Lord Narayana has to be meditated by manushyas as satya, gnyan , anand atma[ paripoorna] ;the four qualities , by devatas as many as qualities and by bramha infinitely through jignyasa through shravan manan dhyana . By paroksha dhyan upasana , Lord blesses with aparoksha .
Muktiyogya [ those eligible for moksha ] fall into five categories :
When these souls continuously meditate the bimba , such upasana results into disintegration of lingadeha from swaroop deha just as skin of the grain comes off the grain , rsulting in the manifesttion of swaroop ananda[ happiness inherent]
As each soul is unique and different and full of happiness , a vichitra happiness is manifested by the grace of God Narayana , this knowledge I attribute to the LORD [ samarpan ]
Linga deha has 16 kala [ dashendriya 10 , panchtanmatra 5,manas 1] ,anulingasharira , thereafter mahatatva sharira . This is covered by ahankaratmak anirudhdha sharira . Such a linga deha is beginingless . Jeeva has seven layers ;
These seven forces in transition to become a sthula deha [ outer body].
Anirudhdha deha is made up of ahankar and has presence of daitya[demons] in it to inspire the sins in us . These demons' activities do not reach mahatatva and linga deha and for this it is always protected by Lord Narayana in the form "Trivrat" till the disintegration of linga deha .

A Chetan [sentient] being has Gyan ichcha and Kriya . The kriya Independent of others' ichcha can be seen in Ishwar[ paramatma] alone .
But the knowledge that ' i am doing , i am understanding , i am desiring ' such a feeling and its accomplishment is also seen in jeeva ., thus gyan ichcha kriya is present in the jeeva also.
But When Lord [paramatma] ignites knowledge and then plants a desire and then gives activity[ prayatna] to jeeva[atma] only then a work [karma ] is accomplished by Atma . This is universally seen and observed and experienced . Thus this work is not accomplished independently by Jeeva . Hence jeeva's ability [ swatantrya] to accomplish a task is a grant of independence by Lord . Not self acquired or resident independence . Even his activity is not under his control .

The Rajhamsa is a bird , which has a very peculiar quality rejecting the impure and accepting the only pure. For example if milk mixed with water is given to it , it drinks the milk and water filters out through its ears [ this is a popular thought although not witnessed in recent times as such birds are extinct now a days].
SImilarly in this world our karma is like a milk mixed with water ,
The Yogi who can absorb the paramatma tatva and leaves out the d tatva like Hansakshir nyaya is entitled to be known as PARAMHANSA .Such people do not have any karma lepa and are aparokshagyanis . ONly such people should ascend the peeth for sanyansa ,then they can be rightly called , VEdanta samrajya Chakravarti
Mumukshus resort to the practise of Yogashastra to achieve special abilities and gradually Moksha .One who practises yoga he is relieved of all sins day by day .ChittavruttiNIrodha ,this type of yoga enables one to achieve dhyan of Lord Narayan even amidst daily chores of life.

Bimba is the God present in our heart . The jeeva is Pratibimba. Jeeva is shodashakala gynamaya swaroop deha . The one who resides inside the swaroopa as Paramatma is Bimba moorthy Narsimha. He is like the string that supports the flowers in a garland. He is like a fragrance in a flower He supports the entire universe and present in all the jeeva.
Bimba murthy of Ganesh will be like that of Elephant head [Vishwambhar] .Bimba moorthy of Sesha will be like that 1000 hood Sarpa.Similarly for Garuda it will be like Bird. So God exists everywhere in different forms. Our bimba will be according to our swaroopa in Mukti as per our Yogyata . Though a serpent or animal faced BImba we can still be in a human form now.
Only nija swa atma guru can only give us a the real bimba dhyana , After this upadesha Bimbopasana starts and after many years of Bimbopasana Aparoksha is obtained.
Aparoksha entitles one to see everywhere God , Every human that see , we see the bimba performing in him and not the jeeva. Thus it is a state of very high electic happiness as we see Lord act everywhere and there is no lepa .

What's the use of study of Shastras again & again ? Passionate devotion is a wasteful exercise!!
Till we become a slave to our Guru , mukti is always a distant dream !!!
Mukti can only be had by reaching the abode of Purandar vittala [the one who has bestowed boons on Narada ] by enslaving oneself to the Great Guru Madhvacharya [MukhyaPrana].

Sri Raghvavendra swamy of Mantralayam is still in yogic asampragyat samadhi in the Vrundavana at Mantralayam.[it means he is still inside the Vrundavan at the temple.] He would be there till 700 years from the day he entered the Vrundavana. Why is he still living in a mortal form on the earth ? what makes him bound in the Brundavana? Why has he not left to the celestial abode immediately?

