Guest guest Posted October 2, 2002 Report Share Posted October 2, 2002 bhUta bhrut (star-Ashwini) bhUtAni bibharti iti = The one who bears/sustains all the bhUtams. pASuram - Tiruccanda viruttam - 8 (TirumazhiSai AlwAr TiruvaDigaLE SaraNam) samanvayam with pASuram : Maintaining this body is a highly difficult task compared to creating it. All the bodily needs must be continuously fulfilled again and again, without a break. You have given me this body and are maintaining it continuosly. You keep maintaining all the universes like this without a break and you endure enormous strain in the process. There is no one in all these universes (however powerful he might be) who is atleast competent enough to measure the magnitude of this huge task which you are carrying out. Whom else other than you can I call by the name bhUta bhrut, O my Lord!!! pASuram : AdiyAna vAna varkum - To the first person, Brahma anDamAya appurattu - To the world of paramapadam AdiyAna vAnavarkum - To the paramount nityAs AdiyAna Adi nI - You the foremost supreme controller. AdiyAna vAnavANar andakAla nI uraitti - You can tell the ending time of the foremost like Brahma AdiyAna kAla ninnai | yAvar kAna vallarE Who can tell about you, who are the supreme controller (the kAlam/time) Detailed explanation : 1) To the foremost like Brahma : For maintaining my body for 100 years, so many basic necessities have to be fulfilled continuosly. It takes a lot to maintain this body over its full life span. Then, what to say about the huge life span of the creator, Lord Brahma. You are fulfilling all the necessities of Sri Brahma and are sustaining him, the creator. In this way you are taking care of all these universes. Definitely, only you can be called as bhUta bhrut. 2) To the world of paramapadam and to the paramount nityAs : Coming to the paramapadam, you are the prime source for it and the nityAs present there. You are simultaneously sustaining the entire nitya vibhUti too. If sustaining Lord Brahma is itself out of the reach of our imagination, what can we say about the nityAs and paramapadam. They have the divya SarIrams given by you and which are totally bhOgyam to you. Each of them totally depend on you and long for your service continuously. You keep giving each one of them, a complete (100 percent) Anandam of total association with you and your service continuously. One remembers the rAsa krIda episode of Lord Sri Krishna, which extrapolates to the situation in paramapadam and gives us some clue about that nitya vibhUti. Each gOpi was extremely intent on a total communion with the Lord and the Lord was with each one of them in all His completeness. He was one hundred percent in all the forms He took and gave total Anandam to all the gOpIs simultaneously. Such an astonishing Lord, such an act is possible only for you. You keep giving the Anandam perennially to all the nityAs and muktAs. Thus you sustain the paramapadam. 3) You are the foremost supreme controller : You are the only one in all these universes, who is capable of and is fulfilling the needs of all beings and sustaining them simultaneously and continuously. Thus, only you are the supreme controller of all. You thus make everybody accept your supremacy. 4) You can tell the ending time of the foremost like Brahma : This clearly tells that, only you are the 'bhUta bhrut'. For you are the beginningless and endless. There is an end to even the foremost like Brahma and the other deities. So, even if for a second, one thought that one of them might be the bhUta bhrut, they are proven wrong. For maintaining all these beings continuously, the one who does that job should be existing always. 5) Who can tell about you, who are the supreme controller (who are above all) : How can anyone of us who stays in a SarIram, only for a limited time, tell about you, the ever existing one?. You are not reachable by thought, speech and vision. But, you make yourself easily available to us, seeing that we cannot know you with our efforts. Still, Unfortunately, most of us do not even make an effort to realize this immense love that you have for us. Many a times, we equate you to a normal human being, one amongst us. We hate you, show disrespect to you. But, you never bother about all these. You keep maintaining all of us and all these universes, enduring a lot of pain in the process. If one amongst us recognizes you and lovingly calls you, you forget all the pain in a split of a second and lovingly reciprocate. What mad love this is?. Certainly my Lord, you are the one and only bhUta bhrut. Jai Sriman Narayana New DSL Internet Access from SBC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
