Swaraka & Naraka

[Guest guest]

Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha

Srimathe Satakopaya Namaha

Dear Bhagavathas,

Went through the recent ramanuja digest No:247 and got

to know the various details and interpretations on

swarga and naraka.It is true that these two exists

according to our pramanams.Also the jeevatma undergoes

the enjoyment according to the punniya karmas

performed by it (swarga)and suffers for the papa

karmas accumulated by it(Narka). Once this account

comes to an end the jeevatma is pushed into the skies

and stays there and comes down to this earth along

with the rain droplets and gets into rice seedlings

and then gets into rice from the rice gets into a

Purusha sarera. From the purusha sarera to a stree

sarera and then comes to this earth as a baby this is

is the full cycle undergone by the jeevatma.

 

Now what we srivaishnavas seek from god is to get rid

of us from this endless cycle and god has also shown

us very easy ways to come out of this cycle.

The irony of the situation is the palam one gets is

superlative and the means are so simple only

saranagathi.The karmas accumulated by us are

endless.These are endless because of the endless

births what we taken sofar and it is paramatma sriman

narayana who shows us the path by directing us to fall

at his feet and symbolically showing that he will

reduce our karmas to the height of our knees.

 

One should not forget the fact that it is by his

nirheduka krupa that we got to understand Him in this

birth.Also in Srimad Bhagavad Gita Lord Krishna talks

of a simple ways to control one's mind is by

concentrating on the divyamangalavigraha of god which

will help us control our mind.

 

I hope this will clear some doubts one has about the

jeevatma cycle if there are any mistakes I request you

to pardon me and correct me.
