COSMIC CONNECTION WITH THE SIRIUS STAR SYSTEM - THE BRIGHTEST STAR IN THE NIGHT SKY




























Known as the brightest star in the night sky, Sirius is a binary stars system consisting of Sirius A a main sequence star ( the brighter component) accompanied by a White dwarf star named Sirius B. Belonging to the Canis Major constellation,  Sirius derives its name from the Greek word Serios meaning scorching or burning. As Sirius was associated with the Dog Days of summer for the Greeks and the annual flooding of the Nile for the Egyptians. Hence, colloquially it is often referred as the Dog Star for being a part of constellation of Canis Major which is also known as the Greater Dog.
Classically associated as the Orion's dog since antiquity, Sirius has been connected with several religious,  astronomical and mythological beliefs and is still considered as the most influential star system in the entire cosmic world. In Egyptian traditions, during the Middle kingdom era the calendars were based on the heliacal rising of Sirius ( also known as Sopdet to the Egyptians ), marked the summer solstice and the annual flooding of the Nile, as the star became visible above the eastern horizon before sunrise followed by a period of 70 days of absence . The hieroglyph for Sirius, denotes  a star and triangle, symbolising the star's association with the Egyptian Goddess Isis, as she constituted a Divine triad with Consort Osiris and their son Horus. Whereas the 70 days of absence marked the Underworld voyage of Isis and Osiris which was referred as Duat or the Egyptian Underworld.
The Greeks associated Sirius with the flaming heat of intense summers causing wilting and weakening of life forms. The Ceos Island inhabitants in the Aegean Sea performed sacrificial rituals to Sirus and Zeus in the hope of cool breezes or summer rain awaiting the appearance of the star in the summers. While the Romans observed the heliacal rising of Sirius around April 25, with a sacrifice of a dog, incense, wine and sheep, celebrated as the Robigalia festival were offered to the God Robigo to vitalize fertility and ward agricultural crop dieseases like wheat rust. In Sanskrit, Sirius is referred as Mrgavyadha or the deer hunter, or Lubdhaka the hunter, as Sirius is associated with Rudra or Lord Shiva in the symbolical form of Mrgavyadha.
The indigenous Boorong people of northwestern Victoria referred Sirius as Warepil. In Scandinavia the star is referred as Loki's torch or Lokabrenna according to Norse mythology. Sirius was a Behenian fixed star associated with Beryl and Juniper according to the astronomical records of the middle ages, with its astrological symbol being listed by German Occult alchemist Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa. According to the Persians, Zohorastrianism,  Sirius is referred as Tishtrya or the Rain maker divinity as one of the Yazatas or the powers worthy of worship, besides mentions in the Avesta sacred texts, Tishtrya is followed by the name Tir in middle and new Persian texts as mentioned in the Epic Shahnameh of Ferdowsi. In Chinese astronomy,  Sirius is referred as the star of the Celestial wolf. Whereas, the Native Americans associate Sirius with the Canines, the Alaskan Inuits refer it as the Moon Dog, while the Cherokee pairs Sirius with Antares, as the dog-star guardian of the path of souls . The Pawnee of Nebraska associate Sirius as the wolf star or the Coyote star. The Seri and Tohono O'odham of the southwest refer it as the dog that follows the mountain sheep. The Ethnic group of Mali known as the Dogons have the cosmological knowledge of Sirius through visitations of cosmological beings. While the Serer religious cosmology Sirius is referred as Yoonir is worshipped as the centre of the universe.
In Theosophical beliefs, the Seven star of Pleiades emit spirtual rays from the Galactic logos to the Seven Stars of The Bear to Sirius which is then reflected through the Sun to the God of Earth Sanat Kumara through the Seven masters of the Seven rays the Saptarishis to the human race.

The Cosmological symbol of Sirius as the Centre of the universe denoted by a pentagram star shape

The silent yet powerful invocations to The Dog star can be read in Jim Morrison's poetry,  as a ritual call to the ancestors

Out of sight!
The lights are getting brighter
The radio is moaning
Calling to the dogs
There are few animals
Left out in the yard
But it's getting harder
To describe sailors
To the underfed

Tropic  corridor
Tropic Treasure
What got us this far
To this mild equator?

Calling on the dogs
Calling on the dogs
Calling on the dogs
Calling on the dogs
Calling on the dogs
CALLING ON THE GODS

Meet me
At the crossroads
Meet me
At the edge of town
Outskirts of the city
Just you & I
& the evening sky..........

                                  - Jim Morrison

"There is an awakening
And all that remains is true
As the body is ravaged
The spirit grows stronger

Forgive me Father for I know
What I do
I want to hear the last Poem
the last Poet.

