Divine Initiation
“Divine Initiation” is a commentary on the Veda. The Veda, which means “knowledge,” from the root word vid “to see” or “know,” is the oldest known scripture in the world, at least as old as 6000BC. Indologists (those academics that analyse Indian civilisations) hold that the Veda originated in Central Siberia and spread eastwards into Iran (as the Avesta) and then into India. In the last few years, this theory has been contested by some scholars due to recent excavations in Mehrgarh, Pakistan, which prove an early Aryan civilisation in this location, which in ancient times was India.
This work, in the making some twenty years, proves that the world of religions had a common source, namely the Veda. Contrary to the speculations of scholars that the Veda orginated outside India, this work proves that the Veda indeed originated in India and spread outwards, eastwards and westwards. This work proves its premise by revealing the code underlying the religious scriptures of the world. This code has been lost to the world for the last 500 years, since the time of Shankaracharya in India. Due to this, scholars and gurus alike could not solve the mystery of the language of the Veda, nor the language of other religions.
Since we lacked knowledge of the language of all religions, we could not solve the mysteries abounding the religious scriptures. There are repeated occurrences of gods, goddesses, sages and saints living on earth and yet performing supernatural miracles. This work reconciles these narratives in their philosophical context. Likewise, we could not explain the similarity in the depictions of religions icons across cultures, for example, Greek, Mayan and Vedic cultures. An understanding of this work enables one to see the common origin of all religions and yet their divergent viewpoints.
As this work was written by an intiated Shaivite (of the Left-hand path), of which there are few masters left, this work forms the foundation for studies in the Tantras, both Indian and Tibetan, including Kashmiri Shaivism, Dzogchen and Vajrayana. For the first time ever, the Tantric sense of the “Devi Mahatmya” has been revealed in this work in the Mahadevi chapter.
