Mantram-4.

Post-18.

=========================================================================

Mantram - 1.5:4: Upasana 3 – On the Vedas

With Translation :

9 bhuh iti vai richah; = Bhuh is – RIG VEDA;

bhuvah iti saamaani;   = Bhuvah is – SAMA VEDA;

suvah iti yajoogmshi;  = Suvah is – YAJUR VEDA;

maha iti brahma;       = Mahah is – BRAHMAN (the “OM” syllable);

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10 brahmanaa vaava sarve = It is by the OM syllable that all 

vedaa maheeyante =  the Vedas are nourished.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bhashyam (Vyakyanam) :

9-10 In the light of the previous two Upasanas, we may be tempted to differentiate 

the Vedas into higher and lower, or subtler and grosser, categories. Fortunately, Pujya 

Chinmayananda guides us not to do any such thing. He clarifies that what is to be noted is 

that they all contain Mantras, and that the essence of all Mantras is “Om”, which represents 

the Supreme Reality, Brahman. Thus, Om meditation is prescribed here.
