Mithila is the ancient most school of Wisdom that enlightens humanity from time to time according to the Divine Plan. The Wisdom is divine and eternal and expresses itself out, to show the way. This book is Wisdom systematised, to find alignment that enables self-realisation.
It is meant for all children who seek Kingdom of God upon Earth. It is meant to form a comprehensive New Age School syllabus intended for teachers and parents to train the young ones.
It has been called forth by the sincere parents and teachers for the benefithe New Age Child.

To be born as a human being is an opportunity given and not a choice made. Yes, man did not choose the human body. It is an opportunity given. Any given opportunity should be fully and properly availed. For, there is no guarantee that we may get another opportunity. Therefore, every man is expected to understand the significance of having been given a body.
This is what we call the purpose of Life.
Man is essentially the indweller of the body, which is his vehicle of expression. He expresses himself through his mind, senses and body. Unless he learns to express well through these bodies, they complicate him. This means that he complicates himself through lack of knowledge of the use of these vehicles. He complicates himself further by not establishing a harmonious rapport with the life around him, presented through other forms of life -- the mineral, the plant and the animal.
Thus, he starts complaining instead of complying. It is like a learner complaining against the horse that he intends" riding or a sophisticated car that he wants to drive. Neither the horse nor the car complicates the rider or the driver by themselves. More often, incompetence is the root of all the complaints.
The human body is also a sophisticated vehicle. Neither its model is readily available for remake nor its spare parts in the market. Just as the use of a horse or a car has a set of rules, the use of the human body also has set rules. The horse and the car become a source of joy when man learns to ride and drive properly. Similarly, if the set rules are followed, the vehicle called the human body functions well and in co-ordination with the indweller. Otherwise, the indweller complicates himself inside the vehicle.
The right use depends on the right intake. One cannot feed the horse with meat or the car with any other liquid other than the prescribed fuel. One cannot pour coffee or tea or alcohol into the gasoline tank or stuff it with gold, silver or precious gems. However tasty or valuable they are, they cannot make the car run. Why, on the contrary, they spoil the functioning of the car. So, when man feeds the body with food, desires and thoughts that are undesirable, they continuously damage the human body at all levels, viz., the physical, the emotional and the mental levels.
Today, man has lost the fundamentals, viz., his behaviour towards food, sex, work, money and rest.
- He does not know how-what-when-where and how much to eat. Hence his physical ills.
- He does not understand the purpose of the sex instinct within him. He only knows to satisfy the instinct, by hook or by crook. Possessed by lust, he has lost his commonsense relating to hygiene and has become indecent in matters of sex. Having lost hygiene, rhythm and decency, he becomes abnormal and unnatural in his sexual behaviour. Since he has lost the science of touch, he has fallen a prey in the hands of the deadly virus which cannot be conquered unless he mends his ways. Surely, Nature has its own checks and balances to set right its spoilt child.
- Similarly, he has forgotten the right use of the sense of taste, of hearing and that of sight. Proper use of these senses enables him to be clairvoyant, clairaudient and he can also travel astrally. Improper use binds him to illusion of sight; to misunderstanding through speech and listening and also to the grosser body that pulls him down.
Thus, man's excessive satiation of desires binds him to the gross physical, though he has facility to be subtle or etheric.
The 20th Century man has not stopped with this. He has also been polluting the air, the water and the environs. Since he has lost his direction, he is unfit to direct the incoming souls, viz., the children.
As we have seen, man is not independent of the system in which he lives. He is not only dependant on his co-human beings but also on minerals, plants, animals and the devas (the subtle intelligences who function impersonally in nature and in man). He has learnt through Science as to how to use them but not as to how to be useful to them. "Be useful before you use" is the message of the seers and the Masters of Wisdom. Alas ! Man's tendency today is to use, to extract and to exploit, regardless of the consequences. So, while he has gained much ground in the recent years, he has lost much too! And, the loss neutralises the gain.
He is unable to inspire the children since he himself is not inspired. Today, therefore, the average child (or youth) needs to gather himself into an integrated personality. His mind, senses and body should be subordinate to him. This is real freedom. Through a false sense of freedom, he is behaving irresponsibly in eating, drinking and what not. What more, he gets addicted to spurious drugs. All this in the name of freedom! The child should therefore be given techniques to gain the co-operation of its mental, emotional and physical bodies so that he leads life as an integrated personality called by the Masters of Wisdom as a "Soul infused personality" or as "an aligned person".
The concern of the parents about their children is too sincere and intense and hence this book. It contains practical techniques which can be practised by anyone who is so inclined. It is a work-book for parents and teachers, for working with themselves and also with the children. The techniques given are not new but age-old. They are only excerpts from Ancient Wisdom, once again re-arranged in a language and in an order suitable for the present times. They are already being practised by many families in the East and the West who have been following my teaching. The results have been encouraging.
