CHINMAYA SHIVAM

Fire plays a very important role in Sanatana Dharma. How should a ritualist, a yogi and a meditator use fire in their Sadhana? How is Fire connected to the Self is explained in these mantras. The Sun rises and sets from the Supreme Self and so do all the phenomenal forces. One generally forgets the source and the cause. These Mantras remind us that we are not just effects or Jivas but the Supreme Cause in essence.
