The Moon was born from his mind, the Sun from his eyes, the heavens from his skull. In the sacrifice of Purusha, the Vedic chants were first created.В The horses and cows were born, the Brahmins (Learned men) were made from PurushaвЂ™s mouth, the Kshatriyas (Men with strength) from his arms, the Vaishyas (Men with business acumen) from his thighs, and the Shudras (Men who Work) from his feet. He emanated Viraj, the female creative principle, from which he is reborn in turn before the world was made out of his parts. He is described as having a thousand heads and a thousand feet. Purusha is described as a Primeval gigantic Person, from whose Body the world and the varnas (socioeconomic classes) are built. As some of your own poets have said, вЂWe are His offspringвЂ™.вЂќ вЂњ All of you together are ChristвЂ™s Body, and each of you is a part of it.вЂќ Love and affection is the only valid ingredient of such sacrifice.) He Himself further expands into many, everything is His energy, all universes and ourselves вЂњ For in Him we live and move and exist. Anything offered to God with Love is sacrifice. (The term sacrifice means: offering something to God with Love. Purusha means the Original Person, the Supreme Enjoyer as such, He is the Supreme Enjoyer of all sacrifices and the sacrifice (oblation) Itself. The SonвЂ™s act of creation is considered His Self-sacrifice (yajna). His first expansion is Lord Baladeva (as the вЂSonвЂ™) from Whom everything is created. God, the Father, the Supreme Personality of Godhead is One, all pervading, Omnipresent, Omniscient, Omnipotent yet He expands Himself into many, directly or indirectly. The Purusha SuktaВ from Rigveda (Sacred Chants) вЂ“ beautiful hymn in praise of Supreme Cosmic Being, the Supreme Lord, the Lord of Lords.
