Swayambhu: The Soul as Self-Existing and Self-Illuminating

“SWAYAMBHU”

“ATMA” is “Swayambhu”:

• By itself

• By the Self

• Through the Self

• Of the Self

• From the Self

• From a “BORN” source

• 
  

“ATMA” — “THE SOUL” is the mysterious entity unto itself!

“Swayam-Bhu” is a very apt word describing the definition of the Soul.

“Bhu” = Existing

“Swayam” = By itself / in itself

“Swayam-Prakasha” means self-luminous or self-illuminating.

Nothing else illuminates it.

It illuminates everything else.

It is like the Sun.

Prakriti is illuminated by Atma and is perceived through Atma.

The “Dance” of the combination of Prakriti and Purusha is the “LILA.”
