Having finished his retelling Grisha silenced for a while, as if he was reflecting upon whether to continue the topic or tell of problems connected with his own life in India.
It was at a turning point that time; I couldn’t decide completely whether to stay here or to leave. At first the guests from Petersburg called me to return to Russia, but after I shared my opinion about the essence of what was going here they considered that I was better to stay in the ashram. Because neglecting the total worship, from their point of view Swami seemed to be very lonely, and he probably needed a help of some close friend. Really, feelings I have to Swami are even more lofty that to my parents.
Grisha silenced again and looked at Holmes absently as if trying to summon an image of Sai Baba.
But what were the questioned asked by Russians that Sai Baba rejected to answer in women’s presence?
They wanted to ask about who was the true initiator of the submarine “Kursk” wreckage, which stroke the world on August 12, 2000. They had been told that Swami was able to show it creating something like a virtual TV-set. But during the conversation they abandoned this idea; may be because he answered very dimly on their questions about the Universe structure. They had the harmonious theory about it, which they considered to be known to ancient Egyptian and Indian zhretses. May be they tried to check their theory, but they explained to me, that even if Sai Baba had known it he wasn’t able to retell it and moreover on an alien language. Probably that system of knowledge is thus closed from people not privy to it. I can only witness for that in the end of discussion Swami was much more interested in his guests than they in him. And for a farewell Swami told that Russians would help India to wake up and India would follow Russia.
And what did the Russians tell concerning the “picnics”?
They explained that the problem was not what was painted at them, but in the morality of those, who interpreted the symbolic pictures of the “picnics”. Little by little I began to understand that in the case of the wreck of submarine “Kursk” they worried even not because the fact of such perfidy, though they thought that “Kursk” was sunk by torpedoes of the USA’s NS. They worried whose insane will or insouciant automatic execution of duties had brought the world before the nuclear war. In their opinion, not a single country (and the USA as well) has a right to unleash nuclear war, which would mean the ruin of the whole civilization. And that’s why they had a strong conviction that the USA would be punished stronger that one could imagine. And that retribution was somehow encoded in the third “picnic”. Surely when I had learned the “black Tuesday’s” events and the time of the first attack of the WTC I unwittingly returned to pictures of the third “picnic”. Moreover the Indian analytics were among the first who had noticed the symbolism of the number 11 connected with the kamikaze-planes. And what can you say, Mr. Holmes, about the catastrophes in New York and Washington?
Now I would say only that the “picnics” strangely follow me all over the world. However, I’m not going to keep from you that I really occupy myself with them and have collected much interesting material. I hope that it directly concerns the solving of our riddle.
Holmes briefly narrated about his meeting in Switzerland, Spain and Egypt. Then he proceeded to India.
In the last year in October the press wrote a lot about Russia’s President Putin’s visit to India. I wonder if he was here, at Sai Baba. How do you think?
I can’t say precisely. However, according to many traces, he was. In India they know how to organize visits in such way that nobody would see anything. He surely was in Bombay, and Russian delegacies, which always were much in the ashram and that time they were seven, waited for their President impatiently. During the second meeting with the Russians Swami evaluated the Presidents Clinton and Eltsin with a single word: bad. When he had been asked about Putin he answered: very good. That’s why if Putin had wished to meet with Swami, such meeting could take place, though there was no official information about it in Indian press. But I think that something infiltrated through the cover of secrecy. Two months later I got a videocassette from Russia with the telecast “Puppets”, devoted to the secret visit of Putin to Sai Baba’s ashram.
And what is “Puppets”, Grisha?
It’s one of popular TV-shows in Russia, which is watched by near one hundred millions watchers every Sunday. It’s an analogue of French popular show “Guignols d’Info”. There, all the first persons of the state and other famous political figures appear as puppets and plots are every time taken from the Russian or foreign classics.
In its matter it is right: statesmen are “clock-work puppets”, programmed by the official “Protocol” and professional duties. They stop to be puppets only after they have understood it. Then human relations with ordinary people, other politicians or journalists became more significant for them than official etiquette and hierarchy. Only after it the power can serve to everybody as it should: on the base of personal human relations in the sphere of ruling. As the Russians said, the epoch of “the Protocol” had ended and an epoch of business common to all mankind began. Now personal relations are more important than any official power. And the basis for it is the unity of emotional and notional soul system of everybody, which becomes common for different people.
