CHAPTER – ONE

THE EXPLANATION OF THE NAMES OF GOD SUCH AS OM 

—-

 It is always the context that determines the meaning of words.

—-

—-

Our position, therefore, is that a word may have several meanings; which meaning is to be understood at a particular place is to be decided by the context.

—-

Here, we have given a hundred names of God. But in addition to these, God has innumerable other names. Just as God has infinite attributes, infinite functions and infinite nature, so it has infinite names, each word signifying a particular aspect. What we have given here is only a drop in the ocean. The vedaas and other Scriptures speak of God from innumerable viewpoints.

—-

A book should be pervaded with truth from the beginning to the end-not that there is benediction at one place and malediction at another.

—-

The sages begin only with words Om or Atha

—-

The vedaas and other Scriptures never use ‘Hari’ in the beginning. We should also, therefore, use the words ‘Atha’ and ‘Om’.
