Alternately, since he reads the vEdhas, he is called \u2018brAhmaNa:\u2019.<\/p>\n \u0926\u0924\u094d\u0924\u093e\u0924\u094d\u0930\u0946\u092f\u093e\u0926\u093f \u0930\u0942\u092a\u0946\u0923 \u0939\u094d\u092f\u0941\u0926\u0940\u0930\u094d\u0923\u094a \u092c\u094d\u0930\u093e\u0939\u094d\u092e\u0923\u0903 \u0938\u094d\u092e\u0943\u0924\u0903 | 673) brahmI<\/u> (\u092c\u094d\u0930\u0939\u094d\u092e\u0940)<\/p>\n In this way (as shown in some of the previous divine names), bhagavAn himself is the owner of the pramANa (means of knowledge – vEdhas) and pramEya (the object of such knowledge \u2013 the entities).

Such people are dear to bhagavAn. Hence, he is called \u2018brAhmaNapriya:\u2019.<\/p>\n The scriptures have shown thus:<\/p>\n In this way, the brAhmaNas are hailed in many places infinitely.<\/p>\n To further illustrate, the scriptures have said thus:<\/p>\n Etymology: The masters of vEdhas are called \u2018vipra\u2019s.

Yet, he enables such fallen souls to attain his highest self by means of a great flight of stairs connoting a sequence of knowledge and devotion leading up to bhagavAn. Thus, he is called \u2018mahAkrama:\u2019 \u2013 the one who lays a great path for his devotees to traverse.<\/p>\n This is akin to a mother suckling her child at the beginning, subsequently moving on to the cow\u2019s milk, and then mild food, and finally feeding it with all delicacies. Similarly, bhagavAn also has a sequence of occurrences for uniting a fallen soul with himself, starting with identifying a good deed for that soul, removing aversion towards himself, generating trust in vEdhas, creating interest towards himself, making them follow his words, and thereby generating knowledge, finally maturing such knowledge into devotion \u2013 which subsequently brings that soul close to himself. bhagavAn does all these in order to uplift a fallen soul as well as to enable such an uplifted soul to serve him.<\/p>\n Otherwise, the scriptures show the adverse consequences thus:<\/p>\n \u201cIf a soul doesn\u2019t traverse the path laid down by bhagavAn, such a soul deserves to be ever bound in this samsAra, covered with ignorance at all times\u201d<\/p>\n That is why it is said thus: \u201cWhen the individual souls have reduced their sins greatly by practicing thapas and with undivided contemplation of bhagavAn in thousands of births, only then the true devotion unto bhagavAn krishNa is born in them\u201d<\/p>\n bhagavAn himself declares thus in the bhagavath gIthA: \u201cThe knowledgeable soul surrenders unto me only at the end of many of births\u201d, \u201cOh arjuna, wish to attain me by constant practice\u201d, etc.<\/p>\n Etymology: He is called \u2018mahAkrama:\u2019, who has laid down a sequential path of knowledge, devotion, etc as verily the flight of stairs to uplift a fallen soul from the depth of samsAra to unite such a soul with himself \u2013 who is the greatest of all souls.<\/p>\n \u092a\u0930\u092e\u094a\u0928\u094d\u0928\u0924\u093f\u092e\u093e\u0924\u094d\u092e\u093e\u0928\u0902 \u0928\u093f\u092e\u094d\u0928\u093e\u0924\u094d \u092d\u0935\u0930\u0938\u093e\u0924\u0932\u093e\u0924\u094d | 677) mahAkarmA<\/u> (\u092e\u0939\u093e\u0915\u0930\u094d\u092e\u093e) (also repeated in 793)<\/p>\n bhagavAn makes even the souls born in the lowest of births such as bacteria et al \u2013 which are microscopic in size and live on the indigestible remnants left over by others \u2013 to progress slowly across many births and finally attain him. Since he possesses such an astonishing deed, he is called \u2018mahAkarmA\u2019.<\/p>\n Etymology: He \u2013 who possesses amazing deeds that make even the lowliest of organisms to eventually progress and finally attain and enjoy his union \u2013 is called \u2018mahAkarmA\u2019.