13 Jul

Itiidam keertitam yasya Vishnoramitatejasah |trikale yahpaThennityam paapam tasya na vidyate ||

In the previous posts many of the qualities of Lord Srinivasa has been enumerated , with such qualities Srinivasa is amitatejasah ………infinitely radiant ……… Such Srinivasa if worshipped with the eight shlokas beginning with ” VENKATESHO VASUDEVAH …..” three times a day ,i.e morning , afternoon and evening at sunset ..everyday ……all the sins of a person will get destroyed and no new sins will touch him in future …..By the grace of LORD SRINIVASA …

rajadware paTethghore sangrame ripusankate | Bhutsarpapisachadi bhayam naasti kadachan||

rajadware – at the gates of palace of KING [ president  PM , BOSS , Interview , Officers , any other person of importance who would get the work done for us ]

ghore – dangerous ………

sangrame – during wars

ripusankate – when caught in between enemies , trapped by opponents .. in difficulties created by enemies ….

bhoot – goblin

sarpa – snakes

pisaach – spirits /zombies

aadi – all other such cruel creatures ……

bhayam – fear

naasti – does not occur

kadachana – never again

Note : This is a very important , time tested , shloka ……… it has a deeper impact when understood properly ………. EVeryone in their lifetimes become anxious about a probable high profile meeting , which may carry a life turning consequences …. it may be  a meeting with high profile minister for a businessman resulting in royal favours ..

it may be a hearing in a court for a favourable judgement ….

it may be a interview call for a probable job prospect …

it may be a board meeting /general body meeting for a favorable placement / response and applause ……..

it may be  a crucial appearance for a selection /audition etc

it may be a appraisal with a superior / boss/ professor  for a promotion / project submission /credits /PhD etc

it may be crucial meeting with PM or party president for a plum post  in cabinet …

In all such events , one becomes anxious /nervous when the D day arrives and especially at the gates / door of the premises of performance ……..

This extreme anxiety, fear  is difficult to curb .. sometimes it becomes impossible to overcome this syndrome …… most of the time this gives way to mental blockade and many people fail or underperform tilting under pressure , even though they are quiet capable / efficient intelligent and   deserving , they fail ………

REASON extreme anxiety and fear ……… One needs divine intervention to overcome this ………. SO all these are classified under the term  ” RAJADWARE “

so when in above situation known as Rajadware when one recites this Venkatesha stotra all this fears will vanish and never appear again ………..

[ there will be crores of madhvas who will vouch for this statement of mine , this need not be doubted even for a second ... and one should make it an habit to rceite this stotra at every meeting ]

2. Many of us have the habit of getting into troubles … especially when one is troubled with Ketu .. one gets entangled into dangers every now and then ,,,, fear is imminent in such circumstances ,,,,,,,,, all such events are known as ghore … and fears will vanish after reciting the shloka … ghore also indicates times as floods earthquake tsunami …volcanic eruptions ,,,, tornado …… hurricane ……famine …landslide .. breakdown of aircraft ship vehicles in unhabitated areas  .etc …  reciting stotra brings in instant relief …

3. sangrame – when a war breaks out  ……. both soldiers and citizens anxiety rises to a uncertain levels … an outcome of war cannot be predicted … a losing side ends up paying a heavy price …… your home is no longer yours … it is forcibly taken away by the invaders … your stable life [ business / family / employment ] everything gets disturbed .. for no fault of yours …. someone loses a war and you pay the price … your belongings are looted at gun point with external force … abuse of all sorts awaits a losing side … a loss may be even for a day …. [ next day your forces may recapture ] but that day is horrible ….  it shows how our stability is no stability at all ,,, how we all living in our own box of comfort …….. and think this is permanent and plan for  a great future  and even think our destiny is in our hands and we can create our fortunes [ all these looks good only in stable economy and stable kingdom , once destabilisation occurs one loses everything without misefforts --- and then one thinks yes there is something called destiny ]  forcible eviction from box of comfort is something one never anticipates or even thinks about … all such people  suffer at the hands of destiny …

a WAR is horrible in consequence … no efforts can save us from disaster ….. one man cannot change the events in a war … lest a common man is utterly helpless ,,..  fear is but very natural … THEN WHO IS THE SAVIOUR in such times ,,,,,

SRINIVASA ….. recite this stotram many times during such times ,,,,relief will come in a personal manner ……..

