Guest guest Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Dear Shastri-ji, Namaste, Wonderful work! I was particulary interested in the definition of Ishwara in adavita, and your explanation with references from panchadashi, shruti and BSB helped me much. Many thanks for that. Yours in Sri Ramakrishna, Br. Vinayaka advaitin , " S.N.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Shastriji - SashTanga PraNAms. It is very nice to hear from you again. Please do contribute to the advaitin list any time you can. Saw the website - It is wonderful. Would take some time to study and assimilate the contents. Your contribution for the study of advaita is memorable. Hari Om! Sadananda --- " S.N.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Namaste, Sastriji Thank you for drawing our attention to your latest additions to your valuable website on advaita. The latest addition, on Sanatsujatiyam, will be particularly very useful to youngsters and new entrants to advaita. Very often there is a question on the advaitin list as to how one should start on the advaitic ascent. Sanatsujatiyam is perhaps the right start -- even before the prakarana works of Shri Shankara. In fact we have been missing your posts for quite some time. I hope you will now resume your active participation on the list. PraNAms to all advaitins. profvk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jiva is Brahman with limiting adjuncts of mind and body, of finite knowledge. In the presence of these adjuncts due to nescience, the Self " experiences " (is replaced by) individuality, and distinguishes from the universe, thinks and acts. Ishvara is said to be Brahman with limiting adjuncts of infinite knowledge. Is this affirming Person aspect to Ishvara: with a Mind and a sense of Individuality, a thinking Being, who knows and controls all? Brahman seen with limiting adjuncts of Sun will not be attributed individuality in the human sense: no mind or sense of identity; quite jada/insentient. Yet Brahman is still the substratum non-dual Truth and the appearances are superimpositions, due to ignorance: therefore, we deify the Sun and say He shines, blesses, and so forth. But in maayaa's context, no business of thinking of the sun as alive; the limitations are different. Are we deifying the action-reaction universe and saying that He wills, He is everywhere, and so on? Or is the deification of Brahman as Ishvara justified in a sense parallel to why we consider ourselves as alive, individual, etc? Your quotations give the latter idea to our mind. However I have discussed this before and not come to such a picture. It is useful to make utmost effort to directly clarify these points. Thank you. thollmelukaalkizhu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
