Jeffrey Armstrong’s Spiritual

Teachings of the Avatar

James Cameron’s groundbreaking movie, the word “Avatar” is one we hear a lot these days. What you might not know, however, is that the word Avatar is one of the most important spiritual words in the history of India. Vedic Academy of Sciences and Arts

F

founder, Jeffrey Armstrong, had been studying Vedic philosophy and Indian culture for over 40 years, and was teaching a series of classes on the subject of Avatars, blithely unaware of the film until a student suggested he see it. Emerging from the cinema after the three-hour, three-dimensional foray into another world, Armstrong joked that James Cameron had opened a virtual “Pandora’s Box-Office!” And indeed the movie does address the crucial moment when man’s meddling with Mother Na- ture has created utter crisis – just like Pandora did when she opened her box and all the world ills flew out. Armstrong used these revelations to write the only book

on the subject for a general book-buying audience, Spiritual

Teachings of the Avatar.

Avatar, an ancient Sanskrit word, combines Ava, meaning

“to descend”, and Tara, “to heal and restore” and originates from India. Sanskrit texts have inspired the likes of Albert Einstein, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and are now inspiring millions of yoga practitioners, scientists, progressive thinkers – not to mention filmmakers. An Avatar is a Divine Being that descends from the

transcendental realm to restore peace and harmony to the Earth. There are many ways in which we can learn from this old wisdom – the themes of the word Avatar in fact speak to anyone concerned with the sustainability of Mother Earth, the role of elders in our society, and the greater depths of indigenous and ancient spiritual information.
