PRAJAPATHI

"OM NAMO BHAGAVATHE VASUDEVAYA"

Friends,

I saw lot of commotions made regarding "PRAJAPATHY". Literal meaning of PRAJAPATHY is Brahma, the LORD OF CREATION.

PRAJAPATHIS ARE 10 in numbers :-

They are (1) Mareechi (2) Athri (3) Angirasa (4) Pulasthya (5) Pulaha (6) Krathu (7) Prachethas

(8) Vasishta (9) Bhrugu (10) Narada [Manu 1-34}

According to Brahadaranyaka Upanishad Verse 2. His Praja is three fold : Asuras, Manushas and Devas.

On the Asuras he enjoins "BE KIND TO ALL', On Manushas "be charitable' and on Devas practise "self control"

However, what I saw in the WEB is given below :

Prajapathy

 

If Krishna is a far cry from the superlative person of Jesus, there is another person in the Rig Veda who fits the comparison most. As there are 73 books in the Holy Bible, there are 10 books in the Rigveda. Ten mandalams. First nine mandalams refers to a God and presents methods of worship as rituals. In the tenth mandalam, besides this Lord Almighty, there is the mention about a man. The first born and only born son of the God. His name is `Prajapathy'. Prajapathy, the son of the God comes to this world at the appropriate time. After coming to this world he travels around advising mankind, what is sin and what is not sin; what is to be done and what is not to be done; what is wrong and what is right. To those human beings, who accept his advises and obey his orders, he offers prosperity and peace in this worldly life and salvation at the time of their death. And being the completion of his venture to redeem mankind from sin, he gets sacrificed at the end his specified period on earth.

In verse 7 chapter 90 of the 10th book of the Rigveda, the sacrifice of Prajapathy the Son of God, is well explained.

`At the time of sacrifice, the son of God will be tightly tied to a wooden sacrificial post using iron nails by hands and legs, he will bleed to death and on the third day he will regain his life in a resurrection." Evidently none of the avatars meets this description. Nor are they expecting another incarnation, which will fit the description and attributes. The attributes of Prajapathy are given in the Rigveda and as in Sathapadha Brahmana, a supplement to Yajurveda. The next avatar is Kalki who is simply the destroyer. Let us start from the beginning:

 

sa paryaghachachukrama virunamsnaviram shudhhama papavittham kavirmanishi : paribhur swayambhur yadhatha ityadhorthan viyadhadhacha chiviyaha samabhyaha" A self realized person visualizes that supreme personality of God head as (1) paryagathaha – omnipresent (2) Shukramaha – omnipotent (3) akayamaha – having no phenomenal body (4) avranamaha – in this person there are no imperfections that of gross physical body (5) Asnaviramaha – without any vein (his actions do not depend upon the viens for emulation of blood to the limbs of his body which is perfect on his own occord, in other words no blood in his veins) (6) shukthamaha – he is pure, perfect, no impurity (7) appapavidhham – he is beyond any mundanity as maya never can have any hold ( dark ness can't enter him) (8) kavihi – he becomes the efficient cause for the creation and preservation of the universe and therefore he is omniscient (9) manishihi – he is the first philosopher who destroys the darkness of the heart of the soul with his spiritual light (10) paribhuhu – controller of everything (11) swayambhuhu – self-existent, from the beginning, he is not of the father and mother by flesh-isha upanishad

 

 

 

 

 

..In the beginning God was there and he was a spirit.(Ithereya Upanishad:1/1/1) Kathopanishad says:" Naiva vaacha na manasaaPraapthum shakyo na chakshushaAstheethi bruvathonyyathraKadam thadupalabhyathe "The Holy Spirit of the God cannot be reached with the eyes, mind or words. Only those who believe that He exists and says so, will be reaching Him.(Katham 6:12)

 

 

"Sa eekshatheeme nu lokaLokaa Paalaanusruja ithiSodbhaaya eva purushamSamudruthya moorchayaayt"After the creation of the Firmament, Earth and Waters, the Holy Spirit of the God thought like this. "I have created all the Worlds. For them I should create a protector (Savior). With this intention, the Holy Spirit created a Person from His own self. (Ithareyopanishad 1. 1:3)

 

 

"Hiranyagarbha: samavarthaagreBhuuthasya jaatha: pathireka aaseethSadaadhaara Prudhwivim dyaamuthemamKasmai devaaya havisha vidhemam."In the beginning, God and his supreme spirit alone existed. From the supreme Spirit of the God proceeded Hiranya Garbha, alias Prajapathy, the first born of the God in the form of light. As soon as born, he became the savior of all the worlds.RgVeda X:121:1

 

 

"Thasmaad virraada jaayathaviraajo adhi purusha:Sjaatho athyarichyathaPaschaad bhoomimadhopura:"From that male the universe came into being. From that body of the universe came the omnipresent Person. That Person thus became manifest, adopted various forms and character and created the earth and other planets along with the creatures to live in them.(Rigveda X:90:5)

 

 

"Purusha evedam sarvamYadbhutham yachabhavyamUthaamruthathwasya esaanaYa daannenathirohathi"This man, the first born of the God is all that was, all that is and all that has to be. And he comes to this world to give recompense to everybody as per his deeds. (Rigveda X:90:2)

 

 

"Tham yajnam barhishi proukshanPurusham jaathamagrathaThena deva ayajanthaSadhya rushayaschaye"This man, the first born of the God, was tied to a wooden sacrificial post and the gods and the Kings along the seers performed the sacrifice`Purushasookta' Rigveda X:90:7

 

 

"Thamevam Vidwanamruthaiha bhavathyNanya pandha ayanaya vidyathe"This (sacrifice) is the only way for redemption and liberation of mankind. Those meditate and attain this man, believe in heart and chant with the lips, get liberated in this world itself and there is no other way for salvation tooYajurveda XXXI:18, Rigveda X:90:16.

UNQUOTE.

Our HINDU RELIGION is not STATIC VERY BUT VERY DYNAMIC. It is also one of the ancient religions.

We call BRAHMA as "PITHAMAHA".

Regards to one and all.
