Namaste,
Brahman OR para Brahman of advaita is "I am."
>> And this 'I am' jnAnaM should be upAdhi rahita, vishesha rahita, kevala
svarUpa jnAnaM. Then only we can bravely declare the below.
Even I may not declare it bravely but here we are talking about "prabrhama
of advaita" so that way ain't we talking about upAdhirahita caitanyam?
>>there is shiva, there is vishNu, there is jagadaMba and there indeed
vividha deva- devata-s and the difference in the worshipping of respective
deities in a vedic way as long as we are identifying ourselves with
BMI.****
Ofcourse there is Shiva, there is Vishnu, I was saying that there is
nothing like prabrhama is Shiv OR Vishnu. Prabrham of Advaita is "I am." "I
am" the hero of the story :-). Do not we say in sandhya Asawadityo braham
brahmevAhamasmi?
Where there is Brahma alone from where the question of either Vishun is
Brahma OR Shiva is Brahma arises?
>> yes, this upAdhi bheda is not a problem in vyavahAra where there is
bhedha between upAsaka, upAsya, upAsanaM. As long as we are not trying to
rank the vishNu-shiva and to prove the supremacy of one over another, this
bheda is in a way good for the different ways of worship :-) ***
Correct :-)
Thanks for your nice input.
