What is Anant Naviva? I found it on our site here:

http://ismaili.net/ginans/ashaji.html

They seem like Anant Akhado verses, but they aren't because the first verse isnt even the same and there are not the same amount of verses. Also, if it is different, what is the Historical Background? Does it fit in with the Historical Background located here:

Thanks!

Anant na Viva meaning 'the marriage of the countless' is not part of the Anant Akhado although having the same raag. They were composed later and deal with matters around the state of spiritual enlightenment. The Anant Akhado verses deal with the longing and the quest for the light.

Thank you kmaherali, also, would this be the same as Anant Na Nav Chuga (I think that's what it is called if I remember correctly).. Thanks again..

You are welcome. Anant Na nav Chhuga (90 verses) are separate. They comprise the addendum to the Anant Akhado (500 verses).

Nav Chhuga means 'nine tussles' which were added to the turban comprising the Anant akhaddo, to beautify it. There is great symbolism in it....
