Something is brewing in California. Can you feel it?


This is a very different message than what you are used to from me. I am asking you to not be offended, but maintain the core essence of what is needed in this time: we all unite together, with our differences. It is the only way we can defeat the elites.

Don’t allow divisions, but remain as one, despite the many colors of our backgrounds.

That being said, this is a message for people in California. Something is about to happen there, that is very exciting, and it will have a major impact.

Let me explain what is going on… If you are not used to the reality of supernatural dreams, in which divine messages are delivered to people, then this may be new to you. Again, don’t let it put you off. This message is for those among you that know what I am talking about, and who can accept it. The others can simply disregard it.

My wife and myself are used to receiving many dreams from God over the past 25 years. Our lives have been saved, dangerous people have been exposed, pitfalls have been revealed, our own errors have been highlighted, and critical directions for our lives were given…. all in dreams.

We have seen future events in dreams, that took place exactly as what was shown to us during those visions in the night, and we have been given intimate personal details about others, that saved their marriage or life.

For decades we have been receiving dreams that were lifesaving and lifechanging. If you don’t believe in this profound reality, then just let it go.

Supernatural dream about California

A while ago I had one of the most powerful dreams in my life. It was not a normal dream. This was not the result of my subconscious mind playing games, but it was a supernatural experience. I was taken to a different place in the spiritual dimensions, while I was asleep.

This is the power of dreams: we are in total surrender and the Creator can tell us what He wants, and move us to locations as He wishes, because we don’t resist.

In that vision I was suddenly teleported from Colorado to California. It happened in the blink of an eye. All of a sudden I found myself in a different world. As I moved about, I noticed a deep blue sky and palm trees. ‘I am in California!’ I thought in amazement. As I went on, I saw a large shopping mall, which I entered.

Inside that large building, I noticed a young man. He was tall, young, slim and Afro-American. With big wide open eyes, he was staring about himself. In the midst of this busy shopping center, he just stood still, tall and erect, observing everything.

I walked up to him and he didn’t even look at me. He kept looking about himself, with his big glaring eyes.

Then he spoke:

‘SOMETHING IS BREWING…’

I was puzzled.

I left him and went into the shopping mall. After a while I came back to this same young man. He was still standing there, silent, observing, like a human antenna, sensing…

He repeated the same words:

‘Something is brewing.’

‘Can’t you feel it?’

‘Everybody feels it.’

The words made a deep impact on me.

‘Something is brewing. Everybody feels it…’

I then left that shopping mall. At the side of the road was a church and I entered it.

The next moment I was ministering (for decades I have been a christian minister in Europe). I stretched out my hand towards the people, and an incredible flow of the power of God came through me. It was unbelievably strong.

That same moment I woke up in my bed. My entire body was trembling because of the supernatural power of God… and I was weeping, because I was so overcome by this glorious force from Heaven.

The dream gave a clear message: there is about to be a powerful move of God in California, and He wants us to go there to minister.

Several months later I received a second dream, in which I was told to visit a conference here in Colorado. The dream said:

‘In this conference you will receive direction about California’.

That conference happened last weekend. To our surprise several speakers at the conference were from California. They talked about a spiritual connection between California and Colorado, and a great move of God that is about to come to America.

Exactly what my dream was about… I was amazed…

I had no idea, beforehand, that this would be the theme of this conference. I was just told, in the second dream: ‘Go to this conference, because you will receive direction about California’. Turns out the conference was all about a coming move of God in America, with lots of talk about California.

When we drove back home, I got a text message from a friend in California. Guess what he texted me?

‘America needs a genuine, good old fashioned revival’.

He even asked me:

‘Can you come to California?’

What is also fascinating is that recently we discovered that 60% of all our readers is from California. 150,000 people!

All this is blowing me away.

My wife and I have decided to be obedient and start taking steps towards this. Sending this email is one of those first steps.

If you are a church or ministry leader in California, and you feel a stirring in your heart, then feel free to contact us. Email to david@stopworldcontrol.com. We want to make connections and see what happens.

Our plan is to visit California in the coming week or weeks, build relationship with people, scout the land, pray, and be sensitive.

I want to ask all people of prayer to pray for us. There are many forces who would want to prevent this from happening. Your prayers are valued.

We know there is a second pandemic being planned, and God wants to do the opposite: pour out life, healing and deliverance.

May the plans of the Almighty succeed.

In Jesus’ name,

David Sorensen

Uttara Kanda of Ramayana was edited during 5th century BCE

Uttara Kanda, the 7th part of Ramayana is generally attributed to Maharshi Valmiki.

Ramayana was originally composed as itihaasa in 6 kanda (parts). Bala Kanda of original ramayana describes Valmiki composing twenty four thousand verses and taught them to Lava and Kusha, the sons of Rama and Seetha. The two youngsters sing the ballad among the assemblages of sages and saints, and win laurels. Rama on seeing the boys singing on the streets and king’s ways of Ayodhya, brings them to his palace, and summons all his brothers and ministers to listen to the ballad. Rama himself is put to the turmoil, for the ballad sung by these youngsters narrates the legend of Seetha. But he himself collecting his calm, Rama paid his attention to listen the ‘Legend of Seetha‘ (seethaayaH charitam mahat) as Valmiki calls Ramayana.

काव्यं रामायणं कृत्स्न्नं सीतायाश्चरितं महत् |
पौलस्त्यवधमित्येवं चकार चरितव्रतः || १-४-७

Valmiki with observed sacred vows has rendered the entire epic in the name of ‘Ramayana‘, ‘Sublime Legend of Seetha‘ (seethaayaH charitam mahat) and ‘elimination of Ravana‘ (poulyastha vadha).
These 2 names were initially considered before Ramayana was finalized.

