TEMPLES, STATUES AND YANTRAAS – REAL INTERPRETATION

TEMPLES, STATUES AND YANTRAAS – REAL INTERPRETATION

 

The original Hindu tradition in the ancient times when Rishis (Sages) existed

was the most precious diamond in the world. There is no trace of doubt in this

statement. But today the tradition has become the charcoal. Perhaps many of you

do not know that diamond and charcoal are only the two forms of same element,

carbon. When the carbon atoms are in crystalline state it is diamond. The same

carbon atoms in amorphous state is charcoal. The substance is same but the

arrangement of atoms differs. Therefore the same tradition was re-arranged and

was twisted. The tradition lost its shining of diamond and has achieved the

black color. The diamond is very strong and cannot be cut. But the charcoal is

easily broken. Thus the strength of the ancient tradition is completely lost.

 

 

In the ancient days sages meditated upon the objects present in the nature

keeping them as representative models of the Lord. In those days the Lord did

not come in Human form. The sages were fully equipped with right knowledge. If

there was a doubt they used to go straight into the upper world and clarify from

the Lord directly. There was no necessity of propagation of divine knowledge on

the earth. The knowledge is Satvam (good) quality. It creates shining as said in

Gita (Prakasa Upa Jaayate). Therefore the Sun and the fire were treated as

models of the Lord. The light in Sun and fire was treated as the divine

knowledge of the Lord. As the light throws away the darkness, the divine

knowledge of the Lord throws away the ignorance. The meaning of model is that we

can know the real concept with the help of that model. You are showing a flower

with your indicating finger. When you see the flower you will not see the finger

any more. Similarly when the concept is understood the model

is left. But the model is preserved for the sake of other ignorant people. When

you see the flower the finger is not destroyed. For you there is no need of the

finger any more. So when the divine knowledge of the Lord is understood there is

no need of Sun and Fire. Meditation means deep thinking and analysis. This means

knowing the concept completely. Meditation is the property of intelligence and

knowledge is the essence of intelligence. Therefore to know the knowledge

completely without any doubt is the process of intelligence. The knowledge in

the doubting state is the property of the mind. Veda said that one should

meditate upon the Sun treating the Sun as the Lord (Adityam Brahmeti). This

means you must see the Sun and understand that the real form of the Lord is the

divine knowledge. The Sun is a condensed light. Similarly the Lord is a

condensed knowledge as said in Veda (Prajnana Ghanah). The Sun is a simile or a

model for the concept (Prateeka). But ignorant people started

meditating upon the circle of the Sun. Some more mad people started worshipping

the Sun by offering water. Veda clearly stated that the Sun is not the Lord

(Nedam Tat, Neti neti). Veda said very clearly that the Lord will not enter any

inert object (Natasya Pratima). The Sun is an inert object, which is under the

control of the Lord as said in Veda (Bhishodeti Suryah). Bhagavatgita condemned

seriously the worship of such inert objects which are only the models standing

for the concepts. Gita stated so in a very pungent way that one who worships an

inert object will be born as an inert object in the next birth (Bhutejya Yaanti

Bhutani). A Sanyasi who is the highest realized soul (Jnani) never offers water

to the Sun. The praise is the model is always the praise of the Lord due to the

similarity. Though the praise of the Sun the Lord is praised. When you praise

stating that the light of the Sun is very bright it means that the knowledge of

the Lord is very bright.

 

Slowly the time of sages was gone. In the place of the sages Scholars came.

These scholars know every thing. They used to practice the spiritual knowledge

to their level best. But in some places they failed to practice. They should

have accepted their failure with all frankness. But due to their scholastic

ability they misinterpreted the scriptures and covered their inability so that

they convinced the public that they are following fully the scriptures. The Lord

came down in Human form and started condemning such misinterpretations and

preached the right knowledge. Such Human incarnations, were represented by the

statues. Thus a statue of Rama gives the concept of Human incarnation. A statue

is never a man in general in any temple. That indicates that the Lord is coming

in Human form and such a man is only the Lord. This means that every man is not

the Lord. Only a particular Human being like Rama is only the Lord. Thus the

statue gives the concept of the Human incarnation which

comes in every generation. The God is not partial to any particular human

generation. The statue in the temple was always associated with initiation of

life (Prana Pratistha) whenever the temple was built. The initiation of life in

the inert statue indicates that you should catch the living Human incarnation

present in your present generation. You should not mistake that the life has

entered the statue. If so why the statue does not move or talk? If the life

initiation has that much capacity why don’t you use the same to make a dead body

alive? Therefore the real concept indicated by the life initiation is gone. A

misinterpretation entered.

 

It is said that the body of the Human incarnation is the real temple and the

soul in the body is the Lord. In ordinary human beings the soul lives in the

body. In Human incarnation, the Lord lives in the body. Bhagavatgita clearly

said that the Lord comes only in Human form (Maanusheem Tanu masritam). Gita did

not mention that the Lord comes in any other form. Gita also said that the Lord

comes in Human form in every generation (Sambhavaami Yuge Yuge). The word Yuga

means a Human generation. Otherwise if the Lord comes only in a particular human

generation, He becomes partial. The outer wall of the temple indicates the gross

body (Sthula Sareera). The temple indicates the minute body (Sukshma Sareera).

