Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Sri Balaji Sundarajan, Death can come to a person in any age, or in any way( accident , peaceful, disease etc)If one is pure devottee and die at the time of death thinking of perumal he will go to Vaikuntha.Even if a pure devotte may not be able to think about perumal at that time Perumal will remember him and will take him there.For other people they take birth according to the state of mind at the time of their death.( they get a state of mind according to the way they led that life.)They create their own body for the next life.Those who commit suicide they dont get any body at all . they wander with their subtle body without getting any gross body .(Ghosts). Because they didn't wait till their time of natural death. they are punished.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Smt. Vedavalli, I agree to your view that the suicidal souls go about as ghosts. But was the act (suicide) not determined and willed by him?

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Dear Balaji Sundarrajan The theories of all the Hindu religions including Vaishnava philosophy believe in the omnipotence of Karma. Sufferings and enjoyment are the fruits of Karma. All the theologies talk about redemption of the soul and how to overcome the effects of Karma resuling in samsara and transmigration. Any good or bad resuls are the rewards and punishment for the good and bad acts done in the previous births which we call as prarabda Karma. Regarding the other point about the pious souls meeting with unnatuaral deaths,the Lord has assured in His Varaha sarama sloka that when a person surrenders to Him when he is hale and hearty, the Lord remembers His Bhaktha at his last moments, lying as a log of wood, and leads him to moksha. I am not sure about place of ghosts in vaishnava philosophy.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Sri vijayaraghavan Swami, We all know at the time of birth , our time of death also fixed.People of intelligence , even if they undergo sever troubles and sorrows ,with forbearance wait patiently, till their time of natural death and get a body in the next birth.. But those who are bereft of knowledge, committ suicide whimsically,without thinking of the result of their act. They disobey god's law, and get punishment by not getting a gross body. God never interfere in our acts.He only sanctions our desires.He has given us intelligence and minute independence also.If a son disobeys a father and dont listen to him, what will a father say? He will say,if you do like that you will sufferand i cant help it."is it not? The same way if a soul disobey God's law, the same applies here. he wont get a body and suffers as a ghost. most people don't even know Paramatma is there sitting by our side.in Kathobanishad it is said about two birds sitting in a tree. one bird vigorously eating the fruits of the tree.and another sitting quietly and watching the act of the other bird.when the bird fortunately turn his head and sees the bird sitting quitely and make him his friend it's life is success.otherwise this bird has to go on eat the fruits of his Karma again and again.one bird is jeevatma which is eating fruits and the other one is Paramatma. He is the superviserof our acts.He never interfere in our acts unless we take shelter of Him.Krishna says in Bhagwath gita ,i give intelligence,remembrance and forgetfulness.'So if with intelligence we take shelter of His lotus feet he is always there to guide us.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Smt.Vedavalli ranganathan, Thanks for your explanation, I have read that we never can do anything that is not willed by him. I think that explains the Sharanagathi principle more clearly. We can never ever diobey his writ. Even that is willed by him!! That explains the Ravana's charecter also. Hope you agree else correct if my understanding is wrong.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Swamin, Yes all the philosophy deals with Karma. But Karma alone doesnot upgrade or degrade a soul. The fruits that we bear in the subsequent births are due to other efforts like Sharanagathi, prapatti and all which actually have a certain degree of nullifying effect on the karma. As for ghosts, this is also one repentant state of the Jiva.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Sri: Dear Sri Balaji, Can you let us know the reference from where you got this notion about Thirumangai Azhvar getting killed. 6000padi Guru Parampara Prabhavam does not say much about the final days of Azhvar. It only says that he spent his time in Srirangam along with his wife Kumudhavalli Nacchiyar, doing service to Periya Perumal. Elsewhere I have read that Azhvar moved with Nacchiyar to Thirukkurunkudi and there becoming disinterested in the world, he spent his final days enjoying Nambi's beauty and reached paramapadam. Even now, there is a small sannidhi in the middle of a field there, which is supposed to be the exact location where Azhvar left this world. But no where have I come across this story that Azhvar was killed. Please clarify. adiyEn madhurakavi dAsan ramanuja, "bsundarrajansrivilliputtur" <bsundarrajansrivilliputtur> wrote: > Karma-vinai(deeds) can not be overridden, even for Kaliyan (Thiru- > mangai-mannan ) > (Almighty blessed soul - Mayarvara mathinalam...), who got killed... > to get > moksham.. and not achieved a smooth salvation like Vishnu-chittar > (Peri-Aazhwar) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
