Das Avatars and human evolution-part ii

[Guest guest]

The third Avatar in the series is that of Varaha or a Wild Boar

which actually lives on land but is always in touch with water.

 

Varaha has many references in the Vedas including the Rgveda,

especially as a white Boar (after whom, the present Kalpa is named)

and Yajurveda/ Taittriya samhita and in various puranas. We have

the celebrated Varaha purana as well as the Varha Upanishad(in

Krishna Yajur Veda) However much I like to do, I am not going into

these references now.

 

The Cosmic waters, the expanse of ether , is everywhere in the

universe. They represent the energy, the sustaining power for the

Universe at large as well as its elements. The Bhagavad gita sings

the greatness of the cosmic waters by explaining the ancient wisdom

of Sankhya, as elucidated by Sage Kapila. Lord Narayana represents

this cosmic waters-the word Nara stands for waters.

 

When Hiryanaksha- the Demon with a Golden Vision, a scientist par

excellence of all times – has found a way to dement the world,

perhaps just like the scientists of today who are tinkering with the

environment in a big way for the sake of achieving the selfish ends

of a few Industrialists, the Earth had a sad plight of plunging into

the depths of these cosmic waters. Then, Lord had taken the Avatar

of a Boar to rescue the Earth.

 

Varaha stands for the expansion of the Life onto the earth in a

complete way, without losing their watery roots. In Human

evolution, He goes one step further from the Kurma avatar who was

attached more to water than to earth. That the Avatar

has rescued the Earth shows the responsibility one has, that

proliferation is possible only if one preserves the Nature and not

other wise.

 

Varaha at a psychic level stands for the Intellectual development

of Ideas. It is not sufficient to have Ideas, they need to be

intellectual and sustaining too. In other words, we can not let

Ideas take their own course , whether as a perverted Intellegence

represented by Hiranyaksa or as the abandoned weak loser

represented by the Sinking Earth. The Self ,

indeed, has a responsibility to regain a semblance of Order into

the otherwise unruliness and irresponsibility of the perverted

Intelligence, as represented by the Hirnya ksah – the seer of golden

vision. Very interestingly, the Sun God, who rules over the

Orderliness of the Universe also rules over the Intellect and in

our ancient scriptures, the intellect is represented in a worldly

way by eyes – " chandra ma manaso jatah chakso suryo ajayatah" :

the mind is ruled by Moon and Intellect, (literally Eyes or vision),

by Sun.

 

Hence, if the Kalpa of today is called by the name of Varaha, it is

not without reason. It upholds and represents the values the Varaha

has stood for- the discipline and the orderliness that is required

in one's life and today's world !!

 

In Astrology, 11th House stands for Discipline and Orderliness. Rahu

stands for the temptations and greediness that leads to indiscipline

in one;s life and Parasara rightly points out that Rahu is

controlled by the Varaha Avatar. Sun represents the Orderliness of

life and the spiritual Grahana shows that Rahu, the disorderliness,

eats away the Sun. Scorpio, which represents the baser feelings and

animal instincts, also stands for Varaha. It also represents

proliferation, being a watery sign.

 

This disorderliness is found during the quest of the jiva for

immortality. Believe in God and turn towards the life of

Orderliness and that of Dharma, you will shine like a Sun. If you

are so very materialistic and ready to deceive, against dharma,

(like Rahu has done) or use your perverted intelligence to achieve

your own selfish gains, (as represented by the Illusionary Mohini)

your life will be nothing but a long saga of Grahana or that of

eclipse.

At spiritual level, the Varaha indicates Rituals. Rituals infuses

one with the basic discipline required to follow the Path of Dharma

and Godliness. Thus, rituals form the most important part of any

Sect that One may attend, since they represent the Arudha of

principles and the norms.

So as I understand it, the demon's "golden vision" is a metaphor for

a shining intellect, normally a good thing to have - except when

coupled with adharmic values.

 

Many scientists accept the idea of a huge meteor crashing into the

earth as causing the destruction of the dinosaurs, represented by the

turtle avatar. The climatic changes following the meteoric collision

killed off the huge cold-blooded reptiles and allow the warm-blooded

mammals to proliferate. Mammals have a brain cortex which is the

center of higher emotions and intellect, giving them the basic

ablility to nuture, and protect their offspring. So intelligence came

to the earth, but God had to channel this into a natural order, or

dharma.

 

In a way, a huge meteor or comet crashing into the earth would appear

in the sky as a terrible firery glowing object - a golden vision. The

earth's atmosphere, choked with dust after a catastrophic impact

would seem to be stepping back into the waters of cosmic disillusion.

But the earth is not destroyed and instead the boar, as the next

stage in evolution, delicately balances the earth on its two tusks,

and returns the earth to a new world order... a balance of higher

brain function disiplined by a sense of social order completely

lacking in the reptilian creatures. And so God as the "preserver" of

the world bends the demon's gift or vision, to serve God's own cosmic

purpose and continue the proliferation and evolution of life on

earth.

 

Perhaps the collision shifted the earth's orbit, or the earth began

to wobble, which would set the planet towards self destruction. Then

the Varaha seeks to restore the earth's balance and pull the planet

back from cosmic annihilation. This would relate to us the very

essence of creating balance in our lives as foundational for our

individual evolution.

 

Okay, that's enough brainstorming...

Preston

dear all,

 

I expected a good feed here to these mails on Avatars because each

avatar is in turn related to some aspect of sri Jagannath. i

remember for eg., that Varaha is related to the Bala gopala aspect

of sri krishna but I do not remember for other avatars.

 

I request one and all to contribute their knowledge on these

aspects, especially in specific to astrology.

 

regards,

 

Kishore patnaik

Jaya Jagannatha

 

Dear Kishore,

Namaste

 

The three forms are Krishna, Balaram and Subhadra. My recollections from

Sanjay ji's teaching is that, for Kalasarpa - propitiate Balaram.

 

I am currently reading the Narada pancharatram which states that the

mahamantra is:

 

"gopIjanaballabhAya svAhA" the 10 syllable mantra, said to give strength,

valour, beatifies the body to that of Devas, gives prosperity, the eight

psychic powers, anima and so on.

 

"go" I this case means the 9th house of J~nAna/knowledge, of one who is

realised in Govinda.

 

On the discussion of Sri Varaha avatar, you will note that the outer cakra

of the kalacakra scheme has Mercury as the stabilising planet. In Navagraha

yantra, Mercury is directly placed opposite to Rahu and hence they are dire

enemies.

In this context, for those suffering from Rahu's grip, Vishnu mantras can be

prescribed.

If Moon is afflicted in the chart, prescribe those of the nakshatra

according to the Kurmavibhaga scheme with the navagraha yantra superimposed..

 

Love,

Swee
