Shiva means ‘beneficial’ (kalyankaari). This name has been attributed to the Supreme Father + Supreme Soul because at the end of the world cycle, when the human souls and nature have become sinful and tamopradhaan, the Supreme Father + Supreme Soul Shiva, the Point of Light, who is a dweller of the Supreme Abode, takes the support of a human body and purifies and makes both, the human souls as well as nature satopradhaan. In the remembrance of this very act of Shiva, the festival of ‘Shivaraatri (the festival of Shiva)’, i.e. ‘Shivjayanti (the birthday of Shiva)’ in the words of the Supreme Father, is celebrated. The Supreme Soul Shiva isn’t born from the seed (gamete) of a man or the womb of a mother. Through Prajapita, He is the living seed of this tree like human world; He is free from [the cycle of] birth and death and bondages of actions. So, He enters an ordinary, old human body in a divine way, in order to perform His task. This itself is called ‘the divine incarnation of the Supreme Father + Supreme Soul’, because He doesn’t possess His own body. His divine task is accomplished in three phases: establishment, destruction and sustenance. To accomplish these three tasks, He takes the support of three corporeal deity souls, who attain a subtle (avyakt) stage. Those deity souls are: Brahma, Shankar and Vishnu. To know which three souls play the part of Brahma, Shankar and Vishnu after the divine incarnation of Shiva on the stage like human world, it is important for us to know about the incidents from the time of the incarnation of the Supreme Father + Supreme Soul in 1936-37 till now.

From ancient times, human being has made a lot of effort to know the events prior to his birth and after his death and has described it in many ways. Actually, according to [the knowledge given by] the Supreme Father + Supreme Soul, this human world cycle is a wonderful drama of the souls and nature, which repeats after every 5000 years. In this world cycle of 5000 years, every soul comes on this stage like world, takes on this cloth like body and performs different roles. This world drama has been chronologically divided into four ages: Satyug (the Golden Age), Tretayug (the Silver Age), Dwaaparyug (the Copper Age) and Kaliyug (the Iron Age). The duration of each age is 1250 years. The Golden and Silver Age together are called ‘heaven (swarg)’ and the Copper and Iron Age together are called ‘hell (narak)’. Heaven and hell exist on this earth itself, and not somewhere in the sky or the nether world. Since there is one religion, one kingdom, one language and so on in this world, since there is no body consciousness in the Golden and Silver Age of the non-dualistic deities, there is always happiness, peace and purity [there]. There was the Ancient Deity Religion (Adi Sanaatan Devi Devtaa Dharm) in the Golden and Silver Age, in which every soul was called a devi-devtaa (deity) because of being complete with the divine virtues.

In today’s age full of problems, human being doesn’t know the aim of his life. With the help of the scientific inventions, man has made progress beyond imagination; yet he isn’t satisfied. Modern education does make man [into] a doctor, engineer, lawyer, scientist, politician or a businessman, but it can’t enable him to experience the true and permanent happiness and peace. In a hurry to acquire temporary happiness and peace, human being either indulges in vices or becomes detached from the materialistic happiness and becomes a sanyasi (ascetic). However, true happiness and peace is neither obtained through vices nor through renunciation (sanyaas). It can be obtained only by [studying] God’s knowledge and [practicing] Raja yoga while leading a household life. Shri Lakshmi and Shri Narayan and their divine creation, who represent this very life full of true happiness, peace and purity have been depicted in this picture. This picture of Lakshmi-Narayan is also included among the four main pictures, which were prepared based on the divine visions of Dada Lekhraj Brahma. The aim of the present human life, i.e. ‘[transformation] of a man into Narayan and a woman into Lakshmi’ has been shown in this picture.

This world in the form of the Kalpa Tree is a unique tree, because unlike the other trees, the seed of this tree isn’t below, but above. No one else other that the Supreme Father + Supreme Soul Shiva Himself, who remains in the stage of being in the Supreme Abode, through Prajapita Brahma is the imperishable and living seed of this tree like human world, and His creation is shown beneath Him. The Supreme Father Shiva, who is the Father of the incorporeal souls, speaks through the lotus like mouth of the father of the corporeal human beings, Prajapita Brahma: ‘I am the imperishable seed of this world in the form of the Kalpa Tree and just like the essence of the tree is contained in an ordinary seed, similarly, the knowledge of the beginning, middle and the end of this tree like world is contained in Me. When this tree deteriorates, I Myself come, and through true knowledge and Raja yoga, I sow the seed or plant the sapling of this tree once again’.

From the ancient time, learned ones, great souls and philosophers tried a lot to know the secrets of the time before birth and after death of human being. Since Islam and Christianity doesn’t believe in rebirth of the soul, this topic hasn’t been discussed in the literature or the religious books of those religious lands; but in India, rebirth has been accepted for many centuries, so, there is no shortage of literature or books related to this topic here. However, because of just one mistake, the Bharatwaasis have forgotten their golden history and their contribution to the origin and development of the various civilizations and religions of the world. That mistake is to think that the soul is born in 84 lakh (8.4 million) species, because of body consciousness. Even then, Bharat has become the land of actions (karmabhuumi) of God Shiva because of accepting the theory of God’s incarnation and the rebirth of human beings.
