LORD NARAYANA |

Who is the FIRST MYSTERIOUS BRAHMACHAARI ? This mysterious path of Brahmacharya is completely different from what the present-day Caste Hindus practise. Of course, in this material world, a material worldly Brahmachaari by conteolling senses and by observing celebacy and austerity, may master his self. But this will lead only to Self-righteousness. But the real Brahmacharya as expounded in the about text seems to be very deeper in the spiritual field to attain immortality. We know the Brahma is the First of the Creations of God. But here it is said that there is ONE who is born before BRAHMA ! ! ! He is arrayed in sacrificial libation (offered as AADI BALI - FIRST SACRIFICE before the creation of universe), rose up through tapas-spiritual power. The Holy Wisdom of God is revealed by HIM only, through that grerat AADI BALI. By that sacrifice only, He became PARABRAHMA, The Lord Creator of all universe, and of the glorious divine beings ( who are the partakers of AADI BALI who are glorified to live with Him forever). This clearly denotes that the Path of Supreme Sacrifice is the real Brahmacharya, the Path of Creator. By accepting the Sacricice AADI BALI we become brahmacharis and now by accepting the TRUTH that The Same Person The Firstborn has come down as KALKI, Son of Manas Bridegroom, we have become His Bride, His Household. It does not mean that only now we have become His Bride in His Original Creation, even now in these last days, when He has come down as Man, we too accept Him as our Bridegroom, because we are His Wife, His household. It is said in Vedas that the gods (enlightened beings of heaven) became eternal through the Brahmacharya (A.V.XI.9:17-19).

"Brahmacharyena tapasa devaa mrityum
apaaghnatah". means
"By the spiritual effort of Brahmacharya,
devaas (the Shining Ones) drove away death from
them". What else can this Brahmacharya be, but the Path of the Creator who offered Himself as AADI BALI, being offered by all the gods (Bride Members and the Household of God in Heaven) before the foundation of the world ! ! ! Through this Sacrifice only they got that glory and power to occupy heavens. The Deity of Spiritual Knowledge is BRIHASPATI or BRAHMANASPATI, Lord of Wisdom.

"We call on Thee, The LORD OF HOSTS
(GANAPATI), The Poet of poets, the most famous of
all; The Supreme King of Spiritual Knowledge, O
Lord of Spiritual Wisdom (Brahmanaspati) Listen to us with Your grace, and SIT IN THE
PLACE OF SACRIFICE". "Richo Akshare parame

Eternal (The Subject) of the (Vedic) Hymn existing on the supreme
region; In which all Shining Ones have their
being; What will He do with the (Vedic) hymn who does
not know That ? But those who have known That - They are perfect " -
In Vedas, AKSHARA means Indestructible, "Yad Aksharam veda-vido vadanti" - Bhagavad Gita.8:11 - "That which the knowers of Veda speak of al Indestructible". "Aksharam Brahma Paramam" - Bhagavad Gita.8:3 --- "The Supreme Indestructible is Brahma, The Supreme Being". Bhagavad Gita:15:16; "Dvaavimau purushau loke kdsharascha - Akshara eva cha Ksharah sarva bhootaani kootastho Akshara uchayate" "The perishable and the imperishable (AKSHARA) - these are the two kinds of PURUSHAS in this world. Of these, the bodies of all beings are spoken of as perishable; while The Embodied Souls (Supreme Purusha) is indestructible". The Supreme Abode is "PARME VYOMAN" - "Yo asyaadhyakshah Parame vyoman"--R.X.129:7:----"He who presides over all this in the Supreme Abode". This is the central pivotal point of Jnana Yoga, The Path of Knowledge, and the main theme of Veda. Veda means to know (Vid - to know). It is the knowledge of God that is needed, not just the word of Veda (Rk). Hence just memorizing Vedas without knowing the meaning or without having the proper revelationof Vedas is futile attempt in spiritual guest for knowing That Supreme Being AKSHARA. But Vedas, Karmakanda demands the efficiency of the Vedic Mantras only, whereas Bhagavad Gita rightly critizes such Karmakanda followers. The Ultimate Reality AKSHARA is recognized as the Subject of Vedas (Rks) throughout the ages in India (Bh.Gita.8:11). "Vadais cha sarvair aham eva vedyo" - Bh.Gita.15:15. "I am the Only Object worth knowing through the Vedas (Scriptures)". Only the Vedas (Scriptures) reveal God as Indestructible. If God is without any form and is to be The Only Supreme Spirit, the stress on the word INDESTRUCTIBLE is not necessary. A strong man does not require a protection. He can take care of himself. Only a weak man will get credit of honour when he overcomes all the strong oppositions, inspite of the fact that he is weak. Smilarly, the position of The Unseen Spirit is unapproachable to anybody, be it for light or any other matter. But the greatness of God lies in this fact, that even though being in the Form of That man, AADI PURUSHA, FIRSTBORN, yet He is indestructible. This can be the nearest explanation that can be given to the Central Theme of Vedas that

