Why do we chant ‘Bhojan Mantra’?
Bhagvan Shri Krishna says, all the aspects of Yagya (as described in
Vedas) e.g. aarpana (Ghee), the fire, aahuti everything is Brahman itself and
it reaches Brahman when put in the fire of Yagya because Brahma = Karma.
Even Bhojana is Yagya, where the fire is the Jatharagni (fire inside stomach), the aahuti is food and the person who does this aarpan is also Brahma swarup.

But
unless we know this fact and appreciate this we will not be able to take this
Yagya to its completeness. When it’s done with such understanding nobody will
overeat, waste food and hence nobody would sleep hungry. When someone overeats
he is actually eating other’s share, Bhagvan Shri Krishna calls such person a thief. To
remind this we chant ‘Bhojan Mantra’.

That's a very good explanation!

ReplyDeleteNilesh, just chant the Marathi bhojan mantra once in mind. Its written by, I guess Samartha Ramdas swami. You will find its actually a marathi translation of what Shri Krishna said.
