Inner Yajna, Yajna Performed By The Inner Self......


Photo: Quote From Upanishad :-      Inner Yajna, Yajna Performed By The Inner Self......  ( From Mahanarayana  Upanishad, Anuvak 80 )      " In the case of a man of knowledge (vidhusha), the yajman is his own Self (atma). His faith is his wife; his body is his sacrificial fuel (idhma); his chest (amura) is his altar (vedi); his hairs are his holy grass; the Veda he has learnt is his tuft of hair; his heart is his sacrificial post (yupa); his desire (kama) is his clarified butter (ajyam); his anger is his animal (pashu) to be immolated; his askesis (tapa) is his fire; his sense-control (dama) is his immolator (damah shamayita); his gifts are his daksina; his speech is his hotr priest; his breath(prana)is his udgatr priest; his sight is his adhvaryu priest; his mind is his brahman priest; his hearing is his agnid priest; so long as he is borne (dhriyate), it is his consecration (diksha); what he eats, that is his oblation; what he drinks, that is his drinking of soma juice; when he delights himself, that is his Upasad yajna; when he walk, sit and stand that is his pravargya yajna; that which is his mouth, that is his ahavaniya Fire; that which is his (vyahrti), that is his offering of oblation (ahuti); that which is his knowledge (vijnana), that is what he sacrifices (juhoti); when he eats in the afternoon and forenoon, that is his samidhoma (oblation of fuel in the fire); the three divisions of the day forenoon, midday and evening relating to him are his savanas; the day and night are his darshapurnamasa sacrifices; the half- months and the months are his chaturmasya sacrifice; the seasons are his animal sacrifices; the samvatsaras and the parivatsaras are his ahargana sacrifice; the total sacrifice is, indeed, his sattra; death is the avabhrtha or completion of his sacrifice.”     ( It is anuvaka 64 in the Sayana edition)       "Om Shanti Shanti Shanti"
