Antim Sanskara, Last rite, Bhu Samadhi, Jal Samadhi, Cremate

To know the state of evolution of anyone or any system or way of life, the way in which Antim Sanskara (last rites) is carried out by that system or way of life, needs to be studied … This is because, depending upon the way in which a system (like a religion, sect, society, culture, race, etc.) carries out its last rite (Antim Sanskara), its standing within the timeless and endless time span of existence of Makers Makings can be very easily determined … And where the last rite (Antim Samskara) is also dependent upon which of the four stages of life as per Vedas (Vedic Four Ashrama, i.e. Brahmacharya, Grihastya, Vanaprastha and Sannyasa) the aspirant was in at the time of death of the physical body … These last rites are either by Bhu Samadhi (burial of dead bodies), Agni Dah (or Agni Samadhi or cremate in fire or cremation in fire), Bhandara (feast of the dead body or feasting on dead) and Jal Samadhi (submerging the dead in water body) …

Thus, by the way through which a society, culture, race, religion, way of life, etc., takes care of the last impression (Antim Samskara) and that too during the last rites of the body of their dead, is what determines their state of evolution within the macrocosmic hierarchies … And this is what we would be discussing here …

This topic is in continuity with the previous topic that has the header of “Two primary paths of evolution, … Brahm Marg and Abrahm Marg” …

This topic is also related to another earlier topic that had the header of “Last impression or Antim Samskara” …

This topic is also related to many other earlier discussed topics, that are referred in various discussions of this topic …

AA) …

Four Ashrama … Ashrama of life … Ashrama Chatushtaya …

Prior we begin these discussions, four Ashrama (Ashrama of life or Ashrama Chatushtaya) would need to be discussed …

As per Vedic ways, the lifetime of anything (including of humans and their Gods and all other parts of macrocosmic speciology, including the creator deity or Brahma) is divided into four equal parts … These four equal parts are called as four Ashrama of any lifetime, irrespective of whether that lifetime is spent on a physical or gross world (like this planet earth) or within any of the divine worlds (Deva Loka) or even within the world of the four faced creator or grandfather of allness (I.e. Chatur Mukha Pitamah Brahma) …

And since the creation of creator (i.e. the entire Maker’s Makings and her each part) and Brahma himself has a lifetime of “100 Brahma years”, so all that was created by Brahma, also has a lifetime of 100 years and where the term years, is dependent upon the plane at which it is taken … Thus, 100 years at the pristine abode of creator (or abode of Brahma or Brahmaloka) are not of the same time span as 100 years at a Deva Loka (divine world) and these are also not the same as 100 years at this gross physical world (i.e. planet Earth) …

As the grossness of a world (or plane of existence) increases, then the time span of a unitary value of time, also reduces … And reciprocal of this is also true, that, as the subtlety of a world (or plane of existence) increases, then the time span of a unitary value of time, also increases … Thus, even when all gross, subtle and divine worlds (and also planes of existences) have their time spans of 100 years (years as are applicable that that gross or subtle, world or plane), yet their time spans are different …

And at each of these gross or subtle worlds (and planes) the time span of existence of anything, is 100 years (but where the years are as per the time units that are applicable at that plane) … And at each of these worlds and planes, the lifetime of anyone who rests there, is divided into four Ashrama as is being discussed here …

Each of these four Ashram’s (which denote the four stages of life) are divided equally, thus each of these four stages of life are of time span that equals to 25 years (and where years are as per the unit time that that is applicable at that world or plane of existence) …

This unit value of time is the celestial time that is applicable at that world (or plane of existence) from where this value is observed or derived … This value is dependent upon the precession of equinoxes of the world, from where this value if observed (i.e. it is dependent upon the axial precession of the world where the observer who observes it, is residing at that time of observation) …

These four Ashrama (i.e. four stages of a lifetime) are as follows …

1^st stage … This is of Brahmacharya … i.e. celibacy or state of a child …
2^nd stage … This is of Grihastya … i.e. married or conjugal life span or that part of life which leads to progeny and continuity of family lineage …
3^rd stage … This is of Vanaprastha … i.e. retiring in forests or wilderness and preparing for the next stage of Sanyasa …
4^th stage … This is of Sannyasa … i.e. the final state of renunciation and thence living in isolation during the wee years of one’s lifetime … Sanyasa denotes the last Ashram of life which paves the path of final liberation (Kaivalya Moksha) …

Every part of macrocosmic speciology (right from a cell or atom, till the universe and its divine worlds and until the creator or Brahma) has its own ways to comply to it … Thus, even when the same aspect of four Ashrams (Chatur Ashrama) are applicable to all, yet their ways of complying to it, are different …

BB) …

Four ways of Antim Sanskara or Last rite … The Vedic way …

In Vedic ways (i.e. ways of Sanatana Dharma or Veda Dharma), Antim Samskara is of the following four types as discussed below …

1^st … Jal Samadhi … Immersing in water body … The way of last rites of elders …

In the timeless Vedic tradition (Veda Parampara), this method of last rites is used as follows and for the following category of aspirants …

In this the dead body is immersed in water by attaching a weight to it, but through certain specific procedures …
This method is used for those aspirants, who have renounced everything and thence have been living as renunciate monks and/or as mendicants …
This method is also used for highly evolved aspirants who have attained such a high state of spiritual advancement, that makes then enter into certain higher aspects of evolutionary macrocosmic hierarchies …
And this method is also utilized for those rare aspirants, who have already attained whatever was there to be attained and thus are already liberated whilst still alive (i.e. this method is used when the aspirant has already attained to Jivanmukti) …
And this method is also used for those aspirants who command higher seats in Vedic spiritual hierarchy in a world i.e. the aspirant is an Acharya…
This is the method of Antim Samskara of an aspirant, who has traversed the first three Ashrams (or Brahmacharya, Grihastya and Vanaprastha) and thence has been living within the fourth Ashram as a Sanyasi, i.e. one who has entered in the last amongst the four Ashrams of Vedic ways of life, is also give his (or her) last rites as per this method …

2^nd … Agni Samadhi … Burning the dead (cremation) … Last rites of adults …

In the timeless tradition of Vedas (Veda Parampara of Dharma), this method of last rites is used as follows …

