Humble Questions---Pl. convey the meaning of NAMAAMI VEDA MAATARAM

[Guest guest]

Jai Guru Datta.

During recent Navaratri celebrations HH Sri Swamiji composed many bhajans.

Out of them one is Godess GAYATRI Mata.

 

I am trying to understand the textual and figuritive meaning of this bhajan.

I could not easily get any finding. I very humbly seek the blessings of

scholars to

kindly explain the meaning of this Bhajan. That will be of great help.

 

Even if simple meaning of the whole Bhajan as an english paragraph would help.

 

///

Th Bhajan is : "NAMAMI VEDA MAATARAM BHAJAAMI CHITSUKHAM PARAM".

This bhajan is uploaded on Dattapeetham.com website and can be found

on October7th 2005, Friday celebration for Deity "Meenakshi".

But for these qustions I could follow the rest of the meaning of the Bhajan

completely.

 

(Q1)

=====

What is the meaning(figuritive) i.e. significance of the first line:

"TRAYEE TRAYAARDHA SAARA BHHOTA PATRAYEE VIRAAJITAA"?

what are the 3 elements mentione here? Are the 3 vyahritis:Bhooh, Bhuvah,

Suvaha---referred here or any thing else? Mor over what is the significanc of

the 2 different times repeate words (TRAYEE Traya+ardha)? Are these two

different triplets referred to or both are explaining the same triplet?

 

Then what is "Patryee Viraajitaa"?

What are the "Patra" referred here?

 

[Note: I also heared in the audio the word "Bhadrayee" in place of

"Patrayee".

I am a bit confused as to which is the correct word as originally composed by HH

Sri Swamiji. Since in script uploaded it is mentiond "Patrayee"...I think that

might be the correct one.]

 

Q2

===

What is the meaning of the word:"VivruNvatee"?

Does it mean "explained" (vivarNa, Vyaakhyaanam)?

 

Q3

===

what is meant by: "Manurhi"?

Does it mean -- in my mind/thinking (Godess Gaayatri is nothing else but my own

self/Aatman)

 

Q4

==

In the second Stanza,2nd line last word....

is it "Viraajitaa" or "Viraajikaa"?

 

I am trying to sing this Bhajan in my min numerous times how ever many times I

can when ever I remember about it.....and hence I do not want to be singing

wrong....

Hence I am beseeching with utmost sincerity....to kindly explain the meaning.

Is there any Dattapeetham book etc. which has meaning of this specific Bhajan?

 

I once again request humbly if any one who knows the correct meaning of these

words

could share with us....that will be a great help.

 

 

May Lord Datta bless us all.

Jai Guru Datta.

your help gave me immense joy and happiness. My heart is full with

happiness after following the meaning....that I have been searching for long!

 

This is a great help. Now I can get the doubled joy when ever I sing this

Bhajan.

 

I did not even know that "Bhajana Yogamu-Vivrti, part 2" existed. Thanks for

the information.

 

May Sri Swamiji bless us all.

 

Sri Guru Datta.

In Bhajana Yogamu-Vivrti, part 2, on pages 281-282 the meaning is given for

this song.

 

I will try to translate into English to the best of my ability. I am no

scholar. Please forgive me if my feeble attempt is not satisfactory. The lyrics

are also given in the English Bhajana Mala IV.

 

The praise rendered to Sri Gayatri Devi by the celestial beings:

 

Pallavi: Namaami veda maataram bhajaami chitsukham param.

 

By prostrating to the Mother of the Vedas and praising her, may we obtain the

supreme bliss of Consciousness.

 

Charanam: Trayee trayaartha saara bhoota pattrayee viraajitaa

Pavitra dhee prachodane lasat prabhaava bhaasuraa

Sadaatmano rabhedameva tatvato vivrnvatee

Manurhi Gaayatrikaa yadaatmikaiva taam

 

She is glorified by having the essence of the three Vedas as her three feet;

She is famous for her capacity for powerful stimulation of intellects in a

sacred way; She explains the unity of Jiva and Brahma to worthy souls; such a

Gayatri mantra is essentially the form of the Mother Goddess -

 

Pancha seersha bhaasuraa - sarvato mukhaa paraa

Pancha yugma baahukaa - drk trayee viraaji kaa

Brahma vaktra vaasinee - Braahmanaasya gaaminee

Sachidananda vinuta Gaa - yatrikaa cha yaiva taam

 

She is resplendant with five heads, this supreme Mother faces in all

directions, She has ten hands (five pairs), She is endowed with three eyes in

each face, She dwells in the faces of Brahma, She proceeds from the mouths of

Brahmins, She is renowned for being Sat-Chit-Ananda, Such a Gayatri Devi is

essentially the form taken by the Mother Goddess.
