Invocation 



 Om. May the different limbs of my body, my tongue, prana,  eyes, ears and my strength and also all the other sense—organs  be nourished! All, indeed, is Brahman, as is declared in the  Upanishads. May I never deny Brahman! May Brahman never  deny me! May there never be denial on my part! May all the  virtues described in the Upanishads belong to me, who am  devoted to Atman! Yea, may they all belong to me!  Om. Peace! Peace! Peace!

You seek support outside, and so go on working hard every day to come in contact with things external, thinking that your support is outside, but it is not there! You can not find a final support anywhere in the world. Everybody is sick of y

====================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------- 11/04/2020. Chapter One: Vaishvanara-Vidya The Self as the Universal Whole (Continued) Post-13. --------------------------------------------------------------- 1. The specific action that is taken up for discussion here is, what is called in the language of the sacred lore, Prana-agnihotra, or the sacrificial offering to the Universal Fire. The food that we take every day is a holy oblation to the All-pervading Vital Fire. This meditation is Prana-agnihotra. Agnihotra is the consecrated offering into the sacred Fire.

The external sacrifice ceases to be external any more. Viewing everyt

 ======================================================================= ========================================================================= Sunday, September 18,  2022. 07:00. Chapter - 3 : Sanatkumara's Instructions on Bhuma-Vidya :  SECTION 11: HEAT. ======================================================================= Subtler principles are always superior to the grosser ones, because they are more pervasive in character. Hence, if water is superior to the earth principle, fire is superior to the water principle. Mantram-1.
