Commentary on the Isavasya Upanishad - 12. Swami Krishnananda
Chinmaya Mission:
Swami Swaroopananda, the Global Head of Chinmaya Mission and the Chancellor of Chinmaya Vishwa Vidyapeeth (CVV) Kerala, undertook a transformative visit to CVV from October 6th to 14th.
This visit was a platform for honoring the outstanding achievements of students.
Those selected as Ambassadors of the National Education Policy by the University Grants Commission (UGC) through the NEP SAARTHI initiative were recognized.
Additionally, NSS volunteers who received a "Special Mention Award" in the state short film competition, part of Geriatric Day, were celebrated.
The highlight of the event was CVV's 3rd Convocation Ceremony at Le Meridien Hotel in Kochi.
Dr. Roger Gopaul, the High Commissioner of the High Commission of Trinidad and Tobago in India, delivered a profound keynote address on October 8th, during which approximately 89 students received their degrees from Swamiji.
Swami Swaroopananda, in his felicitation address, urged students to pursue success while upholding values and facing life's challenges with determination.
He emphasized the enduring importance of cultivating love and compassion for all.
The event also featured Swami Advayananda delivering the Chinmaya Mission pledge, a warm welcome by Prof. Ajay Kapoor, and a vote of thanks proposed by Prof. T. Asokan. CVV Managing Trustee, Apparao Mukkamala, extended his thoughts and gratitude to the audience.
Adding a unique dimension to the visit, a special retreat was organized at the idyllic Chinmaya Eswar Gurukula campus in Veliyanad, Ernakulam, exclusively for CVV's faculty and staff.
This retreat fostered camaraderie and connections among colleagues from various locations, leaving a lasting impact on the participants.

===============================================================
Mantras - 15-18 are prayers to the sun-god and fire-god.
The prayer is for liberation. According to our ancients we regard the sun-god as the best visible manifestation of the Absolute. In the sun, there is śakti which is beyond the ken of human understanding, and from the time of the Vedas till to-day we regard the sun as a representation of īśvara. This is a great spiritual secret, which out ordinary mind cannot understand. According to astrology, the sun is conjoined with the atman, and the moon with the mind. These are facts of experience by the sages and saints. In our present condition, we cannot realise these truths. Therefore, these are said to be secrets. Further, the period of the movement of the sun towards the north, the Uttarayatta is considered auspicious and it is believed that even a sinner dying during this period attains to heavenly regions.
Based on this secret, this upanisad contains a prayer to the sun-god for giving us liberation:
“O! Sun, we have to realise the Truth hidden in you. With our eyes, we cannot have the true vision of you. All we see is only a brilliant light, a tejo bindu. We are unable to see the Reality hidden within this great light. What is within you! O Lord, you have covered your real self with the rays of your light which appear like a golden vessel. You have covered your real form. Because of the brilliance of the brilliance of the light, we are unable to see the truth within this light. Your body is of golden hue, and your real self is hidden because of this golden vessel. Remove this golden vessel; do not cover yourself: Remove the veil you have covered yourself with, so that I can see you well. Who am I? Let me see through you. I am supported, dependent on you (the Truth).
My life is according to dharma. [Here satya (Truth) and dharma (cosmic law) are shown as identical.] Truth is my dharma. So let me know who I am, by seeing your real self. [Living the life in accordance with the Truth is what is referred to as dharma. Satyam is that which is within you]. Even as my life is lived in dharma, you are the foundation of that dharma evolving out of you. My life of dharma befits me to realise the truth which can be effected by having your vision. For, you are that Truth in which dharma is to culminate. Therefore, there is similarity between us. You are the form of Truth and I want to see you. As I am also founded on Truth, I have a right to have your vision, the vision of Truth. If it were not so, how can I look at you and become the Truth Itself ! My dharma is Truth. Your principle also is truth.”
(N. B. So far the matter is from the recorded tapes. What follows and up to the end is what has been amplified from the notes taken, in main, by myself during these half-hour talks on the upanishads mentioned in the preface. The help of Vishnu Chaitanya's notes, also taken during these classes and in English, has been taken to counter-check my notes.)
There is adhyatmik connection and not just a mānasik or mental one between you (the sun) and me. For, the principle of existence that is in you, is in me also. Satya and dharma are one, for the latter is the law of the former. I follow this law and therefore you who are satya should reveal your sat to me. So, remove this golden vessel with which you are covering yourself, for I want to see satya.
Besides this upanisad, other scriptures also say that the Truth behind the sun and the Truth within everyone, are the same. The sun's rays take us to Truth. Another scripture says: 'From sun, a person effulgent with light came and conducted him up.'
