Guest guest Posted October 22, 2000 Report Share Posted October 22, 2000 || AUM mahAgaNapataye namaH || || AUM shrI sha.karAchAryavaryAya namaH || || AUM shrImAtre namaH || 34. ekaishvaryapradAyinI She who bestows the unique aishvaryam (that is moksham) to HER devotees. SHE who grants aishvarya or Lordship. Root "Ish" denotes directing. "Ishvara" means the one who rules all created beings as its directing power inside. "yaH sarveShu bhUteShu tiShTan.h - yaH sarvANi bhUtAni antaro yamati" [bR^ihadAraNyakopaniShad] - Who dwelling inside all creatures, directs all the creatures. These creatures who are directed by "Ishvara" are jivas and they are denoted by the word bhUta. They are forms of Awareness reflected in the limitation called Mind, which is a product of ignorance. They enjoy wakeful and other states. When they realize the infinite brahman, they experience the oneness with him as stated in "tattvamasi" (Thou art that). In the shruti "ekameva advitIyam" it is stressed that ekam is advaita. Hence ekaishvarya is the attribute of advaita state and SHE grants that non-dual unitary state. "eka" means unique. When one is mentioned to be wise and rich, it means he is unique in having learning and wealth in large measure. Similarly in this context, SHE grants powers like aNima, and liberation in a superlative way, to devotees. "ekaishvarya" can mean supreme human greatness like emperorship, and SHE confers such things to HER devotees.
