Also detailed is the condition of the various Indian religions under the impact of Islam, deterioration in the cultures, together with a description of the general humanity and the condition of the masses.

During the Mughal period, Sri Gauranga was born in Bengal as an avatar of Prahlad, who spread Vaishnavism in India.  A short account of his life and its impact on different parts of India.

Then came the end of the Mughal rule and the invasion of the British, French, and Portuguese etc.  At that time, the Indian soul was completely lost and was influenced by foreign culture.  The World Soul was entirely unconscious; the dark and hostile forces were fully in control of life and were thus guiding the whole humanity.  Thus Nakta, Shukra, Shani and the snake king Arbuda were acting together with Kali and promoting the dark forces in the nature of human beings.  On seeing the pitiable condition of humanity, the immortals came to save the creation and to awaken the Rishis.  To awaken the Gods after their rest, the Rishis started their meditation.

21.  PRATISTHA MANDALA

The Rishis started to kindle the sacrificial flame with the Gods to invoke Satyadeva (Lord of Truth) to begin the Golden Age.  At this period, in divine association with some powerful Rishis, the Creators took up the task to lead the humanity towards divinity with their powers.  They established the Truth in the higher world and they descended from the Supermind to bring down new impetus, power, light and joy of the supramental plane.

22. APTYA MANDALA

Rishi Aptya, the Creator and father of Trita and Dwita, whose sons are responsible for the Two Ages, the Silver and the Bronze. Rishi Aptya descended with his power “Ambhrini” as Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Saradamoni.  Their lives, their sadhana, their work is described in this Mandala.  Among his disciples, Swami Vivekananda was influenced with the power of Dwita.  There are details about his life, his works and also a discussion between him and his disciple Nivedita.

After leaving this mortal world, Rishi Aptya (Ramakrishna) appeared in front of the Creator Kashyapa and described his work amongst humanity and also the situation prevalent at that time.  On hearing this, the Creator Kashyapa decided to come to the mortal world himself and take humanity towards the divine light.

23.  KASHYAPA MANDALA

Subsequently, Kashyapa, the Divine Creator (father of all the Supramental Godheads) descended with his power Aditi.  There is a description of his descent and the choice of the place for his manifestation in the external world.  There is an account of the birth of Sri Aurobindo (an avatar of Kashyapa, the Divine Creator) and a sketch of his mortal life, his education, marriage, political activities, imprisonment and realization of the Krishna consciousness in the jail.  Subsequently, there was his detachment from political activity, his sadhana at Pondicherry and his efforts to bring down and establish the Supramental on the earth.  After completing his work in the human world, he returned back to the higher world to push the Divine Dawn towards the earth.  The world would in this way escape from the Dark Night of Kali and see the Divine Dawn upon the earth.

In this Mandala, there is a description of how India achieved independence and the work of the Indian Leaders.

24.  ADITI MANDALA

Aditi is the Mother of all Supramental Godheads – Indra, Chandra, Mitra-Varuna, Brihaspati, Vayu, Agni and Surya.  She is therefore called the Divine Mother.  Aditi descends to open the path so that the Supramental Godheads could come back to the earth.  Her work in the mortal world is to clearly differentiate between the divine and the undivine and show humanity the path of immortality.  She is the only power, who holds the activities of the Supramental Godheads in her eternal nature.

She takes birth as a human being to guide the humanity towards the divine, to become prepared, to accept the Truth and to enter into the Golden Age where the human being achieves the immortal life, the life divine.

She chose to take birth in Egypt in a family, where her father was Turkish and the mother Egyptian.  Later on, the family migrated to France and she developed spiritually on the basis of eastern tenets.  There is a short description of her birth and previous life in Yoga before she met Sri Aurobindo and accepted his sadhana.  She took up the responsibility of his work to manifest the divinity in human nature through the formation of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry.  She was constantly fighting the hostile and negative forces to manifest herself as the Divine Mother in order to facilitate the entry of her Divine Children, the seven Supramental Godheads, into the mortal world.

There is a detailed account of her immense work, although to the human mind, she remained in a limited area.  Her work is for the whole humanity.  But the human beings did not understand it. It is like the sick or sleeping child not realizing the deep love that the mother bestows upon it while she holds him in her lap. Similarly, the Divine Mother is nursing the whole humanity.  One day, the humanity will become conscious, see the marvellous Mother and enter into divine bliss.

