The better you understand life and existence, the better equipped you are to live it wisely. So many spend their lives living it with very little understanding of what it is. Wouldn’t it be better to understand it, before you try to live it? Here we explore that essential knowledge of the ancients, which today remains a secret to most.

Here we take a look at what the Vedas have to say about UFOs and ancient technological marvels that some attribute to ancient aliens visiting earth. Light is shed on the matter from the perspective of Vedic knowledge, including the nature and structure of the universe. This goes far beyond conventional UFO perspectives to sort out the full spectrum of life throughout space, time, and dimension. To listen, please click here.
This podcast discusses our world today and what the ancient Masters had to say about it. Without proper context, our lives are really just blown in the wind. But context is not just concepts, facts or a paradigm. Knowing all about it is just a good beginning, all too often mistaken for the end. Here we explore the big picture including the light of Shuddha Chaitanya, Vishwa Chaitanya, Brahman, Atman, Jiva, Apurva etc. Two points determine the line which gives direction to life. Wherever and whatever our societies have become, may this podcast give insight into the secrets of the ancient Masters that offer direction to societies one and all. To listen, please click here.
Be it religion, economics, or building a shed in the backyard; life just works better when it makes sense. But that is easier said than done. What does ‘sense’ mean anyway? We take a look at ‘sense’ from various angles as it applies to different fields of life. We explore that ancient secret, what it all means and how to live it. We will also take a quick look at some interesting developments in physics.To listen to the podcast, please click here.
Please note: In this podcast when I briefly talked about physics, I talked about particles in space draining energy from light. In the moment, I knew I was forgetting to say something more but could not recall what that was. Very simply, when energy is drained from light, the frequency of the light is reduced. So the idea is that it is not because the universe is expanding that the frequency of the light goes down, but rather that the frequency reduction is the result of the drain of energy (for those interested the formula is: energy equals frequency times planck’s constant or simply that energy and frequency are directly proportional).
I learned a tremendous amount about the construction of an “Enlightened City” over the past 20 years. To even begin to describe it all requires some background in Vedic Knowledge. Principles in the Vedic literature must not only be understood but (much more of a challenge) must be embodied before one can begin to fathom the fantastic technology. In the Ancient Secrets Revealed podcast series, we first offer some of those essential principles. Then in episode 5 (coming up some time within the next week or so) those pieces of the puzzle are put together to shed light on the remarkable technology involved. If you have not yet listened to episode 1-4, you can catch up by clicking here. I would also suggest listening to the podcast entitled “Adrishtha Apurva”. I believe the process involved will fascinate, surprise and challenge everyone. What follows is a brief description of the upcoming episode 5.
Ancient Secrets Revealed E5: Mystery of the “Enlightened City”
Once all the ancient secrets are known, why do they remain a secret? Does the ancient technology of an “Enlightened City” offer an explanation? When the Vedic architect says no such city exists anywhere in the world, the obvious question is, “Why?” This episode investigates that remarkable mystery, while holding up a mirror to all humanity.
The paradigm with which a person is identified is like a rubberband. With new insights, the paradigm can be stretched, and though the stretching may feel very good, the rubberband-like identity springs right back to where it was. Through the years it has astounded me to witness how adamant people are about their paradigm identities. So many times people have come up to me, after one of my lectures thrilled them, to say they have been looking for those teachings their whole life and that they would never miss another lecture or class. Then they walk out the lecture hall door, snap back into their old paradigm identity, never to be seen again!
Maharishi Patanjali said it so well: The Chit (storehouse of impressions) is as if etched in stone. The resultant paradigm is fixed and inflexible. Yet as one evolves, one becomes more flexible and can align with the paradigm that best serves the moment. To truly embrace the Ancient Secrets of the Masters is to become flexible—to easily embrace other paradigms.
Ancient paradigms involved the principle of mapping in very profound ways. Havans and pPujas are based upon the principle. Ancient technologies apply the principle. Mount Soma is built upon the mapping principle of how a city/community can be constructed in a manner to map onto the country. To heal the country is to build and operate that community.
It has been remarkable to experience how powerful that technology, the mapping, is. To build Mount Soma, we followed the ancient vastu guidelines and anyone at Mount Soma who follows the news can see how powerful that connection is. As Mount Soma flourishes, the country will flourish. This is what the ancients taught and it is what we are in the process of accomplishing.

