"I am the stimulator of the tree of Universe"

-

1.When we get more and more acquainted with the entire Vedik literature, the scriptural connotation in which the term 'tree' is used becomes clear.

 

 

2. In ancient Bharatham ( Even today in certain parts of Bharatham ) worship of  plants and trees are common, examples: Banyan tree, Pupil tree, Neem tree, Koovala tree, Tulasi, Lotus, Thechi, Pitchakam, Mantaram, Turmeric and so on.....

 

 

3. It is the tradition of Hindu thought from  the early days of Vedas to consider the entire Universe in the form of a tree.  

 

 

4. This is mentioned in all Upanishads, Srimad Bhagavadgeeta, and other texts also.....

 

5. The finite world of plurality is conceived of as an Asvattha tree because a banyan tree, can be considered relatively immortal due its long days of existence, 

 

 

6. again, there is no single tree which can be otherwise quoted which has such a large number of branches and leaves which are ever in a state of agitation, with so many adventitious roots hanging from its branches, touch the earth and fix them underneath, forming pillars of support.

 

 

7.  Next : Asvattha : Sva means 'tomorrow', Ttha means 'existence, hence Svattha means 'that which exists tomorrow also', when the negative sense 'Á' ie prefixed it becomes Asvattha, meaning, 'that which will not exist tomorrow'---- that which is finite.

 

 

8. This tree of Universe, representing in itself the entire world of objects, is vitalised by the eternal, all-pervading Consciousness.

 

 

9.  'I'the Pure Self, the Conscious Principle, the Infinite Reality, is the Stimulator in the entire Tree of Universe; 'I am' the sap of Life, wherever it is manifested, from the lowest to the highest.

 

10. Thus "I am the stimulator of the tree of Universe."    

 

 

Taittiriya Upanishad: Chapter-1 ( Siksha Valli), Section-10 ( Sacred recitation of Rishi Trisanku after realisation), Mantram-1.

Opinion 18/11/2015 104.  Sub : Beware  of  Spiritual  Gods ( Human ) :  Ref :  Bharatham is  full  of  pseudo  religious  guru-s,  starting  with  priests  of  Temple, Church  and  Mosque  All Members,  Respected family members of this great holy Nation. Part-4. A. 1. No  living  Master  who  breathes  and  eats,  and  recognizes  a  world  to  function  in,  can  ever  claim  that  he  is  God. 2. Members  and my  brothers  and  sisters,  don't  be  deceived. 3. Having  seen  a  God  you  will  not  live  to  declare  it;  4. a  salt-doll  went  into  the  sea  to  measure  its  depth  and  it  could  not  come  back  to  declare  its  discovery! 5. The  individual  having  had  the  God-experience  will  not  come  to  declare  that  the  Almighty  and  the  All-pervading  Truth  is  the  limited,  mortal,  finite  structure  of  the  reacher. 6. Once  having  seen  the  Ocean  no  one  can  misunderstand  a  lake  or  a  pond,  however  vast  it  may  be,  to  be  the

Chinmaya Mission: Sevika Sarika Pherwani’s Bala vihar performed the Paduka Puja at Dosti Erica, wadala.  We received an enthusiastic response from children who attended it with their Parents/grand parents.   Sevika Dimple Parekh assisted in conducting this and it was well received by the Parents ================================================================ 1.#Opinion : Thursday, 14 Dec 05:30. 3363. // Article Philosophy 1.#On Reason and Higher Life - 1.Swami Krishnananda./// ================================================================ First of all, it has to be remembered that reason is not everything, and it is futile to work up an apotheosis of reason. This itself is contrary to reason, and it is a prejudiced faith of the human mind which makes it imagine that reason is all. You ask, 'On what is faith based?', but I ask, 'On what is reason based?' 'Who told you that reason itself is reasonable?' Don't you think that this itself is a faith that you h

In reality, personality issomething more than this. It includes a man’s character, intelligence, noble qualities,moral conduct, intellectual attainments, certain striking faculties, special traits orcharacteristics, sweet powerful voice, etc. All these things put together constitute thepersonality of Mr. So and so. The sum total of all these things makes up the personalityof a man. Mere physical characteristics cannot make up the personality. What you call an umbrella is really