Towards the end of Yuddha Kanda (6th part), Valmiki descibes Rama’s coronation as the King of Kosala Kingdom and very briefly about the happy life of the people under his reign.

सर्वे लक्षणसम्पन्नाः सर्वे धर्मपरायणाः ||
दशवर्षसहस्राणि रामो राज्यमकारयत् | (६-१२८-१०६)

All the people were endowed with excellent characteristics. All were engaged in virtue. Rama was engaged in the kingship thus for few tens of years.

(Here Sahasra does not actually mean 1000, but multiple).

In the fag end slokas of Yuddha Kanda PHALA SRUTI, the result of reading Srimad Ramayana, was described.

धर्मयं यशस्यमायुष्यं राज्ञां च विजाअवहम् ||
आदिकाव्यमिदं चार्षं पुरा वाल्मीकिना कृतम् |
पठेद्यः शृणुयाल्लोके नरः पापात्प्रमुच्यते || (Yuddha Kanda 128 Sarga 107-108 Slokas)

Translation : In this world, whoever person reads and listens to this foremost lyric derived from the speech of a sage, which is endowed with righteousness, conferring fame and longevity, fetching victory to kings and as written at first by Valmiki, that person is delivered from all misfortune.

श्रुत्वा रामायणमिदं दीर्घमायिश्च विन्दति |
रामस्य विजयं चैव सर्वमक्लिष्ठकर्मणः || (Yuddha Kanda 128 Sarga 112 Sloka)

Translation : On hearing this epic of Ramayana and all the episode of victory of Rama, who was unweary in his actions, a person gets longevity to life.

विनायकाश्च शाम्यन्ति गृहे तिष्ठन्ति यस्य वै |
विजयेत महीं राजा प्रवासि स्वस्तिमान् भवेत् || (Yuddha Kanda 128 Sarga 116 Sloka)

Translation : Whoever carefully listens to the epic in his house, all obstacles come to an end. A king conquers the earth. A person staying away from home, fares well.

Valmiki composed Ramayana with approximately 24000 slokas in Anustup chhand (meter in sama veda music).

All parayana books end with Phala Sruti, which describe the result of reading a Sacred Text.

This phala sruti is at the end of composition, not in the middle.

If Valmiki intended to write Uttara Kanda at later stage, he would not have added phala sruti in the end of Yuddha Kanda.

The incident of Rama’s sons Kusa and Lava growing up at Valmiki hermitage and learning to Sing Ramayana is true as it was described by Valmiki himself at begining of Bala Kanda.

But there are many stories in Uttara Kanda, which prove that it is a Prakshipta (edited and added at later date).

To add more spice to a fictitious story, cinema and TV series have added more drama. The scene of fight between Washerman and his wife, where he blames Rama for bringing back seetha from lanka, does not even exist in Uttara Kanda of Ramayana.

One day seetha herself expresses desire to spend few days at a hermitage, far away from city. Rama agrees to send her to Valmiki ashram next day.

Same night Rama learns from his spies (Bhadra) about people discussing in general, how Rama could bring his wife back after she lived for 1 year in Lanka.

Seetha is sent with Lakshmana, who leaves her on the opposite bank of river Ganga in Valmiki ashram.

Seetha reaches Valmiki ashram with gifts for men and women living there. She is pregnant at that time and is sent well prepared to stay there.

After few days, Rama’s younger brother Satrughna decides to attack Lavanasura, who killed their ancestor Mandhata and was ruling Madhuvan.

Satrughna, on his way reaches Valmiki hermitage and stays there for a night.

Same time, Seetha delivers twin kids. Valmiki wipes them with kusa grass (dharbha) and names with Kusa (grass root) and Lava (grass tip).

 

Satrughna forms city of Mathura

Satrughna offers clothes and gifts for new born kids and leaves towards Madhuvan (forest).

He kills Lavanasura, forms a new city in the name of dead asura as Madhura (Mathura) and rules for 12 years.

When he desires to visit his brother Rama, he stops at Valmiki hermitage on the way.

By this time, Kusa and Lava are 12 year old kids, who learnt to sing Ramayana.

He listens to their singing and takes them to Ayodhya, where they enter by singing it in streets.

Satrughna brings them to Rama, who listens to his own story and says Srimad ().

Kusa and Lava stay back with Rama, who decide to perform Aswamedha Yagna (Horse worship). Few editions and misinterpretations have tried to conclude that Aswamedha is horse sacrifice or animal sex, just to generate self-hatred among vedic followers.

Rama performs Aswamedha Yagna, towards the end of which Seetha is brought back to Ayodhya, and she decides to leave permanently to Rasatala (not into the earth as shown in cinema/TV).

Many cinema and TV series tried to project fake stories such as Lava Kusa catching the Horse and later all 4 brothers (Rama, Lakshmana, Bharata, Satrughna) along with Hanuman fighting and losing against them!

When Satrughna knew them from valmiki ashram, how will he again fight without recognising them?

Also, how will 12 year old kids defeat warriors who killed thousands of asuras in forest and Lanka.

In later parts, Rama and Lakshmana discuss backstories of Vaali, Ravana etc.

In Sundara Kanda (5th part), Vibhishana trying to stop Ravana in ordering killing of Hanuman, says there was no precedence, of killing messenger.

