or a descent of God into form. But if this were the case it could not be used for very many people and certainly would not apply to us, who are ascenders, and not descenders.

Some don’t use the term at all, such as Sri Ramakrishna, even though he was a great admirer of Christ and merged with him in one of his many spiritual experiences.

The “Christ” itself refers to the Light that we are – the Self, the Atman, the Buddha nature, the Child of God, pearl of great price, treasure buried in a field, measure of meal that leavened the whole loaf, or mustard seed that grew into a great tree.

The “Christ” is the “particle” of the Formless that is placed in the womb of Shakti, the Holy Spirit, who is the Divine Mother, mater, matter. (Note the Trinity here of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost or Brahman, Atman, and Shakti – or, for that matter, Osiris, Isis and Horus.)

"Christ consciousness" goes by many names like Budda nature and Krishna consciousness. They are still the same state of mind, they are just different names to the same thing.

Now we crystals coming from the 6th Dimension can unlock this automatically and don't need to meditate on it to keep it running... our vibrations are Devine so it just comes natural to us.

[srihariyoga]

All are children of God. He is the sole Lord of mankind. People may seem to differ in their names and forms, and in their beliefs and practices. But the parent is One alone. Recognition of this basic truth of oneness is Brahmajnana (Knowledge of the Absolute). This knowledge is not gained by studying the scriptures and holding metaphysical discussions. What has to be recognised is the truth that every being in the universe is an embodiment of the Supreme. Awareness of the unity that subsumes the diversity is the highest knowledge. Mere bookish lore is of no avail. All religions have taught what is good, and all should lead a righteous life based on this knowledge. If the minds are pure, how can any religion be bad? All the religions are different paths, leading to one and the same destination. All devotees should experience this truth and live up to it in their daily lives, setting an example to the rest of the world. Their devotion should not be artificial. They should adhere to the right path, lead righteous lives and thereby experience enduring bliss. Only then will their spiritual effort be fruitful. - Divine Discourse, Jan 8, 1988

PRANAVA THE LOST VEDA

Before going into details, let me introduce  the Progenitor of Vastu, a great sage, scientist, artist named Mamuni Mayan (between 10,0000 and 13,500 years ago) originated this ancient work, Vastu Science and Vaastu Science and Technology. He is also called Dakshinamurthi, Mayan is memorialized at these temples as Guru Murtha (the form of Supreme Master) and he faces South, from whence he came. Even today, Mayan is worshiped as “Supreme Guru” by enlightened persons. As per Saiva Philosophy, GOD Dakshinamurthy (literally means ‘One who is facing Dakshina or South) is an aspect of GOD Shiva as teacher or Guru of all types of knowledge. As Dakshinamurthy, Shiva is considered as the supreme iconic representation of the destroyer of ignorance and the embodiment of knowledge. In this aspect, Dakshinamurthy or GOD Shiva is regarded as the teacher of wisdom, arts, science, architecture, dance, music, and yoga.

Mayan lived on a landmass south of India, south of the present Kanyakumari, known as Kumari Continent or Kumari Kandam. This landmass was called Kumari Mandalam during Sangam days (a period of time in ancient history when scientists and scholars met and shared their ideas, literature, music, art, and scientific discoveries) and today it is known as the Lumerian Continent. This is thought to be the original home of the human race and human culture according to ancient texts.

In addition to the traditional building and manufacturing arts, under the umbrella of Vaastu Science falls the five Fold Science: Poetry, Music, Dance, Sculpture, and Architecture which correspond with the traditional science of Iyal, Isai, Natam, Kattidam, and Sirpam in the Tamil tradition. In Sanskrit they are called Sabda Veda, Gandharve Veda, Natya Veda, Sthapatya Veda, and Pranava Veda. They are all governed by a unique grammar of the science of Energy and Matter, Space and Time, and Rhythm and Form. The fundamental nature of these elements is revealed in the ancient text, The Pranava Veda. This is none other than the Science of manifestation. That is, the science of how the Infinite Energy (Vastu) transforms itself into matter or form (Vaastu). The Pranava Veda is the first Veda and the “source Veda.” This Veda was later on called the science of Vastu (energy) and Vaastu (embodied energy). Surya Siddhanta states that it is 'Brahma-samjnatitam-rahasyam', i.e, secret and sacred knowledge or Brahmajnana (last verse of SS). In SS,i,8 it is said that SS was given to Maharishi ('a great sage') only. A maharishi possessing Brahmajnana can be called a Brahmarishi

