Dear All,
Now, about the sequence of creation!
Rig Veda 10.190.1
रतं च सत्यं चाभीद्धात
तपसो.अध्यजायत |
ततोरात्र्यजायत ततः
समुद्रो अर्णवः ||
ṛtaṃ ca satyaṃ cābhīddhāt tapaso.adhyajāyata |
tatorātryajāyata tataḥ samudro arṇavaḥ ||
From the heart of AUM came Truth and from that
Truth, the entire world emerged in its majestic glory
Rig Veda 10.190.2
समुद्रादर्णवादधि
संवत्सरो अजायत |
अहोरात्राणिविदधद
विश्वस्य मिषतो वशी ||
samudrādarṇavādadhi saṃvatsaro ajāyata |
ahorātrāṇividadhad viśvasya miṣato vaśī ||
From this universe of Ocean came Time, the Lord
of every moment, ordaining nights and days.
Rig Veda 10.190.3
सूर्याचन्द्रमसौ
धाता यथापूर्वमकल्पयत |
दिवं चप्र्थिवीं
चान्तरिक्षमथो सवः ||
sūryācandramasau dhātā yathāpūrvamakalpayat |
divaṃ capṛthivīṃ cāntarikṣamatho svaḥ ||
Then, as before, the Creator fashioned the sun,
the moon, the heaven and the earth… Immediately mountains rose up,
immediately rivers started running, earth below and sky over its head… ocean, seas,
lands and water sheds… sun, moon and desert sands sprang up from nowhere…
Aitreya Upanishad 1.2

Atharva Veda 12.1
सत्यं बृहदृतमुग्रं दीक्षा तपो ब्रह्म यज्ञः पृथिवीं धारयन्ति ।
सा नो भूतस्य भव्यस्य पत्न्युरुं लोकं पृथिवी नः कृणोतु ॥१॥

High Truth, Unyielding order, consecration, order,
prayer, and holy ritual upholding earth… May She the eternal Mother of what has
been and what will come to be… for us… spread wide in limitless domain
To prove God’s existence came all forms, beasts and birds flying, human beings, mankind, speaking, hearing and all powers were bestowed upon them, as per God’s order.

God (Brahman), too, is all these creatures, that
exist, move on this earth or fly above.
Aitreya Upanishad 3.1.3

The essence of all beings is consciousness.
Consciousness is Brahman. The first place was granted to Mankind. God planted
His knowledge in the minds of Man.

It is only through knowledge of the divine
that liberation can be attained.

May
all the virtues cited in the Upanishads reside in me. Let me be perfect, may I
never deny God (Brahman) and may He never deny me.
Come one, come all, let us not be called
ungrateful. Let us faithfully serve Him.
And...... Love Him, Love Him, Love Him!
Dear ones,
After going through the previous post and this
post, how wonderful will it be to actually listen and also see and witness
these posts?
Let us spend 11 minutes of our precious time, with a peaceful, quiet mind, fresh after the morning bath, seated before the Lord in our puja room at home and watch this unique video.
(This film was created by Gene Massey and
currently plays daily to over three thousand people at the Chaitanya Jyoti
Millennium Museum at Prasanthi Nilayam, Puttaparthi, India)
Love.
