vibhava lOkAs

[Guest guest]

Dear friends,

 

For those who like me may have been clean bowled by this paragraph

of Anand:

 

<Also, according to SAstras, those who perform upAsana (deep

meditation) on the vibhava forms of God will reach the vibhava

lOkas, which are actually inside the material world. Similarly,

those who meditate upon the vyUha forms of God will reach the

vyUha lOkas. Please refer to archives for more information on

this issue. Thus, meditation on Lord KrishNa (and not adopting

any standard upAsana prescribed in Upanishads) will make one

attain GOloka, which is inside the material world only. There

is only one spiritual world called VaikuNTha and there is no

gradation in moksha.>

 

 

 

I think this is the article being referred to:

 

http://www.ramanuja.org/sv/bhakti/archives/nov99/0037.html

 

(There are several others

titled `vibhava lOkAs' but they have a lively discussion on Vaikuntha.)

Any other articles that may shed some light on this concept?

 

thanks

Kasturi
