" 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.

--- Quoted by Sri madhvAchArya in GitA tAtparya

There has been much debate recently regarding Ayyappa. Each one came up

with their own view. I definitely would not like to contribute any further

on this issue, but would definitely wish to thank all those who could

understand my hridaya.

 

A philosophical discussion :

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

 

In my previous posting on jIva sAdhana vichAra, we had come across the topic

 

of brahma kalpa. I would like to present here an overview of kAla as

defined in Srimad harikathAmrutasAra by Sri jagannAtha dAsa's Indweller sri

jagannAtha vitthala. The basis for the subject is the commentary by Sri

sankarshana wodeyaru.

 

Pl. excuse me for any mistakes and pl. correct me wherever I am wrong. Hope

 

the calculations shown hereunder are not confusing.

 

As usual, the mail is quite long and I request sAdhakAs to have a patient

reading.

 

If the topic is already dealt in the mailing list, I request your apologies.

 

kAla vichAra (Time Aspect)

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

 

The following is a detailed description of KAla wrt. to mAnavAs, dEvathAs &

shrI brahma dEvaru

 

1) Why so much importance to kAla ?

2) What is so important about kAla ?

 

The above questions are answered by Sri jagannAtha dAsaru :

 

kAlAntargata kAlaniyAmaka kAlAtEta trikAlagna |

kAlapravarthaka kAlanivarthaka kAlOthpAdaka kAlamurthi ||

tava dAsOham tava dAsOham

 

shrI hari is kAlAntaryAmi & He is kAla shabdha vAchya. upAsana of

kAlAnAmaka shrI hari forms one of the most important sAdhanAs.

 

parama sUkshma kAlAmsha is considered to be 'kshaNa'. kshaNa could further

be divided into smaller portions, but this would be out of human imagination

 

and hence shrI jagannAtha dAsaru has considered kshana to be the starting

point.

 

 

kAla vichAra of mAnavAs

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

 

1. kshaNa

2. 5 kshaNAs = 1 truti

3. 50 trutis = 1 lava

4. 2 lavAs = 1 nimEsha

5. 8 nimEshas = 1 mAtra

6. 2 mAtrAs = 1 guru

7. 10 gurus = 1 prANa

8. 6 prANAs = 1 paLa

9. 60 paLAs = 1 ghatika (ghalige)

10. 30 ghatikAs = 1 night (12 hrs.) & 30 ghatikAs = 1 hagalu (12 hrs.)

=> 60 ghatikAs = 1 day considered to be 24 hours.

11. 15 days = 1 paksha

12. 2 pakshAs = 1 mAsa (month)

13. 2 mAsAs = 1 rutu

14. 3 rutUs = 1 ayana

15. 2 ayanAs = 1 varsha (year)

=> 360 Man days = 1 Man year

 

shrImad harikathAmrutasAra quotations from aparOksha tAratamya sandhi - 24:

kAla vichAra of dEvathAs

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

 

360 Man Days or 1 Man Year = 1 dEvatha Day

=> 360 Man years = 1 dEvatha year

=> 1,29,600 Man Days = 1 dEvatha year

 

 

 

 

kAla vichAra of ChaturyugAs (kruta - trEta - dwApara - kali

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

 

DY -> dEvatha Year

MY -> Man Year

 

1. kruta Yuga = 4,800 DY = 17,28,000 MY

2. trEta Yuga = 3,600 DY = 12,96,000 MY

3. dwApara Yuga = 2,400 DY = 8,64,000 MY

4. kali Yuga = 1,200 DY = 4,32,000 MY

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

Total 12,000 DY = 43,20,000 MY

kAla vichAra of brahma dEvaru

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

1. Chaturyuga = 1 divya yuga

2. 1000 divya yugAs = 12 hrs. of brahma dEvaru

3. 1000 divya yugAs = 12 hrs. of brahma dEvaru

 

=> 1000 * 43,20,000 MY = 432,00,00,000 MY = 12 hrs. of brahma dEvaru

=> 2000 divya yugAs = 1 Day (24 hrs.) of brahma dEvaru (1 dina kalpa)

=> 864,00,00,000 MY = 1 Day of brahma dEvaru

7. 100 years of brahma dEvaru = 1 brahma kalpa

 

 

The following info. to an extent has been collected from the discourse of

Sri Bannanje Govindacharya on Srimad bhAgavatha.