25.  UDDYAMA MANDALA

In this Mandala, there is a vivid description about the manifestation of the present epic – Devayan - and how Pingal Maheshwara decided to bring it down.  There is a discussion between Kashyapa and Pingal about the necessity of the epic and its quality, scope, rhythm and language. For manifesting the epic Devayan, three great personalities divided the task as follows:

1. Pingal took the work of bringing the poetic flow towards manifestation.  The flow of words had the same force as a waterfall from the mountain to the earth.

2. Kashyapa, with his great power, controlled the flow so that a human consciousness could receive it and guided it slowly towards expression.

3. Siddhidata facilitated the expression of the epic, removed all deformations and difficulties for the expression.

After the completion of Devayan, Kashyapa withdrew again to the higher plane, where the sacrificial fire had been kindled before.  He started the ceremony of Ambrosia or Amrita, the divine wine.  There is a superb description of the ceremony of Amrita (the divine nectar) with the participation of Satyadeva together with all the Godheads and Rishis.  At that ceremony several Rishis sang immortal songs for the Soma Devata.

After drinking ambrosia, Satyadeva, or the Lord of Truth became prepared for the new creation.  With the guidance of the Rishis, he clasped to himself the Vitihotra (humanity’s aspiration for Truth).  With this identification, the Divine Dawn opens before the astonished mortal world.

26.  USHA MANDALA

Here is described the birth of Usha, the Divine Dawn and her brother Pusha, the valiant warrior who is responsible for the manifestation of Usha in the world.  Pusha conquers the dark forces of Nakta, Kali, Shani, Shukra, and Arbuda etc.  Stories are included about their early days, play, education and the commencement of their journey towards the world.  By the touch of Usha, the World Soul, Vishwadeva, awakens from an unconscious deep sleep in the humanity.  A ray of Vedic light touches the humanity.

27. AKHYANA MANDALA

Some unmanifested secrets of Vedic Truth, which are going to manifest at the time of the Golden Age. Here are some descriptions of the two daughters of Brihaspati - Laxmi and Dakshayani. Brihaspati had married Dakshina (daughter of Parabrahman) – Brihaspati gave Laxmi to Vishnu and Dakshayani to Daksha.

1. Here is given a description of the marriage of Laxmi with Vishnu. They exist eternally with their love of ananda – there is no creation; they have no children.

2. Next the description of marriage of Dakshayani with Daksha, who have hundred daughters (powers). All were married to supramental Godheads.  The Supramental Godheads became Creators with these Powers (Shaktis).  The last daughter of Daksha, Sati, was given to Maheshwara and there is one child “Ganesh, Brahmanaspati or Siddhidata”.  On feeling her husband insulted, she destroys her body through the sacrificial flame of Daksha, her own father.  Again, the same power takes form through the mountains and she takes the name of Parvati and goes towards Maheshwara for identification.  As the Gods need to enhance their military power, she gives birth to another child Kartikeya, who becomes the Divine Commander in Chief for the three Ages (Trita, Dwita, and Kali).

3. After Daksha’s sacrifice, the sacrifice, which was destroyed by Rudra - “the Mahakāla”; Daksha took the form of Hayagriva for the change of time, from bad to good.  So he manifests at the end of Kali, to help to manifest Truth upon the earth.  A description of his life and actions.

4. An account of the Godhead Saraswan (the Purusha part of action in the manifestation of the Divine Truth) with his power Saraswati.

5. Tales of the Godhead Sinibalya with his power Sinibali.  This is the power, which out of the unformed nature creates the child in the mother’s womb.  This is his task in the divine creation of the physical form.

6. A description of the Godhead Gangu with his power Ganga, who provide communication between the higher to the lower level as well for the purification of the lower existence into the higher. They also participate in the divine communication between the manifested and unmanifested Truth.

7. Then there is an account of the plane of the ancestors, or fathers “Pitriviya” through which the subtle being takes form and then proceeds to its mortal parents.  There are descriptions of other Godheads in the manifestation of Truth.

28.  BHAGA MANDALA

In this book, there are details about the awakened world soul, Vishwadeva, his actions and the power he exerts on the human mind.  The establishment of his kingdom with the power of Satyadeva, the Lord of Truth, his acceptance of the Divine Dawn, Usha, and his identification with her.

Then there comes the description of Taranta, a son of Vishwadeva and Usha.  He fights with the help of divine Truth and conquers the enemy on the vital plane.  He establishes Truth on the vital plane.  Then follows the influence of Bhagadevata, who controls and guides hunger, thirst and sleep and brings joy to suffering humanity. 

Vaidadashwi and Purumilha who bring Truth to the physical plane and give strength to humanity.

