Darkness

Does Knowledge is darkness?

Knowledge is darkness-Bookish learning doesn't always banish ignorance.

The Upanishads say that the ignorant attend a World of Darkness but the learned enter an even darker world. But isn’t knowledge a lamp that banishes the darkness of ignorance? How can knowledge that dispels ignorance, extolled because the panacea for all ills and Evils, leads one to a world that's darker than the ignorance itself? ? 

The process of acquiring knowledge which illuminates an individual inside

and lets him become conscious of the external reality, begin with sense data. This data, when contextualised, transforms into information, which again turns into knowledge once we skill to use it. But knowledge is bipolar; counting on the context, sometimes one aspect of the knowledge is true and sometimes the opposite. there's no knowledge within the world which isn't dichotomous Experience including knowledge during application results in the germination of discerning wisdom. that's why it's said wisdom dawns as men get older. 

The external world

But what's the Teleological objective of this whole effort of knowing the external world? Why in the least, this process of data acquirement between the topic and object should take place? Simply put, this is often an attempt to become one with the external world. This process of data acquirement would continue until such time, the equilibrium is established. that's to mention, the method begins with a state where the topic and object are two separate realities and transfer of knowledge continues to facilitate state the identity of the objects within the subject. This process ideally would continue to tell there's no object left to understand. 

Every object has innumerable qualities then it might take very large if not Infinite amount of your time before this equilibrium is struck. Anyone who sticks to the present process contending that this process of data acquirement banishes ignorance is ignorant because he's never getting to achieve this process. the matter is that we have a brief and limited span of a lifetime, and they're is required another way, another practise if we were to achieve the equilibrium during this life itself or a minimum of during a definite time-frame in future. And this path isn't the trail of data but the trail of Pratyabhigna, direct experience. 

In his book ‘Tibetan yoga of dreams and sleep’, Tenzing Wangle Rinpoche’s explains with a gorgeous allegory, how knowledge became a hindrance to enlightenment. He says, in Tibet, new leather skins are put within the sun and rubbed with butter to form them softer. When a sentient being entered this world with the hundreds of past sanskaras, it's just like the new skin, tough and hard with narrow views and conceptual rigidity. 

Knowledge is just like the butter, rubbed in through practice, making it soft and pliable. But an equivalent butter, when stored in leather bags for a few years, make the luggage hard as wood and no amount of latest butter can soften them. Someone who spends a few years studying the teaching-acquiring knowledge, intellectualizing an excellent deal of little experience of practice, is like that hardened leather. The teaching can soften the hard skin of ignorance and conditioning, but once they are stored in intellect and not rubbed into the practitioner with practice and warmed with direct experience, the person becomes rigid and hard in his intellectual understanding. Then new teaching won't soften him, won't penetrate and alter him. We must take care to not store the teaching as only conceptual understanding, least that conceptual understanding becomes a block to wisdom. 

Tenzing Wangle Rinpoche further says that many philosophical systems are developed to lead beings to wisdom, but they produce ignorance in their followers hold close a dualistic understanding of reality. this is often unavoidable in any conceptual system, because the conceptual mind itself may be a manifestation of ignorance. 

Breaking the circle

Ignorance has a scope of redemption a minimum of sometime in future, But those believing within the inviolable supremacy of data and adhering to the trail of data acquirement would still trend on the never-ending path infinitely. The Upanishads warn us of the danger of being stuck within the furrows of data and wake us up to interrupt the circle and proceed on the trail of direct experience- one that doesn't depend upon the sense- mind interface between subject and object. 

Osho says, for aeons, people are moving round and round during a circle in a small room, wondering how enormous their room is since, despite many steps for aeons together, they failed to find the end of the room. Suddenly,  amongst them one of those circling morons decides to manoeuvre in a perpendicular direction, breaking the accepted path and lo from there he discovers the door-the entry and exit to the present presumably infinite- sized room- and gets liberated from the space. 

Physical Health

Why Physical health is important?

Healing through yoga

Let Prana Flow- Practice of asanas and praynam increases the life force.

Prana or life-force is the basis of all our physical activity.Its keeps our entire body regulated and healthy.According to the philosophy of Yoga,the body remains physically fit as long as the life force is circulated properly within it.If there is any hindrance or irregularity in its flow,the body becomes ill.Yoga is a method of regulating energy in the body by removing disease from it.Yoga has positive impact on all parts of our body.including nerves,veins,tissues,endocrine glands,and even our little cells.Hence,it has a positive effect on all activities of the body.
the flow of life-force is facilitated and the energy of the body is unified with the supreme energy scattered in the cosmos.
Secret to a long and happy life
The human body is an important vehicle, beside being a tool for spiritual growth. If your body is not healthy for a prolonged period of time,You will not even be able to mediate or do any sadhana. So, first and foremost Keep your body healthy. Asanas do not provide health benefit alone. The word Asanas means 'kaya sthiram'-That which steadies the body and comforts you.With regular practice of the  pranayamas and asanas, you can increase the power of mind as well as strengthen your immunity.

