While, Lord Sriman Narayana in the form of Vasudeva, Sankarshana,etc. might be creating and destroying at a more fundamental or microscopic level, Brahma and Shiva, under the direction of Lord Sriman Narayana might be creating at the gross or macroscopic level. For instance, if we need to produce a computer screen, we need the raw material polymers, silicon, etc which are manufactured by some companies, while other companies are simply taking those raw materials and turning into polymer sheets, glass, semiconductor chips, and other materials. Yet, the final producer might be simply assembling these as per the blue print. The final producers are like the material bodies of jivathmas. Lord Brahma and Shiva are like the manufacturers of semiconductors and ready products like screens, cables, etc. Lord Vasudeva, Sankarshana, etc. are like the more fundamental manufacturers who are ptoducing the raw materials. Lord Sankarshana, etc. might be creating gravitational forces, subatomic forces, and the energy, etc; Lord Vasudeva, Pradhumna, etc. might be producing the subatomic fundamental particles from spiritual material through their maya. Lord Brahma is simply using these particles, and through the energy and forces might be molding them into living material. Destruction probably proceeds at microscopic fundamental level and also macroscopic or gross levels. However, Lord Brhma and Lord Siva both emnated from Lord Sriman Narayana and perform the creation and destruction tasks at the macroscpic levels. Thus there is no conflict between Pancharathra Agama and the Puranas, and infact they are complimentary to each other. As explained in Srimad Bhagavatham, Lord Brahma and Lord Siva are under the Maya of Lord Sriman Narayana. Lord Krishna says "Mama Maya Durachaya." Brahma could not overcome the maya of Lord Krishna when Brham stole the cows and gopa balas from Sri Krishna. When Siva wanted to see Mohuni avatharam, Lord Vishnu warned that he (Siva) would not overcome his maya and did not overcome Visnu-maya and ran after Mohini. Lord Sriman Narayana is the ultimate cause "Narayna ParaBrahama Sarva KArana KAranam." Lord Sriman Narayana is the cause of all causes. With all glories to Lord Sriman Narayan and pranams to Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Thridandi Ramanuja Sriman Narayan Jeeyar Swamy varu, I remain, Sincerely Narender Reddy reddynp@xxxx __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
