Hi,
While reading this article I hit upon a familiar word - a surname of one of our top professors Diana Eck. http://www.eckankar.org/ This webiste reveals her interest in Eastern spirituality. Now I realize that perhaps her course titled "Hindu Mythology" is such becos she is able to differentiate (sift the grain from the chaff) from Indian/Hindu religious literature/practices--and not becos she is biased. She did nod her head favorably, on my comment in the seminar on "wfie abuse and faith" that all religions have mythical characeters (as per our current knowledge) then why single out non-Western faiths as "Hindy mythology".
Noone talks of mythology in Islam, Judaism or Christianity though.

Thanks for the two excellent messages from the Eck master. Can you
write something about why we need to be Eck masters BEFORE we die?
Maybe something about fear of death and loss of control after death.
Eckankar literally means "One (no longer two) Ankh (Om, N. N.N., Nu,
On, Ong, Nak, etc.) Body (vehicle, kar, kaya). Paul Twitchell
originally used the word, "Eckankar", to describe Out-of-Body-
Experience (OBE's or OOBE's) or Near-Death-Experiences (NDE's, which
are often a person's only experience into the Astral Realm of Soul
Travel).
To be able to do this at will, is considered to be Liberation from the
Suffering of Entrapment of Consciousness in the physical dimension.
Thus, we overcome one of the Eight-Fold Sufferings. Some religions
preach this as "complete Salvation", but that could only be true if
one
overcomes the other seven sufferings, thereby. Note that Eckankar
literally means "Androgynous (Newborn) Body" (the "Only Son of God"),
and Eckankar figuratively implies Atman's (the soul's or "Ka's" in
Egyptian) travel into Akasha - the "Kingdom of Heaven". God is the
Perception and Experience of this Bliss, which MUST be WITHIN US.
By the Way, any who have lingering doubts about "Nut" meaning "female
water", should ask an Egyptologist. I am telling you the meaning of
the
word. Then you can tag it onto anything wet you like, as a label,
i.e. "the Sky Goddess", and Osiris often implies a Body of Water. And
no, I pull most of my commentaries from memory, and, for the most
part,
I don't remember where I read it. So, I guess you must simply trust
another "wild claim" by Swamiji, that some ancient Egyptians were into
Rasa Tantra, or you can chase the "pied piper" who was recently
banned.
Jai Om. Om is Ankh, with the same consonants as Nak, the serpent,
which
is Naga in India, and traditionally appears on all kosher Siva
Lingums,
and is traditionally identified with Kundalini (the Holy Spirit). A
pity that, ever since the Naga fell out of the Tree of Life, and ate
the dust of the ground, it has been considered an image of evil, in
the
West. In the context we describe, one must consider the original
meaning of the serpent. In Egyptian art, Nut is often portrayed in the
Tree of Life, pouring water to her man, who is drinking it.
Similarly, Holy Water is poured over the sacred Siva Lingum - the
image
of man and woman conjoined by Advaitamrita - the Nectar of Sexual
Union - joined, like Adam and Eve, "as ONE FLESH",! In other words,
their mutual DNA's have merged, by a pairing of the chromosomes of
each
partner, and Mitosis has occurred, thus rendering their two Bioplasmas
and DNA Genetic Codes IDENTICAL! Symbolized as entering the Holy City
(New Jerusalem, Varanasi, where Two Rivers Merge as Shushumna Nadi,
symbolized as the Sacred River Ganga), they complete their Mission to
Attain At-One-Ment with each other, which also bestows upon them Union
with the Higher Consciousness of the True Divinity, beyond all
idolatrous names and forms! RadhaKrishna RasaMishra, Sitaram Satanam!
Jai Om. - Swami Tantrasangha