The same teaching has now been arranged to enable all those who wish to save the children from the wrath of contemporary evils of our society.
This formula can be taught to children as a subject in their school or it can manifest as a Sunday School.

My Dear Child,
Let us learn about ourselves. How are we formed? We all have a form and we all function through the form. We call this form "our body" Our body is not ourself. Just like our car, our books, our playing articles, our bicycle, our body is also a thing for our functioning. After we descend into the mother's womb, the body is gradually built around us. By the time we come out of the womb, we already have:-
|
1 |
legs |
|
2 |
hands |
|
3 |
trunk |
|
4 |
head |
|
5 |
ears |
|
6 |
eyes |
|
7 |
nostrils of the nose |
|
8 |
mouth and the tongue within |
|
9 |
urinary tract |
|
10 |
excretary tract |
We also form:
|
1 |
The sense of Touch |
|
2 |
The sense of Taste |
|
3 |
The sense of Hearing |
|
4 |
The sense of Sight and |
|
5 |
The sense of Smell |
We carry within us the five elements namely:
|
1 |
The gross physical material (the skin, the nails, the bones, the hair) |
|
2 |
The Water (in the form of blood and secretions) |
|
3 |
The Fire (the heat in us) |
|
4 |
The Air (as our respiratory activity) |
|
5 |
The Ether or Akasha (An aspect of space within us) |
See! We exist so beautifully in a body that is four sets of 5 that is four pentagons! Pentagon means the body of five. The four pentagons constitute the 20 items stated above. The other name for the "pentagon" is "dragon". The ancients used the word dragon to represent Five-fold existence. The ancient most name for "dragon" in the ancient most language of man is MAKARA. Ma means No.5 and Kara means hands. It means the five aspected one. A pentagon has five hands. The dragon has the four legs and a head too! We are also pentagons or a five-pointed star or a dragon. Stand stretching your legs by 90 and stretching your hands either side horizontally - Lo! You find yourself a Five pointed Star. The other names used in the Scriptures are the "Horses" and the "Robes" etc.
The four pentagons stated above exist interlinked as our body.
The second pentagon (Makara) is subtler than the first. The first Makara is grosser to the second. Likewise, the second Makara is grosser to the third and the third is grosser to the fourth. They remain in us interlinked. We function through these four dragons on a daily basis. This constitutes our body.
We exist within this body which is also called the city of our residence. And we exist in four-fold manner within those four pentagons. First, we exist. Secondly, we wake up into Consciousness every morning as we get up! Sorry, I think I am wrong. Do we get up from sleep or something in us wakes us up? Please ponder on this.
If we are waking up we should know how and from where and by what means we are waking up. Like-wise, do we sleep or is sleep given? If we sleep, we should know how we are sleeping. But we do not know how we sleep. In sleep, we exist but we do not know how we are.' Is it not? We also do not know till we wake up, how the process of waking up is taking place. Somehow, we are woken up and we are put into sleep. This is done to us by Nature.
Nature does many more things within us. It conducts sleep and wakes us up. It conducts pulsation, respiration and circulation of blood, ft has a laboratory in the heart to recycle the impure blood to pure blood. It has another laboratory in the liver, where chemistry of a high order is conducted to transform the food into energy. The secretions from glands is also a function of Nature. Through such secretions, it continuously builds the tissues of the body and maintains the harmony of the body. Indeed, many are its functions in the body that cannot be fully enumerated. This intelligent activity of Nature is called "Consciousness." Nature is therefore, Conscious. You see how conscious is the atom?
Thus, we exist and we become conscious and function through the body. We become our thoughts and desires and lastly we act propelled by thoughts and desires. This is our four-fold existence:
|
Our existence |
|
|
Our awakening or awareness or consciousness |
|
|
Our becoming thought Our state of action on the basis of thoughts |
|
|
through the Five-fold body. |
|
Our four-fold existence and the 20 elements (four pentagons i.e., 4 x 5) together form our constitution. Hence one understanding of our constitution is 20 + 4 = 24. These are also the number of hours in the day. They are also the number of lunations in the year i.e., 12 Full Moons and 12 New Moons. We are therefore, called No.24
Our four-fold existence in the four pentagons of the body also gives another number 4+4=8. This is called the number of the Christ.
We have learnt in the preceding paras that basically we exist and we become conscious periodically. That means we have two states and we function through the five-fold body (the Makara, the dragon, the pentagon, the horse, the robe). This is how we are called the Septenate or No.7. The ancients frequently used to explain the Man and the Cosmos with this number, although other numbers such as 3, 5, 9, 11 and 12 can also be used for explanation. Let us follow the path of the ancients and understand ourselves more comprehensively.

