Clarifications

[Guest guest]

Jai srIman nArAyana:

adiyEn would like to know more about certain aspects in the context of our

sampradaya. adiyEn begs your pardon for the ignorance.

1. In Sri Ramayana, there is an incident where the glory of sun god is extolled

by Sage Agastya (Aditya Hridayam). In that sloka, sage Agastya says:

"yesha brahmascha ……" which translates to:

"Indeed, He is the same as

Brahma as well as Vishnu, Lord Shiva,

Skanda, Prajapati, the mighty Indra,

Kubera, Kala, Yama, Soma, Varuna, the

Pitris, the Vasus, the Sadhyas, the

Ashwins, the Maruts, Manu, Vayu, and

the god of Fire. He constitutes created

beings,

………………………………..."

adiyEn's question is: How srIman nArayana can be equated with other gods? Is he

not the one without equal as we know from Purusha Suktham, Narayana Suktham and

other puranas(sAttvika)?

2. In the life of Sri Ramanuja, there is an incident wherein he shares the

ashtakshari secret to all against the dictate of Thirukkoshtiyur Nambi. Though

Nambi forgives him, my question is how does Udayavar's action gel with aAndal's

"Melor seyyadhana seyyom…….." and Varavara muni's "munnor

mozhindhathai murai thappame seidhu….." concepts?

Note: These questions are asked due to adiyEn's ignorance and yearning for an

enlightening clarificiation. If this mail is deemed to stir a hornet's nest,
