	Explanatory Notes (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Ishvara is the name given to the Supreme Absolute appearing to operate in the universe of dualistic experience and giving a value to all conceptions and perceptions within it.
		Ishvara's creation cannot be explained in terms of the different individuals....etc. The individuals are objects of perception and their reality is not established as long as they are not contained in a real conscious cause or perceiver.
		But when Ishvara is made a real link in the chain of causation we are constrained to make a distinction between this empirical conception we have of Brahman and Brahman as it is in itself If the causal notion is discarded, there is no objection to identifying Ishvara with Brahman.

	Ishvara
		Ishvara (à¤à¤¶à¥à¤µà¤° in devanagari script, pronunciation /Ä«:sh vÉrÉ/), also variously transliterated (romanized) as Äªshvara, Äªshwara, Äªshwar, ÄªÅvara, etc. (Sanskrit: "the Supreme Lord, and hence the Cosmic Controller") is a Hindu philosophical concept of God meaning that entity or the Supreme Being which is the lord and the ruler of everything.
		The concept of Ishvara was also used by Maharshi KaÅÄda, the Indian philosopher and founder of the school of Vaisheshika Philosophy, (in present day Afghanistan) in its meaning as the ultimate cause behind all causes.
		Ishvara is that entity, according to Vaisheshika, which controls the association of particles in the universe.

	Yoga Journal - Yoga Philosophy - The Practice of Surrender
		Ishvara pranidhana is a "big picture" yoga practice: It initiates a sacred shift of perspective that helps us to remember, align with, and receive the grace of being alive.
		Patanjali repeatedly highlights Ishvara pranidhana as one of the five niyamas, or inner practices, of the ashta-anga (eight-limbed) path (Chapter II, verse 32) and, along with discipline (tapas) and self-study (svadhyaya), as part of kriya yoga, the threefold yoga of action (II.1).
		For Patanjali, Ishvara pranidhana is a potent method for dissolving the endless agitations of the mind, and thus a means to the ultimate unified state of yoga: samadhi.

	THE PHILOSOPHY OF ISHVARA
		Ishvara is the highest manifestation of the Absolute Reality, or in other words, the highest possible reading of the Absolute by the human mind.
		Beginning with our bodies and going up to Ishvara, we may see that every object of our perception is this consciousness plus something else, whatever that may be; and this unavoidable mixture is what we ordinarily think of as reality.
		The idea of Ishvara covers all the ground ever denoted and connected by the word real, and Ishvara is as real as anything else in the universe; and after all, the word real means nothing more than what has now been pointed out.

	Chapter Nineteen: Creation as Explained in the Non-dualist Tantras
		Ishvara is Cit-Shakti, that is, Cit in association with the operating Prakriti as the efficient cause of the creation; and Maya-Shakti which means Maya as a Shakti that is in creative operation as the instrumental (Nimitta) and material (Upadana) cause of the universe.
		Ishvara or Ishvari is not Acit, which, as pure sattva-guna is only His or Her body.
		The Parabindu is the Ishvara of the Vedanta with Maya as His Upadhi.

	Ishvara and Brahman - Teachings of Swami Vivekananda by Topic- Frank Parlato Jr.
		"Ishvara is the sum total of individuals, yet He is an Individual, as the human body is a unit, of which each cell is an individual.
		The existence of Ishvara, therefore, depends on that of Jiva, as the body on the cell, and vice versa.
		Also, because, except on our earth, in all the higher spheres, the amount of good being vastly in excess of the amount of evil, the sum total (Ishvara) may be said to be all-good.

	Ishvara Puri
		With great humility, Ishvara introduced himself, saying, "I am a sudra of the lowest class." In this way, the jewel of learned scholars and the best of the renounced, Ishvara Puri, showed how humility is the true ornament of a Vaishnava.
		O Ishvara Puri, in the same way, I am praying for the dust of your lotus feet, knowing which I shall become free from the ocean of repeated birth and death and drink the nectar of divine rasa at the lotus feet of Sri Krishna.
		Ishvara Puri said, "I would consider myself extremely fortunate to accept some rice from your lotus hand." Mahaprabhu cooked with his own hands and with great care fed Sri Ishavara Puri.

	Ishvara Pranidhana: Centering on the Divine
		Continuing with our series on the eight limbs of yoga, we come to the fifth and final observance, or niyama, which is Ishvara Pranidhana, meaning centering on God.
		This ancient concept gives freedom for each individual, sect, culture and tradition to choose the name, quality and aspect of the divine most suitable for worship or devotion.
		Ishvara Pranidhana is the last in this series of the five yamas and five niyamas (restraints and observances): non-violence, truthfulness, non-stealing, sexual responsibility, non-greediness; and purity, contentment, austerity, self-study and Ishvara Pranidhana.

		Therefore He is called Ishvara, for Ishvara is the repository of aishvarya.
		The jives with their minds are identified with so many layers or sheaths of Reality, and from amidst the weave of these sheaths one cannot negate the filaments of the weave, nor see the deep springs from whence the world has come.
		The weave is already woven and it is Ishvara that has brought it forth and it is He that projects and holds the universe in place.

		Ishvara (pronounced as /ī:sh vərə/, lit., the Supreme Lord) — when man tries to know the attributeless Brahman with his mind, under the influence of Maya, Brahman becomes the Lord.
		Ishvara is Brahman with Maya — the manifested form of Brahman.
		However, while Isvara is the Lord of Maya and she (ie, Maya) is always under his control, the living beings (jīva, in the sense of humans) are the servants of Maya (in the form of ignorance).

		Ishvara, Jiva and Jagat are considered to be unreal in Advaita Vedanta since these entities are assumed to exist only at the empirical level.
		Ishvara is called Vidya because it is dominated by Sattva Guna.
		This reformulation at one stroke rescues Ishvara, Jiva and Jagat from hovering between existence and non-existence.

		If the implication is that Ishvara is a separate metaphyscial principle, this cannot be correct.

		It covers also the relation of the individual Ishvara to the universal or cosmic Ishvara; it deals with the realization of the soul in man that it is an integral part of the Oversoul.

		1.24 That creative source (ishvara) is a particular consciousness (purusha) that is unaffected by colorings (kleshas), actions (karmas), or results of those actions that happen when latent impressions stir and cause those actions.
		It is also not subject to the playing out of karmas, nor do actions cause the creation of new samskaras (2.12-2.25).
		1.26 From that consciousness (ishvara) the ancient-most teachers were taught, since it is not limited by the constraint of time.

		They are related to the triple nature of Ishvara, which, in all the things which come forth from Him, appears in the life-side which animates the forms.
		Then you come by a long descent, as it were, to the Ishvaras of systems, and there the great triplicity comes in of what you may call specialised forms, the Ishvaras there showing out the three Aspects in the three corresponding Gunas.
