Mahamanvantara

**Mahamanvantara**
The great interludes of time between two solar systems. This term is frequently applied to the greater solar cycles. It implies a period of universal activity. Initiation, Human and Solar - Glossary

You will see, therefore, how synthesis is achieved at the end of a greater mahamanvantara//.// The three rays absorb the seven and lead eventually to a merging in the synthetic ray. LOM, p 234

Again in the solar system itself similar action will eventuate at the close of a Mahamanvantara. The Logos will withdraw within Himself, abstracting His three major principles. 37 His body of manifestation - the Sun and the seven sacred Planets, all existing in etheric matter - will withdraw from objectivity and become obscured. From the usual physical standpoint, the light of the system will go out. TOCF, p 87

The first Logos is the Ray of Cosmic Will. His mode of action is a literal driving forward of the solar ring-pass-not through space, and until the end of this mahamanvantara or day of Brahma (the logoic cycle) we shall not be able to conceive of the first aspect of will or power as it really is. TOCF, p 145

//Inertia//. This characterizes every atom at the dawn of manifestation, at the beginning of a solar cycle or mahamanvantara (or one hundred years of Brahma), at the commencement of a chain, of a globe, or of any spheroidal form whatsoever without exception. This statement, therefore, includes the totality of manifesting forms within the solar system. TOCF, p 157

From the cosmic standpoint a Heavenly Man can be seen as a sphere of wondrous life, which includes within its radius of influence the vibratory capacity of an entire planetary scheme. He vibrates to a certain measure, which can be estimated by the activity of the life pulsating at the center of the sphere; the entire planetary scheme is tinctured by a certain color, is rotating to a fixed key which is the key of His life cycle within the still greater mahamanvantara or logoic cycle. TOCF, p 251

The thought of cyclic activity necessitates periods of time of differing length - greater or lesser cycles - but (according to their length) of uniform degree. A manvantara, or Day of Brahma, is always of a certain length, and so is a mahamanvantara. The cycles wherein an atom of any plane revolves upon its axis are uniform on its own plane. TOCF, p 273

In connection with these two planets, it must be remembered that Venus is a sacred planet and the Earth is not. This means that certain of the planets are to the Logos what the permanent atoms are to man. They embody principles. Certain planets afford only temporary homes to these principles. Others persist throughout the mahamanvantara. Of these Venus is one. TOCF, p 298

The cycle of objectivity of a solar Logos persists for the greater mahamanvantara or solar cycle because it is based on will as well as on wisdom and manas. TOCF, p 333

A man can attain group consciousness; he can vibrate to the note of the Heavenly Man in Whose body he is a cell; he can demonstrate in relative perfection fire by friction and solar fire, but it remains for a later mahamanvantara to reveal the true nature of Spirit. TOCF, p 529
