Dear ALL Baktha’s,
Here are the references from PRAMAANAM (True Source of Spiritual Knowledge from SHASTRAS/Vedas/Ithihasa…..), which is nothing but Sri Velukkudi Krishnan Swami’s Pravachanams based on “Oran Vazhi Guru Paramparai” teachings transcendental from GeethAcharyan BhagavAn SriKrishna through JagadhAcharyan Swami Ramanujar to present Asmadh Acharyas delivered to us via Sri Velukkudi Krishnan Swami’s Anugraham.
********************************************************************
Swami has mentioned briefly about the Fundamentals of ‘Sanatana Dharmam’ from SHASTRAS in short EnpAni clips as below.
For detailed explanations with reference to the “Shastara Vaakyams in Sanskrit”, please refer to Swami’s lengthier Upnayasams/Discourses.
Here are the Short references (Pramaanam) from Swami’s Enpani audio clips.
********************************************************************
A) The Three Tatvaas based on Shastram Enpani #07:
Tatvam’ is sub-divided in to Three as below:
Achit, Chit, ParamAthma.
1) Achit
* Means Jada Porul, “Arivattra (No Gyanam) & Azhiyakoodiya Porul (Perishable”)
* INSENTIENT
* Countless in Qty’s (Insentient objects like our body and other materialistic things etc..)
* Achit is Anaadhi (means it existed for undefined time)
* Sotthu (Property of ParamAthma)
2) Chit
* Means Chaytanyam “JeevAthma”, “Arivulladhu (Only Gyanam) & Azhivu illadhadhu (Non-Perishable”
* SENTIENT
* Countless Qty’s (all of us ‘Sentient’).
* Chit is also Anaadhi (means it existed for undefined time)
* Sotthu/Adimai (Property/Servant of ParamAthma)
3) ParamAthma
* Means Anantha KODI KALYANA GUNANGAL Udayavar (One WHO has Unlimited DIVINE Qualities).
* Means POORNAN (FULL QUALITIES, NO DEFICIENCY AT ALL).
* Gyana, Bhala, Veera, Aishwary, Shakthi, Thejas are primary 6 qualities of BhaghavAn.
* Plus Sowlabhyam, Sowsheelyam, Swamithvam, Parathvam, etc… Countless Divine SUPREME Qualities.
* ONE & ONLY ONE ‘ParamAthma (NO Second ONE)’ which is nothing but the BhagavAn SRIMAN NARAYANAN who is the OWNER of both countless Chit & countless Achit. Chit & Achit is Thirumeni (Body) for ‘ParamAthma’ Sriman Narayanan
* ParamAthma is also Anaadhi (existed for undefined time).
* Why ParamAThma is ONLY “nArAyAnA” and not applicable to others as explained by ‘Paanini Maharishi (Father of Linguistics)’ in Paanini Soothram, which is the nothing but the BASE GRAMMER for ALL Sanskrit words. All Vedas/Shastras/Upanishads in Sanskrit are written based on Paanini Soothram.
By Paanini Soothram, grammer for sanskrit, there are two classifications:
a) Roodi Artham means “Etimology” (breakdown of each sanskrit words combined together should have a meaning),
b) Yowgika Artham means “Popular Usage” ( Popular usage meaning of the word in routine life)
a) Etimology meaning (Roodi Artham):
NA RA YA NA “நா ரா ய ண” split in to two
“NARA” Kootal “AYANAM” –> நார + அயனம் == நாராயண.
‘NARA (நார)‘ means Narangal (நாரர்கள்), means all JeevAthmas, Sentient.
‘AYANAM (அயனம்)‘ means where the Narargal (நாரர்கள்) reside.
‘kootal’ in tamil means ‘+’ addtion.
So, when NARA (நார) and AYANAM (அயனம்) is combined then,
ர + அ = ரா, so ‘நாரா”
and the ‘moonu suzhi ‘NA (ண)’ instead of oru suzhi ‘NA (ன) is added as per grammer.
and hence, நார + அயனம் = நாராயண. ‘NARAYANA, which means means “the resort or place where the ‘Narargal ‘All Jeevas’ (நார)‘ Reside (அயனம்) ‘” is ‘NARAYANA (நாராயண)‘.
b) Popular Usage meaning (Yowgika Artham):
In popluar usage, when soemone says BhagavAN Narayana, it is immediately understood, that BhagavAn Sriman Narayananan is teh one we are talking about.