This method is of cremating the dead (Cremation of dead body) … And it is as follows …

The dead body is places in wood and burnt with fire … This is the most common method of cremation in Dharmic sects (i.e. Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism and aborigine or Adivasi ways of lire) …
Whilst the burning of the dead body is still underway, the head is pierced at a specific place … This place is of Shiva Randhra (i.e. the secret crevice of Paramguru Shiva which is located at the center of the top of head and in the center point of where the frontal and occipital lobes of skull bones meet each other) …
This piercing is termed as Kapaal Kriya (i.e. Kapala Kriya or the act on the skull bones) …
When the dead body is burning on the pyre, and after a while when it gets heated up, then the Pranamaya Kosha (Vital air sheath) gets supercharged … This leads to boiling of fluids in the body along with the boiling of Pancha Prana (five vital airs) and also the boiling of Pancha Upa Prana (five sub vital airs) … At such a time the top of head is pierced …
If the aspirant is evolutionary ready to be liberated (i.e. enter into Kaivalya or Moksha) then during this cracking of skull top bones , that aspirants last impression (Antim Samskara) which as such is like an “Octahedral elongated transparent or translucent crystal which is pointed at its one end and is of the size of a miniature grain of rice” can be evicted out of the Shivarandra (Secret crevice of Shiva which is located at the middle of top part of the skull bones) … At this time, some of the boiling (supercharged Prana) also exits the physical body, and this is the vitality (Prana) which evicts the last impression (Antim Samskara) along with it …
If this last impression (Antim Samskara) is evicted out, then the aspirant can immediately attain to a finally liberated state (i.e. the aspirants enters into Moksha or Kaivalya) …
At the time of Kapaal Kriya, to ensure that the Bhava (feelings) of the one who pierces the skull remain pristine (at the time of piercing), the closest blood line of the person is chosen of the job … This ensures that the subtle aspects of feelings (Bhava) of the one who executes the Kapaal Kriya, remain pristine and this is what leads to pristine eviction of the soul component of the dead body during the eviction of the last impression, which in turn ensures an unrestricted exit of the soul from the body and its attainment of that stage which as such is of Moksha … And thence its liberation (Kaivalya) is also possible when this part of feelings (Bhava) is taken care of … And this is why, the closest bloodline is chosen for this job, and usually it’s the elder son of the dead person …

Proceeding further … To discuss the category of aspirant whose dead body can be subjected to Agni Samadhi (Burning of dead body) …

Those aspirants who have died after already clearing the stage of Brahmacharya (i.e. going past the stage of celibacy or in other words, going beyond the stage of a child) …
Those aspirants who have completed their lifetime whilst they were resting in Grihastya …
Those aspirants who have also not passed through (or entered into) the stage of Vanaprastha (retiring into forests or 3^rd stage as discussed earlier on) …
Those aspirants who have completed their lifetime without passing beyond the stage of Vanaprastha and thus these aspirants have also not been as Sanyasi (renunciant or mendicant) …

Thus, basis above …

This way of last rites (or cremating the dead) is for regular humans who have lived their lives nicely within their families and died whilst they were adults (and not children) …
Those aspirants who have lived their life in the Vedic ways (or any other way of life that is associated to Sanatana Dharma), but have not attained that type of spiritual advancement which makes then qualify to the earlier discussed Jal Samadhi (Immersing the dead body in a water body) or below discussed Bhu Samadhi (burying the dead body) and Antim Bhandara (the last feast or the final feast) …

3^rd … Bhu Samadhi (Burial of dead) … The way of last rites of children …

In the timeless tradition of Vedic ways of life (Vaidik Parampara of Sanatan Dharma), this method of last rites is used as follows and only for the following category of aspirants …

In this method, the dead body is buried under the ground …
Thus, this method is for those who have died whilst they were still resting in a pre-adolescent stage of life (i.e. resting in Brahmacharya) …
This method is for those aspirants who have died before even passing into Grihastya (stage of married or conjugal life) …
Thus, basis above, when a young child dies, then his dead body is not burnt, but is given a Bhu Samadhi (i.e. it is buried and not burnt or immersed in water or given as food to other animate beings) …

Note … Bhu Samadhi is not Jeeva Samadhi or Maha Samadhi: This method of last rites (i.e. Bhu Samadhi) is not the same as Jeeva Samadhi (i.e. willingly entering into earth whilst alive and thence leaving the body whilst in a state of Absorption or Samadhi) … This stage of willingly entering into earth whilst alive and thence leaving the body whilst in a state of Absorption (or Samadhi), is only possible by accomplished Yogi’s, who have gone beyond the stage of life and death … Thus, this Jeeva Samadhi is for those advanced Yogi’s, who can permanently leave their body and that too at their will, by raising the energy component or vitality component of their own consciousness (i.e. they leave the body by raising raising their Kundalini) and thence taking their soul out of their own body … This process of Jeeva Samadhi is under the will of that Yogi and its place, date and time is also decided by that Yogi only … This Jeeva Samadhi can also be completed by building a small room around the Yogi’s sitting position and its date/time and place is also decided by that Yogi only …

Note continues: Maha Samadhi means “Great absorption” … Even in a Maha Samadhi, where a Yogi chooses the place, date and time of leaving the body is done in a similar manner and in this also, the Yogi just takes out his (or her) consciousness from his (or her) body whilst he is still alive … Mahasamadhi is undergone by very special, evolutionary qualified yogi’s who command the higher of hierarchies of macrocosmic creation (and not by any ordinary aspirant) … That Yogi who undergoes Mahasamadhi, can also become an instrument of liberation of many others who are along his side at the time of entering into Maha Samadhi (But provided other aspirants are evolutionary ready to enter into their own final liberation or Moksha) … IN this the soul of that Yogi is taken out without a burial or any other similar means as are during Jeeva Samadhi … Jeeva Samadhi and Mahasamadhi are not the same as Bhu Samadhi which was discussed earlier on in this topic …

4^th … Antim Bhandara (Feasting on the dead) … Last rites of abandoned ones …

In the timeless Vedic tradition (Vedic Parampara of Sanatana Dharma), this method of last rites is used in two ways and for the following category of aspirants …

