Only 5 persons – Lakshmi, Brahma, Vayu, NINE GEMS OF TATVAVADA Saraswathi and Bharathi are in shuddha bhagavatha dharma. These can be called by the word Para. Saraswathi and Bharathi The last and lasting message of Sri Sri Vidyamanya Tirtha swamiji can thus be called Para and their consorts Brahma and Vayu English translation : Sri N.A.P.S. Rao can be described as Parathara. Lakshmi would be Parathama. (Contd. from the previous issue) Thus Vayu is correctly described as Parathara as he is the “Harih paratharah” – Vayu jivotthamathva greatest soul. But another question can be raised, why has the word Hari been used instead of Vayu? This is justified The Jivotthamathva of Vayu is also an important tenet, as on the basis of Mathyaikya – or identical opinion or the sarvotthamathva of Hari. There is an opinion that this has not been stated in this shloka. But Sri Vyasaraya has stated conclusion. Vayu never thinks in a manner different from the this subject also here and thus has included all the important will of the Lord. We should understand that Sri Vyasaraya tenets. How is the statement of Harih paratharah interpreted has used the same word Hari to describe both God and Vayu to mean Vayu jivotthamah is like this: Harih means Vayu just to indicate this. To establish the Jivotthamathva of Vayu as it means Narayana. In Amara kosha, Hari is shown as a (superiority over Rudra and all other jivas) we will give the name for Vayu. Thus the words Harih paratharah mean that support of the pramana from the Vedas. There is a story Vayu jivotthamah also. But, Vayu can not be Para as he is narrated in the Veda. In the past both the gods and daithyas not always free from sorrow (only 2 persons are Paraa as joined together to churn the milky ocean. At first, a great explained earlier). But Vayu, though not free always from poison called Kaalakoota came up as a result of the churning, sorrow is not having the effect (peeda) of sorrow. To give which had the potential of destroying the entire world. There an example, small children cry when hungry, but as adults, was a boon given by Brahma that no one could even touch we say that hunger is a good thing as we enjoy our food when it. Vayu who is not affected by the boon given by Brahma hungry. But how can Vayu be denoted by the word Para (being of equal stature) collected the poison in a golden vessel as he is not free from sorrow always? How can he be called and then took it in his hands. He rubbed and kneaded the Parathara? Para also means Utthama (superior). Vayu is also poison repeatedly to remove its destructive potential. A small devoted to the Supreme Being, and meditates upon him, portion of the poison so rendered weaker was given by Vayu without a break, even for an instant. As stated – Shuddhe to Rudra to drink. Rudra found it very difficult to tolerate bhagavathe dharme niratho yadvrikodarah” – he is always the pain due to the poison. His neck became blue and he devoted to God. Such a person who is in Shuddha bhagavatha became known as Neelakantha. When a small quantity of the dharma is Para. Here it does not mean "eternally free from poison went down he lost consciousness. He regained sorrow". Bharathi, the consort of Vayu, Saraswathi (consort consciousness after he was touched by Narayana by His hand. of Brahma) are all such persons. Rudra and other gods some 3 Vayu then drank the entire Kaalakoota poison and he did not times have hatred for God, and thus are not in such have any difficulty what so ever. There is a Rigveda manthra May.-June-2002 TATVAVADA 78 TATVAVADA May.-June-2002 in this regard : “VayurasmA upAmanthathpinashmismA Yativaani : kunannamA keshee vishasya pAthrena yadrudrenApEbathsaha” Message of Sri Vidyesha Tirtha . This manthra means - Keshee – Kaschaasau ishascha keshah – keshah asyaastheethi keshee – Keshee is a name for Vayu (Sri Vidyesha Tirtha Swamiji is the Ashrama Shishya and Vidya Shisya as he has Narayana who is of the essence of eternal bliss as his Lord always. He meditates always in his heart, the form of Paramapoojya Sri Vidyamanya Tirtha. He was adopted to succeed him of Narayana without a break. Kunannama is another name for in the Peetha of Bhandarakeri Satyatirtha Samsthana. Sri Vidyesha Tirtha Vayu as he destroys evil persons – kuthsithan adhah paathayathi. is highly learned, a good orator and a lucid writer on Madhva Siddhanta. The three words Vayu, Keshee and kunannama have been used The following is an excerpt from his book in Sanskrit on the importance to describe Vayu in this text.

