Four states of mind they were traversed

Eight limbs of Yog’ now are commanded

Elements and sheaths five, as they counted

With letters true, triple five completed

Living new truth as the star six-pointed

From the dark of Night new Light awaited

In the past year we came across children who expressed and exhibited collective co-existence, mind reading skills, telepathic way of communication, knowing of languages, touch of healing, empathy of unknown realms and love unconditional. They are connected to the threads of past holding clear memory of the continuing consciousness. They are operating out of the sixth sense, an unknown astral element to mankind. They represent the pinnacle of “555” and dawn of new light. Are they proclaiming the end of darkness and birth of dawn? Siddhas sing that 6-faced Arumugan will emerge out of dark night and now we stand at the threshold, awaiting the birth of the sixth root race operating out of the sixth sense and perhaps anchoring the sixth element. Let’s wait for the all encompassing time to reveal.

*Awakened Species of Divine (ASD)

The Sixth Root Race

In the cycle of evolution a page is flipped to etch a new chapter. New souls with unfamiliar traits have started to inhabit earth and one cannot but take notice as they are growing in numbers. They exist with seeming difficulties and so called abnormalities yet they hold a glee in eyes and tales untold in their silence. They are put through tests of diagnosis, only to make assumptions out of existing knowledge and expected scale.

How can one holding the key of past and tools of present access the codes of future?

How can one decipher the silence when speech is the known mannerism?

How can the ones operating from mind know those who come with a sense reaching beyond the senses?

The sixth root race souls hold evolution and change as their key. In the past decade there have been intense medical research, hundreds and thousands of parents in panic, many forums discussing strange attributes and schools having difficulty in coping with children of change. Children showed less interest in communication but they are carrying extraordinary quality of imagination. There was a steady increase in cases labeled as ADD, ADHD and Autism spectrum disorder (ASD). These children lack attention, are hyper-active, hold inability to follow a regime, refuse verbal communication, socialization to digestion becoming day to day issues. Some offered solutions and some brought relief but nothing to describe the happening. On the other hand, these children had a distinct awareness of what they wanted, amazing attention to learn things of their interest, most of them showing keenness to know about space and related knowledge, straightforward way of existence but difficulties in daily life.

Meeting

It is quite natural a process for the present to meet the future before sliding in to the past. Planet Earth is going through phenomena of change, many a cause of concern while some denoting the future. The new species vibrating at a different frequency are unable to co-exist with the ideas of limitations, self, prejudice, greed, never ending wants, need for approval and struggle for attention. They resist and rebel in their own ways which is often termed as erratic behavior resulting in drugs, therapies and medical intervention. We hold the knowledge gathered over past, ascertaining the new as abnormal. Their traits do not fit in to the known box of social, medical or behavioral norms. We in our attempt to cast the same imprint and make them appear as the major lot cause pain not only to them but also to us. This is the meeting point.

Mixing

The world is largely divided in to left brain or right brain individuals. It was so far clearly riding on masculine energy with logic and reason dominating the scene. The new race portrays a reprogramming of masculine-feminine energy. Most of the autistic individuals have a fine taste for music and extraordinary ability to express musically. Music involves both the brains and perhaps their natural mode of existence made it easy. The gender consciousness will be hard to notice in the new race children. They do not hold an idea of separation and hence have features of totality and wholesomeness. We, of course judging from the known standards fail to notice the underlying sensitivity and simplicity. Yet, they grow in numbers mixing with the current, only to create a revolution in silence. The numbers now have reached a stage where everything around is addressed with the need to change. Be it the schools, education system, food habits, government policies, medical traditions or views held so far. They are forcing us to go beyond the excuses of genetic mutation, hormonal imbalance and psychological dysfunction. New root race souls have mixed to such an extent that change is now an inevitable factor.

Merging

Gradual and mysterious is the way of nature. In a visible yet discreet moment one season gives way to the other. In a miraculous manner seeds sprout and sapling grows to bear flowers and fruits. Huge civilizations and enormous species are wiped out of the face of earth. Nature in its unique way is leading us to the merging point. It is hard to notice as root races overlap for hundreds of years. The receding one holding all the old properties and the emerging one with its newness ought to co-exist for a long duration. That’s how nature operates and that’s the cause of pain too. One gives way to the other in gradual and graceful manner. We have to acknowledge the new race children with “open senses” seeing, hearing and feeling much beyond the normal ones. They lack the grounding as they exist in multiple dimensions. Yet they have access to information and ways of life unknown to the present race. They represent the future way of life. World always had difficulty in accepting change, be it Galileo, Socrates or Jesus. Merging is what they are seeking and we are resisting.