What does it mean, Grisha?
The Russians explained me that the English-speaking countries found a common language also because their statesmen speak the same language. And they support the speech sense with similar images, which any mutual understanding is based on. It is that indeed, what you’ve met with during your short conversation with Sai Baba. In the form of images during the direct biofield change one, talking to another, can transfer much more information that with words. That’s why any discussion with a translator goes too hard. A translator as well as a statesman, who have different rank during the talks, is a peculiar person. He has his own images of any objective phenomena, which don’t coincide with images of another one in their nature as well as in order. And no matter how does a translator try to interpret a sense of chief’s words precisely. His images would differ from images of his chief: it’s so in the hierarchical society at least because a translator has no right to think so as his chief thinks. Since the same manner of thoughts is a direct infringement of official power of his chief usurpation.
Thus appears a break of unity of emotional and notional system of talks on any problem. Because any translator, who has his own peculiarity of imaginational concepts, which don’t coincide with his chief’s concepts, is “three’s a crowd”. The very Russian President Putin opens a new era of relations of statesmen, because his knowledge of English and German helps to supply the unity of emotional and notional sense of any even the most difficult talks.
Grisha, and if they hadn’t used it earlier, in the past? Could it be a border between two epochs?
They used, but their aims were always defined by their morality. Remember, what did Thatcher said in 1984 after her meeting with Gorbachev: “I looked in his eyes and understood that it was possible to deal with him”. I think it was like a password-phrase for whole western “elite” and it could be interpreted in such way: “This man is ready to work for us”. Mr. Holmes, agree that Gorby’s measure of understanding was much lower than the measure of understanding of “iron lady”. And the same about Eltsin! One of Clinton’s councillors announced publicly Clinton’s words about Eltsin: “I prefer to deal with drunken Eltsin than with any of hundred millions of sober Russians who could have been at his place”, – it isn’t word for word, but the whole sense is clear. But in year 2000 the position changed. Sai Baba meant the very this thing when he evaluated Putin to be “very good”.
Though one can even thank Eltsin for that he broke “the Protocol” with his drunken tricks, thus clearing a way to the new epoch. Well, let’s return to the “Puppets”.
I don’t know whether it’s true or not, but people in some circles check the political course of the country with this show.
And why did you decide that the show was devoted to visit to the ashram of Sai Baba?
It would be easier to watch the cassette; but it is impossible here, as you see. Moreover, it wasn’t left to me. So I can only retell briefly the subject. After it you, Mr. Holmes, will decide by yourself how does the “Puppets” refer to President’s visit to the ashram of Sai Baba.
The plot is that Putin gathers his official family: the Prime Minister Kasyanov, the head of President’s administration Voloshin, Minister of Defence Sergey Ivanov, who took up a post of the President of the Security Council in the last year during Putin’s visit to India, and another unfamiliar puppet. And he poses a problem: “I need to visit Shambala, everybody hut on national clothes!” Everybody is dressed in the same white clothes as we are; but Prime Minister Kasyanov in the national Russian clothes – Russian shirt and boots. When Putin asks what the problem is, he answers that he doesn’t wish to wear drawers. Indeed white shirt and trousers that everyone wears in the ashram looks similar to after bath’s clothes of Russian men. Thus firstly Kasyanov and then the head of administration Voloshin, who has come being drunken, become fired from Putin’s party. It means that there are two evident signs showing that it’s told not about preparations to visit a mythical Shambala but the real ashram of Sai Baba. Here all men wear white clothes and a strict prohibition to smoke and drink alcohol drinks.
I have felt it myself, – Holmes noticed. – But the strange thing, we’ve been here for two days but I don’t want to smoke. I even think about giving up this pernicious habit.
