Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Hari Om Namo Vishwarupya Namaste I posted this last week and wondered if anyone has insight into the mechanics of this, or if they heard Sanjayji dicuss...lots of open ends in my mind on this.... that is: Sanjay comments on atma separating from mana at some stage after death, then reunites once the birth process occurs for those that have not reached Kavalaya. What I do not understand, 1. If from your merit you earn time in Surya Loka, Indraloka, etc. What faculty of your being is experiencing these Lokas? If the atma, manas and indriayas are not in tact? 2. If you are a Sanyas or on the path of Moksa, would his practice not continued in these lokas and move one further to Brahma-bhuta and not have to come back to earth? 3. Last, what effects do the Graha's have in these lokas? I will assume karma is still in affect. I know its a bit asoteric, yet part of the continuium of our spiritual experience.

I prefer to think otherwise. I think the mind only forgets things while Atma being the silent spectator knows everything. Atma knows that we all are same, it's the mind that differentiate things. As you said in different worlds if we enjoy/suffer, mind should be active, as nothing affects Atma(Gita). Hence mind should be active in all levels in some way or other. And, some even say both are same. There are incidents where people could remember their previous births. And, Abhimanyu could learn things even before he born in this world. Writing to Sanjay Ji is the best thing to do. > What I do not understand, > 1.

Even Lord Vishnu or Lord Siva doesn't spare. The worlds you said are simply higher platterns where things are fine. The hells are also explained in Puranas, as you said, how could Atma suffer? > 2.

It is not that Grahas mould our life or take stock of our Karma. Karma manifests everywhere, everytime. Brahma does creation, Vishnu does protection... It's the essence of this world (some say it's time...) Time to time, even Devas had to undergo sufferings. Didnt Indra lost his position due to bad karma? > I know its a bit asoteric, yet part of the continuium of our > spiritual experience. > > Pranams > > Frank in San Diego Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 |Hare Rama Krsna| Dear Frank, Namaskar You have rightly pointed out that the Mana is replaced with a new Mana dependant on the power of our mantras from previous births. Otherwise what is the real use of a Mantra if it cannot change our mind? Now that faculty which makes us experience happiness and suffering is the mind, hence when we enter a loka to attain an experience, it is essentially the mana which is doing so in that particular loka. Hence one method of seeing the Loka after death is by analyzing the Chanda-Upapada as per Deva Keralam. Here the Moon is considered as Lagna, and the Upapada is calculated therefrom. The result will show where the mind goes – or what the mind is constantly giving its energy to. Where your mind goes in this birth, is also where it will go after death, hence the reasoning behind this principle. Hope this helps.
