Dear members, I was reading the second chapter of Bhagavad gita (commentary by Srila Prabhupada). When explaining some of the slokas in that chapter, Srila Prabhupada states that the soul in atomic in nature. He further proceeds to say that both jivatma (which is atomic in nature) and Paramatma recide in our heart. What I could not understand was whether paramatma is also atomic in nature according to dvaitists. Moreover, The literal meaning of the slokas in the second chapter of bhagavad gita does not point towards the atomic nature of the soul. My questions are 1. What is the nature of soul according to the three main schools of thought? 2. What is the main difference in liberation according to the three schools? I am eagerly awaiting the response for these questions from the enlightened members of the list. Om namo narayanaya namaha. Sincerely Lakshmi Narasimhan S. ***************************************************************************** Srirama rama raamethi rame raame mano rame Sahasranama Thathulyam Rama Nama Varanane -------------Sri Vishnu Sahasranamam----------------------------------------- lsriniva@ddt.eng.uc.edu,lakshmi@sneezy.mie.uc.edu,spriniln@ucunix.san.uc.edu ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------------------------------------------------- *************************************************************************** Vanamali Gati Saarngee Changee chakreecha Nandaki Sriman NarayanoVishnur Vasudevobi Rakshatu ------Parayana Sloka in Vishnu Sahasranama----- Lakshmi N.
