Namaste Shri V. Subrahmanian

Some practical comments on this line of inquiry:

"The kAryabrahma loka is the abode which can be given the name of
Kailasa/Vaikuntha where the upAsya Shiva/Vishnu resides. The sAyujya of the
upasaka with that upAsya happens in that loka alone."
Comment: This should be enough for here, for now and foreseeable future.

"In Mahapralaya the loka resolves and while Hiranyagarbha moves on to attain 
videha kaivalya, the Shiva/Vishnu personality (who is the nitya siddha Ishwara) 
remains over.  The name/form to this nitya siddha Ishwara is optionally available
to the upAsaka on the basis of the shruti/puranas."
Comment: Why bother about this question now - cross the bridge when you get there.

"The aishwarya /bhoga the mukta jivas there share with Hiranyagarbha/Shiva/Vishnu 
excludes the power to create, sustain and dissolve the universe."
Comment: Why bother about this question now - find out the answer yourself when you get there.

With regards,
Shrinivas Gadkari
