SUMMARY: There are three types or categories of deeds that human beings do namely Daihika (Physical), Daishika (related to country or society or societal) and Kalika or time-related. Do only those deeds from among these categories that are ‘good’ or sane and acceptable, without any expectations or anticipation; think of the consort of Bharati Devi, Sri Mukhyaprana in his Bruhatee form in your mind and submit all your daily actions to the Lord Sri Hari.

 

The time-related actions needs a little explanation. It refers to the four important phases of human life namely boyhood or infancy, youth, adulthood and old age. Our actions should not overlap, deviate or untimely. Whatever one acts during boyhood cannot be carried forward into youth-hood and similarly into other phases of life. There are certain fixed duties and responsibilities attached to each phase and they need to be honored, followed and practiced.

Whatever we do during daytime cannot be and should not be done during night and vice versa. There are proper times for every action. We should compulsorily know what should be done when and in what manner and where. Otherwise, things go astray and results would be pathetic. The fate of results may not be known immediately but it will be definitely known in the longer run.

 

The Gita states:

 

KarmaNyEvADhikArastE mA PhalEShu kadAchana|

MA karmaPhalahEturBhUrmA tE sangO(s)stwakarmaNi||Gita 2/47||

कर्मण्यॆवाधिकारस्तॆ मा फलॆषु कदाचन।

मा कर्मफलहॆतुर्भुर्मा तॆ सन्गॊsस्त्वकर्मणि॥गीता २/४७॥

Again:

Niyatam kuru karma twam karma jyAyOhyakarmaNaha|

ShareerayAtrA(s)pi cha tE na prasidDhyEdakarmaNaha||Gita 3/8||

नियतं कुरु कर्म त्वं कर्म ज्यायॊह्यकर्मणः।

शरीरयात्राsपि च तॆ न प्रसिद्ध्यॆदकर्मणः॥गीता ३/८॥

 

Similar work culture has been described in Dwadasha Stotra, Vishnurahasy, Prataha Sankalpa Gadya and so on.

            SUrimAna dAnavaroLu vi-

            kArashUnyanu mADi mAdisi

            sAraBhOktanu sweekarisi koDutippa jeevarige||5||

SUMMARY: In these three categories of deeds, Sri Hari is the motivator and proponent in the forms of Sri Krishna, Sri Parashurama and Hayavadana; Sri Hari prompts our actions by being different in different people namely Rajas, Tamas and Satvik. He remains ‘untouched’ and ‘unaffected’ by their actions, does their deeds and gets the deeds done by them, remains the recipient of the end-results and presents them to the respective souls.

In each category of deeds namely physical, societal and time-related, Sri Hari is present in the forms of Sri Krishna, Sri Parashurama and Sri Hayavadana among Rajas, Tamas and Satvik souls. It  must be noted that in every human being there are Rajas, Tamas and Satvik qualities or characters and therefore, the forms of Sri Hari will be nine in each being.

 

However, despite being the sole motivator, Sri Hari is unaffected and untouched by those actions or emotions or feelings. All the actions are directed and monitored through Lord Vayu, who monitors the mind.

SUMMARY: Innumerable demi-gods like Brahma, GaruDa, ShESha, Indra and others see that Lord incessantly, along with their consorts, enjoy the complete comfort they derive from continuous meditation of the Lord and savior the nectar of joy they get out of that meditation.

अरुणप्रभाश्च तरुणाभ्ररुचॊ विचरन्ति नाथरुचयः पुरुषाः॥२१॥

SUMMARY: Persons who have recently attined the salvation in their near-original form, adorned with four shoulders, lotus-like eyes, fascinating dresses, wearing silk loin clothes (Peetambara) and spasrkling like the just-rising Sun are roaming there like a cluster of white clouds.

This stanza describes the persons who have attained salvation and have gone to the heaven in their near-original, human form, which the Shrutis cite as “Paramam Samyamupaiti”. There is a slight resemblance between this form in heaven and the form on earth. It cannot however be totally reminiscent.

Bhagavata states:

ShyAmAvadAtAha shatapatralOchanAha pishangavastrAha suruchaha supEshasaha|

अपि तस्य लॊकमतिलॊकगुणं भजतां सुदुर्लभमभूरिशुभैः॥२२॥

SUMMARY: It is not to say that the joy of those very close to the Lord is incomparable; but, compared to those possessing qualities that are uncommon to other worlds, those who have not earned that complete positive energy “Punya”, the joy earned by those earning an entry into Vaikuntha is certainly beyond comparison.

The joy of those attaining SAlOkya, SArUpya, SAmeepya and SAyujya (same Loka or world, same form, closest to the Lord and heavenly abode) is proportionate to their individual capacity or eligibility. It varies from one world to another.

