Mantra Pushpam / The Flower of Vedic Chants

This mantra comes from the Taittiriya Aranyakam of the Yajur Veda. It speaks of the unlimited benefits which will be conferred by the secret knowledge of the water, fire, air, the sun, the moon, the stars, the clouds and time. It is normally sung in a chorus by all the pujaris together after performing any puja or yajna. It tells in short that water (here water is ether) is the basis of this universe.
