"The Yogic knows that his mind must change, not the world. Once the Spirit has been freed, changing the world will be meaningless." Guru Yogi Gauda (1266 BC - 1168 BC) according to the Dravidian Aaiyyanist tradition.
This stanza tells us that you need to change yourself before you can try to change the world - and if you did change yourself the outer physical state of the world would become irrelevant as you would have freed yourself from this material plane of existence.
"Do not strive to live in this world, for everything material you own can be taken away from you. Strive to live in the spiritual domain and join us in our Aaiyyanist retreat, for we will never leave you no matter what the circumstances you find yourself in." - Guru Mena Sarasvata (1320 BC - 1231 BC)
Everything you own can and will be taken from you - either when you die or before that. You have no possessions except your soul and body. Do not hanker for material things as they are irrelevant on this journey of your soul. For thousands of years many Aaiyyanists decide to leave the material world behind and join the many Aaiyyanist Schools, Retreats, Ashrams and Guilds. There they will find true happiness, away from mainstream society - and in the company of many wondrous people who are in touch with their spiritual side.
"The person who tells you how to be good is usually a person with a corrupt Atman (soul). A person who does good deeds but does not tell you - his Atman is pure." - Guru Bhimashankar Dattatriya (1543 BC - 1462 BC) according to Dravidian Aaiyyanist Tradition.
This stanza stresses the importance of humility and not allowing your ego to dictate to others. A truly good person is one who does good deeds. The Aaiyyanist historians and philosophers of the past know that people who try to tell other how to live - are usually corrupted individuals with tainted souls and all they can do is try to control your actions by lecturing and punishing if you do not comply.
"The truth does not come from dogma, religion or ritual. It begins from Atman." - Guru Mena Sarasvata (1320 BC - 1231 BC) according to the Dravidian Aaiyyanist tradition.
This quote engages us in the never ending battle between organised religion and the freedom of the individual soul. This battle has been going on since the dawn of time and only the spiritually adept can master the truth of the soul against the external influences of the state.
"In the ancient times before the spread of Aaiyyanism, to win, someone had to lose. In the new reality: 'to win' means everyone wins." - Guru Vitachinta Dwivedi (1490 BC -1401 BC) according to Aaiyyanist tradition.
During the golden age of Aaiyyanist teaching and doctrine - it was said in the narrated history (30 thousand years ago) that at one short period of time society was corrupted. The people were competitive in every aspect of their life and would vie to beat each other in every part of life. However, this was not a friendly competition but a society where people simply cared for themselves. In order to better yourselves the prevailing thought was that you should gain something over someone else. For example, shopkeepers would inflate their prices to maximise profit. Workers would work half the time to cheat their employers. Students would cheat in their exams to do better than their fellow students. Everyone would talk behind each others back and the society was fragmented. One time during a vicious drought one of the incarnations of Aaiyyan came down as a poor farmer Lavalian. The drought was so bad that everyone had turned on each other more than before. People fought over food and water and the society was imploding and was almost ready to be destroyed. Lavalian did not despair but tilled his land and others without discrimination. He sold his food at low prices or for nothing and helped everyone he met. In turn the ones that were helped by Lavalian helped their friends and neighbours until eventually the society was reborn - and that is the teaching of this story. In the real reality you do not have to beat your fellow man for you to get ahead. By uplifting everyone we all become winners and ultimately at one with each other and Brahman.
"To reach the new land one must cross the sea. If you wish to remain safe, then remain in your home as a child." - Guru Konavadin Prajapati (929 BC - 843 BC) according to Dravidian Aaiyyanist tradition.
This quote from Guru Prajapati tells us that in order for us to find new ideas and knowledge we must strive for it and seek the unknown and perhaps the dangerous. If we want to lead a sedentary life then we should stay as we are - but we will never grow as a person.
"The unrefined mind sees the ill in everything. They are constant to criticize and bemoan as an act of control. They will try to control you via their negativity if you let them. One must transcend all by immersing oneself in the positive. Everyone is on a journey but some are closer to the end than others but you must not allow yourself to go backwards on the journey." - Guru Odayan (1910 AD) according to Dravidian Aaiyyanist tradition.
This quote by Guru Odayan stresses the importance of living in the positive and not allowing negative thoughts and people drag you down to their level. You will see these people in all walks of life. They will try to control you and criticize whatever you do. You are the Supreme Personality of Godhead and must transcend all ill will and live in the light. Do not hate the negative people but love them and try to teach them the true path of Hindu Aaiyyanism. This learning can be done via your good deeds.