 

kAla vichAra of manvantarAs

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

 

1. brahma dEvAs hagalu (Day - 12 hrs.) is considered to be srushti kAla.

2. brahma dEvAs rAtri (Night - 12 hrs.) is considered to be praLaya kAla

(Dina Pralaya).

3. brahma dEvAs hagalu is sub-divided among 14 manUs & they are referred to

as manvantarAs. manUs are adhipatIs of these manvantaras.

The following is the list of manUs in serial order and niyAmaka sriman

nArAyaNa

 

i) yajna - svAyambhuva Manu

ii) vibhu - svArOchisha Manu

iii) satyasEna - Uttama Manu

iv) hari - tApasa Manu

v) vaikunta - raivata Manu

vi) ajita - chAkshusha Manu

vii) vAmana - vaivasvata Manu

viii) sArvabhauma - sAvarNi Manu

ix) rushabha - dakshasAvarNi Manu

x) vishvaksEna - brahma-sAvarNi Manu

xi) dharmasetu - dharma-sAvarNi Manu

xii) sudhAma - rRudra-sAvarNi Manu

xiii) yOgeshvara - dEva-sAvarNi Manu

xiv) bruhadbhanu - indra-sAvarNi Manu

 

4. The first manvantara is svAyambhu.

5. We are currently in vaivasvata manvantara

 

 

Division of brahma dEvAs hagalu (1000 divya yugAs) among manvantarAs

 

Since we have 14 manvantarAs, we need to divide 1000 divya yugAs with 14.

 

=> 1000 / 14 = 71 is Quotient & 6 is Remainder.

 

71 Divya Yugas = 71 * 43,20,000 = 30,67,20,000 MY &

6 Divya Yugas = 6 * 43,20,000 = 2,59,20,000 MY (Quotient)

 

As we can see from above calculations, 1 manvantara is not exactly 71 divya

yugAs or 30,67,20,000 MY, since we are left with a quotient of 6 divya yugAs

 

or 2,59,20,000 MY. These 6 Divya yugas or 2,59,20,000 MY must be

distributed among 14 Manvantaras.

 

This is achieved the following way as explained by Sri Bannanje

Govindacharyaru in his lectures on Srimad Bhagavatam.

 

We divide 2,59,20,000 MY (quotient) into 14 portions of 18,50,000 MY.

=> 18,50,000 * 14 = 2,59,00,000 MY (20,000 MY short of 2,59,20,000 MY - We

shall understand about remaining 20,000 MY within a short while)

 

[Note : How did we arrive at the figure 18,50,000 MY is not explained

by Sri Bannanje Acharyaru and I request learned scholars to throw some

light on this. Sri Acharya simply says that we should make 14 portions of

18,50,000 MY]

 

 

This means that the time period of each manvantara is

30,67,20,000 MY (71 Maha yugaas) + 18,50,000 MY = 30,85,70,000 MY

 

After each manvantara, there is a manvantara pralaya for a short period of

time and the 20,000 MY must be distributed among these manvantara pralayas.

 

We must divide 20,000 MY into 13 portions, since, after the last manvantara

there would be dina pralaya.

 

This again leads to a problem as 20,000 MY cannot be divided into 13 equal

portions. The solution is as follows:

 

svAyambhu Manu (the first manu) is at a very higher level in Kaksha

(10th kaksha - refer to tAratamya chart) and hence after this manvantara,

the pralaya would be for 2000 MY. Now we are left with 18,000 MY which need

 

to be divided among 12 manvantara pralayas. This is straight forward, i.e.

all the other manvantara pralayas are for 1500 MY.

 

A more detailed explanation of Brahma Devara Hagalu :

 

As seen earlier, during 1 Day (Dina) of Brahma, there would be Srushti &

Pralaya.

 

Srushti starts with svAyambhuva manu which spans for 30,85,70,000.

 

svAyambhuva 30,85,70,000 MY

Pralaya 2,000 MY

svArOchisha 30,85,70,000 MY

Pralaya 1,500 MY

uttama 30,85,70,000 MY

Pralaya 1,500 MY

tApasa 30,85,70,000 MY

Pralaya 1,500 MY

raivata 30,85,70,000 MY

Pralaya 1,500 MY

chAkshusha 30,85,70,000 MY

Pralaya 1,500 MY

vaivasvata 30,85,70,000 MY

Pralaya 1,500 MY

sAvarNi 30,85,70,000 MY

Pralaya 1,500 MY

dakshasAvarNi 30,85,70,000 MY

Pralaya 1,500 MY

brahmasAvarNi 30,85,70,000 MY

Pralaya 1,500 MY

dharmasAvarNi 30,85,70,000 MY

Pralaya 1,500 MY

rudrasAvarNi 30,85,70,000 MY

Pralaya 1,500 MY

dEvasAvarNi 30,85,70,000 MY

Pralaya 1,500 MY

indrasAvarNi 30,85,70,000 MY

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

Total 432,00,00,000 MY

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

 

After 432,00,00,000 MY, Dina Pralaya starts which also indicates brahma

dEvAs rAtri (night).

