      Upanishad 9 - Munindra Misra

      Vedas

      Four Vedas hold the wisdom vast,

      Rig, Yajur, Sama, Atharva cast,

      Each one a treasure from the past,

      Their knowledge wide, insights vast.

      Samhitas chant with holy breath,

      Brahmanas guide the rites of faith,

      Aranyakas for the forest's wraith,

      Upanishads, the soul's true sheath.

      Upasanas, some scholars do say,

      Are a fifth division in the fray,

      Worship's path, in bright array,

      Guiding the devout who pray.

      Shruti they heard, from sages wise,

      Smriti, remembered, under skies,

      Samhitas, Brahmanas, life's ties,

      For householders, they stabilize.

      Aranyakas, when the forests call,

      Upanishads, for those who stall,

      The worldly life, to leave it all,

      For Vānaprastha, Sannyasa's thrall.

      Narayan Upanishad

      Source: Krishna Yajur Veda

      Dedicated to

      Invocation

      Om!

      May Brahman protect us both completely!

      Bestow upon us fruit of Knowledge wholly!

      May we obtain energy to get knowledge truly!

      May what we do study reveal the Truth fully!

      May we have no ill feeling for others actually!

      OM! PEACE! PEACE! PEACE!

      Let peace be in environment and me!

      Let peace be in forces acting on me!

      Let there be Peace totally completely!

      OM!

      English rhyme

      I will tell you about that knowledge very clearly,

      Of Narayan principle with the aspects three,

      Knowing which Maya (illusion) vanishes fully,

      And all that which happens due to Maya truly.

      Om!

      PART 1

      Narayan desiring to create the people worldly,

      Due to this thought, Prana rose in him simply,

      Sky, air, light, water, earth, mind, parts of body,

      Which carries them all - beings took form clearly.

      From Narayan, Brahma and Rudra but born be,

      From Narayan, Indra and who rule man born be.

      From Him 12 suns, 7 Rudras, 8 Vasus, meter be,

      Rig Veda says all function, end in Narayan truly.

      PART 2

      Narayan perennial, Brahma, Shiv, Indra, Kaal be,

      All the directions, all sides are Narayan certainly,

      The inside and outside is Narayan incontrovertibly,

      What happened, is and will happen, Narayan be.

      He blemish less, stainless, order less, endless be,

      He indescribable, when there, there no second be,

      He who knows this, becomes himself Lord Vishnu.

      Thus is read, the Upanishads of Yajur Veda surely.

      PART 3

      State Om first, then Nama, then Narayan truly,

      Om 1, Nama 2 and Narayan of 5 letters does be,

      Together of eight letters Om Namo Narayan be.

      Who states them, attains life without blemish finally.

      He gets salvation after being people’s lord clearly,

      And he is blessed with lots of wealth assuredly,

      Lots of cows, all other forms of riches, prosperity.

      Thus is read the Upanishads of Sama Veda surely.

      PART 4

      That ever happy Brahma Purusha as Pranav be,

      Om which made of joining Aa, Uu, Ma" truly,

      That Pranav growing in several ways Om be,

      Yogi who meditates on it attains salvation surely.

      Who meditates on Om Namo Narayanay truly,

      Reaches Vaikunta, abode of Lord Vishnu surely,

      That Vaikunta, Hrudaya Kamala, lotus as heart be,

      Eternal wisdom filled, a light streak as lightning be.

      Devaki’s son, Madhu Sudhana, the Brahman be,

      Lotus eyed, Vishnu, Achyutha, That Purusha be,

      Narayan, existence reason, Om, Para Brahman be,

      Thus is read the Upanishads of Atharva Veda truly.

      PART 5

      Who reads it in the morning, destroys sins fully,

      That he had committed at the night previously,

      Who reads it in the evening destroys sins surely,

      That he has committed during day time clearly.

      Who reads it at noon addressing Sun earnestly,

      Gets rid of the five great sins and sins subsidiary,

      He also gets the effect of reading all Vedas holy,

      He becomes one with Lord Narayan eventually.

      Peace Chant

      Om!

      May Brahman protect us both completely!

      Bestow upon us fruit of Knowledge wholly!

      May we obtain energy to get knowledge truly!

      May what we do study reveal the Truth fully!

      May we have no ill feeling for others actually!

      OM! PEACE! PEACE! PEACE!

      Let peace be in environment and me!

      Let peace be in forces acting on me!

      Let there be Peace totally completely!

      OM!

      Chapter 1

      Hari Om!

      Hari Om, the seeker's call,

      To Brahma's wisdom, open to all,

      Narada's plea for knowledge so bright,

      To cleanse the sins, bring Brahman to light.

      Hayagreeva, Lord of the mind,

      Salvation for all, in you, we find,

      King of Knowledge, so vast and deep,

      Your blessings, we pray to keep.

      Rig, Yajur, Sama Vedas' form,

      From celestial realms, you brought the norm,

      Pranava's song, a horse-headed guide,

      To you, our salutations, we can't hide.

      Teach us, O Lord, beyond our thought,

      The Vedas' essence, which you have brought,

      God of words, in Pranava's tune,

      Grant us wisdom, be it night or noon.

      In the mantra of twenty-nine,

      Sages and meters align so fine,

      Hayagreeva, the divine root,

      Strength and nail, in pursuit.

      Moon's glitter in your gaze,

      Holding symbols of ancient days,

      Conch, wheel, stamp, and lore,

      In your hands, wisdom's core.

      The mantra's call, a sacred plea,

      For knowledge, wealth, and clarity,

      Om Sreem, lhowm, to Hayagreeva we bow,

      For medham, pragnam, here and now.

      In twenty-eight letters, the mantra's sung,

      A divine request on every tongue,

      Sreem, Im, Kleem, Sow, Hreem's flow,

      To Hayagreeva, our reverence we show.

      Chapter 2

      In the sacred sound’s embrace,

      Where mantras crown the kings,

      The letter Lhoum (hsoum), with force it rings.

      Sovereign of roots, in chants divine,

      Hayagreeva’s wisdom, in hearts enshrine.

      Lhoum (hsoum) Amrutham Kuru Swaha, to heavens it climbs,

      Bestowing mastery of speech, wealth, and times.

      Eightfold powers within grasp, mantra's potent rite,

      On spiritual wings, we soar to height.

      Lhoum (hsoum) Sakala Samrajya Sidhim Kuru Kuru Swaha,

      Mantra murmurs Vedic truths, in its shastra.

      Pragnanam Anandam Brahma, divine
