Gems of Adi Sankaran : Atma shatakam

मनोबुद्धयहंकार चित्तानि नाहं,
न च श्रोत्रजिव्हे न च घ्राणनेत्रे ।
न च व्योम भूमिर्न तेजो न वायुः,
चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहम् शिवोऽहम् ।। 1 ।।

न च प्राणसंज्ञो न वै पंचवायुः,
न वा सप्तधातुः न वा पञ्चकोशः ।
न वाक्पाणिपादं न चोपस्थपायु,
चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहम् शिवोऽहम् ।। 2 ।।

न मे द्वेषरागौ न मे लोभमोहौ,
मदो नैव मे नैव मात्सर्यभावः ।
न धर्मो न चार्थो न कामो न मोक्षः,
चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहम् शिवोऽहम् ।। 3 ।।

न पुण्यं न पापं न सौख्यं न दुःखं,
न मन्त्रो न तीर्थो न वेदा न यज्ञ ।
अहं भोजनं नैव भोज्यं न भोक्ता,
चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहम् शिवोऽहम् ।। 4 ।।

न मे मृत्युशंका न मे जातिभेदः,
पिता नैव मे नैव माता न जन्मः ।
न बन्धुर्न मित्रं गुरूर्नैव शिष्यः,
चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहम् शिवोऽहम् ।। 5 ।।


अहं निर्विकल्पो निराकार रूपो, 
विभुत्वाच सर्वत्र सर्वेन्द्रियाणाम् । 
न चासङत नैव मुक्तिर्न मेयः, 

चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहम् शिवोऽहम् ।। 6 ।।

I have no separation from my true self, no doubt about my existence, nor have I discrimination on the basis of birth. 
I have no father or mother, nor did I have a birth.

Earth's revolution and the yugas

Myth: Earth returns to its starting position when it completes one revolution around the sun

Truth: There is a small displacement that happens during every revolution. The sun itself is not stationary and moves around another point which could be another star/balck hole/white dwarf or any other point which is not clear.

The following video will make you understand what I have written better
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ml4_Jv_HkE.


There are 4 yugas in the mentioned in Hindu philosophy. The yugas are caused because of the changing elliptical path earth keeps taking. The number of years of each yugas in timeline are given in the picture.  The symbols used by Christianity for dividing the time period is also given in the image.




The intent of this post is to collect information in a single place. The references and links for the image used and whatever is written above is given below:

The wood frog..

Wood frogs tolerate the freezing of their blood and other tissues. As the temperature drops below freezing each winter, the wood frog drifts into a deep hibernation, its breathing and heartbeat grind to a halt, and as much as 65% of the water in its body gradually crystallizes into ice.Urea is accumulated in tissues in preparation for overwintering, and liver glycogen is converted in large quantities to glucose in response to internal ice formation. Both urea and glucose act as "cryoprotectants" to limit the amount of ice that forms and to reduce osmotic shrinkage of cells. It spends two or three months of each winter frozen.When spring finally arrives, the ice melts, heartbeat and breathing return, and the frog continues its life.

I Am Not Yours

I am not yours, not lost in you,

Not lost, although I long to be

Lost as a candle lit at noon,

Lost as a snowflake in the sea.

You love me, and I find you still

A spirit beautiful and bright,

Yet I am I, who long to be

Lost as a light is lost in light.

Oh plunge me deep in love -- put out

My senses, leave me deaf and blind,

Swept by the tempest of your love,

A taper in a rushing wind.

- by Sara Teasdale
