Stories from upanishads retold by archaea gosvami.
Dear friends and listeners. I'm back after a month-long
vacation. You missed my podcast, just
kidding. I traveled to many places
enjoyed a lot. Spend some very relaxing time
with family and friends. Now I'm back to the business as
usual. Today, I thought I will start
with an important opening, the shock story which actually
forms, the complete, open assured oppression of mission or
professional upanishad chronologically.
This open. His shirt was written around 400
BCE and after the era of the ancient to punishers exactly the
chronology of these upanishads difficult to State due to
various contradicting theories of historians and accommodations
However, it is pretty clear that this opening shot was written
after breather and nega-chin. Doogie Risha Cana cotta and
mundaka upanishad this upanishad immortalizes.
The Great Sage People Order. However, before I can begin,
today's story, I think I must tell you about the sage first.
Why did he got such a name? Which derived from a people tree
or a sacred fig tree, the backstory of sales.
People are the begins with the story of his father.
The great said that he jie, who was son of sage a turbine, the
composer of atharva Veda. Since the Richie lived with his
wife, Sue virtue and her sister do Humanity in his Hermitage by
the banks of river. Ganga Hermitage was very Pious
and it provided lots of positive energy.
So there was no demons or a shooter who could step into the
Hermitage or create any kind of nuisance.
Once there was a great they were soon as son grammar or a war
between gods and the demons. The Victorious, God's came to
the sage and the proposed to keep their celestial weapons.
In the custody of the sage, as no demons would enter the pious
environment and weapons will always remain safe.
The sage happily agreed to the proposal and hid the weapons in
his Hermitage after God's went back to the heavens,
supercharger was not happy with his decision to keep someone's
else's property. She told him if something
happens to those weapons, the sage would be responsible for
it. Although the determines Sage
accepted his mistake but said that he had given his word to
the gods. So he must keep the weapon safe
in The Hermitage. Many years passed by a, God
didn't come back to collect their weapons.
The sage saw that depends. We're losing their luster and
power as he washed them with the holy water so that it's power
work dissolving into it. In order to preserve the powers
and the energy of the celestial weapons.
He drank up the water in a while.
He saw that the weapons were useless as all the Energies.
And the powers were dissolved in the water, which he drank.
Then came the twist to the tale again.
A Fierce demon named Rick Tura. Attacked the gods, he blocked
the rivers, and brought in drought all over the Earth.
The gods wanted to attend the demons but the realize that
their weapons were in the city's Hermitage.
So they went back to the Hermitage and ask for the
reference to Sage. Give them back their weapons.
They saw their language weapon, the knew that these were
ineffective against the attacks of the demon.
As the demon grew stronger and attacked the gods.
He could not stop his, any relation using their
ineffective, weapons. Finally Indra, the king of Gods,
went back to the stage with folded.
Hands asked for a solution since the lychee told him that he
drank up all the energies and powers of all their celestial
weapons when they were losing their last year.
So all its powers and Celestial energies are His bones in there
was flabbergasted to hear this from the sage.
As he was wondering on how we can get the solution energies
back Sage propose, something stupid him.
He said that he would die and Inter could ask the gods.
Architect vishwakarma to craft a solution weapon from his bones,
which would carry the powers and energies of all celestial
weapons in there was befuddled to here.
This and was reluctant, finally looking at the deteriorating
morale of the Gods and the certain loss at Ritter has hand,
he didn't act until he agreed to the proposal.
Then says, the DG sat in padmasana and his body exploded
exposing his bones, which was Lush cherish and shiny from
observing the energies and powers of the celestial.
Weapons vishwakarma immediately collect added up all the bones
from the sages, dead body and crafted.
A deadly weapon named vajra Endura used is supremely
powerful weapon to defeat the demon and his whole and brought
Victory to the Gods. Please delete, he's greatest
sacrifices immortalized, in the form of a powerful weapon.
Virginia, however, through Archer who was away when Sage
sacrificed his life. And when she returned, she found
her husband dead. During that time, she was
pregnant and she decided to kill herself by self-immolation.
But before doing that, she decided to rip open a room and
deposit the fetus under a people tree doing what he her sister
saw. So her committing suicide in
grief and also found the fetus under the people tree.
