the answering Oracle wonder
|
A brief definition: Tâmrapothi
is a device which reads your thought-process to get the
question you want to ask, and then provides answers to your questions on
blank metallic plates. The answers are indited only temporarily, and as
soon as you close the the tâmrapothi,
plates become blank again. Further details are provided below.

pronounced as alphabet "a" in "as").

Author's note

Tâmra
means Copper and Pothi
means an oracle. From a simple external and physical point of view, the
tâmrapothi
is a small book-like object consisting of fifty-four copper plates (~
3" x 8"). When one goes there, and thinks about any question
or puts the question written on a paper on the
tâmrapothi,
the answers to the questions are temporarily indited on its pages. The
thinking process or putting the paper-containing-questions is started
after a short ritual (by the Brahmin who operates the
pothi)
which takes about half-a-minute. The answers are indited instantaneously
and after the book is closed, they all disappear.
The answers are read by the Brahmin
who operates the pothi; but on a formal request one can
see the letters by himself or herself. The answers come in the form of
ancient old-styled prose, and the Brahmin
interpretes them and explains after reading the prose aloud.
As the letters/scripts are very small and the inditations are not too
strong, it is usually read using a magnifying glass (lens).
It is normal that one has questions and at times seeks some timely
solution.
The tâmrapothi at Kakatpur is a rare
phenomenon, to the
astonishment of many strictly scientific-minds, which serves the people
having some needs. The barrier of language is nothing but a
human-limitation. But for this divine-device, the language is no
limitation. One can think the questions or write it in any language.
However, the answers on this particular
tâmrapothi comes only in Oriya language.
You got to have a translator (from Oriya to your language). There is
another pothi
, made up of different metal,
which can receive and give answer in various other languages (discussed
somewehere later).

Based on authors
experience(open to all, anyone can go):
The place is situated in the
front end of KAKATPUR, a small town/moderate village in Orissa, India.
The nearest major town is PIPILI, approximately 20 kms from BHUBANESWAR,
capital of ORISSA. From BHUBANESWAR to PIPILI one can take a bus, and
from there to KAKATPUR, there are some inconvenient conveniences. If
affordable and you are in a group, its better to take a TAXI. The small
ASHRAM or HUT is situated at the front-end of the village, just facing
the town-SCHOOL. As its a small place, and has only one school at the
front-end, you cannot miss it if you reach the town.

What
to do after you reach ? |
After you reach
there, you
first have to get a token and then wait till your number/name comes. How
long you have to wait depends on how many people
are already there in the line. The preferable time is early morning, so
best is ito try to reach at about 7.00 am. Then you have a good chance
before 10.00 or 11.00 am.

After your term
comes, get
inside the inner room after wearing some clean dresses (preferable typical old-cultured Indian
dhotis). The gents have to wear such a dress as it might not work with
the largely-used trousers and pants. The ladies can wear a saree
or traditional ladies-dresses. Make sure that you didnot take
non-vegetarian food or alcohol the day you are seeking as the
tâmrapothi will stop working till its
again made alive by the operator. You can see there
Pundit Amareswara Mishra along with the
tâmrapothi. The
tâmrapothi
is a bunch (54 precisely) of
thin copper plates.
These plates are all blank (nothing is written) and collectively are all
kept on another larger sized metal plate (a "Bhubaneswari Yantra" is
inscribed on it).
The pundit performs a small ritual (about 30 seconds) and
activates the pothi before each time a seeker asks questions (explained
below). After this activation process, a seeker can ask questions.
There are two ways
to ask your question (only after the activation):
1.
Hold a piece of chalk (will be provided there) and touch it with the
forehead; then think your questions what you want to be answered. Then
put the chalk in the ORACLE and open any page. The answers pop-up
starting from the page you open.
OR
2.
Write
your questions on a paper, fold it, put it on the ORACLE.
Then touch the provided chalk in your forehead and request mentally to
answer the questions and open any
page; the answers will pop-up.(see photo below of the
various parts). Even if you write your questions in a paper, fold it,
and put it on the ORACLE it is important that you still touch the chalk
in forehead and make a mental request with respect or atleast with
modesty. This mental request process forms the link between you and the
ORACLE.

The
answer is:
as you like. There is no fixed rate, no price, no demand, no
verification. The service is for free, but the Brahmin has to live, has
to maintain his family and survive. There is a small cloth, on which you
can put whatever amount you feel like, depending on your satisfaction, will,
and financial abilities.

