Guest guest Posted June 5, 2000 Report Share Posted June 5, 2000 Dear Shree Raja Krishnasamy, The sentient souls (Jeevaatmans) are classified into three types namely 1. Badha (tied/bound by their own individual karma which has not date of origin-Anaadi) 2. Muktha (liberated from all karma) 3. Nitya (ever-free from karma - eternally) The Veda establishes the existence of Nitya Soories in Shree Vaikunta Paramapadam that is a transcendental divine world totally different from material world by stating that "Yatra Poorve Saadyaas Santi Devaa:", "Sadaa Pasyanti Sooraya:". Though the Jeevaatmans are classified into such three types, their nature-reality(Swaroopa) is of same type to all the three types of Jeevaatmans but the roopa(form) and attributes (knowledge etc) are only different. All these three types are eternal as far as their existence is concerned. The Nitya Sooris are called so because the term "Nitya" indicates that they are ever-free from karma and were untouched by karma at any time. "Soori" indicates that they serve (do service) to Lakshmi and Naaraayanan in Paramapadam as Sheshas and Shine because of their nature. The "Ananda" Biss that they have is equal to that of Lord and the Mukta Aatmas. Their form is of Sudha-Satva. To name a few Nitya Sooris, Aadi Shesha, Garuda, Vishvaksena and so on. There are innumerable nitya soories. They are with the Lord in Shree Vaikunta as if the their age and Lord's age are the same but in fact there is no age for Lord and for the souls. This is to stress only that the nitya soories are eternally with the Lord in Shree Vaikuntam. For more details regarding these concepts, please write to me. Thanks & Regards M.S.HARI Ramanuja Dasan ======================================================================== "Raja Krishnasamy" <rxkrishn wrote: > ------------ > Attachment: > MIME Type: multipart/alternative > ------------ Could some of the learned members of this group explain the real meaning of who or what a "nitya-suri" is, the root of the word and why one would be called a "nitya-suri" ?
