Kalathreya Bodhitam Brahma Brahma, Intro. Description from the CD

[Guest guest]

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 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,

VARIVATSARAN that 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 are 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.

 

Jai Guru Datta
