THE ULTIMATE WEAPON
According to the Veda, the "blessed Lord Hara" with the Goddess Uma
flew down upon Arjuna, weapons blazing.
Others were with him, in particular Muka,
who sounds very much like Set as he takes on his form as a boar
which always seemed to be the shape of his particular warship, but
of course this need not be him if they were all using such crafts.
Arjuna said as he took "up his bow Gandiva
and arrows, which were
like poisonous snakes, stringing his fine bow and twanging the
bowstring.
"Since you seek to kill me who have come here innocently,
I shall be the first to send you to Yama's realm.'' 1
He knocked one
of the ships of Muka's out of the air but it resumed flight again.
The fight resumed but there was no contest as their weapons were
evenly matched as usual on the mountain where "the thirty Gods
meet."
This lord who fought Arjuna held the trident staff, always a
hallmark of the Anunnaki. The contest went on, but still no match.
The two then faced one another on the mountaintop.
Arjuna, sword in
hand, attacked him but the latter deflected it and the two fought
hand to hand.
"The powerful Partha, belching smoke from his mouth,
struck blows of the invincible mountain man with fists that impacted
like thunderbolts.
The blessed Lord in his aspect of a mountain man
then struck Phalguna with fists that were tike Sakra's bolts, and a
ghastly crackling sound rose from the fists of the embattled Pandava
and the mountain man.
The hair-raising grand battle went an for a
while with hard striking arms, as that battle of yore between Vitro
and Indro. The powerful Jisnu seized the mountain man by the chest,
and the other struck his wrestling foe with great force. From the
grinding press of the arms and the rubbing of their chests a fire
with embers and smoke blazed up in their limbs.
Finally the Great
God got a good grip on Arjuna and assaulted him mightily and
furiously, stunning him out of his wits. And so, Phalguna. looking
like a ball of flesh with his limbs mangled by the God of Gods.
O Bharata, lost control of his body. Subdued by the great-spirited
God, his breathings slopped and he fell down unconscious.
And Bhava
was pleased."
The following Veda version is clearly out of the Bible
rendition, or should I say the other way around, and the God praises
him for his job even though Arjuna came out the worst.
"The Blessed Lord said, Bhah, Bhah. Phalguna, I am pleased
with your peerless
deed, your gallantry and endurance. There is no baran like you! Your
splendor and mine, and our might, have been matched today, prince
sans blame.
I am pleased with you, strong-armed bull among men, set
eyes on me! I shall give you eyesight, wide-eyed hero! You have been
a seer before, now you shall defeat all your enemies, may they be
celestial!"
Arjuna then begs forgiveness for fighting with him not
knowing who he was just as Jacob in the Bible.
Gen. 32:24-32 from
the Bible, is again, just a blending of God's wrenching Jacob's acetabulum and this Veda fight of a God and Arjuna.
"Wearer of
shells, lord of all creatures, who look Bhaga's eyes, pray,
Hail-bringer, forgive my offense. I have come to this great mountain
desirous lo see you, to this mountain that is your favorite, O lard
of the Gods, the superb abode of ascetics.
I beseech you, lord who
are honored by all the creatures, let there be no guilt for me,
Great God, from my wanton violence. Samkara, I throw myself on your
mercy; forgive me for fighting you in ignorance!"
But as in the
Bible, why would a God try to kill him if he were a friend or
relative?
The text goes on that Arjuna wishes to have the,
"dreadful Pasupota weapon, 'which' is called Brahmin's head, gruesome, of
terrible power, which at the horrible end of the Eon will destroy
the entire world.
With it I may burn down in battle the Dananvas and
the Raksasas, the evil spirits and Piscas. Gandharvas, and Snakes.
From its mouth, when properly spelt, issue forth thousands of
tridents, awful-looking clubs, and missiles like venomous snakes.
With it I shall embattle Bhisma, Drona and Krpa, and the always
rough-spoken son of the suta.
