"Anna he purna brahman" - Food is Brahman


Listen Later

In Taittariya Upanishad, Bhrigu approached his father Varuna and asked him to teach about Brahman. His father replied “That from which these beings are born, That by which having taken birth they live, That into which they merge—seek to know That. That is Brahman.” After reflecting on this Bhrigu realised that “food is Brahman”; because from food, all beings are born; by food, when born they live and into food they merge after death. Thus, Bhrigu’s inquiry started from food. As his mind became subtle by austerities he discovered there is lot more to learn and ultimately He realised his own nature to be Brahman.

Thus a simple sadhana of remembering Lord’s name while taking food can take us from “Annam” to “Brahman”.
