Guest guest Posted March 21, 2000 Report Share Posted March 21, 2000 Dear Chandrasekaran and other srivaishnava perunthagaiyer, In continuation now we will see chandhokyopanishad. Please refer Part 5- 19th part- page 674 and 675 of Sri Uththamoor Veera raaghavaachaaryaswami's book on upanishads -thathriya, chandhokya etc. Thath yadh Bhakthan prathamamaagachchEth thadhDhomeeyam! Sa yaam prathamaam aahuthim juhuyaath praaNaaya svaahEthi! PraaNasthrupyathi! PraaNE thrupyathi chakshus thrupyathi! Chakshushi thrupyathyaath aadhithyas thrupyathi! AadhithyE thrupyathi dhyous thrupyathi! Dhivi thrupyanthyaam yath kincha dhousva aadhithyaschaath adhithishtatha: thath thrupyathi! Thasya anuthrupthim thrupyathi prajaya pasuBhir annaadhyEna thEjasaa brahmavarchasEnEthi! Meaning: One person while eating, makes the first offer of annam, and that first offer of annam becomes the oblatory instrument. That satisfies the praaNa. So the eating has to be done as a homam. When he does that at first praaNa gets satisfied. In the satisfaction of praaNa the eyes gets satisfied. When eyes gets satisfied the Sun gets satisfied. When sun is satisfied the heavens are satisfied. When heaven is satisfied all those in heaven gets satisfied. When all get satisfied like this the people and the cows etc get the tejas (halo?) and the power of brahma. May be in short the offer of food has to be as homam. Atha yaam dhvitheeyaam juhuyaath thaam juhuyaath vyaanaaya svaahEthi! Vyaanas thrupyathi! vyaanE thrupyathi chandhramaathrupyathi! Chandhramasi thrupyathi dhisasthrupyanthi! dhikshu thrupyantheeshu yathkincha dhisas chandhramas chaadhithishtanthi thath thrupyathi! Thasyaanuthrupthim thrupyathi prajaya pasuBhirannaadhyEna thEjasaa brahmavarchasEnEthi! Atha yaam thrutheeyaam juhuyaath thaam juhuyaath apaanaaya svaahEthi! apaaNasthrupyathi! apaanE thrupyathi vaakthrupyathi! vachi thrupyanthyaam agnisthrupyathi! agnou thrupyathi pruthivee thrupyathi! Pruthivyaam thrupyanthyaam yath kincha pruthivee chaagnischaadhithishtatha: thath thrupyathi! Thasyaanuthrupthim thrupyathi prajaya pasuBhirannaadhyEna thEjasaa brahmavarchasEnEthi! Atha yaam chathurtheem juhuyaath thaam juhuyaath samaanaaya svaahEthi! samaanasthrupyathi! samaanE thrupyathi manasthrupyathi! manasi thrupyathi parjanyasthrupyathi! parjanyE thrupyathi vidhyuth thrupyathi! Vidhyuthi thrupyanthyaam yath kincha vidhyuchcha parjanyaadhithishtatha: thath thrupyathi! Thasyaanuthrupthim thrupyathi prajaya pasuBhirannaadhyEna thEjasaa brahmavarchasEnEthi! Atha yaam panchmee juhuyaath thaam juhuyaath udhaanaaya svaahEthi! udhaanasthrupyathi! udhaanE thrupyathi vaayusthrupyathi! vaayou thrupyathi aakaasasthrupyathi! AakaasE thrupyathi yath kincha vaayuschaakaasaschaadhithishtatha: thath thrupyathi! Thasyaanuthrupthim thrupyathi prajaya pasuBhirannaadhyEna thEjasaa brahmavarchasEnEthi! Similarly the meanings for others Vyaana- the hearing power. The moon, the dhik (directions north south east west)- the earth. Samaana- manas- the mind- parjanya- the rain- vidhyuth- the lightning Udhaana- vaayu- air- aakaasam- space. Thus the food offered to the body the whole panchaboothaas get satisfied. So the eating is also a sacrifice and we get tejas and brahmaa's power, by eating in the proper way. Please read the following- annEna praaNa:, praaNir balam, balEna thapas, thapasa: sradhdha, sradhdhayaa mEdha, medhayaa maneesha, maneeshayaa manO, manasaa saanthi: saanthayaa chiththam, chiththEna smruthi, smruthyaa smaaram, smaarENa vignaanam vignaanEth aathmaanam vEdhayathi! Thasmaath annam dhadhan sarvaaNyE thaani dhadhaathi!! NaaraayanOpanishath- Slokam 144 page 195 of same book. Perhaps one can understand the easyness and effectiveness of the anna dhaanam. Of course the parishEchanam question lead to the annadhaanam. Dasan Vasudevan M.G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
