Guest guest Posted June 22, 2001 Report Share Posted June 22, 2001 Dear SrI Narayana Bhaktas, Here are my two unrelated humble questions:- 1.Could anyone Kindly explain to me who is Neela Devi. 2.If the Jivathma and Karma are Anadi and eternal then how could Lord Narayanan / Brahman become the material cause of the Jiva?

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2001 Report Share Posted June 26, 2001 sri: srimathe ramanujaya namaha srimatha nigamantha maha desikaya namaha Dear Sri Suresh S, You equired: > 1.Could anyone Kindly explain to me who is Neela Devi. Sri M.S.Hari of Singapore had explained the concept in another mailing list. I have reproduced pertinent sections of his article. This is a delicate concept, I would suggest one to concentrate while reading this article. >-------Begin----------< SwAmi SrIman nigamAntha mahA dESika in his celebrated grantham SrI nyAya sidhdAnjanam has answered this question clearly. I quote swAmi's words from "Iswara parichchEdam" as follows: "EthEna bhUmyAdErapi tadamSathvavachanam nirvyUdam". SrI (ie., LakshmI - VishNu pathni) is in the Iswara-kOti. That is, she is Iswara-thathvam just like VishNu is Iswara-thathvam. But, using ati-dESa nyAyam, VishNu has danda-darathvam and SrI has purushakArathvam as unique features to themselves. SrI is Sesha-bhUthi of VishNu. Apart from this, all aspects applicable for VishNu as Iswara-thatvam (upAyathvam, upEyathvam, jagath-kAraNathvam, Sarva-AadhArathvam, Sarva-niyantruthvam, Sarva-SEshithvam, etc) are equally applicable to SrI as Iswara-thathvam. You have to note that the brahma-sabdam denotes the divya-dampathi -SrI & VishNu ie., SrIman nArAyaNa is the para-brahman. On the other hand, bhU (bhUmi-dEvi) and nILA dEvi are only in the jeeva-kOti. BhU and nILa are not Iswara-tatvams. They are jeeva tatvams. Therefore, bhU and nILa are declared in the SAstra as SarIram (body) of SrI (lakshmI). BhU and nILA are therefore amSams of SrI (LakshmI). Therefore, bhU and nILa are manifestations of SrI in SarIra-AtmA bhAvam only. Therefore, SrI is different from bhU & nILa dEvis. >----------End-----------< Best Wishes, Malolan Cadambi _______ Get your free @ address at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
