Bhuma Vidya is the study of wealth of attributes of God. In Hinduism, Bhuma is an original and central characteristic of Brahma, the main resource of cosmic energy and force. Bhuma signifies immensity (beyond human levels) and is used in contexts to mean copious, deep, profound, and thrilling. It is an attribute of God to be experienced by contemplating on satyam (truth), jnanam (knowledge) and anantham (endless).
God is Anantha-kalyana-gunakara (limitless source of all good
attributes), one of the ideas of bhuma, and embodies the infinity. (Chandogya
Upanishad (seventh prapataka 23rd and 24th khanda)) (Brahmasutra of Badarayana
(first chapter 3rd pada an d 7th sutra).
Bhuma is described as niratisaya-sukha-jnana (limitless
happy knowledge) and is considered to be the best from all angles. Life is
considered as trivial or small and not bhuma. This vidya is recommended for those
who are subject to pain in life. It refers to Bhagavan’s Vibhuti (Lord’s wealth
of attributes). Bhagavan’s lila Vibhuti (this world which is considered one
quarter) and nityavibhuti (the celestial world considered three quarters) is
also referred to as bhuma. His qualities like ubhaya-linga-visishtatva (the two
prominent characteristic of God), viz., Akhila-heya-pratyanikatwa (being bereft
of all bad qualities) and kalyanaikatanatwa (being full of good attributes) are
experienced by the bhuma vidya person. It is like bees preferring madhu (honey)
to ikshu-rasa (can juice) when given a choice.
The perception that everything belongs to Him and that His Vibhuti
(wealth) is endless leads one to Brhmanubhava (experience of infinite Brahman);
there can be no other all-inclusive experience. One can see His opulence
everywhere as everything belongs to Him. Bhuma (infiniteness) is experienced by
the contemplation of His attributes kalyana guna as explained in Gadyatraya of
Ramanujacharya.
