When the Divine Dawn, Usha touches the mortal world, a new era begins and a new consciousness arises.  At that time, Usha together with the Divine Mother, Vanga, visits the world soul, Vishwadeva, hidden away in the lower vital plane in a secret corner of Bengal.  Usha sees her consort being kept under an iron control in a comatose condition by the hostile powers of the lower vital.  They hold him under constant bondage.  In this way, he remained unconscious of his own potential greatness and the role he had to play in the world.  Actually, we see the same image being replicated in our physical world. Humanity is completely unconscious of its glorious divine nature and ignorant of the immeasurable powers under its command.  In the Akhyana Mandala, we can read the tales of Gods like Brihaspati, the Guru of the Gods, the furious Rudra, the unknown Saraswana, and finally Hayagriva - the horse-headed God who appears just before the Golden Age to herald its coming.  We read how the great sacrificial ceremony of Daksha is devastated and turns into a disaster when Sati, daughter of Daksha and consort of Lord Shiva, immolates herself in the holy sacrificial flames.  This was such an earth shaking incident that it would have lead to the complete destruction of creation if Vishnu, as the Protector of the World, did not take up the task to defuse the situation.  Similarly, we come to know that Lakshmi did not suddenly appear at the churning of the oceans as it is generally believed.  She was in fact Brihaspati’s daughter, who on becoming disillusioned due to the rise of evil, decided voluntarily to leave this world by immersing herself in the Ocean of Brahma.  In the Bhaga Mandala, we see how the Gods manage to drive away the hostile and negative forces from the subtle planes and prepare for the coming of the Golden Age.  They bring back a touch of divine glory and joy.  This is the divine joy or ananda that is the main reason for this wonderful creation of ours. The inner path between the upper worlds and the mortal world opens up. We hear about the coming down of Bhaga as the son of Usha and Vishwadeva.  He is the God who brings delight into our daily life and spreads joy all around. With Vishwadeva, the World Soul, becoming aware and conscious, the long awaited Golden Age approaches nearer to the physical plane and we become progressively transformed.  Earth becomes like heaven and the Gods and human beings become like one.  When the human consciousness continues to develop further and approach divinity, the supramental world descends on the earth. Towards the latter part of this work, we go through the major part of the Indra Mandala.   Here we come to know how the mighty Indra, the Leader of the Gods, is compelled to take birth as a mortal being by the efforts of the Balkhilya Rishis.  These are the sons of Rishi Kanva, who remain for all time, as boys even though they have attained Brahma’s consciousness and are all powerful.  On observing this tiny yajna, the Gods laughed at these puny efforts to force mighty Gods like Indra, Surya and Chandra to descend down on the earth as normal human beings.  It appeared to them as if these little boys were merely playing a game of make believe amongst themselves.  But these insignificant looking boy Rishis possessed such power in themselves that they were finally forced to descend on the earth as mortal beings to begin the Golden Age, which would last for the next 13,000 years.  These Rishis provided instruction to Indra during his sleep.  There he recognized that he was not just a human being, but a mighty God.  In this way, his studies continue. In this volume, we come to know the significance of the “Aham Rhitam” mantra.
