Brahmananda Swarupa “ The Whole Existence is an image of the ecstasy of the creator” Embodiments of Divine Love! It is only when the process of creation is understood in terms of the close relationship between the Brahmam (Omni-Self) and man can Brahma-Vidya (the Divine knowledge of the Supreme) be attained. Brahman represents the Infinite. From this Infinite, Akasa (ether or sound) emerged. From Akasa came Vayu (air), from Air, Tejas (Fire), from Tejas, water and from water, the earth. From theearth came the Oshadhayah (herbal plants), from the plants, food, from food, Purusha (man).When the advent of man through this process is understood, it will be clear that man came from the Infinite. Brahmananda The term Brahmananda is a compound word composed of Brahma and Ananda. When this compound word is examined in its two parts, it will be ‘seen that Brahma is different from Ananda. When this Ananda (bliss) is united with Brahmam, it becomes Brahmananda. Hence, it is evident that there is an inextricable association between man and Brahmam (the Omni-Self).
