Guest guest Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Namasthe to all May I add the following in connection with the above subject: The Guru if he is wise,very seldom, if ever, initiates the disciple into his own form of worship.A disciple is initiated into that form alone for which he is competent.He is not even initiated into the form which was that of his ancestors. Shiva in its two-fold aspect of Nirguna (Attributeless) and Saguna (Endowed with attributes) and of the manifestation of Shakthi, Nada and Bindu, and of the emanation of Bindu, Nada and Bija from the first Bindu. from the second bindu originated Raudri and from Nada originated Jyeshta and from Bija originated Vama and from these three emanated Rudra,Brahma and Vishnu. They are respectively Jnaa(wisdom),Ichcha(will),Kriya(action) and correspond with Vahni(Fire),Indu(Moon),Arka(sun).When the first bindu bursts and divides itself into two, there arises a volume of sound in which the letters of the alphabet are indiscernable.This sound is Shabda Brahman.(as per some upasakas) Some define this to mean mere external spoken sound; others speak of it as inner sound (Antara shabda).Both these interpretations are erroneous; for shabda brahman is not something inert(Jada) but is the Chaitanya in all beings, i.e.it is the stress towards articulate sound. This is the Para stage of sound. This shabdha brahman assumes the form of Kundali and manifests itself iin the form of letters in all animate creatures. ______________________ India Education Special: Study in the UK now.
