COLLATION OF THEOSOPHICAL GLOSSARIES
List of Title Abbreviations (in alphabetical order)
TG G. -- The seventh letter in the English alphabet. "In Greek, Chaldean, Syriac, Hebrew, Assyrian, Samaritan, Etrurian, Coptic, in the modern Romaic and Gothic, it occupies the third place in the alphabet, while in Cyrillic, Glagolitic, Croat, Russian, Servian and Wallachian, it stands fourth." As the name of "god" begins with this letter (in Syriac, gad; Swedish, gud; German, gott; English, god; Persian, gada, etc., etc.), there is an occult reason for this which only the students of esoteric philosophy and of the Secret Doctrine, explained esoterically, will understand thoroughly; it refers to the three logoi -- the last, the Elohim, and the emanation of the latter, the androgynous Adam Kadmon. All these peoples have derived the name of "god" from their respective traditions, the more or less clear echoes of the esoteric tradition. Spoken and "Silent Speech" (writing) are a "gift of the gods", say all the national traditions, from the old Aryan Sanskrit-speaking people who claim that their alphabet, the Devanagari (lit., the language of the devas or gods) was given to them from heaven, down to the Jews, who speak of an alphabet, the parent of the one which has survived, as having been a celestial and mystical symbolism given by the angels to the patriarchs. Hence, every letter had its manifold meaning. A symbol itself of a celestial being and objects, it was in its turn represented on earth by like corresponding objects whose form symbolised the shape of the letter. The present letter, called in Hebrew gimel and symbolised by a long camel's neck, or rather a serpent erect, is associated with the third sacred divine name, Ghadol or Magnus (great). Its numeral is four, the Tetragrammaton and the sacred Tetraktys; hence its sacredness. With other people it stood for 400 and with a dash over it, for 400,000.

TG Gabriel. According to the Gnostics, the "Spirit" or Christos, the "messenger of life", and Gabriel are one. The former "is called sometimes the Angel Gabriel -- in Hebrew 'the mighty one of God', "and took with the Gnostics the place of the Logos, while the Holy Spirit was considered one with the Aeon Life (see Irenaeus I., xii.). Therefore we find Theodoret saying (in Haeret. Fab., II., vii.): "The heretics agree with us (Christians) respecting the beginning of all things. . . . but they say there is not one Christ (God), but one above and the other below. And this last formerly dwelt in many; but the Jesus, they at one time say is from God, at another they call him a Spirit." The key to this is given in the esoteric philosophy. The "spirit" with the Gnostics was a female potency esoterically, it was the ray proceeding front the Higher Manas, the Ego, and that which the Esotericists refer to as the Kama-Manas or the lower personal Ego, which is radiated in every human entity by the Higher Ego or Christos, the god within us. Therefore, they were right in saying: "there is but one Christ, but one above and the other below". Every student of Occultism will understand this, and also that Gabriel -- or "the mighty one of God" -- is one with the Higher Ego (See Isis Unveiled.)

TG Gaffarillus. An Alchemist and philosopher who lived in the middle of the seventeenth century. He is the first philosopher known to maintain that every natural object (e.g., plants, living creatures, etc.), when burned, retained its form in its ashes and that it could be raised again from them. This claim was justified by the eminent chemist Du Chesne, and after him Kircher, Digby and Vallemont have assured themselves of the fact, by demonstrating that the astral forms of burned plants could be raised from their ashes. A receipt for raising such astral phantoms of flowers is given in a work of Oetinger, Thoughts on the Birth and Generation of Things.

GH Gandharvas The musicians and singers of the gods, represented as dwelling in the sky and preparing the heavenly soma-juice for the gods, as they are especially skilled in medicine. In the Vedas they are described as revealing the secrets of heaven and divine truths to men. The Atharva-Veda mentions that there are 6,333 Gandharvas. "Cosmically -- the Gandharvas are the aggregate powers of the solar-fire, and constitute its Forces; psychically -- the intelligence residing in the Sushumna, Solar ray, the highest of the seven rays; mystically -- the occult force in the Soma (the moon, or lunar plant) and the drink made of it; physically -- the phenomenal, and spiritually -- the noumenal causes of Sound and the 'Voice of Nature.' Hence, they are called the 6,333 'heavenly Singers' and musicians of Indra's loka who personify (even in number) the various and manifold sounds in Nature, both above and below."