The word Antim means “last (or final)” and the word Bhandara means a “feast” … Thus, this word “Antim Bhandara” means as the “last feast (or the final feast or the last food or the final food)” …
This category of last rite is used for derelict dead bodies (or abandoned or forsaken dead bodies) …
This kind of last rite is only applicable to those dead bodies whose lineage and/or the Ashrama (stage of life) and/or the Varna and/or the Gotra cannot be known …
In this system of last rites, the dead body may either be cut or may not be cut into pieces, but it is always given as food (or feast) to other other animate carnivorous beings …
Thus, this kind of feast is done for Lawaris Laash (Abandoned or ownerless dead body, which may be found to be lying somewhere and whose family, lineage, Ashrama, Varna, Gotra, etc., cannot be known at that time) …

Last rites, state of evolution and standing in vast time of Makers Makings …

Depending upon how a religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc., does the last rites of its dead, one can easily know its evolutionary standing within the macrocosmic hierarchies and also know its standing within that vast timeless, fathomless and thus beginningless endless time spans of the Makersmakings …

And this is what would be discussed here …

Case 1 … Determining the stage of child from the methods of last rites …

Basis earlier stated fact, we have discussed that during last rites, only children are buried …
Within the dimension of beginningless endless time of existence of the Makers Makings, when within the macrocosmic hierarchies, the evolutionary standing of a person, religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc., is of a childlike state, then the last rites would need them to bury their dead bodies …
Thus, such people (and religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc.) who bury their dead are in fact proving that their evolutionary progress and standing within the vast time spans of Maker’s Makings, is like that of pre-adolescent children … And this statement is irrespective of what anyone tells about them or their religious lineages or is written in their texts, because the fact still remains that only young children have ever been buried within the timeless, fathomless and thus eternal and original macrocosmic lineage of Vedas …
And since the method of last rites is the final proof of determining one’s evolutionary standing within the macrocosmic hierarchies and is also the final proof of where the aspirant stands within that timeless fathomless and thus beginningless endless state of time spans of existence of Maker’s Makings, so basis earlier discussions, all those who bury their dead are like pre-adolescent children only … And this is especially so, when we consider their time spans of existence and evolutionary standing within those timeless times of existence of the Makers Makings … So as far as their existence within the Makers Makings is concerned, those who bury their dead, are only proving whatever is written here as per the timeless traditions of Sanatana Dharma …

Some more aspects to prove above stated fact …

Just like all children are very fast in their growth, so are these religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc., who bury their dead as after they arrive, they also expand their memberships very fast …
Just like children are also very playfully destructive at times, so are these religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc., who bury their dead equally destructive to all better things and ways of life, especially when we see this fact after they have already been on a world for a millennium or two …
Just like all children think that they know everything, even when don’t really know how to live in the house of their parents and grandparents, so are these religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc., who bury their dead unaware of a proper way of life and thus after they come by and increase in numbers upon a world, they always lead to a cyclic state of chaos and peace in that world …
Just like children often fight over their own whims and fancies, so are these religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc., who bury their dead always leading to cycles of fighting’s and truce in the world …
Just like children like to write on the walls of the house and littering in the house where they live, so are the systems and codes of these younger religions, faiths, cultures, societies, races, etc., who bury their dead as they always use all means to show their existence in the world and which as such is like littering all over the place in that world …
Just like children like to be argumentative about wanting a chocolate, so are these religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc., who bury their dead especially when it comes to their tongue, stomach and taste (including of sex) for something …
Just like children like to destroy the esthetics of their homes during their senseless plays, so are these younger religions, faiths, cultures, societies, races, etc., who bury their dead …
Just like ignorant children want to gain attention, even if that attention is through destructive means, so are these religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc., who bury their dead …
Just like children like to read fairy tales and even think that their fairy tales are real, so are the scriptures of these younger religions, faiths, cultures, societies, races, etc., who bury their dead …
Just like children are always drawn to certain characters (like of cartoons, let’s just say Mickey and Donald or Tom and Jerry), so are the scriptures of these children designed to keep them attracted … For example, these scriptures always has a fairy tale like entity (or a few entities) who says it is all powerful, all present, all knowing, all creating, etc., and strangely but true, that greater entity is also highly individualistic (monotheistic) in its ways, in addition to being ignorant of the reality of running of the Makers Makings that is claims to have created in the first place …

Note: For those who don’t believe above, I advise them to read the stupidity of the “flat earth concept” of a recent religion and compare this to the highly evolved Vedic concept where geography (knowledge of geography) was called as “Bhugol, which means round earth (spherical earth)” … And I can quote hundreds of such examples which prove the fact, that kids always live in their own imaginary fairy tale like realms, even when they may seem to be physically present upon this gross or physical planet …

Just like children need to be often told, “listen up of else I will punish you”, so is the text of the greater entity of these religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc., who bury their dead … Thus, such greater entities of children (in evolutionary standings and in eternal time) always says such things many a times in its own texts so as to retain its memberships because any otherwise no fairy tale (scripture of childlike systems) can ever last a century upon a world …

And as a matter of fact …

These child like religions, faiths, cultures, societies, races, etc., who bury their dead can only enter the world when the age of ignorance is there, so they always come by during a Kaliyuga (degenerate age or age of ignorance of the reality) …
Such childlike religions always enter after the start of Kaliyuga (The presently underway Kaliyuga had started on/around 3102 BC, +/- 2 .7 years) because it is only during Kaliyuga, that they can enter a physical realm due to manifestation of a higher ignorance to the non-dual reality … In the other better ages, (i.e. during the time spans of the age of duality or Dwaparyuga, age of trinity or Tretayuga and age of truth or Satyuga) these childlike religions, faiths, etc., are never in such large numbers because of the fact, that, the the divinities of these other three ages are unfit to to accommodate their ignorant state …
After these childlike religions, faiths, cultures, societies, races, etc., who bury their dead, come by to a world, which itself has been the home of their original great grandparent, grandparents and parents (i.e. Sanatana Dharma and its vast number of sects), since timeless eternity, these children always try to take over the home (world) of their elders (Sanatan Dharma and its sects) … And since these children also grow as a faster rate that their elders, so they also manage to take over to a certain larger extent … But ultimately because they don’t really know the real codes of eternal way of life, which in turn makes them reside in their own fairy tale like mental world (i.e. falsity of Manoloka), so ultimately they always enter into chaos and end their temporary existence …
As also, since those imaginary fairy tales that their scriptures actually are, hold no eternal standing within the macrocosmic hierarchies, so their own fairytale like scriptures also hold the concept of an end of their time of existence … And this is in lieu to the “eternal cycle of time (i.e. the eternally cyclic nature of time or wheel of time or Kaalchakra) that has always been the the philosophy of all those cultures, who come in the purviews of the term “adults” as described in Case 2 below …

