- The document discusses the creation of Card 12 "The Hanging Man" in the Sacred India Tarot deck. It includes notes and correspondence between Rohit Arya and Jane discussing visual ideas and the story of Trishanku that inspired the card.
- Trishanku was a king who wanted to ascend to heaven in bodily form. He was cursed and turned into an outcast after angering sages. He was left eternally suspended between heaven and earth as punishment.
- The notes discuss depicting Trishanku upside down hanging in space surrounded by stars, with depictions of heaven and earth. The face should express lessons learned through pain rather than torment.
- Additional notes
What beauty is there in the body of a woman composed of nerves, bones and joints? She is a mere statue of flesh and a frame of moving machinery with her ribs and limbs.
Sexual desire, like a huntsman, has spread his nets in the form of women for the purpose of ensnaring deluded men like silly birds. A woman is nothing but a form composed of the five elements, so why intelligent men should be fondly attached to her?
Lust for the opposite sex is one of the major hindrances in the Spiritual Journey of the soul back to its Real Home. It has to be given up by both the sexes.
The observations of Rama are some of the suggestions to overcome the inherent attraction for the opposite sex. The key to overcome this temptation is not to pay attention to the attractive features of the opposite sex. And before casting a second glance one should activate these observations in the mind applied vice versa.
This document provides an analysis of the thematic and philosophical connections between Herman Hesse's novel Siddhartha and the ancient Indian text Bhagavad Gita. It discusses how Siddhartha's spiritual journey mirrors the three-part development of karma yoga, bhakti yoga, and jnana yoga described in the Gita. Key symbols in Siddhartha like the river and the syllable "Om" are also shown to relate to concepts in the Gita. By the end of his journey, Siddhartha achieves a state of transcendence and unity with all things, similar to the enlightened state described in the Gita. The document argues that reading Sidd
We all remain here, as slaves sold to Fate and Destiny, and we are deceived by their allurements…Destiny, the faithful and obedient wife of Fate, is naturally fickle on account of her being a female. She is always bent on mischief and disturbing patience.
Everyone in this world is fond of affluence and pleasures, not knowing that these are only calculated to lead him to his ruin. All individual existences are liable to appear and disappear. All desires are chains to the world, and all worldly beings are constantly seen to be led away to where, necessarily, no one can tell.
The duration of human life in this world is being decreased in each generation in proportion to the increase of wicked acts. The desire of pleasure is as vain as the expectation of reaping fruit from a vine growing in the sky. Yet I know not why men of reason would not understand this truth.

Ralph Waldo Emerson - Poetry and Philosophy
[1] Ralph Waldo Emerson was an American essayist, lecturer, and poet who was a leading figure of the transcendentalist movement of the 19th century. [2] In his writings, he explores nature and the Over-Soul, the universal spirit that connects all things. [3] He believed the poet represents beauty and stands at the center of the world, announcing what no one else has foretold.
I see no deeds in the world that endure to the final liberation of men. Actions proceeding from a fool’s desire for results serve only for their restlessness on earth. Even in old age, those corrupted by their greed will not accept sermons on their eternal concerns…I know not how to pass this state of human life.
Reflect carefully on the observations of Rama, the incarnation of Lord Vishnu, on the vanity of this world. A cycle of four yugas starts with Satyuga, in which people live by the norms of Dharma. In Satya Yuga contentment is the chariot and Dharma is the driver. In Treta continence is the chariot and might is the driver. In Dwapar penance is the chariot and virtue is the driver. In Kaliyuga fire is the chariot and falsehood is the driver.
The cycle that starts with society’s unflinching adherence to Dharma ends with complete moral degeneration in Kaliyuga, wherein people burn in the fires of lust, anger and greed; relationships are built on narrow self-interest; and the affairs of society are run through falsehood, cunning and deceit.
This document discusses the spiritual mysteries and heritage sites of Jammu and Kashmir, including Lord Shiva opening spiritual treasures on this land. It mentions monastic life in caves, the mystery of springs and lakes, and travels of Lord Buddha and Jesus Christ in the region. Key sites discussed include the Pir Panjal mountain range, Amar Nath cave, and places visited by Lord Buddha and Jesus in spreading their messages in Jammu and Kashmir.
