Occult Vibratory Chemistry existed in India by the name of



Tantra.

Tantra is derived from two Sanskrit words - Thanoti ( to

expand ) & Trayaten ( to liberate). This Science has the

power to expand and liberate !

Expansion means to grow beyond one's boundaries. Expansion

upto Infinity. Thanothi means the expansion of Consciousness

ad infinitum.Individual consciousness should expand to

Universal Consciousness for mergence in the Supreme Self.

Trayate means to liberate, to liberate man from bondgage,

from the Seven Deadly Sins which bind him to the sublunar

world. The purging of mortal dross is a must for

Self-Actualisation and the " inner enemies of man " Lust,

greed, anger, jealousy, sloth, covetousness & attachment )

are the real blocks in the way of Self Actualisation

Liberation is not possible without expansion of

Consciousness. When our individual Consciousness expands to

Cosmic, we feel whole & are liberated from the thraldom of

matter.

The Upanishadic Philosophy was based on the Five Concentric

Sheaths known as the Five Koshas. The outermost concentric

Sheath, the Anna Maya Kosha, is known as the Material

Sheath. It envelopes the other four sheaths - vital,

mental, intellectual & bliss.

Tantra, on the other hand, speaks about the Six Chakras,

dynamoes of Cosmic Energy in the human body.

These Chakras are ( in ascending order)

1. Root Chakra ( Muladhara ) 2. Anal Chakra ( Manipura )

3. Solar Plexus Chakra ( Swadhistana ) 4. Heart Chakra (

Anahata ) 5. Throat Chakra ( Vishuddhi ) 6. Eyebrow Chakra

( Ajna )

The Five Great Elements ( Earth, air, water, fire & ether )

& Mind reside in the Six Chakras.

Earth-Principle resides in the Root Chakra Water-Principle

resides in the Navel Chakra Fire-Principle resides in the

Solar Plexus Chakra Air-Principle resides in the Heart

Chakra Ether-Principle resides in the Throat Chakra

Mind-Principle resides in the Eye Brow Chakra.

The Microscomic representative of the Macrocosmic Shakti (

Cosmic Power ), the Kundalini, sportest as the Six

principles in the Six Chakras in Her Cosmic Play.

O Infinite Power ! Thou art the Mind-principle in the Eye

brow Chakra In the Throat Chakra , Thou sport as the

Ether-principle In the Heart Chakra, Thou sportest as Air-

principle In the Solar Plexus Chakra, Thou art

Fire-principle In the Navel Chakra , Thou exist as

Water-principle In the Root Chakra, Thou art the Earth

_Principle, O Mighty Mother ! And in the Crown Chakra, Thou

sportest blissfully with thy beloved Consort !

She lies coiled in human beings as the Coiled Serpent Power

( Kundalini). She rises during Mediation and Yogic

processes.

Her rise can be felt by the meditator. When She rises, a

subtle warmth will be felt in the body. Voice changes. Voice

becomes musical, " propertied as the tuned spheres". The

personality of the native becomes very attractive due to the

influx of Jupiterian energy. Wisdom and learning grace the

individual. When She rises furthur, torrential bliss will be

felt. And when She reaches the Crown Chakra, it is Cosmic

Consciousness for the native !

She sports as Universal Power in the Macrocosm; and in the

microcosm as the coiled Serpent Power!

Infinite Power of the Absolute art Thou! The Cause of the

Universe as Maya The entire Creation is Thy Play Thy

blessing is Bliss Absolute !

The essence of all sciences art Thou All women Thy

manifestations ! The visible Universe Thou art And the

dormant Serpentine Power !

One of the pioneers in Tantra Research was Sir John

Woodroffe , who had written many scholarly treatises on the

subject. His magnum opus is the "Serpent Power", which is a

scientific treatise about the Kundalini. His practice of

Tantra endowed him with personal magnetism. He became the

cynosure of all eyes. There was a special lustre on his

face, he possessed the Golden Tongue of Good Report & there

was a spiritual halo around him. He had developed his Auric

Field ( the human electro-magnetic field ) due to Tantric

techniques and bacame a dynamo of spiritual energy. His

masterly book is a scientific diagnosis about Tantra.

The heart and vocal nervous centers are intimately related

physiologically. Bhava Shuddhi or purity of Heart makes the

voice innocent and musical. The true Initiate is he whose

voice is true and who possesses the Golden Tongue of Good

Report!

The Cosmic Shakti is the Force behind the Universe & the

entire Universe is her play & display. Kundalini is Her

microcosmic representation. She has been depicted as the

Mother Goddess in Pagan philosophies.