She took the fetus Norwich team with the juices of the people
leave and live grieving Amrit or the nectar which the moon got
decided to drop onto the leaves of the tree.
Thus the fetus grew up into a baby boy.
Whom she named people, other after the people tree, where his
mother left him, people are the grew up to be India's most
revered Sage. Personal punishment is all about
this great salespeople Agra. Another interesting facts
friends, I wanted to share with you all our highest gallantry
medal is param, vir chakra or the will of the ultimate Brave.
It is an award which is granted for most conspicuous bravery in
the presence of enemy. If you look closely at the
middle which has a circular bronze disc for about 35, m, m
in diameter and on the front is the national emblem of India,
which is Is in the center on the race Circle and is surrounded by
four copies of vajra, the weapon of Indra.
This motive symbolizes the sacrifice of sage dadhichi who
gave his bones to the gods to make vajra to kill the demon
Richter. Isn't this an interesting story
and the start of today's episode As I told you in the beginning,
this episode is all about fresh. No pollution.
And it has total six questions or fresheners.
So keeping in mind, the total runtime of the podcast episode.
I have decided to divide this into two parts.
The first part of this series on shut the first pressure or six
questions, will cover the first three, questions and part 2 will
have the rest of it. Now, since you know, the
backstory of the sage, now let's listen to the story. 16 young,
Hermits named Sookie show, bharadwaja, whose descendant of
sage bharadwaja. Schreiber's Atacama grandson of
Surya, name's Ronnie Garcia from the line of gurga Australia.
A schwa vowel Iana, son of a schwa Weatherby bhargava from
the line of bhrigu born in vidarbha and kadam V, Katana
great-grandson of Katya, practiced and devoted.
Rama para was seeking Supreme Brahman, They Carried the
summit's or the sacrificial fire stick in approach.
The Great Sage people that these six men had lived their lives in
Austria, T's and contemplation for seeking the Supreme Brahman
their spiritual journey. I had hit a plateau and realized
that they were unable to know the complete truth about the
Supreme Brahman all by themselves.
So they decided that they would require a Or a teacher who can
teach them about the Supreme Brahman.
Thus, the decided to approach the Great River Stage as a
student. Before I continue with the
story. Let me clarify you in this
story. 30, cyber is a different person than sukta come a job.
Allah mentioned in chandogya upanishad, who story have
already narrated in one of my earlier episode.
If you have not listened to that story, please do listen to it.
Also friends. Do you know that the
significance of students seeking the nomination?
Knowledge, carrying the sacrificial fire, stick to a
teacher, you may have heard this insert a comma Java love story
when he approached the sage Gautama, the firewood sticks
would metaphorically, signified. The students commitment to the
sacrifices, he would make while taking the knowledge and
instructions from his teacher. Now, let's continue with the
story. The River Sage welcomed him
gladly and instructed them to stay with him in his Hermitage
for a complete year in complete shock.
Celibacy or brahmacharya during this time, they must practise.
Self-restraint, just Ste, and Faith.
After one year, they must ask their questions.
The six Hermits. Agreed to The Proposal.
Like obedient students, they agreed and followed the
instructions of their Guru. They practiced complete
self-restraint abstinence and Faith for complete one year.
After the year ended first column B Katana.
The great-grandson of Katya asked his question which was
eating him up with folded hands sat down at River stages feet
and asked his question. This was the first prisoner of
the prisoner punishment. Oh reverser kindly tell me where
did all the creatures in the world?
Come from where indeed? They do take their birth.
Reverse. A trip planned.
Prajapati, the Lord of All Creatures had desires of having
progeny in his previous life. He was a human, aspirant
meditating on property with the belief that I am prajapati
identified. With all that intense meditation
made him prajapati at the beginning of the prison cycle of
creation. Even then the believe that he's
projected, he persisted and he had still in his mind all The
Vedic knowledge acquired earlier.
So he used his past knowledge to create a cosmic egg or
hiranyagarbha after creating the cosmic egg, he created Rye the
matter, such as the moon and Prana, the energy, such as the
sun for Sun or the energy. Raise the food, which is the
Moon. All this but the food is formed
or gross or formless or subtle things which is wholly, distinct
is in D dry. That means rise.
