Vedas 13 - The Brahman Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon
Vedas 13 - The Brahman
What is Brahman?
Who is Brahman?
Two mind boggling questions!
Thought provoking, thought engrossing!
The Ultimate Reality is Brahman!
All beings arise out of Brahman,
All beings live in Brahman,
All beings get absorbed in Brahman!
Brahman is the Cause of this universe,
The production of this world,
The maintenance of this world,
The dissolution of this world.
Brahman is the Lord of all,
The knower of all,
The inner controller of all,
The final haven of all.
Reference: 112 Upanishads - Translated by a Board of Scholars.
Very informative and inspiring....your tireless work on this kind of spiritual and philosophical subjects is greatly impressive...wish you all the best Geeta...please read my poem Brahma A Supposition at your leisure...thank you
thank you Ma'm, as usual, for your wonderful review. Certainly, i shall read Brahma A supposition.
Hi Geeta, You are right. In Sanskrit, the word is ब्रह्मन्, which connotes the source of all life.
Part 2 In Sanskrit, the word Brahmam can be pronounced as BRAHM, whereas the Creator God is BRAHMAA. The word Brahm refers to the Omnipotent Power, which is the source and origin of all life. When the life ceases or ends, the life, the aatmaa dissolves back in Brahm. Very poignant discussion on the Indian Philosophy. Fantastic poem. Well done Geeta.100+
Dear Unni, please read Vedas 6 and Vedas 11, once again. I refer to the Guru Sishya Parmpara and the meaning of the word ' Upanishads'. To sit close to the teacher and listen, learn with implicit trust and great amount of humility. That's exactly what i am doing. I am following the path of my wonderful teachers and am repeating what they have taught me.
In Sanskrit texts of Vedas and Upanishads, the word is BRAHMAN. It has been been recognised by the Sanskrit Scholars and Philosophers all over the world.The Hindi Scholars refer to it by the word Brahm. Secondly, the word Brahmaa - the god has no relevance here. I am strictly on the path of the teachers who have taught me the word 'Brahman' and as accepted and recognised by the board of scholars of the universities teaching Indian Philosophy.
Hi Geeta, Thank you for continuing with this series on Vedas and its revelations. Rini has spelt the word Brahmam correctly, as we pronounce it in Malayalam. So, it the word could be understood distinctly apart from Brahma (in Malayalam, the word is pronounced as Brahmavu) . These two words, as I understand, refer to two different ideas. (Continued)
I thank you Unni for your deep interest in the subject. You make it lively and interesting with your critical appraisal, arguments and ideas. Since you are an expert in Malayalam, you bring in the Kerala version of pronunciation..
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem

hi, geeta! reading this i am reminded of how similar are the biblical and hindu understandings of God. biblically, God is the I Am, the creator (of all) , the only holy (that is, set apart from all else and whose existence depends on no other) . jesus tells us plainly God is spirit, and like the wind (or breath) which is invisible but whose effects can be seen. God is pictured as omnipresent and omnipotent. how similar, yes?
Thank you Glen for a fine review. We may take different roads, but our goals are the same. God bless Glen.