So basis above,

Basis the timelessly original Vedic tradition and which as such is the root of all traditions of the triple times, and upon whose foundation every religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc., has been based, right from the time it was originated anywhere within any of the worlds, planes and universes of the Makers Makings upon, if that society is like a child when we consider those limitless time spans as are of the existence of the Makers Makings, it would always be burying its dead …

And this very fact would also prove its childlike state as far as its evolutionary standing, within the vast timeless macrocosmic hierarchies are concerned …

Thus, those who bury their dead are like children in the timeless time spans of existence of Makersmakings in addition to being like children within the evolutionary hierarchy of the same Maker’s Makings …

Case 2 … Determining the stage of adult from the methods of last rites …

Basis earlier stated facts, we have discussed that during last rites, only adults are cremated in fire … And where that adult has to be someone who is not a renunciate or mendicant monk (i.e. that adult should be the one who has not yet entered into the fourth Ashrama of Sanyasa) …
Within the dimension of beginningless endless time of existence of the Makers Makings, when within the macrocosmic hierarchies, the evolutionary standing of a person, religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc., is of a adult like state, then the last rites would need them to burn their dead bodies …
Thus, such people (and religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc.) who burn their dead are in fact proving that their current stage of evolutionary progress and standing within the vast time spans of Makers Makings, is like that of adults who have not entered into the path of renunciation (Sanyasa) … And this statement is irrespective of what is told about them or their religious lineages or is written in their texts, because the fact still remains that only adults who have not entered into the path of renunciation (Sannyasa) have ever been cremated through fire within the timeless fathomless, eternal and original macrocosmic lineage of Vedas …
And since the method of last rite is the final proof of determining one’s evolutionary standing within the macrocosmic hierarchies and is also the final proof of where the aspirant stands within that timeless fathomless and thus beginningless endless state of time spans of existence of Maker’s Makings, so those who burn their dead are like adults only … And this is especially so, when we consider the totality of their time spans of existence and evolutionary standing within those timeless times of existence of the Makers Makings … So as far as their existence within the Makers Makings is concerned, those who burn their dead, are only proving whatever is written here and which itself is as per the timeless traditions of Veda Dharma (or Sanatana Dharma) …

Case 3 … Determining the stage of abandonment from methods of last rites …

Basis earlier stated facts, we have discussed that during last rites, only the dead bodies of those who are as abandoned ones, are offered as food (or feast) to other carnivore animate beings (who can eat them) …
Thus, only those whose family and other lineages (i.e. Varna, Gotra and Ashrama) cannot be known after their dead bodies are already lying abandoned, are offered as a feast to other animate beings (who can eat their dead bodies) …
Note this carefully … Within the dimension of beginningless endless time of existence of the Makers Makings, when within the macrocosmic hierarchies, the evolutionary standing of a person, religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc., is of an abandoned one (i.e. one who has already been abandoned by the entirety of Maker’s Makings), then the last rites would need them to offer their dead bodies as feast (to other carnivorous animate beings, who can feast on them or eat them) …
Thus, such people (and religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc.) who offer the bodies of their dead as feast, only prove that they are those who have already been abandoned by the entirety of Makers Makings …
And because they are abandoned ones, so their ways of life never adhere to the pluralistic monist ways of Makersmakings and thus, such ones are also those who always come by to a world (after the great grandmother of all philosophies or Sanatana Dharma sleeps) and thence lay down the first way of life, that relates to individualism (monotheism) …
Thus, the first system of individualism (monotheism of any sort, including of religions, races, cultures, creeds, economics, societies, military and security, health and safety, geographies, geopolitics, geological aspects, etc.) is always laid down by those people (and religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc.) who have already been abandoned by the divinities of Makers Makings …

Note: And contrary to above, those who are not abandoned and thus they rest within the purviews of the divinities of Makersmakings, always follow the system of ways of life of entirety of Makers Makings, i.e. they follow a system of ways of life which relates to the intrinsic pluralism and yet essentially monist ways of life, as is followed by the pristine and original divinities of Makers Makings and thus their ways of life, always relate to Vedas due to which they always have a concept of AUM (which in Sanskrit texts in also called as AOM, Omkar and OM) and thus this concept of OM or Omkar (or in other words, Lord of macrocosmic vitality or Pranava) is always there in such systems which are not abandoned by the pristine divinities of Makers Makings …

Proceeding further with this discussion …

Such people (and religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc.) always come by during each precession cycle … Their coming in is always after the stage when the great grandmother of all philosophies (Sanatan Dharma or Veda Dharma) enters into her cyclic sleep of about 9 millenniums …
As per the calculations that relate to the eternally moving wheel of time (Kaalchakra), the last time when this great grandmother of all philosophies (i.e. Sanatan Dharma or simply, Dharma) had entered into her cyclic sleep was on/around 6,990 BC (+/- 1 to 2.7 years) and which itself works to about 9,000 years from now …

Note: As per the currently applicable Nadir time units, their total lifetime in their state as abandoned ones, can never exceed 9072 years and thus prior 2082 AD (i.e. 6990 BC + 9072 years = 2082 AD, +/- 2.7 years) because after 2082 AD, when the divinities of the incoming age of sages (Guru Yuga) get established to a very large extent within this world, either these people (and religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc.) would have to enter back into the divinities of Makers Makings or if they refuse to (and thus they don’t) then they would have to exit out of this world … This is because, an age of sages (or Guru Yuga) has no place for abandoned ones … And this is why, as the inauguration of a Guru Yuga (i.e. golden age of Man or human golden age) keeps arriving closer, then such abandoned ones also keep losing their reproductive ability to an ever larger extent …

