Sorath is Saurashtra
As all of us here know, the information that is readily available to the public is either watered down and/or corrupted. Almost all information about the God known as Sorath (and our Gods in general) are taken from Jewish sources. Western occultism…
“[…] called in the Jewish mystery tradition Sorath, made up of the Hebrew letters Samech, Vau, Resh, and Tau. Moreover, each letter in the Hebrew alphabet has a numerical value: Samech = 60, Vau = 6, Resh = 200, Tau = 400. If we add this together, we have the number 666.”(1)
Samech
Vau
Resh
Tau
In other words, ‘SVRT’ gives ‘Sorath’ which adds up to 666 in the Jewish Gematria. I am not going to write out the Hebrew symbols in this post, but if one reverses the order of the above letters (left to right), the result is Tau, Resh, Vau, Samech - which spells out a Hebrew word for ‘DESTROY’. See the Google translation for proof: https://translate.google.com/?hl=en#iw/en/%D7%AA%D7%A8%D7%95%D7%A1
In addition, most information available about him online and in books is extremely negative. I could go on with the Jewish numerology and the Jewish sources, but they are worthless on their own because they are rip offs. They are only useful when you have something to compare with, as to find the original source of what the Jews stole.
As High Priestess Maxine has noted before, many of our Gods’ names are seen in city names across the East, like Astaroth. Sorath is the Prakrit name of Saurashtra (Sanskrit: Saurāsṭra), which is a peninsular region of Gujarat, India. The names mean "good country":
"Literally the name means a good country. It was so named probably on account of the natural fertility of the land, Sorath is well known for rich crops of all kinds, and splendid cattle."(2)
To understand the history of the names used for this location, we need to consider the history of the location itself:
"The ancient city of Junagarh was known since the invasion of the Greeks in India, when the peninsula was known as Soorashtra. The word 'soo' meaning good and 'Rashtra' stands for country in Sanskrit. Some historians believe that Saurashtra came from the word 'Sourya' meaning Sun. Mughals, the the time of Emperor Akbar, conquered the peninsula and the people of Junagarh fought bravely, but they lost the battle. The Muslims named the place 'Sorath' which is a distorted form for Saurashtra."(3)
Moving on with the original Sanskrit name. In dissecting the name, 'Sau' is the mantra for expanding the fire element (S) with the AU, which High Priest Don explained:
"Its not Sa its Sau this is the normal expanding of the mantra with the AU. The AU relates to the meaning of immortality and truth. And the SAU mantra does appear as Sau as well in bija mantra's. Its expanding the fire element the S with the AU." (4)
Then there is the suffix 'rāsṭra' which literally means empire or kingdom: (5)
"It is the oldest and biggest territorial term. In the Rgveda and later Samhitas, it denotes 'kingdom' or 'royal territory'. It is considered to be one of the Prakrtis (constituents) and refers to a country." (6)
As thus, the spiritual meaning of the name Saurāsṭra is literally ‘good kingdom’ or ‘royal kingdom of expanding fire, immortality, and truth’. This is the Solar Chakra. We know the God popularly known as Sorath to be a God of the Sun which rules the Solar Chakra.
More on the Solar Chakra:
"The true meaning of the "Temple of the Sun" is spiritual. This symbolizes the perfected soul, where the rays from the solar [666] chakra, which is the center of the soul and circulates spiritual energy, radiates into 8 separate rays. The shining soul is symbolized by the sun. 8 is the number of Astaroth." (7)
As noted by High Priestess Maxine Dietrich, eight is the number of Astaroth, and this can be seen in her name, as "ashta"/"asta" is Sanskrit for the number eight. This being in Saur-asht-ra as well can be no coincidence, considering all the above-mentioned connections to the Solar Chakra. This further confirms the Sorath-Saurashtra-Sun connection.
Now, briefly returning to the Jewish BS, Sorath is called the ‘spirit’ of the Sun. This all ties in with the Hebrew Numerology. In the The Philosophy of Natural Magic by Henry Cornelius Agrippa (Agrippa), frankincense is attributed to the astrological sign of Leo (8) which is ruled by the Sun. Again, all the so-called ‘traditional’ sources such as Agrippa, Rudolf Steiner, and the like are corrupted. But looking up Saurashtra in the Sanskrit dictionaries, we find that it also means frankincense which can be no coincidence. So, the location “Saurashtra” refers directly to the one we know as Sorath, in more than one way. Saurashtra also means brass [an alloy of copper and zinc], alchemically speaking. And ‘bell-metal’.
To reiterate, modern sources are corrupted. But the Jews ironically left traces as they always do because they are parasites and they need their sympathetic connections. This was one of them. I included the above references to the Jewish BS to establish the connection to the actual source.
As High Priest Hooded Cobra mentioned in a recent sermon, Alexander the Great tried to reinstate the Vedic culture:
“Through Roxanne also and the noble family Alexander tried to expand into the Hindu region in order to manifest the first objective of the empire which was the restoration of the Vedic culture. But he died before any of this even manifested properly.” (9)
Alexander went into India in 327 BCE:
“Alexander did not visit Kathiawad, but he came very close to it, and very probably, indeed, recon- noitred the coast of Anarta (Kachh), which then formed part of Saurashtra.” (10)
The Greek geographer Strabo ended up calling the area Saraostos.
Going further back, Saurashtra is mentioned in the Mahabharata:
“The Mahabharata, the great epic refers to Saurashtra (N.B. Sabha 38 and Bhishma Parva 10. 47) and also to Kushasthali (Dwarka) as the place where Shri Krishna of the Yadava race came.”
