'There is no need to go in great search of the Self.
It is above, below, aft and fore, to the left and right.
Begin with purity of food.
In due time, purity of consciousness will happen.
Contemplation will follow.
And soon enough, one will experience absorption in the Self,." says Sanat Kumara in Chandogya Upanishad.
'He is Skanda!
He is Skanda!,'
proclaims the Upanishad.
Chandogya Awastha has morphed into 'Zenda Avesta' of the Zorastrians.
Paarsi dharma is alll about fire worship.
Someone who hailed from Sau-rashtra region, is it's founder.
Saurashtrar became Zororhushtra.
'Saura' indicates the Sun.
Sun, fire and poetic meter Gayatri, are special forms of Shambu, says Sancara in 'Prashna-uttara-ratna - malika'.
'Skanda is the flame of consciousness, that dispels darkness,' says Chandogya Upanishad..
Vedic dharma is fundamentally a fire worshipper's path.
The very first word in the Vedic scripture is 'Agni' or fire.
Everyday fire rituals at home, are known as Oupasana.
And these daily rituals, are common, to all hues of people.
- Shri Chandrashekarendra Saraswati, Kanchi
