[akhandbha]

Three of the four principal opulence of the Lord consists of "ashok, abhay and amrta". (tripad-vibhuti) : Lack of sorrow (eternal bliss), lack of fear (always secure) and lack of death (immortal).

One fourth of the opulence is "ananta".

Since only one of the four opulence of the Lord is manifested in this material universe (only "ananta"), so it is called Ek Pad Vibhuti.

The spiritual universe is complete in all respects.

[TheZaned]

I see a few kids in my school do things unacceptable to hindus and the only thing I can do I pray for them. I listen continuously to the vedas and have a sanskrit book, but I cannot understand Sanskrit that well as I only self-studied for the past three years. Can someone pass me something where I can learn the vedas in english. But, I don't need a translation. Specifically I am looking for the sama and rig veda. On top of that, I need the sama more, because I actually read it. Thank you all Om.

[rsbullz]

The purusha sukta is found in all 4 vedas. The version in the above video is from the Taittiriya Aranyaka of the Krishna Yajur Veda and not the Rig Veda.

[vishvasvasuki]

When the chanter says "chaM yOrAvRRiNImahE ", shouldn't he nasalize the "yO", rather than pronouncing aM?

[coolsasii]

gr8 2 be a hindu..

[MrDhurandhar]

The mythologyof Vishnu reincarnitation has scientific basis since it shows the evolution of lifeform beginnining in water or sea evolving into mammels amd human form so is the fish etc incarnation form of Visnu

nice

[harsharamesha]

@xXBlackxRebelXx let all religions live in peace. There is no reason to insult many on the actions of a few. I am a Hindu and believe our deities and spiritual principles would not support such insults to any faith, any human, or any object. Do not desecrate a faith.

[xXBlackxRebelXx]

@harsharamesha just because you are pansy, I dont have to be either.

[xXBlackxRebelXx]

Buddha is not Vishnu.

[kalikaputra]

@xXBlackxRebelXx Two buddhas son. Guatama buddha(vishnu avatar) and Siddharta Buddha(fake human copy). Gautama born in Bihar,siddharta in Nepal.The whole thign with the Pali scriptures is king Asoka telling buddhist to get their shit together and stop fighting who is the real buddha.Instead the fiends simply merged the text hence PALI TEXT.In it Buddha teaching the gods farout powers and other stories he is doing simple Jesus shit like healing dogs and poor etc. ................

[kalikaputra]

@xXBlackxRebelXx Why the mix up? Vishun buddha mums name?Maya devi.Fake buddha all buddhist except a few with brain worship aka Siddharta mum's name? maya devi. They called fake buddha gautama because he was the favorite student of his guru Gautama,real buddha birth name was Gautama not a nickname and so many similarities. Every avatar have a fake. Rshabdeva? has Ritabha maharaja who founded Jainism taking vedic stuff and tweaking.All the Alankars are mentioned in the vedas two.Damm cheaters.

[kalikaputra]

@xXBlackxRebelXx Either way Buddhism and Jainism are million times better and more refine than Islam and the other we are the ONLY WAY Judiac nonsense causing so much trouble int he world today like Chrisitianity and Judaism.

[chr1stw12]

@kalikaputra

you do realise this is nothing to do with Islam? and saying that any religion is 'better' than another, just shows ur sheer lack of real knowledge into who and what god is....

[gopihithen]

[schopenhauersring]

The great Purushasuktam - a telling collection of mantras espousing the Vedic way of life, recording its belief systems in chaste Sanskrit. Raises one to a higher spiritual level.

[christusfactusest]

creation, preservation and destryoing is one and the same. this energy is present at all times.

[nacashok]

Thanks for the wonderful video !!

[MrWarriorspirit]

How is that Brahman generating those possibilities? Through us. Brahman manifests new realities through the infinite jivas, experiencing reality from infinite perspectives. Every new moment is a new moment.

