🤰🏻Birth of breath🌬

Sundays in most cultures, old & new, are named after the Sun☀️, the one ☝️ & only source of every form of energy⚡️, every form of knowledge🤔 & every form of life👽 on our planet 🌏, directly or indirectly. It’s this very Sun🌞 whom our hungry, young & vital life energy of breath <hanumān🐵> had set out to swallow & thus render into nothingness 🕳, knowing not that it itSelf was an avatār of our nothingness <śi-vā> too!

Reentry is the spiciest, hottest🥵, most challenging😰 & yet thoroughly enjoyable😉 phase of a space shuttle’s flight🚀. Friends & co-passengers, welcome onboard this adventurous return trip of our life breath <hanumān> towards ourSelf <⛅️>. On the holy occasion of hanumān jayanti, let us begin a journey from devotion🙇‍♀️ back to wisdom🤔. This is a journey from rāmāyanā to adhyātma (spiritual) rāmāyanā; from mere book📖 to brain🧠; from védā to véd-āntā; from mere informationℹ️ to actual application🤘; from ritualistic karmayogā🏋️ to practical rajayogā🧘‍♀️; from the multitude of ordinary words📚 to the extraordinary source🕉 of all words whatsoever; from the interesting stories of our purānās & histories to the self-dissolving & ultimately highest or rather innermost truth of the upanišad of all upanišads, the māndūkya upanišad’s great sentence <mahā-vākyā>, ayam ātmā brahma (अयम् आत्मा ब्रह्म) meaning "This <ayam> very Self of ours <ātman> is the ultimate reality <brahman>" (māndūkya upanišad 1.2 of the atharva védā).

All the above 5️⃣ facets of

our 👃 breath 🫁 can be

regulated via prāN-āyamā,

as figuratively evidenced

by panca-mukhi ānjaNéyā,

with mastery over the

panca-bhūtās, incl. its

primary source: air/gas💨.

In being 5️⃣-faceted/faced

🐗🐴🦁🦅🐵panca-mukhi-

māruti isn’t alone. He/it

has illustrious company:

1] originally5️⃣-faced

brahmā, with hanumān

himself/itself being

touted/designated as the

next brahmā-in-waiting;

2] the 5️⃣-faced śivā, with

hanumān himself/itself

being his avatār; &

3] the 5️⃣-faced gāyatri,

with hanumān himself/

itself being certified by

our pleasant Self (rāmā)

as an embodiment of

védic wisdom like gāyatri.

This New Year’s Eve is

coincidentally a dusk

of timely stoic & STOIC

(case matters here,

check out the lexicon!)

troubleshooting (nandi’s

pradošam), as always

leading on to tomorrow’s

monthly night of

nothingness🕳(māsa

śi-va-rātri), consecrated

as the eternal 5️⃣-fold

symbolism of that which

isn’t (panca-lingéśvarā).

Indeed, the first night of

2022 is a śi-va-rātri!

The number 5️⃣ might ring

our memory bells as we

recollect the 5️⃣ x 5️⃣-fold

principle components

which we’re relishing

part-by-part both in our

lives & in my spiritual

blogs & vlogs, 

both past & present:

1] the 5️⃣ gross/subtle

     elements/phases of

     energy/matter, the

     panca-bhūtās;

2] our 5️⃣ sensors, the

     panca-jñāN-éndriyās;

3] our 5️⃣ actuators, the

     panca-karm-éndriyās;

4] our PID controller,

     consisting of mind-

     intellect-identity

    (manoh-buddhi-aham-

    kārā), in an environment

    (prakriti) powered by an

     individualised spirit (jiv-

    ātmā) or the supreme

    expressed in the field

    (kšétra puruśā); &

5] the 5️⃣ corresponding

     re-creative symbols of

     nothingness, ordered

     from the grossest to the

     subtlest, are as follows:

1] sadyo-jātha,

     conceived of🌏earth,

     thro’ our mind,

     manifested as👃nose,

     used for smelling, &

     expressed as excretion

     thro’ our anus;

2] vāma-déva,

     conceived of💧water,

     thro’ assumed identity,

     manifested as👅tongue,

     used for tasting, &

     expressed as procreation

     thro’ our genitals;

3] aghōra,

     conceived of🔥fire,

     thro’ our intellect,

     manifested as👀👁eyes,

     used for seeing form, &

     expressed as motion

     thro’ our dual🦶feet;

4] tat-puruša,

      conceived of🌬air💨,

      thro’ our nature,

      manifesting as skin,

      used for🤏touching, &

     expressed as work

     thro’ our 🖐hands🤚; &

5] īšāna,

      conceived of space,

      thro’ our ātmā,

      manifested as👂ears,

      used for hearing, &

      expressed as message

      thro’ our speech.

Recognize the intricate

appreciation of both inner

& outer aspects &, most

importantly, the 1:1

mapping between them.

Irrespective of what our

BMI🧰may be occupied

with, may it keep chanting

to 🕉 ourSelf with every

breath👃, the5️⃣-syllabled

(panca-akšari) mind-

protective (man-trā)

sound repeatedly

“na-mah śi-vā-ya = Not

mine; sheer vacuum y’all,”

prefixed by 🕉, which in

my dynamic vocab-of-

the-moment translates to

“the triple functionality of

cycling, pedaling & re-

cycling life (A-U-M)

isn’t (na) mine (ma-ma)

but that of nothingness

🕳 <śi-vā-ya>, the

precursor of hanumān!”

While most of bhārat 🇮🇳

celebrates hanumath

jayanti during the🌝full

moon🌕(pūrNimā=पूर्णिमा)

of Apr-May (caitra māh=

चैत्र माह), thamizh-nāDu

celebrates it on the🌑

new moon🌚(amāvasyā=

अमावस्या) of Dec-Jan

(mārgaśīrša māh=मार्गशीर्ष

माह), which typically

coincides with the lunar

constellation of our

source & resourceful

foundational roots (mūla

nakśatra = मूल नक्षत्र),

though in such birthday

celebrations, the lunar

phase (tithi) gets

precedence over the

lunar constellation 🌌

(nakśatra), if & when

they don’t coincide,

as they do in 2022.

Including itself as the

108th Self-citation (sic),

muktikōpanišad enlists

108 upanišads as the

core component of a

post-coronation advaitic

knowledge transfer

between ourSelf (rāmā)

& the vital prānic energy

of life breath (hanumān),

with the emotional

mind (sītā) initiating the

transmission process, in

the adhyātma rāmayan

which is in turn an extract

of the brahmāNda purānā.

Where TRUE bhakti❤️