"Desire and wish for nothing - then everything you get will be a blessing from Brahman." - Guru Dravida Karnataka (1066 BC - 970 BC)
The true Aaiyyanist Hindu does not wish for any material or physical goods or pleasures. They are fully immersed in the spiritual domain. Having said that, if you do wish for nothing - even the slightest gift or kind word will be as bountiful as the richest treasure.
"You are a unique individual. For billions of years in this Universe there has never been anyone like you and there will never be anyone like you from now to eternity. Do not try to copy anyone else as you will do a disservice to your uniqueness." - Guru Konavadin Prajapati (929 BC - 843 BC) according to Dravidian Aaiyyanist tradition.
This quote tells us that our individual part of Brahman is unique in the many infinite Universes that exist. Your Atman is part of a greater whole but it is still a unique part of the whole. Do not try to emulate people, though you can learn from others and share. You must be true to your own nature as that is what the Universe has designated for you. Your individualism is part of the whole of eternity and you have been created for a reason. You may not know why your uniqueness is as it is, but trust us when we say that you are meant to be you for a greater purpose.
"The secret to fully living, is to have no fear of tomorrow. Brahman was here yesterday, now and tomorrow and your soul/Atman also exists in all time-lines. How can you fear what is your destiny." - Guru Vithi Telgu (1134 BC - 1042 BC)
This quote essentially tells us the great spiritual truth from all traditions: i.e. to exist in 'the now' and not worry about the perceived past or imagined future. In Aaiyyanism our soul exists beyond time so there is nothing to worry about in the past or future as this is how we are supposed to exist in this realm. We are all part of the Universal OM so our path is part of the greater picture of what must happen. Do not fight it.
"Allow Brahman to be with you or abandon you. You are One and also you are the void" - Attributed to Aaiyyan - The Twelve Rings of Aaiyyan.
This stanza by Aaiyyan tells us that we should not strive to be One with Brahman zealously. We should allow Brahman to enter our lives naturally. If you force yourself and others into the zeal of Brahmanism/Aaiyyanism then you will be abandoned and exist in the void of your own making. This void is also a part of Brahman so your actions will give you what you want. This is why it is forbidden to mention that you are an Aaiyyanist as it is an act of religious zealotry and egotism. We understand the paradox of writing this text as you must assume that the authors are declaring themselves as Aaiyyanists to the outside world. We will state it bluntly: yes we are Aaiyyanists but we are not perfect Aaiyyanists - we are absolutely imperfect and have entered that state of being that is close but not totally in the void. We are abandoned but do not allow yourselves to enter into that same state.
"Each new day offers new ways to connect with the inner you and the outer world. Use each day as if it is your last." - Guru Bhimashankar Dattatriya (1543 BC - 1462 BC) according to Dravidian Aaiyyanist Tradition.
Every day is an opportunity to become one with Brahman and also to aid your fellow beings in the wider world. If you treat every day as your last then you will strive to help as many people as you can and also strive to achieve oneness with all. If you think you will live in your human form forever, then there is no time limit to achieve the greater goals. We only have a limited time on this planet compared to the lifetime of our soul form. Use this time wisely before you move onto the next stage of your development.
"The pure Aaiyyanist can neither condone nor condemn - we can only love." - Attributed to Aaiyyan - The Twelve Rings of Aaiyyan.
The Hindu Aaiyyanist cannot condemn nor condone any actions other people carry out. We are all one. We cannot judge people as we have not walked their path, lived their life and suffered all the ills that they have. As we are one, we can only accept people. This Universe is made up of many different elements and all of that add up to make the whole Universe. There is a reason people of different souls exist. The reason is that from the imperfection of the multitude there can be a spark that transcends the perfection. One of the beings you judge might be that spark that uplifts us all.
"It is more important to be the Sun than to exist without it" - Guru Bhimashankar Dattatriya (1543 BC-1462 BC) according to Dravidian Tradition.
This quote stresses the importance of the Aaiyyanist Hindu Yogic Practise of transformation, i.e. transforming the inner being into a state of super consciousness that can transcend itself and humanity. It is more important to become the living embodiment of Godhead than to live in a world created from your own mindset where there is no supreme consciousness and everything is part of the material plane.
"Reading the Aaiyyanist scriptures gives you knowledge. Writing about the scriptures gives you understanding. If you want to master the scriptures - take a disciple and teach them to read first, write next and then finally teach yourself." - Guru Modanatha Dravidas Mahavashtriyan (1193 BC - 1106 BC) according to the Dravidian Aaiyyanist Tradition.
