The Dwaitha concept of Taoism

In my earlier post, I brought to light the scientific inventions of the eminent siddhar Bogar through his Sapthkaandam (Bogar 7000). After consuming elixir Bogar remained in samadhi for seven yugas (song:417), and came out to carryout his duties. Under instruction from his guru Kaalangi, he flew to China through Aagaya pravesa by having Gegana gulika in his mouth and hand that helped him to swiftly ascend to sky and fly. Having reached China, he learnt and practiced alchemy and medicine to help mankind. He had to apply one of the ashta siddhis parakaaya pravesa and lived in the body of a Chinese old man, henceforth came to be known as Laotzu.

Bogar understood that this new body will not withstand several years to live. He powered it through sufficient breathing exercise and consuming elixir (kayakalpa). Bogar kindled the kundalini shakthi at Moolaadhaara energy spot. This enabled him to make the Sakthi rise up through wavy motion to unify with shiva at the Sahasra chakra in skull. After this, Bogar @ Laotzu named himself as Bo-yang, the one who achieved the path of happiness. That means one who attained the Satchithaanantha state of bliss. This enabled him to live in China for several thousand years and continue with the work entrusted by his guru. He had high esteem for his guru Kaalangi and paramaguru Tirumoolar.

In Chinese version, the Shakthi- Shiva concept is the Yin-Yang.  This implies that matter exists with two equal and opposite energies that have control over each other. Since the matter has Dwaitha vasthu, he coined it Tao-Te that lead to Taoism. This is the religion founded by Laotzu. He is regarded to have been a disciple of Confucius who was an avatar of guru Kaalangi. The Dwaitha concept of Shiva-shakthi is Taoism. The arising fiery kundalini is the flying Dragon. (However, the Chinese history does not speak about Bogar or Kaalaangi.)

The Dragon

Got frustrated with the unethical ruling dynasty, Bogar @ Laotzu decided to leave China around 4BC and head to Meru (Himalayas) hill. At the request of the fort gate keeper, it is understood he composed Tao-Te Ching. Upon reading the work of my guru, I can say that it is the Chinese version of Tirukural, a Tamil work that speaks about the moral being and way of living. At the gate, Laotzu preached him and thus came out his famous works, Tao Te Ching.  

It is believed that Bogar remained in the Meru hill for several centuries and went on to compose 7000 verses called the Sapthakaandam. Around 2AD he had come to the south to carry out his desires. Bogar was the first guru of Mahavatar Babaji who was initiated to sidha yoga kriya while doing tapas in Kathirgaamam (Srilanka). He later sent him to sage Agasthiya to finish his yoga sadhana at Pothigali hills.

Mahavatar Babaji

Perhaps, one may wonder and raise doubt about the authenticity of Bogar as Laotzu. There are references to verses of sage Agasthya and Bogar in Tamil works through which we can establish a link.

After embracing Bogar at Pothigai hills (Tirunelveli district), sage Agasthya said:

‘My son, you flew to a distant land, learnt sadhana

 Awakened kundalini and gave yourself a name’

Siddha Bogar mentioned in his song in second kaanto:

“Awakened the moolaathaara, realized the sachithanandam,

 Called myself Bogar, a name very unique in this world;

 Lived in the land of Parangis for twelve thousand years

 Taught salt alchemy and elixir to the white skinned Chinese”

In my research on the works of Bogar, I found that he had no where mentioned about Laotzu. As per Chinese history, Laotzu took 13 earlier incarnations in China and each spanning between 800 to 1200 years on average, thus summing to 12000. Laotzu was the final avatar of his. Since all siddha songs have pseudo names (soonya sambaashai) encrypted in songs, it is difficult to decipher direct meaning without siddha’s blessing. The Chinese history tallies with Bogar’s narration, ‘Lived in the land of parangi (foreign) for 12000 years’.  No wonder that Hindu philosophy is the base of Chinese philosophy and Dwai-tha became Tao-te.

It was Mahavatar Babaji who disclosed the secret that Lao-tzu was none other than his guru siddhar Bogar.  My beloved guru siddha Bogar revealed his identity to me few years ago and thus I came into the siddha research.  I owe my success and wisdom I gained to the holy feet of my guru.