By
choosing to answer this question, which rather is very abstract, the
authors have chosen a difficult task. Because, only
a mystic knows the mystery of his mysticism. But below is an
explanation which was partly answered by the divine itself and partly by
one of the five disciples of His Holiness Baba Shri Buddhanath
Das.
As
for every machine, there are two aspects: Science
or the theory, and technology or the engineering part. Drawing
a roughly parallel comparision, the working
of the tamrapothi
has also two parts:
-
there is a
SADHANA behind; the Science part
-
there are
YANTRAS and
MANTRAS; the technical aspect.
1)
The sadhana behind: SHUNYA SADHANA
and and
the motivation behind the creation:
(The following answer was by the divine (English
translation of a theme from the
tâmrapothi)
after the question was put by the author)
The answers in the
tamrapothi
are given by Mahapurusha
Achyutananda vide Lord Jagannath. At that time (~500
years before), in
Orissa, there were no proper medication facilities and other life-saving
and problem-solving avenues. Hence, this
tâmrapothi
was instrumented by Mahapurusha
Achyutananda as a
divine gift, specially for suggesting Ayurvedic medicines that will be
affordable and available to the seekers. Even though medicine was the
primary focus, it was/is capable of providing every type of solution. He
had instrumented it in Orissa (Udra desha) but the
tâmrapothi
's service is for the whole mankind. It remained hidden for a
while (few hundred years) and is again recovered at this time to do the
crucial Yugakarma (duty of the era).
Mahapurusha Achyutanada was a Shunya Sadhak.
"Shunya Shunya MahaShunya, tamadhye
Parambrahma". This sadhana, in a simplified sense, means: to
reach the Sun, which is a symbolic for the ParamBrahman, with one's soul. One who can
reach the Sun with his soul and come back, gets the ability to know the
answers to everything in the Universe (BiswaBrahmandaGyana). He also
gets the ability to enter to any other body living or non-living (Jada
athaba Jivanta). In this way, he (Mahapurusha) answers in the
tâmra
pothi and the
tâmra
pothi has the instrumental capacity to survive one solar-era (i.e.
till this Sun is there the pothi can work, until he himslef wants to take
it back). Also who has become successful in ShunyaSadhana has no
limitations regarding language, as language is only a human-limitation, the
thought-waves are all the same. The Sun, as we see it, is not a
stand-alone naked body. It has 10 different layers or rings (solar layers). When
a sadhak performs the ShunyaSadhana, he
successively penetrates each of the layers. Each layer has its own
property, and bestows different knowledge. By doing this sadhana, Mahapurusha
Achyutananda had acquired every knowledge. No wonder, the
pothi
answers to every question, be it
spiritualism, illness, Science, or society. One who succeeds in
ShunyaSadhana, has no limitation anymore, he can be emerged in God and also
can maintain his/her own identity. In another language he becomes a
part of the Parambrahman. This was also the reason, that he had written
(could write) so many literature, including concept of
body-spirit-soul, atoms, molecules,
nuclear science, solar science, space science, and very high
spiritualism etc. The
"Shunya Yantra"
is a symbol which offers this knowledge; if one sees carefully it
consists of ten circles representating ten solar layers and the dot (bindu)
representating the parambrahman. By virtue
of this ShunyaSadhana, Mahapurusha Achyutananda has instrumented this
answering device in the form of a
pothi.
Practically, he could make it in anything (living or non-living), as
a ShunyaSadhak acquires these capabilities.
2)
The working-technique behind: YANTRAS and
MANTRAS
The tâmrapothi
is kept on the
"Bhubaneswari Yantra"
made of Copper. In all the pages of
tâmrapothi
several
Yantras are inscribed. When the
mantra are
applied to Yantras
of tâmrapothi,
the Yantras disappear and the thinking of the person and his
query and answers are inscribed as letters in
tâmrapothi. The same is
the case of roopâpothi
(Silver Pothi). Tâmrapothi
inscribes only the Oriya
scripts, where as the roopâpothi inscribes several languages
e.g. English, Hindi,
Parshi, Arabic, German etc.
The detail procedure is narrated subsequently.