The document discusses the degrees of saying "God is Most Great". It provides details on the first degree which focuses on God's absolute power, knowledge, and status as the sole Creator. It argues that attributing creation to multiple causes rather than a single Creator (God) would introduce immense difficulties and even impossibilities. Unity in creation demonstrates God's ease and perfection in bringing all things into existence.

The poem "The Utopian's Cry" describes a utopian who searches for ideals of beauty, love, and harmony but finds reality to be ugly and lacking in compassion. The utopian cries out for change but feels unheard by the miserable mortals who find solace only in immortality. The collection of poems explores themes of dreams, destiny, loneliness, faith, love and mythical creatures.
My life its legacy and message by pandit shreeram sharma acharyaBhim Upadhyaya
This document introduces the autobiography of Shriram Sharma Acharya titled "My Life – Its Legacy and Message". It explains that while the outward events of Acharya's life are known, he has resisted sharing details about his inner spiritual experiences and attainments. However, he now feels compelled to share his life story to provide guidance to genuine spiritual seekers and dispel misunderstandings about spirituality. Acharya hopes that understanding his philosophy and way of life can help others avoid disappointment on their own spiritual paths and realize the true potential of Riṣi traditions. He has spent 63 years implementing the principles and achieving the results of this spiritual science, which are visible for all to objectively examine.
The document is a collection of passages from a book discussing concepts of magic, spirituality, and life lessons. Some key ideas discussed include:
- Magic speaks the languages of the human heart and one must have courage to make mistakes and face disappointment on their spiritual path.
- A woman can commune with the universe through being a virgin, saint, martyr, or witch, each revealing wisdom through solitude, sacrifice, or surrender.
- The word has power to project thought and energy outward, so one must be careful with what they say. Emotions are a gift and should not be explained away rationally but lived intensely.
- No one can truly possess or understand life's beautiful moments
This document provides an overview of the author's life experiences and perspectives on spirituality and consciousness. In 3 sentences:
The author describes living an adventurous life filled with unexpected events and experiences that shaped their humanitarian work and spiritual beliefs. They believe mystical experiences reflect an expanded consciousness rather than a direct encounter with God, and that future humans will have minds that roam the heavens in wonder while being less driven by earthly desires. The author expresses frustration that their ideas about the transformation of human consciousness were not more widely accepted despite being an important topic.

~~ Mythology based ; the 27 nakshatras (www.galacticcenter.org) ~~Deepak Somaji Sawant
The document discusses the 27 Nakshatras, which are divisions of the sky used in Vedic astrology. It provides details on each Nakshatra, including its symbol, ruling deity, associated stars and mythology. Each Nakshatra is described in terms of the personality traits and indications associated with being born under its influence.
There are 22 experiences needed to have for an entire spiritual awakening and they are known as “archetypes”… and these were written by the Mind of the Galaxy long before we were ever created. Thoth-Hermes created the 22 major Arcana of the Tarot to have a synchronistic resonance with the cosmic template that sustains the personal holographic matrix.
His second volume of original works of poetry and prose, Don MacIver delivers a large collection of acclaimed works of verse...romantic, relationships, loss, illness and grief, our incredible natural surroundings and so much more.
This work of love and devotion is dedicated to the author/poet's loving wife Andrea who has been such a tremendous inspiration in his life and writing.
Chapter 10-VIBHUTI YOGA of Bhagavad Gita is being interpreted here by Mahatma Gandhi. Here, Sri Krishna describes himself as the Unborn, the Beginning-less & the Supreme Lord of all creatures. He says that all the qualities like knowledge, freedom from delusion, truth, self-restraint, pleasure, pain, birth, death, fear, courage, contentment austerity, non-violence etc. emanate from Him. Upon request from Arjuna He gives a long list of examples of His manifestations, which shows that God is omnipotent,& His creation contains both good & evil
God's love for humanity is demonstrated through Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross. While humans were still sinners, unable to love God in return, God showed the depth and strength of His love by sending His son to die for humanity and save them. The cross is the ultimate expression of God's self-sacrificing and unconditional love, as He was willing to sacrifice His own son to save those who did not deserve it.