7 Planes - 7 Bodies
Let us see, how we are seven fold
|
1 |
We exist (in sleep or out of sleep) |
|
|
2 |
We become conscious (when we are out of sleep) |
|
|
3 |
We have Love |
|
|
4 |
We have Wisdom |
|
|
5 |
We have Mind |
|
|
6 |
We have Senses |
|
|
7 |
We have the body - the one we see |
1 and 2 are what we are. 3 to 7 are what we have. We are (i.e., 1 and 2) enveloped by the five Principles that we have. The other name for the envelope is body. Thus we have five bodies and we are consciousness with existence as our background. So, we can once again tabulate the 7 as under.
|
1 |
We exist - The Spirit |
|
2 |
We become Conscious - The Soul |
|
3 |
We have Love body - Plane of Love |
|
4 |
We have Wisdom body - Plane of Wisdom - Buddhi |
|
5 |
We have Mind body - Plane of Thought |
|
6 |
We have Senses body - Plane of emotion or Emotional body |
|
7 |
We have Physical body - Plane of physical action |
Thus there are seven states of our existence, from the state of pure existence, via consciousness upto the physical existence which we know. The seven planes of our existence are therefore:
|
7 |
The Physical Existence |
|
6 |
The Emotional Existence |
|
5 |
The Mental Existence |
|
4 |
The Buddhic Existence |
|
3 |
The Love Existence |
|
2 |
Our Existence as Consciousness |
|
1 |
Our Existence Pure |
Many men know the physical existence. They also know their emotional existence, when they are excited, irritated, frightened or sorrowful or joyful. When they are in that state, we say they are emotional. All of us have emotions. When we are emotional - it means we are working with the body of emotions.
We also know our mental existence. Whenever we are in the process of thinking it means we are in the body of thought or the body of mind.
All average human beings know these three states of experience or existence. We know ourselves as thinkers? desirers? and actors? meaning, we work with our mental body, desire (emotional body) and the physical body. The great thinkers are also thinkers only. The intellectuals are also thinkers only. All are thinkers from intellectual to average man. The difference is in their thinking.
But there are also a few of us (the mankind) who also function with the body of Wisdom. They are more than intellectual. They are intuitional. Intuitional means they work with a higher understanding. They work with Wisdom. They follow the Wisdom of the Nature. For example, our Scientists who contributed to the welfare of our society are intuitional. So also there are others like Plato, Socrates and Pythagoras, who were intuitional. Through their intuition, they contributed to the welfare of the mankind. Every Nation has such intuitional men and women who contribute through their thought to the well - being of the society. Their contribution guides the society for longer cycles of time unlike the contribution of the intellectuals- The leading thinkers of the society influence the society for shorter cycles. Their thought dies soon for it lacks co-ordination with Nature. Some thoughts live short. Some live long and some others live eternally. The third category belong to those who function from the body of Buddhi or Wisdom. For example, the Wisdom of Plato, Pythagoras and Socrates, survived the cycles of time in the West. So also that of Valmiki, Veda Vyasa in the East, and Hermes in Middle East.
Man should learn to function with the Wisdom (Buddhi) body - his fourth body. He is now frequently using only the three bodies lower to Buddhic body i.e., the physical body, the desire body and the thinking body. Man cannot sufficiently derive happiness with these three bodies although they are also very important bodies. Using Buddhic body makes him happier.
Man is much more happier if he also learns to make use of his Love body. It is used by very very few in the mankind. Lord Krishna used it. Lord Buddha used it. Lord Christ used it. All great Masters of Wisdom use it. When man uses this body of his, he experiences great bliss and also distributes such bliss and happiness to all others around him. The life stories of Krishna, Buddha and Christ show how much they were happy and how much they kept others happy. Even today millions of human beings on this Planet Earth are inspired by their works and teachings. When we learn to make use of the Love body, we also can work like them! Is it not fantastic? Is it not worth attempting in our lives?
So, let us learn to understand how many good principles we have. Having understood our potential, we should practise the techniques that help functioning of the potential of the principles. It requires, therefore, learning, understanding and practising. We need not wait to practise till we understand everything. We can straightway practise that which we have already learnt and understood. A man who does not practise what he learnt is LAZY. To such a person, experience of happiness is distant. So let us practise and learn. And also learn and practise.
So our scope of learning and practising extends to understanding of ourselves, our bodies and practising techniques that help proper functioning through all our bodies.

Did you ever notice that the Sun Ray travels very far. From the Sun-Globe upto our Earth the Ray travels and functions as life force upon the planet. The beauty of the Sun Ray is, it permeates while travelling from Sun to Earth. It is expansion through travel. The Sun Ray is responsible for all life on the planet and is the life of the planet itself.
