AN INQUIRY INTO CREATOR AND HIS CREATION
SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 2011
Paak Vidhi!
One must always do all the work as worship to HARI . When we love somebody , we go that extra mile in
doing things for them ! A father acts a little liberal and grants all the wishes of a daughter to show that she
means everything to him . A husband does that extra bit to show that he cares for his wife . A soldier leaps in
front of the enemy to show he does not even care for his life for his mother . So we all do something
extraordinary to please our near and dear ones . When a question arise who is best father in the world , the
daughter says my daddy superman , because he does such and such thing and that such and such thing
should be extraordinary never done by anyone in this world to declare him to be best FATHER [ as if you
tear his shirt you see a S mark ] . Who is the best husband ? of course BHEEMSENA , just to get a flower
for his wife DRAUPADI , he travelled 30000 yojanas away from the earth ,crossing Bharath khand ,
kimpurush khand and himavarta to Ketumaal and killing crores of rakshasas crossing mountains and
valleys and oceans ,got Saugandhika Pushpa from Gandhamadhan PARVAT in another VARSH ! [ more than
just - tum kaho to chaand taare tod lawoon ] So one does things in best possible way to the limit of capacity
to impress the Loved one! Shastras say one must HARI more than anybody else in the life ! When such Love
[sneha] is coupled with mahatmya gyana [ knowledge of supremacy and gunapoornatva of Lord ] it is called
BHAKTI . Such amala Bhakti leads to MOKSHA !
So Bhakta does everything that is to perfection and such an act is Pleasing to HARI. The purpose of every act
is to Please HARI ie. impress HARI . SO shastra describe dos and donts of each act from getting up early
morning to sleeping in the night . EVery act has a procedure and well laid in shastras . Every such act is
composed of UTTAMA PAKSHA , MADHYAM PAKSHA GAUNA PAKSHA and ADHAMA paksha . leading
to best medium and ordinary acts and wrong acts too . Each will have its own result . result always being
HARI preeti .
EVen in UTTAMA paksha , there are various shastras and various sookshmas , which can be seen from the
lives of the GREATS ! so gradation comesforth when such acts are carried out with perfection and level of
perfection determines the gradation. So while variations in Uttama paksha leads to higher posts in tartamya ,
but failure does not lead to sin . But Madhyam gauna paksha are to be used in face saving situation , Adhama
paksha is best avoided and can also be resorted to during apadhdharma !
So while all acts comprise vidhi nishedha , so also PAAKA , that cookery ! LAOGAKSH smriti and Vashishta
vyasa Smriti lay out beautiful foundation for PAAKA vidhi ! As to how food be prepared in a household .
Food is to be prepared not for self but for naivedya for HARI . even when we or our near dear eat its HARI
who eats by being within us . Because VISHNUSAHASRANAAM praises him as BHOKTA ! YAGNYABHUk
So ultimate procedure should be followed to prepare the food for HARI [ and one must not resort to kutarka
that HARI desires nothing so anything offered is OKAY and everything offered is OKAY as everything
consists of HARI , AGHORAS FEEL BOTH SHUDDHA AND ASHUDDHA ARE HARIdatta , so why look
down upon ashuddha ! some even say it should not matter who prepares food , how one prepares food ,what
one uses to prepare food as all are creations of HARI , so a pizza burger , etc can also be a naivedya ] We shall
see how these cannot become NAIVEDAYA !
Why should we cook for LORD , because , by eating VISHNU naivedya we get rid of sins , those sins that are
factors for this samsaara !
We must prepare food with the smarana of HARI all through . WHy ? every work brings some kind of fatigue
. But lord who creates this variety of universe does not get fatigue at all , thinking about him during work
removes such fatigue as Lord manifests in such act there arises no fatigue !
Water should be brought with utmost cleanliness [ madi] from river shore or nearest water body [natural]
into the house . Then it should be filtered thrice by a muslin cloth or cotton . and poured into a different
vessel . This forms the clean water !
Sage VASHISHTHA says SNIGDHAM PATHYAM TATHA SHUDDHAM SHUBHRAM RUCHYAM
MANOHARAM | PAJAYEDODANADYAM TU JAYATE NIYATENDRIYA||
The food should have six qualities
1.
snigdham:- What we eat ? we just dont eat the food [ the material ] before us . We eat whole lot of
other things along with the material food ! the food is not just the dish before us . it is a signature of
the personality of the cook ! When we say signature , it comprises about his thought process , his
habits , his philosophy , his beliefs , his morality , his ways of living , his emotions towards the diet
and the guest forms the entire aura of the food . We have to eat and digest everything of the above !
The aura that comprises the above makes changes to our aura , and food makes changes to the body
! the thought makes changes to our thought ! So food should be well established in sneha [ the
quality that introduces snigdhatva ] , one should have bhakti towards the HARI ,
Anuraag towards the spouse ,vatsalya on the children , and gaurav towards the elders
and atithi and abhyagata and daya towards the dasa and dasi . Thus sneha takes so
many forms according to the tartamya of relationship . such a sneha makes the food equal
to the nectar amrutam and increases the satvikta among the sajjanas . the food that does not have
sneha is akin to poison and brings misfortunes . The sneha leading to snigdhatva is responsible for
the amount of ghee and oil that goes into the food and these also contribute to the longevity and
health of the one accepting the food . Usually when we eat outside , all such sneha concept is
missing .
2.
pathyam:- The food should be conducive to health ,nutritional. The ingredients that goes into
preparation should follow right proportions and should be in accordance with ayurveda ie. milk
should not be mixed with curds , honey should not be mixed with ghee , but we see in some dishes ,
even onions and garlic are used along with milk , cream is used on a spicy dishes . these leads to
health hazards . stale food , over cooked or half boiled , these cause health complications . Food
with non seasonal ingredients in opposite seasons cause health upsets . Seasons are also hourly as
per paaksashtra , so certain foods should not be prepared in evening or midnight . certain foods
should not be consumed early morning . so keeping in view all the pathya apathya ,if food is
prepared , it brings happiness [moda] to chitta and stability to deha .
3.
Shuddham:- when we eat food ,it should give rise to satvik thoughts and increase satvik nature , so
shuddha padartha should be used . One must know what are satvik ingredients , what is acceptable
what is not , what is prohibited . so a food prepared with only acceptable satvik padarthas and
bereft of nishiddha padarthas is known as shuddha . Food has three parts , one that goes to nourish
the body , second that nourishes the mind and third is the one that affects the journey of soul .
Second part arises out of the vegetables and ingredients used in the food , satvik food gives satvik
prachodan , rajasik food gives rajasik prachodan and tamasik food gives tamasik prachodan .
4.
Shubhram:- Food should be clean . clean from dirt . Both inner and outer . a cook should not have
unclean appearance and cleanliness of thought is very necessary. if the cook in unclean in thoughts
so also we get unclean thoughts forcefully after eating the food . This leads to misfortunate events .
In the west a survey says , every two minutes people think of kama . so such a person if he prepares
food , he induces kama in the person consuming . The level of kama may be not at all within the
conducive limits of the consumer , so misfortunes follow . such a food causes temporary ashuddhi
and avesha . Similarly hatred , greed and anxiety and jealousy also get induced instantly with such
food . Not to speak of ill will and criminal tendencies . .
5.
Ruchyam :- the food should be healthy and nutritional we have mentioned , but that does not mean
it should taste like a medicine or kashaya or simple kichadi type without any happiness to taste
buds . Food should be a feast to tongue . This would come if the science of cooking is well known ,
the varieties of dishes , varieties of tastes , and varieties of rasas [ sweet , sour , salty ,chilly ,
astringent and unripe ] and varieties of herbs and spices and how they should be mixed in what
proportion to give great meal . for ex . usually astringent vegetable when fried in butter with right
amount of sour ingredient and chilly instantly turns the preparation into a sweet smelling tasty
dish . also The food should not be a tasted one [uchchista ] , this causes further degradation as it
gives a share of misfortunes of the cook to consumer . the meal becomes tastier when presented for
naivedya with all the mudras like tarkshya , dhenu , parvat and with a chant of dwadash stotra and
Surabhi mantra makes it supernaturally tasty .
6.
manoharam :- the food should be feast to eyes and nose and extremely soothing and exhilarating to
mind . Food should not only be pleasant while eating but should be pleasant even after eating . This
feeling of well being should remain throughout the day . How is this possible ? this is possible by
using good quality of products , second good presentation skill ie. seasoning and garnishing and
decorating . The aroma plays a very important role in seasoning and garnishing . The food is
usually prepared and then a [poogapatta a special cloth ] is filled with aromatic substances like
karpoora , patola , kesari , nagkesar etc sometimes fruits like bijora neembu ,oranges or flowers like
champa , kevada etc are used in different poogapatta and then the netra of this patta is closed
around the food and hot ghee is poured . This renders excellent aroma to the food . when we
mention quality , quality also includes the quality of dravya , ie the money that has been used to
purchase these products . The money earned if it is not of sanmarga or from a sat-swamy
[ boss/organization] or sadvritti then the sins of swamy will come along with dushta dravya , this
enters the food too . Suppose one is very sensitive towards a concept called failure in love divorce or
separation from spouse or parents etc . And resolves to be a good spouse , lover or child . But
suddenly events in the life turn out that he is shunned by spouse or he himself have to leave parents
. this causes extreme mental imbalance and grief . Grief not account of event but more out of failure
in philosophy . And one will never find fault with oneself and feel event was more or less as of
driven by unknown force . All such force is because of asatdravya . The organization or boss you are
serving is earning by means of kumarga or is indulgent in sins, all such sins of gohatya , sins leading
to divorce , affairs , moha, losses , getting cheated and falling down morally , indulging in immoral
acts , agamyagaman etc are shared and hits the consumer as everyday food is eaten out of such
dravyas ,. So also dravya obtained by dana from such people give similar results .So though food
will be tasty but will not be manohara in long run as it gives disturbed sleep and immoral karmas.
The clothes or dhoti should not be wet while cooking . Such a food is not fit for naivedya or to be
given to devtas. The food prepared by wet clothes goes to rakshasas and devatas do not accept such
a food . However a wet cloth if beaten against wind eleven times is considered dry .
The woman should never cook food for devatas without wearing a blouse or innerwears . without
blouse and innerwears if prepared such a food is eaten by ILVAL named demon i.e. devatas do not
accept it .
Similarly one should not cook with wet hairs or one should not ether prepare with anger in mind .
one must always dry the hair . hair must never be dried directly against the fire , one must use
dhoop sugandha or sambhrani to dry hair and not blow hot air or directly against fire . Such a food
will be discarded by devtas and VATAPI demon eats such a food giving a mind of partiality among
the eater . anger causes one to become a fool among the group .
one must not cook with tears in eyes or grief in mind . Devatas do not partake such food . these food
is fit to be taken by dogs and crows .
All food that digresses the vidhi nishedha is known as tamas and should not be consumed , if
consumed by mistake or unknowingly the smriti gives following prayaschitta . Panchgavya
prashana is the best remedy according to shastras . for men apat from panchagavya prashana 1000
gayatri is ordained . after that simhanuvaak parayana is ordained . if not done asuchi increases day
by day .
one must not cook in a sleeping position . When cooked in such a position or cooking directly after
sleep , kalis wife alakshmi immediately enters such a person . Thus the food becomes a good
naivedya for KALI . Such a food good people should never touch . If taken such a food , once wealth
gets destroyed . Misfortunes hit him in the following days . his luck evaporates . In such a situation
one must immediately recite shantisukta for 108 times to regain luck .
One must not cook facing west or south , such a food is taken by pisachas . pitrus and devatas dont
touch such food . One must never give such food to atithis and bramhins . eating such a food one
looses his learnings [ vidyahaani ] . In the long run becomes a amused fool without any respect in
the society . The west food makes one suffer povert his belongings give way and loose lustre and
slowly he becomes pennyless.Prayaschitta is that one must stand in the east and do punashcharana
samput of vayahruti mantra for ten times . in the end pranav should be chanted .
Agni is a bhuta tatva . it is very important in our life . it is a personal issue . Just like a good health
conscious person does not use others belongings like clothes and utensils and bedsheets , towels
and perfumery and soaps and other toiletries etc . similarly agni should also be not used . Agni is
three types : one that is used to do agnihotra etc . two that is used to light the deepa before HARI
nandadeepa and three that is used to light the house . The third one is suitable for cooking . first
two should not be used for cooking . The first two is extremely protected since the day one gets
sanskaara . The third is extremely personal . it is also protected .
one must always use ones own agni to cook and not others agni or borrowed agni , this food will not
be accepted by devatas and pitrus .
Suppose ones agni extinguishes then one must always get agni from a shrotriya only and follow the
procedure to establish agni the house as per shruti and not just get it into the house .
One must never get agni from avaishnav , shudra vaishya , fallen or pashanda or unclean houses . If
there is not a single bramhana in a kugrama then in that case one can get agni from the VAISHNAV
sudra . This agni should be brought via a dry twigs and not wood , such a twigs should be installed
in the place outside of the house or garden . then one must increase the fire with few more twigs
and when the fire is lit heavily , one can get a tulasi kashtha to light this fire and bring it inside the
house and put in the chullaki . This should be then mixed with wood to keep the fire . This fire
should be in the east of the room . Thus agni shuddhi is obtained .
Agni obtained by friction , or by sulphur or by iron filings is prohibited as it is not pavak agni .
If agni is brought from a temple then some dakshina like rice , tamboola etc should be kept in the
temple .
Cooking is yagnya , so the fuel used should be clean , it should be made of cowdung ,or palash ,
khadir and bilva wood . Others are termed impure . butane , kerosene , methane ethanol , biogas ,
petroleum mixtures , microwave etc are not useful for the naivedya .
Krsihnacharya in smritimuktavali says tulasi kashtha must be compulsorily used to prepare food .
this will be very pleasing to LORD and even if small this will give punya equal to meru parvat .
With senses under control and silently one must prepare naivedya .
Rice should be washed thrice or four times before cooking .
It should be then taken in another vessel and cooked by poring water.
Rice should never be poured into hot water and then cooked , such a rice is unfit for naivedya .
Similarly Daal is unfit for naivedya if cooked on fire along with the water . Daal should be poured
into hot water after washing it four times .
Shraddha cooking if done by daughter in law , it is liked by the pitrus .
The vessels to be kept before naivedya should be kept on a mandala square .
North east one should keep kheer vessel , south east one must keep vesels containing bhakshya ,
daal preparations in the southwest , all curries in the north west and rice in the centre , a ghee
vessel in between rice and kheer ,
everyday new vesels should be used for cooking , or vessels made of wood used in yagnya should be
used . but still once every month a new vessel should be used .
salt should be served on left
rice in the centre , kheer in the right upper ghee in the right .
curries of vegetables on the front .
bhakshya bhojya on the left .
no each dish should each other while serving .
tur daal preparation is good for devata karya
udid daal for pitru karya .
moong daal specially for pitru karya .
similarly til is good for pitru naivedya .
when all the dependents have eaten , dev, pitru ,bramhins , family members , friends relatives ,
atithis , servants ,antyaj chandaladi , beggars , dogs , animals , birds , pisachas etc . then the
yejamaana should eat and after his meals wife should eat in the same plate as that of husband . this
increases love between them as wife imbibes the qualities of husband more and more .

