Namaste,

the Granthis or knots that bind us are called Brahma-granthi, Visnu-granthi and Rudra-ganthi - Avidya, Kama, Karma as they call them.

Can anyone comment on why they [granthis] received the names of Brahma, Visnu and Rudra?
What is the association ? I understand what they are, yet for these great Beings to be associated to 'ignorance' does not seem to fit.

Pranams,

So called ignorance is only the self-limitation of Maheshvara aka Chiti. And Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra being powers of Iccha, Jnana and Kriya, are limited faculties of Chiti, Supreme Consciousness.

Lord out of His total Freedom limits Himself in His play. There are no external powers that can bind Him!
