Suresah saranam sarma

Visvaretah prajabhavah

ahah samvatsaro vyalah

pratyayah sarvadarsanah

 

 

(SureSah) = the Lord of the devas,

(Saranam) = refuge

(Sarma) = forbearance.

(Visvaretah) = the sperm of the universe

(Prajabhavah) = The one who makes beings born

(Ahah) = the day

(Samvatsarah) = the year

(Vya lah) = the serpent

(Pratyayah) = faith

(Sarvadarsanah) = the vision of everything and all

 

MEANING :

 

Invoke the Lord as the lord of devas; the sense of refuge; and forbearance; also

as the sperm of the universe and the one who makes beings born, as the day, the

year and the serpent of time; as the object of faith and the vision of all and

everyone.

 

Explanation :

1. Suras are the Lords who guide the energy centres in us and in the universe.

They belong to the deva kingdom.

2. Refuge is a sense in us which stands as the cause of fearlessness. Fear

requires it on the objective plane and fearlessness is achieved by meditating it

on the subjective plane.

3. The sense which makes us withstand adversities and the faults of others is

the divine surface of defence in us. This is known as the silent endurance of

any injustice or adversity without complaining against others or fate.

4. Everything in this universe germinates through fecundity and ferilisation.

The sun's rays serve this purpose in every atom. As a result, we see everything

developing into its own state and form of

existence. This power is the sperm of the Lord.

5. The above described capacity makes beings born. On the lower plane, they are

born from the seed or the mother's womb. On the higher plane, everything is born

from its previous state of existence and takes its abode also in the previous

state of existence. For example, air is born out of space and exists in space.

The sperm makes the seminal fluid born which again exists in the sperm waiting

to conduct its function of fertilisation.

6. The day is the unit of time between a sunrise and a sunset. This unit varies

in its magnitude relatively to the magnitude of the consciousness of the

observer. Just as the human beings have their day, every being has its own day

varying in its magnitude. The Brahma has his own day through the span of which

he finds his unit manifestation of his creation. Thus the day is the unit form

of the Lord himself who projects the unit of time.

7. The year is another unit of time into which the Lord makes his manifestation.

The word samvatsara in Sanskrit itself explains the Lord nature of the year. The

movement of the one revolution which contains the cyclic periodicity of its

detail is the sense of the word in Sanskrit.

8. Vyalah. The movement which we call time is described as the divine serpent

upon the thousand heads of whom this whole splendour of the universe rests. The

winding and unwinding coils, the gliding of the total body without legs visible

and the periodical shedding of the scales of skin makes the serpent meditated as

the representative of time. Hence, the Lord is the imperceptible movement of the

serpent of time.

9. Pratyayah. Faith is the centre which sustains everything of us around itself

It is the functioning nucleus of the very biological and psychological entity

which is the unit existence of each of us.

10. Vision is the unity which exists beyond the diversity of what we know.

Knowledge pierces the veil of darkness in patches in various positions and

locations through various angles until the whole veil is removed revealing the

total background of the light beyond. This stage is called darsana or vision in

Sanskrit. This exists as intuition in everyone end leads him to the right

comprehension through a series of better understandings. It is a fine play of

the Lord who exists as the background light
