Sri VishnuSahasranama: Bhoota-brit

[Guest guest]

Bhoota-bhrit

 

One who nurtures ( " brith " ) and nourishes all beings (living creatures: " bhoota " )

in all their attitudes is this Great Reality and, therefore, He is called as the

Bhoota Bhrit. In Geeta there is an elaborate description of this idea in the

l5th Chapter where the Lord points out how, He, as the light in the sun,

fertility in the earth, growth in the plants, nourishment in food, heat in fire,

-becomes Himself the �eater�, and, therefore, how He Himself presides over

all the functions of the body and mind, and apparently nurtures and nourishes

the creatures, who are in fact nothing other than Himself.

 

Jai Srimannarayana!
