Atharvane  yam  pravadeta  brahma- tharva

tam  purova-cangire  brahma-vidyam

sa  bharadvajaya  satyavahaya

praha  bharadvajo-ngirase  pravaram.


The very knowledge which Brahmaji  taught  to Atharva,  he taught  it  to  Angi in ancient days: and he taught  it  to Rishi  Satyavaha---of the Bharadvaja clan and Satyavaha  taught  it  to  Angira--the knowledge  was  so  handed  down  from  the  greater (teacher ) to the lesser ( disciple ).

 ================================================================ =============================================================== Saturday, April 02, 2022. 19:30. Post- 5. ================================================================ Chapter-1. Section-1. Mantram-5.  ============================================================== "Tatrapara Rg-vedo yajur-vedah  sama-vedo'tharva-vedah siksa  kalpo vyakaranam niruktam chando jyotisam-iti,  atha para yaya tad aksaram adhigamyate." (1.1.5).  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Very interesting! It gives a blow at the very root of our imagination that the Vedas are the highest knowledge. The Rigveda Samhitas, and everything connected to the Rigveda, such as the Brahmanas, and the Yajurveda, Samaveda and Atharvaveda, are all lower knowledge only, my dear friend. There are four Vedas. The Rigveda consists of hymns, prayers, mantras. The Yajur...

Mundakopanishad Chapter 3,  Section 1, Mantram-4 Supreme knower of Brahmam. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter -3, Section -1, Mantram -4. (Supreme knower of Brahmam.) "Prano hy esa yah sarva-bhitair vibhati  vijanan vidvan bhavate nativadi,  atma-krida atma-ratih kriyava -  nesa brahma-vidam varisthah." (3.1.4):  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This great Hiranyagarbha Prana, the Universal life principle, is visible in the form of the life of every little creature in this world. Having known this, our mouths are shut and we will not speak afterwards. Like a drowning person whose mouth is filled with water, Eternity will fill us to such an extent that we will have no occasion to open our mouths, ...

====================================================================== ======================================================================== Wednesday, September 21, 2022. 06:00 Chapter-1, Section-2, Mantram-7. POST-14. ======================================================================== Mantram-7. Criticism of rituals-devoid of knowledge (upasana) Plavā hy ete adṛḍhā yajña-rūpā aṣṭādaśoktam avaram yeṣu karmā etac chreyo ye'bhinandanti mūḍhāḥ jarā-mṛtyuṁ te punar evāpiyanti (1.2.7).  Unreliable boats are these on which you try to cross the ocean of samsara in the form of yajna, or sacrifice. These boats in the form of yajnas, or sacrifices, are like bubbles. They will burst one day, and you cannot entirely rely on them forever because these forces, called apurva in the language of the Mimamsa Shastra, which are responsible for lifting you up to the region of Indra, or to even higher regions, lose their potency one day. It is like sitting in a rocket going up by using fuel, a...
