Narayana -- He in whom all beings rest.

The philosophy of Sri Vaishnavism is known in Sanskrit as Visistadvaita. The term literally means ``non-duality of Reality as characterized by attributes.'' As a classical expression of Vedanta (the philosophical basis for much of Hinduism), the goal of Visistadvaita philosophy is to understand and experience Brahman, the One Blissful Reality who is the all-pervasive ground and sustenance of the universe -- the string upon whom all pearls are threaded. The ``pearls'', individual beings and matter, are inseparable attributes of the Supreme Person, modes of Its existence.

To the devout Sri Vaishnava, the religious concept of Brahman is best expressed by the term ``God''. Brahman is Infinite, not just in physical terms, but in metaphysical and qualitative terms. Brahman is the absolutely real abode of all consciousness. He is infinitely auspicious, infinitely blissful, supremely gracious, infinitely merciful, infinitely beautiful -- in fact, infinitely infinite. The relationship between God and the universe is one of love, as all this is but a conscious emanation from Him. We are to Him as a child is to a parent, as a friend is to a friend, and as a beloved is to a lover.

Brahman also stands in relation to the universe and the individual souls as the Self of each, providing the basis for their reality. As such, Brahman has matter and individual souls as His body, and is therefore the Supreme Being in whom all reality is comprehended. All that we see is but a spilling from the plenitude of His glorious, all-pervasive essence. This is why the favorite devotional name for God among Sri Vaishnavas is Narayana -- He in whom all beings rest.

Everything on the earth
in between, and above
is arising from one effulgent source.
If my thoughts, words, and deeds
reflected this complete understanding of unity,
I would be the peace I am seeking in this moment.
GAYATRI MANTRA

Translated by Donna Fahri.

God assumes an avatar for only one reason: Having surrendered
Himself to the bhakti (devotion) of those devotees who have intense
love for Him, God assumes whichever form the devotees wish for in
order to grant them Bliss. He then fulfills all the desires of the devotees.
In addition to this, He supresses His powers and behaves with the
devotees as son, or as an intimate companion, or as a friend or as
an relative. Because of this, a devotee may not maintain such a
protocol with God. Nonetheless, God showers His affection upon the
devotee in whichever manner he desires.
Lord Swaminarayan, Vachnamrutam Kariyani 5, 4th November 1820

I have incarnated myself on earth to eradicate the primordial ignorance
I-ness amd My-ness and liberate countless souls.

"I possess nothing, but that is the greatest possession in the world -- nothing -- because when you are nothing, a nobody, you are God. When you are nobody, for the first time the whole can flow through you."
