dear Amuthan sir, i wish to answer ur questions. the present day ashtangayoga is not decended from nathamuni as it is clear from guruparampara that Alavandar failed to collect it from Manakkal nambi. so better to avoid the yogam of nawadays jeevas svatantryam is always contolled by the karma according to visishtaadvaita no nirguna bhramman is accepted nad we dont accept advitins experience as a real one dasan kaasyapah Amuthan Arunkumar <aparyap@xxxx> wrote:SrImate rAmAnujAya nama: SrImate nigamAntamahAdeSikAya nama: dear SrI vaishnavAs, i am aparyAptAmrta dAsan. i have very recently joined the SrIrangaSrI group. i have a few basic questions to shoot. 1. can ashtAnga yoga (as explained by pAtAnjali in his yoga sUtrAs) be practised by a prapannan, just as Bagavat prEtyartam ? is this the same as what our AcAryan SrI nAtamuni practised? 2. what is the amount of svAtantryam for a jEvAtmA ? 3. does the vishishtAdvaita philosophy accept the existence of nirguna brahmam ? if not, how can the direct experiences of the advaitins be explained? i would be extremely grateful to you if you can attach the actual explanations given by our AcAryAs (if any) to the above small doubts of adiyEn. i wish all the SrI vaishnavAs a very happy SrI rAmAnuja thirunakshtram celebration(which happens to fall on may 6, this year) dasAn, aparyAptAmrtan. ________________________________________________________________________ Missed your favourite TV serial last night?
