Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha,

Namaskaram ‘G’ Swami,

With Acharya ThiruvAdi Bhalam and Velukkudi Sri Krishnan Swami’s Aasirvadham, adiyen will share some details regarding devareer’s question

Yes, Karmas are “Anaadhi அனாதி” as Sri Velukkudi Swami and all PoorvAcharyas and BhagvAn SriKrishna has said in the past.

“Aadhi / आदि / ஆதி ” means Beginning or Origin. So there is first start date, but when Sanskrit word “An or Na” is added, it gives opposite meaning.

An + Aadhi = Anaadhi,

अन + आदि = अनादि,

அன்  + ஆதி = அனாதி.

Anaadhi / अनादि / அனாதி means “Without a Beginning or without an Origin, means ETERNAL”.

Now, how to understand this “Eternal” word Anaadhi / अनादि / அனாதி using our “Maternal” mind for simplicity as follows.

Say, the number 1 followed by 3 zeros, we say as one thousand easily, 1000

1 followed by 6 zeros, we say 1 million, 1,000,000 (10⁶),

1 followed by 9 zeros, we say 1 billion, 1,000,000,000 (10⁹),

1 followed by 12 zeros, we say 1 trillion, 1,000,000,000,000 (10¹²),

etc…….

Now, how about,

2 times million : a million million (1,000,000,000,000 or 10¹²), 1 followed by 2×6 zeros, same as trillion

3 times a million: a million million million (1,000,000,000,000,000,000 or 10¹⁸), 1 followed by 3×6 zeros, same as 2 times a billion.

Yes, we can say by mouth all these numbers,

Now, how about,

1000 (10³) times a million : a million million million million million million million million etc thousand times (10⁶⁰⁰⁰)……………..1 followed by 1000*6 zeros.

1,000,000 (10⁶ / 1 million) times a million : a million million million million million million million million etc million times (10^6,000,000)……………..1 followed by 1,000,000*6 zeros.

Now, how about,

(10^6,000,000 ) times a million : Ok, to some extent, I can spell this.

No lets try further

(10^{6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000} ) times a million : Really?. Do we even need to spell this. Sorry, I cannot, I’m tired.

So, there is a “Saturation Point” for us, beyond which we are not capable of Spelling it further. So we call it as “INFINITY”, that doesn’t mean there is NO actual zeros to it. It is because I’m NOT capable of spelling it further. So, any further zero’s added to the INFINITY is also called as INFINITY, since we have already crossed beyond our Initial Saturation Point of Spelling it. we don’t want to take any more risk of damaging our brain & mouth, so lets name it Simply as “INFINITY”, is what we finally conclude.

Same as our KARMAS are ININITY times INIFINTY times INFINTY times continuously…….., Hence, we don’t know the Karmas Origin, though BhagavAn SriKrishna may know. So, let’s call it as “Anaadhi (DON”T KNOW THE ORIGIN)”. Hence, karmas are called as Anaadhi, same as our Births in this samsaram are Anaadhi.

So, Sri Velukkudi Swami has said, instead of investigating the Karmas Origin, the focus to be HOW to WIPE it OFF in the same Birth that we took, which is attainable with Swami Ramanujar’s Grace in this Janma which Devareer already achieved by saying “Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha“. So, no worries.
