A Vedic Alternative to Darwin's Theory with Michael Cremo 

Dear, I would like to know your thought on Varaha Avatar or Bohr who saved Earth from sinking.. Please check the below sculpture of 8th Century in temple at Karnataka India. commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:8th_century_Durga_Surya_temple_Varaha_avatar_of_Vishnu_with_Bhudevi,_Aihole_Hindu_temples_monuments.jpg images.app.goo.gl/aqNoLiyT1vNDktKM9 It clearly shows that shape of earth is round. Now do you feel also that Vedvyas who had written Vishnu Purana knew that Earth is round? The shape of earth is round is discovered by Gallelio in 1633 and Church admitted on 2013. Europe did not admit until Apollo sent images of earth from space. So the artist who made the sculpture of Varaha Avatar in 8 the century already knew that Earth is round?

Michael cremo is still alive.

I've personally served him a few times when he came to Canada. One thing thing he doesn't advertise is that he actually practices what he studies from the Srimad Bhagavatam, which is the "cream of the Vedas". You'll notice his Tulsi neck beads and some other video his shikka. He is practicing the ancient Aryan way of devotion to God, Krishna. He knows much, much more. Basically, he is not an intellectual who simply appreciates the wisdom of the Vedas, he lives his life accordingly. This is why he is so eloquent and reserved. He is a disciple of the great spiritual master Srila Prabhupada.

Thats weird because africans dont have libraries.

Mr. Cremo is one of my favorite author and speakers! The amount of information this man has in his head is amazing.

@@Groyped the library at Alexandria was African but the Europeans didn't like the accumulated facts that it held so they burnt it.

@@1godonlyone119 But hindus follow vedic wisdom

@@Dharmicaction Some Hindus are Christians, some are Muslims, some are agnostics, and some are atheists, actually. Also, many non-Hindus follow Vedic wisdom.

@@1godonlyone119 No. A Hindu does not follow any other religion, just like any religionist. We are all actually spirit-souls -- jivatmas. God is paramatma (the great atma). This is eternal and therefore unchangeable. What is changeable (therefore meaningless) is our faith, gender, race, creed, job title, political view, etc. Sometimes one has to live a few lifetimes to experience the variety of designations, but the point is that these are all temporary designations. The main point however is that God is not a Hindu, nor Muslim nor Christian. He is God. Therefore He can speak in any language to any man (who has the heart to hear...like Jesus, Moses, Mohammed, Madvacharya, Ramanujacharya, Srila Prabhupada, etc.) to the limits that he is ready to digest.

@@nickburak7518 The word Hindu designates an ethnicity only -- not a religion or a faith. It refers exclusively to the ethnic group that is native to the Indus river valley. In order to be correctly considered a religious group, all members of the group in question must necessarily hold to the same specific set of religious or Theistic tenets. However, like Europeans, Hindus do not all hold to a single set of religious or Theistic tenets, so it would be just as incorrect to classify Hindus as a religious group as it would be to classify Europeans as a religious group: Just like Europeans, Hindus can be any religion -- Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, agnostic, atheist, or any other religion. Just as the word Norwegian designates nationality, and the word Nordic designates ethnicity, so the word Indian designates nationality, and the word Hindu designates ethnicity. The word Hindu does not appear in any of God's revealed scriptures, and it is no more a religion than​ Nordic, Chinese, African, Israeli, or Lithuanian could somehow be religions. The word Hindu does not connote any specific religious overtones: It designates an ethnicity only. Hindus who accept Jesus are still Hindus -- they don't become Israelis -- just as I remained Nordic-American when I accepted Jesus and I did not convert to Israeli. Although Jesus was an Israeli, simply being Israeli doesn't carry any specific religious overtones -- some Israelis are Jewish, some are Christian, some are Muslim, and some are atheist -- and being a Hindu works the same way as being an Israeli: Both Israeli and Hindu are ethnic designations only. There are Theistic people native to that region, and there are atheistic people. There are Agnostics, Voidists, Monists, and Dualists, and those are all different religions with proper names, not "Hinduism." The people practicing those different religions in that region are of the same ethnic group, not the same religious group. The name of that ethnicity is Hindu. Hindu is an ethnicity, not a religion. Nobody can name the main tenet or tenets of this supposed "Hinduism" religion, nor can anyone point out the group who all believe those tenets or that tenet. The religious traditions that I specified above don't all hold to the same tenets, which would be required in order to properly classify Hindu as a religion rather than an as an ethnicity, which is what it is.

