	#~~REDIRECT~~ [[Mūlaprakṛti]]		'''Mulaprakriti''' (devanāgarī: मूलप्रकृति, ''mūlaprakṛti'') is a [[Sanskrit]] term that can be translated as "the root of nature" or "root of [[Prakriti]]"; meaning "fundamental matter". In the [[Samkhya]] school of [[Hinduism]] it is frequently used as a synonym of [[pradhāna]].

			== General description ==

			In [[Theosophy\|Theosophical]] literature it is often defined as the essence of matter, the [[Substance#Pre-cosmic_substance\|Pre-Cosmic Substance]]:

			<blockquote>Precosmic root-substance (Mulaprakriti) is that aspect of the Absolute which underlies all the objective planes of Nature. Just as pre-Cosmic Ideation is the root of all individual consciousness, so pre-Cosmic Substance is the substratum of matter in the various grades of its differentiation.<ref>Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, ''The Secret Doctrine'' vol. I, (Wheaton, IL: Theosophical Publishing House, 1993), 15.</ref></blockquote>

			It is the "Eternal Parent wrapped in her ever invisible robes" of the [[Stanzas of Dzyan#Stanza I\|Stanza I.1]] of Cosmogenesis:

			<blockquote>''[Question]'': What aspect of space . . . is here called the Eternal Parent?<br>
			''Mme. Blavatsky'': Well, it is just this androgynous something; the Svabhavat of the Buddhists. It is non-differentiated, hence--an abstraction. It is the Mulaprakriti of the Vedantins. If you preoceed to make it correspond with the human priniciples it will be Buddhi, Atman corresponding to Parabrahman.<ref>Michael Gomes (transcriber), ''The Secret Doctrine Commentaries'' (The Hague: I.S.I.S. foundation, 2010), 3.</ref></blockquote>

			The "invisible robes" of the Eternal Parent are the non-differentiated substance or spiritual matter,<ref>Michael Gomes (transcriber), ''The Secret Doctrine Commentaries'' (The Hague: I.S.I.S. foundation, 2010), 3.</ref></blockquote> and they are on the highest, or seventh, plane of matter.<ref>Michael Gomes (transcriber), ''The Secret Doctrine Commentaries'' (The Hague: I.S.I.S. foundation, 2010), 6.</ref></blockquote>

			Other synonyms Mme. Blavatsky uses is the Vedic [[Aditi]]<ref>Michael Gomes (transcriber), ''The Secret Doctrine Commentaries'' (The Hague: I.S.I.S. foundation, 2010), 4.</ref> or [[Pradhana]]. She often refers to [[Svābhāvat]] as a synonym, though this is probably in a general sense only, because in other occasions she talks of it as a differentiation of Mulaprakriti.

			As explained by our learned Vedantin Brother—T. Subba Row—Mulaprakriti, the first universal aspect of Parabrahma, its Kosmic Veil, and whose essence, to us, is unthinkable, is to the LOGOS “as material as any object is material to us”
