Guest guest Posted February 3, 2003 Report Share Posted February 3, 2003 friends, i read in a book,"pranas of famous siddhas do not leave the body'.this is also told in brhadaranyaka.upanishad.the power exhibited by many temples are due to the place where they are built.like thirumoolar at chidambaram,by dhanvantari at vaitheeswaran koil,by patanjali at rameswaram,by bogar at palani by kaduveli siddar at tirukanchipuram.also we haveat mantralayam sri raghavendre swami and sadasiva brahmendra at nerur.the velankanni church at nagapatnam and the ayappan temple are famous because of great saints who attained samadi's there. cdr bvn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A siddha is a human being who by virtue of some inherent reason or practice in this mortal world is able to exhibit some unusual qualities that are not normally found in other human beings . We should pause for a while here and understand that all such powers or qualities are relevent only to this Vyavaharika Prapancha and are totally useless for the attainment of 'Mukti' 'which is, in fact, the goal of all human beings in Life. It is when the Prana detaches from the human Body that the body is said to have perished and is fit to be burnt and got rid of. After the disposal of the body of the siddha there is nothing left over , is it not? One should realise that Prana is Ishwara and has no particular special connction with individual jivas even if that particular jiva was a siddha. Hari Om! Swaminarayan Mail Plus - Powerful.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 dear sir, i am not a expert to interpret the upanishads.however,what you say is true,ie after the jiva attains mukti it merges with paramatma.what i ment by the pranas does not leave the body,it comes to the help of all devotees just like any other god comes.like shirdi saibaba said "my tomb will respond to all quieries".also the great saint raghavendra came out of his brindavan at mantralayam to speak to a british collector, the britisher was shocked to hear that the saint attained samadhi 200 years back it is recorded in the madras gazzete.the great siddas continue to come to the help of their disiples/devotees,when ever they remember them,as it will be convenient for all to understand.i shall be greatful if any one can throw more light in this. pranams cdr bvnadvaitin, Swaminarayan T <tvswaminarayan> wrote: > > > "vaidyanathiyer <vaidyanathiyer>" <vaidyanathiyer> wrote: > friends, > i read in a book,"pranas of famous siddhas do not leave the > body'.this is also told in brhadaranyaka.upanishad. > > ------- > > Dear Shri Vaaidyanathiyer, > > It will be nice if you can elaborate with proper references on your understanding that Brahadaranyaka upanishad tells us that the prana of siddhaas stay put in this prapancha. > > A siddha is a human being who by virtue of some inherent reason or practice in this mortal world is able to exhibit some unusual qualities that are not normally found in other human beings .
