Guest guest Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 Ley us pray for Rain Hymn to Varuna for Rain In India Om. Sing forth a hymn sublime and solemn, grateful to glorious Varuna, imperial ruler, Who hath struck out, like one who slays the victim, earth as a skin to spread in front of the sun. Varuna lets the big cask, opening downward, flow through the heaven and earth and air's mid-region. Therewith the universe waters the earth as the shower of rain bedews the barley. When Varuna is fain for milk, he moistens the sky, the land, and earth to her foundation. (5:85) Meditation On the Vairupa Saman Chhandogya Upanishad. Om. The gathering of the mists is the syllable Him; the forming of clouds is the Prastava ; the raining is the Udgitha ; the flashing and thundering are the Pratihara ; the ceasing of the rain is the Nidhana This is the Vairupa Saman as interwoven in the clouds. "Do not decry the rain." Om. Salutations to the Supreme Self. Let him, the Knower of Brahman, make food plentiful ! The earth is verily food : the akasa is the eater. The akasa rests on the earth, and the earth rests on the alkasa. Thus food rests on food. He who knows this resting of food on food is established ; he becomes a possessor of food and an eater of food. He becomes great in offspring and cattle and in spiritual radiance, and great in fame.