In the Sirsasana  ,the body goes upside down. One needs to train oneself to get the right coordination and balance to be still and steady as well as comfortable in Sirsasanas. This is often called king of asanas. One can derive great benefits from this asana. , since we are always standing on our feet. This asana increases blood flow, to the brain, lungs, and several other organs. The heart rest because it does not have to work against gravity to push the blood up. This rush of blood soothes and calms all organs with oxygen oxygenated blood and this ensures perfect functioning of the body.
Similarly, Sarvangasana is called the Queen of all asanas. It has a specific effect on the thyroid and parathyroid glands. Every asana has a particular effect on specific organ and muscles. Therefore, one needs to have an in depth understanding of asanas, including the right way to do them.

Mindful movements-Focus on your movements and on your breathing while Practising Yoga asanas to keep your body an mind healthy.
Since asanas have a profound effect on your body, it is important to perform them with awareness. If you are doing leg raise, then you should raise and lower your legs with awareness, being alert to the action. If you don’t move your legs with awareness, then it is not an asana, but merely a form of exercise. Asanas should be done with awareness of body and breath.

In Tadasana , you raise your arm straight up while breathing in. When you raise your arm while breathing in, oxygen reaches all parts of the lungs-Posterior, anterior, Superior and inferior. When you breathe in without raising your arms, only the upper, and to some extent, the middle part of the lungs is oxygenated and carbon dioxide accumulates in the rest of lungs. Carbon dioxide is toxic to the body and the accumulation of toxins is akin to invite illness and early death. While performing asanas, it is extremely important to keep the mind alert, to remain aware, an establish coordination with the breath. Yoga practitioner said that if your spine is young, you are young- So to keep your spine young, you should practise all asanas which make the spine flexible and strong, including Bhujangasana, Sarpasana,  Makarasana,  Kandhar. All these are good for the spine. And learn them under the guidance of a yoga practitioner only.
According to Hatha yoga, a major advantage of doing asanas is that they have a direct effect on our - thus helping immensely in the awakening of Chakras. While doing an asan , you also breathing in rhythm; this balances the Ida and Pingala Nadi and helps in activating the Sushumna nadi. It may seem that you are doing asanas ,but  actually you are preparing for the opening of the chakras and awakening of the Kundalini. If your Mooladhara and Swadhisthana Chakra are not activated , you cannot be free from desire, no matter how much knowledge you gather by listening to spiritual discourses.

Chakras- Mooladhara, Manipura. Kumar, swadisthana , Anahata, Vishuddha, Ajna, Sahasrara
The Mooladhara Chakra controls all the system related to West elimination at both the physical as well as psychological level ,and is the point where all primal urges are stored. All your longings and desires are trapped in the Swadhisthana Chakra.
The mechanism of this chakra is so subtle that it understanding is beyond the intellect of an average person. Our conscious mind is unaware about how the Swadhisthana Chakra controls our Samskaras or our mental impressions, choices, decisions and actions. Even your friend are, in a way, selected by the Swadisthana. No one can control the mind and the body without activating the Swadhisthana Chakra.

Note-Refer to my earlier post post about Chakras for details.

Emotional health

Why Mental health is important?  