"Blessings

Accept this ancient
Wisdom
Which has travelled
Far to greet us
From the East
W/the sun

Call out to him
From the high mountain
High, from high
Towers

As the mind
Rebels
& wends its way
To freedom

Grant us one more day
& hour
The hero of this dream
Who heals & guides us

There is an audience to our drama.
Magic shade mask
LIKE THE HERO OF A DREAM, HE WORKS FOR US,
IN OUR BEHALF.


Strange world waits & watches.
Ancient dread of non-existence.

The truth is on his chest
The cellular excitement has
Totally inspired our magic
Veteran.    And now for an
Old trip.      I'm tired of thinking.
I want old forms to
Reassert......
My mind is just - you know.....

Smile like a calm survivor
Of the psychic war."
                                      - Jim Morrison


THE ETERNAL GUIDE AS THE CHARIOTEER OF THE BHAGAVAD GITA

"I AM A GUIDE TO THE LABYRINTH
COME & SEE ME

No one thought up being;
He who thinks he has
Step forward

The flowering of God-like people
In the muted air
Would seem strange to an intruder of certain size

BUT THIS ALL WE HAVE LEFT TO GUIDE US
NOW THAT HE IS GONE "
                                              -Jim Morrison

The Bhagavad Gita is considered as one of the Apex Scriptural text in Eastern Mysticism,Originally being regarded as the Holy Gospel of Sanatan Dharma or the unified religion of Man is now adopted by Hinduism as their Primary religious text. The Bhagvad  Gita or The Song Of The Lord is 700 verse text comprising of 18 chapters (sections 25-42) in the Bhisma Parva of the Epic legend Mahabharata,  composed by Eternal Sage Ved Vyasa approximately around 4th century BCE as the precise date is yet unaccounted. The Gita begins before the the Climatic war of Kurukshetra, as the Pandava warrior Arjuna is perplexed and bewildered in dilemma as he counters his own relatives, family and brothers in the Blood bath war ground, thus making him dwell in the vices and virtues of dualism. The Truth is then revealed by his Eternal Friend, Charioteer, Guide and Teacher Lord Krishna as He encourages Arjuna to carry forward the assigned task explaining the three prime pathways of Unity with the Divine ; 1. Through Karma Yoga ( Chapters 1-6) the precursor to goal, as Krishna describes and justifies the necessity of human actions or Karma as it eventually leads to freedom or Moksha through the process of evolution and salvation of the soul as it passes all the stages of human  life course and experiences phases of different existential states through its Karma as an e enactment of the Divine Will.
2. Bhakti Yoga ( Chapters 7-12) the pathway of love and devotion, the will of true surrender to the Lord who cares for all.As Bhakti or love is the only process of self-transfiguration and flowering of the Soul, all creative assets and abilities arise from love or Bhakti towards the Subconscious Supreme
3. Jyana Yoga ( Chapters13-18 ) is the final abode of the Spirit or the Attainment of the Goal itself as one imbibes Eternal knowledge of The Absolute Divine consciousness.

The subdued consciousness of The Bhagavad Gita can be read and realised through Jim Morrison's poetic compositions.


"INDIA INK, INK OF INDIA
THERE ARE NO MORE RICH COLORS
ESCAPES BACK SMOOTH
IN THE DESERT SEA....

IN THIS "HOLLOW" WE WERE BORN.
OBEY THE FATHER RUN
ESCAPE BACK INTO THE LANDSCAPE.

Heaven or Hell the circus
Of your actions

To Play ( Chance is a God here )
Assuage the guilt
The deep fear
The separate loneliness

The Party of new connections
Mind made free
Love cannot save you
From your fate
Art cannot soothe
Words cannot tame
The Night

So I tell you
      I tell you
        I tell you
 We must send away

 We must try to find a new
       Answer instead of
                           A way


All hail the American Night

And so I say to you
The silk handkerchief was
Embroidered in China or Japan
Behind the steel curtain  And
No one can cross the borderline
W/out proper credentials.
This is to say that we are all
Sensate & occasionally sad
& if every partner in crime
Were to incorporate promises
 hiS program the dance
MIght end & all our friends
Would follow.

Who are our friends?

Are they sullen & slow? Do
They have great desire? Or
Are they one of the multitude who
Walk doubting their impossible
Regret.   Certainly things happen
& reoccur in continuous promise;
Al of us have found a safe
Niche where we can store up
Riches & talk to our fellows
On the same premise of disaster.

But this will not do.   No, this
Will never do.        There are
Continents & shores which
Beseech our understanding.
Seldom have we been so slow.
Seldom have we been so far.


