ERROR

[Guest guest]

Dear bhaktas: adiyEn wishes to make a correction in the

profound error below: where I mistakenly typed " sesha "

instead of " seshi " - to describe paramAtmA. There is no

excuse for this, and I should have been more careful. My

sincere thanks to the individual who pointed this out to me!!

 

> It does appear that the samsAra-leelai occurring in our own

> baddha jeeva existence is just one of the possible " sports "

> enjoyed by our sesha, i.e. sriyahpati emberuman.

 

Sesha-seshi bhAva is one of the navavida sambandhams;

Sri. velukkudi krishnan swami has kindly explained to me

the entire nine, and I would like to share this information

with all of you. Thanks and regards - Srinath C.

====================================

Dear sri Srinath,

The nine types of relationship between Paramathma and Jeevatma

are as follows:

 

Each letter of tirumantram describes these relationships.

[praNavam] a + 4th case ending(lupta caturthi) + u + ma (please

read all these in sanskrit or tamil)

 

1. a - [pitA-putra] sambandham (father and son)

2. ava - rakshaNe - dhatu - [rakshya-rakshaka] sambandham

(protector and protected)

3. 4th case ending - [sesha-seshi] (absolute servant and master)

4. u - [bhartru-bhAryA] sambandham (husband and wife)

5. ma - [gnAtru-gneya] sambandham (one who knows- posseses

knowledge and the known )

6. namaha: [swa-swAmy] sambandham (property and the owner)

7. nAra - [sarIra-sarIri] (body and soul or atma)

8. ayana - [Adhara-Adheya] (supporter and supported or bearer

and the borne)

9. Aya - [bhoktru-bhogya] sambandham (enjoyer and the enjoyed)

 

These 9 can be remembered easily by the following sloka :

pitA ca rakshaka: sEshI bharta gneyo ramApati:

swamy Adhara: mamAtma ca bhoktA cAdyamanUdhita;

 

These are taken from the grantham " nava vida sambandham "

of pillai Lokacharya. You can share this with anyone who has

any doubt. Regards.