This is my first wish, my lord, who
took Bhaga's eyes, (Bhaga is Indra - Now we are told how the
terrible weapon he could not handle, blinded him - A.N.) so that by
your grace I may go forth competent!"
See all that the Bible leaves
out! Why though would a lord who tries to kill him, then help him?
But more striking here, they had obtained the ultimate weapon,
placing logistics in their favor:
"The Blessed Lord said: I shall
give you the great Pasupala weapon, which is my favorite, equally
capable. Pandava, of maintaining, releasing, and destroying. Even
great Indra does not know it, nor Yama. nor the king of the Yaksas;
neither Varuna nor the Wind God, how much less the humans.
However, Partha. you must never lei it loose at any man in wanton violence,
for if it hits a person of insufficient power, it might burn down
the entire world. There is no one in all three worlds with their
moving and standing creatures who is invulnerable to it, and it can
be launched with a thought, a glance, o word, or a bow."
Well, the
truth will out as they say, it is against Indra whom they will use
it.
The god of the "Bull-banner" who had "laughed" when the fight
was over and forgave him was probably as eager to be rid of Indra as
the Pandava and with his trident and bull-banner was no doubt a
relative and Arjuna's fighting him meant the latter had mistaken his
different form as being one of the enemy. Both would now work to the
mutual satisfaction of each other.
The lord then tells him how to
operate this most dangerous of weapons:
"Now learn!"
Then he taught
the best of the Pandavas about this missile, along with the secrets
of its return, this missile that is Death incarnate.
Thenceforth it
waited on the great-spirited hero as it does on Uman's three-eyed
spouse, and Arjuna accepted it happily. And earth with her mountains,
forest, and trees, and oceans and odd spots of wilderness, with
villages, cities, and mines, trembled. When the moment come there
ivas an outcry of conches, drums, and kettledrums by the thousands,
and a huge quake occurred.
The Gods and the Danavas witnessed how
that fiercely burning dreadful missile stood bodily deployed at the
side of the boundlessly lustrous Pandava. The Three-eyed God touched
the boundlessly lustrous Phalguna. and whatever was ailing in his
body, il all disappeared.
The Three-eyed God dismissed Arjuna,
saying,
"Now go to heaven."
And, bowing his head, the Partha looked
at the God with folded hands.
This God was named Siva too. which is
a title, and like his brethren either had the supernumerary eye or the
frontal fibroma. He then flew up to the heavens. Do you take great
notice of the test they took to see how it works? Sound familiar?
And, again sounding much like Jacob in the Bible.
Arjuna later
declares.
"I have seen the Great God in person! I am fortunate and
greatly favored, for I hove seen the three-eyed, boon-granting Hara
of the Pinaka in his own form, and I have touched his person with my
hand. I know that I have completely succeeded by myself; all the
enemies are defeated and my purpose has been accomplished."
All of
the hosts of the Gods arrived and the world guardians said to him.
"Your fame will remain everlasting in the world. Phalguna. for yon
have satisfied the Great God himself in a grand battle: and with
Visnu you will lighten the burden of the earth."
The World Guardians
always seem to be those who came between and saw that justice was
done.
Yama himself appeared and in a "thunderous voice" said in his
wisdom, who knows the Law entire, occupying the south, uttered this
blissful word:
"Arjuna. Arjuna, behold us! The World Guardians have
assembled. We bestow on you eyesight, for you ore worthy of seeing
us."
"Take my weapon, the irresistible staff, strong-armed hero, for
with this weapon you shall do great deeds."
Arjuna received the
weapon, and knew,
"the proper manner, with the spells, the correct
mode of address, and instructions on unleashing and returning it."
Varuna said to him,
"for even Death cannot escape you when you
attack. When you go to war with this weapon, the earth shall
doubtless be emptied of barons."
It seems at this great assembly all
the Gods imparted some sort of weapon for the titanic battle ahead,
"After him spoke the Lord of Riches, who dwells on Mount Kailasa,
when Varuna and Yama had given their divine weapons".