WAR also gives jitters to soldiers ,,. they first time realise that life is just a bullet away … all the near and  dears come to remembrance  …. but unhappiness nothing seem to strike the mind ,,, along with it fear of loss of life becomes paramount and misery of losing near and dear ones ….brings in extreme agony … all this leads to fear of starting war ….

ARJUN too felt jitters at the beginning of war  ……….

SRNIVASA stotra recitation will allay all such fears gives extreme bravery and peace …. it will also bring relief from ill effects of WAR .sangrame …

Ripu sankate – when caught in the grip of enemies …… it becomes extremely fearful moments …….. prisoner of war .. kidnapped persons …. ransom ……..blackmail …..detention ……… victims of secret enemies .. abhichara black magic ,,,,,,,,,, machiavelian traps ….. business rivalry ..  conspiracies ……….. chall kapat ……civil war …..racial attacks ..riots …… in all such situations .. every other person becomes enemy and is out to harm ……….

In all such situations there is no hope and  self efforts does not serve any useful or meaningful relief …… SRINIVASA alone helps in such situation just he helped DRAUPADI …….. reciting this stotram brings in that invaluable help  instantly ……. need not doubt an iota ……….. SRINIVASA is very merciful to those who recite this stotra daily ……

BHOOT SARPA PISACHADI ——– bhoot are the attendants of LORD SHIVA ……They are absolutely single minded … they only create havoc in the life of the people … some people continuously suffer at the hands of some family members as physical abuse ,,,, mental torture … or ill treatment or differential treatment … this also extends to office atmosphere or some premises …. People always feel  why a particular relationship is going sour or why the atmosphere on office is not conducive and why each day ends up with fight , unhappiness or some dissatisfaction ..

they never get an answer …… the answer is presence of bhootgana in the vicinity …. these are extremely hardhearted cruel creatures ,… as long as they exist there will be miseries …….They create extreme fear …. fear to face the abuse / torture /misery ..

sarpa – sarpa  snake is an extremely vengeance full creature …  any harm done to snakes in any life .. snake keeps on tormenting the offender , it does not even forgives once even after repeated repentance ………. this sarpa dosha gives rise to frequent failures …. loss of words at crucial juncture ,,,, failed marraiges ,,,, difficulties in every undertaking ……… nothing materialises ………… once life becomes a drudgery ……….

SArpa not knowing kindness , troubles endlessly and remotely invisibly …… driving person to low self esteem and fear of failure becomes manifested ,,,,,

PISACHA – all those who are buried after death ,,, whose sanskaar after death has not been performed properly ……… those whose shraddhas are not performed regularly … those who die with unfulfilled dreams ……. those who have unusual deaths …. become pisacha ………. These pisachas are extremely troubled themselves from hunger thirst and lust ..all the bodily feeling and needs trouble them but due to lack of body …. these constantly lookout for bodies , grab them and satisfy their hunger thirst and lust … the body of the person suffers unknown miseries and breakdowns ,,,,,,,,,,, pisachas do not have any tenderness or understanding they use the bodies with utmost disrespect ………. this causes extreme fear in the body …

There are many such beings like rakshasas , apsmara etc ……. who behave very brash with possession …….. These fears are very hard to remove ,…….. slowly victims lose life …. self esteem and disinterest in life ..   SRNIVASA stotra removes these fears once for all and they never appear again in ones life…………….

Aputro labhate putran nirdhano dhanvaan bhavet | rogarto muchyate rogatbadhdo muchyet bandhnaat ||

Those who do not have children …….. [ aputro ] they will beget child [ labahte putran ] nirdhano – those suffering from poverty or in dire need of money ….. will get money and become rich [ dhnavaan bhavet ] by reciting these stotram with devotion and faith …

Roagarto [ roga artah ] those who are suffering from diseases they cry in bewilderness as only they can understand their misery and pain .. this pain is individualistic and relative to the past sins ………. it becomes unbearable ………. reciting this stotram in such situations .. reduces the pain and gives relief and diseases also subside never to trouble again ……[ rogat muchyate ]

bhaddho – those who are languishing in jails [ undertrials / convicted ]  those who have been held in custody …….those who are undergoing judicial cases … they will be released from custody ……….  fear of jail will also be destroyed ……..by reciting this stotram daily ….

