“The Mind is adored in the Vēdas as Rudra. The Mind contacts the objective world and experiences it through the instrumentality of the five senses. This aspect of the Mind is the Indra aspect. It has also another capability. It can master the senses and become aware of the Universal Inner Truth of the multiplicity called the Objective world. This aspect of the Mind is designated as Rudra. This is the reason why the Vedas describe Indra and Rudra as the One with two names.” - Baba

–   The Rudram-namakam starts with apprehension. We prostrate down before Rudra, His powers and His ‘manyu’ (‘projected anger’ seen as anticipated large-scale destruction).

–   It prays to lessen the intensity of Rudra’s ‘manyu’.

–   Such a powerful force cannot be wished away by prayer, so it prays for the transformation of His ‘manyu’.

–   The prayer transforms the ‘manyu’ into protective and blessing energies. In doing so, one learns the lesson of ‘Love in action as non-violence’. For this, one forgoes the mental and physical violence in oneself and radiates peaceful, loving non-violence.

–   One experiences that radiating this love-non-violence-peace mantra-vibration is the only way to avert calamities; and thus spreads the ‘non-violence’ emotion and love&peace-vibration to the entire Planet.

–   At the end, one surrenders one’s entire being with all ten indrīyas to Rudra who is omnipresent. One casts away the last traces of inimical propensities into the jaws of the very same manyu and thus obtain fearlessness from the anticipated future catastrophes.

–  The additional tryambakam mantras pray for sound health and freedom from disease.
