<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> At a meeting
of the British Academy held on Wednesday, Professor A. A. MacDonnell, Boden
Professor of Sanskrit in the University of Oxford, Fellow of the Academy, read
a paper on “The Evolution of Ancient Indian Architecture” Lord Reay presided.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Professor
MacDonnell said that, owing to the total lack of work of an historical
character in India from the rise of its literature (c. 1500 B. C.) to the
Mahomedan conquest (c. 1000 A. D.) the study of archaeology was relatively more
important in India than in perhaps any other country. But the archaeological
remains had been steadily disappearing from the face of the land. Their destruction
had been arrested by the Ancient Monuments Preservation Act passed by Lord
Curzon in 1904. The lecturer had during a recent tour of six months in India
many opportunities of observing the beneficial effects of the Act. His paper
traced through a period of nearly 2000 years the development of Indian
architecture from its earliest forms down to the fixed types of late ages. In the
pre-Buddhistic period architecture was wooden, there being no temples or carved
images of gods. The use of brick first appeared in the fifth century B. C., and
from the middle of the third century B. C. the Buddhists began to build in
stone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

ARCHITECTURE.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> The
history of Buddhist architecture might be divided into three periods – 250 B.
C, 50 A. D., 50-350 A. D., 350-650 A. D. There were three classes of buildings –
stupas (topes), chaitya, (assembly halls) churches, monasteries. The stupa, a
development of the low sepulchral mound of earth, was originally a
hemispherical structure erected to enclose relics of Buddha; on the top was an
ornament (called a tee), ending in one or more umbrellas. It was shown how by
successive stages both the stupa and the tee were elongated so as to assume the
shape of a tower; the former then became attenuated, while the tee grew in
height, the umbrellas becoming roofs, till it reached its final development in
the nine storeyed Chinese pagoda, in which the stupa portion had disappeared.
The professor then traced the history of the assembly halls, wagon headed
structures with aisles and an apse, under which was placed a small stupa as an
object of veneration. The earliest were rock-cut specimens dating from the
third century B. C. and obvious stupa as an object of veneration. The stupa,
originally quite plain, had in later centuries a figure of Buddha carved on its
front, and finally (about 660 A. D.) became a hollow cell with the figures
inside. This marked the transition to Hindu architecture, in two early
specimens of which the cell was semicircular at the back and square
respectively. The monasteries originally consisted of a square hall surrounded
by a number of sleeping cubicles. Rock cut specimens alone survived, there
being altogether about 900. In the first period no figure sculpture appeared
and only towards its end four pillars supporting the ceiling were introduced. In
the second period the number of pillars was gradually increased from 12 to 28
and a sanctuary containing a figure of Buddha was introduced at the back of the
hall. The latest specimens at Ellora formed a transition to the earliest Hindu
example from which they were hardly distinguishable.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

STYLE.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> All
the evidence available pointed to Hindu religious architecture being derived
from earlier Buddhist types. The oldest specimens dated from about 600 A. D.
Two styles could be clearly distinguished, each showing a definite type from
the beginning – the Dravidian or South Indian, and the Indo-Aryan or North
Indian. The Dravidian temple was derived from the Buddhist monastery. Its plan
was a square base containing the cell in which the image was kept; the cell was
surmounted by a pyramidal tower, always divided into storeys and surmounted by
a small dome either circular or pyramidal. The later Dravidian temples stood in
a court surrounded by a wall, a special feature of which was the Gopuram, or
great gateway, which was opposite the temple and was surmounted by a storeyed
tower resembling that of the shrine itself. The best specimen was the great temple
at Tanjore, erected in 1025 A. D. In still later specimen successive
surrounding courts were added, each with its Gopuram. These gateways increased
in size and height as one proceeded outwards and thus entirely obscured the
tower of the central shrine. The most notable example of this defect was the
Srirangam temple near Trichinopoly, the largest in India. A feature of these
South Indian temples is their tanks surrounded by colonnades. The great temple
of Ramesvaram had magnificent corridors, one of them 700 ft. in length. These temples
had very elaborate pillars, which by about 1300 A. D. acquired a permanent type
with conventionalized animals and riders affixed to them. A variety of the
South Indian style was the Chalukyan, the best specimens of which belonged to the
12<sup>th</sup> and 13<sup>th</sup> centuries A. D.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">THE
INDO-ARYAN STYLE.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> The
Indo-Aryan style was found only north of the 20<sup>th</sup> degree of
latitude. Here the square cell was surmounted by a curvilinear spire with a
vertical band running up each fact, the top finished off with a fluted ornament
somewhat flattened. In the earliest specimens a porch was added in front of the
cell, but was not essential. The spire, though curved, was square in section. The
earliest specimens were found at Bhubaneswar in Orissa, beginning about 600 A.
D., and coming down to 1100 A. D. A feature in the evolution of the Northern
temples was the gradual increase in the number of the porches to four. The origin
of the Indo-Aryan spire had always been a puzzle to archaeologists. It could
not have any connexion with the pyramidal Dravidian tower, nor with the long
wagon headed Buddhist assembly hall, which had no suggestion of a spire about
it. Its prototype was to be found in the stupa. By the end of the Buddhist
period, the stupa had become a hollow cell with a squire base and an elongated
dome. In the Indo-Aryan tower the dome was further elongated and the corners of
the square base were carried up to the top on the curvilinear face, the
horizontal section of which thus became square also. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> In his introduction, the commentator
discusses two important subjects, namely the scriptural authorities bearing on
religion, and the characteristics of an universal religion. He points out that some
Vaidikis hold that the Vedas alone form the authority and not the Agamas, and
that some Saivas hold that Agamas alone form the authority and the Vedas do not
form as good authority as the Agamas. Against the views of both, he cites Sri
Nilakanta Sivachariar and Appaya Dikshitar, prominent Vaidikis who held in
their books, Nilakanta Bashyam, Swarkamani Dipika and Siva Tatva Vivekam that
Agamas form equally as good authority as the Vedas. He cites Haradatta
Sivachariar and Umapathi Sivachariar, prominent Saivas who in their works
Chaturveda tatparya Sangraha and Paushakra Virutti have upheld the authority of
both Vedas and Agamas. He quotes the following passage from Nilakanta Bashyam.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> “Former Acharyas (Teachers) maintain
that this Adhikarana is intended to set aside the theory, advanced in parts of
Siva-Agama, that Siva, the Parabrahman, is a mere efficient cause. On the
contrary, we see no difference between the Veda and the Sivagama. Even the
Vedas may properly be called Sivagama, Siva being the author thereof.
Accordingly, Sivagama is twofold, one being intended for the three (higher
castes), the other being intended for all. Siva alone is the author of both.
That He is the author of the Veda is declared in the following passages of
Sruti and Smriti. “He is the Lord of all Vidyas.” “(The Veda) is the breath of
the mighty Being.” “of these eighteen Vidyas of various paths, the original
author is the wise Sulapani Himself. So says the Sruti.” Elsewhere also the
Paramesvara Himself is thus spoken of. Wherefore the author being the same,
both teach the same thing and are alike authoritative.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> “Or the question may be viewed thus:
- The Vedas and the Agama are both authoritative inasmuch as we find, in both
alike, Brahman, Pranava, the Panchakshari, Prasada and other Mantras; mention
of Pasu, Pati, Pasa and other things, such lofty Dharmas as the smearing of
ashes, the wearing of tripundra, worship of Linga, the wearing of rudraksha,
and all other such things. The author being the same and both expounding the
same thing, they are not opposed to one another. Wherefore we maintain that
this – Adhikarana refers to the Yoga Smriti of Hiranyagarbha which speaks of
Iswara as the mere efficient cause. Therefore, this adhikarana is properly intended
to overthrow the Hiranyagarbagama or, as someone says, there is nothing
objectionable (in this adhikarana being made to refer to Sivagama) inasmuch as
it is intended to remove an incidental doubt arising with reference to the
teaching of the Sivagama itself, just as the doubt concerning the origin of
Akasa will be removed. Any how our conclusion is that Isvara is not a mere
efficient cause.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of these, standing supreme above all. And the books of this school are the 28

orthodox schools like Kapala and Vama etc., have each their own special agamas,
and opponents of Saiva Agamas are only too prone to cite texts condemnatory of
these other Agamas or tantras, against the Saiva Agamas themselves. For this

Generally speaking, the Vedas may be likened to the Sutra and Agama to the
Bhashya or commentary. The Sutras being obscure, the true meaning can alone be
grasped by the commentary, and in the Agamas we have the commentary composed by
the highest authority, the author of the Vedas themselves.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the Vedas, there are various views of life and religion expounded and which may
not all be reconcilable with one another. How is this to be accounted for? And
especially when we regard this as the revelation of the one true God? God, as
the Heavenly father of all his creatures, has the welfare of everyone before
him; and though the truth be one, it is not such as can be understood at once
by everyone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

every grade of moral, intellectual and spiritual development. In a single
family of several children, though everyone has the same facilities for
improvement, yet everyone does not avail himself of all the facilities and does
not derive the same benefit. They have not the same capacity physical or
intellectual or moral for work and progress; and finally they are landed in
several stages of life, one becomes an artisan, one becomes a trader and one
becomes a great professor, and another a lawyer and another a spiritual teacher
and another becomes a moral wreck. In the immense diversity of life that
prevails in this vast world, disparity in power and spirituality is
immeasurably greater. And the true method of uplifting them would be by
providing easy stages which they can understand and ascend, and so reach the
final landing. This is what is called the Sobhana Murai or method, Sobhanam
meaning a ladder.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Lokayata wallowing in the mire of vice and self-indulgence of the highest
spiritual truths, but it will be easy to preach to him as Max Nardon does to
seek pure pleasures and the highest enjoyment the world can afford him, freed
of vice and voluptuousness and consistent with other’s rights; and he can
readily perceive that this mode of enjoyment is really more lasting and the
better one than the one he was following, in his own self-interest. The next
would be to induce him to believe that to get rid of pain, and attain to the
highest happiness, the truer mode of plan would be to forget one’s own selfish
joy and to minister to other’s wants and in fact to forget self. This will
induce one to the highest ethical perfection which is reached in Buddhism. The
man reaching this stage will naturally think if his position is at all
satisfactory, and whether the world can generally follow his lead, and whether
a belief in a future spiritual existence is not necessary. The Sankhya then
postulates a soul and with pradhana, he proves that nothing more is needed to
explain our existence or secure our salvation. A further philosophical search
induces that the postulate of a soul is not possible unless we postulate a God.
And we have the various theistic schools commencing with Nyaya and Yoga.
Differences here arise as to the nature of the Highest and the unknown and
unknowable God. People try to identify It with this or that existence, or Power
or Deity and with one’s own self or soul. They try to give and clothe him with
our own human perfections and sometimes even with our human imperfections.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

spiritual growth. And it will be seen that each rung is a true rung in the
ladder and is a truth and unless this truth is reached, it cannot lead to the
higher truth. The all seer is his Supreme Beneficence has therefore revealed

aspirant is gradually led to change his belief in Annamaya kosham as Brahman,
to Pranamaya, Manomaya, Vignanamaya and Anandamaya etc. He quotes the authority
of Suta Samhita that all these paths are true and are as it were rungs of the

of the different facets of a crystal. The same light would proceed from each
facet. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

took the leaves, other took the sprigs, rejecting the leaves; others again
rejecting these, took the bud, flower, tender fruit and green ones, as each one
desired. Proving useful as they did these six parts of the tree, few were they
who chose the ripened fruit, sweet and rare, growing on the top of Vedanta, and
pressed the juice called Saiva Siddhanta and drank such ambrosia. Myself,
though unfit to share their bliss, will drink the sweet water from the wash of
their golden feet. Hence I regard as bitter the ambrosia of the Gods.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Veda is the tree, an organic whole, with leaves, flowers and fruits, giving to
each what he wants and is in most need of. The man who alone needs leaves will be
most highly satisfied if he gets them and would not even look at flowers or
fruits though they are equally within his easy grasp. There are some men and
women who would prefer a raw fruit to a sweet one, in certain conditions of
their physical body.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

stomach cannot receive it. This will account for the attitude of some persons
who will not see or appreciate truth when others readily perceive it. We wonder
why a Tyndal or Huxley would not believe in God and why Gladstone held some
beliefs in Theological questions. Each is satisfied with his own position and
the other’s position does not savour well to him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

mind has not reached that development and grace of God had not fallen on him.
This view leads one occupying a higher position not to look down upon the
other, but to look upon him with sympathy and kindness and just to wait for a
chance when he can lift him into his own rung. The man who occupies the highest
eminence sees everything with his own eyes and each in its place and can have
nothing but the highest good will and toleration to everyone. If the others are
condemned sometimes, it is simply to everyone. If the others are condemned
sometimes, it is simply to reply when these occupying the lower rungs attack
one another and him in the highest rung.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

distinction of this system till last. As a system of religious thought, as an
expression of faith and life, the Saiva Siddhanta is by far the best that South
India possesses. Indeed, it would not be rash to include the whole of India,
and to maintain that judged by its intrinsic merits, the Saiva Siddhanta
represents the high watermark of Indian Thought and Indian life, apart of

could not easily identify it as the text book of Sankhya, Yoga or Vedanta,
Dwaita, Advaita, or Vishistadvaita. It seemed a jumble so to speak. Monier
Williams was the first, we believe, to point out that they represented an
ancient <i>Eclectic </i>School of thought.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> “The Bhagavad Gita commented on by
the great Vedantic Teacher Sankaracharya, may be regarded as representing the <i>eclectic School of Indian philosophy</i>. As
the regular systems were developments of the Upanishads, so the Eclectic School
is connected with those mystical treatises, through the Svetasvatara Upanishad.
This last is a comparatively modern Upanishad, but whether it was composed
before or after the Bhagavad Gita, <i>the
design of both is evidently the same. They both aim at reconciling the
conflicting views of different systems, by an attempt to engraft the Sankya and
Yoga upon Vedanta doctrines</i>. Although, therefore, the order of creation and
much of the cosmology of the Sankya system are retained in both, the
sovereignty of the soul or spirit of the universe (<i>Brahman</i>, neut.) with which Krishna is identified, as the source and
end of all created things, and yet wholly independent of all such creations, is
asserted by both.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> Professor Max Muller, in his
introduction to the Svetasvatara Upanishad strongly maintains “that no argument
that has as yet been brought forward seems to me to prove in any sense of the
word its modern character.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> Accordingly, Professor MacDonnell
takes a more correct view and states “of the eclectic movement combining
Sankya, Yoga and Vedanta doctrines<i>, the
oldest representative is the Svetasvatara Upanishad</i>. Much more famous is
the Gita.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Professor Garbe also subscribes to this
view of the <i>eclectic </i>character of the
two books in his Philosophy of ancient India. Now the Gita has been interpreted
by different schools and Svetasvatara by Sankara and his followers. And
Vaishnava writers derive the largest number of their authorities from this Upanishad.
It has to be noted also that of the quotations from the Upanishads occurring in
the Gita, the largest number are from the Svetasvatara. And it is a well-known
fact that Svetasvatara is the highest authority of the Saiva school of writers,
and hence it has been often called a modern and sectarian Upanishad, though Max
Muller argues against this view, and points out the use of such terms as Siva,
Hara, Rudra, Bhagavat, Agni, Aditya, Vayu, was much more ancient than the use
of the terms Atman and Brahman etc. If therefore the Saivas claim this
Upanishad as their own, and this with Gita are the only clear text books of an
ancient eclectic school, does not the old claim of Saiva Siddhantis that their
school is an <i>eclectic </i>school proved
without doubt. Anyone can see the truth of the remark of Professor Monier
Williams that “it is scarcely too much to say that the creeds indicated by
these two terms Saivism and Vaishnavism constitute the very life and soul of
modern Hinduism,” and he points out that these are not incompatible creeds. We
must suppose also that modern Hinduism represents historically its most ancient
traditions and faiths in some measure or other; and either the most ancient
eclectic school represented by the Gita and Svetasvatara Upanishad is
represented in modern Hinduism or it is not. But it will be absurd to suppose
that this old school perished and it has left no modern representatives. Every
out-worn creeds like the Buddha, Jains, Sankya and Purvamimamsa etc. had been
systematized, and it would be strange if this systematization of the philosophy
which claimed to be the <i>sara</i> and <i>essence</i> of all systems did not proceed
apace. We are glad to note that Professor R. W. Frazer emphasized this eclectic
character of the Saiva Siddhanta philosophy at the last meeting held in the
rooms of the Royal Asiatic Society to do honour to Reverend Doctor G. U. Pope.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

proof however of its antiquity we will give here. The language of its technical
terms, whether philosophical or religious are derived from the ancient Vedic
Sacrifice. The terms, Pathi, Pasu and Pasa, are exactly the words used to
describe the Medha Pati or Yagna Pati or Pasupati, Supreme Deity presiding at
the Sacrifice, the animal or Jiva offered in Sacrifice and the ropes used to
bind the Pasu to the Yupa or Dwaja-stambha. *<o:p></o:p></span></div>

representative of the ancient Yagna Sala, with the Linga (Pasupati) and Nandi
(freed Pasu) and Yupa or Dwajastambha. When after the days of Kena Upanishad,
the belief in Indra and Vayu and a Varuna and Agni was given up and the worship
of the one Supreme Brahman, the Lord of Uma Haimavati was set up, the Saivite
Temples arose. The Vedic Rishis underwent Diksha or consecration before
commencing a Soma Sacrifice (Vidyaranya always interprets soma, as Siva and
Uma.) In the Mahabharata, we find Upamanyu, Krishna and Arjuna and others
undergoing <i>Diksha</i> before commencing
the invocation of Siva. The Mahabharat and Gita speak of Nirvana and Brahma
Nirvana as the Highest goal to be attained. The Saivite consecration ceremonies
are called also Diksha and the highest ceremony is the Nirvana Diksha. Siva is
the Brahmin among gods, * and his form is that of the Brahmin or Rishi, Yogi or
Muni with his Jata etc. That Siva was the God of the two Highest castes in the
days of Mahabharata and before is well pointed out by Professor Lassen and
other Scholars.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the seen material universe spoken of as he, she and it undergoes the three
changes of origin, development and decay, this must be an entity created or
evolved by God. During the time of Samharam it must return into Hara. And
therefore during creation, it must come out of Hara. Therefore, it is that the
one Supreme is Hara who is the author both of creation and Samharam. The reason
for the creation and destruction and re-creation is because of the existence of
Anavamala.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

growth and decay and reproduction. By creation is meant not production out of
nothing, but evolution of forms from the formless matter, and <i>Samharam</i> is not destruction but it means
resolution into its primordial elements. As the seed is imbedded in the earth
concealed, so is maya concealed in God before differentiation. When the same
seed is warmed and pervaded by the Light and Power (sakti) of God, the seed
sprouts and develops and matures into the Tree of the world.

this creation and dissolution has to be known. Various answers are given no
reason is possible and no reason can be given. God’s ways are mysterious. God
does it for his sport, for his pleasure; He wishes to see his reflection in his
creation. But these do not carry conviction with it. The answer given here is
this. From the existence of the world, we argued the existence of a creator.
From another fact found in this world, we infer the reason of such creation. It
is the existence of evil, or sin, imperfection or ignorance, Avidya or
Anavamala, and the necessity for its removal furnishes the true reason. There
will be necessity for creation as long as there is Evil in this world “</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Latha",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">மலத்துளதாம்</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">”.

unreal and therefore the reflection man is God. They would speak of man as a
part, a particle, a spark or a ray of God, an emanation of Him and so on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

or spark of God is unreal, nobody need bother himself about perfecting or
purifying this unreality. If real, the phenomenon of evil or impurity inhering
in Him has to be accounted for. And why did God evolve himself into man, brute
or worm? One learned writer argues there is no evil, it is merely the illusion
of man in looking at himself in God through the network of time, space and
causality. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

divide himself into man and brute and worm and cover himself with this network.
Because He wants to know himself and see himself and realize himself by means
of his reflections, in the upadhi of maya, as we do in a mirror. But if one
wishes to see the beauty of his face in a mirror, he would naturally choose a
good mirror. But if he chose a bad mirror which distorted his face in all sorts
of ugly ways, whose fault could it be? It could not be the fault of the bad
mirror which he consciously chose. We could not attribute to the most
intelligent Brahman such fault in not choosing such a vessel in which He can
see himself and know himself to the best advantage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The perfect cannot
seek to know himself in the imperfect and the ignorant and the wicked and
sinful and sorrowing and suffering. If all this is a play of His and no such
distinction, as the imperfect, the wicked and sinful and sorrowing and
suffering, and all this is hallucination, myth, non-existence, why should any
man aspire to be a good man, a perfect man; a jivanmukta; why should he <i>realize his identity</i> with the absolute?
If God, in trying to realize Himself (for his sport or for what?) became man
and woman and brute, look at the bother of this man, woman or brute, doing good
acts, acts without attachment, real tapas, Yoga and Gnana to realize his
identity with the Absolute! What guarantee is there that after all this bother,
the jivanmukta may not again be differentiated from the Absolute into a man,
woman, or animal? How senseless and vain all these efforts seem, how ignoble
the purpose of creation and evolution? To the question why does the perfect
become the imperfect, which question is stated in all its various forms, vulgar
and highly philosophic, one writer answers that this question is an impossible one;
it should not be put at all! We have already pointed out how inconsequential
this question and answer is. But the same question has been put in and answers
attempted by other learned men who belonged to the same school! And these
answers are various and conflicting in themselves. Of those, Swami Vivekananda
gets most glory. His answer is “I do not know.” Mr. Mukopadhyaya replies that
the Swami is wrong and that the perfect does not become the imperfect, God does
not become man. Man is only a reflection and as such, cannot be God. According
to the <i>Brahmavadin</i> man is a
reflection, is unreal, but unreality itself is unreal and as such, man is God.
And so no question arises of the perfect and the imperfect. According to Paul
Deussen, the answer is, “The never ceasing new creation of the world is a moral
necessity, connected with the doctrine of Samsara.” “A moral necessity, for <i>Atman</i>? What a <i>contradiction in adjecto</i>!” exclaims his critic Dr. Hubbe Schleiden.
“<i>Atman</i>, as we all agree, is that
which is beyond all necessity and necessity that is causality reigns or exists
only in our manifested world, of <i>individual
</i>consciousness of any sort.” “And the critics own explanation is that
existence is the manifestation of the will to exist and this will is <i>trishna</i>, <i>tanha</i>, the desire for enjoyment? Well, whose will, we ask, who
desires for enjoyment? The Absolute, the Satchidananda, or any other? What call
this hell on earth an enjoyment for Him” We leave our learned doctor to fight
out Professor Deussen by himself and proceed to state another learned lady’s
opinion. If we remember correctly, she said, Iswara evolves into man and brute
to gather experience, to improve himself by means of his animal sheaths and
that there would be no perfect Brahman at one time, it goes on improving itself
day after day. And that if the Veda repeats the cry that there is a bourne from
which there is no return, no return, it is a mere make-believe. And all these
are learned expounders, and who is right? Can we ask this question or is our question
captious? The Siddhanti’s answer is that the question itself is based on a
fallacy, an assumption. The fact assumed is that the perfect becomes the
imperfect. Is this a fact proved? Does God really become man and brute? What is
the proof of this, let alone Vedic texts and the desire to reach a high
sounding philosophic unity? It is this fancied desire to generalize everything
into one, that led the Greek philosophers to postulate number and water and
fire as the final and ultimate cause of all things. Why not leave bad, good and
evil as they are? Why should you refer the evil to the good, impure to the
pure? Will not silence in this respect be golden? Will not Mownam in this case
be real gnanam?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

seen that the world of matter and the world of sentient souls could not be
traced to a particular origin, either out of nothing or out of God. We could
not trace it to other causes than themselves. We could not explain them by
reducing them to other elementary substances than matter and mind. If we do so,
we meet with various difficulties, and hence we pause here. We take them as
existing facts, final facts which do not admit of further explanation. We find
man sinning and suffering. There are ready means of perfecting himself provided
by means of this material world in which he can well act and will and progress.
And means are provided by a most Beneficent Loving Lord. These are the three
Padarthas or Postulates of this School. Pathi – God, Pasu – Soul, and Pasa
comprising maya (matter), anavamala (ignorance) and karma. We call them three
because we cannot resolve them one into another. But what is the relation of
these three? And what is the nature of God and the Soul. These form separate
topics of enquiry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Regarding the
nature of God, which is spoken in this System by names Pathi, Pasupathi, Hara,
Siva, Rudra etc., the simplest definition given in Sivagnanabotham is that He
is Siva Sat or Chit Sat. These are the component parts of the word
Satchidananda. All that we can know material. We do not know God and cannot
know Him. The moment we can know Him; He will become one with matter.
Therefore, He is other than matter, i.e., Pure Chit or intelligence. But if we
cannot know, is he non-existent? No, He is a positive Existence, Sat. In as
much as this creation was for the benefit of man by a loving Father, it is
inferred He is Ananda, all love. God as Pure Being and Intelligence is
immeasurable and unknowable, but as Love and Light He can be understood and
approached by man. St. Meikandan says that God pervades everything with his
Chit or Arul Sakti just like the Light of the sun, and so establishes his
relation with the souls and the world. Hence the connection of the 2<sup>nd</sup>
sutra with the first. As pointed out by the commentator, the second sutra,
defining Chit Sakti, by which alone the relation between God and man and the
world is established and by whose Power alone re-births are induced. With this,
we may compare usefully the definition of God as Spirit. Light and Love by
Bishop Westcott in his commentary on the Epistle of St. John.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">(1) God is spirit. The statement obviously
refers to the Divine nature and not to the Divine personality. The parallel
phrases are a sufficient proof of this. God is not a spirit as one of many, but
‘spirit.’ As spirit, he is absolutely raised above all limitations of
succession (time and space) into which all thoughts of change and
transitoriness are resolved.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">(2) God is light. The statement again is
absolute as to the nature of God, and not as to His actions (not ‘a light’ or
‘the light of man.) The phrase expresses unlimited self-communication,
diffusiveness. Light is by shining; darkness alone bounds. And, further, the
communication of light is of that which is pure and glorious. Such is God
toward all finite being, the condition of life and action. He reveals Himself
through the works of creation which reflect His perfections in a form answering
to the powers of man, and yet God is not to be fully apprehended by man as He
is.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">(3) God is love. In this declaration the
idea of ‘personality’ is first revealed, and in the case of God, necessarily of
a self – sufficing personality. The idea of God is not only that of an
unlimited self-communication, but a self-communication which calls out and receives
a response, which requires the recognition not only of glory but of goodness.
And this love is original and not occasioned. It corresponds to the innermost
nature of God, and finds its sources in Him and not in man. It is not like the
love which is called out in the finite by the sense of imperfection, but is the
expression of perfect benevolence. (Westcott’s “Epistles of John,” pp. 160-1).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

further points out that Hara, Siva, or Rudra of the first Sutra is not to be
confounded with the Rudra of the Indian Trinity. In the working out of the
cosmogony, the Saiva system postulates 36 tatvas from Suddha maya to earth. The
ordinary systems, Sankhya, Ekatma Vada, Pancharatra enumerate tatvas up to
(24), all these being derived from Mulaprakriti or Pradhana.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Beyond these come,
Purusha tatva (25) composed of Vidya (26), Ragam (27), niyati (28), Time (29),
Kala (30), which five are derived from Asuddha Maya (31). Beyond them come
Suddha Vidya (32), Ishwaram (33), Sadakkiam (34), Bindu or Sakti (35) and Nadam
or Siva (36); (Vide table at p. 244 Vol. 1).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">All these proceed
from Suddha Maya, the original Maya called kudilai or Kundalin Sakti, which is
so highly spiritualized and fine and powerful as to be identified with the
Chit-Sakti of the Lord Himself. As these evolve, they form different worlds and
they have their resolution. Various Powers and Principalities preside directly
over these different worlds; and the lowest world is our present one,
proceeding from the gross Mulaprakriti, intended for the class of souls called
Sakalar, who comprise from Brahma and other Gods to men and sentient beings in
this earth. This world is called the Guna world, Mulaprakriti consisting of the
three gunas, Satva, Rajas and Tamas, the worlds above being Nirguna. The Gods
who preside over this world are the three Deities Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra, and
they are Saguna, as also the various Souls of this world. No doubt these mighty
Gods have highly perfected material bodies composed more of Pure Satva Guna
than other elements. Still they have a material clothing just as any other man.

fixed the meaning of the words Saguna and Nirguna, as enveloped in matter and
therefore limited, and as transcending matter, therefore, absolute and
Limitless. We accept Emerson’s definition of Personality who says it signifies
True Being, (Sat) both concrete and Spiritual. It alone is original Being. It
is not limited. Personality is that universal element that pervades every human
soul and which is at once its continent and fount of Being. Distinction from
others and limitation by them results from individuality (Ahankara or Anava)
not Personality (Sat). Personality pertains to the substance of the Soul and
individuality to its form. Another Christian writer (Rev. J. Ivorach) points
out that the absolute and unconditioned. Being is Personal, is not a
contradiction in terms, such as a round square, but that it will be true as
when we say a white or Crimson Square. “When we speak of the absolute we speak
of it as a predicate of Pure Being; we simply mean that absolute Personal Being
is and must be self-conscious, rational and ethical; must answer to the idea of
spirit. Why may not the absolute Being be self-conscious? To deny this to Him
would be to deny to Him one of the perfections which even finite beings may
have.” St. Meikandan stated this truth long ago, in the following words.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Dr. Thibaut had pointed out that the author of the Vedanta Sutras does not
contemplate the distinction of a Saguna and Nirguna God, not that any such
distinction did not exist at the time; but if the author of God, it was of the
Highest One, and not at one time of the Higher God (in Sutra,) and of the lower

the second Sutra, the topics discussed are the relation of God to the world,
the question of the evolution and resolution of the world and how it is brought
about. As in the previous Sutra it was mentioned that God created the world
&c., the questions arise as to how He links himself to the world, whence
the world is created and by what power, and how and why souls are born and
reborn. In connection with these questions, the nature of ‘advaita,’ the nature
of Karma and Maya Malas, and the nature of God’s Chit and Sakti are discussed
by the commentator. In regard to the first question, we have not got the full
commentary of Sivagnana Yogi, but reference made to his views on this question
as they are set out in his commentary of the sixth Sutra.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Of course it is felt at once that this postulate contains a contradiction and a
puzzle. But is there no means of getting rid of this contradiction, and getting
a clearer understanding of the subject. The usual similes given by the various Schools,
are such as gold and ornament </span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Latha",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">பொன்பணிபோலபேதம்

reconciliation is possible with these Betha and Abetha Schools. But St.
Meikandan rejects these similes and gives others instead, in which a
reconciliation is possible. His similes are body and mind (</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Latha",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">உடல் உயிர்போல் அபேதம்</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">) (including the simile of vowel and consonant), the
sun or light and the eye </span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Latha",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">கண் அருக்கன்போல்பேதம்</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">, the soul or mind and the eye (</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Latha",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">கண்ணொளியின் ஆன்மபோதம்போல பேதாபேதம்</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">). In all these instances, though a
difference in substance may be felt, an identity is also perceived. These
objects cannot be separated, one is not the other, and yet one could not exist
or act without the other. The union here is not like that of any union or
relation that we know of two material objects in the world, but is that of two
substances in different planes like mind and body and yet coming into union and
oneness. And we know how Dr. Bain got puzzled over this unique union, and felt
the contradiction that existed on the conjunction of matter the extended, and
mind the unextended and complained that there was not even a single analogy to
illustrate this union. And we refer our readers to our article on ‘vowels and
consonants’ or Mind and Body in Vol. II. P. 13.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

was the merit of St. Meikandan to fully illustrate and illuminate the subject
for the first time, and the greatest distinction of his philosophy consists in
the peculiar view of <i>advaitam</i>
postulated by him, differing from all the views of the different schools, and
yet harmonizing them all, so as to make it an universal system of philosophy.
We strictly follow the Vedic Text “Ekamevadvitiyam Brahma,” “Ekameva
Rudranadhvitiyaya tasteh,” and say God is one and only one without a second,
but not so as to deny the existence of other substances besides God in
relation, but just as we can say there is only the letter A, and no other
letters like consonants. We have stated how this view was nothing new, in a
sense, but this philosophy should have existed from the very beginning of the
Tamil language when they named vowels and consonants as</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Latha",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> உயிர் உடல்</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">,

all the mass of Vedic and Theosophic literature that has come into existence

Professor Kunte for real insight into the nature of Hindu Philosophy, and
critical acumen. And his summary added at the end of the first pada of the
first Adhyaya of His translation of the Brahma Sutras is a most beautiful and
original one, Wonderful as it may seem, both Sivagnana Yogi and Kunte exactly
propound the same questions and give the same answer. He shows how there are
texts in the Upanishads which support the dualistic and monistic view, and the
mainstay of the monists are the Maha Vakya texts and these texts are the great
stumbling block in the path of dualists, and he shows that their interpretation
cannot bear an examination, because the texts evidently do not admit of it, and
all that they say is simply beside the mark.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

