The Secret Order of Masters
गूढनाथसंघः
Chapter 15
184 ¶Not all the gurus owned monasteries. There were others that banded together to perform a different kind of function. This is told of in our great ākāśic volumes but briefly. But in some small pamphlets there is elucidation of a secret order that not even inner-plane beings were totally aware of except for the fact that each member of this order is known to one another. These small but skillfully written pamphlets carefully stored in the ākāśa explain the activities of many of the gurus who had many vast monasteries during the Tretā Yuga but now serve in a uniquely different way. Each has his own individual powers, siddhis, and uses them wisely for the good of all inhabitants on the planet. §
Ṛishis in All Walks Of Life§
185 ¶Each was very individualistic. A few took unto themselves one or two disciples only. The others walked alone. They did not group together but spread themselves equally apart over the surface of the planet. Each one, however, behaved and lived in a similar way as every other. They were absolutely unroutined and would move freely through the world, yet they followed a very strict sannyāsin code, more strict than any other order. They would be the ones to establish the caste systems, some of the languages or establish some temple Deity. Some of these ṛishis were beggars, others kings on the side of the planet that did not disseminate the darshan through monasteries, and still others in the courts of kings as fools. They could be found in all walks of life, this order of sacred gurus, only known by the members included in it who each one actually was. Through their great telepathic powers they met in council most regularly, in an area of the Second World which they owned. Each one is very extreme in his actions. They were a very lonely type, yet were very busy and full of what they were doing. They were either loved, worshiped or feared. Their purpose on the planet, after the dissolving of their monasteries at the end of the Tretā Yuga, has been to set new patterns and innovate systems. Their help comes from the Third World. They will persist through the Kali Yuga, living, dying, living again, moving from body to body, known by many who sense their existence as “the body happens.” §
Secret Agents Of the Lord Subramaniam§
186 ¶Some would perform magic. Others could materialize a physical body and step out of the Second World, disguised as a monastic in one of the monasteries, harshly chastise one of the members, step behind a pillar and disappear. Another would sit and carve a small statue, then let it stand and make it grow big. Like this, they would do things backwards. There was a psychic game that involved seeing which pegs inserted in a box with holes at the top were longer than others. Instead of playing the game as it was supposed to be done, by breaking off the longer sticks, one of these ṛishis would break off all the short ones. Another would teach a lesson, would patiently loom an intricate pattern in a carpet and then as patiently extract each thread until nothing appeared but a pile of used yarn. They will be the ones, some of them, in the Kali Yuga to establish a system of reincarnation which will be orderly and complete. Each group will work in harmony with all the others according to their mentality. Each one worked directly with Lord Subramaniam in setting patterns anew. They are His agents in a human birth. This was an order of the kuṇḍalinī, and their secrecy holds the power of it.§
Adjustments To Sustain Culture§
187 ¶They never met on the physical plane, for the kuṇḍalinī of each of them is so strong that the force would become so great, should they meet in the First World, it would prematurely excite kuṇḍalinī power of all in the vicinity. If, to fulfill a certain mission given to them by the Lord, one of these ṛishis needed the full force of the power of the entire group, it would come to him as an avalanche, not as the gentle, flowing, sustaining darshan, but as the piercing fire of darshan; and in this way this mystical Śaivite band of ṛishis plunder through the hundreds of thousands of years, from one yuga to the next, making the necessary changes and innovations masterfully and on time to perpetuate the culture, the life on this planet, to sustain the mission of all beings.§
These were the leaders who brought to this planet these same beings in their etheric bodies eons of time ago. They received their training and did their sādhana outside this galaxy to prepare for this tedious mission. These were the ones that knew the nature and quality of each of the four yugas and what was involved within them. §
Mankind’s Ancient Guides §
188 ¶These were the leaders who brought to this planet these same beings in their etheric bodies eons of time ago. They received their training and did their sādhana outside this galaxy to prepare for this tedious mission. These were the ones that knew the nature and quality of each of the four yugas and what was involved within them. They were the first ones to realize that things were changing towards the decline of the Tretā Yuga and problems were coming. This became cherished as secret knowledge, as in the first three yugas the souls inhabiting the Earth are basically to be content, and they could never conceive of life and existence being any other way. These ṛishis are to lead all deserving beings from this planet in the Sat Śiva Yuga, thus completing their mission.§
