Cosmology A Universe with many worlds (a Multiverse) We see the world before our eyes, a world with its stars and galaxies and assume that this is the only world which exists. In reality, there also exist many occult worlds of varying gradations of consciousness which are invisible to our physical senses as well as our scientific instruments. A “world” in occult terminology is akin to an energy formation or a formation of consciousness, somewhat like a virtual world populated by beings of its own kind, where the laws of physics are more flexible and where the orders of Time and Space are unlike ours. Our dreams are transcriptions of travels and interactions in these occult worlds. After death, we cast off our physical body and withdraw into these occult worlds where we reside until the next incarnation. A Yogi who gains occult insight is able to see this vast structure of the Universe. It is precisely this vision which has been described in Chapter 11 of the Bhagavad Gita. Existence-Consciousness-Bliss (Sachchidananda) These three worlds are one in essence and are hence called triune. They embody the principles of Sat(Existence), Chit (Consciousness) and Ananda (Bliss). They are also referred to as the Satyaloka, Tapoloka and Janaloka. Supramental world Other names for the Supermind: Maharloka in the Vedas. Vijnana world in the Upanishads. rendered as Truth-Consciousness in English by Sri Aurobindo. The Supermind is the Creator of the phenomenal universe, of the lower worlds of Mind, Life and Matter. It is the medium for self-manifestation of the Supreme or Absolute. It applies some fixed truths, some limiting principles to shape the lower worlds out of an Infinite Consciousness. It creates multiplicity out of unity, differentiation and separation out of pure being. Three poises of the Supermind The Supermind has three poises which together result in the creation of Maya (Illusion) in the lower worlds: Comprehending consciousness(Vijnana) : It holds creation in Unity. This can also be described as the causal state (Karana Avastha) Apprehending consciousness(Prajnana) : The process of differentiation begins in this poise; it brings about the One in Many and the Many in One. There is separation between Purusha and Prakriti, subject and object, self and not-self but all are still parts of the one. This may also be called the state of expression (Karya Avastha ) Projecting consciousness (Avidya) : Further modification of the second poise so as to support evolution of a diversified individuality. Multiplicity in creation is now fully expressed. This may be called the state of full manifestation (Purna Vyakta Avastha)

One of the most commonly occurring symbols I have encountered in visions during deep meditation and in dreams as well as in synchronicities throughout my entire life is the skull and cross bones.

This symbol usually would occur after a death or right before death was coming, and each time this compacted correspondence from the realm of Maharloka would give me continuous unlayering of its direct meaning(s) and how it directly applies to my current circumstance with death.

The last time it occurred to me, was in a vision of three interconnected rabbit (symbol of fertility/rapid birth) skulls and three interwoven crossed bones underneath - only to find out a rabbit I had gifted to my ex had passed unexpectedly, along with two other deaths of close friends had occurred that day.. all whom would appear to me in visions recently after, as a sort of reinforcement of its intended meaning.

Anytime it appeared to me, it was soothing and comforting, which had at very first, led to a strong discomfort with myself as a child. I felt, "why am I so soothed by this symbol associated with death"?..

In general I was obsessed with death as a very young child and what was macabre/profane, which led to a source of distress and worry from adults - society as a whole has perpetuated this negative view of mortality and respectively the symbol of the skull and bones (symbol of poison) and the number 13, associated with the Death tarot card.. a testament to the intentional restraint - to disenfranchise us and our recognition of its true meaning by our world governments.. by bala and the asuras during the yuga we are in.

Over time, this symbol streamlined from the planes had its true meaning made crystal clear to me.

The symbol became less of a symbol of unwanted limitation and doom and more with birth within death.. our revealing of how we are the same and spring forth.

The symbol came to represent our actual immortality, and the death of perceived duality.. life is "but a dream", a "forgetting" of our unlimited nature, our over identification with the gross body.

It has become a symbol for the crossing of perceived opposites, denoted in the crossed bones.. for example, it represents the recognition and dissolution of all 3 gunas (sattva, rajas, tamas) as prakriti tattva and all from the one.. giving our true capacity for traversing the tattvas, as one would the qabbalistic tree.

The dark, the tamas, not of pure ignorance (though ignorance CAN come from darkness) and all three gunas are part of the perfection and means of true bhakti/devotion towards Siva.

As said in purushamedha:

“Now some people, some fake gurus, they tell you that tamas is ignorance. How stupid! It’s Sanskrit for darkness. Now this isn’t the bad darkness of ignorance – it’s the true darkness, the darkness of Sri Rudra, or Sri Sankarsana. The Srimad Bagavatam says that Lord Ananta is the very essence of tamas, so it can’t be ignorance – even to suggest it or joke about it is a terrible offence. No, darkness is primordial. It is eternal, it is true abiding. To love Krsna with sattva is to love Krsna with your mind. To love Krsna with rajas is to love him passionately. But to love Krsna with tamas is the most dangerous kind of love, because it’s innate love. Love that is deep, deep in your marrow. It’s deeper than your mind. It’s stronger and colder than rajas. It’s the love that exists when all your mind and emotions have dried up and blown away. Do you see?"

Astrologically, perhaps no other nakshatra is connected with death as rebirth than bharani nakshatra - ruled by Lord Yama.. who rules over naraka(hell), was the first mortal and the one responsible for spawning one soul into its next existence - which Is also why it's symbol is the yoni/vagina.

My Ascendant and Ketu(known for gifting spontaneous and easy astral travel and lack of boundaries from the higher planes as the headless planet) directly In conjunction in this nakshatra, along with the plethora of placements In bharani in my divisionals, particularly d9 and d60, where my atmakaraka jupiter and rahu are situated, in the same devata of sudha, meaning pure.. are placements I correlate with these series of visions.

“…a symbol of mortality and death. As the means for inciting the mind to contemplation… the skull and the crossbones are used in the Chamber of Reflection …”

– Albert Mackey (1807 – 1881), Secretary General of the Supreme Council of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite for the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States

“The Skull and cross bones are a continual reminder that the spiritual nature obtains liberation only after the philosophical death of man’s sensuous personality.”

