Gyana Ichcha Kriya

Lord Narayana does not force the soul jeeva to enact any karma . On the contrary he has leased his  independence with respect to Gyana ,ichcha and kriya to the jeeva. So when a desire occurs in a jeeva ,his buddhi analyses with available gyana about the status of desire and then according to the conducive circumstance [ external anukula paristithi , which exists or acts as per our poorva janma karma] ,he makes a kriya [efforts] . Now nothing is forced onto him in this process. Jeeva is independent when it comes to desire . One can desire anything ,nothing stops from desiring . Nothing stops you from making efforts either. everybody is free to try out his luck .

But what differentiates one from another is Gnyana . It is knowledge that makes the difference between different people in pursuing their goals. Person with higher knowledge approaches a goal differently than a less knowledged soul at any given point.

Now we have a means to accumulate knowledge .Knowledge is  the only wealth that no thief can steal from us. Our actions though inspired by Lord [who is complete and of independent knowledge] yet we set out our actions as per our local knowledge [distinctly different from Lord] . This gyana is ever increasing birth after birth and experience after experience ,it fortifies . Our acts also so improves as per our gyana. Thus our ability to sin or punya is limited to gyana. One must make maximum efforts to gain gyana.

Thus lesser knowledged suffers more than the one with more kowledge. Mukhyaprana [Hanuman] has complete knowledge and hence he is untouched by grief. Lord gives knowledge when one performs nishkaam karma.

Vaali Sugreeva

Vaali sugreeva were brothers . Vaali was incarnation of Indra , Sugreeva ,of Surya. Sugreeva sought help of Rama to finish Vaali. After tests by Sugreeva ,Rama sent Sugreeva to Fight Vaali.

• Fisrt time HE did not kill Vaali.
• Sugreeva came back .
• Rama assured to kill ,put a garland to him.
• Vali was killed from behind by Rama.

Philosophy.

1. why did Rama not kill him first time ?

Rama is God ,therefore thinking he did not recognise Vaali ,is untenable. When two brothers are at loggerheads ,they usually go to any extent in fight. But once revenge is over , There is sudden surge of brotherhood . and subsequent repentance[this is the nature of blood relation].Thus one must never interfere in a brotherly squabble.Chances are they unite and treat you as an outsider and even abuse you for instigating enmity.One must always give a chance to such reversal of mindset.

Rama spared Vali for the first time to bring such reversal of mindset towards his brother.

2. Why did he kill Vaali?

Vali had taken away wealth ,wife and belongings of his brother without any fault of his. So he was liable for punishment. Ram was a Kshatriya Chakravarti King and he had moral right [as a duty] to end Vaali's life .

3. Why did he kill from behind and not in a straight war.

what Vali had done ,renders him into the category of Mrugas[animals] , Kings don't wage war against animals , they hunt them or kill them as a disturbance for forest life.

Tatva:

Vali was Indra , he had natural Bhakti towards Rama ,  more than Sugreeva. Had Rama befronted him, he would have immediately asked forgivance and Rama would be compelled to leave him alive.

But crime of Vali was he had taken birth to serve Rama and in the flow of arrogance of power and might due to boons and strength , he forgot his duty [purpose of Birth] and befriended Ravana. Also he hurt Sugreeva [a devotee] , More importantly He was standing in a camp against Hanuman. Sugreeva on the contrary had befriended Hanuman and was under his guidance.

God only sides with the one who sides with Hanuman[Vayu]. HE does not prefer to see the face of those who go against Hanuman, even if they are his devotees]. [thus he kills  Vali from behind to show going against Hanuman is unpardonable ].

[same Vali becomes Arjuna and sides with Bheema , Sugreeva becomes Karna goes against Bheema] Krishna ignores Karna and takes Arjuna very close.

Those who pray Lord Vishnu without Praying Vayu [hanuman] , God does not give any fruits ,however hard and devotionally one prays ,its of no use . God does not appear before them [like vali] and finishes them off from behind.

If you Pray Hanuman along with Vishnu only then you get your wishes fulfilled like Sugreeva and Arjuna].

