The glory of Bhagbata.

[Guest guest]

Dear adwaitins,

Namaskar, When I was reading Bhagbata I thought this might be of interest to

someone on the List. This is about who knows the whole truth of Lord? (No

body knows.) My understanding here is. Pleae correct me, If I did not

understood right here.

Thanks.

Sincerely,

Raju Chhatry

 

 

Srimad Bhagavata: Discourse XIII, Book 12.

 

Ym Brahma Barurendra rudra marutah: stunwanti dibyee stabai

berdy Sangapadakramopanisadi Garyenti em samaga..........

 

Suta began again: Hail to the glorious Lord, whom Brahma (the creator),

Varuna (the God presiding over the waters), Indra (the chief of gods), Rudra

(the god of destruction), the Maruts (the wind -gods) extol through heavenly

hymns; whom the chanters of the Samaveda glorify by means of the Vedas (viz.,

phonetics, grammar prosody, astronomy, etymology and Kalpa or the branch of

knowledge prescribing the ritual and giving rules for ceremonial and

sacrificial acts), their analysis into word marking their sequence and the

Upanisads; whom the Yogis perceive with their mind fixed on Him through

meditation; yet whose whole truth neither the hosts of gods nor of the demons

are able to know! (1)

May the incoming and outgoing breaths of the almighty Lord assuming the form

of the divine Tortoise_who felt sleepy as a result of His being scratched

(and thereby soothed) by the ends of the rocks (forming part) of the colossal

Mount Mandara revolving on His back (while the ocean was being conjointly

churned by the gods and the demons for the sake of nectar)-protect you!

Responding to the subtle impetus communicated by those breaths in the guise

of the flow-tide and ebb-tide, the constant rise and fall of the waters of

the ocean know no rest till now ! (2)

**************

I bow to the (celebrated) sage Suka the son of Vyasa, whose mind is (ever)

full in (the realization of) his own blissful character and who has thereby

abandoned the thought of another (the notion of diversity), nevertheless

whose firmness was shaken by the charming stories of the invincible Lord

(Vishnu) and who graciously dilated upon the Bhagvata-Purana connected with

Him, which reveals the (highest) truth, and (as such) wiping out the

suffering of all. (68) Book 12 Discourse 12.
