Gita reflection Ch 10 verses 35 & 36

7th August 2024


In the Chandogya Upanishad, the explanation of Brihat Saman is that which is interwoven in the sun. The rising of the sun is the syllable Him; the risen sun is the Prastava; the midday sun is the Udgitha; the afternoon sun is Pratihara; and the setting sun is the Nidhana. This is the manifestation of God.

The Sanskrit language is rich with thousands of poetic literature, and a variety of meters (chandas) are used. Among them, God's manifestation is in the Gayatri meter. The famous Gayatri Mantra is composed in the Gayatri meter as well.

God's manifestation also appears in the month of Margasheersha, which occurs during December and January, and in the season of Spring, when we see the blossoming of flowers and the emergence of new, young shoots.

Furthermore, God's manifestation is evident even in deceitful games such as gambling. He is the energy of the energetic ones, the nobility of the nobles, and also represents excellence and effort.
