[811] Max Müller, Professor Wilson, and H. J. Bushby, with several

and European, have shown that the rite of widow-burning was not
only unsanctionable but imperatively forbidden by the earliest and
most authoritative Hindu Scriptures” (“Widow-burning,” p. 21). See
Max Müller’s “Comparative Mythology.” “Professor Wilson,” says Max
Müller, “was the first to point out the falsification of the text and
the change of ‘_yonim agre_’ into ‘_yonim agne_’ (womb of fire)....
According to the hymns of the ‘Rig-Veda,’ and the Vaidic ceremonial
contained in the ‘Grihya-Sûtras,’ the wife accompanies the corpse of
the husband to the funeral pile, but she is there addressed with a
verse taken from the ‘Rig-Veda,’ and ordered to leave her husband, and
to return to the world of the living” (“Comparative Mythology,” p. 35).

with them that fear Him,” says Psalm xxv. 14. This is a mistranslation
of the Christians, for it ought to read “_Sod_ Ihoh (the mysteries of
Iohoh) are for _those who fear Him_” (Dunlap: “Mysteries of Adonis,”
xi.). “Al (El) is terrible in the great Sod of the _Kedeshim_ (the
priests, the holy, the _Initiated_), Psalm lxxxix. 7” (_Ibid._).

[841] The Hanoumā is over three feet tall, and black as a coal. The
_Ramayana_, giving the biography of this sacred monkey, relates that
Hanoumā was formerly a powerful chieftain, who being the greatest
friend of Rama, helped him to find his wife, Sithâ, who had been
carried off to Ceylon by Râvana, the mighty king of the giants. After
numerous adventures Hanoumā was caught by the latter, while visiting
the city of the giant as Rama’s spy. For this crime Râvana had the poor
Hanoumā’s tail oiled and set on fire, and it was in extinguishing
it that the monkey-god became so black in the face that neither
himself nor his posterity could ever get rid of the color. If we have
to believe Hindu legends this same Hanoumā was the _progenitor_ of
the Europeans; a tradition which, though strictly Darwinian, hence,
scientific, is by no means flattering to us. The legend states that for
services rendered, Rama, the hero and demi-god, gave in marriage to the
monkey-warriors of his army the daughters of the giants of Ceylon—the
Bâkshasas—and granted them, moreover, as a dowry, all western parts of
the world. Repairing thence, the monkeys and their giant-wives lived
happily and had a number of descendants. The latter are the present
Europeans. Dravidian words are found in Western Europe, indicating
that there was an original unity of race and language between the
populations. May it not be a hint that the traditions are akin, of
elfin and kobold races in Europe, and monkeys, actually cognate with
them in Hindustan?

[862] In an old Brahmanical book called the “Prophecies,” by
Ramatsariar, as well as in the Southern MSS. in the legend of Christna,
the latter gives nearly word for word the first two chapters of
Genesis. He recounts the creation of man—whom he calls _Adima_, in
Sanscrit, the ‘first man’—and the first woman is called _Heva_, that
which completes life. According to Louis Jacolliot (“La Bible dans
l’Inde”), Christna existed, and his legend was written, over 3,000
years B. C.
[863] _Adah_ in Hebrew is גן־עדן, and Eden, אלהים. The first is a
woman’s name; the second the designation of a country. They are closely
related to each other; but hardly to Adam and Akkad—כתנות צור, which
are spelled with aleph.
[864] The two words answer to the terms, _Macroprosopos_, or
macrocosm—the absolute and boundless, and the _Microprosopos_ of
the “Kabala,” the “short face,” or the microcosm—the finite and
conditioned. It is not translated; nor is it likely to be. The
Thibetean monks say that it is the real “Sutrâs.” Some Buddhists
believe that Buddha was, in a previous existence, Kapila himself. We
do not see how several Sanscrit scholars can entertain the idea that
Kapila was an atheist, while every legend shows him the most ascetic
mystic, the founder of the sect of the Yogis.

