Book Description

About the Book
Navajyothisree Karunakara Guru established Santhigiri Ashram in the year 1964. He built a `Pamasala' a single thatched room with four wooden poles supporting it. That was the nascent form of the; Pamasala’. It was here that Guru sat and discoursed to disciples. On 6th May, 1999, Guru left his physical body and merged with Adisankalpam. the Primordial Consciousness, the source of creation. It was revealed from the supreme light that Guru's body should be laid to rest in the Pamasala itself. This sacred space where Guru's body rests is built most magnificently in the form of a white Lotus (in marble) in keeping with its divine significance.

Introduction
About 30 years back Santhigiri Publications brought out a book- let authored by Navajyothisree Karunakara Guru titled 'Haindava Dharmam - Manuvilkudiyo Trimurtikalil Kudiyo'(Hindu Dharma, has it come through Manu or Trimetric}. By this question Guru , wanted to draw the attention of the people of this country to the basic causations of poverty, social disintegration and cultural .degeneration of this great land and 'civilization despite her unique spiritual legacy. Even today an average Hindu is incapable to answer the question posed by the Guru. In the heterogeneous ·and complex character of Hinduism, truth is veiled by untruth, myth and legends eclipse reality and distortions are legitimized. Therefore, an ordinary Hindu lives in the midst of religious ritualism and spiritual ignorance unable to discriminate between Sanatana Dharma and Trimurty system. This incapacitated them to recognize and accept divine masters like Sree Krishna, Sree Buddha, Mahavira, Gurunanak and others who took birth to guide them to the right path. Guru's revelation that the unabated sufferings and sorrows of humanity, despite the sacrifice of great souls, have resulted from the deviation in Yuga Dharma and distorted forms of worship, is an eye-opener to all God believing people. A proper understanding of Guru's revelation is possible only when one understands Sanatana Dharma, its eclipse due to a spiritual error in the past and the advent of Trimurty system and the resultant degradation in karma and dharma leading to astral pollution, human sufferings and miseries of all sorts.

Sanatana Dharma

If we are to evaluate the worth of India, it becomes necessary to understand the purpose of Manusmriti - the perennial law of Manu which constitutes the basis of Sanatana Dharma, Navajyothisree Karunakara Guru said, But the name of the first Guru, Manu, and the dharma he gifted to humanity and the truth that Manu Dharma is the basis of Sanatana Dharma have all vanished from human memory and never taught. Interestingly Manu, the first law giver is characterized as the most reactionary and conservative whose laws were responsible for the rise of caste system and denial of liberty, especially to women. The basic reasons that contributed to the demise of Sanatana Dharma was first revealed by Navajyothisree Karunakara Guru. Guru pointed out that a small book that is circulated today as Manu Smriti is a distorted version of the original Manu Smriti, which was long lost and has nothing to do with the present one.

Manu was a fully realized Guru through whom the Supreme or Brahman revealed to humanity the divine design of cosmic time, dharma and evolutionary process in the nature. That is why Sanatana Dharma is also called as Manu Dharma. It encompassed the principles to be followed in each and every aspect of spiritual and material pursuit of human life. Those principles were -considered eternal because they were given by Trikala Jnanis or realized Guru's who could discern in spiritual vision the cause-effect relationship of all material and metaphysical phenomena. The time scale given by Manu Smriti and the concept of Yuga Dharma form the basis of Manu Dharma or Sanatana Dharma. According to this. the creation. existence and dissolution of the world occur in a time span of one Kalpa. One Kalpa is composed of 14 Man- Tantaras and one Manwantara consists of 72 Chaturyugas and one Chaturyuga consists of four 'rugas, namely. Krita (Satya), Treta, Dwapara and Kali. An important fact to be noticed is that each Yuga has its own karma. dharma and worship system. In each Yuga great seers or epochal, era transferring Gurus would take birth to impart to humanity the dharma and karma of each age. It is in this context an observation of Navajyothisree Karunakara Guru holds significance.

Guru pointed out that the greatest mistake occurred to Hindu society is that it still follows the Yuga Dharma of Treta and Dwapara in the present Kali Yuga which has caused the loss of material as well as spiritual progress.
