[Guest guest]

Dennisji !

 

Wow! What a way to go!

 

You already have a great start with our beloved Sri Sri Ramachandranji

penning a few lines on 'vyavaharika and paramarthika' . Then my long

time supporter and friend from Florida , e-go dustji ( Frank ji)

adding his wonderful perspective on this subject . Our youngest and

endearing team player , Sampath , the lion cub, has also contributed a

divine post on this topic . So , in course of time, Beloveds

Rishiji , Shyamji , and others old and new advaitins in the list will

volunteer to add their views on these on going definitions ! Thank you

Frankji and Sampathgaru for your wonderful contributions . Thank you

Ramji for 'leading ' the discussion.

 

i also want to thank Sri Bhaskaran 42 for peening few lines

on 'Turiya' - another topic in the weekly definitions. That was indeed

very sweet of Baskaran to jump in and help out . Others can follow Sri

Baskaran's example by adding their views and perspectives .

 

Women and advaita - a fascinating topic but also a

potentially 'explosive' subject like varnashrama dharma - so as owner

moderator Ramji has kindly requested let us now put an end to the

discussion. Ramji is absolutely right ! Hindu Religion has given

prominence to Shakti Worship ( Goddesses) along with the worship of

gods . Sri V. R. Ramachandra Dikshitar (1896-1953), " Shaktism is

dynamic Hinduism. The excellence of Shaktism lies in its affirmation

of Shakti as Consciousness and of the identity of Shakti and Brahman.

In short, Brahman is static Shakti and Shakti is dynamic Brahman. " And

in the Kena Upanishad also , it was Goddess Uma who showed ' Brahman'

( THE SPIRIT) to Indra , Vayu , Agni etc ! Tantric Advaita also is

also all about MAA KUNDALINI WORSHIP !

 

Thank you dear all ! Navaratri is around the corner - A good time of

the year to devote time to Devi Upasana and ask for forgiveness! She

is kshama dhatri and moksha datri ! She also grants us the 'viveka' to

differentiate between the 'real' and the 'unreal' !

 

Love and regards