"AKSHARE PARAME
VYOMAN" -- (R.V.I.164:39) means
"The Indestructible exists in Supreme
Abode". The FIRSTBORN, AADI PURUSHA, NARAYANA, exists in the Supreme Region beyond Universe in human form, but yet is indestructible. This realisation of God as Eternal, Indestructible and yet in human form, is very peculiar and is only found in Vedic Scriptures. That is why it is said that:

"Vaasudevo
idam agra asin na Brahma na cha Shankara;
Eko Naarayanaasin na Brahma na
Ishaana". means
"Only Vaasudeva exists, neither Brahma nor
Shankara;
Narayana alone exists as Chief; neither Brahma nor
Ishaana". Even Aadi Shankara Bhagavatpada confirms in his Commentary on Gita that NARAYANA is transcendental to all creations. The same Narayana (Christ Jesus) expresses Himself as Rama, Krishna, Jesus and now as Son of Man, KALKI. All the previous incarnations of God are subject to the natural death, whereas this Kalki is the very Narayana in His Own Body. The same Narayana (Christ Jesus) comes as a human being in the Royal Line in His own indestructible form fulfilling all the prophecies in the Scriptures of the world. God is for all. The same Narayana is called as Yehovah (YHVH) by the Hebrews, Allah by the Muslims, Christ Jesus by the Christians and as Krishna by the Hindus. He is the One and the Same Person, God. The Desire of all nations that has come down in His own human body. This is the secret wisdom hidden in all the Scriptures but revealed in these last days by the very Lord God who has come down.
( T H E P A T H O F M Y S T I C I S M ) The Vedic Scholars consider the Path of Mysticism (Raja Yoga) as a stage of Jnana Yoga, the path of knowledge. In this path of Raja Yoga, one experience the Divine Personality (PURUSHA) and therefore Raja Yoga is the Path of personal spiritual realization SATYAM, The Truth is called as That which is obtained (AAPTA) by the Vedic process as given below.
Thus Brahmacharya, the simple control of sex energy is not sufficient to obtain the SATYAM, the knowledge of The Ultimate Reality of Divine Purusha; but only through steady spiritual growth till the stage to meet TRUTH face to face in glory. THIS IS RAJA YOGA. Many people boast themselves to have attained this Stage. If so, they ought to have accepted the Truth that The Lord God Almighty has now come down as human person is His own form SAUMYA ROOPAM). Because He is the King of the future DHARMA YUGA, naturally, when He is just a Prince only, these so-called Raja yogisought to have seen Him face to face either in person or in spirit. But unfortunately most of them do not give a correct identification of Kalki (only Veda Vyasa has clearly written in his Puranas about Kalki). But God as revealed Himself to us in these last days through AADI BALI (FIRST SACRIFICE). For us His Path of Supreme Sacrifice Narayana (also known as Christ Jesus or Allah). This section here deals with the Vedic verses revealed by God in connection with Raja Yoga in the light of the AADI BALI (FIRST SACRIFICE). The above Vedic text quoted in the beginning of this section, says that a person by his self-determination earnestly dedicates himself to this higher spiritual path of realisation of Supreme Eternal Monarch of Universe, SATYAM THE TRUTH. By his dedication(Vratam) he enteres into a spiritual ordainment (Diksha). This Diksha does not mean Sanyasa or Renouncement as the Sanyasis for Renouncists propogate. Diksha or ordainment is a commitment by a seeker (Sadhaka) through dedication in spiritual discipline concerned. Thus he obtains spiritual grace and refinement or purification. The spiritual grace and purification will lead him to the stage of reverence or Spiritual zealousness (shraddha). Through this spiritual zealousness or Zeal only, the Supreme Realization of TRUTH is obtained or experienced by any person. This is the Authoritative Vedic Process of Spiritual Realization of GODHEAD, Who is ONE ONLY, THE TRUTH (SATYAM), THE LIFE (SHIVAM), THE EVER BLISS BEAUTIFUL (ANANDAM), THE SUPREME PURUSHA. The Advaitists realize God as Impersonal Truth - Reality. The Dvaitis realize The Same TRUTH both as Impersonal Brahman as well as The Ever Beautiful LORD in definite conceivable Form, always ready to be worshipped or served by His disciples. According to them, The Lord is in a completely different plane from the human beings even though He too appears in His Transcendental Human Form. The Vedic sage speaks thus of the direct experience of the Supreme Purusha in his personal realization.
Thus this vedic sage categorically declares that a real Raja Yogi is the Overcomer of death. But to our dismay, no rajayogi of 20th Century has so far declared that he has overcome death. They conveniently resort to the shelter of Bhagavat Gita: "Jaatasya dhruvo mrityuh dhruvam janma mrutasya cha" ("Death is certain for the born, and even the dead shall be born again" - (When?) - Bh.Gita.2:27), but they shrug at the Vedic Truth that YOU CAN OVERCOME DEATH ONLY THROUGH THE SUPREME PURUSHA NARAYANA. The same NARAYANA came as JESUS and that is why death could not swallow Him. NARAYANA IS CHRIST JESUS. All the human avatars (incarnations) died or passed away after their functions. But Narayana is eternal, immortal. In Kali Yuga He is known as CHRIST JESUS, even according to Veda Vyasa in his Bhavishya Purana. Fulfilling the prophecy of Veda Vyasa and all the prophets of God raised in the whole universe, The Lord has come down on the 21st July 1969 (MOON-LANDING DAY) into His chosen Vessel in the Royal Line of AVIRAM (ABRAHAM). The ancient king of Bharata-varsha in Kali Yuga. He is both King and Priest in that tradition. A real religion, if any, ought to have this spiritual realization of overcoming physical death, by the complete faith in the ONE who is deathless, immortal, eternal LORD OF GLORY. We, as normal human beings, always prone to sin, can never achieve that state of deathlessness through any of our herculean efforts of meditation, or penance. But by trusting THAT ONE IMMORTAL DIVINE PARAMAPURUSHA, in full faith, by absolute surrender to Him, we all will overcome, death. This is the mystery of this Supreme Sacrifice of the PARAMA PURUSHA, by believing which we overcome death. That is why Rig Veda I.164:46 PEOPLE CALL HIM AS MANY". - vide Rig. Veda X.114:5: "EKAM SAD VIPRAAH BAHUDHA VADANTI" -- "ONE EXISTS, BUT THE PEOPLE CALL HIM AS MANY". - vide Rig.Veda.X.114.5: "EKAM SANTAH BAHUDHA KALPAYANTI", which means, "Though He is one, He is imagined by people as many". Rig Veda. X.129:1-2:
This Vedic hymn clearly tells the existence of ONE DIVINE BEING breathing well before the creation of the Universe. For the purpose of creation, TAT, that Supreme Spirit becomes PRAJAPATI (Lord of Creations), THE FIRSTBORN.