There are doubtless a
few texts in the Veda which support the Pantheistic views. Most however support
the Theistic principles. But so long as Pantheistic texts are not explained, the
proposition that the Vedas do not touch Pantheism cannot be accepted. Again,
the adjustment and interpretation of these proposed by the Theists cannot be
accepted because of their being farfetched and forced. But we do not see how
the few Pantheistic texts come in the way of Theism because we believe that
though they be interpreted as the Pantheists do, yet they support Theism. How
can this be? And he proceeds to show how this can only be understood in the
light of Yoga. After instancing the various forms of Bhakti, (Chariya and
Kriya), he says, “But there is a special feature of such adoration – a feature
not included in any of these. It is the ecstatic condition of the spirit, a
condition which can neither be explained nor understood without an illustration.
Let the reader realize the love a mother has for her child. A mother or her
child sometimes experiences a state of mind, an indescribable state. That which
either of them expresses can alone convey an idea of their feelings when they
are in the ecstatic condition. The mother directly addresses the child thus,
‘Oh my piece of gold, Oh, my soul, Oh my life, can I eat you up” </span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Latha",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">தின்பன்

circumstances, the mother forgets that her body is different from that of her
child, which experiences the same felling. Such an <i>identity </i>is the form of the ecstatic condition of the mind. This is
a special feature of adoration. This sort of <i>ecstatic identity</i> the <i>Yogis
feel</i>. Hence in the Veda and in the upanishads, the Pantheistic doctrine of
the identity of the human spirit and the Supreme Spirit, <i>if united is enunciated in this way</i>. Again the Brahma Sutra of Badarayana
does not inculcate it.” And he explains further below. “The characteristic
feature of the Indian Vedanta is its recognition of spirit power, as it is
explained in the Yoga Sutras which systematically lay down the following
propositions. That the Supreme Spirit, or God is <i>related</i> to the human Spirit, that the human spirit has very great <i>potential powers</i> and that of certain
methods of living be adopted, it can <i>call
out its powers</i> and become <i>actually
able to know the past and the future</i>, and that the spirit disenthralled
from the flesh is ultimately <i>absorbed in
one sense </i>into the Supreme Spirit. The Yoga system is properly the back
bone of the Vedanta.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Upanishad really means the same thing as ‘Yoga.’ Yoga means the Sadana required

of the Sadana whereby man comes nearer and nearer to God, by destroying the
bonds that bind him. The root meaning (<i>upa</i>-near,

below (chandog 1-1-10) and in several others, the word Upanishad is used as a
synonym for Yoga. And this derivation really explains the scope of an
Upanishad, a misunderstanding of which has led to no end of confusion. The

the Upanishad writers, Sankhyans, and Yogins, and Siddhantis state this

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> He
paraphrases the sentence as follows, “We all reflecting as a mirror the
character of Christ are transformed into the same image from character to
character – from a poor character to a better one, from a better one to one a
little better still, from that to one still more complete, until by slow
degrees the perfect image is attained. Here the solution of the problem of
sanctification is compressed into a sentence, reflect the character of Christ,
and you will become like Christ,” or as we will say, reflect the image of God
in yourself, and you will become God like, or God.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> But
how is the poor character to be made better and better, or the reflecting image
clearer and clearer? It is by cleansing the mirror (soul) freer and freer from
dirt, and bringing it more and more in line with the effulgent light, that this
can be effected, and when the mirror is absolutely perfect and nearest, the
light shines brightest, and so overpowers the mirror, that the mirror is lost
to view, and the glory and Light of the Lord is felt. For, observes the learned
Professor truly, “What you are conscious of is the ‘glory of the Lord.’ And
what the world is conscious of, if the result be a true one, is also the glory
of the Lord. In looking at a mirror one does not see the mirror or think of it,
but only of what it reflects. For a mirror never calls attention to itself –
except when there are flaws in it.” These flaws are the colours of the
Siddhanti who compares them to the maya or body. In union with the body, it is
the body alone that is cognized, and not the mirror-like soul. In union wish
God, the Glory and Light alone is perceived and not the mirror like soul
either! And the Professor declares, “All men are mirrors - that is the first law on which this formula
(of sanctification or corruption) is based. One of the aptest descriptions of a
human being is that he is a mirror,” and we must beg our readers to go through
the whole pamphlet to note how beautifully he draws out this parallel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> He
notes the second principle which governs this process, namely, the law of assimilation
or identification. “This law of assimilation is the second and by far the most
impressive truth which underlies the formula of sanctification – the truth that
men are not only mirrors, but that these mirrors, so far from being mere
reflectors of the fleeting things they see, transfer into their own inmost
substance and hold in permanent preservation the things that they reflect. No
one can know how the soul can hold these things. No one knows how the miracle
is done. No phenomenon in nature, no process in chemistry, no chapter in
Necromancy can even help us to begin to understand this amazing operation. For
think of it, the past is not only focussed there in a man’s soul, it is there.
How could it be reflected from there if it were not there? All things he has
ever seen, known, felt believed of the surrounding world, are now within him
have become part of him in part are him – he <i>has been changed into their image</i>.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> The
Professor instances from Darwin, how in the working out of this principle of association
and assimilation or identity in the human and animal evolution, persons ever
associated with pigs get piggy faces, and with horses horsey faces. In the case
of a husband and wife when they have been perfectly loving, it has been found
to effect a complete assimilation of their features. Such is the power of the
human mind, both a demerit, and a merit; it can lower itself to the very depths
of the brute, or it can rise to the very height of Godhood. This law is spoken
of in our text books as the law of ‘Garuda thvanam.’ The writer of the book
“Spiritual Law in the natural world’ (Purdy Publishing Co, Chicago) observes
that, ‘all who have made a study of the cause of all things have become so <i>at one with it</i>, as to have causing
power, for it is an invariable rule, that <i>we
become like what we study or are closely associated with</i>. We become so like
people, with whom we live constantly that often the expression of face and
sound of voice grow similar, and even the features grow alike. Sometimes a
child will look more like its nurse than its mother.” And the whole book is an
exposition of this principle, and it holds out as a Sadana for spiritual
elevation, that a man should firmly believe that there is no world, no untruth,
no sin, no sickness, no death and he is a child of God, that there is only His
Truth, Power Love and Presence in this universe and nothing but this, that he
is not material but spiritual and he is the reflection of God, the image and
likeness of God, and then he can truly conquer sickness and death, and become
truly the Son of God. This is exactly the Sohambavana or Sivohambavana. And the
following verse of St. Arulnanthi Sivacharya sums up the whole teaching.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

that the all-knowing and all-pervading Paramesvara undoes the universe for His

Isvara, who is all-knowing and of unfailing will, and who knows that the pain
of jiva who is no other than Himself is His own pain, engages in the creation
of the universe, which as leading to samsara is an evil, and does not abstain
from creation for His own good. Accordingly, once it is proved that Jiva and
Paramesvara are one, there follows this incongruity, that Paramesvara, though
all-knowing, is guilty of a want of sense in so far as He abstains from what is

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">(<i>Answer</i>): - No; we do not establish that
sort of Visishtadvaita which takes the form of duality and non-duality. We are not
the advocates of an absolute distinction between Brahman and the universe as
between a pot and a cloth, because of its opposition to the sruti declaring
that they are not quite distinct from each other. Neither are we the advocates
of an absolute identity as of the mother-o-pearl and silver one of them being
illusory; for, it is opposed to the sruti which points to a difference in the
inherent attributes of Brahman and the universe. Nor do we hold to duality and
non-duality, which is opposed to the nature of things. On the other hand, we
maintain that the unity of the conditioned Brahman – as the cause and the effect
– is like that of the body and the embodied, or like that of the substance and
its attribute. By unity of Brahman and the universe, we mean their
inseparability like that of clay and the pot as cause and effect, or like that
of the substance and its attribute. A pot, indeed, is not seem apart from clay,
nor is the blue lotus seen apart from the colour blue. Similarly, apart from
Brahman, no potentiality of the universe can exist; nor is Brahman even known
apart from His potentiality of the universe just as fire is not seen apart from
its heat. Whatever is not known apart from something else, the former must ever
be conditioned by the latter, and this latter is naturally one with the former.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Wherefore Brahman
who is in no way separable from the universe is said to be one with the other.
And there is a natural distinction between the two; so that the supreme Brahman
is ever higher than the universe. As to their distinction as the cause and the
effect, it has been already explained in II.i.9. Wherefore this theory is quite
unopposed to the Srutis declaring distinction as well as non-distinction.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">(<i>Answer</i>): - No, because of an incongruity. Jiva and Isvara cannot be
identical, because, like the insentient stone, timber, grass, etc., the jiva
also is, on account of ignorance etc., said to belong to quite a distinct class
from the Isvara who is possessed of such attributes as omniscience. Therefore,
Isvara is a distinct entity from Jiva. Thus even the Jiva, sentient as he is,
cannot be identical with Isvara owing to this difference, that the latter is
superior. Much less can the insentient existence which is essentially different
be identical with Isvara. From all stand points of view by Sruti, Smriti and
reasoning, we see that the omniscient and omnipotent Paramesvara is quite
superior to the whole universe, sentient and insentient though as His own
emanation, it is not altogether distinct from Him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">This passage may
be explained as follows: The origin, existence and end of all this depends on
Brahman. All this, both the sentient and the insentient existence, is verily
Brahman, and therefore let a man meditate on Brahman tranquil in mind. Just as
water bubbles which have their origin existence and end in the ocean, are found
to be only forms of that ocean, so, too, that which depends for its origin
etc., on Brahman associated sakti must be made up of Brahman and nothing else.
Nothing distinct from Him is ever perceived. Accordingly, in the Atharvasiras
it has been declared by Isana as follows:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

declared by Him in the words “I am Brahman,” that the whole universe is His own
form. And in the words “He entered the more hidden from (or <i>than</i>) the hidden one” etc., His entering
into the universe is given as a reason for the whole universe being His own
form. Thus, this universe having no origin, existence or end outside Brahman,
it is not a quite distinct thing from Brahman. Accordingly, the learned way: -<o:p></o:p></span></div>

supreme energy belongs to the supreme Atman, since the two are related to each other

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">In short, on the
authority f Sruti, Smriti, Itihasa, Purana and the saying of the learned, the
Supreme Sakti – whose manifold manifestation this whole universe of chit and
achit is, whose being is composed of Supreme Existence, Intelligence and Bliss
and is unlimited by space and time – is inherent in the nature of Siva, the
Supreme Brahman, and constitutes His own essential form and quality. Apart from
Sakti He cannot be the Omniscient, the Omnipotent, the cause of all, the
all-controlling, the all adorable, the all-gracious, the means of attaining all
aspirations, and the omnipresent; and, moreover, such grand designations as ‘<i>Mahesvara</i>’ the Supreme Lord, ‘<i>Mahadeva</i>’ the supreme deity, and ‘<i>Rudra</i>’ the expeller of pain, cannot
apply to Him. Thus it is Brahman whose body is the whole sentient and
insentient universe, and who is denoted by all words. Just as the word ‘blue’
denotes not the blue colour only, but also the lotus which is of blue colour,
so does the word ‘universe’ also denotes Brahman. Therefore, such passages as
“All is Rudra verily” teach that Brahman is denoted by all words. Accordingly,
the passage “All this, verily is Brahman” refers to Brahman whose body the
whole of the sentient and insentient universe is. The universe being thus a
form of Brahman and being therefore not an object of hatred etc., let everyone
be peaceful at heart and worship Brahman. This doctrine is clearly expounded
even in the puranic texts such as the following: -<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“The body of the
God of Gods is this universe, moving and unmoving. This, the Jivas (Pasus) do
not know, owing to the mighty bondage. They say sentiency is Vidya, and
insentience Avidya. The whole universe of Vidya and Avidya, is no doubt the
body of the Lord, the Father of all; for the whole universe is subject to Him.
The word ‘sat’ is used by the wise to denote the real and the good, and ‘asat’
is used by Vedic teachers to denote the contrary. The whole universe of the <i>sat</i> and the <i>asat </i>in the body of Him who is on high. Just as, by the watering of
the roots of a tree, its branches are nourished, so by the worship of Siva, the
universe which is body is nourished. Atman is the eighth body of Siva the
Paramesvara, pervading all other bodies. Wherefore the whole universe is
ensouled by Siva. If any embodied being whatsoever be subjected to constraint
it will be quite repugnant to the eight handed lord; as to this there is no
doubt. Doing good to all kindness to all, affording shelter to all – this, they
hold is the worshipping of Siva.” And so on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Brahman being
all-formed, it is but right to say “all is Brahman” and “let everyone be
peaceful and worship Brahman.” Wherefore it is Brahman who in the opening
passage is stated to be the object of worship, that is also spoken of as
Manomaya, as partaking of the nature of manas, and so on. Neither should it be
supposed that the partaking of the nature of manas is a characteristic mark of
a samsarin; for Brahman may limit Himself by assuming a shape which can form an
object of worship.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

difference then between the way the subject is treated by Srikanta and St.
Meikandan has to be noted. Srikanta calls this relation following Badarayana as
one of cause and effect and smells of Parinama though the illustration of body

two kinds of <i>Tadanmiyam</i>. One

relating to the <i>anubhava</i> of the soul
in God, and he begins with quoting the text that “Sivanubhava is Sivanubhava.”
And he meets the first objection raised, to the effect that if the soul has
such experience, such will be material, by saying that as the knowledge of God
is itself not to be compared to our ordinary human knowledge, and as it is only
derived by thought without thought, so this anubhava is also derived similarly
by ‘</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Latha",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">சுட்டிறந்து நின்றனுபவித்தல்</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">.’ and we have shown in our notes to Sutra
XI (Sivagnanabotham English Translation) how this Sivanubhavam is Svanubhavam
and though the soul it is that enjoys, its being not conscious of such
enjoyment is what saves it from the experience introducing any duality.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> Our
Yogi further shows that this Sivanhubhava is blissful, and is therefore called <i>Anandam</i> and <i>Parama-sukam</i>, and the word <i>Ananda</i>
is derived from <i>Nandam</i> (<i>Cf</i> nandi) with the addition of the
upasargam ‘A’ and this is derived by the knowledge of soul of the Blissful and
Perfect Glory of the Lord covering and clothing it on all sides, and soaking
through and through its inmost nature.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

answer to <i>Sivasamavadis</i>, he points
out that the word does not mean the equality of the two Padarthas as soul and
God, in as much as God is incomparable, having neither equal nor superior and
that there can be no such substance which can be said to cover God, in the same
way no darkness can cover the sun, and the real significance of the word is
that in our Sadana, we must so prepare ourselves by purification that the whole
light of God can cover and clothe us fully leaving no facet uncovered, just as
a crystal should be covered fully by the ruby light.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

any think or facet was left out, it will reflect something other than God and
enter into <i>Bhandam</i>. This full
clothing in the Glory of God is becoming Siva Samam, or equal to God.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> This
will close the discussion on <i>advaita </i>and
before we do so, we will refer our readers to the opinion of a great Sanskrit scholar,
who though a follower of Sri Sankara perceives the absurd lengths to which that
philosophy has been drawn, and defines <i>advaita</i>
exactly like the Siddhantis as meaning <i>ananyatva</i>
(inseparability) and not eka or <i>abinna</i>
or <i>abheda</i> and we make therefore no
apology for quoting his opinion at length. Says Manilal N. Dvivedi in his
“Monism or Advaitism.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> “Thus
all is reducible, according to the Advaitavada, into one primordial substance
which, for the present, we may continue to call <i>Prakriti</i>. The next step, the most difficult one, is to assert that <i>Prakriti </i>and <i>Purusha</i> are one and the same thing – <i>dead matter</i>, as such, is nowhere to be found, nor is ‘<i>mind</i> (purusha) ever to be seen without
it. In other words, mind without matter and matter without mind, (thought
without being and vice versa) is a logical as well as natural absurdity and all
<i>dwaita</i> – duality – is an entire
misconception. There is no <i>dwaita </i>–
duality. We are to mark the carefulness with which the expression is chosen.
All is A-Dwaita, not all is Eka (one i.e., <i>duality</i>
is <i>denied</i>, but the convertibility of
matter and mind, is <i>not asserted</i>. *
[*</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">See the Brahmasutra Book
II, VI where both are said to be ananya inseparable) but not Abhinna (one) see
also the Bhamati</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">.] Herein will
appear a sharp line of distinction between <i>Monism</i>
and <i>Adwaitism</i>. But this distinction
will appear on careful consideration, to be more imaginary than real for, where
Adwaitism maintains the <i>inseparability </i>of
mind and matter, Monism maintains the possibility of deriving the former from
the potentialities of the latter. Either way, nothing more nor less is
asserted, nor indeed, can be asserted, than the <i>inseparability of mind and matter</i>. This view of the Advaita
naturally leads to the question. What is the <i>nature </i>of the two terms of this unity? The <i>Adwaita-Vada</i> does not recognize the distinction of mind and matter
to consist in the phenomena of <i>force</i>
or <i>energy</i>, nor even in the
manifestation of the “<i>mysterious vital
force</i>”; for these it agrees with monism in regarding as sufficiently
explicable from the potentiality of matter. To be brief, force or vital force
is the <i>Prana </i>of <i>Adwaitism</i> – a kind of <i>vayu</i>,
sensation, volition, and reason, the functions of mind, are in a sense
deducible from matter. But, the very elementary notion which is the counterpart
of matter, is <i>knowing</i> – gnana. It
being so, we must finally dismiss and clearness, as it is incapable of
conveying to us the idea of the antithesis of <i>knowing</i> and <i>not knowing</i>,
implied by the terms mind and matter in <i>Adwaitism</i>.
Mind, as understood by <i>Adwaitism</i>, is
not the <i>ultimate </i>and <i>simple </i>result of our analysis of nature;
but it is an intermediate complex phenomenon or organic development. <i>Adwaitism</i> defines the ultimate and
simple factor of all our knowledge as <i>that
which while cognizing phenomena remains itself unaltered and unaffected</i>. *
[* </span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Brhadarnyaka</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">] The eye which does not change with
changing phenomena it perceives, may be the ultimate fact of our intellectual
perceptions’ but as its conditions – shortness, blindness, dimness etc. – are
cognized by the mind which, for the time, remains unchanged, the mind may, in
all probability, be this fact. But the mind i.e., volition, reason, feeling
etc., is cognized, in its turn, by a something which is not cognized by
anything else, for it is unique and unchanging. This something, then, is the
ultimate, unique, self-cognizant and constant fact of all our perceptions, the
fact which underlies all nature, in and <i>through</i>
which everything is. There is no ignoring it, for in the very act we admit it.
It is the very essence (<i>esse</i> Being)
of Nature. It is unconditioned, and therefore indescribable; it is unique and
constant, therefore eternal. In its uniqueness there is no diversity and
therefore no evil as such, it being the result of duality! The pure <i>esse</i> is all bliss, all love the <i>unity</i> that knows no limit (<i>parichheda</i>) either <i>qualitative</i> or <i>quantitative</i>.
It is <i>its </i>neither he nor she. Of it
is all <i>Being</i> (sat), all thought
(chit), all joy (ananda). These three words sat, chit, ananda are an
approximate expression of the Inexpressible, Ineffable Reality – Thought Being.
Thus we see that we must not call it mind, nor even soul; for soul implies
individuality – limit (parichheda) which the unlimited and unconditioned knows
not. Let us then call it by its proper Sanskirta name, chit. Thought as
contradistinguished from matter, the indescribable Being. We shall shortly have
to replace the word matter also, by an equally significant <i>Sanskrita</i> correlative of <i>chit</i>.
What is matter? What is <i>prakriti</i>? The
question is already answered when we say that it is never independent of <i>chit</i>. We can never conceive of matter
but <i>in</i> and <i>through chit</i>, and can therefore never say <i>what it is</i>. <i>Ignoramus</i> is
the only way out of the difficulty. And yet do we say that it <i>does not exist</i>? Again <i>Ignoramus</i>. Matter <i>exists</i>, but not as an ultimate and simple invariable fact of our
perceptions like <i>chit</i>, for it takes
on itself in any changes of <i>name </i>and <i>form</i>. Though the limited character of
our subjective nature denies to us real knowledge of matter per se, we cannot
rid ourselves of all idea of its objectivity. It is neither <i>existent </i>nor nor-existent, that is, it
does not exist in the same sense as the horns of a hare. It is neither <i>esse</i>, nor n-<i>esse</i>; neither <i>sat </i>nor <i>asat</i> – it is Indescribable. We are only
cognizant of the various <i>shapes</i> it
passes through, but of its nature as matter we know absolutely nothing. We know
that it is, we do not know that it is not, we <i>must</i> call it indescribable. And why is it so? It is, and it must be
so from the very necessities of our nature –f rom <i>chit </i>being never apart from <i>matter</i>,
and matter being never separate from <i>chit</i>.
Thought and Being are always inseparable; subject and object are always one.
All our knowledge, in fact consist of chit and forms of matter. The former <i>constant</i> and <i>eternal</i>, the latter <i>changing</i>
and <i>non-eternal</i>; both always
inseparable, whence the text “this universe is a compound of Truth and untruth,
Real and unreal.” * [* </span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Brhadarnyaka</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">] We have in this short analysis tried to
examine the nature of <i>chit</i> as well as
<i>matter</i>, and have arrived at the
following results. Of <i>chit</i> we have
seen that it is unconditioned unique, eternal and therefore free from evil. Of
matter, which is a complex phenomenon, we have determined that: -<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> And
lastly, as to the relation of <i>chit</i>
and matter we have seen that <i>chit </i>and
<i>matter</i> are not separable, thought and
being are one, and the universe consists, therefore of the real and the unreal
mixed together.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> In
its three aspects, <i>prakrti </i>has three
different names (I) Agnana, (II) Anirvachaniya, (III) Maya. The first name, <i>A </i>(not) gnana (knowing), nay naturally
lead one to believe that it is the <i>negation</i>
of gnana; i.e., mere blank, ignorance; but as the foregoing explanation must
have clearly shown, it is not the negation of anything, but a <i>positive entity</i> of which <i>we know nothing</i>, and it is therefore
called Agnana, for want of a better word. Though Agnana is opposed to gnana
which is <i>chit</i>, it is not destruction
of the latter, for it is not a negation, but a positive substance which exists
in and of <i>chit</i>. The second name <i>Anirvachaniya</i> (indescribable), though
plain enough, has also caused equal confusion. We have seen that <i>prakrti</i> is neither existence (sat), nor <i>non-existence</i> (asat); and is therefore
indescribable. This is twisted in a manner to make this state appear as absurd
as possible by saying that it is equal to the assumption of a positive middle
between <i>sat</i> and <i>asat</i>, which cannot logically follow. The third name <i>Maya</i> is like Agnana and <i>Anirvachaniya</i>, a bone of contention
among the various scholastic philosophers of India, and has given rise to such
cob-webs of impenetrable metaphysics that those who do not care to look deeper
are easily led to regard the whole philosophy as mere nonsense. <i>Maya</i> means illusion; <i>prakrti </i>is an illusion no doubt, but not
an illusion in the sense of having no basis to stand upon. This basis cannot be
<i>chit </i>which is never variable; but it
is itself – the indescribable, as we shall just see. Inasmuch as it passes into
<i>many shapes</i> without allowing us to
penetrate the veil that covers it, it is nothing more nor less than an
illusion; but that it must <i>exist </i>is a
necessity of thought, and its existence in <i>some
form</i> cannot be an illusion. The subtleties of scholastic metaphysics suggest
that it is an illusion out and out, <i>chit </i>being
sufficient to send forth these illusions from within itself. Nothing can,
however, be further from the truth which this philosophy teaches. In the first
place <i>chit</i> is formless, constant,
unique. How in the world can this pass into any shapes? We may be, and are,
conscious of the illusion, in and through it of course; but the source of the
illusion is not to be sought out of itself but <i>within</i> itself. Hence Maya does not mean illusion out and out, but
illusion so far as the many <i>names </i>and
<i>forms</i> of <i>prakrti</i> are concerned. * [* </span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">See especially a brief verse (20) in the <i>Drgdrasya viveka</i> <i>of Bharatirtha</i> appended to my <i>Rajayoga</i></span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">.] But though there is thus a substratum
for this illusion, <i>apart from chit,</i>
it does not subvert the theory of the <i>Advaita</i>,
for in the very beginning of our explanation we have shown that <i>Advaita</i> does not mean the existence of a
<i>single substance</i>, nor even the unity
of the matter and mind, but their inseparability. <i>Advaita</i> means, <i>non-dvaita,
non-duality</i>, Thought and being are inseparable, not one. This idea is
expressed by the word Brahma (something large enough, unlimited), a name
common, as it must be to chit as well as prakrti, for both are inseparable. The
universe is Brahman, so then, prakrti is Agnana, Anirvachaniya, Maya ˰† [† </span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The two aspects of <i>Prakrti Agnana</i> and <i>Maya</i>
are sometimes called its two <i>Saktis</i>

contra-distinguished from <i>chit</i> it is
called <i>jada</i> (dead matter), which name
we shall, hereafter, adopt for matter. <i>Chit
</i>and <i>jada</i> are inseparable, and
are, therefore, Brahma, the sole Ineffable Reality. <i>Brahma</i> is called <i>Brahma</i> the
unconditioned, which requires no explanation. It is called also Atman, which,
being generally translated by the word <i>self</i>,
for want of a better one is likely to be misunderstood. Some argue that the
sages of the Upanishads believed that every object has a <i>self</i>, and all the <i>self’s</i>,
so to speak, being one are called <i>Atman</i>,
by way of expressing the <i>reflective</i>
notion. This language is ambiguous, if not wrong. Self implies individually
which is a foreign to the nature of <i>Brahma</i>,
but as all individuality is in and of Brahma self, soul-individuality is said
to be the same as, inseparable from, Brahma. It is in this double sense of <i>self </i>and <i>Brahma</i>, of the inseparability of the two, that the word <i>Atman</i> is used. It is something like the
Platonic <i>Demiurges</i>, not this or that
self, but the supreme self, the unconditioned <i>Brahma</i>. So then, just as <i>Prakrti</i>,
Agnana, <i>Anirvachaniya</i>, and <i>Maya</i>, * [* </span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">There is one more name, <i>Avidya</i>, which is only a minor technicality, and will be explained

in this sense, for we sometimes find them used for more chit, as opposed to <i>jada</i></span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">.] are names of the inseparability of the true, the
universe as a whole, <i>Advaita</i>. We have
thus seen what simple scientific meaning Advaita bears, notwithstanding the
many metaphysical subtleties which uselessly mystify its import. This
philosophy recognizes no <i>duality</i>, and
asserts no <i>unity</i>, but maintains
inseparability, whence the name Advaita, non-duality, - in other words, not
A-bheda – unity, but <i>Ananyatva </i>–
inseparability. Real knowledge is the knowledge of the Advaita – the gnana; for
Brahma is the only Reality, in all time and all places of its true factors chit
is the only thing constant and unique * [* </span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">That chit is unique and constant is proved by an
appeal to experience. If it were changing, all our knowledge of the past as
connected with the present, in such forms as I who was a child are now a mar,
would be impossible even the unity of our sleeping, dreaming and making
experience will be broken. Hence it is the absolute; even Relativity is
knowable through it – Panchadasi</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">.]

illusory. All substances, whether inorganic or organic, are known to exist as
subjects or objects of joy, only because they possess chit; sat, and ananda.
These three which are constant, plus name and form (Maya) which are not
constant, constitute Brahma, the whole of the universe, the absolute Reality,
the true Advaita.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

they say that those who assert the reality of Pasu and Pasa (souls and matter,
& c.,) will be ascribing a defect to God’s omnipresence because where these
<i>Pasu</i> and <i>Pasa </i>exist, there will be no place for God. This objection is
pressed by them from their knowledge of finite material objects possessing
extension. For this reason, that, except for extended finite objects, there is
no limitation arising from the existence of other objects for the unextended
infinite Satchidananda God. As the Supreme One is the unextended (Niravayava)
infinite Satchidananda, He is eternally in inseparable union and one with the
eternally existing Chit and Achit contained in him, and so this omnipresence
will in no way be subject to any defect. This nature of His is such as no
mortal can know or describe. Hence it is the great Vedas get tired in
describing “Him as beyond reach of thought and speech,” and as ‘Anirthesiam.’
In this sense again do the Tamil Vedas speak of Him as ‘The Supreme One of the
Vedas beyond reach of thought and speech.” It is difficult for man to grasp the
subtle manner in which even among material objects, air, fire, water, and earth
one grosser than the other, are all contained in the subtle Akas. How thou can
man, who being bound in body and senses formed of maya, and gaining with this
help and the little intelligence, which can be compared to the light of the
firefly, derived from the study of the Vedas and other arts, etc., formed of
Sabda arising from the <i>Suddha Maya Nadha
Vritti Karyam</i>, think they have known everything, and think they are God,
but are really ignorant being only puffed up with <i>Pasabheda</i>, how can he understand the nature of Parabrahmam who
bring the unextended, infinite sat, chit, and ananda is omnipresent in all

purvapakshin sees no way of getting out of the difficulty than by postulating
the unreality of matter; and he thinks “the existence of God is conceivable
only if the universe is more appearance and not reality (mere maya) and not the
<i>atman</i>; and it breaks down
irretrievably, should this empirical reality; wherein we live, be found to
constitute the true essence of things, and the clinching argument by which this
thesis is supported is quoted from the Professor above. But as we pointed out
in our note to the 2<sup>nd</sup> sutra in Sivagnanabodham, it is a
contradiction to call space infinite, as without the idea of finiteness, the
notion of space is inconceivable, and if it is matter that fills space, being
extended, mind is intelligence or chit and being unextended and space less can
be present in matter, without being obstructed by matter and though we could
not easily conceive how mind and body, the unextended and the extended are in
union, a union which Bain characterises as a puzzle and as a contradiction yet
the fact of union cannot be disputed. And we had pointed out how the conception
of omnipresence is itself derived from the existence of matter. So where the
difficulty present to the mind of the Purvapakshina can be thus easily removed,
why should they go to the extent of whittling away the existence and reality of
mala. According to Advaita Siddhanta (we thought we had brought the word into
use, but our Yogi uses the word at p. 116 as “our Advaita-Siddhanta” besides
formulating its reality and its underivability as an effect, nothing else is
asserted. As illustrated by the analogy of vowels and consonants, its
dependence on mind, its inseparability, its insignificance and powerlessness
independent of mind are all admitted. If there is anyone antagonist whom the
Sutrakara attacks more than another, it is the Kapila Sankhya. The Sankhya
admitted the existence of matter and souls, Prakriti and Purusha. What he
denied was the existence of God. And the way he denied was this matter was
independent of mind, and it possessed potentialities and powers independent of
mind, and it could evolve and resolve by its own motion, matter solely existed
for the salvation of man; and so no God was required who performed the five
functions. Kapila accomplished this by solely asserting the independence of
matter; and the sutra kara struck at its root by denying its independence, and
shows everywhere how without God, matter existed not and could not be brought
into being and could not evolve as without the vowel, no consonant can come
into being and have any power. The Sutrakara did not deny the existence of
Purusha and Prakriti, but there existed <i>another</i>,
on which this was dependent. And the word ‘Another,’ ‘anyata’ has thus become a
mark or technical term denoting God; and the Sutrakara discusses it in the
antaradikaram in Sutra 21 of the first Pada of first Adhyaya. And Dr. Thibaut
translates it as follows.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

within, he is the self, the ruler within, the immortal.’ (Brihad Up. III. 7.9)
Here the expression, ‘He within the sun whom the sun does not know,’ clearly
indicates that the rules within is distinct from the cognizing individual soul
whose body is the sun; With that Ruler within, we have to identify the person
within the sun, according to the tenet of the sameness of purport of all

ruler within, the immortal.” (III. 7. 2.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> The
usual misconception about this text is, and especially of the words ‘he is thy
atma,’ is that God and the individual’s own atma are identical. But as the
whole text shows, ‘all are but parts of a stupendous whole, whose soul God is.’
This chetana and achetana Prapancha constitutes his sarira, body, and God is
the atma within and different from it. So in the case of the individual atma,
he also constitutes the body of God, and his soul will be God. So the
expression, soul of soul and Life of Life, Light of Light have come into use.
So the text ‘He is thy atma’ means simply ‘God is the soul’s soul.’<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to revert to the original theme, Professor Deussen has frequent qualms of
conscience whenever he reads such passages in the Upanishads in which God is
spoken of as ‘another.’<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> “Or
when in Svet. I.6, the distinction of Soul and God (swan and drover) is
explained to be illusory, and at the same time, the removal of this illusion
appears as a grace of the Supreme God, who is thereby contrasted with the soul
as <i>another</i>.” (Philosophy of the
Upanishads p. 178). Professor Deussen gets out of the difficulty by dividing
roughly the Upanishads into Pantheistic and theistic Upanishads, and ascribing
these sentiments to the latter. Yet he says that Mundaka Upanishad which
according to him breaths a pantheistic spirit quotes the above cited passage
from the theistic Svetasvatara. And he is not satisfied with this
classification as he is conscious that ‘beneath the characters of theism are
discerned, half obliterated those of pantheism and under the latter again those
of idealism.” And his concluding consolation is “that the Svetasvatara is a
work brim-full of contradictions.” But the Professor’s difficulty is that he
could not think any intelligent and correct Philosophy could exist other than
Pantheism or idealism, and of course, any philosophy reconciling theism and
Pantheism dvaita and advaita, Sankhya and Yoga is not possible. Curiously
enough however, the Sutra-kara proves the otherness of God by quoting the
Brihadaranya, which Professor Deussen places at the very head of all the
Pantheistic Upanishads, and as the most ancient of all. In passing we may
observe that in Gita chap. XV. Verses 16 and 17, the distinction we have been
noting above of the two Padartas and <i>another
</i>is also clearly brought out; and we had elsewhere pointed out how verse 16
states the Sankhyan Purvapaksha view and verse 17, the Siddhanta.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

now pass on to the other matters discussed in the second sutra. The theory of
Karma is discussed but there is nothing especially noticeable herein, as the
theory is common to all the Indian Schools except the Charvaka.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> In
regard to the theory of Maya, our Yogi has very interesting criticisms to
offer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> He
calls Maya a power or sakti of God but to be distinguished from His <i>Tadanmiya</i> Sakti, as His Will and Intelligence.
It should not be confounded even with his Kriya Sakti. It is called hence his <i>parigraha</i> sakti. As we write this, our
will and intelligence come into play; but the pen with which we are enabled to
put down these thoughts in visible form is also our Sakti. The former
constitutes our Sakti, indistinguishable from our self and the latter,
distinguishable, is the <i>parigaraha</i>
sakti. Maya is divisible into two, <i>Suddha
Maya</i> and <i>Asuddha Maya</i>. Some say
that Asuddha Maya is a product of Suddha Maya, and others that both are
original; and there are others again, who call the one <i>Urdhva Maya</i> and the other <i>Atho
Maya</i>. From <i>Suddha Maya</i> are
produced Pancha kala, and four <i>vach</i>
and 31 tatvas from time to earth distinguished as Pure or Suddha or Subtle.
From Asuddha maya is produced the 31 gross tatvas from time to earth. These
tatvas are called general (</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Latha",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">பொது</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">) and special (</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Latha",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">சிறப்பு</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">)
and general-and-special. The tatvas governing Bhuvana &c. are called
General as they can be sensed by all. Tatvas forming Sukshuma Sarira being
connected with each individual’s own enjoyment are called special. The tatvas
forming the Sthula Sarira are called general and special, as they can be
enjoyed by the individual and by others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> The
first thing to be noticed in the theory of this School is its postulating 11
tatvas more than any other School. All the other Schools stop with the 25<sup>th</sup>
tatva or Mulaprakriti but the Siddhanta postulates above these much finer and
subtler forces of Nature which would give room to anything Western Science
could discover even in the far distant future. These are ‘Nadam,’ or Siva
tatva, ‘Bindu’ or Sakti tatva, Sadakkiam, Iswaram, Suddha-Vidya, Asuddha-maya,
Niyati, Time (Kala), Kala, Ragam, and Vidya.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> It
will be noticed that in the ordinary scheme, Time is not included. It is such a
power that it is the highest postulate of the School of Kala Brahmavadis, when
Buddhi and Chittam and Manas are regarded as material products, the Siddhanti
does not hesitate to postulate willing and desiring also of matter, and far
higher forms of material intelligence called Kala and Vidya. And the one thing
noticeable in all nature is its unvarying uniformity. This is <i>niyati</i>. For the textual authorities and
order bearing on the subject, please see Srila Sri Senthinatha Iyer’s Tatva
Prakasa Catechism (Vol. III. P. 205, Siddhanta Deepika). We may however quote
the texts from the Swetasvatara and Brihad Jabala, which from want of the key,
supplied by the Puranas and agamas, oriental scholars have not been able to
interpret at all “Kalasvabho niyatir ichchabhutani yonih purushaiti chintyam’,
Svetas. I.2. (of this Svabho is Kala, Ichcha and Ragam are synonymous, Bhuta is
Vidya, yoni is maya).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> “Do
you say that there is no other entity as mala (anava) and that it is only the
effect of Maya? Understand well that Maya causes Ichcha, Jnana, and Kriya to
arise in the Jivas but Anava causes them to disappear. Anava is inherent in
Jivas, whereas Maya is separate from them and besides manifesting itself as the
universe, form the body, senses and enjoyments.” (II. 5. 1 and 2)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> In
the illustration of the mirror and the colours the dirt that covers the mirror
(jiva) is the anavamala and the colours are the Maya or prakriti. This dirt and
colours have to be distinguished from the inherent power or nature of the soul,

is in a sense inherent and inseparable, and this peculiar connection is brought
out in the simile of copper and its rust, which rises to the surface again and
again after we had cleaned the copper. The maya is like the tamarind or sand or
earth we use for cleaning the copper. Anava is the cause of the rise of Moha,
Matha, Raga, anxiety, Thirst, suffering and vichitra. The effect of maya is to
bring these forces into play and action, and make the soul eat the fruit
thereof, and then attain to a balanced mind (</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Latha",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">இருவினை யொப்பு</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">).
It acts more like a lamp in darkness (</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Latha",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">மாயாதனுவிளக்கு</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">); its power is not large and can in no
way compare with the light of God, Sivasurya, yet it is the only help and power
given to us by God, in our helplessness and misery; and so it is, it is called a
power or Sakti of the Lord.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> Our
commentator first attacks the view that Maya is <i>anirvachana</i>. The Purvapakshin explains this as meaning that maya is
neither an entity nor a non-entity and further states that chit appears as a
shadow (adhyasa) on a mirror (maya), and this shadow appears as earth, water,
air, fire, etc., as water is seen in the mirage, and as the snake appears on
the rope, and the world is but the Vivartana of the chit. His reply is that
there can be no such logical term which is neither real nor unreal and so
cannot be used in philosophy as a real notion, and in the illustration of the mirage
and rope, the mirage and rope are real facts, (the mirage being a peculiar
condition of the atmosphere), and the simile cannot be used to illustrate the
unreality of the world itself. If Vivartana means that one thing appears
another, this illusory appearance is no doubt false. But the world in that
sense is not false, and the false world cannot arise from the true chit. If maya
is anirvachana, its product the world would also be unreal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> Then
he states the objection of the Mayavadi that there is no proof of the object world,
and its existence could neither be proved by perception nor by inference, and
the relation between the perceiving mind and the objects perceived could not be
<i>Tadanmiya</i>, <i>Karanakarya</i>, Sayyoga, Samavaya, nor Vishayi and Vishaya. Our Yogi
replies to every one of these objections and conclusions that the only proof of
the world is by direct perception, and the relation between the mind and the
world is that of subject and object, Vishayi and Vishaya. And it being noted
that this relation is <i>advaita</i> or <i>ananyatva</i>, no question of any reality or
unreality, externality and internality need arise at all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> There
is a further fallacy in the argument of the Purvapakshin when he calls the
shadow or Reflexion of God in mirror or water as the world and souls. This reflexion
or shadow is God’s presence in all chetana and achetana Prapancha which form
His body, ‘Yasya Sarira,’ and is God himself and not the world, or souls though
all this would not come forth unless He ‘breathed forth. The mistake is in
identifying this reflection or Presence of God with the soul, which latter in the
illustration would take the place of crystal or water. The reflection would in
no way be tainted by the impurity of the water or crystal, though for the
moment God becomes concealed to the soul by the intervention of this veil of
dirt or impurity and the soul is denied the Vision Pure ‘</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Latha",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">மாசறு காட்சி</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">.’ This fallacy lies at the root of our ordinary every
day conceptions. Don’t we call a diamond a brilliant? Is this brilliance its
own its svayamprakasa? If so, this brilliance should appear in utter darkness. This
brilliance therefore is not seen to be its own, it simply reflects the light of
the lamp or the Sun. The phrase of St. Appar, </span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Latha",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">வெண்பளிங்கின் உட்பதித்த சோதியானே</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">, ‘The Jyoti fixed inside the white crystal,’ God and
the soul vividly. In fact, all the Light, and Intelligence and Goodness and Beauty
in man and nature is all that of God, and man in himself an empty shell wherein
all this Light and Beauty is bodied forth. “The sun does not shine there, nor
the moon and the stars, nor these lightnings and much less this fire; by His
Light all this is lightened.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is the meaning of the Siva Sama, and it does not mean that soul becomes equal

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> This
will be further explained in the next section, where our Yogi discusses the <i>Parinamavada</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> Our
Yogi points out that God is nowhere called upadana karana or material cause in
the Upanishads, and Sri Senthinathier also points out that the word <i>Parinama</i> also does not occur in the Upanishads,
though the Sutrakara makes it the subject of discussion in I. iv. 27; and
Srikanta Sivacharya in his commentary on the sutra, which we quote below, does
not accept the ordinary signification of the term which means change of one
substance into another but calls it an ‘<i>Apurva
Parinama</i>.’<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> Our
Yogi says that God is not the material cause and He is the <i>Parama adhara Viyapaka Nimitta</i>, He is the infinite support and
efficient cause. If God was the material cause of the world, then He being
chit, the world of matter should also be chit. When the purvapakshin instanced
the case of milk and curds, spider and web, &c. where the cause and effect
do not exhibit the same quality, the commentator remarks that what is meant is
that quality not different from that of the cause should be present in the
milk, and that the web is nor produced from the vital principle of the spider
but from its gross material body. He explains the Vedic Texts which declare
that when “God is known all this is known,’ by pointing out that when God who is
the Possessor or Supporter is known all that He is possessed of is known. He
quotes from <i>Nanmanimalai</i>, the
following: -<o:p></o:p></span></div>

given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of the earth, and every

meat</span></i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> To
thou who are seriously desirous of solving the “Food” question, these words
will appeal with singular force. There is nothing ambiguous about them; nor are
we left in any doubt. We are distinctly told in this chapter of our sacred
Scriptures that although we are to <i>have
dominion</i> over the fish of the sea, the fowl of the air, and over every
living thing that moveth upon the earth, the <i>fruits </i>of the earth only are given to us <i>for meat</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> This
is the plain command of the creator. We are to eat of every herb and of the
fruits of the trees, but we are not commanded to eat herb and of the fruits of
the trees, but we are not commanded to eat of the flesh of animals or of fish;
the vegetable kingdom is expressly reserved and set apart for man’s food; and
this is a fact that cannot be set aside or controverted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> The eating
of flesh by man, however may be traced back to the remotest periods of history.
In the eighth chapter of Genesis we hear of Noah offering burnt offering to the
Lord “of every clean beast and of every fowl,” and it may be inferred from this
that the practice of taking the lives of certain beasts and certain fowls had
existed some time previous to his period. It may also be presumed that since
man had resorted to the practice of taking the lives of animals, it was with
the object of providing himself with food.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> But
it is by no means certain that, because man ate of the flesh of animals, and
offered it as burnt offering to the Lord, the creator necessarily <i>approved</i> of the practice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Noah
was one of the few survivors of a race that had been destroyed <i>because of its sins</i>, and it is
conceivable that to take the lives of God’s creatures and eat their flesh as
meat was among the sins which were an abomination to the Lord, and which caused
Him to destroy the human race.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> We
need hardly go back to Noah’s days to realize that many false sacrifices,
dedications and offerings are made to the Lord, which must be an abomination to
Him; many an act and deed done in the name of Religion which is an outrage to
His Holiness; much shedding of human blood and offering up even of human lives
in the cruelest manner in the name of Christ.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> For
nigh two thousand years’ frightful tortures have been inflicted by man on his
fellows; poor humanity has been persecuted, hunted, imprisoned and slain with
relentless cruelty and cold-blooded ferocity; and since the Redeemer walked the
earth, man has succeeded in deluging the centuries with oceans of innocent
blood poured out in His Holy Name. In comparatively modern times the terrible
Inquisition swallowed up its countless thousands, and even in our own country,
the prison, the faggot and the block have claimed their unoffending and
helpless victims.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Noah,
then, being human, was liable to human weakness, to th evil influence of
inherited sin; to wrong conceptions of what was due to the Lord; to perverted
ideas of the nature of true service, or of sacrifices that would be acceptable
to Him. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Noah
in common with his race, had been in the habit, probably, of killing certain
“clean” animals for food, and as this form of food seemed good in <i>his </i>sight, he considered it his duty to
make sacrificial offerings of it to the Lord. It does not, however, follow that
Noah was right in his logic! It was contrary to the Creator’s command to use
the flesh of animals for food, and it is presumed that Noah must have been
aware of this; yet, because it had been <i>his
</i>custom to do so, he saw no harm in offering it sacrificially to the very
Being who had expressly set apart the fruits of the earth for man’s meat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> To
satisfy the lusts of the flesh and pander to that sensual egoism which was as
common in Noah’s time as it is today, the express commands of God were set
aside and considered of no particular moment in the economy of life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> It
seems clear then that Noah sinned the sins of his forefathers, in this respect
at least. And it appears equally clear that subsequent generations right
through Biblical history simply followed Noah’s example.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Many
of the religious teachers mentioned in the Bible who “stood up for the Lord”
were essentially human, and endowed with human tastes and weaknesses. They
found the practice of eating animal flesh common among all peoples when they
were born into the world, and they simply accepted it just as it stood. They
were but <i>men</i>, and were liable to
finite man’s errors when he comes to interpret God’s laws and commands.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> They
had forgotten that God cannot cry, is not liable to mistakes; does not
constantly change His mind as man does!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> They
had forgotten that, when God created this world in which we live, He made no
mistakes and left nothing forgotten. And that among other things He made man
and appointed certain of His creations for man’s food.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> God
placed the entire vegetable kingdom at man’s disposal, so that he might eat and
be satisfied. But this did not satisfy him; he lusted after other meats, and in
obtaining them he disobeyed one of the Creator’s commands, and all the
sophistry that man can bring in support of other interpretations of this plain
command cannot alter the facts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> IT
would, however, certainly appear that in many of the books of the Bible there
are passages that might lead one to suppose God approved of the practice. But
if we continue to look into the Scriptures for further evidence on the subject,
we shall soon find references of a totally different character, and a little
study of the question will make it clearly manifest that there is a steady of
progressive development of thought in this respect running through the Old
Testament.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> In
endeavoring to arrive at the truth behind seeming inconsistency, we must
remember that the variableness lies not in the Will of God in the matter, but <i>in man’s interpretation of it</i>. It is
impossible that God’s law of right and wrong in this respect, as in any other,
could have ever changed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Believing
then as we do in the immutability of God’s word, is it not incredible to
suppose that this Omniscient Being, when planning out His marvelous scheme of
creation, should have created man a frugivorous creature and have commanded him
accordingly to eat of the fruits of the earth, and a few years later have
changed His mind?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Surely
this is not the plan upon which God works surely He knows what He is about; and
His word is more firmly established than the stars. To admit that the Supreme
Being changed His mind is to invest Him with the attributes of man; erring,
weak, changeable man; and as we naturally shrink from such a position we must
seek for another solution of the difficulty.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> It
seems that an explanation of the seeming inconsistency is offered in the fact
that Jewish historians have always regarded their Jehovah as a Personal God;
and once we clothe the Creator with personal attributes, we make Him subject to
human weaknesses. Such a conception of God may well lead the mind into all
sorts of errors, and it certainly appears that, as the whole of the old Jewish
writers regarded Jehovah as a Personal and attributes as man, they found it
easy enough to believe that, as He was given to anger, jealousy, repentance and
such like weaknesses, He might conceivably change His mind occasionally.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> In
other words, God was measured by human standards, and man utterly failed to
appreciate Him; failed to arrive at a just estimate of His immeasurable
greatness, of the awful magnitude of His might, majesty, and power; and of the
profundity of His unchangeableness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> At
the very earliest period of Israelites History we find the people following the
instincts of all semi-savage races by shedding the blood of animals and
offering their bodies as sacrifices to appease the Being they worshipped, and
it is conceivable that the rulers of Israel, in codifying the customs into some
intelligible shape to meet the requirements of the times, only followed these
instincts in giving to the people that wonderful code of laws which is to be
found in the books of Numbers and Leviticus; instincts, however, which
completely harmonized with their own tastes and inclinations in the matter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Further
on, as the people became more enlightened, we find less attention paid to the
rigid ordinances laid down by ancient law givers. In Psalm II, 17-19, written
by David about 1034 B. C., we find the following passage: -<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> “The
sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God,
Thou will not despise.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Still
later, about 760 B. C., we find the following reference to the subject in
Isaiah, I, 11-14: -<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> “To
what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto M? saith the Lord: I am
full of the burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight
not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he-goats.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> “When
ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Such
scriptures clearly show that, not only had the people no divine authority to
offer these burnt offerings and sacrifices, but they were actually an
abomination to the Lord. The Lord God of Israel is here asking by what
authority these abominations were offered to Him; and it is clear that this
must have had a potent effect on the Israelitish priesthood in checking these
bloody sacrifices, as it will be seen from this time onwards that the cruel
practice gradually recedes into the background, and finally disappears with the
advent of the Redeemer. So much at least, may be said as to the practice of
using animal flesh by way of sacrifice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> The
first chapter of Genesis perhaps stands alone among the many beautiful chapters
of the Bible. It is not a biography of man, as is practically the rest of the
Old Testament. It is an unknown record of God’s creation, accepted as true by
the Jewish peoples and by the Christian nations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> The remainder
of the Old Testaments stands out in sharp contrast to this. It is a strange
blending of God and man; on the one hand we have God as Personal Being
striving, struggling for the mastery of man a soul; pleading, beseeching man to
be true to Him and not to depart from one who had been so good and merciful to
him; and then threatening, cursing and punishing him; and on the other, a
record of man’s base ingratitude to his Creator, and of his vices, iniquities
and crimes, and, alas! There is but little said of hi virtues.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Bearing
in mind the character of the race depicted in the historical books of the Old
Testament, we may well be pardoned if we accept with many doubts the views held
in those times in regard to the killing of God’s creatures and using their
flesh as human food; and it is perfectly clear that no justification whatever
can be found in these books for the practice of meat-eating, but that the
evidence is rather the other way, tending to show, on the whole, divine
disapprobation of the habit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> But
in turning to the Gospels of the New Testament, we have a new set of conditions
to deal with, inasmuch as the interest at once centres round the acts and
teachings of the supremely inspired Son of God, and pretexts in favor of the
consumption of animal food are at once sought for and found in the examples
supposed to be set by Christ Himself. The marriage feast in Cana of Galilee;
feeding the multitude with leaves and fishes; and the partaking of the broiled fish
and the honeycomb after His Resurrection, are all quoted as divine examples in
favor of meat-eating; but let us examine the matter somewhat closely before we
make up our minds one way or the other.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> When
the Savior came among us, He came with no earthly pomp and circumstance. He took
upon Himself man’s estate, man’s methods, habits and customs, including his
ways of eating and drinking. It does not, however, follow that, because the
Lord became man for our sake, He necessarily <i>approved </i>of all man’s habits and modes of life. As a matter of
fact, in the four books of the New Testament that record the life and works of
the Savior, and lay bare to some extent the simplicity and frugality of His
domestic life, there is really no <i>direct </i>evidence
in proof of His ever having partaken of animal food; no evidence of a nature,
let us say, that would be accepted as conclusive in any human court of justice
of today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> The most
that can be required of us is to admit, for the sake of argument, that there is
evidence, by implication only, that Christ may possibly have sometimes partaken
of animal food. But as evidence of this nature is of a <i>negative</i> rather than a <i>positive</i>
character, nothing can be proved by it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> We
find in St. Matthew xi, 19, that His enemies accused Him of being “a man
gluttonous and a winebibber.” In St. Mark ii, 15, that He “sat at meat with
publicans and sinners” (the word here translated “meat” in the original refers
to <i>food</i>, not <i>flesh</i>; the ‘meat’ offering of the Hebrews was one of the corn and
oil); while all the books of the Gospel refer to His feeling the multitude with
leaves and fishes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> But
the most that this discloses is the fact that He, to whom all things were
possible, did not despise human habits, or human means of relieving hunger; nor
did He hold aloof from them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> We
must also remember that fish was probably an absolute necessity for the crowded
population of Palestine at that time. And the taking of net-caught fish does
not involve bloodshed and cruelty that is needless; therefore, the consumption
of this type of food is a very different act to the eating of the flesh of
warm-blooded animals, whether considered from the ethical or the hygienic standpoint.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> It is
indeed conceivable that, conscious as we know He was of His divine origin, He
must have experience many things in His brief human existence that were
repugnant to Him; suffered many a thing caused Him bitter pain and deep
humiliation, yet he gave no sign.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Not
the least among those afflictions were those which the God Man found in the
daily routine of human life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> It is
distinctly recorded by the early Fathers of the Church that several of the Apostles
were total abstainers from flesh food, and it is more than probable that they
were following the exalted example of their Master.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Looking
at the subject from this standpoint, it would seem that the argument in favor
of flesh eating has little to gain by any reference to the records of the life
of Christ, and His attitude in the matter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Two
of the commonest reasons given in favor of meat-eating are”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> 1. That if God did not intend man to eat
of the flesh of animals, He would not have given them to us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> 2. That man’s teeth are evidently intended
for the eating of animal food; and if they were not given to us for that
purpose, why are we provided with them?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> In
regard to the first point, there is, no doubt, widespread misconception on the
question. It is believed by most people, who will <i>not</i> think for themselves, that all animals whose flesh is
considered what is popularly termed “good to eat” were really <i>given</i> to us by God for food. If for
human considerations, it be suggested by someone that they should abstain from
the use of animal food, the answer comes promptly, “Why should I? It was given
to us for food, and why shouldn’t I eat beef or mutton, or anything else I like?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Then
we frequently hear it contended that what we call the domestic animals “belong
to man;” they are his property; he breeds, rears, feeds them; and if he kills
such of them as are “good for human food,” he has a perfect right to do so;
they belong to him as rightfully as do his lands and house, and other goods and
chattels, and he can therefore do what he likes with them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Let
us take the first of these reasons, viz., that certain animals were given to us
for food. Now if there is a gift there must be a giver. The gift is the effect,
the giver the cause. Who was the giver; and when, how and where, and upon whom
was the gift bestowed?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> We have
seen that there is nothing in the Old Testament to prove that the Almighty God
created any of the animals for man’s food, but that on the contrary he was
expressly enjoined to eat of the fruits of the earth; and to have, at the same
time, <i>dominion </i>over the rest of the
animal creation. Let us, however, pause a moment and consider what was meant by
<i>dominion</i>. Did the Creator mean that
dominion over “every living thing that moveth upon the earth” gave man the
right to slaughter His creatures for food? Hardly that, or reference would have
been made to it in the next verse: -<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> “<i>And God said, Behold, I have given you every
herb bearing seed which is upon the face of the earth, and every tree in the
which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat</i>.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> After
so plain a command, the only interpretation that dominion might bear is its
literal meaning – <i>lordship</i>, <i>power</i>!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> God created
other beings besides man, and as many of them were physically stronger than man
himself, it was necessary that he should be protected against them, and have dominion
over them; but it was evidently not the dominion of brute strength that was
planned by the Creator, but the superior power of moral and spiritual force.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> God
put into man’s hands no puny human weapons of offence and defence, but armed
him with that mighty controlling force which is not well-known among us today,
alas! We have lost the power, but in those far away days when “man walked with

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Perfect
man and perfect woman were God’s first human creations; living souls endowed
with perhaps divine attributes, and invested with such spiritual power as would
ensure to them complete dominion over “every living thing that moveth upon the
earth;” and it was in this sense that man was given dominion over God’s
creatures.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Briefly,
there is absolutely no evidence to show that the practice of killing certain
animals for food purposes is anything more than a man-made practice that was
born of human cravings and fed by man’s insatiable appetite.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> In
the old, old days, when the fathers of the human race, walked the earth as
primitive men, they found that the flesh of some of the animals was good, and they
slew them as we do today without let or hindrance. They were not troubled in
those days by such questions as “Meum and Tuum,” ethics and religion, right and
wrong; nor were they swayed by such sentimental reasons as humane
considerations, mercy, compassion, and the rest of it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> The nomadic
life of the Israelites under Moses rendered the cultivation of vegetables, as
we know it today, an impossibility. Sheep, goats, and oxen were plentiful; they
carried their flocks and herds with them; here was convenient form of food; and
as there was no other available, these animals necessarily formed the staple
food of the people. The only thing Moses and the rulers of Israel could do was
to curb, as far as it was wise and politic to do so, the lusts and appetites of
the people; and their efforts in this direction found expression in the
elaborate system of laws and regulations found in the Pentateuch.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> But
the domestic animals were no more <i>given</i>
to these ancient peoples in those far away times than they are given to us in
these days. The practice of eating animal food was initiated by man probably at
a time when the economic conditions under which he lived were excessively hard.
Food was scarce and the grossest ignorance prevailed as to the highly nutritive
value of many vegetable products which no doubt existed then as now. If man
under such conditions, therefore, took such means of subsistence as were ready
to hand, there are certainly many excuses for him; indeed, he had no choice in
the matter; it was animal food or starvation; and the common law of
self-preservation dictated which alternative to take.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> In considering
the contention that “domestic animals being the property of the owner’s man has
a perfect right to kill them and use their flesh as food, we should bear in
mind one or two points. When we speak of rights, we should not forget that there
are rights of many kinds. There are legal and moral rights, rights in equity
and in law, just rights and unjust rights, the right of might, right of
dominion and power, and so on <i>ad
infinitum</i>. By which of these rights is the question we are considering to
be decided.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> If we
attempt to settle it on the ground that these animals are ours by the legal
right of inheritance, the analytical mind of an able lawyer would at once look
into our title and trace it back and back till he came to those far-off days
when our ancestors took their animals by right of might, and although he would
admit that custom has established a right, he would at the same time tell us
that our title was faulty inasmuch as our ancestors obtained their possessions
by force.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Let
us draw a parallel between this case and that of many of the great families of
our own country, or, for that matter, of any country in Europe. The landed
possessions of many of the great ones of the earth are vast and yield great
revenues. They are firmly established in them, and the law of the country
recognizes their proprietorship. Nobody today brothers himself about the equity
of their titles; the land is theirs; it has descended for generations from heir
to heir, and that is enough.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> But trace
back the history of some of these lords of the earth; go back generation by
generation; back of those days when strife was rife, and breast plate and
morion, sword and spear, were important factors in the formation of family
estates and the up building of family names.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Go back
to those “good old days” when “barons held their sway” and serfdom was the
portion of the people; to those fine old times when the strong hand took what
it wanted and held what it took; when kings confiscated the estates to those
who opposed them, and distributed them with lavish hand among courtiers and
flatterers; gave any with unstinted generosity that which was not theirs to
give, and enriched those who had no right to receive, save the right which
might gives.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> You
shall find that had not time sanctioned the title it would have been found of
so faulty a nature that no court of justice of today would uphold it. And you
would realize in this case, as in the other, that many an owner of inherited
estates has no more equitable, just, moral right to his property than has the
man who claims the right of taking the lives of living creatures.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> The right
of <i>possession</i>, the right of <i>might </i>– both being legalized by man-made
laws and by custom – are his; but man’s laws are not God’s laws, and although
man finds it easy enough to justify himself before earthly judges, his
conscience must tell him that he cannot and will not be able to offer
justification before that High Tribunal which takes no cognizance of such human
laws as are not framed in justice and equity, and administered in mercy and compassion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> In
considering the second point, that “the human teeth are evidently intended for
flesh food,” we should not too readily accept all that people say in this
world. Many an apologist for meat-eating will be found to defend the practice
on the grounds of man’s teeth being those of the carnivore; whereas, as a
matter of fact they are nothing of the kind. One writer says: -<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> “The
physical structure of man is declared by our most eminent biologists to reveal
the indisputable fact that he is at the present day, as he was thousands of
years ago, naturally a frugivorous (fruit-eating) animal … The accepted
scientific classification places man with the anthropoid apes, at the head of
the highest order of mammals. These animals bear the closest resemblance to
human beings, their teeth and internal organs being practically identical with
those of man, and in a natural state they subsist almost entirely upon nuts,
seeds, and fruit.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> There
is, besides this testimony, overwhelming scientific evidence forthcoming of man
being of the frugivorous order of mammals (see “The Testimony of Science in
favor of Natural and Humane Diet, published by The Order of the Golden Age),
and if those who follow the practice of partaking of flesh food, because they
believe they belong to the carnivorous order, will not look into the question
for themselves, then they must bear the charge of deliberately shutting their
eyes to facts. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Man is <i>not </i>of
the order of carnivorous animals, and no amount of sophistical jugglery can
prove him to be so. He is declared by the most eminent authorities to be of the
frugivorous order, and if, after science has spoken, man persists in his
carnivorous practices, he will do so because he lusts after the flesh of God’s
inoffensive creatures, and not because he believes he was intended by his
Creator to be a meat-eater. - <i>The Herald
of the Golden Age</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 28.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">A Criticism on Dr. Hall’s Lecture.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">(<i>Delivered in Madras in December 1906</i>)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> In
endorsing the views of Professor Deussen in his 4<sup>th</sup> lecture Dr. Hall
seems to me to labor, along with the professor whom he quotes, under some
misconception of the terms sin, ignorance, will and understanding. Here are the
views expressed by the professor – “Why then do we need a release from this
existence? Because it is the realm of sin, is the reply of the Bible. The Veda
answers, because it is the realm of ignorance. The former sees depravity in the
volitional, the latter in the intellectual side of human nature. The Bible
demands a change of the will, the Veda a change of the understanding.” First
there is a mistake in the assumption that the Hindu considers this world as a
realm of darkness. Why if the world is a realm of ignorance and man needs a
release from it, a simple process will secure this. A sharp knife is enough.
But is that the eastern conception of ignorance and the world? Nor is the means
for the removal of this ignorance suggested by the professor anywhere to be
found in the Upanishads. Does the Hindu find depravity in the intellectual side
of his nature and does he think that a change in the understanding will produce
deliverance from the ignorant world? A more misunderstanding of the Upanishads,
there can never be. Regarding the world, the very 1<sup>st</sup> mantra of the
Isavasyopanishad is “Isavasyam idam Jagat.” This world is pervaded by the Lord.
“Maya thatham Idam Sarvam Jagat Avyaktha Moorthina.” “By the Lord this world is
filled.” “Padosya Visva Bhoothani. Tripadasya Amritam Divi.” This entire world is
His 4<sup>th</sup> part and the other portion is the region of immortality
“Vishtabyaham Idam Kritsnam Ekamsena Sthitho Jagat.” In one essence I fill this
entire world. – (</span><span style="font-family: "Latha",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">இந்த பூமி
சிவனுய்யக் கொள்கின்றவாறு என்று நோக்கி</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">)
“observe this world as the place where the Lord bestows blessings on all.” What
constitutes the world? Of course so far as we can understand, the mind, the
eye, the ear, the sun, the moon, the stars, the entire universe etc., these I
think constitute the world. These do not go to make up ignorance. All that the
upanishads say about the world is that it is the realm of Bhoga, a place where
the soul can gather experience, a region of probation, a scene of trial, an
instrument of God (the Preritha) for the helping of the souls (Bhoktha)
(Bhoktha Bhogyam Preritharamehamatva). Therefore, this world is not a realm of
ignorance. Can this ignorance be removed by a change in the intellectual side?
The Upanishads emphatically declare it may: - “Nayamatma Pravachanena Labhyo na
<i>Medhaya</i> Bahuna Sruthona” “Not by the
keen intellect can this Atma be attained.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> The
Hindu is said to find depravity in the intellectual side or the understanding;
while the Christian is said to see the same in the will or volition. If the
learned Christian doctor means by volition the “Icha” of the Hindu, then the
latter also <i>may </i>be said to find
depravity in it, and when he may find it in the “Icha” it needs no special
mentioning that he <i>may see</i> it also in
the “Gnana” (“intellect”) for gnana is but a concrete form of “Icha.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> And
what is sin? Sin, say the Christians, is the direct opposition to the Divine
will carrying with it punishment of an eternal nature, as righteousness carries
with it reward of an eternal joy, and his Gospel, a book of good news to
humanity, a book of God-inspired men, thus describes the penalty for sin. “The
Lord knoweth how to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be
punished.” “Shall cast them into a furnace of fire; there shall be wailing and
gnashing of teeth.” It shall not be forgotten him neither in this world nor in
the world to come.” “Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can you escape
the damnation of Hell? “But from him that hath not shall be taken away even
that which he hath.” “cast the unprofitable servant into utter darkness.” “Then
shall he say unto them on the left hand “Depart from me, ye cursed, into
everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his Angels.” “He that believeth not
is condemned.” “But the heavens and the earth which are now by the same word
kept in store, are reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition
of ungodly men.” “But they all might be damned.” “And he that doubteth is
damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith, for whatsoever is not of
faith is sin.” “Through their (jews) fall is come salvation unto the gentiles.”
“Who is he that condemneth. It is Christ.” “But that beareth thorns and briers
is rejected and is nigh unto cursing whose end is to be burned.” “Which drown
men in destruction and perdition.” “Whosoever was not found written in the book
of life was cast into the lake of fire.” “But the fearful and unbelieving and
the abominable and murderers and whore-mongers and sorcerers and idolaters and
all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and
brimstone.” The most virulent denunciations, it need not be said, came from the
mouth of Christ and is found in the gospel of the mystic John and in the book
of Revelation. Sin thus, according to the gospels, carries with it eternal
perdition. But not so the Hindu views it. To him sin means a blunder committed
on the spiritual plane, because of the inability of the man to see things a
right. Man, he says, commits mistakes often in the physical and intellectual
planes – planes where he can command some understanding. And is he not, asks
the Hindu, liable to commit similar blunders on the spiritual plane in an
unknown plane. “For if a man knoweth not how to rule his own house, shall he
take care of the church of God (I Timothy 5), for the kingdom of God is not
before his eyes as are other lesser things but is within. The Hindu thinks
consequently that these mistakes on the unknown spiritual plane are at least as
much liable to be corrected as are the errors in the other planes. He
cheerfully accepts chastisement if eventually it is directed with the idea of
correcting him. If not, he questions, to what end does punishment serve? Man,
he says, commits sin because he had not the full vision of what it would entail
on him. Man therefore is ignorant. He exclaims with Christ “Father – forgive
them for they know no what they do. Saul, who was to be one of the foremost
champions of the church, persecuted the Christians before he became a
Christian, i.e., before he was blessed with the vision of Christ. “At Damascus
he heard a voice saying unto him “Saul why persecutest thou me? And he said who
art thou Lord? And the Lord said “I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.” And he
received sight and was baptized.” Does not this story illustrate that he was in
darkness before he saw the light (Christ) and are not those in darkness liable
to do mistakes? “He that hateth his brother is in darkness and walketh in
darkness and knoweth not whither he goeth.” And when Jesus was about to be
stoned for his preaching, he is said to have used “When I was daily with you in
the temple ye stretched forth no hands against me but this is your hour and the
power of darkness” and even at the time of the crucifixion when one of the malefactors
taunted him, he said “Forgive, father, for they know not what they do.” “Are
there not,” said Jesus, “12 hours in the day? If any man walketh in the day, he
stumbleth not because he seeth the light of the world. But if a man walk in the
night he stumbleth because there is no light in him.” Therefore, when there is
no light in man, that is, when the soul is in darkness (ignorance) it stumbleth
(sinneth). “And walk while ye have the light lest darkness come upon you” are
the words written in the Bible. And the Hindu says that this want of light in
him is the cause of man’s committing sin. And it is darkness in him that
comprehendeth not the light. “God is a light and in Him there is no darkness.”
But this Light, as is put by St. John, shineth in darkness and the darkness
comprehendeth it not. God is light no doubt. “In him we live and move and have
our being.” But this light shining in darkness, the darkness comprehendeth it
not. Soul is in God, and being also in ignorance, the soul comprehendeth not God.
For both God and Ignorance soul is the place. “The kingdom of God is within
you” said Jesus and the same gospel says that when Jesus “a light of them which
are in darkness” walked on earth, men heeded him not, because that “light shone
in darkness and darkness comprehended it not” “Yo Vignane tishtan Vignana
dantharo yamvignanam na veda yasya Vignanagu sariram yo vignanam antharoo yamayathi
Esha tha Atma Antharyamya mruthaha” “Yasyatma sariram yam Atma na vedayam
Atnanam Antharo yamayathi Eshatha Atma Antharyami Amrthaha.” He who has the
soul as his body, Him whom the soul does not know. He who directs the soul
being immanent within it, is the Amrutha God. Soul, though it lives and moves
and has its being in God, is not cognizant of God because it is also in
“ignorance” and Sri Sankara instances the cases of certain animals whose eyes
are blind even in midday sun. Vide his commentary on the “ya nisa sarva
bhoothanam” sloka in the Bhagavad Gita. The eye is the place for both the Light
and darkness. Similarly, the soul is the place for both God and “ignorance.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Being
therefore in ignorance, the soul commits sin. Thus it is clear that sin is only
an effect of the cause “ignorance” and ignorance is the cause of the effect
“sin.” Therefore, if this “ignorance” is removed there will be an end of “sin.”
But if a sin is wiped of, still there will crop up other sins as the
“ignorance” still survives. What the Hindu aims is to eradicate while the
Christian wishes to chop off the branches. And what is Light and what is
darkness which both hold away over the soul?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> The
Light is God’s “Chaitanyam” and ignorance or darkness is Avidya or Agnana or
Mala. This Mala is in the soul even as is rust in copper. For the removal of
this rust in the copper, tamarind is required and for the removal of this mala
in the soul, he is equipped with the bodies, indriyas and karanas (organs).
Think of that state of man in which he is deprived of the body etc. Think of
the daily states of sushupthi, swapna and jagrat Avasthas. When the soul was
not united to body, indriyas and karanas, what was its state? It was sunk in
Avidya (Agnana) to its very core; it was not conscious of itself. Let mind be
united to it, then it sees, dreams and let this external organs be united to
it, then it sees, hears, speaks etc. What he was not once a wood-cutter or a
king or a man or a woman – he is now in the waking state. Thus the Deha,
Indriya, Karana etc., which constitute the world in the microcosm are the
equipments of the soul for the removal of its Agnana. Here now it is clear that
the world is not ignorance but rather an instrument with God for its removal.
Avidya then is in the soul. Says the Upanishad.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> “Avidyayam
Anthare Varthamanah Swayam Dheersha Panditham manya manah Jamgamyamanah
pariyanthi Moodhah Andheneiva Neeyamanah yathandhaha. The Upanishad likens the
state in Avidya to blindness in the eye. Some likens this to a cloud hiding the
sun. This is wrong. Says a great man “Drashta Varaka mala-mayakarma
Vyathirekena Drisya Varaka Kalpanayam Pramana abhavena” “There is no authority
to suppose that without the enshrouding by Mala, maya and karma of the soul
(seer) there is enshrouding of things cognized (seen).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> The
question why man commits sin was asked thousands of years ago by a worthy
disciple and the ever merciful Lord gives out that “desire to possess” or enjoy
influences the man to do the same and that too has a substratum in Agnana which
envelopes the soul even as the smoke envelops the fire, the dust envelopes the
mirror, the bag envelops the embryo.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> “Atha
kena prayukthoyam Papam charathi poorushaha. Anichan Api Varshneya baladiva
niyojishaha.” The disciple here questions his Master “Impelled by what, oh
descendant of Vrishni, does a man commit sin even if he does not like it, yet
directed by a powerful agent. The far seeing disciple here used the words “even
if he does not like” because no one in the world, no embodied creature on the
face of the earth courts voluntarily misery. The wine-bibber seeks pleasure in
the unintermittent swallowing of bottles. He thinks he can find pleasure in it.
Thus from the vilest sinner to the highest saint, all seek pleasure. Some seek
carnal pleasure, some pleasures of the senses, some of the intellect, others of
imagination and some spiritual. The martyr seeks death for the pleasure of the
soul. It is on account of this fact of the soul seeking pleasure in every
sphere of life, that the Highest Brahmananda is vouchsafed for the soul and it
is owing to this and this alone, that man is enjoined to seek Brahm (God) for
in every other pleasure there is pain, but in Brahmananda there is no pain and
no fear at any place or time. This is a test to show that the soul is heir to
Brahmananda. Hence the far seeing disciple says “though not wishing it.” The
Lord says “Kama Esha krodha Eshaha Rajoguna Samuthbahva – Mahasano Mahapapana
Viddhi Enam iha Vyrinam Dhoomena Avriyathe Vannilu, yatha Darso Malenacha
yatholbhena Avruthe garbhaha thatha thena idam Avrutham.” The desire to possess
then is the cause of sin. The mother of nations, according to the Bible,
committed sin out of this desire to possess. “And when the woman “saw that the
tree was good for food and that it was pleasant to the eyes and a tree to be
desired to make one wise, she took of the fruits thereof and did eat and gave
also unto her husband and with her he did eat.” Where did this arise? “It arose
out of man’s Agnana “Thasmat Agnana Sambhootham Hridstham gnanasina Atmanaha”
Elsewhere the Lord clearly point out “Agnanena a Vritham Gnanam Thena Muhyanthi
Janthavaha Gnanenathu thad Agnanam Esham Nasitham Atmanaha Thesham Adithyavath
Gnanam Prakasayathi Nanyatha” “The soul’s Chaitanyam is enveloped in Agnana. Therefore,
the souls are agitated. When by Gnana they destroy this Agnana, then the same
chaitanya shines with the lustre of the sun.” When Agnana is removed, God, the
glorious Light, who is ever present in the soul covers it with His light and
the soul melts in that light and being immersed in that light shines there.
(Niranjanaha Paramam Samyam upaithi) and here the soul more than realises the
Mahavakya “That Twam Asi.” The consciousness or chaitanyam of the soul is the
Dharma and the soul is Dharmi. This consciousness is bound by Agnana. This
consciousness underline the souls will, thought and action. When the conscious
soul is united with Prakrithi, then arises will (Icha) and this will acting on
the mind becomes gnana and this gnana action on the senses (eye, ear, hand,
feet etc.) becomes Kriya. As the underlying consciousness itself is bound by
Agnana, man may will sin, think sin and act sin. But the fact is that these
organs etc., are united to this soul not for plunging man into sin but to raise
him up from that torpor, to lessen the power of darkness and thereby to enable
him to work out salvation. Hence Kalidasa sings “Sariram Adyam Khala Dharma
Sadanam.” This body is of a primary help for practicing virtue. When with the
bodies he has gained experience and has grown wise, the bodies then become a
burden to him then useless. Of what use is medicine (body, eyes etc.) when the
disease (Mala or ignorance) is cured. (But certainly medicine is not disease
and body is not ignorance.) Then he requires to leave it, not because it is
darkness but because this body cannot contain that food of light, which seeks
to burst forth from from the body, this ever increasing flood of light
springing from God within him (Bhagne ghate yatha Deepo Sarvathra
Samprakasathe).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> The
eyes of all are not opened alike to this Light. Some have not seen this. Some
have had glimpses. A few have seen. To that Blessed Few belongs Krishna. This
seer of all nations, of all aspirations and of all mental attitudes has a word
of comfort for all. He condemns none. He gives hope to all. “Partha Naiveha
namutra Vimasaha thasya Vidyathe. Nahi Kalyanakrith Kaschit Durgathim thatha
gachathi.” His is a ministry of Love and Hope to all. This is not a mere
sentiment as in the case of some other religions. It is an actual fact. To
realise this Light may be a difficult thing. Indeed, as the Lord himself says,
one in thousand tries to seek the Light; one of thousand such knows him really,
and this man too reaches Him after many incarnations. The truth of this is also
explicitly stated in the story of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Except
Lot, one individual, none in that accursed city was found fit to be saved. If
He had known 100, at least10 in that city He would have saved the same. (But
whether the same requires destruction is another question.) God is said to have
grieved at his heart for the creation of the world, when in the imagination of
their hearts he found only evil. The quest after wealth is too well plain in
the west. Christ has already fled from the west. But no one deserves eternal
damnation on that account. For in the heart of man is darkness. This darkness
(Mala) can be removed by methods described in the Agamas, books of Revelation,
by a recourse to suitable Acharyas, the chosen vassals of God. Few have reached
the God but all may strive towards it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Modern criticism has laid rude hands upon that ancient
and venerable institution, the Indian Calendar. If hoary antiquity, intrinsic
worth and practical utility could have saved any institution from such
violence, then the Indian Calendar might well have claimed the privilege. Form
has it not presided over the destinies of the children of India for more than
2,000 years, recording with jealous minuteness the hour and the day, nay the
very minute and second of their births, marriages and deaths? Was any event of
importance, public or private, ever done in this country without the fiat of
the Indian Calendar? And was not its veto sufficient to arrest the mightiest
conquerors proceeding to battle or to stay their hands in the hour of victory?
Yet, this venerable witness of Indian history is called upon to take its trial
before a judge born yesterday, the Nautical Almanac. In vain does the venerable
prisoner appear to the public of India whose destinies it has controlled for a
hundred generations. In vain does it appeal to the expert skill of its
custodians, the Jyotishis, the Panchangis and the Astronomical Computers of
India. The public looks wit pity on so old an institution reduced to such sad
plight, but says the public: “Are not these custodians the men into whose
keeping the calendar, when a child, was entrusted by its parents, the great
Siddhantis of India? Let these custodians come to the rescue of their ward and
prove their fitness for their charge.” Alas, the custodians are at a loss what
to urge on behalf of their ward! They never dreamt that such evil times should
ever come upon it or upon themselves, or that they should be called to render
an account to a scrutinizing public of a craft whose origin and methods are to
this day wrapped in mystery. They know only the traditions which enable them to
keep up the ancient forms of the calendar. In the years that have rolled by,
these traditions have very often deviated, whether on purpose or unawares, from
the path originally appointed by the Siddhantis; but of such deviations, any
more than of the original principles of the calendar, its so called custodians
know very little at the present day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> The
above is perhaps a sentimental version of recent events which have taken place
at Kaladi in the State of Travancore, where Astronomical Conferences were held
in February and March 1910, for the purpose of unifying the Indian Calendar.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> What
practical results have been achieved as the result of such Conferences, the
public has not yet been informed; but it will be no surprise to the public to
learn in course of time that the proceedings have been barren of result.
Whether such proceedings yield a definite result or not, the suspicion once
cast upon the Indian Calendar continues unabated, and it will he hard for the Almanac
makers of India to rehabilitate their position unless they can produce very
good and very palpable evidence in their favor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> One
thing is remarkable about these Conferences, namely, that considering the hoary
antiquity and the hitherto unquestioned authority of the Indian Calendar, one
might reasonably expect to see a well-formulated charge or series of charges
against its accuracy, drawn up by expert critics, as the basis of any
proceedings reviewing its past history or assailing its present position. No
such charges have been published, however, it being apparently assumed that the
charges are well-known. It is difficult for any one who has bestowed serious
attention upon a study of the Indian Calendar to conceive what possible ground
of dislike the public could suddenly have found to justify such proceedings. In
the absence of definite charges one is driven to conclude that the causes of dissatisfaction
are of a general nature. But even so, it may be of profit to reduce them to
definite shape and to investigate each of them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> The
most important causes of public dissatisfaction with the Indian Calendar appear
to be the following: -<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">(1) The multiplicity of calendars and the too patent fact that
among them there are palpable divergences. Before calendars began to be printed
in India, it was seldom possible for more than one calendar to obtain currency
or general recognition over a local area and the inhabitants of a tract, where
a particular calendar was current, had no reason to suspect that their
neighbors in other tracts followed a different kind of reckoning; at any rate,
it did not disturb them in their usages of daily life which were guided by a
single calendar of more or less local origin. At present, however, there is no
limit to the circulation of a printed Almanac, and when several Almanacs giving
different reckonings are current in the same local area, confusion is the
natural result.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">(2) Obvious discrepancies between the purely Indian Almanacs and
such European publications of undisputed accuracy as the Nautical Almanac. It
is found that between the ordinary Almanacs in use in India and the Nautical
Almanac there is a divergence of an hour or so in the moment of occurrence of
New and Full-Moons and a divergence of several hours in the ending moments of
stages intermediate between two New Moons. Suspicion naturally falls upon a
method which yields results so apparently erroneous, and attempts have in
consequence been made and with no small measure of success to reconstruct the
Indian Almanac upon the basis of the Nautical Almanac.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">(3) The difficulty and tediousness, amounting almost to
unintelligibility, of the processes prescribed for the construction of an Indian
Almanac. It is no doubt the case that the best and the most learned exponents
of the system of the Indian Calendar have not succeeded in opening up the
thorny hedge which has been growing for centuries, as in the fairy tale, around
the residence of this Sleeping Beauty. The earlier exponents of the system such

