“VISHVAKARMANNESS: A Reawakening to the Vedic Truth” by Vijith Anandh B
‘VISHVAKARMANNESS: A Reawakening to the Vedic Truth’ by Vijith Anandh B serves as a profound spiritual journey into the heart of the Vedic tradition by focusing on one of its most overlooked yet paramount deities—Vishvakarman. Through its thoughtful exploration of the primeval deity, this book offers both an enlightening revival of Vishvakarman’s worship and a philosophical guide to connecting with the deeper principles of Vedic Dharma.
Rediscovering Vishvakarman: The Supreme Creator
At its core, the book aims to rekindle awareness of Vishvakarman, often forgotten in modern spiritual discourse but historically recognized as the supreme architect of the universe and the source from whom the trinity of Brahmā, Vishṇu, and Shiva has emerged. Through this text, Vijith Anandh B encourages readers to reestablish a relationship with this divine entity, not only as a deity but as a fundamental principle guiding the Sanathana Vishva-Dharma—the eternal cosmic order. By positioning Vishvakarman as the Supreme One, the author invites readers to expand their understanding of Vedic truth, offering a comprehensive reawakening to the philosophical and spiritual importance of this deity.
A Collection of Reflections and Revelations
The book is structured as a series of reflections and revelations that delve into various aspects of Vishvakarman’s nature, symbolism, and influence on human life. It presents the glories of Vishvakarman and offers worshipful prayers that can help followers to nurture what the author calls “Vishvakarman Consciousness” or “Vishvakarmanness.”
This spiritual consciousness reflects a deeper understanding of the deity’s omnipresence, power, and role in the universe. Vijith Anandh B explains that developing this awareness can transform one’s approach to life and spirituality, fostering a deeper connection with the divine. This section of the book proves to be not only instructional but also deeply meditative, offering practical ways for readers to engage with their faith and personal spiritual journeys.
The Principles of Vishva-Dharma
Another key theme in ‘VISHVAKARMANNESS’ is the exploration of the principles of Vishva-Dharma, the universal moral and ethical code that Vishvakarman is said to embody and promote. Anandh B encourages readers to understand these noble principles and their relevance in the modern world. By following the ways of Vishvakarman, individuals can learn to navigate life’s challenges with dignity, honor, and righteousness, aligning themselves with the cosmic order and achieving a life of greater purpose.
The book also touches upon the legacy of the Vishvakarmās, both past and present, offering historical context and showing how these divine builders have contributed to the world in meaningful ways. The author explains how chanting the Ādhi or Vishva-manthra, the sacred names of Vishvakarman, can bring divine benefits, including peace, purity, and strength. These spiritual practices offer readers a tangible way to connect with the deity and feel empowered by his presence.
Demystifying Vishvakarman and Transcending Discrimination
One of the book’s strongest attributes is its commitment to demystifying Vishvakarman by focusing on His transcendental name, form, and attributes. Anandh B succeeds in presenting Vishvakarman not as a distant figure of mythology but as an accessible and essential force that can be engaged with in everyday life. His spiritual and philosophical insights into the deity offer readers a sense of calmness, purity, and inner strength, attributes that are often associated with the worship of this great Vedic deity.
Furthermore, the book goes beyond the personal to address broader societal concerns, particularly the issue of discrimination. By understanding Vishvakarmana-tattva, or the true nature of Vishvakarman, the author believes that individuals can overcome discriminatory mindsets and realize their belongingness to one universal family—what he calls the Vishvakarmana Kutumba. This shift in perception helps to promote unity, equality, and compassion, highlighting the importance of spiritual practices that not only enrich the individual but also contribute to a more harmonious society.
A Spiritual Guide for Modern Times
In the end, ‘VISHVAKARMANNESS’ is more than just a historical or philosophical text—it is a practical spiritual guide for modern readers who seek to reconnect with the Vedic truth. Anandh B encourages readers to see Vishvakarman as the Virāt Purusha, the cosmic person, and the Supreme Father who is the source of all auspiciousness. This comprehensive understanding of the deity helps readers realize that Vishvakarman’s teachings can lead them to a life of greater fulfillment, spiritual richness, and peace.
For those who may not be familiar with Vedic scriptures or deities, this book serves as an accessible introduction, breaking down complex ideas into easily digestible chapters. Anandh B’s style is reflective and thoughtful, drawing readers into a calm and contemplative space where they can engage with these ancient teachings in a way that feels relevant to today’s world.
