PRAJAAKAAMO VAI PRAJAAPATIH SA TAPO.ATAPYATA SA TAPASTAPTVAA SA MITHUNAMUTPAADAYATE | RAYIM CHA PRANAM CHETYETAU ME BAHUDHAA PRAJAAH KARISHHYATA ITI || The Creator was desirous of progeny. With this in view, he performed penance and having performed penance, created the pair, the Matter (Rayi) and the Energy (Prana) thinking that together they would produce creatures in various ways.

Just finished reading "Prashna Upanishad" or "Prashnopanishad".  Associated with the Atharva Veda, the text consists of 6 questions and their answers, hence the name Prashna (question) - Upanishad.  As narrated in the beginning of this Upanishad, Six pupils interested in knowing divinity or Brahman come to sage Pippalada and request him to clarify their spiritual doubts. Instead of answering immediately, Pippalada asks them to take up penance and Brahmacharya for one year at his place. Upon completion of one year, pupils ask the sage, then the sage answers their questions. Each of them asks one question to Pippalada and answer(s) to it forms a chapter in the ancient Upanishad. So interesting and informative..!! The MFI posts hereafter (from MFI 33) will be taken from the Prashna Upanishad. The verses are transliterated into English from the original Sanskrit text. The meanings are the English translations of the Sanskrit verses.
