From: "rangaswamy_m" <rangaswamy_m@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: Kalaivani4krishna@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Srinivasa Date: Tue, 30 Jul 2002 11:27:09 -0000 Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Dearest Sriman Madhavakkannan Swamin, Thanks for your thought-provoking answer. Adiyen however thinks that Kumari Kalaivani's question pertains to Thayar's residence in the Lord's Vakshasthalam and whether it pre-dates the Kurma Avataram. Based on the Shruti vakyams "naranArImayO Hari", "narayaNAthmikA devi", "hrIshchathE lakshmIscha pathnyoU", and "pruthivyA asyEshAna jagathO vishNu pathni", it readily follows that Thayar's residence in the Lord's Vakshasthalam is eternal and has been so from beginningless time. Further testimony in support of the eternal union between the Lord and Sri can be found in the dvaya mantram, which glorifies the concept SharaNagati to the Lotus Feet of our Lord never separated from Sri. The benefit of SharaNagati is jointly conferred by the Divine Couple. Furthermore, it is a yajna performed by Our most compassionate Lord. The term pathni is reserved for exclusive use in the context of yajna. Since this yajna has been performed from beginningless time, it follows that the union between Perumal and Thayar is eternal. The Agamas extol the eternal union between Perumal and Thayar as "Ekamath sahachari". Swami Desikan extols these aspects in the Sri sthuti salutations "vakshapItIm madhuvijayinO BhUshayanthIm svakAnthyA", "dampathi daIvatam na:", "jangamA jangamAnAm", "AchakyusthvAm priya sahacharImaIkamathyOpapannAm", and "asyEshAna thvamasi jagatha: samshrayanthI mukundham". Hope this serves as input for further reflections. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan
