    Re: Sanskrit Philosophical Terms Doubts

    Namaste,

    I think 'yoni' is also used as 'prakruti. In Gita lower Brahman is used as garbha, i.e. prakruti. So it is not always female organ, specially not when it is used in vedanta.

    74:5 Two vessels, to hold the sacrificial libations, are placed at the Asvamedha before and behind the horse, the former made of gold, the latter made of silver. They are called Mahiman in the technical language of the ceremonial. The place in which these vessels are set, is called their yoni. Cf. Vâgas. Samhitâ XXIII, 2.

    Silence is the study of the scruptures. Meditation is the continuous thinking of Brahman which is to be meditated upon. The complete negation of both by knowledge is the vision of truth – sadAcAra-14 of Adi SankarAcArya

    Agochar == A (Not) + gochar (which can be seen/perceived) ===> Who cannot be seen.

    "Yoni" means female-organ from which a child takes birth. It also means "species" like "Manushya Yoni" meaning "human birth".

    "Ayoni" means "unborn". It is not "Sambhava" but "Swayambhu" meaning "Who came into being on his own" (without a mother or father). "Ayonija" == A (Not) + Yoni (female reproductive organ) + Ja (born) ===> Not born through the female reproductive organ

    Namaste Devotee Ji,

    Thanks a lot.

    Namaste Amrut Ji,

    What/Who is lower Brahman?