वैरूप्याम् अन्गेषु कश अभिघातो |
मौण्ड्यम् तथा लक्ष्मण सम्निपातः |
एतान् हि दूते प्रवदन्ति दण्डान् |
वधः तु दूतस्य न नः श्रुतो अपि || (Sundara Kanda 52 Sarga 15 Sloka)

Translation : Some of the punishments to an envoy are-deforming the limbs, striking with a whip, shaving the head and impressing marks on the body. Indeed, we have not heard at any time of killing a messenger.

Vibhishana was saying just One month before Great Battle that took place in Lanka. He was saying that till then there was no precedence of Killing a messenger.

But, 13 th Sarga of Uttara Kanda describes about killing of the messenger of Kubera by Ravana.
This was done when Ravana occupied Lanka from Kubera and was at war with many kingdoms at his younger age.

How can Vibhishana mention that a doot (messenger) was never killed in history. This proves that a fake incident was inserted in Uttar Ramayan by someone later.

Fag end slokas of Yuddha Kanda described that While Rama was ruling the kingdom, people survived for many years, with multiple progeny, all free of illness and grief. And, old people did not perform obsequies concerning youngsters.

निर्दस्युरभवल्लोको नानर्थः कन् चिदस्पृशत् |
न च स्म वृद्धा बालानां प्रेतकार्याणि कुर्वते || (Yuddha Kanda 128 Sarga 100 Sloka)

Translation : The world was bereft of thieves and robberies. No one felt worthless nor did old people perform obsequies concerning youngsters.

Any father performing last rites of his kids is considered as lack of dharma in kingdom. Valmiki Ramayana says that no such incident happened.

But Uttara Kanda of Ramayana (73 – 76 sargas) mentions an incident where a Brahmin walks in with his dead son and blames Rama for lack of ‘Dharma’ in his rule.

Upon premature death of his son, the bereaved father carried his body to the gate of Rama’s court, and placing it there, cried aloud and bitterly reproached Sri Rama for the death of his son, saying that it must be the consequence of some sin committed within his realm, and that the king himself was guilty if he did not punish it; and finally threatened to end his life there by sitting on a dharana (hunger-strike) against Sri Rama unless his son was restored to life.

Sri Rama thereupon consulted his council of eight learned Rishis, and Narada amongst them told him that some Sudra among his subjects must have been performing Tapasya (ascetic exercises), and thereby going against Dharma !

His ministers and rishis conclude that only Brahmins have right to do tapasya and any Soodra doing it will cause such adharma.

Rama goes out in his Vimana and finds a sudra named Sambooka, who was doing tapasya while hanging upside down from a tree.

Rama enquires about his details and then beheads him!

This incident was inserted at later date, when someone wanted to create self-hate among vedic practitioners and convert them into some other faith.

Manu Smriti 2.136 states that one earns respect due to wealth, company, age, actions and knowledge in increasing order. There is no mention of family, gotra, caste, lineage and other non-factors to demand or earn respect.

Manu Smriti 10.65 asserts that Brahmin can become Shudra and Shudra can become Brahmin. Similarly Kshtariyas and Vaishyas can also change their Varnas.

So, varna was not constant that stays till end of life. One can change varnas by their actions. There are many who did tapasya irrespective of their birth.

Even asuras did tapasya and got boons.

To add more spice to his story, the writer even inserted that once Sambooka was beheaded at a distant place down south, the dead Brahman boy in distant Ayodhya began to breathe again ! Such a miracle was not even imagined by cinema writers.

To add further, gods rained flowers on the king from their joy at his having prevented a Shudra from gaining admission to their celestial abode through the power of the Tapasya which he had no right to perform.

But, animals, insects, reptiles could attain higher abodes and even salvation (SriKalaHasti), whereas a human is unfit to do so.

There are multiple names given to children born from parents of different varnas. Brahmin father – Kshatriya mother gives birth to suta (who writes and maintain books).

Vaisya father – sudra mother gives birth to karaNa.

Dasaratha was cursed by one rishi, whose karaNa kid died due to his arrow. If king Dasaratha had rights to kill a non-brahmin for doing tapasya, then curse would be invalid.

But he took the curse and felt sorry for his actions.

This incident proves that any varna born can do tapasya.

Sabari was a tribal lady, who became an anchoress and was performing tapasya in anticipation to meet Rama.

This Sambooka story was just inserted to create differences and self hatred, which can help in internal division and religious conversions.

In the same way, Rama did not get ‘Brahma Hatya Patakam‘ by killing Ravana.

This Ravana was born to a rishi Visravasa and unmarried kshatriya lady Kaikasi. He took up ruling a kingdom like his maternal relatives.

So he was concluded to be a Kshatriya ruler.

In Mahabharata, Vidura was born to rishi Vyasa and a maid. He was neither treated as a brahmin, nor as kshatriya, but only as a servant by his brothers.

He was made minister/advisor for his knowledge.

Same way, Paandu and Dhritarashtra were considered kshatriyas because of their mothers, but their biological father Vyasa was never considered.

Rama installed a Siva Linga at Rameswaram before commencing the war. If there was ‘Brahma Hatya Dosha‘, he would have immediately installed one more in Lanka or on the way. But he never did and was in a hurry to reach Nandigrama to prevent Bharata from committing suicide after completion of 14 years.

In Mahabharata, 272-289 Sections of Vana Parva, the story of Sri Rama was narrated to Yuddhistara by Sage Markandeya. Though the story contains minor variations compared to the story told in the Srimad Ramayana, those episodes describe the story of Sri Rama in full.

However, the sage Markandeya ends the story of Sri Rama in 289 Section of Vana Parva of Mahabharata with the coronation of Sri Rama as the king of Kosala Kingdom. No mention was made therein the story of UTTARA KANDA !

