Brabmagnane dwitiya
paryayaha (Second Attempt at
Brahmagnana)
Mantra: Pranobrahmeti vyajanath prnadhyeva khalivimani
bhutani jaayanti
Following the instructions of his father Varuna, sage Bhrugu performed
tapas for knowing the Brahman. As the creation, protection.and destruction of
the universe are dictated by Prana, he concluded that Prana itself is the Brahman But again a doubt
dogged him. Since Prana is ‘jada’-without awareness or chaitanya and the
Brahman full of awareness and chaitanya, he concluded that Prana cannot be
equated with the Brahman.He again requested his father, Varuna to instruct him
on the Brahman.Varuna again bade his son to perform tapas and realize the
Brahman. He reiterated that tapas itself is the Brahman. Accordingly sage
Bhrugu performed tapas.
Sruthipramana
for Prana being the cause for creation, protection, and destruction of the
universe:
