upadraṣṭā'numantā ca bhartā bhōktā mahēśvaraḥ |

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.