MY ONLY WISH IS TO SEE
FAR ARDEN AGAIN."

                                    -Jim Morrison

"Why the desire for death.

A clean paper on a pure
     White wall. One false
Line, a scratch, a mistake.
Unerasable. So obscure
By adding million other
      Tracings, blend it,
Cover over.
But the original scratch
Remains, written in
Gold blood, shining.

DESIRE FOR A PERFECT LIFE

Those who Race toward Death
Those who wait
Those who worry

There is no death....
Everlasting hope & fulfillment

Eternal consciousness
        In the Void......."
                                           -Jim Morrison

OSIRIS THE EYGPTIAN GOD OF DEATH, UNDERWORLD AND IMMORTALITY.
The Eygptian God of Death, Afterlife and Immortality Osiris is adorned by the Atef crown similar to the white crown of Upper Eygpt is added with two curled ostrich feathers attached to each side, The Lord is green skinned symbolical of re-birth or resurrection with a Pharoah's beard holding the crook and flail in hands the instruments of a Shepherd sharing a close resemblance to Jesus Christ ( as The Shepherd God) is also known as Wenennefer or the one who continues to be perfect,  the Lord of Mercy pardoning redeemer at the hour of death  Lord of Love as the eternal lover of Isis , Lord of Silence and the One Who is ever youthful and Benign or the Lord of Immortality. Thus, is associated with the kings of Eygpts as they hoped to be united with Osiris at the hour of death to be resurrected like him, attaining eternal life through imitative magic.
Since, the name Osiris came in prominance in The Pyramid texts  Fifth Dynasty of Eygpt , it is believed that the Lord was worshipped earlier as Khenti-Amentiu the epithet which referred to 'As the Foremost Among The Westerners' symbolising kingship in the land of the dead  which dates back to the first dynasty.
The hope of New life after Death made Osiris connected with the cycles of nature and hence is linked to the Constellations of Orion and Sirius. Osiris is also rarely depicted as a Lunar God adorned with a crown encompassing the Moon (gives a close suggestive resemblance to the Hindu God of Death and Afterlife Shiva whose matted locks also encircle the moon)
Osiris is the oldest  son of the Earth God Geb and the Sky Goddess Nut, the brother as well as consort of Goddess Isis and the father of Falcon headed God Horus.
As the early Pyramid texts referred to Afterlife synonymous with travelling to other Star systems along the Primeval Sun God Ra .
The funerary texts of the beginning of the 4th dynasty are found inscriptions 'An offering the king gives and Anubis' by the end of the fifth dynasty it changes to 'An offering the king gives and Osiris.'



As the Sun was believed to spend the Night in Underworld and re-incarnate again at Dawn. The combined forces of Ptah-Seker the Gods of re incarnation along with Osiris as ptah-Seker-Osiris worshipped as the Lords of The Underworld and re-incarnation.

Jim Morrison's silent references to The Eygptian God Osiris can be traced throughout his poetic verses...

"Does the house burn? So be it.
The World, a film which men devise.
Smoke drifts thru these chambers
Murders occur in a bedroom.
Mummers chant, birds hush & coo
Will this do?
Take Two.......

Each day is a drive thru history

Hesitation & doubt
Swiftly ensconced

Time has claimed you
Coming for you

This is the sea of doubt
Which threads harps
           unwithered
           & unstrung
Its the brother, not the past
Who turns sunlight into glass
It's the valley
It's me

Testimony from
A strange witness

They are waiting to take us into
                                           the severed garden
 Do you know how pale & wanton thrillful
               Comes death on a strange hour
Like a scaring over-friendly guest you've
                            Brought to bed
 Death makes angels of us all
                & gives us wings
Where we had shoulders
                Smooth as raven's
                                 Claws

No more money, no more fancy dress
This kingdom seems by far the best
Until its other jaws reveals incest
& loose obedience to a vegetable law

The Endless quest a vigil
Of watchtowers and fortresses
Against the sea and time.
Have they won? Perhaps.
They still stand and in
Their silent rooms still wander
THE SOULS OF THE DEAD,
WHO KEEP THEIR WATCH ON THE LIVING.
SOON ENOUGH WE SHALL JOIN THEM.
SOON ENOUGH WE SHALL WALK
THE WALLS OF TIME. WE SHALL
MISS NOTHING
EXCEPT EACH OTHER......"

                                        - Jim Morrison

Lions in the street & roaming.......
                               Is everybody in ?
The ceremony is about to begin.

Wake up!
You can't remember where it was.
Had this dream stopped?.........