If you understand this you will understand your infinite creative potential and how reality is not static, but dynamic and alive.

[MrWarriorspirit]

However, this assumption assumes there is a creation. If one looks closely at the Vedas, especially at the concept of Hiryanagarbh, it says there has been no creation. There is just the eternal present, and it from Brahman that every possibility is becoming manifest. Then think about it means every single moment, a new possibility becomes manifest. Every moment is a new moment. A new reality.

Thus Brahman is that infinite creative potential that is constantly generating new possibilities.

[MrWarriorspirit]

I would like to share some comments on this discussion. Could there be a fluctuation in Brahman? It would seem that as Brahman is the eternal, unchanging and absolute, there cannot be change within him. At the same time one cannot deny that such a change has to take place, whether illusory or real, else there would be no Jiva experiencing duality.

I think the main problem is our assumption that the Vedas are referring to a prime creation in the beginning of time billions of years ago.

Cont

[akhandbha]

Brahman is without change. Jeeva is the marginal potency of God (Para-Brahman). The material universe is real. It is created and destroyed. the spiritual universe is indestructible.

[kuppanyahoo]

thank u so much for sharing this video & audio

[gilma50]

Excellent one ! Manoramyamaga Irukku !

[sticky4rod]

in India brahmins used to be poor and the low bania used to be rich. in other words there was a divison of pwoer amosnt the rich, pwoerful and prestigious.

brahmin was prestigious without power or riches, king and khatriya was powerful without so much riches or prestige, and bani was rich wo=ithout power or prestige.

compare with anglosaxon system where money buys you power and prestige. IN india

otherwisetouching dead animal skin was sinful.

sudra was basically a working class manual labour.

His mouth became the Brahmin, his arms were made Kings, what were his thighs, they were made into the merchants and from his feet were the servants born. :O

Is this GOD racist ?

[oldnewbieraver]

These are but occupations when it was created. It has nothing to do with race. Many a shudra had become a brahmin in the vedic times before the system became crystallised and hereditary.

[pcermomb]

Whatever may be the case, I see no reason for a verse to be talking about caste system in a Sukta like this ... Even if the caste system was based on occupation in the vedic times, it is obviously very trivial to get a place in a Suktam like this, which is supposed to talk about the Cosmic Purusha. I doubt the integrity of these scriptures ... The demarcation based on caste has obviously caused such a huge damage ... If vedas are the word of GOD, he would not have made such a historic mistake !

[oldnewbieraver]

It is from the Cosmic Purusha, that the four fold occupations emerged. It was the basic structure of society where there was mobility and division of tasks, which resulted in India having the highest GDP in the world for hundreds of years. And this was the time before issues such as untouchability, discrimination etc arose. That the system got corrupted is not disputed. But to blame God for that is as terribly reductive as blame the Catholic religion for paedophiles in their churches/schools.

[pcermomb]

Ok, the system must have got corrupted, it's a possibility. My point is, this verse is the odd one out among all the other verses. Any one who has a perspective of the Universe according to the modern astronomy understands that the solar system may/mayn't be a drop of water in a huge ocean and gets humbled. When a suktam like this which takes about the Cosmos and appears in all the four Vedas mentions about such a trivial thingie like the Caste System, thr is something fishy about it, Is itn't?

[oldnewbieraver]

If we accept the fact that the system ws flexible and not crystallised/caste in stone (as evidenced by many historical teachers of Shudra origin including the jewel of them, Sri Kalidasa),then what is fishy about the mention of the four-fold caste in the suktam?The cosmos is not separate from human life,this society made of the the various occupations are part of it too.And all the caste are irrevocably identified as part of God.And indeed it is up2 us whether to be a Brahmana,shudra or vaishya.