*state of sleep is ignorance, holding attributes of kama, krodha, moha,  lobha,mada and matsarya. To be awakened is devoid of all this. Children with autism portray unconditional joy, love and freedom.

Characteristic Features

The representatives of the new race are here with a distinct purpose and plan. We chose to name them Autistics for convenience and from the understanding we have derived from them. They were different and were struggling to ground; they found it hard to be in a world of conditions and limitations. They exist in a state of Prakamya and Vyapti unknown to the existing humanity.

Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky in her Secret Doctrine says, “sixth root race souls will silently come into existence; so silently, indeed, that for long millenniums shall its pioneers – the peculiar children who will grow into peculiar men and women – be regarded as anomalous lusus nature, abnormal oddities physically and mentally. Then, as they increase, and their numbers become with every age greater, one day they will awake to find themselves in a majority. It is the present men who will then begin to be regarded as exceptional”.

By now there are many stories shared of these peculiar children, many anecdotes of their extraordinary abilities. Hundreds and thousands of parents across the world share how they started to notice something queer or different in their children. Some exhibited clairvoyance and others the traits of clairaudience. There were children who sensed the energy of anything and everything around and in turn struggled to be in their surroundings. Little did the ones helping realized that the children were clairsentient making their existence difficult. Soul in the arduous journey goes through the hassles and hurdles to develop the potential which lies latent and hidden beyond the murky mind. It is that intelligence and energy which will help the soul to revert. The natural cycles of life brought new souls to experience and represent the change.

Prakamya

Prakamya is a state belonging to the ashtama siddhis explained by the Siddhas. It is also a state when the five senses of the human being are fully open. It is the sharp and strong instinct when followed never leads one astray. Prakamya is hidden in the subtle bodies and waits its full blossoming in the physical vehicle. Man had to let go off the flowering of senses in the attempt to expand the intelligence, building civilisations, learning to fight against all odds and make life easier on planet. Now is the time when intelligence needs to know the enormous power of the mind which can read and comprehend limitless details, which can be in an altered state of consciousness still being in a different reality. Sri Aurobindo said: ''Many visible signs are seen today which make us understand that the day is come for the eleventh sense to manifest again, for the power of Prakamya to grow and increase.'' Children with autism clearly exist in this state where they can see, hear and feel what is beyond the access of normal senses. This is a boon as well as a curse to the children as this experience making their very existence challenging.

Vyapti

Vyapti is the corresponding reception to the state of Prakamya. Person living in Vyapti will experience the entire sensory intake in one’s own consciousness as there is no difference or demarcation for those who dwell in Vyapti. While interacting with autistic savants we realized that they connect with each other in this manner. They feel, see, live and experience in each other’s consciousness and also with those who come in contact with them varying from parents, teachers, therapists, siblings and peers. Unbound by single-mindedness autistic individuals are whole and differently faceted, reciprocating only to the language of love which their whole consciousness communicates. To exist in a state of Prakamya and Vyapti would mean being wired with hyper-sensitive sensory organs and being unable NOT to feel energies and motives. They face a world very different from ours. Loud sounds can hurt the ears, normal touch may hurt the skin and bright lights make eyes ache. Energy of a person may cause unbearable discomfort even while behaving ”normally”. Autistic individuals experience the world differently and face challenges we are not aware of. These children exhibit eagerness to portray and share the innate abilities, and unwillingness to be a part of the forced environment.

A walk in the woods, rustling leaves, fresh blossom, a drop of water, birds singing – these simple things can bring a bright wide smile on their faces. More one gets to know autistics more they reveal their expansiveness as vast as space.These often silent children tread a path that could guide us back to life. Their existence is a whole new perspective unfamiliar to the present humanity, they can shift from a tantrum of frustration into heart-melting smile filled with love, reach some pinnacle of scientific thought-process that could render service to many or pass a healing touch. In their struggle to ground they are still giving.

Is it time to change and re-think?

Are they reacting to stir the numbness that mankind is used to?

Are they in silence shrieking to restructure a world where unconditional love, joy and truth could be the nature of existence?

Is it time to re-work on our conscience and modes of operation?

We are left with a bunch of queries provoked and invoked by a race that largely chose to be silent in their communication. This period of overlapping races is also an opportunity to change and resolve the ties and knots of past. It is an individual choice as we exist in a zone of free will and independent mode.

Co-Existence and Co-Creation

It is good to remember that this is not the first time on planet Earth that races overlap. Yet, it is the first time these races overlap. However, we all have had the experiences more than enough of conflicting perspectives and viewpoints. Most of us have met a person with whom we didn’t share a common language but with whom we still needed to get our messages delivered and information exchanged. From the perspective of getting into a novel situation there is nothing new in this.

The fundamentals of coping with the situation and learning to understand it remain the same. One needs to exhibit patience and observance as that is the only way to learn new and correct one’s own ways of action. One needs to hold faith, love and open heart to allow such new vistas to enter and work from within. With anger, impatience and frustration one only becomes blind to the change that is needed in oneself and will not learn to co-exist.

The novel thing with autistic individuals entering the lives of so-called normal people is the concept of absolute. As they are operating from the completely different perspective, their communication lacks certain features that are the unfortunate trade-mark of current civilization. Autistic individuals don’t accept pretense and false. Whether one knows it or not, the conditioned behavior that one repeats is as clearly visible to an autistic as is the sun on a clear day to anyone with eyesight.

Autistic individuals are here to give a new chance so evident that it can hardly be misunderstood. As they only accept genuine and loving communication, the lesson they are giving is Anbe Sivam – God is Love. That is also their anchor and shield in this world of artifice and dogmatic behavior. Autistic individuals would be like rivers running free, but the mental and emotional conditioning of the energy in this whole planet is such that all the channels are blocked. Hence, they find it very difficult to descent to normal level of human existence.

Thus, even if they are giving the most treasured teaching a man can receive, they are also in need of help to exist in a humane and meaningful way in this world. They have the normal emotions and mental functions but as they are anchored to the Divine and unwilling to let go of that Universal lifeline at the cost of individual pains that exceed anything a normal human can imagine, they simply don’t fit into the society of ours. Yet, on the flip-side of the coin, many of them carry technology and information that could greatly help our society.

The challenge is to build a bridge of communication and to co-create environments which help both sides to come together and learn from each other. Autistic individuals are often hyper-sensitive and cannot find comfort and relaxation in their bodies if located in the buzz of a city or in the polluted environments. One challenge they face is their hyper-sensitive nervous system that only rests in correct environments. To make it clear, it is not only for them this kind of natural, serene and clean environment is for good. Actually, whether one is aware or not about the harmful effect of pollution in the city, it will cause its damage. Yet, imagine how it feels to live on a daily basis in an environment and in ways one is increasingly aware of and will slowly damage and corrupt the precious body.

For those with open hearts and willingness to explore something new, there is always a need. That is the only perquisite. Hence forward the Universe will provide opportunities that only need to be welcomed and accepted. To begin to work with autistic individuals is to begin to work with one’s self. One has to learn to give up pre-conditioned motives and attachments in order to learn to communicate intuitively. The more one holds into beliefs, preferences and dislikes, the less is the flow of intuition and the less is the unhindered communication. Yet, only through communication the emergence of meaningful and deepened co-existence can dawn. And only in a meaningful and fulfilling co-existence can there be fertile frontier to co-create; be it new technology, social models, teaching methods etc.

Now, to go back to the beginning of this chapter, this has always been the fact that spiritual teachers and masters have been underlining. In the blueprint there is actually nothing new. Only the settings for the scene have changed to the most contrasted possible. In the self-search and life pain is inevitable. With willingness to change and learn, the amount of suffering on the both sides of the equation can be taken down in a proportional manner to the willingness. Autistic individuals in our society provide a God-given mechanism for the parents to shed their egos and learn selfless service, unconditional love and atonement from their children who have already reached that inner state.

With the growing understanding comes a growing responsibility. Enlightenment or spiritual growth is an ongoing process one should not give up after a seemingly satisfying experience. One should also not be distracted by extra-ordinary, as the key characteristics, patience and love, are only tested in the most ordinary, boring and challenging situations where ideals of love, patience and co-existence seem to vanish in to the thin air. Those are the moments when one can prove the lessons learned.

New Age Education

Education is the most essential part of civilization. With changing times the method of learning and teaching went through transitions and alterations. Now when we are at a phase where old is merging with the new the system of education needs a modification, a way to suit the newly arrived understanding, new needs and abilities. As of now the education provided to autistic individuals is based on what is available, what is known to us and what was accepted as the norm. Education until the present is related to the lower mind. The tests and assessments are based on the information stored and memorized and trained to recollect matching the requirements. It has been a training of the memory and teaching racial achievements of past. Learning is much more than this, future hold a new perspective of education.

These souls who have come with a knowing of science, languages, past and future need not be put through the formula prevailing in the current school system. They are here to share the nuances of love, teach the blossoming of senses and existence in detachment. They are in need of a whole new system to understand their needs. Education of future would go beyond science, mathematics and language to higher mind, soul consciousness and evolution of race. They exhibit love for physics but talk about theory of connectivity and not relativity. They operate out of Antahkarana while we are still building ours.

We should work towards creating a space where exchange of ideas happens. We should cater to their unique needs by creating

1. Atmosphere of Love

2. Atmosphere of patience

3. Atmosphere of ordered activity

4. Atmosphere of total understanding

5. Atmosphere in sync with nature

Atmosphere of Love

Children are forced to be a part of the existing education system where they are ‘included’ for whatever compulsions or reasons. Are they truly included and allowed to blend in their natural way of existence? We know the answer. Children go through a regime where they are received and extended courtesy but not love in its true sense. In the so called normal schools they are going through emotions of fear and shyness making the days more difficult and painful. Love is what the ageless wisdom taught and administered; Love is to know and accept the child as an individual up on realizing the nature and true potentialities hidden within. Love alone can help these tender beings to ground and operate allowing the complete blossoming of their being with the course of time.

Atmosphere of Patience

Anything that springs out of hush and rush remains immature and incorrect. These souls who are here with a different mode of existence cannot cope with the hurried nature of normal learning and schooling method. They hold the knowledge and know-how, they have the ability to learn in their own unique ways but it calls for immense patience. When not given the time required they lose the confidence and strength. Many children who exhibited their innate abilities have shown tendency to droop, to detach and shrink in to their worlds. They seek more understanding. Right amount of patience can wipe the irritation and erratic behaviour children portray. It will help enormously to wait in patience allowing them to cope with the surroundings and gradually deliver what’s held in the system. They are as eager as we to share but are caught up with their own challenges.

Atmosphere of ordered activity

Children of new consciousness have scaled a particular height in their evolutionary cycle. They are on the verge of soul consciousness. They are aware of the sense of duty and responsibility and are keen to share and shoulder. With patience and care teachers can understand the natural traits and provide the right task and duty that will enhance their skills and confidence. This will eventually lead to a choice of vocation and career in their future lives.

Atmosphere of understanding

The understanding should be soft accompanied by the component of discipline. These souls are already holding a soul consciousness which is away and distant for majority many a time. Sensitivity in thoughts, words and actions can resolve lots of issues. Certain behavioral patterns spring out of the need for attention and extra care. Those can be met by attending to the actual need. They hold enormous sensitivity by nature, one need not struggle to show but only need to have the sincerity and understanding takes place. Kind gestures of love sink deeper in to them than multiple instructions.

Atmosphere in sync with nature

The body is of five elements. In nature, naturally, these five elements are in synchronicity and in a beautiful way support each other, work with each other and replace each other. In the natural nature, the air is something one wishes to breath and the water naturally has healing properties. The people of each country and continent learned and evolved to be part of their surroundings in a long run of generations. It is only during the past century or two with the industrialization that man has managed in some places to render his surroundings completely uninhabitable. Ironically, these places are the most densely populated areas of the globe. What does it tell of us and our tuning into the nature? When children actually think that meat comes from a shop, electricity from the plug and milk from the milk-man, we have drifted too far from the “mother of our physical vehicles” or “Mother Earth”.

It has been even scientifically proven that the best therapist and the cheapest one is the nature. Take a day off and go hug a tree, sit on a bank of a river and splash the water, take a walk in the fresh rain and let the sun filter through the foliage of a mango tree while gentle breeze touches your skin. Swim if you like or just feel the warmth of a huge boulder while you take a nap on it. This drops down the levels of stress hormones in your body more effectively than a costly visit to see a shrink who would ask: “And how did you feel about that?” “Healthy mind in a healthy body”, they say. “Body and mind are one”, they say. Fix one and the other is fixed. Move to an environment where the nature will heal the occupant and the same is achieved.

Features of New Age Education as channeled by Alice Bailey for the coming race

Building the Bridge of Love

The bridge of love is created when the old extends help to the new with the right understanding and intention. The new souls are eager to share and merge, thus making the bridge of love a complete process. It is a two way process, knowing and accepting them as they are and allowing the new understanding to chip and chisel the hindering blocks from us. It is not easy but not impossible either.

Grantha (to know)

Bhagavatha Purana refers to Jada Bharatha who remained mute and dumb to the outer world until a time where he was called to action. Jada Bharatha spoke pearls of wisdom leading the listener in to a state of unified consciousness. Our ancient granthas or scriptures refer to the different types of creation and varying features of mankind incarnate with the passage of time. Ten incarnations of Vishnu when looked from the dimension of mankind and evolution gives a whole new understanding. Matsya (fish) incarnation was when life was aquatic; Narasimha (half man half lion) was when mankind was evolving from basic animal instincts to refined consciousness. Sri Krishna as poorna avatara represented the state humanity can one day attain by conquering the lower mind and moving to the higher aspects of truth, love and wisdom. Understanding autism, change in the incarnating species and their consciousness is much easier and acceptable when perceived from the essence of our ancient scriptures. They represent the change much awaited and the opportunity provided. As Chandrakanth, a 12 year old autistic boy writes, “Autism is change, Autism is Gita and Autism is Ramana”.

Naada (to heal)

Application of sounds with children gave a new understanding of the power of sounds and their magical healing. The resonance of singing bowl helped to slowly integrate sound tolerance in to the system of an autistic child. Chanting of particular sounds helped to put an irritated child to sleep. Certain sounds from Vedic scriptures initiated focus and attention in a hyper active child. Vowel sounds soothed and stirred calmness in many, they communicated in silent gestures to chant, to sing, to play instruments, to provide healing. Nada can help these souls who are struggling to ground and grow. Sounds are a powerful tool to de-program ourselves, to re-create new programs and to influence our thought patterns. Sounds are also access codes to different channels in our mind. Sounds open channels that we often cannot access consciously or reach by rational thoughts or intent. It helps to connect to our Higher Consciousness and higher Spiritual Connections. An atmosphere of sounds and chants can heal not only children in turn helping them to be calm, clear and productive.

Spanda (to feel)

Matter that exists in nature is energy by nature. Energy has a frequency of vibration or Spanda. Being with autistic individuals require energy vibrating at a higher frequency to know and blend with them. This is better explained by Anthony, a young adult from US during his facilitative sessions.

"You see form. I see plasma. I understand reality through plasma. Its streams, density, frequency, motion, tone, and color determine information I receive. You depend on your senses and prior knowledge for interpretation. Thinking is your process. My process is direct knowing. Plasma is primary. I interpret its meaning directly. Each vision reflects a universal principle. It does not require language or thinking to understand. Tesla is in a position of direct knowing now. Plasma is seen by him just as it is seen by me. His soul also perceives past, present and future simultaneously. Vibration of the universe is pulse he now uses. He is easy to access as we share a similar perceptual awareness. While earthbound, he had many of the constraints you have. He was dependent on direct knowing but was limited by words, knowledge, and the conceptual awareness of his peers. Tesla is understood now better than he ever was in his lifetime”.

This is a beautiful expression of the Spanda at which they exist and vibrate. It is a message to the humanity to rise up to that, to raise the vibrations to a state which is unknown till now yet exhibited and proclaimed by the Rishis and Siddhas of ancient India. It is a clarion call from the collective consciousness of autism to take leap, to move ahead, to experience fresh zones. Such raise in the vibration can help to resolve existing conflicts making the bridging process easier.

Bandha (to ground)

Grounding is painful when anchoring to a space of limitation is the given task. Souls of the new race go through agony, to descend and ground when boundless is their natural state. In such a scenario only element that can help is bonding. As such, autistic individuals portray fewer emotions and hold a sense of detachment from persons and surroundings. Yet, they respond to the bond of love. They hold a different meaning for love; it is love devoid of preset formulas and ideas. It is love as it is. Where there is such love the possibility to ground and feel at ease is more. It is learning for the parents and care takers that Bandha is not about attachments but about deeper anchoring devoid of ideas and limitations. This will enhance the bridge and help them ground and relax.

Antahkarana (to co-create a world of love)

Antahkarana is the new science of mind. It is a bridge connecting the lower mind to higher self.  It was severed when in evolution humanity moved out of the higher consciousness to a predominating ego consciousness, an inevitable cycle of time. Building of Antahkarana would take the soul to a new peak of evolution. It is now a planetary need to have more beings anchoring the light. Master of ageless wisdom says, “Antahkarana, the symbolic bridge when constructed, will facilitate the stream of consciousness and will produce that continuity of consciousness, or that sense of unimpeded awareness which will finally end the fear of death, negate all sense of separateness and make man responsive in his brain consciousness to impressions coming from the higher spiritual realms or from mind of God. Thus he will more easily be initiated in to the purpose and plans of the Creator”.

