Guest guest Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 (41) Mahaasvanah- One from whom comes the great sound – the Veda. One who possesses thundering voice of compulsion: Svana means `sound'. One whose `call' is thundered in all hearts, familiarly known as the `compelling whisper' of the Higher. Or, Svanam can also mean `breath'; and so, the term can mean, `He whose great breath is the very Vedas'. " Thus, O Maitreyee, this has been breathed forth from this great Being what we have as Rigveda. Yajurveda " -Brihadaaranyaka Upanishad (4.4.10). In the Spiritual literature of India we often read Vedas described as His breath; He breathed out the Vedas (Nih- svasitam). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