Another insertion in Uttara Kanda is Dog-Brahmin story.

One day a bleeding dog walks into Rama’s court and complains that a monk named Sarvardhasiddha hit him on head without any reason.

Brahmin monk is called upon, who says that he did not get any Bhiksha (alms) since morning, so hit the dog on his way in frustration.

Rama asks Vasishta, Kasyapa, Angirasa, Bhrigu, Kutsa etc rishis in his court and they conclude that brahmin should not be punished.

Dog asks Rama to appoint Sarvardhasiddha as Kulapati (head of a shrine/mutt) in Kalanjar.

Minister think this not a punishment but promotion to that brahmin.

Dog concludes that it held similar post in its past life.

Dog says : “After performing daily pooja activities, donating to servants, feeding the guests, i used to eat.

Also i used to protect the money of organization (Mutt) sincerely.

If a honest mutt owner like me becomes dog in next life, imagine what can an impatient and angry man like sarvardhasiddha become in his next life.

This is the punishment i want for him.

If you want someone and their next 7 generations to suffer, give them ownership of a mutt of temple maintenance duty

This is also a forced insertion, as the story conflicts with Ramarajya.

Valmiki describes that nobody felt hungry and food was always available to everyone under the rule of Rama.

Then how can a brahmin sanyasi get frustrated for lack of food and hit a dog?

Also the concept of mutt, maintenance of mutt or peetham, kulapati etc started during Adi Sankaracharya era, when he formed mutts in different directions of country.

He did so when Buddhism was at peak and most kings were converted.

To preserve vedas and vedic lifestyle, he started 4 mutts in 4 directions (Sringeri, Dwaraka, Puri, Badrinath) and gave 1 veda each to follow.

Prior to kaliyuga, the concept of building temples everywhere was non-existent. Idol worship was very much limited durin Treta yuga as most of them worshipped at home.

As Sankaracharya went against Buddhism and tried to re-establish vedic religion, buddhists or jain monks must have inserted this dog-monk-mutt story to create self hatred among brahmins.

The concept of sanyasi was very rare as most rishis were married in those days.

And no sanyasi was allowed to stay at one place for more than a night. He was supposed to wander and not own or maintain any organizations.

This bhikshu (begging monk) were frequently seen after many turned to buddhism and became lazy.
Everyone thought that just by becoming a monk, one would get free food and kingdom would take care of them.

Sankaracharya was against it as created more lazy people, kings started appeasement of one religion followers and this created imbalance in society.

If everyone begs, who is going to cultivate and produce food ?

So he tried to re-establish vedic varna system, where everyone is guranteed work as per their skill and also food.

Some jealous buddhist monk must have inserted this story to make brahmins hate themselves and also others hate them.

Till date, such fake stories are used by abrahamic religions and atheists to spread differences between hindus and convert them.

Similarly stupid stories like conflict between Owl and Eagle are inserted to prove that Rama had solved such silly issues to become famous.

Eagle claims a nest which he built when humans started inhabiting earth. Owl claims that it built when Trees started growing on earth.

Rama concludes that nest belongs to owl as Trees grew before humans were born.

Why do they need a king like Rama to solve a simple question. Even a school kid can answer this.

Yuddha Kanda describes one incident where Rama sends Vaali’s son Angada as messenger to Ravana, just before begining of war.

Angada goes to Ravana’s court and announces himself but Ravana without recognizing his father’s name, asks his men to capture Angada.

Uttara Kanda describes a story where Vaali grabs Ravana and performs sandhya vandanam in 4 different oceans. Ravana is atonished by Vaali’s strength and asks him to be his friend.

If Ravana knows Vaali as a stronger man and a friend already, why would he not recognize when Angada takes his father’s name ?

Ramayana travelled towards east but there is no uttara kanda in Thailand or Indonesian Ramayana.

It travelled towards west and distorted versions with Lava-Kusa capturing the horse.

An ancient painting found in Italian home showing Lav and Kusa driving away a captured royal sacrificial horse (Aswamedha Yaga) belonging to their father Rama.

This is ascribed to brothers Remus and Ramulus, which are latter-day variations of the Hindu name Rama.

Etruscan civilization of Ancient Italy has paintings from Ramayana.

Ancient Italian city of ‘Ravenna‘ is believed to be an Etruscan name and the word resembled ‘Ravana‘, the villain of Ramayana.

It is said that Rome is named after Rama.

After the death of Ravana, Vibishana tookover as king of Lanka and ordered few leftover loyal people of Ravana to leave his kingdom.

It is believed that few giants have moved to north and south america, while others migrated towards europe and middle-east.

Bhadrachala Ramadasu debt to Tana Shah was not paid by Ramoji and Lakshmoji


Bhadrachala Ramadasu (Kancharla Gopanna) who lived during 1620-1680 CE, was arrested by Abdullah Qutb Shah in 1662 CE and released by Tana Shah in 1674 CE.

Tyagaraja composed a song in early 19th century which made popular a story that Lord Rama and Lakshmana came to Tanashah as Ramoji and Lakshmoji at midnight to pay dues and release Ramadasu.

Kancharla Gopanna (Telugu : కంచర్ల గోపన్న), populaly known as Bhadrachala Ramadasu was born in Nelakondapalli village of Khammam district (erstwhile Hyderabad State and present Telangana).

He was the nephew of the Madanna and Akkanna brothers who were ministers at the court of both Abdullah Qutb Shah and his successor son-in-law Abul Hasan Qutb Shah (Tana Shah) of the Qutb Shahi Dynasty in Golconda.