given below)
Meaning of INDEX (A, B, C, D) given in photo
A =
The pages of Tâmarapothi. To receive
the answers, the questioner opens any page and answers are
instantaneoulsy inscribed in that page and the following pages.
The number of pages in which answers
are inscribed are not fixed an depends on the volume of answers, Usually
four to eight pages can be expected.
B =
Another palm-leaves pothi
in which Mantras are written. These Mantras are applied by Pundit
Amareswar Mishra to activate the Tâmarapothi
everytime before a seeker asks questions (written in paper and folded or
thinks)
C =
A concave plate of metallic alloy on which Bubaneswari
Yantra is inscribed. The Tâmarapothi
(bunch of 54 plates) is kept on this Yantra during the process of
activation and asking questions by a seeker.
D =
A seeker had written his questions a this paper. The paper is folded by
the seeker and is put below the
Tâmarapothi.
E
= A piece
of chalk that muct be touched on the forehead by the seeker and then be
put on the Tâmarapothi
before a page is opened. This process makes mental link between the
seeker and the
Tâmarapothi.
how
Tâmarapothi
works (continued from the paragraph before the Photo):
(the explanation of the working technique behind this unusual
phenomenon given by one of the 5 disciples of His
Holiness Baba Shri Buddhanath Das):
His
holiness (Mahapurusha Achyutananda
and Baba Shri Buddhanath Das) use to answer via
the Tâmra (copper) and Roopâ (silver)
pothis
handled by Pundit Amareswara Mishra at Kakatapur,
Orissa, India. According to my
conception, it has a mechanism similar to that of a television. As
we know, a
television set has a machine (Yantra)
which, through Arial/Antenna (another Yantra),
receives the photos and the voice (as electric transmission) and
applying energy (electricity) we are able to see the picture using a
picture tube (Yantra)
and hear the sound. Likewise, the
pothi is kept on a plate on which Bhubaneswari Yantra has been carved.
You may think of it as the machines of television set.
Pothi
consists of several plates, and
several Yantras have been carved on each of the plates of the pothi. Pundit Amareswara
Mishra (popularly and locally called as Bhaina) uses a
tâlapatra-pothi
(palm-leaf pothi) where
mantras have been written
(see photo above). He applies those
mantras to
the pothi. The Yantras disappear the moment energy is applied to it and those lines
are converted to letters and a person could read the scripts. Then the question
arises how the answers come from space and how the
pothi reads the mind
of the person who is putting the question :
all the thought process (though waves) of a human being and the work
he had done has been transmitted to the space (in a subtle frequency domain) and stored therein. The time
a question is put, the thought process is transmitted to the space and
through
pothi
one can know the questions put, and
the Yantra brings the answers from the space which has already been stored therein.
The truth is: all answers are already there somewhere (spiritual people
call it SHUNYA or "vaccum") and it is grabbed forcibly by some
means. Nothing is new or was not known before, the question is when you
know it. Ram
Das (one of the twelve
previous incarnations of Baba
Shri Buddhanath Das) was the only disciple of
the Mahapurusha Achyutananda, who was able to read the mind of his
Guru
through
his Bhaba (feelings). His guru had invented this procedure and
the execution part is done by Ram
Das. Guru and Shisya are one and the same. Having two bodies and one Bhaba and
throught process. As you know Baba Buddhanâth Das is the 13th birth
of Ram Das. If anything is not stored in the space the question of the
questioner directly comes to the mind of Baba Shri Bhudhanath Das who sends the
answers to the space and pothi attracts the same from the space and Bhaina could
read the same. I am having the knowledge of several
pothis
in Orissa and
one pothi
in the South (of India). I am having no knowledge about the
South-India pothi. Among the
pothis discovered in Orissa, it appears
that all of them belong to Mahapurasha Achyutananda except one
which belongs to Nabaratna (nine GEMS) of king Vikramaditya. There can not
be any dispute regarding the techinque but the operater of
pothi has to apply
the energy (Mantra) perfectly to revitalise the Yantra to letters. The operator
should be a Sadhaka to apply
Mantra
(energy) to Yantra (machine). Since all of
them are not able to do this perfectly, so always the true answers are not coming on pothi.
Mahapurusha Achyutananda had written thousands of
books, but in fact he had not himself written all, the moment he thinks
about the subject, Ram Das used to write the same immediately on
tâlapatra
pothi (palm leaves),
tâmra
pothi (copper),
roopâ
pothi (silver) and
sunâ
pothi
(Gold) by means of Pancha (five) kalam (pen).

