PRAKRITI(FEMALE), PURUSHA(MALE) ARE TWO
ASPECTS IN WHICH PRAKRITI IS SUPPORTED,
DEPENDS ON ONE PURUSHA !
THIS SUBJECT SEEMS TO BE BASED ON SANKHYA
PHILOSOPHY ENUMERATED BY YOGIC SAGE KAPILA.
THE CREATIVE PROCESS(SRISTI) BEGINS WHEN
PURUSHA JOINS PRAKRITI AND BECOMES
ESTABLISHED IN IT. OUT OF THIS PROCESS EVOLVES
24 PRINCIPLES AS SHOWN IN THE CHART BELOW.
 |
| 24 principles of Sankhya Philosophy |
MERGES BACK INTO PURUSHA ON DISSOLUTION.
THEN PURUSHA ALONE REMAINS.
IF PURUSHA IS ADDED NUMBER OF PRINCIPLES
BECOME 25.
PURUSHA & PRAKRITI TOGETHER GIVE RISE TO
'MAHAT' TATTVA WHICH IS COSMIC INTELLIGENCE.
THERE IS A SEPARATE CHAPTER --
'PURUSHA LAKSHANA PRAKARANA' WHICH WILL
BE OUR NEXT POSTING. HENCE PLEASE READ
BOTH THE POSTINGS TOGETHER, TO HAVE BETTER
UNDERSTANDING.

PRAKRITI(FEMALE) , PURUSHA(MALE) ASPECTS
OF ONE PURUSHA --
Parameshwara teaching Shanmuga
'Jnana Sindhu' writings of great CHIDANANDA AVADHUTHA
of very high spiritual level based on VEDANTHA
(UPANISHATHS). He had given the copy of the book to the
parents of a future Avadhutha even before the baby was
born, telling parents Goddess will take birth as their son &
to give the book to the boy when he would be twelve
year old, who is destined to become an Avadhutha by name

to give the book to the boy when he would be twelve
year old, who is destined to become an Avadhutha by name
AJATHA NAGALINGA SWAMY at NAVALAGUNDHA
in north Karnataka.
Wonder struck by SHANMUKHA'S supreme Sad-Bhakti
HARA told as follows --
My Son ! for your sake, now I shall tell you behavior of
PRAKRITI & valor(parakrama) of PURUSHA, hear with
concentration carefully.
to Mula-Prakriti by folding hands.That Prakriti does prayer
to Purusha. Prakriti is the original cause for everything
Prakriti which is part of MAHAT tattva(Great One) & other
components(see diagram below) after dissolving(laya) in
Prakriti gets dissolved in Purusha & then Purusha alone
remains.
Just like 'Atti' tree is having many fruits, in Mula-Prakriti
innumerable universes are seen. This prakriti is of two
types --
1) Godly Nature(Deiva Prakriti)
2) Demon Nature(Asura Prakriti)
1) Godly Nature Characteristics(Deiva Prakriti Lakshanas) --
Charity, yajna(offerings to fire),meditation,silence(mouna),
control of external body parts, knowledge, fearless, purity,
greatness, lessons of vedas, concentration on God,
forgiveness,happiness, truth, non-violence, non-anger, peace,
dispassion,loving, fruit of actions, non-possessive, great
happiness, kindness, intelligence, boldness, determination,
pure knowledge of what is real,unreal(shuddha-viveka),
good behavior (of sathvic person), breath control(pranayama),
right duration of sleep, right amount of food, bhakthi,
confidence.
2) Demon Nature Characteristics(Asura Prakrithi Lakshana) --
Enmity, showiness due to ego, anger, unhappiness, bad
people, sinful thinking, head weight, non-kindness, ego of
power, hurting, self pride, shame, bad qualities,thamasa
gunas, defects, thinking high of oneself due to ego(darpa),
bad worries, desire, actions with desire,desire to achieve,
possess, thoughtless actions, non-charity, cheating,troubling
others, violence to kill, giving problems, changing mind often,
excess sleep,forgetfulness, lust, intellect-less, doubtfulness,
unsuccessful, laziness, ego.
