Guest guest Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 HARI AUM Ekonavimsati-mukhah is the word that is used in the Mandukya Upanishad.

The Vedanta Sastra tells us that the nineteen sense organs mentioned as the operating media conducted by higher divinities are: the eye conditioned by Sun, the nose by the Aswinis, the tongue by Varuna, the tactile sense by Vayu, the ears by the Dik Devatas, the speech by Agni, the mind by Moon, the chitta by Vishnu, the ego by Rudra, the buddhi by Brahma, and so on. So what remains in us apart from the contributions made by these gods?
