Rakṣoghna-mantras

 

Rakṣoghna-mantras literally means ‘mantras that destroy evil spirits’.

Prayers addressed to deities like Agni or Indra and Soma to ward off such evil spirits are found in quite a few places in the Ṛgveda. These hymns are known as Rakṣoghna-mantras.

Chanting of Rakṣoghna-mantras

They are chanted at the appropriate places in sacrifices like:

• Consecrating a newly-built house
• Prevent abortion in a woman who has conceived
• Others

Classification of Rakṣoghna-mantras

These mantras can be classified into 5 groups.

First Group

The first group comprises of 15 mantras. They are all addressed to Agni as Rakṣohā. He is compared to a king going on invasion for conquest and requested to destroy the rākṣasas or demons.

Second Group

The second group has 25 mantras. They are addressed to Indra, Soma, Agni and Maruts. Here also the prayers are addressed for the total annihilation of rākṣasas and asuras by pushing them into the nether worlds from where there is no return.

Third Group

The third group is made of 25 mantras. They are addressed to Agnī Rakṣohā with a request to burn up all the evil spirits who are trying to disturb the Vedic sacrifices.

Fourth Group

The fourth group has 9 mantras. It also addresses the Agnī Rakṣohā and praises him. He is then requested to destroy the female fiends called Yātudhānīs.

Fifth Group

This is the last group having only 6 mantras. These mantras contains a special prayer indirectly addressed to Agni to destroy all the diseases in a pregnant woman so that abortion or miscarriage is prevented.

The rainwater falls equally upon the earth.  Yet, the drop that falls on the cornfields gets converted into grain; the drop that falls on the desert bush gets converted into a thorn; the drop that falls in the gutter becomes dirty water; and the drop that falls in the oyster becomes a pearl.  There is no partiality on the part of the rain, since it is equitable in bestowing its grace upon the land.  The raindrops cannot be held responsible for this variation in results, which are a consequence of the nature of the recipient.  Similarly, God states here that He is equally disposed toward all living beings, and yet, those who do not love Him are bereft of the benefits of His grace because their hearts are unsuitable vessels for receiving it.

greater than smaller than.

 a leaf even dry, dropped, has no independent existence for its birth growth decay .

it's finally a part of the infinite universe,

if it drops where can it go , except to the earth? 
where is the earth,? 

it's not independent of galaxy, which is again not independent of the sky, 
we feel sun and stars are remote as if of no concern, but they are a part of the whole , without them , i cannot imagine my existence , my birth even 

why to look my house is only the four walls, when the city is mine, the country, when the earth, when the universe is really is mine , it's really my universe, like my body and limbs
my whole personality is not limited to some feet height, it is far far , it is all every one of us is really parts of one another , no separate 

i am there , since you are all there , since the whole universe is there
i am alive since the universe is alive

leaf is alive, since the tree is alive 
there is no need for leaf thinking that it is leaf 
where is it's beginning and end ?
even earth holding the tree is a part of tree part of leaf .
every dust particle is part of infinity , even in vastu shastra if you do not know the meaning of this phrase you cannot understand the science.

The Implications of Anoraniyan Mahato Mahiyan As Related to Vaastu Science ...

it's existing since universe is existing 
so dust particle can claim ''i am the universe''

Therefore, in the Vedic language God is described,
anor aniyan mahato mahiyan:
“He is greater than the greatest and smaller than the smallest 

Mahato mahīyān means greater than the greatest, and aṇor aṇīyān, and smaller than the smallest.

What is the difference between Supersoul and individual soul? One is very small, minute, and the other is very big. God is great. Aṇor aṇīyān mahato mahīyān, God is greater than the greatest. You can conceive in your idea, the greatness of something, but God is still greater. And you can conceive the smallest—just like the atom—yet God is smaller than the atom. That is God. Not that He's only the great, but He is the smallest also. Aṇor aṇīyān mahato mahīyān. Mahato mahīyān means greater than the greatest, and aṇor aṇīyān, and smaller than the smallest. We cannot imagine the dimension of the atom, or you can imagine, but still God is smaller than that. This is the position of God. So He has got His form, as the atom has got form. Similarly, within the atom, God has got form, and as this whole universe has got form, that God has also got form. When there is a statement in the Vedic language that God has no form, it does not mean God has no form, but He has form which you cannot imagine. That is called formless. Actually God is not formless, but what is that form, you cannot imagine. Because He is greater than the greatest and smaller than the smallest.