@@1godonlyone119 Yes, yes, I see what you mean. Your comparison to "Europeans" made sense. But generally a Hindu is an Indian-bodied person who follows the Gita. Isn't it? Mind you I know many Hindus and they are more into engineering and IT than Krishna. Just like someone born in the land of Jordan, who could be either a Jew, Christian or Muslim, could be said that they are "Jordanian" ethnically, for a lack of better term. But I don't think that the typical Hindu would agree that it's an ethnic thing alone, although by their actions I can see there's only lip service to God, Krishna or Vishnu. For them their religion is their ethnicity. No? The Hindu may be an "Indian" you could say, but they aren't Muslim nor Catholic. Also I think that the Muslim wouldn't refer to himself as Indian either ... Maybe the Catholics might. Do you agree?

I therefore encourage you to investigate Srila Prabhupada, who is the highest inspiration behind all that Mr. Cremo does. Consider getting the Bhagavad-gita As It Is.

and you know nothing about it while westerns are learning it sad truth.

@@merohit121 how can you say that without knowing me ⁉️

Yes

@@merohit121 Because of Srila Prabhupada the westerners indeed reintroduced the sanatana dhaarma to the Indians in the 70's (after failing earlier in India, the land of his birth). This is why veneration for Srila Prabhupada continues to grow. There is no need to study from Vivekananda (and his lineage Swami Sivananda, Vishnudevananda, Mahadevananda, etc.), Paramahmsa Yogananda, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Sai Baba, the hugging mother Amma. Still the people of India are very blessed to still be teaching this eternal knowledge.

@@merohit121 you don't even know the person how can you come up with that stupid assumption. If I call you an idiot does that mean you're an idiot?

Vedas are the only revelations that God has revealed in the very beginning of the mankind.

That is because he is the disciple of a bonafide and worlds greatest guru, A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada! I have taken courses with him

Gaura Prabhu is right (and I know him, too)! I have personally served with Mr. Cremo for a bit. When one follows the teachings of a genuine pure devotee (pure devotion is what actually makes a genuine spiritual master) without adding any personal ideas of his own, then the essence of the Vedas can be unlocked. Simply read the Bhagavad-gita As It Is and you may see this for yourself!

@@gauradas108 Gaurunga!

The word "Zen" comes from the Sanskrit word "Dhyana," which means meditation on the spiritual form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Those of us who also meditate understand what you mean perfectly.

@@2sridhark Concentrating (zero oscillation of thought) on something (like typing a comment or watching a movie is same as doing meditation. Only the duration and disturbance differ. Of course, you are going to meditate without any disturbance in an isolated place. But the core concept is the same which is focus or concentration. it is because shiva (athma) and shakthi (universe) cannot be separated and one cannot exist without the other. In other words, shiva is also powerless without shakthi. The gap between our thoughts (shakthi) is also shiva. The space around is also a mixture of shiva and shakthi (electromagnetic waves) But individual interests to concentrate on something differ and shaped by situations and circumstances based on past karma. Delayed causation is how karma works. Remember, meditation is not the only way to connect with the cosmos.. Divine avatar krishna talks about different pathways in addition to dhayana yoga. There is karma yoga, sanyasa yoga, bakthi yoga (not blind faith) and Jnana yoga. All "yoga" pathways lead to the same truth. "Sarva dharma sama bhava"

If you believe that your visions are coming from outside of your own brain, rather than being produced by your own brain, you were never a Dawkins style "complete atheist". Your early cult training is way more influential on you than any bits and pieces of scientific knowledge you may have, and you have apparently just switched the supernatural beliefs of your old cult for new supernatural beliefs. All supernatural claims that have been tested using valid scientific research methodologies have turned out to be false claims by people who imagined that their own mental processes are coming from outside their heads. They're mostly sincere, but delusional.

Thank you... Much better

Hope hindu will wake from this 2500 years fraud theory and follow real mean of Dharma to Seeking Truth and Seeking different different Dimension to know GOD.

like all other religions, people think they know it all , but like you say, we are only looking at the mere surface.

