Namaskar Mahatmas!

Recalling the names……

• Ahah – ‘day time’; the One ever effulgent and bright; One who is time Himself
• Samvatsarah – One who is of the nature of the year; from whom the time arises
• Vyaalah – One who has no devotion or understanding, the Lord is as horrible and terrible as a serpent; ever eluding, always slippery – difficult to understand.
• Pratyayah – One whose very nature is knowledge
• Sarvadarshanah – ‘All-seeing’; One who has surrendered to Him sees Him everywhere and in everything.

AJAH SARVESVARAH SIDDHAH SIDDHI SARVAADIR ACHYUTAH

AJAH: Ajah means ‘unborn’. Birth is a modification of a body and birth cannot be without the death of the previous condition. The Lord is Eternal and the Infinite. Since the Lord is changeless, there can neither be birth or death. He is unborn. He is always there. Bhagavad Gita tells us that: “That which is born must necessarily die; and so that which is unborn should be deathless (Amritah)” Lord Krishna explains further that we cannot make out the middle of Him (To know the middle we should know the beginning and the end).

SARVESVARAH: ‘He is the Lord of all’. He is the Supreme Controller of all. He is the God of all Gods. He is All-powerful.

SIDDHAH: One who has achieved all that has to be achieved, as the Lord Himself is the Final Goal for all of us. We often use the term ‘Prasiddhah’ which means ‘the most famous’.

SIDDHIH: Siddhi means ‘fruit of action’. In Gita it has been clearly explained that: Karmas can acquire for us only relative joys of the heavens but in realizing the Self, the seeker gains an ‘Infinite state from which there is no return’. The Lord is the one who gives us the Infinite fruit of Kaivalya, Moksha. All the tapas, austerities one undergoes definitely results in some super natural powers. But the Moksha or liberation is the state which is beyond all these powers. The ultimate Siddhih is the Lord Himself.

SARVAADIH: The Lord is the One cause of many effects. The Lord is the one who is the very beginning (Aadi) of all. He is the Moola-kaaranaa, the Primary cause. Other than Him, everything is an effect.

ACHYUTAH: Chyutah = fallen; Achyutah = one who has never fallen. Fallen’ is always used in a negative aspect. Here it denotes the state of ignorance; the Samsaara Saagaram. Wherever there is knowledge, there cannot be ignorance. Where there is light, there cannot be darkness. Ignorance can never pollute the Pure Knowledge in any way because it doesn’t exist when He is there. In Bhagavatham, the Lord Himself says that: “I have never ever before fallen from my Real Nature; therefore I am Achyutah”.

Hari Om Mahatmas!
