GENERAL TRANSLATION
He who flashes forth always inside all as the ‘I’
in all the recurring states of
childhood etc., waking state etc.,
and in all other states also;
who reveals himself through the
auspicious symbol to those who take shelter in him;
to that Great Guru, Dakshinaa
Moorti, I offer this salutation.
BAALYA- childhood
JAAGRAT-waking state
AVASTHAA - state
ANUVARTAMAANAM – recurring,
continuous
PRAKATEEKAROTI - reveals
BHADRA MUDRA- auspicious
symbol
MEANINGFUL TRANSLATION
Salutations to that Great Manifestation;
that Manifestation towards the descent!
Salutations to that Supreme state;
which state flashes forth inside as
‘I’ continuously
in the recurring states of childhood etc,
waking state etc.
and in all other states too;
which state reveals itself to the
contemplating aspirants
through the auspicious symbol of
JeevanMukti state.
How do we catch this Self and wake up?
Analyze the life as a totality.
You were once a child; a young man; a middle aged person;
then you grow old and will die some day.
You remember what all you did as a child; you remember the
actions of the youth; you remember the actions of the middle age….!
Memories have always ‘you’ as the centre of actions.
Your body was never the same body even for a day. It was
changing day after day. Still you say that you were the doer in all these
phases of childhood, youth etc.
Through all the phases of childhood, youth and old age, you
still feel your Self as the ‘I’.
Who are you? Surely not the body, for it is different in
different events.
Similarly if you analyze the states a human mind passes
through you can classify them as waking, dream and deep sleep states.
You have similar experiences of the waking state in the
dream state, without having the gross body. For you as the dreamer of the dream
is real; you remain as the dreamer till you wake up and say all that you dreamed
was not real.
You sometimes sleep without dreams; you wake up and say that
you saw nothing in deep sleep. But understand that there was also the ‘I’
seeing nothing in sleep.
There was never a second when this I was absent in any phase
of your life or any state of your experiences.
This ‘I’ is the Self; the pure awareness.
Those who seek the Self through sincere efforts realize
their existence as Para Brahman. The limited Self goes through the process of
seeking its true nature and the higher self.
It goes through the
process of revealing ITSELF through the
Bhadra Mudraa.
Who reveals to whom? Who seeks whom?
There is no limited self; there is no higher Self; there is
only One Absolute.
He, the Para Brahman reveals Himself as your own Self
through the BHADRA MUDRA (the auspicious
symbol of thumb opposing forefinger and joining it to form a complete circle),
which is the symbol of the oneness of the individual Self with the Supreme
Self.
It is not to be immediately assumed that Para Brahman
appears like the God with form.
No need to immediately get ready with flowers and fragrant
sticks and a hymn book.
What Shankara is presenting here is the Supreme abstract
truth of ‘One as many’.
How can this Para Brahman who is all that we perceive, turn
into a tiny form just to show us the Jnaana Mudraa? How can the mirror become
the reflection? How can light become darkness?
Para Brahman, the ‘Nirvikalpa state’ cannot have a body and
have fingers and teach a second person through a Jnaana Mudraa.
Then what does Shankara mean?
The Bhadra Mudraa, the auspicious symbol is the
‘JeevanMukta’ – one who is liberated while living.
Through proper Self-enquiry and discriminative intellect –
Viveka and Vichaara- when you realize you become the Bhadra Mudraa of Para
Brahman!
When you realize the Self, you become the symbol of Jnaana
to others.
‘You’- the ‘JeevanMukta’ is the living instruction given by
Para Brahman to other aspiring individuals.
‘THAT’ is now shining
as ‘you’; through the leftover mind of yours.
You as the individual Self cease to exist once you realize
your true nature. Your previous limited identity does not exist anymore. THAT alone remains!
The mind exists like a burnt up rope just retaining a shadow
of the previous Vaasanaas allowing the day to day existence to go on. The body
remains like a shadow not in any way affecting you, the Para Brahman. You see
the whole world of perceptions as an unreal panorama of your own Self. You are
now the mirror; the reflection who was ‘the individual you’ as the small ‘I’
has vanished.
Your struggle to reach the Reality and the final Union of the individual Self with the Supreme Self is the
Jnaana Mudraa - through which THAT
reveals to the world that the individual Self alone is the Supreme Self! You
are the DakshinaaMoorthi; the Savikalpa Brahman. The whole Universe is your
form now.
