[Music]
namaskaram sguru our scriptures and even
our Temple sculptures depict many kinds
of beings like ghas and yakas are these
the same beings that are visting manasar
over the only two cultures which have
documented to some extent or the the
Indian culture
has documented it
[Music]
hugely and the Greek culture has done it
to some
extent about the nature when we
say beings from another Realm these only
two cultures which is describing
definite
forms so here we have yakas
gandaras
gas
Karas
apsaras
criticas
and there's so many like this I think we
have well
recognized being
from other Realms at least over 11 12
varieties of
[Music]
them the Greeks also have similar
numbers of uh probably if not similar
maybe a little less but they also have
recognized I think the only place uh I
have never entered this place where
people tell me that the best Li library
of this kind is in Adar in Chennai the
theosophical library is supposed to have
immense collection
of uh ult books which deal with all
these
aspects more than the spiritual process
it's the occult which explores these
aspects because they're always looking
how to use some kind of
entity which has the necessary power
intelligence and access to do things for
them they're always looking how to
enslave something to use it for their
own
benefit so the occult explores these
things much more than the spiritual
process but in the spiritual process I
think Gat himself talks a lot about
these things gatama the
Buddha Buddha himself talks about a lot
of different types of beings that he
faced in his
s which invariably one is bound to face
when they move into certain
aspects particularly when we
[Music]
were in another place lots of things
have happened but
uh but particularly when we were moving
towards the consecration of the aninga
this kind of things like were everyday
happening all
kinds
I'm not good at categorizing and naming
them and saying this is this this is
that but they're distinctly different
that's for sure no question about that
very distinctly different in their
energy in their appearance in their
everything it was all there
but didn't pay
[Music]
attention but elsewhere I have paid
attention to some of these things but it
is wasteful in many ways
[Music]
because none of
them at least whatever I have come
across none of them will be of any
spiritual significance to
me so if I paid little attention to them
in the moment I realized that's not it I
took my attention of those things
because they were never of any spiritual
consequence they are only existential
consequence if you want to explore the
existence
yes but if you want to know this they're
of no use because they're just in a
different form as ignorant as you
are
maybe with different kind of
capabilities which would look incredible
to
you but I'm sure your capabilities look
incredible to
them
otherwise they wouldn't be visiting
isn't
it as they look incredible to you you
must be looking incredible to them
that's why they're visiting these days I
don't have this
[Music]
luxury at that
time there was no wall around the house
and the morning Always by like 5:45 6
when the sun is rising I always came and
sat in the outside corridor
and um Temple was not still not there
and just building the Temple in my
mind every day I sit there
and gazing in the direction where it
should come up I'm just because I don't
have the money I don't have the material
I just don't only what's in my
mind at that time you know like uh the
these creatures just hung around for
quite some time they're like irregular
shapes but all like just like two
dimensional you know like
cardboards walking around moving around
and making noises and just hanging
around right there all the
time sometimes I could not ignore them
because they were so
noisy and uh it so happened sometimes
that uh
you know like
uh other people in the house heard the
voices and noises that I was talking to
somebody and they would come out and see
that I was not talking to
anybody they cannot hear what but they
hear
something I never
spoke but they were making so many
noises you need to understand noise
means the kind of noise that we make
only we can
make when I say the kind of noise well
the birds can make a different kind of
noise but both of us are making the same
noise in terms of frequency reasonably
there that's why we can hear each
other there are other creatures here who
are making other kinds of noises which
you cannot
hear so usually these beings are making
other kinds of
noises you cannot hear but these were
making noises that like our kind of
noises that is somewhere in the
frequency range that we can we
communicate
in either they were specially making
these noises for me or they also belong
to the same category of noise making as
we I didn't explore all this because my
thing was my time was running out my SS
were slipping so I was putting up the
[Music]
bricks I sat there and putting up the
bricks
because my Foundation was slipping away
so
[Music]
rapidly so uh if
there sound making is of the same
frequency as
ours it is also possible
that their thought making could be
reasonably about the same frequency as
ours their body could be reasonably of
the same kind of material maybe not
exactly but same kind otherwise your
eyes wouldn't so easily capture it while
you could see it if you're in a certain
way other things also
but not that simply like like anything
else that we see on a day-to-day
basis
so are these yakas gandharvas ghas I
don't think so because they don't fit
into any of the descriptions that the
Traditions talk
about they describe gandaras as the most
beautiful human
forms yakas is slightly of a different
kind but still reasonably human form
Ghana is totally
distorted distorted means unlike human
forms so most of the the temples that
you see are
ghas why they putting up ghas is because
ghas have played an important role in
the shaping of human
consciousness because Shiva himself is a
Ghana
and because he's a Ghana Ghana's hunger
on him he's his
people but he put on a farm
he put on a form a human form to be
effective with human
beings but his friends remained in the
same old
forms his form was powerful enough
impactful enough they could manage their
work without changing all of them so
Ghana forms are all over the
place being human beings we try to make
it little like our slightly distorted
because we cannot imagine something
which is totally unlike
human see right now in front of the B
temple two Ghana are sitting like this
maybe they didn't look like
that but our human minds are such a
being means he must at least have a
head and then we can't he just looks
like a ball we need two hands to make
him look like a being in our mindset if
somebody has to look look like a being
he must have hands legs everything you
know maybe they didn't have any of those
things maybe what I saw was the real
[Music]
ghas that they didn't have any form like
what we think
of but uh over a period of time
artists how can an artist write this and
say it's a
being if I show you an regular shape of
a paper and say this is a being you
won't buy it isn't it at least I must
cut it reasonably human sense is a being
little like that you are clearly cut
like this we'll make you like this and
this a being
okay at least a head and a body and some
limbs something needed isn't it for
human mind to
perceive so over a period of time artist
might have went on transforming the
forms to a point where we made a ghap
into a
gajapati we made a Ghana into an
elephant which is a which is a serious
big change isn't it not a small change
very big
change ghti
means the chief of the ghas that's what
it
[Music]
means so it is not just he went and
slaughtered somebody's head and put it
he told the Ghana okay I'll take your
head and put on the human body at least
you're halfway
effective now I made myself into
complete human form if I put a human
body for you only the head we not able
to create you will be quite effective
and he's effective isn't it
we accepted him because he has a human
body and a Ghana's head if he sat whole
Ghana we kept him outside we didn't make
him we didn't worship
him we kept the ghas outside the temple
but we took GH into the temple why
because he looks like
us so he might have thought through all
these things and done it maybe at he
needed one assistant who looked looked
reasonably human
isn't it
so maybe they just came just like how we
saw them in the Manas world just like
that in
bunches you know simply a certain kind
they knew in that form they cannot
operate so maybe they use the local
Earth to create
themselves and they couldn't shape
themselves properly it went like this
like that even among human beings things
everybody didn't come with the same
shape isn't
it so like that they went in many shapes
and they thought it's okay as long as
one man is
looking acceptable they thought it's
okay maybe to go to a conference he
needed one more
guy
so he took off his head and put it on a
human
body to fulfill some immediate purpose
I'm saying
