Hare Krishna. We will come to significance of this later. First, do you
agree that there are eternal names and forms as per advaita? I've quoted
the smrti and sridhara. If you disagree, then you should quote an earlier
advaita acharya.
> Why only vaikunta or kailAsa eternal for the paramArtha jnAni or as per
advaita ?? As sri vidyA prabhuji said for the jnAni wherever he is for
him it is vaikunTa/kailAsa only and whatever he sees (nAma rUpa) is in
its 'sadrUpa' vishNu/nArAyaNa only. yasmin brahmaNi pancha pancha janAH,
OtaM cha prOtaMcha ...amrutaM brahma manye ahaM, na cha ahaM AtmAnaM
tatOnyatvena jAne...sa cha bAhyalOkO nAsti asmAkaM Atma
vyatiriktaH.....sarvaM hi asmAkaM AtmabhutaM eva sarvasya cha vayaM
AtmabhUtaH clarifies shruti / shankara...So, socalled vaikunata / kailAsa
lOka-s, permanent residents of these lOka-s, deva-s, pitru-s, gandharva-s
etc. and their nAma, rUpa-s etc. are not anyway Atma vyatiriktaH for the
paramArtha jnAni.
I've quoted the smrti and sridhara. If you disagree, then you should quote
an earlier advaita acharya.
> I think sri sridhara's commentary should be understood as per the
samyak or samAna drushti of the paramArtha jnAni. samaM pashyanhi
sarvatra, samavasthitamIshvaraM says geeta...
Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
