Om Om Om

• I welcome you all. I welcome you all with my love and blessings.

• All the devotees, disciples, samajis, satsanghis, I welcome all of you with my love and blessing.

• Paramashiva’s direct message on this auspicious Pattabhishekam Day, Meenakshi Pattabhishekam Day, on this auspicious coronation day:

• Parama Satyas about the Cosmic law, country law, Conscious sovereignty, religious autonomy, Parama Satyas about these great Truths, these great Principles.

• Listen!

• Paramashiva in His pure Oneness space, He remains as HE. When He manifests as many and celebrates Himself, He manifests Jagat and celebrates Himself.

• And when He manifests as many and celebrates Himself, the smaller components celebrating the Jagat because of the powerful presence of Him starts feeling they are Jeeva and they are enjoying Jagat.

• Listen! Listen carefully.

For example, even though you enjoy the sweet through your tongue, sometimes your tongue feels it is enjoying the sweet because you are alive in your tongue. Because you are alive in your tongue, tongue feels it is enjoying the world, pleasure, sweet.

• Same way, the part of Paramashiva which is enjoying the world – Jagat, starts feeling it is Jeeva and it is enjoying the world, but it feels it is alive because of Paramashiva's presence.

• Sometimes, the tongue forgets it is enjoying the sweetness because of the presence of the Consciousness. Same way, the Jeeva starts thinking it's enjoying the world because of himself and not remembering he himself is alive because He is alive, His presence gives him the feeling of being alive. This is the way Jeeva, Eshwara, Jagat manifest.

• Now listen!

• The world enjoyed by Eshwara is ‘THE world’. The Eshwara's Jagat is ‘The Jagat’, ‘THE world’.

• What Jeeva enjoys is ‘his world’ - a part of Paramashiva, part of Eshwara enjoys part of ‘the world’.

• Part of Eshwara enjoys part of ‘THE world’ which is ‘MY world’. So, what Jeeva enjoys is ‘MY world’.

• As long as Jeeva is entangled with ‘my world’, Jeeva will feel he is ‘separate entity’ and as long as the interaction with ‘my world’ is there, Jeeva will feel he is separate from Shiva, Eshwara. If Jeeva starts seeing ‘THE world’, he will remember he is Eshwara and Eshwara's ‘THE world’ only will exist. ‘My world’ will disappear and dissolve.

• Understand the Truths, these Paramasatyas: Paramashiva in his Oneness, exists, enjoys, celebrates himself and he decides to become many and celebrate himself, enjoy himself. So, he manifests as Jagat, the world. Then, when he is enjoying ‘the world’, Jagat, part of him starts feeling that part is enjoying independent of the Whole, the Jagat, and that part is called Jeeva and the world enjoyed by the Jeeva is ‘my world’.

• The Jeeva's world... I'll give you one example. At night, we perceive stars to be right next to each other.

• But in reality, they are millions of years apart! Listen! At night, we perceive stars to be next to each other in our world, the Jeeva's ‘my world’, in ‘our world’. But in reality, they are millions of light years apart. In Paramashiva's ‘the world’, in Paramashiva's Jagat, they are millions of light years apart. But in the Jeeva, individual soul’s ‘my world’, it is perceived as stars to be right next to each other. Light takes millions of years to reach earth from stars.

• Paramashiva sees them millions of light years apart but Jeeva sees them right next to each other. Do you see? What you see is not what is. Light takes millions of years to reach earth from stars.

• Light year is the distance light travels in one year which is nearly six trillion miles. Light traverses Cosmic distances at infinite speed, meaning, we witness stars as they were, not as they are. For example, the Virgo, cluster galaxies, appear to us as they existed when dinosaurs roamed earth! And Betelgeuse star might have already exploded into supernova. Yet, we still see it as a star for next 600 years!

• So understand, we don't see reality. We see history unfolding!

