Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 STANZA -8 Isanah pranadah prano jyesthah sresthah prajapatih hiranyagarbho bhugarbho madhavo madhusudanah  (Isanah) = The Lord Most High (Pranadah) = giver of life (Pranah) = life .. Jyestah) = the eldest (Srestah) = the choicest (Prajapatih) = ProgenitOr (Hiranyagarbhah) = the golden egg (Bhugarbhah) = the centre of the earth; and womb of the earth (Madhavah) = the husband of the wealth goddess (Madhusudanah) = the one who crushed the demon Madhu.   MEANING:  Invoke the Lord as the most high, as the life-giver and the life; as the eldest and the choicest of the whole creation; as the progenitor,' the golden egg and the centre as well as the womb of the earth; as the husband of the wealth goddess and the one who crushed the demon Madhu. Explanation : 1. The Lord most high means the one who presides over every part and particle of the creation, the indweller and the one beyond. 2. Life is the manifestation of space energy which expresses itself through the vital centres of the body to raplenish every part continuously. Since the Lord is the content of the space, He is the life-giver. 3. He is not only the content of space bur also of the layers of space, the nucleus of the atoms and the energy centres in our body. He is the very life itself,  ..  4. Since everything is born our of him He is the eldest of all the created entities.  5. Since He is the essence and content of everything, He is the choicest desire towards which everyone should strive to progress. 6. The seed, principle of the whole universe is one of his manifestation. Hence, He is the seed principle of every seed, and is rightly the Progenitor. 7. Since the globe of space activises as the globe of golden light from the background space of darkness, before every creation, the creator, Brahma, is said to be born out of the golden egg.  8. The spark of the earth towards itself It is also conscious of itself being attracted towards the sun, and repelled by the force of its own speed. Hence, this centre keeps poise to keep the earth in its own orbit. This is the centre which was the first womb of the formation of the whole earth globe. This centre is one of the manifestations of the Lord.  9. The goddess of wealth and splendour is Laxmi. She is the wife of the Lord and resides always in his heart during pralaya and on his chest during the creation. 10. When the space globe was first existing during the creative slumber of the Lord, its space became two equal parts. ( two different charges of lines of force). Two opposing forces sprang up in the form of two great demons, Madhu and Kaitabha. The Lord killed them (neutralised them and formed the two poles of the space globe). Hence, He is the killer of the demon Madhu.  COURTESY - MASTER E.K Regards Bharathi.A Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy!

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Hi I have been following the Vishnu Sahasranama for 15 years now My interpretation and meaning is different from what Bharati has given, I am not trying to argue, im just putting across my interpretation. for Stanza - 8 Isanah - The lord of everything in everything Pranadah- the life in every living organism and the energy in every other object in the universe Pranah - The life energy itself jyestah - the First Sreshtah - The best Prajapatih- Leader of all in all Hiranyagarbah - The Universe(golden egg) is in his womb and he is beyond what we term the universe Bhugarbah - He is in the core of the Earth Madhavah - He also has the female (energy) in him Madhusudanah - Always in divine ecstasy (Madhu) Meaning: He is in everything and everything is in him , all life is within him and life is withing everything. He is the energy itself that is in everything He is the First and the Best, he is the rules all (Now comes the real meaning) he has the entire universe in his womb and you are part of that universe, since you are already a part of him you are already him , you live on the earth and he is within the core of the earth that is energy, you already reap that energy from the earth so the energy is already in you and hence you are him. The female creative energy source is from him , and he is always in divine ecstasy (Please check mahavishnu and sri ranganath sleeping posture)even though the turbulent creative female energy is within him. The him being you Thanks PRaveen ________________________________ live life <livelife2k7 shakti sadhana Wednesday, 11 February, 2009 1:25:41 STANZA -8 vishnu sahasranamam STANZA -8 Isanah pranadah prano jyesthah sresthah prajapatih hiranyagarbho bhugarbho madhavo madhusudanah (Isanah) = The Lord Most High (Pranadah) = giver of life (Pranah) = life ..
