Shri Nithyagutam 8.3.13 Kshetrakya Namastubhyam Sarvaadhikshaya Sakshiye Purushaya Atma Moolaya Mool Prakritye Namaha so Gajendra after talking about the various incarnations that have manifested at various times throughout history now talks about the incarnation the manifestation of the Lord that always stays with us that manifestation is the manifestation of the super soul the super soul is Kshetragya Namastubhyam so I offer obeisances to you Lord who is the Kshetragya you know the whole Kshetra the body is considered the Kshetra in the 13th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita and the Atma is a local Kshetragya the knower of one Kshetragya but the Paramatma is the knower of all Kshetras Kshetragya Namastubhyam I offer obeisances to you and to differentiate clearly immediately I say that I says that he’s not referring to the soul by pointing out Sarvaadhikshaya Sakshiye You are Sarvaadhikshaya you are not just observer of my body knower of my body you are not me because you are Sarvaadhikshaya you are the Adhyakshaya the controller the supervisor of everyone and everything in all of existence this clearly refers to Krishna who in 9.10 says in the Bhagavad Gita Mayadhyakshaya Prakruti the whole nature is working under me and you are a Sakshiye you are the witness in the heart who is observing so you are the overseer you are the witness and then he talks about how you are also the origin Purushaya Atmamoolaya you are the supreme person the Purusha who is Atmamoolaya you are the source of everything the Moola the root of everything and then Moola Prakruti Namaha you are the root of Prakruti also so now Prakruti has these two Prakruti is considered female and as contrasted that Prakruti that is Pradhan Purusha of Prakruti so now actually Pradhan is also Prakruti but it is Prakruti in unmanifested form so that is also female but it is in unmanifested unactive form unstimulated so actually both of them Moola Prakruti Namaha means both of them are ultimately activated by you and they come from you so basically by talking about these two attributes how you are the source and the supervisor of everything he is saying that things are not out of your control my dear lord everything is in your control and even when now I am in a big crisis by knowing that you are observing I can be assured that whatever is happening is a part of your plan although nothing makes sense to me and I am on the verge of death but knowing that you are Sakshine you are observing this and you have a plan for me I am hopeful I am waiting to understand your plan so that I can play my role in it so please Namaha I offer my obeisances to you so that you will rescue me not just from this crocodile but rescue me from the ignorance that prevents me from playing the role in this plan that you want me to play so nothing is out of your control and this crocodile is attacking me it is not outside your plan you are Sarva Adhyakshaya so my dear lord I accept you as the Adhyaksha of my heart and I seek your guidance so that I will know how you want me to act in this situation so when we remember like this the Lord is Sarva Adhyakshaya many times one of the biggest distractors in our meditation is this is the uncontrollable and anxiety inducing situations in our life which we feel we need to do something practical to deal with and chanting often doesn’t seem to be practical but when we remember that those situations are also under Krishna’s control he is Sakshine he is Sarva Adhyakshaya and he has a plan so then chanting becomes the most important thing to do because by chanting we are connecting with Krishna so that he will be able to so that we will let him guide us the Dhammi Buddhi Yogam Tam of how he wants us to act so by meditating on how Krishna is the controller of everything we can motivate our chanting recognizing that it is not disconnected from the rest of our life but it is connected to that supreme reality who is connected to everything in our life and indeed everything in all of creation Thank You Krishna. Harinam Prabhu Ki Jai.