• The Betelgeuse star might have exploded into supernova, yet we still see it as a star for next 600 years. So we don't see reality, we see history unfolding!

• There is one more layer, one more truth you need to understand: We don't see reality; our brain creates them!

• Listen!

• Human vision works by collecting quick snapshots of the world, not a smooth live stream. Our eyes and brain process 60 images per second. We call it click critical flicker fusion rate. When our eyes move quickly, it's called saccades. There are brief moments when we don't see anything. That space is saccadic suppression. But our brain fills in those gaps. It's called perpetual interpolation. There is also a short delay - the neural processing delay - about hundred milliseconds before we actually see what is happening. So what we experience as a continuous view is really our brain stitching together many quick images and filling in the blanks!

• So understand!

• Viveka Chudamani beautifully says: mano hasyendriya kramam prakashiyati sarvataha swapne jagarativa sarvam mana kalpitamevahi

• Translation: Mind alone illuminates the senses. Whether in waking or dream states, everything is a projection of mind.

• So Viveka Chudamani beautifully reveals the mind's role in constructing reality akin to perpetual interpolation.

• mano hasyendriya kramam prakashiyati sarvataha swapne jagarativa sarvam mana kalpitamevahi

• So listen... the next Truth:

• Yoga Vaasishta’s chapter 7, 14th verse clearly says:

yatha soumyai kenamrit pindena sarvam mrinmayam vijnaatham syaat

• Translation: Just as by knowing one lump of clay, all clay objects are understood as mere names and forms, so too, the universe is projection of the mind's perception.

• So, mind plays an important role in shaping perceived reality akin to neural processing creating coherence from fragments.

• Again, Mandukya Upanishad's Gautapada Karika says in the first canto, 16th verse

• swapnaanantho swapnaanthe yata vijnaate vishwam tvatitam jagat maya maatra midam dvaitam advaitam paramarthataha

• Translation: Just as the dream world dissolves upon waking, this universe, is merely an illusion of duality. Non-duality alone is the Ultimate Truth.

• So understand: The Parama satya, Paramarthika satya and Vyaavakaarika satya…

• So how, waking to reality, waking reality to a dream, you realize, the brain constructed the dream, same way, this whole duality perceived is ‘maya maatramidam’. When you wake up, it is Paramadvaita!

• Listen! Listen to the next powerful cognition, the next Truth.

• Now you need to understand: The Cosmic law is different, how Cosmos functions is different and how you perceive is different. So what all of us perceive as life, based on that, we make laws… we make laws. That is called ‘country law’.

• Listen.

• What exists as Cosmos, its laws, its way of working, way of functioning, way of existing, everything is different. What all of us perceive as ‘the world’ is different. But, we all need to exist, coexist as a society. So for all of us, for our convenience, we create certain laws, that is called country law. Prapancha Satyas (Prapancha - Cosmic) are different, Prapancha Dharma is different. Desha satyas (desha - country) are different and desha dharma is different.

• Listen!

• Country law is only an agreement between human beings. It's like traffic rules: ‘Hey! In the red light, you should not move. Give place... give road for others to move... who have green light, so accidents will be avoided.’ It is simple understanding amongst us like traffic rules.

• Same way, country law is made by us for our comfort. But unfortunately, human beings start thinking, country law is a solution for all our problems of life. No. Understanding Cosmic law is only the solution for all.

• When a mass is not capable to understand Cosmic law, country law should be only a stop gap arrangement.

• Listen! Scholars from Cambridge University have documented how Nationalism can act as a modern religion replacing universal Cosmic moral frameworks with the laws and values for the nation state when a state law is projected as absolute rather than as a practical provisional system. This can foster exclusion, intolerance and even violence as seen in historical examples like Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin. I am giving you the link for the source. Source is ‘Nationalities papers’. I am projecting the link. If you have time, go and read this and understand what I am saying.

• All I am trying to tell you is, Cosmic law is different, country law is different.

