Guruvani Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Is it Surya Narayana? from the Vaidic version it would be. From the Bhagavat Paramahansa commentary, no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guruvani Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Sridhar Maharaja: Savitur generally means surya, the sun. And the sun means, figuratively, that which shows or illuminates; that by which we can see. The three gross and subtle strata within this world are shown to us by a particular thing, savitur. What is that? The soul. Actually, the world is not shown to us by the sun, but by the soul. What really gives us perception and allows us to see gross things? It is not actually the sun that helps us see; we see with the help of the soul. This is found in Bhagavad-gita (yatha prakasayaty ekah krtsnam lokam imam ravih). The soul reveals this world to us just as the sun does. The sun can show color to our eyes, the ear can reveal the sound world, and the hand can reveal the touch world. But really in the center is the soul. It is the soul who gives light to this world, who gives us an understanding of the environment, the world of perception. All perception is possible only because of the soul. Here, the word savitur, which generally means sun, can only mean soul, for the soul, like the sun, shows us everything.

Kulapavana Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Is it Surya Narayana? you should ask your guru that question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guruvani Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 you should ask your guru that question. you mean his diksha guru or his siksha guru? Can a siksha guru give the answer also? Or, is the diksha guru the only guru you that can supply the answer? Maybe he has accepted Sridhar Maharaja as his siksha guru and has now gotten the most qualified answer?

Kulapavana Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 you mean his diksha guru or his siksha guru? IMO he should first ask the guru that gave him the mantra - that is how the system is supposed to work. later - if needed - he can broaden his understanding by seeking suitable siksha from others.

Maybe he is just a curious person and not even duly initiated into the mantra? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gayatri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
