Holy Ramayan
Lord Vishnu in Sheshasayi posture
Continued from part 3 :
Chapter 35 begins to narrate the birth of river Ganga through an allegory. Sage Vishwamitra and his entourage cross the sand dunes along the Shon river and after a long journey reach the banks of the river Ganga where Lord Ram enquires about the origin of river Ganga and so Sage Vishwamitra narrates it. The entire narrative is in the form of an allegory involving Mount Meru, the Himalayas and Lord Shiva.
According to this allegory Mount Meru had a daughter named Mena who was married to Himalaya, the Lord of Mountains.Himalaya had two daughters called Ganga and Uma.The elder daughter Ganga was taken to heaven by the Gods for the welfare of the three worlds and the younger daughter Uma was married to Lord Shiva by virtue of her ascetic penance.This allegory is full of mystery and any literal translation is highly misleading.Mount Meru is not a mountain, it is the earth's magnetic field extending to the upper atmosphere from the North Pole.The marriage of Mount Meru's daughter to Himalaya symbolizes the energy exchange between the earth's magnetic field and the upper atmosphere that causes rainfall. The celestial Ganga river is the layer of water vapour in the upper atmosphere that causes rainfall throughout the world and sustains all life.This primordial celestial river descended on the Himalayas as rain and created the glacier known today as Gangotri, the source of river Ganga.The river Ganga is present in the three worlds - as rainclouds in the upper atmosphere, as the perennial river on the surface of the earth and as the aquifer beneath the surface of the earth. Thus Himalaya became the father of river Ganga. Himalaya's other daughter Uma's marriage to Lord Shiva symbolizes the cosmic union of Shiva and Shakti that is responsible for the creation of all life on earth. Lord Shiva and His wife Uma spoken of in this chapter are not actual persons,they are cosmic allegories - Goddess Uma represents the earth and Lord Shiva represents the constellation Orion or KalPurusha. (Yes, you read it right).

The constellation Orion or KalPurusha
The Orion constellation or KalPurusha is Lord Shiva as a cosmic allegory.The constellation is the most prominent celestial object in the night sky and has been used by Vedic astrologers to calculate time - hence the name KalPurusha or keeper of time.
We need to understand the symbolism of Lord Shiva before going further.The prabhamadala or ring of fire around the statue symbolizes the other star constellations around KalPurusha which beam cosmic energy on the earth as a unit. The Fire on the upper left hand symbolizes destruction through cosmic fire while the Damru on the upper right hand symbolizes creation through OM sound or Shabda Brahman.The lower right hand shows the Abhaya Mudra which dispels the fears of the devotees and the snake symbolizes the awakened Kundalini Shakti that creates cosmic consciousness for attaining Moksha.The lower left hand points to the raised left foot symbolizing the cosmic dance of Shiva and Shakti or mystery of creation.The right leg tramples the dwarf demon Apsamara symbolizing the end of ignorance.

The Ardhanarishvara form of Lord Shiva depicts the cosmic union of Shiva and Shakti and this is what Chapter 36 narrates.
The marriage of Lord Shiva and Goddess Uma
Chapter 36 narrates the creation of Lord Shiva's abode in the Himalayas through an allegory involving Lord Shiva and Goddess Uma. According to this allegory the divine marriage of Lord Shiva and Goddess Uma created so much Tejah or energy that the Gods became concerned about the safety of the universe and approached Lord Brahma. Lord Brahma saw that a hundred cosmic years had passed by since the union of Lord Shiva and Goddess Uma and requested Lord Shiva to restrain Himself. So Lord Shiva restrained Himself and let His energy fall on earth.But the energy was too much for the earth to bear and so the Gods requested Lord Agni and Lord Vayu to intervene and control the energy. As a result a white mountain and a divine forest of reed was created and Lord Kartikeya was born.But Goddess Uma became furious as she was deprived of motherhood and cursed the Gods to be childless.She also cursed the earth to be deformed, to be ruled by many masters and to be deprived of peace on account of her children. Thus Lord Shiva's energy was brought under control and He went away to the direction of Lord Varuna's realm after seeing the plight of the Gods.Then He went to the north of the Himalayas and began to meditate along with Goddess Uma on top of the Himalayas.