Yadyatishtatamam loke tattatprapnotyaasanshayah |Aishwaryam raajsanmanam bhuktimuktiphala pradam ||vishnorlokaikasopanam sarvadukhaika nashanam |sarvaaishwaryapradam nrunam sarvamangal karakam ||

Those who recite this shloka daily … they will

loke – In this world [ three worlds - swarga antariksha bhumi ]    ….. yatyat  – all that that — ishtatamam  —is most desired …. [utmost desires , even desires of highest kind .. impossible types but most ishta desirous ] ……….. tat tat- .….. all those those ……….. prapnoti -— will be fructify [ materialise attained  ] ……asanshayah - without doubt … do not even doubt it …….. your desires of imposible kind and yet most desirous in the three worlds  , it may not be just one desire ….. all that has been desired by the one who recites this daily …. [ man keeps desiring and probably everyone takes it for dejection that all desires may not be fulfilled ..] but madhvas who recite this stotra  daily … all those fortunate initiated into reciting this as daily part of their daily pooja …… can rest be assured that  , their every desire as they get up early in the morning and as life progresses ,,,,, however difficult , far fetched , impossible desires they may ……….. each and very such desires … and all such desires that prop up in future …… all those even if they are somewhere in other worlds too …. will be fulfilled without doubt ……… condition attached is recite the Venkatesh stotram three times a day …. everyday ……….and forget how it fructifies … just desire .. and lo it gets materialised …. SRINIVASA has one palm in vara mudra … he is here to grant wishes ……..

AISHWARYAM - prosperity wealth ………  RAajsanmanam – awards /recognitions /felicitations / academic excellence /trophies /world cup / championship / bharat ratna / padmashree / national awards /oscars /nobel prize / olympic medal / scholarships everything will be materialised …[aapnoti ]

Bhukti – all kinds of enjoyments of wealth vehicles house of material kind

mukti – relief from cycle of birth and death……..

phala – all such fruits

pradam – SRINIVASA gives …

 VISHNUH – NARAYANA …. LOKAIKAsopanam – vishnulok means VAIKUNTHA  eksopanam – to get into the VAIKUNTHA loka it is foremost step …….. reciting this stotra forms first foremost step in sadhana to reach vaikuntha …..

NRunam – for all humans ……….  SARVAAISHWARYAPradam ———- it gives all the wealth of various kinds [ yogaishwarya , sidhhaishwarya ,ashtaishwarya ] to the one who recites this stotra with devotion ……..

 Sarvadukhaiknashanam -  for all sorts of miseries , unhappiness , dissatisfactions , this stotra is foremost instrument of destruction ..

Sarvamangal karakam – All sorts of auspiciousness is brought in by this stotra …

In this world one desires … desires many things ……. things after things ……

even if desires are fulfilled … one is unhappy because of lack of qualities [ asihwarya ] even if they are there , there may be no dearth of good things ……. but still there may be miseries ………all these miseries arising out of sansaara will be destroyed ..

even if desires are fulfilled and no miseries exist ……… inauspiciousness may cause dissatisfaction … so this stotra brings more auspiciousness ,,,,,

All material benefits may be enjoyed .. fame may be enjoyed …….. desires may be manifested ……all auspicious may hit our perfect life .. but with death all ends …. BUT with this stotra even after death these remains intact as it gives relief from sansaara and places one at the pedestal of VAIKUNTHA ……….

