  • Murugan Teaches Shiva Pranava Veda Swamymalai

    It is traditional to recognize Four Vedas , the Scripture of the Hindus.

    There are references in the Vedas and Tamil literature that that there is a Fifth Veda.

    The Vedas are the uswaasa and Viswaasa of Brahma , the Creator.

    Murugan Teaching Shiva Samymalai
    Murugan Teaching Shiva

    That is from the Inhalation and Exhalation of the  Breath of Brahma.

    Vedas came from the Five Heads of Brahma.

    Brahma , Puranas assert, had Five Heads and one was removed by Lord Shiva because of Brahma’s arrogance , His effort to Create , and assume that He is the Supreme Lord.

    This happened after Brahma’s evolution from the Naabhi, Belly Button of Lord Vishnu.

    On His emergence Brahma was commanded by Vishnu to meditate and begin Creation.

    When Brahma started meditating on Brahman , the Reality, His breath came out as The Vedas.

    As He had five heads then, Five Vedas came into Being.

    After the censure by Shiva the Fifth Veda was lost as Brahma’s head was removed by Shiva.

    This Veda is the Pranava Veda.

    ‘

    The Chandogya Upanishad.

     

    It states that there is another Veda, the Fifth veda.

     

    ‘itihāsapurāṇaṃ pañcamaṃ vedānāṃ’

    -Chandogya Upanishad (7.1.2)

     

    It is one thing for an Ithihasa or agreat literary work to be called a Veda, as a  tribute; but a Upanishad, a part of Veda, declaring that there is another Veda, is intriguing.

    ‘the Mahabharata declares itself a new Veda for a new era, intended for all people, and which is the equal of, and in some ways superior to, the four canonical Vedas.The other major Hindu epic, the Ramayana, also makes a claim to be the fifth Veda’

    The Bhagavata Purana elaborates on the Chandogya Upanishad’s statement concerning the fifth, by stating that after the four Vedas emerged from each of Brahma’s four mouths, the fifth Veda – itihasapurana – emerged from his fifth mouth[1] or all his mouths.[6] It then declares itself supreme over all other puranas, on the grounds that it was Vyasa’s crowning achievement.[5] Similarly, the Skandapurana, too, suggests that the puranas are the Fifth Veda, thus giving itself scriptural authority

     

    There is another view that this fifth Veda is called the Pranava Veda and it was from the Pranava ‘OM’

     

    ‘

    Eighty-four year old V. Ganapati Sthapati, is a renowned architect and sculptor.
    Ganapati Sthapati’s range of accomplishments is extraordinary. He has designed and built more than 600 temples in India and the U.S., the U.K., Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Fiji, Sri Lanka and Kenya. He was the architect of Swaminatha Swami Murugan temple, popularly called Malai Mandir, situated on a hillock at Ramakrishnapuram, New Delhi.’He asserts that the controversy over which language is older – Sanskrit or Tamil – is needless. He calls Sanskrit “the classical language of sculptors.” He will build a Veda Mandapam in the University to teach not only the Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharva Vedas but also the Pranava Veda in Tamil. He estimates that the Pranava Veda is older than the other four Vedas. Ganapati Sthapati has already recorded on audio-tape the 50,000 stanzas of the Prananva Veda. He is keen that the Tamil Nadu Government should publish it and spread it.’

    “The Pranava Veda is the first Veda and the “source Veda.” Dr. V. Ganapati Sthapati explains, “A good deal of evidences is available both in Tamil as well as in Sanskrit works, particularly in Srimat Bhagavatam and Skandam about the remote existence of Pranava Veda. This Veda was later on called the science of Vastu (energy) and Vaastu (embodied energy), which is gaining much popularity today across the globe.”

    Dr. V. Ganapati Sthapati goes on to say that Veda Vyasa himself said in the Bhagavatam:

    “eka eva pura vedo pranavha sarva vangmayha”
    (9th skandha, 14th chapter, sloka 48 of Bhagavatam)

    This phrase by Veda Vyasa, the compiler of the present day Vedas, means that there was only one Veda in the remote past and that Veda is called Pranava Veda – the Veda of the shilpis of India. Artharva Sheershopanishad makes mention of the term “Pranava” as being “ongara” – the all-pervasive substance.

    The Fifth Veda Pranava Veda Ramni’s blog

    Now there are references in the Purnas, especially the Skanda purana about Lord Subrahmanya teaching Lord Shiva, His Father the meaning of Vedas.

