luvgenlight there's a wonderful audio tape Maharishi made in Jan 1971 in which he explains that the 15 fundamental problems of life listed in chapter 2 of the Gita can be generated by combining the 3 gunas with the 5 mahabhutas. He actually begins to list them on the tape: sattvic problem in pritivi, sattvic problem in jala, sattvic problem in tejas, etc. So maybe: a is akasha g is prana
n is tejas i is jala m is pritivi But how to jive with: a = Ishwara/purusha g = Dharma/smriti n = Shiva/tamas i = Brahma/sattwa m = Vishnu/rajas Anyway, thank you so much for all this but especially about the relationship between dharma, smriti and kama. I have a friend in Vancouver who will also enjoy reading this. ________________________________ From: luvgemlight <m8r-mp8...@mailinator.com> > Thank the god of fire that re-enforcements of more revolutionary millenarians > have finally spoke up up on this list.

Water, does water have something elemental to do with Gem Light Therapy? The role of water in chakras and Gem Therapy? Did Maharishi ever talk about this? You seem to be deep with this. I appreciate that. > -Buck > I don't know. But if I were to track down the symbolism, I'd start with close analogs to the water symbol, such as "ocean of bliss". Maharishi definitely has something to say on bliss... http://www.detlef108.de/Maharishi-Sat-Chit-Ananda-mp3.m3u shortcut... http://www.tinyurl.com/mmy-ananda Edgar Cayce spoke of only four elements being required and everything else the body needed was made from these four irregardless of anyone else's advice to the contrary. These four elements are: water, salt, soda, and iodine. Attempting to apply the agnim template could result in... a = water g = salt n = soda i = iodine ...which might seem to work, but leaves out the 'm' phoneme. Let's take a different approach... Ishwara is the personal supreme almighty diety whose impersonal essential nature is purusha, or being. Dharma is an actual diety second only to Ishwara. Dharma's impersonal essential nature could be described as 'kama' = desire, but a more factual description might be 'smriti' = memory, which Nada Ram described recently -- during Maharishi's birthday 2013 celebration -- as having a secondary meaning besides memory: fulfillment of desire. So, Dharma is Smriti; regaining my memory (an Arjuna quote of the last line of the Bhagavad Gita) is also regaining my Dharma (my support of the power of Almighty Nature; or, how else shall I fulfill my desire?). Well, Dharma is positioned, not within the relative, but within the gap between the Almighty and the relative. This is what makes Dharma second only to the Almighty and superior to everything else within the relative, such as all the other dieties, including, but not limited to... Brahma, whose impersonal essential nature is: satwa Vishnu, whose impersonal essential nature is: rajas Shiva, whose impersonal essential nature is: tamas Ganesh, whose impersonal essential nature is: vata Mother Divine, whose impersonal essential nature is: kapha Surya, whose impersonal essential nature is: pitta ....if I've got my six primary dieties of the relative field right (along with their six impersonal essential natures)? So, Dharma is superior to the three gunas and the three doshas which lie between the three gunas along with their respective personal dieties (Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, plus Ganesh, Mother Divine, and Surya) and Smriti is superior to Prakriti (the field of the three gunas). Well, this gap wherein lies Dharma and Smriti tugs in both directions: it tugs on the relative to transcend the relative and go to Being, and it tugs on the Absolute to come out of itself and manifest itself into the relative. A better template to include the gap (better than the Edgar Cayce quote from above) might be... a = Ishwara/purusha g = Dharma/smriti n = Shiva/tamas i = Brahma/sattwa m = Vishnu/rajas