 Mayavi parmanandam tyaktva Vaikunthamuttamam | swamipushkarniteere ramaya saha modate |

In sansaarvastha all the souls will have their svaroopananda covered by a sheath .. thus they are not able to realise true self happiness …When they reach Vaikuntha , this sheath is uncovered and all souls experience unrestricted free flowing their svaroopananda ……… Thus this VAIKUNTHA is known as Sarvottama loka …… VAIKUNTHAUTTAMAM …….[ in all other lokas this ananda is less and in Vaikuntha it is highest that is why it uttam loka because soul cannot find happiness of the kind in Vaikuntha in any of the other lokas .. in the least on earth .. ]

BUt Srinivasa NARAYANA has no constraint with respect to his ananda in any lokas ,,, In any lOka he may be He exhibits his ananda in a poorna  manner completely …..It neither reduces or increases with LOkas ….. Thus He can stay anywhere everywhere as per HIS wish [ MAYAVI ]… So For sometime LORD SRINIVASA decided to leave VAIKUNTHA [ VAikuntham TYAKTVA ] and stay for a while in SWAMIPUSHKARNI at VENKATACHALA  ….

Laxmidevi preconstruing the desire of the LORD [ a excellent wife construes her HUSBANDS' desires along with his contemplation ......... ] Now as LORD desired to stay in pushkarini on earth .. SHe too decided to LEAVE VAIKUNTHA [ in one form ] , to stay with her Husband .. so she took up a  dispute ……throwing wanton tantrum [ PREMA KALAHA ] over sage BHRIGU’s kick and left for earth ..

Now SRINIVAS is staying in PUSHKARINI teere …banks of SWAMIPUSHKARNI .. sporting [ modate ]along with [ Ramaya saha ] LAXMIDEVI [ one form  in his vakshsthala ... mole on chest srivatsavaksha ... and one form in invisible mode ] expressing his complete PARAMANANDA …as MAHALAXMI serves her LORD ……

Kalyanaadadbhutgatraya kaamitartha pradayine | Srimadvenkatnathaya srinivasaya te Namaha ||

Kalyan – auspicous  adbhut – full of surprising , spell bounding, ashcharyakar , gatraya – bodied …….. kamit – desired  …. arth – things 

pradayine – one who bestows …………..

Srimad venkatnathaya - the most fortunate and  full of wealth and mysteriously auspicious .. sarvasoubhagyadayak ……. Venkatachal — mount venkatachal … is being presided by SRINIVAS thus he is SRIMADVENKATNATHA …

SRINIVASAYA— Lord who is known in all the universe  by name SRINVASA Oh such Lord

Te-NAMAHA— Namaskaras to YOU ….

Oh LORD you have a APRAKRUT deha … Thus You are full of auspicous qualities and thus you are KALYANA …..such a body no other person has thus it is ascharya .. and ADBHUTGATRA …..  You grant all the boons to the devotees more than their expectation and satisfaction in this world and other world , in this birth and after death too … so you are KAMITARTHA PRADAYINE …  You are the presiding Deity [ worshipped in whole universe as SRINIVASA ] of VENKATACHALA and thus it has become very auspicious and fortunate for those who touch it or land on it ……. Thus  OH LORD  SRINIVASA  , namaskara to YOU ….

Venkatesha stotra -8

11 Jul

sarvadevaikasharanam sarvadevaikdaivatam | samastadeva kavacham sarvadeva shikhamani ||

sarvadevaiksharanam -  sarvadeva – for all deities [ Bramha shiva Indra etc ] ……..’ek’ HE Srinivasa  alone ………..’sharanam’ – is the protector and shelter ……..

when any of the devatas encounter trouble …. SRinivasa alone comes to their rescue and He alone is capable of relieving the dangers that befall even to DEvatas ……….All the Devatas too take his shelter and seek relief from their miseries …. hence Srinivasa is Sarvadevaika sharanam ……….

Sarvadevaikdaivatam – sarvadeva – for all deities , ‘ek’ He is chief ……….’daivatam ‘—- deity ……. All diety chiefly worship SRINIVASA as their kuladevta , ishtadevata ……

Samastadeva kavacham – kavach is the armour that  protects  the warriors from enemies and their weapons …For all deities [ samstadeva ] …….. Srnivasa is the KAvach that saves them from enemies and troubles …and protects them like a armour KAVACH .

Sarvadeva shikhamani – mani – is a precious stone …….  Shikha mani is one that is worn in the head … Shikhamani is accorded the highest respect , as it occupies the head …….crown …..

