SRI LALITHA SAHASRANAMAM - TAMIL BASHYAM | ADHYAY SARAM - JUN-29-2018 - DISCOURSE - 31

Om Namasivaya Nama:

Chapter 10 - Kshethra Kshetragna Roopam - Final
Naama Manthram:  341-372 (32 Manthraas)

Till Namavali 365 Vasinyaadhi Vagdevis explained Para Brahma Swaroopini Parasakthi of her Sthoola and Sookshma form. Hereafter, we are going to understand Her Para swaroopam. Para is Her third bodily form.

Paraa means Sound (Dwani/Sabdha/Aathma/Energy/Brahmam). Sabdha is also a subtle element of Akasa Thathwa. We are more exposed to Akasa Thathwa than other four elements viz: Prithvi/Earth, Jala/Water, Agni/Fire and Vaayu/Air. In spiritual world Aakasa means Atoms. We are made up of Atoms and all our limbs are composed of it. 

Brahman has many aspects out of which the main ones are Vyaktham (Unveiled) and Avyaktham (Veild). This unveiled Brahman is also known as Kaarana Bindhu (Primordial Reason/Moola Prakruthi). From the Kaarana Bindu, Kaarya Bindu, Naadham & Bheejam are derived. When this Naadam and Bheejam unite a new being (person) is created.  This Avyaktha Brahman is residing in the chamber of Mooladharam Chakram in the form of Sound. When the Kaarya Bindu (Karma Sareeram or Praarabdha Sareeram or Form), Naadham & Bheejam unite it to create an Avyaktha Brahman (Sound). That Sound takes the help of Air and spread across the body, though its primary position is at Mooladharam. In this situation, this Sabdha Brahman is known as Para Vaak, then it enters Mani Pooraka Chakram and climbed to Anahatha Chakram (Mind) and takes the name of Pasyanthi Vaak, then it develops the contact with Budhi (Brain for instruction) to known as Madhyamaa Vaak, again with the help of Vaayu it comes out through Visudhi Chakram known as Vaikharee Vaak. This Vaikharee Vaak is crystal clear for anyone to understand the meaning of said sound. (Clear words embedded with meaning).

So far we learned Vyaktha Brahman in Sthoola and Sookhma section. Now we have also learned how the Avyaktha Brahman getting converted into Vyaktha Brahman in the form of Sound. We all know that all things in and around us have a name and form. According to Saasthra, it says every being has 5 identities viz: Aasthi (Knowledge of Sef), Bhaathi (Understood base on the known), Premam (Love), Naamam (Name) & Roopam (Form).

Those who interact with divine mother Parasakthi in this manner on daily basis will eventually witness that She is occupying our Mind/Heart and enjoy playing with us.

Summary: Those who know more and more about their own bodies and the invisible innermost power which lead the body to achieve its goals/objectives (Moksha) will eventually attain Salvation.

SRI LALITHA SAHASRANAMAM - TAMIL BASHYAM | ADHYAY SARAM - JUN-22-2018 - DISCOURSE - 30

Om Namasivaya Nama:

Chapter 10 - Kshethra-Kshethragna Roopam continuation...
Naama Manthram : 341-372 (32 Manthraas)

Many devotees consider and worship Brahman as Parasakthi (Divine Mother), and She acts as a divine mother for every being on this earth. Though Brahman is 100% Maya itself, yet She takes initiatives due to her compassion towards children of Brahman (all existence is derived from the same Brahman, hence Her children) to reveal herself in human form which is more acceptable to them. One of the other reason for it is, humans respect either someone like them or equal to them or above, therefore God has to take human form to guide them. Believe me, in this universe, more people are unhappy and suffering than happy and enjoying the life, even after achieving so much on the technology and medical facilities front. The biggest reason for this is disbelief in God as well as themselves.  

There are two precious mothers for each and every person or being. One Divine Mother (Karana Mother) who gave birth to our life (Soul/Jeeva/Prana etc...) and the second Casual Mother (Karya Moher) who gave birth to this mortal body. Divine mother is a permanent and Casual mother is temporary.

She is very particular about all creations (Humans) must achieve the ultimate goal of "Self Realization" or "Salvation". For this purpose, She will give innumerable chances through various types of births. 

Brahman is realized through two mainstream approaches viz: Sabala Brahmam (Vachayartham - Sruti Roopan - Divine Instructions - Orders - Varied - Multiple meanings to whatever we hear) and Sabdha or Sudha Brahmam (Lakshyaartham - Goal - End of Ignorance - Salvation - Mukthi).