—Albert Pike (1809 – 1891), eminent and influential Freemason

गतिर्भर्ता प्रभु: साक्षी निवासः शरणं सुहृत् | प्रभवः प्रलयः स्थानं निधानं बीजमव्ययम् || १८ || gatir bhartā prabhuḥ sākṣī nivāsaḥ śaraṇaṁ suhṛt prabhavaḥ pralayaḥ sthānaṁ nidhānaṁ bījam avyayam I am the goal, the sustainer, the master, the witness, the abode, the refuge and the most dear friend. I am the creation and the annihilation, the basis of everything, the resting place and the eternal seed. Gati means the destination where we want to go. But the ultimate goal is Kṛṣṇa, although people do not know it. One who does not know Kṛṣṇa is misled, and his so-called progressive march is either partial or hallucinatory. There are many who make as their destination different demigods, and by rigid performance of the strict respective methods they reach different planets known as Candraloka, Sūryaloka, Indraloka, Maharloka, etc. But all such lokas or planets, being creations of Kṛṣṇa, are simultaneously Kṛṣṇa and not Kṛṣṇa. Actually such planets, being the manifestations of Kṛṣṇa's energy, are also Kṛṣṇa, but actually they only serve as a step forward for realization of Kṛṣṇa. To approach the different energies of Kṛṣṇa is to approach Kṛṣṇa indirectly. One should directly approach Kṛṣṇa, for that will save time and energy. https://gloriousgita.com/verse/en/9/18 https://bhagavad-gita.org/Gita/verse-09-18.html https://bookchanges.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Bg-Chapter-9-diff.htm https://youtube.com/c/HearSrilaPrabhupada https://www.bhagavad-gita.us/famous-reflections-on-the-bhagavad-gita/ #bhagavatam #srimadbhagavatam #vishnu #vishnupuran #harekrishna #harekrsna #harekrishna #harekrisna #prabhupada #bhagavadgita #bhagavadgitaasitis #bhagavadgītā #srilaprabhupada #srilaprabhupad #srilaprabhupadaquotes #asitis #india #indian #wayoflife #religion #goals #goaloflife #spiritual #bhakti #bhaktiyoga #chant #prasadam #picoftheday #photo #beautiful #usa https://sites.google.com/view/sanatan-dharma https://m.facebook.com/HDG.A.C.Bhaktivedanta.Svami.Srila.Prabhupada.Uvaca/ https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn6F198oZtK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Vedic Cosmology; 3 lokas 14 bhuvanas

According to Vedic philosophy, our soul takes birth in different worlds (realms) based on the Law of Karma. The actions you do from the time you are born in any world to the time you die, your soul carries information, experience, learning valuables, and evolve based on that, vibrating at a certain frequency. Your soul’s frequency will match one of the realms where you will be born.

The Gayatri Mantra has been chronicled in the Rig Veda, in the Atharvaveda, Shiva Puranas and Vishnu Purana (Chapter 7) defines fourteen worlds (not to be confused with planets) seven higher worlds (heavens) and seven lower ones (underworlds). The higher worlds are the seven vyahrtis, viz. bhu, bhuvas, svar, mahas, janas, tapas, and satya (the world that is ruled by Brahma); and the lower ones (the seven underworlds or paatalas) are atala, vitala, sutala, rasaataala, talatala, mahaatala, paatala.

Satya Loka (infinite existence, universe himself); The top of the universe. Brahmanda, the Cosmic Egg, or the Universe. As per many Puranas, the Satya Lioka is the abode of Brahma, the God of Creation. Some Puranas describe Brahma as residing in a Cosmic Egg, the Egg of Brahma or Brahmanda. Vibrates at the highest frequency to anything that will be ever known. Longevity; His current age is 50 years 1st day which is 155.5 trillion human years which is the current age of our universe. God-Level: 100%

Tapa Loka (infinite consciousness, universal presence); 2nd highest part of the universe. At four times the distance, between the two last, lies the Tapo-loka (the sphere of penance), inhabited by the deities called Vaibhrajas, who are unconsumable by fire. Tapo Loka is described as 'greater than' or 'beyond' or 'above' the Jana Loka. It is thus the world of the Galaxies visible to us, including the Milky Way Galaxy. The inhabitants of this world of Galaxies thus would be people belonging to an inter galactic civilization. If the narration is to be believed, they are the deities known as Vaibhrajas who are unconsumable by fire. The beings who live here sometimes act as the bridge to connect the universe and sometimes act as a part of the creator itself. Longevity - from the time of reaching this realm till the time creator exists. God-Level: Between 1%–99%.

Jana Loka (infinite delight, observable universe presence); At twice that distance is situated Janaloka, where Sanandana and other pure-minded sons of Brahma, reside. Jana Loka is described greater than Mahar Loka. It thus contains the Mahar Loka, the world of the stars visible to us. The spirits / beings here have all the knowledge about every realm that exists above and below them, know about existence itself and the universe combined, but are still curious to learn more. They can travel anywhere in the universe at the speed of thought. They (Spirits) don’t even need a physical/any form to exist. They are more than aware (definition of awareness) and lost in the beauty of existence. Longevity - till creator exists. Lifespan - 3.11 trillion years. God-Level: more than 1%.

Mahar Loka / Realm of Heaven: (finite existence, start/reset: inter-galactic presence)- Above Dhruva, at the distance of ton million leagues, lies the sphere of saints, or Mahar-loka, the inhabitants of which dwell in it throughout a Kalpa, or day of Brahma. Maharloka is described as the place of saintly souls (as per Vishnu Purana ch 7) and is considered as greater than the Suvarloka (Heaven or Jannat where ordinary people's souls go after death). The souls of the Saptarshis (Ancient Seven Sages) reside here with a watchful eye upon the activities of humanity on Earth. The world of greatest saints. They are the powerhouse of the galaxy which makes the galaxy/local group exist. They are instincts of heaven. They fully understand the concept of one single soul called Brahman. Inhabitants of Mahar Loka will thus belong to an interstellar civilization. All of the 27 Nakshatras known to the ancient Indians too belongs to this Mahar Loka. Longevity - 3.11 trillion years. Lifespan - avg 4.32 billion years. God-Level: 10^(-5)%.