[rajeshvrajan]

i am not getting where is the caste system in this verse. it just splits into different groups emerging from various parts of GOD's body. where is the discrimination and racism? where is it said that one is superior to the other - it is just interpretation and wrong usage by people that made some groups as superior and some as inferior? if you mean to say FEET is inferior - here are my arguments - hindus believe prostrating at the feet of elder and great people - not at their face?

[pcermomb]

By the way, this is not related to the topic but, how is rebirth explained in Advaita Vedanta ... It says that Atman is identical with Brahman .. It is pure. Then, how can Karma and rebirth be attributed to the soul ? Cause, it is said that only the soul is transferred from one body to another in Gita and elsewhr ..

And how does Karma differ from one soul to another ... There is supposed be only one soul ... Universal soul or Brahman ..

[oldnewbieraver]

Advaita puts forward to standpoints - the one of Absolute Truth (paramarthika) and the one of relative truth (vyavaharika). When seen from paramarthika, there is no rebirth, there is no karma, there is no duality. However as long as one does not attaid the nondual state of Turiya, these concepts become relevant. However ultimately, there is no division in the Atman and no karma is attached to it, nor rebirth for the unborn effulgent non-dual Self. I'm sure others might be able to explain better.

[pcermomb]

Yeah .. But, my question is, how is rebirth explained vyavaharically :) ??? Wat is that entity that takes one body after another ... You can't say it's soul ... Then U will be contradicting the very premise that Atman is Brahman ... and thus is pure.. No karma can be attributed to it ... !!! Paradox .. Is it n't ?

[asubmani]

This energy has been described in many ways by many people. One description is that this energy merges with the super energy which is Vishnu, so all this energy is part of Vishnu. Vishnu the preserver concept etc,came only later to explain this concept. Also, the first being or object to which this enery was attached is also known as Veda Purusha. The way rebirth is explained is different in different texts. Just remember that Energy can neither be created or Destroyed. :)

[pcermomb]

There can't be any fluctuations in Brahman by the very definition of Brahman as being immutable and ultimate reality. Because, anything that changes is mutable, and mutability is due to incompleteness and anything incomplete can't be the ultimate reality. Perceiving such fluctuations is itself called avidya due to Maya bacause we are unable to look at the unity in the core of things.

[pcermomb]

A wave in the ocean is a disturbance and is accompanied by transfer of energy, Thus,even though the medium is water, it IS an actual change, NOT a perceived change. Thus, this analogy is wrong.

[pcermomb]

But, there CAN"T be any fluctuations in Brahman even though there is an eventual restoration of state. Fluctuations are due to instability and are due to mutability. That is why I have a problem with the analogy.

[pcermomb]

However, the movie screen analogy is perfect in the sense that the screen which is immutable by itself acts as the support for watever projections. Such projections et al. are Maya. Though an illusion, the existence of those projections are not untruth, but a lower truth. That is, the world is not untruth .. after all, it is existent, but any differentiation is an illusion.

[pcermomb]

And now comes the crucial question, Why shd there be such an illusion ? What is the CAUSE ? After all it is the reason why there is so much pain and suffering in the world ...  Yes.. An advaitin would say it is just a matter of realizing one's true nature? But, why at the first place should there be anything like MAYA ???

[pcermomb]

But, nevertheless, there shd be a reason for the existence of a cartoon character, and why the artist drew it. Our mind need not have 'super' skills to understand any proper reply given to this question !

I wonder what sort of LILA is this. If we look at the bloody history of the past and the present of this world, what sort of LILA is this !!! If this is the case, . I hope the almighty is sane.

[pcermomb]

Of course, there is rebirth according to advaita (and this is a fact, vidya and not avidya due to a lower level of consciousness) as long as one doesn't attain Brahman or supreme consciousness. (punarapi jananam ... punarapi maranam, sankara himself says so ...) Since I am trying to look at the bigger picture only, I am questioning the talk about caste system in the suktam which led and is leading to so much of chaos in the society.