If I'm to be my own teacher, then I don't need Krishnamurti or his self-contradictory and foolish utterances.

If I don't have the answers to life's questions and I become my own teacher then HOW IN THE WORLD WILL I LEARN ANYTHING?! Bogus premise!!

The deeper meaning evades you. Implicit: acquire an expansive base knowledge (& experience) from all available sources, distill into wisdom, detach from "external" authority etc ... few achieve this state.

Then you do need teachers other than yourself -- thank you for admitting that fact!

@@1godonlyone119 I think Preparation is different to actual journey.. when you are acquiring the knowledge, you need teachers, J.Krishnamurthi had his teachers.

For those who are interested, Mr. Cremo actually follows Dwaita philosophy, which perfectly agrees with the Bhagavad-gita and the Vedas. It means that we eternally remain as individual souls and therefore cannot "become" God. Adwaita philosophy in the other hands assumes something rather ungodly (not unlike much of society today); that God is secondary to spirit. But this is contrary to every page of the Vedas. Dwaita philosophy is that there is God, who is the Supreme Spirit, Bhagavan, and there's also spirit. Brahman. Brahman is real and eternal. As us Bhagavan. And they are inseparable. But let's make sure to always remember that the store house of spirit -- where the individual is -- which is made of brahman nature -- is the Atman. God. Is. Atman. Atman is eternal brahman as an individual soul. This is Bhagavan. But saying "Atman" is impersonal. Why? Because God is a person. An individual no less than you and I. There's no energy, no quality that we possess that God doesn't have in full. Perfectly. The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, is always full of six opulences-namely complete wealth, complete strength, complete fame, complete knowledge, complete beauty and complete renunciation. So Atma and brahman are inseparable. The light emenating from Krishnas body is brahman. But they are not the same thing. Jiva means individual. We are all individual souls. The children need to know this. Jiva also also means "tiny". Atomic. One ten thousandth the size of the top of the hair. But God is paramatma. Super Soul. Vibhu. Greatest. Both at same. Individual souls. But we are 'anu", tiny. Atomic. But even the tiniest bit of spirit in the form of an individual soul is powerful enough to create or manifest anything one wants... Even a planet. Nay, a universe as the creator. Now wrap your mind around that. But God has created far, far, far, more with but a spark of his splendor. So let's forget about this bogus Adwaita philosophy that basically side-steps God once and for all. Vedic knowledge describes that we cannot die or be nullified no matter what. Jiva also means eternal. Sanskrit is like that. One word, several meanings. So we are all jivas. The jivatman. One tiny individual amongst innumerable uncountable souls. So many innumerable should that even God might not be able to count, least of all speak that number -- all of eternity would be long enough to speak that number. God's body radiates all energies of existence. Brahman is not the only energy (although it is superior to all. The material energy is inferior, as it decays and transforms over time.) So God is Number One! The Christians and Catholics, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, etc., they all know this. But no says the adwaitan. He says we must anhilate the self. Nonsense. Since we know that our individual existence can never become dissolved (nullified) into the body of God, Adwaita philosophy is correct in that we can remain "inside" the body of God eternally. But no one stays eternally anyway. So like a green bird in a green tree, both individuals remaing existent, the jiva can go into a type of eternal sleep trance. The religions of Jordan all stop there as well. Rest in peace, right? It's not Dance With God, right? So. No mental activity. Inside God's body. Individual Nada. But God is so kind he allows. We have free will. God does not take that away. But there are results and consequences. So he teaches us what's what so the results are the best. But what we like isn't generally what's best for us. Thankfully God knows what we really want. Himself. He's our Father. He is the Holy Spirit. And within our own heart, where we, the individual spirit soul, jivatma, he is also there as our eternal atomic-sized witness and companion. Paramatma. So when God wants to instruct us, what he likes for us (he outta know), when he decides to personally give us valuable knowledge -- and why wouldn't he? -- he succeeds. Right? If you believe. And he succeeds in the end whether you believe it now or not. God always wins! So he speaks the highest of all knowledge exactly perfectly tailored to the listener. He knows all the languages, you know? Now if you can accept that you can actually hear Him when he speaks to you, we will both need to assume that we've already achieved God consciousness, our natural state (which in not so easy a task, mind you). Otherwise we can't be able to hear him. We need to be aware of him when he's there. Like see him, even. So we can rest in blissful peace