Mantram-15.


 "This is a prayer raised to Lord Sun invoking his grace and blessings so that the seeker may have the strength to remove the golden veil that hides the vision of Truth. And this is the prayer of the dying personality on his death-bed-----------the meditation-seat."

 =============================================================== =============================================================== Tuesday, March 08, 2022. 20:00. Mantram-1. ============================================================== "Om Isavasyam idaṁ sarvam yat kiṁ ca jagatyam jagat, tena tyaktena bhunjitha, ma gṛdhah kasyasvid dhanam."  The Upaniṣad begins with the word Isavasyam, and so goes by the name of Isavasyopaniṣad. There are other such examples of this tradition. Kenopaniṣad, for instance, is so named because the very first word of it is kena. Iśāvāsyam: Īśvara is 1st person singular. So, īśāvāsyam means īśvara resides. Sankaracarya says that the root is it (eit) meaning īṭ; and īṭ means God. So īśāvāsyam can also mean through īṭ. Or, the compound word is split thus: Isa+ avasyam –avasyam means, that alone which is fit to bear or cover, that is (it is), Isvara's temple, the fit place for Him. Another mean­ing is that which is fit to be enveloped by Isvara. Ma...

================================================================================= Monday 15, Apr 2024. 05:30. Chapter 1: Introduction to the Upanishads 9. Chapter 2: The Problem in Understanding the Upanishads - 1. Post-9. ===================================================================================== When you search for the Spirit of the world as a whole, the Spirit of your own Self, when you search for your Self, you conclude there is no need in searching for anything else. Here is the condition that you have to fulfil before studying the Upanishads. Do you want only your Self as the true Spirit, commensurate with the Spirit of the universe, or do you want many other things also? Those who want many other things are not fit students of the Upanishadic or even the Bhagavadgita philosophy, because the Upanishads and the Gita take you to the very essence of things, which is the Reality of all things. When you get That, attain That, reach That, identify yourself with That, you will...