So, by ‘Etimology’ it is understood all JeevaAthmas reside on Narayana and by ‘Usage’ it is understood that Narayana word is used to call BhagavAn Narayana, Perumal, SriKrishna, SriRama etc…
These can be understood, only if the actual Sanskrit word of NARAYANA is written and explained. As of now, adiyen is only Tranliteratiing the Sanskrit explantion to English explanation from Swami’s upanyasams. So please listen to Swami’s explantions for clarity in the upanyasams.
==============================================
Case study of ‘Etimology & Usage’ meanings:
Study-1:
We can consider a person having a name Narayana. But the ‘popular usage’ refers to BhagavAn Narayan as well as by definition ‘Etimology’ meaning also refers to BhagavAn Narayana. So, we know though a person has a name Narayan, he is not actually BhagavAn Narayan becasue both Etimilogy & Usage doesn’t fit for that person. So the person is NOT ParamAthma.
Study-2:
Same way, if we pick any person having any other name other than ‘Narayana’. Say one perosn has name ‘Shiva’, then the Usage meaning refers to Brahma’s son Shiva as per Sanatana Dharma texts/scriptures. So, though a person has name Shiva, doesn’t mean, he is Shiva as per ‘Usage’, rather the actual usage refers to the Brahma’s son Shiva.
Then, by Etimology, the breakdown meaning of each word ‘Shiva’ doesn’t mean all Narargal reside on him as per Paanini Sootram. So Shiva is NOT ParamAthma category. So Shiva should be in either Chit or Achit catergory. We know that, Shiva cannot be Achit caterogory as Achit is Jada porul. So, Shiva falls in Chit category means ‘JeevAthma category.
So, the Etimology (Roodi Artham) & Usage (Yowgikia Artham) can be applied for any names within Sanatana Dharmam or for any names outside Sanatana Dharmam, and we can filter easily who is ParamAthma THE SUPREME and why only NARAYANA is called as ParamAthma as per Vedas/Shastras.
Overall we know, what are the UNLIMITED DIVINE QUALITIES of ParamAthma under A3) section,
Then, Who is ParamAthma as per Paanini Sootram explanation of the word NARAYANA.
So, in ParamAthma category, there is ONE-and-ONLY ONE, which is the BhagavAn Sriman NARAYAN (no SECOND one).
==============================================
**************************************
B) Next about ‘HOW’ Sriman Narayan distributes HIS POWERS to other JeevAthmas
Sriman Narayana provides some of HIS Divine Qualities to other JeevAthams as below categories hierarchy in descending order.
1) ‘Poorna Avataram‘ is BhagavAn Sriman NARAYAN HIMSELF with “NO DISCHARGE” of powers to other Jeevathmas.
Example: SriRama, SriKrishna, Sri Narasimha, Sri Varaha etc… with ALL SUPREME DIVINE QUALITIES as we saw above in the three tatvams as
‘Gyana, Bhala, Veera, Aishwary, Shakthi, Thejas’.
2) Shakthi Avataram: A JeevAthma is given 100% of JUST ONE of Bhagavan’s divine quality like SHAKTHI. BhagavAn doesn’t give HIS remaining unlimited Divine Qualities to that Jeevathma.
Exmaple: Parasuram Avatar. Thats why Parasuram being a Jeevathma with only one of the Divine quality ‘Shakthi’ of SriRama had his anger dampened when the Poorna Avatara SriRama faced him.
3) Shakthi Aavesha Avatara: Only a PORTION (little bit) of the above Shakthi quality is given to a JeevAthma.
Example: KarthiVeeryaArjuna being a ‘Shakthi Aavesha avatara’ was defeated when faced with ‘Shakthi avatara’ Parasuram who inturn was defeated by Poorna Avatara SriRama the SUPREME.
So, this is the Hierarchy how BhagavAn Sriman Narayanan DISTRIBUTES HIS divine qualities to other Jeevathmas.
Poorna Avataram >>>>>> Shakthi Avataram >>>>>> Shakthi Aavesha Avataram
[BhagavAn HIMSELF > ONE Quality imparted to a JeevAthma) > Portion of ONE quality of BhagavAN imparted to a Jeevathma].