The seeker must realize that She is the conjunction of Saguna (Form) and Nirguna (Formless) Brahman. This realization has to be in the Chith (Consciousness) so that this realization will provide a Rasam (Taste) which can be relinquished every time. Those who achieved this state are her Parampara (Clan) viz: Brahma, Vishnu & Rudran.

SRI LALITHA SAHASRANAMAM - TAMIL BASHYAM | ADHYAY SARAM - JUN-15-2018 - DISCOURSE - 29

Om Namasivaya Nama:

Chapter 10 - Kshethra-Kshethragna Roopam
Naama Manthram : 341-372 (32 Manthraas)

Divine mother reveals to his children that your physical body itself a temple and the residing Chaithanyam (Consciousness) is none other than myself (Paramathma). We build the temple with bricks, cement and mud etc then an Idol/Murthy is installed and invoke the Universal Spirit (Brahman in Saguna Swaroopam) into it. Likewise, the human body is mainly created out of 5 Bhoothas (primary elements) and7 Dhathus (components) etc. and Praan / Jeeva Aathma / Kshethresan (Life Energy) is entered into this mortal body to get rid of specs dirt from past life. Thus indicating that You (Jeeva) itself Me (Brahman) therefore learning about your own self will lead to enlightenment.  Thathwam Asi and Asi Thathwan (You are That and That is nothing but You).

According to Thripura Sidhantham, this human body consists of 36 components viz: Para Siva, Para Sakthi, Sadha Siva, Easwara, Sudha Vidhya, Maya, Kala Kanjuka (Divine Particles), Avidhya, Raga, Kaala, Niyathi, Purusha, Chitham, Mana, Budhi, Ahamkaram, Sabdha, Sparsa, Roopa, Rasa, Gandha, Nethram, Karnam, Thwak (Skin), Jihwa (Tongue), Naasam (Nose), Aakasam (Atom), Vayu, Jalam, Agni, Prithvi, Vaak, Kharam, Paadham, Udharam, Lingam/Khethram (Genital Part). The fact is there is only one Owner to this 36 components property who is Parasakthi Herself. Thus, one should appreciate, nurture and take care of the body until Realization (Aathma Sakshathkaram). [Sareeram Adhyam Khalu Dharma Sadhanam - because we need this body for realization purpose].

Once a seeker realizes his/her own divinity, there won't be any loss to the body (Sthoola-Sookshma-Para). A person's body will decay or depreciate only to the one who is addicted or surrendered to 23 type of Vikaraas (Disorder/Transformation), whereas She is out of these and makes sure Her devotees to overcome such impediments.

Divine mother never ever failed in any task, the same way She ensures her devotees achieve the same entitlement during their mundane life. She guides her devotees to overcome Kaama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathsarya Doham (defects) and separate life energy (in pure form/trained and purified energy/soul) from the army of 36.

She also disagrees and disapproves the people of self-proclaimed Godman/Godwoman and also out rightly reject the wicked people who create their own rules and regulations (so-called Dharmas) and claims that it is said in the Vedas etc... She greatly respects and propagates "Sadhacharam" (Good manners, virtuous, good-conducts etc).

Devotees suffer and disturbed from 3 important heats (asceticism) that create confusion and restless to realize the truth such as Aadhyathmikam (Invisible/Subtle Knowledge of Parasakthi), Aadhi Bhouthikam (Open and Hiddle Activities) and Aadhi Dhaiveekam (Sathwik mentality to achieve the benefits of Sathwik benefits through good practice), To overcome this heat, She assumes the duty of a cool bright moon (Mind is the cool moon in our body). As we all know, the mind is everything and mind will decide whether we are free or captive! (Mana Eva Manushayaanam Karanam Bandha Mokshaya).

The Life Energy (Jeevathma) will never ever die, the death comes to our mortal body, not to the Aathma. The Aathma is Parasakthi herself (for those who realized) therefore She is known as ever living and ever youthful. It is said by well known realized devotees/saints (Mahathmaas),  and certified by Vasinyadhi Vaagdevis, not by ordinary people! Therefore, it carries truth and weight in it.

SRI LALITHA SAHASRANAMAM - TAMIL BASHYAM | ADHYAY SARAM - JUN-08-2018 - DISCOURSE - 28

Om Namasivaya Nama:

Chapter 9 - Pancha Brahma Swaroopam - Final
Naama Manthram: 249-340 (91 Naamaas)

Our divine mother took the initiative to rehabilitate/elevate us from ignorant being to true knowledgeable, for which She created Vedas as Her instruction manual. She used all her true devotees' mind (Maharshis) to narrate in different approaches. Every action has got its good or bad results, therefore She is guiding her devotees to do good and earn holy credits to enjoy better life either on earth or elsewhere.

