The Purusha is the Divine Spark in the human body. ( Puram vasathi ithi purushah ). He is the enjoyer of both happiness and sorrow. He is the Being and She, Prakriti, is the Becoming.
The Purusha Sooktham is one of the best hymns about Purusha, the Supreme Being, who along with His consort, Prakriti, is all this.
It is said that Purusha enveloped the earth on all sides, with thousands of heads, feet and hands.
All this is Purusha only, all that has been and all that will be. The visible and invisible Universes are He. His greatness is that He is more than the visible. The visible Universe is only one fourth of Purusha. Rest are like the invisible part of a submerged iceberg.
In the beginning, Purusha lay submerged in Inconscience. Says the Rig Veda ” In the beginning darkness was hidden by darkness and all this was one big ocean of Inconscience. Universal Being was concealed by fragmentation”.
Sree Sooktham is a Hymn to Becoming, to Nature, to the Mother of all that is. She is Sree or Lakshmi, the wife of the Preservative Aspect of Godhead. She is Prosperity Personified. Listening to Sree Sooktam is believed to bring in unexpected prosperity, while listening to Purusha Sooktam can elevate one spiritually.
These two Sookthams are superbly sung by B Vasanta.
Happy hearing and may you be blessed by Prosperity !

Is there a consolation in Philosophy ? In the mirages of Metaphysics ? If not, why do people turn to Wisdom ?
Boethius wrote the Consolations of Philosophy, De Consociation Philosohiae. It is Wisdom which alone can comfort Man !
Why do people read Books ? Do they find pleasure in reading ? Is there a Reader’s Heaven, which scholars averr ?
Longfellow defended this view. He wrote
The scholar and the world, the endless strife The discord in the harmonies of life, The love of learning, the sequesterd nooks, And the sweet serenity of books The Marketplace, eager love for gain Whose aim is Vanity, whose end is pain !
So it is better to be a scholar curled in his books than a bizman, who knows not what is mental peace !
Four major doctrines, Christianity,Freemasonry, Capitalism and Communism originated from the Jews.
Jesus was a Jew. He contradicted the Mosaic Law and founded Christianity.
Freemasonry is based on Gnosticism, which is Christian Mysticism. And Gnosticism is derived from the Kabbalah, which is Jewish Mysticism.
About Kabbalah, General Pyke wrote ” All dogmatic religions originate from the Kabbalah and return to it. One is surprised while entering the Sanctuary of the Kabbalah, at finding the doctrine so simple, so logical and at the same time so absolute. ” Freemasonry exists today as a Royal Science and as a Noble Art.
Capitalism – You will find some of the greatest capitalists amongst Jews. The Rockefellers, the Reynoldses, the Rothschilds, the Warburgs. the Soros et al.
Marx and Trotsky were Masons and Jews. International Communism was built up, so that its strength equalled the united strength of Dogmatic Theology.
The father of the Atom Bomb ( Oppenheimer ) was a Jew. So was Einstein. So was Ben Franklin, the man who founded the American Philosophical Society.
The world owes a lot to the Jews. Judaism is the Original Religion from which Chrisitanity and Islam originated.
” The priest is a scoundrel “, said Khalil Gibran. The priesthood indoctrinate their flocks with fanaticism. ” Our Religion is the greatest”, “Our Prophet is the greatest” and our ” Book is the greatest ” are their slogans.
So no wonder we find a lot of fanatics today. People believe the mythological tales to be historical, with the result they clash amongst themselves over allegorical and symbolic stories.
Books like ” The Davinci Code”, ” The Love in the East” and ” The Satanic Verses ” serve a good purpose. They give a clear message to the people, telling them to get rid of their fanaticism.
The God of the philosophers is not the God of Theology.
The priesthood talk about a jealous and vengeful God, sitting in some antisceptic corner of the cosmos, an extra-cosmic Deity. The Yogis talk about an Indwelling Presence, a principle which works from within and a Principle which gives Divine guidance
There is conflict when Philosophy meets Theology. ” We are dealing with a full size World Mystery here and a fight between the Black and White Brotherhoods “. said Frater Achad.
We are all one, according to this Theory. All human beings are the same.
It is an ” us against them” mentality which is responsible for all wars. We have forgotten that all are our brothers and sisters.
We think we are good and our enemies are bad. Such a mentality will plunge us in war.
