Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 ||om namo baghavate vasudevaya|| Dear Sanjay-ji, Thank you for writing this paper and letting us all read it and as always your writings have brought a fresh and spiritual prespective to the subject under discussion. I however, had a small doubt. You say that Shiva could not escape in any direction showing one cannot escape from one's drida karma. However, i'm confused as to why shiva would have any drida karma, i thought shiva is without any karma (as you say that Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma are unaffected by the kalachakra earlier in the paper). Is this because in the first case the reference to Shiva means our atma and the second case, points to lord himself? Thanks, - Jai > > Sanjay Rath <guruji wrote: > > > ~~ om sadâúiva gurave namah ~~ > Dear Jyotisa > I have uploaded my paper on Das Mahavidya > Foundation for the SJC 2006 conference for view by > all participants and members.
