17."FACING DEATH( ANILAM )" ''THE FREED SPIRIT'

-

Mantram-17.



1.Let my Vayu ( Prana) to be freed to the air  and Amritutvam (immortal).


2.Now let this body be burnt  in the fire, reduced to ashes


3.So the death is not a tragic culmination (as normal man thinks), but in fact it is Joyous beginning of an immortal existence.


4.Hence everyone of us should welcome death, that his prana should merge with the the air ( Brahmam ) and his body must go back to (Panchabhudham) dust from which it had come.


5.As regards, then his mind asks : "O my mind! remember what you did in the past" meaning, the Great achievement, the Supreme experience.

 =============================================================== =============================================================== 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

Lessons on the Upanishads : 8. Swami Krishnananda.

  =========================================================================== Thursday 25,  Apr 2024. 05:30. Chapter 1: Introduction to the Upanishads 8. Post-8. ============================================================================= The Upanishads come last. These are the most difficult part of the Vedas. We can have some idea of what the Veda Samhitas are, what the Brahmanas are, what the Aranyakas are, but it requires deep thinking and a chastening of our psyche before we can enter into the subject of the Upanishads. What do the Upanishads tell us? They tell us the mode, the modus operandi of directly contacting the Spirit of the universe through the Spirit that is inside us—not by word of mouth, not by speaking any word, not by performance of any ritual.  There is no need of any temple, church or scripture; we want nothing except our own Self. When we reach the Spirit of the universe, nothing will come with us, as it was mentioned. We will go there alone. We are the most impo