29. INDRA MANDALA

To manifest the supramental king on the earth in the form of a human figure and to prepare for a divine kingdom upon the earth, the three Supramental Godheads (Indra, Surya and Chandra) came first upon the earth.  First, a sacrificial flame was lit by the BalkhilyaRishis (the wise boys, who have gathered spiritual knowledge from the time they were boys, and who then remained like innocent boys).  Then through this sacrificial fire, the Supramental Godheads manifested as human figures.  There are stories about their birth and how they grew up.

Then follows the description of the activities of the four Manus (They exist above humanity for creation of the new race).

The birth of Indra as Darbhya, Surya as Youvanashwa and Chandra as Kirtya.  They were born in different parts of India, as before.  With their activities, the divine royalty manifests the glory, power and unity.  Then humanity merges in the divine kingdom and in turn manifests the divine kingdom upon the earth.

30. VASU MANDAL

Vasukra, the son of Darbhya, takes birth as a divine man on the earth.  He reigns as the Divine King and starts the Golden Age.  Then follows a description of his divine birth, his early life, his boyhood with divine play.  He learnt all the spiritual creeds with divine guidance.  Then follows the manifestation of the divine kingdom and his knowledge.  His Queen does not take a natural birth.  She takes form from the ethereal water and is called Urnavati.  There follows an account of their marriage and the coronation of King Vasukra.  With the reign of King Vasukra, the earth enters under the full influence of the Golden Age (Satyayuga).

There is also an account of his activities on the earth under the guidance of Truth.  The effect of Truth could also be seen through the immunity that he enjoyed in his life and body.  Immunity in life manifests because life continues for a thousand years.  After completing a thousand years and keeping the memory of earth’s nature as the only movement, he ascended to a higher plane.  In this way, Vasukra transformed mortal death, by departing with his body to heaven.

After Vasukra, his son Vasukrid, came directly with his divine body to the earth.  With this event, the sexual way of taking birth was changed.  In this way, he brought immortality to the world.  Human beings came and went from heaven to earth by stopping birth and death.

Vasukrid is then followed by Vasukarna, Vasurochisa, Vasuyuba, Vasushruta, Vasuna, and Vasumana.  They all ruled over the earth for a thousand years each.  In this way, the eight Vasus rule over the earth for eight thousand years.  For this period, the earth remains immortal, immune, unchanged, without birth and death. Then comes a change.

31. VRISHNU MANDAL

Then follows the narration of the kingdom of Rohidashwa (not identical with King Harishchandra’s son), son of Vasumana, an incarnation of Ashwadevata who arose from the water having a human figure by the tapasya of Vasumana.  He was supreme on the earth for five hundred years.  Rohidashwa is followed by Traivrishnu, his son who takes a human form through the sacrificial flame and in an incarnation of Vishnu, the Preserver.  He also rules for five hundred years.  During his reign, the anti-divine again becomes active and the Demons start taking birth as human beings.  From this time onwards, human birth again starts upon the earth.

After Traivrishnu, comes his son, Traiaruna, an incarnation of Aruna, the Sun God.  The Puranas describe him as a divine bird.  He can take human form by his will power.  Those who have such powers are called Kamarupabihanga.  He also ruled for five hundred years.  During his reign, the fight started between the Gods and the Demons.  Traiaruna had hundred sons.

Purukutsya, the eldest amongst his sons, follows Traiaruna.  In the time of Purukutsya’s reign, also lasting for five hundred years, birth starts through the sexual way.  There occurs a great battle at that time.

32.  SOHAN MANDALA

In this Mandala, there are details about King Chitra, son of Purukutsya, his noble character, his victory in the war against the undivine.  After his victory, he starts the Ashwamedha, horse sacrifice ceremony for world peace but this was disturbed by the asuric influence.  He ruled for five hundred years.

Asuric forces overwhelmed King Venya, son of Chitra.  He did penance for the help of Lord Vishnu.  Through Vishnu’s manifestation, the Demons were killed and he became again the ruler of the earth.  He reconstructed his royal city called Venyapuri (later on changed to Vangapuri).  He ruled for five hundred years. 

King Prithu, his son, who was so powerful that he had no enemies, followed him.  In India we still call the earth Prithvi after him.  Then came King Sagar, his son, he wanted to manifest love as coming from humanity.  As love does not come from this source, the whole family was destroyed by the curse of Kapila.  One of his sons, Asamanja, who had been doing penance, was saved from this catastrophe.  He returned to the palace to obtain an heir to the throne.  On obtaining a child, Anshumana, Asamanja withdrew again after thirty years to the forest to continue his penance.

