The Prana moves in the body uttering OM, The Sun moves along uttering Om

[Guest guest]

Salutations to Thakur, Guru, and Ma! OM. May the different limbs of my body, my

tongue, prana, eyes, ears, and my strength, and also all the other sense-organs,

be nourished ! All, indeed is Brahman, as is declared in the Upanishads. May I

never deny Brahman ! May Brahman never deny me ! May there never be any denial

on the part of Brahman ! May there never be any denial on my part ! May all the

virtues described in the Upanishads belong to me, who am devoted to Atman ! Yea,

may they all belong to me !Om. Peace ! Peace ! Peace ! CHHANDOGYA

UPANISHAD. Chapters IV and V of Part I. OM. As a fisherman might observe a

fish in water, so death observed the gods in the Rik, the Yajus, and the Saman.

They too came to know this, rose from the Rik, Yahus, and the Saman, and entered

the Svara (Om) alone. When a man has mastered the Rig-Veda he loudly utters

Om;he does the same when he has mastered the Sama-Veda and the Yajur Veda.The

Svara is the syllable Om; it is immortal and fearless.The gods by entering it

became immortal and fearless. He who, knowing this, sings the praise of the

syllable Om enters the same syllable, called the Svara, which is immortal and

fearless. Having entered it, he becomes immortal as the gods are immortal. The

syllable Om, called the Udgitha, should be meditated upon;for people sing the

Udgitha beginning with OM. One should meditate on the Udgitha as the principal

prana, for the prana moves in the body uttering OM.It is the prana alone that

functions as the various sense-organs. The syllable Om is called the Udgitha in

the Sama-Veda and is called the Pranava in the Rig-Veda. Now, verily, that which

is the Udgitha is the Pranava;that which is the Pranava is the Udgitha. Yonder

sun is the Udgitha. It is the Pranava because it moves along uttering Om.

How To Have Many Sons In olden times, Kaushitaki said to his son : 'I sang the

praise of the sun, regarding it as one with its rays, therefore you are my only

son.Meditate on the rays and the sun as different from each other, and you wil

have many sons. He said to his son : 'I sang the praise of the principal prana

alone, therefore you are my only son. Meditate on the Utgitha as the manifold

prana, and you will have many sons. It is the prana alone that functions as the

various sense organs. This is what Kaushitiki meant by the manifold prana--the

prana and its sense-organs. The sun may be regarded as one if disassociated

from its rays, just as the prana is one if separate from its sense-organs.

Meditation on the sun and its rays and the prana and its sense-organs will

result in many sons. Om. Satchitananda Kathy (Swami Nikhilananda's THE

UPANISHADS. Chhandogya.)
