Guest guest Posted August 26, 2000 Report Share Posted August 26, 2000 Pranavaakaarine Sri Ranganaatha Swamine Nama: Dear Friends: Here is a compelling reason that Shriman Narayana is the Supreme Reality. (Thanks to a Srivaishnava friend.) Syllable count of five in the Panchakshari does not include the ubiquitous pranavam whereas Shreemadh Ashtaaksharam does inherently inlcude the pranavam. This is because the ubiquitous pranavam grammatically & etymologically refers exclusively to Sriman-Narayana, to the exception of all other devathaas (including Siva.) Pranavam means all Jiva realities (including you, me, Chathur mukha Brahma, Siva etc) are essentially and exclusively servants only to the Supreme Reality, Shriya:pathi. So those who use the pranavam indiscreetly, think about this... If you _interpolate_ the praNavam in front of your mantra, (eg namachivaaya, shakthi, sharavana-bhava, ganapathaye nama:) the mantra would not refer to the intended demi-god of your mantra. It will rather directly address only Sriman Narayana. -adiyen Venkatanatha dhasan Get your FREE Email and Voicemail at Lycos Communications at http://comm.lycos.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