Gopanna was hired as the Tehsildar of Palvancha Taluk around 1660 CE by Abdullah Qutb Shah, who ruled Golconda during 1626–1672 CE.

According to Valmiki Ramayana, in the Treta Yuga, Rama (avatar of the god Vishnu), along with his wife Seetha and brother Lakshmana, stayed in the Dandaka forest (present Maharashtra, Telangana, Andhra, Chattisgarh) as a part of their fourteen-year exile.

Legend has it that the son of Meru and Menaka, Bhadra, performed penances towards Rama here and Rama appeared to him at this place along with Seetha and Lakshmana.


During mid 17th century CE, Pokala Dhammakka, a tribal woman living in Bhadrareddypalem, found the central icon of Rama in an anthill. She dissolved the anthill using the water from the Godavari River. With the help of the villagers, Dhammakka constructed a mandapam (hall) and offered prayers to the deities.

Following Abdullah Qutb Shah’s orders, Gopanna enforced the Jaziya tax, a penalty designed to make Hindus pay for not adopting Islam. Observing the dilapidated state of the temple, Gopanna decided to build a temple for the deity by raising donations.

In the initial attempt, Gopanna received harsh criticism from the local Hindus for enforcing the tax.

Dejected by numerous rebuffs, Gopanna decided to use a portion of the tax collected to build the temple and face the consequences.

Abdullah Qutb Shah (1626-1672 CE)


The temple was built by Gopanna in 1662 CE with a cost of nearly six lakh varahas (coins).
 
Abdullah Qutb Shah summoned upon Gopanna, who had no proper answer for misusing kingdom’s funds.

He was thrown into jail to teach a lesson to others who try to misuse government funds.

Akkanaa and Madanna tried to convince the ruler, but he was firm on setting an example to everyone.

Gopanna, during his fund raising, charities and temple building was named as ‘Ramadasu’ (Servant of Rama) by by Kabirdas, a Muslim saint who was impressed with his work and devotion.

Ramadasu remained in Golconda jail during 1662-1674 CE.

During his regime, Abdullah Qutub Shah encouraged poets from all languages.

Carnatic musician Kshetrayya (1600–1680 CE) visited his court.

He lost multiple wars, except vellore in 1652 CE.

His army tried to sieze and destroy Tirumala temple in 1665 CE, which was negotiated by priests.

After Aurangzeb took control of Hyderabad during his father Shah Jahan’s regime, Abdullah Qutb Shah was restricted within Golconda fort.

After multiple negotiations, Abdullah’s daughter was married to Aurangzeb‘s eldest son, Muhammad Sultan Mirza in 1656 CE. She was his first wife, and so the chances of her progeny becoming Mughal emperor were great.

However, it did not happen as Auragzeb jailed his own son for supporting aurangzen’s elder brother Shah Shuja.

Sultan Mirza died in jail later.

Tana Shah (Abul Hasan Qutb Shah or Tanishah) (1672-1686 CE)

 

 

 
Abul Hasan was a distant relative of Abdullah Qutb Shah and was never focussed on education or learning warfare since his childhood.

He was leading a luxurious life at Golconda palace. At the age of 14, in a drunk state, he misbehaved with queen and was kicked out of palace.

He had nowhere to go, so joined a sufi saint Shahraz Qattal.

Shahraz let Abul Hasan stay with him, where Abul used to sing sufi songs everyday.

Moved by his sweet voice, innocent face and devotion at teenage, Shahraz named him as Tana Shah (Child Saint).

When Abul Hasan was in his 20s, Shahraz Qattal thought of blessing him with a luxurious life for serving his all through these years.

Shahraz proposed Abul Hasan’s marriage with Sultan Abdullah Qutb Shah’s 3rd daughter, for which Abdullah could not refuse.

As his son-in-law Sultan Mirza (Aurangzeb’s son) died in Jail, Abdullah Qutb Shah was looking for heir.

Abdullah had 3 daughter and his 2nd son-in-law Nizamuddin was from Mecca.

He wanted to get complete grip over Golconda and tried to get his aide Sayyed Ahmed to marry Abdullah Qutb Shah’s 3rd daughter. Engagement was also performed.

But after that, Sayyed Ahmed started behaving independently, which was not liked by Nizamuddin, who tried to cancel the engagement.

On the marriage day, Sayyed Ahmed was replaced on horse by Abul Hasan.

Sayyed Ahmed ran away to Aurangzeb and married his Subedar of Bengal, Mir Jumla II’s daughter to settle there.

Abul Hasan (Tana Shah) got married in 1660 CE and while he was back into the palace, his old habits of alchoholism and musical/dance concerts restarted.

This made many administrators get close to him.

He used his wife’s money to buy few soldiers and form a private army.

When Abdullah Qutb Shah was sick in 1672 CE, Tana Shah went to see him, but was stopped at entrace by Nizamuddin’s soldiers.

He complained to his close aide and commander-in-chief Sayyed Muzaffar, who arrested Nizamuddin and threw him in jail.

Without knowledge of all these developments, Abdullah Qutb Shah died in same year, which made Abul Hasan as default heir to the Golconda kingdom.

How Tana Shah became Tanishah

Tana Shah (Child Saint), now started ruling Golconda from 1672 CE and due to his brought up with sufi saint Shahraz Qattal, he was tolerant of all religions.

He donated 14 Jagirs to his sufi guru, which were rejected.

He promoted everyone who helped him reach this position.

Army chief Sayyed Muzaffar was made Prime Minister. One more commander inside fort, Moosa Khan who helped him with inside news, was made as army chief.

Sayyed Muzaffar had 2 secretaries in his office and they were Akkanna, Madanna.

