SIVA-JNANAMRITA UPANISHAD

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



Om! O gods! may we, with our ears, hear what is auspicious! O ye, fit to be worshipped!

May we, with our eyes, see what is auspicious! May we enjoy the life allotted to us by the gods,

offering our praise with our bodies strong of limbs!

Om Peace Peace Peace!ed!

Mantram : 1.

yadetatràmaråpàtmakaü jagat tadàbhàsamàtram |

na tad brahmaõaþ purastàt pratitiùñhati |

rajjusarpanyàyena brahmaõi jagato.adhyàsaþdehàdhayàyasa÷ca || 1 ||


1. This world of names and forms is a mere appearance. It has no independent existence apart from Brahman. Just as a snake is superimposed on the rope, this world and body are superimposed on Brahman

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mantram : 2.


yathà rajjuj¤ànàt sarpabhrantirnivartate saha tanmålena bhayena tathà

brahmaj¤ànànnivartate.avidyà sahaiva janimaraõabhayena || 2 ||


2. Just as knowledge of a rope removes the illusion of a snake in the rope and the consequent fear, so also the knowledge of the Self (Brahman) removes Avidya or ignorance and the fear of birth and death.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mantram : 3.


tad brahma tat saccidànandasvaråpaü svayaüjyotirnityaü anàdyantaü

nirvikàraü amçtaü abhayaü niraüjanam || 3 ||


3. Brahman is Sat-Chit-Ananda Svarupa. It is self-luminous (Svayam-Jyoti). It is eternal (Nityam), beginningless (Anadi), endless (Ananta), changeless (Nirvikara), deathless (Amritam), fearless (Abhayam) and spotless (Niranjana).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mantram : 4.


nirguõaü niràkàraü nirvi÷eùaü akhaõóaü nirupàdhikaü

ekamevàdvitãyaü svatantraü nityamuktaü paripårõam || 4 |


4. Brahman is attributeless (Nirguna), formless, (Nirakara), without special characteristics (Nirvisesha), without parts (Akhanda), without any limiting adjunct (Nirupadhika), one without a second (Ekam evadvitiyam), independent (Svatantra), ever free (Nitya-mukta) and all-full (Paripurna).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mantram : 5.

5. Sarãratrayavyatiriktaü, pa¤cako÷ebhyaþ pçthak,

avasthàtrayasàkùibhåtaü, triguõàtãtaü, dvandva nirmuktam |

saccidànandàtmakaü, sarvatrasàrabhåtaü,

antaþkaraõasya yoniþ tathaþ pràõendriya÷arãràõàü asya ca jagataþ || 5 ||


5. Brahman is distinct from the three bodies and five sheaths (Koshas). He is the silent witness of the three states. He transcends the three Gunas and the pairs of opposites. He is an embodiment of Sat-Chit-Ananda. He is the essence or Swarupa. He is the source or womb for the ind, Prana, Indriyas, body and this world.

INTRODUCTION : 24 24. ILLUSTRATIONS IN VEDANTA  : 7,8, AND 9. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. Padmapatra-Nyaya This is the analogy of the lotus-leaf and water. Rain water often falls on a lotus-leaf but the water drips down and the leaf does not get stained by or attached to the water on it. In the same manner, this Atman or Brahman is untainted, though there are countless worlds rolling in it, and countless bodies are seen to be put on by it. 8. Vatagandha-Nyaya The wind carries whatever scent is exposed to it and spreads it everywhere. But the air is pure and is not defiled by bad scent or ornamented by a good scent therein. This is similar to the illustration of the lot

======================================================================= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 23/01/2020. 1. Introduction -7. 7.The Mind And Its Works  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mind is Jagat. The mind moves the senses, the Pranas, etc. Mind is the cause of bondage and  liberation. A keen study of the mind and its works is necessary for the study of Vedanta.  The presiding deity of the mind is Moon or Soma. Moon is cool. It is formed of Apas-Tattva (water). Water has a tendency to run downwards. So also the tendency of the mind is always to run downwards towards sensual objects. The external ear, the eye-balls, etc., are only instruments. They are not the real senses of Indriyas. The real centres or senses are in the brain or most correctly in the astral body (Suk

============================================================= Tuesday, 09  Jan 2024.  05:30. Article Philosophy On Reason and Higher Life -3. ================================================================ We do not 'give' merely because another man's need is identical with his lack of ability. This is not the reason behind giving. We give because thereby we evolve, and there is the end of it. In this world there is always someone who has a larger ability and some other who has a lesser one. There is no point in mentioning it in the interpretation of the psychology of giving. In the performance of duty the result is not the motive. The motive is the psychological process that is going on in the act of giving. What you think and feel is important. The end beyond it is not the consideration. Our philosophy of Karma Yoga, which is the philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita, is one of emphasis on the essential value of active duty and not the passive existence of its remote end. It w