It’s all about the general atmosphere of striving to health, which appears to be a special cult here, – explained Grisha. – And if you spend here a month or two you’ll give up smoking without great efforts. Well, only three persons including Putin left in the group of the candidates for visiting the ashram. In other words a certain analogy with September visit of the three Russians, I’ve already told of, appeared. Then go the frames where Putin’s party meet the puppet of the main Russian jester and leader of the liberal-democratic party (LDPR) Zhirinovsky, who imitates a cobra charmer. The cobra tries to bit Putin, but Sergey Ivanov protects him with his body and dies. Here I should draw your attention, Mr. Holmes, to the associations referred to the already known Conception of Social Security, which Russian abbreviation is COBa. But as those Russians have told me, some figures from LDPR[84] wishing to limit the conception activity to the Russian borders added a letter “R” to the abbreviation COBa and get COBRa instead. They explained that “R” as “Russia”. It was made intentionally to associate the negative Zhirinovsky’s image with the conception. As I think, the authors of the show know the COBa and thus express their negative attitude to it. Moreover from that light humoristic episode one can understand that the President’s “tutors” are worried that Putin can connect with the COBa.
After it according to the plot Putin and the accompanying puppet meet Solzhenitsyn (I think you know what hopes were pin on him by the West in the past). The three of them take part in the ritual that you’ve seen today in the temple before Sai Baba’s appearance – they cry “Ho-o-u-um!” After it Putin disappears. Solzhenitsyn stays alone and says the significant phrase: “How could it be, I’ve been sitting for half a year and he’s got it at once!” After this phrase we here got an impression that somebody of the scenario writers knew about Putin’s visit to Sai Baba’s ashram. As you have assured, one can be invited from the first only if he meets certain conditions and rules, which are quite difficult to be followed. However even I got know of them only after two years in the ashram from the representatives of the Conception of Social Security. And those six women and two men whom Swami rejected to see the second time had lived here waiting for an audience for half a year as well.
And you, Grisha, do you consider Putin to know about the conception? – Holmes asked a question.
For me it’s difficult to suppose, since I haven’t been in Russia for a long time. But the Russians stayed here think that everybody in the senior government is acquainted to the materials of the conception. The question is in their attitude to it. Mr. Holmes, having visited different countries you could become assured that even in that places people knew about it; and the questions raised by it are serious enough. I’ve read the literature attendant to the conception, which consists of more than thirty titles; I looked to the site www.dotu.ru – Everything is very serious and sound but… it doesn’t fit in the existing stereotypes of apprehending the surrounding world, which have formed on the basis of the biblical conception. Putin’s “tutors” call “deadmen” those who have understood the new conception and tries to actualise it. They don’t like the literary-epic name of the Conception of Social Security – “Dead Water”. By on Russian there is a peculiarity. Deadman – is “мертвяк”, but the Water is “мёртвая”. These two words “мЕртвая” and “мЁртвая” are distinguished well by their pronunciation. However, they are written nearly similarly. The only difference is two dots above «Ё».
Grisha wrote letters «ё» and «e», and seeing Holmes’s misunderstanding explained.
Remove two dots above letter «i» and «j» in English hand-written text, and you’ll read them as «y»[85]. Here too the problem concerns two dots. As I know today in Russia the real war has unleashed: if to leave or remove the letter «ё» from the Russian alphabet. I hadn’t understood the causes of frantic zeal of both sides for long time, until I told with the guests from Petersburg. The matter is whether to save or to reduce the expressive meanings of the language. Agree that even in English earlier there were more letters and each of them was significant. But now, for example, the letters «þ» and «ð» both are written as «th». And hence there is no unambiguity in reading them. The same is in Russian: the alphabet before Peter the Great consisted of 46 letters and now – after the Revolution of 1917 – only of 33.