Mahato mahīyān means greatest of the great, and aṇor aṇīyān, the smallest of the small.

So Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu; then next Viṣṇu, the third incarnation, is Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu. Within this universe there is a planet near the polestar which is called Kṣīrodakaśāyī planet, and there Lord Viṣṇu in His incarnation of antaryāmi, Supersoul... He is acting as the Supersoul. And He is the universal form. When you think of universal form of the Lord, that is the manifestation of this Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu. And that Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu as Paramātmā, Supersoul, is situated in everyone's heart, even within the atom also. Aṇḍāntara-stha-paramāṇu-cayāntara-stham (Bs. 5.35). Paramāṇu means atom. Within the atom also. We think of God as very great, universal form, but God can take also form less than the atom. That is God's power. He is not only great, greatest, but He is the smallest. Aṇor aṇīyān mahato mahīyān. Mahato mahīyān means greatest of the great, and aṇor aṇīyān, the smallest of the small. We cannot think how small He can become. That is His inconceivable potency. So within this material world, He is within the atom, and He is within everyone's heart, in everywhere, all-pervading, and at the same time universal form, the biggest form.

Mahato mahīyān means greater than the greatest and the smaller than the smallest.

The Supersoul is within the aṇḍa. Aṇḍa means brahmāṇḍa, universe, and everybody up to the atom. He's within the atom also. Paramāṇu. Paramāṇu means atom. The Supersoul is within the atom. That is the power of God. He can become bigger than the universe. He can put many millions of universes within His belly. At the same time, He can enter within the atom. Aṇor aṇīyān mahato mahīyān. Mahato mahīyān means greater than the greatest and the smaller than the smallest. So in this way, first realization, Brahman, impersonal. Then next higher realization is Paramātmā, Supersoul. Brahman realization more or less realized by philosophical speculation, and Paramātmā realization is achieved more or less by meditation. But Bhagavān realization is transcendental devotion. That is beyond the philosophical speculation and mental meditation, beyond.

In the Vedic language God and the realized individuals are  described as “anor aniyan mahato mahiyan” (Katha Upanisad 1-2-20), meaning “God is smaller than the smallest and greater than the greatest.” This means that whether something is extremely large or infinitesimal, it is still made of the same divine source.  God is present everywhere and in everyone.
Paradigm Shift
Quantum physicists, neuroscientists, psychologists and mystics have evolved to the point where a significant paradigm shift is happening as predicted by Dr Amit Goswami, endowed with a Rishis insight: “While mainstream science remains materialist, a substantial number of scientists are supporting and developing a paradigm based on the primacy of consciousness…”  Goswami is convinced that the universe, in order to exist, requires a conscious sentient being to be aware of it.
The universe is and can be viewed as symbiotically and totally unbroken, interconnected, highly networked, integrated, and harmonized.  The entire universe is contained holographically in each of its parts, unifying matter, energy and consciousness by systems, subsystems and sub, sub, systems at macro and at micro levels through nonlocal, local, vacuum energy, strings and other entities yet to be understood or to be established.
The consciousness that comprises the universe can be tapped into by practicing the yogic art of laser focusing of the mind through Gayatri Mantra, leading to downloading of the contents of transcendent domains through tuned resonant circuits by kindling one’s mind there while tending towards Brahmatejas (the effulgence of Brahman),
The Gayatri Mantra (GM)
The Gayatri Mantra is a highly revered mantra in Hiduism, based on a Vedic Sanskrit verse from a hymn of the Rigveda (3-62-10):and is universal in its directive “Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat” meaning let our Buddhi/Mind Complex (BMC)  be kindled
Om Bhur Bhuvah Svaha
Tat Savitur Varenyam
Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi
Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat.