    And the place where He is reported to have done the Upadesa is Swamymalai, near Kumbakonam,Tamil Nadu.

    Swamynathan, Lord Subrahmanya
    Swamynathan, Lord Subrahmanya at Swamy malai

    This is one of the famous six temples dedicated to Lord Subrahmanya.,Arupadai Veedu in Tamil which means one of the six places which leads to Moksha, Self Realization, padai means regualating in ancient Tamil, refer Thirumurugatrupadai by Nakkeeran of Sangam Period.

    Because Kaarthikeya, called Murugan in Tamil,taught the precept of the Veda to Shiva, Guru of Gurus, a realized souls Brahmin, Murugan, meaning most beautiful, came to be known as Subrahmanya, The best among Brahmins, those who realized brahman, the Reality.

    He is also called Swamynathan, the Leader of leaders,

    Traditional accounts brush aside this stating that Subrahmanya explained the meaning of Pranava the letters A, U and M.

    To me this seems too simple an explanation for the Four Vedas contain detailed of Pranava in the Upanishads.

    Then what did Subrahmanya impart to Shiva , His Father ?

    It should have been the the Fifth Veda, the Pranava Veda, which was  lost when Brahma’s head as removed y Shiva.

    Pranava Veda went out of circulation  and Subrahmanya must have remind Shiva of this at Swamymalai..

    Please read my articles on Shiva a Man, Pre Sanatana Worship of Shiva.

    Will be writing more on this.

  • How Sri Yantra Was Created

    Sound , language and Self Realization are intricately connected in Hinduism.

    While the Reality is a principle beyond qualities, names and forms God concept has been advocated to ensure that the Mind has an object to concentrate upon in the path to Realization.

     

    Sri Chakram.jpg
    Sri Chakram.

    Please read my post God has names and forms Yes and No.

    Sound/Vibrations are basis of creation.

    Universe is born of Motion.

    One may never determine which precedes the other, sound or vibration, one may never know.

    The Sri Chakra of Devi.The Devi's Sri Chakra.iamge.jpg
    Sri Chakra

    Consciousness which is beyond Space and Time is linked to sound in effort to realize itself, that is Self.

    While Consciousness  can communicate and commune with Reality at the highest level, at the rudimentary level it communicates through sound and vibrations.

    Realizing this Hinduism has arrived at three levels from here the sound originates in the Human Body.

    From the Mouth, as in A,

    From the Throat, as in U, and

    From the pit of the stomach, as in M.

    Correct sound of these letters may be found when one pronounces the Sanskrit script.

    These primordial sounds of A, U and M are combined and the resultant Sound Om or AUM is the vital basic Mantra of Hinduism.

    No Mantra is complete with out these three sounds.

    In some Mantras these sounds though invisible are embedded in Mantras and stotras by Great Acharyas.

    Soundaryalahari By Adi Shankaracharya contains the 51 Bheejaksharas, the Seed sounds of Devi , they are embedded in the text though it is invisible.

    Each God is assigned specific numbers of letters, called Aksharas,

    Interesting to note that Akshara, loosely translated as Letters means Limitless, therby signifying the power of sound produced by each letter.

    Shiva is assigned five,

    Vishnu Twelve,

    Subrahmanya Six  and

    Devi 15/51.

    These letters when intoned correctly form the Geometrical shape of Yantra.

    OM produces Sri Yantra.

    Please read my article on this.

    How the Devi’s Yantra is produced?

    Ho did it evolve?

    Lalita Devi in Sri Pura.jpg
    Lalita Devi in Sri Pura.

    ‘Formation of the Shri Yantra

    The creation of the Shri Yantra is described in the Yogini Hridaya (Heart of the Yogini Tantra), which still does not exist in an English translation, as far as we are aware. This is said to be the second part of the Vamakeshvara Tantra.

    “From the fivefold Shakti comes creation and from the fourfold Fire dissolution. The sexual union of five Shaktis and four Fires causes the chakra to evolve. O Sinless One! I speak to you of the origin of the chakra.

    “When she, the ultimate Shakti, of her own will (svecchaya) assumed the form of the universe, then the creation of the chakra revealed itself as a pulsating essence. From the void-like vowels with the visarga (:) emerged the bindu, quivering and fully conscious. From this pulsating stream of supreme light emanated the ocean of the cosmos, the very self of the three mothers.