Vedas are usually understood through Vedanthas/Upanishads, Sookthaas, Slokas, Songs, Smrithis till a holy name. Such Veda signals (Knowledge Particles) were received by the Rishis (Saints) when few particles of Sindhooram (Kum-Kum) adorned by Her fell into this earth. Divine mother kept all Universal Knowledge on her head divided by Good/Positive knowledge on one side and Bad/Negative on another side. Seeker's third eye (Inner Subtle Vision - Sindhoora Rekha/Line) makes an attempt to realize between Good & Bad and realizes the truth, this is called Absolute Knowledge (Gnaana). At present we have 4+1 Vedas, 1008+ Upanishads and Sookthas, Itihasaas, innumerable slokas, songs and Naamaas etc., yet we have not learned this universal truth even to the extent of say 10% (Approximation). That is why Rishis sat on meditation for thousands of years yet they could achieve only this much. So, now imagine how big is the Absolute Brahman!

Her instructions (Divine Advise) in Sanskrit is known as Vedas and Aagmaas in Tamil. Out of innumerable Purusharthas (Pursuits), 4 Purusharthas are very important and Dharma (Justice/Righteous) is the base for achieving all of these. Humans should first achieve Dharma and through Dharma, he/she must acquire or achieve Artha (Wealth), Kama (Desires) and Moksha (Salvation). The one who achieved these four would be considered as Poorna (Full Cycle), that is the purpose of his/her birth that stands fully accomplished life.

Her place is known as "Sri Puram" / "Srimannagarm" / "Sri Nagar". To reach this place once must cross 25 Prakaraas (Passages). These 25 Prakaaraas are occupied by greatest Gods and devotees waiting for Her dharsan and service. Prakaram 17 & 18 occupied by Maha Vishnu, Prakaram 16 & 17 Brahma, Prakaram 14 & 15 Astha Dikpalakas (8 Quarter Gods = Indra, Agni, Yama, Niryathi, Varunan, Vaayu, Kuberan & Easanan).

Narayan, Siva & Sakthi all are same as Brahman itself, based on the situation and time period they are known by different names.  This Brahman is also known as Nada Brahman (Brahman has many aspects such as Nadam, Bindu, Kala etc..). Nadam represents female energy. Upon realization, there will be no name or form, everything will have vanished. This is the state of absoluteness.

According to Sasthras, there are 7 crores (70 Million) Maha Manthras exists (Greatest Hymn). HRIM is the Seed/Beeja Manthra for all these 7 crores manthras. She is the form of HRIM itself. Therefore, chanting this Manthra itself gives the holly credits of chanting all those 7 crores Maha Manthras.

For a true devotee, Parasakthi is everything to say, Mother, Father, Sister, Brother, Friend, Lover, Guru etc... She saves her devotees from all corners. One can attract her through innocent devotion. She pervaded this universe in the name of Vishnu Maya and protect all devotees (irrespective of Gods, Religion, Faith, Caste etc...) until they complete the life cycle.

Summary: One can attain salvation by realizing that none in this universe including Gods and Goddesses can survive without Her (Supreme Divine Energy) blessings on them. This is the absolute truth.

SRI LALITHA SAHASRANAMAM - TAMIL BASHYAM | ADHYAY SARAM - JUN-01-2018 - DISCOURSE - 27

Om Namasivaya Nama:

Chapter 9 - Pancha Brahma Swaroopam continues...

Once you attain the divinity there is no bonding between Dharma and Adharma, everything one and the same. Whatever is accepted by the Vedas are known as Dharma (Pious/Righteous) and rejected ones are Adharma (Not Pious/Unrighteousness).

Paramathman created three main bodies for the Jeevathma viz: Sthoola, Sookshma and Para to activate this Brahmandam (Universe). In that set, Sthoola Dheham (Sareeram) is made up of 7 components viz: Skin, Blood, Meat, Fat, Bone, Marrow and Sperm.