Yuga Bhedha
In Ramayana
Ravanasur attained siddhi through tapasya .
He acquired all the astras ,including Bramhastra .
He taught it to his son Indrajit as well .
Ravanasur was a ordinary soul .
He lost his bramhacharya by forcing several women of sevaral lokas .
Yet he did not lose his siddhi or capability to discharge astras .
In Mahabharata
All the astras were acquired by pure learning and Guruupadesha .
Ashwaththama was verily lord Shiva a great soul .
Ahwaththama had never in actual lost bramhacharya .
Yet he could not discharge Bramhastra
owing to loss of bramhacharya just by sankalpa
In Ramayana
An attempt was made to abduct Vedmata .
the abduction was on account of deployment of deciet .
Hari deluded the attempt by deploying Seetakruti
Hari came to rescue after a year
In Mahabharata
An attempt was made to enslave Vedmata .
here too there was deployment of deciet .
hari deluded by providing inexhaustible supply of cover .
Hari came to immidiate rescue .

Venkatesh stotra - 2
Pradyumna :
NARAYANA in his moolarupa , took the forms of Vasudeva , pradyumna , sankarshana ,aniruddha , before
the start of the creation . His wife MAHALAXMI also took the forms of MAYA , KRITI , JAYA , SHANTI .
MAYAPATI VAsudev gives mukti to all
kritipati Pradyumna creates the srishti
Jayapati sankarshana destroys the bramhanda
Shantipati Anirudhha maintains the srishti
Srinivas [ Lord Venkatesh ] is Vasudev as stated earlier thus he is the one who confers Mukti , now we call
HIM PRADYUMNA so that the task of creation also belongs to HIM.
Pra means SARVOTTAMA the superiormost , 'dyumna ' means one with auspiscious qualities infinite and
complete with a golden hue .Thus VENKATESHA is known as PRADYUMNA.

VENKATESH STOTRA!!!
!! SRIVENKATESHO VASUDEV: PRADYUMNO AMITVIKRAMA !
SANKARSHANO ANIRUDHHASHCHA SHESHADRI PATIREVACHA !!
VENKATESHA STOTRAM IS FROM BRAMHANDA PURANA WHICH IS RECITED IN EVERY HOUSE
WITH PIETY . EVEN IN THIS AGE OF KALI LORD IS MAKING MANY BEND TO HIS FEET WHICH IS
EVIDENT BY THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO VISIT THIS PLACE EVERYDAY .
OUR
GURU SHRI RAGHAVENDRA SWAMIJI
WAS ALSO BORN AS A RESULT OF GREAT TAPASYA DONE BY THEIR PARENTS AT TIRUPATI AND
NAMING THE CHILD AS VENKATNATH. VENKATNATH WENT ON TO BECOME SHRIRAGHAVENDRA
TEERTHA .
IT IS VERY MUCH EVIDENT THAT RECITING THIS STOTRAM WITH MEANING WILL ENSURE
MOKSHA AND FULFILLMENT OF ALL WISHES . LET THIS TRANSLATION BE A SEVA TO THE FEET
OF LORD AS PRESENT IN SHRI RAGHAVENDRA SWAMY
****************************************************************************************
1> THE WORD VENKATESH HAS THREE WORDS VEN KAT AND EESH .
ACCORDING TO THE BHAVISHYOTTAR PURANA VEN MEANS SINS .KAT MEANS BURNS UP .
MADHAV WAS A VERY ELIGIBLE BRAMHIN WHO DUE TO PRARABDHA KARMA LEAVING ASIDE
PARENTS AND WIFE AND HIS BRAMHIN STATUS , WENT AWAY TO LIVE WITH A CHANDAAL
WOMAN AND INDULGED IN ALL KINDS OF SINS ALL THROUGH HIS LIFE .SUCH MADHAVS SINS
BURNT UP JUST BY THE MERE TOUCH OF THIS MOUNTAIN . THUS THE MOUNTAIN IS KNOWN AS
VENKAT BECAUSE IT BURNS UP THE SINS .
EESH -MEANS LORD .VISHNU WHO RESIDES AND LORDS OVER THIS MOUNTAIN IS KNOWN
AS VENKATESH
Vasu means one who is inside deva means one who sports . Lord resides in all of us . He sports being
inside us . As lord resides in everyone . When we have extreme happiness we should owe it to God and
thank . because it is He who has given us all this being in others . Similarly when we face sorrow we must
think God has given us sorrow to wash off our sins . We should not hate the person who is responsible for
sorrow .
Vasu means one who covers everywhere , everything . God Srinivasa covers us like a sheet and protects us
from external dangers and calamities . He regulates the entire universe by being outside and inside it . Thus
he is vasudev .
Va means one with complete strength. asu means one who controls everyone . de means one who gives
everything and va again here means one who is present everywhere . Being present everywhere , he controls
everyone and gives whatever wished for to those who pray him . Thus Srinivas is vasudev .
being the son of vasudev He is also known as VASUDEV .
VASUDEVA
THERE ARE THREE WORDS IN THIS : VA SU DEVA
VA MEANS ONE WHO IS OF THE FORM OF KNOWLEDGE .
SU MEANS ONE WHO CREATES ENTIES WORLD [SRUSHTI]
DEVA MEANS ONE WHO SPORTS AND ENJOYS IN THIS WORLD .
AS HE CREATES THE ENTIRE WORLD /UNIVERSE HE HAS A NAME SU [ WHO? LORD
VISHNU!]
AS HE CREATES ALL OF US ,SINCE WE ARE CREATED WE ARE ALL UNDER HIS CONTROL
i.e PARADHEEN .
BUT A BODY IS ACQUIRED AS THE SRUSHTI PROCEEDS , THUS A BODY IS PRESENT ONLY
IN THE SRISHTI , SO SRINIVASA [LORD] SHOULD ALSO HAVE A BODY , BUT HOW CAN HE
HAVE A BODY BEFORE SRISHTI . IF HE DOES HAVE ONE ? THEN IT MUST HAVE BEEN
CREATED BY SOMEONE . IF IT IS INDEED CREATED THEN EVEN HE BECOMES
PARADHEEN JUST LIKE US AS HE HAS BEEN CREATED . [ THIS DOUBT CAN CREEP UP ]
THUS EITHER SRINIVASA SHOULD BE BODYLESS BEFORE CREATION OR ELSE HE
BECOMES SUBSERVIENT LIKE US .
TO ELIMINATE THIS DOUBT , THE WORD VA IS USED ie HE HAS A BODY OF KNOWLEDGE

