Dear Srinivas, The Q1 is a oft repeated qurrey. Aham Brahma asmi, is a sutric statement which all 3 of the acharyas take. Only the interpretation differs. If you take this with tat tvam asi and other aphorism's Emperumanar's definition fits logically. Yr Q2, why people go to other gods? Answers are many. Let me give a simple logic For the work that can be done by the municipal clerk, you dont go to the Collector correct. That is it.

Question 1: ----------------- "Aham Brahmasmi" (meaning that I am Bramhan) is the philosophy propounded By Sri Sankaracharya, who started the Advaita philosophy ? Is this true ? Question 2 ------------------ Lord Krishna tells in Geeta that "people with low intelligence pray other Gods "Anthavathhu phalam thesham thadbhavatyalpa medhasam..". All our scholars read this, but still they pary other Gods like Shiva, Ganapthi etc ? Why is this ? In the temples of Lor Vishnu also in USA, I see people pray other Gods ? Is this because they are overpowered by His Maya ? Srinivas Sv5679@xxxxxxx --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? vote.yahoo.com - Register online to vote today!