One who is part of Deiva Prakriti(Divine nature) has patience,
kindness, awareness, cleanliness, purity & has Brahman
mental make up(Bhava), has got rid of Jeeva bhava(mental
make up), without ego of self pride(abhimana), becomes
Jeevanmuktha ie, liberated while living !
One who is a part of Asura Prakriti(Demon nature) has false
pride, ego of self pride(abhimana),three types of pains
(thapa thraya), jeeva thraya(Vishva,Teijasa,Prajna),
Bandha thraya(three types of bondage),due to these
ignorance of darkness,drowning in them by desire,sorrow,
he will wander to Swarga(Heaven) & Naraka(Hell) repeatedly.
All of Prakriti being in Athma, forgetting I myself is that Athma,
thinking I am man is Demon(Asura) Prakriti.
Being witness to everything, being auspicious in everything,
being pure minded, thinking I am Athma without beginning,
or end(Nithyathma) is Deiva Prakriti(Divine Nature).
Deiva Prakriti(Divine Nature) leads to Liberation(Moksha).
Demon(Asura) Prakriti leads to attachment to family. Among
these two, Deiva Prakriti(Divine Nature) is superior, hence
you become that.
In this world, creation(sristi) takes place by these two Prakritis.
Just as Rahu envelops Sun, Paramathma(God) is blocked by
Prakriti. Deiva Prakriti(Divine Nature) shows Athma. Demon
(Asura) Prakriti wouldn't show Athma. Some people say this
Sristi(creation) took place through Manmatha. Jnanis(people
with knowledge) say creation took place by Ishwara. Sristi
takes place by Ishwara's power path through Manmatha
(Kama), Kama by himself has no power of creation. Starting
from four faced Brahma up to smallest ant, birth,death of all
living beings are controlled by Prakriti. In a stone chain, how
thread holds all the stones,same way, Purusha pervades all
the creation.
By bright Sunlight of noon,just as mirage is seen,same way
in the aura of Divine Purusha form of world as Prakriti is seen.
Like magic(Indra Jala) Prakriti is seen as Real(Sathya),
however on enquiry,analysis it is seen that everything is Light
(Thejas) of Brahman & nothing else.
Birth,death,actions,talk etc. which are seen with form are all
Prakriti, which is supported by Purusha. Just as a needle
moves by the power of magnet, by the support of Purusha,
Prakriti is moving. Prakriti is like water mirage, Purusha is like
bright light emitting, Sun. Vedas proclaim Prakriti as unreal
(Asathya). In atom as atom, in Mahat(Great-one) as Mahat,
in all tattvas, in all living beings, Purusha is residing in them
taking various forms. Same one Akasha, is seen as reflections
in various shapes of vessels containing water, as different
from one another, Purusha is seen in all forms(bodies) of
beings as witness.
From the smallest egg of creation(pindanda) to biggest egg
of creation -- vast universe(Brahmanda) & resulting Prakriti,
which gives rise to happiness,sorrow etc. have no relationship
with Purusha. Purusha is conscious, whole support
(chethanathmaka) to Prakriti & witness to Prana,Manas,Buddi.
Just like oil in sesame(till) seeds, butter in milk, fire in wood,
Athma is in Prakriti. Without knowing this, those who are
having Demon(Asura) nature(Prakriti), become bad to worst.
Purusha may look weak due to limitation of Maya, but in reality
he is not at all influenced by it. Purusha's aura brightness is
so high that, just by thought of a portion of that, Sun,Moon
shine brightly. Birth & death are for body & not for Athma.
Understanding Prakriti, purusha characteristics,abide in me.
If you are of Deiva Prakriti(Divine Nature) you become Athma
only, you need not have any doubt on that. Think that you are
Purusha. understanding this jnana, you will become like me
and will be witness to everything. This knowledge should not
be told to those who tell shastra(scriptural saying) wrongly &
who wrongly argue that there is no liberation for Jeeva.When
Hara told this to Karthikeya, he became full of happiness &
started to pray Shiva's feet.