• I have a small story: As his disciple during satsang, Guru asks: Tell me what is the difference between Cosmic law and country law. Disciple says, ‘Cosmic law is Paramashiva's command, country law is parking rules.’ Guru asks: Good! What happens if you break Cosmic law?’ Disciple: You get reborn again and again. Guru asks, ‘What happens if you break country law?’ Disciple: ‘You just pay a fine and keep doing it until you get elected!’

• Understand!

• Listen to the truth, Paramasatya.

• The Masters who were in the state of Paramadvaita, who know the Cosmic law, designed country law to align the mass to the Cosmic law. That country law is Dharma.

• Listen! You need a country law. Without country law you can't run, coexist as a society. But, the country law designed by those who know the Cosmic law to align the mass to Cosmic law is called Dharma.

• Now, understand the next Truth along with me.

• Shivajnana pradam sarvam saasanam samyakireetham tatajnat paasabandhaaya tasmaajnaana namaacharet

• - Kamika Agama, Vidya Pada, 3rd Canto 5th sloka

• Translation: All governance should impart knowledge of Shiva, the Cosmic Truth. Other laws only blind. Hence follow wisdom oriented laws – Dharma.

• So listen!

• Kailasa is created with the country law called ‘Manuvaathi Dharma Shastras’, so you are moved towards Cosmic law, you are not moved away from the Cosmic law. That is why Kailasa's Jurisprudence - Dharma - moves you towards Cosmic law.

• The reason why Paramashiva manifested Kailasa is, even through the country law, you should be moved constantly towards Cosmic law. Manuvaathi Dharma Shastras does that job. That is why Manuvaathi Dharma Shastras are the Jurisprudence in Kailasa.

• Shiva jnaana pradam sarvam saasanam samyakeeritham tadanyat paasa bandhaaya tasmaath ajnaanam aacharet

• Listen to the next truth.

• Sarvajnanottara Agama explains beautifully:

• Shiva Dharmaaha Samasthaahi Mokshaayaiva Prakirtithaaha Thepyonayat Paasa Bandhaaya tasmaathaan Samupacharet

• Translation: As I explained now, the Shaivite laws are proclaimed solely for liberation. Other laws only bind and swallow this Shiva Dharma.

• Paramashiva manifested Kailasa having Shiva Dharma as the country law. So even by following this Dharma, you are only moved towards Paramashiva! You are not moved away from Paramashiva.

• Listen! Where you live matters, your country law matters for your spiritual growth. You can't be in a country where applying bhasma and walking freely and doing your job is banned and expect you to achieve Paramashiva. No!

• You have to be in a country where applying the bhasma with the remembrance of Paramashiva and living with Paramashiva's bhakti, Paramashiva Jnana, Paramashiva Vijnana and Paramadvaita is law! Where Paramadvaita is the legal requirement! When you live only in that country, in that ecosystem, you achieve Paramadvaita naturally. Otherwise, many times, the country law and social intimidations moves you away from Paramashiva, Cosmic law and Paramadvaita.

• Kurma Purana says very clearly:

• Raja dharmaaha prajaa rakshaamye chaanye laukikaa smrutaaha sarvete dharmashaastra gnyair nirmithaaha shaashvatam dhiya

• Means... king's laws for public welfare and other worldly laws are framed by Dharmashastra scholars but they are transient compared to eternal Dharma. So we should always keep eternal Dharma as the first priority and align this country's laws to eternal Dharma, to eternal laws!

