Guest guest Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Vedic Prayers Om-ithi Brahma Om-ith-idm-sarwam Om-ithi-yetat-anukruthi-ha-sma vai Api-om-sravaya Om-ithi-aasraavayati Om-ithi-saamaani gaayanthi Om shom ithi shastraani shamsanthi Om ithi adhwaryuhu pratigaram pratigunaathi Om ithi Brahma prasauthi Om ithi agnihotram anujaanaathi pravakshyan braahmanaha Om ithi aaha Brahma upaapnavaani ithi Brahma upaapnothi The syllable Aum is Brahman. The syllable Aum is Absolute Brahman and Relative Brahman. It is well known that Aum is used as an assent. The priests also (while performing sacrifices) start 'Make them (gods) hear' with Aum. With Aum they begin to recite Rik mantras. With Aum the officiating priest (Yajushah) executes every action. With Aum the Brahma permits. With Aum the sacrifice called Agnihotra is sanctioned to be begun. With Aum the Brahmin begins to each his disciple who says, 'May I realise brahman'. And he realised Brahman. (Taittiriya Upanishad, S.V. Chapter VIII, 1. Taken from The Vedanta Kesari, May, 2009) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
