Description
Objective of Chakshumati Puja
In the Chakshush Upanishad (Krishna Yajurveda), there are descriptions stating the treatment of various diseases related to eyesight. The Sanskrit word ‘Chakshu’ meaning ‘eyesight’. It is said therein that to heal the ailments of the eyes, one must offer prayers to Surya, the sun god. In all the Vedas and Upanishad, Surya, the sun god is regarded as the one who dispels the darkness and is the epitome of vitality and power. The Sun represents self-realization and is the planet that directs us toward light. All the living entities derive their sight and vision from Sun for he is associated with eyesight, light, knowledge and divine brilliance. Ancient yogis and saints have always recommended the worship of Sun for health especially of one’s eyesight. Often times, we suffer from weak eyesight, blurriness and other ailments.
The prayer verses in the Chakshush Upanishad state that it is the Sun who liberates the living entities from the clutches of darkness and ignorance.
The Rishi says:
‘O god of sight (Sun), kindly be distinguished with your brilliance in our eyes! Be the ailments of our chakshu (eyesight) be healed and pacified with your divine brilliance. Allow us to view your numinous appearance. O lord of the radiance, we offer our obeisance to you! Please take us off the asat (ignorance, falsity) toward the sat (Absolute Truth). Kindly take us away from darkness and lead us toward the light of knowledge, from mortality to immortality. There is no one to be compared with your brilliance. You are sat chit ananda personified. We offer obeisance to you thousand times. We offer prayers to Lord Vishnu Who is the ultimate source of everything’.