[879] There are archæologists, who, like Mr. James Fergusson, deny
the great antiquity of even one single monument in India. In his
work, “Illustrations of the Rock-Cut Temples of India,” the author
ventures to express the very extraordinary opinion that “Egypt had
ceased to be a nation before the earliest of the cave-temples of India
was excavated.” In short, he does not admit the existence of any
cave anterior to the reign of Asoka, and seems willing to prove that
most of these rock-cut temples were executed from the time of that
pious Buddhist king, till the destruction of the Andhra dynasty of
Maghada, in the beginning of the fifth century. We believe such a claim
perfectly arbitrary. Further discoveries are sure to show how erroneous
and unwarranted it was.

[886] As we are going to press with this chapter, we have received
from Paris, through the kindness of the Honorable John L. O’Sullivan,
the complete works of Louis Jacolliot in twenty-one volumes. They are
chiefly upon India and its old traditions, philosophy, and religion.
This indefatigable writer has collected a world of information from
various sources, mostly authentic. While we do not accept his personal
views on many points, still we freely acknowledge the extreme value of
his copious translations from the Indian sacred books. The more so,
since we find them corroborating in every respect the assertions we
have made. Among other instances is this matter of the submergence of
continents in prehistoric days.
In his “Histoire des Vierges: Les Peuples et les Continents Disparus,”
he says: “One of the most ancient legends of India, preserved in the
temples by oral and written tradition, relates that several hundred
thousand years ago there existed in the Pacific Ocean, an immense
continent which was destroyed by geological upheaval, and the fragments
of which must be sought in Madagascar, Ceylon, Sumatra, Java, Borneo,
and the principal isles of Polynesia.
“The high plateaux of Hindustan and Asia, according to this hypothesis,
would only have been represented in those distant epochs by great
islands contiguous to the central continent.... According to the
Brahmans this country had attained a high civilization, and the
peninsula of Hindustan, enlarged by the displacement of the waters, at
the time of the grand cataclysm, has but continued the chain of the
primitive traditions born in this place. These traditions give the name
of _Rutas_ to the peoples which inhabited this immense equinoctial
continent, and from their speech _was derived the Sanscrit_.” (We will
have something to say of this language in our second volume.)
“The Indo-Hellenic tradition, preserved by the most intelligent
population which emigrated from the plains of India, equally relates
the existence of a continent and a people to which it gives the name of
Atlantis and Atlantides, and which it locates in the Atlantic in the
northern portion of the Tropics.
“Apart from the fact that the supposition of an ancient continent in
those latitudes, the vestiges of which may be found in the volcanic
islands and mountainous surface of the Azores, the Canaries and Cape
Verd, is not devoid of geographical probability, the Greeks, who,
moreover, never dared to pass beyond the pillars of Hercules, on
account of their dread of the mysterious ocean, appeared too late
in antiquity for the stories preserved by Plato to be anything else
than an echo of the Indian legend. Moreover, when we cast a look on a
planisphere, at the sight of the islands and islets strewn from the
Malayan Archipelago to Polynesia, from the straits of Sund to Easter
Island, it is impossible, upon the hypothesis of continents preceding
those which we inhabit, not to place there the most important of all.
“A religious belief, common to Malacca and Polynesia, that is to say
to the two opposite extremes of the Oceanic world, affirms ‘that all
these islands once formed two immense countries, inhabited by yellow
men and black men, always at war; and that the gods, wearied with their
quarrels, having charged Ocean to pacify them, the latter swallowed up
the two continents, and since, it had been impossible to make him give
up his captives. Alone, the mountain-peaks and high plateaux escaped
the flood, by the power of the gods, who perceived too late the mistake
they had committed.’
“Whatever there may be in these traditions, and whatever may have been
the place where a civilization more ancient than that of Rome, of
Greece, of Egypt, and of India was developed, it is certain that this
civilization did exist, and that it is highly important for science
to recover its traces, however feeble and fugitive they may be” (pp.
13-15).
This last tradition, translated by Louis Jacolliot from the Sanscrit
manuscripts, corroborates the one we have given from the “Records of
the Secret Doctrine.” The war mentioned between the yellow and the
black men, relates to a struggle between the “sons of God” and the
“sons of giants,” or the inhabitants and magicians of the Atlantis.
The final conclusion of M. Jacolliot, who visited personally all the
islands of Polynesia, and devoted years to the study of the religion,
language, and traditions of nearly all the peoples, is as follows:
“As to the Polynesian continent which disappeared at the time of the
final geological cataclysms, its existence rests on such proofs that to
be logical we can doubt no longer.
“The three summits of this continent, Sandwich Islands, New Zealand,
Easter Island, are distant from each other from fifteen to eighteen
hundred leagues, and the groups of intermediate islands, Viti, Samoa,
Tonga, Foutouna, Ouvea, Marquesas, Tahiti, Poumouton, Gambiers, are
themselves distant from these extreme points from seven or eight
hundred to one thousand leagues.
“All navigators agree in saying that the extreme and the central groups
could never have communicated in view of their actual geographical
position, and with the insufficient means they had at hand. It is
physically impossible to cross such distances in a pirogue ... without
a compass, and travel months without provisions.
“On the other hand, the aborigines of the Sandwich Islands, of Viti,
of New Zealand, of the central groups, of Samoa, Tahiti, etc., _had
never known each other, had never heard of each other_ before the
arrival of the Europeans. _And yet, each of these people maintained
that their island had at one time formed a part of an immense stretch
of land which extended toward the West, on the side of Asia._ And all,
brought together, were found to speak the same language, to have the
same usages, the same customs, the same religious belief. And all to
the question, ‘Where is the cradle of your race?’ for sole response,
_extended their hand toward the setting sun_” (Ibid., p. 308).
[887] These “magic mirrors,” generally black, are another proof of
the universality of an identical belief. In India these mirrors are
prepared in the province of Agra and are also fabricated in Thibet and
China. And we find them in Ancient Egypt, from whence, according to the
native historian quoted by Brasseur de Bourbourg, the ancestors of the
Quichès brought them to Mexico; the Peruvian sun-worshippers also used
it. When the Spaniards had landed, says the historian, the King of the
Quichès, ordered his priests to consult the mirror, in order to learn
the fate of his kingdom. “The _demon_ reflected the present and the
future as in a mirror,” he adds (De Bourbourg: “Mexique,” p. 184).