Well, let’s return to the “Puppets”. The extremely straightforward logic, which in my opinion expressed in showing the puppet of the President of the Security Council “bit” by cobra, in the notification system opposing to COBa means: Sergey Ivanov is ineligible for using within the biblical conception. And if to analyse materials of the Russian press and television it’s easily seen how much money is spent to any nonsense and rubbish for make a reader and watcher not to think about anything serious. It means that mass media, as it is, creates something like interference or “white noise” which prevents from distinguishing the “valuable signal”, i.e. the information, necessary for taking the only right decision. However, it isn’t because of good life, but because today in Russia it is very hard not to notice the conception alternative to the biblical one, because it isn’t a figment of imagination of some group of people, who realizes some public initiative. It is an objective need of the new informational state, in which has the whole society found itself after September 11, 2001. Nevertheless the COBa’s enemies can do nothing but pretend not to notice its existence. Though, it couldn’t last for long. Longer mass media cover it up higher rises the “water” and more it presses the “elite”. And those, whom the “elite” considers to be a crowd, will make sure more and more stronger of viciousness of the “elite” that constantly looses its authority. This will make plain people think by themselves. It’s the main condition of transformation a crowd into a nation.
You, Grisha, say about it so surely that a question arises unintentionally whether you join the very that “public initiative”, which calls itself the Internal Predictor of the USSR?
It surely gratifies me that I hear such an evaluation from you, Mr. Holmes, but it isn’t so. And I say so surely because I myself passed through all the stages: from the primary aversion of the culture, I was born in, via the recomprehension the personal stereotypes formed by this culture, and to looking for the alternative to it. I wouldn’t say it was easy. I came even here as a result of unconscious search of an alternative to the biblical culture. I found a peace of mind for some time here. But later I understood that it had been a peace of zombie, and it is more dangerous than the life in Russia I fled from.
What is the danger you see?
The fascism.
Sorry, do you want to say that fascism can appear in India?
Everything depends on what is understood under “fascism”. Today the question about a threat of “fascism” as a rule is mostly led to ideas of national or racial oneness and intolerance; to real or supposed encroachments on the rights of minority groups and diasporas; and also to symbolism and phraseology of “fascism” inherited from Germany and Italy. However, Indian Vedantic (or Vedic) culture is elder than Ancient Egyptian culture, which gave birth to the biblical culture. And in Vedantic culture the both symbols, which followers in last decades are blamed for fascism, exist: David’s star (Zionic fascism) as well as fylfot (national-socialism of Germany and neonazis from different countries who copy it).
Besides, a word-combination “little people” is typical for all crowd-“elitist” societies as an antonym to other combinations – “best people”, “noble people”. As I could make sure the Indian caste system hasn’t disappeared. It was only put into fine-looking attractive form, like slavery in the biblical civilization. I hope, Mr. Holmes, that you paid your attention to almost three million strong part of India’s population, which is called “little people”? Did you pay attention that they didn’t demand anything? During many generations they were convinced that it is determined from above, that they just were unlucky in those lives but if they were obedient they would be born in another caste. But even others, who don’t join the caste of “little people”, consider it to be quite normal. It’s interesting that when your ancestors had come to India they couldn’t find an analogical word to name the Indian “lowest caste”. They became to call them in their own way: “little people”, though higher castes of Indian society called them otherwise: “non-existing people”. And this is one of the signs showing that the Indian caste system, which has been existing de-facto for many centuries, as it is, is one of the oldest forms of fascism on the Earth.
Grisha, honestly, it is quite unexpected conclusion. As I know the word “fascism” origins from the Latin “fascia”, which meant a bunch of rods tied round a strap and having an axe in its middle. In Ancient Rome fascias were at first a symbol of Emperor’s power, then a symbol of power of supreme state officials – so-called “magistrates”. “Lictors” – servants and bodyguards of magistrates – carried fascias of their masters. In the modern history “fascism” as a social phenomenon became famous in Italy. Indeed, it was born there on the basis of protestant emotions of many “little people”, who in the society of “freedom” of personal initiative had become oppressed by the individualism of big and very big oligarchs[86] that abused different powers at their own discretion. Since such protesting movement was created in Italy, its ideologist had pretensions on the heritance of former greatness and power of Roman Empire. And they expressed those pretensions in choosing the roman fascia as a symbol of unity of “little people” for protecting their lives from oppression of “big people” – oligarchs. Thus fascia gave a name to “fascism”, which at first was a protestant movement headed by the leader of “little people”[87] against the oligarchy. But I see neither oligarchs nor leaders, and the main, nor striving of “little people” to unite against invisible or “non-existing” oligarchs.
