Shruthi Geetha -1

Bhraman Bhramanya Nirdheshye Nirgune  Gunavrithhaya: | Katham Charanthi Shruthaya: Sakshath Sadhsatha Para: ||

King Pareekshith speaks “ Oh! Bhraman, the supreme Lord has no specific form, if there is no form how can we address it, I am surprised, how did the Upanishads describe the supreme Bhramam?”

Shuka Bhramam speaks “Oh! Rajan, the supreme Lord is beyond intellect, mind, Prana, and Indhriyas, he is performing various amusements residing as a soul in living beings.  Oh! Bhagavan, you are the source of the functioning of the living beings, to achieve material as well as spiritual well-being of the living beings, which is repeatedly affirmed by the Upanishads, therefore it should be followed sincerely for spiritual advancement.  Oh! Rajan, There was an interesting conversation took place between Maharishi Narada and Rishi Narayana in Badarikashrama, regarding the nature of Bhramam which has neither form nor names.  It was answered by Narayana Rishi that was previously described in Shwethadhvipa by Sanandhana to Sanathkumara, Sanaka, and Sanathana.”

Sanandhana speaks “ I shall describe how did the Upanishads describe the supreme Bhramam that has no form or names”

Shruthi speaks “ Victory to supreme Lord! Victory to supreme Lord! Who is unconquerable, Oh! Bhagavan, you are all-pervading, pure, and unblemished.  You are described in the Upanishad as the supreme Lord who elevates the souls from the illusion. You symbolize Truth, Wisdom, Eternal Bhramam, you are beyond form, description, and perception, and you have subtle nature.  Oh! Bhagavan, all the living and non-living things undergo ruin during the deluge, like the broken mud pot remains mud, like the Sthoola Shareera undergoes ruin but the Sookshma Shareera remains unharmed/ the matter destroys and the energy remains intact, therefore the supreme Lord is described as superior cause/Paramakarana who keeps the mind and intellect indestructible. Oh! Bhagavan, you are that superior cause creates the Universe and its living beings and absorbs them at the time of the deluge.  The thought process of the mind and intellect causes the Jeeva to assume various bodies, the supreme soul causes functioning of the same.  Oh! Bhagavan, your Maya works according to your will. The intellectuals attain your lotus feet with the constant contemplation and meditation upon your lotus feet, in this way they immerse in the supreme bliss.  Oh! Bhagavan, whoever worships you with the thorough knowledge of your all-pervading nature, ‘Oneness-in-All’ lives their life fruitfully and others are ruining their lives, like the skin of wood is enough to produce fire in the absence of wood, although it provides fire,  will not have the real effect.  Oh! Bhagavan, there are various methods to worship you, some people worship you as Sthoolaroopa/idols, and others worship your subtle form resides as a supreme soul in their bodies, if it was practiced with the thorough knowledge of the Supreme Lord, they won’t take birth again and again.  Oh! Bhagavan, the Universe and its living beings of manifold nature has begun from you, you are all-pervading in it, like fire in the wood, the nature of fire will not change, and its volume may change according to the quantity of wood added in the fire.  Oh! Purusha, you reside as a soul in living beings of multifaceted nature, intellectuals worshiped you as the supreme soul that has no changes, with the knowledge that body undergoes constant transformation and ruin, eventually attained union with that Bramham.  Oh! Bhagavan, you have incarnated on the Earth to reveal that absolute truth, and elevate the souls.  Vedas originated from the experienced bliss of illustrious Rishis who invented the existence of a supreme soul within the living beings and constantly contemplated upon it.  Oh! Bhagavan, you are absolute truth, resides as a supreme soul in living beings, you are the constant companion of the living beings, therefore whoever do not worship you  without the knowledge of your presence in them, forgets your eternal presence and immerses in the material well-being, possession, wealth, and people that have to undergo constant ruin, is bringing Athmahani to them/ruin of their own soul, eventually, take several births and undergoes constant miseries and sorrows, like the rivers, have to keep their flow until they merge with the ocean.”
