SBARIMALA- SABARI PEEDTH - A judicial question?

 

 

SABARI PEEDTHAM 


An undesirable tendency has cropped  up after the Judicial proceedings were made available in the open spaces.  The Supreme Court of India should have made some directions on the sharing of excerpts from the proceedings for any purpose.  What remain left in the open cannot be barred or expunged, and the right of the people to interpret the matters cannot be curbed. The Judiciary also is bound to exercise restraint in making passing remarks and obiter dictum.  Perceptions of  the intelligent layman outweighs the syllogism of Intellectual.

Probably, the large gathering of Senior most advocates of the Country, including those who represent the Government of India could not make an observation of the court that no religion is supreme, all religions are equal.  Incidentally,  a quote from the Vedas was raised to point out that all religions are equal and no religion is superior.

The quote in the context was” Ekam Sad Vipra Bahudavadanti”.

Many commentators and authors have made this quote to show that India believes in Unity, Oneness and even in context of Vedantic Philosophy of Advaita – to illustrate the non-duality.  How, “Bahudavadanti” has been taken out with a such a bad  fragmented break contrary to  the conceptual framework and  its contextual implication to the theme of the  segment and its purposes  will remain as a question.  Today, we have great difficulties as the Vedic system which originally consisted of  intertwined arrays “ Dhwani” developed and enunciated  by Brahma Rishis. The complex multidimensional  “Sruti” scheme has inbound scales and time factor,  has its own limitations  to be laid down on a flat surface with interlinked Aksharam. Samskrutam is the closest format to transliterate the Vedic Dhwanis, yet, the nuances and renditions patterns that gave multiple meanings encoded in the Dhawani do not get into the format of letters. The Dhwani system was carried down through several generations, till it was  crafted into the grooves of metal sheets and palm leaves, and so the Scheme of Vyasa Schools is totally a different structure from the original system.  Dhwani became scattered across the length and breadth in the written form in Samskrutam. The compilation, therefore, were made by Brahma Rishis gave the schemes for deriving and decoding the Dhwanis in their Gita and Vedanga creations. Each Rishi central to a Mandala has their own schemes which  is a complex  Nada -Sankhya – Samaya Samyogam. It a cumulative  function of the frequency modulation with a definitive numerical value integrated with a time scale in the form of Triplet Codes. The expression structurally renders a palindromic symmetry with the Genetic endowment of the Human beings.

What is recited and used in the Rituals and scholastic interpretations , commentaries and monastic traditions do not fall in line with the Orginal  Vedic scheme. scheme  to derive the format of Sruti.  So, whatever is found in the present-day text editions and in all the Brahminical systems or padhathis cannot be construed as the Original Vedic Dhwanis.

The Quote which  the Judge had taken to give emphasis on equality of religions  belongs to the Rishi Deergha Tamas of the Brahmarishi Angiras lineage. The  legends on his birth itself says that he had mastered Veda and Vedangas, while he was in the womb of his mother Mamata.  His father U- Tad’thya  was the son of Brahma Rishi Angiras, one the most prominent Rishis central to the Original Veda Dhwani. He has given his schemes of interpreting Dhwanis in the Vedanga of  Mandukya Upanishad and is also the progenitor of a new stream of Atharva . The constructions of Deerghatamas , now found in R’Gk Veda can only be seen as a later entrant, The quote

Eakam Sad’ Vipra Vibuddha Vadanti” is intersection from the A’sya Vaamasya segment.

The last word ;Vadanti” is fragmented  and taken out from “Vadantyagnim”

It does not fall in line with the Vedic schemes to make such bad fragmentation  for a contrast or annotation for another purpose., where as the part quoted by the court  is from:-

Indram Mitram, varunamagnimaahurdtho divyah sa suparnNo Garutman .

Ekam Sad Vipra Bahuda Vadantyagnim Yamam Ma’tarishvanamahu aha.

Vadantyagnim  when fragmented totally derails the theme and the central concept.

Vedic system has its own structuring and  schematic patterns. Though it appears to be composed in Samskrutam, it  in centred on the original “Dhavani” fotmat of the Sruti system.   So, the interpretations and decoding of the Vedic Dhawamis and its schemes have to be based on the Rishi , the Sage central to the Segment and those in the sub segments.  Here,  A’sya Vaamasya section by Muni  Deergha Tamas is an in-depth interpretation of the time scale and the Astrophysical  derivation with respect to  that period when it was calculated. He  theorised the intrinsic force within and exerted by the Sun that accounts for the stability of the solar system.

