Dear respected members,

 

I see that a lot of you have really profound knowledge of scriptures,

both in the conceptual as well as in the metaphysical planes. I read

the following at www.gsbkerala.com/satanar.htm#forms about the 4

forms of Vishnu. I wish to understand it very much since the content

seems to exemplify the meanings of 'Parkadal', 'Vaikuntham', etc. in

the metaphysical sense. I'm not able to understand it all in the

metaphysical sense of it.

 

Can someone please explain it to me, in whatever way you understand

this:

 

"Types of Vishnu

Pauranikas consider Narayana or Vishnu as of four types based on the

celestial world — 1. The Lord of Paradise (Vaikunta Nadha) 2. The

Lord-lying on the ocean of celestial waters (Anantha sayana) 3. The

inhabitant of the white Island (Sweta Dvipa), and 4. The Lord of

Goloka (Golokanadha).

 

1. Jyotistoma is the region of light from the earth to 21st plane. It

is full of fire. It is Vaikuntanatha–the first sacrifice. "This fiery

and divine sacrifice (Swaha yajna) consists of 34 utterances and the

21st plane is its establishment (Pratista). Thirty three fire-deities

related to Vishnu are its limbs. The whole of these deities is

Vaikuntanadha Vishnu". He will be awake for eight months and sleeps

for four months. During these four months, there will be dominating

influence of water and the fire becomes recessive. So the sacrifices

will be destroyed. This is what we call `sleep of Vishnu'.

 

2. Dwadasa yajna extends from 22nd plane to 33rd plane which is full

of spiritual water (Apa) and essence (Soma). This is the Lord Vishnu

lying on the Ocean. He is said to be having 34 utterances including

Prajapati (Pridvi). He is the second Vishnu. Vishnu of the celestial

ocean, always sleeps and often awakes. The Splendour of ignition

(Agni) is the waking state. The ignition will be weak in the sea and

hence the sacrifice will be slackened. The word `sleep' denotes this

condition.

 

3. Navaha yajna starts from 17th plane to 25th plane. The sacrificial

Vishnu of this region will have white island as His habitation but is

established at 21st level. He is the third Vishnu called Lord

Satyanarayana. As Satyanarayana will always be in self-mortification,

He is always awake. He never sleeps since Navaha yajna at 21st plane

uniformly continues throughout the year.

 

4. Pancha Dasaha yajna extends from 22nd plane to 36th plane. It is

uttered by Sama Veda. Here Gau spirits are born and hence is called

Gosava or Goloka. It is established at 29th plane. This region is

pervaded by the ocean, a form of spiritual water, air and essence.

The spiritual waters are the form of cows (Gua Spirits). They are of

spreading nature. This is the supreme world (Paramesti). Lord Vishnu

of this world is called Govinda.

 

These four divisions belong to Pridvi that extends up to 33rd level.

Thus they are the four dwellings places of the four types of Vishnu.

The Lord of Goloka has two arms but the others are four-armed.

 

Lord Satyanarayana owing to utter blackness is white in complexion.

The other three are blue in color. As Satyanarayana is an embodiment

of Tapas, (self- mortification). He has no wife.

 

The others forms have wives. Govinda Vishnu's wife is Radha. She is

the splendour of Vak (Vagjyoti) and carrier of wisdom (Janana

Vahini). Lakshmi is the consort of Samudra Seyana Vishnu. She should

be considered as Padma (Pridvi) born of the sea having the quality of

terrestrial atoms (mrit paramanu lakshana). Vaikuntanatha has five

wives – Pridvi, Tulasi, Ganga, Saraswati and Lakshmi. But he is

considered to be having two wives – Sri Devi and Lakshmi (Bhudevi),

perhaps the reason is the three wives Pridvi, Tulasi, and Saraswati

are accepted by the word `Sree'. Here `Pridvi' means celestial waters

called `maras' the source of the Earth. Tulasi means the waters of

Solar rays called marichis, the source of medicinal herbs and plants.

Ganga means waters called `ambhas'. "

 

Thanks,

 

Jayashree

Dear Jayashree,

 

There is a article by name "foundation" in this groups file-section. Please read

the same for a very good explanation of the different Vishnu Deities and their

role. The article is very good in the metaphysical sense and connect many

concepts.

 

Hare Krishna

Dear Sudharsanji,

 

I checked the file section, but there is no file with the name

of "Foundation" in it. Is it by any chance removed or renamed or put

in some other folder?

 

Thanks,

 

Jayashree

Dear Jayashree,

 

Please drop the "ji" and call me Sudharsan.The document is found in the Sri

Jagannath Group (Achyutha Gurukul). That list serves as a Gurukul with the sole

purpose of teaching Jyotish.You will find "foundation.doc" in the file

section.If you still cannot access it, I can email the same.Sorry for the

confusion.

 

Hare Krishna