as long as we eternal jivatmas want. However merging into the body of the Lord is not the goal, nor what God wants. It's no fun for him. And neither for us...because it's the nature of the soul to express love, and that requires desire and action. That's what I mean when I say "fun". So to end desire and loving activities in bliss and full consciousness for non-activity, though the suffering is gone, is tantamount to spiritual suicide. Nullifying the "i". No more "me" any more. And then where will I be to enjoy endless floating bliss? So it's curious what Arvind Chitale said. Bhagavad-gita 15.7: "The living entities in this conditioned world are My eternal fragmental parts." We are eternally individuals. For anyone who wants to know -- and I think Mr. Chitale wouldn't argue -- technically speaking those who follow adwaita philosophy do not fully agree with Krishna in the Bhagavad-gita. In fact the adwaitans generally have issue with the entire tenth chapter ( vedabase.io/en/library/bg/10/ ) because therein Krishna says that he is the source of everything, and this includes what all adwaitans aim for above all, merging into the brahman, the universal spirit spread everywhere. Now all Hindus agree that this text, the Bhagavad-gita, is their "bible". It is arguably the topmost book summarizing the essence of Vedic knowledge as spoken by the greatest speaker himself, Lord Sri Krishna. In Bg text 15.15 Krishna says, "...By all the Vedas, I am to be known. Indeed, I am the compiler of Vedānta, and I am the knower of the Vedas." He does not say "brahman" is to be known. He does not say to merge into his effulgence is the goal of the Vedas. He says that He is to be known. The brahman comes out of God. You can see the reference here. In the Gita Krishna confirms by saying, "I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from Me. The wise who perfectly know this engage in My devotional service and worship Me with all their hearts." B.G. 10.8. vedabase.io/en/library/bg/10/8/. Brahman is included in "everything", and devotion to God in action is the highest goal, not merging in inaction. Adwaitans are therefore understandably confused about action in inaction and inaction in action. Adwaitans may worship Krishna for some time, because they accept him as an incarnation of Vishnu, and therefore a high-level Vedic authority at least deserving same respect as their precursor, Shankaracharya. Therefore, for the adwaitan, there is no scope to interact with God as an individual, dancing, singing, feasting with all other enjoyments, forever acting spiritually with spiritual bodies (vigraha - form). Does this sound attractive to you? Therefore the adwaitans, who are impersonalists, renounce God in the end. They even renounce the renunciation -- if they ever do get that far! Esoteric this may be, but this is essentially spiritual suicide. Awaitans follow Shankaracharya, an incarnation of Lord Siva (who is himself a follower of Krishna -- he meditates on Vishnu with his rudraksha beads, as do many adwaitans), who is second to Lord Vishnu, known as the Lord of the Universe. Siva is known as the destroyer, Brahma the creator and Vishnu as the one who instructs the two. Shankaracharya philosophy is not bonafide because it does not point to Bhagavan. Krishna has no need to meditate on God for he is God. The essence of adwaita philosophy is that we and God are the same -- one -- and ends there. No. We are not God, though we are the same in quality...that we are both spirit. But only God is God. Nor can we become God. Although we can indeed merge into the light that emanates from his spiritual body (made of brahman), we maintain our individual existence. This can be understood that just as a green bird in a green tree remains a green bird there is no merging into "oneness". The oneness that Dwaitans speak of is in purpose; eternal loving exchanges with God acting (action!) according to His will. Jesus understood this. Just as we can understand that the light of the sun is non-different from the sun (in a sense), we can also understand that the light that emanates from the sun is both dependent on the sun, for the sun is the source, the light is itself not the sun. Krishna informs that he is the source of "everything". Means everything...missing nothing. So we are eternally jivas. We are made of "brahman" just as Bhagavan is made of brahman. What we must remember is that brahman is not the source of Bhagavan; it is the inverse. The true Vedantist want to get to the source. Brahman is Sanskrit simply meaning "spirit". So according to the Bahagavad-gita we learn that dwaita philosophy means that were are the same only in QUALITY, brahman, eternal, blissful, but not in QUANTITY. We are all spirit souls. We are "anu", meaning tiny or insignificant souls, while God, Bhagavan, from which emanates brahman and everything else, is "param" or "vibhu", meaning great. God is great. Allah akbar. In other words we the eternal individual jivas as parts of God (this includes all the varieties of moving and non-moving living beings) are not meant to reunify into his body; we are meant to be one in consciousness. In purpose. Service. Love in action eternally. I like that better. How about you?

