  • namah sūryāya candrāya

    This is navagrahanamana.

    In this ślōkam, the namah (manah) is for sūrya, candra, mangala, budha, guru, śukra, śani, rāhu and kētu.

    They are the kārakas for the Self, Mind, Conflict, Learning, Wisdom, Comfort, Work, Illusion and Freedom, in that order, respectively.

    Some Notes.

    A graha is any celestial body or point with a gravitational (or other) grip. It derives from gR to grasp or hold.

    A chāya graha or a shadowy graha has some effects, often related to it’s location. The two mentioned in this ślōkam are the moon’s nodes, rāhu and kētu. These are described with mathematical accuracy in the surya siddhanta of maya dānava for astronomers, as well as other astrological siddhāntās and vēdānga jyotiša. They are imaginatively described in various purāńas in an encoded format, for lay people. Since the chāya grahas are related to eclipses and alignments, their effects are experienced differently.

  • Iśā vāsya upanišad

    This upanišad contains the mahāvakyam so-ahamasmi.

    It is both a vēda and an upanišad.

    You can also buy my eBook or Print Book on Pothi.com Is’A vAsya upaniSad (Isa Upanishad)

    EXCERPT :

    Peace Invocation : s’Anti mantram

    • AUM pUrNamadah pUrNamidam pUrNat pUrNamudacyatE |
    • pUrNasya pUrNamAdAya pUrNamEvAvas’iSyatE.||0||
    • AUM s’Antih, s’Antih, s’Antih.

      • Every Upanishad begins with an invocation for inner peace. We do not wish to be disturbed by causes internal, external or divine.

      Aum – is the divine sound and represents the brahman.

      purnam adah – that is complete

      purnam idam – this is complete

      purnat purnamudachyate – completeness arises from completeness

      purnasya purnamadaya – having taken completeness from completeness

      purnameva avasishyate – only completeness remains.

      AUM, this is complete and that is complete. From completeness, completeness arises.

      Having taken the completeness of completeness, only completeness remains.

      What do the words this and that refer to?

      ‘This’ is all that we see. ‘That’ is the Brahman, the great, the divine, the perfect.

      All ‘this’ came from ‘that’.

      From perfection – only perfection can arise.
      That means that all that we see is also perfect. It is also complete.

      We normally think that when you take something out of something else there is less of the original stuff to go around. However when you look at the infinity concept in mathematics you can see that subtracting infinity from infinity leaves infinity.

      Similarly when a perfect world emerges from a perfect being, or a complete world is taken from a complete being, the original being is still perfect and complete.

      When a perfect child is born of a perfect mother, the mother is still perfect and complete.

      If you look at the world around you and look at it as imperfect and incomplete – you will not have inner peace or santhi.

      Without inner peace you cannot think, contemplate or meditate and understand the truth.

      So first let us accept that the world around us is pURNa since it comes from that perfect complete divine Brahman. And perfection can only give rise to perfection.

    • sūryāšTakam – śiva prōktam

      These 8 slōkas which offer namah (manah) to the Sun, sūrya, were spoken by śiva.

      At the end there is a phalaśRti. This tells of the fruit of constantly (daily) chanting the suryashtakam.

      • The chanter will not have disease, sorrow or poverty. All the pain due to grahas will be destroyed. One without sons will beget sons. A poor man will become wealthy.
      • It also states that there are also negative consequences of some actions – a person who eats meat or drinks alcohol on Sundays will be ill for seven lifetimes and be poor, birth after birth.
      • Whereas a person who practices celibacy, gives up oil (massage?), alcohol and meat on Sundays, will not fall ill and will not be poor or sorrowful. He will go to the sūryalōka (after death).

        • The essence is that if someone practices austerities on Sunday, and worships the Sun daily, they will have children, wealth, good health and happiness.

      • yā dēvī

        That dēvī, who is well-established, in all the lōkas (worlds) and in all beings,

        for her namah, for her namah, for her namah, namah, namah.

        There are many variants of this ślōkam. I have often prescribed this stuti to people who show effects of rāhu’s illusory influence. And they have reported good relief.

        This s’lōka is an offering.

        namah is variously translated. Two of my favorite translations are na mama (not mine) and manah (using yāskas’s rule of reversal).

        So the essence would be, “My manas (mind) is for Her who is in everything.”

        Or, ” Not mine, but for Her who is in everything. “

            सिद्धलक्ष्मीर्मोक्षलक्ष्मीर्जयलक्ष्मीस्सरस्वतीश्रीलक्ष्मीर्वरलक्ष्मीश्र्च प्रसन्ना मम सर्वदा ||

            siddha-lakshmīh, mōksha-lakshmīh, jaya-lakshmīh, saraswatī, śrī-lakshmīh, vara-lakshmīh, ca, prasannā, mama, sarvadā.

            There is a variant which says suprasannā bhava sarvadā.

            The essence is – my Lakshmi should always be pleased.