Everything that has formed such as a body or formless such as a
mind prajapati created that year that is dependent on the couple
Sun and the Moon. The successively, he produced
and created half years months, fortnight's days and nights and
Other forms of matter does Prana and dry convey energy and matter
to create a new life. The matter must be infused with
energy just as a sperm in fuses and egg to create as I got,
which is an indication of a new life.
The Moon is simply a matter, but son is prone on the energy for
it is only when the Sun rises and illuminates, the whole world
is Twist, North and South everything becomes alive.
This is the day of prajapati or one culpa Friends, you must be
bit confused with what I just now said about prajapati or
Brahma as for Hinduism the universe in which we live in
stars with the origin of Brahma, it runs till brahmas life.
And after his death, another cycle starts with the creation
of the next. Brahma by Vishnu Brahma,
although arises from padmanabha Lotus, from the navel of visnu
and he's a swimmer who ourselves born The swimmer, who brahmas
life span extends 200 years? His one day consists of a day
and night during day Universe runs and during night everything
dissolves and nothing is left. While Vishnu goes to sleep on
his sheshnag Universe against ours on the second day at the
daytime. And this cycle goes on till
brahmas life. Span the daytime of Brahma Uh,
consists of duration of one, culpa and nighttime is also of
the same one culpa equals to 14. Maja Gunther has one maha-mantra
consists of 71. Maja yoga's, one Maha.
Yoga consists of four yuga's culture to yoga and they are in
ratio of four is to 3 is to 2 is to 1.
So kali-yuga whose age is is 1200 Divine years or for lack?
32,000 Many years, one Divine here is equal to 360 human ears.
Satya Yuga is four times of Kali Yuga that is 4800 Divine years
or 17 lakhs 28,000 human years Threatened yoga is three times
of Kali Yuga that is 3600 Divine years or 12 lakh. 96,000 human
ears. Dwapara Yuga is 2 times of Kali
Yuga that is 2400 Divine years or 8 lakh 64,000.
Human years one Maha yoga is 12,000 Divine years or forty
three. Lakhs 20,000 human ears.
One maha-mantra is 8 lakh, 52,000, Divine years or 30
crores, 67 lacks 20,000. Human years.
One day of Brahma equals to 2. Culpers that is two crows, 40
lakhs Divine years. So brahmas 100 years lifespan is
equal to eight kerub 64, Arab Divine years.
Or 300 11.04 trillion human ears.
Currently Brahma is in his 51st year of the first day.
So currently the ongoing collaboration with the culpa,
the ongoing manner Mantra is the seventh one called way worse
Water Management era. The current Maha yoga is 28 out
of 71 in which we are in Kaluga, which has been started in 3102,
BCE And 5,000 125 years have passed.
And as as per a D20 23 which has elapsed in Kaluga, a great shout
out for this information to swim.
It's reversed above from National Institute of Technology
shelter for the detailed information on Calpers.
That was a quite a bit of Matt's.
Anyway, hope you understood the context of prajapati of Brahma
in the current culpa so dear friends.
In my earlier, episode also, have explained the concept of
hidden a gerber and how to similar to the modern scientific
studies of origin of life from The Big Bang.
Scientists have discovered that the Universe has an oval shape
like the nine months of the evolution of human egg.
The cosmic egg also undergoes nine stages of evolution before
it gets dissolved, during what we call is Maha pralaya, the
concept of cosmic, egg is not only found in Indian Vedic
scripture but Also found in Egyptian, Babylonian pollination
and many other creation stories across the world.
In almost all these cases. This embryonic motive, emerges
out of Darkness, floating upon the Water of chaos.
And within this egg, typically resides the Divine being who
literally creates himself from nothing that is swayambhu just
like our Brahma or prajapati. This Creator then goes on to
form the The material Universe this x, nearly 0, or the
swayambhu Creator. Either uses the material within
the cosmic egg shell, or the substance of chaos to bring
shape and order to the world. This Cosmic egg has different
names across different cultures of the world such as Yuri gnomes
egg in Pulaski and culture diving, duck egg in Finnish
culture or much egg in Sebastian culture, rods World against
Slavic. Mythology pain goose egg in
Chinese culture. Egg of the Sun, God Ra in
ancient Egyptian culture and many more.