 

 

 

 

kAla vichAra of Sriman nArAyaNa

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

 

As already seen 1 day of brahma dEvA equals 864,00,00,000 MY (864 man years)

=> 30 days of Brahma Devaru equals 259,20,00,00,000 MY

=> 1 year of Brahma Devaru equals 311040,00,00,000 MY and

=> 100 years of Brahma Devaru equals 31104000,00,00,000 MY

 

100 years of Brahma Devaru is as if opening the eye lid for Sriman

Naarayana.

shrI jagannAtha dAsaru say this is only aupachArika, just to explain what it

 

would mean to Sriman nArAyaNa

Some more points of interest

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

 

tApasa Manu is Almighty Himself

svAyambhu Manu is at 10th Kaksha

vaivasvata Manu is at 16th Kaksha &

all the remaining 11 Manus are at 19th Kaksha (karmaja dEvathAs)

Re: Some observations

 

Friends,

I was very happy to see Mr. K Thadpathri's voice of sanity and

balance in the welter of highly personalised and emotional

debate. As the Director seems to have decided already that no

further points are likely to emerge on the philosophical issues

involved, I respect his decision. But I would still like to

quote Ishavasya Upanishad and its simple translation to justify

the unavoidable necessity to work towards a final Siddhantha on

such issues, instead of finding either oversimplified arguments

like freedom of choice of beliefs, or sweeping the real points

involved under the proverbial carpet. VMS as a body should

address itself to the principles underlying such debates and

organise frank, fair and valid debates for Thathva Nirnaya

rather than consider victory or defeat in debate.

The following extracts are from a book " Ishavasya Upanishath "

with Bhashya along with Kannada translation published by Sri

Raghavendrashrama , Bangalore.

Manthra No. 9.

" Andhamthamah pravishanthi ye avidyamupaasathe

thatho bhuya iva the' thamo ya u vidyaayaam rathah "

Bhashya - " Anyathopaasakaa ye thu thamondham yanthyasamshayam.

Thatho'dhikamiva vyaktham yaanthi.

Theshaaam anindakaah thasmadyathaaswaroopam thu

naaraaayanamanaamayam ayatharthasya nindaam cha "

Manthra No. 10.

" Anyadevaahurvidyayaa anyadaahuravidyayaa

ithi shushruma dheeraanaam yenasthadvyaachachakshire "

Manthra No. 11.

" Vidyaam chaavidyaam cha yasthavedobhayam saha

avidyayaa mruthyum theerthvaa vidyayaamruthamashnuthe "

Bhashya - Ye viduh saha sajjanaah,

The' nindayaa aytharthasya dukhaajnaanadiroopinah

dukhaajnaanaadisamtheernaah sukhajnaanaadiroopinah

yathaarthasya parijnaanaath sukhajnaanaadiroopathamm yaanthi "

Those who worship the Parathathva in a contrary manner

(vipareetha), they will attain Andhanthamas. Those who are

engaged only in getting the correct Jnana (Yathartha) and will

not reject incorrect Jnana (Ayathartha) will attain even greater

Andhanthamas. Both Ayathartha Jnana and absence of rejection of

Ayathartha Jnana lead to Thamas. Therefore, one should obtain

both the correct Jnana of the Supreme Being, who is free from

all defects and should also reject such incorrect Jnana that

causes attribution of defects to the Lord.

It is stated by the Jnanis that by (Avidya) rejection of

Anayathaajnana, one gets rid of Anishta and gets bliss by

(Vidya) Yathartha Jnana.

Rejection of Ayathartha Jnana leads to removal of Dukha (called

Mruthyu here), while acquisition of Yathartha Jnana, one attains

Mukthi or freedom from bondage (Amrutha).