Head is the most important organ of the body …. it is considered most sacred and pious …..and is held in high esteem by everyone … the one which adorns the head is automatically more sacred and auspicious and revered to the owner of head …….  because head comes under the SHikhamani , it subordinates  the head the self .

Srinivasa’s feet are always sought after by the heads of the devotee , as they do namaskara [ bow and pay respects ] to the feet of LORd Srinivasa …..

The heads of the Deities constantly look forward to and are ever engaged in the namaskara to the feet of SRINIVASA and thus it is akin to the SHIKHAmani that adorns these heads of the deities .

SRINIVASA is hence SARVADEVASHIKAHAMANI .

note – next posts follows the phalashruti ……. ie the benefits of reciting this stotram ..

BHutavaso giravasah shrinivasah shriyah patih | achyutantgovindo vishnurvenkatnayakah ||

bhutavasa – bhut – all the living sentient and non sentient things in this world . ‘avasa’ -one who is shelter for  …. Lord srinivasa is shelter for the all the sentient and nonsentient [chetan and achetan , jeeva and jada vastus ] . H is home for all the universe …… He exists inside and outside the things and jeevas to hold it and give shelter to it …..protects it like homes give protection to us ……. hence he is Bhutavasa …

giravasa – ‘gira ‘  means all the vidyas , sciences and shastras ..’ avasa’ means shelter , Hari is shelter to all the sciences and vidyas , they reside in him to be fruitful …….. thus he is giravasa …

 Srinivasa -  Shree ‘ means LAXMIDEVI ,  ‘ nivasa ‘ one who lives with … Srinivas HARI is always coupled with LAXMIDEVI . Wherever HARi exists LAXMI devi also resides along with him there … there is no place in this universe where Both LAXMi NARAYANA are not found together  , they are desh kaal sama …

2. Where LAXMi sanidhi is not there there will be no Hari sannidhi … Where HARI does not reside LAXMi does not stay there at all ……..

3. Both are always together , they nitya aviyogi , they dont separate , so LAXMi devi deserted VISHNU and came down to earth and settled in KOLHAPUR etc are only for daitya mohan ,… Srinivasa always has the company of LAXMI devi forever eternally ..

shriyahpatih -  ‘shriyah ‘ LAXMIdevi  .. ‘patih ‘ husband ….. Husband is one who regulates the wife and hence as he does ‘ palan ‘ He is called patih .. NARAYAN regulates ie is palaka for LAXMIdevi also and hence HE is SHRIYAH PATI . Many feel as LAXMi devi also exists along with NARAYANA at all places so she must be equal to him … But As it is seen LAXMI devi does not regulate VISHNu but VISHNU regulates and protects LAXMI , thus shakta siddhanta that DURGA is actual Lokrakshak is refuted by this word SHRIYAH PATIH ………

 achyutanantgovinda- ‘  achyuta ‘ one who does not have loss of body or destruction of any kind …… thus no defects ……. ‘ ananta ‘ – one who is everywhere at all times in complete form with all complete infinite qualities …… ‘ ‘go’ means knowledge  ‘vinda’ who can be obtained …….. ie one who can be obtained by knowledge

 

Lord NARAYANA is completely defectless , he does not have defect ofbirth and death or destruction of any of his belongings or qualities or body … He is not affected by time , he exists at all times … at all places in complete form with complete qualities ……………. one who knows these qualities of LORD and meditates on them with knowledge and devotion gets him in the form of MOKSH  .

We jeevas have birth and death [ LORD NARAYANA PARMATMA has no birth and death ]……….

we jeeva live for certain period of time  we exist only for a limited period of time …..[ LORD PARMATMA exists at all times and at all places ]

we jeevas take birth and as a child have no qualities to exhibit … slowly we develop by learning and study and experience and finally we get some scope to exhibit our qualities and that too it may be incomplete there will be somewhere someone who would surpass us and fare better than us in that quality ,.,.,. also with time our quality and level of expertise decreses and fades out

[ for example  an actor loses his importance once he grows old ....... his beauty fades his saleability also give way and so also his fame declines and slowly with time people forget him ... noone remembers who was a great actor a hundred year ago ........... similarly a cricketer may not play at same level all through his career and after he becomes aged he may not even be able to lift his bat propely ... so also new cricketers will come and surpass his feats ............ all the qualities exhibited by jeevas are incomplete nd susceptible to destruction and varies in consistency  and they fade with time]

BUT PARMATMA exhibits his qualities at all times in a complete way without need for enhancements or improvements they are complete and infinite ….

