Narayana Suktam - the supreme self of all - Yajur Veda with English su...

Narayana means the radiance of Light that emanates from the One Universal Source. Narayana or Vishnu is personified as a blue deity with many arms lying upon the serpent of infinite consciousness. It is a poetic personification of the magnificence of this created world as well as the unseen.

In many temples, Vishnu is often seen with eyes closed. If and when he opens them the entire Universe implodes back into Oneness and void over trillions of years. While his eyes are closed, the Universe is able to function as we know it.

How amazing that this correlates with the big bang and other theories: yogis and saints literally perceived these Truths in the depths of their meditation for countless centuries.
