Description

prAtaHsmaraNastotram - Adi sha~NkarAchArya virachitam -

praataH smaraami hRRidi saMsphuradaatmatattvaM
sachchitsukhaM paramahaMsagatiM turIyam |
yastu prajaagarasuShuptamavaiti nityaM
tadbrahma niShkalamahaM na cha bhuutasa~NghaH ||

At dawn I remember the Reality which is the Self,
shining brilliantly in the heart, existence-consciousness-happiness,
the goal of Paramahamsasannyasins (sages), the Fourth;
That which knows always the states of dream, waking and deep-sleep,
that Brahman which is partless I am, not the cluster of elements.


praatarbhajaami manasaaM vachasaamagamyaM
vaacho vibhaanti nikhilaa yadanugraheNa |
yanneti neti vachanairnigamaa avochaM\-
staM devadevamajamachyutamaahuragryam ||

At dawn I sing the praise of That which is unattainable
by mind and speech, but by the grace of which all words
shine. That which the scriptures declares through the
words `not this', `not this'- That God of gods, they say,
is unborn and un-changing.


praatarnamaami tamasaH paramarkavarNaM
puurNaM sanaatanapadaM puruShottamaakhyam |
yasminnidaM jagadasheShamasheShamuurtau
rajjvaaM bhuja~Ngama iva pratibhaasitaM vai ||

At dawn I bow to that which is called the
Highest Self which is beyond darkness, of the hue
of the Sun the ancient goal which is the plenum -
That, the residueless form (i.e. the whole) in which
the entire universe is made manifest like a serpent in a rope.


shlokatrayamidaM puNyaM lokatrayavibhUuuShaNam |
praataHkaale paThedyastu sa gachchhetparamaM padam ||

This meritorious triad of verses, the ornament of
the three worlds - he who reads at the time of dawn goes to the supreme goal.

Re: Gita Satsangh, Chapter 4, Verse 13
IMHO the issue resolves when one chooses the mode of 'samnyas' - 1) in spirit, 2) in form &  3) both in form & spirit. Through FORM one can move to SPIRIT.
