SRIMATHE BHOOMIDEVI SAMETHA SRINIVASA PARABHRAMANE NAMAHA
SRIMATHE NIHAMANTHA MAHADESIKAYA NAMAHA
Dear Sriman Rajagopalan and Anand,
Adiyen is of the opinion that if you have real faith in SRIMAN NARAYANA you will not have any fear. In the sixteenth chapter of Bhagavad Gita THE LORD SAID: ("FEARLESSNES, PURITY OF HEART , STEADFASTNESS IN KNOWLEDGE AND YOHA, ALMS GIVING, CONTROL OF THE SENSES, YAJNA, STUDY OF THE SCRIPTURES, AUSTERITY AND STRAIGHTFORWARDNESS" form the divine traits in a mortal soul. Fear in all of its forms resolves itself into the fear of being hurt or killed. It is based on the ignorance that one is the body and not the athman. The one given to fear is good for nothing. But all merits are born of fearlessness. The symbolic pose of ABHAYA or fearlessness is characteristic of all the Deities that represent Iswara. The idea is that Godhood and fear are incompatible. As a sadhaka draws near God he rids himself of all fears. ) Adiyen has taken this form the book on Bhagavad Gita by Swamy Chidbhavananda.
Adiyen feels that this clarifies clearly.