Your realized state is the symbol of the union of the
individual Self with the Supreme Self. You are the Bhadra Mudraa!

GENERAL TRANSLATION
That Purusha, the individual Self who is completely deluded by Maayaa
perceives the world as the cause and effect phenomenon;
and sees oneself as belonging to the Owner and his own Self
divided as disciple and Guru, father and son etc;
to that to that Great Guru,
Dakshinaa Moorti, I offer this salutation.
KAARYA- Effect
KAARANA-Cause
SWAAMI-Owner (possessing
proprietary rights)
SAMBANDHA- relationship
(bound well, joined well)
SISHYA- disciple (one who has
to be instructed)
AACHAARYA- Teacher (one who
acts what he instructs)
PITR- father (one who
protects, takes care)
PUTRA-son (saves the father
from entering the ‘Pun’ hell)
BHEDA-Difference (to break)
SVAPNA- dream
PARIBHRAMITAH- completely
deluded (stuck in the same idea without reason)
MEANINGFUL
TRANSLATION
Salutations to that Great Manifestation;
that Manifestation towards the descent!
Salutations to that Supreme state;
which existing as embodied soul(Purusha)
is completely overpowered by delusion
whether awake or dreaming,
perceives the differences as
son and father, disciple and teacher,
and
oneself as owned by some one else
and the entire world as connected by the
cause and effect phenomenon.
The moment the word BHADRA
MUDRAA was mentioned, immediately the mind of the listener would
conceive a form of some Supremacy, mostly the ascetic form of Shiva and
visualize him showing the Jnaana Mudraa!
Shankara laughs at such minds and salutes the deluded
Brahman in their forms!
Delusions are many types.
First one is the delusion of philosophers- who try to find
the Cause for this creation. They see this ever changing world as an effect
with a cause; and break their heads as to what is the material cause, which is
the instrumental cause, who is the intelligent agent and so on.
This is intellectual delusion.
Second is the God-devotee delusion – this changing world is
created by an all powerful, beautiful, compassionate, omniscient, omnipotent
God with form; we the beings of this
world are under His mercy; we are his property; we must develop devotion for
him; we must worship him and spend our after-life singing glories in his benign
presence.
This is emotional delusion.
The third one is the common delusion experienced by all the
beings of the world – ‘differentiations’!
Again the leading delusion here is the ‘Disciple-Teacher’
differentiation.
Next in line are the family differentiations – ‘I am the
son, you are the father’ etc.
Rest of the differentiating terms need not be mentioned;
everyone knows it.
This is the worldly delusion.
What is not a delusion here? Every moment from birth
to death every action, thought and word of ours is enveloped by delusion.
First is the cause and effect phenomenon.
If one action succeeds another action, then the preceding
action is considered to be the cause of the succeeding action; for example-
suppose your pet cat meowed when you
got the information of your promotion by
phone - then the cat’s meow becomes the
sacred omen which will being good fortune to you always. So every time the cat
meows you will think that a good thing will happen. The cat unknown to itself
becomes your divine messenger from heaven; maybe since it always meows you will
ignore its wasted meows and only observe the very few fortunate happenings and
the meows given at such times as connected. When we see a talented juggler’s
show and open our eyes with wonder, we ignore all the ninety nine misses that
the show man had before he came on the stage.
We want miracles; we want some magic; and we get it basket
full from our God men!
If it the Divine Magic you are interested in seeing, can’t
you wonder at the greatest magic that is occurring all around you?
This delusion that you are a person with limited form and a
label itself is the greatest magic presented by Para Brahman!
Taking out tiny statues from the dirty stinking mouth is not
the divine magic; the fact that you act so deluded to believe in any mambo
jumbo is the magic! That is Maayaa for you! You are part of the magic show
yourself; what more magic do you want?
So many foolish conceptions of cause and effect exist even
in this peak point of Science discoveries; a widow comes in front of you, you
will have bad luck; a person asks where you are going and your work will be a
failure; you visit a particular temple and all your problems will get solved;
you go to the astrologer and he instantly knows your past present and future!
So and on..!
What causes what effect?
