Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 His Holiness Swami Dayanandaji's very short explanation about the word ananda as an attribte of brahman. http://www.avgsatsang.org/hhpsds/pdf/Ananda.pdf Pranams to all advaitins.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Namaste Shyamji, You have said ' Ananda as an attribute of brahman'. Ananda is the very nature of brahman and not an attribute. Swami Dayanandaji makes this clear at the beginning itself. You are certainly aware of this and your reference to 'attribute' must be only a slip. I am pointing this out only in order that beginners may not be confused. Please excuse me.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Respected Sastri Ji, This is beautiful! Lord Shiva is the doer; Lord Shiva is the enjoyer. Ways of Divine are Blissful (Ananda). Pranam, Virendra. AANANDAYAA DEYA SARVA DEVAANI; AANANDAYAA JIIVANTE JIIVAAH; AANANDAYAA PRALAYAANTAKA, VISHANGA VISHANTI. We emanate from BLISS We sustain in BLISS We merge in BLISS "S.N.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Sashtang pranams Sastri-ji This underscores how truly blessed we are to have your auspicious association. You know I had intended to put the term attribute in quotes - my sentence was intended to read 'Ananda as an "attribute" of Brahman', precisely for the same reason you are rightly saying - that many students make the habit of thinking of bliss or ananda as an attribute of Brahman and Swami Dayananda-ji very patiently and deliberately goes to great lengths to remove this misconception. As i was pressing the send button I noticed I had not put the inverted commas and thought of sending another post immediately to rectify the error, but then thought better of it so as to not attract more attention to the post itself. How benevolent and gracious of you to take the time to read and point out the error. Please continue to bless us in this way by continuing to monitor our ideas, language, etc as your time permits and give us invaluable advice. A hundred pranams May your blessings ever be upon us. Hari Om Shyam P.S. [May I commit the impertinence of repeating my request to you of giving us some glimpses of your favorite sections on the narayaneeyam/bhaktaranjini.] --- "S.N.