“eka eva pura vedo pranavha sarva vangmayha”

This phrase by Veda Vyasa, the compiler of the present day Vedas, means that there was only one Veda in the remote past and that Veda is called Pranava Veda – the Veda of the shilpis of India. Artharva Sheershopanishad makes mention of the term “Pranava” as being “ongara” – the all-pervasive substance.

Pranava Veda elucidates the science of Pranava. It is the scientific study of The All Pervading Substance. Pranava Veda presents the science of “how the invisible substance of the universe (paravastu) makes itself manifest in the visible material (Vaastu) forms.” In other words, Pranava Veda reveals the process of how the All Pervasive pure Energy turns into Matter or material existence.

The working pattern of the basic two aspects of Pranava (OM) – OM light and Om sound is the core subject of this work. The nature of Primal Light is analyzed in terms of visible rays, invisible rays, sparks and flames, which are constantly working. In inner cosmos and outer cosmos, the nature of Primal Sound is analyzed in terms of audible and inaudible sounds which go hand in hand with the Luminous rays and sparks. The Pranava Veda establishes the truth that there is the basic source of Primal Light, which emits trillions and trillions of luminous beams, which are classified into three – solar, lunar, and fiery. All the visible luminous bodies moving in the near and distant heavens derive their energy only from this Basic Source of Primal Light…The Pranava Veda speaks elaborately on the 64 square grid, micro-­‐abode, fivefold manifestation, five cosmic elements, the positive, negative and neutral interaction between the five cosmic elements and above all the unfailing total identity and correspondence between the inner cosmos (human body) and the outer cosmos.

The Aintiram – The Five Aspects

In Mayan’s deep, spiritual and scientific treatise called the Aintiram, the profound underpinnings of Vastu Science are articulated.

Aintiram is a multidimensional treatise on Energy and Matter, Space and Time, Order and Beauty. Absolute time creates life said Mayan in his Aintiram. He added that “Mathematics has its roots in the Time unit and Architecture is the zenith achievement of mathematics.” Aindiram is an embodiment of the subtle and penetrating theories of five aspects (Ain-Tiram) namely, Moolam (Prime Existence), Kaalam (Time), Seelam (Rhythm), Kolam (Form) and Gnalam (Earth). Mayan views the entire cosmic phenomenon in terms of these five aspects.

RECONHECENDO A UNICIDADE E O CONHECIMENTO DO ABSOLUTO (BRAHMAJNANA)

Todos são filhos de Deus. Ele é o único Senhor da humanidade. As pessoas podem parecer diferir em seus nomes e formas, e em suas crenças e práticas. Mas o pai é somente um. O reconhecimento desta verdade básica de unicidade é Brahmajnana (Conhecimento do Absoluto). Este conhecimento não é adquirido pelo estudo das escrituras e pela realização de discussões metafísicas. O que tem de ser reconhecido é a verdade de que cada ser no universo é uma encarnação do Supremo. A consciência da unidade que incorpora a diversidade é o conhecimento mais elevado. A simples tradição livresca é inútil. Todas as religiões têm ensinado o que é bom, e todos devem levar uma vida justa baseada neste conhecimento. Se as mentes são puras, como pode qualquer religião ser má? Todas as religiões são caminhos diferentes, levando a um e o mesmo destino. Todos os devotos devem experimentar esta verdade e viver de acordo com ela em suas vidas diárias, dando um exemplo para o resto do mundo. Sua devoção não deve ser artificial. Eles devem aderir ao caminho certo, levar vidas justas e, assim, experimentar a bem-aventurança duradoura. Só então seu esforço espiritual será frutífero.