The calculation of the wheel system of time with 360 divisions, which is called today as degrees is first introduced here in this segment. Therefore, its inclusion in the Rig Veda may stand justified in some perceptions.

The basic tenets employed in the Vedic system of expression, is the concealed one, apart from what is considered to be  central to the Practices and systems and are distinct from the expression meant for the linguists, grammarians and commentators.

The question here is  on the  the  basis of understanding on the Vedic System should be taken into consideration by the Court? The answer is within the motto of the Supreme Court of India itself.

The motto  of the Supreme Court of India –“यतो धर्मस्ततो जयः(“Yato Dharma Stato Jayah) is mentioned in more than ten Parvas of Mahabharata.  
 Does the Dharma occupy the same space and meaning everywhere, every time?

“Dharma” as a concept or practice  did not originate in the Transitory Period of Dwapar YuGa of Mahabharata.  To understand the underlying sense, the lineages of  every Maha Rishi has given their schemes in their Gita and Upanishads.  Krishna Dwaipayana Veda Vyasa, the composer of Mahabharata in his Sri Mad’ Bhagavat Gita has given his scheme for understanding his versions on the adaptations from Vedic Systems.  Yet, in  the written form , the transition from the  Dhvani system of Sruti to the format of anatomically flat written system of Smriti  , came up with a Universal declaration, that is reflected in the Mandukya Upanishad  as :-

“Iti etad akṣaram idam sarvam;

tasya upavyākhyānam:

 Būtam bhavad bhaviṣyat

Iti sarvam aumkāra eva."

Ea’Tad’ here has to be taken with the reference to the timing ,when read with Idam  makes it a declaration that from Here on in entirety ”  Aksharam is Sarvam. It is given as a supplementary illustration in conformity with Om Kara along the entire time scale. Methodology and systematics to  derive  Aksharam from the Dhwani along the three dimensions along its time scale has to be within the  configuration of OM.  It is the basic reason why, Om forms prefix and suffix in the Brahminical renditions of the Vedic systems

“OM” therefore, is the body and the soul itself that constitutes the Energy systems of all kinds of   Aakhyanam, the absolute transformation of living in a state of Samadhi, that is the basics of Siddhi. The “Aksharam” should not be understood in the same manner as in the Alphabetic system of any language including Samskrutam.  Angiras and  Yajjna Valkya had his own theories and is also the author of Laws from which “Mitakshara” have been derived.  So, when he  states that Aakhyanam  or the interpretation should be taking perspective views of three states and periods of, Precedent (bhootam), contemporary and imminent happening (Bhava) and Prospects (Bhavishya) and has to be the basis. Aksh - the axis of ‘aRa “is the divergent forms should be the structural format of interpretation and understanding, and communication.

Mandukya Upanishad visibly belongs to a separate system of Vedic schemes developed by  Brahmarishi Angiras and “Yajjnavalkya” lineages.  Yajjna Valkya, one of the sons of Brahma Rishi Viswamitra, is found in the Anusaassana Parva (indoctrination segment) of Mahabharata of Krishna Dwaipaayana Vedavyasa and also in Agni Puran as member of the Court of King Janaka.  When Vyasa takes Yajjna Valkya into his constructions, it is a recognition and acceptance of the systematics that establishes the Esoteric Knowledge and Practices of recondite Brahma Jjnaana which forms the basics of the understanding.

The Siddhas and Rishis are positioned above the Brahminical schemes. It  is the very reason why the Divinity instituted by the Epic schemes have placed the Rishis as revered and respected by Gods.  The basic tenets of the  Hindu as a “Religion” follow the course of the  Bhakti, or devotion, pooja or worship together with rites, rituals and observances. The rites including Yajjna are performed according to the  Tantric and Vedic schemes of consecration  of the epic idolatries held within the confinements of  Agama structures.  It do not in any way imply that religious systems, customs, practices and procedures are the only purpose , objective and meaning of the entire Vedic system.  The Siddhi Systems stands out and there is a clear line of separation drawn between the  religious system and the basic schemes of the Vedic system enunciated by the Siddhi system and practice. Siddhi, forms the Esoteric Knowledge of the the mechanisms to decipher inlaid  theories and  their derivations from the Vedic system. 

