Rahasya Artham

[Guest guest]

The above phrase has two meanings:

 

a) Esoteric meaning handed down in the Acharya

Sishya parampara

 

b) Hidden or allegorical meanings of incidents,

 

Puranic stories and pasurams.

===============================

I will give an illustrtation of b).

 

I will take the incident of the first three alwars

meeting in a room so small that one could lie down

in, two could sit or three could just stand in.

 

In such cramped space they feel the presence of the

fourth who was none other than Narayana.

 

This is to emphasise the fact that the Paramatma

is closer to the jeevatma than how close two jeevatmas

can be (whether they be wife/husband or father & son .

or just friends.

(to be continued)
