VIRATA PURUSHA
Think on the Virata Purusha
This Virata Purusha is enveloped by the seven Avaranas.
Prithvi, the earth
Appu, Water
Teajas, Fire
Vayu, Air.
Akasha, Ether
Ahamattva
Mahattattva
This Virata Purusha has the Patala in the soles of his feet
Rasatala as his feet
Mahatala as his heels
Sutola as his knees
Vitala and Sthala as his Thighs
Bhutala as his waist
The sky is his stomach,
Svarloka which is all light is his chest
Maharloka is his neck
Jana is his face
Tapaloka is his forehead
Satyaloka comprises his many heads
The Devas led by Indira form his hands
The four quarters are his ears
The Ashvins are his Nostrils
Fire is his mouth
Sun is his eyes
Day and Night are the Eye Lashes of the Virata Purusha
Water forms his Palate
The sense of taste forms his tongue.
The Vadas are his head
Yama is his teeth
Maya is his smile
Creation is the glance from his eyes
The sea forms his stomach
Mountains are his bones
The rivers are the veins in the body
Trees are the hair covering him.
Time is his stride.
Air, his Breath
The world with its myraid quaities, his sport.
The clouds are his looks
The evening is his clothing
The Avyakta, the unmanifested is his heart
The moon is His mind
Rudra is his Ego.
Swayambu Manu is his intellect
Ghandarvas, Charanas, and the Apsaras are the musical notes and the Smritis.
These are the words from the Vedas thar describe the Virata Purusha. Concentrate on this form of the Lord.
Those who have mastered this should then invoke the form of the Lord and see it in their hearts. They see the form of Narayana lying on the immense snake called Anantha.
When the mind is stilled and hushed by concentration, Man can see this form in his mind. After this is acheived, life leaves the body easily and reaches the Lord. Before this last stage Dharana, man should spend all his time listening to the stories of the Lord. Man's ears will be just holes in his head if he does not use them to drink in the praises of the Lord. As for his tongue, if it does not sing the glories of Narayana, it is no different from the tongue of a frog which croaks during the rainy season. The head is but a burden if it does not bend at the feet of Narayana. The hands beautiful, with many jewelled bracelets and perfumed with sandal paste, will still be just the arms of a corpse if they do not worship Narayana with flowers. The eyes which do not drink in the beauty of his image are like the eyes on the plumage of a peacock. The feet which do not travel to holy spots are like the roots of a tree.