At this time Arjuna also assisted Agni in the burning of the Khandava forest-an episode in the Mahabharata. The bow was originally given by Soma to the god Varuna, who in turn passed it on to Agni. It is likewise said to have belonged to Prajapati Brahma, and Siva. (Bhagavad-Gita, W. Q. Judge, p. 6)

WG Ganesa, the god of wisdom, who is said to cause obstacles and remove them. He is the son of Siva and Parvati, and is represented as a short fat man with an elephant's head, having but one tusk; usually he is riding a rat, or is attended by one. He is said to have written down the Mahabharata, as dictated by Vyasa. He is the allegorical representation of magical learning. (gana, body of attendants, Siva's troop; isa, commander: leader of the attendants of Siva.)
TG Ganga (Sk.). The Ganges, the principal sacred river in India. There are two versions of its myth: one relates that Ganga (the goddess) having transformed herself into a river, Rolls from the big toe of Vishnu: the other, that the Ganga drops from the ear of Siva into the Anavatapta lake, thence passes out, through the mouth of the silver cow (gomukhi), crosses all Eastern India and falls into the Southern Ocean. "An heretical superstition", remarks Mr. Eitel in his Sanskrit, Chinese Dictionary "ascribes to the waters of the Ganges "sin-cleansing power". No more a "superstition" one would say, than the belief that the·waters of Baptism and the Jordan have "sin-cleansing power".
GH Ganges (Ganga) The sacred river of India, represented in the Puranas as taking its rise in the heavens from the toe of Vishnu, and brought down to earth through the prayers of the sage Bhagiratha, in order to purify the ashes of the sixty thousand sons of king Sagara. (These sons had been destroyed by the angry glance of the sage Kapila.) Ganga intended to flood the earth (because of being obliged to descend from her heavenly abode), but the force of the fall was intercepted by the god Siva, who caught the river in his matted locks, and allowed it to descend from his brow in seven gentle streams upon the earth. Ganga is personified as a goddess, the daughter of Mena and Himavat (the personification of the Himalaya mountains). The goddess became the wife of king Santanu and gave birth to Bhishma.

TG Garuda (Sk.). A gigantic bird in the Ramayana, the steed of Vishnu. Esoterically -- the symbol of the great Cycle.
WG Garuda, a mythical bird pictured as attendant upon Vishnu, as the eagle is the bird of Jove. It is a symbol of the great cycle of cosmic activity.
GH Garuda The bearer of Vishnu (hence often called Vishnu-ratha): represented as having the body and limbs of a man but the head, wings, talons, and beak of an eagle; the face being white, the wings red, and the body golden. Garuda is regarded as the king of the birds and the great enemy of serpents: his parents were the Vedic sage Kasyapa and Vinata -- one of the daughters of Daksha (one of the Prajapatis). The myths also relate that Garuda once took the Amrita (q.v.) from the gods in order to purchase the freedom of his mother from Kadru. Indra pursued Garuda and recovered the Amrita -- although the god of the sky was worsted in the battle for it. Garuda is "the symbol esoterically of the great cycle," (Secret Doctrine, II, p. 323), while his son, Jatayu "is, of course, the cycle of 60,000 years within the great cycle of GARUDA; hence he is represented as his son, or nephew," (Secret Doctrine, II, p. 570).