👉Mental Health👈

I want you to imagine this for a flash. Two men, Sanjay and Yash, living within the same neighborhood, from an equivalent educational background, similar occupation, and that they both happen at their local accident emergency complaining of acute chest pain. Sanjay is offered a cardiac procedure, but Yash is sent home. What might explain the difference within the experience of those two nearly identical men? Rajiv suffers from a mental illness. The difference within the quality of medical aid, received by people with mental disease is one among the explanations. Why they live shorter lives than people without mental disease. Even within the best-resourced countries within the world, this anticipation gap is the maximum amount as 20 years. In the developing countries of the planet, this gap is even larger. But in fact, mental illnesses can kill in additional direct ways also. The most obvious example is suicide it'd surprise a number of you here because it did me once I discovered that suicide is at the highest of the list of the leading causes of death in young people in all countries in the world including the poorest countries of the world But beyond the impact of a health condition on life expectancy, we; re also concerned about the quality of life lived Now, in order for us to examine the overall impact of a health condition both on life expectancy also as on the standard of a life lived, we'd like to use a metric called the DALY- which stands for a Disability-Adjusted Life Year, Now once we do that, we discover some startling things about mental illness from a global perspective We discover that, for example, mental illnesses are amongst the leading causes of disability around the world- Depression, for example, is the third-leading cause of disability, alongside conditions such as diarrhoea and pneumonia in children. When you put all the mental illnesses together, they account for roughly 15 per cent of the entire global burden of disease. Indeed, mental illnesses also are very damaging to people’s lives, but beyond just the burden of disease, allow us to consider absolutely the numbers. The World Health Organization estimates that there are nearly four to 5 hundred million people living on our small planet that is suffering from a mental disease. Now a number of you here look a touch astonished by that number, but consider for a flash the incredible diversity of mental illnesses, from autism and intellectual disability in childhood, through to depression and anxiety, substance misuse and psychosis in adulthood, all the way through to dementia in adulthood, and that I am pretty sure that every and each one us presents here today can consider a minimum of one person, a minimum of one person, who’s suffering from a mental disease in our most intimate social networks. But beyond the staggering numbers, what’s truly important from a worldwide health point of view, what’s truly worrying from a worldwide health point of view, is that the vast majority of those affected individuals don't receive the care that we all know can transform their lives, and remember, we do have robust evidence that a variety of interventions, medicines, psychological interventions and social interventions, can make a huge difference. And yet, even in the best-resourced countries, for example in Europe, roughly 50 per cent of affected people don’t receive these interventions. In the third world countries, that so-called treatment gap approaches an astonishing 90 per cent.

secret to a long and happy life

It isn’t surprising, then, that if you ought to speak to anyone suffering from a mental disease, the probabilities are that you simply will hear stories of hidden suffering, shame and discrimination in nearly every sector of their lives. But perhaps most heartbreaking of all are the stories of the abuse of even the most basic human rights, sadly, even in the very institutions that were built to care for people with mental illnesses, the mental hospitals. It’s this injustice that has really driven my mission to undertake to try to to a touch bit to rework the lives of individuals suffering from mental disease, and a very critical action that we should focus on is to bridge the gulf between the knowledge we have that can transform lives, the knowledge of effective treatments, and how we actually use that knowledge in the everyday world. And an especially important challenge that we had to face is the great shortage of mental health professionals, like psychiatrists and psychologists, particularly within the developing world. This is a reality of a world in which there were almost no mental health professionals at all. In Zimbabwe, for instance, there have been almost a dozen psychiatrists, most of whom lived and worked in Harare city, leaving only a few to deal with the psychological state care needs of nine million people living within the countryside. In India, the situation was not a lot better. To give you a perspective, if I had to translate the proportion of psychiatrists within the population that one might see in Britain to India, one might expect roughly 150,000 psychiatrists in India. In reality, take a guess. The actual number is about 3,000, about two per cent of that number. It became quickly apparent to me that we couldn’t follow the kinds of psychological state care models that we've, one that relied heavily on specialized, expensive psychological state professionals to supply psychological state care in countries like India and Zimbabwe. We had to think out of the box about some other model It was then that I came across some books, and in these books, I discovered the idea of task shifting in global health. The idea is actually quite simple. when you’re in need of specialized health care professionals, use whoever is out there within the community, train them to supply a variety of health care interventions, and in these books, I read inspiring examples, for instance of how ordinary people had been trained to deliver babies, diagnose and treat early pneumonia, to great effect. And it struck me that if we could train ordinary people to deliver such complex health care interventions, then perhaps they might also do an equivalent with psychological state care. Well today, I’m very happy to report back to you that there are many experiments in task shifting in psychological state care across the developing world over the past decade, and that I want to share with you the findings of three particular such experiments, all three of which focused on depression, the foremost common of all mental illnesses. In rural Uganda, Paul Bolton and his colleagues, using villagers, demonstrated that they might deliver interpersonal

