Roza Mira

Roza Mira

"Roza Mira" (full title in _ru. Роза Мира. Метафилософия истории, literally "The Rose of the World. The Metaphilosophy of History") is the title of the main book by Russian mystic Daniil Andreev. It is also the name of the predicted new universal religion, to emerge and unite all people of the world before the advent of the Antichrist, described by Andreev in his book. This new "interreligion", as he calls it, should unite the existing religions "like a flower unites its petals", Andreev wrote. According to "Roza Mira", there are no contradictions between different religions, because they tell about different aspects of spiritual reality, or about the same things in different words. Daniil Andreyev compares different major religions to different paths leading to one and the same mountain peak (which is God). Andreyev names five world religions, which are Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism and Zoroastrianism. Andreyev believes in the Trinity of God, but the third hypostasis, instead of being the Holy Spirit, is claimed to be the Eternal Femininity.

Daniil Andreyev agrees with main Christian dogma, namely, that Jesus Christ is the Son of God that had come to our world to help it on its way to the Light. However, Andreyev states that the murder of Jesus wasn't planned as a part of Redemption; it was instead inspired by the Devil to hinder God's plans. Though strongly rooted, psychologically and emotionally, in the Russian Orthodox Church, Andreev also believed in reincarnation and karma, so that his personal faith, as expressed in "Roza Mira," is something of an amalgamation of Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism. (On his deathbed, Andreev was shocked to find that the attending Orthodox priest refused him last ritesFact|date=September 2007; the priest knew that the dying man believed in reincarnation, and so did not consider him a Christian.)

In large part, "Roza Mira" is a spiritual cosmography, a description of the domains human souls occupy after death or between incarnations—domains resembling, to greater or lesser degrees, the heavens, hells, purgatories, and netherworlds of various religions and mythological systems. As such, it can be compared to works like the "Bardo Thodol" or "Tibetan Book of the Dead", and the "Divine Comedy" of Dante Alighieri (as well as modern expressions of the same visionary tradition, like "The Urantia Book"). As a 20th-century entrant in this sub-genre, "Roza Mira" extends its purview far beyond the terrestrial Earth, to other planets, solar systems, and galaxies. Andreev peoples these visionary domains with types of beings recognizable from world religions and mythologies—angels, archangels, demons, daemons, titans, nature spirits or "elementals"—and also with creatures unique to Andreev's vision, called "igvas," "raruggs," and "witzraors," among others. The venues include familiar names like Atlantis and Gondwana, plus unique Andreevian coinages, "Olirna" and "Digm," "Mudgabr" and "Fongaranda" and many more. All of this is expressed in a distinctive and remarkable volcabulary—and this vocabulary is one of the most noteworthy aspects of the text. So, the Earth ("Enrof") is the center of a complex structure ("bramfatura") of 242 "variomaterial planes." Similar structures abound in the known universe, so that Andreev's cosmos comes to resemble the "niutas of kotis of Buddha countries" (i.e. tens of millions of millions of alternative realms) described in the sutras of the Buddhist religious canon. This makes "Roza Mira" a highly distinctive and notable entry in the Western esoteric spiritual literature.
