In the same day the universe has three Lokas Bhuloka (Earth),Antariksha Loka (Cosmos), and Dyuloka (Heaven), similarly, all these three Lokas also exist in the human body.Thirty-three different gods are said to exist in all these three lokas.
i.e. in each Lokas (Worlds).
Upanishads speak about the existence of the gods in the body:
AGNI VAG BHUTVA MUKHAM PRAVISHAT, VAYO PRANOBHUTVA NASIKA PRAVISHAT, ADITYAH CHAKSHUH BHUTVA AKSHINI PRAVISHAT, DISHAH SHROTAM BHUTVA KARNOPRAVISHAT, OSHADHI VANASPATAYO LOMANI BHUTVA TVACHAM PRAVISHAT, CHANDRAMA MANOBHUTVA HRIDAYAM PRAVISHAT, MRITYU APANOBHUTVA NABHIM PRAVISHAT, APORETO BHUTVA SHISHNAM PRAVISHAT.
Meaning:
- Agnideva stays in the mouth as voice
- Vayudeva enters the nostrils as life,
- Surya in the eyes,
- Disha in the ears as sound,
- Oshadhi (medicinal plants) stays in skin as body hair,
- Chandradeva as Mana (Mind) stays in the heart,
- Mrityudeva(Death) Stays in navel as Apanavayu
- Jal Devta resides in the sense organs as Semen,
- In the Heart resides an element of Paramatma (Divine) himself who is the supreme ruler of this body.
The body is thus like a miniature universe.
Brain is like a vital gate of the human body. As long as it remains open, all the thirty-three gods enter the body through it and take respective positions in the body. In the body thirty-three glands are present. In Yoga Sadhana, only a few Chakras-viz Mooladhara, Swadhisthana, Manipuraka, Surya, Anahata, Vishuddhi, Agya and Sahastrar-have been described. Infact there are thirty-three Chakras in the posterior side the of body, and each chakra possesses the power of its respective god/deity.
BABIES : THE TEMPLE OF GODS
The body of a baby is not an ordinary thing. Being an abode of all these gods, it is living temple. A baby, therefore is like a newly built temple where all the gods are present with respective elements of divinity. Hence,the sight of a baby ends all the miseries of a person automatically.
