HEAD OVERSEER’S WEEKLY MESSAGE
August 10, 2018
Last weekend in the Chapel of the Holy Child, we were speaking about some of the ancient religious concepts of India. In many ways similar to early Christian concepts, various ancient Indian philosophies and teachings regarded human society as being dominated by the primeval laws of nature. They viewed rulers and nations as dominated by greed, recklessness and cruelty, and constantly contending for power and oppressing the people.
Yet, many sages of that culture envisioned a future age when the Supreme Creator would intervene in world affairs and, eventually, bring peace and harmony to all peoples and nations of the world. This age was to be one of Universal Justice and Virtue when God would end the eternal struggle caused by human and natural order and disorder. He would use the very Powers of Creation to stabilize the Universe after a time of great trial and tribulation.
Much the same as Christians believing in the returning Jesus, Indian seers also believed in a King of kings who would restore order in the world. The Indian allegory was as rich as that of the Jews who had prophesied the return of God who would first send the Prophet Elijah and then the Sun of Righteousness which would manifest in the End Times of the Earth to judge the world by increasing the strength of the sun’s rays sevenfold and thus burn up all evil and wickedness in the world. Likewise, various Indian traditions spoke of the coming Cakra or Chakravartin who would put an end to all resistance and forever establish peace in which the inhabitants of the world would live in tranquility as one family.
The allegory of the Vedic and Puranic scriptures reveals the King to be a Mahapurusha, a supernatural being who would set into motion the Chakra (Cakra) varta, the Sun of Heaven whose rays would be irresistible. This was to be a sign of God’s intervention in the world when at its dawning the Sun would turn as a wheel with eight spokes. It would be at this time that the entire world would be unified under its all-conquering and indestructible rays.
As a successor to The Buddha, the Universal Monarch, an enlightened being – the Maitreya – would instruct the world under the Sun in the doctrines of the release from bondage. This Enlightened One was to announce his appearance into the world at the time of his birth – a seer-child, a miraculous babe, who was to be known by seven signs and thirty-two shining marks blazing like jewels by which he would be identified. No one would declare him. He would announce his own ministry proclaiming the advent of the Wheel of the Law which would be set in motion at the time of his appearance on Earth.
Once set in motion, the Wheel of the Law would begin a New Age on Earth by sending forth its rays of Sacred Fire to, in turn, set in motion the chakras (cakras) or sun-wheels within the spiritual bodies of those seeking enlightenment.