genuine metal in a handful of sand that we brought back to Europe.

[895] Colonel Yule makes a remark in relation to the above Chinese
mysticism which for its noble fairness we quote most willingly. “In
1871,” he says, “I saw in Bond street an exhibition of the (so-called)
‘spirit’ drawings, _i.e._, drawings executed by a ‘medium’ under
extraneous and invisible guidance. A number of these extraordinary
productions (for extraordinary they were undoubtedly) professed to
represent the ‘Spiritual Flowers’ of such and such persons; and the
explanation of these as presented in the catalogue was in substance
exactly that given in the text. It is highly improbable that the
artist had any cognizance of Schott’s Essays, and the coincidence was
certainly very striking” (“The Book of Ser Marco Polo,” vol. i., p.
444).

[903] There are pious critics who deny the world the same right to
judge the “Bible” on the testimony of deductive logic as “any other
book.” Even exact science must bow to this decree. In the concluding
paragraph of an article devoted to a terrible onslaught on Baron
Bunsen’s “Chronology,” which _does not quite agree_ with the “Bible,”
a writer exclaims, “the subject we have proposed to ourselves is
completed.... We have endeavored to meet Chevalier Bunsen’s charges
against the inspiration of the “Bible” on its own ground.... An
inspired book ... never can, as an expression of its own teaching, or
as a part of its own record, bear witness to any untrue or ignorant
statement of fact, whether in history or doctrine. _If it be untrue
in its witness of one, who shall trust its truth in the witness of
the other_?” (“The Journal of Sacred Literature and Biblical Record,”

[912] These, after their bodily death, unable to soar higher,
attached to terrestrial regions, delight in the society of the kind
of elementals which by their affinity with vice attract them the
most. They identify themselves with these to such a degree that they
very soon lose sight of their own identity, and become a part of the
elementals, the help of which they need to communicate with mortals.
But as the nature-spirits are _not_ immortal, so the human elementary
who have lost their divine guide—spirit—can last no longer than the
essence of the elements which compose their astral bodies holds
together.
