Respected Bhagavtha Bandhus,

The Vibuthis are 2 in number namely the Leela Vibuthi & the Nitya Vibuthi

Leela Vibuthi (Material world):-

The area which has no lower boundary is subject to transformation and mixture of three gunas. These are subject to leela’s of EmpeurmAn namely His creation, sustenance and destruction. in this process He also takes incarnations, gives sasthrams and also deputes Azwars & Acharyas. However, this vibhuthi, since, it is mixture of the guaAs is under control of sensory organs and also the knowledge is limited. Therefore, the desires and lust override knowledge and aim to attain salvation.

Nithya Vibuthi (Sri Vaikuntam):-

In sharp contrast, the area which has no upper boundary is the NIthya vibHuthi which is permanent and the Lord rests in the Supreme Divya kshetram over there. It is only of sattvam or the purest of attributes and therefore the aim there is to serve the Lord and there is no negative qualities over there.


Lord Ranganatha is the supreme lord of Leela Vibuthi & Nithya Vibuthi, and the only supreme who has the power to grant moksha to any soul, and he passed/granted on this “power” only to Swamy Ramanauja giving him the title “Udayavar” meaning one who owns the possession of both these vibuthis and greatness of this Swamy is such that, any one who surrenders to this acharyan’s lotus feet,is sure to be cleansed of their sins and will be granted moksha.

(It may be noted that Kanchi Deva Perumal has reinforced this authority by advising Thirukkachi Nambigal, that moksham for nambigal is due to Ramanuja sammandham)

All chetanas take refuge in "Yathiraja Padhuka"