Svar Loka (finite consciousness, start/reset: galactic presence); Suvar Loka (The Solar System) The interval between the sun and Dhruva, extending fourteen hundred thousand leagues, is called by those who are acquainted with the system of the universe the heavenly sphere (Suvar Loka). Suvar-loka (alternatively Swar-loka) is described as regions of space beyond Bhuvarloka. Some description makes it a planet inhabited by the Devas with their king Indra. Some references make it equivalent to the Swarga (Biblical Heavan, Jannat as described in Quran) where good souls go (after death) to reap the benefits of their good Karma (good deeds). Some Puranic references equate Suvarloka to the Solar System. As per these the Suvar loka is consisted of nine sub divisions or sectors called; Druva Mandala, Sani Mandala, Brihaspati Mandala, Angaraka Mandala, Sukra Mandala, Budha Mandala, Nakshatra Mandala, Chandra Mandala, and Surya Mandala. As for the inhabitants of Suvar Loka, the Human Beings are one among them. The beings here are connected with a single consciousness that limits the possibility of any wrongdoings. It is believed all minor 33 million Hindu Gods live here. Lord Indra rules here. You are free from old age, diseases, etc earth realm worries, and pleasures. However, this realm is occasionally attacked by demons and devils who are jealous of the life here. Some Gods who live here - Vayu Dev (God of Air), Agni Dev (God of Fire), etc. You automatically land in heaven once you accept your non-physical existence completely and are so much in control of yourself that you are able to make new physical objects out of nothing. More like a minor creator. Longevity - 4.32 billion years. Lifespan - up to 306.72 million years. God-Level: 10^(-7)%.

Bhuvar (Pitra) Loka / Realm of Consciousness: (realization of existence, start/reset: solar presence); The air, atmosphere. The beings here don’t have a physical existence but need a medium to exist hence, can live in the air in the form of spirits. They are everywhere on earth and solar system and have to decide whether they are ready to leave the physical world forever and go to Svar Loka or come back to Bhu Loka and live one more life on earth. The beings who come back to the earth realm want to experience physical life as Earth is the last and therefore the most fragile form of physical existence. In this Loka, beings can observe everything - past, present & future of earth but in no way interact with the physical world. Longevity - 306.72 million years. Lifespan - up to 4.32 million years. God-Level: 10^(-8)%.

Bhu Loka (realization of consciousness, start/reset: planetary presence); The realm of earth. The region that extends from the earth to the sun, in which the Siddhas and other celestial beings move, is the atmospheric sphere (Bhuvar Loka). The 6th one viz. Bhuvar-loka is identified with Earth's atmosphere and sometimes with the space which is in the immediate neighborhood of Earth. In other words Bhuvarloka is the near-Earth space including Earth's atmosphere. This is the region where all the aircrafts fly and where all the artificial-satellites and space-stations that orbit around the Earth are situated. This region can re equated to the Geospace, the space dominated by Earth's magnetic field. Vibrates at medium frequency. The realm where attraction to the physical world is still relevant and existing and you can experience it. There are many planets with life that exist in this realm, earth being just one of those. This realm gives a balance between attraction and liberation, prophecy and spirituality. Life on earth is alive for just 12 hours of a day of the creator. The 12 creator hours can be divided into 14 Manvantara and each Manvantara has a total of 71 Yuga cycles. Currently, we are in the 7th Manvantara at the 28th Yuga cycle. Each Yuga cycle longevity - 4.32 million years. For simplicity, 12 creator hours can be divided into 1000 cycles of 4 Yuga.

Realm of Underworld (Unconscious Material World):

Atala Loka (finite lust, start/reset: sub-planetary/lunar presence)- The beings here are immortal, free from old age and diseases, and live a life that they ever wanted to live. Humans, during their early stages of development indeed lived in caves that went as deep as 1 km in the Upper Crust (Atala Loka). Several anomalies and submerged alien space-crafts and submerged-cities are reported as per UFO literature, as situated underground, sometimes beneath the oceans, under the bottom of continental lakes, underground cave networks etc. These are thus located in Atala (Upper Crust) and Vitala (Lower Crust).

Vitala Loka (finite ignorance, start/reset: asteroidal presence)- The beings here generally live longer and healthy life compared to Earth. From the success angle, even the richest on earth will be very small compared to the poorest of this realm. The idea of spirituality is lost here and people are in a never-ending race where at no limit anything is even sufficient for them to give satisfaction. A population of successful people all living a highly dissatisfied life.

Sutala Loka (finite ego, start/reset: sub-asteroidal presence)- The beings are turning evil to satisfy their materialistic pleasures. Right becomes Wrong and Wrong becomes Right. Needless to say, you do the right thing. There is nothing called spirituality. It is all about who gets the highest possession of materialistic pleasures and then calls himself God.

Talatala Loka (finite hallucination, start/reset: granular presence)- The beings here live a kind of similar life as of Atala Loka, the difference is, this time your soul is living in someone else illusion considered to be originating from you. Your soul is literally inside a prison now and completely unaware of it. This doesn’t mean beings won’t be living in a castle made of precious stones built above the cloud.

Mahatala Loka (finite fear, start/reset: molecular presence)- A world populated by Hooded Nagas (Hooded Snakes) who fear Garuda (Eagle). Also, a place where huge snakes suddenly and often appear from underground and anybody can be abducted and killed at any time. Every second is precious. Hence, beings live peacefully with each other. The world is full of imposters though.

Rasatala Loka (finite darkness, start/reset: atomic presence)- The home of devils. This is a world of constant war. If your soul doesn’t move to the above realms, there will be infinite times you will be born and die not a good death, over and over again for materialistic desires. Everybody hates everybody, be it even God. Even after having most of the treasure, life here will be in scarcity.

Patala Loka (finite illusion, start/reset: sub-atomic presence)- The darkest place of all the worlds. The deadliest of the snakes live here. Also, the Richest Realm keeps this world shining. Wore by Nagas themselves. It is perceived differently by different people. The most mysterious Loka of all. Gods say this is the most beautiful realm existing. Demons on the other hand couldn’t even speak what they experienced - like a shattered soul. Therefore, the above 14 Lokas constitute 14 worlds of Brahma (creator) as mentioned in Bhagavata Purana.

