[Kapila muni's sAnkhyA]

[Guest guest]

Dear SrI Chandrasekaran Venkatraman,

 

There is no controversy with the paraSurAma avathAram also. Sage

Kapila who authored the nireeSwara sAnkya is often confused with

the other Kapila(s). But even if this "nireeSwara sAnkya" Kapila is

taken as a Yogi with so-called "power" to find many things, which

are not known to common people, his words are against the pramANam and

therefore his sAnkya is rejected. This is what I outlined using the

"smruthyanavakASa dOsha prasanga... " sUtra, implicitly answering

your question.

'God himself "became" the universe' means that the God SrIman NArAyaNa

attributed by all chit and achit entities in subtle (sUkshma) form as

his SarIram, as per his sankalpam, became attributed by all chit and

achit entities in 'expanded' sUthala form.

 

The sUkshma chit-achit viSishta Brahman SrIman NArAyaNa is the

kAraNam (cause)

 

The sthUla chit-achit viSishta Brahman SrIman NArAyaNa is the

kAryam (effect).

 

This clearly establishes nirdOshatvam, nirvikArathvam of Brahman.

 

The swarUpa iykyam (identity) of ParamAthma and the universe

(all chit and achit vastus) is NOT the purport here. Universe

is different from ParamAthma SrIman NArAyaNa. But by the

Sareera-Athma relationship between the universe and BhagavAn,

the Vedanta explains clearly that the ParamAthma is

upAdAna kAraNAm as well as nimiththa kAraNam of the universe.

 

Thanks & Regards

M.S.HARI RAmAnuja DAsan (mshari)
