Namaste,I have a question regarding the 19th question in the quiz: 19. Shri PrahlAda moved up from kaksha (position) 19 to kaksha 15 in this brahma kalpa due to avEsha of Shri vAyu devaru and upadEsha from Shri Narada muni

How is it possible to alter the kaksha? Doesn't it amount to changing the jIva svarUpa?When did this promotion occur? Is it that shaMkukarNa who was in the 19th kaksha move to the 15th after his incarnation as prahlAda?

Regards,Dilip

Namaskara Dilip,

 

Here is an answer (kannada audio in MP3 format) from Shri. Hayavadana Puranik, reputed scholar and associated with PPMP.

Thanks to Shri. Shri Harsha Acharya from Palimar Patha had already posted this sometime back. That should clear your doubts.

 

Not only that, it was also mentioned by some scholars, that all Jeevas below kaksha 15 and below must do Bimbopasana of Prahalaada only, and through him of the antaryami Lord. We are not qualified to do Bimbopasane of the Lord directly. However, this is a debated issue, and needs further discussion.

 

Regards

Shree harayE NamaH,

Namaskara ..

 

Shri vAyu devara avEsha and Shri Narada munigala upadEsha made Shri

PrahlAda to move up to kaksha 15. Please note that the by swarUpa,

Shri prahlAda is always at kaksha 19. Due to Shri vAyu devara avEsha,

Shri prahlAda is able to perform kriyas that jeevas in kaksha 15 can

accomplish. This promotion to kaksha is only in this Brahma kalpa and

in mOksha, Shri prahlAda will always be at kaksha 19.

 

One more example is Shri Jambavathi dEvi havin the Shri mahA lakshmi

avEsha. As long as Shri jAmbavathi dEvi (in kaksha 6) has Shri ramA

aVesha, Shri Jambavathi devi is moved to kaksha 5 equal to Shri

Garuda, sheSha and Rudra devaru. Once the avEsha is gone, Shri

jAmbavathi is moved back to kaksha 6. Movin up to kaksha 6 does not

mean that the swarUpa of this jeeva Shri Jambavathi is altered. With

Shri mahA lakshmi avEsha, jambavathi can carry out all activities

devathas in kaksha 6 can perform. Shri jambavathi is Shri Tulasi devi

and due to Shri maha Lakshmi avEsha, Shri Tulasi is extremely dear to

our Lord hri hari.

 

Best Regards,

Bala Krishna