The western scholars who have translated this chapter into English have messed it up completely out of their ignorance and prejudice in order to ridicule our culture.They have translated the Sanskrit word Tejah as semen and branded us as phallic worshippers !!!!!!!
First of all, the Sanskrit word Tejah means cosmic energy and this chapter is an allegory in the manner of the verses of the Holy RigVeda. These allegorical verses have three different layers of meanings which are all true simultaneously.One layer called AdiBhautikam has physical meaning,another layer called AdiDaivatam has divine meaning and Adhmatyikam has spiritual meaning. The prolonged union of Lord Shiva and Goddess Uma for 100 cosmic years is an allusion for high octane energy build up in the constellation Orion or KalPurusha that threatened the balance of energy in the universe and so to maintain equilibrium massive amount of energy or Tejah was released from Orion. This resulted in a massive meteor shower on earth, especially in the Himalayas as it is the highest point on earth,causing changes in the environment.The intervention of Lord Agni and Lord Vayu syombolizes the atmopheric changes that took place as a result of this meteor shower.These meteorites contained DNA,the building block of life and many rare earth materials that emanate cosmic energy.This meteor shower or Tejah of Lord Shiva created new life on earth syombolized by the white mountain or ecological pyramid and forest of reed or Cannabis, the necter of Immortality. People started worshipping these meteorites to harness the cosmic energy within the meteorites. Today these meteorites are known as Jyotirlingam or Shiva Lingam which we worship. (Yes, you read it right ).

The birth of Lord Kartikeya to Lord Shiva having a bull banner syombolizes the appearance of the planet Mars aligned with the Krittika Nakshatra or Pleiades asterism in the Taurus constellation or the divine bull Nandi who faces Orion. Now you know why every Lord Shiva temple has the statue of Nandi bull. The placement of Nandi bull in front of Lord Shiva simply imitates the astral configuration of Taurus in front of Orion. The alignment of planet Mars and the Pleiades asterism in the Taurus constellation produced a bright light in the sky like a white mountain as mentioned in this chapter. The planet Mars personified as Lord Kartikeya was not born from the Orion constellation or union of Lord Shiva and Goddess Uma and thus was motherless.Goddess Uma's curse symbolizes the negative effects of the Krittika Nakshatra or Pleiades asterism on children born during the prominence of this Nakshatra.Male children born under its sway are usually sterile, violent and unhappy in nature and so the earth never had any peace on account of such children.
Lord Shiva's progress to the realm of Lord Varuna signifies the appearance of the Ardra Nakshatra or Betelgeuse star in the Orion constellation. Lord Shiva's meditation on the northern side of the Himalayas symbolizes His earthly presence in Mount Kailash.

Now, let us look at the three different layers of meanings hidden in this chapter. The cosmic presence of the Orion constellation or KalPurusha is the AdiDaivatam or divine meaning, the earthly presence of Mount Kailash is the AdiBhautikam or physical meaning and the human body serving as the Microcosm of the universe is the Adhmatyikam or spiritual meaning.
Mount Kailash is a step pyramid
The union of Shiva and Shakti in the Pineal gland inside the human brain signifies higher consciousness
The Kailash pyramid has been designed as per the proportions of the human brain with the Pineal gland at its centre because the human body is the Microcosm of the universe. The Kailash pyramid not only serves as a repository of cosmic energy but also as a portal to cosmic consciousness.
This animated picture shows the location of the Pineal gland inside the human brain. The inner core of the Kailash pyramid has a portal to higher dimensions similar to the Pineal gland inside the human brain. The Pineal gland can create altered state of consciousness in a Kundalini Shakti awakened Yogi and open the gateway to heaven.
This architectural diagram of a temple spire gives a clue about the interiors of Mount Kailash.
These temple spires imitates the interiors of Mount Kailash.
Mount Kailash is the world's oldest and largest pyramid built for Lord Shiva as His abode and it is the only peak in the world where people are not allowed to climb even today. The pilgrims who go for the annual Kailash pilgrimage report unusual fast growth of nails and hair during the ritual circumambulation of the sacred pyramid. The energy that causes it is the nuclear energy from the the reactors inside.The Shiva Lingam can be considered a scale model of a nuclear reactor. It is well known that meteorites emanate energy and water needs to poured over it to cool it just like a nuclear reactor. The water that is poured over the sacred meteorite Shiva Lingam is given to the pilgrims as sacrament as the water imbibes healing properties by coming into contact with the meteorite.
