Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Narayana is Self-born Spirit, ever stirring the “primordial Ocean of Space” or Akasha, which is Its progeny. Are the “Great Waters” the same as those on which the Darkness moved? Narayana is Androgyne Wisdom, the Sophia of the Gnostics, the Hindu female Nari, vivifying the “waters” of chaos or potential matter from afar, without touching the abyss of darkness; She is unable to do so for Wisdom being purely intellectual cannot act directly on matter. Says Vishnu: “I called the name of water Nara in ancient times, and am hence called Narayana, for that was always the abode I moved in.” (Ayana) The “moist principle” of Space becomes “wet” only after its separation by Narayana’s invisible Flame. · Narayana is Self-created, i.e., Unmanifested Logos (Īśvara is Logos Manifested). · He is the “mover on the Waters” of space. · He is one and the same as Shekhīnah and Daivīprakriti, the Light of Logos. · Not only Narayana makes us all sing and dance around Him in a circle, He is the choirmaster at the centre of our being. · Appearing with every Manvantara as Narayana, He remains ever “Concealed in Akasha and present in Ether.” · He is, and yet He is Not. In terms of the Sacred Word, Nara is A, the Germ, Divine Spirit or Holy Ghost, that fecundates Nari or U, Kosmos’ Virgin Matrix or Waters of Life, which is an emanation of Itself. Narayana is M, the Spirit of God, moving the two into existence. Narayana is The ONE or the Pythagorean Monas, dwelling in solitude and darkness. Says a Master of Wisdom: “Pythagoras had a reason for never using the finite, useless figure 2, and for altogether discarding it. The ONE can, when manifesting, become only Three. The unmanifested, when a simple duality, remains passive and concealed.” Narayana is the Eternal Breath of the Unconscious All, ever arousing the slumbering Waters of Life, which are the Noumenon of Matter also bearing Latent Spirit. He is the ONE and only Cause of Duality. Narayana is the seventh and highest principle of our solar system. He throbs in the heart of every spiritual man, and everywhere. He is Logos Itself. Genesis’ “Heaven and Earth” alludes to the separation of the Primordial Substance to Light in its upper (Spirit), and Darkness in its lower portions (Matter), i.e., to the separation of the invisible from the visible by the Firmament, which is the manifested Universe. Narayana may be plunged in the Waters of Wisdom but He is not the God of the Waters. Varuna is the Vedic God of the Waters of Space, Akasha or “Heaven,” and prototype of the Greek Ouranos. “He who breaks Varuna’s laws is punished by Indra.” For Indra is the Vedic God of the real Firmament, or Mahat-Nous, and prototype of the Illusion of Separateness.
