(Here Swmiji explained that the greatest fear is to feel that one’s soul is different from the Supreme Soul) " ================================================================================\ == FROM www.dattapeetham.com Meaning cut and pasted below ______________________________ Bhajan 1: Dhyana Kirtana – Sri Rajarajeshi Raga - Shanmukha Priya Refrain: Sri Rajarajeswari! Show mercy to me. Just as you reside in Srichakra (a spiritual design), so also kindly reside in my heart. You radiate abundant brilliance. You reside in the nine charkas (encirclements of Sri Chakra) You always shine in the forms of several celestials. You enlighten the devotee’s heart with knowledge. Stanza 1: I always meditate on the non-difference i.e oneness of the Divine Mother (Sri Devi) and Sri Chakra. Also I ever ad ever think of the oneness of Sri Chakra and the Universe comprising of several worlds and galaxies. I deeply ponder over the oneness of the Universe and the human body (Paramatma, the Supreme Soul dwells in one aspect as Jivatma, the individual soul in the human body). As long as I live I feel always oneness of the Divine Mother’s mantra and form in my breathing always. (These are the four aspects of harmony or synthesis as per the sacred science of Srividya. In the further songs on the Mother during the festival, more details of these aspects of harmony will be explained) Stanza 2: Oh! Mother! Nada (the pious sound) is your form. You are in the left part of Siva’s form. Both the word and the meaning are your forms. Upanishads, the sacred books of philosophy explain many aspects of the Divine Mother, who is the repository of pure knowledge. You fondle your two sons Ganapati and Kumaraswamy. “Tat – Tvam – Asi†(‘Tat’ means that symbolizing the Supreme soul, ‘Tvam’ means that there is no difference between the individual soul and the Supreme Soul) Oh! Mother! You are the inner light (of knowledge) of the individual soul (tvam). You dispel fear (here difference). You are Truth-Knowledge-Bliss. (Here Swmiji explained that the greatest fear is to feel that one’s soul is different from the Supreme Soul) Swamiji instructed the devotees t listen, to sing this song and to contemplate on its meaning daily.