Lord's arrows are nothing but Vayu himself. When Arrows pierce heart of Vali[ Vayu enters his heart] , he gets knowledge  , asks forgiveness to lord and Rama offers to give him back his life. But Vali refuses because he does not want to let go the chance of dying in the hands of Rama [which ensures Moksha].

Thus Vaali surrenders all his beloved things to the lords' feet according to the dictum " daraan sutaan priyaan ....nivedayet...."

This is what is known as Srikrishnarpanamastu .

Aitereyopanishat

Once King Visala and his wife Itara devi performed penace to get a Son. Lord Narayana revealed himself as their son. He once went to a yagna where devatas and chaturmukha bramha were presiding. These devatas could not bear the lustre of Lord Narayana ,chaturmukha Bramha offered prayers to the son of Itara , He enabled them to see him.They all became his devotees. As greats like Ramadevi,Bramha,Indra,devatas became his dasa[devotees] He came to be known as Mahidasa [mahin: dasa: asyeti  Mahidasa:] He then preached Aitereya hymns to all of them .

Thus Aitereya devata is Mahidasa ,rishi is also mahidasa,this is part of ashvalayan shakha of Rigved ,a chapter2 and3 of Aitereya aranyaka is upanishat. It conveys Supreme Glory of Vishnu ,hence is known as Mahavibhuti.

1. Hari:OM  Sankarshana is the path ,Anirudha is karma, Vasudev is Bramha ,Pradyumna is Satya.
2. One must not abandon Him ,[one must not transgress Truth ,as god himself is truth that leads to HIM].
3. This answers the question as to
1. why truth should be followed in this world ,
2. why cannot we live as we feel like  ,
3. why are there path of spirituality ,
4. what it leads to ,
5. who has put all these restrictions?
4. This also specially shows vedas are theistic.
5. Three transgress HIM
1. Pishachas[those who roam in Akasha]
2. Rakshasas[Those who eat human flesh]
3. Asuras [ among dharma gyan vairagya and aishwarya ,these have only aishwarya]
6. Three did not transgress
1. Manushyottama
2. Rishis
3. Devatas
7. They meditated on HIM as
1. in Arka
2. in Brihat
3. Pavamana
8. Men prayed through Agni
9. Rishis prayed God as present in Aditya
10. Devatas in vayu and Dishas[all quarters].

Narayana is Supreme . Madhvacharya had a special liking to this Upanishad which can be seen from that fact that

• He taught this upanishat to his Guru as Guru Dakshina
• He gave a special discourse on this in eminent sabhas
• His last discourse before retiring to Himalayas was on Aitereya Upanishat which was attended by Devatas  in Ananteshwar temple UDIPI.

Sundarkand-3

In mahabharath ,udyog parva is the essence, similarly in Ramayana,sundarkanda is the essence.

• In udyog parva,to get back the RajyaLakshmi of Pandavas shri Krishna sets towards Hastinapur
• In Ramayana ,to get back Shri Lakshmi Of Rama , Hanuman sets on for Lanka.
• Suyodhan tries to bind Shri Krishna ,Ravan tries to Bind hanuman.
• SriKrishna , speaks high of pandavas, hanuman speaks high of Rama.
• Not heeding to advice suyodhana perishes, Not heeding to advice Ravan perishes.
• Vidura sides with Krishna leaving Suyodhana  , Vibheeshana leaves Ravan and joins hanuman(Both names start with Vi,emphasising absence of vikaara)
• Krishna shows Vishvaroopa, hanuman sets on fire entire Lanka

Sundarkand-1

Sundarkand is the tale of heroics of Shri Hanuman .

• Jumping across the ocean,
• rising of Mainak mountain,
• Surasa episode,
• Simhika slaughter,
• Defeat of Lankini,
• Entering Lanka
• Seeing Seetaakruti in Ashok vana
• offering the ring of Shri Rama

Every incident is beautiful(Sundar) ,Hanuman is also sunda (complete with 32 lakshana) ,His heroics are sundar,The whole surrounding (Lanka) was sundar, Ram is absolutely sundar (without a second to HIM),Sitadevi is Lokottar sundari, The presentation of the episode is also Sundar in Ramayana . Hence everything being Sundar ,this is SundarKanda (aptly named).