Creation of Antahkarana can happen only in a space where lower instincts are dealt with. Light is the truth and darkness the other extreme of the same reality. Fear and greed are powerful elements of dark, it springs from expectations, need for acceptance or existence. One ought to conquer such elements to go with the flow of life. In such a state when there is ease and peace Antahkarana is activated. It is a beautiful bridge of light connecting us to the higher realms of light. Autistic individuals in their pure consciousness make this happen; they are urging us to do the same. Aligning the thought, word and deed is the tool to be with these beings of pure energy. It in turn will result in enhanced state of existence spreading the waves around.This is a time when physical vehicle holds the possibility of transformation, when the life force is not dormant at the lower energy centers but has the potential and strength to rise and merge with the higher chakras resonating more with unconditional state. This is a message that children carry and hence do not accept or adjust to anything that is not in alignment with love and unconditional service. Antahkarana is the need of the hour; it not only would help in building the bridge between races but also act as a channel to anchor love and light in a massive scale.

Ode to the Warriors of Light

When we say great things about our autistic children and fit the cloaks of emperors, rulers, masters and sages on their young shoulders we should not forget the ones who brought them into this world, gave them the physical vehicle and nurtured them in the best way they could. An invaluable and irreplaceable part of this equation is the role of parents.

Some say it is no accident in which family a soul takes a physical birth. Some say it is pre-destined and commonly agreed between all participants. Chance has nothing to do with it. It takes a sage or a visionary to go and know. Yet, the knowledge would not change the fact that the parents who have brought up, suffered the pains and fears, anxieties and doubts of raising a child so different from the norm of society are chosen as well. In the first pages of this booklet there is a poem that is meant for all the parents who took the pains and gains of bringing up an autistic child.

The part of a light worker or warrior is never an easy part filled with endless laughter. But the rewards that one may reap after treading the most difficult path correspond to the efforts put in walking. The life may be a struggle to manage, struggle to fulfill, struggle to sustain and what not even without a special child. When one is blessed with a being contradicting and contrasting everything that has been thought as a way of orderly being, one is thrown to face the most difficult of challenges, the mirror image of oneself.

The reason humanity is not enlightened is simply the fear people hold in looking to themselves. While bringing up an autistic child a parent has no option but become a raging beast or go deep into the self and resolve personal issues, limitations, fears and doubts.

Those brave who have stepped on that road will always reap the fruits of their decision. The more one is able to face the more personal weight one shall shake off from the shoulders. Autistic children are there to resolve their own karma and to take next steps on their personal evolution. Yet, they are there also to push forward their parents. An autistic child in a family is a blessing that should not be hidden or shamed but welcomed with joy. No other kid has such a potential to illuminate the whole egoic construct we call by the names given at birth. This solely springs from the fact that everything that is useless from the soul-perspective is rejected by them.

It is always easier said than done, this is a humble rendition to all those parents who welcomed souls who are different from the rest. Nature has its unique ways of giving and receiving. It is an enigma, hard to understand. One fact that goes without doubt is that this gesture of parenting will bring clarity beyond expectations in terms of growth and evolution of soul. With such a demanding child one can’t help but chop, reduce, give up, change and in turn evolve.

We salute all those warriors of light and love.

Divya Rasa – Temple of Love

Divya Rasa – Centre for healing, learning, research and communication. That is the name which was heard in a dream some years back. Temple of Love is a simplified or condensed version of all above. But what is it projected to be like? To start with, we are here to create something new. The old religions, dogmas and traditions have been served, tested and disfigured to almost unrecognizable although the message they carry has not changed a bit. God is love holds true independent of race, gender, stature of evolution or form of existence. Rest is the fine-tuned arts and mechanics of the Maya.

Hence, the core of Divya Rasa is the transformation towards unconditional Love. That has been the core of any religious or spiritual teaching as well. Yet, now we are dealing with a new race of human beings coming on earth with novelty of devices and incompatibility with current conditions. That is why a new province, a ground of growth is needed desperately.

Divya Rasa is a place of learning. There is not a single one coming to Divya Rasa who would not come to learn. As long as one holds attachments, one is not free. Let freedom be our goal. Hence, let the aversions and attractions subside. Let the clinginess disappear and the selfish motives be uprooted. Let us learn that in Divya Rasa so that the unconditional love may shine forth. This is not an easy task but the autistic savants are like a polished mirror for the facilitators and teachers to learn about their shortcomings.