And due to being abandoned, such people (and religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc.) flourish on the world, but only until the Nadir phase of axial precession comes by … Axial precession cycle is the one which relates to the Manav Yuga Chakra (or the human age cycle) …
As the Nadir phase keeps coming closer and thence it cuts in the world (which in the presently underway Precessional cycle had manifested on/around 786 AD), these people gradually lose their lands and place in the world because other individualistic systems of Nadir phase that come to that world and thence expand their presence in that world (which is also as per the call of that cycle of time) ultimately conquer them and displace their survivors to their root land (i.e. India or Bharat or the land of Vedas to which they ultimately relate as far as their root is concerned) … Thus, such people (and religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc.) only live happily as a race until the coming in of Nadir phase of precession cycle and after the Nadir phase comes, they invariably get into all sorts of problems due to being displaced out of their original lands …
And due to being abandoned, during the time of waking up of the great grandmother of all philosophies (which for the present cycle of precession of equinoxes, had cut in on/around 1974 AD, +/- 1 to 2.7 years) such people (and religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc.) also begin losing their capacity of progeny and thus their numbers (or memberships) also reduce drastically …
And yet because they are honest people, so at this stage also, they are economically better off than many others (economics is written here, as it denotes Artha which as such is the only applicable Purushartha during any divine degenerate age cycle, just as it is applicable as of now) …
And since as of now the same degenerate age cycle is underway, so even when these people (and religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc.) have been abandoned and their membership would be reducing, yet they would be economically much better off than most others in that land where they live …
Since these abandoned people (and religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc.) are the original monotheistic sect of a world, and when they had come, only Vedic ways of life were as the way of life of humanity, so their scriptures and language of their scriptures also closely resembles that of Vedas and yet they deviate in many ways from original Vedic lore, which as such was the reason for their abandonment by the divinities of Maker’s Makings …
And even when above is true, yet their scriptures relate to Hiranyagarbha Brahma (this name refers to the creator of all and where that creator is as the golden womb, within whose envelopes the entire creation of allness had originally taken place), but where Hiranyagarbha (i.e. the golden womb within whose envelopes the macrocosmic creation has originally originated) is naught but as Karya Brahma (Doer Maker or the makes who actually originates everything out of itself) … Thus, their deity is none other than eternal and infinite light …

Note: Hiranyagarbha is none other than Tatpurusha face of Shiva, who in Vedic lore, Yogic lore’s and also in the Yoga Tantra is also addressed as Okar (which means as the sound of O) and who in some other Shaiva Lore’s is also addressed as Tatpurusha face of Sadashiva … And basis what is does to ones existence and evolutionary process (after an aspirant self-realizes it and thence that aspirants consciousness also begins resting within its pristine envelopes, the same Hiranyagarbha is the one who gets addressed as Ukar (which means, one who lifts up ones existence and evolutionary progress substantially) … Within the Buddhist lore’s, the same Hiranyagarbha is also addressed as Amitabha Buddha (The word Amitabha means, eternal, infinite and endless light) and also as Dharmakaya …

But as this process of waking up of the great grandmother of all philosophies continues and eventual reaches its mid phase (i.e. 1974 AD + 108/2 years = 2028 AD, +/- 2.7 years and a further 7 years), these ones can also walk the path of their survival as a group of people (and religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc.) who would be entering into the incoming Guru Yuga (golden age of man or human golden age or age of sages) …
But since this path of survival of these abandoned people (and religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc.) would no longer keep them associated to their currently abandoned state and its ways of life, so it also cannot be disclosed openly (in a text like this) …

Concluding this part of discussion …

Thus, basis above is is pretty clear that all systems of last rites (Antim Sanskara) that ever are, have been related to those that were originally given by Vedic sages … And this also proves that Vedic knowledge is the root of all the ways that ever are of conducting the last rites within any religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc., that has ever been during the entirety of the triple times …

Other than the Vedic way of last rites and their categories (as discussed in this topic), there is no other … And even when a religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc., may not accept this fact, yet its last rites are definitely related to one of those which originally were laid down by the ancient Vedic sages …

DD) …

End of age cycles and its application to primary ways of last rites of people …

When an age ends, then depending upon what age it is and what type of age cycle it is, are the primary ways of last rites that are automatically applicable to all parts of macrocosmic speciology who resides in a world …

During the end of age cycles, these ways automatically manifest due to a variety of unavoidable and sometimes spontaneous reasons, which may be manmade or natural or even divine …

Note: In this part of the topic also, the time span used is of middle time units of precession of equinoxes (or Agragaman Chakra or Aahata Chakra) … This is because, since that timeless eternity of existence of Vedas, Vedic sages have always utilized that unitary value of time which relates to the middle point of the precession cycle (Agragaman or Ahaata) …

Case 1 … During Manvantara end … Flooding leads to Jal Samadhi of most …

Manvantara means the cycle of Manu or Age of Manu … This has a cyclic time span of manifestation of 306,720,000 human solar years …

Manu is the father of man or in other words, the first human or father of humanity … Manu is also the father of all parts of macrocosmic speciology, as all these are also in Manu’s family lineage only … Thus, all vegetation, animals, birds, fish and all other forms of life are also in the lineage of Manu Maharaj only …

Each Kalpa of Brahma (day time of Brahma) has 14 Manvantara (14 age’s of Manu) and thus also has 14 different Manu … We as of now are living in the age of seventh Manu of the current Day time of Brahma (i.e. Kalpa) …

Within this Brahma Kalpa (The currently running day time of Brahma), the first Manu who came by was the “mind born son of Brahma” and thus he is also addressed as the self-born first-man (Swayambhu Manu) … He came about 1.96+ billion human solar years ago and he also was my first Gurudeva of this Kalpa …

The word Manu also means Mantra (Mantra is not same as Verse or Ayat), Mantra Drashta (seer of Mantras), Mantrartha Sthit (one whose consciousness rests within the innermost meaning of Mantra), Mantra Vakta (Teller of Mantras just as he sees them), Mantra Sthapak (i.e. the one who originally lays down the knowledge of Mantras), etc., …

