Guest guest Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Namaskaram I need a small favour from bhagavathas Looking for sanskrit words which are in tune with our vaishnavite/hindu tradition. equivalent for I am looking for forming a company which will serve the intrests of Vaishnavites/Vaishnava culture. I am looking for some ideas for a name which has sanskrit/tamil and traditional equivalents ( which also looks good in the modern world ) from people who have more knowledge on slokas/sastras etc ( 1 ) Gold example swarna,kanaga etc ( 2 ) Kingdom/Empire example rajya,samrajya,chakravarthy,etc ( 3 ) Tradition/Culture samskriti,kalalaya,alaya,divyadesa etc I could think of some of these. I need some help on this from sri vaishnavites Srirangam chakravarthy Sumithra Varadarajan <sumivaradan wrote: Sri Parthasarathi thunai Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha Sri Vara Vara munayE Namaha Sri vAnAchala mahA munayE Namaha In the previous posting we enjoyed emperuman as 'ponnuru'. Next azhvar attributes the qualities of precious gems to emperuman - 'maNiyuruvil bhoodham IyindhAi'. Emperuman is like a precious gem and he is the five bhoodhas, Akasam (sky), vayu (air), agni (fire), jalam (water), bhoomi (earth). Sri kulasekara perumal in his divine work 'mukunda malai' beautifully portrays emperuman as 'maNi' as follows: "bhakthApAya bhujanga gArudamaNi: trilOkya rakshAmaNi: gOpeelOchana sAdhakAmbhudhamaNi: soundarya mudrA maNi: I ya: kAnthAmaNi rukmini ka nagucha dvanthvaikka bhooshAmaNi: srEyO dEvasikAmaNi: dishatu nO gOpAla choodAmaNi: II Keeping the same in mind Thirumangai azhvar calls emperuman to be 'maNiyuruvil bhoodham IyindhAi'. Emperuman stays as the body made of pancha bhoodhas and has the qualities of the gems. Sri Periya vAchan pillai compares the qualities of emperuman and the gems as 1) vadivil tEjOmayan- emperuman glitters like the gems 2) mAnikka seppilE pon pOlE tanakkAsrayamAna svaroopaththikkum svaroopAsrayamAna guNangalukkum thAn suddha sattvamaya mAgaiyAlE prakAsakamAyirukkai- Take for example a gem studded plate decorated with gold. Emperuman being suddha sattva mayan his glory spreads to both the svaroopa that gives him form and also the qualities that depends on the svaroopam. 3) thAn svaroopaththai kAttilum bhOkyamAyirukkai - highly enjoyable. So there by azhvar showed that emperuman is someone much different from the chit and the achit and is a supreme tattva. Thereby the tattva traya knowledge was clearly imparted by azhvar following which another doubt arises in our minds. Then is emperuman such a high tattva that cannot be reached by us? The answer follows in the next line. Meanwhile let us see what geethAcharyan has to say about the above words of azhvar. "bhoomirApO nalO vAyu: kam manO bhuddi rEvacha I ahankAra etheeyam mE bhinnA prakruthirashtathA II" [7-4] [know that this nature spread as panchabhoodhas earth, water, fire, air and sky and manas, mahan and ahankAram, so totally 8 different things all belong to me] "mayi sarvamidham prOktham sootrE manikaNA eva" [7-7] [All these things are joined to me like the beads connected with a string] In this example, geethacharyan shows his sAmyam (similarity) with the thread/string that connects all the beads in a chain of beads. Like the thread all the chetanas and achetanas are connected with emperuman. The thread goes into the beads and binds all of them together. Similarly all the chetanas and achetanas remain as the body and emperuman their athma. A single thread holds all the beads similarly emperuman alone supports all the chits and achits. The thread is hidden at the back of the beads still it doesn't need the support of the beads. Similarly emperuman is hidden by the other tattvas but he doesn't need the support of the other tattvas. If the thread is removed then the beads fall down which indicates that only the thread holds the beads and the thread is independent. Similar is the case with emperuman and the other two tattvas. Though all these similarities hold good between the thread example and emperuman they lays one difference. As per the sastric verse, "anthar bahischa tat sarvam vyApya nArAyaNa: stita: [in all the objects in this world narayaNa: remains inside and outside] which doesn't suit the thread case. "rasOhamapsu kowthEya prabhAsmi sasisooryayO: I pranavas sarva vEdEshu saptha: kE powrusham nrushu II" [7-8] [Kunteeputra! Iam the taste in water, light of the sun and the moon, pravanam among all the vedas, the sound characteristic of the sky, and the maleness of the males. ] Let us enjoy the sowlabhyam of emperuman in the next posting.