Pure from within, they are reluctant to pay heed to communication other than unconditional and loving. They have their own work in their inner realms and they need their focus and attention not to wander too far. Autism is in a way shielding them from being distracted away from their goals. Wishing to help them, one’s rationale and reason will fall short very fast. Only thing that can reach and tap their mission is intuition. When one’s intuition flows free and love is the base of existence, one has reached a state where there exist common grounds with these autistic children. Other than that, one will be constantly poked to reflect more on one’s own self, to let go and work on the short-comings. Hence, the children by their very existence are the teachers and masters the modern man now desperately needs.

The times of gurus and disciples, traditions and religions are coming to an end. Or at least the form is changing. These are the days of the false gurus and paid teachers who sell enlightenment 500 rupees cheaper than the other guy in the next ashram. The flipside of the coin with our autistic teachers is that they too are in desperate need of help and support. As their mission and state is what it is, they find it amazingly difficult to exist in the society, let alone dream of living a life full of meaning. Their nature, standards and characteristics are such that modern society cannot help but try to shove them in some corner where they cause least trouble among the already troubled.

Divya Rasa is by definition planned to be a place where these children can maximize the benefit of being in a human body. It is a place where the surroundings are such that their hyper-sensitivity will be taken into account and treated in a manner enabling them to feel more at ease with their bodies. Natural environment, ample space, elements of nature, animals and plants, therapy rooms and facilitators, less of confusing energies and possibilities to withdraw, take part, exist as one needs to are vital for an individual who does not feel comfortable in the body. Nothing much can be achieved in a constant stress.

When the stress is brought down by meeting the conditions, the change and the adaptation may begin. Until then the life is of survival, of waiting. When the body is ailing and paining, the mind grows restless and learning of new becomes impossible. When the physical conditions are reversed, also the inner state will begin to clarify.

It is already evident to most that these children of new age come with totally different abilities to communicate and view the world. They hail with celestial vistas, having it as a base knowledge that human body is a temporary vehicle for the cosmic traveler the soul is. They can fathom technologies that may be hundreds of years away and they may carry within them the keys for many vital break-through for the mankind. But they feel the humanity is faulty with its minds being lost in Maya, or the grand illusion of God.

Yet, they also need to learn to exist in the bodies and on the planet Earth, which is now mostly inhabited by people who do not know telepathy and need words and concepts to communicate. Earth is a planet of egos and misunderstandings, selfish motives, deep-rooted habitual patterns, unfulfilled desires, disappointment, excitement, fulfillment etc. Temporary is a good word to describe the life on Earth. Yet, the temporary is the other side of the Divine existence. As Shiva and Sakthi, the ultimate, immobile truth exists only in the never-constant change. To be a part of human life is to be part of that messy soup called life.

It has to be given to these children that they are the fore-runners of the new race and face the hardest of hits of misunderstanding and ignorance as their existence and appearance is not appreciated. However, there are ways to learn to live in maya as well; these bold ones who come first will in their turn be the ones who teach the next waves. It is in this way the ones working in Divya Rasa to teach and facilitate can give invaluable aid to the new-comers.

Many autistic savants have proved their capabilities to communicate in various ways but they prefer to stay silent. They may still need to do that for their own sake. They may also be giving us hints to tune in and learn new ways. It has been shown by many that they are able to read minds like we are able to read books. For them the distance or body seems hardly a limitation to reveal or examine things. Time seems too often be but a flight of steps one needs to ascend or descend. They exist in a different world and would help the ones who will and need it through novel ways of communication.

The truth is that reading minds and communicating through thought-forms is not a novel thing on Earth. Yet, it is a novelty that these things are brought into daylight so frequently. Yogic and meditative traditions speak about siddhis when it comes to supernatural skills. In earlier days siddhis have been considered in genuine spiritual traditions curiosities and perhaps even hindrances in the path as there has been no real practical value of possessing such skills. The nature of mind is also such that it easily gets entangled in the curiosities when the actual hard work is of lesser interest. However, the days have come when these skills are a tangible part of increasing number of individuals who may greatly benefit from them. It is also a form of communication that requires an unconditional, non-manipulative and loving bond lest it becomes a dangerous liaison. Communication through facilitative writing or telepathy are not only essential tools to exchange ideas and thoughts, also ways of practicing detachment, spiritual purity, surrender and love.

Divya Rasa carries also research in its name. Research is a vast term, and as always when it comes to the old and new race co-existing, we have different sides to the same word. Research to understand, interact, help and co-exist with the autistic individuals has been going on for decades. Yet, being a residential commune aiming to provide the needed for its inhabitants, we cannot but go on researching. Young individuals need guidance and teaching and the methods are yet unknown to us who are there to teach. To be frank, the Project Love itself is a research program as no one has ever pulled out it.

