Dwadasha Stotra

Dwadasha stothra 3 : Verse 2

Sachidanadam  roopam tham anamaya anantharam

Ekam ekantham abhayam  vishnum vishva hruddhi stitam || 2||

We as a species are aware only of bodies that are made from 5 elements – earth, water, fire (gives form) sky, air

Narayana’s form is not made from 5 elements but it is sachidananda roopa. We can not aspire to do chintane of all gunas of bhagavantha. Shastras say we must to do chintane of following gunas : Sath, chith, ananda, atma He is antaryami of us and protects/controls us.

  • Ananda – inner bliss (without expectation – we get only in sleep) .Modha / Pramodha – outer bliss (pleasure due to external factors)
  • Chith – wisdom
  • Sath – void of all defects

amaya – disease / grief

anamaya – devoid of grief

anatharam – sathchitanadam is inseparable in Narayana

  • Ekam – Such kind of form which is akanda is only one.
  • Ekam eva adwithiya brahma –  Bhagavantha is akanda (his gunas,kriyas are inseparable) , there is no dwithiya form like him
  • Ekantham – should be worshipped in solitude (meditation) – eka eva anthaha – last resting place – mukthanam parama gathih

Abhyam – without fear – as there is no second being as Narayana

Bhaya – samasra bhandana

Vishnum – Omnipresent stays in the heart

 Vishwa – 3 meanings –

1. Souls – he enters into body ( vishati iti vishwaha)

 2. Chaturmukha brahma (adhi jeeva)

 3. Vaayudevaru (one who breathes inside all)

We should meditate thinking Such a God is inside our heart.
