Guest guest Posted December 20, 2001 Report Share Posted December 20, 2001 Dear Sriman Mukund and Sriman Ramakrishna, In my humble opinion there is an answer to this in Sri Sri Guna Ratna kosa Sloka of Sri Bhattar: AhuR vEdAn amAnam katichana katichArAjakam viSvametat rAjanvat kEchidISam guNinampi gunaih tam daridrANamanyaih BhikshAvanayaih surAjam bhavamti cha jadAh tE talAkaryakArshuh yE tE SrIranga harmyAngaNa kalpa latE! na kshaNam lakshyamAsan Some people do not have any regard for Vedas. Some people say Kind of this universe is nirguNa. Some others say the Emperor is a beggar (rudra). Others say there is no ruler. Why? Oh Golden creeper encircling the divine SrirangadhAma, only because You havent looked at them even for a while. So whoever do not have the nirhEtuka krupA of SrimannArAyaNa (the embodiment of which is jaganmAtA lakshmI - unilke in other hindu schools where mother godess is the energy), cannot realise Him. Ref: macchittah sarva durgANi matprasAdAt tarishyasi where rAmAnuja bhAshya says mat prasAdAt Eva tarishyasi only because of my mercy. so what is the sign that we have got His mercy? once He enters our mind, all our puNya and pApa will vasih (say Alwars). He will never leave us even if we forget Him. these are the things I am learning from the learned. all mistakes are due to my poor understanding and self-study. dAsAnudAsan Vishnu > > >______________________ >______________________ > >Message: 2 > Tue, 18 Dec 2001 13:32:56 -0600 > Pattangi <danp >Paratatvam of LORD SrimanNarayana > >sri: > >We have been asked by Vedics and non-Vedics as to why is Sriman Narayana >is the Supreme etc? > >adiyEn is forwarding this note by sri Rama Krishna K. >Please add to these points and correct if needed, so we can have this put up on the web. > >======Forwarded note from sri Rama Krishna K.========== > >Priya Bhagawadbanduvullara, >Lord Srimannarayana is the supreme deity as per the paratatva nirnayam >done by all our Azhwars, Acharyas and many many saints of the past and >the present.
