agrahyah sasvato krsno
lohitaksah pratardanah
prabhurastrikakubdhama
pavitram mangalam param
iiiiiiWord Meaning:
*(Agrtihyah) *= cannot be comprehended
, ,
*(Stisvatah) *= eternal
*(Kr~1Jah) *= darkness divine
*(Lohittiksah) *= having red eyes
*(Pratardanah) *= One who withstands
*(Prabhutah) *= well-formed
*(Trikakub) *= having three names
*(Dhtima) *= the path of light
*(Pavitram) *= purity
*(Mangalam) *= auspiciousness
*(Param) *= the highest.
MEANING:
*Invoke the Lord as beyond comprehension and as eternal the darkness
impregnable (mystery). He is the one with red eyes and he is all-
resistent.
He is well-formed into the various **manifestations and has three
names. He
is the path of light and **purity of all pure things. He is the
highest
concept of auspiciousness.*
Explanation:
. Comprehension is through the mind and senses. Since God is all and
the
mind is only a pattern which forms a minute particle of the whole it
cannot
comprehend what God is. One can experience God by the process of
becoming
and being and not by thinking and understanding.
2. Since God stands as the background of all that is changing he is
unchanged and hence eternal.
3. What we call darkness is darkness to the mechanism of senses and
mind. To
itself it is no darkness but is the great light of existence. It is
the
greatest of all mysteries to the one in the capacity of an objective
observer. To the one who submits his I AM to the Lord he is the I AM.
The
\iueness of the sky is only as it appears and it is not true in
itself.
Hence it is taken as a similie to the colour of the Lord. Lord Krishna
is
described as having the body of deep blue colour.
4. The colour of the sunrise and sunset are symbols of the emerging
and the
merging of the individual consciousness. The white light and the
spectrum
thereof are only the limitations or the range of visibility to the
human
eye. What we call darkness is the totality of the real light. From
the
darkness which is real light, the spectrum becomes visible, when the
demarkation manifests as the red colour.
5. God is the background of all other things that survive in the
process of
their becoming or being created. Hence, the backgtound is the only
thing
that resists all the changes and stands as it is, amidst and beyond
the
changes.
6. Everything from the atom to the solar system depends upon form,
both
physical and subtle. We find in this creation everything well-formed
in its
own shape that keeps its own identity. This power is due to the
presence of
the awareness of the Lord.
7. God is described as having three names which are vortices of
existence.
The three planes physical, vital and spiritual are the three vortices
which
contain the whole creation as the body of the Lord.
8. Before everything is created there is space. Space is the light
that
spreads as the first presence. It also forms the path of the Lord
descending
into the beings of creation. Inversely it also forms the path from
the
created individual to the Lord when retraced.
9. Purity is a relative term. Something is purer than another thing
which is
filthy. The wholelayers of realisation. When the individual grows
aware of each new layer,
the previous one is relatively impure to him unless he enlightens it
and
fills it with the presence of the newly experienced layer. This
process
continues until the individual finds no further layers than himself
This is
what we call God and hence, He is the purest of all purities.
10. People understand something good desirable and auspicious
according to
their own understanding and limitation. One may think financial gain
as
auspicious, another may think that the day of child birth is
auspicious.
These concepts carry only their concept of auspiciousness bur not
real
auspiciousness or good. Real good is only the plan of the Lord which
lies in
the ultimate fitness of things and the individual following it.
11. The highest of auspiciousness is comprehended and experienced when
the
individual finds his fitness into the plan of Lord. There is no higher
state
of being than this.
