BPHS First Chapter and lesson 3

[Guest guest]

Hare Krishna, to all.

 

Please accept my humble obeisances.

 

 

 

om namo bhagavate tubhyam

vasudevaya dhimahi

namah sankarsanaya ca

 

"Let us all chant the glories of Vasudeva, along with His plenary

expansions Pradyumna, Aniruddha and Sankarsana!"

Srimad Bhagavatam (Bhag.) 1.5.37.

 

 

 

After reading a letter by Prabhu Sanjay Rath, in which said that we have

to learn by heart every verse of the BPHS, i return to chapter one. All

that i wrote here is what "may be", as per my understanding. I will very

pleased if anybody make some coments to this.

 

 

 

>From the Lesson 3, P. Sanjay Rath tells about the importance of the four

division of Lord Vishnu, and His result in the Bha-Chakra.

 

I would like to start with the meaning of "Bha-chakra". As per Jiva

Gosvami, "bha" (i.e. in the word Bhagavan) means "one who fully

maintains" or "guardian". Another meaning that Srila Prabhupada explains

is that "bha" comes from "bhaya", or "fear". The word "chakra" means

"wheel", so "bha-chakra" could means:

 

1. The wheel that is the guardian or maintains all the living entities,

as it shows the results of the good and bad deeds, so there is the way

to sustain the strength of the devas.

 

2. The wheel of fear; maybe it's not very likely, but could be a meaning

too, because it destroys the strength of the demons.

 

>From the Krishna Book, it must be remember that when Krishna went to

fight to Kamsa, the people saw Krishna as per own nature. So, for the

demons, the bha-chakra must be a very feary aspect of the lord, and for

the devotes, could be very protective.

 

 

 

P. Sanjay explains in lesson 3, that the division of Narayana in four

parts gives origin to the kendra's division. In the books translated for

Srila Prabhupada, i found almost anything about sri, bhu and nila sakti.

So i looked for Vasudeva, Aniruddha, Pradyumna and Sankarsana.

 

That four division representes the catur-vyuha of the Lord, and in Bhag.

6.16.18 said that Vasudeva governs the east direction; Aniruddha the

North; Pradyumna the South and Sankarsana the West.

 

So, translating to the bha-chakra, we have that Vasudeva, the fourth

division governs the first house; it representes suddha-sattwa, or pure

goodness. Is from Vasudeva that expands the other three. So, the

principal house in the bha-chakra is the lagna, as it represents

"physiqe, appearance, intellect, complexion, vigour, weakness, joy and

sorrow and innate nature". Mind, intelligence and senses are seen in the

first house.

 

Aniruddha governs the 10 house, the house of karma, wich borns from the

mind. Aniruddha is an expansion of the mind of the Lord. From

Bhagavad-gita we can know that is the mental attitude wich generates

good or bad karma.

 

Pradyumna the 4th house. Pradyumna is an expansion of the intelligence

of the Lord. I found no relation.

 

Sankarsana the 7th house. He is an expansion of the senses of the Lord;

an expansion of tama-guna. Related to the wife, it hardly could mean the

sensual pleasures. From seventh house is seen death. Sankarsana, as it's

from tama-guna, means destruction.

 

 

This is the first part. I'll wait for any comments, and i'll read

something about the gunas, and try to find any relation with the

trikonas.

 

 

Thans for your time. I'm a little concern; i hope may not have

speculated a lot, but anyway, it's the only way to learn.

 

Your sisya:

Arjuna-vallabha das.