People are not at all aware of the revolutionary concept of Almighty God as in Vedas. Even the Vedic scholars purposely hid the important truth of God-Head from the common man. This important text is quoted here for the enlightenment of all mankind.

each other; All that, God, THE KING, knows; HE IS THE
THIRD PRESENT THERE". All the four Vedas categorically describe the FIRSTBORN NARAYANA as PURUSHA OR PARAMA PURUSHA OR PURUSHOTTAMA -

X.90:2 means
"PURUSHA is all that has been and that will
be; And He is the LORD OF IMMORTALITY which
transcends through ANNAM (SACRIFICE) ".
Here Annam means the Sacrifice of His Own Self by which He transcends through ANNAM (SACRIFICE)". Here Annam means the Sacrifice of His Own Self by which He transcends up in glory. Thus The Supreme Purusha, creates this material universe to express Himself and His glory is manifested through His creation. Therefore He is called BHAGAVAN, Lord of glory. The world may call many as bhagavans, but there is only one BHAGAVAN, THE FIRSTBORN, SUPREME PURUSHA, NARAYANA who is also called as Christ Jesus, Allah, etc., who is the Lord of Immortality. But all the other imposter bhagavans have to face death and condemnation in the hands of That Parama Purusha, who is A MAN as explained in Vedic Hymn.
Vaasudeva means God who is Omnipresent.

"That Supreme Person (Purusha) is not
impersonal and therefore is distinctively a nara (Person).
Therefore the transcendental water created from the Supreme Nara is
known as Nara. And because He lies down on that water, He is
known as NAARAAYANA ".
Here the Veda confirms that Creation proceeded from this AADI BALI. Please go through the entire chapter for further enlightenment.