Some versions of the vedic texts state that good and bad deeds neutralize each other and the soul therefore is born in either a heaven or a hell, but not both, whereas according to another school of thought, the good and bad deeds don't cancel out each other. In either case, the soul acquires a body as appropriate to the worlds it enters. At the end of the soul's time in those worlds, it returns to the earth (is reborn as a life form on the earth). It is considered that only from the earth, and only after a human life, can the soul reach supreme salvation, the state free from the cycle of birth and death, a state of absolute and eternal bliss.

Your imagination is a reality. It is more attractive than Heaven Realms and in many religions considered to be a true definition of Heaven. However, this is like being locked inside one’s own imagination where after a certain limit, the path/guidance towards true meaning starts becoming desire. Imagine listening to your same favorite music, eating the same favorite food, talking about the same favorite things, etc. The one who wants to seek an answer comes to Bhu Loka. Since there is no pain or sadness here, the value of pleasure and happiness decreases over time, and after a saturation level, being relatively lesser happy than yesterday will be the reason to inflict pain to yourself unknowingly and this keeps growing if not checked. Since pain doesn’t kill, pain may become a new pleasure.

🌹 DAILY WISDOM - 203 🌹 🍀 📖 The Spiritual Import of the Mahabharata and the Bhagavadgita 🍀 📝 Swami Krishnananda 📚. Prasad Bharadwaj 🌻 21. The Person who Renounces the World is a Part of the World 🌻

Religions often have made the mistake of a transcendent ascent of the religious spirit, overcoming the laws of the world, facing God in the high heavens and preaching a renunciation of the things of the world to the extreme point, the breaking point we may say, until it would be not tolerated by the laws of the world. The person who renounces the world is a part of the world—we forget that, and there lies the mistake. The suffering of the seeker is due to a mistaken notion of himself in relation to the world outside. He has not yet become a part of God, though he is aspiring to be such, and the hands of God work through the forms of the world—that cannot be forgotten.

Just as the power of the president or the prime minister may work through a small official, and we cannot ignore this official merely by saying that we are not concerned with him in any manner inasmuch as we are somehow or other placed in an atmosphere over which he has jurisdiction, the world has jurisdiction over our individuality. The world is made up of several grades of density, to which we have already made reference. There are the various lokas—Bhuloka, Bhuvarloka, Suvarloka, Maharloka, Janaloka, Tapoloka And Satyaloka. The ascent of the spirit is through the ascent of these various densities of manifestation, the lokas; and we are in the physical realm, not in other realms.

Another Nakshatra system, the 28 Nakshatra plan, enters the picture when it comes to spiritual worlds. A hypothetical square with seven sets of steps on each side serves as a representation for this. Maharloka, Janaloka, Tapoloka, and Swargaloka represent each side. The name of this square is Chok or Jagannath. If one knows Orissa dance, which is based on Chok, they will know that it is a very spiritual dance.

There are 2.25 Nakshatras in each zodiac. That translates to two Nakshatras and one-fourth of the third Nakshatra after that. As a result, each zodiac has nine Padas because each Nakshatra has four of them. Nakshatra lords, often known as deities, are vital in defining the planetary motivation of inhabitants. To a certain extent, they alter planetary influences.

श्रीमद्‌ भगवद्‌गीता यथारूप 9.20 त्रैविद्या मां सोमपाः पूतपापा यज्ञैरिष्ट्वा स्वर्गतिं प्रार्थयन्ते । ते पुण्यमासाद्य सुरेन्द्रलोक- मश्नन्ति दिव्यान्दिवि देवभोगान् ॥ ९.२० ॥ TRANSLATION जो वेदों का अध्ययन करते तथा सोमरस का पान करते हैं, वे स्वर्ग प्राप्ति की गवेषणा करते हुए अप्रत्यक्ष रूप से मेरी पूजा करते हैं । वे पापकर्मों से शुद्ध होकर, इन्द्र के पवित्र स्वर्गिक धाम में जन्म लेते हैं, जहाँ वे देवताओं का सा आनन्द भोगते हैं ।. PURPORT त्रैविद्याः शब्द तीन वेदों – साम, यजुः तथा ऋग्वेद – का सूचक है । जिस ब्राह्मण ने इन तीनों वेदों का अध्ययन किया है वह त्रिवेदी कहलाता है । जो इन तीनों वेदों से प्राप्त ज्ञान के प्रति आसक्त रहता है, इसका समाज में ��दर होता है । दुर्भाग्यवश वेदों के ऐसे अनेक पण्डित हैं जो उनके अध्ययन के चरमलक्ष्य को नहीं समझते । इसीलिए कृष्ण अपने को त्रिवेदियों के लिए परमलक्ष्य घोषित करते हैं । वास्तविक त्रिवेदी भगवान् के चरणकमलों की शरण ग्रहण करते हैं और भगवान् को प्रसन्न करने के लिए उनकी शुद्धभक्ति करते हैं । भक्ति का सूत्रपात हरे कृष्ण मन्त्र के कीर्तन तथा साथ-साथ कृष्ण को वास्तव में समझने के प्रयास से होता है । दुर्भाग्यवश जो लोग वेदों के नाममात्र के छात्र हैं वे इन्द्र तथा चन्द्र जैसे विभिन्न देवों को आहुति प्रदान करने में रूचि लेते हैं । ऐसे प्रयत्न से विभिन्न देवों के उपासक निश्चित रूप से प्रकृति के निम्न गुणों के कल्मष से शुद्ध हो जाते हैं । फलस्वरूप वे उच्चतर लोकों, यथा महर्लोक, जनलोक, तपलोक आदि को प्राप्त होते हैं । एक बार इन उच्च लोकों में पहुँच कर वहाँ इस लोक की तुलना में लाखों गुणा अच्छी तरह इन्द्रियों की तुष्टि की जा सकती है । ----- Srimad Bhagavad Gita As It Is 9.20 trai-vidyā māṁ soma-pāḥ pūta-pāpā yajñair iṣṭvā svar-gatiṁ prārthayante te puṇyam āsādya surendra-lokam aśnanti divyān divi deva-bhogān TRANSLATION Those who study the Vedas and drink the soma juice, seeking the heavenly planets, worship Me indirectly. Purified of sinful reactions, they take birth on the pious, heavenly planet of Indra, where they enjoy godly delights. PURPORT The word trai-vidyāḥ refers to the three Vedas – Sāma, Yajur and Ṛg. A brāhmaṇa who has studied these three Vedas is called a tri-vedī. Anyone who is very much attached to knowledge derived from these three Vedas is respected in society. Unfortunately, there are many great scholars of the Vedas who do not know the ultimate purport of studying them. Therefore Kṛṣṇa herein declares Himself to be the ultimate goal for the tri-vedīs. Actual tri-vedīs take shelter under the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa and engage in pure devotional service to satisfy the Lord. Devotional service begins with the chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra and side by side trying to understand Kṛṣṇa in truth. Unfortunately those who are simply official students of the Vedas become more interested in offering sacrifices to the different demigods like Indra and Candra. By such endeavor, the worshipers of different demigods are certainly purified of the contamination of the lower qualities of nature and are thereby elevated to the higher planetary systems or heavenly planets known as Maharloka, Janaloka, Tapoloka, etc. Once situated on those higher planetary systems, one can satisfy his senses hundreds of thousands of times better than on this planet. -----

