Gita Jyothi Week #38 Part #5

[Guest guest]

Sri Krishna Parabrahmane Namaha: Jai Srimannarayana!

 

[This is the translation of Gita Jyothi Week No.38 Sloka graced by Sri Sri Sri

Tridandi Chinna Jeeyar Swami, in Bhakthi Nivedana)

 

“Our body is a model of the Body of the Supreme. See how many parts are there in

this body! If we recognize them in a proper manner and then do the upa:sana and

give the food accordingly then all of them would be energetic. If we think of

only a single part, then that part only will be healthy. We can’t keep the

remaining parts unhealthy. In the same manner the entire universe is His divine

form.

 

In the universe starting from the U:rthvalo:kas upto the earth we are living on

are all Bhagavan’s different body parts. When we recite Vishnusahasranamam we

read: - ‘bhu:h pa:dau yasya na:bhihi viyath’ we have to perceive such state

here. So while our body is a small miniature form; this universe is the viraat

ru:pam of Bhagavan. Let us realize this and do the upasana here. Then it will

reach Him.”

 

Thus instructed the king Aswapati to the six rishies. This has been expounded as

‘Vaiswanara Brahma Vidya’ by Cha:ndogyo:panishad. Lord Krishna is making this

clear in this sloka.

 

We only consume the food but let us imagine that it is going in all directions

and transforming into energy for all beings. I am offering this to the moola

thatvam Bhagavan. If eaten saying ‘Krishna:rpaNa masthu’ that would reach the

entire ‘ji:varaasi’ as energy. When a tree is watered at the roots the water

reaches the whole tree and similarly when we send the foodstuff in saying

‘BhagavadarpaNam’ then that would reach all the living things through the inner

Vaiswa:nara.

 

Jai Srimannarayana,
