MahAvAkyAs Divine pearls


When we dive down deep in to our scriptures, we can find auspicious pearls in the form  Mahaavakyaas. Let us try to appreciate a tiny spec of of the deep meaning and endless beauty of a few. 

1. Eashavaasyamidam sarvam  ईशावास्यमिदं सर्वं    ഇശാവാസ്യമിദം  സർവം 

All this is God indeed or God is everything. 

Then, what is "all this" or "everything"?

2. Sarvam Khalvidam Brahmam सर्वं खल्विदं ब्रह्मं   സർവം ഖല്വിദം ബ്രഹ്മം 

"All this " is Brahmam.

Then how about me?

3. Aham Brahmaasmi अहं ब्रह्मास्मि   അഹം ബ്രഹമാസ്മി 

I am Brahmam.

Then who are "you"

4. Thath thvam asi  तहत त्वं असि   തത് ത്വം  അസി 

You are (also)"that"  or "that" is what you are.

Now, what do you mean by "that"?

5. Ayamaathma brahmam   अयमात्मा ब्रह्मं  അയാമാത്മാ ബ്രഹ്മം 

You are Aathma which is the same as "that" or Brahmam or Aathma and "that" Brahmam are the same.

Which Brahmam?

6. Ekam sad vipra bahudha vadanthi एकं सद  विप्रा बहुधा वदन्ति  ഏകം സത് വിപ്രാ ബഹുധാ വദന്തി 

That Ultimate Truth which is explained as "Truth is One, the wise speak it in different ways."

Shathaabishekam

6/21/08 When is Shathaabhishekam celebrated? When it should be celebrated? We have heard about different versions of when it should be celebrated, when you complete 84 years, or when you complete 81 years and 10 months or when you complete 83 years 4 months. Shathaabhishekam is celebrated when a person sees 1000 full moons lives through 1000 full moons in his life. Since it is a mathematical calculation, there should only be one answer. Then how are we having all these three answers? (It really does not matter when you celebrate, but out of curiosity to know the reason behind the celebration, I did some research and I thought some people may share my curiosity. Of all the explanations I read I liked the one given below.)   Here is a convincing explanation based mainly on a question -answer series in Bhakthapriya magazine published by Guruvayur devaswom.
