This young lotus, which has blossomed as if it has witnessed the gentle sight of the full, moon-like, knowledge-named world-illuminating, perfect, *bedha-chandra*, appears to have attained full bloom! (See the figure on the front page.)
“Like the moon, the *gadashti* opens gradually;
Attaining full *yoga-kala*, it plays in the form of God.” – *Gadashtikalash* (self-composed) or *Garupurusha* is the one who has eight *gangas* as his eight limbs. Among them, *yama-niyama* are the two feet, *asana-pranayama* are the two hands, *pratyahara* is the abdomen, *dharana* is the chest, *dhyana* is the neck, and *samadhi* is the head. The fullness and non-duality of these eight limbs is the non-dual fullness of the *Garupurusha*, just as it is for a man with non-dual, complete limbs. Any deficiency or incompleteness in even one limb is a deficiency or incompleteness of the *Garupurusha*, just as it is for a man with a deficient limb, a cripple. Just as each limb in the human body has its proper place and usefulness, so too does each *ganga* in this *yoga-sharira* have its proper place and usefulness. Just as all the limbs and parts of the body work together in coordination to perform all the actions related to the body, so too do all the limbs of the *Garupurusha* work together in coordination (organic unit) to perform the actions of a *yoga-purusha*. Just as air is the body and the body and breath are one, so too is the soul the *Garupurusha* and the *gangas* are its essence. As the *gadashti* develops and each *ganga* manifests and becomes stronger, the soul becomes more and more established in its nature. When the eighth *gadashti* develops, the eight-limbed *yogapurusha* attains its peak development and the soul is fully active in its nature.
“The eighth *gadashti* is the essence of *samadhi*, its name is ‘*para*’ I know;
Its nature is fully active, like the moon, I praise it twice.” – Shri K.D. Saxena.
And thus, when the moon-like *gadashti* blooms in full bloom and the *Garupurusha* attains full development, the fullness of the *gachakra* leads to the “fullness” of this *bhavachakra*, that is, the end of this *bhavachakra*. The eight *gangas* are the spokes of this *gachakra*, they are closely connected to the *gana* which is the form of the soul, and they revolve around it, that is, they are active as the instruments of the soul’s nature. This *gachakra* is truly the invincible “*Sudarshan Chakra*” that raises the *bhavachakra*. This pure “*Dharmachakra*” that destroys the enemy of *bhavachakra* is called “*Arihant*” by the true name of the supreme *cheminath* who creates it, and by attaining the state of the soul, he makes the name “*Siddha*” meaningful.