AND NOT THAT OF PRAKRUTI . APRAKRUT SHARIR IS WHAT WE SEE IN TIRUPATI AND
NOT A STONE OR IDOL AS LORD HIMSLEF IS STANDING THERE AND IT IS NOT AN IDOL
INSTALLED BY SOME . SINCE IT NOT A STONE , INFACT NOT MADE UP OF ANY MATERIAL
IN UNIVERSE IT IS KNOWN AS APRAKRUT AS CONVEYED BY THE WORD VA.
THE BODY OF MATERIAL WORLD WILL HAVE BIRTH AND DEATH BUT NOT THAT OF
APRAKRUT BODY BECAUSE THERE IS NO BIRTH OR DEATH TO A BODY WHICH IS MADE
UP KNOWLEDGE , HAPPINESS AND OTHER AUSPICIOUS ATTRIBUTES.
THUS SRINIVASA EXISTS EVEN BEFORE CREATION . AND HE IS SWATANTRA AND NOT
PARADHEEN .AND SINCE HE HAS A BODY OF HIS OWN HE CAN CREATE AS WELL .
IN THIS WORLD EVERYONE DOES WORK FOR SOME PURPOSE . NO ONE IS ACTIVE
WITHOUT PURPOSE AND AIM . THUS THIS SRINIVASA MUST ALSO BE CREATING THIS
WORLD WITH SOME PURPOSE .
IF THERE IS A PURPOSE BEHIND A WORK THERE HAS TO BE SOME RESULT OR FRUIT OF
SUCH PURSPOSE AND TOIL . IF SUCH A TOIL ENDS IN FRUITION MEANS THE TOILER
/WORKER [ IN THIS CASE SRINIVASA] MUST BE UNDER THE SUBSERVIENCE OF THE
GIVER OF THE FRUITS . [ THIS GIVER OF FRUITS FOR THE LABOR OF CREATION MUST
PRESIDE OVER SRINIVASA] SO SRINIVASA BECOMES PARADHEEN .
HOW CAN A PARADHEEN CREATE?
ie IN SHORT IF THERE IS A SELFISH PURPOSE BEHIND CRAETION THEN GOD IS SELFISH
TO CREATE THIS WORLD AND HE HAS SOME FRUITS TO BE ACHIEVED THROUGH
CREATION FOR HIS OWN SELF . THEN HE IS DEPENDENT ON FRUITS AND ACHIEVEMENT
FOR WHICH HE IS TOILING TO CREATE THIS WORLD . SUCH INCOMPLETE DEPENDENT
ENTITY CANNOT BE GOD OR CREATOR !
PRECISELY TO DISPEL THIS DOUBT THE WORD DEVA HAS BEEN ATTRIBUTED TO LORD
SRINIVASA .
HE SPORTS IN HIS OWN CREATION .HE HAS NO GOALS TO BE ACHIEVED FOR HIS OWN
BETTERMENT . HE IS ALWAYS FULL OF HAPPINESS . IN THIS WORLD A WHEN IN FULL
HAPPINESS PEOPLE DRINK AND IN THAT INTOXICATED STATE THEY DANCE AND SPORT .
LORD HAS NO PURPOSE OF HIS OWN . THUS HIS CREATING THE WORLD IS NO
HINDRANCE TO HIS COMPLETENESS AND INDEPENDENCE .
HE CREATES TO GIVE HAPPINESS TO INFINITE SOULS THAT COME INTO EXISTENCE

THROUGH CREATION AND ATTAIN BLISS .
THUS ENDS THE FIRST OF THE MANY MEANINGS OF VASUDEV AS ENUMERATED IN
SHRUTI . REST OF THE MEANINGS WE SHALL INSPECT ONE BY ONE !!!!

Vaikuntha Varnan
"gandhdwaramduradharshaam nityapushtaam karishinim |ishwarim sarvabhutaanam
tamihophavahyeshriyam||"
Saint Vadiraaj has written Vaikuntha varnane in four chapters 1.moksha sandhi 2.laya 3 srishti and 4 stithi
sandhi .
This is directive lesson in the journey towards Moksha for a aspirant .It highlights the philosophy of
Poornapragnya acharya in very lucid manner .
In the first sandhi after the mangalacharan Vadiraaj elucidates the three avataras of Vayu namely Hanuman ,
Bheema and Madhvacharya .Srimadananda teertha has brightened the lamp of true knowledge of Lord
Vedavyasa .
He has upheld that , the world in which we are living , the world which we are experiencing and is
witnessing with all the senses and more importantly breathing in the air of the world,such a world is
REAL.
Those who claim that everything is FALSE [ MAYA ] , then very tongue with which they are
claiming this also becomes FALSE .
How can a false tongue convey anything ? Then speechless such persons cannot argue further
!
Thus stressing this logic Vadiraaj quotes the verse " dwasuparna sayujasakhay ........." from vedas [shruti] to
bring out the point that ,
Jeeva and Isha are two different birds embracing the tree namely human body .
If a person teases the other in presence of others as " one without qualities " it is seen in the world tempers
rise with fury of anger . Then if such words are attributed to Lord Srinivas how can they be accepted .
According to Vadiraaj swamy , this chapter is intended to give bhakti to the good and ethical people and
increase hate among the uneligibles . Lord Vishnu has been declared as the greatest in the inquiry made by
rishis through Sage Bhrigu .
Such a lord's story [ harikatha] , if not heard ever by those evil people ,such people's breathing is a mere
exercise akin to the blacksmith's equipment . Such people [ who have no bhakti in Lord ], their mundane
activities are also akin to the sporting pigs and dogs at the enterance of city gates .
Their ears [ which have never heard a harikatha ] are akin to the rat pits . Their eyes which have not rejoiced
at the sight of Lord 's Idol are akin to owl . The tongue which has not sung the hymns of Narhari are akin to
squeaking frogs .
Did Parikshit not attain Vaikuntha ,listening to harikatha in seven days ?
Did Khatvang King not attain the Moksha in just 48 minutes ?
Bhakti is paramount in Moksha sadhana . With Nirmal [ unadulterated ] bhakti ,whence one remembers
Narayana continuously , souls reach Vaikuntha .
Reaching the abode namely Vaikuntha [where Lord Narayana is ever visible to the souls ] is what is
known as MOKSHA .
The place that never perishes is known as Vaikuntha
Vaikuntha is the only true dwelling [ everlasting stay].
There Lord Narayana is visible always uninterruptedly in his complete full glory .
Those who have attained mukti are known as MUKTA .
Vaikuntha is the place where Mukta live ,without fear of return to mortal world ever .
ONce entered in this world .one never comes back into the sansaar .
once entered in Vaikuntha one is relieved from cycle of birth and death .
Vaikuntha has no miseries
Vaikuntha has no incompleteness .
Muktas are always complete and happy in everyway .
SriMahalaxmi with infinite forms serves Lord Narayana in Vaikuntha and also illuminates the
Vaikuntha with her radiance akin to hundred crores of Suns put together , in all the 10 directions of
Vaikuntha.
Vaikuntha of Bhagavan Vishnu is above the satyaloka of Brahma .
Untouched by miseries ,sidhdhas and sadhyas are enjoying in infinite ways each and every moment
uniterruptedly ,without end .
All these experiences of happiness in the Vaikuntha is the result of service to the Lord Krishna's
lotus feet .
The bestower of such happiness of Moksha ie Lord Krishna's feet and enjoyer of the happiness ie
Jeeva are different and in hierarchy . ie Lord is aiways different and greater [ infinitely] than jeeva
during sansaar , after sansaar ie Moksha , and also during Moksha , such difference exists and
conyinues , among Lord and jeeva and also among Jeevas .
Such a difference is truth
Such a heirarchy is Also the TRUTH.

" chaturgunadyupasan jignyasadyupasadibhi: swabimbaparoksha gnyanotpadaken

Lord Narayana has to be meditated by manushyas as satya, gnyan , anand atma[ paripoorna] ;the four
qualities , by devatas as many as qualities and by bramha infinitely through jignyasa through shravan
manan dhyana . By paroksha dhyan upasana , Lord blesses with aparoksha .
Muktiyogya [ those eligible for moksha ] fall into five categories :
1.
Devatas
2.
rishis
3.
pitrus
4.
chakravartis[ kings]
5.
manushyottam [ superior among men]
When these souls continuously meditate the bimba , such upasana results into disintegration of lingadeha
from swaroop deha just as skin of the grain comes off the grain , rsulting in the manifesttion of swaroop
ananda[ happiness inherent]
As each soul is unique and different and full of happiness , a vichitra happiness is manifested by the grace
of God Narayana , this knowledge I attribute to the LORD [ samarpan ]
Linga deha has 16 kala [ dashendriya 10 , panchtanmatra 5,manas 1] ,anulingasharira , thereafter mahatatva
sharira . This is covered by ahankaratmak anirudhdha sharira . Such a linga deha is beginingless . Jeeva has
seven layers ;
1.
Ishvar ichcha
2.
jeevaichchadika
3.
paramachchadika
4.
linga deha
5.
avidya
6.
kaam
7.
karma
These seven forces in transition to become a sthula deha [ outer body].