  • Is the Gaudiya Vaishnava Sampradaya Connected to the Madhva Line?
    Is the Gaudiya Vaishnava sampradaya connected to the Madhva line? Is the Gaudiya Vaishnava sampradaya connected to the Madhva line? – Jagadananda Das – The relationship of the Madhva-sampradaya to the Gaudiya Vaishnavas is one that has been sensitive for more than 200 years. Not only did it rear its head in the time of Baladeva Vidyabhushan, when the legitimacy of the Gaudiyas was challenged in Jaipur, but repeatedly since then. Bhaktivinoda Thakur wrote in his 1892 work Mahaprabhura siksha that those who reject this connection are “the greatest enemies of Sri Krishna Chaitanya’s family of followers.” In subsequent years, nearly every scholar of Bengal Vaishnavism has cast his doubts on this connection including S. K. De, Surendranath Dasgupta, Sundarananda Vidyavinoda, Friedhelm Hardy and others. The degree to which these various authors reject this connection is different. According to Gaudiya tradition, Madhavendra Puri appeared in the 14th century. He was a guru of the Brahma or Madhva-sampradaya, one of the four (Brahma, Sri, Rudra and Sanaka) legitimate Vaishnava lineages of the Kali Yuga. Madhavendra’s disciple Isvara Puri took Sri Krishna Chaitanya as his disciple. The followers of Sri Chaitanya are thus members of the Madhva line. The authoritative sources for this identification with the Madhva lineage are principally four: Kavi Karnapura’s Gaura-ganoddesa-dipika (1576), the writings of Gopala Guru Goswami from around the same time, Baladeva’s Prameya-ratnavali from the late 18th century, and anothe late 18th century work, Narahari’s

  • What the Upanisads Teach
    What the Upanisads Teach by Suhotra Swami Part One The Muktikopanisad lists the names of 108 Upanisads (see Cd Adi 7. 108p). Of these, Srila Prabhupada states that 11 are considered to be the topmost: Isa, Kena, Katha, Prasna, Mundaka, Mandukya, Taittiriya, Aitareya, Chandogya, Brhadaranyaka and Svetasvatara . For the first 10 of these 11, Sankaracarya and Madhvacarya wrote commentaries. Besides these commentaries, in their bhasyas on Vedanta-sutra they have cited passages from Svetasvatara Upanisad , as well as Subala, Kausitaki and Mahanarayana Upanisads. Ramanujacarya commented on the important passages of 9 of the first 10 Upanisads. Because the first 10 received special attention from the 3 great bhasyakaras , they are called Dasopanisad . Along with the 11 listed as topmost by Srila Prabhupada, 3 which Sankara and Madhva quoted in their sutra-bhasyas -- Subala, Kausitaki and Mahanarayana Upanisads --are considered more important than the remaining 97 Upanisads. That is because these 14 Upanisads are directly referred to by Srila Vyasadeva himself in Vedanta-sutra . Thus the 14 Upanisads of Vedanta are: Isa, Kena, Katha, Prasna, Mundaka, Mandukya, Aitareya, Taittiriya, Brhadaranyaka, Chandogya, Svetasvatara, Kausitaki, Subala and Mahanarayana. These 14 belong to various portions of the 4 Vedas-- Rg, Yajus, Sama and Atharva. Of the 14, 8 ( Brhadaranyaka, Chandogya, Taittrirya, Mundaka, Katha, Aitareya, Prasna and Svetasvatara ) are employed by Vyasa in sutras that are considered especially important. In the Gaudiya Vaisnava sampradaya , Srila Baladeva Vidyabhusana shines as an acarya of vedanta-darsana. Other great Gaudiya acaryas were not met with the need to demonstrate the link between Mahaprabhu's siksa and the Upanisads and Vedanta-sutra.

SHIVANANDANAGAR—249 192 Distt. Tehri-Garhwal, Uttar Pradesh, Himalayas, India. PUBLISHERS’ NOTE This book offers, between the covers of one volume, the varied writings of H.H. Sri Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj on the subject of Satsanga or holy company and the related topic of Svadhyaya or daily study of sacred literature. The second part of the book throws more light on the subject. Therein Swami Chidanandaji Maharaj analyses in detail the subtle connection and the subtle distinction between the company of a holy man and the company of the Guru and points out clearly the circumstances under which Satsanga can prove most fruitful for the Sadhaka. It is a slightly abstract subject, but one which is vital for all spiritual seekers. It is our sincere hope that the pages that follow will open up a glorious new chapter in the lives of many.
