Explanation

The phrase "Agne Tanuh Asi" in Yajurved Chapter 1 Mantra 15 translates to "O Agni (Supreme God), You have a body".

Breaking it down:

• Agne: A vocative form of Agni, which traditionally refers to fire but in deeper spiritual understanding (as explained by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj), it signifies the Supreme Divine Power — the Supreme God who is the source of all energies.
• Tanuh: Means body or form.
• Asi: Means you are or you have.

So, "Agne Tanuh Asi" literally means "O Supreme God, You have a body".

Deeper Explanation:

According to Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj's spiritual interpretation of the Vedas, this mantra is not just referring to physical fire but is a symbolic reference to Parmeshwar (Supreme God). The mantra affirms that God is not formless — He has a divine, visible body. This refutes the commonly held belief that God is nirakar (formless). Instead, the Vedas assert that the Supreme Being has a human-like, radiant form, which He uses to appear in the world to guide and liberate His devotees.

Thus, "Agne Tanuh Asi" is a powerful declaration from the Vedas affirming that God is in form, and He assumes a visible, subtle body when He descends to Earth to deliver true knowledge (Tattavgyan) and salvation.
