Guest guest Posted October 9, 1997 Report Share Posted October 9, 1997 I am an slient participant in this list. I was discussing with another Vaishanavite about his routnie and during the course of that discussion he informed me something which was quite shocking for me to accept. He informed me that Narayana is not the ultimate and that he himself originated from "Narayanee". He infacted informed me that many a Vaishnavites tend to confuse "Narayanee" as the feminine version of Lord Narayana, which is not the case. He indicates that "Narayanee" is the source for Narayana. My surprise did not end there as he went on to say that "Bhuvaneshwari" is in higher hierarchy then "Narayanee". I was indicating to him that only Narayana can help you to get out of this birth-death cycle and only the Vaishanavite philosophy accounts for Saranagathi, for which he indicated that such a concept exists for the Saivaites also. Please do clarify and correct me and pardon me if I am ignorant Madhavan (madav) Madhavan Sridharan 240 South Chauncey #4, West Lafayette IN 47906.