When French attacked an island in Pulicat Lake (border of Andhra-Tamil Nadu), a local commander, Tupaki Krishna defeated them.

He also captured Santhome fort (present Mylapore, Chennai).

French, while negotiating about release of their fort, attacked Golconda’s ships and destroyed them.

Moosa Khan attacked them with huge army.

Muzaffar expected Moosa Khan to become a threat for his position. He called Moosa Khan back to Hyderabad abruptly and auditioned funds spent on this war.

Moosa khan got angry and attacked Muzaffar’s house.

Upon complaint of Muzaffar, Tana Shah got Moosa Khan arrested. This made Muzaffar think that Sultan is under his control.

When Muzaffar tried to advise Tana Shah about controlling expenses etc, differences erupted between them.

To control Muzaffar, Tana Shah promoted Madanna as Revenue Minister.

Madanna worked effienciently and earned sultan’s appraisal.

After few months, Sultan revealed about Muzaffar’s reality in court and removed him from prime minister post.

Instead of hanging him, he was sent as representative to a small province. Madanna was promoted as Prime Minister and his brother Akkanna was made Revenue Minister.


As Prime Minister, Madanna repoened mines and increased revenue.

Earlier, few zamindars were auctioning areas for collecting taxes. Later, they used to collect extra taxes and harrass farmers, businessmen.

Akkanna and Madanna abolished this system and appointed revenue collectors with fixed tax percentage system.

They also increased army strength to six lakh soldiers.

In next 2 years, they gained respect of people and sultan.

Due to good administration, Tana Shah was called as Tanishah (benevolent ruler). This Tanishah/Tanashah is wrongly interpreted as dictator these days.

His successors continued the title of Tanishah.

In 1674 CE, they proposed to Tana Shah to released their nephew Gopanna, who was in Jail for 12 years and promised to pay those 6 lakh Varahas he spent for building Bhadrachalam Temple in 1662 CE along with interest.

Benevolent Sutan (Tanishah) agreed for this proposal as Ramadasu never tried to escape jail and almost became a saint by singing bhajans about Lord Rama.

In 1674 CE, Akkanna and Madanna paid his debt and got him released.


RamaTanka Gold Coins given to Tana Shah are still in display at Bhadrachalam Temple.
 
Ramadasu was not in a position to think about how this happened. He lived in Bhadrachalam for another 6 years and died.

Already muslims in golconda court were unhappy with a hindu Madanna becoming prime minister. So, it is possible that Ramoji, Lakshmoji story was created to convince both Ramadasu and others.


The same story was shown in cinema and other media.

In early 19th century, Tyagaraja composed a kriti (song) Kshirasagara Sayana, and told this Ramoji, Lakshmoji story in the stanza Dhirudau Ramadasuni Bandhamu.

But people assume that Tanishah is one person and he jailed Gopanna for misuse of funds and later had darshan of Rama and Lakshmana in the form of Ramoji, Lakshmoji.

How will two strange youngsters enter a king’s palace under tight security at midnight, pay huge money and disappear !!

In the bhakti movement, history, dates and names were ignored.

Akkanna, Madanna were secretaries to prime minister during Abdullah Qutb Shah rule and their position only helped Gopanna get a post as Palvancha Tahsildar.

Only after they gained respect and faith of next Sultan Abul Hasan Qutub Shah (Tana Shah), and after Madanna became his prime minister, they could dare to ask for Ramadasu release.

A New World Wants To Be Born – The End Of The Age of Religions


“In the supramental creation, there will no longer be any religions.
The whole life will be the expression, the flowering into forms of the divine Unity manifesting in the world.” – The Mother

Let All The Religions Perish.
Let It All Go.

All the dogma, institutions, and organizations with their hierarchies, titles, silly hats, turbans, and costumes.

All the churches, temples, mosques, and synagogues.

All the mechanical rituals, ceremonies, holidays, and superstitions that are based on a nostalgic, outdated past, corruption of spiritual truths, and distortions of scripture.

Religion has been used for social control for thousands of years via projecting human morality and characteristics on a judging external God. The biggest deception of all.

Even now, we see the resurrection (pardon the pun) of an exoteric dogmatic medieval wetiko-infused fundamentalist Christianity [trad movement] that is far removed from the deeper esoteric Christian teachings.

It will all perish anyway, and no one can stop it as we enter a new cycle in this cosmic unfolding and descent of the supra-mental divine consciousness—beyond the mind’s grasp.

It’s the end of the age of Pisces, the end of all belief systems, and the end of religion.

Once you stop calling yourself a Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, or whatever Faith, Scripture, or Religion you identify yourself with, then the path to the Divine of full embodied Self-Realization is completely open without external man-made distortions, mental images, ideas, and savior projections.

Divine Truth cannot be organized or compiled in a “written word by God.” Scriptures can serve as a guide to an extent, but distortions and dogma are inevitable, especially if one is very identified with a certain teaching and Faith.

Whenever there is an attempt to organize it, the anti-divine forces succeed in manipulating humans through a grain of Truth and vector them to seek salvation outside themselves, like the Jesus savior program – the most cunning traps of all distorted spiritual truths.

Remember the story of how the devil and a friend of his were walking down the street when they saw ahead of them a man bend down, pick up something from the ground, look at it, and put it away in his pocket?

The friend said to the devil, “What did that man pick up?”
“He picked up a piece of Truth,” said the devil.
“That is a very bad business for you, then,” said his friend.
“Oh, not at all,” the devil replied, “I am going to let him organize it.”

