अजापति

The lord of the unborn, sovereign over all that transcends birth and death

अजन्मा प्राणियों के पति, जन्म और मृत्यु से परे सबके स्वामी

Aja — things that are 'unborn' — consciousness (when did it begin?), mathematical truths (did pi 'begin'?), space (was space 'born'?), natural laws (were they 'created'?)। Ajapati — lord of eternal principles — governing what was never created and can never be destroyed। Ajapa Japa — 'unspoken chanting' — natural breath mantra (So-Ham) — effortless aja meditation। Energy conservation — energy neither created nor destroyed — physics' aja principle। शिव ajapati — lord of the eternal dimension — governing what never began and will never end — king of the timeless realm where birth and death are visitors, not residents।

ॐMeditate on this name for accessing the unborn self. Ideal during Ajapa Japa (So-Ham). Invoke for transcending birth-death cycles. Powerful during So-Ham meditation and timeless-awareness contemplation.
