On a voyage within.
--
When I had started this blog, the main reason for writing was to keep a record of my own 'study';
or, rather a 'स्वाध्याय' in the Vedanta-parlance.
In the last three years I did a 'study' / 'पाठ' of the वाल्मीकि-रामायण / Valmiki-Ramayana, which deals with many and various aspects of 'Creation', History, Archaeology, Astronomy, Astrology, Science, Environment, Ayurveda and of course the Spiritual and Religious aspects of life.
The six schools of approaching the core Reality / ब्रह्मविद्या (-call it Brahman, Self, Truth, God, The Existential) are the way what they call the paramArtha / परमार्थ or parAvidyA / पराविद्या.
मुण्डकोपनिषद् 1 / 1 / 3, 4 and 5 describes this in the following words :
"शौनको ह वै महाशालोऽङ्गिरसं विधिवदुपसन्नः पप्रच्छ।
कस्मिन्नु भगवो विज्ञाते सर्वमिदं विज्ञातं भवति ।।"
In the answer to the question asked by शौनक / shounaka,
अङ्गिरा / angira replied :
"तस्मै स होवाच। द्वे विद्ये वेदितव्ये इति ह स्म यद्ब्रह्मविदो वदन्ति परा चैवापरा च ।।
तत्रापरा ऋग्वेदो यजुर्वेदः सामवेदोऽथर्ववेदः शिक्षा कल्पो व्याकरणं निरुक्तं छन्दो ज्योतिषमिति ।
अथ परा यया तदक्षरमधिगम्यते ।।"
To be frank, I would like to say that though I had gone through this text a few times earlier in the last so many years, after having did the study of the वाल्मीकि-रामायण / Valmiki-Ramayana, something or some-one as if whispered in my ears :
शौनक / shounaka is John,
महाशाल / mahAshAla is Michel, Macaulay,
अङ्गिरा / angira is Angel,
(आर्ष / ArSh is Arch)
Likewise;
गर्ग / गार्ग्य is George,
अगस्त्य is Augustus ...
पुलस्त्य / पुलिश is Paul,
आर्ष अङ्गिरा / Arch-Angel
जाबालि-ऋषि / Gabriel
Looked as if I was being taught and indoctrinated into yet another meaning of the Veda.
"वेद /Veda" as described in मुण्डकोपनिषद् 1 / 1 / 3, 4 and 5 as above, however say :
All knowledge that is perishable is called अपराविद्या / aparAvidyA, while the knowledge that is imperishable is called पराविद्या...।
In the beginning I ignored this inner voice but when it kept pouring upon me many such secrets, I was not a fool to discard the same as a mental fancy.
पातञ्जल योग-सूत्र अध्याय 4 (कैवल्यपाद)
pAtanjal yoga-sutra chapter 4 (kaivalya-pAda)
begins with the aphorism (सूत्र) :
"जन्मौषधिमन्त्रतपः समाधिजाः सिद्धयः ।।1 "
The various spiritual powers (सिद्धयः) come to man by birth, medicine, mantra, penance / austerities that are the result of समाधि (deep contemplation).
So I convinced myself, this is happening because of any of the above-said reasons.
There is however another explanation as well:
देवताऽनुग्रहः प्रारब्धः संकल्पमपि दृष्टव्यः।
But no doubt I had some rational approach towards understanding how the tenets of सनातन-धर्म / sanAtana-Dharma were revealed to me and that helped me decode the significance and the truth behind the origin of the Western Religions.
I had already known quite some 10 years ago why the Exodus of the people of Jehovah happened.
This was what आर्ष-अङ्गिरा जाबालि (Arch-Angel Gabriel) suggested ... !
some 3 months ago I again came across How आर्ष-अङ्गिरा जाबालि (Arch-Angel Gabriel) helped Prophet Moses when He with His tribe was forced to leave the land of प्ररोह / Pharaoh.
They had committed 2 sins.
Namely :
They were told that the Emperor 'ईश्वर इल' / 'Il' was though the God Supreme on the Whole Earth, it is not the Whole truth; and they in their ignorance rejected the Supreme God परमेश्वर That rules over the Whole World and the Whole Existence. They should not shun and denounce 'idolatry'; (the practice of worshiping a 'God' in the form of an idol).
The next was they ate beef. Killed cow.

Yesterday only my inner voice told me :
"Israel" is but 'Il-Ishvara',
So I realized 'Isra' is but cognate of 'Ishvara' and the word 'Israel' is another linguistic transformation / variation of 'Il-Ishvara' (Chapter 'al-isra' in Koran).
In the evening I found out the confirmation while going through, what is there about Exodus in Koran.
I was always very much interested in "Exodus" (Chapter 3:14, psalm) .
This was because I had read about this in my Guru Sri Ramana's Talks.
This was also immensely important for me because
Maurice Frydman (Who wrote 'I AM THAT'; an English Translation of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj)
was a Jew and had talked about this.
--
I tried to write about how the 3 Western Religions (namely : Jew, Christianity / Catholicism and Islam) have roots in Veda, obviously this is unacceptable to many people for their own reasons.
But now I'm fully convinced all my work and research has reached the completion and I think I have nothing more to seek.
--
The above is my interpretation and view.
I don't claim how far my approach is right or wrong.
I don't think this should attract discussion or argument.