God is alone independent,rest all are dependent on him .The does Jeeva has any independence towards action? if no then why is there [vidhi nishedh] rules and Do's and Don't's ? For whom are they intended to? If jeeva is not independent in doing a karma ,then how can he be entitled to punishments and rewards of the karma?
The Vidhi nishedh's in Vedas are for Jeeva only because God cannot be subjected to restriction of Do's And Don't's , but they are meant for the soul ,who has to plan his Act accordingly. Where from this act is performed. This is known as Datta Swatantra . The independence given as adoption from the Lord. This Independence is only in three arenas as 1. Gyana 2. Ichcha 3 Kriya [prayatna]
So the soul can only desire as per his accumulated Knowledge and try [prayatna]. His act is actually carried out by tatva devatas in accordance with poorva karma and prayatna. He is given fruits also by these depending on the outcome carried out by Lord.
Here Jeeva wishes also by the inspiration of God ,which is Datta and has degrees of freedom embedded into it. This degrees of freedom varies with varied people . Thus a King has more freedom than a commoner by the will of the GOD. Thus jeeva performs only through desire and efforts in accordance with his limited knowledge ,yet when results appear he attributes them to the self and thus is punished or rewarded.
One who understands the Dattaswatantrya and attributes his success and failure to lord as present in Tattva devatas only gets aparoksha Gyana.

Let me elaborate the last point.
But on the Whole It is only the Narayana who does all the action for the benefit of Jeeva , being inside and outside jeeva (body,and bramhanda) and gives him immense bliss as MOKSHA.
So what does the jeeva do ? if he is not the doer then why is he made to suffer the consequences of karma ? Finally does jeeva do anything apart from being mere spectator?
All this in the next post JeevKartrutva Vichara.

Guru is the one who shows us the way to God. Guru must be full of enthusiasm to teach to a worthy student. He should not postpone a learning session , he should not divert an issue out of ignorance. He should not feign ignorance on critical topics. He should not delay the answer to inquisitive question.
When both guru and God approach ,it is better to salute guru first , since if God is angry on us Guru can bring him back for us. But if guru is angry , even God does not help.
There are twelve gurus, Laxmi Narayana, Bramha Saraswati,Vayu Bharathi, Vedvyasa , Srimadanandathirtha, Moolaguru,devguru,adiguru,paramguru,atmaguru,Mata,Pita,swaguru.
others are vidyagurus who happen to teach us on certain occassions like school. All of these are important and respectful. A propitiation to all these before start of any new learning definitely gives success.

God is embodiment of only auspicious qualities. His body is made of joy and knowledge (gnyanandmaya deha). When someone hates him ,he begets unhappiness.[you hate happiness so,you must be unhappy]. There are nine types hate that a soul undertakes
any bhakti mixed with these above feelings does not bring results.When such hate is absent completely , it is called Amalabhakti. Devatas have by nature amala bhakti. Amalabhakti leads to aparoksha gyana.

Shravana manana Dhyana definitely increases Gyana.
Gyana is of many types viz
Let us understand each one by one
Lets take example , you buy a tv in your house.
You do it but are unsucessful you have mishrita gyana , you think this all tv thing is foolishness .bhrama
Neighbour's envy owner's pride.Look at this invention , TV ,it is for all of us to see ,
What we have got to to do with your shastra, can you show anything like this ,our sceintific bend of mind is supreme, throw away your traditional wisdom (vipareet -dogmatism) get modern and enjoy.
Somebody has to transmit this input. Input gets transformed from one form to another. Natural elements like crystals , semiconductors ,other materials are used to get this transformation , after this it is carried(transmitted) from one place to other and is converted back to original image again with some transducers.(a natural element).
Everything is happening due to this naturally available elements , not by any magic, and who has created these natural elements , who makes them exhibit these qualities.GOD . God does things in an organised manner . Anything that is organised is shastra science.
Yathartha gyana.
God chooses to exhibit one particular type of conversion in one era and others in another era hence sceince changes from era to era. Like astras( bramhastra , agneyastra etc) are not effective in this era ,simply it is not operative ,sometimes doubting whether it existed.
Similarly valves are not seen anymore .slowly semiconductors will be outdated ,bionics may take over , but what remains same is Lords' act in these materials, which he reveals from time to time. Call it great Tantra .
Vigyana is about tantra behind the yantra.
Lets take a \tv mechanic . Whence you have a problem , usually mechanic will check step by step and after long time declare what is wrong and may not be able to repair without any proper instruments.
Pragyan man will give a look at the TV and say yeah here's the problem, he effortlessly puts it right . Genius .\ its always difficult to say how genius works.
When you have pragyan about everything, Why talk only of TV , there is computer,
Satellite, law, arts, cricket, medicine., commerce, dance,fight,music,list is endless…
Can you master all this , well paroksha means that.
When you have paroksha you still don't know the real. What is it, Soul has two curtains(acchadika) , one on itself, one between itself and GOD ) . When the first one is removed you are a parokshi , when the second one is removed you are aparokshgnyani. You see GOD everywhere in everything .