    “The baindava of the chakra has a triple form, dharma, adharma and atma, and matri, meya and prama. The chakra of nine yonis is the great mass of consciousness bliss and is the ninefold chakra and the nine divisions of the mantra.

    “The baindava is placed on a dense flowery mass and is the Chitkala. Similarly, the ambika form of eight lines is the circle of the vowels. The nine triangles quiver forth the effulgent form of 10 lines. The Shakti, together with her surrounding nine blossomed forth the 10 trikonas. The second quivering form of 10 lines has Krodhisha as first of the 10. These four chakras, of the nature of light, create the 14-fold form, the essence of perception.” — Yogini Hridaya, I 6-16.

    At the very heart of the bindu or centre of the Shri Yantra is that which caused it to emanate. This is Kamakala, consisting of the three bindus or potentials. One is red, one is white, and one is mixed. The red bindu is ova, the white bindu semen, and the mixed bindu the union of Shiva-Shakti, the individual as potential Shri Cakra.

    Father and Mother are represented in Shri Vidya by two limbs or aspects of Lalita known as Varahi and Kurukulla. The semen of Varahi, the father-form, gives four alchemical dhatus to the child. The ova of Kurukulla, the mother-form, gives five dhatns to the child. Consciousness enters via orgasm. The three bindus, collectively known as Kamakala (digit of sexual desire), are the root potential of sun, moon and fire. It is like sun and moon coming together in an eclipse, or the seed from which the plant human being grows.

    Varahi’s four alchemical dhatus are known as the four fires. Kurukulla’s alchemical dhatus are known as the five saktis. The combination of these five saktis (downward pointing triangles) and four fires (upward pointing triangles), forms the complex figure in the centre of Shri Cakra.

    Varahi’s four fires are the 12 (3 x 4) sun Kalas, 12 sidereal constellations. Kurukulla’s five triangles are the 15 (5 x 3) Kalas of the moon, 15 lunar days. The complete individual grows within nine months to be born as a Shri Yantra or plant. The flowering of this plant is shown by the 24 petals of the yantra. The above all gives rise to the familiar shape of the Shri Yantra. The yantra is usually arranged in one of two forms. In the Bhuprastara, it is two dimensional and laid flat, usually facing the east, but sometimes the north, depending on the practice. The Meruprastara has the yantra in a pyramidal form. Unless the yantra be decorated with the appropriate bija and other mantras, it is worthless. It is also dead unless it is installed with life and the individual doing the puja is initiated into one of the lines (parampara).

  • OM In Sumerian Prayer 2600 BC Predates Veda

    OM, the Sacred Mantra of Hinduism is powerful and is capable of altering Genes, and when chanted properly and thrown in a Tonoscope shows the Image of Sri Yantra,  a special Geometric Pattern used by Hindus in worship

    While A raises from the mouth,U from the throat, M raises from the stomach, the only three places from where the sounds can originate.

    OM is used as a prefix of All Mantras.

    It brings in Prosperity and helps concentrate the Mind and is used as a tool in Yoga.

    Earliest reference to OM is found in the Rig Veda.

    Now Rig Veda is dated around 1900 BC, though I am o the opinion that it should be around 5000 BC at the latest.

    Lest the Heading of the Post may mislead, I am furnishing a comment and my reply.

    Ramanan Sir The Sumerian prayer predates Vedas is not correct. Because Vedas are the oldest knowledge in the world. Sumerians were an Indian Colony in the Middle East. They were from Sumeru region of the Himalayas. the prayer period of 2600 b.c. is much after Mahabharat War which shattered Worldwide Common Vedic Empire Of India. So how anything can predate Vedas? Please give your comments Regards Shrirang Sudrik

      Dear Shrirang, What I meant to convey was that the Sumerian Prayer’s reference to OM pushes the Date of the Vedas from 1900 BC by at least by 1000 Years, the Sumerian Prayer being dated at 2600BC. The article is meant to convey only this point.The post’s heading can be interpreted as you have observed,
      As to Sumeria being part of the Sanatana Dharma, I have written quite a few article.I should improve.Why no calls for quite some time?Regds

    (Date of Rig Veda has always been controversial as it is the oldest surviving literary work. Generally it is put at 1900 BC. Let us see how it came to that date and how experts differ on that date.)- Controversies in History

    Max Muller
    Max Muller assigned the period 1500 BCE to 500 BCE for Rigveda Samhita. One of the reasons given is that beginnings of human kind cannot be earlier to 4000 B.C.E. Muller took particular care to ensure that the hypothetical Aryan invasion took place after the Biblical flood and he arbitrarily assigned a date of 1200 B.C to the Rig Veda, which is considered as the oldest among the four Vedas. Since the evidence was flimsy, he recanted his earlier assignment near the end of his life.

