Significance Of Food prayer

[Guest guest]

>From http://www.saibaba.ws/prayers/brahmaarpanam.htm

In the early

days (70s if i recall) Swami had asked all the Brindavan campus college

boys to join Him for lunch. At that time only about 100 boys were

there. Kirlian photographer, Dr Baranowski was also there and was

invited for lunch. The sumptuous food was laid out on plates in front

of the boys. The boys were waiting for Swami to come and join them. Dr

Baranowski then used his Kirlian camera and took photos of the food

laid out on the plates. There was no aura found around the plates of

food.

Later Swami

arrived and joined the boys for lunch. The boys recited the

Brahmaarpanam mantra before partaking the food. After the food mantra

was recited, Dr Baranowski again took pictures of the food. This time,

blue aura was found around the plates of food. He was excited but yet

having a scientific mind asked Swami on the reason for the blue aura

around the food. Swami said that the Brahmaarpanam mantra is a very

powerful mantra and that after recitation, the food is converted to

prasadam, as it has been offered to God. It further purifies the food

and all items around it. Thus, the blue aura was found around the

plates of food after the mantra was recited.

 

FOOD MANTRA

The meaning of

Brahmaarpanam Mantra. It is as under:

Brahmaarpanam Brahma Havir

Brahmaagnau Brahmanaa Hutam

Brahmaiva Tena Gantavyam

Brahma Karma Samaadhinaha

The whole

creation being the gross projection of Bramham, the Cosmic

Consciousness itself; the food too is Bramham, the process of offering

it is Bramhan; it is being offered in the fire of Brahman. He who thus

sees Brahman is action, reaches Bramham alone.

Aham

Vaishvaanaro Bhutva

Praaninaam Dehamaashritha

Praanaapaana Samaa Yuktaha

Pachaamyannam Chatur Vidam

I, the Supreme

Spirit, abiding in the body of living beings as the Fire (Vaiswanara)

in their stomach I am associated with their Praana and Apaana, digest

the four type of foods (solids, fluids, semi-fluid and liquid) which

they eat.