The Athman/Jeevan gets its different names depends upon its state:

1. Sthoola Sareeram = Viswan (Jagradha Avastha) - Karma (Action)
2. Sookhma Sareeram = Thaijasan (Swapna Avastha) - Swapna (Dream)
3. Para Sareeram  = Praagnan (Sushuptha Avastha) - Kaaranam (Subtle Reason)

1. The activities between Karmedriyas 5 and Gnaanedriyas 5 are known as Jagradha Avastha
2. The activities of Antha Karanas = Mana, Budhi, Chitham and Ahamkaram are known as Sookshma Avastha
3. All of the above fourteen elements merge in the Aathma/Jeevan is known as Sushuptha Avastha.

Whereas the Paramathman Parasakthi is absolutely unattached or unafflicted by these states. Therefore, the Aathma-Swaroopi (Seeker/Devotee) must try hard to realize the absolute truth and rejoin Paramathma. This is possible only by understanding Pancha Brahma Swaroopam.

The Paramathma Parasakthi itself became Brahma (Srushti/Creation/Visible), Vishnu (Sthithi/Sustain/Sukshma) and Rudra (Samhara/Withdrawal/Athi Sukshma). Srushti is more evident and visible, whereas Sthithi is kind of subtle (because we don't know how and why we are living), and Samhara much more subtle (we really don't know why and how are we dying, why can't we live forever?). I am mentioning this because if you study Biology, Chemistry and Physics you know what are the dangers are in and around us and complicated this universe, yet we survive all odds and live. Don't you think this is a surprise (Aasharyam!).

This universe is created out of three qualities (Gunas) known as Rajas, Sathwa and Thamas. Therefore, any derived beings from this Cosmic Energy will also have these three qualities in them. Initially, it will be 33.33% equal share thereafter, each one's lifestyle based on Prarabda Karma its proportions will change. Eventually, the net effects will be afflicted on Jeeva (Life Energy) like Metabolism, Catabolism and Anabolism, though all these are energies, some are good and some are bad when its proportions change.

Paramathma Parasakthi sees everything through Sun, Moon and Stars. Sun is more visible (Jagradha Avastha), Moon is subtle (Sookhma Avastha) and Stars (Athi Sookshma Avastha) micro subtle. When we open our eyes we can see everything clearly, whereas when we see through our mind (Sookshma) we can see our In and Out, finally, when we see through our Life Energy (Athisooksma) we see everything including the visible and invisible universe.

Paramathman Parasakthi is also the life power for Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra as their Sakthis. Everything has an Energy support for its Matter. No Matter can be of its own without the support of its residing energy. Every food has energy, every form and formless has energy. It is an endless topic to narrate, therefore, in summary, everything becomes Nothing without the Energy.

According to Siva Soothram, there are 8.4 Million (84 lakhs) of Asanas are there. (Aasanaani Samasthani, Yavandho Jeeva Jandhava: Charassithi Lakshani Sivena Khadhitha nicha!!). Out of which 108 important and 36 very important and the No.1 is Padmasana. Our Divine Mother sits in this Aasana. This Padmasana is the universal seat or centre of everything. One who sits in this position will attain 6 most precious qualities known as Aiswaryam, Veeryam, Keerthi, Sree, Gnaanam and Vairagyam. The one who possesses these 6 qualities will be known as Bhagavathy or Bhagavan.

How Brahman is sub-divided and became "Padmanaaba Sahodari or Krishna Sahodari"

First Brahmam divided into 2 parts known as Dharmam and Dharmi.

Dharma further divided into 2 parts known as Purushan (Male/Positive Energy) and Sthri (Female/Negative Energy). This Purusha became Maha Vishnu and Sthri became Parvathy. Therefore these three elements (Purusha+Sthri+Dharmi) make this Universe (Akanda Brahmam).

This Brahman Divine Mother can make and dissolve this universe within a fraction of opening and closer Her eyelids once.

There are 4 types of Varna and Asramas are referred in this Chapter for everyone to know their existence and elevate themselves from Zero to Everything. They are:

Varna: Brahmana, Kshatriya, Vaisya and Soodra
Aasrama: Brahmachari, Gruhastha, Vana Prasthan and Sanyasi.

Why did She accept this practice? Because to unite everyone instead of fighting and killing each other. Nobody is greater than the other, however, the reality of life is that every being has to raise from Ignorance/darkness to Gnanan/light. This is the inevitable cycle of this Life/Jeeva. That is why we and other beings are here. There are two important methods suggested for elevation viz: Gnaana and Karma. Vedas are known as Gnaana Roopam (Aagnaa) and the same Vedas/Gnaanam are approached through viz: Knowledge and Action. This Action is nothing but Karma Kandam.

In today's life, this system is still continued and it is known as "Reservation Policy".