This quote from the correspondence of the indigenous Guru Mahavashtriyan details the path of Aaiyyanist Master. The path is circular - from Student to Master who then takes on Students who then teach the Master. Aaiyyanism is a vocational practise so the discourse back and forth between Master and Student and Master lends itself to a full understanding of this Universe we exist in and the many Universes we do not inhabit. There is no ego in Aaiyyanism or hierarchy. The Master treats the Student as equals and vice versa.
"The soul who has no knowledge can be taught, the soul who has no profession can be taken as an apprentice and learn a skill, the soul who has no freedom can be freed. However, the soul who has no empathy has nothing. You must treasure your feelings for your fellow souls as it can be taken away from you without you realising it. All the knowledge, skills and freedom you acquire will amount to nothing if you are trapped in hatred." - Guru Konavadin Prajapati (929 BC - 843 BC) according to Dravidian Aaiyyanist tradition.
People should guard against giving into hatred and allowing their prejudices to separate them from their fellow humans. Your love for humanity can be taken away by dark external forces so you must be vigilant. If you allow yourself to give into hatred you will remain trapped in your own shell for the end of your days and future lives.
"When you look at yourself - do you see love or hate? I see nothing and everything" - Attributed to Aaiyyan - The Twelve Rings of Aaiyyan.
One must dispel with the ego self if you want to truly give yourself over to Hindu Aaiyyanism. One must leave the small emotions of love and hate and transcend all emotions to become One with Brahman - in a state of 'Pure Love' that is nothing like the human experience of love. In this state you actually experience everything and nothing simultaneously. You will be detached from the mortal emotions and know everything and be nothing all at once.
"There is no difference between Man, Woman and Hijra. We are all Brahman" - Guru Bhimashankar Dattatriya (1543 BC - 1462 BC) according to Dravidian Aaiyyanist Tradition.
This stanza tells us that we are all one with Brahman, whether you are a man, woman, transgender (Hijra), or no gender. Aaiyyanists have always, since the inception of time not distinguished between gender and gender preference. Many of our most revered Gurus were woman, transgender, or non determined. The Aaiyyanist tradition welcomes all peoples of all orientations because we are one with Brahman. All aspects of Brahman must be respected and celebrated.
"By fighting and struggling against oppression and injustice, you will gain innumerable strength that you will take to your numerous incarnations. So have no fear of death." - Swami Aadhavan founder of the MaunaM school (1994).
Swami Aadhavan impart on us the importance of fighting against oppression and injustice of any kind. As a Hindu Aaiyyanist it is our duty to fight poverty, fight for individual freedom, fight for the rights of the oppressed, fight for rights for anyone to express their consensual love for whoever they wish, fight for the right for people to identify with any gender or race. The Aaiyyanist believes in true freedom and believe in the right to fight (peacefully) for all just causes. The Aaiyyanist Hindus are absolutely non-violent and believe in peaceful protest, prayers and love to achieve the greater good.
"The Hindu Aaiyyanist, at one with Brahman can become the wind. All other people on the sea can sail on that wind. If you cannot become the wind at least use the sail to get to your home." - Guru Asha Saptrishi (877 BC - 778 BC) according to Dravidian Aaiyyanist Tradition.
This quote tells us that people are on various stages of their spiritual development. Some people are high level Aaiyyanists at one with Brahman. Many others are not, but they can still use the knowledge of the masters to move easily to the final endpoint of enlightenment.
"The purist Aatmaani Aaiyyanist has the inner power to develop themselves to the highest plane. To surpass all and enter into that Yogic state of pure consciousness and light. The Abhichaara-Tantric Aaiyyanists seek utter and absolute complete self-destruction a merging of the ego self with Siva. Whichever path you choose or has been chosen for you - accept it and strive for the absolute: Absolute pure consciousness and light or absolute destruction and the void." - Guru Hotriya Upadhyaya (1435 BC - 1343 BC) according to Dravidian Aaiyyanist Tradition.
Whichever path you choose - the right hand path of Aaiyyanist Hinduism of the Left Hand Tantric Path - choose it totally and allow yourself to become what you seek. The Aaiyyanist cannot condemn nor condone any path or act that anyone engages in. It is not our place as Aaiyyanists - we can simply only love. If your soul connects with light or darkness that is yours and the Universes choice and we all need to respect that and allow you to find your own freedom. The freedom to be yourself.
