MANTRAPUSHPAM

In Narayana Sukta there are thirteen mantras. The first mantra commencing with “Sahasra Sreesam Devam Visvaksham Viswa smabhu vam” and continues to the thirteenth mantra is Rtagam Satyam param Brahma purusam krsna pingalam, Urdhvaretam Virupaksham Visvaroopaya Vai Namo Namah”. The Santi patha will be started with OM Sahana Vavatu and after the thirteenth mantra with Vasudeva Gayatri OM Narayanaya Vidmahe Vasudevaya Dheemahi| Tanno Vishhnuhu pracodhayat ||

The above thirteen Narayana sutra mantras are contained in the mantra puspam only. In other words Narayana Sukta is Mantra puspam only. There are additions and subtractions also in certain texts of Mantra puspam.

The present Mantra puspam presented here, is now, in regular practice in temples and rituals.

The universe is divinised. The effulgent with many heads and eyes, produced of Joy, master and cause of humanity, the imperishable, the Surpassing ruler and saviour, the endless omniform, the goal of humanity, the destroyer of sin and ignorance, the protector of the universe and the ruler of the protector, and the governor of the human souls, the unchanging, the supremely auspicious, the super light, the infinite, the hightest self, the one pervaded in and out, the limitless, the all knowing the resider in Ether, comparable to the inverted lotus bud located above Naval region resides at the space called susumna. The great fire consuming the food given, permeating the entire body, projecting as a slender, paddy grain appearing as Brahma, Siva, Visnu, and Indra, dwelling amidst the fire, the self luminous pure super consciousness is “Narayana”.

In Gayatri Hrdayam the entire creation is ascribed to water in the Avantara Srusti and at the time of dissolution (pralaya) all life and plankton originates from waters only. Water is the basis from which other elements have originated. He who knows all about water deemed to know every thing.

Aditya Hrdayam speaks about cosmos and Logos. The Sun is responsible for creation, sustenance and dissolution. He is described as Brahma, Visnu, Siva & Indra.

Gayatri upanishat states that Aditya (sun God) is masculine and its female form is Savitri (femine gender). The mind Savita and speech (vak) is Savitri. Mind is speech and speech is mind. They look apparently different (two yonis) but are only one, (Mithuna) 2. Like wise Agni (Fire) is Sun (Savita is Aditya) and earth is Savitri. Fire is pridhvi and pridhvi is Agni (Fire). 3. Vayu (Air) is Savita (Sun)., the cosmos (astral plane) is Savitri. Astral plane and Vayu are one only. 4. Aditya is Savita and dyuloka (celestial world) is Savitri (two yonis). But the Sun and the celestial world, the celestial world and the Sun are one only. 5. Candra (moon) and Savita (Sun) and the other stars (Narkshatras) and Savitri are two yonis but stars and candra and candra and stars are one only. 6. Day is Savita (Surya), Night is Savitri (two yonis) but Night and day, day and night are only one. 7. Heat is Savita (Sun), cold is Savirti. Heat and cold and cold and heat are only one. 8. Cloud is Sun (Savita) Rain is Savitri look as different. Cloud is rain and rains means cloud. Both are one. 9. Electricity (vidyut) is Savita, lightening is Savitri (two yonis). Electricity is light and light is electricity. Both are one. 10. Life (prana) is Savita (sun), food is Savitri (two yonis) but prana – food, food and prana are one and the same. If prana has to sustain one must have food and when food is there prana can be sustained.

Mind in prana, prana in food, food on the earth, Earth in the water, water in the light and the light in Air (Vayu) and Air in the space (Akasa) and in the end Akasa rests in Brahma.

Brahma depends in Brahma Vetta and Brahmavetta in Brahmana (Mantra).

He whoever possess this Brahma Jnana will get punya and Keerti. He will be absolved of all sins and will be blessed with sumptuous and abundant pleasures.

This is very well elaborated in the sacred Mantras of mantra puspam.