Anirudhdha deha is made up of ahankar and has presence of daitya[demons] in it to inspire the sins in us .
These demons' activities do not reach mahatatva and linga deha and for this it is always protected by Lord
Narayana in the form "Trivrat" till the disintegration of linga deha .
" Trittatha madiye shubhashubhkarmanormadhye ashubh karmanusarena tatprerit mukhyapranena

I am performing both good and bad deeds .
Owing to the sins and ashubh karma done in previous births , to reap those fruits of ashubh karma ,
demons [asur] inspire to sin .
At that time , prayed by me in anguish , You inspire Mukhyaprana to punish those starting from
tatvabhimani asuras till Kali [all tamoyogyas , one befitting hell]
Then Mukhyaprana with his gada ,hits them to experience the miseries inherent in their swaroop
deha of kali etc in the hell named mahatamas ,such endless miseries these souls are ordained by
You as the LORD of Mukhyaprana .
This knowledge of mine be your prayer
I attribute it to you [ samarpana]

"Anubhav kaal ghatith SriVishnu swaatantrasmritipradhaanak "
A Chetan [sentient] being has Gyan ichcha and Kriya . The kriya Independent of others' ichcha can be seen in
Ishwar[ paramatma] alone .
But the knowledge that ' i am doing , i am understanding , i am desiring ' such a feeling and its
accomplishment is also seen in jeeva ., thus gyan ichcha kriya is present in the jeeva also.
But When Lord [paramatma] ignites knowledge and then plants a desire and then gives activity[ prayatna]
to jeeva[atma] only then a work [karma ] is accomplished by Atma . This is universally seen and observed
and experienced . Thus this work is not accomplished independently by Jeeva . Hence jeeva's ability
[ swatantrya] to accomplish a task is a grant of independence by Lord . Not self acquired or resident
independence . Even his activity is not under his control .
Paramatma , divides his inherent independence into parts and gives it to Bramha ,shiva etc jeevas ,
as a pratibimba of his inherent swatantrya .[ this is "datta swatantrya "]
Such datta-swatantrya is exhbited during karma accomplishment only by the ichcha[ desire ] of the
Lord .
Thus we see three types of independence
dattaswatantrya [ granted independence]
swagatswatantra [ inherent independence]
sarvaswatantra [ total indepence ]
Lord Krishna gives a part/fraction of swagat swatantra from his sarva swatantra [part as per the
yogyata ,capacity, of the soul ] as dattaswatantra in the pratibimba as present in bimba
This datta satantra is always there from beginingless time in jeeva
such dattaswatantra is manifested during experiences of the soul .
This experience bringsforth the fact[rememberance , memory ,smriti ] that Lord Narayana is alone
independent
This manifestation during accomplishment of karma is also brought forward by Vishnu himself
Narayana himself gives his Vishnu smriti .
"Nitya naimittika kaamya bhedena , trividhavidyaashrit swavarnaashramochit sankalpita

bhagavatpoojaatmak karmajanya phalenaaparoksha gnyanat poorvamantahkaran shuddhi dwara
tadupaasken tata: param bhagavadichchaya prapta

nijagurupadishtaswabimbavishayakapoornasachchidanandatmak "
Karma is of three types nitya , naimittika , kaamya
sandhyavandana , devataarchana , atithi pooja etc are nitya karma
chaturmasa vrata , vishnupanchaka upavasa ,tarpana etc are naimittika karma
one done with desires of fruits [ phalapeksha ] like special vrata ,yagnya ,mantra japa ,homa to
attain some desires is kaamya karma
All these are done as kayik [ bodily] ,vachanik [speech], manasik[ mentally]
Everything of such karma should be accomplished by the knowledge of space and time .
knowledge once varna and ashrama is also important during such karma
Varnashramochit karma should be done as pooja [ prayer] to God and such a sankalpa is necessary
to be done .
Such three types of karma done in the above said manner will give antahkaran shuddhhi ,when
done prior to Aparoksha gnyana
Such shudhdhi will pave way for bimbopasana without interruption and obstacles.
When done in continuous manner regularly uniterruptedly ,leads to pratyaksha of the Lord
Narayana .
I will release him from sansar bandhan ,such desire will be exhibited by me .
then through jeeva's nija guru , a upadesha will be made to show the way for upasanA , THAT
LEADS TO , pratyaksha of bimba roopa complete in all respect and inspirer of all the qualities ,that
sachidananda ,atmaswaroopa Lord Narayana.
This way Lord is aparokshikrut .

SarvaSamarpana Gadyam - 8
" Mukhyapranopasya "
That Lord who is meditated upon by Mukhyaprana .
All the souls are regulated by the Narayana .
'sarvasyahi pranetrutvat pran: narayana: para: ' - mandokya bhashya
Prana means regulator , Lord is the first/primary regulator . But LOrd regulatesevery soul vide
Mukhyaprana [ Hanuman] . Thus Vayu is also known as Prana . Prana means one which is relentlesly at
work .So Indriyas[ eyes nose ears etc senses ] are also known as Prana , but these senses exist till Vayu exists,
hence Vayu is known as MukhyaPrana . LOrd at all times ,at all places inspires these souls through
Mukhyaprana and gets meditated [ upasya] by him .
" ramayukta purushrupatmaka "
Lord is always accompanied by Ramaadevi as purush . Laxmidevi is equvivalent to Lord in the qualities of
time and space [ rest all other qualities she is infinitely inferior to him AND DEPENDENT ON HIM ,
REGULATED BY HIM] . She is different from him
Pramatma , resides in females in the form of females and among males he resides as male . In a human
body ,from toe till head He resides in various forms supporting the body. All souls are known by the name
'purush' ,so ramaadevi is also known as purush as she has equally strong nature[attributes] as the other
souls . All souls are 'kshara purush' but Laxmidevi is 'Akshara purush '
'dva vimou purushau loke ksharashcha akshara eva cha ' - bhagavad geeta , Lord is totally different from
these kshara and akshar ,such lord alongwith Ramaadevi resides in the swaroopdeha of the soul .
" praadesh matra hrudayvyapak praadeshparimit sthaneshatmak "
In the outer body of the soul [ soul has four bodies :swaroop deha ,linga deha , aniruddha deha ,sthula
deha] , inside the heart there is lotus . Here in this lotus , Lord resides in the form of the sizeof 'praadesh'
.by the name ' Isha ' .similarly he resides i the swaroopadeha ,of the size of praadesh of that body as well .
'praadesh ' means the space at the tip of the thumb , when thumb and forefinger are clasped . God resides in
the form of this size inside the heart of the human body . He similarly resides in all sub bodies in the same
relative dimension .
' valagrshatbhagasya shatadha kalpitasya cha | bhaago jeeva: sa vigneya sa ch anantya kalapate ' as per these
vedic words soul is of the sizeof one hundredth part of hundredth part of the edge of a horse's hair .
ie if a horse tail hair is taken and its edge is split 100 parts , take a part of it and split again into 100 parts ,
one such part is the size of a soul . it is 10000th part of a hair edge .
This jeeva has all the body parts in swaroop as well as in external body as well . Lord dwells in the heart of
every body [ fourbodies ] in the size of the praadesh of that body . internally as well as externally .
" Dehantargat dehangushthaparimit jeevaantargat jeevaangushtha parimit"
Lord is also present in the body of the soul to regulate the body , this form is of the sizeof thumb of the
external body , inside the soul he is again residing and regulating in the form of the sizeof the thumb .
so dually he is residing inside the body [ physical] and inside the soul , both by the size of relative thumb .
" swahrudaya kamalkarnikamoolastitha mooleshatmak "
Inside the heart where sushumns nadi exists ,there in each of the five subnadis of sushumna , five lotuses
with eight petals bloom ,In every lotus Lord exists at the bottom as the 'moolesha' .He has eight arms and
bestows the awakening and activiy to the soul.
" Tavatparimitkarnikaagrastitha "
At the forefront , similar to moolesha , lord also resides as 'agresha' , here this form gives the dream state to
the soul . and n the lotus he resides with 'shankha chakra gada padma ,kaustubh ,kirit and other ornaments
imparting deep sleep to the soul .
For the aparokshagyanis these three forms together form a bimba and firstly Lord reveals himself as '
Pradesh ' in the external body, this revelation is known as Aparoksha , and then with continuous sadhana he
reveals his moolesha and agresha forms in a pratyaksha .
" bimbarupe ................................anukarita avasthatraya niyamak "
Among the shubha and ashubha karma of the jeeva ,considering shubha karma inspired by Lord dwelling in
Mukhyaprana , directing the tatvabhimanidevatas to regulate the three states of activity , dream and deep
sleep , such lord reveals his bimbarupa to the jeva and exhibits his Ishatva quality .

"Pratarmaadhyandinsayamakhyasavanatraya tattatkalin tadabhimanivasurudraadityopasya"
Human life is 116 years .
pratahsavan 24 years
madhyandin savan 44 years
sayansavan 48 years
total 116 years , this is poornayus
When adhikmasa is added tota becomes 120 years
pratah savan is governed by Ashtavasus
madhyanin savan is governed by ekadash rudra
sayansavan is ruled by dwadash adityas .
Thus by being present in the jeeva , vasu rudra and adityas regulate his activities to form upasana of
lord vasudeva .
Thus Vasudeva is the chief abhimani regulator of the jeevatma .
" paramanu sambanditavatsankhyak "

Lord resides in the paramaNu [atoms] and also in the collections of these atoms forming infinite forms . He
resides individually in each atom and also in another form inside a collection of atoms forming anant rupas .
Such forms are also infinite as collections are infinite . Each collection is also consists of infinite atoms . Thus
Lord exhibits his glory in such infinite ways by being vyapta in the Vishva "
"aharniyamak aharnamak"
Each year in a human life[Ayus] of 100 years consists of 360 [Ahass] ie days . So total there are 36000 days
in a human life .[ we have 36000 + 36000 nadis left and right side ,each governs a day in our life , the lord
representing that nadi along with the abhimani devata ,tatva devata as present in that nadi ,rules over the
day ] .
on a particular Ahas Lord resides by that name in that Ahas and also governs the material things that we use
[enjoy,interact etc with] by the name of those things [jada , collection of atoms] ,though he takes the same
name as that of the collection and Ahas ,Lord is still different from these ahas and collections .