On the other hand, we have got inclinations and teasers of what a wealth of wisdom, knowledge and potential inventions lie in the minds of autistic children. Many have claimed their wishes for a scientific career and some have put out very specific specs of the projected line of action. Hence, the research is there for the whole of the mankind. We do not know anything for a fact but we hold faith that these children, given the opportunity, have potential to bring new visions and innovations to various branches of science. This is something the humanity is currently in need of as we have reached a point where the Earth itself is revolting.

A poem from siddhas

Samayam saamanyam chalanam chapalyam

chalanam chaturyam samayam sankalpam

samayam sameepyam chalanam vyathastham

chalanam sankeernam samayam Sayoojyam

It's small desires which keep time running

See through facades with acts sharp and stunning

As time slows down acts empty waning

Movement of stillness is Sivam abiding

Time in its timelessness is ever changing. In the core of time exists the change. The change itself is movement. Anything that takes a shift from a particular state or form of existence to another is in movement. This movement in accordance with time exhibit past, present or future. Time and movement are interdependent as there can’t be time without movement. The soul exists in time and motion to live and experience what ought to be. In the inevitable journey of the spirit several notions are to be experienced until the notion of time is transcended to be in the Now. During the experience, souls, experiencing being separate from the Absolute slowly transcend the separation to be in oneness. Siddhas are beings who exemplified their lives dwelling in practices several to go beyond the time to experience the timelessness. This verse refers to various stages a soul goes through before reaching the state of Sayoojyam, becoming one with the Source.

The going of time is normally perceived as chronological passage from what was to and what is to come. Desires and temptations keep the journey in motion. One can make efforts to run away or reach, yet the unfulfilled desires seem to lie somewhere in the future, unreachable at this point of time. Thus, there is a future to be waiting for and there is the past as well.

Timely taken actions of inspiration, whether big and exceptional or small and daily have the power to wipe of the illusion of time and bring about the complete awareness. In this state, the time does not seem to move. One comes across such an experience not necessarily by following any ardent practice. It is in every ones share, special are these moments. This is a glimpse behind the curtain of our illusory world, made out of our own fears, desires, attachments and expectations. Hence, these moments are very much the Truth revealed to us. Yet, it goes unnoticed or with undeserved attention by many.

The closer in tune with the nature or when inspiration is in alignment with the universal principle, slower the time seems to run. Existence or movement in such a stage start to reveal the hidden undercurrents behind the facades of impressions. A careful observer learns to see and hear past words and deeds to the deeper motives of actions. One learns to be aware whether the other person is acting from an impulse of a trace of past memory or an unfulfilled desire, or whether the words and deeds are truly fresh and unique, said and done for the first time in this Universe. For a person accustomed to be an observer rather than the key role player (one can be both though, although it takes a solid, spiritually evolved being for such an undertaking) such nuances become self-evident and a much more important guiding factor in life than the given expressions and gestures.

Being an observer within and a truthful actor to inspiration, one will grow calm and content within. Having rid oneself from constantly reaching for unfulfilled desires, one can only hasten the realization of those desires and the freedom of their tying power to the ordinary time. The need for attachment now vanes away and the desires come true, crafting the calmness and the contentedness a permanent inner state. This indeed is a complex state, ‘sankeernam’ as referred. A soul when dwelling in inner peace is eager to leave the realm of action and movement to be in the state of pure being. Sankeernam also refers to the stages nine, the much aspired and sought after consciousness when the engrams engraved and accumulated are cleansed of all the nine passages in the physical vehicle denoting a total transformation. Annihilation of ego takes place, this is a real prerequisite for the love to flow freely and fill the being. When this happens, the actions will start to become one with the Universe, the actor learns its role naturally and can merge with Siva state eternally, to be in the state of Sayoojyam.

Conclusion or The beginning

Guided by the Masters of wisdom and led by the love and spirit of children we located a piece of land in the lap of Mount Arunachala surrounded by lush green fields, a pond and banyan trees. There we sowed the seeds of love, faith and hope wrapped in the sheath of dreams. We now spend the dawn and dusk talking to the grains of dust and whispering to the winds the plans of adepts. We as tools of nature work towards co-creating a dream space where children can come to be, just to be.

Invitation was given eons ago and they were received by many in spirit. Now is the time to respond, we wait in eagerness, in love…

Come to co-create the space, the Temple of Love!!!