Everything maps onto everything else. To look out over the night sky is to look out to the entire universe. Yet it revolves around a single point—the pole star (north star). Taking a closer look, the handle of the seven-starred big dipper points to the pole star. As the seasons change, the dipper rotates 360 degrees around the pole star. The dipper’s new position in each of the four seasons creates the swastika shape (and the cross of Christianity) with the center, the pole star, being the heart and soul of the universe. This maps onto (correlates with) the central core of each and every individual.
The Rishi value (the central core, the Knower, you) is the finest fabric of the soul, your essence. The Rishis can be sensed above the head. However, if the relationship with that is not healthy, it can be a terrible distraction. More importantly the Rishi quality can be experienced deep within your being, the soul, the Jiva. The Rishis then, are the laws of nature (Dharma) that are the most refined quality of nature that comprises the Jiva (individual soul). So it is through the Rishis within that the depth of the Self–and through that, God–are known.
Our lives revolve around that one point, the essence of our being, the depth of our soul, the Jiva. Like a two-sided coin, the Jiva is the deepest aspect of our being still in relative existence. The other side of that coin is called the Atman, the (Bindu) point gateway to the Absolute Transcendental Source of all that is, i.e. God. To access the Divine is to know God through the Jiva. That is the meaning of “the kingdom of heaven dwells within.” The totality of existence dwells within you. As said in the Bhagavad Gita, all the Gods dwell within you.
Yet it is the syndrome of humanity that people look outside of themselves to find God. The mapping is that God dwells outside of us, over our heads and above. Though that mapping has validity, it leads so many astray. Such echoes of Truth, perceived as Truth, hold Truth at bay. It becomes an enticing astral level of spirituality. Worship of God then, so easily goes out of balance and becomes a life-consuming, intoxicating distraction. Indeed, the longing for God often reaches outside ourselves. Yet as the Gita and the Bible both say, the kingdom of heaven dwells within.
To find God is to refine and strengthen our experience of the Jiva, the Rishi value, the Self. It is an inward process, not an outward one. It is, of course, fine and feels nurturing, healing, and fantastic to sing the praise of God as outside and above us, but the evolutionary process is in the opposite direction, namely within. Over-emphasis of the outward direction then pulls us away from the God we feel we are reaching toward. To outwardly sing the praises of God on a Sunday afternoon in your church or temple is wonderful and is one thing. To turn it into your daily practice is quite another. God is actually revealed by the Self, to the Self, and through the Self, i.e. the Jiva.
This is why it is taught that we repeat Mantras silently. This directs the awareness to and through the Jiva, the Rishi value. Within the depth of our being, we already are One with God. We already know the Rishis. We can all sense that to some degree, though may say it in different ways. So when a Mantra is repeated silently, even if the pronunciation, rhythm, etc. are not exact, the deep physiology with the Jiva corrects it.
It is said in the Shastras that ten rules of proper pronunciation must be followed to prevent any distortion to be driven into the physiology. In fact, the Vedangas are said to be dedicated to that topic. To sing the praises of God on occasion is beautiful and fine but the actual regular daily practice is to be done silently. Also, it is best to leave the outward recitation to trained Pandits and those raised with proper enunciation. In fact, to hear Westerners try to speak out Sanskrit words can have a coarse feel to it. That is why in the temple, it is best to listen to those whose physiologies and dictions have been cultured from childhood to pronounce Vedic recitations properly. Yet at the same time, reaching outward for God can fill the heart and feel so nurturing and alluring… echoes of Truth holding Truth at bay. The path to God is indeed elusive and subtle, like traversing the razor’s edge, or passing through the eye of the needle.
We see in most every religion the reaching outside of ourselves for the Divine. Some call it being born again. Some call it attaining enlightenment, Bhakti, or Nirvana. Some say through that, God walks with them and talks with them and heals their body, mind, and life. They say they are saved. Unchecked, it hooks, intoxicates, and becomes the source of fanaticism foundational to so many religious practices.
With meditation and the Advanced Techniques, the experience of the Jiva (the Rishi value) is refined and strengthened. It does not promise instant enlightenment. Human evolution is a cultivation, not an detonation. Steady hand on the rudder. Staying on the path with distraction-free rationality is the key. The brain has two aspects… loving heart (Bhakti) and rational mind (Gyana). As illustrated in the Gita, true Bhakti comes once Gyana is solid. Know your Jiva through the Rishi value. Know God through your Jiva. JivoDevaha means the two sides of the one coin: Jiva (the Self, i.e. the Rishi value) and the Atman (Deva, God).