Brihati sahasra hymn from samaveda has 1000 shlokas .
note: - Brihati is a meter , this meter is proclaimed for a shloka of 36 syllables Aksharas . Kshara means
,prishable ,Akashara means imperishable . There are four kinds of chyuti in the life seen , one is that of loss
of form like when water is evaporated it becomes vapour , water has undergone chyuti , loss of shape like
ductile metals being beaten to cylinders and cones etc . loss of state as grains are ground to powder .
Destruction due to cutting , moulding ,
changes due to amalgamation ,
changes due to processing
changes on account of ageing .
These are all four kinds of chyuti , as lord does not undergo these changes He is known as Achyut . And also
as all natural things created owing to chyuti are known as kshara , Those which do not perish in its
minimalistic form are also known as Akshara . The sanskrit syllables are aksharas because they are seen in
the space . Thus These aksharas are also governed by Hari rupas [forms of God] . Together these forms form
a aksharmala mantra . It is one of he ashtamahamantras .
As each akshara is a form of a god , 36 aksharas X 1000 shlokas form 36000 forms of God . Each form is
unique and yet not different from the lord , Each can accomplish what Narayana in moolrupa can achieve
but yet inside a human body they achieve only what is ordained as per the yogyata of the soul and his
Karma . 36000 forms of male reside on the right side of the body and 36000 female forms reside on the left
side . So every body , male or female has both these forms of God in their bodies . ie A Girl would have her
right side full of male form of Lord and a MAN will have his left side full of female form of the GOD . Thus
one enters Gruhasthashrama only when the left side of female forms of LORD in a man is achieved unison
with the right side of MAle forms in a girl . This unison of forms through mantra is what known as
MARRIAGE . And Thus Womans' female forms acquire unison in a husbands' left forms of LORD and thus
woman becomes ardhangini , as what she carries in her body the same exists in the man by the grace of
LORD due to resemblance of features of forms that the couples display .
Thus our body is supported by these 72000 forms and Lord in as many forms carries out our day today
activity for us in the form of a huma body . Those who realize this , consider the human body as temple
where lord exists in 72000 forms , with 72000 tattva devaas along with their wives . Thus entire deva
samooha is in the human body . EVevry body that we see is a moving temple and presence of the devatas
point out to the fact that it is primarily the Devatas that rejoice through the body and whatever the happiness
that arises is primarily enjoyed by the deities and then the same is transmitted to the soul within the body as
per his capacity .
As per his capacity means , actually the level of happiness [ happiness is jada ] as quantum is much more tha
what we actually experience . But we experience only a little bit of it , a greater portion being enjoyed by the
tatva devatas according to their capacity . Thus it can also be said when we are experiencing the dukha
[sorrow] , the quanta of sorrow is very high and given to rakshasa and only a small bit is what relayed to soul
as experience . Thus in every kriya it is primarily the tattva devtas and not we who are doing the karma and
as per our level of participation in the karma we experience the sukha or dukha .
Also it can be said that everybody we see has this combo of tattva devatas and 72000 forms of Lord . Thus in
everybody Indra and sachi exist and mate and primarily it is them who enjoy and give happiness to lesser
souls .
{Thus when Indra actually touches a lesser mortal woman , he is still carrying out the same duty that he
usually carries out inside the bodies . Thus devatas touching a human body cannot be taken as poluuting the
body . and here Devatas still touch their counterparts only as their duties ordained to them by lord. [ This
explains why niyoga was not unchaste for KUNTI etc] }

Vishva : Lord Vishnu remains in the right eye of the beholder as Vishva to show him and give him the
experiences of the real world. Vishva has 19 heads ,two legs and five hands . 19 heads are , 9 on left and nine
on right with central head as that of Elephant . This was the upasya moorthy of Shri Vinayak[ ganapathy] ,
Vinayak after completing the upasana of this Vishva [Lord Vishnu] became known as Ganesh .
" Vinayakastu Vishvasya gnyanat ait gajavaktram " -mandookya bhashya mentions . Because this roop
shows the world to everyone , and it is pertaining vishva and nara in general , it is also known as "
Vaishvanar "
Vedas proclaim " shubham pibetyasau nityam na ashubham sa hari: " Lord only partakes the good in the
world that the man sees and what is evil and unchaste unto the experience is not absorbed by the lord but
only the soul partakes it .
TAijas : Taijas stays in the neck region of the body , more precisely at the place where there is man[mind ] .
Taijas is akin to Vishva in limbs and heads . Taijas gives the experience of the Dreamworld in sleep . Because
he cretes a vasanamay world in the antahkarna of the jeeva , he is known as Antah:pragnya
Svapnasthanah: Antahpragnya - mandookya upanishat
Pragnya : Lord as pragnya resides in heart of the body he gives deep sleep to the soul . here lord keeps only
the knowledge of self , time and ignorance and withdraws all other things . [prakarshan]
Prakarshen na gnyapayati
here jeeva experiences a liitle bit of sukha happiness that can be observed in Moksha .
note : only satvikas observe this sukha as swaroop is sukhamaya , as daityas have dukhmaya swaroop they
must obtain dukha in sleep as well , but Lord with his Achintyaadbhut shakti gives those daityas also sleep .
Awakening is shuddh satva activity dream is rajas and sleep is tamasik in nature.

Sarva Samarpana Gadyam-1 [SSG]

Lord Narayana has three rupas namely
Vishwa
Taijas
Pragnya.
Similarly we all have three states
Jagruta [awakening]
Swapna[dream]
Sushupta[Sleep]
Human body has 1. indriyas [eyes ,ears ,nose etc] and 2. mind [manas] .When both are active then we are in
state of awakening and we perceive things of the external world .[Jagruta avastha] This state is also
regulated by Lord Vishva
When external organs are inactive but inner organs and mind are active we are in state of dream .[svapna
avastha] . Here our body divides into two parts , one the physical body and second our kantiswarup . The
physical body is in sleep but this kanti svaroopa is culled out of the vasana that exist in the mind . With this
a vasnamaya world is created which contains , vehicles ,roads ,buildings and people and we experience the
dream just as if we are living in that world and our experiences we record as dream. Even in this state a soul
is regulated by Lord Taijas as it is he who separates the kantiswaroop and creates objects of desire in the
dreamworld culled out of our mind and vasana.
WHen both mind and indriyas are inactive we are in the state of deep slumber . This state is also regulated
by Lord Pragnya .
All this state is regulated by Lord as present in Mukhyaprana in our body inside us. Mukhyaprana is
jeevottama and is present in all the bodies and helps us to take breath in and out and sustains us and hence
he is known as Prana. Mukhyaprana being present in us breaths 21600 times everyday . this breathing
makes a sound of "So" HAM" thus Mukhyaprana makes the japa of " Soham " [ Hansa mantra japa] in every
body everyday every second . This gives us life and also life to everyone in the universe, the life force to live ,
thus Mukhyaprana [Hanuman] is the life of everyone in the world . He is primarily responsible to make us
all feel as alive . Once Mukhyaprana stops this japa , we stop breathing and people say - he has kicked the
bucket . Some say he has lost prana. Thus Hanuman is chief deity giving life to us by the grace of LOrd
Vishnu . We must pray this lord as present in Mukhyaprana in our heart . [ Madantaryami
Mukhyapranantargata sriman moolrama ],
Note: There are three types of soul, for each type Mukhyaprana does the same japa "SoHAM" , but it gives
the anusandhana of different type to three different souls ,1 . soham [ I am like HIM] , but different from,2 I
am like him as long as I am not Him 3. I am him ; The first believes in distinction and superiority of lord
from the self attains Moksha . second one keeps returning to samsara and third one reaches hell . SO three
different types achieve three different sadhanas and different gati but all are controlled and regulated by
Mukhyaprana and Lord Narsimha according to their swaroop and yogyata.

SarvaSamarpan Gadyam
Shri Raghavendra swamy has written many granthas to uphold Madhva Sidhdhanta of
SrimadAnandateertha . Of these Pratah Sankalpa gadya highlights the resolution one has to make towards
his future course of action during the day about to begin .
After we have competed our work by evening , we normally end our day by praying ;
" yasya smrutyacha namoktya tapoyagnya kriyadishu nyunam sampoortaam yati sadyo vande tam
achyutam , kayen vacha manasndriyeirva buddhyatmnaa vaanusrutsvabhava: karomi yadyat sakalam
parasmai Narayanayeti samarpayami "
So we attribute everything to the lord.While such samarpana , what kind of thought and anusandhana about
the our self , guru , Vayu and lord , as detailed by Acharya Madhva has been beautifully captured by Shri
Raghavendra Swamy in his Sarva Samarpan Gadyam .
Starting from " Jagrut swapnasushuptakhya avasthatraya niyamaka..........." till ............" tvayi samarpiten
tvatpoojaiva astu " ending thus Sarvam Narayanayeti samarpayaami .
If pratah sankalpa gadyam is a Sankalpa to start the day , Sarva samarpana gadyam is a KRishnarpanamastu
at the end of the day .But highlighting role of MUkhyaprana in all the parts of dayand even while we are
asleep , shows how devoted Shri Raghavendra swmy was to Mukhyaprana and Prana to the Mukhyaprana
shri Vedvyasa .
starting from tomorrow , each shloka of Sarvasamrpana gadyam will be translated ....... May lord Vedvyasa
bless us all .
krishnarpanamastu.

Mystical experiences at Tirupati continues again...

