VOICE OF THE RISHIS - 18

 

ASAAVAADITYO BRAHMA

 

-- Yajurveda - Swadhyaya Brahmanam

 

The immemorial questions have been " Where is the God,

How does He look, is He formless or with a form, or by what name He

goes " . To all these quizzical metaphysical enquiries, several

theologians have given several answers in their own ways of

perceptions. And these varied answers have unfortunately brought in

various dissentions among the people leading to several sects. It is

ironically said that no other political or economic factor has

brought out so much ill will and displeasure, sometimes even death

and devastation, that the concept of God by the religious crusades

sectarian bigotry among the people of the same religion have become

the bane of human race.

 

A rather long introduction indeed!. And we shall come to the

final Vedic answer to this question, " Where dwells God " .

 

Showing us the sun, Veda says, " This very (As seen) Aaditya (Sun)

is Brahma (God). To us of the earth, sun is God. By the zodaic

system and materiological science and the law of physics, it is borne

out that the sun is the energiser and the source of all activity in

this world. Without hair splitting arguments, only academic in

content, this simple, short, but most significant Vedic saying states

that this very (Asou), sun (Aadity) is God (Brahma). Thus, sun

worship assumes great importance in Vedas, considering Aditya, the

sun as a Pratyaksha Daiva. He is worshipped by Gayatri Mantra.
