Vaasudeva Swaroopa ( Form of Vaasudeva)

----------------------

 

Sage Parasara invoked the blessings of Sage Vasistha

and Pulasthya Brahma, spent a few minutes in intense

introspection, and meditated on Narayana & the almost

impossible task before him. Out of that silence... and

straight from his soul sprung an ethereal

"Pranava-naada", a unique pulsating paean to the

Purusha.

 

“ Maitreya, Sri Mahavishnu is the Source of all things

manifest and unmanifest in the Creation and from Him

flow birth and death. Because the Universe exists in

Him and He exists in the Universe simultaneously, He’s

called Vaasudeva. This world that contains you, you

yourself, and that you contain within you, all emanate

& cease in Him. He’s the Karta (creator), He’s the

Bharta (sustainer) and He’s the Kaala (destroyer).

He’s the “Aadi- madhya-antha rahitha” One who Was

there-Is there-Will be there…. Always. Beyond Space

and Time.

 

He’s basically “Avyakta”, Amorphous and Unparametered,

and can only be FELT as a gigantic, sweeping sensation

that voids all other thoughts. During “Pralaya”

(apocalypse) when the entire creation is annihilated,

He alone abides as “Kaala Purusha”, a personification

of Time - Pure, Permanent and Omnipresent- and is

manifested in the eternal cycle of day & night.

 

Hence, Maitreya, do understand that Vaasudeva and

Kaala Purusha are One and the Same. He is both the

Principle & the Anti-principle manifest in all matter:

life & death, past & present, day & night, earth &

sky, bleak darkness & bracing light, killing cold &

nurturing warmth. He’s All, yet He’s Null. “

 

Saying thus, Sage Parasara summoned all his strength

to document the incredible saga of Creation.

 

 

End of Chapter-3
