SUMMARY: Other cults prophessing vacuum cannot be the cause of Universe. Since it is untrue, there should be some reason, after all. Like the proposition or inference of Kumbhakara or the potter, the contention of blankness is non-tenable.

Here is the rejection of the philosophy that preaches ‘blankness’ or Shunyavada. Asat or non-existant cannot be accepted because it cannot prove anything as the cause or consequence of for the existence of the Universe.

SUMMARY: Oh ascetic! If you were to tell that ‘we are not saying that the cause of universe is like the potter but that whatever the Universe we see with the lack of knowledge of blankness is in fact the cause’, then you cannot contend that blankness is the cause.’ Oh Ayushmant! try to understand more clearly what you have learnt in Gurukula that blankness is just a spot, a place or a platform.

Some Buddhist thinkers contend that the concept or the principle of Blankness or emptiness is not to say that blankness is the cause of universe but due to the lack of that knowledge, the universe is seen. However, Shoonya or the blankness is not the whole; it is just a spot or a tiny spot in the ‘whole’ and hence it cannot be attributed to be the reason for the universe. There is a huge difference between blankness and the whole and both these concepts need separate defition. They can never be synonymous.

SRI RAGHAVENDRA SWAMY’S SRI RAMACHARITRYA MANJARI

 SRI RAGHAVENDRA SWAMY’S SRI RAMACHARITRYA MANJARI

(An intriguing question about Seetha Swayamvara has been clarified in this episode. The interpretation and exploration of the second stanza in this great work of Sri Raghavendra Swami will begin from next episode. Please read, comment and share. SDN)

A question may arise over the marriage of Seetha Devi with Rama, if they are both considered as incarnation of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi. It is acceptable to arrange Swayamvara for an unmarried girl. But, is it acceptable to arrange Swayamvara for a married woman as Seetha is believed to be an incarnation of goddess Lakshmi? Does organising Swayamvara for a married woman not mean that her hitherto-husband is unworthy? Does not marrying her with another person amount to providing her with a platform for prostitution?

Sri Mahabharata Tatparya Nirnaya by Sri Madhwacharya provides clarification to such unceremonious queries.

King Janaka was aware that Seetha was an incarnation of Lakshmi and she was the consort of Sri Narayana. He had also decided to marry Seetha to Sri Rama, who was an incarnation of Lord Narayana or Lord Vishnu. But, several unworthy and insane persons had an eye on Seetha Devi. Therefore, there was an urgent need to immediately deplore and insult those unworthy persons on the one hand and on the other, there was a need to re-establish the supremacy and omnipotence of Lord Hari. That is why King Janaka organised the Swayamvara and put forth such a test to all the aspirants that they could not dream of passing that test. Everything spanned out as per the plan. The Seetha Swayamvara was not organised with an ulterior intent of marrying her off with any other person.

The case of Swayamvara organised for Rukmini was entirely different from Seetha Swayamvara. Rukmini Swayamvara was organised by her brother Rukmi, much against the desire of her father Bheeshmaka and others. King Bheeshmaka, who was a devotee of Lord Krishna, and a few others, were unwilling to organise Rukumini Swayamvara. However, they committed the sin of not preventing Rukmi from organising the Swayamvara and therefore they deserved punishment. Sri Krishna goes to Kundineepur, where King Bheeshmaka was the ruler, makes King Bheeshmaka promise to marry off Rukmini to Krishna and returned to his abode.

All these explanations and stories or instances are hidden but clearly indicated in the first stanza of Sri Ramacharitrya Manjari, says Sri Lakshminarayanacharyaru in his commentary. Sri Lakshminarayanacharyaru uses “ityAdi kaThA” in his treatise, where the word “ItyAdi” refers to all the stories and perceptions that have been discussed here.

Sri Vadirajaru is appealing to Goddess Ganga to impart knowledge into her devotees and provide them with salvation. He says, “Oh Mother Ganga, has your ability to provide Moksha or salvation vanished after touching the skeleton of the sons of Emperor?” Does it mean that your caliber to give salvation disappeared after bestowing Moksha upon the sons of Sagara? It is very much within you. Is Vaikuntha not spacious enough? Or else is there no opportunity for me alone? Or is the way to Vaikuntha filled with obstacles that are beyond your power to clear? Or am I not born in a spirituous family? These are the four reasons for not being able to attain salvation or fulfill my earthly desires. Therefore dear mother, you must bestow upon me the heavens or Vaikuntha.

SUMMARY: All the deities from Garuda, ShESha and so on, up to Pushkara, reach the serene, sacred and sublime abode of Lord Sri Hari, who, in the form of mysterious Lord Vasudeva, shines in Lord Vayu by name Udana and Bharati Devi, who are in the Urdhwa Loka or the upper most space, and experience eternal happiness.

Bharati Devi and Lord Vayu, who is also known as Udana, are residing in their own world called Oordhwa Loaka. Garuda is the Golden Eagle, the vehicle of Lord Vishnu. Shesha is the Adi Shesha, the serpent king on whom Lord Vishnu always rests, along with his wife Goddess Lakshmi Devi.

The word “mangaLavayavagaLa” means organs that give happiness and joy. It also refers to the Aprakruta Deha or a body that is out of nature or beyond nature. Anu Vykhyana describes this body of Lord Vishnu as “NikhilapoorNaguNaikadEham” (1/1/1)

SUMMARY: Thus, Lord Lakshmiramana, i.e. Lord Vishnu, who is the Kamsari or the killer of Kamsa or the enemy of Kamsa, by being present within Goddess Bharati Devi and Lord Mukhyaprana or Lord Vayu, remains in five different forms at five corresponding doors, and ferries those five dieties who are eligible for Mukti or salvation, and are aware of the differences among the gods, goddesses, deities and among the various worlds, across the ocean of life.

There are five types of Mukti Yogyas or eligible for salvation. Vayupurana, ChandOgya BhAShya describe these five Mukti Yogya deities and Lord Vishnu relieves them all from the cycles of birth and death.

SUMMARY 1: Later, Srirama, who was the mentor of Aja, broke the Bow of Lord Shiva effortlessly, nullified the pride of princes, who were possessing horrible armys, impressed Vishwamitra, the mentor of Brahmins, and made the devotees with his infinite radiation.

SUMMARY 2: Sri Krishna, the teacher of Aja, later (in Mathura), breached the Shiva’s Bow without any difficulty, destroyed the bravery of Kamsa, the son of Ugrasena and completed the studentship in the hermitage of Brahmin Guru Sandeepa Muni and made his devotees happy with his boundless power of radiation.