and divisions prescribed by traditional methods for arriving at the ending
moment of a single tithi. About 20 years ago, Professor </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">J</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">ACOBI of Bonn
University introduced to Indian readers, through the pages of the “Indian
Antiquary” (1888) a method of calculation of Indian dates based upon the
well-known method of M. Largeteau in France. This method is more or less the
basis of the subsequent exposition of the Indian Calendar by Messers. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">S</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">EWELL and </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">D</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">IKSHIT

Meanwhile, in the year 1892, Professor </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">J</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">ACOBI had republished his tables in the <i>Epigraphica
Indica</i>, Vol. I, and subjoined to them certain special tables, for the
purpose of completing M. Largeteau’s approximation. The same German authority,
who is at this date the greatest and most reliable living exponent of the
Indian Calendar, published in the second volume of the <i>Epigraphica Indica</i>
a method of computing the moment of sunrise or true local time for any latitude
or longitude in India. Valuable as these modern expositions are to the
enthusiast, they fail to comply with the standard of convenience which ordinary
lay readers usually fix for themselves. Apart from the difficulty of understanding
the technical language of astronomy, used by these writers, there is the
difficulty and inconvenience of having to expend an inordinate length of time
on each calculation, the constant risk of perpetrating Arithmetical errors in
such calculation and the uncertainty of the ordinary methods of approximation.
To meet these difficulties certain rough and ready methods, intended mainly for
the use of epigraphists and archaeologists, have been devised by Dr. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">S</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">CHRAM of
Vienna and the late Professor </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">K</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">IELHORN. These methods are, however, not suited to the
purpose of the ordinary modern lay Hindu enquirer, who wishes to get to the
bottom of the particular. Almanac he is using and to verify the results there
stated. Compared with such processes, that of the Nautical Almanac for arriving
at any of the data of the Indian Calendar is simple, easily intelligible and
accurate. You take the longitude of the sun and the moon for a particular noon
then you take the same quantities for the previous noon and you ascertain by an
easy sum in ration the time when the difference between the two longitudes
amounted to an exact multiple of 12 degrees; and you have without any further
trouble the absolute ending moment of the tithi, to which of course you have to
apply, as a correction, (1) a quantity representing the difference of the
terrestrial longitude between Greenwich and your own place and (2) another
quantity giving the moment of local sunrise. Several Indian Almanacs based upon
this method called <i>Drigganita</i> or “Computation checked by Observation”
are at present in use in many parts of India.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The above is a summary of the
main charges against the purely Indian system of calculating astronomical data;
and we are now in a position to enter upon a discussion as to whether each of
these charges is sufficiently grave to be pressed home, and if pressed, whether
it can be held to be proved. One important point seems to be lost sight of by
the generality of the critics of the Indian Calendar, namely, that there is an
essential difference between a calendar instituted for the ordinary purposes of
social or religious life and a Nautical Almanac intended to assist the
navigator in combating and overcoming the dangers and risks of a sea-voyage. A
civil calendar, as we might call the former, may or may not lay claim to a
certain degree of accuracy; but its objects above all, are, or ought to be,
case of calculation and practical utility as distinguished from theoretical
accuracy. Each nation has its own standard of practical accuracy to be
maintained by its civil calendar. Most nations that we are acquainted with in
history, including the nations of modern Europe, are satisfied with dividing
the courses of the sun and the moon into integral days, excluding fractions of
a day, and with subdividing the day from midnight to midnight or from noon to
noon into equal divisions called hours, minutes and seconds. The Indian
Calendar, on the other hand, divides the courses of the sun and the moon into
integral <i>spaces</i> or arcs of a circle and not into integral days. It takes
account, for example, of the <i>moment</i> when the sun completes any thirty
degrees of its course, of the <i>moment</i> when the moon gains 12 degrees or
an integral number of 12 degrees over the sun in her orbit, and of the <i>moment</i>
when the moon, irrespective of the sun, completes 13° 20´ of her sidereal
course or an integral number of such spaces. The first of these is called a
solar <i>sankranti</i> or the commencement of a month the second is called the
ending moment of a lunar tithi; and the third the ending moment of a lunar <i>nakshatra</i>.
It will be noticed that in these three reckonings the <i>spaces</i> are whole numbers, and therefore the corresponding <i>times</i> must include fractions of days,
hours, minutes and seconds. Every year the Almanac maker has to compute 12 such
moments for monthly Sankrantis, 360 moments for as many lunar tithis occurring
in the course of a lunar year, and about the same number of lunar <i>nakshatras</i>. Where the follower of the
European Calendar is satisfied with reckoning the day that he is passing
through as the 1<sup>st</sup> of January, the 1<sup>st</sup> of February and so
forth, the Indian does not begin his month till a particular moment of a day is
reached: he cannot know what tithi he is passing through unless he knows the <i>ending moment</i> of the tithi for the
particular day, and he is in a similar difficulty as regards the <i>nakshatra</i>. No doubt the calendar or <i>panchang</i> for the year, of which he
invariably has a copy, gives these details in all the desired minuteness; but it
is not necessary for the purpose of civil or religious life that each Indian
householder should know the <i>absolute </i>ending
moment of a <i>sankranti tithi</i>, or <i>nakshatra</i>. All these occurrences are,
however, calculated in Indian almanacs as taking place so many hours and
minutes or so many <i>ghatikas</i> and <i>palas</i> after local sunrise and just as it
is necessary to know the moment of a mean <i>sankaranti</i>,
<i>tithi </i>or <i>nakshatra</i>, it is necessary to know the moment when the sun rises at
a given place in order to be able to reckon the portion of a <i>tithi </i>or <i>nakshatra </i>that has expired since, or which remained unexpired at
the moment of sunrise. Here again absolute accuracy is <i>claimed</i> by the Almanacs, but such accuracy is probably not desired
by, or necessary for the householder in the performances of his duties.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> The
divergence between theoretical accuracy and practical convenience in Almanacs
is, as we have seen, not peculiar to the Indian system, but of course it will
be readily seen that the frequency of error and of divergence is more probably
under the Indian than under other systems. Under all systems however such
divergence is, by the common consent of mankind, got over in certain well-understood
ways. One of these is to allow an error to accumulate until it becomes
inconveniently large and then to remove it by means of a correction. Such a
correction may be applied <i>deliberately</i>
as in the adoption or omission of leap years under the combined Julian and
Gregorian systems; or it may be rendered necessary owing to previous <i>unperceived </i>errors of astronomical
computation, as in the well-known case of the dropping of 11 days by Act of
Parliament in the year 1752. The principle applied in such cases is that the
mere existence of an error or divergence between theory and practice does not
matter, so long as we <i>know</i> its
magnitude and are in a position to correct it from time to time. According to
this principle, not only the Indian Calendar, but calendars pretending to very
much less accuracy might, in all reason and conscience, be regarded and used as
instruments of <i>civil </i>time reckoning,
and no fault whatever need be found with them during the course of ages. It is
not improbable that the existence of some at least of the errors and divergence
pointed out above in the Indian Calendar were foreseen by the original authors
of the various <i>siddhantas</i>, and they
seem purposely to have inserted in their systems certain automatic corrections
whereby the errors could never exceed a certain limit, or whereby, if they did
exceed such a limit, they would be removed on the completion of a cycle of
years. Practically, the error in the ending moment of what we may call
intermediate tithis, that is, the <i>tithis </i>between
New Moon and New Moon, is a <i>recurring</i>
and not an <i>accumulating</i> error. It is
caused by the phenomena known as <i>evection</i>
and <i>annual equation</i> and its operation
is confined to the quarters and the eighth parts of the lunar orbit. No
inconvenience can be caused by the occurrence of such errors so long as their
existence is known and their rectification can, when necessary, be easily
effected.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> There
is one divergence of considerable importance between the European and the
Indian Calendar which perhaps deserves more than a passing remark. It is the
divergence between what is called the <i>tropical
</i>longitude and the <i>sidereal</i>
longitude of the sun. As the sun measures his annual course round the earth
(which by the way is a familiar example of a practical divergence between
theory and practice, for everybody knows theoretically, that the earth moves
round the sun and yet everybody talks in practice of the sun going round the
earth) his longitude or distance from the starting point of his journey
increases. That starting point in European Astronomy is the first point of <i>Aries</i>, that is the point where the
ecliptic or the path of the sun crosses the celestial equator. Properly
speaking, when the sun has completed 360° of his course, he ought to return to
this point; but as a matter of fact, owing to the precession of equinoxes, the
point itself meets him instead of his coming to meet it and it has been
computed that the first point of Aries will travel along the whole course of
the ecliptic in a series of 25, 868* years. [* </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">It is a remarkable coincidence, for which however no
mathematical reason can be assigned, that the length of the Solar year,
according to the <i>Arya Siddhanta</i>,
contains in the decimal places absolutely the same figures as are contained in
the cycle of revolution of the vernal equinox, the length of the year according
to the Arya Siddhanta being 365.25868055 days, and the modern cycle of
revolution of the vernal equinox, 25,868 years</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">.] In Hindu Astronomy, on the other hand, the longitude of the sun is
measured not from the first point of <i>Aries</i>
as it changes from year to year, but from the first point of <i>Aries</i> as it stood about the year 3600
Kali Yuga (about 500 A.D.) Consequently, the Hindu Solar year commences every
year later than the European mean solar year which is a strictly tropical year.
In the year 3102 B. C., (the first year or year 0 of Kali Yuga), the Hindu Solar
year commenced at midnight between the 17<sup>th</sup> and 18<sup>th</sup>
February. In the current year, 1910, A. D., the Hindu Solar year commenced on
the 13<sup>th</sup> April and it will go on advancing by a day or two every
century until it has passed through every day of the European Calendar and
returns again after about 30,000 years to the 17<sup>th</sup> February. This is
an example of an error adjusting itself through a cycle of years. The Hindu
Astronomy provides an easy rule of calculation for ascertaining the sun’s
tropical longitude when it is really necessary to ascertain it, e.g., for the
purpose of determining the actual moment of sunrise. The rule is merely to add
three degrees to the sidereal longitude of the sun for every 200 years elapsed
since 3600 Kali Yuga; or if the longitude is reckoned in days, to add one day
for every 64 years elapsed since 3600 Kali Yuga.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> It
may be asked why the Hindu system tolerates such a divergence from the tropical
year when it could easily adopt the European system. The reason is that the
Hindu Solar year is a <i>Sidereal</i>
(practically an <i>anomalistic</i>) year,
and it coincides almost exactly with the period of revolution of the sun’s mean
anomaly or his <i>rate</i> of motion round
the earth. By reckoning the Solar year according to the sun’s anomaly, we are enabled
to obtain without further calculation, certain very important elements in
determining the two most useful data of the Indian Calendar, namely, the
absolute <i>ending moment</i> of a tithi and
the actual <i>moment of sunrise</i>. The
writer of the present article hopes to publish shortly a method* of calculating
Indian dates which will demonstrate the very great simplification of method
that results from the adoption of the anomalistic, instead of the tropical
year. [* </span><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Tithis, Nakshatras and other Indian Dates B.C. 1 to

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> In
conclusion, it is not pretended that the Indian method of astronomical
computation is without flaw or error of any kind; all that is claimed for it is
that in the long course of years through which it has been in use, it has
served its purpose with remarkable fidelity. It has needed no correction on the
scale on which, for example, Julius Caesar or Pope Gregory or the British
Parliament found it necessary to correct the European civil calendar and its
results, deduced uniformly from principles and constants settled more than
thousand years ago, compare very favorably with the results of modern
observation and research. As regards the discrepancy between the moment of New
Moon as deduced from the <i>Siddhantas </i>and
as given in the <i>Nautical Almanac</i>, it
is important to observe that the reason is not at all any inaccuracy in the
Indian method, but a reason inherent in the nature of the lunar orbit. It has
been ascertained by enquirers from the time of Laplace onwards that the moon
actually moves faster in her orbit in the present day than she did two thousand
years ago. To make this intelligible to ordinary readers, we will take the
actual orbit of the moon as determined now and that laid down several thousand
years ago. The orbit of the synodical month, laid down by modern Astronomers,
is 29.530887 days. According to Ptolemy, the period was longer than this by
half a second. It is probably the case that Ptolemy’s period was correct in his
day and the present period is certainly correct in our day. From the difference,
however, there results this practical inconvenience that if we apply Ptolemy’s
period to the modern moon for determining her longitude, that is, her exact
position in her monthly course, she will be found to have advanced less than
she has really done; and if we apply the modern period to ancient new moons we
shall imagine the ancient eclipses and new moon to have occurred an hour or so
before they actually occurred. In no system of European Astronomy has there
been a continuous application of the same synodical lunar period for 2,000
years; whereas in India we have had to apply such a constant for at least 1,500
years. The ancient Indian Astronomers seem to have purposely adopted a shorter
synodical month than was correct in their day in order to provide against
future divergences, with the result that the synodical month according to the <i>Surya Siddhanta</i> (29.530587946 days) is
shorter than the modern period, and consequently New Moon according to the <i>Surya Siddhanta</i> occur a little before
the time of their occurrence as predicted in the Nautical Almanac. On the other
hand, it is possible to adopt a synodical period which is midway between the
ancient and modern periods.

period of 3,500 years beginning from 1655 B. C. that a synodical month
consisting of 29.5305916 days produces on the whole the least divergence
between actual and calculated New Moon at the present day, while it also gives
with sufficient accuracy for practical purposes the moment of occurrence of
ancient New Moons. Now, the synodical month adopted by the <i>Arya Siddhanta</i>, which <i>Siddhanta</i>
is or to be followed by the Almanac – makers of Southern India, is almost
exactly the same as that of D</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">R</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">G</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">RATTAN</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">G</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">UINNESS; </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">for, it is 29.5305925 days, and may therefore be
inferred that New Moons, deduced according to the Arya Siddhanta, must <i>coeteris paribus</i> agree very closely with
the New Moons predicted in the Nautical Almanac. We may remark in conclusion
that the error due to lunar acceleration will as time advances become sensibly
less even according to the <i>Surya
Siddhanta</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

jivatmas or souls in this school. But the saint beautifully uses the term to
devote the Paramatma (Supreme Siva) also. A jivatma is from the stand point of
its anubhava called ‘satasat’ (satasat); for, in the course of sadana or
evolution it is one with ‘asat’ (maya world) and in the <i>Sadin</i> or <i>Advaita
Sivasayujya Mukti</i> it becomes one with sat (God). Likewise the Supreme
Paramatma may, from the stand point of drdupava, be called ‘Satasat’ too; for,
He is one with atma in its bhanda state <i>i.e</i>., one with ‘asat’ or

134 & 137. “<i>The dvaitic love doth weave the Advaitic Union, the Supreme
Divine Reward</i>.” All Schools of religion, as already observed, divide
themselves into <i>dvaita</i> or <i>advaita</i> <i>i.e</i>., either (1) those
in which the soul (worshipper or devotee) feels God different and in the second
person or (2) those in which the soul loses itself in God by abstract
meditation (yoga) some declaring the nonentity of soul-devotee and the
existence of God alone, and the <i>other</i> declaring the soul’s existence
throughout from devotee process to <i>advaita Union</i>. The last mentioned
which predicated the advaitic end and at the same time is not antagonistic to
the dvaitic course or <i>means</i> can be the mother-school of all and the
world-school of all. Such a School declares rightly “Path or Ladder to Moksha
is duality (dvaita) and the end or destination (Moksha) is non-duality
(advaita) and as such can be addressed as “<i>the only Tolerant school</i>”
i.e., THE SAIVA SIDDHANTA SCHOOL. What is the meaning of ‘Toleration’ in the
Vedic sense of the term? Not, that which makes all souls equal, all castes
equal and creates a confusion worse confounded, defeating the Providential
design. The Sacred Teaching should be adapted to the souls in the order they
deserve; but not that all souls, ripe and unripe, rude and unrude, civilized
and barbarous, Saiva or non-Saiva, or vegetarians or non-vegetarians, should be
adapted at once to the Sacred Teaching. The right meaning of ‘toleration’ is
non-conversion’ or allowing each soul to stand in its own rung as it stands and
bidding it see below and see above and understand that it has got over so many
rungs and that there are so many rungs to be got over still – the ladder is
tremendously high. But if you should ill-advise that soul that its rung is
false and that your rung, say several steps above the former, is true, and that
that soul should get at once to your rung, is it possible or conceivable for
that soul to do it i.e., to jump over at once to your rung across several
intermediate rungs? The philosophers can well see the absurdity if they open
their inner eyes and see the truth evidenced by the Dravida Sruti as contained

Therefore in whatever
stage or rung you see a soul or man, tolerate him and allow him to stop there,
calling his rung good and bidding him see above and look for the next rung, and
the next rung alone, not more. The Saiva Religion which predicates in this way
is the Universal Religion. It is this Saiva Religion that has prescribed four
margas or ways of exercising love to God (Dvaita practices), which four ways
befit the several existing classes of mankind. <i>Viz</i>. (1) The first class
for whom the religion of love and obedience (Dasa Marga) is fixed. (2) A second
class most dutiful and full of filial love towards God for whom the Satputra
marga is prescribed (3) A highly advanced class with their instincts of love
and knowledge fully evolved for whom the Saha Marga is prescribed, and (4) a
fourth class in whom the Sivagnana is best ripe for whom the Sanmarga is
prescribed. Not a religion we see on this earth which does not come under one
or other of the said four margas. If there is any difference felt or preached,
the difference is only in words or technicalities. In these circumstances the
Saiva Religion further described in the next connected verses 141 and the rest
may, with sound reasons, be called and known as a TOLERANT WHOLE of which all
other religions are but parts. C. F. “According to Vedanta we do not come from
error to truth, but from truth to truth, from lower truth to higher truth, by
the process of evolution. Each of the innumerable stages of evolution cannot be
called either good or bad. When we do not compare one stage with another it
appears to be neither good nor bad. We cannot find fault with any one of them.
The individual soul gradually gains experience by passing through these stages
and marches onward towards perfection which is the end and aim of evolution.” –

Bliss; While Thou art the Pure Intelligence and the Supreme Cause of the

art, as a fact, the animating Life-Principles of all souls in the Universe, How
was it that the souls became enshrouded with <i>mala </i>ignorance), <i>Maya</i>,
and <i>Karma</i>? How was it that the egotism of ‘Iness’ came to be possessed
by the souls? And how was it O Lord, that, by means of soul’s acts and thoughts
of devotion due to Thy Beneficent Kiriya Sakti, Thy Gnana Sakti, caused itself
to be <i>felt</i> by souls matured?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

inconsistency the souls (themselves Chits or intelligences) can remain
enshrouded with Anava (ignorance) though they co-exist with and are dependent
on the Supreme Chit (Intelligence) for their life. Existence or evolutionary
stage or condition. A consonant has a sound of its own, as it is. Yet it cannot
sound distinctly except when in co-existence with vowel A or its modifications.
In fact it must sound ever along with the vowel. It cannot get on otherwise.]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Parabrahman! I have not yet contracted the austere habit of firmness of mind as
good as a monkey’s grasp to rest myself in the forest or by the sides of the
mountains and suffer the hardship of living on dry leaves &c. and undergoing
severe heat and cold; and so to put down the sullen obstinacy of my five senses
and elude their fierce pursuit. Nor have I impressed myself with the absolute
necessity of the gradational steps of <i>Siva</i>-Sariya, <i>Siva</i>-Kiriya
and <i>Siva</i>-Yoga.* I find in me a bewildered intellect to think that the
right understanding and moral reasoning, the surest guide in the right conduct
of this life, as well as the blind silence† are meant to be administered in
furtherance of dishonest purposes. O The All gracious, do Thou grant me the
favor that I might seek the company of Thy beloved devotees. ‡<o:p></o:p></span></div>

intent and purpose of <i>this</i> life. That I might, without simply imitating

waves of the sea; that I might command respect and regard in this world by
never denying alms to the poor and by going in the true path of virtue. That I
might keep up bodily health, mental vigor and moral purity and by the abstract
devotion in yoga of niyama &c, and pass myself through Thy Gnana marga and

Verses 95, 97 & 101 with
notes. The holy saint impresses upon the mind of his reader impliedly the
Providential scheme of the Supreme Will of God, which scheme was adopted to
spiritually refine the souls; viz., first, this sadhana world for them to live
in; next, this embodiment suitable to such worldly life; and thirdly the gift
such as wealth, fortune &c., to keep up this life and the sound state of
this embodiment (body). It is an undisputed fact that the said world, life and
embodiment necessary for soul’s refinement are in their character productive of
evils also which the souls can guard themselves against by Siva Gnana and that
but for their embodied existence the souls cannot have got knowledge of God
(Siva-Gnana). Now it may be asked why should the Perfect God devise such a bad
scheme with illusory materials (maya or matter)? This question vanishes itself if it should be
thought over and seen that the all-gracious God pitying the abject state of the
souls as a <i>fact</i> wanted out of pure and simple. Benevolence to make the
best of the available materials (co-existent maya) and did effect there out the
said scheme solely for the benefit of the co-existent dependent souls laboring
(in a Kevala state) under bonds of ignorance (coexistent with them). So to
question the God’s benevolence is to do greatest injustice and wish for
complete ruin to ourselves. And such a question can never suggest itself to an
unprejudiced from mind of a divine nature. This verse (128) further shows that
Siva-Raja-Yoga is merely a next step to Siva-Gnana</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: TA;">.]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

To a Jivan Mukta, when truly
sunk in Sivohambhavana practice of <i>Sivagnana-Sariya</i>, <i>Sivagnana-kiriya</i>,
<i>Sivagnana-yoga</i>, and <i>Sivagnana-Gnana</i>, every thing will appear as <b>Siva-Para-Brahm</b>
i.e., Supreme Love itself. Then he begins to worship anything and everything he
sees, feels, steps on, lives on, sits on and thinks on, as <b>Siva-Para-Brahm</b>.
It is at this state when attained that the devotee becomes transported with
Divine Love and dances, sings, utters the Glory of the Supreme and raves and
shrinks sometimes like a madman or children or demonizes. These emotional
expressions of true devotional love to God are sometimes mistaken and trifled
away by those who are ignorant of the characteristic marks of a true
bhakti-gnani, Saint Tayumanavar announces the Glory of bhakti-gnanis in these

present life, when Thou wouldst make me be absorbed in the Peaceful Beatitude
of Samarasa* Advaita Gnana, <i>neither one nor two</i>; <i>which</i> I can
experience indeed, if I be granted the opportunity of serving under the <i>munis</i>†
in the cool mountain of best shaded groves of fragrant flower-growths, and of
practicing the Siva Raja Yoga‡ of <i>Yama</i>, <i>Niyama</i> &c., given in
the Yoga sastra called <i>mantramalika</i> <i>i.e</i>. of purifying the body by
taking the prescribed seat such as kamalasana and by pressing with the folded
legs and arousing the lunar orb in the body domain of <i>kundalini</i>§ and
with the steadfast eyes, enjoying with great pleasure the delicious nectar
produced thereby and the consequent bliss of sleepless eternity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

this life</i>. It is the crowning excellence of this Saiva Siddhanta school
that it is the Religion of Love or <i>bhakti</i>. Love is the animating fire of
the sadhana <i>Sariya</i>, <i>Kiriya</i>, <i>Yoga</i> and <i>Gnana</i>. Some
erroneously hold that this sadhana and love can benefit the aspirer of Moksha
severally i.e. either sadhana or love benefit him independently. Not at all.
Sariya, Kiriya, Yoga and Gnana are indispensable and inseparable with love
(bhakti). Hence it was the <i>successful</i> saints like our Thayumanavar
though accomplished in <i>Yoga</i> or <i>Gnana</i> (knowledge), yet, were not,
for a moment, wanting in true bhakti or <i>love of devotion</i> to the <i>Supreme
Siva </i>and that even the Holiest Four <i>Gnanasambanthar</i>, <i>Appar</i>, <i>Sundarar</i>
and <i>Manikavachakar</i> went from temple to temple sang and danced and shed
tears of love of extreme reliance on Siva for His Boundless Grace. So in this
verse (115) the saint reveals the emotional worship and prayer as the sole aim
of existence in this world in spite of censure of the antagonists like the
followers of Patanchal &c. Authorities are abundant to support the truth
that emotional prayer in temples is the necessary antecedent of bhakti or love
to the Supreme Siva and that bhakti or love to the supreme Siva is the essence
to be extracted from the Siva-Sariya, Siva-Kiriya, Siva-Yoga, Sivagnana. And as
such and as supported by the authorities below stands superior to the said
action (Sariya, Kiriya &c), to the said Yoga, and to the said Gnana.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

however, says that Love is not to be condemned, simply because it is an
attachment. Things are not good or bad in themselves but the uses that are made
of them. Companionship is not undesirable per se, companionship with had men is
no doubt undesirable, but that with good men is to be eagerly sought. Even the
deadly poison of colors acts like nectar, while mile like poison, under various
circumstances. Similarly, <i>attachment </i>is not to be condemned per se. what
the Yoga sutras condemn is attachment towards worldly objects which being on
distraction of the mind, but <i>not attachment towards God</i>. Hence as is
laid down in the sutra (21) Love is not to be condemned, simply because it is
an attachment; for the Love which Sandilya is speaking of in the <i>Love
towards the Fountain Source of all that is pure and holy</i>.” – J. Magoomdar’s

Love. The wise man without Love is invariably a victim to the <i>snare of his
intellect</i>, and so is the Yogi devoid of Love to that of self-mortification.
It is love that imparts its divine warmth and lustre to wisdom or Yoga. The man
of action must also be full of love for humanity or he will be wanting in the
main spring of his action” – commentary on the above sutra 10 c.f. 86<sup>th</sup>

thinketh It thus, Knoweth It thus, becometh one whose entire love is to the
Atma &c” – Chandogya Upanishad. Mr. J. Magoomdar says “In this passage are
given the <i>various stages</i> through which a man has to pass in order to
reach the <i>Final Goal</i> and <i>knowledge</i> here is mentioned as a lower
stage than love, which is mentioned after the former.” <i>A Saiva Siddhanti
goes further and says that all the four stages</i>, (<i>Sariya</i> – <i>Kiriya</i>
– <i>Yoga</i> - <i>Gnana</i>), <i>are successively indispensable and,
(unavoidable and each inseparable with pure Love</i>. In other words in order
to reach the Final Goal a soul pliant with Love should have and could not but
have gone through the four stages successively either in final birth or in the
birth previous thereto. For instance our Saint <i>Kannappar</i> got through
these stages in his previous birth as Arjuna under Sri Krishna, his divine
teacher, with the effect that he (<i>Kannappar</i>) was only to be born again
amongst the warlike race and, by the emotional prayer with Extreme Love to Siva
attained Siva-Sayujya (the Highest Goal for a perfectest soul) in the Sri
Kalathi Siva Temple. So, from a Saiva Siddhanta stand-point all the four stages
(Sariya etc.,) of action, Yoga and Gnana are all necessary; and a soul
ascending through these steps in the ladder should throughout bear in mind the
need of the hold or anxiety of <i>pure and holy Love to Supreme Siva</i>. Hence

to be struck <i>over and over again</i>, till it is free from impurities.”