psychotherapy for depression and, employing a randomized control design, showed that 90 per cent of the people receiving this intervention recovered as compared to roughly 40 per cent within the comparison villages. Similarly, using a randomized control trial in rural Pakistan, Atif Rahman and his colleagues showed that lady health visitors, who are community maternal health workers in Pakistan’s health care system, could deliver cognitive behaviour therapy for mothers who were depressed, again showing dramatic differences in the recovery rates. Roughly 75 per cent of mothers recovered as compared to about 45 per cent within the comparison villages. And in a trial in Goa, in India, it again showed that lay counsellors drawn from local communities might be trained to deliver psychosocial interventions for depression, anxiety, resulting in 70 per cent recovery rates as compared to 50 per cent in the comparison primary health centres. Now, if we had to bond of these different experiments in task shifting, and there have in fact been many other examples, and check out and identify what are the key lessons we will learn that creates for a successful task-shifting operation. The first is that we'd like to simplify the message that we’re using, stripping away all the jargon that medicine has invented around itself. We need to unpack complex health care interventions into smaller components which will be more easily transferred to less-trained individuals we'd like to deliver health care, not in large institutions, but on the brink of people’s homes, and that we got to deliver health care using whoever is out there and affordable in our local communities. And importantly, we'd like to reallocate the few specialists who are available to perform roles like capacity-building and supervision. Now for me, task shifting is thought with truly global significance, because albeit it's arisen out of things of the shortage of resources that you simply find in developing countries, I feel it's tons of significance for better-resourced countries also. Why is that? Well, in part, because health care in the developed world, the health care costs in the [developed] world, are rapidly spiraling out of control and a huge chunk of those costs are human resource costs. But equally important is because health care has become so incredibly professionalized that it’s become very remote and far away from local communities. For me, what’s truly beautiful about the idea of task shifting, though, isn’t that it simply makes health care more accessible and affordable but that it is also fundamentally empowering. It empowers ordinary people to be simpler in caring for the health of others in their community, and in doing so, to become better guardians of their own health. Indeed, for me, task shifting is that the ultimate example of the democratization of medical knowledge, and thus, medical power. Just over 30 years ago, the nations of the planet assembled at Alma-Ata and made this iconic declaration. Well, I think all of you can guess those 12 years on, we’re still nowhere near that goal. Still, today, armed thereupon knowledge ordinary people within the community are often trained and, with sufficient supervision and support, can deliver a variety of health care interventions effectively, perhaps that promise is within reach now. Indeed, to implement the slogan of Health for All, we'll get to involve beat that specific journey, and within the case of psychological state, especially we would need to involve people that are suffering from mental disease and their caregivers. It is for this reason that, some years ago, the Movement for Global psychological state was founded as a kind of a virtual platform upon which professionals like myself and people suffering from mental disease could stand together, shoulder-to-shoulder, and advocate for the rights of individuals with mental disease to receive the care that we all know can transform their lives, and to live a life with dignity. And in closing, once you have a flash of peace or quoin these very busy few days or perhaps afterwards, spare an idea for that person you considered who features a mental disease, or persons that you simply considered who have a mental disease, and dare to worry for them.

👉Emotional strength👈

To lead a balanced life, emotional strength is important. We can enjoy our success, career and health only if we are emotionally strong. On the other hand, even after getting success, people who are emotionally weak, are prone to commit suicide because of depression. Emotional strength create balance in life and also help us to get success in a creative way.

Emotional strength is something that you acquire from childhood. It is related to how you felt as a child and now and not on how cool and image your branded clothes and expensive toys give us a child. Nobody want to relieve those bad feelings of childhood because those emotions do not seem important to us. Being vulnerable , children absorb negativity quickly.

As a child, we tend to absorb the negativity of consciousness and this becomes double if we belong to a dysfunctional family. We grow up with these thoughts in our subconscious- and this force can become very powerful. Therefore, it is difficult to lead a respectful and a successful life as an adult, later. We may have success, but these prove to be temporary, because that strong base is missing.

The biggest symptom of lack of emotional strength is that you lack meaningful relationship in your adult life. Emotional weakness ruins your relationship. That happens in young years. In such a case, one feels like a loser in a relationship without ever being a receiver. The fact is that being always a giver is no more a matter of pride, but receiving it equally important. Sometimes, these relationship manifest in loneliness.

Despite having a  large family and a group of friends, you might still feel lonely deep within.

Apart from loneliness, people who lack emotional strength tend to attract  lot of hardship in their work environment and this later affects their health,too.

Problem with the skeletal and digestive system indicate a lack of emotional strength in the person.

 However we can always work toward our welfare and change ourselves. The first need is to acknowledge this. Our parents concentrated on things which they could see- like our Physical health or  performance in school and they did their best to improve these. That could not work on areas which could not be seen. That is why the feeling harboured as children remained completely  ignored and buried deep somewhere in the subconscious.

Now that you know about these feelings you can acknowledge them and work toward balancing them. Work on increasing your emotional strength through the following:-

👉 Being emotionally weak, you may not know how to receive. If you think you lack emotional strength, work toward coexistence -that will help you more instead of working on your personal relationship. Coexistence teaches us to give and receive gracefully, and subsequently improve personal relationship.

👉Working on the heart Chakra is important; this seat of love balances giving and receiving. To work on the heart Chakra, get involved in something creative like art and literature from around the world.

👉Working with the inner child helps. It is wonderful to care for your inner child because it immediately starts showing positive results in your environment.

👉Get connected with nature or with life around you. There is so much of plant and animal life around us. Connecting with them helps in connecting with fellow humans in a better and respectful way.