"If you embrace love you will become love. If you embrace hate you will become hate. Pure Atmans (souls) both human and non-human are drawn to love. Impure spirits are drawn to hate. If you revel in negativity so will negative things happen to you. If you wish to live in the glow of positive energy - you must love." - Guru Bhimashankar Dattatriya (1543 BC - 1462 BC) according to Dravidian Tradition.
Guru Dattatriya teaches us to always love and never hate. Tantric Aaiyyanists embrace their dark-side in order to destroy the ego self in an absolute unification with Siva. Other schools of Aaiyyanists embrace love to become one with Brahman. The path you choose will determine your outcome - the Aaiyyanist cannot condone nor condemn other peoples choices, but we must understand that if we walk the path of darkness - so shall dark things happens to us.
"You must never say 'I cannot do it'. Never limit yourself by self-doubt. Absolutely anything can be achieved if you focus your mind correctly. Anyone can do anything if they have the will." - Guru Hotriya Upadhyaya (1435 BC - 1343 BC) according to Dravidian Aaiyyanist Tradition.
The Hindu Aaiyyanists throughout history have been polymaths, i.e. they always strive to do everything in their life well and master all disciplines. From art, music, philosophy and science, nothing is untouchable. The Aaiyyanist doctrine has always been to try new things and experience new ideas. To become one with everything you must experience everything. This is the essence of Tantric Hindu Aaiyyanism.
"If you love the Universe OM, Brahman and his many creations you must also love yourself. The best way to do that is to keep your body, mind and soul healthy by practising the ancient arts of Aaiyyanist Yoga, Ayurveda and the Aaiyyanist Sattvic diet" - Guru Vitachinta Dwivedi (1490 BC - 1401 BC) according to Dravidian Aaiyyanist Tradition.
If you love Brahman (our creator and the creator of all the God, Demi-Gods, Asuras, Demons, Planets, Stars, dimensions, planes, Talas and Lokas), you must treat the creation with respect. This includes and starts with your own body. Keep your mind, spirit and body clean of toxins. Drink clean water, eat the correct food, take the time to perform the Aaiyyanist meditations and use you mind to gain knowledge from the ancient and new texts.
"As you achieve pure silence of being - so shall you then hear the faint splash of rain on the mountain top." Guru Vitachinta Dwivedi (1490 BC -1401 BC) according to the Dravidian Tradition.
This quote from Guru Dwivedi stresses the importance of following the Hindu practise of Kamek meditation (a Dravidian Aaiyyanist variation of Rama Yoga) to achieve a state of total silence of the mind. When you achieve this state you will be able to finally begin to hear the question that Brahman is asking. It is not the answer that is important... but the question.
"You may have the illusion that you are alone. Even if you are in the darkest dungeon or the deepest forest - you are still linked to every living thing on this world. Your breath feeds the world around you and the world and all its living beings feed you." - Guru Jagadhguru Kanyakubja (1373 BC - 1288 BC) according to Dravidian Aaiyyanist Tradition.
Remember that you are part of the greater whole. Even if you perceive to be alone you are not. There are entities, both seen and unseen that stay with you. There are the Gods that watch over you and then is Brahman that is part of you. You are not alone. Even your breath - the act of breathing - feeds nutrients into the world around you. Your soul emanates light that all souls and beings in the Universes can see, even if you do not have the Aaiyyanist Yogic skill to see it yet.
"You are one with everyone so act as one. It is your duty to look after the weak, lame and homeless as you will be that also, either at the end of your life or the start of the next one." - Attributed to Aaiyyan - The Twelve Rings of Aaiyyan.
Our life is transient. We start with nothing and we will leave with nothing and this is repeated in timeless amounts until we really become one with everyone. To become one we must look after all aspects of life. As a baby we cannot walk, talk or find shelter without aid. Likewise, all the souls you meet on your journey are as children to the spiritually adept Aaiyyanist, and thus you must feed, clothe and look after the ones that need your help and are crying out for it. You must do this to truly become one with Brahman.
"Open your mind to the possibilities of oneness. If you have a deeply held thought - disregard it and think the opposite. If you can begin to express all thoughts and identities - then you are on your journey to oneness." - Attributed to Aaiyyan - The Twelve Rings of Aaiyyan.
This stanza from the Twelve Rings of Aaiyyan stresses the importance of empathy if you truly want to become one with Brahman. If you can imagine all viewpoints and all ideas and hold them to be true visions of the world and also false ones, then you are one step closer to becoming one with everyone. The Aaiyyanists train themselves to understand all viewpoints and ideas, no matter how horrid or strange. Once they master this ancient Aaiyyanist thought Yoga, they will then begin to see everyone as part of the greater whole. As part of The One.
