The Mistery of Belicena Villca
– Ah --sighed the Guru-- . It is difficult for us to imagine your world as it becomes almost impossible for you to represent ours . More than Races , a Universe of Symbols separates us , a Wall of Illusion planted by the Great Deceiver . You are often satisfied with empty words , that is to say , you are content with words that represent ideas , ideas that have little weight in reality , ideas that are as illusory as the other forms of Maya . The Sign that you carry makes you different from the rest of mortals . However , neither you nor your Gurus know how to demonstrate that supremacy . Well then , with this simple pair of bullmastiffs , Oh Bhattaraka , you will do what no one , except who also carries the Sign of Shiva , is capable of doing in this World : We will reveal you a Kilkor 37 that will allow you to mentally command both mastiffs at the same time .
Directing a dog with the mind would indeed be incredible for any rationalistic mentality , but I considered it possible and took it naturally ; what was incomprehensible to me was that of controlling " both mastiffs at the same time ". The Guru Visaraga , who continued to explain the characteristics of the sinister gift , did not take long to clarify all my doubts .
– Don ' t be fooled by their fierce appearance --he said vehemently-- . They ' re not common animals but a very special pair of Daivas dogs 38 ; balanced in our Monastery thanks to ancient formulas that the Kâula Circle possesses : Daivas dogs are manifestations of the archetypal couple of celestial dogs ; each is the exact reflection of the other , and both perfectly emanate from the Dog of Heaven ; even their etheric bodies belong to the same Group Soul . They are like pairs of opposite principles manifested and , normally , one would neutralize the other without remedy . During a very ancient war , perhaps prior to the one narrated in the Mahabharata , the Gurus trained Daivas dogs as a weapon , so that they would attack in pairs and could not be stopped by the enemies of lower varna : only the Kshatriyas , the spiritual Heroes , those who by their Pure Blood were " beyond " the opposing principles Kula and Akula , managed to stop the Daivas dogs . It is what you , who holds the Sign of Shiva , can do today with Kula and Akula !
You see --concluded the Guru-- that although your power to stop an enraged mastiff by voices of command may seem like an inimitable feat , and perhaps it is in the West , you could do nothing against a couple of Daivas dogs . Of course , I ' m talking about the SS Initiates in general . Because you , Sweet Pilgrim , are different from all , you posses the ancient Tao , the active stillness of Shiva meditating : You can control Daivas dogs with your mind because Your Spirit is beyond Kula and Akula !
Imagine , neffe Arturo , eight rods with a trisula or trident in each end , that is to say , eight rods and sixteen tridents , arranged in parallel one next to another and separated by small distances . Imagine then another set the same , but with the rods arranged perpendicular to the previous ones . Apply finally one set on top of another to form a grid , and you will get the basic shape of the Yantra that Guru Visaraga taught me : a quadrangular grid with eight side tridents and forty-nine interior squares .
After the aforementioned explanation , the Guru , always accompanied by the sadhaka couple and the ferocious dogs , led me to a room lit by hundreds of candles and whose floor was not paved at all . From one of the multiple candle-covered shelves , he took a few bags full of fine grit of various colors and , with singular mastery , he spilled them on the ground until forming the Kilkor described . He asked me if I would be able to remember it . I nodded and then he said : – Son of Shiva : do not be surprised because we know your secrets , because we know more about you than you yourself apprehend . You proceed from a distant country , far more distant than the Assam Kâmarupa that seems very remote to us , but you have a lot in common with the Kâulikas : you are of our same Race and varna , you are a Kshatriya ; you fight in our same side against the same Enemy ; you are started in the same Ancient Wisdom of Shiva , the Lord of the War and the Destruction of Maya , the Wisdom that founds the Kâula Tantra . And , for us , who are Initiated in the Kâula Tantra , you are a Tulku of Shiva , as I called you a moment ago . Do you know what a Tulku is ? – I think so : – I answered without much conviction – the reincarnation of a God . – No ! – Guru Visaraga firmly denied , although he smiled compassionately-- . You must say , in any case : one of the simultaneous reincarnations of a God . According to the Tantric Doctrine , when a