The Satyaloka is situated on the topmost part and is Her head; the Sun and Moon are Her eyes; the quarters, Her ears; the Vedas are Her words; the Universe is Her heart; the earth is Her loins; the Bhuvarloka is Her navel; the asterisms are Her Thighs; the Maharloka is Her neck; the Janarloka is Her Face; the Taparloka is Her head, situated below the S'atyaloka; Indra and the Devas and the Svarloka is Her arms; the sound is the organ of Her ears; the As'vin twins, Her nose; the smell is the organ of smell; the fire is within Her face; day and night are like Her two wings.

The four-faced Brahmâ is Her eyebrows; water is Her palate; the juice thereof is Her organ of taste; Yama, the God of Death, is Her large teeth; the affection is Her small teeth; Mâyâ is Her smile; the creation of Universe is Her sidelooks; modesty is Her upper lip; covetousness is Her lower lip; unrighteousness is Her back. The Prajâpati is Her organ of generation; the oceans are Her bowels; the mountains are Her bones; the rivers are Her veins; and the trees are the hairs of Her body. O King! Youth, virginity, and old age are Her best gaits, positions or ways (courses) paths, the clouds are Her handsome hairs; the two twilights are Her clothings; the Moon is the mind of the Mother of the Universe; Hari is Her Vijnâna S'âkti (the knowledge power); and Rudra is Her all-destroying power.

The horses and other animals are Her loins; the lower regions Atala, etc., are Her lower regions from Her hip to Her feet. The Devas began to behold Her this Cosmic (Virâta) appearance with eyes, wide awake, with wonder. Thousands of fiery rays emitted from Her form; She began to lick the whole universe with Her lips; the two rows of teeth began to make horrible sounds; fires came out from Her eyes; various weapons were seen in Her hands; and the Brâhmanas and Ksattriyas are become the food cf that Awful Deity.

Thousands of heads, eyes and feet were seen in that form. Crores of Suns, crores of lightnings flashes, mingled there. Horrible, Awful, That appearance looked terrific to the eyes, heart and mind. The Devas thus beheld and began to utter cries of horror and consternation; their hearts trembled and they were caught with immoveable senselessness.

"Here is the Devî, our Mother and Preserver." this ides vanished away at once from their minds.

The Devi Gita, or, The Song of the Goddess

[kailasaslovenia]

"When you decide ferociously with super-determinism to face your highest possibility which is clicking with you, you manifest / face yourself spontaneously in MAHARLOKA.

If my description of My higher possibilities ( eg, enlightenment experience ) click with you ( this is possible for me too ! ) , 'that' is your 'SELF' in MAHARLOKA."

The Avatar Nithyananda Paramashivam

Chapter 8

Part 2

How and when death happens are discussed in detail in this chapter.

A child can be born through ' yoni ' or 'nabhi'- normal and caesarean delivery.

If your prana is,focussed in between eyebrows then you can attain Urdhvagati.When prana exits through the muladhara at the time of death,then the soul go towards Adhogati.The former is higher realm and latter the lower realms of existence.

Kapalkriya ( skull shattered physically) was practised in ancients times to allow prana leave through the head,brahmarandra.

Prana will never leave through rectum for a yogi/devotee.

Through yoga and pranayama purify the nadis to attain Urdhvagati.Adevotee with strong and centred mind,not caught up in greed and selfish thoughts ( l,Me,Mine).When there is greed there is no devotion.

Focusing all the prana between eyebrows and thinking of only the Supreme power one can unite with God/ Purusha.

Learn to get control over all to nine doors in body (rectum, genitals,mouth,ears,nostrils,eyes).

Then you will be happy.Even if one is not under control there is restlessness

We are not stable.

Centre the mind in heart while practicing yoga.Fix all your prana, attention to top of head- Yoga dharana

Here Krishna suggests two methods of dharana ( attention to heart/top of head)

Krishna not only clarifies but,also confuses and creates doubts.

The sound closest to the Brahman is Om.

Again He says to attain the Supreme, one has to do Yoga dharana, chant Om and remember Him with devotion at the time of leaving physical body.

Here ' Me' is not the form.It is the Pure and Infinite Consciousness.He simplifies,and tells,Arjuna to remember 'Him'

Maharshi Patanjali says incase you find difficult to meditate, remember a Yogi who is free from craving and aversion.

Those who are not distracted by worldly things,and fully focussed only on Krishna with devotion for them attaining the Supreme is a play.

That also means one who is content.

Such a yogi does not take rebirth.If at all he wants to ut can be of free will.

There are numerous worlds in Creation. It is,said Anantavaya Loka.One is Brahmalokaand in between earth and this there are many other worlds.A person can exist in 5 different worlds.This is so mysterious.

