VAJASANEYI    SAMHITA    UPANISHAD



Mantram-14.


 Discussion-7. "Sixth  wave  of  thought" .....



Now  we  have  come  to  the  sixth  wave  of  thought  in  the  entire  Upanishad  which,  to  many
of  its  critics,  is  given  an  interpolation!



The  eminent  commentators  like  Swami Sri  Adi  Sankaracharya,  and  others,  "It  is  a  prayer  of  a  dying  person  on  his/her  death-bed"

Orthodax  Hindu  families  repeat  these  Mantra-s  in  the  ears  of  the  dying  persons.

But  very  few  of  them  seem  to  understand  correctly  the  true  import  and  implication  of  these  Mantra-s.



That,  in  the  very  first  of  the  Upanishads,**  we  have  three  noble  Mantra-s  of  prayer  is  itself  a  hooting  satire  at  the  thoughtless-ness  of  those  who  criticise  Vedantham  as  opposed  to  Bhakti.


These  three  Mantram-s  are  an  inner  evidence  in  the  very  Upanishad  to  show  that  the  Upanishad  Seers  were  not  in  any  sense  of  the  term,  opposed  to  the  belief,  faith  and  devoted  pursuit  of  a  Personal-God.