Year later I alighted at Renigunta to visit Tirupati Again . It was 1.30 am . I came out of the station , Just then
a taxi driver came up to me and said HE would take me up to Tirumala directly [ normal route would be to
take a bus to Tirupati and then take a special bus to Tirumala at the available time , this was a good time
saver ] . I agreed , he demanded only Rs 200 . That was a bonus . Second he promised to drop just right
before the temple to save my time for Darshan .
Then we moved on ,it was a comfortable ambassador car . I dozed off for next few hours and then the driver
called his acquaintance , he gave me tonsure at a nearby guest house, we reached pushkarni , I took a bath
and wore a red silk dhoti and red shalya . The driver told he will leave me at a place where i could easily get a
ticket for special darshan but that would still make me wait for four hours to get the darshan as it was a
holiday and bramhotsavam was to commence . I was okay with it , he took me to somewhat backside of the
temple , But no tickets were available , I requested for any seva tickets if available. But none were available .
Sad as I was , Driver too said he had done his maximum bit , so he said lets drive back to main entrance , on
the way he stopped at nearby pedestal [ it was still dark ] , his vehicle needed some attention , he got down , I
too came out of the car .
By the footpath someone was sleeping with a blanket on. HE was alone and none other were there nearby .
driver was busy with his car bonnet , he went to fetch water , I was standing by the foot of sleeping person.
Suddenly he woke up and asked me " swamy want to have a darshan " I said " yes but seems not possible ",
He took some special pass kind of thing out of his pocket and gave it to me and slept again . I hurriedly went
to the temple gates , looking at the pass , they took me straight to garbhagudi , Their I joined the archakas for
the Tulasi pooja ,
I recited Vishnu panjar stotra , Venkatesh stotra , and gazed with indebtedness n bhakti [ I was so
overwhelmed because God was so merciful at a papi , pamar like me , I didn't knew of single outstanding
quality in me that would entitle me to such love and affection, thus I was indebted , and my only desire was
to fall at the lotus feet again and again ] ,
After a grand tulasi pooja and aarti , I was out of the temple with full bag of laddoos . I was out of temple by 7
am . meanwhile my luggage was in the car itself , The driver was worried , he was waiting at the same spot ,
He was happy at my sight , I asked where was the person sleeping here , he said no one was there . I told him
I had a beautiful darshan , He asked would I like to visit Padmavathy temple . I told I had a train back at 2.30
, would I be able to catch it . He said he would enable me . HE drove fast towards padmavathy temple , there
was a huge rush , standing in the queue would mean , darshan by evening ,
I was still in red silk and shalya and tonsured head and Gopichandan , My dress was mistaken for a swamiji ,
just then some temple insider came by , looked at me bowed at me in reverence , I smiled at him , He
welcomed me , with loud cry said , Swamiji had come , all of you give way in tamil , , everyone , cleared the
way , I reached directly sanctum sanctorium and Srisukta kumkumarchana and pushparchana were done ,
with loads of prasadam , I was accompanied back to the car. I stood at the temple Main gopuram looked back
,made a small prayer . I thought I might have done some good punya in my previous birth for such love is
being bestowed by Lord and Laxmi devi . I decided I would serve all my life the lord and prayed for
inspiration to do so . I resolved many other things in my life to lead a pious life to justify myself for such
divine experience . But slowly I realised , my Parents and grand parents were famous for daily serving food
to atleast 150 people in their hay days , My gotra Mudgal rishi himself was known to be famous for
annadana , perhaps being born in his lineage , I had inherited this punya to get such a closer darshan of
Lord each and everytime . I was also afraid , whether this would end next time , or I was getting attached to
this special treatment , but would that not mean I am overestimating myself ,me and mine [ I remembered
Purandar dasa song , "Garva yatako ninage PAmara manuja ........."] , OH leave it . Let me be a simple
devotee of Lord .

Mystical experiences at Tirupati continues....

Few years later I decided to again visit the Lord VEnkataramana . This time I reached Tirupati by 11 am.
[ for those who do not know ; Tirumala is hill top ,where Lord 's Standing to bless us and Tirupati is
foothill ,a bustling city , a bus has to be boarded to to go atop for daraan , at any given point of time daily
estimated 2 lakh gather atop and and at foothills and estimated 60000 take darshan everyday ,that leaves
few seconds of darshan for each after gruelling 5-6 hours of standing in queue for special darshan and full 24
hours in general queue ,this was way back ]
But on that day rush was unusual , the bus stand below itself was so full with people that a ticket way up
could be bought only after standing in a queue for 5 hours ,and then after taking the ticket the bus to be
boarded would be allocated after 1 hour , you reach Tirumala after another hour and then Darshan delayed
for another day. But I had a return reservation the next day . So me trying to stand in the queue was ruled
out as that would mean I would be missing my train back.
Oh Venkatesha ! Wont I be able to have your darshan Atop As I was thinking this I , started reciting
Venkatesha Srotra . Just as I finished " RAja dware pathed Ghore Sangrame ripusankate " , Who is Raja , Oh
Lord You are the only King for me , mortals dont' make sense as Kings in its true spirit . Raja dware . I am at
your doorstep , please Let me in !!!
As I was in these thoughts , a Very plush[posh] car came by , a man in early thirty's opened the door , asked
me " hey We are only three people in this car , and going for Darshan atop for the Lord , although this car is
our own we plan take somebody smart with us , would you mind joining us "
Oh what a chance ! , I jumped at the offer and got onto a rear seat of the Mercedes . Inside the three people
seemed quiet educated and all in early thirty's and well settled People . I was an unemployed youth .After
the initial introduction , two of them gave introduction as a GM in two of the best MNC 's in the country , for
the third they dismissed him off as a big shot known to them . Both were unmarried , one was a quite shy
person and other was a over and over flirt . They used to stop at every sight of young lass and he would get
down and try to have a chat with her , nearly successful everytime , and as he came back he would make fun
of the shy guy and show off his charming prowess . I dismissed it as saying you are in chandra dasa , it is
usual to have such success with woman , but you would not be successful to people opposite to your dasa and
rasi . HE dismissed my logic as just dogmatic view , I asked him take a bet , If he could get away with ease
with the girl I show , I would walk up the hill , and I serially showed him girls opposite to his nature , and his
every attempt was thwarted with either a slap or warning ,after eight attempts he admitted " either his charm
has lost or what was saying made sense " I said the second is more correct , as his dasa was intact , to prove
my point , I showed a beautiful girl , and asked the shy One to go and just approach her , he was very
reluctant " the smarter one having eight slaps had an adverse effect on him , But everybody forced him out of
the car " As he approached her , it so happened they talked for pretty 15 minutes and refused to leave each
others company till we had to horn back " { later they married } . By now all the three were very much
impressed by my analysis , and asked me many questions about their future .
Slowly we reached Tirumala . I got down and thanked them and asked permission to move about my way
towards darshan . They held my hand and said , " hey we have come all together we will have darshan also
together " Then as All three came out of the CAR a big team clad in white came Hurriedly towards us and
whisked us away , they also pointed to me , and I was also included in the convoy , And within minutes we
were in garbha gudi and I had exclusive VIP Darshan .
"Except Gratitude and indebtedness that Lord took serious note of my words , my questions ,Truly oh Lord
you are the King of this universe .As even this second time you made me feel special as You are very special
to me , I bow before you with reverence and gratitude , and OH lord let not pride and dambhikta creep into
me as I see you divine face and lotus feet , Venkatesha , let my Bhakti grow stronger and stronger and may
you call me year after year this way "
As I came out wondering who among us was VVIP , I was introduced to the third Person in the car by the
other two , who was just smiling at me all the while [ HE was son of the personal friend of then PM ] . and I
came back along with them with lots of gifts and cards invitations to the station well before my return
journey time .

Mystical experiences at Tirupati

My trips to Timmappa did not start till I graduated . It was fear of seven and half saturn that made me first
make up my mind to go to Tirupati. Just as the day on which my seven and half saturn [sade sati] started,
the same morning I was in Tirupati early 4.30am . Well bathed ,I was standing at the gates of speacial
darshan Vaikuntham about to enter ,[this was my first trip as an adult independently] , A temple employee
came up to me , asked whether I have enough time with me , whether I could spend time till evening in he
temple premises? As I had no other work I replied in affirmative .
Then the temple employee said " follow me". I asked where ? he said " we need witness " . For what " For
counting of the amount in the HUndi " . It was interesting , I just followed quietly , Slowly I was taken to a
room which had cameras all over and like a cage , inside it were variety of boxes ,steel filters etc . There were
few khakhi clad people and few archaka and few accountants . One of the officers asked me to sign the
register with my name and identity . Then One of the archakas took me to the garbhagudi [ the sanctum
sanctorium where LOrd Tirupati BALAJI stands ] via a a backdoor ,the entrance through which main preist
enters . They closed the curtain , the door of the garbha griha was closed . All the devotees were made to wait
outside ,[ Darshan was closed for others ] NOw it was a exhilarating moment in my life , I the main priest
and one more to do aarti were the only people in the room before LOrd TIrupati Venkataraman ] A grand
pooja was made , tulasi archana was done LORD was decorated with Flowers , Then he was bejeweled with
ALANKAR and then a grand aarti took place for nearly 20 minutes I was standing before LOrd
VEnkateshwara all alone gazing at him , the beauty which two eyes could never capture , the smile that gives
immense peace to the beholder , the lord in his all majesty was just not enough to take eyes off or think
anything else . WHen after aarti , I was asked to go back to the counting session ,I could not think how lucky
I am to have started my day with a experience which perhaps could not have been accorded to most
influential or wealthy , here I a humble Bramhin , my Lord had called me so close to him . It enhanced the
bhakti in me , I felt earlier that Tirupati was the place only where rich and wealthy have their way the poor
always spends days to see the Lord . BUT I was wrong , if you love God ardently , he calls you very close .
But I could not believe my luck still , as archaka took me to the counting room it was six am . The bags
[hundi coins] were poured in the steel filters , and only five rupees coins filtered out , there were few
accountants counting them , I was told to keep a watch on them , as cameras above were moving , Another
filtered only two Rs coins ,some filtered only one rupee coins . The whole lot were counted as the counting
completed of the coins , it was noted and shown to me , I had to sign each register after making across
check .
Then Notes [currency bills] were counted , Then Gold and diamonds were separated , jewelleries and biscuits
and slabs were separated , everything was weighed , All were noted down , by the time ordeal finished it was
11 am , a pretty five hours grinding inspection . The total was 43.237 lakhs of rupees and etc , and 20 kgs of
gold silver and other articles . I signed the register . and As I was about to leave , Archaka held my hand ,
took me back to the Temple garbhagriha , all doors were close again and Darshan was stopped . The curtain
closed , and agin for another 10 minutes I had a eyes full of Darshan , Archaka asked me whether I was
satisfied , I smiled , [ CAN we have enough of NArayana] , He took me to the bhojanshala , I had a
sumptuous pulivogare , pongal , vada and curd rice , sweets . then the Archaka handed over to me a a loadfull
of laddos and vadas in a plastic bag . He bid me adieu till the gates of the temple .
I was out of the temple by 12 .30 am .
This was my first day of Sade sati [ seven and half saturn ] Aye , saturn is not that bad man ' I said to myself
' . I thanked saturn to give one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life . THe more I think of it the
more I fall at the lotus feet of VEnkataramana .
Bharatiramana Mukhyapranantargata Laxmi Venkatesha supreeto bhava .
BUt this was not the only time , believe me dear friends ,Lord always gave me a unique experience
whenever I went to Lord's abode Tirumala Tirupati . more in next posts .

