Jaya Guru Datta
The following is an explanation of the Sri Ganapathi Sachchidananda Swamiji's
composition, "Celestial Message" on the cd of the same name. It is the intro to
the video of
the same name as well.
I failed to mention that along with the music cd's, Dattapeetham has produced
some
beautiful, and mind staggering videos.
Sri Guru Datta
Hanuman
Sri Ganapathi Sachchidananda Swamiji
Nada Brahma Divine Musician Incarnate
Sound is the source of all Creation. This sound has originated from Brahman and
is
indicated by the Pranava. This sound is known by all mantras as OM. It lies
hidden in the
worshippers of the indivisible and unparalleled SAT-CHIT-ANANDA.
That energy, which in essence is PARA-BRAHMA devoid of all attributes and as
AKASHA, is
considered to be the entrance to Brahman with attributes. As declared by the
Vedas,
AKASHAAT VAAYUH, Vaayuh emerges from AKASHA as the vital principle. According
to the
Vedic statement AATMA VAI VAAYUH, it can be construed that Vaayuh is Atman.
Single
pointedness of mind is also of the nature of Vaayuh. Vaayuh the life of the
vital energy
which is of the form of the seven Mystical utterances, kindles the driving NADO
UPASANA
and renders nature brilliant with Raagas.
According to the vedic statement VAAYORGH AGNIH, movement of Vaayuh assumes the
form of fire.
Among the means to attain uninterrupted SAT-CHIT-ANANDA by the entire
universe of
moving and non-moving beings, Vedic Smamagana is the foremost. It is by this
that the
science of music consisting of the 12 chakras and 72 Melakartas has taken form.
VAM (vum)- is the seed letter of the Indu Chakra, which is the first, and
has water as its
main essence. This letter is nectarean in nature. VAARUNI is its Deity.
Ratnangi is the
second melakarta raga belonging to the Indu Chakra. REVATHI is one of the Janya
ragas
belonging to this chakra.
RAM (rum)Ð is the seed letter of this raga. Sri Swamiji used to remark,
that as Fire is
the deity of this raga, it is fiery in nature.
The present song Kalathreya Bodditham Brahma Brahma is born of the
indivisible
SAT-CHIT-ANANDA eulogizing Brahman unconditioned by Time, Space, Matter.
When rendered in the morning tune, this opens the eye of wisdom and
reveals the
splendor of the Self, of which fire is the essence. The transcendental
self-luminous light
which cannot be split as PRARABDHA-SANCHITA-AAGAMI, as past, present, or
future, as
dawn, noon, or dusk, as day or night, or as VATSARA,
PARIVATSARA, IDAVATSARA, VARIVATSARAÑthat is Brahman alone.
It is sinless and matchless and shines peerlessly and is beyond Doubt.
The Vedic
statement, GUHATHRENI NIHITA NENGAYANTI- TURYAM VACHO MANUSHYA VADANTI-
which is the inner core of the four states of sound namely, PARA, PASHYANTI,
MADYHAMA, VAIKHARI, indicates the ever full Turya, that is Brahman itself.
That Brahman alone is ISHWARA, that Brahman alone is VISHNU, that
Brahman alone
is PARAMESHWARA, the principle transcending Maya.
It is beyond the knowledge of the perceptible world. That alone is the
ever-perfect
Brahman. It is subtler than the subtlest atom. Brahman is greater than the
endless
universes containing the planets, the stars and the brilliant galaxies.
It is the self Effulgent Light and cannot be expressed by speech. Mind
cannot
conceive it; intellect cannot determine it.
Being of the nature of Light, reveling in itself, having as its inner
essence the energy
of Vaayuh, dwelling in the Atman, being the Paramatma beyond the combined power
that
aids the UPAASAKA in acquiring unbroken knowledge of the Brahman, the entire
world of
Cognized, Expressed, and the Expression is Brahman alone.
It is the sinless and unknowable Brahman, whose characteristic is
Supreme Bliss, that
is attained by contemplating on the Mahavakyas constituting the essence of the
great
Upanishads.
That alone is true resolve, and true desire. That self perfect
expansive brilliance alone
is pure Brahman. That alone is the whole, the all-pervading and the
unconditioned
Brahman. That is Hari. That is Pranava. That alone is of the nature of
Existence Absolute.
Parmapoojya Sri Swamiji, who has been ordained by his mother, Matha
Shri
Jayalakshmi to propagate Dharma, sang this composition in a state of Sahaja
Samadhi in a
recording studio in Germany.
We now going to witness a somewhat similar situation in this film which has
been shot at
Mekadatu, the birthplace of Swamiji, and the place of confluence of three
rivers- Cauvery,
Arkavati, Gupta Gamini.
Listening to this raga Revathi, which has its origin in a raga in the Melakarta
belonging to
the Indu Chakra relieves diseases caused by fluid imbalance, lung diseases,
weak gastric
fire and other chronic ailments. It tones up the heart and thereby regularizes
blood
circulation.
It also relieves nervous disorders, vitalizes fourteen Nadis and normalizes
secretions and
enhances mental capacity.
Contemplating the hidden meaning of this composition relieves mental fatigue,
irritability
and is known to pep up vital energy.
