YOGAAYANAM
YOGAAYANAM
Sri Ram
(Universal consciousness) is at far, even Adiseshu i.e.,Lakshmana
representing moolaadhara Sakti is also at far, Jataayu comes to the rescue of kundalinee
sakti (Seeta Devi). The situation is some
thing like when big denomination currency is exhausted man will depend on lower
and lower denomination currency. Jataayu
represents ojaha sakti distorted form of Cosmic Consciousness. Jata means hair and aayu means sakti or life
force (in head) in Sanskrit. When that
Ojaha sakti is also exhausted, kundalinee sakti (Seeta Devi) will be
under the control of Ahamkaara.
Ahamkaara is represented here by Raavana. Losing all hopes of rescuing, kundalinee
sakti (Seeta Devi) will depend and wait for Sri Ram (Universal consciousness)
to rescue her. This is the Seeta Apaharan katha in Ramaayana. Apaharan means kidnapping.
Mandhara means
man dhara i.e., the saadhaka who is under the control of wavering mind. kaikeyi means embodiment of desires. Sumitra means good friend. Kausalya means good counseling. Because of
Sumitra and Kausalya so far kaikeyi is contented. But when kaikeyi comes under the spell of
Mandhara(wavering mind) she does not care Dasaratha. Dasaratha means the leader of 10 senses or
imdriyaas i.e.,Buddhi(determination). So Buddhi(determination) dies. So kaikeyi ( embodiment of desires ) wants
power for Bharata(saadhaka) who is not yet ripe for getting power of Darsan of
Sri Ram (Universal consciousness). As
per yuga dharma Sri Ram (Universal consciousness) goes away saying
Bharata(saadhaka) has to wait for 14 years for his darsan. This is story of Sri
Rama aranyawaasa.
Maya(Nature/SeetaDevi)
for ordinary man does not die.
Continuous prolonged &intensive Yoga sadhana is required for
janmaraahitya. Then only Nature dies for saadhaka. To show that Nature does not die the Seeta
Agni pravesa story is intended. Agni pravesa means to burn oneself in
fire. Fire brings out Seetaa(prakriti/
maya ) unscathed. Seeta is Ayonija. Ayonija means Seetha is not born out of
ordinary yoni(vagina). Seetha i.e.,
Maayaa is fully subservient & under the control of Paramaatma. Only under
the control of paramaatma only Maaya works.
Sri Rama Padukaa
Pattabhishekam/ Sri Rama Pattabhishekam
Ramayati iti
Raamaha means due to his attraction power He attracts us. That means Aatma Jyoti darsanam (the
appearance of great effulegence) is very attractive. Paaduka (a sort of shoe made with wood) is
the replica of moolaadhara chakra.
Bharata (saadhaka) dedicates his prithivee tatwa to paramaatma. In the beginning of Dhyaana sadhana the crossing of his initial ignorance (Prithivee tatwa) is
called Sri Rama padukaa pattabhishekam. Patta means spinal cord.
To dedicate the
five vibratory elements (ether, air, fire, water and earth) of the patta
(spinal cord) for the Darsan of
Aatmajyoti is represented by Sri
Rama pattabhishekam.
Jaya & vijaya
are the Dwaara paalakaaas(sentries) of
Sri Maha Vishnu. This is considered to
be the highest status in spiritual field.
Because of their ego even at that stage, the sages who come for the
Darsan of Sri Maha Vishnu get annoyed
and fall from the the grace of Sri Maha Vishnu. This story shows the Saadhakaa
(meditator) should be extra cautious of the ego that persists till the end of
uniting with paramaatma. They reunite
with paramaatma after crossing all the three granthis as explained below in
three incarnations i.e. Hiranyakasipu/Hiranyaaksha,Raavana &Kumbhakarna,
Sisupaala/Dantaawaktra.
When saadhaka
(Meditator) is burning with ego (self pride/ ahamkaara) then “you are not man,
be a lion, and with a lion effort come out of the grip of this ego” is the message
behind the Killing of Hiranyakasipu/Hiranyaaksha. i.e., the shedding of
physical body/Brahma granthi. Saadhaka is completely submerged in water
(samsaar). He (saadhaka) has to be brought out of this prithivee tatwa
(mooladhara chakra)which is initial stage of meditation. So with the teeth of
wisdom, the saadhaka is to be helped for his initial efforts to come out of
this water (samsaar). Va (varishta or great) raaha (road to divinity) &
Hiranyaaksha means eye on Sansaara. This is the idea behind Narasimha &
varaaha Avataara
Ravana is the
personification of lust & ego.
Kumbhakarna is is the personification of over eating& over sleeping. Killing of Raavana & Kumbhakarna
represents shedding of subtle body/ rudra granthi and make the meditator to go ahead for the
ultimate of entering the kingdom of God. This is the idea behind Rama Avataara.
The left over or
residual child-like doshaas (faults) are removed by shedding of Idea body/
shedding of subtle body/Vishnu granthi. This the idea behind Killing of
Sisupaala/Dantaawaktra. Sisu means
child. Danta means milk teeth. So both sisu & danta represents the
residual innocence of saadhaka t.e. obstrucyting him to achieve the kingdom of
God. This is the idea behind Krishna Avataara.
Abhishekam Panchaamrita
Snaanam
Water means
Nature. To dedicate this water i.e.,
Nature back to the almighty God i.e., Paramaatma is called Abhishekam in
Sanskrit. That means the gifts of the giver is not greater. To express this with humility Hindus perform
this Abhishekam ceremony in the temples.
Unless one
becomes a man of wisdom through yoga sadhana, the things of Nature of the giver
i.e, Ether, air, fire, water and earth are five nectars only. that means these five vibratory elements
shall not die for an ordinary man. We bow to the God saying “salute to you left
and right, upper and below, around you and everywhere “. This is the way of
showing our respects to the giver of givers.
So we express this by dedicating these five vibratory elements to
him. The cow milk, ghee, curd, sugar and
honey are the replicas of these five vibratory elements.
Be Hanuman. Hanu
means killing and man means mind. that
means fix your mind. The lips of Hanuman are red. That is Hanuman is personified with Cosmic
Consciousness. Like-wise fix your mind
and meditate on God till you are personified with Cosmic Consciousness.
Saadhaka or meditating yogi should discard
Ego, steady his restless mind, get rid of all the dross of Jeeva, so as to
climb the ladder and reach Paramatma and merge with him. This is the essence of
Maanava Janma. This is the meaning of birth as a human being.