without love, still you must not neglect the practice of virtues (sariya,

overflow with the love and reverence he feels for his ideal and sincere prayer
is nothing but the spontaneous outburst of his enraptured heart. Set forms of
prayer are intended for reminding the worshipper of the ideals of his life.
When a Christian “looks towards the Heavens” and says “Father, Thou art
merciful”, he, according to his idea, is worshipping God although he has no
image of mercy before his physical eyes; and if he is worshipping sincerely he
has the ideal of mercy in God before his mental eyes and longs in the heart of
his heart to become as merciful as God Himself. If he however rests satisfied
with simply uttering the words, “Father, thou art merciful,” without trying to
become as merciful as God Himself, his worship is of no use; for, in that case,
he does not advance an inch towards his ideal.’ – J. Magoomdar (Note how our

adequate to carry it on <i>alone</i>.” If this be true, and it would seem to be
capable of proof from a historical point of view, - then do we not need, for
the realization of the highest moral progress, a union of the <i>deepest
reverence of the theist with the tender and more innate sympathy of the</i>
pantheist? – sympathy which comes of that love of universal nature, of
universal life in all its forms? Only thus it would seem, shall we arrive at
the truest and most effective conception of the <i>fatherhood of God and the
real brotherhood of man</i>. When historic theism and historic pantheism shall
have advanced to <i>a point where full coalescence is possible, then will the
present movement in the world of thought have reached, apparently a destined
goal</i>.”</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: TA;">]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

set expressions of His said Superiority and Benevolence) and carry on the

that true Ideal (Lord-Siva) and become the Ideal i.e., <i>one with Him</i>

soul that has attained the said Supremest Moksha, there is neither dualism nor
monism nor non-dualism nor both nor anything in existence except <i>the Blessed
Sivanubhava or the experience and enjoyment of the Blissful God of Love and
Love alone, that is, Siva, Siva, Siva alone</i>. There exists no speech, no
word, no argument, no darkness, no powerfulness of anava and no likes nor
dislikes. Anavamala becomes dead like a burnt seed and the Mukta, of course,
becomes absorbed in Love (Siva), indistinguishable, say, to the eye of a
spectator, just like a man’s shadow which becomes indistinct when he gets under
the dark (cool) shade of a tree. This Sivadvaita Gnanananda of the blessed
Mukta is misconstrued as mere monism. But as posited by the Saiva Siddhanta
school it is dualism as well as monism and goes further beyond and is a <i>Beyond</i>:
It is, as I already cautioned myself, in a speaker’s stand-point: -<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i>the Dualism</i>, in as much as its infant stage or growth in ‘dutifulness to
Siva’ i.e., contemplating Siva in the second person, the <i>contemplator </i>feeling
himself in the first-person.\<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and the <i>Monism</i>, in as much as its grown up (adult) stage in the maturity
of thought and consequent capability of becoming the Parabrahman whom he
(contemplated) reflects upon, that is, in other words, in this stage he is said
to identify himself with the Parabrahman; or in brief, the soul (contemplator),
reaches the Bhavana-Bhavana stage i.e., sunk in reflection (Bhavana) upon the a
thing (Bhavagam).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Lastly, the stage Beyond is the true <i>Advaitam </i>when the above reflection
is so much and so far intensified that the soul that <i>reflects </i>becomes
the object (Siva or God of Love) reflected upon and <i>sees</i> Siva in all and
all as Siva and enjoys the infinite Bliss of Love for ever, of course having
melted itself by the above sadana (a and b) <i>Sariya</i>-<i>Kiriya</i>-<i>Yoga</i>-<i>Gnana</i>
into that Love. This is the Sivohambhavana (Sivadvaitam). But this Sivadvaitam
is not Siva-sama-sivadvaitam <i>i.e</i>., to become equal with Siva). But it is

stages of Sadana, <i>Sariya</i>, <i>Kiriya</i>, <i>Yoga </i>and <i>Gnana </i>correspond
to dualism (<i>Sariya</i> and <i>Kiriya</i>), <i>Monism</i> (Yoga) and the
state beyond (Gnana). This must be, and nothing else can be, and the correct
reasonable interpretation of dualism and monism. And the worship or
contemplation of Siva or Love Supreme being the Highest Truth universally
acceptable and accepted, the above four stages may be called
siva-Sariya-Siva-Kiriya-Siva-Yoga and Siva-Gnana. These four stages do include,
as aforesaid, the dualism, monism and the stage Beyond. The Stage Beyond is
predicated by this school, the end which this stage leads to being the <i>Siva-Sayujya
Sivananda Moksha</i>. Now, then, therefore it can be safely concluded that the
Saiva School includes all schools in their right sense and is yet beyond all
schools and is the nearest step to the Highest Moksha (Sivasayujya) aforesaid.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

extant in all! Clear as a nelli* fruit on the palm are the four <i>purusharthas</i>†
announced in the Vedagamas. Of these the fourth and the supremest is the <i>moksha</i>.
To think of this Final End to be aimed at by the souls and to understand truly
its nature. Different <i>schools</i> of philosophy define It differently by
means of several logical methods such as <i>anumana</i>‡ &c. But in the
soul’s undifferentiated <i>anubhava</i>§ of the profound meditation on Thee,
these logical reasonings cease to have any use. In that supreme state of
Changeless Peace, there is no speech at all. <i>There </i>the souls in their
absorbed state cannot say <i>either one</i> or <i>two</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

saying there is neither ‘Thou’ nor ‘I’, is simply a method adopted to teach the
<i>Sivohambhavana</i>|| practice of Sariya, Kiriya, Yoga and Gnana. For, in
reality, <i>Thou art a Being as well as I am a being</i>. Then what is meant by
saying ‘There is no individual existence as ego or ‘I’? ¶ <i>Thou </i>knowest
it well. How can those perceive it who are yet not free from their anava or
ignorance? To make them know it, there is nothing else we can pitch upon to
compare with the <i>Moksha</i> state or <i>anubhava</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

moment, let go from my memory Thy All-Graciousness; whether I remain under a
cool-shaded grove of fragment flowers; Or whether I drink fresh water of a most
refreshing kind or take a good bath in it; whether I be gifted to walk at
pleasure in a court yard which diffuses the most delightful flavour of sandal
wood as if occupied by the accomplished damsels of exquisite taste and beauty
who wear it; whether I enjoy with pleasure the bright moon-light; whether I
take sumptuous food consisting of all six tastes and sweet as nectar of the
Sea.* or when, prior to sleep at night I am engaged in a joyous sport garlanded
with sweet smelling flowers, wearing pleasant smelling <i>Sandanam</i> and

their bhanda and moksha conditions. Were I to ascertain the true meaning of the
sages’ great maxim ‘not on atom moveth but by Him,’ I should be fully convinced
of the sound reasons of thee manifestations: - Why are their knowledge and
ignorance, the wise and the ignorant? Some are great yogins of abstract
meditation in silence and some who are of my stamp resort to incessant
controversies and exhortations as if born for nothing else. How to account for
the origin of our mayaic* mind and its hardness and softness? Why was <i>this</i>
world created and by whom? How is the differentiation of the subtle elements
caused? How do we talk of virtue and vice – pleasure and pain – good and evil –

as a soul’s physical body moves as a living thing when the soul is within it
and is identified with the soul by being called as ‘John’ or ‘Rama’ or
‘Krishna’ &c., so the whole universe (body, mind and souls or <i>he</i>, <i>she</i>
and <i>it</i>) moves as a living <i>whole</i> when its Soul (God), the Siva Sat
united to His Sakti, pervades it (universe) as <i>such</i>, and not otherwise.
It is then that the Universe or Nature is identified with God (its inner life)
and is called God Himself. By ignorance or bigotry or prejudice some persist in
saying that God is the universe in substance i.e., essentially. In other words,
the essence of the God and the essence of the universe are one and the same
which is God.

effect a thing like a pot. For instance, God being the (1) First Cause (Potter)
wills the whole world (pot) to come into a manifested existence out of (2) the

the Instrumental Cause. <i>His own Arul sakti</i> (potter’s wheel).</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: TA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

(95) points out the <i>co-existence</i> of the <i>Three Padarthas</i>, <i>Pathi
</i>(Lord), <i>Pasu</i> (souls including of course the muktas, devas <i>Brahma</i>
&c.), and <i>Pasa </i>(maya or matter) and does, indirectly, reveal the
possibility of such <i>co-existence</i> without any contradiction. For, there
is not wanting the <i>unity</i> of ABSOLUTE LORSHIP or control or government of
the eternal Supreme Siva-Lord of <i>subjective nature, over the individual
souls</i> and <i>maya</i>, both which being of objective nature are ever
inseparable with and subordinate to Him either in <i>bhanda</i> or <i>moksha</i>
states, and <i>they</i> can never affect His Omnipresence or Omniscience or
Omnipotence &c. He has such <i>power</i> and <i>nature</i>. Who is to
question it? When a soul becomes a mukta it assumes its subjective nature so
far as pasa (matter) is concerned only. Even in its <i>moksha</i> state with
pathi (Lord), the soul’s nature is objective only.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: TA;">]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

according to this school, an entity (matter with its own attributes or
qualities illusory in their nature or kind but the attribute (illusion) is
often confounded by the orthodox. Vedantins with the entity possessing such
attribute. It may be asked here ‘what is then meant by a Saiva Siddhanti
calling the maya to be false’? The Siddhanti fairly and without any fallacy
answers the question thus: - ‘A Siddhanti calls ‘maya’ an entity and says it is
false because it is literally false i.e. false=deceitful (Latin ‘<i>falsus</i>’=deceived),
while an orthodox Vedantin calls ‘maya’ <i>false</i> (not an entity) because it
is an illusion. I would ask any disinterested inquirer to ponder over here and
answer me fair <i>which</i> must be correct. (Correctness means logical
precision, absence of any fallacy and not open to reasonable questionings nor
hostile to reason and experience). If the maya which is false (deceitful) is to
be understood as a <i>non-entity</i> (which no best lexicon seems to support),
then why are the systems of Prayer or Guru Darsana or Guru seeking or the doctrine
of Divine Arul or the inspiring Mahatmas, or the temple worship on Vedic
learning or the Vedas themselves, enjoined as necessary to, remove our
ignorance, since ignorance due to mayaic <i>manas</i> cannot then arise at all?
They are sometimes followed and adopted even by the orthodox Vedantins. If
everything is non-entity, except their own ‘Self’, then their ‘Self’ can with
safety damn these systems as they (Vedantins of this type) will have no things
are entities to contend or struggle against with the weapons of the prescribed
modes of <i>Sadhana chathushtaya</i>, <i>Sariya</i> &c. They preach against
these systems and yet themselves adopt them.]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

different from the Supreme Soul (God). They co-exist with God for ever as a
fact; but their co-existence is subject to <i>changes</i> and sufferings (the
outcome of their ignorance) until they are able to get God’s Divine Arul. They
attain changeless perfection and bliss through God’s grace (not otherwise),
when, they are said to be <i>identifiable</i> with God or to become God. This <i>becoming</i>
is confounded by some with <i>identity</i> or <i>realization</i> by which they
seem to mean or assume that man is not God, only until he known himself to be
God; and is God or <i>becomes</i> God, when he so knows himself to be’. This is
mere Idealism i.e., indulging in bare ideas or speculations without resorting
to the revealed Truth of God’s beneficent relationship to us (souls). c.f. 50<sup>th</sup>

Brahma.” The monists or idealists construe this to suit their rationalism
theory, to mean ‘<i>one without a second</i>’ i.e., only one entity and there
is nothing else. But why should they drop or miss “Brahma” in their
interpretation? Because, otherwise, the true, Agamic interpretation “One Brahma
without a second” i.e., “without a Second (<i>Brahma</i>),” which supports both
reason, argument, logic and experience, will suggest itself at once to them and
contradict their own theory of self made Godship. Pity it is that they don’t
see that the universally prevalent Doctrined <i>Prayer to God</i> establishes
the God to be different from us (souls or prayers) and to be also a Personal
God i.e., not personal like ourselves but able to hear without ears like ours,
to see without eyes like ours, to think or will without mind other art like
ours &c</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: TA;">.]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

comprehend and know Thee. For, as the Great Chaitanyam† which animates the
whole cosmos, Thou canst be said to be anything and every thing in it. Thou art
the restless mind of light and ignorance and Thou art the intelligence gleaming
through that mind; Thou art the Siva-Chit‡ the basis of all intelligences; Thou
art the wonderfil phenomena and yet the true <i>Unchangeable Reality</i>; Thou
art all objects of nature and the five senses that understand that nature and
also the objects of those five senses; Thou art the five elements; Thou art
manifest and not-manifest, accessible and not-accessible; Thou art the <i>increase</i>

well as bad,* Thou art the one of the several and all and the Past, Present and

occupied by this <i>Prapancha</i>.|| Some, like me, would profess to well
propound the hidden secrets of the sastras just as all the commodities are

order to obtain <i>Sadhya-siddhi</i>, † have suffered very much. They would
appease their hunger and thirst with dry leaves and fruits and with water and
sit, in an unshaken manner, towards Thy contemplation, for a length of time in
dark mountain caves; they would take their bath in sacred waters and, allowing
themselves to be scorched by five fires,‡ seat themselves in yoga for long
duration, so that their ribs might become prominent and their hairs as much intertwined
as to admit of birds making their nests therein. They would further manage to
control their vital airs§ and their minds and sit in <i>mona </i>in the forest
consuming the sweet nectar flowing from the <i>Soma’s</i> orb brought in
contact with the blaze roused of the inner fire. All these hardships they had
to undergo for to get Thy Blissful Grace which is the Final End aimed at by the
Vedagamas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

it is unreal. All that he <i>can</i> say is that it is there, and that it must
be removed by vidya, science, or by Vedanta, the philosophy of the Upanishads”
Professor Max Muller. “The Vedanta does not say that he world is a mere
illusion. On the other hand it says that it is real nay, that it is eternal.
But its reality and eternality are only relative, for it exists and can exist
(a Siddhanti would say it co-exist so to distinguish it from eternal
unchangeable Paramatma) only in and through Brahman, the <i>changeless</i>
substance.” – <i>The Awakened India</i>, September 1897</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: TA;">.]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

yourselves to reach the region of <i>Dhruva</i>† which is as bright as the
golden mountain of <i>Meru</i>‡ and can stand in great splendor and loftiness
like the mighty <i>Trivikrama</i>§; you can collect and reduce the waters of
the seven|| oceans to the size of a black gram and take them in as the small
draught of <i>asamana</i>$; you can make a play-ball of both Indra’s world and
his elephant¶; you can compress in a mustard-seed all the heavenly spheres and
make a show of all the eight** classes of mountains together. In short, you can
make a molecule of a universe and a universe of a molecule.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

illiteracy becomes by far superior to learning, in as much as I see that even
among the learned the ignorance does prevail. For instance, see my insensible
tendencies, the effect of my past karma.* As an intellectual giant I would, by
the force of my argument, establish that Karma† alone can procure the Mukti,
before the <i>wise</i> who would kindly instruct me that the Highest End can be
attained only by the Path-Gnana‡ of Bliss. If one should discuss in favor of
Karma, I would take up the side of the said Gnana and succeed in establishing
it (gnana) as the immediate step to Moksha. Before one who professes to be a
Sanskrit scholar. I would argue in Tamil as though I were well versed in it;
and if he should speak in Tamil, I would try to hush him up by some quotations
from Sanskrit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

silencing§ others with good speech can never lead one to Moksha.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

worthy stage of wisdom! Thou art the dominating Holy Spirit existing everywhere
in nature. So the Vedas Rig* &c., as well as the great Yogins and Schools
of Teachers have rightly declared that all are Thy slaves, that all are Thy
body and property and that all motions and actions in the universes are Thine:
This and this alone, I was blessed to see, was the true Siddhanta† or
established conclusion. But instead of adhering to it and attainting Thy Bliss.
I have simply squandered my time and I am not untold of Thy Benevolence being
the cause‡ of this also.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: TA;"> I

Bliss.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to facilitate the duties of the 3 classes of priests. In the sacrificial
ceremonies, and of the (4<sup>th</sup>) superintendent of the sacrifice) –
namely Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama-veda, and Atharva-Veda, Veda means knowledge</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: TA;">.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

yogins, siddhas, and all great pure souls. Equipped with such knowledge, they
perceive no difference between the Veda and the Agamas, and they tolerate all
schools, <i>incorporate </i>all schools, assimilate all schools, and
accommodate all schools in their essence and truth. Then only they can be
worthy Saiva Siddhanta. cf. verses 8, 37 and 39</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: TA;">.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The
Saint refers to the Doctrine of <i>Karma</i> as posited by the Saiva Siddhanta
School – that is – God is said to ordain the working of the Universal Law of
Karma which induces the souls to eat the fruits of past actions, good as well
as bad; when bad, the soul is said to suffer under the Rajasic misuse of time
&c. Hence the saint knows God’s Benevolence as the cause of this evil
quality and consequent suffering of pain, because, as said above, it is by
God’s Grace that we go round the course of rebirths to eat away the fruits of <i>Karma
</i>and procure the equilibrium (Iruvinai Oppu) of both</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: TA;">.]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

worthy stage of wisdom! It has been invariably proclaimed by the Vedas that <i>those
who fix their mind upon any object and meditate on the same become absorbed and
transformed into that object quite forgetful of everything else</i>. So the
great sages who live in this world as Jivan Muktas are quite mindless of their
death.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

stage of wisdom! From the flinty nature of my heart I see that I am not worthy
that Thou shouldst make me the object of Thy Blessing. And I know, indeed, that
Thou wilt be moved at Thy devotees only if they at once resort to Thy Help and
render themselves the fit objects of Thy Divine Favor, by ever praising the
boundless flow of Thy Love and by worshipping Thee, the inexhaustible spring
thereof, with their beautiful hands in great excitement: - that is, by dancing
and singing Thy Glory with as pleasant a smile as the bright moon light and
with tears of love springing forth from their eyes, with throbbing hearts and
choking voices and their bodies relaxed with dissolved bones. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

worthy stage of wisdom! Let me, now, state the virtues of true Gnanis* to whom
Thou wouldst be readily accessible. They are so wise as to foresee that their
future is to be meted out according to their tendencies in <i>this</i> life. They
are ever intent on benefitting others. They have strict regard to truth and to
the fulfilment of their promises. With ‘clemency’ as their watchword, they prove
themselves quite harmless to <i>all</i> creatures. When they are thus prepared
for Thy Grace, Thou, who art the everlasting witness, dost bestow on them both
heavenly and earthly happinesses, just like the trees of Heaven such as <i>Kalpataru</i>†
and <i>Samtanaka</i>‡ &c.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Negative good, in that it has expelled from me the elephant-like beastliness with the result that I have thrown off the chains of desire and pulled off the peg of self-pride and, brutish with the true advaita knowledge, I have drunk in as with the elephant's proboscis the sweets of the six alien systems* of Faith; and that, roaring and flying away from my own shadow of my ignorance, I swallowed up to my fill the wandering mind and stripped out the front-let of <i>maya mala</i>.†</span></span></div>

<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> The fourth annual sittings of this philosophic and mystic synod were held on Dec. 29, 30 and 31 of the year just closed, at the Hall of the National High School, Trichinopoly, under the presidency of the Hon'ble Mr. A. Kanakasabhai, </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">B. A</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">., Member of the Ceylon Legislative Council. The hall was full to overflowing, the attendance counting not less than 1200 to 1500 members, with a fair sprinkling of Europeans, which was a special feature. A large number of ladies, both young and old, graced the Conference with their presence, bearing silent testimony to the deeply spiritual nature of womankind in the East. The strains of the sweet "Tirumurai" psalms with which the proceedings were diversified to the melodious accompaniment of violin and cymbals, added greatly to the solemnity and spiritual sanctity of the meeting. The proceedings were inaugurated with a prayer to God, and Mr. T. S. Annamalai Pillai, retired Tahsildar of Trichinopoly, welcomed, as Chairman of the Reception Committee, the President, lecturers, members and delegates returned from various branch Associations. He had received the President the previous day on the platform of the Trichinopoly Junction Railway Station and conducted him in pompous and gorgeous procession to the place engaged for his sojourn in the premises of the National High School, Mr. T. S. Svaminatha Pillai, Head-Clerk of the Trichinopoly Railway Auditor's Office, read the fourth Annual Report, dwelling with satisfaction on the useful work turned out by the Conference in the past. Pandit R. S. Vedachalam Pillai of the Madras Christian College, read next his address of welcome to the President, pointing out how proud and ennobled the Conference felt in having such a learned and highly placed gentleman like the Hon. Mr. A. Kanakasabhai, in its midst, to preside over its proceedings. The Hon. Mr. A. Kanakasabhai in thanking the Pandit for the address of welcome, delivered a most interesting speech, full of common sense and wisdom, which the audience greeted by deafening cheers now and again. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><b><span style="font-size: 16pt;">T</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">HE </span><span style="font-size: 16pt;">P</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">RESIDENT'S </span><span style="font-size: 16pt;">S</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">PEECH.</span></b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> He said in effect that he felt some diffidence in occupying a seat that was so worthily filled in previous years by such eminent men of learning and spiritual culture as Messers. P. Ramanathan, P. Panditorai Tevar, and J. M. Nallaswami Pillai; but that he had come all the way from Colombo to learn the mystic basis of the glorious Saiva-Siddhanta Philosophy, rather than to teach or preach it, felling that he had almost a Divine inviting him for the presidentship. He then referred to the efforts of the early pioneers of the Saiva Siddhanta movement to expound its cult and disseminate its teachings in South India and Ceylon. Arumuga Navalar of Jaffna and Ramalinga Swami of Chidambaram were the two lights that helped in a great measure to give to the public practical proofs of the philosophical and mystical aspects of the Saiva-Siddhanta. The early European missionaries like the Rev. Mr. Hoisington could bot be thought of without the sense of a debt of gratitude for their efforts to bring to light through the medium of English what was till then locked up in Tamil libraries. He then contrasted the past conditions of Saivism in Ceylon and in India, pointing out that in the former country the aggressive religious policy adopted by the Portuguese Government, resulted in the demolition of two Saiva shrines (to rebuild which early steps will in the near future be taken), and the less aggressive if not neutral policy adopted by the Dutch Government, could at best only leave the shock, sustained by Saivism, unrepaired. It was only with the advent of the British rule that Saivism might be said to have enjoyed a season of equable peace and salutary activity. The case of India was different and consequently Indian Saivism had the advantage of an earlier start and continued culture. Any way, Saivism was a system of religious philosophy which was destined, at no distant date, to become the basis of a universal article of faith. It was a system whose date and origin could be traced to a very remote period of antiquity, and all modern schools of thought would eventually find in it the real spiritual food for human salvation, and the solution of the deeper problems of the spirit. It was built upon universal love, a love that was not merely neighborly love, not even universal brotherhood, but love of the whole universe including man, love of the whole creation. Such a universal love was a consummation to be devoutly wished for. If from any religion or any system of though, the sentiment of universal love were taken away, what remained was like a deserted house, incapable of being occupied. The President then referred to the teachings of Buddhism about non-killing, arguing from the evidence afforded thereby that there should have been indiscriminate slaughtering of animals at the time of their advent. But the Saiva-Siddhanta philosophy had abjured killing in no uncertain tones, in the name of all that man holds sacred and dear, long before the birth of Buddhism. It therefore devolved upon all the Saivites to look upon killing of animals with dismay and shame, and to put an end to flesh eating which encouraged that evil instinct. One of the first duties of the gentlemen that were assembled for the Conference was to put an end to the eating of flesh, and to discourage it in all sternness wherever it might be prevalent. Even the most superficial students of the Saiva-Siddhanta faith would know that kindliness and toleration were the earliest virtues taught by it. Divine Grace which had animated saints and sages like Manikkavacahagar and Tiruvalluvar, was the bed-rock of the Saiva-Siddhanta Movement, a rock which was firmer than the yonder rock at whose base the Conference was met to do honor to the great God. By the force of that grace, one was enabled to practice virtue; and when that power of Divine Grace was once acquired, it struck every pulse of Man's Nature, and dominated the whole course of his conduct. It was that power again which induced the practice of toleration towards others which, when constantly cultivated as a habit, led, in the fullness of time, to universal love which was necessary for the uplifting of mankind. Another leading tenet of the Saiva-Siddhanta was the belief in the operation of the karmic law which acted as surely in the moral world as in the physical, in both of which, man reaped as he sowed. Altogether, the four distinguishing points of the Saiva-Siddhanta were 'Jiva-karunyam, love towards all life, animal and human, or rational and dumb, and its concomitant, the non-killing of animals under any pretext, 'Karma', 'Toleration,' and the doctrine of 'Divine Grace' connected with the salvation of souls. And these were pre-eminently the basic elements of the cult of Saivism from Pre-Buddhistic days. The position that Saiva-Siddhanta occupied at present and the knowledge that was possessed of it was inadequate to its importance as a soul-saving system. Savants in Europe and America had not yet begun to study it as much as they had studied and understood other systems, - the Vedic Religion in its intellectual, 'Vedantic' aspect for instance. Before resuming his seat, the President gracefully acknowledged the indebtedness of the Saiva-Siddhanta cause to the works and labors of the late Dr. Pope which were calculated to convey a useful knowledge of that system to those who were unable to read the originals, and those of others like Mr. Nallaswami Pillai, who had devoted their lives to its study and propagation. He read to the audience a number of telegrams received from various places wishing God-speed to the conference.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> In the afternoon of the 29<sup>th</sup>, Pandit R. S. Vedachalam discoursed on the "Inner Meaning of Siva-Linga" drawing apt analogies from the results of recent experimental sciences, like physics and chemistry, to illustrate the deeper conceptions involved in the structure of that pratika, as a symbol of meditation. Mr. G. Sadasivam Pillai, Editor of <i>Nagai Nilalochani</i>, lectured on "Devotion to Guru," and Mr. A. Rangaswami Iyer, on the esoteric meaning of the "Four Paths" recognized by the Agamic Philosophy, drawing largely on Sanskrit authorities, and making his treatment of the theme practical and easily understood.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> The most noteworthy feature of the conference during its past session was the pillar of intellectual strength it had found in the pious young lady, Mrs. Andalammal, who treated it to a most solemn and thrilling discourse on the "Significance of the Sacred Ashes" on the morning of the 30<sup>th</sup>. Her delivery was impeccable, and the calm poise of her high thinking, and the rippling flow of her pure eloquence terminating with beautiful effect in a sonorous climax, whenever the dignity of the topics demanded it, was a matter for extreme praise. As a fluent and cultured speaker of Tamil, she could hold her own, by the side of the best of the sterner sex known to fame. The lecture assumed a much wider scope in her hands than the title seemed subtler spiritual aspects of the Saiva-Siddhanta, staggering the audience by the wealth of her resources, culture, and Sanskrit and Tamil authorities and quotations. The President complimented the lady-lecturer in suitably graceful terms for her accomplishments and piety, and presented her with two lots of books as souvenirs of esteem and admiration, after announcing the names of the gentlemen whose presents they were. The following encomium in Tamil verse was compiled in her honor by A. Shanmuga Pillai of Solavandan, one of the greatest Tamil pandits of the present day:-</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> Mr. Nallaswami Pillai then addressed the conference on the doctrine of Karma-samya pointing out that its real sense required men to look alike on, the sweets and bitters of life, and not to be buoyed up by the one, nor depressed by the other. The pleasures and calamities had their unavoidable functions in the life of this world, and the wise man was he who with his mind ever fixed on God, was not swayed by these pairs of opposites. Such a step would pave the way for the dawning of Divine Grace on his soul.</span></span></div>

<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> Mr. A. V. Gopalachariyar, </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">M. A., B. L</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">., High Court Vakil, Trichinopoly, then lectured on the Philosophy of the Bhagavad gita as expounded by Sri Ramanujacharya, entering into a full analysis of the contents of the Gita, and pointing out that they embraced the three modes of finding God, to wit, Karma-Yoga, Jnana-Yoga, and Bhakti-Yoga. He said that by means of Karma-Yoga the aspirant brought his senses and thoughts under perfect control, by the second, he beheld his Atman, and by the third, he saw God. He also dwelt on the fact that both Saivism and Vaishnavism were completely at one on their philosophical and mystical basis, by comparing the teachings of Srikantha with those of Ramanuja, on the Sesha-Seshi-bhava, the so-called pratitantra, the Karya-karana-bhava, the samanadhikarana and so on. He came to the conclusion that both the systems were Sakti-Visishtadvaita, and interpreted Visishtadvaita to mean the unity or oneness of Sukshma-chit-Achit-visishta-Brahman with Sthula-chit-Achit-Visishta-Brahman. He quoted from Appayya's works freely to show that even the terminology of the two forms of faith had a common basis and concept.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> In the afternoon of the 30<sup>th</sup> Mr. T. Bhaktavatsalam Pillai, </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">B.A</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">., read a paper on "Devotion to God," in which he deprecated materialistic thinking which was one of the fruits of the system of Western Education imparted to the youths of this country at the present day.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> Pandit Vedachalam then discoursed on "The Social aspects of Saiva-Siddhanta" in the course of which he brought grave charges against the ethic of Hindu Idealism, as being mischievous in practice, and inapplicable to social conditions of any age or clime.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> The President in his remarks on Pandit Vedachalam's speech went fully into the subject of the Social aspects of Saiva-Siddhanta. He quoted a psalm from Appar's Tevaram, and the well-known Svetasvatara text cited by Nilakantha in his Bhashya on the Brahma-sutras, and said that so far as principles were concerned, there was everything in Saivism to inculcate and uphold the social equality of all men, but in practice it was not possible to abolish all caste-distinctions at one stroke. But reform in the direction of equalization of castes was exceedingly desirable and necessary, and as a first step it behooved on the Saivaites to elevate the depressed classes by adopting towards them a more sympathetic and compassionate treatment, and by rendering them worthy of greater humanity and consideration. And thus the reform could begin in small and easy things, and proceed step by step to greater and radical changes. There was no use talking glibly about social equality, as a mere platitude, and shunning the questions when it came to practical test, and eventually making of one's vaunted profession a grace mockery. Even inter-dining between the various sections of Saivaites was not an accomplished fact. In spite of the living dicta laid down by Sambandha, Vagisa and Srikantha, the real reformation in the amelioration of castes was carried out mostly by Free-thinkers, Arya-samjaists and Brahmo-samajists.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> Mr. N. Gopalakrishna Pillai, Sub-editor, Svadesamitran, then read a communication made by Mr. R. S. Subramanyam B.A., of Colombo entitled "The work before us" which was able and full of sound sense, almost putting forward every conceivable plea for the up-lifting of the lower and down-trodden orders of the Hindu Community.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> The President then announced the invitation of H. H. the Raja of Ramnad to the Saiva-Siddhanta Conference to come over to Madura and hold its next Session there during the Christmas of December 1910. This was cheerfully and gratefully accepted by the Conference, and a standing committee of fifteen members was at once formed to arrange therefore. The President placed also before the Conference a letter received from the Private Secretary to H. H. The Gaekwar of Baroda intimating the inability of His Highness to attend the Conference from pressure of his duties and conveying his best wishes for the success of the Conference. Commenting on that letter, the President eulogized the enthusiasm of H.H. the Gaekwar for salutary social reforms, and the steadiness with which he had accomplished them in many directions by brightening the lot of the depressed classes, education of women, amelioration of caste distinctions etc., within the confines of his own state.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> The first lecture on the 31<sup>st</sup> was delivered by Mr. P. Kalyanasundara Mudaliyar on "Truth" in which he established the excellence of the Saiva-Siddhanta Philosophy, as a system of faith. The second was by Mr. S. Palvanna Mudaliyar on the "State of <i>Mukti</i>". The third was by Swami Rudrakotisvara on "Saiva-Siddhanta and Kindness to Animals".</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> In the afternoon Mr. Damodaran Pillai, editor of Jnanasiddhi, Jaffna, treated the audience to an informing lecture on the "Nature and Characteristics of the Soul". The exposition of the various complex issues involved in the Agamic conception of the "Soul" and its distinction from "Matter" on the one hand and God on the other, was of enthralling interest, both on account of the sublimity of the theme and the lecturer's facility and felicity of expression. Mr. P. M. Muttaiya Pillai of Tuticorin then addressed the Conference on "The Gnosis of the Soul".</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> A Group-photo of the President, and lecturers and leading members of the Saiva Siddhanta Conference was afterwards taken in the evening, at the combined desire of all concerned.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> Pandit R. S. Vedachalam Pillai, once more addressed the assembly on the <i>advaita </i>relation between God and the Universe, taking as his text Sri Umapathisivacharya's hymn beginning "</span><span style="font-family: Mangal; font-size: 10pt;">புறச்சமயத்தவர்க்கிருளாய் அகச்சமயத்தொளியாய்</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">, etc.,", and the President brought the proceedings to a close with his concluding remarks in which he conveyed at some length his best wishes for the continued success and prosperity of the Conference in years to come. As the Secretary to the Conference, Pandit Vedachalam thanked all present, including the President, lecturers, delegates and members, for the trouble they had taken to go to Trichinopoly and make the Conference the success that it had proved itself to be. And with the pronouncement of a Benediction in the name of God, the Conference terminated.</span></span></div>

O The Eternal <i>Guru</i> who art knowledge and bliss, Thou didst for the sake
of souls manifest Thyself as such on the mount <i>Siva</i>! O The Absolute
Giver of the <i>Moksha </i>which is announced in the <i>Siddhanta</i>
Philosophy! Since, as a matter of fact, I see myself not free from many evil
qualities such as egotism, envy, passions, desires, depravity &c., I am led
to think that Thou art not dwelling in me. Art Thou, therefore, to be called
limited and <i>not </i>Omnipresent? Certainly not, I should say. Because, Thou
being the only <i>Sat</i> and <i>all</i> the rest <i>asat</i>† before Thee,
nothing can ever affect Thy being immanent in all and animating <i>all</i>. And
I know, indeed, that Thou art the transcendent motionless lord of the Moksha
World and as such Thyself dost manifest and revivify by Thy <i>Gnana Sakti</i>*
the souls languishing under the hardest noose of <i>pasa</i>.Ω<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Thou didst for the sake of souls manifest Thyself as such on the mount <i>Sira</i>!
O The Absolute Giver of the <i>Moksha</i> which is announced in the <i>Siddhanta

were lying concealed like an embryo in the darkness of <i>anava-mala</i>,* Thou
didst benevolently take us out and set us to the cycle of re-births guarding us
at the same time with five kinds of pain† and feeding and developing us with
fruits of karma‡. And thou didst, then, cause us to play the part of <i>re-incarnation</i>
in the worldly theatre and didst rightly call us the characters of ‘Jiva’; Thou
didst also shew us from the Vedas the rules of our play to be strictly observed
and acted upon; if they be strictly followed by us, we would be placed in the <i>Moksha</i>
of Eternal Light and Bliss. Otherwise we would be hurled down to suffer under
the horrors of <i>Yama</i>’<i>s</i>§ cruel punishment so as to mend ourselves
for the <i>Eternal Liberation</i> without eternal damnation. O Lord, Thou art,