<\/p>\n \u0905\u0924\u094d\u092f\u0928\u094d\u0924\u0939\u0940\u0928\u093e\u0928\u094d \u091c\u0928\u094d\u0924\u0942\u0902\u0936\u094d\u091a \u092f\u094a\u0917\u094d\u092f\u093e\u0928\u094d \u0938\u094d\u0935\u093e\u0928\u0941\u092d\u0935\u0938\u094d\u092f \u0939\u093f | 678) mahAthEjA:<\/u> (\u092e\u0939\u093e\u0924\u0946\u091c\u093e\u0903)<\/p>\n bhagavAn\u2019s divine effulgence is such that it takes away the darkness of ignorance from all such thAmasic souls (born in lowly births due to their karma). Thus, he is called \u2018mahAthEjA:\u2019.<\/p>\n Etymology: bhagavAn is called \u2018mahAthEjA:\u2019 because he possesses divine effulgence that takes away the darkness of ignorance which has no beginning (from the individual souls born in lowly births due to their karma). This eight syllable manthra grants effulgence upon the chanters.<\/p>\n \u0905\u0928\u093e\u0926\u094d\u092f\u0935\u093f\u0926\u094d\u092f\u093e\u0916\u094d\u092f\u093e \u0924\u092e\u094a\u0939\u093e\u0930\u093f \u0924\u0946\u091c\u094a \u092e\u0939\u0926\u094d\u092f\u0924\u0903 | 679) mahOraga:<\/u> (\u092e\u0939\u094a\u0930\u0917\u0903)<\/p>\n How does such a great supreme soul bhagavAn come near infinitesimally small creatures? He comes near such small creatures (enters their hearts) by entering their senses in the form of material objects at first, and in turn entering their minds through their senses. Thus, he is called \u2018mahOraga:\u2019 \u2013 the one who enters the mind.<\/p>\n The word \u2018ura:\u2019 shows the hearts of such fallen souls. Since bhagavAn enters such hearts of fallen souls (like a snake entering an anthill), he is called \u2018mahOraga:\u2019.<\/p>\n The syllable \u2018sa\u2019 (\u0938\u094d) in the word \u2018uras\u2019 \u0909\u0930\u0938\u094d (chest) is lost, and the root \u2018gam\u2019 \u0917\u092e\u094d (to go) with the \u2018da:\u2019 (\u0921\u0903) adjunct is suffixed as per grammatical rules, resulting in the word \u2018uraga:\u2019 (\u0909\u0930\u0917\u0903).<\/p>\n Etymology: bhagavAn is popularly called \u2018mahOraga:\u2019, since he enters the hearts of fallen souls through their mind (and senses).<\/p>\n \u092e\u0939\u094a\u0930\u0917 \u0907\u0924\u093f \u0916\u094d\u092f\u093e\u0924\u0936\u094d\u091a\u093f\u0924\u094d\u0924\u0926\u094d\u0935\u093e\u0930\u093e \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0935\u0946\u0936\u0928\u093e\u0924\u094d |<\/p>\n 680) mahAkrathu:<\/u> (\u092e\u0939\u093e\u0915\u094d\u0930\u0924\u0941\u0903)<\/p>\n The vishNu dharma says thus about bhagavAn\u2019s simplicity: \u201cAfter all, who wouldn\u2019t please bhagavAn \u2013 who is pleased not by all riches and wealth, or by clothes or ornaments, but is pleased by the purity at heart alone?\u201d<\/p>\n As shown in this scriptural statement, bhagavAn is very easily pleased by very simple ways of worship. Thus, he is called \u2018mahAkrathu:\u2019 \u2013 the one who is very easily worshipped.<\/p>\n bhagavAn is easily worshipped by all simple deeds mentioned in the Agama SASthras (such as lighting a lamp, making simple offerings like arghya, pAdhya, etc, offering him daily food, singing his glories from any of the many authentic sources, etc) done with utmost devotion with a feeling of complete submission.<\/p>\n bhagavAn himself confirms this in the bhagavath gIthA, thus: \u201cOh arjuna, offer unto me all that you do as a part of your living, all that you eat for your living, and all that you do as a part of your daily and occasional worship such as oblations, meditation, etc.\u201d<\/p>\n Etymology: He who is worshipped by everyone in a very simple way is called \u2018mahAkrathu:\u2019.<\/p>\n \u0938\u0930\u094d\u0935\u0948\u0936\u094d\u091a \u0938\u0941\u0915\u0930\u093e \u092a\u0942\u091c\u093e \u092f\u0938\u094d\u092f \u0938\u094d\u092f\u093e\u0924\u094d \u0938 \u092e\u0939\u093e\u0915\u094d\u0930\u0924\u0941\u0903 |<\/p>\n adiyen srinivasa raja ramanuja dasan<\/p>\n archived in\u00a0https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013\u00a0https:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Full Series << Part 67 671) brahmavith (\u092c\u094d\u0930\u0939\u094d\u092e\u0935\u093f\u0924\u094d) The vEdhas, which expound such \u2018dharma\u2019s is also called \u2018brahma\u2019.
