Balarama and Madhurya Rasam

From the Bhakti List Archives

V. Sadagopan • April 8, 1996 


Dear Jaganath: Among the three caregories 
of Jivans(Bhaddha, Mukta and Nitya),
Nitya  or Nitya Suri or Divya Suri 
or Sadhya Deva: is the one , who never ever 
was subject to karmas or held in its Bondage
like Bhaddha or Muktha Jivan.Nityas 
are the fortunate ones , who exist forever as
free souls inn the eternal transcendental 
realm of Sri Vaikuntam. Garuda , Anantha 
and Vishvaksena are three examples. Brahma Tantra 
Swatnatra Swami includes Azhwaaras and Acharyaals in the 
Divya Suri stotram . In his first sloka ,he 
describes Sriman Narayana in the company 
of Nitya Suris this way :
SRIMADH VEDANTHA STHAPANAA NITYA DIKSHITAM
SRIMAN nARAAYANMA VANDEH BHANTHAM SURI GURU UTTAMAI:

( I SLAUTE SRIMAN NARAYANA ,WHO IS FOREVER
DETERMINED TO ESTABLISH THE GEUINE PRINCIPLES 
OF VEDANTHA ON EARTH AND  WHO SHINES IN THE MIDST 
OF LIBERATED SOULS AND WORTHY PERCEPTORS)

tHEN HE GOES ON TO SALUTE FROM POIGAI AZHWAAR 
TO THIRUMANGAI.

IN THE SECOND SLOKA , HE STATES IN THE LATTER HALF:

DWAAPAREH PANCHAJANYAAMSAM SAROYOGINAMAASRAYEH (POYGAI)

NITYA SURIS AND MUKTAS COME DOWN ON SPECIFIC
MISIONS OF THE LORD , BUT ARE NOT BOUND TO 
KARMAS LIKE A BHADDHA JIVAN DURING THEIR 
STAY ON EARTH.

In reply to Sreekrishna's answer to my question about Balarama, then
what is the definition of a Nitya Suri?

Jaganath.
