Dear Where in any pramAnas or commentry is parama padham stated as state of present being?? What does the term parama padham mean?? How have the commentators of different schools of thought explained the meaning and significance of this term?? I request the person who said that "para padham" is not a planet or place in the universe,(what do you mean by the term universe) it is a state of present being. to validate his "Statement" with pramaAnAs. Or is it his own understaning or expression?? If it is so he has every right to have such a view..as he has the liberty and freedom of speech thoughtane experssion.. But if expressed in a public forum please note others also have the right to express their views which may be sometimes drastically (but surely constructive) critical..replies and it applies to everyone who posts here. regards Venkat --- In ramanuja@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, purohit@xxxx wrote: > > > Adiyen > Regarding the nature of Param Padam a fabulous definition is given in Katha > Upanishad: > > 10-11.
