Facts of Life

Dr N C Ramanujachary

Well know facts of life need to be stated again and again, on and on, for they are easily forgotten as they lack immediacy. One such is ‘we reap as we sow’

Life is full of choices and chances; no doubt, it is only one’s effort and merit that gives one anything. One can have the results of one’s own deeds, the three-fold: word, feeling and action. This is common knowledge but is eclipsed when…

Divine Knowledge

Madame Blavatsky once remarked that ‘to gain the divine knowledge by a system of coaching and cramming is the ideal of the average beginner in occult study’, but the originators of the Theosophical Society refused ‘to encourage such false hopes’. She further asserts, one-hundredth (of the members of the TS) only has the correct idea of adeptship and the path thereunto. ‘Of all thinkable undertakings that of trying for adeptship is the most…

Visible and Invisible

We have senses and contact the world around through them.  Sense organs have limitations so far as their operation is concerned. Yet we experience the existence beyond the area of such operation for the simple reason that we can physically move ourselves and go beyond the space around to confirm its availability. Thus sensory perception is only an initial stage of our experience and not the final stage of our…

Philosophy is the name given to a theme explaining the source, process and product of manifestation with all its constituents. The underlying Unity is a continuous stream (Antar-Sravanti) and beginning with the under worlds it rises into the higher regions of Consciousness, the earth we live on being a mid-point.

The theme is both Theoretic and Practical, hypotheses that can become functional.

Proofs are available, they are too subjective and experiential; and can be…

Is there a way of life that we can adopt?

Regulating one’s own life is what we do when we understand things in a right perspective.  Knowledge and updating one’s understanding each day, changing one’s attitudes and opinions, based on experience obtained, is also known to us. Sometimes we may think that there is nothing in our nature that needs a change. Scriptural knowledge comes to our aid in our understanding.  It…

Polity and Globalization

A polity is a human society, politically organized as a State. Globalization is a term popular more in the context of Economic and Commerce areas. Recent innovations and intrusions into human consciousness can no longer limit the terms to their literal meanings.

The Earth Globe is one in round. We see many parts of land and sea thereon. That this earth globe is a part of a huge solar system and it has interconnections with other globes in the…

Societal Stature

 The pivotal points of the stature of a human society are a) gain b) achievement and c) success. Individuals have created a society by grouping themselves together for purposes of gain, but this did not bring any gain whatsoever in terms of real unity. We create a society to which we ultimately become slaves. A clear understanding of the values liberates us from the social, religious machine and its conventional working systems.  We, as Individuals, are born…

What is Blissful state and is it possible to attain such a state?

Being happy is the birth right of every creature. Being Independent, having a free choice and to act in a line appealing to oneself is similarly the birth right. For various reasons, we have imposed certain constraints and restraints to our activity and behavior. These have become necessary that one’s…

Human Life:

by Dr N C Ramanujachary

Human life is an admixture of happiness and sorrow. Every living person wants to be happy. Each person defines happiness in his or her own way and by experimentation; exploration finds a way to happiness. Sorrow is attempted to be totally eradicated but it reoccurs through some other door or window of life. Everything in life is in a passing stage. Even when sorrow is set aside…

A PHILOSOPHER

Dr. N C Ramanujachary

A Philosopher’s endeavor is basically to work for the Perfection of Humanity. He does this by his oration, sets a role-model by his own conduct to the audiences he comes into contact. He is normally a well-informed person on the Laws that govern the Universe, their working systems and how men and women of the world could modulate their own methods of working in relation to…

Wisdom: Its various aspects in Human Living

Wisdom has an inexplicable and a 'difficult to explore' place in human understanding and living. Yet scholars, poets and creative artistes have found their own way of enjoying and the same time expressing it to others, the common folk too, in innumerable methods.

All the fine arts, not to speak of the sacred scriptural texts, are a clear illustration to this humane act. The manifestation of the…

The Hindu Philosophy

T Subba Row (1856-’90)

In studying the ancient texts of Indian philosophy certain important points must not be lost sight of. The words gradually begin to change their meaning. In determining the meaning of particular passages, the age of those passages, the particular significance attached to certain words those times must be kept in mind. For instance, the word yajna: it is easy to translate it as animal…

ORIGINS AND UNFOLDMENT OF HUMANITY

Introduction:

Madame H P Blavatsky, the chief exponent of the theosophical philosophy, has given to the world “The Secret Doctrine,” which is a granary of ideas. The purpose of the book in her terms is:

1. to show that Nature is not “a fortuitous concurrence of atoms”,
2. to assign to man his rightful place in the scheme of the universe.
3. to rescue from degradation the archaic…

The Point that Never Vanishes

An immaculate White disk within a dull background.

The same disk, but with a Central Point.

The point in the hitherto immaculate disk denotes the dawn of Differentiation.

It is the point in the Mundane Egg, the Germ within which will become The Universe,

The All, the Boundless periodical Kosmos. –…

Manas, Buddhi and Monad

Akasa is the fifth universal cosmic Principle. Immutable in its higher Principles, it is the ‘Soul of the World’. Correlative in its grossest aspects and portions, it is creative in its physical nature. The human ‘Manas’ or Mind proceeds from this Principle and strictly corresponds to this.

Cosmic Ideation, when focused in a Principle or a Body, becomes the consciousness of the Individual Ego, and depending upon the capacity of the…
