\nMahayana "Greater Vehicle", one of the

\nthe ancient Buddhist schools (represented in
\nthe modern world by the Theravadins of Sri
\nLanka, Burma, Thailand, Laos and Cambo-
\ndia) as a more liberal and innovative inter-
\npretation of the Buddha’s teachings. The
\nMahayanists deprecatingly termed the more
\northodox schools as Hinayana (Lesser Vehi-
\ncle). They attribute to the Buddha a supra-
\nmundane quality and interpret the historical
\nBuddha as an earthly manifestation of a
\ntranscendent celestial Buddha. The ideal goal

\nManu(s); Manu Vaivaswata In Hindu
\nmythology, Manu is the first Prajapati, the
\nprogenitor of mankind. On earth Manu
\nincarnates fourteen times in each Kalpa and each of these fourteen incarnations
\nis called a Manu. The period for which a Manu rules and holds sway on earth is
\ncalled a Manwantara, which is composed of a varying
\nnumber of Chaturyugas (there are not less
\nthan 4, 320, 000 years in one Chaturyuga).
\nThe first of the Manus was Swayambhuva, to whom the law-book Manusmriti<\/i> (or
\nManu Samhita)<\/i> is ascribed. The Manu of
\nthe present age is the seventh, and is
\nnamed Vaivasvata, son of Vivasvata, the Sun.
\nThe legend of the fish and the deluge is
\nconnected with this Manu. "Manu, the first Prajapati, … is different from the four Manus
\nwho are more than Prajapatis, they being
\nthe four Type-Souls from whom all human
\nPurushas are born; they… in themselves are
\nbeyond this manifest universe." (VI: 184)
\nThe Gita also speaks of four eternal Manus
\nalong with the seven great Rishis. They are
\n"fathers of man, – for the active nature of
\nthe Godhead is fourfold and humanity ex-
\npresses this nature in its fourfold character., .
\nfrom them are all these living creatures in
\nthe world;… these Manus are in themselves
\nperpetual mental becomings of the supreme
\nSoul and born out of his spiritual transcendence into cosmic Nature." (13: 333)

\nMessiah<\/b> in Judaism, a man who would be sent

\nidea of Jesus’ time was that the Messiah should reign in glory as an earthly
\nking. The expectation of the second coming of Jesus is similar to the Jewish
\nbelief in the Messianic advent. (Col. Enc.) D 1:48, 51, 802 3:442 15:609 16: 307 22:405<\/font><\/p>\n

\nMexican War<\/b> The term Mexican War usually
\ndenotes the war between the U.S. and Mexico from April 1846 to September 1847.
\nBut here (in the Record of Yoga) the re- ference is to events that took place
\nmuch later. After the overthrow of the dictator Porfirio Diaz in 1910 Mexico
\ncame under the grip of a civil war. Francisco Madero, who had led the uprising
\nagainst Diaz, was assassinated by Huerta. Huerta established a reactionary
\nregime and revolution broke out in 1913 under the leadership of Carranza, Francisco Villa, and Emiliano Zapata. Huerta was also involved in diplomatic troubles with President Wilson of the U.S. After a
\nlong struggle to retain power and after the landing of U.S. troops at Veracruz, Huerta resigned (1914) and fled. Thereafter Carranza’s Constitutionalist army
\nbegan to splinter. (Enc. Br.; Col. Enc.) [From "Record of Yoga" MSS Nov.