👉Keep a check on your depression level. It is important to be relaxed while working with yourself for emotional strength.

Manifest things -the science of yoga is based on tapping the power of consciousness.

 It is a wrong perception that your spiritual existence is divorced from the physical body. The physical body is a vehicle in which the being makes the journey of the soul. For the journey to be successful, it is important for the vehicle to be in top form.

Asian texts abound with the description of men and women whose strength, beauty, attraction and Glow could mesmerize and attract not just earthly being but also gods and goddesses. These people did not go to gym and parlours for undergoing surgeries and implants; some of them spent a year in jungles and in Ashrams, begging for alms 

to meet their daily needs, yet there glow and Magnetism was unsurpassed and stayed so till the end.

On the other hand, man today spend hours in gyms, take all kinds of diet supplements and invest in the most sophisticated beauty and health products and yet good health and youthful looks elude them. The majority complain of the joint and back problem, hair loss, wrinkles and age lines, dullness of complexion and loss of strength and Vigour by the time they're in their 30s.

The reason for this is simple. Man of yesteryears relied on consciousness that was channelized by their Guru; Mann of today resort to machines and Chemicals. The former elevates you; the letter age you. Our body exists at the level of the elements- which we see, touch, hear, smell and test -and also at the level of consciousness. It is the latter which governs the former and not vice versa. It is the consciousness that manifests into the five elements that form our body and it is also by accessing this consciousness that we can manifest anything in our body and in creation, just like our ancestors had done. Trying to alter the consciousness by physical means has the reverse effect of ageing the body. This would be apparent when you go to meet a dietician; you will find that the dietician too does not exude any glow, will not have much strength and will be frail.

The science of yoga is based on tapping the phenomenal power of consciousness. When that happens, a practitioner's ability of thought manifestation heightens. Sanatan Kriya is an effective tool through which consciousness can change your looks according to your desire and make you look young, full of vigour and enhance the glow on your face. It is easy to practice and is well- suited for modern individuals...

 Miracles of the midbrain. 

More than 90% of our thoughts are negative. Make a commitment that I don’t want this thought that wastes my energy. Easier said than done, but it is easy to solve your problems-All you have to do is to manifest the image you want and you can have it. The way ahead is to abandon the logic the neocortex part of your brain hands over to you in the form of negative limiting questions like were what, how and why and instead lies in activating the midbrain region. Don’t waste your energy by staying in mind consciousness. Instead, go into the midbrain consciousness, you can manifest anything in your life if only you put the image inside your midbrain. once you have done that through the simple method that focuses on light entering your right eye, then stilling the right eyeball, before moving to the left part of your brain and finally coming to the centre of your forehead, near your Anjana Chakra, the rest is relatively easier. You now enter into a meditative state along with some simple chants like a deep, humming ‘ huh and humph’ sounds that are now combined with a series of Aums along with thought manifestation of what you want in your life

At this point, you can focus your mind on Divinity- and your meditation will become even more powerful. Of course, the sacred chants do not work If you insist on putting blasphemous and profane thoughts in your midbrain. It will help your meditation along If you draw a line with your finger from the middle of your forehead up till your hairline. If you are willing to experiment, the midbrain region- the pineal center-secrets beneficial juice at around 2:30 – 4:30 a.m. in the morning., so meditating at that time is most effective.

👉The midbrain is your miracle brain. Given that this is so then” why stay in your negative thoughts?”  That’s wasting your energy, almost like being unfair to yourselves. Most of our thoughts are garbage, so try to stay more in the midbrain. And if we keep thinking of garbage, it will soon manifest in our life.

👉Meditation is simple and anyone,  even illiterate people, can do this.  Where people will begin activating their midbrain region and surmount their financial health and relationship problem. Become the living consciousness of God. Produce thoughts from the midbrain. Living in poverty is an anatomical abnormality. One that can be corrected when we put the right thought manifestation in our midbrain.

👉The midbrain is what Yogis use,” in today’s, modern, technological, and logic-driven world, we ignore this part of our brain and give importance only to the neocortex reason -the part of our brain that is into logic, analytical thinking as well as into  negativity .”This part will not allow any miracles to happen. This is the frontal lobes that get into fear, and into complicated questions. In contrast, the midbrain never complicates and instead give you immediate thoughts manifestation.

👉“Patanjali says, Chitta vritti nirodha” or stop thoughts from flooding the brain. This wisdom is ancient, but we have got enmeshed  in the neocortex reason and fallen prey to hardcore logic and have lost the importance of Patanjali’s  wise word.” Instead, we should concentrate on thinking from our midbrain region. Doing so will make condition just right,  for it is the midbrain that takes us towards higher intelligence.