[pcermomb]

When I am in a dream , I have emotions, sometimes I do feel pain too .. That pain is NOT unreal... It is real at that state of consciousness. You know that, it was a dream only when you wake up.. i.e at a higher level of consciousness. Then you would say, YES, I had a dream and I had unnecessary emotions. But, you would not say, so and so did not happen in my dream when they actually happened.

[pcermomb]

Thus, I don't think " the world is unreal " is the right way of putting it. After all, It is experienced by us even if, may be just like a dream. .... We can only say, all duality is illusion. Jus that thr are lower and higher truths.

[pcermomb]

By what you say, MAYA shd be unreal. But, according to Sankara, Maya is neither real nor unreal.

Why so ?

I think 'illusion' is the right way of putting all things other than Brahman. Because, experience of all duality can be an illusion, but how can it be unreal ... The fact that we are discussing is not, after all unreal.

[pcermomb]

Yes. But, here comes two questions ... Who is the dispenser/regulator of Karma and what is that Karma attributed to ? One thing that is obvious is the dispenser of Karma can't be Brahman becoz no such activity can be attributed to Brahman or Absolute consciousness. There should be some other intelligent entity. For the second question ... again, Atman(Brahman) can't be attributed any Karma. You would say, Jivas are attributed Karma. Rite ?

[pcermomb]

Actually, I think Karma is said to be of three types. Sanchita, prarabdha and kriyamana .. Sanchita, the accumulated karma of all the past lives, prarabdha, the amount of Karma that one has to experience during this life and kriyamana, karma that is generated during this life. So, in case of Ramana Maharshi, it shd hav been that his Sanchita = 0 when he was born, prarabdha experienced by death, and no kriyamana generated during his life. Well, anyways, I am not bothered about all this.

[akhandbha]

Yes, a siddha has no past karma. So he is born liberated. The same is true of all the great personalities who appear from vaikunth loka, which is beyond the zone of undifferentiated brahma jyoti.

[vvbchandrasekhar]

Akhandbha, you look like a learned man. So, one small question - Why is this universe created?

[shashihasina]

Creation and annihilation of universe is part & parcel duty of the supreme Narayana. It is a illusion that Narayana creates and tests how the jeeva act in this world. Very few people dedicate their life towards the supreme Narayana by chanting his glorious names. REst waste their life on perishable things. Let us understand the potential of Narayana and surrender to him.

hari om.

[spiritualbhakti]

"appear from vaikuntha" i'm not sure this is correct How does a nitya siddha or nitya mukta become "born" in maya shakti.

[millwatts]

@spiritualbhakti

We should go BACK to Goloka as said the great acharya. What said a pretender does not really matter for it leads to sahajiysm and ultimately mayavadism and should not even spoken.

AgtSP

[pcermomb]

The basic platform that the theory is built should be proper. Above that, one can use all of his creativity and propose all sorts of things. So, I don't want to discuss these things.

[pcermomb]

In fact, it IS a very very important question. Because, it would answer if there is any external control of our fate depending on our actions, thoughts, words etc etc in this and previous births OR we are in total control of ourselves. After all, this is the main difference between Hinduism and Buddhism.

[rajeshvrajan]

continuing...Swami Desika has written PADUKA SAHASRAM revering Lord's fee - 1000 slokas. so the feet has been priased and also in Vaishnavism - the eternal bliss is to attain Lord's Lotus Feet - so no where Feet is inferior. it is just people who want to misinterpret and degrade hindu mythology and scriptures...

[pcermomb]

I totally agree with you. I am not ignorant about that. In fact, we are advised to first look at the feet of the idol when having darshan. My only point is that, there is no necessity to specify the divisions of mankind based on castes .. in a suktam which is supposed to talk about Cosmos ...

[samaganam]

@rajeshvrajan absolutely right.Why are god's feet inferior??anyone please tell me.We all pray to God's feet so why are lord's feet inferior??

[pcermomb]

And, idiotic comment ! Yeah ... may be I don't know ...

