A short note on Narayana Upanisat

 


A short note on Narayana Upanisat

Upanisat (also referred as Vedanta) are the last parts of the Vedas that give cogent information on the objective of the Vedas and the absolute knowledge (knowing about the Supreme Personality) to be known by everyone

Upanisats are considered as venerate sacred texts and many gnanis have given wonderful commentaries on them. Being a rookie myself, I would like to ask the readers to kindly excuse me for my blatant act of writing notes on these pristine texts with my limited knowledge

 Salutations to my Aacharyas - Aravamudha Thathacharya namah: Narasimha
Thathacharya Mahadesikaya namah: Lakshmi Kumara Thathacharya Mahadesikaya namah: Mahadesikaya namah: Bhashyakaaraya namah: Sadagopaya namah: Sriyai namah: 
Sri Pranathaarthi Haravarada Parabrahmane namah:


ॐ अथ पुरुषो ह वै नारायणोऽकामयत प्रजाः सृजेयेति|

Narayana, the supreme personality wished to create living beings

नारायणादेव समुत्पद्यन्ते । नारायणे प्रवर्तन्ते । नारायणे प्रलीयन्ते ॥

Narayana is the source from which everything emerged from. Narayana is the one who sustains everything. Narayana is the destination for everything that are destroyed.

अथ नित्यो नारायणः|

That Narayana is omnipresent

निष्कलो निरञ्जनो निर्विकल्पो निराख्यातः शुद्धो देव एको नारायणः|

Things that existed in the past and those that are going to exist in future are Narayana, He is blemishless and blissful. He is
without dichotomy and the only one.

यो ह वै नारायणस्याष्टाक्षरं पदमध्येति 

"Om namo Narayana", the eight letter salutation is the superlative word 

सर्वभूतस्थमेकं नारायणम् । कारणरूपमकार परं ब्रह्मोम् ।

Narayana forms the fundamental basis for everything and he is the causeless cause of everything

 Why Narayana is called "causeless cause"?

 He is the cause of everything but he doesn't partake the outcome of his Karma of creating/sustaining/destroying everything. Hence, he is not involved in causality.

Let this be an offering to Sriman Narayana