In the same way, the third category of Energy Charge (Shakthi Aavesha Avatara) to some JeevAthmas as, Brahma, Rudra etc., the resources required for creation and dissolution are drawn from the Supreme Lord ‘SRIMAN NARAYAN’ Poorana Avataram.
************************************
C) Next about ‘4 types of Pralaya’ Enpani #87
1) Nitya Pralayam –> Individual JeevAthma Birth -Death in Samsaram and take Rebirth again and again.
2) Naimithika Pralayam –> Individual JeevAthma’s last Death. Reach Moksham and no more re-birth. Permanent Escape from Samsaram.
3) Aathyanthika Pralayam –> After Brahma’s 12hrs (1000 Chatur Yuga) completion, three of the lokams are dissolved (Boo, Bhuvaha, Suvaha lokams). Still other lokamns in this Painful samasaram exists.
4) Praakritha Pralayam (Maha Pralayam) –> After Brahma’s 100 years, all the 14 lokams which constitues One Andam including Brahma lokam is disssolved. Samsaram still exists, but Shristis is not started and JeevAthmas who didnot go to Moksham wait for a body till BhagavAn starts Shristi.
Again once BhagavAn starts Shristi,
“Narayanan padaitthaan NaanMughanai (Brahma), NaanMughanukku Yeraar Shivan Piranthaan Yendrum Sol”
[ This is the “Naan Mughan Thiruvandhaadhi Divya Prabhandham Thaniyan” which is originally taken from Srimad Bhagavatham, how Perumal starts Shristi and choses a JeevAthma for Brahma post and then that Brahma choses another JeevAthma for Shiva post and creation continues).
==============================================
==============================================
So now:
1*) we know that, there is only Three Tatvams, Chit, Achit, ParamAthma as per as per section A3). [so no 4th tavam in-between Bahagavn & JeevAthama].
2*) we know that, ParamAthma’s Unlimited Divine Qualities and why that ParamAthma is Sriman Narayana as per section A3) a) & b). [so NO Second ParamAthma].
3*) we know that, How Sriman Narayan distributes HIS powers to other JeevAthams like Parasuam, KarthiVeeryaArjuna, Brahma, Rudra (Shiva) etc…. as per section B).
4*) we know that, Based on 4 types of Pralayam as per section C) , the highest Brahma post is dissolved when PERUMAL does MAHA PRALAYAM, (either the JeevAthma that took the Brahma post reaches SriVaikunta by Sriman Narayan Krupa (grace) or takes up another body in Samsaram. So when Brahma the highest post ‘Sathya lokam’ itself is disssoved, then the lower post (Brahmas son Shiva post) and any other demi-gods loakms/posts are also disssolved and the JeevAthma that took each of the posts Shiva post or other demi-god posts also has to take another body after Perumal starts Shristi starts or would have reached SriVainkuntam by Sriman Narayan Krupa (Grace). Same situation of all JeevAthmas in ordinary bodies like us as well.
[Refer to Swami’s Tatva Trayam CD, Srimad Bhagavatam CD, Vishnu Puram CD for clear details ]
==============================================
Hence, lets keep our Agyana-Vaasanai (own ignorant thinking) aside, unless we can refer the 4th tavam from Pramaanam (Shastras). If not, lets refrain from such fluid informations which confuses ourselves and others. Lets continue to follow the Shastras by doing MORE shravanam on Swami’s Upanyasams.
Kinchit Volunteers are uploading all the Enpani audios in the website under ‘Tutorial’ tab in a timely fashion. Swami has said, these are only brief audios, but refer to Books/Upanyasams for more details.
==============================================
So, being in the post (deva body) or taking up a human body is not important, since all these are STILL SAMSARAM (not Sri Vaikuntam). Like, how we humans have difficulties, the devas like Brahma, Shiva, Indra have difficulties as well. That’s why, they go to “ThiruPaar Kadal and meet BhagavAn VYUHA Vasudeva Perumal and fall on HIS feet to ‘help them’ when ASURAS/Raakshashas bring trouble for them or attack their lokams. All these lokams inside SAMSARAM are Terrible/Painful places to experience, unless we reach SriVaikuntam with BhagavAn/Acharya Grace/Krupai.
Understanding that a JeevAtham got a body, either Demi-god body or ordinary Human body in any Andam, the purpose of life is “PIRAVIYIN PAYAN PIRAVAAMAI (means, The purpose of this birth is NOT to take RE-BIRTH in the Samsaram PAINFUL Place).