So much difference exists between ATMA and PARAMATMA ………..

This knowledge of difference and HIS Supremacy over US if meditated with devotion only Then HE will be OBTAINED as BIMBA SAKSHATKARA and finally the MOKSHA . THERE IS NO OTHER WAY OTHER THAN THIS . THUS HE IS ACHYUTANANTGOVINDA .

VISHNUH’ -’VI’ MEANS  strength , ‘ sha’ means knowledge , happiness ,’ Nu’ means one who is embodiment ……

SRINIVASA is embodiment of strength knowledge and happiness , his body itself is made of knowledge and happiness and He is omnipotent and extremely strong and hence HE is known as VISHNU .

venkatnayaka  -  ‘ Ven means sins ,  ‘ kat’  burner  ie GYANIS [ those who burn their sins through knowledge and devootion ] Nayak – means presiding deity …. Srinivas is presiding deity . aradhya moorty , for all the GYANIs . those gyanis who burn their sins and those  who take their shelter , such peoples’ sins , with fire of GYANA gyanagni , Such a capacity comes to such gyanis only through NARAYANA whom they seek as nayaka .

Such extreme strength and capacity is exhibited by devotees and GYANIs like RAGHAVENDRA SWAMY etc .. SWAMIJI has demonstrated how he can destroy the sins of those who take his shelter [ shapanugraha shaktonyo raghavendrannavidyate ]…. Such a extraordinary power is accumulated y these gyanis because they seek NARAYANA and NARAYAN bestows such a strength to his devotee of uttama kind thus HE is venkatnayaka .

Srinidhih sarvabhtanaam bhayakrud bhayanashanah | sriramo raambadrashch bhavbhandaikamochakah ||

SRINIDHI -  ‘Shree’ means excessive wealth and prosperity , ‘nidhi’ means abode , ‘nidhi’ has a inexhaustive wealth in it . similarly Srinivasa is an abode to various kinds of wealth and affluence . Hence HE is Srinidhi …. this description,… is given to LORD to remove the misconception that HE had to borrow wealth from Kubera as loan and had to return it in 1000 years .. This is only  a delusion , Srinivas has inexhaustive wealth and prosperity .

Sarvabhutaanam bhayakrud -  sarva means all ‘ bhutanam ’ means souls , bhaya krud  means one who terrorises .

All the souls jeevas get terrorised at some stage or other . SHIva ran for his life during Bhasmasur episode . Indra ran from Swarga  and hid on earth on several occasions . Even Bramha who does not have fear , showed fear in the begining of universe seeing himself alone and not knowing what to do ? Lord appeared in the form of HAYAGREEVA and explained him the science of creation . Humans fear Rakshasa , rakshasas fear Devatas . So there is no one who was never terrorised ….. One who makes these souls terrified is SRINIVASA .

 BHAYANASHANA -  all such jeevas when terrified , it is SRINIVASA who removes the fear from these jeevas . SOmetimes HE directly removes the fear and sometimes through some uttama jeevi LIke VAYUDEVA he removes fear . Thus He is the one who destroys fear and terror in the minds of devotee and is known as bhayanashana .

 SRIRAMA -  Sri means SRIDEVI , the diety incharge of satva guna . “rama ’ means husband  . Srinivasa has SRIDEVI as his wife and hence HE is SRIRAAMA .

 RAAMABHADRA - Raama means  one who satisfies all the people . ‘Bhadra ’ means extremely auspicious person . SRINIVASA satisfies the desires of all the people and and is extremely auspicious GOD . Thus HE is RAAMABHADRA .