And I firstly told the same objections to my friends from Petersburg when they had indicated on the Indian fascism, Mr. Holmes. The fascism indeed is considered to be a misanthropic ideology, but you wouldn’t find such an ideology here. Moreover all spiritual practices, there is a great many of them in India, outwardly are aimed at man’s perfection. But look at the reality, think what possibilities to become humans do these three millions have? Here they value plants and animals higher than men; they adore every bush, every tree; if the road is built and there is a tree on the way – the road will go around and nobody has a right to damage it. But at once nobody notices the “non-existing” third of population of the huge and fabulously rich country. In India the organized crime nearly doesn’t occur, though East, West and Russia are infected with it. Look at policemen: whether they wear too much weapon and armour? They have only a stick or rod, but… the order is perfect! The West cannot but envy. Why? – Because the society is strictly stratificated and so it evolves during many millennia. What can these pitiful unhappy “little people” steal one from another? – A piece of polyethylene, a stone to make a fireplace near a runoff ditch? And transfer from one caste to another is impossible.
Fascism really works for unification of a society and seek after maintenance of its stability in the succession of generations. However it is unification of a society into a system, where certain conflicts between members of the society fallen into fascism and conflicts between the fascism in whole and some people can occur; thus it possesses a certain peculiarity. The principles of fascistic unification of a crowd-“elitist” society into an entire system are directed to excluding formation and possibility to work of any off-site factor, which is able to undermine the fascistic stability: wash it out during more or less long time or immediately (to historical measure) completely ruin it. As we can see there are no condition for formation and activity of any off-site factor, which is able to undermine the fascistic stability, in Indian society. We deal with the complete fascism; with the purified fascism, refined of any ideological form; with the fascism as a peculiar system and culture, which prevent the formation of humaneness in the society.
And here one should understand that fascism doesn’t appear as a result of some coup d’Etat, when a group of extremists gets the power with force or comes to power during the democratic elections after what it created a “fascistic dictatorship”. The whole society falls into fascism slowly and unnoticeably, under certain circumstances probably specially created. Unfortunately it is so, Mr. Holmes, because the essence of fascism is not any ideology, violence or meaning to execute the power. Its essence is that “little people” actively support the system of abusing the power by “elitist” oligarchy, which presents the unrighteousness to be a “true righteousness”. And on this basis perverting people’s morality they cultivate the unrighteousness in the society and prevent people to become humans.
But look at the fascism which is known by historical experience of Nazi Germany and which became a cultic model for “neo-fascists” as well as for “anti-fascists” of different countries. Within the aforesaid understanding of the essence of fascism in spite of forms and meanings of its expression, that fascism appears to be a caricature freak-fascism. And it was artificially and intentionally grown to be surely unable to function, for attracting as much attention as possible by its horrors; and thus to divert the society’s attention and powers from the formation of much more capable fascism, which will be if not hopeless then near to the hopelessness of the global inferno.
Interesting, –Holmes noticed. – I hear this word the second time for my trip. On Latin it means something like hell, but you Russians read into it some sense that is far from theology or mysticism but very actual in life.
Ivan Antonovich Efremov’s novel “Bull’s Hour” can give rather good answer on your questions. I don’t know if there is translation in English. But you should know that in Russia for nearly thirty years the worldview of several generations is formed – if it isn’t for whole youth, then at least for its most active part. In the novel it’s told about the poem of Dante, who created the gloomy picture of multi-stage inferno and explained the terrible essence of the name “inferno” – its inescapable hopelessness. And earlier only occultists understood it.
The concept of inferno in the best way explains the essence of refined fascism, to the sources of which we paid our attention. Hence I try to briefly retell certain theses of that, what was very precisely formulated by Ivan Efremov – geologist, palaeontologist, biologist and historian at the same time.
First, he considered that the notorious natural selection is the most glaring example of the infernality, in which the evolution follows the single direction – the direction of greatest freedom, independency from environment. With all this a multiplication of immature, a hypertrophy of sameness, like sand in a desert, a break of originality and unique preciousness because of countless repeats happen. So going through the trillions of transformations from unknown sea creatures to thinking organisms the animal life was in inferno for billions of years of geological history.