Your own brain-processes, your own Vaasanaas, your own
negative and positive feelings, your own brainless actions cause your
misfortunes or fortunes. There is no external unseen fate, no causal phenomenon
acting with a vengeance to destroy you like an evil demon. You are just a very
tiny chemical scum spread out on this vast arena of Earth - which is a virtual
world created by the Gods - who rise and vanish countless times in the ocean of
Chit. And why some evil demon from nowhere should bother to spoil your
meaningless life when you do not even equal a mosquito in the wide cosmos?
Why should any planet thousands of light years away affect
your daily life and decide your puny profit or loss? Who are you that any force
of nature should bother about you? Who cares for you?
God…? Why should he, when he has set the automatic rule of
action equals results in this virtual world and is relaxing on his lotus bed
with his pretty wife (Naaraayana is responsible for the maintenance of the
worlds).
If fifty years of technology makes you so free that you may
run all your affairs just by pressing some buttons on a key board, then your
own creators- Brahma Vishnu and Maheshvara – will they not have more
sophisticated computer systems to run this world? They may prefer to run around
with glamorous costumes and gold and diamond ornaments; that does not mean that
they are just magically powered idiots who do not know science.
If this whole Universe exists because of the anthropic
principle where so many factors have to be conducive to human existence; where
even if one number goes amiss in calculations we would not be sitting on our
comfy chairs and browsing the net.
Even if the speed of light is not what it is, the very
graphics of the world would become
chaotic. If one number were amiss, our body atoms would be
bursting into space like nuclear bombs.
Our universe might just be a program in a super computer;
and we might all be just DNA guinea pigs
of some super scientists called Gods!
If that is the case, who is going to bother about a virtual
existence like you and count how many flowers you offered to a lifeless statue
and grant magical boons??
Leave out these present creators of our present Universe (It
is just one H2O molecule in the infinite ocean of Chit
Time and space do not exist in that state. It is the
‘Singularity point’ of Consciousness or awareness or existence or bliss or
whatever terms you feel like using to describe it.
All Vaasanaas –simultaneously are creating their own fields
of experience and narratives with their own space time co ordinates.
We all do not live in the same world. Each one’s perception
creates his or her own space-time co-ordinates; each one’s brain perceives
everything based on its own capacity.
It is a proved fact that, if a huge building collapses, a
tortoise, a fly and a human will see the same scene in different time-spans.
Even the red color you see may not be the same red the other person will be
seeing; even the sugar you taste may not give the same taste as that of the
other person.
We all think we live in a same solid Universe because we use
common words in language to denote our private experiences. We do not even know
whether the people we meet here are virtual figures or zombies or dream
characters. We do not know whether we are in a real world or a virtual world;
we do not know anything; we just act as per the suggestions of the unconscious
brain controlling us.
It is a proved fact that even before we get the thought the
action gets done. We get the info in the conscious brain about what is
happening only after the command has been already executed by the unconscious.
We are just automatons; bio-chemical organisms existing in
such a deluded condition that we do not even know why we exist, how we exist
and what for we are what we are!
We are all just a bundle of Vaasanaas; just a possibility
existing with some brain made narrative! That bird flying away to collect food
is your own Vaasanaa for eating food; that rat which is collecting all
materials in its hole is your own Vaasanaa of hoarding; the cockroach that is
hiding in your clothes cup board is your own dirty thought you had the night
before; the mosquitoes that hover around you in the evening are your own hidden
thoughts of anxiety. That man selling the fruits in the shop is a scene created
to fulfill your own Vaasanaa of eating a fruit. On his side he is an expression
of a Vaasanaa of wanting wealth and taste for the fruits too. That shop which
sells high tech computers is fulfilling your Vaasanaa for buying a computer;
the Vaasanaa for wealth and a lesser desire for computing expresses there as a
shop keeper selling computers. Vehicle driving Vaasanaa is the person who drives
his own car. A little too much thickening of that Vaasanaa gives him a driver’s
post in a rich man’s house. The winner of the car race you admire in the sports
channel is the Vaasanaa for racing; he will be racing horses in one Universe;
racing chariots in another Universe; racing cars here. He is a race Vaasanaa
expressed in manifold ways.
Every thing you perceive is the expression of a Vaasanaa.
