[t'venkatam] re types of dharmam 1

 

 

Dear sri sukumar swamin and sri vaishNava perunthagaiyeer,

 

I always admire the way sri sukumar puts his points across. Here also he

raised a point on the difference between vaikunta and brahma.

 

-- Many thanks for considering my points for scrutiny and advise.

 

 

Quote continues: One interesting question that can be raised is: Given that

the stotram is called visNu sahasranAmam, why did Sri VyAsa not start the

stotram as vishNur viSvam vashatkAro, and instead chose to start it as

viSvam vishNur vashatkAro...?

Based on the SrI BhaTTar's anubhavam, viSvam is the name that symbolizes the

primary attribute of the para form as one of shAdguNya paripUrNatva, and

vishnu and the following names then elaborate on the name or the guNa

represented by the name viSvam.

 

 

--- Something to add on this as per my understanding of bhashya of Sri

Madhwa.

Mandukopanishat says - 'omityetat aksharamidam sarvam' and Om is split into

4 parts - a kara, u kara, ma kara and nada. These have been represented by

vishwa-taijasa-prajna-tureeya forms of Narayana. Here Vishwa namaka

Narayana is very important for us as he is the one who is the Controller of

this universe and its jeevas in their Jagrutha(waking) state. He has 19

faces 9 on either side and the central face is elephant face. Whoever does

upasana on this form of Narayana will get the same form once they are graced

upon by Vishwa Namaka Vishnu.

 

Also,Madhwa Siddhantha states that Vishwa namaka Narayana being in

Vinayaka's belly receives our oblations and protects us. Vinayaka does

upasana on Vishwa form of Lord and hence he had received that form.

 

So this might be reason as to why Vishwa is being hailed first in VSN which

is one among 4 forms of Parabrahman eulogised in Upanishats.

 

 

>Since the length of the post puts a restriction on me we will continue in

next post.

 

-- I really enjoyed your article which deserves several re-reads to

contemplate on Vishnu namas. Many thanks.

 

regards

sukumar