“Baudhayana Dharma Shastra (1.2.13) and Kautilya Arthashastra (Ch.11) both compositions of second century B.C., refer to 'Saurashtra'. To early Greeks, this western peninsula was known as "Saraostus" and "Surastrene". The etymology of Saurashtra is disputed, one is that it is derived from Su - good, Rashtra - State and the other the compound of Saura and Rashtra, meaning "the land of the Sun".
“The early history of Saurashtra from legendary times upto the 4th century B.C. is obscure and considerable research is necessary both by archaeologists and historians before evidence could be found to establish facts. Mahabharata mentions that Shri Krishna Yadava left Mathura and came to Dwarka, along with his elder brother Balarma, who married Rewati, the daughter of king Rewat of Dwarka. These Yadavas, however, do not seem to have been permanently established in Saurashtra.” (11)
The region is Saurashtra’s domain. It has been subject to intense battles, and the Muslims ended up destroying the Somnath temple a number of times:
“During all this period the incursions of Muslim invaders had not left Saurashtra unaffected. In A.D. 1024 Mahmud of Gazni sacked the Somnath temple. Subsequently in A.D. 1297 Alafkhan, a General of Ala-ud-din Khilji sacked Somnath temple again and appointed a Muslim Governor to rule from Junagadh. Saurashtra thus came under the rule of the Viceroys of Muslims Sultans of Dehli, though the Rajput chieftains in greater part of Saurashtra continued their autonomous sway. After two incursions on Junagadh by Mohmed Tughluck in the middle of the 14th century, came the expedition of Mohmed Begda; the Sultan og Gujarat, captured Junagadh (1473), forced the Chudasama ruler to embrace Islam and busied himself in settling the newly conquered territory of Sorath […]” (12)
The Somnath temple is SAURASHTRA's temple. As we know, the more spiritual significance something has, the more the Jews and their Christian and Muslim lackeys HATE it and want to destroy it. And like I wrote above, the backwards Hebrew spelling of SORATH literally means DESTROY. So what significance does the Somnath temple have?
“The Somnath temple located in Prabhas Patan near Veraval in Saurashtra on the western coast of Gujarat, is believed to be the first among the twelve jyotirlinga shrines of Shiva. It is an important pilgrimage and tourist spot of Gujarat. Reconstructed several times in the past after repeated destruction by several Muslim invaders and Portuguese, the present temple was reconstructed in Chaulukya style of Hindu temple architecture and completed in May 1951. The reconstruction was completed by Vallabhbhai Patel.”
“The temple is considered sacred due to the various legends connected to it. Somnath means "Lord of the Soma", an epithet of Shiva. The Somnath temple is known as "the Shrine Eternal", following a book of K. M. Munshi by this title and his narration of the temple's destruction and reconstruction many times in history.” (13)
‘Lord of the Soma’ is a very revealing title. The Soma is secreted by the pineal gland through stimulation from the Solar energy of the Solar chakra. As thus, the Solar chakra is the Lord of the Soma. The sixth is the Lady. The Somnath temple (referring to the pineal/sixth chakra) being located in the region of Saurashtra (the kingdom of the Sun) conveys a powerful spiritual allegory. Somnath is also strikingly close to Sorath.
More info on the Somnath temple:
“The site of Somnath has been a pilgrimage site from ancient times on account of being a Triveni sangam (the confluence of three rivers: Kapila, Hiran and Sarasvati). Soma, the Moon god, is believed to have lost his lustre due to a curse, and he bathed in the Sarasvati River at this site to regain it. The result is the waxing and waning of the moon, no doubt an allusion to the waxing and waning of the tides at this sea shore location. The name of the town Prabhas, meaning lustre, as well as the alternative names Someshvar and Somnath ("The lord of the moon" or "the moon god") arise from this tradition.” (14)
There we have it again. The lord of the Moon is the Sun. Also, the above quote mentions the rivers ‘Kapila, Hiran and Sarasvati’ flowing together at one spot and uniting into one. This is an allegory for the Ida, Pingala, and Sushuma, respectively. The Kapila is Ida, Hiran (the gold) is the Pingala, and Sarasvati is the Sushumna and the unison of the three in the head. The three sixes with the middle six as the uniter:
“The Swan, Saraswati sits on is the symbol of the left and right hemispheres of the brain with the pineal gland in the center in esoteric symbolism.” – High Priest Don (15)
As with all of our Gods, the Jews have corrupted the true identity of Saurashtra, Somnath, or ‘Sorath’. They literally left a message for their own to DESTROY this being and everything connected to him because of what he represents. (16) Which, first off, is the 666 (which Sorath in the Jewish magickal systems is personified as) and what this represents. And this is only the tip of the iceberg. The Somnath temple of Saurashtra is just one temple in an enormous region.
Sage Dhaumya describes the holy places in Saurashtra Mahabharata, Book 3, Chapter 88:
“I shall now, O Yudhishthira, describe the sacred spots, and asylums, and rivers and lakes belonging to the Surashtra country! O Yudhishthira, on the sea-coast is the Chamasodbheda, and also Prabhasa, that tirtha which is much regarded by the Gods. There also is the tirtha called Pindaraka, frequented by ascetics. In that region is a mighty hill named Ujjayanta which conduceth to speedy success. Regarding it the celestial Rishi Narada hath recited an ancient sloka. By performing austerities on the sacred hill of Ujjayanta in Surashtra, that abounds in birds and animals, a person becometh regarded in heaven. There also is Dwaravati, producing great merit, where dwelleth the illustrious Vasudeva Krishna.” (17)
What else is hidden in plain sight?