Nature is visible Intelligence; Intelligence is invisible

Nature. The Spiritual & the Natural are not different. That

which is spiritual is natural in its ascent & cause. That

which is natural is spiritual in its descent and being.

She is the female component of the Ultimate and all systems

deal with the male and the female components of Reality. The

male component is He ! Consciousness and Force, the Supreme

Self and Nature, Matter and Spirit, Being and Becoming, the

One and the Innumerable, the Formless and then a delirium of

Forms - She and He, two in one, inseparable ! He, outside

Time, outside Space, pure Being, pure Consciousness, the

Great White Silence wherein everything is contained in a

state of involution, contained, yet formless !

She flings forth from Him in an outburst of joy, again to

find Him playing in Time, She and He, two in one ,

inextricable! Can Nature exist without her Lord ? Can He

exist without Nature ?

This is the Purusha and Prakriti of Sankhya, the Brahman and

Maya of Vedanta , the Sive and Shakti of Tantra !

Without Him, I exist not Without Me, He is unmanifest ! -

The Mother of Auroville

It is due to Her Grace that a man becomes a material

success. It is She who gives the successful man the

indomitable Will Power needed for success.

On the other hand, it is also Her Grace which giveth

spiritual success. It is She who gives the devotee the

necessary Self-knowledge, makes him do altruistic acts &

leads him to Self-Actualisation. In other words, She has two

aspects, material & spiritual and Her Grace is absolutely

necessary for success in both the spheres. .

It is said that She, as the Prakriti ( Nature ) of Purusha (

Supreme Self), is the base of the Universe & when She

becomes supremely pleased with the devotee, confers on him

Self-Actualisation !

She is the Creatrix, She is the Mediatrix, She is the

Dispensatrix and the Executrix of the absolute mechanism of

Universal Justice.

Power is Divine and not to be condemned

It is this Power aspect of Consciousness which India has

depicted as the Divine Mother. It is a mistake of the

ethical and the religious mind to condemn Power as something

unworthy because it is in its very nature corrupting and

evil. Despite arguments to the contrary ( Power corrupts and

absolute Power corrupts absolutely), Power, Shakti, Will is

the mover of the worlds and basically is spiritual in origin

and divine in character !

A Power to call Eternity into Time And make the body's joy

as vivid as the soul's !.

The highest philosophic concept is that of the

Philosopher-King, he who possesses powers both eternal and

temporal. They were known as Raja-Rishies in India. Lord

Rama, Lord Krishna, King Janaka were all Raja-Rishies.

Marcus Aurelius & Augustus Caesar in the West were also

reputed Philosopher-Kings. They did not renounce power !

Tantra as related to Astrology

Tides are caused by the Moon. The human body is 65% water. (

Even the Archbishop of Canterbury is 65% water ). If Moon

can effectuate tides, what effect will he have on the human

body which is predominantly water? And what about the

effects of other planets ?

The New Age Movement

New Age - A Paradigm Shift to Divine Consciousness & a

Universal Philosophy

The New Age Movement (NAM) is a revival of spiritual and

divine values and can be called as a Divine Regeneration

Movement. New Age Philosophy has conquered the West

intellectually and Western culture is currently experiencing

a phenomenal shift - sociological, spiritual & ideological.

It's a secular, multi-cultural, multi-religious synthesis,

of the Oriental mystical philosophies, mainly Hinduism,

Buddhism, Taoism & Western Occultism, emphasising Holism,

the doctrine that Reality is organically One ( now taught in

American Universities after Einstein's Theory of Relativity

). Behind the evolution of the species, there is an

evolution of Consciousness. The aim of Life is

Self-Actualisation, to evolve to the level of Unity

Consciousness, defined as the 7th state of Consciousness in

Transcendental Philosophy.

The social disturbance caused by the Vietnam War, the threat

posed by AIDS, the disillusionment with materialistic ideas

and the erosion of faith in Morality & Ethics brought a

sense of futility & meaninglessness in the Western

psyche.The limitations of the Western system of Chemotherapy

& adverse side-effects of antibiotics, sedatives and certain

other drugs and the disillusionment with the promises of

science & technology made millions turn to Oriental

philosophies, occult practices & systems of therapy.(

Interest in Alternative Medicine developed to such an extent

that there are now more than 180 systems of Alternative

Medicine. Exponents of New Age Philosophy in Europe and

America include Transcendentalists like Thoreau, Emerson &

Walt Whitman, Wordsworth, Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772), ,

& Theosophy introduced by Madame Helena Blavatsky (1831-

1891) & Col Olcott & the philosopher, Annie Besant. As the

world witnessed a Consciousness Revolution, Transcendental

Meditation, Yoga ,Zen, Carlos Castañada, the Beatles,

Holistic Medicine ( both Western and Ayurveda ), Tantra,

Astrology ( both Western & Vedic ) all became popular .