<i>Dakshina-Murthy</i>, O The Eternal <i>Guru</i> who art knowledge and bliss,
Thou didst for the sake of souls manifest Thyself as such on the mount Sira! O
The Absolute Giver of the <i>Moksha</i> which is announced in the <i>Siddhanta</i>
Philosophy! With true motherly love and unlimited flow of Thy bountiful Grace,
Thou didst as <i>Mowna</i> Guru appear to me and placing Thy sacred foot on my
head, didst infuse into my mind that the sole <i>Sadhana</i>* productive of the
supremest Blissful experience of eternal and infinite nature is to <i>meditate
on</i> <i>Thy Divine Arul</i>†; without ever thinking of the mere
Yoga-knowledge being the Highest End; or without employing myself in trying to
understand the nature of the <i>Mukta</i>’<i>s</i>‡ union in <i>Moksha</i>
§neither as one nor as two, neither as Akas nor as sound, and neither as Light
nor as something possessed of a form. O, then, my Lord, it is by the help of
Thy <i>Arul Sakti</i> alone that I can ever think of reaching <i>this</i> supreme
end of the ancient sages.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Principle in <i>all</i>, my actions are always Thine; and because I can never

the Vedanta and the Siddhanta can be understood to be identical; and to reach
that <i>high</i> stage, Thou knowest that I have struggled hard and suffered
very much. If I should try a little to fix my mind thereto, Ignorance (<i>anava-mala</i>)*
gets hold of me again; so I am afraid that <i>Karma</i>, <i>mala</i> and <i>maya

dost fill <i>all </i>with Beatific Bliss! Some (such as the materialists) hold
that the First Cause is the <i>maya</i>, the primordial state of the elements.
Some say It is where the organs of sensation cease to work, and some, where the
internal senses stop. Some call It the effectlessness of the three principles*
in nature. According to some It is the form of the Sound and some assign to It
the form of <i>Pranava</i>. † Some say that It has a form and some argue that
when carefully considered. It has no form. Some assert that It is the complete
cessation of the Soul’s sense enjoyment and some call It the Divine Arul (<i>Sakti</i>
or Grace). And, lastly, according to some It is the state of annihilation that
has neither beginning nor end thus various other states also are assigned to
It. By discussions such as the above, the mind must only be agitating like
mercury, without ever seeking the Yoga of Supreme Bliss.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

providence and to be confident of all that I was not destined to never
happening to me at all. It has been Thy Grace also that has helped me to know
the transientness of my body and to see the absence of difference between the
Vedanta and the Siddhanta. Thou hast produced in me such excessive love for the
eternal Happiness that I am ever pining for the same. Placing myself entirely

thoughts always by profound meditation in <i>Yoga </i>where the <i>Tatwas</i> †

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">[</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Retired District Educational Officer, Vice-President, Saiva Siddhanta Maha Samajam, Madras & President Cultural League, Vellore</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">]</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> The <i>Vedas</i> and the <i>Sivagamas</i> in Sanskrit and the <i>Tirumurais </i>and the <i>Siddhanta Sastras</i> in Tamil are the principal scriptures of Saiva Siddhanta. The four authors of the first eight of the Twelve Tirumurais are called the <i>Samaya Acharyas</i>. They are <i>St. Tirugnana Sambandar</i>, <i>St. Tirunavkkarasar</i>, <i>St. Sundaramurthi</i>, and <i>St. Manikkavachakar</i>. The hymns of the first three are generally known as <i>Thevaram</i>, and those of the last as <i>Tiruvachakam</i>. These living hymns of the Samaya Acharyas which are well-known for their intensity of devotion and spiritual uplift, and for their matchless beauty of expression contain also all the fundamental ideas of Saiva Siddhanta. The tenth Tirumurai viz., <i>Tirumantiram</i> by <i>St. Tirumular</i>, which was composed some time before the 6<sup>th</sup> century A. D., gives the essence of the Sivagamas, and a more or less systematic account of the Saiva Siddhanta Philosophy.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> Apart from this vast collection of Saiva hymns and treatises, there is another group of fourteen works in Tamil known as the Fourteen (Siddhanta) Sastras. These were written between 1147 A. D. and 1313 A. D. by six great seers. They are (1) <i>Tiruviyalur - Uyyavanda Devar</i>, (2) <i>Tirukkadavur – Uyyavanda Devar</i>, (3) <i>Meikanda Devar</i>, (4) <i>Arulnandi Devar</i>, (5) <i>Manavachakam Kadandar</i> and (6) <i>Umapathi Sivachariar</i>. Meikanda Devar, Arulnandi Devar, Marai Gnanasambandar and Umapathi Sivachariar are known as the four <i>Santhana Acharyas</i>. <i>Meikanda Devar</i> is the famous author of Sivagnana Botham.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> <i>Umapathi Sivachariar</i> of Chidambaram is generally taken to be the author of eight out of the fourteen Siddhanta Sastras.* [* </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Researchers made recently by Mr. S. Anavaratha Vinayakam Pillai, late Tamil Reader of the Madras University, have brought to light two facts: (1) that <i>Unmainerivilakkam</i> one of the eight Siddhanta works usually attributed to St. Umapathi was not really written by him, but by one Sikali <i>Tattuvanadar</i> and (2) that <i>Tugalarubodham </i>by Sikali Chirrambalanadigal of the 14th century originally occupied the place of Unmaineri Vilakkam in the Fourteen Sastras; He came in the spiritual line continued by St. Umapathi and his samadhi with those of his 63 <i>Disciples is to be found at siddarkadu</i> about a mile westwards from Mayavaram Railway Junction. Thus the total number of authors of these Siddhanta Sastras will have to be taken as seven.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">] A short account of his inspiring life is given in the present book. From it can be seen that he was a great scholar, philosopher, poet, seer and saint. His work, <i>Sankalpa Nirakarana</i>, was expounded by him before a learned gathering in the thousand pillared mantapam of the Chidambaram temple during the Ani Tirumanjanam festival in 1313 A. D.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> <i>Tiruvarutpayan </i>is indisputably the work of St. Umapathi. The name means: the book which explains the Fruits of Grace. The treatise consists of ten chapters of ten couplets each. A clear and correct account of the Saiva Siddhanta Philosophy (and religion) is given in the 200 lines of this well-known work. The first five chapters deal with the Divine Grace, and the next five with the fruits thereof i.e. with the benefits accruing from its operation. The nature of God, of souls and of <i>Mala</i> or the principle of darkness which envelops souls is explained, along with the relation of God to the souls and the material universe. The nature of Grace and its mode of work to purify and redeem souls from the clutches of <i>Mala </i>are then dealt with. And finally, the means of attaining salvation, the nature of salvation, and the life of the <i>Jivanmuktas</i> i.e., those who have attained oneness with God but are still in the world though not of the world. The last couplet of <i>Tiruvarutpayan </i>has been rightly singled out by the translator for special notice. It is shown how loving and compassionate the illuminated souls, the Sivagnanis, are towards weak mortals.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> Niramba Alagiya Desikar, one of the commentators of <i>Sivagnana Siddhiyar</i>, has written a commentary on <i>Tiruvarutpayan </i>as well. Another commentary known as</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Mangal;"><br /> </span><span style="font-family: Latha;">சிந்தனையுரை</span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> (chintanai urai) was printed for the first time in 1934 in the edition of <i>Siddhanta Sastras</i>, published by the Saiva Siddhanta Maha Samajam, at Madras. The name of the commentator is not known. The fullest, clearest and most helpful commentary written in recent times is that by Sri S. Sivapadasundaram </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">B. A</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">., of Jaffna.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> This great little book has been translated into English by the late lamented scholar J. M. Nallaswami Pillai </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">B. A., B. L</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">., His services in the cause of Saiva Siddhanta will always be remembered with gratitude. He was among the few who have so far sought to present Saiva Religion and philosophy to the seekers after truth in other lands besides Tamilagam, through the medium of English. The value of the present translation is greatly enhanced by the copious and helpful notes. Mr. Pillai's special note on chapter VI appended to his translation is highly instructive, as it brings out very clearly the fundamental difference between Monism or <i>Ekatmavada</i> commonly associated with the name of Sankara, and <i>Saiva Siddhanta</i>.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> In the new world order, it is absolutely essential that the old barriers, claims and prejudices which have so long stood in the way of realization of human brotherhood give way. Then alone will the Love and Purity of God shine through the lives of men and women all over the world in a rapidly increasing measure. Then alone the ancient Confucian Motto, "Under heaven one family", and the Tamil poet's vision "</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Latha;">யாதுமூரே</span><span style="font-family: Mangal;"><br /> </span><span style="font-family: Latha;">யாவரும்</span><span style="font-family: Mangal;"><br /> </span><span style="font-family: Latha;">கேளீர்</span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">"† and the <i>Tevaram </i>saying</span><span style="font-family: Mangal; font-size: 10pt;"><br /> </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">"</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Latha;">தாய்தந்தை</span><span style="font-family: Mangal;"><br /> </span><span style="font-family: Latha;">பல்லுயிர்க்கும்</span><span style="font-family: Mangal;"><br /> </span><span style="font-family: Latha;">தாமேயாய</span><span style="font-family: Mangal;"><br /> </span><span style="font-family: Latha;">தலைவர்</span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">" ‡ will no longer remain empty dreams. One of the most essential things to be done to quicken the pace of progress in this line is to make available to others, in a spirit of love and humility, the best treasures of the wisdom and spiritual experience of its men who have realized God, and to receive with becoming respect such gifts from others for careful study and assimilation.</span></span></div>

<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Old English Text MT; font-size: 18pt;"><b>T</b></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">HE first few chapters were published in the pages of that able fortnightly magazine "Brahmavadin," and the whole book is now published, at the earnest request of many lovers of Siddhanta. I have again tried to bring out and emphasize the peculiar characteristic of this philosophy in my notes; and the references and quotations from the Bagavat Gita will show what great resemblance there is in language and thought between the two, that is, assuming that there is any difference between the two at all. In fact in the same way, as people talk of the Siddhanta, variously as being Sankhya, Yoga or Gnana, as being Dwaita and Vishistadwaita and Adwaita, so it is people talk of the Gita at one time as Sankhya at another time as Vedanta and so on. The peculiar features of the Gita are its doctrine of Grace and Love, its clear exposition of the relation of the three Padartas, its clear distinction of man (Atma, Purusha and Anisa) from 'another' (Paramatma and Paramapurusha, Isa and Maheshwara) and the absence of that dogmatic assertion that there is no individual atma and atma is God; and these are also the peculiar features of the Siddhanta. Those who could see in the mystery of the Lord's Viswaswarupa in the "Satarudriya," and Chapters ix, x and xi of the Gita, the Supreme Hindu Doctrine that God is all and not all, will not drag this doctrine into the mire. "This whole universe is pervaded by me in an unperceived form. All entities live in me, but I do no live in them. Nor yet do all entities live in me." The connection between the Gita and the Siddhanta, will be best understood by ascertaining what was the historic and ancient form of Religion and faith during the time of the Mahabharata; and the passages from Mahabharata and other works and the opinions of Lassen and others cited in Muir's Sanskrit Text Vo. Iv and the author's own conclusion leave no room for doubt in this matter, that the form of religion was essentially Saiva; and of course, it is needless to point out that no such name could have come into use then, as there were no other conflicting creeds to distinguish it from.</span></span></div>

<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 20pt;"><b>INTRODUCTION</b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">(<i>By the Translator</i>)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><br /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span><span style="font-family: Old English Text MT;">T</span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">HE work in question is one of the fourteen Siddhanta Sastras, and the author, one of the four Santhana Acharyas or Saints and expounders of the Tamil Philosophy. Though he is the last of the four Saints, he is the author of eight out of the fourteen Siddhanta works, the most important of which, Sivaprakasam or 'Light of God', was translated more than 40 years ago by the Rev. H. R. Hoisington of Ceylon and published in Volume IV of the Journal of the American Oriental Society. In Southern India, the Divine Songs of the Great Saints, Gnanasambandha, Vakisa or Appar, Sundara and Manickavachaka are popularly and properly known as the Tamil Veda and Professor Sundaram Pillai, </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">M. A</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">., in his bright little brochure on the age of Gnanasambandha, aptly calls the fourteen Siddhanta works, the Tamil Vedanta or Upanishads. And there can be no doubt that we have in these works, the brightest and largest gems picked out from the Diamond Mines of the Sanskrit Vedantic works, washed and polished and arranged in the most beautiful and symmetrical way in the diadem of Indian Thought.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> Coming to the author, I might say he was the leading Light in Philosophy, Religion and Literature about the close of the 13<sup>th</sup> and beginning of the 14<sup>th</sup> century A. D. That he was as great in spirit as he was in intellect, there is no doubt. Though he ranked as one of the Holy Three Thousand Brahmins of the Sacred Shrine at Chidambaram and the most learned of them, he did not disdain to become the humble slave of Marai Gnanasambandha who was third in succession from the Great Meikanda Deva, and eat the leavings of his master's leaf, for which he was persecuted by his caste and made to live outside the limits of Chidambaram, in a place called Kotravankudi. Though he was learned in the Veda and Vedanta and the Great Bashiams, he did not disdain to interpret these truths to the common people, in their common language. His spirituality was soon enough recognized, and the very same Brahmins had to call him back again to be present at the opening ceremony of their grand Annual Festival, Arudra Darsan, and one of his short works called 'Kodikavi' was composed on this occasion. And he wrote the History of the Temple (Chidambaram) called 'Koilpuran' in Tamil. This work is unsurpassed in elegance of diction and style. He wrote a brief summary of the 'Lives of the Saints', 'Peria Puran', and wrote the life of the writer of the 'Lives of the Saints,' Sekkilar, and a book on the discovery of the Thevaram and several other religious works. His great work in Sanskrit is his Bashiam or Commentary on the Paushkara Agama,* still in manuscript and preserved in the Library of the Thiruvavaduthurai Mutt. [* </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">This has since been published at Chidambaram by late Sri Parasakti Ambalavana Navalar of Jaffna. – Editor.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">] This is represented as a philosophic work of very rare merit. That he was an able dialectician is manifest, from the fact recorded in his 'Sankarpanirakaranam' and the work itself. This book refers to a disputation which he had during the Ani Festival in Salivahana era 1235, with a number of learned men of different schools and the arguments advanced by them and the replies given by him. The arguments are so well turned and logical, that as the preface itself sets forth, it is the book for the Tamil Student of Logic and Philosophy. I have already referred to his freedom from the trammels of caste; and that he was as broad minded in the lines of thought he pursued, is manifest from the dictum he lays down in his preface to 'Sivaprakasam' namely 'that every thing old is necessarily not true and that every thing new is necessarily not false.' He sets forth in stanza 7 of the same work, to what School of Philosophy he belongs. All philosophies, in the main, attempt to define the relation of God to the world and to justify his ways to man. As such, our philosopher says he is not an Abeda Vadhi, (Idealist and materialist) who asserts equality, succession or causation between God and the world. Nor is he a Beda Vadi (Realist – Dwaithi) who asserts co-existence, entire separateness and difference and externality of one from the other; nor a Bedabeda Vadi (Vishistadwaithi) who asserts co-existence or co-inherence of two things. He is none of these, but he is an Adwaithin, a Vedantha Siddhanthin, who postulates a relation the nearest parallel or analogy to which is furnished by the relation of body and soul (</span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Latha;">உடல்</span><span style="font-family: Mangal;"><br /> </span><span style="font-family: Latha;">உயிர்</span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">) and the relation of the eye and the sun as involved in an act of perception.* [* </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">It is usual to add a third analogy, the relation between soul's power to know and the eye's light. – Editor</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">.] Coming to the work in question, it is intended as a companion volume to the famous Kural of Thiruvalluvar, which deals with the first three Purusharthas or Supreme ends of Life, namely Dharma, Artha and Kama and left untouched the debateable ground of what is regarded as the highest of all ends, namely Moksha not that Thiruvalluvar was unmindful of the last and did not wish to inculcate the Love of God and the Worship of Him in all love and in all spirit. He pertinently asks, in fact, in his very first chapter, "What is the use of all learning, if it does not lead one to the Feet of the Supreme Intelligence?" In fact, the first chapter condenses all his views of God and his relation to the world in 10 couplets; and what is comprised in one chapter and in 10 couplets of Kural, this work expands into 10 chapters of 10 couplets each, the versification adopted being the same; and the very first verse of the latter follows the language of the earlier work. The work is called the Light or Fruits of Grace or the workings of Divine Love, and the fourth chapter, which follows the exposition of the Three Padartas and their relation to each other, is devoted to the discussion of the nature of Arul or Divine Love and its greatness, and how it influences men who have felt its touch is described in the last couplet of the book.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Mangal; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 14pt;">1. Like the letter 'A', the Incomparable Lord is all intelligence and pervades everything without change.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> The incomparable is here compared with the object of making the student comprehend the subject more easily. He is at the same time told that He is incomparable (</span><span style="font-family: Latha; font-size: 10pt;">நிகரில்</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">).</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> The points of comparison are:-</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> (a) A (</span><span style="font-family: Latha; font-size: 10pt;">அ</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">) is the first letter and the primary sound pronounced by the mere opening of the mouth and without any modification of the organs.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> (b) All other vowels are its modifications and without its aid none of the consonants can be sounded.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> (c) It loses its form when in conjunction with the consonants, as in (</span><span style="font-family: Latha; font-size: 10pt;">க</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">).</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> In the like manner, God is the first cause. He is the Life of life. He is without change. He becomes non-apparent when in union with the world.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> Here the points of resemblance cease and the other words in the couplet indicate the points of difference.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> (a) 'A' itself requires a human intelligence to utter and therefore is inert, unintelligent.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> God is all Intelligence (</span><span style="font-family: Latha; font-size: 10pt;">அறிவாகி</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">).</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> (b) 'A' is a mere human breath; God is the great Breath giving life to all breaths (</span><span style="font-family: Latha; font-size: 10pt;">எங்கும்</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">).</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> (c) 'A' can be pronounced separately and in conjunction with other sounds.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> God is always inseparably connected with the universe of souls and matter (</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Latha;">நிற்கும்</span><span style="font-family: Mangal;"><br /> </span><span style="font-family: Latha;">நிறைந்து</span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">).</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> This inseparable relation of God to the universe is what is called Adwaitam, and I have pointed out in my notes to Sivagnanabotham', how apt an analogy is furnished by vowels and consonants (</span><span style="font-family: Latha; font-size: 10pt;">உயிர்மெய்</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">) in addition to the two illustrations of soul and body, and eye and sun already referred to above. His nature can only be understood by understanding his relation to ourselves, c.f., "Of letters the letter 'A', I am." "Having pervaded the whole universe with a portion of myself, I exist." Gita.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> The soul is here called eternal or unchangeable as in its essence it remains the same, though its form and Karma in the mental and animal planes are continually changing. Lytton in his 'Strange Story' compares by a happy thought, the soul to a steady white central light and the mental (Anthakarana) and animal or sensory planes to ever changing red and blue lights surrounding the central light "As a lamp sheltered from wind, flickereth not" – Gita.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> Sakti is the Chit of the compound 'Satchidanandam', This Sakti is the power of Sat, 'That which exists' or its other aspects, in which aspect alone, God is manifest to the world and all created beings, and the relation of God to the world is made possible by this Power in its aspect of Intelligence, Chit or Gnanam or Grace or Love. In His aspect of Diving Force, or energy, Kriya Sakti, He acts on Maya or Mulaprakriti and starts creation or evolution.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> Hence God is called 'Gnana-Kriya-Swarupan'.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> He is great and subtle and hence called Brahman; He is all Love, and hence called Sivam; He is beneficent and hence called Sankar.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> Greatness and littleness are terms derived from quantity and hence relation to matter. He is the greatest of the great as he must envelope everything contained in space. He is least of the least as He must be present in the least conceivable atom. But the terms do not describe His real nature and hence liable to cause error in thought, and these are not correct terms to describe what is Pure intelligence and All Love. Hence the superiority of the terms Sivam and Sankar. In no other religions, have we specific terms naming God as All Love and All Benevolence.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> God is here shown as the author of Panchakrityas, Srishti, Sthiti, Samhara, Trobhava, and Anugraha. It is further implied that these functions are not different and carried on by different Beings and at different times. The first three involve mere change. Samhara; the fourth is temporary rest and the fifth is eternal rest in Bliss. The ordinary conception of the Trimurthis do not give a place for the last two functions of the supreme.</span></span></div>

He is a Rupi (one with form), an Arupi (formless) and He is a Ruparupi (one with and without form). To the wise, He is Pure Chit, Gnana or Intelligence.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> God is capable of all these forms which are assumed for the sake of man inasmuch as He is pure Intelligence. His form is not of matter, material. Form and Formless are often misunderstood as being equivalent to Personal and Impersonal. Matter is also formless; to deny to God that he can take form is to deny his omnipotence and limit his nature. The distinction is from our stand point. When we begin to identify him with anything we can know, from the lowest tatwa to our self (Atma), then this is personal and anthropomorphic. When you regard these merely as the symbol, there is no anthropomorphism. The distinction does not rest on your calling the Supreme 'Siva' or 'Sivam', 'He' or 'it'. God has form, is formless; He is he, she and it; He is personal and impersonal and yet none of these. To regard God as Satchidananda (Somaskanda, Sa, Uma, Skanda) is not a personal conception. This chit includes both Ichcha (will) and Kriya (force), but to compare and identify this intelligence and will &c., with our intelligence is anthropomorphic.</span></span></div>

<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 14pt;">7. Why is there human suffering if there is no darkness? If it is the soul's inherent quality (it cannot be removed); If God can remove it, the soul itself will perish.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">The first is in answer to the theory of regarding the darkness as non entity or <i>mitya</i> and the second to regarding it as an attribute. The relation between soul and Anava and Maya (note the distinction between these two) is not that of reality and illusion nor that of substance and attribute, nor that of substance and phenomena, nor that of cause and effect. The simple relation is that of subject and object both in their substantive and phenomenal aspects, but what this 'simple relation', is it is difficult to conceive and explain adequately, but it is called Adwaitha and the nearest analogy to the connection of mind and body (soul and mala) is that of vowel and consonant. The relation between substance and phenomena is not to be understood as between reality and illusion.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">Darkness can be removed slightly by a light, but can be removed completely by the bright light of the sun. The soul lying unconscious in the deep waters of Anava recovers its consciousness a little when by the action of the wind and wave (Karma and Maya), its head is raised above the waters a little and the cool breath passes over its face. But it has no hope till the Lordly Seaman comes and lifts it into His adamantine boat.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">Nobody could say that the inability of the eye to see in darkness is no inherent defect of the eye, and that it is all an illusion that the eye cannot see in darkness, which illusion will vanish when the eye fancies it can see in darkness. Then again you have to distinguish this defect of the eye with the surrounding darkness. That this is separate from the darkness is shown by the animals of the feline species being able to see in darkness. And except with the aid of the lamp or sun, your own eye cannot see nor drive away the darkness. This inability to see without the light is what distinguishes the freed Atma from the Paramatma and this inability is part of its nature. The cataract of the eye and the darkness stand in the place of ignorance or Avidya, which is not part of the inherent nature of the Atma and yet is not outside it. This ignorance or Anaa or Ahankar or Avidya has again to be distinguished from Maya, the material cause of the universe and the body which as they evolve bring out the soul's intelligence into play little by little, as the lamp helps the eye in darkness but fades away before the rising sun of the Supreme Intelligence.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> This chapter contains the cream of the Adwaita Siddhanta. The first step in the path is to attain that tranquil and equable state when both pleasure and pain induce neither liking nor hate (</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Latha;">வேண்டுதல்</span><span style="font-family: Mangal;"><br /> </span><span style="font-family: Latha;">வேண்டாமை</span><span style="font-family: Mangal;"><br /> </span><span style="font-family: Latha;">யிலாமை</span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">). The next step is to know the three Padarthas, the three postulates of existence (2<sup>nd</sup> Kural) and to understand their relation (3, 4 and 5 Kurals). Without this sense of discrimination and knowledge, your progress will only be impeded. The 4<sup>th</sup> Kural defines this Adwaita relation very clearly and by means of a parallel, Prana (consonant) and Prani (vowel) and Sarira and Sarirani. After we understood the nature of the three Padarthas, the conviction (not lip deep acknowledgement) must dawn in our minds that it is possible only for us to understand and progress with the Light of the Supreme Wisdom (6<sup>th</sup> Sutra). Following this conviction, we are enjoined to dedicate all our acts to the Lord, that is that in whatever we do, we should not consider that it is we that are actin (7<sup>th</sup> Sutra). When we have reached this step, we have reached the condition of jivanmukta and our bonds fall off. When the bonds fall of, the Atma regains its own self (Atma Darsan), but it does not merely stop there. It becomes covered and enveloped with the Supreme Ananda and Light; but if it should retain this condition, it should not hanker after seeing this Light (8<sup>th</sup> Kural) and when it so loses itself, its individuality ceases (</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Latha;">நான்</span><span style="font-family: Mangal;"><br /> </span><span style="font-family: Latha;">கெட்டவா</span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">), then it attains the Supreme state (</span><span style="font-family: Latha; font-size: 10pt;">சிவமானவா</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">) (9 and 10<sup>th</sup> Kurals). The figure in the 5<sup>th</sup> Kural should be properly understood. The crystal stands for the Soul. The reflection of the sun is it for God's presence in man; the sun for God, and the colors reflected in the crystal for the Pasa Upadhis, (Mala, Maya and Karma). In the absence of the sun, the crystal is dark and cannot reflect itself, nor the sun nor the colors. So in the Kevala condition, the Soul is ignorant of self, of the world and of God. After Sun-dwan, the clouds intervene between the mirror and the sun, the sun's light and the crystal's light is not perceived owing to the interposition, and what is seen well is the many colored cloud and this reflection is possible in the light of the sun only. So in the Sakala condition, the Soul regains consciousness of self and the Supreme self, but now and anon it forgets itself and God by the interposition of the Pasa (karma &c.,) which Karma &c., can be only actuated by the Sat (3<sup>rd</sup> Kural). At noon, in the fierce light of the Sun, the clouds are dissipated away, its reflection in the mirror is perfect, and the mirror also shines brightest and it is hardly distinguishable in the sun's light and reflections. In fact when you look at the mirror then, your sight is dazzled by the sun's reflections and you have got to turn away. So in the freed condition of the Soul (Suddha condition), the Pasa vanishes, the Soul is filled with the Supreme Bliss and Light, and the Soul is lost. Here he it noted that God, Sun, or clouds may be taken as substance, and the presence or reflection of God in man, the reflections in the mirror may be taken as Phenomenal. Now this simile which is used in the pages of the 'Light of the East' – is confounded in all sorts of ways with no effort at logical precision. In pages 4 to 8 of the 2<sup>nd</sup> volume, again in page 288 of the same volume, this illustration occurs. In the first place, Atma (God) is compared to the mirror before which there is neither darkness nor light nor any other. Mirror will be blue in the presence of the blue sky &c., and red before a red sky (</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Latha;">சார்ந்த்தன்</span><span style="font-family: Mangal;"><br /> </span><span style="font-family: Latha;">வண்ணமாதல்</span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">) Jiva and Saguna Brahm (Logos) are reflections in the mirror. If you take away an object from the mirror, the mirror is self-luminous. Take away mind, the Atma (Man, God) is self-luminous. Here be it noted, the mirror is God (Atma); and the same simile is given in paras 8 and 12 of Deussen's Vedanta of Sankara (Brahmavadin Series). In page 288, it is stated, Jiva is one with Brahm as the reflection of the sun in the mirror is one with the sun. Mirror be it noted, stands here for the Upadis (Sthula and Sukshma). In the former case, there is no place for the sun and in the latter there is nothing which takes the place of the mirror as in the former case, <i>i.e</i>., that which becomes one with whatever it becomes attached to. The confusion is apparent. Now the first proposition is "Atma is like a mirror." The wording is quite correct so far, but when we taken Atma for Atma (Soul) or Paramatma (God), then comes the difference. We read for Atma, Atma (Soul) alone. If Atma here means God, then the 2<sup>nd</sup> proposition that the "mirror is self-luminous, at least in the sense we can call the sun self-luminous? No doubt, the mirror has a sort of luminosity of its own but this is not to be compared to the luminosity of the sun. The luminosity of the mirror is so weak that darkness can cover it, when its luminosity ceases altogether; and it can again be brightened by sun's luminous rays. The mirror is light but it cannot impart its light, to other things. The sun is light of light and imparts its light to other objects. No amount of darkness can cover the sun, nor maya, God. The mirror is again to be distinguished from the reflections of the sun and you call it its reflection and not by any other name and you don't confound it at any time with the mirror or the clouds or blue sky reflected in the mirror. In the same way, the soul is light, intelligent (</span><span style="font-family: Latha; font-size: 10pt;">அறிவு</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">) and it is covered by darkness (Agnanam) and by light (God's gnanasakti). And God is described as Swaparaprakasam (self-luminous and illuming other objects). The soul (Atma) is called </span><span style="font-family: Latha; font-size: 10pt;">அறிவு</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">, and the God (Paramatma) is called </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Latha;">அறிவிக்கும்</span><span style="font-family: Mangal;"><br /> </span><span style="font-family: Latha;">அறிவு</span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">. The soul is the eye (</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Latha;">கண்</span><span style="font-family: Mangal;"><br /> </span><span style="font-family: Latha;">ஒளி</span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">), God is the sun (</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Latha;">கதிர்</span><span style="font-family: Mangal;"><br /> </span><span style="font-family: Latha;">ஒளி</span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">). By another figure, the soul is the Sarira (body) and God is Sarirani (life). Hence the importance of the phrase Soul of soul, Life of life and Light of light and Intelligence of intelligence. The 2<sup>nd</sup> word in each phrase stands in the position of our body to our mind. So the text "Ye are the temple of God" and the 4<sup>th</sup> Kural of this Chapter. Compare with this the following two extracts. Says Herebert Spencer, "Is it not just possible that there is a mode of being as much transcending intelligence and will as these transcend Mechanical Motion?" In this, intelligence and will stand for mind and Atma or soul, but we distinguish between Atma (Mind or Intelligence proper) and Antakarana, between what thinks and feels and wills and that which is conscious that it feels and wills and that which is conscious that it feels, wills and thinks; and the Being transcending Mind and mind will be the Paramatma. Consider again the following quotation from Brihadaranyaka: "God is to be seen, heard and contemplated and enjoyed in the soul. He is beyond the soul. His body is the soul. He penetrates into the recess of the soul." Nothing can be clearer than this text. This Soul and soul, this Atma and atma, this Self and self (The confusion in thought arises from the name which originally meant the human spirit being applied to the supreme spirit also), are the two birds which dwell in the tree (human body); these are the two which "enter into the heart, the excellent divine abode" and these are the two which are in the 'inside of' of the human eye. The confusion of using the same word to denote and connote two different things is really vicious and later writings and the present day systems have dropped such uses altogether, and the beginning of such change in nomenclature, and precision in the use of words is seen in the Gita, and Atma is distinguished from Paramatma, Purusha from Purushottama or Parama verse in this respect as it give all these names and the true definition of Sat as distinguished from Sat-asat.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> In Mrs. Annie Besant's translation, Maheshwara is translated, the great Ishwara, Paramatman as the supreme self, Parama Purusha as the Supreme Purusha; but the original words themselves will appeal to the Hindu mind with greater force and meaning and besides are more familiar. The usage of the words Self and self sanctioned by the great authority of Prof. Max Muller leads to worse confusion and Mrs. Besant carries this usage to a ludicrous extent. And none of the various translators of the Gita for instance agree in fixing the capitals to the proper word. For instance, in verse 24 of the same chapter, Mrs. Besant uses capitals for all the three self's, 'some by meditation behold the Self in the Self by the Self," Mr. Telang (Sacred books series) uses small letter in all the three places. Mr. M. N. Dutt uses capitals but modifies the two last by reading "in his (own) Self, by (his own) Self," which shows that the two last refer to the lower self. Telang interprets "See the self, i.e., the soul, in the self i.e., within themselves; by the self i.e., by the mind. Mr. Kuppuswami Aiyar (Githartha Deepika) interprets first self as Paramatma, second, as body, and third as manas, which nearly tallies with Telang's and both following Sankara apparently. That this interpretation is faulty can be easily shown. Could man see God (Paramatma) by his senses, manas or by his atma. At least we hold that we cannot see the Pathi (Paramatma) by our Pasagnan (Senses and Manas) nor by our Pasugnan (Atmagnan or Intelligence) but by Pathignan or Brahmagnan or Sivagnan or in the words of Sri Krishna, "Through my Greece, he obtains the imperishable and eternal seat", xviii-56 and our reading would accordingly be </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> "Behold the Self (Paramatma) in his own self (Atma) by the Self (by the aid of Paramatma)."</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"> To return to our simile of crystal and colors again: - In the first case, (mirror is Atma), which we may take is the more orthodox simile, besides the objections we have already urged, that the mirror is not self luminous, we deny that it is any great merit of the mirror that it should become dark when darkness surrounds it and be light when Light surrounds it, and that that it is not a very great defect, regard being had to the definition of Atma, as Swamprakasam. This is real Swamprakasam indeed! In the words of our Acharya "The name Intelligence ( ) is really appropriate to the soul (</span><span style="font-family: Latha; font-size: 10pt;">அறிவு</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">) is really appropriate to the soul which cannot understand except in conjunction with the senses!" and "Of what avail is that power which confuses in dreams, its experiences in the waking state?" Now when we posit only God on the one hand and maya on the other, then the reflection of color (maya) in the mirror (Atma-God) can only be called maya and not God; which conflicts with the second use of the simile, and a commonly received one too, that man is the reflection of God. There is no conscious life in man there is no God in him, man is only maya, matter or illusion or delusion. His sufferings is not a conscious suffering. The Ego does not suffer. It is maya that suffers. What reck we if the delusive maya suffers? Why take all this trouble to get rod of what? Maya to get rid of maya? Illusion of Illusions! Vain delusion! Why drink and be merry, as long as you live (Lokayatha ;) or put an end to your self as soon as possible (Buddhism). This very use of this simile by the Vedantist and the marked preference for the word 'Atma' which originally meant life, which Professor Deussen remarks was picked up from common life and even already shriveled to the <i>pronomen reflexivum</i> and which was slowly developed into the idea of supreme life, through the mere intensification of the subjective momentum it contains (rank Idealism), will show to any unprejudiced mind, how good is our contention that the God of this school is no God (Paramatma) but only man (atma), the being which is called satasat, or neuter (</span><span style="font-family: Latha; font-size: 10pt;">அலி</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">) owing to the fact of its nature that it becomes that to which it becomes attached (</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Latha;">சார்ந்ததன்</span><span style="font-family: Mangal;"><br /> </span><span style="font-family: Latha;">வண்ணமாகும்</span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">) like the mirror, becoming one with Pasa (</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Latha;">ஆணவத்தோடு</span><span style="font-family: Mangal;"><br /> </span><span style="font-family: Latha;">அத்துவித்துவிதமானபடி</span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">) when Pasa covers it, and becoming one with God (</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Latha;">மெய்ஞ்ஞானத்</span><span style="font-family: Mangal;"><br /> </span><span style="font-family: Latha;">தாணுவினோடு</span><span style="font-family: Mangal;"><br /> </span><span style="font-family: Latha;">அத்துவிதம்</span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">) when God covers it with His Light and Love, pasa or darkness being removed, which is diseased and suffering, and which seeks recovery from this disease and suffering, and which it requires the help of another to remove; otherwise it could remove it itself at any time, and which will be unmeaning unless it be true that it is the atma that really suffers and the disease and suffering is real.</span></span></div>

