अर्थ

भू सूक्तम् पृथ्वी की अधिष्ठात्री भूमि देवी की महिमा गाने वाला वैदिक सूक्त है, जो उन्हें असीम माता (अदिति) के रूप में पूजता है — जो समस्त प्राणियों को धारण करती और अन्न व आश्रय प्रदान करती हैं। यह स्थिर प्रतिष्ठा, समृद्धि और सुयोग्य सन्तान की प्रार्थना करता है तथा इसमें प्रिय 'मधु' ऋचाएँ (मधु वाता ऋतायते) सम्मिलित हैं जो वायु, नदियों, औषधियों, मिट्टी और समस्त प्रकृति में माधुर्य का आवाहन करती हैं। लक्ष्मी एवं भूदेवी पूजा, गृह प्रवेश, भूमि पूजन और समृद्धि के लिए किए जाने वाले वैदिक हवनों में इसका पाठ होता है।

उत्पत्ति और कथा

Krishna Yajurveda (Taittiriya tradition) · Vedic seers (apaurusheya — not of human authorship, by tradition) · Vedic period

The Bhu Suktam is drawn from the Vedic corpus (preserved in the Taittiriya recension of the Krishna Yajurveda and recited in temple liturgy) as a hymn to Bhumi Devi, the Earth. The Earth is invoked as Aditi, the infinite mother who bears mountains, rivers and all creatures upon her, and who provides food, fire and shelter. It is one of the classic 'Panchasukta' hymns recited in Lakshmi and Vishnu worship, alongside Purusha, Sri, Neela and Vishnu Suktams.

शास्त्रों में वर्णित

Tradition holds that performing bhumi puja with the Bhu Suktam before building or farming on a piece of land removes defects of the site (vastu dosha), pacifies the Earth, and ensures that the home or harvest established there flourishes with stability and plenty.
