While this is true in general, exceptions present themselves almost immediately. 1) Sage Sowbari married the 50 daughters of a king. He took 50 different bodies and lived in 50 separate houses with them and enjoyed all the pleasures. He was a single jivatma. He was able to bear all the bodies because of his knowledge and power. 2) Great sages can know what others think. In fact they know things that happened, those that are happening and those that will happen in the future. So also they know what others think. Of course, all this is in relation only to those jivas living in this world. All Muktatmas and nityatmas can take several bodies at the same time. Also they are all sarvajgnas. They know what is in the minds of others. I don't see why this should contradict vishistadvaita. There would be a contradiction only if every jivatma knows the mind of every other jivatma. In that case it would suffice it there existed only one jivatma. Ramanujadasan S.Vishnuchithan.

Can jivatma occupy several bodies at the same time?My reply to him was clearly not, because only Brahman can have thepower to occupy many bodies at the same time. Otherwise, it wouldcontradict Visitadvaita vedanta. Am I correct? I would appreciate ifyou or other scholars in this field can answer this question.2. Can a jivatma have access to other jivatma's mind?That is, can one jivatma know what the other jivatma is thinking?My reply is no. If it were so, the plurality of jivatmas will lose allindviduality and end up as one atman, which will again contradictVisitadvaia vedanta. Am I correct in this reponse? Again, I wouldlike to have scholarly opinion on this subject.-----adiyEnrAmasAmy rAmAnuja dAsan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
