Guest guest Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Dennisji : It is kind of strange that in a sense both You and Nirji are right on the meaning of bAdha. iF YOU GO TO THE FOLLOWING WEB SITE : bAdha is translated as 'Sublation'Cancellation' or 'Contradiction ' in Advaita Vedanta http://www.hinduwebsite.com/hinduism but here the author writes 'badha' at another website , Bs synonymous with sublation or subration " Each of the following Advaitic notions has a close correlate in Krishnamurti's teaching: non-dual Brahman (absolute or ground of existence), maya (illusion), upadhi (limitation), adhyasa (superimposition), karma (causation or bondage), avidya (ignorance), badha (sublation or subration), the via negativa (negative method), moksa (freedom), the mahavakya (great saying, expression of the truth), nirvikalpa-samadhi (non-dual Brahman-consciousness), and susupti (dreamless sleep as a state of awareness). " http://alangullette.com/essays/philo/k_av.htm - 28k - Cached but i guess it is all in the spelling and transliteration because as per the way in which Nairji spells the word " bhAdhA " suggests meanings like affliction, vexation, being affected, troubled, harassed etc. When we say trikAla-AbhAdita in vedanta, it only means " not afflicted by past, present and future " or " beyond the sway of time " or rather " timelessness! badha also means obstacle ! badha can also mean 'fall ' - in mahabharata , it is said , karna badha or fall of karna ! hope this discussion on 'badha' was 'bodha' ( enlightenment ) for you , dennisji !
