Dakshinnakshi

[Guest guest]

Pranams to all:

 

The second karika of Gaudapadaacharya, for the sixth mantra of the

 

Great Upanishad, Maandukhya Upanishad, reads as " Vishwa works from the

 

Right Eye, Tiajasa from the Mind and Praajna from the heart spce.

 

The word used is " Dakshinaakshi". Some Commentrators say that even

 

according to opthlamologists right eye is used more, in waking

 

consciousness. Another commentrator says the the right eye functions through the

 

optical center located in the left brain. The optical center of the

 

right brain recieved information through the left eye. Why nature has

 

provided two eyes? With only one eye theother dimension of "depth" would be

 

lost. Close one eye and try to join forefingers of both the hands.

 

There will be a failure by centimetres.

 

Now Take "Dakshinaamurthy". The Amurtha-unmanifest takes roopa, as

 

Moorthy, and sits facing South, the Aadhi Guru and teaches for the first

 

time Advaitha Jnana to the four Maanasa Puhtras of Lord Brahma through

 

silemce. the disciples are old but the Guru is very young and sits facing

 

South at the roots of a Banyan Tree. So is the Purana.

 

Analysing the etymology of Dashina, it follows, that it is made of

 

Daksha and Ina. It indicates the root meaning as Daksha-samartha- able and

 

commander.

 

So the intutive meaning of Right Eye is that it is not a Wrong Eye.(

 

Right-Left: Right and Wrong). The most able eye is therefore the third

 

eye, the Aajna Chakra. This should be the possible explanation not what

 

Bhasyas say. I do not how much I am welcome. In the waking conciousness

 

on the who;le, called as Vishwa, bot the eyes do function and the Brain

 

correlates it, and therefore it could only mean Aaajna Chakra.Taijasa

 

being the dream state has to work only in the mind. The last Praajna,

 

deep sleep is where consciousness takes rest in the Heart. But the

 

heart sppoken there is not the 4 walled muscular heart. It speaks of Hrith+

 

Ayam= This space-the Self.

 

I request all the members to kindly comment.