Or, as Satprem noted:

“The real mischief of the devil is not to sow falsehood and hatred in the world, such as Attila or the Nazis have done – he is far too clever for that – but to lay hands on a grain of Truth and then to twist it ever so slightly. Nothing is more intractable than a perverted truth because the falsehood is made that much stronger by the power of Truth it contains.”

Yet, we still have a long way to go, for humans are very attached to their beliefs and identification, and we are still like kindergarten children regarding the evolution of consciousness.

We are still distracted by external progress and technological gadgets. We look for god in letters in a book but never sincerely go deep within ourselves.

We neglect our inner lives while identifying with the outer superficial ego-personality, the false persona with all its identifications and attachments.

Nor do we need a one-world religion, a “unification” of all the core ideas of all religions. That is still limited, distorted, and is already being hijacked by the anti-divine forces who bring forth falsehood as “Truth” to introduce a new world [New Age] religion, just as dogmatic Christianity has been hijacked to sell the “savior” program and divert people from Truth.

Atheism, along with Communism, neo-Marxism, and the Religion of Transhumanism, will also eventually perish. Materialistic Science and Darwinism will be an archaic relic of a kindergarten past. None of them can stand in the presence of the Divine Truth and Divine Will.

We don’t need merely a shift in consciousness but a complete transmutation – the divinization of matter and life. It’s not about escaping life, being raptured in “heaven,” escaping “Maya,” or entering “paradise” in the afterlife. All these ideas are religious distortions of the old world.

The supramental Divine Truth outshining all religions is not a teaching, not moral conduct of rules and principles; it’s not an idea or idealogy, a system, a dogma, or an -ism.

It can’t be organized, controlled, imposed, or taught.

It is nothing the mind can even begin to comprehend. It’s the end of the mind [hence supra-mental] and the beginning of the Divine Gnostic Being [not to be mistaken for Gnosticism], embodying the supramental consciousness – the aim of the evolutionary process of humans embodying God’s Will, fully and integral.

It can only be realized.

This is what this Time of Transition is about.

All the dark shadows, errors, imperfections, pathologies, ignorance, secrets, evil, and lies in the world, AND WITHIN YOU, need to come to light and be purified and transmuted in the fire of Agni.

As long as you see only dark, imperfections, and evil in the world and others but don’t face yourself, the anti-divine matrix forces have you in their hidden hands while you “dream of being awake,” but you are still asleep.

This process requires tremendous humility and courage at the same time.

Everything will be “forced” to come to light in the presence of the Divine Truth. Nothing can stop it in the long run. This process manifests “externally” in the world and within you, for all is ONE.

But the process will take many more lifetimes and cycles, and it takes conscious Alignment and Work.

It requires the descent into the proverbial “underworld,” battling demons within and without including your “dark persona,” the shadow that you project externally on others—all of which are your teachers, for all is the play of the Divine. Nothing can exist outside the Mind of God.

But be careful now. The higher Truth of “All is One” can be easily abused for spiritual bypassing, as it’s common in New Age circles.

We didn’t come here for vacation, mindless indulgence, and just manifestations of our “desires.” Your ego may want certain things and experiences – tempted by the matrix forces, but your soul has a different plan, trajectory, and purpose.

For some people, the soul is already ripe enough to engage in this Work consciously, no longer driven by conditioned desires; for others, it may take a few more lifetimes to “grow the soul” until it “comes to the front” and takes charge and answers the call of the Divine.

Yet, you signed up to be here right now, and it’s your call to embrace this adventure of consciousness into the unknown and the Great Work we are called to participate in. The outcome still depends on YOU, even though it is guaranteed.

Welcome to the paradox of it all, which the mind won’t be able to reconcile.

When the time comes that man no longer wishes to remain a child but wants to grow up and become an adult, then he must understand and neither deceive himself nor others.

Then he will see that God is to be found not in any particular form but in all forms, not in any particular place, but everywhere, not through any single vehicle, faith, cult, religion, building, or man, but in the Infinite.

You will never find God anywhere else but in those conditions; the rest is merely your idea of God, your mental picture. These are purely intellectual things, they are not God or Reality.

So if man wishes to awaken, if he wants to understand himself, he must face the fact that the real avenue to contact with God is not outside himself but within, directly inside. He must find his own way to God through and within himself.

That is, if he seeks God there is no other way, but if he is looking for ideas, concepts, or mental images, then he can take what orthodox religions and cults offer him.

And because most people have been content to let others do their thinking and their questing for them, they have been satisfied with those conditions.”

– Paul Brunton, The Inner Reality

Places of Worship and Occult Forces Feeding on Humans

Growing up in Europe, I visited several famous churches and cathedrals in France, Italy, Spain, and Germany. Despite their amazing architecture, art, and esoteric symbolism, I’ve always felt something off in those places of worship. Perhaps it was a different energy and intention when they were first built.

However, I couldn’t ignore a very dark life-force-sucking energy in virtually all of those places. It became even more apparent a few years ago when I revisited some of those old churches and cathedrals.

Tuning into the energy of these places was truly disturbing and icky; literally made me physically nauseous in some instances. Very heavy and depleting. I couldn’t stay inside for long.

While I’m not a clairvoyant, I felt the same dark energy that Mirra Alfassa (The Mother) described in her experience, and what she describes helped me understand my visceral experience visiting these places of worship:

“I saw in one of the most beautiful cathedrals of France, which, from the artistic point of view, is one of the most magnificent monuments imaginable – in the most sacred spot I saw an enormous [non-physical] black, vital spider [occult hostile force] which had made its web and spread it over the whole place, and was catching in it and then absorbing all the forces emanating from people’s devotion, their prayers and all that.