The scientists too have explored the visible regions with life-long labor and uniting energy with the despondent result that they are unable to say anything about the Invisible Power which permeates the universe. They admit that there is a difference between the dead particle and the living microbe; but they are unable to unveil the mystery of this living organism. The scientists do not halt at this conclusion, but have gone to the extent of torturing the texts out of the Holy Scriptures and affording interpretations which have thrown Theologians into the clouds.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> The inscrutable doctrines of God have been preached to the world by inspired writers through the spirit of God which the scientists say and regard as mere hallucinations, reverie, dream and figment. Those who have read the writings of the modern philosophers would confess what amount of calumny and blasphemy they have hurled on the Holy Bible and other sacred scriptures. The existence of those Divine men is ignored by them on the ground that they are inventions of human imaginations. These like theories have proceeded from the strong halo or imaginations which are no doubt the products of the mind and cannot be classified with products of faith. The mind in the sense I understand is only a maya or illusion and acts as a curtain in dividing the unseen from the seen. As long as the mind has the sovereignty over the inquiries of man, it will never know what is behind the curtain. Subdue the mind first and the senses are controlled. The curtain then is removed and mystery is brought to light. By mystery, it simply means what we call secret, - a thing for the time concealed but afterwards to be made known. It is the correlative term to Revelation.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> If the mind is not extinguished, however we may attempt through the arbitrary assumptions and vanities of the mind, we would not be able to catch a glimpse of the Invisible which the world designates, as Siva, in Hinduism, Jehovah, in Christianity and Allah in Mohammedanism etc. For having a conception of God, we must become dead to the world and have simple child like faith reigning supreme over the mind. If faith deepens and the tendencies of the mind come under its control, we are no more a slave to the world, but we become conscious of "something" which makes us happy and peaceful and reveal to us all that we have been anxious to know. The mysteries which the mind tries to unravel by metaphysical and philosophical researches and discoveries are revealed in the dead man but purely superconscious, viewing the world – not as two but one and inseparable – in advaita. The saving Light of God falls only upon the eye of faith. Then the spirit of God directly shines upon the soul like the meridian Sun and illumines and warms the entire spiritual nature of men. It bursts like a resistless flood into the heart, sweeps away ignorance and doubt, impurity and wickedness, and converts even the hard stony heart of a confirmed sinner into a garden smiling in all the luxuriance of spiritual harvests of faith, love and purity. Faith, hope and charity make up the spiritual man.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> No religions of the world have revealed to us explicitly the conception of God and soul and the universe like the Saiva Siddhanta system of philosophy, a profound study of which with a fervent faith in Sivam will clear all our doubts and weaknesses and would land us in the area of God's providence. It is no doubt an indigenous growth and there is much food for thought and meditation. I would refer my Hindu readers, if they care to know something of Siva, soul and maya, to Sivajnanapotam for philosophic study of the problems, and for practical knowledge to the study of the sacred utterances of the four Saiva Saints and Tayumanavar-padal. The hymns testify to us in solemn tone, the presence of Siva both in the mind of Jnanis and in the sacred shrines where He loves to reside. We have no other conclusive and heart rending evidence than the spiritual lives of these Saints, who have saved Saivism from decay and from the religious incursions of the Buddhists and Jains.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> When I happened to read the life and teachings of Buddha, I was surprised to notice the narrow interpretation foisted upon his ethical teachings and also the fact that he denied the existence of God. It is impossible to dissert fully upon the teachings of Buddha and his direct appeal to the Supreme Being under a metaphysical garb. Buddhist Philosophers are of opinion that there is no God and the present existence is only the result of actions done in former birth, and Karma is the cause of all sufferings and misery. A real understanding of the theory of Karma would throw ample light on the secret working of an unperceptible Power, to which we can give any name we choose. Buddhist philosophy is admitted to be the grandest and most practical course of ethics in the world. I would state briefly how Buddha received the light. No one would gainsay the fact that he must have been first initiated into the step of divine contemplation by having a concrete object before him or an abstract idea in his mind's eye. This he must have developed by deep meditation and which finally must have melted into his own being. In that state he would have been no other than a dead man with the world and his personality as one and undifferentiated. He then should have perceived the world in Him and Him in the world because the individual self or the lower self, I may say, had been annihilated to him. It cannot be annihilation but here it means the merging of the lower self in the Higher Self. Buddhists may deny God and they cannot controvert the fact that at least unconsciously they believe in Buddha who is supposed to be a divine incarnation. His mission was to emancipate mankind from the tyranny of sin, and the solution of the problem perplexed him and dominated his mind. That idea must have extended into his being and shaped him after that. He preached to the world no other thing than the remedy and his purpose was fulfilled. He spoke nothing of the Supreme, because the natural phenomena are present to us in brilliant colors, the manifestation of God and His Omnipotence. His teachings are pregnant with life and vigor and millions of people are moved to renounce the world. There is life and there is power in his teachings and how dare we assert that he preached atheism? By Nirvana it is meant, the freedom from egoism – And so on.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> As regards Karma the actions always presuppose an actor which nobody would deprecate in the face of all pervading witness. The actor or agent has life and courage and possesses an understanding which guides him in his struggle for attaining Nirvana. If that vitality, power or energy is only a dream and not a living truth and if individual consciousness does not survive the dissolution of the body, where is the evidence that the present man, if Buddha hood is not attainable, will reincarnate in a future birth – we cannot for a moment rest satisfied with the argument that there is a law or order. Law or order is not self existent, but presupposes a Divine Law-Giver. Both the law and law-giver are one and inseparable. If we say simply order, the argument falls to the ground.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> When I once attended a lecture by a learned Buddhist priest, I heard him saying boldly that there is no God and that the Buddhists are free-thinkers, I was really moved and I thought that I must give publicity to my faith in the existence of God. We do not in the least condemn Buddhism which is as grand, perfect a religion as any other in the world, but that we state our convictions which experience has disclosed to us. A Bengali philosopher told me the other day that no man in this world pretends himself to be an atheist, which is a mere contradiction in terms. In their flights of imaginations the atheists think so and at the agony of death, as Voltaire confessed, they confess their ignorance and folly.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> Jnanis and Sages of India who are the divine missionaries, have left behind them for our illumination, the truth of the existence of a Higher Being. The word has accepted in toto, the sublime teachings of the sages, and we, the Hindus of the Twentieth Century, are guided by their counsel in our aspirations after spiritual life, and we are convinced of the truths and feel within us the highest significance of their immortal sayings.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman'><span style='font-size:12pt'> After the dawn of the Christian Era there lived in South India many saints and yogis who had been engrossed in the affairs of the world as we are, and after having studied the Vedas (the eternal revelations) they perceived the instability of the body and this mundane life, and renouncing the world they led a highly spiritual life by which they were freed from the thralldom of the flesh. The yogis practiced cannot of the mind by the suppression of breath* according to the prescribed methods as laid down in the yoga sastras and were illumined. [* </span><span style='font-size:10pt'>The writer is obviously referring to one of the "exercise in godliness", known as the pranayama which has, however, nothing to do with the "suppression of breath" as people understand "breath" – <em>Ed. L.T</em></span><span style='font-size:12pt'>.] They too have revealed to us supernatural things, such as walking on the sea, floating in the air and so on, which to the modern scientists, would seem legendary and imaginary. The so called saints started with a firm faith in a Supreme Being whom they designated as Siva, Nataraja, Pillaiyar, etc., as suited their form of worship, and they developed their faith in God till they perceived that they are one with Siva in advaitic union – a state of perfection when father, mother, and brother were perceived with an eye of equality "balanced in pleasure and pain, self-reliant, to whom a lump of earth, a rock and gold, are alike, the same to be loved and unloved, firm, the same in censure and in praise, the same in honor and ignominy, the same to friend and foe, abandoning all understandings, they are said to have crossed over the qualities". They suffered not the mortal death but were absorbed in union with Siva with the mortal coil. During the state of divine ecstasy, they have given utterance to spontaneous out-pouring of verses which appeal to the burning heart of aspiring souls, and many thousands of such souls, both educated and the illiterate, are to be found strewn over the vast jungles and mountains of India. The divine saints have viewed the world as a manifestation of Siva in a visible shape (He is both visible and invisible) and this concrete symbolism is only a projection of the Maya. To them matter and spirit which we conceive as two different entities are one and inseparable. Consequently we read in their verses, the visible object such as rivers, mountains, stones and so on invested with the spirit of God, and they perceived with an eye of wisdom the Omnipresence of God in every particle and atom. Those who have the eyes, let them see. Every human being is endowed with a latent power which when worked out will reveal the Light within. Those who attempt to wade through the sea of misery like a sailor with a compass, will reach the Land where Eternal Peace and Happiness reign.<br /></span></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> For infants, that is to say, those who are babes in Christ in Pauline phraseology, first an object in the form of a picture should be placed before the eyes, and when the object has been seen, felt, and stamped upon the tablet of the mind, it is removed, and it now exists only in imagination as an ideal picture. Again by years of spiritual culture, the ideal too vanishes from the stronghold of the mind, i.e., in simple words it has been assimilated and made into his own being. The ideal is the God's picture which when it is brought into advaitic union, ceases to distinguish the real from the ideal. This is only a succinct explanation of a gradual spiritual unfoldment.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> In the West, Christianity has been presented to the people with an insufficiency of facts, that it failed to exercise any potent and healthy influence over the seekers after God; and it is no wonder that they have fallen into irreligious condition, the outcome of which has been doubt and skepticism. The cultured, practically speaking, have no religion, and they are either free thinkers or agnostics. Materialism has supplanted Spiritualism, and it looks as if in the next generation there will be no more talk about God and Christ. The gratification of the senses is considered to be the <em>summum bonum</em>. Europe cannot pursue the present policy of indifferentism and conventionalism for long; for Spiritualism will triumph over Materialism. No beaten brass, no iron walls can imprison the valiant spirit.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> In India, besides the peasants and working classes who are made of a divine stuff, the cultured few as a whole, without any exception, even those who have swallowed the Western ideas and notions, are profoundly religious and stoical in regard to the affairs of the world. The lovers of India are filled with the spirit of God, and are moved to espouse the Indian cause with fervor and enthusiasm, foregoing wealth and position, because they know that India is the cradle of spirituality. They care little for the conveniences of this life. Their love is universal. Has any nation maintained its national and spiritual impress, with so little of physical vitality and such lack of material resources? And the Indian people have survived all the misfortunes that overran this country, time out of mind, from the days of the Bhagavad-Gita, because they have possessed the spirit of God and been conscious of the Justice of the Divine Law. He is everywhere, and He is in each of us. Divorce God from our life, we become worse than beasts, and drag on a miserable existence.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> The spiritual man may suffer the stings and arrows of this life, but the love to God he accumulates would make him stronger and stronger, such that in this life he turns out to be a rock of virtue and righteousness. He would be filled with joy and hope, and the end will be one of peace and happiness. We every one of us, have witnessed the lives of good and religious men, and though we are far behind them, we do not try to live after them. God is not unjust. To the good He is good; To the wicked He is bad, and unless we change our life and see God in everything, we would not be able to emerge from this ocean of existence.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> It is because many of the educated young men have a rationalistic turn of mind and they question the existence of God, that I thought I could say something of what I think of God and this life. The Buddhists also have no faith in God, and I have touched upon the teachings of Buddha briefly, and I have pointed out the necessity of a Supreme Being to rule over us.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> In fine, I would humbly ask the reader to ponder over the following verses from Bhagavad-Gita.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> (1) "United to the Reason, purified, controlling the self by firmness, having abandoned sound and other objects of the senses, having laid aside passion and malice, (2) Dwelling in solitude, abstemious, speech and mind subdued, constantly fixed in meditation and yoga, taking refuge in dispassion, (3) Having cast aside egoism, violence, arrogance, desire, wrath, covetousness, selfless and peaceful – he is fit to become the Eternal". <br /></span></p><p style='text-align: right'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>R.

The third instalment of that History is now ready, and we have great pleasure in extracting the following review thereof from <em>Luzac's Oriental List and Book Review, (London), Vol. XX, Nos. 1 and 2, January and February, 1909</em>, from the interest it has for us on account of the mention it makes of Nilakantha's Bhashya of the Brahma sutras:-<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> "It will be welcome news to many students that Professor Paul Deussen has published the third section in Volume 1 of his monumental <em>Allgemeine Gexhichte der Philosophie</em>. This latest instalment, a ponderous tome of 728 pages, will greatly enhance its author's already high reputation for profound erudition and keen philosophical insight. It deals with the post Vedic philosophy of India, and falls into two main divisions, treating respectively of the philosophy of the epic period, and of the subsequently systematized schools. In the Mahabharata and the Law book of Manu, which he regards as the literary monuments of an "Epic Period" beginning about 500 B.C., he traces a vigorous though unsystematic course of speculative activity which formed a bridge from the idealism of the Upanishads to the systems of classical age, and specially to the mature Sankhya, while at the same time, it was a fertile breeding ground for the heretical Schools of which the great representatives are Jainism and Buddhism. The Sankhya and Yoga in particular appear to bear in the epos primarily the character, not of two distinct schools, but of two different methods for attaining the same object, the realization of the Self, in the case of the Sankhya by reflection upon the manifold phenomena of experience issuing from primal unity, and in the case of the Yoga by concentration of the mind upon the inward life. As an appendix to this first section is given an outline of Buddhism, with some account of the allied system of the Jains. Then follows the second and by far the longer portion of the volume of which the kernel is formed by (1) a translation of Madhava's account in his Sarva darsana sangraha of the nine heterodox schools, and (2) a fuller account of the Vaiseshika, Nyaya, Purva Mimamsa, Paniniya, Sankhya, Yoga, and Vedanta of Sankara, in which are included translation of Isvara Krishna's Sankhya Karika, the Yoga Sutra, and Sadananda's Vedanta sara. The whole work is concluded by an appendix giving a summary account of philosophical thought in China as represented by the teachings of Lao tse and Confucius and by Chinese Buddhism, and finally glancing at Japan, with its ancient Shinto and its developments of the Confucian and Buddhist doctrines that reached it through China. In a work of such vast scope as this there must inevitably be much that arouses criticism. We are not yet quite reconciled to Dr. Deussen's view that the classical Sankhya arose out of Upanishadic idealism "through accommodation to empirical consciousness," though we must admit its plausibility. We are disposed to question strongly the justice of his dictum that the Vedanta of Sankara "returned to the pure doctrine of the Upanishads" and "is still the creed of the dominant majority of all those Hindus who feel the need for a philosophical basis of their conception of the world" (page 2). The Professor speaks here more as a partisan than as a critic, ignoring the justifiable claims of some millions of e.g. Saivas and Ramanujiyas <em>We regret too that he has not studied at first hand the very interesting and valuable system of the Saiva Siddhantam which is the dominant creed of Southern India. Much might be said, and ought to be said, of the important developments of the Vedanta in the great Saiva Bhashya of Nilakantha and of the classical system of the Tamil Siddhantis</em>… But Dr. Deussen has given us so much material for study, and that of the first quality, that we can overlook these occasional irregularities of perspective, and gratefully acknowledge our enormous debt of gratitude to him."<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> We will personally review Prof. Deussen's work in a subsequent number, giving translations of such portions of the original as bear on the Siddhanta Philosophy of Nilakantha. We cannot say that the Professor is unacquainted with the Saiva Bhashya, as we have seen a reference to the Benares edition (published in <em>the Pandit</em>) of the same in his classical 'Das System des Vedanta.' Nilakantha was one of the greatest mystics of ancient India as can be readily seen from the following verse which we quote from his Prolegomena to the Saiva Bhashya, and this feature at once distinguishes him from other commentators who were for the most part nothing more than mere intellectual exponents:<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> <br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Srikanta had actually seen God and hence lays down his proposition, from the stand point of his Higher Experience, in such terse and clear terms. Appayya's gloss on this verse, though elaborate, will repay careful perusal for its spiritual insight and illumination. The great initiates and sanctified spirits who have contributed to the up building of the Saiva Siddhanta were men who were thoroughly established in God and were in actual fellowship with him, so much, so that their words come down to us with a claim which is altogether magisterial and impeccable in every sense. <br /></span></p><p style='text-align: right'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>V.

The Pandit is not such an unprogressive creature, as he is supposed to be, believing in milky seas and juicy oceans, but on the other hand Pandits are much more intelligent and shrewder than the average educated man turned out by our University, and they possess as much of general knowledge on scientific subjects, as any student of our English schools. Our old school Pandit (nearly 2 decades back) could also lecture to us on Human Physiology and Anatomy. In fact we know more than a dozen Pandits of our acquaintance who know English. Many of these belong to the very old school, and half a dozen of them are actually living the life of recluses, bachelors for life, devoted only to the cause of truth, religion and learning. We wish we could feel the joy our Benares Pandit felt on receipt of a rare Sanskrit manuscript we sent him. And our educated friend scorns to live laborious days in the cultivation of the sciences and the arts, and he talks of these expensive days and his reduplicated wants. But it is not to be supposed that we blame him either. He is merely the creature of his environments though departing far from the simple ideals of his ancestors. Taking the matter however out of purely personal considerations, such as the merit or demerit of one party or the other, we will turn our attention solely to the higher and truer aspects of the question. These who have read our first contributions on the subject Vol. I, Nos. I and 2, may remember that the question at one time was (more than 50 years back) whether English or the Vernaculars should be the medium of communicating <em>the best knowledge</em>, and whether use should be made of the existing vernacular literature itself or not for effecting this purpose. It was tacitly admitted and it is not denied now that there was much in the arts and sciences and civilizations of the West which had to be imparted to the Indians to make them fit to take their place in the scale of civilized nations; and we have summarized all the arguments on the subject in our two previous articles, and not one of the several correspondents to the <em>Mail</em> seems to be aware of such, though the name of Macaulay is frequently dragged in to conjure with. We will request our readers to go over them again, and in the light of Mr. Hodgson's views, the meaning of "The People's Governor," will not be far to seek. What His Excellency actually said was this. "In my humble opinion, education in the Madras Presidency has gone a little too fast, and has been a little too radical. I should personally have preferred, if I had the starting of an educational system in this country, to have built upon what already existed, rather than have destroyed and begun on a new foundation. I should have preferred to expand and improve Eastern ideas, and not to substitute for them in their entirety our own Western ideas." This was at Ernaculam. At the Maharajah's College for Girls at Trivandrum, His Excellency again observed that the aim of female education should be to implant upon existing social and family conditions the improvements and the enlightenment of the West and that there should be no attempt to destroy what already existed they should try to improve, brighten and perfect it. At page 43, we quoted from Mr. Hodgson to the same effect. "The best and purest means of effecting this <em>needed change</em> is not by ignoring their past life and past literature, which are inseparably intertwined and inter-reflected, <em>not by destroying the warp and woof of their national existence</em>, but by a process of preparation, conciliation and compromise by finding the means of closing that gulf which separates European and Indian affection and intellect – in the use of that literature, which I shall venture to say cannot be dispersed with, and that any other attempts to remove the woof and warp of Indian society would disorganize society and insure our own destruction." This is the highest phase of the question. And Mr. Hodgson spoke of a necessity arising 50 years hence, in case his suggestions were not acted upon, to retrace our steps. No doubt, the calamities he foretold have not yet occurred, but the evils that have arisen are already serious enough to demand the attention of the rulers and the ruled; and we are glad that the matter is attracting their attention. We have observed then also that we do not wish to retrace our present discussion, but simply to reconsider and remedy the defects. And His Excellency has now observed that what has been done cannot be undone we must accept things as they are, and <em>make the best of them</em> – and after all they are not so bad. The next best thing was, what has been attempted till now, a combination of European and Indian languages and literature, instead of attempting a purely vernacular medium. But the result has not justified the expectations. Not that the system itself is bad, but the course of study has been too much one-sided. All the inducements and encouragements for learning have been in favor of English and dead against the vernaculars. The vernacular subject was only one out of many in the school and college curricula. It was very easy for the students to secure a pass by devoting all their attention to the English subjects and very little to the optional language. It won't pay to learn the vernaculars at all. No honor was to be acquired by scholarship in the vernaculars. And need we wonder that the school boy who is very acute in these things has come to neglect his vernaculars to such at extent that to formed the subject of serious comment, even within the very walls of the Senate House? No less a person than the late Head of the Education Department of this Presidency, we mean the late lamented Mr. H. B. Grigg, in his Convocation address, delivered in 1892, in advising the assembled <em>alumni </em>to improve their vernaculars, observed. No one can feel more strongly that I do that, if the peoples of India with their numerous vernaculars, are ever to rise to a nobler life and greater wealth, the proportion of those who know English must be ten, nay twenty-fold of what it is, and be equally distributed among men and women; but no one more strongly believes that the great mass of people can never be regenerated until each vernacular is made a fitting vehicle for carrying on that knowledge." The late learned Rao Bahadur Prof. P. Ranganatha Mudaliar than whom we never than whom we never possessed a better instance of an Indian, cultured in the lore of the East and the West equally so well, conveyed them the same advice in the following words: "You have to cultivate the study of your mother-tongue, and to improve it to such an extent as to make it a fitting medium for the communication of Western ideas in Science and Philosophy. And time after time, every University Orator, has dinned into their heads to educate the masses, "to carry joy and gladness into a million homes, and become a potent means in helping on the regeneration of the country," "to carry that lamp of learning, of which we spoke, into the caves of superstition and ignorance, casting its beams into every cranny and crevice." And how is all this possible, except by possessing the power of expressing oneself idiomatically and vigorously in one's own tongue and interpreting through it, one's new knowledge and new ideas. We are also glad to add to this the opinion of an Ex-Governor of Madras, whose soundness of learning could at any rate never be questioned. He questioned the assembled graduates "Are you satisfied with what you are doing for your own literature? How many of you are seeking to obtain a large and scholarly knowledge of the Vernaculars of South India?" and he remarked that this University will not have done anything like its fair share of work till South India too has many Actors; and after instancing one or two cases of encouragement of native science and native learning by Indian Princes and nobles, he regretted that 'the great names of the land have not yet begun to take the place they should do, either in the accumulation or in the encouragement of learning.' And today, the opinions of gentlemen like the Hon'ble Dr. Duncan, the Hon'ble Mr. Justice Subramania Aiyar, Dewan Bahadur Raghunatha Row, the late lamented Rao Bahadur Sadhu Seshaya have taken the same trend; and the question arising as to the best ways of effecting these needed reforms and improvements, the first two have proposed, what we consider the least that can be done at present and the least costly to boot. Further it is actually sheer necessity that has pinched the learned Director to propose this. The old class of Pandits are slowly disappearing and there are none coming to take up their places. The vernacular literature; if they are to be formed and made intelligible to future generations require the unremitted attention and uniting devotion of the few who make it their study. We are inclined to think with our Ex-Chancellor and Governor that all their learning is not trash and we are inclined to repeat the questions "Trash, what is Trash" Who has a right to say that till they (old books) have been examined?" and this when we find that most of those who have joined in the discussion, we beg their pardon if we are wrong, are persons who cannot claim to be any authority on the vernacular literature. We have discussed the subject with a large number of cultured men, both European and Indian both inside and outside the Educational Department, and they all commend Dr. Duncan's proposal, only they think it to be a very small measure. We do not wish to lengthen the subject further, and now that Dr. Duncan has returned from home, may we hope that the Committee of Senate appointed to consider the proposal will soon meet, deliberate and mature a scheme with the least possible delay?</span></p></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2366072939560069495.post-4637459249051102872015-03-01T17:28:00.001+05:302015-03-01T17:28:26.668+05:30<span xmlns=''><p style='text-align: center'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:28pt'><strong>THIRUGNANA SAMBANDHAR.<br /></strong></span></p><p style='text-align: center'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>(<em>From the Indian Magazine and Review</em>)<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> The Sage whose name is probably dearest to the whole Tamil people is known by the title of Thiru Gnana Sambandhar. His reputed poetical effusions have all the authority and sanctity of Vedas. His history fills the Second Kandam of the 'Great Legendary History,' and is given in 1,256 quatrains or 5,000 lines.

The legends are very remarkable, and illustrate many phases of Hindu thought and feeling. His date is a matter of dispute; but it can hardly be later than the ninth century A.D. (See articles by Professor P. Sundaram Pillai in <em>Madras Christian College Magazine</em>, November 1891, &c.)<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> Thiru Gnana Sambandhar was born in Sri-Kari (Sheally), or Brahmapuram, a celebrated old city about thirty-eight miles north east of Kumbakonam, in the Tanjore district. His parents were of ancient Brahmanical race, rigid Saivites, holding aloof from every other worship and system, of which it seems there were at that time many actively propagated around them. The wonders of his history begin with his third year. Having come to earth direct from Siva's presence, though born a human child, he had vague reminiscences of his ancient home, and not unfrequently sobbed and wept with an instinctive longing for his divine Master. One day his human father went to the Temple to perform his duties as usual, and the child, with an unconscious yearning for his divine Father's presence, rushed after him, and could not be induced to return to the house. So the father perforce took him to the Temple, and left the little boy on the steps of the tank while he performed the daily ceremonies. When he had gone down into the water, the child, missing him, tottered back into the shrine sobbing and looking towards the image which was that of Siva, joined with Uma, seated on the sacred bull, and cried, 'O father! O mother!' The God heard the feeble words, came down to the child, and bade Uma give him some milk from her breast in a golden cup. This the goddess did, and – as she is the manifested energy of Sivan's transcendental Being – his Satti, fountain and source of action, grace and knowledge – mingled supernal wisdom with the draught; wiped away his tears, and with soothing words gave him the cup. The child drank of it, and became at once an inspired sage, absolutely and for ever consecrated to Siva, in consequence of which he received the epithet of <em>Aludaiya Pillaiyar</em> ('<em>the gods' own child</em>'), and <em>Thiru Gnana Sambandhar</em> ('he who is conjoined with divine wisdom'). As many legends show, Manicka Vachakar and Suntharara had their calls, being miraculously – each in a different manner – made the absolute servants of the god; and this was Sambandhar's call, like Samuel's! The legend points to a peculiar temperament and great precocity in the child, and has its foundation in this wonderful genius. Meanwhile, the father, having finished his ablutions, came up out of the tank, and perceived the child with radiant face, and lips bearing traces of the food of which he had partaken. 'Who has polluted you,' asked he, 'with impure food' and threatened to beat the child, who with sobs pointed up to where in the firmament he saw the receding form of the god, and for answer burst out into a sacred lyric, still extant, of praise. The father could not see the vision, but recognized its reality; and with ecstasies of gladness embraced the child, who continued to sing his wondrous hymn. From that time he lisped in numbers, and his father carried him as a prodigy from shrine to shrine while he sang, at each, appropriate stanzas. The fame of the miraculous endowments of the wonderful child spread throughout the whole country, and deputations were sent to ask him to visit each holy place. His songs are preserved, but the legends connected with their genuineness. The next great incident, however, took place on the day following this wonderful visitation, when as he was singing and beating time with his hand, by the grace of Siva, cymbals of gold inscribed with the mystic five letters were miraculously given into his hand, and with them he kept time to his song. Soon after this he set out on his first circuit, embracing all the neighboring towns, and on the way was met as he was borne on his father's shoulders, by a musician with a lute carried by a young maiden vocalist. The name is celebrated in these legends, though it is only an epithet. <em>Tiru Nila-Kanda-Perum-Pinar</em> ('Sivan's great minstrel'). From that time forth this musician, with the young songstress, accompanied him in all his journeying's, and we are to picture to ourselves an assembly in the Courts of each of hundreds of temples which he visited, consisting of the youthful bard (for at his fabled assumption he cannot have been more than twenty years of age), his father, a band of Brahmans in the full equipment of Siva devotees, with his minstrel playing on the lute, while the chorus is sung by the young maiden. These hymns and the music had a profound and permanent effect upon the Tamil people; though, as far as a foreigner can judge, his hymns are by no means of a high order – far inferior to those of Manicka Vachakar, who seems to have live about a century earlier.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> His second journey was to Chidambaram, where he was altogether overwhelmed by the place and its associations. He is said on one occasion to have beheld in mystic vision the three thousand devotees of sacred Tillai, in their transfigured state as the glorified hosts of Siva. From thence he went on his way, visiting the Siva shrines and towns on the bank of the river, and in this his second journey would not allow his father to carry him on his shoulder as before, but performed the journey of foot, surrounded by Brahmans, and singing his Master's praise, the result of which was that on one occasion at nightfall, weary and footsore, but promoting ever the five mystic syllables, he arrived at a village called <em>Marran Padi</em>, where he passed the night. Meanwhile Sivan had noted these sufferings of his sacred son, and in the night sent a vision to each one of the Brahmans in a neighboring temple, bidding them repair instantly to their shrine where they would find a litter inlaid with pearls, with an umbrella or canopy of state similarly adorned, and the conch shells on which the greatness of the Devotee might be sounded forth, and with all the other ornaments belonging to the stately progress of a Siva Devotee of the very highest order. These they were to convey to the young poet, and present them to him in the name of the God. The divinity appeared in vision to Gnana Sambandhar himself also, telling him to receive and use the litter and paraphernalia which would arrive in the morning. This may be looked upon as the inauguration of the child, then six or seven years old, as the great guru of the Siva faith. When for the first time he was borne aloft in state at Thiru-Aratturrai, there was the usual commotion on earth and in heaven; flowers were showered down, celestial music was heard, and proclamation was made that the flawless gem of the Siva faith had come; that he was the Sage who had been fed with the milk of wisdom by the goddess Uma, who fills the universe with her light and glory; and that his mission was to teach the Agamas and all divine knowledge in the Tamil tongue. It was this (on the whole successful) cultivation of the vernacular that gave to these poets of the Tamil Renaissance their great and permanent influence.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> He now returned home to Sri Kari from his second tour, and was met by the whole population of the city, and received with more than royal honors, while his mother <em>Bhagavati </em>(the blessed Lady) came and padi him reverence, to which he responded lovingly, and was received once more into his home. And now he was of the age to receive the investiture of the sacred cord, the second birth of the higher castes. On that occasion the ministering Brahmans uttered the mystic formula, 'We give thee authority over the four Vedas,' and were proceeding to reveal to him the sacred mysteries; but he opened his mouth and unprompted chanted forth the text of the Vedas with their subsidiary sciences, and every species of mystical and sacred lore. They bowed in astonished joy before the inspired youth, who graciously quieted their excitement, and sang some sacred verses of which we shall give an abstract in the sequel.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> Next comes a renowned visitation paid him by one whose history is given in the same Purana, and who is scarcely less famous than our hero: Thiru Navukkarachu Nayanar, or, as he is generally called, <em>Appar Murtti</em>. Appa Murti must, at that time, have been in the prime of life, with an established reputation; but the deference he ever, without a tough of jealousy, paid to his boyish teacher, is very remarkable. He now came attracted by the reputation of the youthful prodigy, and soon afterwards they set out together on a visitation which was intended to include all the Siva shrines in the Tamil country. On this occasion he begged his father to remain at home, to which he replied, 'You are my only and most precious son, and for some days yet I need not separate from you' – and so accompanied them. And, now, in a certain town on the northern bank of the River Kaveri, there was a yeoman whose daughter was afflicted by what seems to be described as demoniac possession. They brought her to the shrine and left her there, while the father hastened to throw himself at the feet of the Saint, imploring assistance. Our hero descended from his litter, raised the suppliant from the ground, went into the temple, walked round it, entered the shrine, saw the maiden lying there, and was told of her grievous suffering. Full of compassion, he worshipped the God, and, in a very touching, simple hymn, implored him to heal the child. Immediately the maiden's disease was removed, and she, arising, clang to her father's side. Great was their gladness. The youthful Saint now proceeded to the regions south of the Kaveri. The rains were over, and it was the time of heavy dews, while fever and ague were rife. His attendants came and represented this to him. He immediately sang a sacred hymn, and the fever left the whole country side. The sage then went southward.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> During the same year, he went through a large number of villages adjacent to the banks of the Kaveri, and in the month of June and July, when the temperature is often terrifically hot, the youthful devotee suffered exceedingly, and the legend relates that Siva, feeling pity for his beloved son, sent down from Mount Kailas a canopy of pearls, which was brought by a heavenly messenger with the words, 'The Lord hath sent this unto thee.' The youthful Saint fell on his face and adored, while his attendants bore over him the canopy thus miraculously supplied, and, under the refreshing shade, he went on his way to play his homage at the shrine in the neighborhood. The poet says the sacred teacher henceforth abode happily under the shadow of the sacred feet of the Lord of all the worlds.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> The next incident is connected with his father, who so far had accompanied him, and now wished to return to offer a solemn sacrifice in Sri Kari, for which a large sum of money was needed. Gnana Sambandhar, as was his wont, hastened to the temple, and there sang one of his most renowned hymns. It begins: -<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'> <span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>'In trouble and in weakness, and when pain<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> Afflicts, I seek thy feet, and worship there.'<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> <br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>The result was that a divine messenger arrives with what seems to have been a golden chain of many links, which renewed itself as the links were broken off – and was thus an unfailing treasure, like the widow's cruise of oil. This he gave to his father, bidding him first offer a sumptuous sacrifice to Siva, and then to supply the needs of all the devout inhabitants of Sr Kavi. The father went home rejoicing, and the young devotee proceeded on his way, worshipping and singing sacred hymns, to the accompaniment of the minstrel's lute, at every shrine. These hymns are rhythmical praises of the God, under all the name and with all the attributes and forms recognized in the Saiva books; but they rarely contain anything worthy of special notice. The next incident of interest is connected with the town of <em>Dharmapuram</em>, where his minstrel's mother and other relatives dwelt. There, surrounded by his admiring kindered, the minstrel played his choicest tunes, and sang over all the lyrics that his master had composed, while they exclaimed that his melody would for ever sound throughout the world. Now the Tamil word that signifies 'melody' bears also, the signification of renown." Hearing their praises, and fearing to appropriate to himself the glory that belonged only to his youthful master and to the god, he went and threw himself at the poet's feet, begging him to compose some verses which should be so sublime that it would be out of his power to fit them with an accompaniment. The poet instantly sang a lyric in very irregular metre, to which when the minstrel tried to play an accompaniment he failed utterly, and was so overwhelmed with humiliation that he was about to break his lute on the ground; but Sambandhar took the lute and said to him; 'O Brahman, why should'st thou break thy lute? Can the praises of Siva the Supreme, and of Parvathi the mother, be measured by the strings of this instrument? Can the greatness of their glory be measure by the execution of thy hand? Take thy lute, and play thy simple melodies with contended mind, praising as best thou art able.' The humbled minstrel took his lute, bowed his head, and retired.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> Perhaps he needed a lesson in that sweet unconscious humility that seemed to be not the least of the youthful devotee's admirable qualities. And now the poet is brought into closer connexion with several of the Siva devotees, of whom there seems to have been a succession from the time of Manicka Vachakar. These all seem to have regarded him with the profoundest reverence and affection. It is a sweet picture – the child among the doctors. We have seen it elsewhere!<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Almost this time he is said to have raised a Brahman merchant from the dead. One day, came there to meet him a devotee called Muruga Nayagar, who was renowned for his devotion to the temples of Siva, which he always supplied with four species of flowers – those from trees, those from creepers, those from the water, and those from the ground – weaving them into choice garlands. (The Siva system affords scope for men of all tastes in the performance of their devotions!). He then came to Arur, where the great teacher, Appa Murtti, again joined him, and they made a prolonged tour, and were met on the way by another devotee – whose history we may recount by and by – whose specialty it was to spend all his substances in providing incense for Siva's altars.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>At this time a deputation from home arrived, imploring him to return and give his own people the advantage of his presence. He hesitated, longing to behold his master's glory, as he had seen it in that much loved shrine; but the god appeared to him in a dream, coming from Kailasam in a heavenly chariot, and showed him all his glory as he had seen it when a little child. The next morning he dismissed the messengers, telling them that the god revealed his glory everywhere. <br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman'><span style='font-size:12pt'>Now came a famine, and the whole country was desolate. But the god appeared to Sambandhar and Appa Murti, bidding them go to the temple – the one to the eastern altar, the other to the western each day – when they would find coins sufficient for the day. They did this, and established themselves in two separate monasteries in the east and west and fed daily all that came to them. At length the rains fell, the fields were covered with crops, and all living things again rejoiced! And now comes the famous episode of the gates of Vetharanyam.* [* </span><span style='font-size:10pt'>A famous shrine six miles from Point Kalimere</span><span style='font-size:12pt'>.] These temple gates had been closed so that none could open them, from the time that in the most ancient days the last verse of the Vedas had been sung there. None had ever succeeded in opening them. Appa Murti now sang a verse which had the effect of opening them, and afterwards Sambandhar sang another which shut them. So from that time forward there verses have always been sung for the opening and shutting of the principal gates of this temple.<br /></span></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>We come now to something nearer to authentic history.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman'><span style='font-size:12pt'>While the two Siva apostles remained in Vetharanyam, an embassy arrived from Madura.* [*</span><span style='font-size:10pt'>This forms the theme of the 62<sup>nd</sup> and 63<sup>rd</sup> 'Sacred Sports,' where our Saint is not however mentioned by name</span><span style='font-size:12pt'>.] There the Jains had obtained absolute away. The king known in history at first as Kun Pandiyan, or the Humpbacked, and afterwards as Suntharam (the beautiful, had become a convert to that system; and, as the legend says, 'like king, like people,' so the country was overrun with devotees, described as men with heads from which every hair had been plucked, whose mouths were defiled, who carried an eating vessel in a noose, who wore a bunch of peacock feathers in their hands, whose garment was a mat, whose bodies like their minds, were impure, who ate their food standing, and whose loins were ungirt. This is an enemy's picture of them, but probably not quite unfaithful. But the apostate King's wife was a daughter of the Sora king, who remained faithful to her ancestral religion. Her name was Mangaikkarasi, 'the Queen of Women.' She is canonized as a Siva saint. The prime minister of the kingdom also was a Saiva saint, whose name was 'The Bond of the Clan' (Kula-sirraiyar). These two secretly performed the rites of the Saiva faith and anxious for the reconversion of the kingdom, dispatched trustworthy messengers, unknown to the King, to invite Sambandhar to visit their city.<br /></span></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>The youthful Saint received the envoys courteously, and at once determined to accompany them; but Appa Murti represented the danger of the expedition, and tried to dissuade his colleague from undertaking it. Sambandhar answered him by a poem which so impressed him that he declared his intention of accompanying the saint. 'No,' said Sambandhar, 'your province is in Sora land. Here remain, while I am called to a mission in the Pandian kingdom.' So Appa Murtti unwillingly remained behind, and the young apostle with the pompous paraphernalia of a Siva <em>guru</em>, chanting ever the mystic five syllables, set out on his progress – the greatest expedition of his life – to Madura. The heretics on all their eight hills were terrified by evil omens and frightful dreams, and came together to Madura to tell one another of the dread that overwhelmed them. At the approach of him whose name was afterwards to be renowned as destroyer of Jains, they warned the Kind and, prepared for the contest. The Queen and the prime minister on the other hand, were cheered with good omens and encouraging dreams, and foreseeing the destruction of the heretics and the revival of the true faith, were exceedingly glad. Hearing of the Saint's approach, the prime minister went forth to meet him, and conducted him to the great but now neglected shrine of Siva, where the Queen awaited his arrival. He entered with an amazing pomp of attending devotees, while the sacred shells resounded his praises, and proclaimed that the destroyer of heresies had arrived. By the care of the Queen he was accommodated with a fitting pavilion; and thence went forth to survey the city and all its edifices once so sacred, and at eventide returned in state to his pavilion.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman'><span style='font-size:12pt'>The Jain devotees could endure it no longer, but presented themselves before the King with sad countenances. 'Why are you sad?' said he, 'Your majesty, this day into your royal city of Madura the Saiva Brahmans have come.' 'So have I heard,' replied he, 'but wherefore have they come?' 'Your majesty, a Brahman child from Sri Kari in the Sora land, reputed to have received divine wisdom, has arrived, borne aloft in a litter inlaid with pearls, with is attendant devotees, to conquer us in argument; and we are resolved by our magic incantations to burn him in his pavilion. He shall either flee or be consumed.' 'So do,' said the bewildered King, and, in great perturbation, sought his chamber. The Queen saw his distress, inquired its cause, and was told the whole affair. She replied: 'Lord of my life, be not angry; if both parties hold a disputation, we will listen, and join ourselves, as is fitting, to the conquering side.' The King assented, and his excitement was calmed. The Jain devotees were not idle. By their machinations the Saint's pavilion was set on fire. But can any evil charms prevail against those who devoutly chant the mystic 'five syllables?' The fire refused to burn. The Jains, confounded and in despair, now set fire to the building on all sides. Sambandhar, of course, was unharmed by the flames, which he quenched with sacred verses but thinking that the king was the author of the treachery, he prayed and sent a burning plague into the frame of the king, who was soon in extreme agony from a consuming fever. The Queen and prime minister hastened to him, the court physicians came and administered remedies, but the fever increased until the Kind lay at the point of death. The Jain devotees now gathered around, stroked the patient, with their peacock feathers, muttered charms, and exhausted all their arts; but the holy water they sprinkled fell upon the agonized patient as flames of fire, till he cried, 'All of you bygone,' and fell senseless. The prime minister, remembering that the Lord Siva had in the old time burnt the three towns of the guilty Asurar, and had therefore doubtless in like manner sent this fever to avenge his servant, caused the holy strangers to be sent for; and when the name of Sambandhar was pronounced in the King's ear, his faintness left him and thinking by a holy inspiration that the Saint alone could relieve his sufferings, he exclaimed, 'Call the sacred <em>Gnana Sambandhar</em> hither, I will become the adherent of him who shall heal my disease' The Queen was overjoyed, and with all her ladies, attended by the prime minister and nobles, repaired to the Saint's lodging, and implored him to come to their aid, telling him the whole story. Sambandhar came forth and saying, I must first know the will of the God,' repaired to the shrine of <em>Chokkanathar</em>,* [* </span><span style='font-size:10pt'>Siva's name as worshipped in the Madura temple</span><span style='font-size:12pt'>.] and singing a sacred lyric, received permission to go forth to silence and destroy the heretics and glorify the name of Siva. Then, ascending his litter with solemn pomp, the loud voices of the heralds sounding out, he proceeded towards the palace, while the Queen in her royal chariot came behind and the faithful prime minister led the way to the presence of the afflicted King. The Jains also came, and the king repeated his resolve that he would become the adherent of the party that healed him. It was now arranged that the Jains should take one side of the Kind, and Sambandhar the other, and exert their skill to quench the fire of the fever. It is recorded that at this juncture the Queen's faith for a moment failed her, and she exclaimed. 'The Saint is but a child, these Jains are an innumerable company; let us leave to God Himself the healing of the King! But the King persisted in the experiment, and the Saint replied: 'Great Queen, fear not because I am but a child; while the God of Madura's shrine lives, I shall not fall beneath the power of these heretics.' And he added a lyric addressed to her, which is both simple and touching.<br /></span></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman'><span style='font-size:12pt'>The Buddhists took the left side; but the more diligently they manipulated, the more fiercely raged the fever, till the agonized King turned to the Saint, who sang his celebrated 'Ashes Song,' † [† </span><span style='font-size:10pt'>A translation is given, but it merits are not very manifest</span><span style='font-size:12pt'>.] and, with his sacred hand, stroked the King's right side, which at once became cool as the sacred waters of the temple. The Jains now stood aloof, leaving the King's left side still suffering, when the Saint, at the King's desire, sprinkled it also with the sacred ashes – and the King was entirely healed, rose up from his couch, and, with worshipping hands lifted above his head, prostrated himself, crying, 'In the presence of these Jains, saved by the grace of Thiru Gnana Sambandhar, I bow at his sacred feet.' But the Jain <em>gurus </em>required that he should overcome them in argument also, and it was resolved, at their request, that their respective systems should be tested by fire and by water. Each party threw into the fire a palm leaf scroll, inscribed with the assertion of the fundamental tenet of its faith. The Jain scroll was at once consumed to ashes; the Saiva scroll came forth – a fresh green leaf, with every letter clearer than before. They then repaired to the banks of the Vaigai, and threw their scrolls into the stream. The Jain scroll was carried away so swiftly towards the sea that they were unable to recover it, while the Saint's leaf swam up against the stream, cutting through the water, and when the King, at length convinced, reiterated the words inscribed on it – </span><span style='font-size:16pt'>S</span><span style='font-size:12pt'>IVAN IS SUPREME' – his hump disappeared, and he was afterwards known as Sundara Pandian (<em>the beautiful Pandi</em>). And now came the punishment of the Jains. They had contrived mischief against the Saint, had been the cause of the King's suffering, and now stood forth convicted impostors. They were sentenced to be impaled, and, through the zeal of the faithful prime minister, 8,000 of them suffered that terrible punishment. Some such slaughter on a very large scale doubtless took place, and the fact is still commemorated in Madura. The result of all this was, that the King and all his people returned to the Saiva faith; and the youthful Saint departed from the city amidst the acclamations of the multitude. Before he left Madura, his father arrived from Sri Kari, to witness and share his son's triumph. He now made a progress through the South, as far as Rameswaram. As he was returning, the floods had so risen on one occasion that it seemed impossible for him to cross, but he fearlessly embarked, with all his attendants, in the boat, which by the power of his word carried them safely across. Before he finally left the southern land, he received a promise from the King that he would ever uphold and maintain the Saiva faith. In one of his journeys he came to Tellicherry, and there encountered some Jains (or, it may be Buddhists), when his attendants, with shell and trumpet and loud acclamations, proclaimed that the lion like destroyer of heresy was at hand. The leader of the heretics, who was a renowned scholar, hearing this proclamation, was exceedingly wrath, and made his way into the presence of the Saint, exclaiming: 'You should first overcome us in argument, and then make a proclamation in this sort.' A great conflict arose, in the midst of which the legend says that, at the recitation of the mystic 'Five Syllables,' the head of the opposing champion fell from his body, and his adherents fled, after which the Saint sent for their other leaders and held a dispute with them, in the course of which they were convinced, acknowledged the falsity of their system, and became good devotees of Siva. The agent in this discussion is represented to have been one of the writers or transcribers of the Saint's verses. He now returned and was met on his way by his old friend and companion, Appa Murtti, who hearing of his approach, mingled with the throng, and humbly assisted in bearing the litter. When the procession neared the village, Sambandhar inquired where Appa Murtti was, upon which the latter Saint came forth, and fell at his feet. Instantly alighting from his litter, Sambandhar embraced him, and with great joy they entered the shrine together – the other telling how he had gone from village to village in the Tondai land. From thence the youthful Saint went home to Sri Kari, but did not remain there long. His next expedition was a tour throughout the Tondai land. There a devotee met him who complained that all the Palmyra trees he planted were sterile, and that the heretics around ridiculed him as a faithful worshipper of Siva; whereupon, Sambandhar sang a lyric, which had the effect of converting the Palmyra forest into a fruitful one. In this expedition he visited the neighborhood of Karaikal; but it is said that, fearing to plant his feet where the Lady of Karaikal had formerly walked on her head, he turned aside, and passed on to Kalastri – renowned in the history of Kannappa Nayanar – and worshipped before the shrine where that worthy is installed on the right hand of the Divinity whom he so honored and loved. The histories of those two have bene given (See <em>Indian</em><br /> <em>Magazine and Review</em> May 1895 and Jan 1896). They evidently belonged to a generation or two preceding this period. He then returned to Mylapore, now St. Thome, the traditional home of several great poets. There dwelt at that time a wealthy merchant called Siva-necar (<em>Friend</em><br /> <em>of Siva</em>) who had heard much of the Sage, and might and day was occupied in his praises. This wealthy person had but one child, a daughter of incomparable beauty, then just twelve years old, who had been given to him as the reward of much prayer and devotion. The father was so full of admiration for the Saint that he had often declared to his family that he himself, his daughter, and his illimitable wealth all belonged to the Saint, and that to give her in marriage to him was the great desire of his soul. Meanwhile, at the very time when the Saint was in Kalastri, a venomous serpent bit the poor girl as she was disporting herself in the flower garden near her chamber. Physicians in vain tried to cure her and the beautiful Pum-Pavai (<em>Flower-maiden</em>) died. The father at first inconsolable flung himself upon her corpse, but recollecting that by his vow she belonged to the sacred servant of the god, he took a strange idea into his head. He cremated her body, put the ashes into an earthen pot which he placed in her chamber, covered with her rich garments and jewels, and sprinkled with perfumes, and awaited there the expected visit of the Saint. His neighbors – friends and foes, Saivas and heretics – waited and wondered. When the Saint at length arrived at the neighboring shrine of Tiruvottiyur, the bereaved father repaired thither, fell at his feet, and told him the whole story. Sambandhar was deeply affected, and promised at once to visit his town. The father caused a covered way to be constructed between the two towns, strewing the entire way with garments and adorning the whole with choice flowers and jewels. The Saint worshipped at the shrine, and then, surrounded with his company of devotees, in his usual state, arrived at Mylapore, and bade the father bring the vessel containing the maiden's ashes to the door of the temple, which was a very renowned one. He then, regarding the urn, addressed the maiden as follows: 'If it be true, O Pum-Pavai, that they who have served Siva faithfully behold his presence in bliss, return thou now and make thyself visible to the children of earth.' He then sang one of his most beautiful lyrics, the burden of each verse of which is: 'Hast thou gone, O Pum-Pavai, so that thou seest the solemn feast of the God no more?' In the ten verses of which it consists, all the great festivals of the temple are cleverly interwoven. Like many other of these songs, if translated it would requires so much illustration to make it intelligible to English readers that I refrain from attempting it here. It is a touching elegy, but contains no intimation of any miraculous occurrence. It is now said, however, that on the recitation of the first verse the dust in the vessel gathered itself together; at the second it assumed the form of the maiden; during the next eight verses, it grew to the stature of a maiden of twelve years old, but still remained concealed in its enclosure. The Saint then added the closing the verse, when she thrust her hand forth, broke the vessel, and arose. There was the usual assemblage of gods and heavenly beings, with showering down of flowers, and strains of celestial music, while the faithful devotees of Sivan shouted aloud their joy, and Buddhists fled discomfited. The father took her by the hand, and, with her, bowed before Siva and before the Saint, and said to him: "I give thee in marriage her whom thou hast brought back to life.' Nay, said the Saint, 'that cannot be; since she has been restored to life by instrumentality she is my daughter, and can never be my wife.' The Father sadly acquiesced, and the maiden was reconducted to her virgin home, where the story says 'she gained the heaven of Siva,' but the time and manner of her death are not given.<br /></span></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>He now returned for the last time to Chidambaram, where his father met him with a troop of Brahmans from Sri Kari with whom he returned thither. There was a great gathering there of Saiva Saints of all orders, to whom the father said, 'It is now the time prescribed in the law for the marriage of my son.' To which they assented, but the Saint steadfastly refused to be bound by any earthly bod. It was then represented to him that it was his duty to submit to the ordinances of his caste, at least as an example to others, and he gave way. A Brahman in the neighboring town of Nallur, had a daughter whom with delight he consented to unite in marriage to the Saint. The arrangements for the marriage were made at once, and at the appointed auspicious time he proceeded in triumphant state as a bridegroom to the temple in Nallur, which ever afterwards bore the name of <em>Tiru-manam</em> (The Sacred Wedding). It would be wearisome to recount the glories of the scene. A Saint called Tiru-nila-nakka-nayanar performed the ceremony, and the young bridegroom tied the <em>tali</em>, took his bride's hand, performed every prescribed ceremony, and entered with her into the innermost shrine where he sang his last song.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>He then, before the image, addressed his assembled family and Saints in these words: 'Enter ye with me into this incomparable splendor, that the sorrows of mundane existence ye may know no more.' Obedient to his command they passed onwards – the Saints, the father, the relatives, with wives and kindered, all those who had borne his litter and swelled the pomp of his progresses, men of all the six Saiva sects, the Saivite of the Vedic rule, the Saivite of the perfect school, all of them – into the splendor of the infinite blessedness; and closing the procession, the Saint and his bride were lost to mortal sight. Those who had beheld the glorious ascension from afar returned to their homes sorrowing that they were left behind.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: right'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman'><span style='font-size:16pt'>G</span><span style='font-size:12pt'>. </span><span style='font-size:16pt'>U</span><span style='font-size:12pt'>. </span><span style='font-size:16pt'>P</span><span style='font-size:12pt'>OPE, </span><span style='font-size:10pt'>M.

