Bhagiratha, legendary king
of the Ikshvaku dynasty, brought the River Ganges to Earth from the Heavens.
Ganga warned him if she descended from the Sky to the Earth, the force
of her fall would be difficult to sustain.
Ganga required
penance for a thousand
years to obtain favor from the sable blue throated god,
Shiva.
Shiva granted the boon, which led
to descent of the goddess Ganga in the form of the river Ganges, to the earth,
filling the sea, drunk up by Jahnu.
To commemorate his efforts, the head
stream of the Ganga is called Bhagirathi, till it meets Alaknanda River at
Devprayag. |
Dharma models the "higher truth" or
ultimate reality of the noumenon.
The word 'dharma' literally translates as 'that which upholds or supports', and
is generally translated into English
as 'law'.
Dharma is the Eastern
version of Gnosticism.
Dharma,
like Gnosticism, is
the correct
understanding of reality.
Adherence to dharma means
living within the
natural moral order which
reveals a path of proper social conduct upheld by the natural laws of the
universe set in place and sustained by
the Creator and
Sustainer.
Dharma shares much in common
with Taoism.
The
various Indian religions (Hinduism,
Buddhism,
Jainism, Sikhism) have all accorded a central focus to
dharma and advocate its practice.
Each of these religions emphasize
dharma in their teachings.
In these traditions, beings
that live in accordance with dharma proceed more quickly toward Dharma Yukam,
Moksha or Nirvana (true liberation).
Dharma
also refers to the teachings and doctrines of the founders of these traditions,
such as those of Siddhartha Gautama and
Mahavira.
In traditional Hindu
society with its caste structure, dharma constituted the
religious and
moral doctrine of the rights and duties of
each individual.
The antonym of dharma is adharma meaning
unnatural or
immoral. |

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.

This website defines a
new perspective with which
to engage reality to which its author adheres. The author feels that the
falsification of reality outside personal experience has forged a populace
unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has been done
purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their agents who wish
to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race. Religious intolerance
occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religious
beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This web site marks the
founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the Way of the
Lumière Infinie - a rational
gnostic mystery
religion based on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no
tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every
individual is encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and
Sustainer through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing
the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The
Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their
religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site
in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the
violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels
desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already
controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global
industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse
of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of
global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation
does not occur at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values
have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international
cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to
deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional
buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior mass
media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction of the
family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to the
corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction and
coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been
directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that
further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