Time cycle

Does time repeat itself?And what's the role of Karma?

Vedas says that Time keep repeating itself, Yuga after Yuga, Kalp after Kalp, Manvantara after Manavantara.There are many proofs of these can be found in Hindu Scriptures.

Let us look at two beautiful stories from the scriptures-

 when Rama Ji fulfilled all his worldly duties (the purpose of his life) and the time came for him to leave this material body and returned to his abode. Yamaraja                                                                                                tried much time but was not able

to reach Ram Ji and take away his life because Hanuman Ji guarded Ram’s life.To allow Yama’s entry, it was necessary to distract Hanuman. So Ram Ji dropped his ring into a crack in the Palace floor and ask Hanuman to fetch it. Hanuman reduced himself to the size of a bee and enter the crack. He followed the crack until he reached Naglok. Hanuman meets Vasuki the king of Serpent there and informs about his purpose.

Vasuki took Hanuman to a place where stood a mountain of rings. Vasuki said here you will surely find Rama’s ring. Hanuman wondered how he would do that. It was like finding a needle during a haystack. But to his delight, the first ring he picked it up was Ram’s ring. To his surprise, even the second ring and consecutive ring he picked up was Rama ring. All the rings that made up the mountain of rings where of Ram’s. Hanuman was surprised and asked him how can there be numerous rings?

Vasuki smiled and said, “As many ring’s, so many Rama’s”. Life is a cycle, it's an infinite circle. What has happened in the past will again happen in future. That is why the word “Kal” is used for Past, Present & Future. We as a Jivatma (soul) get trapped in this Maya and keep taking rebirth again & again. Once the one attained Moksha, he will not take birth again on this dimension.This world we live in goes through the cycle of life and death. Each life cycle of the world is called Kalachakra and Mahayuga composed of four yugas. In Treta yuga, Ram takes birth and so Hanuman. He replied each ring represent one Kalachakra.( The mountain keep growing as more ring falls). Every time Ram will drop his ring and Hanuman will come here for searching his ring. By the time Hanuman Returns to earth Rama is gone. There was enough space for the ring of the future’s Rama also...

Hanuman then understood the intention of Rama, why he was sent here. Rama wants Hanuman to know that he could not stop death from coming. Ram would die to be reborn each time the world is reborn. So it would be forever.

Late us take a look of another story of” Kagbhusandi”-

image from google

 Kak means crow and Bhushundi is his name. It is associated with his name because the sage in his final in incarnation( birth ) was transformed into a crow by sage Lomas and finally he decided to spend his life in the form of a crow. He has been gifted with the living of thousands life and the ability to choose the physical form as per wish. He was also blessed with eternal life and limitless vision.
As per the scriptures, one of the important quality of kagbhusandi is that he can stand outside of time, means as to where nature’s cycle just repeats itself, so he was able to see Ramayana played out 11 times and Mahabharat 16 times with different result, but after seeing the Daksha Yagya twice he did not  care to see it again as it ended the same way each time. It is said that every time the lord takes the form of Rama, Bhushundi as a crow visit him and enjoy being a spectator to Ram’s childhood.

He clears the confusion of Garuda regarding Rama being God. He attained vast knowledge because he had undergone many thousand of births but always remembered whatever he learnt in his previous birth.

The Bhagwat Gita (2.12) says:
"Never was there a time once I didn't exist, nor you, nor these kings of men. Never will there be a time hereafter when any of us shall cease to be."

The Bhagwat Gita (9.7) says:
"At the top of a cycle all beings, O son of Kunti, enter into My Prakriti, and at the start of a cycle I generate them again."

The Brahma Sutra (1.3.29) says:
"And due to the sameness of names and forms (in every fresh cycle), there's no contradiction (to the eternity of those Vedic words) even within the revolving of world cycles, as is seen from the Sruti and therefore the Smriti."

The Vishnu Purana (I. v. 65.) says:
"As within the rotation of the seasons, the same signs of the various season are see repeated, so also at the start of a cycle the varied things are created as in the previous cycle."

Rig Veda  says:
"The Lord creates during this cycle the sun and therefore the moon as they existed within the previous cycle."

In one of the Puranas, in his Boar incarnation, Vishnu turns around and says to the Goddess Earth "Every time I carry you this way..." referring to the fact that He has done the same in prior cycles".

Therefore it is evident from the above two stories that Kala (time) repeat itself but the person and activities in the yugas are different but God’s incarnation is fixed, they came as per yugas.

