Guest guest Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest Srivaishnavas, Uttering or reading Narayanaanuvaakam, Purusha sooktham, Upanishads- one would realise the Supreme Lord unambiguosuly; though Vedas mention about Surya, Brahma, Rudra, Agni Indra et al, the words need to understood by looking at the statement before and after and to be understood in overall context to avoid getting misled. It can all be clearly understood [says Alavandhar] that these words all refer to You- Narayana. [These verses are to be read as addressed to Narayana to praise His Supremacy and also in order to clear the confusion of half baked VaidIka as well. – read 11th verse- yesterday’s post for Chaaga pasu nyaya] Ka:sree: sriya: paramasattva samaasraya ka: Ka:puNdareeka nayanah purushOtthama ka: Kasyaayuthaayuthasathaika kalaamsakaamSE Viswam vichithra cidhachith pravibhaaga vrittam. [12] Who is Lord of even SrI:? Who is Her sole Master? Who is the SrI of SrI? Who is the personification and repository, as well as nirvaahakan of Sattva guNA? Who is the red lotus eyed Lord beyond compare? Who is the PurshOtthaman- above all beings- chief of Purusaas- Purushaanaam Utthaman.. whose billionth and billionth of minutest part of one small portion of Your multi-folded and manifold powers, is this entire universe- including jeeva and matter in different states and existence, functioning? There are many statements in Vedas declaring creation of this world.. if one tries to analyse them in totality without violating any of these statements with each other, then one would realise that Sriman Narayanan alone is cause for of this manifested worlds. Creator is Brahma; and protector is Vishnu- you may argue. One has to look at Purushasooktham; It is the grandest of all sruthis; it is there in all Vedas; There only Sriman Narayanan is mentioned as Purushan. He is the Lord of BhUmA Devi and Sree Devi- says Purusha sooktham. Upanishads in one voice have declared that Sriman Narayanan is the Paradevatha; This kind of scriptural authority is not at all found in support of other demi gods in Upanishads. In swEthaswathOra Upanishad, yEkO Rudra: viSwAdhikO Rudra: are mentioned; But even there Purusha sooktha mantras are mixed; VedaahamEtham purusham mahaantham- naanya: panthA ; PurusEna sarvam- etc.. Who grants Sattva guNA correctly?- it is uttered here as : mahaan prabhurvai purusha satvasyaisha pravarrthaka: means: Narayanan – Purusha is the One who blesses with Sattva gunA; It is very clear to all that BrahmA is the master of rajasa guNA; Rudra, Thamasa guna and Vishnu – Satva guNA. If one is blessed with a glance [kataaksham] of Vishnu at his birth, he is supposed to be a saatvIkI- and is blessed with Madhusoodhana kataaksham. Thus, in this Upanishad Rudra word means: the One who destroys Samsaaris affliction- samsaaric disease- namely Sriman Narayanan as Sivan also means- mangaLam- auspiciousness. [read commentary of 11th verse] Thu He alone is Utthama purushan- Chief among Purushas. KaNNan himself declares that in GitA that He is Purusha Utthaman. In GitA, the entire universe is housed in a minutest part of His greatness and glories. Who is He? He is the master and Lord of Sree… He is the Sree of Sree.. Thiruvukkum Thiruvaagiya selvan. She is His [Vishnu] PathnI and He is Sriya: Pathi. Have no doubts.. The Supreme Lord is only Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan- declares Sage Veda Vyasa… .