It was not a very cheering sight; the people who were there and were praying, felt a divine touch, they received all kinds of boons from their prayers, and yet what was there was this, this thing. So, truly, if I had gone and told them “Do you think you are praying to God? It is an enormous vital spider that’s feeding upon all your forces!”, that would really not have been very charitable.

And that’s how it is most of the time, almost everywhere; it is a vital force that is there, for these [hyperdimensional] vital entities feed upon the vibration of human emotions. The majority of people [visit these places] only because of superstition, egoism, and self-interest and create an atmosphere of this kind, and that is what you breathe in when you go to a church or temple. And all these people believe this is something holy! But it is a web of the hostile vital forces which use all this to feed upon.

Besides, in the invisible world hardly any beings love to be worshipped, except those of the vital [lower astral world]. These, as I said, are quite pleased by it. And then, it gives them importance. They are puffed up with pride and feel very happy, and when they can get a herd of people to worship them, they are quite satisfied.

I know them, those entities. I know them very well, but they are vital beings, vital forms which, so to say, are given a form by human thought, and what forms! And to think that men worship such terrible and monstrous things.

From this point of view, it is good that for some time, men get out of this religious atmosphere, so full of fear and this sort of blind, superstitious submission of which the hostile forces have taken a dreadful advantage.

It is only when one comes out of that and the abject submission to monstrous vital forces that one can rise to truly spiritual heights, and there become the collaborator and true instrument of the forces of Truth, the real Consciousness, the true Power. One must leave all this far behind before one can climb higher.” – The Mother Mirra Alfassa, The Hidden Forces of Life


You don’t need any man-made building nor any dogmatic religion (with a hierarchy of priests, bishops, and popes) to connect to God, the Divine, or whatever you may want to call it. It’s nothing outside of yourself, either.

Do you know what the most magnificent and powerful “cathedral” that I visited brought me “closer to God” within me, seeing the Divine in all and everything? It was sitting at the edge of the Grand Canyon in silence. It was pure nature, nothing man-made. There were no crosses, deities, images, or any forms of symbols to worship and pray to.

It’s also fairly obvious that all dogmatic monotheistic religions have been created and used for social control and suppression for centuries. Organized dogmatic religion is an archonic creation designed to suck your life force, harness your energy, and give away your power out of your own “free will,” feeding on guilt and shame for the “sinner” you are based on the lie that God is outside yourself – some being in the sky and judging your every step.

The Birth of A New World and A New Spirituality

The old spirituality was an escape from life into the divine Reality, leaving the world just where it was, as it was, whereas our new vision, on the contrary, is a divinization of life, a transformation of the material world into a divine world.

It is not the old one transforming itself; it is a new world that is born. And we are right in the midst of this period of transition where the two are entangled — where the other still persists all-powerful and entirely dominating the ordinary consciousness, but where the new one is quietly slipping in, still very modest, unnoticed — unnoticed to the extent that outwardly it doesn’t disturb anything very much, for the time being, and that in the consciousness of most people, it is even altogether imperceptible. And yet it is working, growing — until it is strong enough to assert itself visibly

In any case, to simplify things, it could be said that characteristically, the old world, the creation of what Sri Aurobindo calls the Overmind, was an age of the gods and, consequently, the age of religions.

As I said, the flower of human effort towards what is above it gave rise to innumerable religious forms, to a religious relationship between the best souls and the invisible world.

And at the very summit of all that, as an effort towards a higher realization, there has arisen the idea of the unity of religions, of this “one single thing” which is behind all these manifestations, and this idea has truly been, so to speak, the extreme limit of human aspiration.

Well, that is at the frontier; it is something that still belongs completely to the Overmind world, the Overmind creation, and which from there seems to be looking towards this “other thing,” which is a new creation it cannot grasp — which it tries to reach, feels coming, but cannot grasp. To grasp it, a reversal is needed. It is necessary to leave the Overmind creation. It was necessary that the new creation, the supramental creation, should take place.

And now, all these old things seem so old, so out-of-date, so arbitrary — such a travesty of the real truth.

In the supramental creation, there will no longer be any religions. The whole life will be the expression, the flowering into forms of the divine Unity manifesting in the world.

When the physical substance is supramentalised, to incarnate on earth will no longer be a cause of inferiority; quite the contrary. It will give a plenitude which cannot be obtained otherwise.

But all this is in the future; it is a future… which has begun but which will take some time to be realized integrally. Meanwhile, we are in a very special situation, extremely special, without precedent.

We are now witnessing the birth of a new world; it is very young, very weak — not in its essence but in its outer manifestation — not yet recognized, not even felt, denied by the majority. But it is here. It is here, making an effort to grow, absolutely sure of the result.

But the road to it is a completely new road which has never before been traced out — nobody has gone there, nobody has done that! It is a beginning, a universal beginning. So, it is an absolutely unexpected and unpredictable adventure.

There are people who love adventure. It is these I call, and I tell them this: “I invite you to the great adventure.”

It is not a question of repeating spiritually what others have done before us, for our adventure begins beyond that.

It is a question of a new creation, entirely new, with all the unforeseen events, the risks, the hazards it entails — a real adventure whose goal is certain victory, but the road to which is unknown and must be traced out step by step in the unexplored.

Something that has never been in this present universe and that will never be again in the same way. If that interests you… well, let us embark. What will happen to you tomorrow — I have no idea.

One must put aside all that has been foreseen, all that has been devised, all that has been constructed, and then… set off walking into the unknown. And — come what may! There.” – The Mother Mirra Alfassa
