Prajapati Vishva Aashram Foundation (PVAF)
on the eve of new year vikRm svNt 2060
has the following knowledge in the form of greetings and wishes to share with
the rest of the humanity rather than the traditional greetings and wishes for
prosperity and happiness in the new year. This sharing is in the belief that
knowledge of veD = SCIENCES OF CREATIONS AND
LIFE will give each one of us the prosperity and happiness we are
searching for:
vshiSH`TH-muni once asked
shivji:
"bhgvaan, I pray to you to enlighten
me about the method of worshipping pRbhu
(the creator and sustainer of the universe) and who destroys all
paap (sins) and promotes
kl`yaan (welfare, well-being, prosperity
and progress)"
shivji replied:
"Do you know who
pRbhu
is?
pRbhu is not
vishnu, or me shiv or bRHmaa;
pRbhu is not
vaayu
(deity presiding over the power of wind)
pRbhu is not
suARy
(deity presiding over the power of sun)
or
chNDRRmaa
(deity presiding over the power of moon);
pRbhu
is not bRaaHmAN
(creation with knowledge of veD
and who practices and experiences veD in
daily living)
pRbhu
is not a raajaa
(a king who has
been ordained by creator to be a king with veD
knowledge and who lives by the rules of DHARm);
pRbhu
is not I or you;
pRbhu
is not lKSHmi
(deity who presides over the prosperity of
creations);
pRbhu
is not mns
(the mental faculty which processes information
gathered by senses in a creation and empowers the creation to evaluate what is
right and wrong and based on the evaluation impel the body of the creation to
perform kARm);
pRbhu
is without form and undivided;
pRbhu
is the
daevnM
which is not made
and
which has neither beginning or end
and
which is known as pRbhu
and
which is pure
chaeetn`y.
(daevnM
means beauty, splendor and lustre of the creator which creates desire to excel
or play or gamble or praise or move or lament or grieve...) chaeetn`y is the
shk`ti of pRbhu
in which all manifestations in the form of creation exists and which provides
the power for each creation to perform its designated voluntary and
involuntary kARm in the form of
manifestation of the wish of pRbhu to be
many and not to be alone.)
THAT
(pRbhu)
alone is to be worshipped
and
THAT (pRbhu)
alone is all"
The above is from vshiSH`TH yog
(6.1.29) which is the sharing of veD
knowledge by vshiSH`TH-muni with
SRii raam when
SRii raam was about 14 years old.
vsiSH`TH-muni tells SRii raam
that this veD knowledge he is sharing with
SRii raam and others was transmitted
to him by his father bRHmaa, who is
the creator of each universe and everything in each universe. The above text
from original sNskrut text translated
into English by Swami Venkateshananda. The translated text has been
expanded with supplementary text to facilitate expansion of understanding
without corrupting the original meaning. A glossary of
sNskrut words, which are in italics, is also included in
bracket for empowering the full understanding of the sNskrut words
in the original veD knowledge.....
In the days to come the above reply from shivji will be continued in
TODAY'S VED LESSON page on this PVAF web site to empower YOU to
achieve the prosperity and happiness YOU are seeking in YOUR life....Please
