Sri Rudram 29

Monday Aug 01, 2022

Monday Aug 01, 2022

The fourth Anuvaka is famous for Sarvātmābhava, the oneness of everything. It is an attempt to neutralize the deep seated prejudices by seeing everything as the manifestation of Bhagavan. The order and any disruption when looked upon deeply, is recognized as an infallible part of the order itself.

Letting go and letting God! Seeing the order as Isvara.
When one is present with what is -the order, one is in the flow of Isvara. One gains new insight and sees that one is non-separate from the order that is Isvara.

In this meditation we make space for stillness. The universal addiction towards doing makes it difficult to discover stillness. This meditation guides one to stillness. Abiding in stillness is abiding in Isvara.

Sri Rudram 27

There is no room for dyads in Vedanta and in Sri Rudram. Hence, the entire trajectory of the mantra is that of non-differentiation. All distinctions between the macrocosm and microcosm, the big and small has to be resolved and understood as one. All categories has to be 'Ishwarized'.

Sri Rudram 25

Thursday Jul 28, 2022

Thursday Jul 28, 2022

Rudra here is invoked as the seven Matrikas, the universal Mothers. Matrikas operate on the unconscious level bestowing self-mastery over one's bestial emotions. These verses are a lesson on accommodation and forgiveness.
