Guest guest Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Unquote: "Parama Padam is not a planet or place in the universe, it is a state of present being" differs drastically from our concept of vishistadvaitam and adheres to the concept of Advaitam. Our lord Sriman Narayana is called "UbayavibUdhi Nathan" meaning, he is an owner of two vibhUdis. One is the "Leela VibUdhi" and the other is the "Nithya vibhudi". This nitya vibhudhi is, the moksam or sri Vaikuntam or Paramapadam. Every other place outside the "Nitya vibhudhi" is "Leela vibhudhi". This includes Swargam, Naragam etc and every other Cosmos in this universe. Our very motto in this samsara is to get released from this Leela vibhudhi and attain his nithya vibhudhi and do nitya kainkaryam to him. The Srivaikunta gadyam of our emberumanar descibes in length and breadth the description of Paramapadam. I request the Poster of this mail to hear the vyakyanam of this as upanyasam from a renowned scholar. Again going through the vyakynams in the beginning stages may only lead to confusion.
