Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 aham Eva para tattvam – I alone am the Supreme Being This represents the answer to the question of “Who is the Ultimate Being?” - In the Vedas, mention is made of numerous deities and we see so many deities that are propitiated through various offerings. As the Lord Himself says in several scriptures like Bhagavad-Gita - the Lord SrImannArAyaNa alone is the ultimate being. The word alone is very important. Many people claim that some other deities are equal or superior to Lord SrImannArAyaNa, and this statement of the Lord conveyed by Thirukkacchinambi negates that argument. In Sri Bhagavad gIta, Arjuna says the same – “na thvat samasthyabyadhika: kuthOnya:” (11.43); nammAzhvAr says in thiruvAymozhi – “oththAr mikkaarai ilayaaya maamaayaa”, both of which mean that there is nobody equal to or superior to Lord SrImannArAyaNa.
