Brahmapura is the City of
The Vedantic Seer speaks of
the heart as the seat of Brahman that looks like the lotus bud, where inside is
the subtle illumination of God is the home of the divine absolute.
The word Brahmapura is a
compound of Brahman, the ultimate reality or universal consciousness and Pura
(City), symbolizing the relationship between the individual and the infinite
divine presence as the physical manifestation of the absolute love from the
heart.
The philosophy behind this
is the intricate nature of human existence as being the abode of Brahman and
the heart as working governance, residing within all living beings.
The concept emphasizes that
while the body is transient and material, it serves as a dwelling for the
eternal and imperishable atman or soul, which is ultimately God in humanity and
the creation of his image.
The heart is compared to a
City, or Pura, which serves the individual soul or Jiva, supplying the
necessity of the governance and reflection of the infinite God as home within
this central life-force and the body-central-city.
As one makes progress in
philosophical ponderings and meditations, one becomes capable of subtle
perceptions and its determined faculty, in which is the most refined part of
the mind and its reflections of the beloved God resides.
Here is where the intimacy
in stillness is established, from the physical heart to the psychic level of
consciousness that transcend the loving feeling of God in the heart of prayers
as the universal consciousness.
The deep is calling into
the deep, or the quote, the only way out is deeper in, is the realizations of
the Absolute without any senses of the mind.
The reality and nature of
wisdom, purity and eternal love beyond time, space and causation is emphasized
in the heart of love to the point of the ‘happy ever after’ calling. The
formlessness and the silence are the ineffable experience of what true love is.
This implies that within
the framework of existence, the physical form, with its sensory organs and
capabilities, is designed to serve God as the love-life-force.
The lotus of the heart is seen in a psychic or spiritual sense as the inner sanctum where God can be realized through loving introspection.
This interior city,
Brahmapura is the place where one comes into direct communion with the Divine
and where the atman merges with Brahman in the office, to reflect non-dualistic
thinking and where the divine is immanent within the individual, yet
transcendent beyond it.
The metaphor of a city
reflects an organized and structured system where various parts of the body
serve the needs for all people in the city to maintain its crucial necessities
and growth.
The city or the heart acts
as the central palace where God and the ultimate reality govern all
possibilities.
The idea of Brahmapura is
similar to many spiritual concepts that emphasize the sacredness of the body as
the dwelling place for the divine. Brahmapura is the temple of the Holy Spirit for
spiritual realization, where compassion is about the awareness of the
Buddha-nature within.
The lotus of the heart is
used in modern spiritual literature and teachings that focus on
self-realization, meditation, and the practice of cultivating inner awareness.
Many pilgrimages are the
journey to heart of matter where the camino is the core of conscious
development to the city of the heart.
The determined self-discipline
and self-realization is the emphasis to see the body as a vessel for higher
spiritual development.
The antiquity of the
Upanishads continues to inspire modern spiritual movements, bridging ancient
wisdom with contemporary spiritual practice to the heart of the unconditional
love that needs to be shared with other human hearts and the kingdom within.