Distributing Themselves Globally§
189 ¶Some of them freeze their bodies in deep mountain caves in glacierous areas of the planet and act as a pulsating powerhouse of constant, radiant darshan to fortify their individual darshan in another body that they are inhabiting. Early in this yuga they lived high in all the mountainous areas on this planet so that, when the condensation of our atmosphere formed great bodies of water that we could not traverse, they would be well situated to work in and among the inhabitants. In this way they equally divided themselves around the planet. On the other side of the planet, some became kings, some lawmakers and others founders of countries. On this side of the planet, those of them among us see to it in unseen ways that the monasteries persist in the same way they did during the Tretā Yuga.§
Innovators, Instigators of Evolution §
190 ¶They assist with the evolutionary pattern of the inhabitants on this planet as parents assist and nurture their children to maturity. They carve the future as casually as one would cut a piece of fruit. Some are quiet on the inside of them, and could hardly be felt, this other pamphlet explains, and others so fiery and full of noise that it is difficult to be in their presence. This great power enables them to throw themselves totally, without reservation, into the fulfillment of their mission. That is why they never failed. They thought nothing of leaving their physical vehicle to decay when they were through with their particular assignment and getting in another somewhere else on the planet to begin the next. When changing times persist, these ṛishis give explanation to our Śaivite priesthood in all the various monasteries. They do this in various unseen, overt, subtle and sometimes upsetting ways. We take heed and begin to change our patterns through their instigation. The inhabitants surrounding our monasteries begin changing their patterns.§
Many of the Śaivite monastics have done so well in their sādhana and austerities that the kuṇḍalinī force is dissolving and causing to disappear the physical bodies, and they are gently leaving the planet, having fulfilled their mission. §
Effects of The Kuṇḍalinī Force§
191 ¶This then explains the function of the ṛishi gurus of our time. They are now performing a great service in our monasteries, for many of the Śaivite monastics have done so well in their sādhana and austerities that the kuṇḍalinī force is dissolving and causing to disappear the physical bodies, and they are gently leaving the planet, having fulfilled their mission. Due to this same kuṇḍalinī force, the instinctive animal impulses are carving deep pits into the minds of the population, and whereas seasonal mating generally occurred, now it is almost daily for some. Our ṛishi gurus of this secret order appear to be realizing that few new monastics are qualifying themselves strongly enough to enter our monasteries and that the population of our Śaivite priesthood is beginning to dwindle. Some of these ṛishis are even now supervising the closing of large monasteries and guiding the Śaivite monastics into new patterns.§
The Closing Of Obsolete Monasteries§
192 ¶When the population of a Śaivite monastery diminishes to the point where the monastics are unable to maintain the vibration of the constant flow of darshan along with their chores, a ṛishi comes to guide them into dismantling the monastery. The order, of course, comes from the guru himself. The ṛishi usually appears among the monastics themselves and helps implement this order. He stays with the project until the lake is created, forests are planted around it and all of the monastics involved in the project are divided and moved to neighboring monasteries to increase their population.§
Future Orders, Temples and Monasteries§
193 ¶Our śāstric manuscripts tell us this will continue until there are only a few monasteries left, and then the ṛishis will have those Śaivite monastics that are left mate and reproduce themselves, causing a new priesthood that will perpetuate the temples that they will found during the Kali Yuga. It is this priesthood that will carry on the Śaivite tradition through the process of reincarnation into itself through the process of mating and raising families and serving the Deity in the temple as an occupation. It will not be until the end of the Kali Yuga that a new Śaivite order, similar to the Lemurian order of the Tretā Yuga, will appear to fulfill the purpose of holding the vibration and darshan of Lord Śiva strong and steady, during which time a new culture, a revival of the original culture, will arise among the population that surrounds those monasteries. It will be the time that the last few monasteries became temples under this new priesthood and the first being destroys the body of another being that the Kali Yuga will have begun.§
The Ṛishi Mission Is Immutable§
194 ¶And in conclusion, the mission for the order of ṛishis was set for these four yugas. The pattern has never changed and never will. No one has ever joined it since its original conception, nor will anyone of them depart from the others, it is stated at the end of this little pamphlet.§
