Guest guest Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Adiyen Sri Krishna Dasan Naishtika Brahmacaryam is the path of one who never enters into householder life but chooses to remain as a bachelor. Pillai Lokacharya and his brother were such. Regarding the sins of the father going to the son ‹ you are confusing Christianity with Vedanta. Each and every peson reaps the rewards of their own karma ‹ no sins are tranfereable to another. Vedanta Desikan was of the opinion that at the time of prapatti all the prapanna's sins are transfered to those who oppose him/her - but transferal of sins is not an integral teaching of Vedanta. What happens to the jivatmas at the time of pralaya is merely speculative conjecture as none of us will be aound to assess the situation and report back to base! Theoretically at pralaya everything goes back to a latent dormant phase - like suspended animation and then is re-projected at the time of srishti. The problem is not what happens to the cit and acit at the time of pralaya but the concept of "sinners". No one is a "sinner" every single jivatman is the "body" or sarira of Sriman Narayna and is thus a being of truth, divinity and wisdom, unfortunately the jiva's consciousness has been contracted by Karma based upon ignorance - avidya. So as long as we are in ignorance and performing actions out of ignorance we will contiue in samsara even after pralaya. Sriman Narayana gives us countless opportunities to surrender to Him and get out of Samsara ‹ that is the only purpose of creation of sristhi and pralaya - this is what is important to understand - not the administrative details!