So with above as a base, we continue further …

As the Manvantara commences, a Manu of that Manvantar arrives … With him also come many other parts of macrocosmic speciology, including humans and where these macrocosmic parts also originate out of Manu’s wife and thus, all these parts of macrocosmic speciology are also resting within the lineage of Manu Maharaaj only …
All these parts of macrocosmic speciology are a mix of all four aspects which we have discussed above (i.e. those who are buried in earth, cremated in fire and immersed in water) and in minor numbers, the abandoned ones (those who are offered as feast) also arrive …
During the start of any Manvantara, the process (or existence and evolution) that is laid down by Manu, immediately brings them all (all parts of macrocosmic speciology) to the adult stage and thence to the further stage of elders i.e. the systems which a Manu lays down for evolutionary existence immediately makes everyone to become qualified to either be cremated or be immersed during their last rites … Thus, Manu’s systems are never related to the other two aspects of last rites (i.e. of burying the dead or feasting on dead) …
But due to their own Samskaras (impressions that relate to past earned higher or lower merits of these originated parts of macrocosmic speciology), they slowly become deviated and walk their own ways (this deviation also happens across each precession cycle, just as it now is visible in this world) …
But as the Manvantara progresses, all these humans ultimately evolve to the stage of elders and thus their cremations mostly are as per what was discussed as “immersion in water (Jal Samadhi) …
Thus, when any Manvantara (Age of Manu) ends, because most of the humans are evolutionarily high in their macrocosmic standings and most are like elders only, so a great flood always comes by at this stage (of end of any Manvantar) …
And this is why, each religion of today talks about some great flood in human history and where the entire earth was as if “mostly” immersed in water … That great flood only denotes the end of a Manvantara (End of an age of Manu) …
Thus, at end of Manvantara, because all humans are highly evolved, so they are immersed in water within that great flood (and thus they undergo Jal Samadhi) …
And during the end of a Manvantar, only a few highly evolved sages who self-volunteer to be saved, are ultimately saved … And after this, these sages continue their life on this planet and ensure that their knowledge is transferred to their future generations who would be present upon earth, then the next Manvantar comes with its next Manu (Between end of a Manvantar and beginning of the next Manvantar, there is a gap of 1.728 million years) …
Thus, the lineages (familial and/or knowledge lineages) of these saved ones (of the last Manvantar) are the ones who would become the seeds of the next Manvantara, when the next Manu comes by and re-initiates them into the ever-same, timelessly eternal, Vedic ways of life …

Concluding this discussion …

Thus, at the end of any Manvantara, it mostly is Jal Samadhi that becomes the way of Antim Sanskara (last rites) and this Jal Samadhi is rendered by mother nature, who by herself is the mother of allness and her each part …

And this Jal Samadhi is provided by Mother Nature (Ma Prakriti) because she knows that almost all her children who had started off with the Manu of that Manvantar, have become evolved and thus they are like elders as far as their high evolutionary standings within her macrocosmic hierarchies is concerned …

And at the end stages of a Manvantar, mother nature also knows, that, they (all parts of macrocosmic speciology who inhabits a planet) mostly deserve to be immersed in water (i.e. mostly need to undergo through Jal Samadhi) as per the timeless traditions of Vedas which relate to the last rites and to any Sanyasi (i.e. one who rests in the ways of life of a renunciate or mendicant) …

And thus, that great flood which is talked by in many systems (religions, texts, scriptures) which always comes at the end of a Manvantara, is also caused by her and is also due to the same reason as discussed here about last rites of elders …

Case 2 … During end of a Kalpa (Day of Brahma) and during night of Brahma …

A Brahma Kalpa, means day of Brahma … After the day of Brahma, night of Brahma comes by … Both Brahma Kalpa and Brahma Ratri have a time span of 4.32 billion human solar years …

But because the stage of end of Brahma Kalpa (Day time of Brahma) leads to the night of Brahma (Brahma Ratri), and during this stage of Brahma Ratri occurs what was told as Naimittika Pralaya (great destruction of the Milky way Galaxy) takes place, due to collision of galaxies that happen at this stage of end of a Kalpa, so there is also a vast destruction of the galaxy and where this destruction is both by inter-galactic and intra galactic collisions …

Since during this time, most of the humans who rest on the world are adults within the dimension of time and within their evolutionary existence, so there is a widespread destruction by fire … Thus, at end of a Kalpa, there is mostly the stage of cremation by fire (Agni Samadhi) …

But at the same time, since during the time of these galactic collisions, various parts of the colliding galaxies (i.e. various planets, moons, celestial bodies, etc.) also collide with each other, so there also are water immersions (Jal Samadhi) and large earthquakes (Bhu Samadhi) at such a stage of time when a Kalpa ends (i.e. when a day of Brahma ends) …

As also, during the end of a Brahma Kalpa (Day time of creator), when the Naimittik Pralaya takes place, and when galaxies collide with each other, the planetary sun is also very large sized and due to this reason, the last rites are mostly by fire …

But as discussed above, these last rites are also by burial and water immersion which mostly is because galactic paths becomes erratic for a while during these stages of collision of galaxies …

These galactic collisions (but in reference to the collision of Milky way) have already been discussed in an earlier topic of Naimittik Pralaya … And there these collisions also are in three stages, just as it has been discussed in that topic of Naimittika Pralay …

Case 3 … During the time of a solar revolution (Galactic year) …

In an earlier topic, we had already calculated the time span of a solar revolution (or Galactic year) …

During the progress of any solar revolution cycle, continents break apart (i.e. there is a continental drift) and thence during the later stages of the same cycles of solar revolution (galactic year), these continents which have drifted apart, also re-unite back to each other …

And thus there is a continental shift which takes place during a solar revolution cycle (i.e. as the sun revolves around the center of milky way galaxy) …

During this process of shifting of continents there are vast earthquakes (unimaginable to present day humans and their current scientific parameters in seismology) and in this, the last rites which take place are mostly of burial (I.e. Bhu Samadhi, which was discussed earlier on) …

But at the same time, due to these earthquakes, volcanic activity also happens (which leads to cremation by fire or Agni Samadhi or Agni Dah) and in addition to this, water bodies also begin flooding some lands (Like in cases of Tsunami, etc.) so there is also a component of Jal Samadhi (last rites by immersion in water) … And simultaneously, the abandoned dead bodies (which could not be taken care by other three methods) are also automatically available as food for those animate beings, who can feast on them …