Mount Kailash is not a mountain, it is a pyramid aligned with the Orion constellation and serves as a portal to Orion. It must be noted that the stars, asterisms and constellations project cosmic energy on the earth and influence all life on earth. But people need a system to harness the cosmic energy for the welfare of humanity. So the Gods created the science of Vastu Shastra that harnesses cosmic energy by the use of sacred geometry. The pyramid harnesses more cosmic energy than any other geometric patterns and so Lord Vishwakarma built the pyramid on top of the Himalayas known as Mount Kailash.Mount Kailash generates Scalar energy similar to that emitted by the Orion constellation and hence is a replica or scale model of the Orion. It taps the magnetic energy of the earth,converts it into Scalar energy and projects it straight to Orion creating a Stargate between the earth and Orion.Mount Kailash also represents the symbolic union of Lord Shiva and Goddess Uma as it is the meeting place of Himalaya's magnetic energy and Orion's cosmic energy.It is important to note that the Himalayas are situated in an area of high tectonic activity that releases high amount of energy often causing massive earthquakes. In esoteric terms it is known as the Pineal gland of the earth, the earth being a conscious entity.Mount Kailash was built on top of the Himalayas to create cosmic consciousness among the Gods and men alike.On a spiritual level it also causes the Kundalini Shakti of people to rise to the uppermost Shahasrara Chakra. The Gods used the Scalar energy generated inside the pyramid to make Scalar energy weapons.This pyramid was put in charge of Lord Shiva.So we see that Lord Shiva also had a physical presence in the Himalayas apart from His celestial presence in the Orion constellation or KalPurusha.Mount Kailash plays a significant role in the Holy Ramayan as the Gods used the Scalar energy hidden in the pyramid against the Asuras as shall see in the course of this long blog series.
This photo crearly shows that the stone surface of Mount Kailash is quite different from the surrounding rocks and is a 8 sided step pyramid built after clearing the surrounding rocks,forming a channel around it.It actually looks like a Shiva Lingam.

This sculpture from ancient India is a depiction of the DNA that came from the Shiva Lingam or meteorite. Please notice the striking similarity of the double helix serpents with the DNA strand. The sculpture also represents the Kundalini Shakti that remains coiled at the base of the human spinal cord and when awakened through Yoga it activates the Pineal gland inside the brain and creates altered state of consciousness.So it syombolizes both physical creation and spiritual awakening.
Chapter 37 narrates the birth of Lord Kartikeya through an allegory involving Lord Agni and Goddess Ganga.According to this allegory the Gods approached Lord Brahma to create a new leader of the celestial armies as Lord Shiva and Goddess Uma were busy meditating on Mount Kailash.So Lord Brahma asked Lord Agni to create a divine Magic Child in the womb of Goddess Ganga.The Gods then went to Mount Kailash and requested Lord Agni to produce the Magic Child.Lord Agni then approached Goddess Ganga for bearing the child but she was unable sustain the foetus in her womb and so she spilled the foetus on the Himalayas. This foetus metamorphosed into gold after descending on the Himalayas and created more gold,silver,copper,iron and lead. The foetus also transformed the Himalayan reed forest into gold.Then Lord Kartikeya was born from that foetus and Lord Indra along with the MarutGanas asked the Krittikas to suckle the child. The child was called Kartikeya because he was suckled by the Krittikas and also called Skanda because he was spilled on the earth by Goddess Ganga.The child became 6 faced to simultaneously drink the milk of the 6 Krittikas and thus became very powerful within a short time and defeated the demons. So Lord Agni anointed him as the new chief of the celestial armies.
The western scholars who have translated this chapter into English have messed it up as usual out of ignorance and prejudice in order to ridicule our culture.They have portrayed Goddess Ganga as a woman, Lord Agni as a man and river Ganga as the birthplace of miscarried Lord Kartikeya !!!!!!!