"Birth is the end and death is the beginning." - Attributed to Aaiyyan - The Twelve Rings of Aaiyyan.
The Aaiyyanist believe your projected soul enters into a baby and you think it the start... No it is in fact the end. This life that you are living (according to Aaiyyanist tradition) is a test of the projected soul and how they perform in this plane of reality. The wiser the soul and the more Karmic debt they want to pay the more harsh their life, but this is by design and agreed upon by the host soul before they choose their body/life and are reborn. Of course some souls are not fully trained in this discipline and when they die rush quickly into the next host. More enlightened souls are presented with 'the test' and may choose to live that life accordingly in order to correct past mistakes from previous existences.
Remember, for the enlightened souls that are reading this message, you know this truth already. All the people you have met in this life (especially the ones closest to you) you have already met in your previous lives - you know this deep down. You are just part of a Karmic journey that you must undergo to cleanse your cosmic record and finally become One with Brahman.
"Once you begin on the journey to Brahman you will become an elder. Accepting Brahman in your life allows you to be reborn and allow you the will to die" - Guru Jagadhguru Kanyakubja (1373 BC - 1288 BC)
When you accept Aaiyyanist Hinduism and begin your journey to oneness, you will be classed as 'An Elder'. Many people will be drawn to your Brahmanic energy as you increase your levels in the Aaiyyanist way. You will find your services being called by many lay people who you meet on this journey of life. The journey to Brahman will allow you to be reborn in a metaphysical sense but it will also give you the knowledge and the will to allow yourself to die knowing that you will be one step further on your journey to Oneness.
"The Hindu has two choices, two paths. The first path is the one taken by everyone: it is familiar and holds no worries or surprises. You know where you will go when you go down this path. You will be born, marry, have children, grow old and then die and then be reborn and the cycle will continue on forever if you wish. Or you could take the other path - the one that will transform you." - Guru Tikshnapriya Sarasvata (1000 BC - 911 BC) according to Dravidian Aaiyyanist Tradition.
If you want to achieve salvation - do not act like everyone else. Do not follow the rules laid out by society and blindly act out all the things that the community wishes you should do. Instead embrace Hindu Aaiyyanism and allow it to take you on a journey; to places seldom visited and to places in the mind that will teach you something new.
"You can change the Universe around you by simply changing your perception of the Universe. This plane of existence can be good or evil, beautiful or ugly - it can be whatever your mind wills it to be." - Guru Tikshnapriya Sarasvata (1000 BC - 911 BC) according to Dravidian Aaiyyanist Tradition.
Our outer reality is framed by our perception of it. You may have all the wealth in the world but hate your existence and be worried for the future. You could be alone in the forest eating berries and fruit and sleep on the forest bed, but you may be the happiest human of all with no possessions, just the Aaiyyanist knowledge of the ancients to comfort you. The outer reality can always be changed by the inner reality dictated by our mind and soul.
"What you believed as a child is past, only children mourn when we die - we are eternal" - Guru Jagadhguru Kanyakubja (1373 BC - 1288 BC) according to Dravidian Aaiyyanist Tradition.
The Hindu Aaiyyanist is a being that has grown physically, spiritually and philosophically. As we have mastered all the arts of Aaiyyanist Yoga, Mantra and Ritual we now fully understand why we are here and why we need to grow more. Part of that growth is to depart from this plane and re-project our souls into new lifeforms throughout the universe to truly grasp the 'everything and nothing' of it all. Thus, the fully grown Aaiyyanist does not mourn when we die but feels upliftment, curiosity and wonder as the many beings we know take the next steps in the journey.
"If there is a mountain blocking your path, focus your mind using the Dravidic Jnana Yogic techniques and create a tunnel. If you cannot create the tunnel then use Bhakti Yoga to ascend the mountain." - Guru Yogi Gauda (1266 BC - 1168 BC) according to Dravidian Aaiyyanist Tradition.
There are many ways to reach enlightenment. You can use the Yoga of Knowledge (Jnana Yoga), or the devotional Yoga: Bhakti. In fact there are numerous other forms Yoga and practise that can achieve the end goal. This life is like a mountain that we have to cross. There are many hurdles and impediments that may block your path. Depending on your essence you can choose the Yogic technique that suits your temperament, but please choose and allow yourself to leave the mountain behind.