• Today, we are celebrating Meenakshi's Pattabhishekam. Listen! Meenakshi has three dimensions: Guru, Linga, Sangha. Meenakshi, when she lived in her body, is Guru; her deity is Linga; the ecosystem she created is Sangha. The ecosystem she created, the nation she administered, was on Manu Dharma Shastra. Repeatedly, all the Meenakshi Puranas including Shiva Leela Arnava documents: Meenakshi ran Madurai kingdom, Pandya kingdom; from Madurai she ruled all three worlds based on Manuvaathi Dharmashastras because the Manuvaathi Dharmashastras align beings to Cosmic law, Cosmic dharma. So if we are really Meenakshi's devotees, disciples surrendered to Meenakshi, we should take care of Meenakshi - the Guru, Meenakshi - the Linga, Meenakshi - the Sangha she created. Meenakshi - the Sangha she created, is not just land-based, it is land and space based. So we should create the same ecosystem space.

• Paramashiva and Meenakshi manifested this Kailasa to recreate, revive Meenakshi - the Guru, Meenakshi - the Linga, Meenakshi - the Sangha; the sangha Meenakshi manifested, administered through Manuvaathi Dharmashastras to align people to Paramadvaita - Cosmic dharma. Paramashiva and Meenakshi manifested this Kailasa for the same purpose.

• Now you should all understand why Paramashiva manifested this Kailasa...because we need an ecosystem where Manuvaathi Dharmashastras are the Jurisprudence and people are constantly moved towards the Cosmic law, Paramadvaita Dharma, Paramadvaita Satya.

• So understand, real celebration of Meenakshi's Pattabhishekam is, reviving Meenakshi's kingdom – ecosystem. What Meenakshi did should be revived. That is the real celebration of Meenakshi Pattabhishekam. Paramashiva and Meenakshi manifested Kailasa as a celebration... real celebration of Meenakshi Pattabhishekam, by reviving Meenakshi's kingdom, ruling three worlds - Tribhuvanas - based on Dharmashastras, so all beings move towards Cosmic dharma Paramadvaita Sathya, Paramadvaita Anubhuti.

• So understand: I have a beautiful verse from Haalaasya Mahatmya’s ‘Skaanda Purana’:

• Meenakshi shivagnana daayinyai naatha roopinyai gurumurthaye namastubhyaam sarvasanga namaskrita

• Listen!

• Meenakshi shivagnana daayinyai naatha roopinyai gurumurthaye namastubhyaam sarvasanga namaskritaaha

• Translation: Salutations to Meenakshi - the bestower of Shivagnana, the Supreme Knowledge of Shiva - Paramadvaita Anubhuti, who has the form of the Guru, who is the very form of the Lord, who is worshipped by all the Saints and the Sangha, the Pandya kingdom.

• Understand: Only if you understand this, you will also understand how the Shiva bhaktas say:

• Mataacha parvati devi pitha devo maheshwaraha baandhava shiva bhaktaascha swadesho bhuvanathrayam

• For shiva bhaktas,

• Mataacha parvati devi pitha devo maheshwaraha baandhava shiva bhaktaascha swadesho bhuvanathrayam

• Translation: The three worlds is their nation because Meenakshi ran all the three worlds - tribhuvanas - with Dharmashastras, with the Paramashiva Jnana.

• So Paramashiva Jnana itself was mapped to the country law, as country law. The Cosmic law mapped as the country law is Dharmashastras. Meenakshi ruled bhuvanathraya with Dharmashastras as the Jurisprudence. That is the way she gave Shiva jnana to everyone.

• There is one more reference:

• Agastya uvacha: Manunaa prokta dharmena baalayasva vasundharaam sapatham kuru raagneetvam dharmashaastraanu saarathaha

• Translation: Agastya said, rule the earth by Dharma proclaimed by Manuvathi Dharmashastras. Take your oath O Queen in accordance with the Dharmashastra!

• That is the way Agastya coronated Meenakshi and Meenakshi ruled!

• Listen to the next Truth.

• There is a beautiful story in Thiruvilaiyadar Puranam. That chapter is called ‘Vidai Ilachinai Itta Padalam’. Paramashiva has done 64 Leelas. In that, 34th chapter: There was a Pandya King Kulabhushana Pandyan who was ruling Madurai on behalf of Meenakshi and Sundareshwara.