Sage people are the concluded. The answer by saying the sun is
both Prana of the universe and virtual Nara that is the spark
of life in every creature. And then it decided the Mantra
which were rupam. Hurry Nam Jonathan, Wade, has
some Pariah yanam Joe tirra. Come top and bottom, sahastrara
Rashi Maja Chateau de Guatemala Rana Rana.
Which means the one that is possessed of all firms, full of
raised and out with elimination. The resort of all the single
light of all the radiator of heat, it is the Sun that rises
the sun deck, possesses thousand Rays exist in 100 forms and the
life of All Creatures. Then the sage continued in the
cycle of man's life, there are two parts present before him to
take the northern and the southern.
In part those who perform rituals and sacrifices perform
acts of charity, for the selfish ends not recognizing the essence
of The Prana. In those rituals are bogged down
by Ray. And take the southern route,
they returned to the materialistic world, the world
of Rye again and again and again, but those who seek true
knowledge, practice chassis key and self-restraint, Keeping the
Faith. With this.
So with Prana along with the northern route and gained
rhythms of The Fearless Radiance and eternal Source of Life
breath and never return to the material world.
People are the concluded his response of for the first
question and blessed God imbue Katana his response to.
The first question made whether be bhargava from the line of
bhrigu, inquisitive. He asked his question to the
reward, girl, this is the second question of Krishna upanishad
over narrable. One, how many?
In fact other deities that sustained a creature which of
them make a being alive to everything around itself.
And which of them is the greatest.
People are the patiently listened to wedge her.
Be her go was questioned and responded rear bar cover.
The body is made of five elements or punch, a boot space
Earth, Fire Water and Air. These are the gods which
actually support the body unquestionably, all these hold
up the body together by not allowing to disintegrate these
five elements. Ants are the material causes of
the body mouth. Mind I ears are the organs of
action and knowledge. They are the gods and preside
over these and identified themselves with the body and
organs, just like pillars of a palace, these organs, hold
together, this aggregate of body and organs and doesn't allow it
to disintegrate. Then people are the narrative,
an account about the different organs and their greatness.
He began by saying as Appeared in the body.
Each one of them posted each of these organs believe that they
are solely responsible for holding up the aggregate body.
Once each one of them had spoken, Prana, or the life,
breath spoke, do not fall into delusion, do not change this way
any vanity resulting from non-discrimination.
For it is I who sustain this aggregate body organs by not
allowing it to disintegrate. Great.
Bunch of ha Armand. Improvi bhajiya, I supported by
providing myself fivefold by dividing my functions into those
of the outgoing breath. However, still other organs
thought and remained incredulous and thinking, how this can be
Prana said, I'll show you all. He appeared to be rising up from
the body towards Brahma and the passage at the top of the Head
through which the life enters and leaves the body, as The
Prana ascended all others without exception immediately
ascended and when it stopped it remained quite and all others to
remained in their position. Just like a queen bee takes
charges of her swarm, all other organs, realize their mistake.
They cried Mercy. You are the greatest.
They all cried pressing. Anna.
We believe you now when Prana lives we all have to leave.
No other organs can exist. Without preneur the life breath.
Just to elaborate a bit on this point whenever the breath or
Prana leaves the body. All other organs such as mouth
cannot speak. Eyes cannot see ears cannot hear
brain. Cannot think tongue cannot taste
and the nose cannot smell everything becomes lifeless.
What remains is Rye or the matter as the body?
Is made of five elements. All the organs praised Branham
by reciting this him, issues Niche, or topic.
Yes, sir Surya Asia, Virginia. Mahaganesha why you Asia
prithvi? Riley Deva saju Freedom, Joy 80,
which means this Prana, in the form of fire burns.
Similarly, he shines as the sun also has the cloud, He reigns.
Moreover, as Indra, he protects The creatures and Endeavor to
kill the demons. This one is the are Diversified
into different currents like our and Brava.