Thus, at this time, Mother nature and her divinities, mostly provide last rites as per all of the four criterion of last rites (which we have already discussed earlier on and as per who is a child, adult, elder or an abandoned one) …

Thus during the progress of a solar revolution (Galactic year), one of these four types of last rites keep happening at different times and at different places and which itself is as per the evolutionary standing of majority of humans (of that place) …

Thus the process of drifting of continents (or continental drift) during any revolution of sun around the Milky way, keeps providing cyclic opportunities as far as the four types of last rites are concerned …

This process of drifting of continents (or continental drift) is already discussed in an earlier topic …

Case 4 … During end of a divine age cycle …

There are four divine ages in any divine age cycle (Mahayuga) … We have already discussed these four divine ages (Deva Yuga) in a previous topic …

Depending upon the divine age (Deva Yuga) which is ending and the divine age (Deva Yuga) which is about to commence, is the type of last rite that mother nature and cosmic divinities render and where this rendering may even be through other humans …

So, there is no fixed rule for this and thus any type or all types of last rites may be there at this time …

However during the end of a divine age, since an Avatar of Sriman Naaraayana comes, so the effects of mother nature are within the requirements of that Avatar of Sriman Narayana …

Case 5 … During end of human age cycle …

There are four human ages in any human age cycle (Manav Yuga Chakra) … We have already discussed these four human ages (Manav Yuga) in a previous topic …

Depending upon the human age (Manav Yuga) which is ending and the human age (Manav Yuga) which is about to commence, is the type of last rite that mother nature and cosmic divinities render and where this rendering may even be through other humans …

So there is no fixed rule for the type of last rite which would be effected at such a time and thus any or all four types of last rites may be there at this time … And in reality, its mostly a spaghetti of effects that relate to manmade, natural and divine chaos … And in this process of end of a human age (Manav Yuga) and commencement of the next human age cycle (Manav Yuga Chakra), all four types of last rites happen (depending upon the persons evolutionary standing) may be present …

But, since this world is already resting in the process of end of the present human age cycle and the further stage of beginning of the human golden age cycle (Manav Satyuga or Manav Kritayuga or human age of truth or age of sages or Guru Yuga, call it whatever you want to), so the chaos which would be coming by, would be of vast proportions and it would lead to an automatic manifestation of all four types of last rites of humans who reside on this world …

But at the same time, because this stage is related to change of human ages, so the chaos would also be mostly manmade, even when it won’t seen to be so …

At the change of a human age cycle, a sage always arrives … And when the Guru Yuga is about to come by, there is always an advent of a sage from Maheshvara (i.e. during the process of advent of a Guru Yuga, a sage descends from the Tatpurusha face of Shiva and thence enters into this world) … That sage would ultimately be the Yuga Sthapak (i.e. one who installs a subtle yet extremely strong foundation of the age of sages within this universe) …

That sage of Maheshwara may also act as the warrior of great darkness (or warrior of zero infinite, infinite zero) and thus would be like the entire Maha Tamas (i.e. Great darkness or in other words, this can also be termed as Mahatam) in a human form and thus would also be like or Maha Shunya (great emptiness or great void) within a human form …

And since he descends from Tatpurusha face of Sadashiva, which as such is the first cardinal face of Sadashiva, so after he descends and then the pristine divinities of Makers Makings come to know about his secret advent, then all Vedic Devi and Deva would begin leaving their forts (temples) and returning back to the earth …

And with these Deva and Devi, would also be returning other forgotten divinities like those stated below …

Panch Deva … Five original, primary and pristine divinities …
All Vedic Devi and Devata … including 33 Koti Devi Devata …
Panch Vidya … Five divinities of knowledge … And where knowledge is not limited to that of scriptures …
Dus Mahavidya … Ten great knowledge systems …
Ashta Matrika and Ashta Bhairava … Eight mothers and their eight lords …
Chausat Yogini and Chausat Yogi (Bhairava) … 64 great and universal feminine sages and their 64 consorts …
Gram Devi and Gram Devata … The village deities (Village Devi and Deva) …
Highly evolved sages and warriors of all times …
And many more who have either already left their temples or are about to leave and thus have already returned back to earth or are in the process of returning back after 21 February 2022 (night time – in IST) …

And after they return back, the process of change of the present human age cycle would also be speeded up … As also, since the change of ages is always based in all sorts of chaos, so that variable state of chaos would also be seen at different places within this world …

This stage of exit of Deva and then the further (or later stage) of return of Deva is already discussed in an earlier topic …

EE) …

How to know the stage of child, adult, elder or abandoned system …

This is knows by the stage of progress of lifetime of creator of allness (Brahma’s lifetime and its stage) and that too through the unit value of time, that relates to Brahma’s pristine abode (Brahma Loka) …

This is calculated as follows …

Note on all below stated numeric values: These values are stated as per middle units of time and this is also related to the eternally moving cycle of precession of equinoxes … Since middle time units, have always been used within all Vedic calculations, so all below stated values are as per the middle unitary value of time of any cycle of axial precession … Bear this in mind when reading below stated values …

The creator lives at his pristine abode (i.e. Brahmaloka) … This pristine abode of creator (i.e. Brahma’s Loka) is also termed as Sadyojata face of Shiva (and in some Shaiva Paths, the same is also called as Sadyojata face of Sadashiva or simply Sadyojata) …
Brahma (creator of allness) has a total lifetime of 100 Brahma years (I write Brahma years here and not human solar years) …
Each year of Brahma has 360 days … This year of Brahma is termed as Brahma Varsha (and as Brahma Vatsara) and it has a time span of 3.1104 trillion human solar years …

Note: This time span of 3.1104 trillion human solar years is also the time that is taken for completing one revolution of Milky way around the center of universe, which as such was self-originated as per the Vedic concept of self-manifestation of Shiva as an infinite staff of fire and which as such is termed as Lingodbhava in Vedic Sanskrit texts) …