The Sun Ray likewise travels to other six planets also. Around the Sun, seven planets make movements, including the moon, which is considered as a planet for astrological purposes. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Moon, Earth, Jupiter and Saturn, revolve around the Sun.
Thus, the Sun is the Centre of all the planets/planetary bodies and is the transmitter of Light and Life to all planets The Ancients and the Scriptures tell us that Sun is not only the transmitter of Light and Life to the planets, but also the cause of the planets' birth, formation and growth. So the seven planets take birth, grow and act with Sun as their life principle.
So is the case with us. In us also the Sun functions as the life and light principle. The seven rays of the Sun that form the seven planetary bodies also function in us as the seven planetary principles. Let us see how the seven Ray principles function as the seven planetary principles in us.
|
1. |
The Will we carry in us is the function of the principle of Sun. |
|
2. |
The Wisdom and Love we carry in us is the function of the principle of Jupiter. |
|
3. |
The Intelligent Activity we carry is the function of the principle of Mercury in us. |
|
4. |
The instinctive attraction to beauty and splendour that we carry is the function of the principle of Venus in us. |
|
5. |
The process of reflecting upon our thoughts, thinking, understanding, reacting to life, is the function of the principle of Moon in us. |
|
6. |
The force we carry in us is the function of the principle of Mars in us. |
|
7. |
The material body (that holds all) that we carry is the function of the principle of Saturn in us along with the principle of Earth (Material). |
Let us recapitulate. From Sun the Sun Ray emerges. The Sun Ray has seven qualities. The seven qualities of the Ray form the seven planets of our solar system. The seven Ray qualities also form the human body. The seven planets function according to the seven individual qualities. The human being functions with all the seven qualities of the Sun Ray. Thus the seven Rays emerging from Sun form the Solar System and the human body. They are the main functionary principles for the Solar System and the human being.
How do the seven principles of the Solar Ray function through our body? Through what centres of the body they function? This is necessary for us to know. Is it not?
|
1. |
The Will functions through a centre of the Head (SUN). |
|
2. |
The Love-Wisdom functions through a centre in between and just above the Eye-brows (JUPITER). |
|
3. |
The Intelligent activity functions through the Throat Centre (MERCURY). |
|
4. |
The experience of beauty, splendour and bliss (happiness) through Heart Centre (VENUS). |
|
5. |
The Mental activity of reaction i.e., behavioural functioning happens through the Centre at the Navel (MOON). |
|
6. |
The force -- the emotional force which is a lower manifestation of the Will (No.1 above) functions through the Centre which is called the Sacral Centre (MARS). |
|
7. |
The materialisation of the body, its consolidation, formation, growth and decay happen through a Centre at the base of the Spine. |
In the Wisdom books these centres are called:-

The Seven Ray principles function through the Seven Centres of the body and stimulate the seven glands of the body.
The Glands in the body secrete and help formation of the body tissues which are also Seven!
If there is proper secretion of the glands, there is harmonious functioning of the body. If not, the body lacks in harmony, which is called disease. Since the secretions cause harmony in the body they are called hormones. If there is hormonal disturbance, we suffer incurable diseases. The functioning or the non - functioning of the glands depend upon the functioning state of the seven centres in the body. The functioning of the seven centres is dependent upon the behaviour of the man. If man behaves well, i.e., with full understanding of the seven centres and their functioning, he can be healthy and harmonious. If not, he lands up in mental, emotional and physical disorder, called disease. Disease is only lack of ease. Ease is health.
The seven glands in the body are:
|
S.No. |
Glands |
|
1. |
Pineal |
|
2. |
Pituitary |
|
3. |
Thyroid |
|
4. |
Thymus |
|
5. |
Adrenal |
|
6. |
Pancreas |
|
7. |
Gonads (Sex glands) |
The seven glands correspond to the seven centres, the seven planets and the seven rays in the order given. In the average human being all the glands do not secrete. Only in a perfect human being like KRISHNA, CHRIST, BUDDHA, there is co-ordinated, harmonious secretion of all glands. Especially, the secretion of the glands in the head happens only to highly spiritual people.
Through good conduct, a man can enable functioning of the centres of the body, which enable proper secretion of the glands. The Masters of Wisdom know the sound key, the colour key and the symbol relating to these centres They use these keys to retain healthy and effective bodies. They follow a specific practice relating to Sound, Colour and also relating to their attitude towards other beings. We too can adopt the same practice to regain our pristine state of body.
Just for your information, I also give you the seven colours and the seven symbols, with which you can work, after you follow the behavioural instructions given in this book.

You can now prepare yourself a comprehensive table of the seven rays, seven planets, seven centres, seven glands, seven colours and seven symbols. See how beautifully everything in creation is arranged seven-fold. The seven also exist as seven planes of consciousness and as seven bodies which I have already explained to you.
