WHO IS THE MAHANTA?

Sri Harold Klemp

The Mahanta liberates Soul from the grasp of the Kal forces. He is the good that dwells in the heart of every mortal creature. He is the beginning, the life span, and the end of all mortal creatures. He is the radiant sun, the wind, the stars of the night, and the moon. He is the king of heaven, of the sense organ, of the mind, of consciousness of living.

He is the spirit of fire, the spirit of the mountains, leader of all priests, the ocean’s spirit, the greater seer; the sacred syllable ECK, the tree, the ant, the thunder in the heavens, and the god of fishes and sharks.

He is time and the eagle, the lion and bear, the rivers of the wood, the sustainer, the newborn babe, and the old man preparing to die. In all things is his face, and in all life is he the divine seed. In this world, nothing animate or inanimate exists without him.

This is the Lord Sugmad in action, and one atom of Its body sustains the worlds upon worlds. Not only is he the king of this world, but in all worlds, all plants, all planes.
