What is Omkari?
1.
"Light" - to do with the Hindu concept of 'Goddess' - the 'tri-goddess' - Durga Lakshmi Saraswathi - epitomising the complete woman! Capturing strength, courage, knowledge, arts, abundance in wealth & of course inner and outer beauty! OMkari
"SHE is OmkAri
The primal praNava
The beautiful lady
In green-hued body
In the role of AnkAri
Assuming the mighty "I"
SHE created the five
And manifested all,
Yet, SHE remains undisturbed
In HER pristine glory
In the sweet hrImkAra
As the eternal substratum"
From verses from Thirumanthiram
by Shri Ravi Mayavaram
TRANSATED from Tamil (South Indian language):
SHE is the beginning of everything, but SHE is beginningless.
SHE is causeless, but SHE is the cause of everything.
SHE is the light of this universe, yet SHE is non-light too and beyond it.
SHE is the divine beauty in the form supreme joy of bliss.
SHE is mother of all.
SHE is the transcendent samAdhi.
SHE is the inner jewel of mind.
SHE is the most auspicious one.
SHE bestowed me with consciousness and
SHE abides in my heart.
Celestials there are none who know HER not
Penances there are none which exclude HER presence
The mighty five can accomplish nothing without HER power
The means to liberation I know of none except HER
SHE is OmkAri
The primal praNava
The beautiful lady
In green-hued body
In the role of AnkAri
Assuming the mighty "I"
SHE created the five
And manifested all,
Yet, SHE remains undisturbed
In HER pristine glory
In the sweet hrImkAra
As the eternal substratum
Tamil A~NkAri is a modified form ahamkAri, that is probably one of the readings of that term. Similarly O~NkAri is AUMkAri. The aivar or five mentioned here are the groups of 5, the highest of which is brahma, vishni, rudra, mahesvara and sadasiva. Other groups are the five jnanendriyas, the five karmendriyas, the five tanmatras and the five bhuutas.
As appears in:
OMkari