"A truly spiritual being can never feel despair - even if they are locked in the deepest dungeon and hidden from the light - the Yogic mind can travel to places seen and unseen." - Guru Konavadin Prajapati (929 BC - 843 BC)
Guru Prajapati tells the Hindu Yogic adept that despair is a state of being and is irrelevant to the physical being of the person. If you are homeless, starving, incarcerated or dying in hospital - the Aaiyyanist Yogic techniques can liberate the mind and allow you to travel to those places that are hidden to the non Yogic but are so very close. By stilling the mind one can then train it to see the doorways to other planes of existence both positive and negative (Lokas and Talas). The Aaiyyanist Yogic can then uses these doorways to travel to other planes and interact and exist in those ones. The physical body may be trapped but the mind can the ability to free itself from the shackles of this Universe.
"The greatest rituals can lift you from the darkest places that your mind and physical surroundings can offer. If that ritual is performed by a multitude, then your upliftment will be to the highest planes." - Guru Konavadin Prajapati (929 BC - 843 BC) according to Dravidian Aaiyyanist tradition.
This quote tells us what Aaiyyanist have known for thousands of year. That ritual prayer can uplift someone's spirit and if that is done in the company of numerous Aaiyyanists then the result is amplified for the end recipient. If you keep praying for lots of people in the company of many High Hindu Aaiyyanists than the result is unanimous harmony and the upliftment of the whole planet to the highest planes. Thus, it is the duty of all Aaiyyanists to help, pray and heal their fellow humans as that act of love can raise us all.
"You are not perfect. The Universe is not perfect, I am not perfect. Together in our imperfections we may find a greater perfection that transcends us all." - Attributed to Aaiyyan - The Twelve Rings of Aaiyyan.
In Aaiyyanist doctrine, the reason that there are imperfections in this Universe is that to transcend perfection. Brahman has willed it thus. A small ripple in a perfect sphere can describe a new shape and possibilities that was previously unseen. You cannot perfect the perfected, but imperfections in the perfected can point out a deeper truth that can transcend us and ultimately Brahman.
"Stop talking as no one can hear you, start meditating and you will hear everything." - Guru Yogi Gauda (1266 BC - 1168 BC) according to Dravidian Aaiyyanist Tradition.
As an Aaiyyanist your spiritual link to Brahman will be very strong. If you speak however, you may not be heard as many people are still in the dark and do not truly see the absolute reality. However, do not think that your Aaiyyanist knowledge makes you one with Brahman. By speaking and explaining you may help some people but many will ignore you. By meditating and silencing your mind via the Aaiyyanist Yogic techniques you can start to begin to understand how the Universe and Brahman works. This silence will allow you to hear everything. Once you can hear it all, then you can start to preach, but do not be surprised if no one listens as the number of beings that grasp Aaiyyanism in this plane of reality is very small indeed.
"In a world of darkness, the spiritually enlightened Hindu Aaiyyanist is a beacon of light. You will attract many followers once you embrace the truth, as all humans are drawn to the truth." - Guru Yogi Gauda (1266 BC - 1168 BC) according to Dravidian Aaiyyanist Tradition.
Humans are drawn to hearing the truth. They are attracted to it both consciously and subconsciously. This is living proof that we are spiritual beings and want to know how the Universe works. When the Hindu Aaiyyanists preach to their followers, a veil is lifted from the minds of man and the souls suddenly realises that they are living in a world of darkness and illusion and the true reality of light was right in front of them all along.
"Exist in the plane of reality - but do not allow it to pollute you. You must be the stone and the cleansing stream." Guru Tikshnapriya Sarasvata (1000 BC - 911 BC)
This quote simply states the fact that the Hindu Aaiyyanist exists in the physical world with all its suffering and imperfections, but must not allow those imperfections to pollute the soul (Atman) or allow it to cause despair. The Hindu Aaiyyanism Atman (Soul) is solid like a stone and unbending - but it also has the power to clean the whole Universe if it wished to. The Atman is the cleansing stream that can dispel all negativity and spiritual pollution as it is already One with Brahman.
"Your friends and family may judge you from your actions. The Aaiyyanist transcends family and judges no one. If you become one with Hindu Aaiyyanism - all doors will be open to you and you will be renewed." - Guru Tikshnapriya Sarasvata (1000 BC - 911 BC) according to Dravidian Aaiyyanist Tradition.
