History of the chant
This chant is found in the Ishavasya Upanishad, which are the ancient philosophical treatises found at the end of the Vedas. The Upanishads describe the infinite and constant nature of Parahbrahma, the fullness of the universe.
Important information about the chant
It is believed that the universe is infinite and indestructible. If something dies, something else will be born in its place, and so the universe remains constant. The universe is born out of itself and is the source of everything in the world. Therefore, everything that exists in the universe also exists in us, making us also products of the universe. If we understand and accept this, we can achieve the realization of God and feel one with him. The essence of this prayer is reflected across many scriptures like the Vedas, Upnishads, and Puranas.
