Prańáma Mantra is a discourse given by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti on 1978 October 5 in Patna, India. This discourse is the fifth chapter of Ananda Vacanamrtam Part 3.[1]

Synopsis

The big devotees have taken away Your Mind. You have lost Your Mind. So there is a shortage of one thing, a shortage of mind. But Lord, You needn’t be disappointed. I have a mind with me – take that mind. I offer it to Thee.” “Tava dravyaḿ Jagatguro Tubhyameva samarpaye.” “Everything of mine, along with my mind, is offered at Your altar. Please oblige and accept it.”.

Shrii Shrii Anandamurti

In this discourse Anandamurti interprets the Pranama Mantra: Tava dravyaḿ Jagatguro tubhyameva samarpaye. Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that "Tava dravyam" means your property, and "Jagatguru" means the Guru of all moving phenomena. Everything in this universe is created, as well as owned by Parama Purusa, and we can only create that which already exists within His vast Macrocosmic mind. Anandamurti then explains that jinaniis (intellectuals) think that nothing can be offered to Him who owns all. While devotees recognized this statement, still they offer their minds to Guru, recognizing the power of ego. Anandamurti goes on explaining the position of devotees: "The Lord's mind", they say, "had been snatched away". To please Him, they offer it in return.[1]