I can't live thru each slow century.......
Feel the good cold stinging blood,,,,,,,,


THE LION MAN EMBODIMENT (NARASIMHA)

Narasimha as evidenced in accordance with epic legends and scriptures is the Incarnation (Avatar) of the Hindu God Vishnu as in the form of a lion's  head, hands and claws along with the torso of a human male. It has mentions in all Major Puranas with seventeen variations of the main narrative. In Vedantic references appears as an Epithet in the Rig Veda which describes the incarnate as "like some wild beast, dread, prowling, mountain roaming " along with an allusion to the Namuci story- "with waters' foam you tore off, Indra, the head of Namuci, subduing all contending hosts". This short reference is believed to culminate in the entire Puranic  epic  legend of Narasimha.
Also attributed the Epithet of Mriga Sharira (Sanskrit reference to The Animal Man ) as viewed in the perspective  of theology and philosophy Narasimha emerges as the iconic image in Vaishanavism as the paths of jyana (knowledge) and bhakti (devotion) as opposed to advaita where bhakti does not exist as it  is the state of non-dualism where the worshipper is worshipped or the jeeva is paramatma (matter whether animate or inanimate is the Brahman or manifestation of The Lord).
The Narasimha embodiment of The Lord displays his omniscience and omnipresence as the primordial force still controlling matter  having the power of emergence and dismissal  as the Matsya Purana describes Narasimha ripped apart... as the plaiter of straw mats shreds the reeds. Signifies the animal embodiment of the Lord as the Great Protector or The Saviour of mankind. Narasimha can be regarded as the Ancient Primeval Incarnation of The Lord as The Redeemer or the Saviour.

"Let the carnival bells ring
Let the serpent sing
Let everything

And I can tell you the names of the Kingdom
I can tell you the things that you know
Listening for a fistful of silence
Climbing valleys into the shade"

There's Blood in the streets
         & it's up to my ankles
Blood in the streets
             & its up to my knee
Blood in the streets
               Of the town of Chicago
Blood on the rise
              & its following me ....
Blood in the streets
                & it's up to my thigh
The river runs red
        Down the legs of the city......


Blood ! Screams her brain
              As they chop off her fingers
Blood will be born
                     In the birth of a nation
Blood is the rose of mysterious
                                             Union.


FROM SELF-DECAPITATION TO SELF-CONTROL


                                         " Here she lie bleeding,
                      Blue wounds just to tell us in our floppy hats
                                                    It's Over  "
                                                                - Jim Morrison                            

The iconography of Goddess Chhinnamasta or the self-decapitated with severed head is the Ultimate state of Self - assertion and Self-control achieved through sacrifice and awakening of the Kundalini energy. The Goddess Chhinnamasta, the fifth of the Ten Mahavidyas is the embodiment of Heroism (Vira rasa) and terror (bhayanka rasa) as she is the life-giver and the life - taker and is viewed in the forms of a benevolent mother, the embodiment of self sacrifice and self control and the Goddess  in her self destructive wilderness. Chhinnamasta adored with threads and garlands of serpent and skull heads is accompanied by her two Yoginis ( attendants or companions) Dakini on her left and Varnini to her right, as they share and drink the gushing blood jet streams flowing from the Goddess's severed head. This form is described in Tantrasara as the Trishakti Tantra. While the Tantrasara also describes another higher form of the Goddess seated in her own navel invisible and can be experienced during meditative trance. The Goddess is very closely associated with the Tibetan Chhinamunda, the Tantric Buddhist Goddess Vajrayogini with severed head is often referred as the antecedent of the Hindu Goddess Chhinnamasta.

Jim Morrison's subconscious invocation to the Benevolent Goddess can be identified through the lines of his poetry and symbolisms

                  So we played the carnival. Car. Carne.
                   Feast of meat . Celebration of blood.
                  O lucky ones who enjoy the dumb show
                   The reptile farm . The snake farm........
                      The place. The sink
                          Big Dismal
                         Goes in 2 ways.  Spirit & Meat.
                       You cannot join what can't be joined
                       You cannot travel 2 roads
                                              (He rode off in all directions)

Mystery of the dream

The mystery of flight
 be inside the brain of a bird
Goal- the end of a Goddess's
To slide gracefully &
Knowledgeably into graveland
The Big dream
                            Vs
Violent assassination of
Spirit & neck & skull ...........


For seven years I dwelt
In the loose palace of exile.......

Now I have come again
To the land of the fair, & the strong, & the wise.....

"Now Night arrives with her purple legion.
Retire now to your tents & to your dreams.
Tommorow we enter the town of my birth.
I want to be ready."
