Namaskaram swamy,
adiyen listened to devareer’s upanyasam titled “உருவ வழிபாடு சிறந்ததா அருவ வழிபாடு சிறந்ததா in Youtube channel “Velukudi krishna swamy upanyasam rare” (5 parts)

In part 1 :- Patanjali muni’s ashtanga yogam was explained. While describing about samadhi, Brahma swaroopam was mentioned as formless and being formless, it is very difficult to worship / meditate on Brahma swaroopam. Also, Vaikuntanathan’s rupam is mentioned as para rupam.
Swamy, I could understand that the manifested forms of Brahmam are with form. The benefits and easiness of worshipping with form are well understood. But, here I am not discussing about manifested forms.
My mind somehow revolves in believing unmanifested form of Brahmam (Brahmam in it’s original condition) could be formless. The difficulty of worshipping formless Brahmam is a different issue.
If Brahma swaroopam is formless, then Brahmam is also formless?.
Whether para rupam (Vaikuntanathan’s rupam) is also formless?.
After understanding about Brahmam, for many years I used to worship the Brahmam in sila rupam.
Swamy, I have a feeling that I am comfortable in worshipping formless Brahmam. Even now while worshipping, the sila rupam does not get into my mind. I have to force myself on the form. It may also be due to the meditation I was practicing earlier.
I would be very happy to get the clarification on the above, to put an end on the form of Brahmam, which lingers in me.
Hope I will get the clarification.