What is the role of Karma?
 If God’s incarnations are fixed, and everything repeats itself in the same order again and again. But here a question arises that, where is the role of Karma (free will) if we are merely playing the character set by God. If this is the case, then for God we are no more than a movie that he keeps on playing again and again for his entertainment. And here all life loses its meaning in the very first place.
Time will repeat but they will or will not be same every time. So incidents like Ramayana and Mahabharata will happen again in its respective yugas but they will be completely or slightly different according to the situation of the Kal ( time). The main plot like Sita-Ram marriage and Ram vs Ravan war remains the same. But other intermediates event(Leela) changes. Here God’s character is fixed but other characters are played by different souls, they are given the character according to their karmas. So the character’s name will be the same but played by different soul’s.

 In our day to day life also we see the same movie or serials or read stories with a different version. In every version, the main plot remains the same, but other incidents with slight modification or more modification. Every time the person playing the character changes, dialogue changes but the main story or moral remains the same. We also came to know that Brahma, Indra and other deities (demigods) are merely posts and the person fulfilling the post has an individual name. The sole or beings get the post or role according to their karma’s. Only highly elevated souls get these important post and characters. Same can be said that every time Mahabharata repeats a different soul plays the role of Vedavyas, who writes Mahabharata. Character is the same but played by a different sole.

 It is believed that Hanuman will become Next Brahma. We came to know that Brahma, Indra, etc. , they all are Devatas they're Not god and every one These Devatas are “Post” But Vishnu and Lakshmi aren't a Post. except for Vishnu and Lakshmi, everyone is Post. Hanuman is an incarnation of Vayu (air). Vayu is Big devotee of Lord Vishnu. When Lord Vishnu incarnated as Rama, Vayu incarnated as Hanuman and became The servant (bhakta) and devote of Rama. When Lord Vishnu incarnated as Krishna, Vayu incarnated as Bheema Sena and killed all The Powerful demons like Duryodhana, Jarasanda, Dushasana etc. When lord Vishnu Took avatar as Veda Vyasa, Vayu incarnated as ‘Madhvacharya” and established Dvaita Philosophy. 
There are 100 Ruju devatas (Demi-gods) who are waiting in line to Occupy The seat of Lord Brahma. Read Vamana Purana, 100 Ruju devatas Names are Mentioned. According To Vamana Purana, only Vayu Can Occupy The Brahma’s Post. If Vayu Occupies Brahma’s Post Then where Brahma will Go? Brahma will Attain Moksha (dissolve in the Supreme soul) and Vayu will attain The post of Lord Brahma. 
Only in human life, Karma has a role to play. His Karma decides his next destination and salvation.He gets different destination (higher or lower lokas) and forms (Animal, Human, Demi-god, Demons, plants etc.) according to his Karma.No other Yoni, Jeeva can get salvation only in Purush (Human) yoni, Jeeva can get salvation (though it is difficult but not impossible). So if any higher being wanted salvation than also he has to take birth in Manushya yoni. 
There are Three Types of Groups- Devatas, Human beings and demons.Human beings (normal) and demons aren't eligible for such Post. Only devatas,highly elevated souls , Can Get such Highest Post. Hanuman Ji is a Devata and Vishnu devote, So He is destined to be the next of next Brahma. 
So it is strongly believed that Hanuman will be next Brahma as someone has to fill in Brahma's shoes and continue with the life cycle of creation.
 The name of the first Brahma –         Virinchi.
 The name of the second Brahma –   Padmabhu.
 The name of the third Brahma –       Swayambhu.
 The name of the fourth Brahma –     Parmeshthi.
 The name of the fifth Brahma –        Surajyeshtha
 The name of the sixth Brahma –       Hemagarbha.
 The name of the seventh Brahma – Shatanand (Present Brahma).
 Next (eighth) Brahma will be named as Chaturmukha.
 Ninth Brahma will be Hanuman.

Same can be said about us -The normal beings or souls. Yes, cycles of time or Kala repeat themselves. But there is one change. The 'Jiva' (soul) that is inhabiting your body in this life is not the same Jiva from your life in the previous cycle nor will it be the same Jiva in the next cycle. So although your body will repeat its actions, the jiva experiencing 'your life' within the next cycle is going to be a replacement Jiva whose karma is then fitted to birth in your body. Your Jiva will have already accumulated new karma and brought birth during another higher/lower body (or your jiva could also be in heaven or better yet attained Liberation).

People in each cycle would be required to be taught about Dharma and Satya. They must be shown the right way and evil should be destroyed. This is the reason why Ramayana and Mahabharata happened. It was God’s wish and God to Avatar in respective yugas to eliminate evil and preserve Dharma.

Maya (Illusion)

Is time an illusion (Maya)?