A ( T H E P A T H O F S P L E N D O U R ) Vibuti Yoga (Path of Splendour) implies the presence of Divine Being in all splendour elements. Vibhuti Yoga is the Path of Poetic sages (Kavis) whereas Raja Yoga is for the recluse seers and munis and Yogis. Light (JYOTI) is the source of all splendour. Light is the symbol for the Glory of the Spirit and it stands for Truth (Satyam), Order (Rta), Goodness or welfare (Svasti), glory or wealth (Shri), Beauty (Charuta), Intelligence (Dhi), Wisdom (Krta), Bliss (Bhadram), Immortality or Deathlessness (Amritam), for God (Devam), and for noble man (ARYA); but DASYUS (Tamas) stands for all the opposite of Light (Jyoti), for untruth (Asatya), disorder for chaos (Anrita), unreality (Asad), evil (Ashiv or Durita), ugly (ashri), ignorance (avidya), death (mrityu), for demon (Vritra) and for all the wicked man (dasyus or dasas). Fire (Agni), Sun (Surya), Moon (Soma), The Dawn (Usha), etc., are associated with the Light (Jyoti).
Vibuti Yoga is famous among Vedic Scholars in its peculiarity in combining both physical and material aspects with the spiritual aspect of Divinity. It describes the material form of the Divine aspect of Divinity. It describes the material form of the Divine Being (Purusha) on one hand but also leads to the highest spiritual abstract state of Divinity. Though this hymn refers to Sun(Aditya) in material plane, but in spiritual sense, this refers to the Supreme Purusha and His presence being Omnipresent is clearly described here. Here in this hymn, Sun and Swan are not just material beings, but they symbolise the Supreme Purusha who is the Source of Light (Jyotiswarupi Hari) and as the heavenly being (Swan). This Supreme Purusha is considered to be ageless, ever youth.
It is well known among vedic scholars that none of the Vedic deities have the capacity to be born as eternal human beings. Only one Person is both man as well as God and He is NARAYANA. Because He controls the reins of the universe, He is called as INDRA. Also in Bhagavatam, it is said that there is a finite age for all celestial beings after which they will merge in Pralayam into Paramapurusha. But in this vedic hymn, the person, the Deity Indra is said to have a human body (Tanu). Because the vedic sage sees the Supreme Purusha in His own Human Body, which even though appears to be like a perishable many form, yet because of its capacity to hold the Fullness of Spirit of Almighty God, The Lord of Light, as becoming youth with age. That means, as a prophet, the vedic sage has seen this human body of Lord Narayana which comes in the last days of Kali Yuga as Kalki Avatar, The Parama Purusha but yet who was The FIRST BORN. Really the Vedas contain the Mystery of Godhead which only Narayana can reveal, which He is doing now to His own people whom He created with Him and in Him before the creation of Universe.
But the actual meaning of YAJNIYAM means the power attained through Yajna (Sacrifice). This Vedic hymn tells clearly the secret of power of The Supreme Purusha, who eventhough a NARA (MAN), yet, is the Most Holy Person, because by virtue of His capacity to take a human form without any human connection, He is Holy. More than this, when He offered Himself in His own Body for our sake before the creation of universe, He made all His people in Him as holy, even though they have to take up the mortal bodies. God is considered as the King of Universe (R.V.VIII.43:24, III.46:2) as the Almighty Person (R.V.VIII.45:6), as the Most Terrible (R.V.VIII.45:35), as the Forgiver of Sin (R.V.VIII.45:34), which are characteristics of Semitic Beliefs. The Supreme Purusha is also described as COMFORTER (R.V.IV.20:9).
Here, The Supreme Purusha is described as AGNI - FIRE, This clears the doubt among the people about His capacity both as Sacrifice as well as Sacrificer and the Accepter of Sacrifice. As God, He accepted the Supreme Sacrifice; As the Sacrifice Being, He offered Himself in that Sacrifice; As Offerer and Minister of Sacrifice, He and His people took part in that Sacrifice ceremony. As High Priest, He performed that Sacrifice. Lastly He is the One who rose in that same body but now filled or possessed by the Fullness of the Spirit of Almighty God as the Bestower of His Peculiar Treasure, IMMORTALITY to His followers. The Supreme Lord is described as given below in Veas, typical of Vibhuti-Yoga.
To discover the things, One has to first forget or forego the same. Similarly the Supreme Purusha when He comes down to earth as a normal human being, has to forget His Supreme Prowess as Creator, Protector and the Consummator of The Universe, and He has to get the Revelation of Himself and about His unlimited Almighty Power, as HE IS THE VERY GOD HIMSELF, right from the times immemorial. This Vedic hymn clearly prophesies the Advent of Narayana as Kalki as the Eternal King of the World, as a MAN.

"Vishvedete janimaa sam

" All that exists these two
(sky & earth) keep asunder; though bearing the mighty Devas, they
suffer not. ONE LORD IS ALL of what moves and
what is fixed, of what walks, what files, -- this
multiform creation".
Thus The Vedas clearly reveal the Divine Purusha both in material plane as well as in Spiritual Plane. THERE IS ONE ALONE, NO SECOND.

It can also be translated as: "IT ALONE (TAD EKAM) breathed airless by self-impulse; Apart from TAT was nothing whatsoever". IT (TAT), THE DIVINE PURUSHA, the Vedic conception of Ultimate Reality but this state was before the Same expressed ITSELF as FIRSTBORN PURUSHA, NARAYANA (CHRIST JESUS). The Essence of Vibhuti Yoga is to realise the Divine Being, The Supreme Purusha as Glorious Being both as Human as well as Heavenly Being.