• Understand, in Madurai, Pandya kingdom, the tradition is: the king is only the representative, he is only the administrative representative of Chokkanathar (Sundareshwara) and Meenakshi. They are the real rulers. So the Kulabhushana Pandyan was ruling.

• Even though he was a great devotee, due to his deep enmity with the Chola kingdom, his enmity towards the Chola kingdom has gone one degree higher than his devotion towards Paramashiva - Meenakshi and Chokkanatha.

• At that time, the Chola kingdom was ruled by a Chola called Kaaduvettiya Cholan. That Kaaduvettiya Cholan heard so much about Meenakshi and Sundareshwara's glory by a Rishi and he became so deeply devoted and connected to Meenakshi Sundareshwara, his feeling connection with Meenakshi Sundareshwara became so strong, so beautiful, his Paramashiva bhakti, Meenakshi Sundareshwara bhakti was so strong, he was praying to Meenakshi Sundareshwara to somehow give darshan of their deity-form, the linga form. He was begging.

• But this Kulabhushana Pandyan, as his enmity towards the Kaaduvettiya Cholan was little, one unit higher... it has gone little higher than his devotion to Paramashiva. So now what to do?

• Paramashiva decides: I will resolve this directly. So he did not go to the dream of Pandya and tell: ‘Aye! Allow the Chola to come and have darshan.’ No...because the Pandya... his enmity has gone one inch higher than his devotion to Paramashiva. So Paramashiva directly goes to Chola's dream and says, ‘Don't worry. Come to Pandya kingdom. I will show you the route how you can come safely and I will show you the route how you can come inside Madurai to my temple and I will open the doors for you. Come and have darshan and go.’

• Same way, as guided by Meenakshi Sundareshwara, the Chola king - Kaaduvettiya Cholan... comes and Sundareshwara. as he told, opens the doors. The Chola comes and melts in Oneness having darshan of Sundareshwara and Meenakshi. He experiences Paramadvaita. Then Chokkanathar says… Sundareshwara says, ‘Now it is time. ‘You can go back to Chola kingdom.’ He makes sure the Chola king is guided safely back to Chola kingdom.

• Then when Chokkanathar, Sundareshwara... when he locks the door and leaves it as it was, he removes the country emblem - the Pandya country national emblem - fish emblem - from the temple entrance and puts his emblem - Rishabha emblem. Listen!

• Vidai Ilachinai Itta Padalam...

• He puts Rishabha emblem, his emblem! Sundareshwara removes the nation's emblem, the country's emblem and puts Cosmic emblem, his emblem on the temple entrance, on the temple flag, on the temple gate and on the temple tower... everywhere he puts his emblem removing the nation's emblem.

• Next day morning, Kulabhushana Pandiyan comes and he was shocked! What happened! How can the emblem change?

• Listen! Listen to this carefully: If Paramashiva wanted the Kaaduvettiya Cholan to come and have darshan, he could have called him, gave darshan and sent him back. He could have just left it with that. But he sends a statement: The country law ends in his temple entrance. In his temple, only the Cosmic law prevails; His law prevails. He declares his Conscious sovereignty. He reminds Kulabhushana Pandiyan: The country laws are good to run the country but it cannot overpower Cosmic laws.

• The Kulabhushana Pandiyan should have had the knowledge, clarity, to allow Kaaduvettiya Cholan to come and have darshan of Meenakshi Sundareshwara keeping his personal vengeance and enmity away. See, Kulabhushana Pandiyan should not allow the Kaaduvettiya Cholan to come and occupy the Pandya kingdom. He should not allow Kaaduvettiya Cholan to bring his army and have a war. That should not be allowed. That is country law. But Kulabhushana Pandiyan cannot deny the darshan of Meenakshi Sundareshwara for Kaaduvettiya Cholan.