      

In Hinduism time is considered a facet of creation. It exists only so long as we are bound to the things of this world through our senses. Time may be a mental concept created by the movement of our senses, the celestial objects and our perceptions. It is a part of the illusion during which we live and which we deem real. In God's consciousness, there are no divisions of time. There is only this moment, one continuous, indivisible and indistinguishable state of existence.

Time is additionally considered a facet of Prakriti or Nature. It is one among the 36 tattvas or principles of creation . Prakriti subjects the boundless individual souls of pure consciousness to the restrictions of your time (Kala), space (Nyathi), knowledge (vidya), passion (raga) and power (Kala) and binds them to the cycle of births and rebirths. When beings transcend these five limitations through the grace of The divine soul, they regain their pure consciousness (chit) and become free.

 To understand this we have to go through the story of Narada “The Deva rishi”.

The Story of Narada

  He is one of the many Manash (born out of mind) Putra (son) of Lord Brahma. He was not interested in the material world so he refused to marry. He preferred in the realm of Vishnu, where time and space does not exist, where Maya casts no spells. He encouraged Brahma’s other sons to stay celibate like him. He did not understand the purpose of the creation of the universe and see no point of engaging with Prakriti.

Some other son's of the Brahma also agreed with Narada, and they refuse to marry. This happened several times until an enraged Brahma cursed Narada, ‘you will stay trapped within the material world until you appreciate the worth of Maya.’

Narada visited Vishnu and asked him the meaning of Maya. Vishnu said, ‘i will explain after you quench my thirst. Go fetch me some water.’Narada went to a river to fetch water. But as he was collecting the water, he saw a beautiful girl. He was so drawn to her that he followed her to her village and asked her father for her hand in marriage. The father agreed and the two got married. Before long, Narada was a father then grandfather than a great grandparent. Narada felt content. Suddenly one day, it rained. And the rains refused to stop. The river swelled and broke its

banks. Water rushed into Narada’s house, and to his horror, caught in a frenzy his wife, his children, his grandchildren and his great-grandchildren. He screamed and shouted for help as the water dragged him under. Suddenly he was pulled up and found himself in Vaikuntha (Vishnu’s abode) before Vishnu.

‘Narada,’ said Vishnu, ‘where is my water? I am still thirsty.’ Narada did not understand. Where was his family, his wife’s village, the river?

‘Where do this pain and suffering come from, Narada?’ asked Vishnu with a smile. ‘I thought you had full knowledge of Maya before you began to fetch water on behalf of me .’

Narada bowed his head in realization. He knew Maya but had never experienced Maya. Brahma was encouraging his sons to marry in order that they experience Maya. Knowledge of Maya is not the experience of Maya. Unless one experiences Maya, one won't be ready to empathize with those that are trapped in it.

Said Vishnu, ‘you knew all about measuring scales and subjective realities, Yet you forgot all about them as soon as you experienced the fabric world – home, family, children, and village. Your understanding of Maya and Brahmanda could have helped you in the turmoil of pleasure and pain, but it did not. Such is the spell of Maya. Now that you have experienced Maya, I want you to go and meet people and realize them that the only way out of Maya is seeking answers out of material reality. I want you to teach them into following the spiritual path.

The Parbrahma or Supreme soul is true, the material world is an illusion. The world exists for those who recognize the existence and does not exist for those who ignore its existence. For example- As long as the dreamer is going through the experience of Dream, the dream is a reality for him. All of his experience will be real. If he is hungry, eating relieves him of hunger, and if he is thirsty, he will drink water and thereby quenches his thirst. This experience in the dream will be as real as when we do it physically. This experience or state of mind will be the same when we do the activity with our physical body ( real-world) or without it in a dream ( illusion). So which is real , our physical world or dream world? In some sense  both, maybe real or illusion, Or one may be real and other illusion by his/her opinion. For us when we are in our material body, the dream is an Illusion and the material world is real but when we leave our body and left only with the soul, we realize that the material world is an illusion and that world is real. As Soul has no physical limitation like our body, it can see the real truth. The spiritually elevated person who knows the real truth i.e. these supreme being (Spiritually elevated person) considered the material world as Maya or illusion when he is present in physical body also. That person knows the purpose of body and material world, they do their duty ( Karma) but not attached to it. Like I know the purpose of the pen is to write no matter how much expensive or beautiful it is. I used to write with this pen, I am not attached to his beautifulness or expensiveness. I am not preserving it. All material world is under the spell of Maya even Lord Brahma is not excluded. Even Narada forgets all his wisdom and knowledge when under the spell of Maya, so how can we human being know the real truth when under the spell of Maya?

  All material world exists in the dream of Vishnu when he awakes, this material world vanishes, like a dream. For us the material world (time) is real but for Vishnu, it is illusion or dream. But for Brahma and us, the material world is real, so is time.