GAYATRI
As rendered by G. de Purucker:
Oh thou golden sun of most excellent splendor,
illumine our hearts and fill our minds, so that we,
recognizing our oneness with the Divinity which is the heart of the universe,
may see the pathway before our feet,
and tread it to those distant goals of perfection,
stimulated by thine own radiant light.
TG Gayatri (Sk.). also Savriti. A most sacred verse, addressed to the Sun, in the Rig-Veda, which the Brahmans have to repeat mentally every morn and eve during their devotions.
FY Gayatri, the holiest verse of the Vedas.
OG Gayatri or Savitri -- (Sanskrit) A verse of the Rig-Veda (iii.62.10) which from immemorial time in India has been surrounded with the attributes of quasi-divinity. The Sanskrit words of this verse are: Tat savitur varenyam bhargo devasya dhimahi, dhiyo yo nah prachodayat. Every orthodox Brahmana is supposed to repeat this archaic hymn, at least mentally, at both his morning and evening religious exercises or devotions. A translation in explanatory paraphrase, giving the essential esoteric meaning of the Gayatri or Savitri, is the following: "Oh thou golden sun of most excellent splendor, illumine our hearts and fill our minds, so that we, recognizing our oneness with the Divinity which is the heart of the universe, may see the pathway before our feet, and tread it to those distant goals of perfection, stimulated by thine own radiant light."
GH Gayatri An ancient meter of 24 syllables (variously arranged, but generally as a triplet of 8 syllables each). The word is also applied specifically to a verse in the Rig-Veda, iii, p. 62, 10:
tat savitur varen am bhargo devasya dhimahi
dhiyo yo nah prachodayat.
Literal translation: "Let us meditate on that excellent splendor of the divine Sun; may it illumine our hearts (minds)." (Bhagavad-Gita, W. Q. Judge, p. 76)
SKf Gayatri, Savitri The Gayatri is a verse or metrical hymn of the Rig-Veda (iii, 62, 10) which has been held very sacred from time immemorial, for it contains the essence of religion, of divine living. The word Gayatri is derived from the verb-root gai -- to sing or to praise in song. This Gayatri, which is a verse invoking the Divine Sun at the depths of our being, has also been called the Savitri, because Savitri is the name given to the Divine Solar Entity, or that divine influence and inspiring and vivifying power behind Surya, the visible sun. Savitri is derived from the verb-root su -- to vivify, to urge.
The Sanskrit words and literal translation of this verse are:
1 2 3 -- 6 1
Tat savitur varenyam -- Let us meditate on that most
4 5 6 -- 3 4 5 2
bhargo devasya dhimahi -- excellent light of the divine Sun,
8 7 9 10 -- 7 10 9 8
dhiyo yo nah prachodayat. -- that it may illumine our minds.
A translation by G. de Purucker in explanatory paraphrase giving the essential esoteric meaning of the above is the following:
"O thou golden sun of most excellent splendor,
Illumine our hearts and fill our minds, so that we,
Recognising our oneness with the Divinity, which is the heart of the Universe,
May see the Pathway before our feet, and tread it to those distant goals of perfection,
Stimulated by thine own radiant light."
SP Gayatri or Savitri -- a verse (Rgveda III.62.10) recited daily by orthodox Brahmanas at morning and evening:
tat savitur varenyam bhargo devasya dhimahi
dhiyo yo nah pracodayat
-- approximately translated: "Let us meditate on that most excellent light of the divine Sun, that it may illumine our minds."

TG Genesis. The whole of the Book of Genesis down to the death of Joseph, is found to be a hardly altered version of the Cosmogony, of the Chaldeans, as is now repeatedly proven from the Assyrian tiles. The first three chapters are transcribed from the allegorical narratives of the beginnings common to all nations. Chapters four and five are a new allegorical adaptation of the same narration in the secret Book of Numbers: chapter six is an astronomical narrative of the Solar year and the seven cosmocratores from the Egyptian original of the Pymander and the symbolical visions of a series of Enoichioi (Seers) -- from whom came also the Book of Enoch. The beginning of Exodus, and the story of Moses is that of the Babylonian Sargon, who having flourished (as even that unwilling authority Dr. Sayce tells us) 3750 B.C. preceded the Jewish lawgiver by almost 2300 years. (See Secret Doctrine, vol. II., pp. 691 et seq.) Nevertheless, Genesis is an undeniably esoteric work. It has not borrowed, nor has it disfigured the universal symbols and teachings on the lines of which it was written, but simply adapted the eternal truths to its own national spirit and clothed them in cunning allegories comprehensible only to its Kabbalists and Initiates. The Gnostics have done the same, each sect in its own way, as thousands of years before, India, Egypt, Chaldea and Greece, had also stressed the same incommunicable truths each in its own national garb. The key and solution to all such narratives can be found only in the esoteric teachings.

OG Globe -- Every one of the physical globes that we see scattered over the fields of space is accompanied by six -- really eleven -- invisible and superior globes, forming what in theosophy is called a chain. This is the case with every sun or star, with every planet, and with every moon of every planet. It is likewise the case with the nebulae and the comets: all are septiform entities in manifestation; all have a sevenfold -- indeed twelvefold -- constitution, even as man has, who is a copy in the little of what the universe is in the great. The seven manifested globes for purposes of convenience are enumerated as A, B, C, D, E, F, and G; but reference is sometimes made more mystically to the globes from "A to Z," here hinting at but not specifying all the twelve globes of the chain.
The life-waves circle around these globes in seven great cycles which are called rounds. Each life-wave first enters globe A, runs through its life cycle there, and then passes on to globe B. Finishing its cycle on globe B, it passes on to globe C, and then to globe D, the lowest of the manifested seven. In our own planetary chain, globe D is our earth. Three globes precede it on the downward arc, and three globes follow it on the ascending arc of evolution -- referring here to the manifested seven.
The passing through or traversing of any one of these seven globes by the life-wave is a globe round; and during any one globe round on a globe, seven root-races are born, attain their efflorescence, and then pass away. (See also Round)