Once you have become a Hindu Aaiyyanist all Aaiyyanists will become your family. In fact they will be closer than your family. The Aaiyyanists are forbidden to condemn nor condone anyone's actions in this life or their past lives. Generally mainstream families of friends can disown you if they judge your actions to be not of their liking. The Aaiyyanist transcends all judgements and can simply only love. An Aaiyyanist will never be homeless or starving as all Aaiyyanist doors are open to them. They have a worldwide family. This is the Aaiyyanist embodiment of being one with everyone and respecting all soul-forms. Who are we to judge anyone as we are all part of the Universal Whole.
"The planet is an egg that feeds and nourishes us, so do not waste the egg. However, our true destiny is to transcend the egg and populate the planes and many universes both outer and inner." - Attributed to Aaiyyan - The Twelve Rings of Aaiyyan.
This stanza tells us the importance of looking after our planet and not wasting its resources. However, according to Aaiyyan the true destiny of humanity is to leave this world either by transcendence, by meditating, by astral projection or by achieving oneness. We can merge with the outer universe or the inner one but both are ultimately the same.
"Trust in Brahman's universal map - for you and we are part of it, even if we do not know the destination" - Guru Teligian (1433 BC) and contemporary of Guru Hotriya Upadhyaya.
This is a famous quote from The transgender Hijra Guru Teligian. It espouses the virtues of having faith in the Universal Path that we and others are part of. We are all ONE so the path we are on is part of a greater whole. We may not see the destination but have faith that the journey will lead you somewhere. A place that might surprise you if you allow it to.
"You cannot swim in the ocean if you only stand in the puddles. To cross over to the other side you must learn and then practise and then master the Hindu Aaiyyanist Arts." - Guru Modanatha Dravidas Mahavashtriyan (1193 BC - 1106 BC) according to Dravidian Aaiyyanist tradition.
The quote tells us the importance of learning the ancient scriptures and putting them into practise. In order to expand our mind and cross over from the material to the spiritual side one cannot just exist in the material - one must venture out by first learning the truth and then applying it.
"If someone loves you they will never raise their voice to you, they will never harm you physically or mentally, they will never hold a bad thought about you no matter what you do. I truly love you as I am the closest to Brahman. Other powerful beings/Gods may chastise you or punish you for your misdeeds. They are not one with Brahman so forgive them." - Attributed to Aaiyyan - The Twelve Rings of Aaiyyan.
Aaiyyan is a fragment of Brahman. He is close to Oneness but as an incarnation of Siva is a part of a whole. Aaiyyan knows that there are many other Gods or aspects of God in this Universe, all with competing ideas and ideals. There are also many beings of different faiths, philosophies and actions. The Aaiyyanist welcomes them all as there are many paths to the truth and to the whole.
The true being that is closest to Oneness with Brahman will never chastise you or raise their voice against you as they understand the many facets of this Universe. The Aaiyyanist know this and cite many examples of this in other faiths where one God will say one thing but the same one will say something different. For example the Three Gods represented in the Old, New and Final Testaments in the Middle Eastern religions. The many aspects of Gods in the Hindu, Buddhist and Jain traditions. The spiritual beings described by the Animists and Pagans. All these point to one truth which as Aaiyyanists we must all love.
"When you think, when you dream, when you imagine - you will become that which your mind perceives. The mind is all powerful, but I will show you how to train it to become supreme." - Guru Jagadhguru Kanyakubja (1373 BC - 1288 BC)
Guru Kanyakubja was one to the founders and experts in Aaiyyanist Mind Yogic techniques especially that of the S'uunya School. His teachings to this day have aided and transformed the lives of many Aaiyyanist Hindus and non Hindus. This quote tells us how the world perceived by our mind is what we will become - but we can liberate ourself from this by transforming the mind via Aaiyyanist Yogic meditation. So that we change the mind's perceived world and our inner self simultaneously.
"In order to create the better world, one must give up everything now, so that our descendants and our reincarnated selves can gain all in the distant future." - Guru Jagadhguru Kanyakubja (1373 BC - 1288 BC) according to Dravidian Aaiyyanist Tradition.
Guru Kanyakubja stresses the importance of the fleeting existence of our life in this plane. We will live for 80 years or so, 20 years of which we will spend growing up and learning, 10 years in the latter stages of life we will spend meditating and wandering as a Sannyasin. So we only have 50 years to try to create the better world. This is not enough time to transform the planet - so we must give up everything now - all acts that may pollute the planet, all acts that harm our fellow man, all acts that create division and war, all acts that separate people from each other. If we relinquish our hold onto the material - and keep doing this in our many reincarnations. Then eventually all humans will become one and the world will transform. This is a question of time and humanity is slowly growing to a stage where in the distant future we will live in the Hindu Aaiyyanist utopia of oneness.
