1 Brahma Temple Pondicherry India History and cult 1. Who s Brahma? Bramha is the creator of the universe. He is the original principle. 2. What does original principle mean? He is the creator of every single form of life. 3. Where is Brahma s temple situated? Brahma s temple is located in Poundicherry, India. It is situated in a forest and still has no address or a listed path. 4. Since when does this temple exist? It has always existed in its initial form. 5. What is the goal of this temple? To honor life and to honor the world. 6. What is Brahma s prayer? Long life to life, long life to the world. 7. What day is is devoted to him? Every Thursday. It is the day of the week when the temple opens to its pious visitors. 8. Is it a religion? Yes, it is an integral part of India s hindouism. Brahma is unique and it s the creator, its veneration falls within both monotheist and polytheist approaches. 9. Why don t we talk about Brahma? The issue of the secret of birth comes when the intellectual maturity is build up. Can we explain silence through sound? Everything that lives is filled with Brahma. It remains in all of us. Happyness, love, sharing, it s talking about Brahma.
2 10. What does Creating god mean? Brahma isn t only the creator of every kind of life, it is also good and protector, in agreement with the goal of creation. 11. Is there any conflict between Brahma and other gods? Brahma carries the principles of both male and female. He is the ultimate solution for all unity, harmony and compassion. There is no conflict between him and other gods. There are only solutions and protection. Every presumed conflict is just an abstraction from common humans and their karma (cause and effect). Life is hanging to the perfect harmony of the three principles of creation, preservation and transformation (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva). 12. Why is Brahma the only god? Thanks to the Thapas (austere), good behaviour, quest and analysis, travels, meetings, questioning, one thousand and eight (1008) comparisons of studies show that life is precious. It is with Brahma that we can commit ourselves to never harm the body or spirit of life in any way. It is the very first goal of birth. 13. Why is there that few temples dedicated to Brahma? There actually are two answers to this question. First, its cult is secret and complex. The Brahma lives inside all of us. Our body is its temple. The spirit of creation doesn t require anything. It s here to make the abundance of all graces rain over us. Brahma created humans and the world for every one to live together in joy and sharing, preserving the continuance of life as long as possible. The expanding univers is its holy of holies. 14. What is the odness of Brahma s temple in Poundicherry? It owns two mulestanas (sanctuaries). One is terrestrial and the other is celestial. The terrestrial one stands for ants unity while the celestial one stands for bees one. The temple is very little. In the terrestrial sanctuary, the Brahma is on the floor, with no stone under it. It is the seed. The celestial sanctuary is located higher, where is the Brahma of all forgiveness. 15. What does The Brahma of all forgiveness mean? The Creator gives plain forgiveness to maintain peace and not threaten life in any way. 16. Is there an easy access to the temple in order to visit it? It is not a place to visit. It is a place of worship. There are rules to access to it. You must inform that you re coming in advance so someone will come and open the temple. The terrestrial naos of Brahma is visible and the celestial one is higher behind two doors. One opens on the right while the other opens on the left. Both doors must be opened so you can contemplate the Brahma of all forgiveness. This last is facing the North. Only the family of the founder owns the keys.