Second, he rightly thought that human as thinking creature is trapped in double inferno – for body and for soul. At first a man thought that he saves from all life’s problems by escaping to nature. Thus ware created tales about pristine heaven – biospherically harmonious civilization without mechanics and machinery, which even today our “greens” dream of returning to. Inferno for the soul is the primordial instincts, a trap, which an individual holds himself captive in thinking that he keeps his individuality, but really he stops his development at the animal level, or at the level of zombie or demon, closing for himself thus the way to humaneness. With the development of mighty state apparatuses of power and oppression, with the strengthening of nationalism, with strictly closed border, infernos also began to be created in society. Any imperfect social system aims to self-isolation protecting its structure from contacts with other systems. Obviously, only an “elite” of any society was able to save the imperfection. And for this it primarily created the segregation under any pretext – national, religious etc. – to turn the life of its people into the vicious circle of inferno, to separate it from other world. That’s why the infernality was always “elitist” clans’ handwork. Ivan Antonivich warned the mankind not to let the world power of oligarchy – the main source of fascism. If it happens, over our planet will be shut down the lid of total hopelessness of infernal existence under the thumb of absolute power armed with the whole might of terrible weapon and same-murderous science. And nobody and nothing will help, because it will be impossible to escape from the circle of infernality, where only animals and its varieties – zombies and demons – will come into the world under the blind instinct of reproduction and species saving.
And in that philosophical-political novel, Mr, Holmes, there is a place where the author, though not mentioning India, tells about the culture, in which people with their strong feelings, memory and ability to understand the future have already realized that as any earthly creature they from their birth are doomed to death. And the question for them is only the time of execution and the suffering they are to bear. And the higher, purer, generous is an individual – the greater measure of suffering will be given to him by the “lavish” nature and the social being. And are there no pure and generous men between three million of “little people”? But the “lavish” nature and the “social being” have forever given them the full measure of suffering, which neither they nor surrounding people notice. And where is the exit from this real and not literary inferno?
Sorry, Grisha, but I think that you lay it on thick, when speaking about India. It seems to me that you had a dream about “Indian fascism”.
It isn’t so, Mr. Holmes. Being a Russian I like India with all my heart. And I spent the three years not only in the ashram of Sai Baba. You’ve lived in Bombay for two days. Did you turned the TV on?
Yes, Grisha, I did. I changed the programmes: there were more than 80 channels and everywhere they sing, play Indian musical instruments, dance folk dances. What is bad? The national culture is protected. In many western rather difficult to understand where are you – the single American standard.
I also don’t admire the western culture, but it reflects the real life somehow. But one cannot know the life of India by its films. And the Western critics created a popular formula of estimating the Indian cinema: “There are good films, bad films and Indian films”. But in the reticence it is the West’s self-estimate of its inability to understand the real aims of the Indian cinematograph. However, only the film studio of Bombay makes more than eight hundreds films a year – true Bollywood, as it is said here.
And what do you think to be the main goal of the Indian cinema, Grisha?
I think that cinematograph is the basis of religion in India. When we discussed the absence of the category “concept” in the Ancient Atlantis we didn’t raised the questions of religion and worldview. One can say that the origins of Indian cinema culture lay in the Ancient Atlantis. And the modern Hollywood is a pitiful imitator of the Indian cinematograph. Look at American films – a simple row of images, bright and catchy, but not a single thought, not a concept, not a dialog touching a people’s soul. Ask any spectator, who has exited from the cinema after an American film, what did its character speak of? He will look t you as if you are mad and answer that American guys don’t speak but act. The same is happening in the Indian cinema, but there are more exquisite images, more colours, dances, and music. I.e. it’s the well-designed languages of images. And it’s not surprising that many people look at Yankees like at rich monkeys. India in Indian films is like a peculiar advertisement – charming-beautiful, musical and full of puritanical love. But the saddest is that many people, and not only in India, like this “cinema– ersatz-life”. And now compare what you’ve seen in the real life with the cinema and with what has Efremov written about the inferno. You will understand that “I didn’t dream of Indian fascism”.