A related assertion about the fact that there are different persons attaining different types of salvation is explained in Bhagavata:

SUMMARY: Sri Hari is the intrinsic addressee of all the fifty alphabets, vowels, short and long sounds, conjunctions, punctuation marks etc., and is present in the forms represented or addressed by all words and sentences. But, only deities know the forms and names of these words, letters etc., and they worship Lord Hari with that proficient knowledge. Therefore, whatever they state or speak indicate the meanings of Vedas.

Aitareyopanishat states:

SarvE VEdAha sarvE GhOShAha vyAhrutihi|

सर्वॆ वॆदाः सर्वॆ घॊषः व्याहृतिः।

In Vayupurana, Shandilyatattwa, it is elaborated:

SarvE VEdAha saGhOShAshcha sarvE varNAha swarA api|

SamAtrAha savisargAshcha sAnuswArapadAstaThA||

GunasAndrE taThA ViShNau mahAtAtparyagOcharAha|| 16/39||

Sri Madhwacharyaru has provided special meanings of long and short vowel sounds in his Rugbhashya, Aitareyabhashya and other works.

            mEshanihanendaritu avaraBhi-

            lAShegaLa pUraisuvade mahayajna HaripUje||2||

SUMMARY: The most precious sacrifice to Lord is meeting the self-desires or wishes with the clear, proper and perfect knowledge of Lord Sri Hari, devotion for his servants with proper discriminatory knowledge, disinterest in worldly pleasures, aversion or hatred towards atheists and pagans and firm belief that Lord Sri Hari, the consort of Lakshmi, is present in all beings and that is the perfect worship of the Lord.

Sri Madhwacharyaru has emphasized this perception in his Gitatatparya. In Bhagavata we come across the following:

SUMMARY: Sri Hari is present in Earth, Water and Fire, ten organs and their respective favoring deities like Prana (Vayu) and will be visible to those deities. Being the eternal powerhouse of super most qualities, he is the recipient of all subjects for which he wears the form of Sankarushana.

SUMMARY: The main castle that glows in the midst of a cluster of radiant, palacial buildings belongs to Lord Sri Hari. It puts aside everything that is considered outstanding, miraculous and spectacular. It shines like the radiation tha sruounds the Moon amidst the clusters of stars.

It is quite common that Full Moon overshines all other Stars and he lights up a vast area. The royal palace of Lord Sri Hari shines brither than all other palacial buildings that are seen in Vaikuntha.

The word “Dwija” in the compound expression “DwijamanDalasThashashimanDalavat” refers to Stars because in Sri Bhagavata too Dwija has been employed to mean star. In Gita, Lord Krishna says: “nakShatrANAmaham Shashi” even though Moon is not considered to be a star in the common parlour. He is referred to as a star because he shines amidst several stars around him.

There is no Lord equal to Sri Hari and no castle that can match the castle of Sri Hari. “VenkaTAdrisamam sThAnam brahmAnDE nAsti kinchana|VEnkaTEshasamO dEvO na BhUtO na BhaviShyati||{वॆन्कटाद्रिसमं स्थानं ब्रह्मान्डॆ नास्ति किन्चन।वॆन्कटसमॊ दॆवॊ न भूतॊ न भविष्यति।

SUMMARY: In that sublime bastion of Lord, Sri Ramadevi, who is being attended, served and worshipped by thousands of female attenders, does all the domestic work personally and is worshipping her consort Sri Hari; who can describe the charm of that scene?

Being the wife of the Lord of the Universe and being the Goddess of words and wealth, Sri Ramadevi does not abstain from performing the domestic duties. Her activities and reverence to Lord is symbolic of the duties of a wife towards her husband. In Bhagavata it is mentioned:

SUMMARY: Unparalleled Kamalapati Sri Hari, even though he is self-pleasurable, rests on the soft body of ever-free Shesha in that Mandir and plays passionately with blemishless, charming and lotus-eyed Mahalakshmi.

Sri Hari is self-pleasurable. He does not need someone to please him. He loves Ramadevi to please her. He is ‘Swarata”.

SUMMARY: Always remember Pundareekaaksha Lord Sri Hari, who is wearing a glittering, silk loin cloth (Peetambara) the brightness of which is equal to the sparkle that may be seen at the time of rising of thousands of Suns; who is wearing jewels of nine diamonds and pearls and whose smiling face is like the full moon.

This expression is like reiteration of a stanza in Bhagavata:

SUMMARY: Neither Mahalakshmi, nor the clever and eloquent four-faced Brahma nor can we, of thousand faces, count the number of all the qualities of Sri Hari. Yet, we can beautifully describe those qualities better than the description already provided by others.

Since the qualities and attributes of Lord Hari are infinite, it is not possible for any one at any point of time describe them, comprehensively.

Although ‘Vayam’ means ‘we’, in this context, it should be perceived as synonymous of Lord Shesha, who has thousand hoods.

Bhagavata describes:
