Question on TattvAbhimAni Devata's.

[Guest guest]

Dear friends,

 

I was just wondering if there are any references in Puranic texts which

describe what TattvAbhimAni devatas govern what parts and control functions

in our body. Is this described anywhere in HarikatAmruthaSara or other

books? I am really curious to know this from all learned scholars on the

list. Thanks for your time.

 

Regards

Sri Jaganatha dhAsaru salutes BhArathi devi in Hari KathAmrutha sAra

 

krathiramana- pradhyumna- namdhane chaturavimshathi thathvapathi

dhEvathegaLige guruvenisuthiha mAruthana nijapathni

sathatha hariyali gurugalali sadhrathiya pAlisi bhAgavatha

bhAratha purANa rahasya thathvagaLarupu karuNadhali

1-6

 

Daughter of Krutidevi (Lakshmi) & Pradyumna( Narayana), wife (nijapathnI)

of Maruti who is the Guru for abimAna devathas for twenty four principles,

bless me with unshaking devotion to Sri Hari and gurus like Brahma . Let

me clearly understand the quintessence (rahasya) of puranas like Bhagavata

& Bharata.

 

Krutiramana pradyumna

 

During the time of shristi, paramAthma Sri Hari takes rUpAs as Vasudeva,

Sankrishna, Pradyumna, and AnirudHa as Yuha avatara. At the same time,

Lakshmi takes rUpas as mAya, jaya, kruthi, and sAnthi. Hence kruthidevi is

wife of Pradyumna.

 

nijapathni (niyatha pathni)

 

The consorts of devathas in higher lokAs take janmAs as consorts of

devathAs when they take birth. Hence nijapathni. This need not be true

for manisha janma (regular jIvas still in bondage).

 

Vayu, guru of 24 tathvAbhimini devathAs except awyaktha thatva abhimani is

Lakshmi devi.

 

There is a tathvAbimani devatha for each tathva. The 24 tathvas are:

 

5 pancha bhUtas: prithvi (earth), aapas (water), thEjas (agni), vayu

(air), and aakAsha (space)

 

5 pancha thanmAthra: sabdha (sound), sparsa (touch), rUpa (sight), rasa

(taste), and gandha (smell)

 

5 pancha jnaneEndriyas: srothra (ear), thvak (skin), chaksu (eye), jihva

(tongue), aakrAna (nose)

 

5 karmendriyas: vAk (mouth), pAni (hand), pAdha (legs), pAyu (anus),

upastha (genital)

 

and awyaktha tathva (?), mahath tathva, ahankAra tathva, and manas tathva.

 

Perhaps knowledgeble person(s) in the list may want to list the abimAni

devathA for each tathva for everybody's benefit and also explain what is

awyaktha and mahath tathva.

Here is the listing of Tatvagalu & their abhimani devathas.

Mukhyabhimani is Lord Sri Hari and Smt. Taraji has rightly

quoted Srimad Harikathamrutha sara to prove this point.

 

The following information has been extracted from a small booklet by

Sri Waayikar Krishnacharyaru of Bangalore. He was a great

Jnani & a great Haridasa in its true sense. Most of u would have

heard of Sri Gorebala Hanumantharayaru, who was jeernodharaka

of Haridasa Sahitya. Sri Acharya was the driving force behind

Sri Gorebala Hanumantharayaru.

" I am not the doer, shri Hari is the doer, all the actions that I do are His

worship. Even then, the worship I do is through His grace and not otherwise.

That devotion and the fruits of the actions that come to me are due to His

recurring grace "

If one always practices to do actions with a dedicated spirit to Hari, in

this

way, it pleases Vishnu.