A Chaturyuga is a set of 4 yugas- Satyuga,Tretayuga,

Dwaparyuga,Kaliyuga.

Duration of,Kaliyuga - 4,32,000 years.

1year on Jupiter is 12 years on earth.1 year on Saturn is,30 years on earth.If you weigh 100 kilos you will be apprx 16 k on moon.

Scientists say that our brain is frequency analyser.

Like whichever frequency you tune your radio you get that particular station( BBC/AIR etc).You can tune your brain to different worlds- Bhuvarloka,Swarloka,Maharloka,Janaloka,Tapaloka,Satyaloka and then

Brahmaloka.Then there is Devaloka and Pitrloka.When a person dies his soul just goes into another dimension.

When there is day in Brahmaloka then all souls manifests here and when it is night there then souls disappear

Krishna is the self illumined,ever radiant,Supreme Consciousness.One who attains Him has no rebirth.

Krishna addresses Purusha as third person ( that Purusha) first person (I am Purusha/ Brahman) and second person( your nature is,Brahman)

With one pointed devotion can take you to the Supreme.

This consciousness is present in all living beings and,all living beings reside in it.

That is why Gurudev says

" See the one in everything and see everything as the one Divinity"

Krishna tells another great secret

'What actions make us reincarnate and how and when one should leave the body so as to ensure no further rebirth'

The devloka,and pitrloka are in our right and left nostrils.The right nadi is suryanadi( pingala) and the left is chandranadi(ida)

When one sets foot to travel with left nadi active will tend to travel linger time but will return home.

With suryanadi active you tend to travel short distance only.

Vedic Cosmology; 3 lokas 14 bhuvanas

According to Vedic philosophy, our soul takes birth in different worlds (realms) based on the Law of Karma. The actions you do from the time you are born in any world to the time you die, your soul carries information, experience, learning valuables, and evolve based on that, vibrating at a certain frequency. Your soul’s frequency will match one of the realms where you will be born.

The Gayatri Mantra has been chronicled in the Rig Veda, in the Atharvaveda, Shiva Puranas and Vishnu Purana (Chapter 7) defines fourteen worlds (not to be confused with planets) seven higher worlds (heavens) and seven lower ones (underworlds). The higher worlds are the seven vyahrtis, viz. bhu, bhuvas, svar, mahas, janas, tapas, and satya (the world that is ruled by Brahma); and the lower ones (the seven underworlds or paatalas) are atala, vitala, sutala, rasaataala, talatala, mahaatala, paatala.

Satya Loka (infinite existence, universe himself); The top of the universe. Brahmanda, the Cosmic Egg, or the Universe. As per many Puranas, the Satya Lioka is the abode of Brahma, the God of Creation. Some Puranas describe Brahma as residing in a Cosmic Egg, the Egg of Brahma or Brahmanda. Vibrates at the highest frequency to anything that will be ever known. Longevity; His current age is 50 years 1st day which is 155.5 trillion human years which is the current age of our universe. God-Level: 100%

Tapa Loka (infinite consciousness, universal presence); 2nd highest part of the universe. At four times the distance, between the two last, lies the Tapo-loka (the sphere of penance), inhabited by the deities called Vaibhrajas, who are unconsumable by fire. Tapo Loka is described as 'greater than' or 'beyond' or 'above' the Jana Loka. It is thus the world of the Galaxies visible to us, including the Milky Way Galaxy. The inhabitants of this world of Galaxies thus would be people belonging to an inter galactic civilization. If the narration is to be believed, they are the deities known as Vaibhrajas who are unconsumable by fire. The beings who live here sometimes act as the bridge to connect the universe and sometimes act as a part of the creator itself. Longevity - from the time of reaching this realm till the time creator exists. God-Level: Between 1%–99%.

Jana Loka (infinite delight, observable universe presence); At twice that distance is situated Janaloka, where Sanandana and other pure-minded sons of Brahma, reside. Jana Loka is described greater than Mahar Loka. It thus contains the Mahar Loka, the world of the stars visible to us. The spirits / beings here have all the knowledge about every realm that exists above and below them, know about existence itself and the universe combined, but are still curious to learn more. They can travel anywhere in the universe at the speed of thought. They (Spirits) don’t even need a physical/any form to exist. They are more than aware (definition of awareness) and lost in the beauty of existence. Longevity - till creator exists. Lifespan - 3.11 trillion years. God-Level: more than 1%.

Mahar Loka / Realm of Heaven: (finite existence, start/reset: inter-galactic presence)- Above Dhruva, at the distance of ton million leagues, lies the sphere of saints, or Mahar-loka, the inhabitants of which dwell in it throughout a Kalpa, or day of Brahma. Maharloka is described as the place of saintly souls (as per Vishnu Purana ch 7) and is considered as greater than the Suvarloka (Heaven or Jannat where ordinary people's souls go after death). The souls of the Saptarshis (Ancient Seven Sages) reside here with a watchful eye upon the activities of humanity on Earth. The world of greatest saints. They are the powerhouse of the galaxy which makes the galaxy/local group exist. They are instincts of heaven. They fully understand the concept of one single soul called Brahman. Inhabitants of Mahar Loka will thus belong to an interstellar civilization. All of the 27 Nakshatras known to the ancient Indians too belongs to this Mahar Loka. Longevity - 3.11 trillion years. Lifespan - avg 4.32 billion years. God-Level: 10^(-5)%.

