	Purusha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to the Rigvedic Purusha sukta, Purusha was dismembered by the devas -- his mind is the Moon, his eyes are the Sun, and his breath is the wind.
		In the Rigveda, Purusha is described as a primeval giant, not unlike the Norse Ymir, that is sacrificed by the gods (see Purushamedha) and from whose body the world and the varnas (castes) are built.
		The horses and cows were born, the Brahmins were made from Purusha's mouth, the Kshatriyas from his arms, the Vaishyas from his thighs, and the Shudras from his feet.[2] The Moon was born from his spirit, the Sun from his eyes, the heavens from his skull.

	Purusha suktam
		Purusha sukta is a widely used sukta, at almost all the rituals- whether it is the worship of the deity at home or at temples, recitation of religious scriptures, vedic rites establishing the sacred fire or even the cremation of a dead brahmin's body.
		While the concept of Purusha is found in almost all of six visions of Indian philosophy including the mutually exclusive Sankhya and Vedanta, as well as Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads, the description of Purusha in Rg Veda is as graphical and awesome as the Viswarupa of the Lord in the Gita.
		The Rushi to whom the Purusha sukta is revealed is Narayana, said to be an avatar of Lord vishnu and the chandas (or metre) is tristup (16th mantra of Rg Vedic edition) and Anustup(the rest).

	Purusha and Prakriti, the mother goddess and the father god
		At the physical level, Prakriti is the body and the mind (kshetra or the field) with all their constituent parts, while Purusha is the indwelling witness Spirit, (kshetragna or the knower of the body), the pure, egoless consciousness that exists beyond the senses and the mind.
		Purusha is the Adhidaiva, the Supreme Divine (8.8), the Ancient, the Omniscient, the Universal Enforcer of Law, the Supporter of All (8.9), who in the body as indwelling Spirit, as inner witness becomes Adhiyagna (8.4).
		The Purushas are said to be of two kinds: the perishable and the imperishable.

		It is often used during the worship of the Deity of Vishnu or Narayana in the temple, installation and fire ceremonies, or during the daily recitation of Sanskrit literature or for one's meditation.

		From that yajna (or sacrificial ritual) wherein the Cosmic Being was Himself the oblation, was produced the prasajya (or curds mixed with ghee).

	THE SANKHYA PHILOSOPHY
		The focus is to discriminate between purusha and the higher mental states: manas and buddhi, which are part of prakriti.
		Purusha has no attributes except that "it is" and that "it knows." "The spirit is what is sees, it is isolated, indifferent, a mere inactive spectator." (Quoted in Eliade, 27) It has no intelligence (this is located in buddhi.) and it is without desire.
		Sattvaguna is the "stuff" of consciousness and all higher mental states (associated with Hindu god Vishnu and the goddess Lakshmi); rajasguna is the source of activity, sensation, and emotion (associated with Brahma and the goddess Sarasvati); and tamasguna is the source of resistance, inertia, and dissolution (associated with Shiva and the goddess Kali).

		Purusha (consciousness) is actually at all times independent of the interplay, but has become falsely identified with all of this.
		Purusha: Of the two companion principles, Purusha is consciousness that is untainted, ever-pure.
		Means of Retracing Prakriti to Purusha: The journey of Self-realization, or discrimination of pure consciousness (Purusha) from unmanifest matter (Prakriti) is one of systematically using attention to encounter, examine, and transcend each of the various levels of manifestation, ever moving attention further inward towards the core of our being (See Yoga Sutras 2.26-2.29 and 3.53-3.56).