There are 6 million New Age sites on the Web and the NAM

consists of a massive & well organised network consisting of

thousands of groups, trusts, foundations, clubs, lodges, and

spiritual groups whose goal and purpose is to prepare the

world to enter the coming Aquarian Age. ( The Age of

Aquarius ). In astrological symbolism, Aquarius represents

Spirituality and Pisces Rationality. The Piscean Age, an age

of Computer and Cybernetics revolution, will be followed by

an Age of Consciousness Revolution or a Spiritual

Revolution, the Aquarian Age.

Some New Age Organisations are : California New Age Caucus,

New World Alliance, World Goodwill, The Church Universal and

Triumphant, The Theosophical Society, Amnesty International,

Zero Population Growth, the Forum, Planetary Initiative for

the World We Choose, the Club of Rome, Church Universal &

Triumphant, Christian Science, and the Unity School of

Christianity.

New Age believes in the essential goodness of Man and the

Divine Spark in Man and the New Age movement is not a

unified cult system of beliefs and practices, even though

its roots derive from Vedic Philosophy. There is no central

authority, no official leader, no headquarters, nor

membership list, but instead is a network of groups working

toward World Peace and Universal Love. There are millions of

worldwide followers of various New Age practices and the

world is moving from Chaos ( Disorder ) to Cosmos ( Order )

! This is a Phase Transition from Entropy ( Disorder ) to

Order !

Significant influence has been gained by NAM affecting

almost every area of Occidental culture -- Sociology,

Psychology, Medicine, the Government, Ecology, Science,

Arts, Education, the Business Community, the media,

entertainment, sports, and even the Church. Organised

spiritual forms such as Christian Science, Unity and even

forms of Witchcraft ( from the German ' Wicca' meaning the

Wise; Witchcraft means the Craft of the Wise ) are all its

expressions. Various Human Potential Seminars,

Transcendental Meditation, Zen Meditation and some

Alternative Holistic Medicine practices are also its

manifold manifestations.

Some popular New Age publications and journals are New Age

Journal, the Z Files, Clarity, Body Mind Spirit, Yoga

Journal, Gnosis, East West, Noetic Sciences, the Millenium

Being and Omega. The new tendency of people now is to view

everything from a New Age perspective

The major goal of the New Age Movement is to prepare Man for

entering the Aquarian Age and to bring world peace in an

already bruised world. "All is wrong with the world" said

Shaw & some of the other goals of the NAM are to establish

an entirely New World Order in the fields of Economy &

Government. The idea of a World Government was proposed by

Bernard Shaw earlier and was implemented by Mahesh Yogi and

occurs in the writings of the foundational apostle of the

New Age Movement, Alice Bailey.

The word 'Initiation" is derived from the Latin "In ire" to

go within and Initiates were termed by the Great Master as

the salt of the Earth. The mystic Ward defined Reality as

"Within and within and within and within" . Another mystic

described it as "It is hidden, it is hidden and it is

hidden". To the mystic, self evolution is the means and only

by changing and correcting ourselves can we change others .

The primary goals of the movement then, are to prepare the

world to receive the Divine Consciousness and to enter the

Age of Aquarius, thus establishing the New World Order.

New Age Philosophy believes that human evolution can be

accelerated, if not in the entire mass of humanity, at least

in suitable individuals. Human nature is perfectible,

through an intensive process of purification and Initiation.

The New Age Movement is secular & universally diffused over

the earth's surface & its basic underlying philosophy

emphasises Gnosticism and Occultism. (Gnosticism is an

ancient philosophy stating that Divine essence is the

highest reality, and that the Self of man is actually this

Essence. Behind the phenomenal world is the Transcendent

Reality which Intuition alone can see ). It bears a

remarkable resemblance to the Universal Religion that H.G.

Wells predicted would one day take over the world.

The six main characteristics of New Age thinking are: (1)

All is Unity; (2) All is Divine (3) Humanity is divine (4) A

change in Consciousness; (5) All religions are One; and (6)

Cosmic Evolutionary optimism. Basically Dialectical

Integralism, New Age Philosophy unites b
