Akaash

• There are two akaash 1.Bhutaakaash 2. Avyakta Akaasha.
• Bhutakaash is one of the panchabhutas and is within the bramhanda.
• Avyakta akaash is outside the boundary or periphery of bramhanda
• Bhutaakaash is presided by Ganapati , Brihaspati and vasudeva.
• Avyaktaakash is presided by Laxmi devi and Narayana.
• Bhutaakaash  is primarily responsible for support of the lokas.
• Vasudeva in akaash supports the lokas.
• Bhutakaash manifests in shabda .
• Shabda exhibits the Akshara
• These also exist in shrotrendriya
• Both akaash and shabda are present in the ear.
• Akaash upachayen Shabdotpatti [ movement/disturbance in space gives rise to sound]
• Thus Blessings of Ganapathy is neccessary to success in study of shabdashatra.
• Ganapati can also be appeased by meditating in the akaash linga ie ,space between eyebrows and throat , or just above the jivhamula.
• Mind is also made of akaash
• Akaash takes the shape that which is rendered to it.
• Thus thoughts are modifications or impressions on  akaash
• Thus there can be as many thoughts as possible
• The thoughts can change as quickly as possible
• If for any reason akaash in the mind is stabda [still] the last impression becomes stagnant in the mind and man becomes unrealistic.[Manoroga]
• Thus for a good mind and sound study let us all pray Ganapathy antargata mukhyapranantargata Vishwambhar moorthy .

This world is real.

This world created by God is real. the experience of each of us stands testimony to us.This experience cannot be false. The non existence of world is never experienced. Neither can be seen its unreal nature.

If experiences of the soul in this real world are false and unreal then the thought to come out of this unreal to some imaginary real should also be unreal.

Because , such thoughts have occurred here in this world, these thoughts should also be unreal .

How can there be pursuit of the real from a unreal thoughts?

The world, if it is maya [unreal] , whom is it binding?

is the agent[soul], it is binding, real? If it is real then how a real entity is bound by unreal?

If there is only one [soul/Bramha] , then who is Bramha?

Is this Bramha all knowing or ignorant?

If he is all knowing then why he has to make efforts to come out of ignorance?[ if at all , all souls are one and equivalent to Bramha]

Thus soul cannot be equal to Bramha for he has to come out of ignorance . Paramatma [Bramha ]is all knowing and creator distinctly different from Atma.

There is no equality [eikya] between Parmatma and Atma.

Soul can be subjected to maya and creation is a chance for him to come out of this to attain moksha.

Even in this case also his subjection to maya and subsequent sufferings are real [vexed with it ,he makes an attempt for Moksha].

if it is unreal then, his getting vexed and efforts to attain moksha will also be unreal .why would one make a unreal efforts to attain happiness.

If his efforts are unreal and his sins in maya are also unreal then words of Veda to prohibit sins and encourage Merits [punya] will also become false and unreal.[ also meaningless].

Selectively declaring few verses as right and real and others as unreal also renders Vedas meaningless.

Thus Vedas rightly declares World is real ,World is real, World is real.

Vishnu is the only God ,neither equal or greater than HIM.

all others are souls[atman/jeevas] distinctly different from him and dependent on him.

What is universe according to Vedas;

Vyam Vedvyasaya Namaha

universe created by God consists of fourteen worlds.

1.satyaloka 2.tapoloka 3.janolok 4.maharloka 5.swargaloka 6.bhuvarloka 7.bhuloka 8.atal 9.vital 10.sutal 11.talatal 12mahatal 13.rasatal 14.patal.

It consists of souls (jivas) various types of species living in these worlds.

jada-various types of mountains rivers , plains ,desert, oceans ,space, stars, planets ,houses, mansions, palaces, gardens, markets ,utensils ,minerals, light, water, air, soil etc

Narayana(GOD) rules and regulates the entire universe.

satyaloka tapoloka janoloka are ruled by chaturmukha Bramha.

People here do not have to physically eat or sense to satisfy themselves .

Maharloka is ruled by Shiva . Mount kailash is present in this loka.

Swarga is ruled by Indra in Amravati capital. here we can find heavens and apsaras entertaining meritorious.

Bhuvarloka consists of stars with Dhruva as pivot . Various planets and zodiac find their place in this loka. Also many Gandharva , vidhyadhars , yaksha have floating cities in this loka. they are illuminated brightly and happy land.

Bhuloka consists of many vast lands and our earth(prithvi) is just a small portion of this loka. earlier kings ruled entire Bhuloka not just prithvi.

Atal etc till rasatal are inhabited by nagalokas , rakshasas and daityas. they contain enormous wealth. There is no sunshine in these worlds. People here have bright light emanating from them to see around.Most of them have only water base below oceans( not the oceans of prithvi). each is ruled by Maya , vasuki ,karkotak,etc

sutal is ruled by Raja bali.

Patal has shesha carrying entire universe on its head which is akin to a mustard on our head. so huge is shesha. this shesha is carried by lord vayu on the edge of his tail . in turn vayu is resting on a great tortoise namely \kurma. lord himself.

This universe is 100 crore yojana in width. one yojana is eight miles .

Difference exists between jivas and jada.

Difference exists between jivas and other jivas ( among themselves)

Difference exists between jadas and other jada(among themselves)

God Ishvara (Narayana) is diffrent from jivas

Difference exists between Isha and jada

hence there is five fold difference it is beginingless.

because there is five(panch) differences seen again & again everywhere , this world is known as Pra-panch.This difference is real. Only ignorant feel otherwise.

in the next post we shall see why there is evil in this world?