"Strong-armed,
left-handed archer, ancient God everlasting, in eons gone by you
always labored at our side. Now accept from me too a gift, my
precious weapon of disappearance, which dissipates energy, vigor,
and splendor, and put the foe to sleep, enemy-killer."
The "King of the Gods" then approached him and Rama said,
"Strong-armed son of Kunti, you are the ancient lord who attained to
the ultimate perfection and went in person the divine way. For a
very great task is yours to accomplish for the Gods, enemy-tamer!
You must ascend lo heaven; be prepared, radiant man. My chariot
driven by Matali shall come to earth for you, and in heaven I shall
give you the weapons of the Gods Kaurava."
They then, after being
saluted by Arjuna, left 'Star-trek' style,
"returned as they had
come, with the speed of thought at their beck and call" with Arjuna
"very joyous" that he had received the weapons they needed.
Now, was
this a bomb to counteract the one Siva promised to drop in his
"holocaust," or was this one the "ultimate" weapon, one capable of
disintegrating all of earth?
The entire Middle East was laid waste
by Siva it seems to keep the Pandava away. But the Pandava now
threatened to destroy the entire world. Why, then, did they leave so
abruptly? Rama was usually against such policies, he may not have
agreed to this.
They surely would not have left so abruptly if they
had the 'ultimate weapon.' Did Siva somehow gain control of it?
Here, is where we have a huge gap in this history which does tell
us, however, why our ancestors cannot return. If you noticed in the
text, the Lord tells Arjuna that if he uses it on earth, it will
destroy it completely, so obviously, the weapon was meant for combat
in space only, which is why all the gods were for it.
But if Siva
obtained use of it...
The Pandava fought so for earth through all these thousands of years
of warfare because this was the "cosmic egg" of the primal Gods
birth. If earth were artificially made as some believe, would they
have fought for it so?
This planet is their heart, the earth that
gives them strength. This Siva knew, and if he destroyed it,
everyone would lose. This weapon was his best maneuver to rid the
earth of the Pandava. Because this planet initiated life, it is
probably one of the best resources for minerals, its life-forms mean
nothing other than they further keep the Pandava away through
thanatobiosis.
Siva had lost all of the Middle East when it seems he
had to finally destroy it himself in his scorched earth policy.
This
weapon would even the score. But, according to this text, it will be
used just the same at the end of the eon, so is there some sort of
time limit the earth is under? Will Rama finally put an end to the
madness? They still have a son left behind in a tomb in Egypt...
Well, is this our heritage - all we are are pawns on a cosmic
rookery? Will we look to the skies and see these 'celestial
chariots' in aerial combat again as the texts state?
Many 'New Age'
people believe the Gods will return and retrieve those who are
worthy as they seem to have done in the past which is a lovely
thought, but this seems to be impossible as long as Siva holds this
weapon to the heart of the Ennead. And. they will have to be careful
which "Space Brothers," as they call them, they greet.
It seems that
most reports today state they are blonde-haired, tall, white-skinned
and others are a 3-4 foot high, green, slant-eyed type. If you have
grasped any of this history at all, the white, blonde-haired ones
are Siva's lineages who have used the androgynic Christ image to
lure people, while this other faction so described reminds me of
this third party whom Siva employs to help him.
Perhaps these people
are the 'Kaleyas' of ages past whom everyone feared.
One of those
reasons was that they were cannibals, and one casual look at
Egyptian history tells us they feared a great deal these intruders
whom they knew used them for this purpose. The Veda certainly
substantiates this. They may answer why we have seen so much animal
mutilation and we certainly have records of people missing, even the
populace of entire towns.
UFO abductions certainly have validity
here. Many people of ancient times were merely taken "above' as meat
for a cosmic cuisine.
We cannot get overly excited by all this
"Space Brother" nonsense, for if you will look back over all this
history, not everyone who descended from the heavens were friendly.
And. as much as we have degraded genetically, the Gods really do not
have much use for us.
We are all of earth now. not of the heavens.
The dust of the stars left our hearts too long ago...
