• Mantra: Incorporating “Hearing” Verses from the Rigveda

ॐ श्रुतं चैतन्यं ब्रह्मणः।
श्रोत्रं विश्वतो साक्षिणं।
ऋतं सत्यं श्रुतिर्मूलं।
चैतन्यं सर्वमिदं श्रुतं॥

Transliteration:

Om Shrutam Chaitanyam Brahmanah.
Shrotram Vishvato Sakshinam.
Rtam Satyam Shrutirmoolam.
Chaitanyam Sarvamidam Shrutam.

English Translation:

Om, the hearing is the consciousness of Brahman.
The ear, the universal witness.
Truth and cosmic order, rooted in the Vedas.
Consciousness pervades all that is heard.

Explanation:

• Shrutam Chaitanyam Brahmanah: This line refers to hearing as an aspect of consciousness (Chaitanya) that is inherent in Brahman, the ultimate reality or universal consciousness.

• Shrotram Vishvato Sakshinam: The ear (Shrotra) is described as the witness of the universe (Vishvato Sakshinam), signifying that through hearing, we engage with and bear witness to the world.

• Rtam Satyam Shrutirmoolam: This phrase connects the concept of truth (Rta) and cosmic order (Satyam) to the roots of hearing, which are grounded in the Vedas (Shruti). It acknowledges the Vedas as the foundational source of eternal truths, heard and preserved through generations.

• Chaitanyam Sarvamidam Shrutam: Finally, the mantra declares that consciousness (Chaitanya) pervades everything that is heard (Shrutam), emphasizing that hearing is not merely a physical act but a conscious experience that connects us to the essence of all that exists.

This mantra beautifully integrates the spiritual significance of hearing within the broader framework of Vedic philosophy, connecting the act of hearing to the universal consciousness and the sacred knowledge found in the Vedas. It can be used as a meditation tool to deepen one’s connection to the inner self and the truths that are revealed through the act of listening.