King Anshumana, son of Asamanja, started his austerity to bring down to the earth level love from the divine spheres.  After about hundred years of efforts, he did not succeed in bringing down the divine love and he died.

King Bhagirath, son of Anshumana, started his meditation again and he brought down the love and ecstasy from the Supreme, by bringing down the Ganga upon the earth.  King Venya brought down the power and King Bhagirath the love from the Supreme. 

King SohanSohanvarta, his son who was an incarnation of Hayagriva, succeeded him.  His manifestation was through sacrifice and he expressed the secret knowledge upon the earth.  Again a divine human being moved upon the earth.  He ruled the earth for five hundred years. 

Then came the reign of King Suratha, son of King Sohanvarta and his kingdom. He was driven out of his kingdom and took shelter in the forest of Medhas Muni.  With him, the Golden Age came to an end and Satyadeva the Lord of Truth disappeared from the creation. Under the influence of the dark forces, the King had to face immense suffering in the forest.  He did penance for the Divine Mother and received a boon to recover his kingdom again.  Then comes an account of his return and how the worship of Mother Durga was spread throughout his kingdom.  At that time Mandhata, son of Muchukunda, became powerful and ruled over the earth.

Subsequently, follow the descriptions of the life, reign, wars and the events in the rulers of the Sun dynasty, namely King Mandhata, King Youvanashwa and King Harit.  King Harit is the father of King Harishchandra who was the first king of the Trita Yuga, or Silver Age.

In the last chapter or Sanvarga of this mandal, there is a conversation between Pingal Maheshwara and Lord Ganesh.  He thanks the Maheshwara for providing deep insight into events which had been lost and forgotten in time.  Pingal Maheshwara instructs Ganesh how to keep the epic safe from negative forces.

This is the full ‘AYANA’ .   From Satyayuga to Satyayuga that is the Devayana.

From King Vasukra to King Suratha is the Satyayuga (Golden Age) about thirteen thousand years.

From King Mandhata to King Harit – transition period of Satyayuga to Tritayuga.

From King Harishchandra to King Lava – about six thousand years, Tritayuga (Silver Age)

From the King Dyumna to Queen Savitri - transition period of Tritayuga to Dwita (Bronze Age).

From King Nahush to King Parikshit – approximately four thousand years, Dwaparayuga (Bronze Age)

From King Janmejaya to King Brihadratha – Dwapara transiting to Kaliyug (Iron Age).

From King Shishunaga to the complete disappearance of kingdoms in the world – lasting nearly three thousand and three hundred years ,Kaliyug (Iron Age)

In place of kings and kingdoms, there arise many ‘ISMS’. To discover Truth, one scrutinizes everything through the scientific eye. What cannot be proved in the laboratory is completely discounted.  Matter is all supreme.  Only what is available in the history books, or what the historians confirm, is considered correct.

Humanity yearns for a king to rule the whole earth, as they are increasingly disappointed by experiencing the continuous clashes between many states.  They also wish for peace and unity that was unattainable by the many “isms”.

When the laboratories and factories fail to satisfy humanity through their immense production of varied machinery, weapons, astonishing and increasing daily necessities, still the main desire of humanity to achieve unity and peace remains unfulfilled.  Then appears a ray of hope in the East and the divine royalty establishes the Rule of the Gods, which brings real unity and peace.

When humanity feels tired to exist in an atmosphere where there is no belief in Gods, when many demi Gods exist and who with their egoistic consciousness and their egoistic influence, contradict each other and their isms, - when humanity wishes for one simple way, in which they can depend on themselves.

When humanity wishes to surrender willingly their tired mind, life and body, to someone who is reliable, who can bear the burden of humanity, who can love the people under him as the father loves his children? When people become so helpless, they call from their innermost being for help and ask to, “manifest before us who has real love for the humanity”.

At that time a voice arises, “I am here, O tired humanity, O helpless humanity, not outside. I am here inside in the depth of your heart.  I am the world soul, I am the king of all, depend upon me.  Give me all your worries and I will guide you all”.

When these words of the world soul is heard by suffering humanity, then the aeon changes.  At that time the Truth Light touches the earth, - and the divine kingdom manifests in the world.

This Divine Royalty disappears when the influence of Truth wanes in humanity. – It reappears with the manifestation of Truth.  That is why, in anicent times in India and elsewhere, the kings were worshipped as a Divine Personality.