Countless Vaasanaas interact with each other and you have a
Universe running here by itself. Even Naaraayana cannot stop your Vaasanaa
getting executed; it is a high speed wave emanating from the brain. It collides
with similar such waves and in that collision we see a colorful world of sun
rising and sun setting; and we live unaware that we are just ‘pictures’ - brain
signals - possibilities – potentialities- created by the Vaasanaas.
We are just a wave frequency –an equation – a brain
configuration in this vast arena of energy flux.
Even if we see different worlds as different persons at
different moments we will not be aware of it. We are all just Vaasanaa-waves
arising one moment and disappearing the next moment. We may not even continue
as the same person.
Some memory- configuration wherever it collides with any
other brain-configuration produces an existence as that particular person-
Jeeva- living that experience.
Our scriptures refer to the living forms in the world either
as JANTU-creature; or JEEVA- an experiencer of life. Jeeva is just an
experience experienced with an apparent space time boundaries for a fraction of
a second.
With the quantum theories abounding with discussions of the
unpredictability of the universal happenings; how can we be so assured of our
own little identities?
A slightest quivering in the quantum world, you who are
eating a jam sandwich quietly reading a newspaper might be next moment fighting
a war in Sri Lanka ;
maybe the news you are reading at that moment might have caused this happening
and disturbed the quantum state of your neural circuits.
What happened to your sandwich eating identity? It continues
in its own Universe continuing the sandwich eating Vaasanaa.
You? You are you in another parallel Universe. The magic
here is you will never know of the transition. So many ‘You’s, exist in so many
Universes fulfilling the random thoughts rising in your mind!
The intensity of the rise of the parallel existence depends
upon the intensity of the thought. Suppose you are walking, you see a pretty
girl passing you; just a tiny vibration occurs in your brain without a thought
process; that may happen to many who pass her. At some point when the totality
of all these vibrations are thickened it affects any suitable brain and that
idiot may lose control and hug her prompted by that Vaasanaa.
Who was the cause of his act?
You and many others together caused injury to that lady.
Observe how even a tiny though- like vibration can be harmful!
Suppose an intensive thought comes to you that you should
eat a pizza; but due to some strike or something pizza shops are closed and you
cannot get your pizza. You after some time forgot that you ever wanted that
pizza; even the next day when the strike is over, you do not show interest in
eating a pizza. But what happened to that thought? In some other universe where
the strike is not there you (your copy) ate that pizza and continued a life
there. You came into existence in that world with the same memory patterns but
changed your life to pizza eating person and continued.
Think how many unnecessary thoughts and wants we develop in
the course of one single day; how many Vaasanaas we create every moment; how
many parallel Universes come into existence every second.
All this occurs in a space less timeless point of CHIT. There is no cause; no effect!
It is as if the seed you buried in the soil, instantly
became all the possible trees at the same instant, yet remaining as the seed
itself! If all this happened inside the seed itself and the seed remained both
as the seed and the sprouts simultaneously - that is the ‘Unmanifest Manifest
Brahman’.
You as Para Brahman are having all these ever increasing
Vaasanaas.
You (limited ‘I’) are not the Vaasanaa; but ‘what is you’ is
just a possibility existing as an energy wave in YOU
the Supreme Para Brahman.
But caught in the parody of entropy and direction of time;
imagining all events as occurring one after other causing many other succeeding
occurrences; seeing yourself with a limited form bound by space and time;
believing in non existing relationships of employer and employee, master and
the disciple; father and son and so on, you wander about in many existences in
many Universes in both the waking state and the dream state deluded by Maayaa.

MEANINGFUL TRANSLATION
Salutations to that Great Manifestation;
that Manifestation towards the descent!
Salutations to that Supreme state;
which state wholly shines as all the
moving and non moving things
in the eightfold manifestations of
‘field of experience’,
‘ever flowing experiences’,
‘all consuming fire of Ego’,
‘fanning wind of attachments’,
‘enveloping sky namely space time boundaries’,
‘Sun namely the unaffected witness state’,
and the ‘waxing and waning moon of
pleasant rays
namely the mental faculty’,
and as the ‘individual soul entrapped in
the city of nine gates
namely the body’.
Nothing else exists other than these
manifestations of the
all powerful one for the deliberating
ones.
