🌻 The Main Gandharva  - 2 🌻

Another Gandharva is Vena. He presides over the path from sleep to awareness, from death to birth and from dissolution to recreation. For us, the most important characteristic of Vena is that he wipes out the binding karma and lifts up. For this, Master CVV gives a specific meditation: “Vena, the Gandharva, is wiping off the pictures of the subconscious mind on the walls of my nature with the hieroglyphs of sounds from his seven stringed lyre.”

In the Mahabharata Vena is described as a fiery river flowing through the kingdom of Aquarius. The upper part of the forehead is governed by Aquarius. We can visualize the energy of Vena above our Sahasrara, how it enters at the top of the forehead, reaches the Ajna and awakens all the seven centres with his touch through the Sushumna. This touch awakens the hieroglyphs of sound (the vibrations of the lotus leaves) in the centres, and the sound conducts the related alchemy. Thus, the impressions in the subconscious mind get dissolved and the Karma gets neutralised. Then the energy ascends in us – the serpent sheds off its skin and becomes an eagle.

A third Gandharva is Visvavasu; Visva means ‘universal’ and Vasu ‘be-ness’. Through him the universal be-ness enters into life as the individual be-ness. Visvavasu is a cosmic principle which presides over the musical sense and the romantic muse in the created beings. It says that Visvavasu conducts the ‘marriages’ of solar systems on the cosmic plane and also the marriages on earth.

A fourth Gandharva is Chitraratha. Ratha means ‘the vehicle’. In creation, all forms are vehicles because the beings move in them. Chitra means peculiar, wonderful. To a being, its own vehicle is wonderful.

We should not let ourselves get confused by the names. It is better to know the Gandharvas by their function than by their names, since their functions are universal.