The document compares the perspectives of a believer and unbeliever by telling a story of two men who go on a journey. [1] The unbeliever sees a world full of suffering, misery, and death wherever he looks. [2] The believer sees a world filled with joy, festivity, and people going about their duties as servants of God. [3] The comparison shows that belief in God allows one to see the beauty in the world while unbelief leads to seeing only darkness and torment.

Biography of Sarojini Naidu... A powerpoint presentation specially designed for school students.. Visit http://www.jobsnstudyportal.in for more Presentation..
This document discusses symbolism and allegory. It defines a symbol as an ordinary object that has been given special meaning. Symbols can be public symbols that are widely known, or invented by writers. Writers use symbols in literature to suggest deeper meanings and make stories more powerful. Allegory is a story where characters and events represent abstract ideas, qualities, or historical events. Allegories often have symbolic names and can be read on a literal and symbolic level to convey moral lessons.
Sarojini Naidu was an Indian independence activist and poet who was born in 1879. She became involved in the Indian independence movement in 1905 and went on to hold several prominent leadership roles, including president of the Indian National Congress in 1925. As a poet, she wrote several collections including The Golden Threshold in 1905 and The Feather of Dawn in 1961.

She published several poetry collections that contributed to early 20th century modernism in India, including The Golden Threshold in 1905 and The Bird of Time in 1912.

ADS2 - Cosmic Intelligence and Reality of the UniversePardeep Sehgal
All that is seen has an origin and there must therefore be an antecedent cause for it.
If a thing can appear without a cause there is no relation between cause and effect, and there can be no harmony in the world. A potter's work may lead to a weaver's products, and vice versa, which is absurd. Each occurrence must have a cause for it; that is the rule.
The universe must have a Creator, and He must be an intelligent principle, but He cannot be of any known type because of the vastness of the creation. His power is past understanding and is dealt with in the Scriptures, whose authority is incontrovertible.
This whole universe consisting of the mobile and the immobile, arises from, abides in, and resolves into Him. This is the final and well-known conclusion of the Scriptures; and the Scriptures never err. The guide by which one can apprehend the metaphysical and transcendental matters is Scripture alone.
Hindu gods & goddesses, philosophy, The Vedas, The Upanishads, The Bhagavad Gita, The Ramayana, philosophy, ritual, caste system, Gandhi, Ambedhkhar, India, history, culture, psychology, politics, faith, religion, spirituality
Hindu scriptures provide several creation myths explaining the origin of the universe in cyclical terms. One myth describes the universe emerging from the dismemberment of a cosmic man, with all living things originating from different parts of his body. Gods like Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are seen as responsible for the creative acts of each cycle of creation and destruction. The universe is said to undergo repeated cycles of creation, existence, and dissolution within broader cycles of time.
The six questions of the sages in Chapter 1 of the Bhagavatam seek to understand:
1. What is the ultimate benefit or purpose for humanity.
2. What is the essence of all scriptures.
3. Why did God appear in the womb of Devaki.
4. A description of God's wonderful deeds in forms like Brahma and Rudra in creation, maintenance and destruction.
5. A description of the activities of God's incarnations within the universe.
6. Where has religion taken shelter now that God has retired to his own abode.
The summary seeks to understand the purpose of life, the essence of scriptures,
Mahavidyas (Great Wisdoms) or Dasha-Mahavidyas are a
group of ten aspects of devi Parvati or Goddess Shakti in
Hinduism. The 10 Mahavidyas are Wisdom Goddesses,
aspects of devi Parvati, who represents a spectrum of
feminine divinity, from horrific goddesses at one end, to
the gentle at the other.