Mantralayam - The Mystique

I had very special inclination to rayaru [ i bet everyone has] , with every opportunity available I used to run
away to Mantralayam even as we were living central India . In the earlier such visits I found I was slowly
accomplishing everything i desired for during childhood ,just by chanting the name of Raghavendra Swamy .
Rayaru was Kalpavruksha [ celestial tree that grants everything] for me .Mantralayam became a mystique
place for me . The mysticism grew as I grew up . But suddenly all that changed , I no longer wished for
material aspirations . This was strange , though I knew , I could get it by a mere chant , something in me was
not allowing me to go for such practise.
This maddened me . Events were worsening day by day with some hard fought days approaching , but mind
was not chanting for desires but instead chants became more intense . I thought perhaps this was effect of
Bhagvadgeeta recital . Then I rushed to Mantralayam again . But this time I was not able to even perform
seva , my mind wandering , all I could do was visit the local library and read the granthas , upanishad
vyakhyanas . BUT my answer to the question as to why i am unable to make a sankalpa of ishta siddhi and
chant the rayaru japa?
I asked a local scholar , can we really make kamya japa for Rayaru ? The scholar said , nishkaam karma is for
the viraktas , for the normal one must employ kamya karma . Moreover , if you need something , don't you
ask your father with right . and would you feel it as runa onto your Father ! NO ! thus Rayaru is the father
Figure , there is nothing wrong in asking him your desires.
BUT as I make a sankalpa , rayara dhyana becomes an impossibility ! whats wortha chant without a dhyana.
But why am I not able to retain Rayaru dhyana moorthy . HAve I lost ishta siddhi , BUt when without desires
, i chanted rayaru dhyana was a spashta , but at the same time new shastras became clearer and clearer .
Slowly I forgot ishtakamya prapti .
Then years passed by seva concept gave way to intense dhyana , no more My body would long for dehik
seva , i spent most of the time in japa at tunga teera .
thirdly as I gazed at people around me i found even normal guys who did not have formal education seemed
more rich in aura . the canteen guy was also nearly radiant .
I had kept all this thoughts very near to my heart , but One day i could not help but asked my guruji , what
was all this about ?
My guruji said , this is a common experience for all the people [sadhakas ] , Rayaru grants wishes in the
initial phases with rapid frequency and slowly the phenomenon stops . why?...........[ next post]
Then he showed me many characters around , one was a staying in mantralayam for 12 years to accomplish
something , he had come years ago with a resolution that he would achieve something but 12 years gone by
,he could not ............... [ the reason will be given in next astro blogs] .
Someone was practising 11 namaskara for five years , would not leave mantralayam, then there was a IAS
officer retired , he had permanently settled down in mantralayam while on some quest . Many seers
expressed sadness at non darshan of Rayaru even in dreams , whereas roadside people claimed they had a
divine vision .
One couple had come to Mantralayam for a short visit , and in the after noon after a nap after sumptuous
meals , hurriedly went towards the railway station , the train was about to leave back to mumbai , i was also
along with them . we were helplessly watching the train speed away before us . Loss of ticket price and a
overnight stay all were disheartening, Just then a the canteen bramhin boy came by[ he seemed little
retarded ], laughing at us , said " raise your hands call back the train , say raghavendra raghavendra! , your
train will come back " The couple standing were gave him a wierd look , sad as they were , this was becoming
another tease . The boy did not give up . he forcefully took the hands of male among the couple ,raised it and
shouted jumping , "Raghavendra Raghavendra ! " the man too hushed Raghavendra Raghavendra ! , and lo
the train was coming back in reverse gear after full fifteen minutes of departures , The driver and lineman
,gangmen all started fighting among themselves for having forgotten to halt for watering .[ Incidentally
Mantralayam is a watering station , though officially the stoppage is less , under the pretext of watering
trains stop unduly for long time ] .
ANd when we looked back the boy had left hurriedly , we could reach mumbai on same reservation. On my
journey back next time I made it a point to inspect this boy and his day today activities . I asked my guruji
what rendered this guy [ retarded ] so much aura . My guruji showed me early morning at 4 am this boy
sincerely reciting vishnusahasra nama fills the tanks of the locals with a pitcher , thats his lively hood , but
reciting vishnusahasra naama , while performing duties for livelihood . He cannot be a normal person.
Gopaldasaru has declared this place MAntralayam is easy for achieving siddhi . Here one need not perform
full scale shraddha to pitrus , even if one says " oh father I give this to you and leaves something in
Tungabhadra , reaches the manes just like gaya" Devatas reside in this vicinity .
Second I was introduced to a shopkeeper , who could just by waving his hands in air could tell which part
was affected medically ,or was about to get affected, He had mastered pranic healing , he waved from a
distant of 10 ft at my uncle and said your heart has blockage , my uncle laughed it out . 10 days later he
suffered a severe stroke [but survived ] .
This uneducated shopkeeper , how could he master this art , he waved his hands at my body , he declared I
was suffering from abhichara , but since i had no desires in the heart , my vishudha and anahat were clean
rest all were disturbed . had i nurtured any desires I would have become insane by disturbed anahat and
vishudha .
This was real shocker I refused to believe it .But my guruji agreed with the shopkeeper . BUt guruji , I recite
so many mantras ,vayustuti , how come this happen to me. Because you do the abhichara has not entered
your body it is revolving around you . " declared my guruji .
Then I said " i cannot take this like this , i need to inspect , if there is abhichara ,then what is the medium ?"
My guruji told lets go to his guru , we went to archaka of Panchamukhi [ a octogenarian spiritual master] .
My guruji requested him to dispel my thoughts . The master smiled , he told I recite a mantra , holding your
hand in my hand , I am clean of abhichara , you are carrying abhichara dosha , so my mantra will pull it
towards me , the dosha will try to get away from me . so you will experience a jerk . if you get a jerk or a
shock , you are affected , else you are not .
I was a 28 years age well built man, he had crossed 80 so normally he could not pull me physically was a
foregone conclusion . But as he recited mantra , i fell pretty 15 feet away in the meanwhile pulling the aged
master along with me .
So it was confirmed I had the dosha , but what was the medium , from where did it originate , but who were
my enemies ?
An astrological chart was cast , the chart showed the medium was on my body , the origin was in Egypt . now
what was the medium on my body , the only thing I was wearing was a gold watch gifted to me as a part of
business deal. The master asked me to remove it , he held it in his hands ,it started jumping in air , then we
decided it to put it in the rayaru hundi .
Meanwhile Rayaru restored my ishtasidhdhi and kamyasadhana . I went on to learn more and more things
with every seva i continued at MAntralayam . But mysticism too continued with unravelling mystery .

Paramhansa
The Rajhamsa is a bird , which has a very peculiar quality rejecting the impure and accepting the only pure.
For example if milk mixed with water is given to it , it drinks the milk and water filters out through its ears
[ this is a popular thought although not witnessed in recent times as such birds are extinct now a days].
SImilarly in this world our karma is like a milk mixed with water ,
milk is that which is intended by Lord , water that which is enshrouded by our desires .
Milk is the prarabdha tatva of the karma and water is the agami karma .
Milk is the pramatma gyana and water is the jad karma .
MIlk is the knowledge in the karma and water is the attachement that comes with the karma.
The Yogi who can absorb the paramatma tatva and leaves out the d tatva like Hansakshir nyaya is entitled to
be known as PARAMHANSA .Such people do not have any karma lepa and are aparokshagyanis . ONly such
people should ascend the peeth for sanyansa ,then they can be rightly called , VEdanta samrajya Chakravarti

Go Bramhanebhyo shubham bhavatu

All are not entitled to learn by reading or meditating on various subjects. Some meditate and learn , some
read and learn , some learn from the mouth of bramhins. a larger chunk has to learn from the mouth of
bramhins . In other words , some can know things by themselves and others need some one to explain things
to understand. Only bramhins are teachers and hence Bramhins if always in good condition and in swath
avastha there will be braodcast of truth and Vedic literature .As after the thorough listening to shastras one
needs to practice it and feel closer to God , God has kept his chal moorthy[ movable icons ] in a cow. Thus
worshipping cow will be akin to worshiping all the dieties . Thus welfare of bramhins and cows ensures

Aidhmandhwit
Lord Krishna reduces the excess punya of his devotees . For this he is glorified in vedas as Aidhmandhwit.
EXcess punya , ie punya accrued more than the capacity of a soul ,is an hinderance to the soul to attain
moksha. Thus this excess punya has to be either exhausted by enjoying it . or destroyed by uncanny karma.
[ enjoyments will naturally be those that are not befitting the grade of the soul ,thus he has to enjoy greater
happiness, which he is not entitled to, or sin in a manner not fit to his status.
Example:
1.
BAlaram being always in inebriated condition and commanding SHri KRishna . As Laxman he had
done excess punya of serving RAm , now that has to be reduced by calling commanding Krishna
and at times being unhappy with him , going against him during Subhadra marraige.etc
2.
Karna siding with duryodhana and abusing pandavas , facing failure in every thing he undertook .
As Sugreeva he had done excess punya and thus sided opposite Krishna to reduce it .
3.
Sugreeva enjoying Tara on account of excess punya.
4.
Gautam Losing his punya by cursing INdra
5.
MAndhat losing his punya by cursing YAma to become sudra , Yama takes birth as Vidur .

Urdhwapundra
Urdhwapundra has to be worn bottom up . If one aspires to go to abodes above , he must prctise the
urdhwapundra dharan. Wearing vertical pundras with gopi chandana ensures ,aatmashakti to flow upwards.
Tiryag jantu are born tiryak and hence they wander laterally .tiryak means lateral . lateral are born animals
and their movement is lateral . Men are born downwards and hence all their acts involve use of energy
downwards and lose the shakti and go downwards towards hell.
thus those who aspire to go upwards to heavens and moksha should wear urdhwapundra , so says nardiya
purana , vadhul smruti . In bhagvat it is mentioned gopis use gomaya to apply punda to krishna after putana
samhara.
Pundra can be worn by soil ,gandha[sandal paste], bhasma and water.soil means gopichandana etc , gandha
is applied during festivals or while dining, bhasma is applied during homas , it is homa sesha and not
ordinary bhasma . water is to be applied when taking bath in holy rivers etc.

Digbandhan
Vyahruti is the best digbandhan mantra . Everywhere there are demons and bhutas whose very job is to put
some obstacles into good karma . Thus while japa these attack from all the ten sides.Sadhak has to protect
himself from these ,else his pooja phal is drainedout by these forces.
how does digbandhan work? Narayan panditacharya in his Yogdipika says , every one has a nrasimha agni
in his palms. By clapping thrice this agni is lit and intensifies . Then flames of this agni is used to dispel
negative forces by clasping middle finger and thumb , the noise generated by clasp , aggravates the flames of
this agni and with astra mudra we can drive away the negative forces and sit calmly in japa or sadhana.

