    jyōtiṣāmapi tajjyōtistamasaḥ paramucyatē.

    jñānaṅ jñēyaṅ jñānagamyaṅ hṛdi sarvasya viṣṭhitam

    It is the light of all lights. It is said to be beyond ignorance. It is knowledge, the object of knowledge, and the goal of knowledge, present in the heart of all.



    ज्योतिषामपि तज्ज्योति :

    Light is Consciousness Principle

    Presence of Light- All is known

    Absence of Light - Inert thing- nothing is known

    Consciousness principle gives meaning to

    Brain, Sense organs, Sun ,Moon, Stars,Lightning

    Light of Light — Jyotisham api jyoti


    तमस: परमुच्यते।

    TamasahParamuchyate

    Sunlight cannot illumine Darkness/ Can take away darkness - Mr. Sun and Miss. Darkness

    Light of Consciousness - unique- You can know /be aware of Darkness

    Consciousness co - exist with darkness

    Param = unopposed= Absolute — is the Light of Consciousness


    ज्ञानं ज्ञेयं ज्ञानगम्यं

    jñānaṃ jñēyaṃ jñānagamyaṃ

    Sat Chit Brahman alone is in form of everything

    Formless Existence Consciousness- appears Formed Universe

    Intangible energy to tangible matter

    Non-tangible Brahman to tangible universe = Jagat Karanam


    ज्ञानं ज्ञेयं ज्ञानगम्यं

    jñānaṃ jñēyaṃ jñānagamyaṃ


    हृदि सर्वस्य विष्ठितम्

    hṛdisarvasyaviṣṭhitam

    Sat Chit Atma is everywhere

    Electricity and plug point

    Hridi is Mind

    Param ātmēti cāp yuktō dēhē'smin puruṣaḥ paraḥ || 13.23 ||


    पर पुरुष para puruṣaḥ The supreme Puruṣa अिस्मन देहे asmin dehe in this body उक्त इ�त

    uktaḥ iti is said to be उपद्रष upadraṣṭā the proximate witness,अनुमन्त anumantā the

    permitter, gives permission. भतार bhartā the sustainer भॊक्त bhoktā the experiencer

    महॆश्वर च maheśvaraḥ ca the great Lord, अ􀍪प च परमात्म api ca paramātmā and the

    supreme Self


    23. The supreme Puruṣa in this body is said to be the proximate witness, the

    supporter, the sustainer, the experiencer, the great Lord, and the supreme Self.


    Atma Swaroopa

    •After Vishwa roopa Ishwara Darshana, Lord Krishna is taking us deeper into Atma Roopa Ishwara Darshana

    •It is easy to accept universe as God

    •Are we ready to know the God Inside Us?

    Buckle Up and Be ready for Journey of Life Time


    God In Us- Where is he?


    Is Atma an energy? Medium? space? No

    Maheśvaraḥ - the Real Lord- Free, Not dependent

    Ishvara= Brahman+ Maya

    •In His Mere Presence, This world, Body, Mind, Thoughts become enlivened (sānidhya mātrēṇa)

    •All energy, space have attributes and limitations but God is beyond limitations – Para

    •Because of his blessing- Thoughts- good/Bad becomes sentient, the body- world comes into existence- Anumanta

    •Ramanashree Hand story


    God alone Exists- Mahavakya

    •This is possible only if God Is both

    •Same Maheshwara is both Jeevatma and paramatma

    •Paramātma iti ukta- MAHAVAKYA.

    The supreme Puruṣa (supreme Self) in this body is the real seer, the supporter, the sustainer, the experiencer,


    He is Dehi in deha = Sarvam bramhamaya Jagat

    Be careful Jeevatma is not equal to paramatma (essential nature- Atma is same)


    •He is beyond cause effect and Beyond time-, past, future and Now

    •In fact Time and space rests in him

    •This Knowledge is not experiential, It is Transformational.

    upadraṣṭā'numantā ca

    bhartā bhōktā mahēśvaraḥ |

    paramātmēti cāpyuktō dēhē'smin puruṣaḥ paraḥ



    From Kenopanishad

    upadraṣṭā'numantā ca bhartā bhōktā mahēśvaraḥ |

    paramātmēti cāpyuktō dēhē'smin puruṣaḥ paraḥ |

    kēnēṣitaṁ patati prēṣitaṁ manaḥ kēna prāṇaḥ prathamaḥ praiti yuktaḥ = Anumanta Permitter/Nourisher

    Driven by what does the mind descend on things? Enjoined with what does the vital breath operate? Driven by what such words are spoken? What divine force is directing the eyes, ears?


    Teacher answers- shrotasya shrotam- He is the Ear of the ear, mind of the mind ,the Speech of the speech, ------- knows the real and gives up self-identification from this body, empirical world , they become one with Brahman


    13.24 He who knows thus Puruṣa and prakṛti along with the guṇas, is not born

    again, in whatever manner he lives.