I have already explained in the detailed discussion of chapter 36 that the birth of Lord Kartikeya is a cosmic allegory for the appearance of planet Mars in conjunction with the Pleiades asterism or Krittika Nakshatra in the Taurus constellation or Nandi bull. The Krittika Nakshatra appears as a bright light in the night sky and is an allegory for Lord Agni.There are 6 bright stars in this asterism visible to the eye and so are also known as the 6 mothers.The asterism also appears as a cutting blade of a spear if the stars are joined by an imaginary line and therefore are called Krittika or cutter in Sanskrit.Goddess Ganga referred to in this allegory is Akasha Ganga or the Milky Way galaxy.Lord Agni or Krittika Nakshatra begot a child on this Akasha Ganga.It means that the planet Mars emerged from the Milky Way at certain time in remote antiquity when the Krittika Nakshatra was ascendant in the Taurus constellation.This cosmic event caused a meteor shower on the Himalayas symbolized by the unrest of Goddess Ganga and subsequent spilling of the foetus on the Himalayas.These meteorites that fell on the Himalayas as a result of the meteor shower contained many precious metals as I have already explained in this blog. Mount Kailash being full of precious metals is an allusion to this meteor shower as the Gods used these meteorites to extract precious and rare earth materials. Mount Kailash is a pyramid with an inbuilt laboratory where the Gods harnessed the earth's magnetic energy and created Scalar energy weapons as I have already pointed out.This has been symbolized by the transformation of the Himalayan reed forest into gold.Lord Kartikeya's 6 mouths is an allegory for the 6 Krittika Nakshatras. The anointing of Lord Kartikeya as the chief of the celestial armies is an allegory for the destructive cosmic energy that emanates from planet Mars which is universally accepted as the God of war.
Lord Kartikeya
In Chapter 38 Sage Vishwamitra begins to narrate the history of King Sagar who was an ancestor of Lord Ram and ruled from Ayodhya.King Sagar had two wives named Keshini, the daughter of the king of Vidarbha and Sumati, the daughter of Sage Arishtanemi. Sumati was also the sister of Lord Garuda.King Sagar was childless and so he went to the abode of Sage Bhrigu in the Himalayas known as Bhrigu Prasravana and started to meditate along with his wives. Sage Bhrigu was pleased at his devotion and gave him a boon of children.The Sage said that one of the queens would bear one child who would carry forward the dynasty and the other would bear sixty thousand sons.He asked both the queens to choose between the two options. Queen Keshini chose to have one child who would carry forward the dynasty and Queen Sumati chose to have sixty thousand sons. The Sage basically performed a Putrakameshthi Yagya and both the queens conceived in due time. Queen Keshini gave birth to a son and named him Asamanja.Queen Sumati mysteriously gave birth to a gourd which divided into sixty thousand embryos and each embryo was placed inside a jar full of Ghee and after a long time sixty thousand sons came out of these jars.This is an allegory for Alchemy and genetic engineering that produced children in test tubes after the queen miscarried.The number sixty thousand is symbolic and not literal - meaning 60 sons with the energy of thousand sons each.The Gods and Sages of ancient India perfected genetic engineering far beyond modern standards and produced Alchemical Magic Children in jars or test tubes.(Yes,you read it right ) .
King Sagar's elder son Asamanja grew up to be a tyrant and amused himself by throwing small children in the Sarayu river and drowning them.So the king exiled him from his kingdom. But Asamanja's son Anshuman grew up to be a virtuous man. King Sagar was pleased with the conduct of his sixty thousand sons and decided to perform the Ashwamedha Yaga.
Lord Garuda
Lord Garuda is not just the conscious Vimana of Lord Vishnu, he is also an allegory for Vedic Alchemy. The Vedic Alchemical process called Atiratra Yaga was regularly performed over a Garuda shaped fire alter by the Gods and Sages alike to produce the Elixir of Immortality called Amrita during the Vedic era.Lord Garuda's sister Sumati's sixty thousand sons is an allegory for Vedic Alchemy that produced numerous test tube babies by harnessing cosmic energy.
To be continued .......
In the end I just like to say that we need the Lord more than ever before. Five thousand years have passed since the end of the Kurukshetra war and our country has lost 80% of her territory and wealth. Only the Lord can make Bharat Varsha great again in the form of Kalki Avatar.
Come back O Lord and save us.