From where the
pothis were recovered
?
|
Tâmrapothi
was recovered from a well of Abadhuta Math,
at Konark, in Puri district, Orissa, India, where
Baba Artatrana Das is the presiding Seer and
roopâpothi
was recovered from Gupteswar, the Shiva Khsetra,
Koraput district, Orissa, India by his holiness (Baba
Shri Buddhanath Das) and was handed over to Pundit
Amareswara Mishra to operate the same. The
sunâpothi
(Gold pothi) will be recovered from Paradweep and we are waiting for the
said day.

(shot by the Author)
("mpg" files; click on the title to choose a theme)

THE RITUAL:
For initiating the Pothi for a specific person. The person has to
tell his name only and tne Pothi is activated for that person. This
process of activation is the necessary first step for asking questions.
|
|
POTHI BEING READ:
After the ritual, a person can ask questions (written on paper
and subsequently folded, or mentally asked by touching the chalk on the
forehead). Then the answers come from the page opened by the seeker.
This shows how the answers come in pages and Pundit Amareswar Mishra
reads and explains the answers.
|
|
SIGN WHEN ANSWERS DO NOT COME
While touching the Chalk on forehead, the seeker must think in mind for
few seconds and mentally request Mahapurusha to give answers. It is
important to make a mental contact. If one just touches the chalk on the
forehead without making a mental contact and puts the chalk on Pothi to
open, then there will be no answer. Here, the denial comes in the form
of a Yantra (2 circles at one center, lotus petals inside the circles,
and 1 triangle). Then Pundit will allow to ask again and the ritual is
also repeated.

Authors
note
(independent
self-examined view)
The authors
do not urge to believe on the absolute accuracies of the answers. But if the
questions are not too hard (e.g. how to fly instantaneously), the
answers are more than just satisfactory. Also, the phenomenon described is a fact and
is open to one and all. Anyone can follow the route described above and
examine in his/her own way. Prevalently, the oracle gives the
answers in Oriya language, but I am aware, there is another one which is
multi-lingual. I suppose, upon request, Pundit Amareswar Mishra will
also use the multi-lingual roopâpothi
(made up of silver); but I cannot promise whether he will definitely
fulfill your wish. The
roopâpothi
gives answers in 14
different languages: Oriya, English, many
south-Indian languages (e.g. Tamil), Hindi, and German etc
(the primary author has tried it; lucky enough !). But
it might be difficult for the operator to read these languages as he has
no formal language-education. So its better to get the answers in
tâmrapothi
in Oriya and take the help of a
translator if one does not know Oriya. However, for
the sake of realizing the
fact, one can request and try to see that.
One can also carry a
dictation machine and record what he speaks aloud to analyze later.
In the whole event,
anybody can see the instantaneously appearing
letters/sentences and explanations and that your thought-process is
actually being read !
This oracle is probably one of the few existing
wonders, that is open to all and can also be
independantly verified. It is not
limited to any religion, language, or nationality as long as one follows
the basic regulations (described above) and is modest while asking
questions. Arrogance and pride are not going to help; but unbiased
inquisiveness (with modesty of course) is not unwelcomed.
The Oracle is giving service for more than 20 years
(since 1980 apprx.). Everyday (except Wednesday, eclipse-days, and
Garoi-functions days) it serves between 20 to 50 people on various
issues like job, disease, social complications, sadhanas (spiritual
practice) including mantras, yantras, business issues, etc. It is an
undisputed-Wonder created by the great saint Mahapurusha Achyutananda.
As is heard by the author from some reliable sources of the Garoi
Ashram, the time of Yuga Karma is very close. Most probably, the service
will be closed soon for the public once the Yuga Karma proceeds
rigorously in secret. So the authors cannot guarantee how long it will
be allowed for the public, but as of early 2004 it is still working and
is expected to be open to all atleast till end of 2004.
Strange
are the ways of the divine, which at times surpasses the human
understanding to confirm the fact that, there is something beyond what
we have perceived so far or what we can perceive. It is as foolishness
as to reject a fact out of prejudice as to accept certain things
blindly. Accepting blindly is the characteristic of a gullible mind; at
the same time rejecting facts because of limited experience, knowledge,
exposure, and prejudice is a strong indication of "lack of
imagination, vision, and understanding".