Sir, can u pls suggest me some good books for vedic literature

@@ankitatiwary2096 Hey. Of course. Above all one should start from the beginning with the Bhagavad-gita as translated and explained by a spiritual master who teaches the spiritual masters.

@@nickburak7518 thank you

@Nick Burak so very well stated however it is true that the truth cannot be spoken. Nor conceptualized. Having experienced Krishna Consciousness as a devotee,as you surely are, I choose rather the Advaita path and disillusion into Oneness (as if we had a choice). Before you judge me please take note of what the good Mr Cremo articulates at 18:20. And yes he is brilliant and wonderful by the grace of Lord Sri Krishna. Hari Bol

ŚB 11.14.9 मन्मायामोहितधिय: पुरुषा: पुरुषर्षभ । श्रेयो वदन्त्यनेकान्तं यथाकर्म यथारुचि ॥Translation O best among men, the intelligence of human beings is bewildered by My illusory potency, and thus, according to their own activities and whims, they speak in innumerable ways about what is actually good for people. Purport Unlike the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the individual living entity is not omniscient, therefore his activities and pleasures do not represent the whole truth. According to one’s individual way of doing things (yathā-karma) and one’s personal preference (yathā-ruci), one speaks to others about what is good for them. Everyone thinks, “What is good for me is good for everyone.” Actually, the best thing for everyone is to surrender to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Kṛṣṇa, and thus realize one’s eternal nature of bliss and knowledge. Without knowledge of the Absolute Truth, many so-called learned people are whimsically advising other whimsical people who also lack perfect knowledge of the actual goal of life. As long as the foolish spirit soul remains attracted to the material body, senses and vital force, his material existence continues to flourish, although it is ultimately meaningless.The living entity who falsely identifies with his body, senses, life air and mind, and who dwells within these coverings, assumes the form of his own materially conditioned qualities and work. He is designated variously in relation to the total material energy, and thus, under the strict control of supreme time, he is forced to run here and there within material existence. Although shadows, echoes and mirages are only illusory reflections of real things, such reflections do cause a semblance of meaningful or comprehensible perception. In the same way, although the identification of the conditioned soul with the material body, mind and ego is illusory, this identification generates fear within him even up to the moment of death. (Shrimad-Bhagavatam 11.28.12, 16 & 5) But then there is the soul who is wizened and humbled by innumerable failed attempts at staying happy in the sand castle, the soul who is gradually becoming aware of the in-built suffering of the material world, the soul willing to get to the root of it all. For such a soul, Krishna makes arrangements to impart genuine knowledge. He does this primarily through the Vedas. The Vedas are like an instruction manual for the souls in the material world. The Vedas tell us who we are, why the universe exists, and how to fulfill the purpose for which we exist. Krishna disseminates the Vedas throughout the universe, on different planets, and to different species. He does this with the cooperation of enlightened beings, who artfully impart essential truth according to the capacity of the audience and the particulars of the circumstance. Sometimes Krishna Himself descends to revitalise Vedic knowledge which is apt to be lost or misinterpreted with the passage of time. TEXT 5 ātman bhāvayase tāni na parābhāvayan svayam ātma-śaktim avaṣṭabhya ūrṇanābhir ivāklamaḥ SYNONYMS ātman (ātmani)-by self; bhāvayase-manifest; tāni-all those; na-not; parābhāvayan-being defeated; svayam-yourself; ātma-śaktim-self-sufficient power; avaṣṭabhya-being employed; ūrṇa-nābhiḥ-the spider; iva-like; aklamaḥ-without help.

No, it doesn't mimic anything.

