SVS12

5. OM BHOOTHAKRUTE NAMA:
Creates all by His divine sankalpam
6. OM BHOOTHA BRUTE NAMA:
Supporting all His creations.
7. OM BHAVAAYA NAMA:
All are His belongings.
Carnatic Music Trinity - Thyagaraja Swami, Muthuswami Dikshitar and Shyama Shatri- were all born on the shores of Kaveri. Today's [27th February 2008] lecture is from the sannidhi of Sri Pattabhi Rama in Pudu agraharam, which has been visited by Thyaga Brahmam and Muthuswami Dikshitar. We will see three names together today. Earlier we saw He is the Lord in the past, present and future. Bhoohkrut means He is the creator of the Universe and all in it. Bhoothabrut, denotes He sustains this Universe and all in it. Bhava means He is inseparable from all His creations. So, He creates, sustains and remains part of everything. Insect spider secretes a liquid and spins a web to catch other insects. Later, it swallows back this silky web. Similarly the Lord, by His divine sankalpa, creates the Universe and later, during pralayam, swallows and protects the entire Universe in His stomach. This is how Upanishads say of the Lord. After creation, He sustains everything. One is by anupravesam or by being the soul in all. Another is to protect them externally, as seen in Sri Varaha avatar or Sri Koorma avatar or as Adisesha. He is inseparable from everything, just like we can not separate whiteness from milk. In Bhagavad Gita, He says that just like a thread supports many pearls in a necklace, He is in all. We see the necklace and the individual pearls, but we do not see the thread inside supporting. Similarly, He supports everyone. Prathuk means separable and aprathuk means inseparable. So He is in all by this aprathuk siddhantham or the quality of inseparableness. There is nothing which He did not create, He did not sustain and in which He remains separable.
