HE IS THE DESTRACTOR ; HE IS THE SAVIOUR

A shrewd path of devotion towards deities with full awareness of the Ultimate Truth and Realisation of the Formless Supreme Consciousness termed as the "Almighty" - A 'Bhakti en route Jnana' Approach is an ideal sadhana indeed! This is what we come across in the sankeertana "Itara Memiyu Ledu Eraga Minte Kani" by the great  poet-savant, Annamacharya.

'Param Atma ' - The Supreme Consciousness : If 'this' is known nothing else is there to be sought after. 'This' is eulogised by all faiths in this world as The Almighty, in other words. And this Almighty has taken many forms and names in accordance of the imagination and satisfaction of different religions in different regions of this globe. The Cause of the creation has manifested in the form of actions also like Wealth, Deities, Parents, Family raising, The Individual souls, The Liberator - All are manifest form of the un-manifest Almighty. If this source of all action is understood why one should be worried about any thing. Since one's actions emanate from one's mind which in turn is subtle manifestation of the Almighty only. Naturally it's appropriate to lean on only one ultimately, that is, the Almighty.- the root cause of all actlions, 'chaitanya swarupa'.

'Who is the one giving the facility and comfort in the form of wealth with the people? It's He. Who is taking care of us in the form of protecting divine every moment - It's He. In the form of deity of worship  He is receiving our prayers.

'Who is patiently bearing us in womb in the role of mother? - It's He. Who is giving us birth and rearing us as father? It's He. Hence we venerate that Almighty. Not only this, He is satisfying in the role of an amorous wife too. In the form of the children, He is passing on our heredity. In this way He is with us in every form of relation. He is in the form of Sri Hari present in the palms receiving prayers from us. (Karagre Vasate Lakshmi, Kara Madhye Saraswati, Kara Mule Tu Govinda, Prabhate Kara Darshanam) - At the tip of the palm dwells Sri Lakshmi; In the middle of the palm, Saraswati and at the base of the palm dwells Govinda; Hence I see my palms in veneration of these Gods first, as I open my eyes at day break.

'He is the manifestation of this physical body . He is all experiences of this body. He is in these mundane attachments. Ultimately He Himself is the one who forms detachments in us about these mundane things and  becomes our Liberator, Saviour from these Bondages.  Hence it is He on whom one has to have full faith and confidence.'

As one takes to heart the essence of this sankeertana, it  generates  better toleration about all faiths leading towards the Universal Oneness !
