The Grand Descent Of Consciousness Into Form

The story of The Avatar is the story of the Cosmos itself - the grand Descent of Consciousness into form. Pure Consciousness pervades everything. The great rishis of Hindu tradition reveal that both the manifested and the unmanifested universe are pure Consciousness, and matter is simply projected Consciousness. The subtlest field of Consciousness of the cosmos, which is in a constant state of emergence (spanda) is called Sadaśiva.

The instantaneous manifestation as matter, is Adiśakti - the subtle creative pulse vibration of the Universe as it manifests into the dynamism of living form. Every moment - even as you are reading this - the cosmos is emerging from pure Consciousness into the manifold manifestation of matter, and dissolving back into its Source, in the enchanting, eternal and most intimate dance of Sadaśiva (Pure Consciousness) and Adiśakti (Pure Manifestation). Among the countless manifestations of Consciousness, the most sacred is The Avatar, for He embodies the purest Consciousness, uncorrupted and incorruptible by its descent into the world of form.

The Happening of the

Avatar is a Purāna Not History

Both are different. In Western countries, what they write is history. In Eastern countries, the history that we write is called purana! There is a big difference between the two. History means, that which happens in the two dimensions of length and breadth. For example, ‘He was born at this time this morning. He did this at this particular time this evening. He did this at this time at night.’ It is two-dimensional; meaning, what you see in everyday life.

This is called history.

Purana is the
recording of
multiple
dimensions. Every
happening has an
impact on all
eleven dimensions
of the universe.
Whoever can see
the impact of every
happening on all
eleven dimensions
and records it is
Vyasa, and what he
records is purana.
Vyasa is not the
name of some
individual. It is a
title. The Vyasa
who compiled the
eighteen puranas
and four Vedas
is called
Badanarayana.

Understand:
His name is
Badanarayna;
his title is Vyasa