3 17. Why does the family of the founder own the keys? This temple is private, built by Mr. Richard Diagaradjane SADA from Poundicherry and the temple is the property of its prodgeny. This family owned the eternal flame. Closer disciples, devotees and insiders know the modalities to access the temple. 18. What kind of relationship exists between the temple and Mr. SADA? Mr. SADA is a yogi, he is awaken and mystical. It is told that Brahma himself devulged him his secret, how to build this sanctuary and that he gave him his will to re-establish the worship of Brahma and the salvation of humanity. He can be considered as the representative of the temple. 19. How to describe the temple? The main entry is situated on the North. The temple is composed of two parts : on the right, a sanctuary with all the indian pantheons so you can pray and worship. On the left, a little path gives access to Yama s throne. Yama is the god of death.you must walk through it to get to the second part of the temple, the terrestrial sanctuary which is Brahma s dwelling. 20. What is the Brahmar vanakkam? Boumi yey youm, prè panjè tay youm, nineÿnde. Of the earth and the Univers, I think. Valède, mouleï yey youm, idède mouleï yey youm, pinny. Right and left brain, I twine. Tandeï yey youm, taâhyey youm, neïde. My mother and my father, I weave. Aïnde boudengaley youm, aïnde arriveu-galey-youm, kouty. The five elements and the five senses, I assemble Brahma, ounney, vanengueguerén. Brahma, I hail you. 21. What is our invocation for Brahma? In the name of Brahma, I honor life, I honor the world. I will never harm or threaten in any way the body or the spirit of life. With all my possibilities, I will help to preserve life under any of its forms. 22. What is the sedan chair of Brahma? The pallakke in tamil is the sedan chair for Brahma s procession. Very mystically, 4 to 8 people carry the Brahma. Carriers can be men or women, it doesn t matter how old they are. They leave the
4 temple at 4 in the morning. They come back at 8. This procession can be moved to other places, cities or countries.it s must be done at dawn. 23. What happens during the procession? The 4 or 8 carriers are devotees. One whispers long life to life! Long life to the world!. The chair has bells that aren t very loud so it doesn t wake up the sleeping beings. History says that this practice already existed in the ancient time. This visit of Brahma in the world is silent. At the front, on the right, there is a leathered trunk to collect the alms. On the left, there is the eternal flame. In ancient times, the founder would walk from street to street with a representation of Brahma hanging to its neck and he would whisper long life to life! Long life to the world! in all Pondicherry. 24. Why is this procession so inconspicuous? Brahma s presence isn t something you claim, it s the same thing for where he will be. Its procession is unpredictable and it s not planned. The sun must not be fully raised. The Brahma and its cortege must not be seen in broad daylight. This procession isn t destinated to anything but giving grace to its creation. Most rules and ritual stay inside of the temple itself. 25. What is the Mother of the World? The Mother of the Worl is representated by a pregnant woman. It s a statue of Granit that is certainly one of a kind. The legend introduces her as forever pregnant and young. She carries life, terrestrial and celestial. The creation of life goes through her. The beliefs involved in the worship of Brahma say that she is the one that lives and comes out in every woman during pregnancy. To honor and to greet a pregnant woman is to honor and to greet the Mother of the World. In Brahma s temple in Poundicherry we help pregnant women in the name of the Mother of the World. We dispense milk for babies and young children. Yore, the temple had its own cows for that. 26. Are there miracles in Brahma s temple? Yes, there are countless. But here we re not talking about miracle healings. They are to everyone s appreciation. Every single request is made through praying. In the holy book of the temple it is said that the terrestrial Brahma, the celestrial one, the Brahma of health and the sanctuary of the Brahma of great forgiveness, plus some more which are inside the temple all have their own vertues and give their own graces but we don t disclose this secret. It is only requested to keep and live with the given gifts. The obtained benefits must not provoke any extravagance. Here the miracle is associated to prayer. 27. Are there times to pray? There are no collective prayers with Brahma. It is an individualy or a family gait. Any hour is good to pray Brahma. There is no precise hour. Prayer is realised in an acetic form, sober, with no ornaments. Most of the time, silence, abstinence of words, immersed into compassion for the world, prayer is orientated to the benefits of others in the name of abnegation.
5 28. Why should you go to Brahma s temple? To show thankfulness for your own birth or a child s one. It can also be about the birth of a business, a shop, an invention. Long ago, Brahma s sanctuaries were only made for that. 29. What is Laksmi Kudil? It is a sanctuary dedicated to the goddess of abundance. This gopuram is apart from the temple, located outside the enclosure, on the North side. The statue of Lakshmi faces the des, un direction of the Indian Océan. The legend says that in 1924 the godess Lakshmi appeared to the wise Vethathiri Maharishi - who had given her his prayer to meet his level and quality of dedication to spiritual secularism. This wise man was so secular and opposed to any kind of religious beliefs that he did not want to peddle this belief and this devotion. Yet, he made very good use of this appearance even without telling his disciples the secret of his mystical revelation. The one who receives this mantra as a gift can turn a medicant into a king. For an emperor, it gives him complete fullfillment of his true destiny. In 1984, Yogi SADA received from this wise man (among other initiations) the unique and full mantra sarvavasyadhanaagarsanam. It is this mantra that he wrote in 2004 on a Granit slab to everyone s vision so they all can enjoy its benefits. It is a mysterious work.