• Paramashiva declares his Conscious Sovereignty by putting his emblem on the temple tower of Madurai. He teaches a lesson. He sends a message to Kulabhushana Pandiyan. He teaches a lesson: ‘Aye! Country law cannot interfere with the Cosmic law.’ Country law should be used only to align the mass to Cosmic law. It should not move anyone away from the Cosmic law.

• ‘When Kaaduvettiya Cholan has a deep devotion and wants to have the darshan, he should be allowed to have darshan of Meenakshi Sundareshwara’, is the Cosmic law. But the country law and the individual enmity of the king... Kulabhushana Pandiyan, tried to use the country law against the Cosmic law and stopped Kaaduvettiya Cholan having darshan of Meenakshi and Sundareshwara. So Paramashiva declares his Conscious Sovereignty and sends a message to Kulabhushana Pandiyan: Your country law cannot interfere in My Cosmic law.

• Understand! Rigveda says beautifully:

• Atmaahaarshamantreti trivasthishta avisaasalihi vishasthva sarva vaa vrishandhu maadhvat raashtra mati prasat

• The translation is: I enthrone you. Be firm, unshaken, in your Dharma. May all people accept you as Protector. May your rule remain strong not because of personal power, personal interest but because you uphold the Cosmic dharma assigned by the divine.

• So understand: Now again Paramashiva manifested this Kailasa asserting his Superconscious Sovereignty, his Conscious Sovereignty and making his Cosmic law-based dharma itself as the country law for Kailasa. And by manifesting this Kailasa, he is opening the door for all human beings to come and be in Kailasa, live in this Dharmashastra as the Jurisprudence nation, live this ecosystem where Dharmashastras are the Jurisprudence and this naturally moves you towards Paramadvaita and Cosmic law, Paramadvaita Anubhuti, Moksha.

• This is Jeevan Mukti Kshetra (Jeevan Mukti – Living Enlightenment; Kshetra – sacred land). Kailasa is Jeevan Mukti Desa (Jeevan Mukti –Living Enlightenment; Desa - country) manifested by Paramashiva with Dharmashastras as the Jurisprudence, so you are all moved, all of us are always moved towards Paramadvaita Anubhuti, Paramadvaita Satya. Paramadvaita Anubhuti, Moksha, Jeevan Mukti.

• Listen to the next Satya, next truth: Panchangam is fundamentally observer-centric; it is based on the relative existence. It calculates thithis, nakshatras, yogas, karanas as they appear from earth using the apparent positions and faces of the moon and other celestial bodies, as seen by an observer on earth. This means it reflects the sky as we perceive it. It is not necessarily the actual, absolute positions of the celestial bodies in space.

• But Jyotisha which is Veda Anga. in its classical and mathematical form, aims to be object-centric and is based on the existential reality. It seeks to determine the true astronomical positions and motions of planets and stars as they actually exist, regardless of how they appear from a specific location on earth and their impact, effects on earth and human beings.

• Country law represents the practical structured rules needed for daily life within a society. These are essential for order and function and cannot be ignored or abandoned even if they are limited or imperfect. But it should be always aligning all the human beings to the Cosmic law. So Cosmic law refers to universal and inherent principles that exist beyond human-made systems, sometimes called Dharma - Natural law, Universal law which guide Ultimate Truth and Paramasatya and Ultimate Dharma, Paramadharma.

• Just as Panchangam provides practical, relative timekeeping for rituals, just like following country law, Jyotisha seeks the true existential positions of celestial bodies like Cosmic law. Both are needed; the first for the daily functioning, the second for alignment with the higher Truth.

• We should make sure the daily functioning always aligns to the higher Truth. A society that enforces only country law without striving to align it with the Cosmic law risks becomes rigid or oppressive.

• True justice and Dharma arise when practical laws are harmonized with Universal Principles. Sanatana Hindu Dharma and Veda Agamas aim and directly align daily living, country law, with the Cosmic Truth, Cosmic law, which is the Principle manifested in Kailasa.

• So with this, I will answer your questions.
