SriRAma Jayam, SrimatE RAmAnujAya nama: Dear Ranganathan, I felt like responding to your mail quoting something from NDP. When you go by sruti,you are caught in a loop out of which you're not able to escape. Once, for an infinitesimal sec,I got attracted to sankara's philosophy but my dear RAmAnujA gripped me tightly. I personally don't agree to beginningless karmA/jIvA. It wasn't coexisting with God all the time! It must have come only after the creation. From NDP,I can quote off-handedly,Amalam AdipirAn:9 "Ala mA maratin ilai mEl...en nenjinaiyE". TiruppAN AzhwAr sang only on Azhagiya MaNavALan/Ranganatha. Kulashekharan's Tirumozhi:8:7 "Alin ilai bAlagaNAy anRu ulagam....ayoDthimanE tAlElO". What I infer from NDP is that PerumAL was there alone for some time. Then He created the universe. I don't think that HE created Himself,and karmA/jIvA simultaneously! If one can answer why HE did such such a thing,then it means that you know how HE thinks! GItAchAryan says nobody(means NOBODY)knows the secret of His birth. There are lots of people in scientific field who talk jargons so that others don't understand and also have a fear that they might be questioned!(that's why they use hi-fi words). May be you should put the question at the feet of Lord SriRanganatha Himself.
