bhOgyAmrutam - bhAvaha (Continued)

[Guest guest]

Detailed explanation : It is not enough to say that He is just existing. One

should know, How He is existing and the reason behind that. Only then, can one

comprehend His Love for us.

1) Having become the 24 principles : The 24 principles are

i) five - pancha bhUtas (sky, air, fire, water & earth)

ii) five - viShayAs (sound, touch, form, taste & smell)

iii) Ten - senses of perception and senses of knowledge (5+5)

iv) One - mind

v) One - intelligence

vi) One - ahankAram (ego)

vii) One - mUla prakruti

Total = 24

25 is the jIva(soul) and 26 is considered to be the paramAtma (supreme Lord).

 

2) (Having become) the 21 - seven islands, seven oceans & the seven mountain

ranges : These signify His taking the form of action.

 

3) (Having become) - The 12 AdityAs

 

4) The Lord (the cause of all of these) : He is the cause of all of these. He

has entered into all (jIvAs and prakruti) and exists as their inner soul and

shines in all His splendour in all of them.