Furthermore, this God is the earth and the matter Ray or the
whole world gross and subtle tact, which is the nectar that
ensures the systems of the Gods, like the spokes of the Hub of
The Chariot will all are fixed on Prana.
It is you who move about in the womb?
Of the mother as the Lord of creation.
It is who you take birth. Oh Prana.
It is you who decide with the organs?
You are the best transmitter of the celestial.
You are the food offering to the mains that precedes other
offerings. You are the right conduct of the
organs that constitute essence of the body which are known as a
term. Has no Prana.
You are Indra. You are to your Valor.
You are rudra. If you are the preserver on all
sides, you move in the sky, you are the son, the Lord of
luminaries. Oh, Prana.
When you pour down as rain, then these creatures of yours are
happy. As they know the foods will be
produced. Oh Prana!
You are unpurified you the fire, accursed the eater and you are
the Lord of all that exists. We are the givers of food.
Omuty receiver or are You are our father.
Please do not extend any further of Prana.
We all will be lifeless if you ascend or leave.
Everything in this world is also everything.
In the heaven is under the control of Prana.
Protect us just as the mother protects her children and Odin
us for splendor and intelligence.
As soon as people at the concluded, his second response,
inquisitive caution layer as mallanna asked his question.
This was the third question to the Great Sage.
He asked, oh, venerable one from where is Branagh?
Born? How does he come into the body?
How does he do well by dividing himself?
How does he depart? How does he support?
The external and physical things.
A Great Sage replied to him. Oh, dear kaushalya.
Here you are asking me many questions together, since you
are a true seeker of Brahman. I will answer you.
Then the sage continued, his response Prana is born from the
cell for Atman just like a shadow is always fixed with the
person and is inseparable, Prana is always fixed with acma, not
the self and is inseparable both entered, the body together
through the path created by the mind for the Mind.
Remembers the unfulfilled desires from the You slaves and
the needs Prana to bring a live, a new body.
So that those desires may be fulfilled in his life, as it is
the King Alone. Who employs the officers to rule
over different places, piranhas, engages other organs separately
in different activities, such as eyes, foresight years for
hearing. And so on, once inside the
pranab splits, creating for other types of breath such as
appanna Oda. Hannah were Hannah and Semana,
he places appanna on the downward breath, in the two
lower aperture, that is the organs of excretion and
reproduction, so that they can work as per their function in
the middle. At the navel area, he places the
Semana, the bread that stabilizes and working that
Bellows, that keep the fire of digestion burning steadily.
And well, we're not the bread that travels is the distributor
of energy carrying Along with the network of 101 main nerves
to the hurt, where the self or the Atman duel, each one of them
has hundred divisions. Each branch is divided into 72,
thousands of branches, the sub branches and branches of nerves,
take the sustaining and nourishing energies, that Semana
creates from the food into the remotest reaches of the body.
Rising up from through one of the channels, who Donna Donna
Upward breath which moves from the sole of the feet to the
Head. This leads to The Virtuous world
as the result of virtue to the sinful world, as a result of sin
to the human world, as a result of both virtue and vice.
This is the way that Prana supposed life in the body, then
the sage paused and continued his response.
Again, dear caution earlier outside the body sun, which when
rise has awakened the prawn In every eye, it is the plan of the
universe Earth, which pulls everything towards it is indeed
appanna, the downward Force, the space is in the middle between
the Earth and the sky is the Samana, which is the stabilizer
and the air and the wind which moves within this space and
travels through it is way on a which is the distributor, the
fire is indeed. Oh Donna, the upward force and
always reaching for the higher realms.
And when the fire of life is extinguished, mind draws the
senses back into itself, then together with Prana aided by Oh
Donna it's readies for rebirth or move to a higher realm.
So dear kaushal, the true no or of Brahman, no Prana.
How it is. Born how it enters the body,
where is five elements? Manifest both in the body and
outside of it how it is related to othman and to dub Ramen
House. They become in more true
friends. Those were the first three
questions with Chasm. Mccarten Weatherby bhargava and
kaushalya asked to Sage people under the questions ranged from
origins of life, to the most important on the greatest power
of all living things and the origin of Prana or the life
breath. Hope you have learned something
new from this episode. Today, I'll continue with the
next three questions from the Press nopony.
