Prakruti, Nature of Universe

[Guest guest]

NArAyaNa tE namo namo, Bhava Nararada Sannuta namo namo

Veda mantra swaroopa namo namo.

 

Mani: thanks for the meaning of satvika tyagam.

The description of Universe as Sriman Narayana's Body (prakuti) by Sri

Sadagopan and Mani's comments and further clarification form interesting

reading. This brings to my mind other descriptions in Srutis.

In Purusha Sukta " Padosya ViswA Bhutani TripadasyAmrutam Divi"

Vishnu Sahasranama begins significantly with " Vishvam Vishnu"

In Gita, Bhagavan describes his swaroopa in Chapters IX and X and discloses

His

Vishvaroopam in Chapter XI

In Chhandogyopanishad Sat i.e. Being with consciousness willed that it may

expand and multiply, so one became many (Cf Upanishads by C. Rajagopalachari)

I consider these as different descriptions given to us to facilitate the

understanding of the Nature of the unknowable Brahman, Sriman NArAyana

Narasimhan.
