INVOCATION TO LORD VAYU

(As both Lord Brahma and Lord Vayu are the sons of Lord Vishnu, the invocation befits for both of them. Please read, comment and share. SDN)

SUMMARY: By performing the Shwasajapa or meditation through inhale and exhale for twenty-one thousand and six hundred times through the three types of beings throughout a Brahmakalpa, Oh Guru and Lord Vayu, you make the life of Satviks most comfortable, provide family life to mixed beings and give unlimited misery to low-level beings; please protect us, Oh Guru Vayu.

COMMENTARY:

The working style of Lord Vayu is beyond imagination. After a soul is given a body by Lord Brahma, Lord Vayu chants the Hamsamantra for 21,600 times a day in every living being and thereby he makes them alive. This is an example of his work culture.

AarumUru = 6 x 3 = 18; Yeradondu = 2 + 1 = 3; AarumUreraDondusAvira = (6x3)=18(2+1=3)x1000=21,000; mUreraDushata = 3x200 = 600; so AarumUreraDondusAviramUreraDushata means 21,600.

The meaning of “Shwasajapa” will be elaborated under the Shwasasandhi to be interpreted later. SAtwarigesuKha means distinct happiness for virtuous. There is no equivalent term in English for Sajjanas.

While Jana is easy to translate like it only means person or persons, Sat, the first part of this word is most challenging to describe in English. It has several meanings like a person, who is truthful, honest, sincere, devoted, dedicated, good, meritorious, righteous, kind, passionate, keen in charity, orthodox, conservative, helping, sympathetic and so on. Lord Vayu not only gives such persons earthly happiness but also ensures Moksha or salvation in the end.

In philosophical language “Sat” are “Sattwam sADhuguNAdviShNuhu” or “SAtvaru”, who are basically devotees of Lord Vishnu.

Another important factor is that ViShNurhi dAtA mOkShasya VAyushcha tadanujnayA”. Vishnu alone can bestow “Moksha” but Vayu too can do under the orders of Vishnu.      

For Rajas people or SamsAra Mishrarige, Lord Vayu gives a family life that is a blend of happiness and unhappiness. The ratio of happiness and unhappiness varies in accordance with the Karmic legacy of each individual. However, devotion to Lord Hari and Lord Vayu will certainly reduce the intensity of unhappiness. However, Moksha is a little far-fetched to this category of people. Adhama janarigapAraduHKhagaLeeva means for people coming in the bracket of “Tamasa”, Lord Vayu givens infinite sorrow. One should not misunderstand this quality or attribute of Lord Vayu. By subjecting such people to indefinite sorrow or unhappiness, Lord Vayu helps them shed the negative energy that they have accumulated due to sins committed in the previous lives or births. This again is subject to the conduct of the person concerned in the present life time. Many opportunities arise in one’s lifetime to understand the secret of life. If no realization occurs and the person goes on committing the same sort of sins, then the soul is not refined. It drowns further into deeper world of misery called Andhatamas.
