Esoteric Mahabharat 1

[Guest guest]

I am reposting this post I wrote some time ago:

 

Namashkar,

 

Sometime ago I had posted on the Esoteric Ramayan- Mahabharat also has

a esoteric element hidden in it...

 

It requires some knowledge of Mahabharats story.

 

Shantnu is the Parabrahm, the Supreme beyond. He has 2 wifes- the 1st

is Ganga who is pure Conciousness Shakti-or the Adi Shakti. This Adi

Shakti has 8 children. 1st 6 are powers of the 3 worlds(Causal, AStral

& Physical)- for both the Universe level & individual level. 7th is

Universal spirit or Kutashta Chaitnya. These 7 children are hidden

from normal people, or " drowned " by Ganga as in the story.

 

The 8th child is the Universal Ego, or Bhishma. Bhisma is the

reflection of the Universal spirit. He is not to be confused with our

petty egos- the Universal Ego or Bhisma is noble & pure, & has little

interest in our physical world(accordingly, Bhisma renounces his throne).

 

Satyavati is the 2nd wife of Shantnu, & is the Primodial nature, or

matter.

 

Her 1st son is Vyas, Pure discriminating intelligence, who is hidden.

Her other 2 sons are Chitragadha or 1st element, who dies early, as

the 1st element in nature(these are Sankhya elements) breaks into its

parts. 2nd is Vichitraviyra, the Divine Ego.

 

Vichitravirya has 2 wives-Ambika(negative doubt) & Ambalika, positive

power of discrimimation. Vichitravirya dies early, as the Divine ego

cant survive contact with physical matter. So Vyas, or pure

discrimination & conciousness, is brought to sire 2 children. From

Ambika, or doubt, he sires Dhritrashtra, or the blind sense mind,

blind as it lacks power o discrimination. Thru Ambalika is sired

Pandu, or Buddhi, which is power of wisdom & discrimination.

 

Dhritrashtra, or blind sense mind, marries Gandhari, or power of

desires, & has 100 children- the 10 sense organs * 10 Mahabhuta. Their

chief is Duryodhan, who represents worst qualities of blind mind- ego,

anger , vanity etc.

 

Pandu, or Buddhi, marries Kunti(or power of dispassion) & Madri(power

of attachment to dispassion). With them he has 5 children- who are the

5 elements, or 5 Chakras of our body- Yudhistra or Ether

element(Akash)-the Vishudhi Chakra, Bhima or Air element(Pran) -the

Anahat Chakra, Arjun or Fire element(Agni) -the Manipur Chakra, Nakula

or Water element(Ap) -the Swadhistan chakra, & finally, Sahadev -the

Earth element(Prithvi) Muladhar Chakra.

 

These 5 brothers have 1 wife- Draupadi or Kundalni Shakti. She spends

time with each brother, & has a son with each(the spiriutal powers of

each chakra).

 

The Pandavs are defeated in the game of dice, which is the game of

Maya or illusion we can never win. They are then kicked out of their

kingdom(or the body) & the evil tendencies then rule. Then have to

wander for 12 years, which is the time many Yogis say it takes a man

to achieve expertise in Sadhna. The 13th year is spent in disguise, or

when the Sadhaks takes Samadhi, & is lost to bliss & outside world.

 

Then these positive forces return to the bodily kingdom, but the -ve

forces(ego, arrogance, hatred etc) refuse to share even a part of the

kingdom. So with the help of Krishna, the Divine Guru or his

representative, the +ve forces prepare for battle...

 

To be continued....

Dear Shantanuji,

 

Namaste!

 

That was brilliant. Hope in future when you find time you give

esoteric meaning of Ramayan as well. Meantime i find one missing

link and that is Vyas sired Dhirtrashtra and Pandu but what about

Dasi putra Vidura. You have not mentioned anything about him.

Could you throw some light on that please.

 

With warm regards,

Esoteric Ramayan is there too- Message #12134.

 

Vidur- there are several explanations. One is that Vidur is the

equivalent of Mind born sons of Brahma, who help him in running the

world, but cannot directly interfere.

 

Vidur was pure energy of Vyas(or Pure discrimanting intelligence), as

his mother wasnt afraid of Vyas. So like the mind born sons of Brahma,

he had full wisdom from birth, with which he tried to help others, but

they didnt always listen to him.

 

Vidur was a pure soul- he was one of only 3 who saw Krishna in his

Viraat form.

Dear Shantanu,

 

Namaste!

 

The explanation was interesting. Vidur's mother was not afraid

of sage Vyas therefore she conceived Vidur born gyaani while

the other two were scared of vyas therefore one begot blind son

and other pandu (anemic) right?

 

With warm wishes,

Sudhakar