Para Brahman is of the eightfold nature of Earth, water,
fire, air, sky, sun and the moon and the Purusha.
All mobile and non mobile things can be classified into this
one category.
A scientist may just laugh and say – ‘moon- the broken piece
of Earth hanging up there? And Sun - the tiny star existing like a sand
particle in the vast beach of the universe? And the elements? Your Brahman is
just this much?’
Unfortunately the code meanings behind these ordinary terms
are lost to us in the course of time. The secret of the Vedic terms lays buried
in the hearts of the Sages who have not risen here at present times to offer
the key to us to decipher these terms.
But very ancient texts of yore explain these words and here
is what the explanation is like.
‘BHOO’ is the field
created by the Vaasanaas to manifest.
AMBHAS is the
experience created by that Vaasanaa.
Fire is the ego which has the experiences.
Air is the ‘contact’ the Jeeva, the experiencer attains by
perceiving the ‘Vaasanaa created world’.
Sky is the space time concept which everyone has according
to the capacity of their brains.
Sun is the witness-state which is Pure Consciousness aware
of all experiences the Jeeva undergoes.
Moon is the waning and waxing mental faculty which is happy
one moment and unhappy the next moment; which shines by the reflected light of
the witness consciousness- Sun; which shines only when ignorance is there; with
stars namely fixed ideas like –
I am of this name; my father is so and so; my mother is so
and so; I am a man; I am a woman; I must study; etc etc.
All these ideas are the stars. The ever fixed unmoving
planets are the fixed ideas about your own existence. Twinkling stars further
away are the dreams and desires which may get fulfilled or not.
Para Brahman can be described as having the eight fold
nature of witness consciousness; the individual Self; mental faculty;
space-time idea; contact arising through delusion; experiencer; experiences;
and the field of experiences.
It is the same Para Brahman in different levels.
The existence of the Universe can be traced from ‘now’ to
the singularity state; similarly we can observe our own existence here and
retrace it back to the state of Para Brahman.
We begin with the outside world – BHOO -
the vast Universe; the solar system; the Earth; your
country; your city; your colony; your
house; your parents; your children; your wife or husband and your friends; and
of course the cell colony namely your body; the atoms that make up your body;
- all this is BHOO-
the field of experience.
Convert all this into one idea as the BHOO and keep it away.
Then look within.
There is a ‘you’ who are made of thoughts – the Fire – the
ego -
my house; my wife; my husband; my bank balance; my children;
my loss; my profit etc etc; just a pile
of ‘mine’s; - the ever burning fire which consumes food forever without cessation.
‘BHOO’ grows the flora
and fauna you have planted as seeds in the form of Vaasanaas;
‘BHOO’ becomes the
experiences you enjoy giving rise to the possibilities of more experiences.
The fire in you as the ego consumes all experiences and
wants more and more.
The water produces
more and more. Fire eats more and more; the process goes on and on.
Swim across the waters; jump over the fire and come further
within; the air is blowing heavily. It is the air which creates the ‘sky
raising flames’ in the ‘ego-fire’.
What is it actually? Attachments!
You hold yourself unbending in this storm; get rid of all
attachments and walk further within.
Now you are not experiencing anything; you do not want
anything; you are not perturbed by attachments; you are calm and peaceful and
silent.
There in the distance is a dark sky ahead with the cool moon
(mind) smiling at you. The stars (ideas) twinkle and welcome you.
It is the darkness of ignorance; the mental faculty with so
many thoughts, desires and ideas.
Far far away there is a gleam of light.
You reject the beautiful dark night of the charming moon and
run towards the ‘witness’.
A full blast of light hits you. You feel yourself as the
Light Supreme!
You are blissful; you are now high up in the sky. You look
down at the myriad Universes vibrating far below .You are the Supreme Light
which creates the very space-time peculiarities in all the Universes below you.
You are not bound by space or time.
You are the pure light of awareness.
You get rid of that witness awareness too and remain silent.
You are the blissful Para Brahman with no perturbations at
all.
There exist no worlds; no Universes; no egos; no witness
consciousness; no ‘BHOO’ or ‘ANILA’ or ‘AMBHAS’
or any such thing; no world ; no relations; no friends; no bondage; no freedom;
no space; no time; nothing else but you;
not even the quivering of the ‘I’.
Just silence!
