SRIMATHE RAMANUJAYA NAMAHA;
APPAN THIRUVADIGALE SARANAM.


Dear Bhavathas, Accept my pranam. 
  
During the last four weeks Adiyen had been studying Srimad Bhavat Gita Chapter 
IV. Slokas 4 to 11 and had a pleasant experience. Adiyen wanted to share my 
musings among Bhavathas. Hence these postings. Long one explaining the secrets 
of Avathar of Sriman Narayanan and the relation to Archavathar.

A word of caution. 

Adiyen in my zeal might have committed many mistakes, grammatically, 
factually.or otherwise. Adiyen would be thankful if they are pointed out for 
correction. Again, too many quotations might have been used. Perhaps this may 
affect the tempo of the postings Anyway Adiyen feel they may be of use in 
establishing the points discussed therein.. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sloka.6: (Emperuman) Lord Krishna says that He does not take birth due to Karma 
like chethanas.
He do not have death ( change of Sareera) due to Karma just like Chetanas.
He is the Lord of everything.
He takes many births( Avathars) by His sankalpa with His Aprakrutha Thirumeni 
Why should he take a birth? Is there any time schedule? Where will he takehis 
Avathar? 
In what way it is helpful to Chethanas?

These points are dealt with in these slokas. We may call it as Avathara 
Rahasyam.

AVATHARA RAHASYAM (1)

?AJO ABHI SAN SAMBHAVAMI? Emperuman has no birth or death. He is Eternal. He 
takes Avathars with his Aprakrutha Thirumeni
? AJAYAMANO BAHOOTHA VIJAYATHE? ( Purusha Suktham) Though He has no birth He 
takes birth. That means His Avathar is not as results of karmas as inthe case 
of Jeevathmas. It is because of his determination ( Sankalpa) to do so.
His body is made of Aprakrutha? and not like Jeevas whose bodies are madeof 
Prakrutha materials, Sathva, Rajas and Thamas.
AVYAYAATHMA; He is eternal. He retains all his Kalyana Gunas. 
1. Heyaprathayaneekathvam. ? Uyarvara Uyar Nalamudaiyavan. He has supreme good 
qualities only. They are just opposite to the base qualities. ( Goodand bad 
qualities are for chethanas only)
2. He is the Supreme Lord. All other deities are subordinate to him.
3. His extraordinary qualities are Knower of all,(Sarvanjathavam) providential 
determinations (Satya sankalpam), faultless (apahatha papmathvam) all his 
desires are full filled (Avaptha samastha kamathvam)etc., 
4. He hides some of his qualities in some Avathars as the situation warrants

Is His body made up of Satva, Rajas and Thamas like Chethanas ?

No, His body is made up of Aprakrutha (not related to earthly maters).
? NA BHOOTHA SANGA SAMSTHANO DHEHOASYA PARAMATHMANAHA; ? (Bharatham Santhi 
Parvam 206.60).
? NA THASYA PRAKRUTHAA MOORTHIR MAMSAMEDHOASTHI Sambhava?
(Vayu puranam Poora.34-40, Varaha 14-41)

?Swam?..?Athistaya?..Bodies (Sareeras) of Chethanas are subject to mutations 
But, His body is not such one. It is for Him only .He takes such one by his 
special will for that occasion. 
? ADHITYA VARNAM THAMSA; PARSATHATH? (Purusha suktam)(The great Purushashines 
like Surya, Away from Thamas )
? MAREECHINAM PADHAM? (Land of Nithya Suris)( Purusha suktam)
? RUCHAM BRAHMAM JANAYANTHA; DHEVAH AGRE THADHABHRUVAN?
(Purusha suktam) (Nitya Suris said NAMAH; in the early period in praise of 
Brhmam and that pleases Him)

? HRESCHA THE LAKSHMEESCHA PATHNIYAOU? (Sri and Bhoomi devis are your
consorts)

All these Pramanas(proofs ) go to confirm that He is in ParamaPadam with 
Sri,Bhoomi etc., and Nithya suris are serving Him.

He takes different Avathars for the benefit of His devotees for protection and 
meditation.
?YAH; ESHOANTHARADHITHTHYE HIRANMAYA; PURUSHA;? (Santh.1.6.6.) (Goldencoloured 
Purusha Who is in the centre of the Sun )
? KADHIR Mathiyam pol mukaththan? ( Thiruppavai.1)
His face is as bright as the sun and as cool as the moon.

There many authorities to prove his image, colour etc., These authorities 
establishes that it is Lord Sriman Narayanan, the Brahman.