Svar Loka (finite consciousness, start/reset: galactic presence); Suvar Loka (The Solar System) The interval between the sun and Dhruva, extending fourteen hundred thousand leagues, is called by those who are acquainted with the system of the universe the heavenly sphere (Suvar Loka). Suvar-loka (alternatively Swar-loka) is described as regions of space beyond Bhuvarloka. Some description makes it a planet inhabited by the Devas with their king Indra. Some references make it equivalent to the Swarga (Biblical Heavan, Jannat as described in Quran) where good souls go (after death) to reap the benefits of their good Karma (good deeds). Some Puranic references equate Suvarloka to the Solar System. As per these the Suvar loka is consisted of nine sub divisions or sectors called; Druva Mandala, Sani Mandala, Brihaspati Mandala, Angaraka Mandala, Sukra Mandala, Budha Mandala, Nakshatra Mandala, Chandra Mandala, and Surya Mandala. As for the inhabitants of Suvar Loka, the Human Beings are one among them. The beings here are connected with a single consciousness that limits the possibility of any wrongdoings. It is believed all minor 33 million Hindu Gods live here. Lord Indra rules here. You are free from old age, diseases, etc earth realm worries, and pleasures. However, this realm is occasionally attacked by demons and devils who are jealous of the life here. Some Gods who live here - Vayu Dev (God of Air), Agni Dev (God of Fire), etc. You automatically land in heaven once you accept your non-physical existence completely and are so much in control of yourself that you are able to make new physical objects out of nothing. More like a minor creator. Longevity - 4.32 billion years. Lifespan - up to 306.72 million years. God-Level: 10^(-7)%.

Bhuvar (Pitra) Loka / Realm of Consciousness: (realization of existence, start/reset: solar presence); The air, atmosphere. The beings here don’t have a physical existence but need a medium to exist hence, can live in the air in the form of spirits. They are everywhere on earth and solar system and have to decide whether they are ready to leave the physical world forever and go to Svar Loka or come back to Bhu Loka and live one more life on earth. The beings who come back to the earth realm want to experience physical life as Earth is the last and therefore the most fragile form of physical existence. In this Loka, beings can observe everything - past, present & future of earth but in no way interact with the physical world. Longevity - 306.72 million years. Lifespan - up to 4.32 million years. God-Level: 10^(-8)%.

Bhu Loka (realization of consciousness, start/reset: planetary presence); The realm of earth. The region that extends from the earth to the sun, in which the Siddhas and other celestial beings move, is the atmospheric sphere (Bhuvar Loka). The 6th one viz. Bhuvar-loka is identified with Earth's atmosphere and sometimes with the space which is in the immediate neighborhood of Earth. In other words Bhuvarloka is the near-Earth space including Earth's atmosphere. This is the region where all the aircrafts fly and where all the artificial-satellites and space-stations that orbit around the Earth are situated. This region can re equated to the Geospace, the space dominated by Earth's magnetic field. Vibrates at medium frequency. The realm where attraction to the physical world is still relevant and existing and you can experience it. There are many planets with life that exist in this realm, earth being just one of those. This realm gives a balance between attraction and liberation, prophecy and spirituality. Life on earth is alive for just 12 hours of a day of the creator. The 12 creator hours can be divided into 14 Manvantara and each Manvantara has a total of 71 Yuga cycles. Currently, we are in the 7th Manvantara at the 28th Yuga cycle. Each Yuga cycle longevity - 4.32 million years. For simplicity, 12 creator hours can be divided into 1000 cycles of 4 Yuga.

Realm of Underworld (Unconscious Material World):

Atala Loka (finite lust, start/reset: sub-planetary/lunar presence)- The beings here are immortal, free from old age and diseases, and live a life that they ever wanted to live. Humans, during their early stages of development indeed lived in caves that went as deep as 1 km in the Upper Crust (Atala Loka). Several anomalies and submerged alien space-crafts and submerged-cities are reported as per UFO literature, as situated underground, sometimes beneath the oceans, under the bottom of continental lakes, underground cave networks etc. These are thus located in Atala (Upper Crust) and Vitala (Lower Crust).

Vitala Loka (finite ignorance, start/reset: asteroidal presence)- The beings here generally live longer and healthy life compared to Earth. From the success angle, even the richest on earth will be very small compared to the poorest of this realm. The idea of spirituality is lost here and people are in a never-ending race where at no limit anything is even sufficient for them to give satisfaction. A population of successful people all living a highly dissatisfied life.

Sutala Loka (finite ego, start/reset: sub-asteroidal presence)- The beings are turning evil to satisfy their materialistic pleasures. Right becomes Wrong and Wrong becomes Right. Needless to say, you do the right thing. There is nothing called spirituality. It is all about who gets the highest possession of materialistic pleasures and then calls himself God.

Talatala Loka (finite hallucination, start/reset: granular presence)- The beings here live a kind of similar life as of Atala Loka, the difference is, this time your soul is living in someone else illusion considered to be originating from you. Your soul is literally inside a prison now and completely unaware of it. This doesn’t mean beings won’t be living in a castle made of precious stones built above the cloud.

Mahatala Loka (finite fear, start/reset: molecular presence)- A world populated by Hooded Nagas (Hooded Snakes) who fear Garuda (Eagle). Also, a place where huge snakes suddenly and often appear from underground and anybody can be abducted and killed at any time. Every second is precious. Hence, beings live peacefully with each other. The world is full of imposters though.

Rasatala Loka (finite darkness, start/reset: atomic presence)- The home of devils. This is a world of constant war. If your soul doesn’t move to the above realms, there will be infinite times you will be born and die not a good death, over and over again for materialistic desires. Everybody hates everybody, be it even God. Even after having most of the treasure, life here will be in scarcity.

Patala Loka (finite illusion, start/reset: sub-atomic presence)- The darkest place of all the worlds. The deadliest of the snakes live here. Also, the Richest Realm keeps this world shining. Wore by Nagas themselves. It is perceived differently by different people. The most mysterious Loka of all. Gods say this is the most beautiful realm existing. Demons on the other hand couldn’t even speak what they experienced - like a shattered soul. Therefore, the above 14 Lokas constitute 14 worlds of Brahma (creator) as mentioned in Bhagavata Purana.

Some versions of the vedic texts state that good and bad deeds neutralize each other and the soul therefore is born in either a heaven or a hell, but not both, whereas according to another school of thought, the good and bad deeds don't cancel out each other. In either case, the soul acquires a body as appropriate to the worlds it enters. At the end of the soul's time in those worlds, it returns to the earth (is reborn as a life form on the earth). It is considered that only from the earth, and only after a human life, can the soul reach supreme salvation, the state free from the cycle of birth and death, a state of absolute and eternal bliss.

