VIRAJA symbol of the principle or plane of buddhi. "Viraj, as a kind of secondary creator, is sometimes regarded as male, sometimes as female. Manu (I. 11) says that Purusha, 'the first male' was called Brahma and was produced from the supreme self-existent Spirit. In I. 32, he says that Brahma having divided his own substance, became half male, and half female, and from that female was produced Viraj, and that from Viraj was born Manu—the secondary progenitor and producer of all beings." - MON. WILLIAMS, Indian Wisdom, p. 24. "Viraj" as male is atma-buddhi. Purusha, or Brahmā, is God manifest, produced from the Absolute. The division of substance is into Spirit and Matter, and it is from the Matter aspect that the buddhic plane (Viraj) is formed. Then from buddhi (Viraj) is produced the mental plane on which the Divine Mind (Manu) creates the ideas of all forms for the reception of the lives. |
