The 41st Naamam of SrI VenkatEsa AshtOttharam: *************************************** ThriguNAsrayAya Nama: One who is the dhravyam , which is the home of the Satthva, Rajasand TamO guNams. The 14th Chapter of SrImad Bhagavath GitA has elaborationson this Naamam. Lord says that My womb is the great Prakrithi( Mama yOnir-mahath garbham). In that I lay my germ( TasmingarbhE dhadhAmyaham). Arjuna! From that act is the birth ofall beings (Sambhava: SarvabhUthAnAm tathO bhavathi BhAratha). Sattva , Rajas and Tamas are the three guNAs that arise fromthis prakruthi .They bind the immutable Self in the body(Nibhadhnanthi dEhE dEhinam avyayam). Our Lord is beyond the thriguNams , which are His dhravyam .He is thus ThriguNAtheethan. The embodied Self , crossing beyondthese thriguNaas (GuNAn yEthAn atheethya) which arise in the body ,and freed from birth , death , age and pain , attains immortality(Janma Mruthyu JarA dukkha: svairvimukthO amrutham asnuthE). Our Lord is NirguNan in the sense that "Satthva and otherguNA that are in the Prakrithi have no place in BhagavAn".He keeps all of them however under His control (Sarvasya VaseeSarvayEsAana:). |