The development of Mahavidyas represents an important
turning point in the history of Shaktism as it marks the rise
of Bhakti aspect in Shaktism, which reached its zenith in
1700 CE. First sprung forth in the post-Puranic age, around
6th century C.E., it was a new theistic movement in which
the Supreme Being was envisioned as female. A fact
epitomized by texts like Devi-Bhagavata Purana, especially
its last nine chapters (31-40) of the seventh skandha,
which are known as the Devi Gita, and soon became
central texts of Shaktism.
Contributions to the Marriage Ideal from Emanuel Swedenborg's writings. In particularly in his book: Love in Marriage - "The Sensible Joy in Married Love and The Foolish Pleasures of Illicit Love" by Emanuel Swedenborg
The passage discusses the concept of the Self and its relationship to existence. It states that the system of the universe originates from the Self, and that life depends on strengthening the Self. It asserts that all forms of existence are effects of the Self, and that whatever one sees contains secrets of the Self. When the Self gains consciousness, it reveals the universe of thought, with a hundred worlds hidden within its essence.
- The document discusses and compares two poems by William Wordsworth: "Tintern Abbey" and "Ode: Intimations of Immortality".
- Both poems explore Wordsworth's relationship with nature over time, addressing his experience of it in youth versus maturity. As a youth, he had a "visionary power" working through nature, while as an adult he found nature provided "soothing thoughts" and inspiration.
- The poems mark Wordsworth's shift from seeing nature through a "painter's eye" to understanding its "hidden meaning" and using it to contemplate the human condition and eternity. Though he lost his youthful connection, nature continued to nourish and teach him.
The document summarizes five basic truths explained in the Bhagavad Gita: 1) Ishvara (the Supreme Lord), 2) Jiva (the living entity), 3) Prakriti (nature), 4) Kala (eternal time), and 5) Karma (activity). It describes each concept in detail, explaining that Ishvara is the source of all, Jivas are atomic souls meant to serve Ishvara but can become influenced by material nature, Prakriti is the material energy that manifests the material world, and Kala and Karma govern the interactions of Jivas within the material world. The overall message is that the five truths outlined in the Bhagavad Gita
1. Krishna descends in various incarnations to attract souls in the mode of pure goodness back to his eternal spiritual abode.
2. He performs pastimes to guide suffering living beings to liberation from material existence and the cycle of birth and death.
3. Krishna appears personally or sends empowered representatives to propagate devotion and reestablish the principles of hearing, chanting and remembering him.
This document provides an introduction and overview to the book "Miracle of Witness Consciousness" which is based on the ancient Indian text "Shiva Sutras". It discusses that the book aims to help readers discover their true higher self through self-inquiry. It explains that humans have three bodies - gross physical body, subtle body which controls the physical body, and causal body which controls the subtle body. Beyond these is the fourth body of pure awareness or witness consciousness. The goal of self-inquiry is to discover this higher self or witness within. It asks the question "Who are you?" and discusses the concept of the spiritual heart as the center of one's sense of self.
Saraswati the goddess_of_knowledge_by_dr.swanand_s._pathak swanandpathak

Savitri : A Legend of Divine Love
Dr. K. Ujjwala,
Coordinator of English Guru Nanak Institutions Technical Campus, Hyderabad
ABSTRACT: Savitri is Sri Aurobindo’s masterpiece. We cannot fully understand or appreciate him and his
philosophy unless we have an understanding and appreciation of his grand epic, Savitri, which he himself has
described as “A Legend and a Symbol”. The story of Savitri is well known through Vanaparva of the
Mahabharata. Aswapati, King of Madra who was childless undertakes severe tapasya to propitiate Goddess
Savitri, who blesses him with a daughter. Savitri grows into an attractive and accomplished young lady but
nobody wants to marry her because of her powerful personality. Aswapati tells her daughter to seek her own
husband and she sets out on quest. It is after two years that she returns and in the royal court makes the
announcement of her choice of Satyavan – son of Dyumatsena, the blind King of Shalwa, then in exile. Narada,
who happens to be present on the occasion, speaks against the choice. Satyavan, he says, is destined to die after
a year. Savitri, however, does not change her mind and the marriage is duly solemnized. Savitri is content to
remain with her husband, sharing his simple life of hardship and serving her old parents-in-law. Soon one year
comes to an end. The God of Death appears in the woods where Satyavan accompanied by Savitri, is engaged in
felling a tree for fuel. The Yama casts his deadly noose around Sayavan’s spirit and moves away. Savitri
follows the Deity, by virtue of the power of her purity, the loving wife forces him to return her husband. Sri
Aurobindo himself brings out its significance for us by transforming into a sublime and beautiful epic. The poet
highlights the divine and spiritual love between Savitri and Satyavan in a symbolic way. Naturally, Savitri is the
supreme expression of Sri Aurobindo’s vision and his message to mankind. In her supreme heroism Sri
Aurobindo found in an embryonic form the symbolic affirmation of life on earth. It is no wonder therefore that
Sri Aurobindo returned to this story again and again as he advanced on the path of his yoga of transformation.
KEY WORDS: Savitri, Legend, Symbol, Divine Love
I. SUMMARY
Savitri as a „Legend of Divine Love’ describes the sudden meeting of Savitri and Satyavan. The poet
describes their meetings in detail for two reasons: firstly, it gives the poet an opportunity to sing the glory of
Love. Secondly, the poet can highlight the virtues of Satyavan. The meeting between Savitri and Satyavan is
said to be the unique example of spiritual love. According to V. K. Gokak, “Not only has this episode the purity
of love scenes in Shakespear‟s Romeo and Juliet and Kalidasa‟s Shakuntala; it is distinguished by a Platonism
whose luster makes even makes Shelley‟s splendours somewhat mawkish and immature.”1
The love that is
described is pure and tender and beautifully combines the soul with the body, the spiritual with the erotic. This
is ideal love and this is love as it should be. For love between man and woman without the element of spirit is
no better than carnal craving and this love without its physical aspect is no better than mere abstraction and is
incomplete and imperfect. The tree of true love, as Robert Browning has reminded us, has its roots in the soil
but its flowers bloom in the sky. The ecstasy of true love‟s fulfillment in the life of Savitri and Satyavan is
depicted by Sri Aurobindo in glowing verse; the lily‟s spirituality and the rose‟s rapture are wonderfully
balanced:
“He gathered all Savitri into his clasp
Around her his embrace became the sign
Of a locked closeness through slow intimate years,
A first sweet summary of delight to come,
One brevity intense of all long life.
In a wide moment of two souls that meet
She felt her being flow into him as in waves
A river pours into a mighty sea…
As when a soul is merging into God,
To live in Him forever and know His joy,
Her consciousness was a wave of him alone
And all her separate self was lost in his.”2

Sri Aurobindo says that love is a glory from the spheres of eternity. Love has brought down power
from eternity to firmly establish himself in life on earth. Men seem to meet each other as if by accident but
infact it is all by some secret design of providence. Savitri and Satyavan knew each other although unknown to
sight and although life and mind had altered to hold a new significance.
“These bodies summed the drift of number less births
And the spirit to the spirit was the same.”3
When Satyavan sees Savitri for the first time he experiences a sea-change in his life. One sacred
moment had knit their hearts together again and again and made them each other forever, recovering the
recognition in deeps. As star attracts another star, in heavens, so Savitri and Satyavan look at each other in
wonder and rejoice. It happens at times that when two persons meet, the inner being of one recognizes the inner
being of the other behind the veil of the outer senses. The inner deeper self which is more conscious begins to
grow aware of the relation. It is a moment which has the touch of eternity. A fresh hour begins the womb of a
New Age:
Attracted as in heaven star by star,
They wondered at each other and rejoiced
And wove affinity in a silent gaze
A moment passed that was eternity‟s ray
An hour began, the matrix of new time.”4
The union of Savitri and Satyavan is really the union of Prakriti and Purusha. Therefore, this union is
celebrated on a cosmic scale. Sri Aurobindo says that fate ties a knot with morning‟s halo threads on the high
glowing cupola of the day. They are heart-bound before the sun who is their marriage fire. The wind is the
priest who mutters the sacred verses amid the choral whisperings of leaves:
“On the day high glowing cupola of the day
Fate tied knot with mornings halo threads.
