"Intelligent, imperishable, undecaying am I": The final expression by Rshi Trisanku-5.

-

 


1. To every one of us the finite alone is the land of our known experience.

 

2. We all know that the finite world of matter is inert, perishable, decaying, and therefore, using opposite words, such as, Intelligent, Imperishable, and Undecaying, Rishi Trisanku is helping to convey to us the 'otherness' of the Infinite  from what we know and experience in ourselves at present--- in our ego-centric mis-understandings.

 

3. In order to show this Infinite, all that the Rishi can do is, as it were, to stand at the frontiers of the finite and, with a pointing finger, indicate the Infinite in the language of contrast.

 

4. Hence the final explosive expression by which the choking experience in the bosom of the great Rishi seems to burst out in expressing his lived bliss of Perfection.

 

5. Hence the declaration "Intelligent, Imperishable, Undecaying am I,"

 

6. To remember, thus, our Real Nature, as lived and experienced by Rishi Trisanku, is the most efficacious technique in turning ourselves to the highest purity and to the greatest sense of detachment from the false values.

 

7. When an individual recites this mantram with sincerity, faith and conviction, it is evident that the will gain a sufficient amount of inward poise, and tranquillity--- which are surely necessary for gaining study of the scriptures daily.

 

8. Mantram :

Aham ( 'I'),  vrksasya  ( of the tree), rerive ( stimulator ),  

Kirtih  ( fame or glory ), prstham ( peak ), gireriva = gireh ( of the mountain); eva ( like), 

Uradhva-Pavitrah ( high and pure am I ), vajini ( the essence in the sun),  eva ( like ), smrtam ( the excellent, immortal being ), asmi ( am I ),

Dravinagm  ( power and wealth ), savarcasam ( effulgent with intuition ),

Sumeddhah intelligent ), amrtah ( the imperishable ), aksitah ( the undecaying am I),

 

Iti ( thus ), trisankoh ( of the Rishi Trisanku ), vedanu-vacanam ( the sacred recitation).

 

 

Taittiriya Upanishad: Chapter-1 ( Siksa Valli ), Section-x ( sacred recitation of Trisanku after realisation ), Mantram-1.

Opinion 18/11/2015 104.  Sub : Beware  of  Spiritual  Gods ( Human ) :  Ref :  Bharatham is  full  of  pseudo  religious  guru-s,  starting  with  priests  of  Temple, Church  and  Mosque  All Members,  Respected family members of this great holy Nation. Part-4. A. 1. No  living  Master  who  breathes  and  eats,  and  recognizes  a  world  to  function  in,  can  ever  claim  that  he  is  God. 2. Members  and my  brothers  and  sisters,  don't  be  deceived. 3. Having  seen  a  God  you  will  not  live  to  declare  it;  4. a  salt-doll  went  into  the  sea  to  measure  its  depth  and  it  could  not  come  back  to  declare  its  discovery! 5. The  individual  having  had  the  God-experience  will  not  come  to  declare  that  the  Almighty  and  the  All-pervading  Truth  is  the  limited,  mortal,  finite  structure  of  the  reacher. 6. Once  having  seen  the  Ocean  no  one  can  misunderstand  a  lake  or  a  pond,  however  vast  it  may  be,  to  be  the

Chinmaya Mission: Sevika Sarika Pherwani’s Bala vihar performed the Paduka Puja at Dosti Erica, wadala.  We received an enthusiastic response from children who attended it with their Parents/grand parents.   Sevika Dimple Parekh assisted in conducting this and it was well received by the Parents ================================================================ 1.#Opinion : Thursday, 14 Dec 05:30. 3363. // Article Philosophy 1.#On Reason and Higher Life - 1.Swami Krishnananda./// ================================================================ First of all, it has to be remembered that reason is not everything, and it is futile to work up an apotheosis of reason. This itself is contrary to reason, and it is a prejudiced faith of the human mind which makes it imagine that reason is all. You ask, 'On what is faith based?', but I ask, 'On what is reason based?' 'Who told you that reason itself is reasonable?' Don't you think that this itself is a faith that you h

In reality, personality issomething more than this. It includes a man’s character, intelligence, noble qualities,moral conduct, intellectual attainments, certain striking faculties, special traits orcharacteristics, sweet powerful voice, etc. All these things put together constitute thepersonality of Mr. So and so. The sum total of all these things makes up the personalityof a man. Mere physical characteristics cannot make up the personality. What you call an umbrella is really