The inner temple indicates the cause-body (Karana Sareera). The statue inside

the inner temple indicates the Lord with His Maya. You can never cross the Maya

and see the inner most absolute Brahman. Gita says that no one can cross the

Maya (Mama Maayaa Duratyayaa). Let us take the

temple of Rama. Rama means He who enjoys. The outer gross body is the son of

Dasaratha, made of five elements, enjoying in this world. The temple, which is

the minute body is Lord Vishnu, made of light enjoying the quality of Satvam.

The inner temple, which is the cause-body is Lord Datta made of Light enjoying

the three qualities (Satvam, Rajas and Tamas). The statue inside the inner

temple is Brahman enjoying the Maya. We can go up to this, which is called

‘Saguna Brahman’. We cannot cross the Maya and touch the ‘Nirguna Brahman’,

which is without Maya. This is the concept given by a temple. When this concept

is realized in a temple, then the temple becomes the temple of knowledge (Jnana

Mandiram). The Brahman is the true infinite knowledge as said in Veda (Satyam

Jnaanam Anantham Brahma). Veda also says that the divine knowledge of Brahman is

highly special and no human being can give it (Prajnaanam Brahma). The statue

indicates that you should catch the Human incarnation in your

generation by the sign of the divine knowledge.

 

Yantraas are metallic sheets containing certain special designs, which are

preserved because the palm leaves are perishable. These designs also contain

some letters standing for certain items, which are called ‘Bija Aksharaas’. It

is a circuit diagram indicating a very powerful concept of knowledge explained

by sages. They were preserved in the temple under the statue to preach that

concept. For example let us take a very important Yantram called “Sri Chakram”.

It is a model indicating the bond with money. It gives the formation of the bond

by the ‘Srusti chakram’ (creation) as denoted by ‘Samaya’ sub-sect. Another way

of this Sri Chakram is ‘Samhara Chakram’ (destruction of the bond) as given by

‘Kaula’ sub-sect. These two chakraas give the formation and destruction of the

bond with money. The word Sri means money. The word Chakram means a whirl pool

which stands for the bond. In the first type of Sri Chakram (formation of money

bond) the five triangles of ‘Shakti’ have their bases

towards the upper direction. The four triangles of Siva have their base

downwards. This means that Siva is based on Sakhti. The five triangles represent

the five elements of the creation (Maya). The four triangles represent the four

‘Antahkaranaas’ (mind, intelligence, egoism and memory power) which represent

the knowledge. It is said that Siva gives Knowledge (Jnaanam Maheswaraat

Ichchet). The five elements represent the money. This means that the knowledge

is based on the money. The central point is now Shakti or Maya and this

represents the ignorant Jeeva who is under the control of money or creation. In

the second type of Sri Chakram the above two sets of triangles are just

reversed. The money is based on the knowledge. The Maya is controlled by the

knowledge and this is the state of the Lord who is fully realized called

‘Sarvajna’. Thus the Sri Chakram indicates the two types of souls: 1) Controlled

by Maya and the other Controlling the Maya. If one is controlled by this

whirlpool of money is the ignorant soul. If one controls the whirlpool of money

he is the realized soul and is treated as equal to the Lord almost. The first

cycle is the ordinary ‘Pitruyaanam’ or ‘Dakshinaayanam’. The second cycle is

‘Devayaanam’ or ‘Uttaraayanam’. This is said in Gita.

Can we learn any truth from the present tradition, which we are following?

 

 

 

Yes. If you observe carefully the present tradition itself, you can get the

whole concept without referring to any Holy Scripture. When a householder dies

the rituals are performed and a cow is donated so that the diseased person can

cross ‘Vaitarini’ (river of blood and pus) present before hell. This clearly

shows that every householder is going to hell. The householder is doing Gayatri

Japa, wearing the cross belt, worshipping the inert statues and photos etc.,

When a saint dies such rituals are not performed. This clearly proves that a

saint goes to Brahma Loka and not to the Hell. The saint leaves Gayatri Japa,

throws away the cross belts, does not worship inert statues and photos.

 

 

 

A saint always propagates the divine knowledge in the world. The present

tradition also shows that all the householders prostrate at the feet of the

saint. This shows that the stage of the saint is certainly higher than the stage

of the householder. This shows that everybody should pass from high school to

the college. All the rituals should be protected like the high school for the

future ignorant batches. We never say that since you left the school the school

should be destroyed. We are saying only that you should leave the school and go

to the college i.e., you should not die as a householder but you should die as a

saint. Leaving the house and wearing the saffron cloth are not necessary for a

saint, which are external only. A policeman sometimes does his duty in mufti

without the uniform. An actor wearing the police uniform cannot be the real

police. Therefore any body can become a saint by participating in the

propagation of divine knowledge and working for the welfare of the

entire humanity without the saffron cloth and without leaving the house.

 

 

 

A householder is burning camphor, fume sticks, oil and ghee in the lamps and in

Yajnas causing lot of pollution and stopping the rains. He is harming the

humanity by such foolish deeds, which are not mentioned in Vedas. Some ignorant

preachers fooled public by such deeds and he is not benefited at all. A saint

never does these things because he cannot be fooled since he attained the Jnana.

 

 

 

Therefore confining to the present tradition itself, one can get the true

knowledge without going to the scriptures. The ancient Indian sages (rishis)

who are the real saints set up this tradition. When you do not understand even

the tradition that is before your eyes, how can you understand the Vedas and

Sastras?
