01:12 Oct 14, 2021
'Meaning of the Sloka:   This sloka is from Bhagavad Gita which says about the Transcedental Knowledge. brahmarpanam brahma havir brahmagnau brahmana hutam brahmaiva tena gantavyam brahma-karma-samadhina   SYNONYMS: brahma—spiritual nature; arpanam—contribution; brahma—the Supreme; havih—butter; brahma—spiritual; agnau—in the fire of consummation; brahmana—by the spirit soul; hutam—offered; brahma—spiritual kingdom; eva—certainly; tena—by him; gantavyam—to be reached; brahma—spiritual; karma—activities; samadhina—by complete absorption.   TRANSLATION A person who is fully absorbed in Krishna consciousness is sure to attain the spiritual kingdom because of his full contribution to spiritual activities, in which the consummation is absolute and that which is offered is of the same spiritual nature. Brahmārpañam Brahma Havir Brahmāgnau Brahmañāhutaṃ | Brahmaiva Tena Gantavyam Brahmakarmā Samādhinah ||   The source to this description: https://asitis.com/4/24.html   Another Interpretation:  The whole creation being the gross projection of Bramham, the Cosmic Consciousness itself; the food too is Bramham, the process of offering it is Bramhan; it is being offered in the fire of Brahman. He who thus sees Brahman is action, reaches Bramham alone.   Aham Vaishvānaro Bhutvā Prāñinām Ḍehamāshritaha | Prāñāpāna Samāyuktah Pachāmyannam Chaturvidham ||  I, the Supreme Spirit, abiding in the body of living beings as the Fire (Vaiswanara) in their stomach I am associated with their Praana and Apaana, digest the four type of foods (solids, fluids, semi-fluid and liquid) which they eat.   source: https://asaidevotee.blogspot.com/2017/07/sloka-brahmarpanam-food-prayer.html'