Therefore “Dharma” in the motto of the Supreme Court of India has to be understood within the norms and tenets of the Vyakhyanam- the interpretations.  When “rut’ is integrated with “Dha” setting the limits and boundaries “Ma”. Dharma is an integrated function of three constituents.  “Dha” is the highest state of intellect with extraordinary levels of cranial and extracranial  perceptions , “Ma is the criticality of the systemic functional values, When these two factors are interlinked with “Rru”  is Dharma.

Dharma is a derived from  the theories of  Rishi  AghamarshanNa (अघमर्षण)  laid with the  Madhuchhanda scheme set by Brahma Rishi Viswamitra. Therefore, it follows the  expression with respect  to the functional value of  “Gha” the numerical  system.

ऋ॒तं च॑ स॒त्यं चा॒भी॑द्धा॒त्तप॒सोऽध्य॑जायत

ततो॒ रात्र्य॑जायत॒ तत॑: समु॒द्रो अ॑र्ण॒वः

Rutam Cha Satyam Chaabheedth; Ghattapaso AdhyaJayat

Tato RatraYajaayat’ Tat’ aha  Samudro Arnav aha

Gha aT’ aPsojayat  , Tat O Raatryjaayat’  = Samudro Arnnav Aha

And that is R’tam Cha Stayam- 

Gha – is a destructive process, meaning as reaction  

Apsa – is liquid form or water , Jayat= Produce, tat aha = consequently

Sama- equal or balanced , Ud’Rao – that which is oozed from the land  = water ,–

Ra’=  Land  Nava = Nine - 

R’tam  is the  Process by which  9  land masses with water level balanced in between them  and that is Sat’ ayam  .

Sat has  Six and  Aya  has 12  integrated to the value of 108.  It exactly gives the ratio between the size of the earth to that the sun that accounts for the 12 phases. Dharma has 108  tenets or regulations in Dharma. And Ru in Dharma has a constant value with relation to the stability of the earth and its cycles, which is the truth – Satya. 

 Whoever took a decision on the motto of the Supreme Court , had  made the selection very carefully and it is a message to those who occupy positions in the establishment.

There has to be a conscience  on the exact context from where the Motto or Dhyeya  of the of the Supreme Court is taken. Yadho Dharmastato Jaya appears more than 10 times in different Parva of Mahabharata. Every Context, the  Dharma has a different implication.

Therefore, the motto itself is a world of caution and restriction om the Judicial system of the country on the extend and nature of analysis, illustration, interpretations, inferences and conclusions to be drawn to adjudicate any matter on the Vedic system.

The Vedic system is not a straight-line language to be illustrated under the normal perspectives.  Vedic System originally  consisted of a single Vedam at the time it was recovered by Hayagriva, the incarnate of Vishnu. Hayagriva Maha Rishi,  learnt the Vedam from the Incarnate form of Hayagriva. Both the sage and the incarnate had the same name. Again, the incarnate form of Vishnu,  Hayagriva, appeared before Sage Agastya in Kanchi, Tamil Nadu and taught him about the concept of Goddess Para Sakti, appeared as Mohini and Parvati. Haya Griva gave the vision of Sasta who is the same Skanda born to Para Sakti in the form of Parvati Both these incidents are important in the arguments on Ayyappa Sannidhanam, the Sa Sabari Peedth.

Agastya from Kanchi moved to the Paschim Ghata or the Western Ghats. His lineage of 18 Sages formed various Siddhi Peedth. Most prominent of them is Gorakhnath. Agasthya received Siddhi and YoGic traits form Dattatreya, Dattatreya embodies the trinity. Sabarimala is the Dattatreya Siddhi Peedth for those who follow the Siddhi Traditions.  Paschima Adri and its valleys have 18 Siddhi Peedths.

Saastha is consecrated in Sabari Peedth as a confluence of Parashakti born from Mohini, and Sasta born to Siva and Parvati, Ayyappa in Sabarimala is linked to the Vishnu incarnate of Mohini, in turn derived from the Parashakti in Dhyana and so Ayyappa attained Maha Samadhi   in Saasta in the meditative state.

Maha Samdhi can be correlated to Coalescence.  The posture of Ayyappa in Yogaroodha Siddhasanam in Abhaya mudra and Jjnaana Mudra radiates the perpetuality of his Samadhi State in Cosmic Unison, that is Naishtika Brahmachari. There the band across his feet defines the field dynamics, which cannot be obliterated by any male or female violating the restrictions of the Siddhi Peedth and the conditions stipulated has to be maintained.

Such an observance became the  cutsomary practice, law and code of conduct pf  the devotees, Sanghams (groups) of Alangadand and Ambalapuzha, Royal Family of Pandalam, Tantris and Priests.  It would be some =where near to ecclesiocracy  followed by the churches. 

