Guest guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 |Jai Ma| Dear Raghuveer, Namaskar. Ashraya also means shelter or place of protection. The three feet or 'Tri-pada' usually has reference to the occupation of God in the three lokas (bhur, bhuva and svarga), so in this case Ma /could /be referred to as the shelter of the three worlds (and us living in it). Just my two cents.

The enigma here is how to realise the fourth the hidden state, symbolised by the secret fourt pada of gayatri and all other fourth divisions, also the state beyond dream, deep sleep, and waking state.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 |Jai Ma| Dear Mahahradanatha, Namaskar. Nice input on Gayatri. Just to add, if one adds a Pada (eight syllables) to the Gayatri (3x8) one gets the Anushtup Chandah (4x8).

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 sa ya imams trin lokan purnan pratigrhniyat, so'sya etat prathamam padam apnuyat; atha yavatiyam trayi vidya, yas tavat pratigrhniyat, so'sya etad dvitiyam padam apnuyat; atha yavad idam prani, yas tavat pratigrhniyat, so' sya etat trtiyam padam apnuyat, athasya etad eva turiyarn darsatam padam, paroraja ya esa tapati, naiva kenacanapyam; kuta u etavat pratigrhniyat. Sa ya imams trin lokan purnan pratigrhniyat, so'sya etat prathamam padam: 'When you chant the first Pada, first foot of the Gayatri Mantra, you become endowed with mastery over the three worlds'. Apnuyat; atha yavatiyam trayi vidya, yas tavat pratigrhniyat, so'sya etad dvitiyam padam apnuyat: 'If you can chant correctly even the second foot merely, you become endowed with all the glory that comes to one by study of the three Vedas'. Atha yavad idam prani, yas tavat pratigrhniyat, so' sya etat trtiyam padam apnuyat: 'If you recite the third foot of the Gayatri Mantra, you become capacitated to rule over every living being anywhere'. Athasya etad eva turtyam darsatam padam, paroraja ya esa tapati, naiva kenacanapyam: 'If you are to meditate on the fourth foot of Gayatri, what can I tell you', says the Upanishad. How can I explain to you the glory that will come to you? Nothing of this world can equal that. No gift of the three worlds can equal this fourth foot'. Not the three Vedas, not all beings put together, 'nothing mentioned up to this time can equal the glory that comes to one who meditates on this fourth foot of Gayatri'. Paroraja ya esa tapati, naiva kenacanapyam: kuta u etavat pratigrhniyat: 'How can you describe the glory that comes through the meditation on the fourth foot? It is inexpressible; it is transcendent; it is superior to everything which is material or visible'. tasya upasthanam; gayatri, asy eka-padi dvi-padi tri-padi catus-pady a-pad asi, na hi padyase. namas te turiyaya darsataya padaya parorajase; asav ado ma prapad iti; yam dvisyat, asav asmai kamo ma samrddhiti va; na haivasmai sa kamah samrddhyate yasma evam upatisthate; aham adah prapam iti va. Tasya upasthanam gayatri: You have to pray to Gayatri, meditate on Gayatri by certain methods. One of the methods is a verbal chant, a prayer offered to the great deity of the Gayatri. A particular chant is given here. Tasya upasthanam: 'A holy devout worship or adoration is called Upasthana'. What is it? Gayatri ity: 'O' Gayatri, the great one! You are one-footed, two-footed, three-footed and you possess the fourth foot also'. Eka-padi; dvi- padi, tri-padi, catus-pady: You are one-footed, two-footed, three footed or four-footed as the case may be. 'You are everything, but really you have no feet. That is also true' A-pad asi: Who can say that you have feet. These feet are only concepts in our mind. You are universal, all-comprehensive. So, you are A-pad, without any feet whatsoever. Na hi padyase: 'You never move anywhere', therefore why should you have any feet? You are the immovable all-pervading being. Therefore you never move like the four-footed animals or four-footed beings - na hi padyase. Namas te turiyaya: 'Prostration to you, the fourth reality indicated by the Supreme Consciousness'. Darsataya padaya: 'That Reality which appears to be there in front of us, yet we cannot recognize through our intelligence'. Parorajase asav adom: 'That Being which is above all manifestation in the form of Sattva, Rajas, Tamas, the material form'. Ma prapad iti; yam dvisyat, asav asmai kamo ma samrddhiti va; na haivasmai sa kamah samrddhyate yasma evam upatisthate; aham adah prapam iti va: 'Whatever you wish in your mind at the time of the chant of the Gayatri Mantra, that materialises itself. That becomes your property. Not only that; nobody can get what you can get. You stand above all people. You may prevent someone from getting by the chant of the Gayatri, and you may get everything that you require by the chant of the Gayatri'. Both things are possible. The positive and the negative aspects of the power that accrues to one by the chant of Gayatri are mentioned here. The positive aspect is that you are capable of acquiring everything. The negative aspect is that you are able to prevent anything, if it is necessary to do so. You can oppose and prevent anything from taking place if it is not supposed to take place at all according to your will; or if it is to take place, it can take place also by your positive will. So, if you wish it should take place, it will; and if you wish it shall not, it will not.

Dear Visti I am glad you liked my posting. Maybe one should add, for those who don´t know it, that there is the verse Metre called Gayatri, of three padas i.e. 24 letters, and a Mantra called Gayatri which is the mantra of Devi in her form of Savitri. Of course your comment is in tune with the meaning of the Gayatri mantra and its reference to the three worlds. It is also further interpreted to encompass all the 7 lokas and in correspondence to that also all the 7 chakras in the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
