JAYA JAGANNATHA

Dear Zoran,

In answer to your question:-

 

SHANKARACHARYA'S PRAYER

 

Om Narayana ParoAvayaktadandamavyaktaSambhavam

AndaSyantastitvame Lokah SaptaDeepa Cha Medini

 

 

OM : NARAYANA IS BEYOND (MUCH ABOVE) THE UNMANIFEST . THE BRAHMANDA

(COSMIC EGG) EVOLVES FROM THE UNMANIFEST. THE BRAHMANDA CONTAINS ALL THE

WORLDS INCLUDING THIS EARTH WITH ITS SEVEN CONTINENTS.

 

This prayer, provided in the Bhagavad Gita with the commentary of Adi

Sankara, has been taken from a smriti and gives the ultimate objective of

every birth in this world at least. Thus, Sri Ramanujacharya has given the

best mantra(Vishnu Astakshari) "OM NAMO NARAYANAYA " that will guide us to

this penultimate goal .

Narayana is composed of two words ' Nara' meaning ' any body ' and ' Ayana

meaning ' Goal '. Thus the composite word Narayana means the ultimate goal

of every body both living and non-living or mobile and immobile. In a more

subtle sense it refers to the individual soul (Microcosm) endeavouring to

attain Union (Yoga) with the Universal Soul(Macrocosm). Thus, Narayana also

means this universal soul or supreme personality of Godhead. The Unmanifest

is referred to as 'Maya' or illusion, and in the Bhagavad Gita is called the

Akshara' (syllable), immutable Brahma. Thus, if Narayana is said to be even

above this sound syllable which is the source of all creation, then Narayana

is also Parambrahman or Sadasiva and is above them.

Brahmanda: Brahma, the dimurge God evolved from the navel of Narayana and

' Anda' literally means the 'egg. Thus Brahmanda refers to the hiranyagarbha

(golden embryo - principle of cosmic evolution), whereby the universe was

created. In fact ' All these worlds ' used in the prayer refers to the

universe (' Virat ') composed of five elements (or rather fire states of

matter/energy). These are the earth elements (solid), water element

(liquids), air element (gases). Fire element (energy) and space element

(ether).

Best Regards,

Sanjay Rath