    But the Religious practices of the Sumerians  refer to OM.

    I have written on the early connections between the Sumerians and The Tamils of India and the probability of the ancestors of Sumerians and MU people being Tamils.

    And Lord Rama , His Brother Bharata and King Dasaratha feature in Sumerian Kingslist!

    “Those who recite the sound Om, (activates deathless Light in the body) and becomes radiant (amar su-ti-a)”

    ~ Temple Hymn 31 (Source)

     

    ..

    The mantra Om or “AUM” is typically associated with the Hindu tradition and is considered the primordial sound, one of the most ancient and sacred mantras. (You can read more about its sacred meaninghere.)

    With this in mind, we were surprised and excited to come across a possible reference to this mantra in a Sumerian text from c. 2300 BCE – potentially over a thousand years older than the earliest references to it in Vedic literature. If true, the implications of this discovery are enormous.

    Dr. K. Loganathan, a researcher in SumeroTamil studies believes that there is a strong link between the ancient Tamil language and ancient Sumerian and that Sumerian is, in fact, Archaic Tamil. Based on this hypothesis, he has developed a method for translating Sumerian tablets by matching a phonological reading of the cuneiform script with the ancient Tamil language, which he believes leads to a more accurate translation than the currently used widespread approach.

    For example, Dr. Loganathan cites the following line from Temple Hymn 31 with the conventionally-accepted translation:

    5(400)

    [umbin]-se-ba amar su-ti-a ( Who snatches the calf with (his) [cla]ws )

    However, by matching these words with ancient Tamil, a very different (and intriguing) meaning emerges:

    Ta. Ombi-in isaiba amar sootiya ( Who recites this mantra sound Om (Ombi-in-isai), lights up (sutiya) deathlessness (amar) ) 

    Or :

    Those who recite the sound Om, (activates deathless Light in the body) and becomes radiant (amar su-ti-a)

    Dr Loganathan also indicates additional lines that refer to people specifically uttering the sound (i.e., chanting a mantra).

    Again in the lines below, the first example is the conventional translation while the second is interpreted from Ancient Tamil.

    6(401)

    Traditional translation: [tu-tu-ba-lu] su-ti-a ( Who catches [a man in his net]

    SumeroTamil translation: Ta. tuuttuba uLu -sootiya ( Illuminates those people who utter it *tuuttu-bi-a)

    7(402)

    Traditional translation: [kala-ga gu-ab-ba] su-ti-a (  [The strong one] who snatches [the bull]

    SumeroTamil translation: Ta. kalai-ka  kuuvappa sootiya ( The art of uttering  that gains inner light)

    If Dr. Loganathan’s research is correct, there are many profound implications for those interested in ancient Sumeria, ancient India, and spirituality in general.

    The earliest Hindu reference to the mantra OM is in the Rigveda, c. 1500-1200 BCE. The Sumerian text containing the lines above (Temple Hymn 31) date from 2300 BCE, meaning this reference to OM could predate the Hindu reference by almost 1,000 years! If true, this mantra has much older roots and origins than the Vedas and seems to have been recognized as spiritually significant in cultures beyond the Hindu and Buddhist (as is commonly perceived today).
    OM reference in the Rig Veda.When reading through the translated Sumerian cuneiform tablets, other similarities between the Hindu and Sumerian cultures are at times quite evident, such as for instance a description of the goddess Inana that sounds remarkably similar to the Hindu Kali, a divine female goddess representing the sacred role of the Destroyer.

    ”

    The Gayatri mantra from the Rig Veda, for example, begins with Om. The mantra is extracted from the 10th verse of Hymn 62 in Book III of the Rig Veda.These recitations continue to be in use, and major incantations and ceremonial functions begin and end with Om.

  • OM Alters Genes Immunity Massachusetts General Hospital

    I have published articles on these subjects.

    Chanting God's Name and Mantra.gif Chanting God’s Name and Mantra- a Comparison.

    Researchers in the Massachusetts General Hospital have found,

    ‘

    that the relaxation response – a state of deep rest attained through breathing, meditation, yoga and other practices — triggers changes in gene expression that can affect the body’s immune function, energy metabolism and insulin secretion. The new research — the first to look at rapid, gene-level changes following the relaxation practice — is published in the journal PLOS ONE.