Your imagination is a reality. It is more attractive than Heaven Realms and in many religions considered to be a true definition of Heaven. However, this is like being locked inside one’s own imagination where after a certain limit, the path/guidance towards true meaning starts becoming desire. Imagine listening to your same favorite music, eating the same favorite food, talking about the same favorite things, etc. The one who wants to seek an answer comes to Bhu Loka. Since there is no pain or sadness here, the value of pleasure and happiness decreases over time, and after a saturation level, being relatively lesser happy than yesterday will be the reason to inflict pain to yourself unknowingly and this keeps growing if not checked. Since pain doesn’t kill, pain may become a new pleasure.

[talonabraxas]

Cosmology by Sri Aurobindo. A Universe with many worlds (a Multiverse) We see the world before our eyes, a world with its stars and galaxies and assume that this is the only world which exists. In reality, there also exist many occult worlds of varying gradations of consciousness which are invisible to our physical senses as well as our scientific instruments. A “world” in occult terminology is akin to an energy formation or a formation of consciousness, somewhat like a virtual world populated by beings of its own kind, where the laws of physics are more flexible and where the orders of Time and Space are unlike ours.

Our dreams are transcriptions of travels and interactions in these occult worlds. After death, we cast off our physical body and withdraw into these occult worlds where we reside until the next incarnation. A Yogi who gains occult insight is able to see this vast structure of the Universe. It is precisely this vision which has been described in Chapter 11 of the Bhagavad Gita.

Existence-Consciousness-Bliss (Sachchidananda)

These three worlds are one in essence and are hence called triune. They embody the principles of Sat(Existence), Chit (Consciousness) and Ananda (Bliss). They are also referred to as the Satyaloka, Tapoloka and Janaloka.

Supramental world Other names for the Supermind: Maharloka in the Vedas. Vijnana world in the Upanishads. rendered as Truth-Consciousness in English by Sri Aurobindo.

The Supermind is the Creator of the phenomenal universe, of the lower worlds of Mind, Life and Matter. It is the medium for self-manifestation of the Supreme or Absolute. It applies some fixed truths, some limiting principles to shape the lower worlds out of an Infinite Consciousness. It creates multiplicity out of unity, differentiation and separation out of pure being.

Three poises of the Supermind

The Supermind has three poises which together result in the creation of Maya (Illusion) in the lower worlds:

Comprehending consciousness(Vijnana) : It holds creation in Unity. This can also be described as the causal state (Karana Avastha)

Apprehending consciousness(Prajnana) : The process of differentiation begins in this poise; it brings about the One in Many and the Many in One. There is separation between Purusha and Prakriti, subject and object, self and not-self but all are still parts of the one. This may also be called the state of expression (Karya Avastha )

Projecting consciousness (Avidya) : Further modification of the second poise so as to support evolution of a diversified individuality. Multiplicity in creation is now fully expressed. This may be called the state of full manifestation (Purna Vyakta Avastha)

यज्ञैरिष्ट्वा स्वर्गतिं प्रार्थयन्ते | ते पुण्यमासाद्य सुरेन्द्रलोक- मश्र्नन्ति दिव्यान्दिवि देवभोगान् || २० || trai-vidyā māṁ soma-pāḥ pūta-pāpā yajñair iṣṭvā svar-gatiṁ prārthayante te puṇyam āsādya surendra-lokam aśnanti divyān divi deva-bhogān Those who study the Vedas and drink the soma juice, seeking the heavenly planets, worship Me indirectly. They take birth on the planet of Indra, where they enjoy godly delights. The word trai-vidyāḥ refers to the three Vedas, Sāma, Yajur and Ṛg. A brāhmaṇa who has studied these three Vedas is called a tri-vedī. Anyone who is very much attached to knowledge derived from these three Vedas is respected in society. Unfortunately, there are many great scholars of the Vedas who do not know the ultimate purport of studying them. Therefore Kṛṣṇa herein declares Himself to be the ultimate goal for the tri-vedīs. Actual tri-vedīs take shelter under the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa and engage in pure devotional service to satisfy the Lord. Devotional service begins with the chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra and side by side trying to understand Kṛṣṇa in truth. Unfortunately those who are simply official students of the Vedas become more interested in offering sacrifices to the different demigods like Indra, Candra, etc. By such endeavor, the worshipers of different demigods are certainly purified of the contamination of the lower qualities of nature and are thereby elevated to the higher planetary system or heavenly planets known as Maharloka, Janaloka, Tapoloka, etc. Once situated on those higher planetary systems, one can satisfy his senses hundreds of thousands of times better than on this planet. https://gloriousgita.com/verse/en/9/20 https://bhagavad-gita.org/Gita/verse-09-20.html https://bookchanges.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Bg-Chapter-9-diff.htm https://youtube.com/c/HearSrilaPrabhupada https://www.bhagavad-gita.us/famous-reflections-on-the-bhagavad-gita/ https://sites.google.com/view/sanatan-dharma https://m.facebook.com/HDG.A.C.Bhaktivedanta.Svami.Srila.Prabhupada.Uvaca/ #bhagavatam #srimadbhagavatam #vishnu #vishnupuran #harekrishna #harekrsna #harekrishna #harekrisna #prabhupada #bhagavadgita https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn_oeBZrV7A/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

6) The Six—

The six adharas or plexuses (chakras): i) muladhara, ii) svadhishthana, iii) manipuraka, iv) anahata, v) visuddhi, vi) ajna.

7) The Seven—

a) Seven Worlds: Bhuloka, Bhuvarloka, Svarloka, Maharloka, Tapoloka, Satyaloka, and Sivaloka. For an elaborate and esoteric account of the lokas (worlds), see the Vishnu, Bhagavata, Vayu and other Puranas.

b) The seventh chakra—sahasrara located in the cranium.

8) The Eight—Pervasiveness through earth, water, fire, air, sky, sun, moon and Jiva.

By such endeavor, the worshipers of different demigods are certainly purified of the contamination of the lower qualities of nature and are thereby elevated to the higher planetary systems or heavenly planets known as Maharloka, Janaloka, Tapoloka, etc. Once situated on those higher planetary systems, one can satisfy his senses hundreds of thousands of times better than on this planet.