Remember what Shakespeare said ” There is nothing good or bad in this world, but thinking makes it so “. It is our erroenous thinking that ” we are right and they are wrong” which is the cause of all wars.
Only the Theory of Global Oneness can save humanity ! Remember what Plato said ” Those who are caught up in the morasses of multiplicity are not philosophers “.
When we survey World Philosophy, we find that there are four major world views.
Secular Humanism
Egalitarianism
Cosmic Humanism
Evangelism
Secular Humanism consists of Atheism and Agnosticism. Atheists are people who deny God. Agnostics say that Reality is Unknown and maybe Reality exists, but That is not known to the human mind.
Egalitarianism – This is Marxism, aiming at an egalitarian society. According to Marx, society is an organic unity that is dialectially interrelated to the economic conditions. The materialistic conception of history indicates the struggle of Being for Self- Realisation through the well known three phase dialectic – of Thesis, Antithesis and Synthesis.
Cosmic Humanism – This doctrine is similar to Secular Humanism. The only difference is the postulate of a Self, which exists in all human beings.
His great transparent mirror, Self !
We are all parts of the One Universal Substance which constitute the universe. The mystic tie binds all men into Brotherhood. Also all the elements of the Universe into the Unity behind diversity.
Evangelism – This doctrine states that some “Religions are superior” to other “inferior Religions” and people belonging to the ” inferior religions ” should be converted into the “Superior Religions “. There are millions of evangelists and these people create schism in soceity. All dogmas belong to Evangelism, which is the bane of this world. Those who follow Evangelism becomes fundamentalists and fanatics and they are the problem causers of this world. They label the earlier Universal Philosophy ( which existed even before the birth of their religions ) as ” Paganism” and their theological doctrines as ” Anti-Paganism”. This Anti Paganism is responsible for the world’s present malady. They also talk about Love, but then Love without Scientific Philosophy is superstition.
Philosophy without Love is madness Love without Philosophy is superstition.
This is where Universal Love steps in, along with Universal Wisdom. The world can only be united under Universal Love & Brotherhood. The salvation of the world is in Love and through Love !
Theology states that God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh The priesthood do not believe in the Law of Evolution, which states that man evolved from the apes. This transvaluation instigated by Charles Darwin robbed man of the privilege of having been specially created.
From a broader philosophical perspective, we can say that the Lord did not create the world. He became this world. He is all this. ” All this is Brahman alone, all this magnificent Universe” averrs the Upanishads.
The sum total Energy in the Universe is an absolute constant and does not change. This is the Universal Being, which knoweth no destruction. ” Know that to be imperishable by which all this is pervaded” says the Geetha.
Dr Erasmus Darwin drew inspiration from the Theory of Reincarnation and the Theory of the Ten Incarnations of Lord Vishnu. The first incarnation was that of a fish, indicating that life came from the sea and that our ancestors were aquatic. The summum bonum is the Enlightened One, the Buddha. Finally Charles Darwin, his grandson, established the Law of Evolution in his Origin of the Species.
While on the absolute plane there is no destruction, forms are changing on the relative plane. Matter exists in three forms – solid, liquid and gaseous. Nothing ever begins to be. It only undergoes a transformation into conditions which preexisted in other conditions. Ice when heated becomes water, which when heated becomes steam, which when cooled becomes water, which when cooled becomes ice again. So on the relative plane, forms only undergo transformation.
The Theory of Reincarnation – Symblic of the Evolution of Consciousness
The Theory of Reincarnation states that the Soul takes successive births and evolves to the Absolute, the Godhead, through the Evolution of Consciousness. Life does not, at physical birth, begin to be. It merely enters physical conditions and assumes physical guise.
There are three types of men
The Animal Man – Here Consciousness is on the animal level. Hence we find criminals and crackpots in society.
The Human Man – Here Consciousness is on the human level. Man is all mixed, viz, Virtue and Vice are mixed in him
The Divine Man – Here Consciousness is on the Divine level. He had achieved union with the Absolute Self.
The Evolution of Consiousness begins from Animal Man and ends in Divine Man.
The Theory of the Ten Incarnations is also symbolic. It depicts the journey of the Soul from the unicellular amoeba to the Enlightened Man.
Be the Enlightened Man, the Divine Man, is the message of Transcendental Wisdom !
