Guest guest Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Sub: DevakArya SamudyatA L.S.-5 Om devakArya SamudyatAyai namah In human psychology – ‘Idd’, ‘Ego’ and ‘Super ego’ are three categories of human behaviors mentioned. If one secures any eatable substance, if he eagerly eats it then and there, unmindful of cleaning it with water, or unnoticing whether the surroundings are neat and clean, just like an animal, he comes under the first category ‘Idd’. The second one ‘ego’ is for those who packs that article in a paper, take it to a neat place, wash it with water, cut into pieces, sits in a neat place and eats it slowly one after another, enjoying its taste and aroma. The third category ‘super ego’ is for those who takes to his house, clean it, cut into pieces in a clean plate, offers it to his god as naivedyam, distribute a part of it as prasAdam to the nearby persons and then eats the remaining for himself. All this procedure is called “samskAra” in Sanskrit. Even in the sAdhana to enter into the “divya swaroopa” (devine order). This kind of samskArA is the primary need to start any japa, or other deva poojA etc., the word ‘samudyatha’ itself is an indication as samyak udyatha. The word samyak indicates that only after completing all the preliminaries perfectly well, we are entitled to start our journey towards the nivrittiroopa destination. ‘udyatha means raising or lifting up, and ‘samudyatha’ is lifting up of kundalini with a perfect understanding of the “gnAna sakthi”. ‘Vasu’, ‘Rudra’, ‘Aditya’ are the three venerable sects for all the human beings. In all of these the Vasus are the pitru devatas, who are the administrators of our forefathers. Their place is believed to be in the region below the navel. The Rudras are the controlling deities of our human beings and their place is considered to be in the sUryamandala,., in the heart region. Adityas are the real devathas and their place is considered as above the AjnA chakra in the chandramandala region. If we wish to enter into the devine plane (Aditya mandala) we have to fulfill the required preliminary duties by performing the “Pitru kAryam” regularly first of all. By doing this, we will be bestowed with suitable bodies having medha, sraddha, ojas, thejas and the required mental concentration to perform the pooja etc., for the devatas (AdityAs). These are all absolutely essential for the kundalini utthApana (lifting the kundalini upwards). In the same way, we have to fulfill our duties to please the Rudras also by keeping our minds and bodies clean by observing all the samskArAs mentioned in the astAnga yoga of Pathanjali Yoga sutras. Only after fulfilling all these preliminaries, we will be eligible to enter into the Devine plane. The journey towards the DEvakArya will be strictly in accordance with the instructions of the sriguru only. First of all you have to know about the secret of the manthra and about the power of the manthra (manthra veerya), only by hearing from the mouth of the guru. (“Gurumukhaikaveidyam”). You must believe that the face of the deity is absolutely the same as the guru`s face. The manthra`s existence is located with in the frame of your breath cycle (prAna sakthi) only. All the letters of the manthra are arranged in a row one above the other like the beads in a garland and believe that that is the form of the deity you are praying and also that it is the inverted image of your own self, having another name as “pratyagAtma”. All of this process is called as “Chathurvidha aikya anusandhAnam” Now you should know that you are entering into the mental plane leaving the physical plane behind, with full of auspicious imaginations and illusions, just as you are in a day dream i.e., swapnAvastha while you are still wakefully counting on the number of manthra japa. You cannot know when you are going to drift into a deep sleep (sushupthi avastha), but the manthra will take you into that “yoganidra” state at least for a few moments. Now you are experiencing all the the three avasthAs at the same time and you are witnessing all the three of them. This state is called “tureeya avastha” “avasthA traya bhAvAbhAva sAkshi chaithanyam” The experience of thureeya avastha is indicated in this name of our holy mother. “Samudyatha” is just like a fully drawn string of a bow, with an arrow inserted in it, and about to be left for striking the target. “DhanurgrihEtwA aupanishadam mahAstram, Saram hyupAsAniSitham sandadhEtha Ayamya thad bhAvagatheina cheithasA Lakshyam thadeyvAksharam sOmya viddhi ||” “Pranavo dhanuh sarOhyAtma, brahma thallakshyamuchyathey” “om aim hreem sreem sadAchAra pravarthikAyai namo namah sreem” sriparasukhanandanadha krishnarao.lanka (sriparasukhanandanadha) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
