COSMOS THE BODY OF GOD: ISA PURUSHA TATVA<br />
M.M.NINAN<br />
WILL IT FALL AGAIN?<br />
Will there be an ongoing cycle <strong>of</strong> creation, fall and redemption? Certainly it is a possibility. As long<br />
as the children have the free will, the possibility will remain. If Lucifer who was close to <strong>God</strong> could<br />
fall, every other child <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong> has that freedom and possibility. Father’s love will still continue to<br />
sacrifice and redeem.<br />
Will there be Cycle <strong>of</strong> Creation, fall, and redemption? We do not know because we have no specific<br />
revelation <strong>of</strong> these eras in the Bible. There is another reason for this ignorance. Time and events<br />
evolve and are not predestined. We can only guess the procedures based on the character <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong> and<br />
Man.<br />
HINDU YUGA THEORY<br />
Indian Hindu teaching has come to take it for granted not only that this will happen and thee cycle <strong>of</strong><br />
creation and redemption process will go on eternally. It starts with the perfect state <strong>of</strong> Satya Yuga<br />
and the moral standard and belligerence <strong>of</strong> creation against <strong>God</strong> will gradually increase unless an<br />
incarnation <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong> redeems it back to perfect state. They not only make it a perfect cycle like the day<br />
month year with predefined periods. This would simply mean that everything is predestined and thus<br />
the whole thing will ultimately reduce to a game <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong>.<br />
Swami Sriyukteswar Giri (1855 - 1936) is the monastic name <strong>of</strong> Priyanath Karar was the guru <strong>of</strong><br />
Swami Satyananda Giri and Paramahansa Yogananda. Sri Yukteshwar was an educator, astronomer, a<br />
Jyotisha (Vedic astrologer), a yogi, and a believer in the Bhagavad Gita and the Bible. The book, The<br />
Holy Science was written by Swami Yukteswar in 1894 under the title Kaivalya Darsanam. Sri<br />
Yukteswar states that he wrote The Holy Science at the request <strong>of</strong> Mahavatar Babaji. The book<br />
compares parallel passages from the Bible and Upanishads in order to show the unity <strong>of</strong> all religions.<br />
Here are some quotes from the book:<br />
• “The Eternal Father <strong>God</strong> Swami Parambrahma is the only Real Substance, Sat, and is all in all<br />
in the universe.”<br />
• “Man possesses eternal faith and believes intuitively in the existence <strong>of</strong> a substance, <strong>of</strong> which<br />
the objects <strong>of</strong> sense – sound, touch, sight, taste, and smell, the component parts <strong>of</strong> this visible<br />
world – are but properties….The Eternal Father <strong>God</strong>, the only substance in the universe is,<br />
therefore, not comprehensible by man <strong>of</strong> this material world, unless he becomes divine by<br />
lifting his self above this creation <strong>of</strong> Darkness Maya.”<br />
