Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 PRIYA BHAGAVAT BADNDUVAULLARA! VOICE OF THE RISHIS: 100 COURTESY SHRI RAPARLA JANARADHANA RAO " SWADESO BHUVANATRAYAM " -ADI SANKARACHARYA Adi Sankaracharya was one of three Acharyas, " Trimatacharays " that established three schools of thought interpreting man's relation with God. Adi Sankaracharya enunciated Adwaita philosophy (man and God are one only). Srimad Ramanujacharya established Vishista Adwaita Philosophy ( man and God are one but the union stands unique) and Sri Madhva Charaya founded the Dwaita school of philosophy, indicating man and God are two distinct entities and can never be one. The great Sankaracharya in his charters tic style of Advita equating man to that of God. " I am the God " Aham Brahmasmi " " Thou are that " Tatva Masi " , is said to have uttered these words of the present text. " Swadesa bhuvana trayam " in moments of great holiest ecstatic state meaning " All the three worlds are my own. The three lokas or worlds (Bhuvana Trayam) signify Bhoor,bhuva, Ssuvar Lokas. Sankaracharya as a boy approached a master with a request to teach him and the teacher asked the boy who he was. Sankaracharya with his nucleic thought of oneness with God even at that tender age replied " Na Bhoomi, Na Toyam, Na Tejo, Na Vaayuh, meaning " I am not the earth, not the water, not the light, not the air " Sankaracharya meant that he was above all possessions of man equating himself to God. This forms part of a Dasa Sloki, the ten slokas. These were very much praised by Master Sudhama Saraswathi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
