Sadyojāta (सद्योजात) refers to one of the five faces of Sadāśiva that revealed the Āgamas (sacred texts).—According to the sṛṣṭikrama method mentioned in the Uttarakāmikāgama, “Prodgītāgama, Lalitāgama, Siddhāgama, Santānāgama, Śarvoktāgama, Pārameśvarāgama, Kiraṇāgama and Vātulāgama are from the face called Sadyojāta”. According to the saṃhārakrama mentioned in the Pūrvakāraṇāgama, “Kāmikāgama, Yogajāgama, Cintyāgama, Kāraṇāgama and Ajitāgama are emanated from the Sadyojāta face of Sadāśiva”.
According to the Ajitāgama, “Vijaya, Pārameśvara, Niśvāsa, Prodgīta and Mukhabimba are sprung from the Sadyojāta face of Śiva”. According to the Rauravāgama, “Śarvokta, Pārameśvara, Kiraṇa and Vātula are sprung from the Sadyojāta face of Sadāśiva”.
1) Sadyojāta (सद्योजात):—One of the five aspects of Śiva, known collectively as the Pañchabrahmās. They are emanations from the niṣkala-Śiva. According to the Rūpamaṇḍana, the colour of the body, garland, sandal-paste and the garments of Sadyojāta should be white. His head should be adorned with a jaṭamakuṭa, ornamented with the crescent moon. He should have a good-looking face expressive of joy, three eyes and two arms: the two hands should be held in the varada and the abhaya poses.
The Śrītatvanidhi gives somewhat different description. For Sadyojāta should have, according to this work, four faces; each of these faces should have three eyes; the colour of Sadyojāta should be white. This face ought to point to the western direction. Two of the hands of Sadyojāta are to be held in the varada and abhaya poses and the two remaining ones keep the vedas and the akṣamālā. But Sadyojāta is distinctly required to be sculptured so as to appear of greater importance than the rest.
2) Sadyojāta (सद्योजात):—Fifth of the twelve emanations of Rudra, according to the Rūpamaṇḍana.
Lord Sadyojata:
Lord Sadyojata faces west and represent the element fire. The name Sadyojata represents Sadyaha which means born now. The lord manifests and makes his appearance known through newborn souls. This aspect is worshipped first and is associated with the color white. This form signifies the western direction and represents our will power. It also denotes the mind, tastes, power of creation and pleasures of life. Also, this aspect of Shiva makes his presence felt through the innumerable souls born.
Lord Shiva has five faces called Ishana, Tatpurusha, Aghora, Vamadeva and Sadyojatha. These five faces of Shiva represent the five basic elements viz. akash, air, fire, water and earth. In fact these faces can be called five forms of Shiva. Any creation has to be made out of these five gross elements.
A) Five Faces of Lord Shiva:
- Sadyojata – West Face:
West is called as “Paschima or Pratyak”. The soul is called as “Pratyagaatma”. “Sadyaha which means just now and Jataha means now born. Shiva makes his presence felt through the countless souls being born. Hence the apt name ‘Sadyosata’. This shows the creative aspect of Parameshvara. Since the very existence of any being starts from its birth, the Sadyosata aspect of Lord Shiva is prayed first.
The essence of the Sadyosata Mantra is : “O! Lord ! Sadyojaata, never give me desires which are the reason for this countless births and deaths. Please Bless me with the passion for liberation. My prayers to Sadyosata”.
This Sadyosata aspect is correlated with the following;
To “Shi” Beekakshara in Panchakshara Mantra
To “Mano Maya Kosha” amongst the five Koshas
To “Agni” principle among five principles “Pancha Bhuta”.
To “Manipuraka” among Six Chakras
To “Panchama (Pa)” Swara among the Seven Swaras
To “Ma” in ‘Omkara’
Let us pray that Sadyosata face of Lord Shiva.
‘Shivam Shaantam Jagannatham
Loka Anugraha Kaaranam
Shivam Ekam Param Vande
Shikaaraaya Namo Namaha’
Sadyojata
Associated with the western direction, Sadyojata represents Iccha Shakti or willpower. This aspect is linked to the mind and is connected to the fire element, symbolizing the fire of the mind and body. Sadyojata’s function is that of the creative force and is associated with the Manipura chakra.