Note: Above is why there is a concept of 360 days in a year in original macrocosmic knowledge system (i.e. Vedas) … And the same concept (of three six zero) is also there in many later religions that came by during the last close to 9,000 years of sleep of the great grandmother of all philosophies (i.e. Sanatan Dharma or simply the Veda Dharma) …

Each day of Brahma has 4.32 billion human solar years … This day of Brahma is also termed as Brahma Kalpa … And Brahma also has an equal night time and thus the night of Brahma (Brahma Ratri) also has a time span of 4.32 billion human solar years … Manifestation of day and night of Brahma also alternate each other …
Thus, Brahma’s total lifetime of 100 Brahma years, becomes equal to 311.040 trillion human solar years …
And as of now, Brahma is already in his 51^st Brahma year and thus, the creator of this multi-universal macrocosmic creation, actually is slightly (1 year) beyond the middle of his lifetime …
So if we consider the applicability of the earlier discussed four stages of life (i.e. Celibacy or Brahmacharya, Grihastya or married conjugal life, Vanaprastha or Retiring to forest and Sannyasa or renunciation), each of which are of 25 Brahma years, then it puts Brahma in the beginning of the third stage of Vanaprastha … I.e. within his own stages of lifetime, the creator of the multi-universal macrocosmic creation is no longer in Grihastya (i.e. married conjugal life where he can originate something new out of himself) and he is already in the stage that is comparable to retiring into forests (wilderness) so as to prepare him for the final stage of renunciation of allness (including his own macrocosmic creation) which itself would be leading to the final dissolution of allness of creation of the Maker (but this is only after Brahma is about to complete his entire lifetime, that is of 100 Brahma years and which in human solar years becomes as 311.040 trillion, as per middle time units of Precession of earths equinoxes) …
And those ancient Vedic sages had also told … That, countless Brahmas have come and gone till now … As a Brahma leaves his pristine abode (i.e. Brahmaloka or Sadyojata) due to entering into a final renunciation of allness (i.e. Brahma gets completely stationed in Sanyasa, of the fourth Ashrama), then the universe he had created earlier on, completely dissolutes …
And then when the universe has had a time of rest in its dissoluted state, and which itself is the same as the time span of existence of the earlier Brahma, then a new Brahma comes by, and thence that new Brahma re-creates a new multi-universe …
Thus, until now countless Brahmas have come and gone and the Vedas have remained as the way of life (i.e. Dharma) of each of these countless Brahmas … And since Brahma’s ways of life are Vedic, so all Vedic deities (i.e. all Devi and Deva) and the entire multi-universal macrocosmic creation also has the same way of life …
Thus, as far as the current Brahma is concerned, the real age of Veda Dharma (Sanatana Dharma or simply Dharma) is the same as the age of present Brahma (i.e. 51^st Brahma year) and which is about 196+ human solar years (as per middle units of time of the cycle of precession of earth axis) …

Now utilizing this lifetime of Brahma to know the hierarchical cosmic standing of anything (like a any religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc.,)within the creation of Brahma …

Any religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc., whose total time span of existence is lesser than 25 Brahma years, i.e. 25 multiply by 3.11040 trillion human solar years, are considered as children who are still in the process of learning … This is how it is from the point of view of the Makers Makings, because until completion of 25 Brahma years, they still are deemed to be resting in the stage of student or child (i.e. they are deemed to be resting in the stage of celibacy or Brahmacharya) …
Any religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc., whose total time span of existence is between 25 Brahma years (i.e. 25 multiply by 3.11040 trillion human solar years) and 50 Brahma years (i.e. , i.e. 50 multiply by 3.11040 trillion human solar years) are considered as adults who are still in the process of their married life, and expansion of progeny … This is how it is from the point of view of the Makers Makings, because from 25 Brahma years until completion of 50 Brahma years, they still are deemed to be resting in the stage of married conjugal life (i.e. Grihastya) …
Any religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc., whose total time span of existence is between 50 Brahma years (i.e. 50 multiply by 3.11040 trillion human solar years) and 75 Brahma years (i.e. , i.e. 75 multiply by 3.11040 human solar trillion years) are considered as retirees of society and as those who have gone past their married life, and progeny … This is how it is from the point of view of the Makers Makings, because from 50 Brahma years until 75 Brahma years, they still are deemed to be resting in the stage of retiring into forests on their mental and/or physical realms (i.e. they are in Vanaprastha) …
And any religion, faith, culture, society, race, etc., whose total time span of existence is between 75 Brahma years (i.e. 75 multiply by 3.11040 trillion human solar years) and 100 Brahma years (i.e. , i.e. 100 multiply by 3.11040 human solar trillion years) are considered as elders who are those who have gone past their married life, and progeny and have also gone past their stage of retirement into wilderness (Vanaprastha) as they have already entered into Sanyasa (path of final renunciation of allness) … This is how it is from the point of view of the Makers Makings, because from 75 Brahma years until completion of 100 Brahma years, they still are deemed to be resting in the stage of renunciation of allness on their mental and/or physical realms (i.e. they are in the path of a Sannyasi) …

End note:

Since Sanatana Dharma (which means as the eternal way of life or the eternal law or simply Dharma) has always been there since the time when the present Brahma had self-originated, so Dharma also has the same lifetime as Brahma … And thus as of now, Sanatan Dharma is is also in the 51^st Brahma year …

This means, within the timeless time span of existence of this multi-universal state of Makers Makings, Sanatana Dharma is in its 51^st Brahma year and thus is already gone past the married conjugal life (i.e. Grihastya Ashrama) and it as of now in in Vanaprastha (retiring into forests and wilderness, which as such is from the start of 51^st Brahma year and would continue until the completion of 75^th Brahma year) …

This is also the reason for all sects of Sanatana Dharma (whose root is of Veda Dharma) to respect those who are renunciate monks in their respective sects because renunciation denotes the stage which is beyond the present Brahma and Dharma itself (as present Brahma and Dharma is still in the third Ashrama of Vanaprastha, which as such is one stage prior the fourth Ashrama of Sanyasa) … Thus, a Sanyasi is one who in his (or her) evolutionary standing, is within the Ashrama that is higher than the Ashrama of the present creator and this itself is the reason for Dharmic sects to have their special respects for every Sannyasi (renunciate and mendicant monk) …
