SRIMATHE rAMANUJAYA NAMAHA; APPAN THIRUVADIGALE SARANAM Dear Smt. Gita Accept my pranam This is loud thinking on 'Apourusheya' Veda... meaning Knowledge Sruthi... """ that is heardSmruthi.. " " that is remembered. These words are of Sanskrit origin.But, the substance is universal.
The revelation of Brhaman (Sriman Narayanan ) and sastras were made to Brhma. He passed on sastras to Rishis and from them to humanity by Acharya- sishyas orally earlier and now by other means also ( as the sceince advances).
As the substance is universal and absolute, the experience of revelation can be had by other persons also, who communicate in other languages. Is this Correct?
If this position is contested, the condition of Brhaman being Absolute and universal will not hold good.
Then, Brhman ie., Sriman Narayana, Who is eternal or infinite can be revealed by knowledge,only. Only to those who can know or understand him
This means that Lord can reveal himself of his own free will to whom he wishes (Nirhethuka Krupai). No body can question him
He can be revealed to those who have undergone rigorous tests of Gnam and Anushtanams as per scriptures and that too, if he is pleased. or satisfied. ( Sakethuka krupai). A very difficult proposition. Scriptures call this form as Bakhti
But, in modern days Bakhti is diluted and is handled by one and all who has pen and paper or mouth.
And that too a portion of HIM as HE is endless (bothways,,begining and end) And that as per the wishes of the devoteeIn other words this experirnce is endless and will continue for ever endlessly (SATA PASYANTHI SOoRAYAHA....Nithya sooris enjoy him endlessly)
So, in the vast space, without any time limit (past, present or future) experiences of Nithyasuris (whom the laws karma do not affect),MUKTAS who have got released from Samsara ( or got away fom birth and death) to the extent or the way in which they wish or understand are propable .
Is this correct ? Another point to ponder,If a begining is pointed out it can be relative only. But NoBODY KNOWS ..OLD RISHIS, PRESENT DAY SCEINTISTS OR EVEN EMPERUMAN......THAT IS CALLED INFINITE.
So knowledge and Ignorance are related terms . Once knowledge dawns Ignorance vanishes.
To gain knowledge authoritative scriptures or reliable documents are necessary.
'Apourusheya" not by a poursha..... Pourusha sooktam= deals with Pourusha that is Lord, Emperuman, the creator. He is eternal,: Easvara, Chethana and Achethana are eternal and are infinite in number. He creates Leela Vibhuthi for his recreation. The Achethana forms the Prakruthi and 'Sareera" for the Chethanas. (Jeevathmas). The game is on. The goal is Chethanas should worship him always. But, they fall prey to worldly (prakruthi vikarangal) pleasures and forget the Lord. To correct them Sastras..Rules and regulations..Veda. Vedhantham about Brahman are revealed to Brahma ( they are already in existance) So, this is passed on . No body made it. No human being or Devatha made it. That is Apourusheya Hence, Vedas, Apourusheya utterancs become the basic reliable document for philosophy. If it is man made document it is suspicious to various forms errors and mistakes etc.,
The Vedas now a days are avialable in printed form. .withadditions,alterations, interpolations deletions etc,. That is a different story.
This Adiyen' s loud thinking. Baghavatas may correct me wherever Adiyen have gone wrong.
