Guest guest Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Brahm gyana- is the end point of various ways (yogas) of which is Bhakti is one. Bhakti is a way. The end point or points ( I am just parroting without any real realization of the profoundness of these words) of Bhakti school are many and various claims are made. Bhakti school thinks Brahma Gnana as a lower level realization. It claims the Bhagavan realization as the ultimate. The Saiva cults in Tamilnadu (and Kashmir) proclaim these Bhagavan realizations to be of the following types 1. Salokya Moksha- Attaining God's world 2. Sameebhya Moksha- Attaining his closeness (in His world) 3. Saroopa Moksha - Attaining his form 4. Sayujya Moksha- Becoming one with God There is a story how Vyasa was dissatisfied even after compiling Brahma Sutras. Something was telling his inner self that whatever was his achievement, was not enough. Then the meeting with Sage Narada happened, who advised Vyasa to write a treatise on Bhakti and thus was born the Srimad Bhagavatam. It was at this moment that Vyasa felt his mission fulfilled. I am just writing off hand from memory. Maybe members can give a specific reply .

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Dear Venkatji, Your parroting is Profound & Flawless :-D (just joking) Just one addition to the types of Realizations, as per Bhakti Marga: 5. Sarshti Moksha - Attaining God's Wealth/Opulence (Material as well as Spiritual....I believe) Regards, Anupam , " J.venkatasubramanian " <apexpreci2000 wrote: > > Brahm gyana- is the end point of various ways (yogas) of which is > Bhakti is one. > > Bhakti is a way.
