gosay 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2005 A beautiful poem:: Twameva mata ca pita twameva twameva bandhusca sakha twameva twameva vidya dravinam twameva twameva sarvam mama devadeva so that means mata(mother)=god and pita(father)=god bhandhu(relative) knowledge/wisdom=god everything=god as per advitha if god=me and me=god, then substing in the above all menas? mata=me pita=me bhandhu=me......etc so this revleas that, its my illusion that they are different, and prooving that the " external world is a manifestation of the inner world" and so i also agree our atheist freinds who all also say that "its all in the mind" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murlikrsna 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2006 It is in Garga Samhita. Prayed by a devotee who was cursed to become a conch becouse he has stolen the conch which belongs to his Guru. By the instruction of his Guru He in the form of conch waited for Lord Krsna for 100years near a lake. As soon as he had the darshan of Lord Srikrsna he received his original form and then he prayed with many verses "twamava mata" is one of them. This place is known as Sankha Tirtha near Dwarika.

Guest guest Report post Posted May 2, 2006 Jai Sri krishna, i think this verse appears in one of the 3 gadyas That Sri Ramanuja composed. I thinn its the Sharanagati Gadyam (rather than Ranga Gadya or Vaikuntha Gadya) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