MahaVishnu is also known as Karan- Udak- Shayi(KaranodakShayi) Vishnu or the Vishnu who lays down in Causal Ocean. When He breaths out million of universes exude out from the pores of His skin. Similarly when He breaths in , all the universes again shrink into His body through the same pores. Second expansion of Vishnu is "Garbh- Udak-Shayi (GarbhodakShayi) Vishnu or the Vishnu who lays down in universal ocean. He lays down in each universe ,which is filled half with water. From His naval, a lotus originates, which is resting place of Brahma. Then lord Vishnu again expands Himself as Kshir- Udak-Shayi( KshirodakShayi) Vishnu or the Vishnu who lays down in ocean of milk. This ocean is situated in too most corner of the universe. And all these facts are vividly explained in First canto of SrimadBhagvatam or Bhagvat Purana.

You and me we can discuss. I have links for you. Of course it is already too deep for most people. Just search RU-vid with this keyword: "vedic cosmos". The first five or six (dunno about waikeywaikey) are good ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HKKzzmhD3hg.html and this video )

And thanks to Dr Jaffery sir.

You have a few likes, so good for you. But Veda is Sanskrit for "knowledge". Of course physics in Vedic language doesn't sound anything like the physics lingo as we know it today. The Vedas incorporate all knowledge. Astronomy. Medical science (Ayurveda). Yoga. Architecture. Law and history and war science (with mantras that can change an arrow into almost anything, including an atomic bomb, etc.). Sacrifice ritual. Gods, demigods and the Supreme Reality. Basically it is said what cannot be found in any science is found in the Vedas and what cannot be found in the the Vedas does not exits. The Vedas are all encompassing and complete. Knowledge today (like physics today) is quite limited and speculative. Vedas is not.

It's a fiction of a single mans mind. Explains nothing at all...maybe only that illusion is real! lol

No, Tesla did not prove the theory of relativity to be wrong. No one has ever proved the theory of relativity to be wrong. All tests of it have succeeded. It is incomplete - at the quantum level it does not apply - but it never said it applied at the quantum level. When it is superseded by a unified theory that encompasses general and special relativity plus quantum theory, it will still be right - just less complete.

I've studied the Vedas for the last 20 years. It's immense, but one quickly gets the idea that everything is already understood from the Vedic view. Modernity has cast aside all the Vedic notions. People today, like myself, are rediscovering the vastness of the Vedic view. To answer your question... There is no natural selection and mutation in the sense of the Vedic concept of evolution. Mr. Cremo is saying that evolution is only about consciousness. One can advance or regress, evolve or devolve. A monkey does not become a human, no gives birth to one. The instruction set for procreation is only designed for that species and nothing more. We do not know who this happens... That link is missing. And yet the modern scholars nevertheless maintain their speculation. This is called "scientism", the "belief" that science will one day know. It will not. Now we know that mutations never create anything superior, only an aberration. Secondly we have never observed any creature give birth to a superior one, so that is why, in part, mutation only means a problem in the DNA replication. Darwins evolution isn't based on a problem of DNA; it's based on some random generator that follows just the two basic points you brought up, but it is missing something. That is the other part; consciousness. The last part that we all find difficult to accept is that there are 8,400,000 million different forms in the universe that were already created. In other words, nothing evolves from a single-cell body; it was created just as was the human body. It is the state of our consciousness and the summary of our karma that dictates which body we get. What really bends the mind is that science as we know it depends upon no God. It depends upon a random generator. It depends upon chance. It depends upon the completely ludicrous idea that nothingness was the cause of everything and that randomness and some other factors (natural selection, etc.) that have no physics carried things forward since then. The Vedic conception is the opposite. That is why in the Sanskrit dictionary there is no such word as "random" or "coincidence". Everything has a creator and purpose. Our deficiency is that we allow fools to lead us to think that nothingness is the superior factor. No. God is. Then evolution and natural selection (good looking wealthy strong man gets the woman) will make sense.

The answer to your first question is that the leaders of the Western world (including the Easter world now) are atheists giving us weapons of mass distraction. - Nothing never created anything. Nothing comes from nothing. Everything comes from God. This "nothing" that you speak of is spirit, and it has nothing to do with matter. Spirit is the cause...the Supreme Spirit, Krishna (from which expand Narayana and then Vishnu after that) - Creation is synonymous with manifestation. The spiritual world is neither the creation nor manifested; it was always existent. Eternal. That which is manifested or created will ultimately be destroyed. Therefore temporal. It is the universe that is created/manifested. Same meaning. - It's spelled "dwaita".
