Brahman's omnipresence after cosmic dissolution
From the Bhakti List Archives
• August 23, 2002
asmad sarva-gurubhya: nama: SrI-vishNave nama: Dear Members, Wondering as to how the folowing descriptions of the brahman (ie SrIman-nArAyaNa) relate to one another: a) antaryAmi-tva (pervasiveness, a.k.a svarUpa-vyApti) b) vibhu-tva (omnipresence) c) ananta-tva (spatial, temporal & material transcendence) d) satya-tva (immutability) Trying to understand these properties in the following states: 1) praLaya-daSa (ie the material universe in its dissovled state) 2) during jagat-sRshTi (cosmos regeneration after dissolution) Question: q1) Does only matter, but not Space (deSa) collapse during praLaya? That way the brahman as vibhu does not need to shrink down and satya-tvam & ananta-tva remain valid. q2) Does 'vibhu-tva' go by the name 'antaryAmi-tva' when we speak of the brahman in relation to jIva-s or matter ?