Mandatory observances to set foot to Sabari Peedth is to maintain and safeguard the  ambient energy radiance and its field from getting obliterated and intercepted, to be kept alive for the Siddhas , of subsequent periods.

Now the question on the prohibition on the fertile age group of Women and stringent observances including abstinence and purity for men has a different implication. The purpose and objectivity of such observances is to facilitate the process of “Involution”.  It is a system independent of the Vedic and Tantric schemes that pertains alone to Siddha YoGis. They  enter into successive states of metamorphosis which involves downward and upward cycles. From here, the explanations would sound unnatural for those who anchor on to the logical reasoning with aesthetic and materialistic considerations.  And it is where matters are dragged into constitutional morality, gender discrimination and women rights.  Therefore, a wider understanding becomes mandatory.

With certain  spiritual phenomenon and effects commonalities cannot be drawn. The Hinduism is not a  narrow construction of  religion  that follows devotion and obeisance to the God alone.  Hinduism is an expression crystallised out of a multiple of equations of varying nature on the understanding on the cosmos, the universe,  the physical and metaphysical systems in the first order. This period ranging from  Pra-Kruta has been codified into a  Time-Based Sequential Information called the Vedam, devised in the Gayatri System. The structuring of the Vedas as Sruti in the Vang  format constitutes the elementary genetic endowment of the Knowledge system  encoded as complex plosive units of  Dhvani.  Six basic schools that seclude and secure (Raksha) the knowledge system have their own  methodologies laid in the respective scales laid down in Six Vedangas. These follow the order of securing  the respective positions of  three dimensions (1) Sound – Sabda Raksha , (2) Meaning – Artha Raksha and  (3) Practises and procedures – Anuhstaana .  Vedangas of Tutoring Training and   methodological Practises constitutes the Siksha that consists of applied methodologies of  Volumetrics and  derivations form the Vedanga of Nirukti and Vyakarana. Extrapolation of Dhwanis of the Vedic system into  diverse purposes of individual, family , society and the state, It  incorporates the  geophysical process and time-based functions form the Vedangas of  Jyotisha and Kalpa  of the Anuhstaana Schools of Jjnaana.  In the later periods, these truncated along different directions and fell into the hands of linguistic scholasticism, ritualistic Brahminism  and their commentators. A host of monastic and quasi monastic traditions  occupied the central scene and they gave their own interpretations and explanations, some of these exerted authority and control over the ruling class and their interpretations and ideals superseded all the original lineages.

Yet , the independent  stream of Siddha System continued throughout the country. Siddhas do not indulge in any arguments or debates or they do not assert or display the qualities and powers they have acquired.   The centres of Siddhi Peedth are the schools of  “Intrinsic Knowledge System of the Gurus”. The communication devoid of language generates an Implicit and tacit knowledge, that 

If not the  general public, the judiciary of the country has to be clear on the perceptions. Vedas  were schematised at a time when the concept of God and Religion did not exist.  Vedas constitute the basic intellectual faculties of the Indian subcontinent now, reduced to what remains as India. Even after the independence, the government of India  did not find it necessary to take the Vedic system out of the community proprietary, originally devised for its transfer to successive generations. 

In the context of Sabari Peedth, the question of religion do not arise. No siddhi Peedth or the practitioners of Siddhi have religion.

The Chanting of the  Ayyappas (males) and Malikappuram ( females) who step in to the Sannidhanam, the Peedth chants “ Saranam Ayyappa” Swamiye Saranam Ayyapa” . Those who wear the beaded chain to  undertake the vows and practices, from that moment are addressed either as  Swami or Ayyappa. They assume the name and order of Ayyapa who   is present in Coalesced  or merged state with the deity of Dharma Sasta. Ayyappa is consecrated  in the Peedth above 18 steps.

Interpretations on the 18 steps and the deity  became vested within the ritualistic rite and control of the Brahminical family of Central Travancore.

 The question of rites, rituals and procedures in Sabari Peedth is a secondary. The first and foremost aspect at this point of time is on the nature, character and positioning of Sabari Peedth in the Indigenous Indian Systems and Practices.