SOLID and PEACEFUL ... LOL

[krishnabs63]

@Ooga001 I think you are right. but if discussion started on this it is never ending. think from other end. man created chaturvarna to maintain solidarity, peacefulness, safety etc. planning, management, research etc was responsibilty of one group called brahmana, safety was the responsibilty of other group called kshatriya, fulfilling food, cloth etc was the responsibility of vysya and remaining other work allotted to shudra.by this any member of any varna should not get hurt, contd...

[krishnabs63]

contd.. all the 4 varnas has been collided with GOD and made it clear that GOD is incomplete without any of the Varnas. brahmana is not by birth instead by his karma(Work). he can not be selfish or self centered. total betterment of the society was his responsibility. like this all the members of 4 varna or group of people had got their own responsibilities to perform. later on as population increased they spread over but they continued the same work what they were doing.contd....

[krishnabs63]

contd.... in total there was no any cast or religion in our country. in fact what we call hindu religion or hinduism is a wrong concept. ours is "Sanatana Dharma"

Please watch the videos in my favorites folder and judge for yourself!

[vvbchandrasekhar]

This is a hymn on the creation of the Universe. A reference can be found that supports the Big Bang theory as earlier as the Rig Veda. We should not be concerned about Sanskrit, but also about the knowledge of the scriptures

[rahulrajbest]

please explain to how its related to big bang.Thank you. Rahul

[asubmani]

I agree, but I don't think Vedic texts need approval of science, if it is there then it just makes life easier and it is to Sciences credit. Also, Science is limited to intellect and these things require you to go beyond the intellect. So, big bang theory is a small part of the Vedic darshana. Mind you what Vedantist say about creation of universe is not accepted by all 6 darshanas of Hinduism :)

The closest to the big bang is "HiranyaGarbha"or GOlden foetus fom which the Universe was created.

is this chant from chinmaya mission?

[vishvasvasuki]

No. From Rig Veda, also found in the Yajur Veda.

[hsnse]

This is from the Yajur veda. The lines and meter are slightly different in Rg Veda.

[QUINTUSMAXIMUS]

I really like Sanskrit. I have been very interested in mantras lately and reading a lot about mantras.

[rsamvedi]

I really admire the learned scholars and pandits from the South of India for their perfectionism when it comes to Sanskrit chanting and rituals. This is one of the most remarkable renderings I have heard and it makes you feel connected to the Almighty !!!

[dikshamen]

this chanting is wonderfull my kundalini got spontnausly arused and i bursted in to bliss

[dikshamen]

Normally I don't replay to comments like this but in your case I make an exception! its about spirtual bliss!!! -you are such a Ignorant low class person and it is appropriate of a sewage class of a person to write low class replay such as yours - you should be ashamed of yourself !!!

[lnpai1707]

this is not a porn site. if u dont believe in something it is OK. but pls refrain from derogatory comments !!!

[sankara1982]

Kundalini literally "coiled". In Indian yoga, a "corporeal energy"[1] - an unconscious, instinctive or libidinal force or Shakti, envisioned either as a goddess or else as a sleeping serpent coiled at the base of the spine, hence a number of English renderings of the term such as 'serpent power'. Kundalini is considered a part of the subtle body along with chakras (energy centres) and nadis (channels).

[sankara1982]

So contrary to popular opinion Kundalini is not exclusively "desire" but is a super set of Shakti which includes "desire".Yoga and Tantra propose that this energy may be "awoken" by such means as austerities, breath and other physical exercises, visualisation and chanting. It may then rise up a subtle channel at the spine (called Shushumna) to the head, bringing psychological illumination.

I think "dikshamen" meant that psychological illumination.

[ajetk]

Sanskrit is an amazing language.

[ajetk]

Oh thts brilliant!

It is sad tht we let such wealth slip away.

Listening to this i feel empowered, like being connected to that is divine.