    Herbert Benson, a senior author of the new study, first described the “relaxation response” — what he calls the physiologic opposite of fight-or-flight — nearly 40 years ago. He’s now the director emeritus of the Benson-Henry institute for Mind-Body Medicine at MGH, where the technique is used to help patients manage a wide variety of medical conditions from anxiety and chronic pain to cancer.

    Benson says the new research should give a credibility boost to his endeavors (which, by the way, non-Westerners have been practicing in various forms for thousands of years). “There’s now a scientific basis for these mind-body approaches that work,” Benson said. “For the mainstream, every little bit of evidence helps.”

    Benson’s collaborator, Towia Libermann, PhD, director of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) Genomics, Proteomics, Bioinformatics and Systems Biology Center and co-senior author of the study, says the evidence clearly links the relaxation response to rapid changes in gene expression. “There is a relatively small subset of biological pathways affected by relaxation response,” he said. For instance, a pathway involved in immune disturbances and inflammation was repressed after the relaxation technique while another set of pathways involved in mitochondrial function and energy production were enhanced.

    The study involved 52 people — 26 were long-time practitioners of the relaxation response, 26 had never done it, but were trained in the technique. The subjects had blood drawn before, immediately after they practiced, and 15 minutes later, and then researchers used advanced gene expression profiling and systems biology analysis to determine any changes in gene expression. These changes, Libermann said, occurred in both groups but were more pronounced among the long-time relaxers.

    Libermann, who has been working with Benson for 10 years, says he was drawn to this research “to convince myself that there’s really something going on here, and it’s not just a placebo effect.” Now, he says: “I’m pretty convinced.” He and Benson are currently investigating whether the relaxation response triggers molecular-level changes in people with hypertension, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and other diseases.

    Here’s more from MGH:

    In 2008, Benson and Libermann led a study finding that long-term practice of the relaxation response changed the expression of genes involved with the body’s response to stress. The current study examined changes produced during a single session of relaxation response practice, as well as those taking place over longer periods of time.

    The study enrolled a group of 26 healthy adults with no experience in relaxation response practice, who then completed an 8-week relaxation response training course. Prior to starting their training, the participants went through what was essentially a control group session – blood samples were taken before and immediately after they listened to a 20-minute health education CD and again 15 minutes later. After completing the training course, a similar set of blood tests was taken before and after participants listened to a 20-minute CD used to elicit the relaxation response as part of daily practice.

    The sets of blood tests taken before the training program were designated “novice,” and those taken after training completion were categorized as from “short-term practitioners.” For further comparison a similar set of blood samples was taken from a group of 25 individuals with 4 to 25 years experience regularly eliciting the relaxation response through many different techniques before and after they listened to the same relaxation response CD. Blood samples from all participants were analyzed to determine the expression of more than 22,000 genes at the different time points.

    The results revealed significant changes in the expression of several important groups of genes between the novice samples and those from both the short- and long-term sets, with even more pronounced changes in the long-term practitioners. A systems biology analysis of known interactions among the proteins produced by the affected genes revealed that pathways involved with energy metabolism, particularly the function of mitochondria, were upregulated during the relaxation response. Pathways controlled by activation of a protein called NF-κB – known to have a prominent role in inflammation, stress, trauma and cancer – were suppressed after relaxation response elicitation. The expression of genes involved in insulin pathways was also significantly altered.’

  • Explanation Of OM Letter In Sanskrit

    OM,AUM is a Mantra, a Mystically locked sound.

    It does not belong to one religion, but to Humanity.

    The OM MantraImage.jpeg
    OM Mantra..

    It is a soundless sound that creates vibrations , both at the sub atomic level and at the macro Level.

    It alters the micro and macrocosm.

    I have written articles on the import of OM, its scientific validation and how it is the breath of the Earth.

    One curious fact about OM, is that the Sanskrit script in which it is written represents some basic principles of Nature.

    • The large lower left curve represents Vaishvanara: The waking state/conscious mind/gross world.
    • The upper left curve represents Prajana: The dreamless state/unconscious mind/casual state
    • The large curve on the right represents Taijasa: The dreaming state/active unconscious/subtle world.
    • The semicircle represents Maya: The illusion that prevents us from seeing we are all one/paradoxical waking state/duality.
    • The dot represents Turiya: The infinite/pure consciousness/oneness.