But the chief authorities of the Virasaivas are the celebrated twenty-eight Sivagamas. The twenty-eight Sivagamas are: - (1) Kamikagama, (2) Yogajagama, (3) Chintyagama, (4) Karanagama, (5) Ajitagama, (6) Diptagama, (7) Sukshamagama, (8) Sahasragama, (9) Amsumadagama, (10) Suprabhodagama, (11) Vijayagama, (12) Visvesagama, (16) Rauravagama, (17) Makutagama, (18) Vimalagama, (19) Chendrajnanagama, (20) Bimbagama, (21) Prodgitagama, (22) Lalitagama, (23) Siddhagama, (24) Santagama, (25) Sarvoktagama, (26) Paramesvaragama, (27) Kiranagama and (28) Vatulagama. In these twenty-eight Sivagamas, the Purva or anterior portions relate to other Saivas and the uttara or ulterior portion relate to other Saivas and the uttara or ulterior portion relate to Virasaivas. Where the Ashtavarana (the eight environments), the Panchachara (the five religious observances) and the Shatsthala (the six steps to Salvation) are treated in the said twenty-eight Sivagamas, it is to be understood that those portions relate to Virasaiva religion Yogajagama states: -<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> <br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>To show that the twenty-eight Sivagamas are the special authorities of the Virasaiva (of course, in common with the Suddha-Saivas of the Tamil country), one of the Agamas states: -<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> <br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>There is a Bhashya of the Virasaivas on the Brahmasutras by Srikarasivacharya on the Shatsthala side the existence of which was not known by a portion of the Virasaivas for some time. An attempt is now made to publish it. The Brahmasutra Bhashya by Srikantha Sivacharya was hitherto considered as the exclusive Virasaiva Bhashya. But now the Suddhasaivas of the Tamil country claim it as their Bhashya, as it does not treat of Shatsthala which is the distinctive tenet of the Virasaivas. But Nilakanthanaganathacharya has written a treatise on the Bhashya of Srikanthasivacharya which is entitled Kriyasara in which Lingadharana and other subjects kindered with Virasaiva tenet are treated which shows that Srikantha Bhashya is a Virasaiva Bhashya. But whatever this may be, as the exclusive worship of Siva is the peculiar characteristic of the Virasaivas and as Srikantha Bhashya treats of the superiority of God Siva to the exclusion of other deities, the said Bhashya will have to be considered as the Virasaiva Bhashya. But I learn that the Suddhasaivas of the Tamil country are as rigid as the Virasaivas of the Kanarese country in worshipping one God Siva to the exclusion of other gods. If this be so, then Srikantha Bhashya becomes the common property of both the Suddhasaivas of the Tamil country and the Virasaivas of the Kanarese country. The Virasaivas have also what are called Bhashya which are not Bhashyas on Brahmasutras like the Srikara and Srikantha Bhashya. They are termed Bhashya, because they are discourses on various Virasaiva subjects. They are the following: - Somanatha Bhashya or Basavarajiya, Amritesvara Bhashya, Sarvesvara Bhashya, Ganabhashyaratnamala and other works. Besides these, there are in Kannada, a class of literature called Vachanas. These are existing and enthusiastic lectures delivered by Basavesvara of Kalyan and his innumerable disciples to the multitude. These vachanas treat of Shatsthala philosophy in pithy, concise and fiery style based on the twenty-eight. These vachanas are unlimited. The vachanas of Prabhudevaru himself is stated to be twice eighty crores in number. This is the number given by many authors. Extracts from these "vachanas" are quoted in many subsequent works. The subsequent works state that these "vachanas" have always been recited by Acharyas to the Bhaktas in every time from the time of Basavesvara. Besides these "Vachanas", there have been innumerable works from the early times to the present day which have been written in classic style on the subject of Virasaiva religion as well as on other matters. These have been written in Sanskrit, Kannada and Telugu by Virasaiva authors. The names of the authors and their works together with other details will be give further on in chronological order under a separate number. Fearing that this essay will become lengthy, I have stopped here. My appeal to the Virasaivas is that vast as the Virasaiva literature is, they should feel proud of it and try to do something for its preservation and development.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> <em>The system of Lingadharana</em>: - The distinctive characteristic of the Virasaiva religion is the wearing of Linga on the body, i.e., Lingadharana. Is this system quite in accordance with Vedas, Upanishads, Smritis, Puranas and other orthodox authorities? According to Virasaivas, Lingadharana is Vedic, Upanishadic, Smritic, Puranic and Tantric. All the Virasaivic works quote passages from the Vedas &c., in support of the system of Lingadharana. One of the chief authorities which deals with the subject of Lingadharana is the celebrated Lingadharanachandrika. This work is about 500 years old. Its author is Nandivarasivayogi. In this work, it is learnedly shown that a number of passages in Vedas and Upanishads explain Lingadharana and that there are innumerable passages in Puranas which describe the tenet of Lingadharana. Extracts from the celebrated twenty-eight Sivagamas which are the special authorities of the Virasaivas are also given in this work in support of the system of Lingadharana. This work is now printed in Devanagiri character with the commentary of Sri Sivakumarasarma Pandit of Benares. The printing has been done at the instance of Sri Rajesvara Sivayogi of Visvaradhya Mutt at Benares. The whole Virasaiva world is deeply indebted to this Sivayogi for the great service he did to the Virasaiva religion. I quote some passages which are given in the said Lingadharanachandrika in support of Lingadharana, for the information of the readers of the Light of Truth. The passage in Rig-Veda which is said to import Lingadharana is: - <br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> <br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> The passages in Yajurveda which purport that Rudra's body shines in the sinless &.c, is:-<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> <br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> The passage in Taittiriyopanishat of Krishna Yajurveda which signifies that the Dharana of Brahma should be one that cannot be declined &c., is: -<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> <br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> The passage again, in Rig Veda, which gives the idea and that this hand is God &c., is: -<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> <br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> This, according to the said work, refers to the practice, among the Virasaivas, of worshipping Lingam on the palm of the left hand.

But the detailed description of Lingadharana is given elaborately and extensively in Sankara Samhita of Skandapurana and in the Saivagamas. Besides these, there are innumerable works by individual authors in Sanskrit such as Anadi-Virasaiva Sangraha, Siddhanta Sikhamani, Virasaivananda Chandrika, Shatstalatilaka and other works and in Kannada, Virasaivamrita purana, Shatstalasiddhanta, Cheturacharya purana and other works. It is quite inexpedient to enumerate all those works in this small essay. It is unfortunate that the present day English educated Virasaivas are not taking the least trouble to translate some of these works into English so that the tenets of the Virasaiva religion which at present remain unknown to the world may be made known to all. With this humble remark, I close this Study II.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> <em>Antiquity</em>: - Some people think that the Virasaiva Religion was newly founded by Basavesvara of Kalyan. It must be understood that Basavesvara is only a reformer of the Virasaiva Religion and not the founder. It is nowhere said either in Basavapurana or in any of the Virasaiva works that Basavesvara founded the Virasaiva Religion. On the other hand, according to Agamas, the origin of the Virasaiva Religion is thus given. It is said that Brahma wanted to create the world. He could bot do it as he did not known how to do it. He asked Siva to show him the way of creating the world. Then Siva created out of his chit the five Acharyas viz: Renuka, Daruka, Gantakarna, Gajakarna and Visvakarna. The descendants of these Acharyas and all those that have been converted by them and their descendants are called the Virasaivas of the Aprakritas. After this, Brahma created, out of Prakriti i.e. matter, the four castes and other living things. They are called Prakritas. This is, of course, a story. But this serves to show that the belief among the Virasaivas is not that Basavesvara founded their religion, but that their religion is existing from the beginning. There is also the evidence of the Vedas, Upanishads, Smritis, Puranas, Ithihasas and Agamas to show that the Virasaiva Religion existed at the time of their compilation, because they suggest and treat of Lingadharana which is the distinctive characteristic of the Virasaiva Religion. Besides these, there is some extraneous evidence to show unequivocally that the Virasaiva Religion is a very ancient religion, that it was reformed by Basavesvara of Kalyan, but not founded by him and that it existed at the time Sri Sankaracharya and prior to him. Professor H. H. Wilson, in his Religions of India, says that Sankara Digvijaya was written by one Anandagiri an immediate disciple of Sri Sankaracharya, and this was a work of the time of Sankaracharya. In this work, he says, that five divisions of Saivas are mentioned with whom Sankara disputed. They are Saivas, Raudras, Ugras, Bhaktas and Jangamas. Their respective characteristics are also given. The characteristic of Jangamas according to the work, was the carrying of the figure of Linga on the head. Professor, H. H. Wilson says that while all the other divisions have now disappeared, the Jangamas only continue, showing that the present day Jangamas are the same as the Jangamas of the time of Sri Sankaracharya. This shows that the Virasaiva Religion existed at the time of Sri Sankaracharya. In this connection there is another important thing to be noted. Professor H. H. Wilson says that the works that were used as scriptural authorities by the above named divisions of Saivas were Siva Rahasya, Rudrayamala Tantra and other works showing that the said works were in existence at the time of Sankaracharya. Siva Rahasya treats of Lingadharana and other matters kindered to it. This also shows that Virasaiva Religion existed at the time of Sri Sankaracharya. It is known that the 63 <em>Purathanas </em>were prior to Sri Sankaracharya. According to Chennabasavapurana, a work of 14<sup>th</sup> Century A.D., some of these 63 <em>Purathanas</em> were Virasaivas. They are: -<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> (1) Ahappageyaru (In Tamil – Iyarpagai Nayanar).<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> (2) Chirutoneyandaru (In Tamil – Sirutonda Nayanar).<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> (3) Kaligananatharu (In Tamil – Gananatha Nayanar).<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> (4) Murkhanainaru (In Tamil – Murkha Nayanar).<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> (5) Perumalugaru (In Tamil – Idangudi Nayanar).<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> (6) Marabhaktaru (In Tamil – Ilayangudi Mara Nayanar).<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> (7) Chendakesigalu (In Tamil – Chendeswara Nayanar).<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> (8) Siriyala Setti (In Tamil – Sirutonda Nayanar).<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>This shows that the Virasaiva Religion existed at the time of the <em>Purathanas</em>. According to Vrishabhendra Vijaya, in Kannada, an old work, some of the Purathanas ae described as giving alms to Jangamas. As I have already shown above, the word Jangama is applied to the Saivas who carry the figure of the Linga on the head. This also shows the existence of the Virasaivas at the time of the <em>Purathanas</em>. I hear that the word Jangama is also used in one or two places in Peria Purana. If it be so, it will add strength to my remark. Saint Tirumular who is one of the 63 <em>Purathanas</em> treats of Shatsthala in his works. Shatsthala is a tenet of the Virasaivas. This also shows that the Virasaiva Religion existed at the time of the <em>Purathanas</em>. Tayumanavar Svamigal makes use of the worlds Guru Linga and Jangama in his works. But, as he is a recent personage, he will not be of avail to prove the antiquity of the Virasaiva Religion. On a consideration of all the circumstances mentioned above, I am somewhat forced to think that the birth place of Virasaiva Religion is the Tamil country, that the members of the Virasaiva Religion first developed it in the Tamil Country. Be this as it may, what is it that makes some people think that the Lingadharana Religion is a recent religion and it was founded by Basavesvara of Kalyan, in spite of the existence of Vedas, Smritis, &c., which treat of Lingadharana. People seem to have been dazzled by the suddenness and brilliancy of Basavesvara's grand work of reform. They think that the system of Lingadharana is an innovation introduced by him. This is a great mistake. It may be that Basavesvara introduced many reforms into the existing Lingadharana religion, or he might have put into practice many things that existed in theory prior to him, such as regarding all men who were Sivabhaktas as equals, kindness to all living things &c. But it cannot be that he invented the wearing of Linga on the body. It exists from the early times. This mistaken idea about the time of the Virasaiva Religion is due to want of study of Virasaiva Literature as well as other works on the subject. The present day English educated Virasaiva also have not taken trouble to translate Virasaiva works into English and many of them have not studied the works in original even. This is a great misfortune of the Virasaiva Religion. Much activity is going on among the Virasaivas of the Karnataka country. Virasaiva Conferences are held every year. Virasaiva Boarding houses are established. Grand Funds for the promotion of the English education of the Virasaivas are started. But of what avail are all these? Things are not done with right earnestness. The only substantial and good works that may be considered to have been with real love for the religion are those executed by the late Varad Mallappa of Sholapur, the late Lingappa Gayappa Sirsinge, the Late Virasangappa of Mysore, the living Kumaraswami of Hunagal and the publication of the old Virasaiva classic works by the living Mr. N. R. Karibasava Sastri of Mysore. The only useful work that the English educated Virasaiva can do for the religion is printing grand works such as Sreekara Bashya and other works and translating excellent books such as Siddhanta Sikamani. To do this a great amount of labour and self sacrifice is necessary.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: center'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>NOTE.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman'><span style='font-size:12pt'> [</span><span style='font-size:10pt'>The expression Guru, Linga, Jangama is a technical one.

When Saiva Siddhanta Conference was held at Ramnad, the Saivic promoters were kind enough to elect a Virasaiva of prominence as president and to permit a number of Virasaivas to deliver lectures on Virsaivism. But among the Virasaivas themselves, the work of Saivic progress is not satisfactory. While the Saivas of the Tamil country are doing all their best to improve the cause of Saiva Religion in every way, by starting a journal in English in which all about Saiva Religion is written, by translating excellent Saiva works in Tamil and Sanskrit into English, by writing lives of Tamil Saiva Saints in Tamil and English and by doing various other things, the Virasaivas of the Karnataka Country remain doing nothing in the spiritual field though they are doing some feeble work in the worldly sphere. There are innumerable classic works in Sanskrit, Telugu and Kannada which require to be translated into English by doing which only the existence and usefulness of a specific branch of Saivism can be made known to the world. The well-to-do and educated Virasaivas are wanting in fire to strive for all these things. This is the misfortune of Virasaivism. Be this as it may. Having said so much about the condition of Virasaivism at present and having offered sincere thanks to the promoters of Saiva Movement for their kindness in giving encouragement to the pitiable members of Virasaiva Religion to utter something in the Conferences &c., I now beg permission to come to my subject. The subject that I have chosen for delivering today is what is called <em>Ashatavarana</em>. The text of the Virasaivas consists of three things viz: - Shatsthala (six steps to salvation), Ashtavarana (the eight protections) and Panchachara (the five religious observances). These three things are really not separate from each other. In the Shatsthala, the Ashtavarana and Panchachara are embodied. The Shatsthala is peculiar workmanship in which everything is included. In it, the Karma Kanda, the Jnana Kanda, the Yoga Kanda and Bhakti Kanda are included. In it, the 101 sthalas from Pinda to Jnanasurya are included. In it, the five elements and the Atma are included. Within it, the Pindanda and Brahmanda are shut up. There is nothing beyond it. It is Brahma, appearing to the world in six forms on account of vibration of the Sakti which is connected with Siva (Brahma) as the smell with the flower, as the taste with milk and as coldness with the moon's rays. There is much to say about Shatsthala. But as my subject is Ashtavarana and as the time within which I shall have to finish my lecture is short, I shall have to satisfy myself with confining myself to saying a few words about Ashtavaranas. As I have already stated, this Ashtavarana is not separate from Shatsthala. When a Bhakta is practising shatstha, he meets with the downward opposition (Pravritti) of Saktis which prevents him from ascending towards Mukti. So, according to the prescriptions, he makes use of Bhaktis which resist Saktis and helps to make upward progress (Nivritti). In this struggle, various kinds of temptations of the world come and besiege the Bhakta and trouble him. To be undisturbed by these, the Bhakta is directed to make use of what are called Ashtavaranas which are Guru, Linga, Jangama, Vibhuti, Rudraksha, Padodaka, Prasada and Panchakshara. These Ashtavaranas are like the eight fortresses which protect the Bhakta from the siege of worldly temptations. Some account of the greatness of these Ashtavaranas, I give below in brief.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> (1) Guru: - The Guru's shape is the source of meditation. The Guru's feet are the source of worship. The Guru's words are the source of Mantra. The Guru's kindness is the source of Salvation. Guru is father. Guru is mother. Guru is God. There is nothing beyond Guru. A sathbhakta should make 'ashtanga pranamam' before the Guru on the land and offer prayers to him. The sixty-eight Thirthas, the seven oceans, the eight mountains, the planet and stars and the thirty six tattvas are all in the various limbs of the Guru. The Sivasasanas say 'Naguroradhikam'.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> (2) Linga: - All the movable and immovable things in the world and the three worlds shine in the midst of Sivalinga. There is nothing beyond Lingam. Linga is indestructible. It is free from vicissitudes. It is indivisible. There is no other thing which is like it. If one worships Sivalinga in any manner, he is sure to get Salvation. As long as there will be no death, as long as there will be no old age and diseases, as long as the senses are not weakened, so long one should worship Linga.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> (3) Jangama: - Jangama devoid of shape and non-shape. It is free from desire and non-desire. It is beyond Nada, Bindu and Kala. It has traversed beyond Veda, Sastra and other things. It has no beginning, middle or end. It is eternal bliss. A Bhakta should worship this Jangama and offering Prasada of this Jangama to Ishta Linga, should swallow it. Brahmanas are Gods on earth. Jangamas are Rudras on earth. Of these two, Jangamas are great.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> (4) Vibhuti: - Vibhuti prepared from the Cow dung of cows known as Nandi, Subhadri, Surabhi, Susila and Sumani born from the five faces of Siva known as Sadyojata &c., is to be besmeared on the body. If done so, age will be increased. The Vibhuti should be besmeared on head, forehead, neck, shoulders, elbow, wrist, breast, naval, sides and back. The Vibhuti should be besmeared after uttering Panchakshari. Such a person as does so will get all his desires and attain salvation.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> (5) Rudraksha: - When Parameswara, at the time of Thripura Samhara, opened his eyes, there fell water from them. From this water, Rudraksha trees were born. If one names these Rudrakshas, he will get the Phala of giving one lakh of cows as alms. If he sees them, he will get double that Phala. If he wears them, he will become Rudra himself. If he wears, according to prescribed rules, Rudrakshas of various kinds from Rudraksha of one face to Rudraksha of fourteen faces, he will get great rewards.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> (6) Padodaka: - If Padodaka of Guru, Linga and Jangama is worn on the body, Prarabdhas of previous births such as Sanchita, Agamya &c., will be destroyed. If it is worn on the head, all the catastrophes will be removed. If it is drunk, immediate salvation will be obtained.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> (7) Prasada: - A Siva Bhakta should offer all things to Guru, Linga and Jangama and then eat their Sesha. He should not, even out of carelessness, give the said Sesha to place, beasts, water, &c. This Prasada destroys all sins. It is like the Badabanala (inner fire) to the Sea of Sorrow. It burns up poverty. It gives the four kinds of Purusharthas. It gives Sujnana (spiritual knowledge).<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> (8) Panchakshari: - By uttering Panchakshari, all sins will be destroyed. Death, disease and other things will be destroyed. One will get Salvation. One will be free from the fear of Yaksha, Rakshasa, Pisacha, Graha and Ugrasarpas. When one is on bare ground, when he is on bed, when he walks, when he is on cot, he should not utter Sivamanthra, but should only meditate upon it remaining silent without uttering any words.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> Thus, I have stated, in brief, some account regarding the greatness of Ashtavarana. I pray that Almighty God Siva will bless all mankind and all living things and will ever continue to give to our promoters of the Saiva Siddhanta Movement the same firmness of will, vigour of purpose, and undiminishing energy to plod on with their work of Siva Cause. With this, I close my lecture.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: right'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>J.

And who is Brahma? Brahma, the supreme, impersonal soul of the universe, self-existent, absolute and eternal, from which all things emanate and to which all return, has three manifestations, viz: - Brahma (embodying the idea of creation) Vishnu (that of preservation) and Shiva (that of destruction or dissolution). Hence it appears that Brahma is the first member of the Hindu Triad, and one would naturally suppose that his worship would be both popular and widespread. But as a matter of fact, his worship is very rare and temples dedicated to him are few and far between. It is said that one reason for the scant honor now paid to him is the curse uttered against him by Shiva, when he and Vishnu contended with each other as to which was the greater deity. It is related that when they were at it hammer and tongs, Shiva suddenly appeared before them and claimed superiority over both of them. To prove his claim he made his linga appear and then challenged the two rivals to find either the top or the bottom of it, whereas Brahma took on a pair of wings and tried to find its top. Though both were unsuccessful, yet Brahma falsely claimed to have reached the linga's top. His falsehood was detected by Shiva, who severely rebuked him and added "let no one henceforth perform worship to thee."<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> Brahma, started out in life with a first class mental equipment, viz, five heads which are accounted for as follows: - After he had created his daughter, Satarupa or Sarasvati, from his own body he was so charmed by her loveliness that he fell in love with her and exclaimed "how surpassingly lovely she is!" Thereupon Satarupa modestly turned to the right, but as her love-stricken father still wished to gaze upon her, a second head issued from his shoulders. Then as she still desiring to avoid his amorous glances, went first to the left and then, behind him, two more heads came forth from his shoulders. Finally in her modest desperation, she sprang up into the sky; but the resourceful and amorous Brahma was not to be beaten, for he at once gave himself a fifth head and so was enabled still to feed his eyes on her surpassing beauty. How comes it then that he is represented with only four heads? It is said that on the occasion of the above mentioned dispute with Vishnu when Siva appeared before them and cursed Brahma for his lying, the latter became furiously angry and abused Siva to his face, whereupon Siva caused the offending head to be struck off.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> Such is the deity that is now honored by one solitary temple in all Gujarat. The temple is placed in the centre of the village of Khed Brahma, or Brahma Khed which is about fifteen minutes walk from the railway station. The building is disappointingly insignificant in appearance and seems to be partly old and partly modern or restored. On walking round the outside of the temple, one cannot but be struck with the number of images of goddesses and dancing girls on the walls. The god himself occupies the central place in the three principal niches of the north, south and west walls, but most of the remaining space is occupied by female figures in various stages of undress and in strange attitudes. The mandap and forepart of the interior are in the plainest and simplest style, and as we were not prevented, from going right in and up to the shrine we obtained a very close view of the idol itself. Brahma's three somewhat expression less faces were clearly seen, but the fourth, being engaged with the back wall, was of course invisible. As he is four-headed so he was four arms, two on either side, the upper two being held in an upright position from the elbow, and the lower two hand down by his sides. In the right upper hand is the sacrificial ladle, in the left upper a copy of the Vedas in the right lower the rosary, and in the left lower hand he holds a water pot. The present image strikes one as being quite a modern one, and is clothed in a pink cotton dress. The material of which the image is made seems to be plaster, well polished and made to look into marble. In front and on either side of its stands the sacred goose, the vahana or carriage of the god. When we entered the place not a soul was to be seen, and subsequently only a few boys and one young man who informed us that he was the <em>pujari </em>turned up. True indeed that worship is performed each morning and evening by the <em>pujari</em>, and a mela or fair is held once a year in the month of February when fairly large crowds congregate to pay their respects to Brahma, and yet the whole air of the place is one of lonely desolation vividly witnessing to the efficacy of Siva's withering curse. – <em>Brahmavadin</em>.<br /></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> </span></p></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