Siddhi and YoGa are two integrated systems of cosmic enlightenment that was developed in the Indian Subcontinent. This system created  such faculties to understand the principles of the cosmos and the  knowledge on Life and living systems. After a few thousand of generations of understanding, the compilation was made on the  studies on Cosmos by Skanda Maharishi which is known as “Jyotishmati”. Jyotishmati gave rise to Hora Sastras or the Science of Time, from where further various branches evolved. The knowledge derived from what is centric to oneself expressed along a definitive time scale called  the Vedam was drawn.  This development occurred  during quite a few millennia before the languages were crystallised. The format of the Vedic system is Dhwani –  packets of complex plosive sounds expressed in a definitive format scheme. The format is Sruti and the schemes are Vang.

The exponents of these traditions attained various levels of organisation structure form the  Siddha traditions, which reinforces the relevance and reverence of Sabari Peedth.

Sabari Peedtham in the Sabari Hills or the Sabarimala has a temple venerated and consecrated  at the Siddha Peedham of Dattatreya , where Ayyappa did penance to Maha Samadhi reaching Kaivalya Padam (कैवल्य पदम्). It is the Moortitva Bhava ( deity) as Kaivalya Moorthy,  in the radiant Siddha state,  termed as “ Easwara”, Naishtika Brahmachari is the cosmic observance of Siddhas such a state , whether a temple and deity exist or not, Siddhi Peedtham have its own tenets , doctrines and the Tantric Practises and specific to each Siddhi Peedhta.

The YoGa here do not correspond to any other YoGic streams of Mantra, Laya, Hatha,  and Raja Yoga.  Though general treatises may be found in the schemes like Gorakhsha Shataka, Viveka Marthanda, Siva YoGa Pradeepika, Amaraugha Parbhodha,  Dattatreya YoGa Sastra, with deviations from the YoGanusaassanam of  Padthanjali, YoGa Vasishtam or in works like YoGa Chinthamani and Viveka Martanda.

Every Siddhi Peedtha has its own derivations, doctrines and  set of procedures and laws, which eventually after a few centuries are carried on as traditions. Sabari Peedth also has own doctrine of  its  Siddha-YoGic form.

Therefore, it cannot be read or understood in conjuncture or  in relation with  the structures of YoGa found in  above  doctrines and treatises  or various Gita like Bhagavat Gita, Siva Gita, Brahma Gita, Vishnu Gita and Ishvara Gita, and others.  Siddhas do not  fall in the order of Samadhi in the manner commentators narrate on  the verbatim of Padthanjali schemes  of Prajjna.

Esoteric faculties, the Siddhis have no written texts and direct Gurus. The centres  of this knowledge of “Tacit” nature have to be protected from the invasion of the modernity , civil rights, extremist theism and political activism. We have lost many such centres in the course of invasions and conquests. 

Sabarimala is a rare opportunity before the judiciary of India to accept and acknowledge unseen frontiers of Indian Systems and to protect them, these centres are insulated by the Brahminical and  other traditional rites, rituals and practices. It needs voluminous knowledge and understanding on the entire gamut of the Indian systems to draw any inference on any practice.  A clear line has to be drawn between the Societal practices emerged from contemporary political realities and the Indian systems of Knowledge and its infinite values inherited and held in succession through innate and inherent traits of the Siddhas. One of such systems of such Indian Knowledge system and Siddhi is ‘NaaDi”, which  can be compared or equated somewhat nearer to the term of Plato “Anamenesis” .In the Indian system of Atri and Agastya Practices of  Ayurveda, the basic quality pf qualification to be a healer is the Power of “Darsanam”. It is the power to see the visual spectrum of biogenic energy Fields. The diagnosis is done without any gadgets or invasive methods. Today, Ayurvedic Post Graduates and specialists ask for everything from blood Profile to X-ray and Scan reports.

In the Siddhi Stream, the Vedic system and its complex structure is a separate  component of the knowledge, which are totally different from the practices and interpretations of the Hotris of R’Gk Veda, Udgatris of Sama Veda and Adhvaryus of Atharva streams, Tantrics and their ramifications and substantiation by linguists and monastic streams. 

The core and threadbare of the foundations and principle of structuring and ordering of knowledge in the Indian systems should remain secured and  should not be exposed political ideologies. Judiciary is to secure the Siddhi Peedtham  from  getting ravaged and runover by the claimants of social justice and constitutionality.  

When  a question is raised before the Judiciary  on the procedures adopted in a temple or place of worship,  the treatment has to be on the very  objectivity of construction of the functional imperatives for the existence and continuity of the same practice.  It cannot be judged on the basis of the perceptions with which a litigant raises as a question before the court, but it has to be adjudicated on the basis of the vast expanse and the perceptions drawn by the court based on its own motto.