Balaji Hebbar <bhebbar

Re: Digest Number 264

 

Dear shrI Balakrishna Rao:

 

I stand humbled by your kind words. However, all credit should

rightfully go to that late great savant, the Rt. Hon'ble Prof.

Gururaja Bhat. He was a superb academic, an archeologist, a

historian of religion and an authority on MalabAr culture.

Hon'ble Pt. Bannanje Govindacharya has great regard for him and

took over as Director of the Institute of Indian Studies

founded by the late professor at KaDiyALI, UDupi.

 

I remember the time when Prof. Bhat went (sometimes walking

literally for miles in the hot humid MalabAr climate) to each

and every temple in South Kanara and photographed all the

deities and wrote extensive notes on their origin, period etc.

For his work, the University of Heidelberg in Germany was

planning to not only invite him to occupy the chair of

Indology but eventually award him a D.Litt. degree. Of course,

tragedy struck and he was snatched away from us.

 

It was he who brought up the very pertinent point that the

BRhaspati (Guru) and vAyu cult existed among the MalabAr

brahmins. Hence a connection between UDupi KRShNa and GuruvAyUr

KRShNa. In the case of the latter, Guru (BRhaspati) and vAyu

established GuruvAyUr KRShNa (as the local legend says) and in

the case of the former, it is vAyu who became a Guru (i.e.

ShrImad Ananda TIrtha) and established UDupi KRShNa (also as

per local legend). In addition, both were BAlakRShNas. It was

an important discovery which caused many an academic to view

in askance the local legends. Pt. Bannanje has never believed

in the Malpe miracle theory of ShrImadAcArya obtaining KRShna

from a boat. Neither does the Sumadhvavijaya make mention of

it. Prof. Bhatt's discovery only reinforced these.

 

As you have rightly pointed out that we must never forget the

MalabAr/TauLava origins of shRImadAcArya, but it is also equally

important to bear in mind that it is the illustrious pontiffs

and paNDits of the Deccan hinterland " Deshastha " MAdhva MaThas

who have been the real vanguards and defenders of the faith

over the centuries. Other than HH Vijayadhvaja and VAdirAja

TIrthas, there are none amongst the TauLavas who came even

close to the hinterland scholars in terms to calibre and

quality of erudition. It is they who periodically and

systematically measured their intellectual swords with their

Advaitic counterparts to produce metaphysical masterpieces of a

superb quality. If it were not for them, (other than the

Grace of God factor), our beloved Dvaita for all purposes

would have probably remained a MalabAr metaphysic.

 

regards,

Hari-vAyu smaraNa

B.N.Hebbar

RE: Some observations

 

 

Dear Fellow Madhvas and Keshava Rao,

It was my intention to cool down and

not

further flames ... and I do hold Mr Keshava Tadipatri in high regard. He

wrote:

> " Keshava Tadipatri " <meerakesav

It was not just me who felt this way. There was another posting - i have

forgotten the author's name - which used these very words " hatred " .

According

to Mr. Nataraj's orignal posting ( and i quoting from memory here) he asked

 

his sister to " throw away " Vivekanda's photo which to me seems like a

visceral

response.

The intolerance shows up in vehemence and the stridency of statements by

True this is vishwa Madhva sangha but it must be borne in mind to the

other

religionists we are all hindu (devil worshippers to paraphrase the

s.baptists)

and therefore target of conversion...etc. It is to state the obvious that

we

are (in the US) living in alien culture. Our children are accosted by

others

(see an earlier posting by Balaji Hebbar) and they have to defend

themselves.

This and other such considerations should make us pause and use temperate

and dispassionate language when addressing philosophical issues. Whatever

happened to " ekam SAt ... " etc ? PLease do not construe this to mean that

I am condoning anything and everything but just emphasize the " ultimate

truth "

is not easily graspable - really one cant do better than the orginal and

repeat " Truth is one though the wise call it by different names " .

 

Also to say that one has arrived at " the truth " immediately brings to an

end - jijnyasa surely ?

 

Since this issue, I have seen at least four persons wanting out of this

list.

That is no coincidence and the interests of madhva community are not best

served by people leaving. Again I hasten to add that this is not to be

construed to mean that we should water down the philosophical principles to

 

not offend others. My own solution is to state our doctrine in as

unambigiuous

a fashion as possible and leave it at that. Again issues of faith and

philosophy as far as possible may be kept separate. Thus is indeed posiible

and earlier postings about sAkshi,Jijnyasa ... etc are proof of this.

 

with best regards to one and all,

Shri Kanekal