Krishna as Sarathi
The mahabharath is the war of senses on behalf of virtues and vices.KAuravas are vices [sins] and pandavas
army is set of virtues[punya] . Bheeshma ,Drona ,Kripa ,pandavas etc are all senses . There is great friction
that arises in this war that a man [soul] faces everyday.Lord does not interfere directly in this process . Yet
he guides the sadhana of the soul [ Arjun] as charioteer seated in the chariot named life. Krishna is
pandavpakshapati [ favoured towards pandavas] HE aspires destruction of kauravas [sins , agyana,vipareet
gyana] and leads to Moksha.As krishna does not interact directly we see many a times illusions and sadness
in our life. We can overcome them only by abiding by him in our sadhana . ie keep faith in his sarathya. That
means as krishna drives our chariot ,he is liable to take us anywhere according to his wishes. We must never
doubt his intentions as to where he will take us and keep complete faith him that he will lead us out of
darkness . At no time should we feel we are commanding him because as sarathi he should take us to the
place of our choice as well . But do we know the right destination. If we start assuming our independence
over him ,it is a folly and leads to destruction like duryodhan and his brothers.But if we totally surrender to
him like Arjun , we will win the war of senses and rein supreme with dharma on our side .

LABELS: KRISHNA
Maryada Purushottam Ram

Bhagwaan Ramchandra , the son of Dasharath ,the very God has enacted many leelas [ acts that creat
illusions in the minds of people] . All through the avatara Lord illustrated how a ideal human should live a
life .Though he remained as simple as manushya , people extoled him as Maryada Purushottam
Ram .Contrarily in Krishnaavatara however Lord showed his prowess as divine people dismissed him as just
a Kshatriya or Yadav.
Yet certain incidents in Ramayana clearly depicted his divine nature
1.
Vishwamitra asking Dasharath to send Ram to kill the rakshas [ These rakshasas could not be killed
by Dasharath or any other kings nor could they be destroyed by the curse of Vishwamitra ]
2.
Breaking Shiva Dhanush [ The whole world could not even lift the dhanush , but mere touch of Ram
broke the bow]
3.
Fight ensuing between Parshuram and RAM [ both are vishnu ] they appeared to be different and
fought to create illusion.
Because , once there was a demon named Atul ,he completed great penance and asked
Bramha a boon that he wants to pervade the entire universe. As only Lord Vishnu alone
can pervade entire universe , Bramha asked him to stay in a PArshuram's stomach . But he
could pervade entire universe only till he does not think Vishnu as seperate from himself.
ie There is no difference between Vishnu and his avataras and there is no difference
among avataras as well .
As fight ensued between the Parshuraam and Ram , Parshuram enacted to be very angry
with Ram as he was Kshatriya and also he broke the Shiva Dhanush which was given by
Parshuram .
But Ram seemed to vanquish Parshuram and as astras flew towards Parshuram and
Parshuram showed himself weak against it , Atul inside starteed fearing for his life and
contemplated that Parshuram was different from Ram and he would die if any astra hits
Parshuram.This contemplation killed Atul and put a stop to his allpervasiveness.
4.
Accepting exile on Father's words rejecting coronation
5.
Relieving Ahalya from the curse of Gautam by mere touch of his toe.[ clearly divine]
Not only Ahalya had shap vimochan ,this was simply not enough ; Gautam had cursed her
in anger , she needed her husband's love and affection too mere restoration of body was
not enough . {INDRA particularly had requested to restore love and affection between the
couples]
Story goes , in olden days all the men and women were born equally beautiful and had
same features common and equal . Thus there was no jealousy or misery owing to
possession of beauty.
Bramha once insoected all the creatures looking alike , he felt bored and created a
uniquely beautiful woman called Ahalya . everyone was amused by this new beauty and
were secretly hoping to marry her.
Bramha after long thought called upon Gaitam to look after his new creation carefully till
he finalises on the groom for her.Gautam took care of his new guest but never lusted her .
Impressed by the Gautam's dedication and indriya nigraha , Bramha gave her in marriage
to Gautam .
Gautam had amassed a lot of punya by that time , this would hamper his chances of
gaining Mukti . Those who have excess punya have to lose their punya either by giving
away the punya or losing it by misdeeds.
Indra hoping to bestow mercy on Gautam , planned to annoy him , he induced feeling of
having enjoyed Ahalya in Gautam in wee hours , when he appeared in the guise of Gautam
leaving his house.
Gautam cursed Indra to have multiple eyes all over his body .
Gautam cursed Ahalya [ who had not defaulted at all] to be a stone .
GAutam lost interest in the world and went away to forest for penance.
Gautam had lost his punya by cursing elders like INDRA.
Indra though not at fault had indeed felt bad for Gautam and recommended Ram to
restore love between the couples.[ love between the couples is not a independent feature of
humans , even this is also dependent on God], if God wishes two people can always be
locked in love]
But past incidents can disturb this peace and loving disposition , so INdra asked Lord Ram
to give Gautam a vismarana [ forgeting ;selective amnesia] about this incident.
This incident shows how merciful lord Ram is !!!!
6.
Using RAM BANA on a crow because it hurt his wife Seeta on the breast.
7.
Running after Golden deer [ even though everyone knows such a deer does not exist ] and weeping
for Seeta [ abducted]
There were few rakshasa who had done great tapasya and asked Bramha that they wanted
to achieve Moksha .
Bramha granted they will achieve their goals only when they do not assume seperation
[VIYOGA] between LAxmi and Vishnu
Laxmi Vishnu are AVIYOGI according to the VEDAS . LAxmi always resides on the chest
of NARAYANA as mole named Srivatsa ! Both Laxmi And Vishnu are equal in space as
they occupy every part of the universe and space [ both vyakta and avyakta AKAASHA]
Thus Laxmi and Vishnu are never seperated from each other ;
Thus Narayana is known as SRIDHAR and Laxmi is known as AMBHRANI as they are
never for a moment without each other's company.
Thus even when Ravan took [sitakruti] , seetha was still with RAM as Srivatsa .
Ram never missed his wife , but he enacted as a grief stricken man asking trees and clouds
and lakes about the whereabouts of his wife Seeta.
This generated the doubt in the minds of the demons that Ram and seeta had seperated
and they were not divine but mere humans who cry at mere separations and long for
union. This thought entitled these demons perish from the path of moksha .
8.
Hitting Dundhubhi with toe touch;
9.
Piercing seven zigzag Tad Vrakshas with one arrow
10. Sitting before the Ocean to ask for a way .

11. Showing anger on the ocean to dry up if not appeared .
12. Building a bridge [ every stone scribed RAM floated on the water]
All the monkeys were writing RAM on the stones and it floated on the water to be
cemented for the bridge.
Looking at this RAM lord took one stone and threw it the ocean , it sank .
STrange , you write his name ,it has a power to float ,but he himself throws it does not
float
some say RAM naam is more powerful than RAM
This is faulty thinking .
Hanuman explains : BY taking the name of RAM we can float in the ocean named samsara
[ jeevan maran] and reach the shore named Moksha [ Vaikuntha]; But if ,such lord Ram
himself leaves his hand [support] onto us , then we are sure to be drowned in this samsara
without recourse. Thus one must always engage in RAM NAMA!!!
13. Making a saashtanga Namaskara to Ravana
RAvana was a bramhin and learned , Lord made sashtanga namaskara to illustrate ,all
bramhins are respectable irrespective of nature.
When elders make a sashtanga to the lesser ones , their longevity is reduced .
Ram the lord is the greatest GOD , ravana is a mere soul , only GOD has right to the
namaskar , thus by this namaskar Ravans punya was absorbed by the lord and his
longevity nullified .
14. War with Ravana
Ravana with the boon of bramha had 10 to the power of 32 clones equally
powerfull as Ravan hidden in a cave.
They all came out of the cave and ran towards the Lord RAM to attack him
RAM seemed to be still without movement ,yet all the clones of RAVAN died one after the
other with arrows even before they emerged from the cave
Hanuman explains ; RAM was so fast in leaving arrows that it defied persistence of vision ,
thus he appeared still , yet within 1/10 of the second he applied crores of arrows to kill
100000000.............00000(32 zeros) in few minutes.Yet he appeared to others as if he was
still doing nothing.
15. Agni PAriksha :
Ravana had never abducted real seeta he had abducted Seetakrutii ,enacted by INdra and
Agni [ with Vedavati as instrumental Seeta].
HAving accepted it Ram would have accepted a different woman .
Thus Agnipariksha was enacted to exchange it with original seeta who was his Wife .
Had Laxmidevi [ Seeta ] were to be in Lanka , Lanka would never have vanquished or
Ravan would never have been defeated . Where there is Laxmi[ jaya laxmi ,vijayalaxmi etc]
there cannot be defeat and misfortunes. Thus LAxmi could not have been abducted by
Ravan to face misfortune.
Ram with Seeta ruled Ayodhya for 13000 years.RamRajya.
!!Ram rameti rame raame manorame sahasra naam tulyam tannamparanane!!
Let sri MoolRama bless all of us on this auspicious day of RAMNAVAMI .

AN INQUIRY INTO CREATOR AND HIS CREATION

SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 2011

Rice should be washed thrice or four times before cooking .

It should be then taken in another vessel and cooked by poring water.

Shraddha cooking if done by daughter in law , it is liked by the pitrus .

The vessels to be kept before naivedya should be kept on a mandala square .

salt should be served on left

curries of vegetables on the front .

bhakshya bhojya on the left .

no each dish should each other while serving .

tur daal preparation is good for devata karya

udid daal for pitru karya .

moong daal specially for pitru karya .

Ravanasur attained siddhi through tapasya .

He acquired all the astras ,including Bramhastra .

He taught it to his son Indrajit as well .

Ravanasur was a ordinary soul .

He lost his bramhacharya by forcing several women of sevaral lokas .

Yet he did not lose his siddhi or capability to discharge astras .

All the astras were acquired by pure learning and Guruupadesha .

Ashwaththama was verily lord Shiva a great soul .

Ahwaththama had never in actual lost bramhacharya .

Yet he could not discharge Bramhastra

owing to loss of bramhacharya just by sankalpa

An attempt was made to abduct Vedmata .

the abduction was on account of deployment of deciet .

Hari deluded the attempt by deploying Seetakruti

Hari came to rescue after a year

An attempt was made to enslave Vedmata .

here too there was deployment of deciet .

hari deluded by providing inexhaustible supply of cover .

Hari came to immidiate rescue .