The meaning of GM is this: let the omnipresent, primordial force, Brahman, govern our BMC.  Swami Vivekananda paraphrased the GM as follows: “We meditate on the glory of that Being who has produced this universe; may He enlighten our minds.”
The Gayatri Mantra (GM) is said to enable one to tune to this field and if tuned up as prescribed, will ultimately make anyone realize that he is none else than that primordial force:
“My dear boy, when a man dies, his voice is absorbed (sampad) into the mind, his mind into breath, breath into light, heat and light, and heat into the highest substance. This finest essence—the whole universe has it as its Self; that is the Real: that is the Self: That you are, Svetaketu!”  ~ Chandogya Upanishad 6-8-7
Anyone can profit from kindling his BMC, gradually shedding his ego, greed etc. By chanting the Gayatri  Mantra, one can tend to achieve Brahmatejas and for the mundane world, collectively a better place to live in.
Ashtanga Yoga
GM paves the way and opens the door for Ashtanga Yoga, which aims at the final state of spiritual absorption through eight component parts. The eight limbs of Yoga according to Patanjali taken together is called as Raja Yoga. The eight limbs are:
Yama aims at internal purification or moral code
Niyama aims at external purity or personal discipline
Asana consists in the performance of the postures of Yoga
Pranayama is breath control
Pratyahara results from the withdrawal of sense organs from the corresponding sense objects
Dharana is concentration
Dhyana is meditation
Samadhi is the final state of spiritual absorption
The first five steps are the preliminaries promoting Samanya (normal) Dharma, infusing and elevating the personality of individuals.
These five steps are within the reach of most of the people to usher all its unlimited worldly benefits. Such individuals forming sizable groups in every nation and across the globe will be eligible citizens of “VASUDEVA KUTUMBAM” (the world as one family).  After the family acquires a critical mass, it will set up its own chain reaction to multiply its growth exponentially and in the process gradually and eventually eradicating ethnic, religious, and political tensions that fuel violence and conflict between individuals, communities and nations.
Such a trend is now seen picking up globally stemming out of all-round increasing frustrations. Many right thinking people and institutions are very earnestly involved in integrating massive network of brains to input positive emotions and to cultivate “do good” attitudes as a global mass movement. Of them, the most prominent one is the “Quantum Activists” movement, catalyzed and led by Dr. Amit Goswami.
That is why it is said that in earlier Yugas, (cosmological time cycle of Hindus) there was profound happiness, peace, prosperity, health, and all round fragrance as those who lived then is attributed to have lead a highly Dharma life, (forming and inputting benevolent Strings instead of malevolent ones of the present days) creating a better world, each previous Yuga being better than the succeeding Yuga. Garbage in garbage out phenomena is thus conspicuous.
Unity Consciousness
British historian, Arnold J. Toynbee, wrote the following regarding the Hindu philosophy of life and its culture: “We witness such unique mental approach and consciousness among Indians as may help humanity progress like a family unit. If we do not wish to perish in this atomic age, we have no other alternative left.”
According to David Pratt in his article “David Bohm and the Implicate Order,” Bohm believed that the general tendency for individuals, nations, races, social groups, etc., to see one another as fundamentally different and separate was a major source of conflict in the world. It was Boehm’s hope that one day people would come to recognize the essential interrelatedness of all things and would join together to build a more holistic and harmonious world. What better tribute to David Boehm’s life and work than to take this message to heart and make the ideal of universal brotherhood the keynote of our lives.
In his introduction to the book The Highest State of Consciousness, editor John White said:
“If the border between self and environment can be made to disappear, this is likely to have profound effects on man’s attitude to his environment, both social and physical. If the self is experienced as actually embracing other people, self-consciousness becomes social consciousness.”
Such words match in spirit, if not in letter, the profound sayings of the Upanishads: Yas-tu sarvani bhutani Atmani-evanupasyati, Sarva-bhuteshu catmanam tato no vijugupsate.Yasmin-sarvani bhutani Atmai-vabhudvijanathah,Tatra ko mohah kah sokah ekatamanupasyathah (Isa up), which means: He who sees all beings in his own self and his own self in all beings, he does not feel any revulsion to any being.
Dr.S. Radhakrishnan, one of the most profound philosophers of the 20th century, author, educator and past president of India advocated the world embrace the Indian approach in order to save humanity:
“Today, the western scientific progress has physically united the world. It has not only got rid of the ‘space’ factor, it has also equipped the various countries of the world with deadly arms. But they have not yet learnt the art of knowing and loving one another. If we want to save humanity at this most critical juncture, the only option is the Indian approach. India has a perception of life force and has a vital role to play in the performance of human conduct, which will be beneficial not only to India but to the whole world in the present sorry state of affairs.”
Gayatri Mantra only deals with nature and we all of us are part of it. GM is therefore an universal tool to cut across borders, shattering barricades, has the potential to generate Viswa Mitras (meaning friends of the world) and can create a better world to live in manned by evolved souls of 

VASUDEVAKUTUMBAM which is “Quantum Activism”
