Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Namaste Srini, Here are a few of my questions and observations... Q1: Who is the seer kushika? In general, is the seer the one who is credited as the original composer of the verses? Vedokt Raatri Suuktam, verse 4: She is ours now. May we see Her effortless, unimpaired movements upon the earth as a bird sees from its dwelling in a tree, (remaining only the witness). Q2: Were Her movements impaired before (in the Night of Duality) but now they are not? Was it our saying to Her " do not change " that was impairing Her movement? When we become the witness then She is no longer impaired because we are no longer attached to her changes? Vedokt Raatri Suuktam, verse 5: For the entire host of humanity, for animals who traverse by foot, or birds who fly in the air, She is the object of desperate search. Q3: I can understand the host of humanity desperately searching for Her once the Dawning Light has begun to shine, but were we searching for Her during the Night of Duality also? Perhaps during the Night of Duality our desperate search was for the Goddess of Night (who else was there?). We tried to come closer to Her by pursuing our many selfish desires. Q4: What does it mean for an animal or bird to desperately search for Her? Jai Maa! Jai Swamiji! Rolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Jai Srini I love Vedoktam Ratri Suktam because we can see that the mother is in all life. In the carnival ( popular party in Rio de Janeiro - Brazil) all people danced and chanted (not devotional songs), and I remembered this verse very much. Because she is Omnipresent, the Goddess of the places high and low... She gave definition to Her sister (...) and the darkness departs May we see (...) as a bird sees from its dwelling in a tree... She is the object of desperate search...