The wedding of the eternal lord and spouse
Took place again on earth in human forms,
In a new act of the drama of the world
The united two began a greater age.”5
Savitri‟s long search for her soul-companion makes it a marriage of the most romantic choice possible.
The marriage fits in with a definite stage in the spiritual evolution of Satyavan and Savitri. They find the
fulfillment of their quest in each other. Together they are able to assert the victory of love over death. It is
Savitri‟s victory but Satyavan was the occasion for it. This is what the two lovers were born to realize. V. K.
Gokak says, “The love at first sight in this episode does not need either to be cured or strengthened by second
sight. It is not merely a Platonic recognition of the other half but recognition that extends over a number of lives
and is rooted in the unity of spirit. It is Aurobindoneanism rather than Platonism.”6
In the Book The Everlasting Day, after the disappearance of Death, a mysterious power is released and
the foundations of the entire universe are shaken. Savitri hears a powerful voice that asks her to choose by
repeating choose four times. And what is her choice? Her choice is God‟s peace, God‟s oneness, God‟s energy
and God‟s joy. But each of these she asks not for herself but for mankind. This is how Savitri fulfils her role as
the avatara who incarnates herself for the transformation of mankind. According to Sri Aurobindo, human
consciousness has to undergo a total transformation. Savitri inspires man to prepare for this integral revolution.
After the mysterious power disappears, Savitri and Satyavan are left together. Soon they become conscious of
the presence of an all-pervading power of benevolence. This power has nothing but praise for Savitri for being
true to her life‟s mission and showers blessings on both of them for the success they have achieved in their
supreme mission:
“O Satyavan, O luminous Savitri
I sent you forth of old beneath stars,
A dual Power of God in an ignorant world…
The Superman shall wake in mortal man
And manifest the hidden demi-god…
All then shall change, a magic order come
Overtopping this mechanical universe.
3. Savitri: A Legend Of Divine Love
www.ijhssi.org 41 | P a g e
A mightier race shall inhabit the mortal‟s world…
The spirit shall look out through matter‟s gaze
And matter shall reveal the spirit‟s face…
Nature shall live to manifest secret God,
The spirit shall take up the human play,
This earthly life become the life divine.”7
Satyavan is the soul of man climbing to God, Savitri is the power of the Eternal‟s spirit. The two will
lead man to God through many incarnations. They have been promised by the Divine that the mundane life will
become the Life Divine, Savitri and Satyavan return to earth, calm of mind, all passion spent. Savitri and
Satyavan remind us of the Adam and Eve of Paradise Lost – are ultimately united with their people:
“Drawn by white upon a high-roofed car
In flare of the unsteady torches went
With linked hand Satyavan and Savitri,
Hearing a marriage march and nuptial hymn,
Where waited them the many-voiced human world.
Numberless the stars swam on their shadowy field…
She brooded through her stillness on a thought
Deep-guarded by her mystic folds of light,
And in her bosom nursed a greater dawn.”8
The journey of Savitri and Satyavan comes to an end. The vision of the struggle and victory is
concluded. For purity and tenderness and for the soul that does not deny the body but gives to human values
their due place in a scheme of life. It would be difficult to find a more powerful episode of love in World‟s
literature. Sri Aurobindo had made an epic of what was only an episode in Vyasa and endowed the story with
novel spiritual implications. Sri Aurobindo uses Savitri as a means of ascension. Each major state of progress
found him on the peaks of a higher level of consciousness. He reminds us here that man is amritasya putra, he is
made by God in His own image, and therefore he is full of infinite possibilities. Savitri conveys the message of
hope to the contemporary society which is confronted with the alarming danger of annihilation and destruction
due to the explosion of technological knowledge. The present state of man‟s existence should be taken as a
temporary phase of a dark night that precedes the dawn of illumination. Indeed Savitri is not only a Legend of
Divine Love but also a massive epic of hope.
