Dear jyotisha,

Namaste. Jaya Jagannath!

 

Some extra statements on the Lesson 2. They are based on Parasara Muni

in

the light of Srila Prabhupada's teachings and I will present them for

the

benefit of the audience.

 

I will stick to Parasara's names of Catur-vyuha (quadruple form of the

Lord)

which are also used by Srila Prabhupada and are given in Srimad

Bhagavatam .

 

So Bhagavatam explains that Lord Vasudeva is the adhidevata of the

citta,

consciousness, Sankarasana is the adhidevata of ego, Anidruddha is the

adhidevata of the mind and Pradyumna is the adhidevata of the

intelligence.

All four of Them are transcendental. As soon as jiva realizes his

spiritual

nature, he gives up his material consciousness, ego, mind and

intelligence

and takes upon his original spiritual identity thus duly worshiping

Lord

Nararayana with all his being. Thus the Catur-vyuha form is also

reffered to

as the Aid-de-camps of Lord Narayana. They are His immediate

expansions.

 

So. spiritually, the Fiery signs reffer to Lord Vasudeva, Earthly - to

Lord

Sankarsana, Airy - to Lord Pradhyumna and Waterly - to Lord Aniruddha

- this

is on the level of Narayana. On the level of Nara they reffer to

consciousness, ego (body), intelligence and mind respectively. In the

perverted

materialistic stage of the living being, they reffer to materialistic

consciousness, bodily identification, materialistic intelligence and

material mind (the principles of dharma, artha, kama and moksa are

another

side of the same coin.) The perfection of this stage of Nara-Narayana

when a

jiva

attains his original spiritual consciousness, real ego of being part

and

parcel of Lord Narayan, intelligence of accepting everytning favorable

for

worship of Lord Narayan and rejecting everything unfavorable, and mind

absorbed in meditation on Lord Narayan.

 

Now another part is connected with figure 3. Whereas the perverted

material

reflection is known under the names of rajas, sattva and tamas, their

spiritual prototypes are the Bhu, Sri and Neela sakits respectively.

They

are completely spiritual energies of the Lord. They should never be

misunderstood as material. Parasara clearly says that Lord Sankarasna,

Pradyumna and Aniruddha associates with Neela, Bhu and Sri saktis

respectively. As the Former are above matter, so are the latter. The

material modes are simply their perverted reflections. Bhu, Neela, and

Sri

shaktis represent the active, fixed, and refined principles in the

activites

of the spiritual world Vaikuntha beyond the influence of material time

and

space.

 

Another dimension of the spiritual counterpart of the Bha-chakra is

it's

division into three parts. First part (Aries to Cancer) represent the

ontological (beyond time) beginning of the jiva's spiritual identity,

it's

basic relationships with Lord Narayan. In the process of beginning

stage of

sadhana of a soul striving for perfection they are manifest as active

and

keen mind and consciousness, worship of the Deity of Lord Narayan, and

intelligence searching after truth are it's characteristics. The

second part

(Leo to Scorpio) represent the activiites in jiva's original spiritual

identity. In the process of sadhana they are manifest as steadintess

in

one's spiritual consciousness and also devotion to Lord Narayan, very

active

and expasive spiritual intelligence and efforts to perfect one's

service for

the cause of the Lord. The third part (Saggitarious to Pisces)

represent the

ultimate perfection of one's relationships with Lord Narayan. For a

jiva it

is the sadhya which is characterized by refined spiritual

consciousness and

mind, active service to Lord Narayan on Vaikuntha and undeviated

intelligence...

 

.... time to go to bed.

 

kindest regards,