"Do not worship me, worship yourself. I am merely the messenger, you are the God." - Attributed to Aaiyyan - The Twelve Rings of Aaiyyan.
Aaiyyan is telling us, his followers that we should not believe that we are lesser than God, Siva, Brahman, The Universe. We are actually part of the whole. We are Brahman, we are the Universe. We are The One. How can we worship the messenger (Aaiyyan) when we are in fact Aaiyyan. Remember, the message and the messenger are One. The answer is the question.
"Everything and nothing is designed to test our faith in Brahman" - Guru Vitachinta Dwivedi (1490 BC - 1401 BC) according to Dravidian Aaiyyanist Tradition.
Science, religion, philosophy and art and all the illusions of human knowledge have been created to confuse and test our abilities as a Hindu Aaiyyanist. What we mean by this is that: what we think we know and what the reality truly is are different and the same. All knowledge and knowledge of nothing has been prepared for us by Brahman in order to make us think and simultaneously clear our mind. In order to become one with Brahman and have the belief in the higher one must study all things and then forget them as this thin shell of perceived knowledge is just the surface of the greater truth. By knowing about the surface and then knowing that it is meaningless we are in fact breaking though and traversing through the depths of the ocean of living Oneness.
"Meditation on Brahman is the most important thought you will create" - Guru Hotriya Upadhyaya (1435 BC - 1343 BC) according to the Dravidian Aaiyyanist Tradition
This is a quote from one of the most famous Dravidian Hindu Aaiyyanist sages of the 14th century BC. The Guru stresses the importance of pure Yogic meditation on the Universal Creator Brahman and to understand the creative process of the mind is just as important as the creation of this Universe and the multitude of Universes around us.
"Without Hindu Aaiyyanist thought and theory, there can be no practise and thus no enlightenment."- Guru Hotriya Upadhyaya (1435 BC - 1343 BC) according to Dravidian Aaiyyanist Tradition.
This quote stresses the importance of studying the Vedic and Aaiyyanist scriptures and then putting what you have learnt into practise. If you do not practise what you have learnt then you can never truly achieve oneness with Brahman. By using what you have read in day to day life - the act of 'doing' superimposes onto your subconscious 'the truth'.
"You cannot grow the tree by eating the seed. Everything important that you will achieve in this life takes will, patience and above all... time." - Guru Jagadhguru Kanyakubja (1373 BC - 1288 BC) according to Dravidian Aaiyyanist Tradition.
Patience is one on the many virtues that a Hindu Aaiyyanist must possess. Everything you strive for will not be handed to you but must be fought for. Above all you need to be patience and allow the echoes of time to resonate around you before you will see the end goal in sight.
"When your consciousness is raised - everyone's consciousness is raised" - Guru Hotriya Upadhyaya (1435 BC - 1343 BC) according to Aaiyyanist tradition.
By raising your own consciousness, Aaiyyanist's have found that other people in their vicinity have their consciousness raised. When you have a group of people on the same higher wavelength you can feel the collective spiritual will of the group being raised. This is like a feedback mechanism - as your spirituality is raised then so are your fellow friends and family, which in turn then raises your spiritual levels. A ripple effect occurs as people close to your family and friends consciousness are also raised and the process continues on. So train your mind and spirit in the Yogic arts and allow your love to uplift everyone around you.
"Aaiyyanism, Dvaita, Visishtadvaita and Advaita are one. How can you understand The Universe if you do not comprehend the sum of the whole. Without knowing 'The Whole' you can never truly become Whole" - Guru Asha Saptrishi (877 BC - 778 BC) according to the Dravidian Aaiyyanist Tradition.
This stanza tells us that as Jnana Yoga Masters we must understand all of the schools of Hindu thought in order to understand our own liberational experience. If we cannot follow the basic concepts of reality, how can we transcend reality and become whole with Brahman.
"The smallest kind act, no matter how insignificant will grant you a small step towards your liberation - no act of kindness is lost to time." - Guru Bhimashankar Dattatriya (1543 BC - 1462 BC) according to Dravidian Aaiyyanist Tradition.
In order to become one with everyone you must aid them as you would aid yourself. You cannot reach liberation if you are separate from your fellow man. In Hindu Aaiyyanist tradition this means selfless service to all who need it. Pure Aaiyyanist Hindus have no possessions but an example in everyday life is that we will always feed, clothe and give shelter to the homeless regardless of our own material wealth.
