Guest guest Posted March 7, 2000 Report Share Posted March 7, 2000 Hamsa Om So'ham Dear Yasomatinandana, Good thinking, now try to answer as to why these Pancha Mahapurusha Yoga are defunct or meaningless without the strength of the Sun (Rama) or Moon (Krishna) and by the time you finish answering this you will realise the full importance of the Mahamantra. May Jagannath guide your wisdom, Sanjay - YND <vedant <varahamihira > Monday, March 06, 2000 8:18 PM [Jagannath] Back to Panca-bhuta Dear Gurudev, My respectful obeisances. Jaya Jagannath! Some mothes ago we had a discussion on Pancha-mahabhutas, sankhya and related things. One of the questions you put to the class was why Sun and Moon are not specifically ascribed by the authorities to any of the bhutas and thus do not participate in the Mahapurusa-yogas. As far as I can remember the question remained unanswered by anybody. Nor did you give us the answer. I got some thoughs on this in the light of Sankhya. The general points must be valid but maybe the they just have no direct connection with the subject. Anyway, I will present them and you can please correct them. Sun represents Sambhu, the original male material principle, and Moon - the maya Prakriti, the original female material principle. This process of primary creation is very nicely and technically explained in Brahma Samhita and the commentaries by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura. So Sambhu and Maya are like the original shades of Maha-Vishu and Cit-sakti (Laxmi) in the process of the material creation. Sambhu is almost Vishnu-tattva - he is described as a part of the total halo of Lord Visnu. So, to the mahapurusha-yogas, Sambhu and Maya got manifested at the stage just prior to creation of Mahat-tattva. So at that point there were simply no Mahatbhutas which developed at the latter stages of creation. They are like the original (material) father and mother of all that be here - including the mahad-bhutas. your shishya, Yasomatinandana das ------ HARE RAMA KRISHNA ------ Planning a party? iParty.com is your complete source for party planning and supplies, with everything you need to throw the perfect party! http://click./1/1635/3/_/2192/_/952359983/ -- Create a poll/survey for your group! -- /vote?listname=varahamihira & m=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