 BHAVABHANDHAIKA MOCHAKA- ‘ bhava’ means sansaara ,[ cycle of birth and death , this life ] ‘ bandha ’ means prison , binding ..IKA means alone ….. mochaka means one who releases . All the souls are bound in the cycle of birth and death called sansara . BRAMHA SHIVA INDRA all take birth and die . Thus all are subjected to imprisonment of sansaara . The prisoner cannot release himself from prison . The other prisoners also cannot release a prisoner from Prison . ALL the prisoners put together also cannot seek release . ONly one who is incharge of prison and is free from imprisonment can order such release . SRINIVASA is independent . and He alone is capable of releasing the jeevas from imprisonment of Sansaara and give MOKSHA .

Bramha , SHIVA , DURGA , SURYA , GANAPATY or any other imaginary  GOD cannot ensure MOKSHA , as all the mentioned above jeevas are themselves Prisoners , they cannot individually or collectively  give MOKSHA . SO HARI himself is alone mochaka ie BHAVA bandhaika Mochaka .

Those desiring MOKSHa should worship only SRINIVASA .

Venkatesha stotra -5 !

25 May

RAMANAATH -  Ramaa means LAXMI devi ,’ natha ’ means husband .  Ramaadevi is uttama superior among both women and men in this creation . SRINIVASA is husband to HER and hence superior to everyone in this creation . FOREVER LAXMIDEVI is nityamukta and SRINIVASA is her husband , wherever LORD marries other jeevi still only LAXMI sannidhaan qualifies them to be his consort so this RAMAANATH quality is forever there in HARI .

MAHIBHARTA -   mahi means bhudevi , mother earth , bharta means husband . LAxmidevi has three rupas , sri bhu durga . Among these rupas , bhudevi , has mahibharta Srinivasa as her husband and through her He protects all the jeeva and jada on the earth .

 BHUDHARA -   BHU MEANS  bhudevi , dhara means one who holds , All the beings in this creation are dependent on the support of BHU . Srinivasa supports this Bhu as ADIKURMA in the waters below patala . Thus he supports Bhu which in turn supports all the creatures.

PURUSHOTTAMA -   All the chetana [sentient ] beings are known as purush , uttama means superior . All the jeevas have prakrut deha [ boy made of primordial components] thus they have death as they leave the body as it decays with age . Thus they are all known as ‘KSHARAPURUSHA ” . LAXMi devi does not have decay or death thus SHe is known as ‘ AKSHARAPURUSHA ” , SRINIVASA is superior to even AKSHARA and thus HE is PURUSHOTTAMA .

CHOLAPUTRAPRIYA - chola means chola country [ tamilnadu ] , putra , son , a son who is fit to liberate the pitrus ancestors . priyah- one who has affection on such cholaputra .

King of chola had all the qualities of  a good son . Srinivasa was taking rest in the valmik . Bramha as a cow took shelter in the chola kings shed , and everyday used to milk the valmik where Srinivasa was sitting . everyday seeing no milk from the cow , the wife of the KING chided the cowherd , cowherd angry spied on the cow and found it pouring all the milk on the anthill. In anger he raised his axe to hit the cow , Immediately Srinivasa protected the cow by taking the hit on his head , and blood oozed out of it .

Cow went to darbar of the KING and asked for justice ,. King sent his men to seek the reason . They saw the anthill profusely bleeding , KING went and saw SRINIVASA , SRINIVASA cursed him to be a pisacha till end of the KALIYUGA , KING asked for his forgivance and thus donated DIAMOND crown in his MARRIAGE , and requested HARI to wear it every friday evening and during those time KING as pisachi would have extreme happiness and relief ,

Thus out of affection accepted the CROWN and thus HE is CHOLAPUTRAPRIYA .

SHANTA - Regulate the world one needs a calm mind , this shanta quality is extremely important for protecting the world . Thus SRINIVASA as he protects efficiently is parama SHANTA .

BRAHADIVARAPRADA -   In this world many rakshasa seek boons from devatas like BRAMHA SHIVA etc . But BRAMHA and others Seek boons from SRINIVASA . Just as others seek boons and be happy from BRAMHA and others , so Bramha and others become gretaer superior to rakshas , humans and all those who seek boons . BUt since Brahma himself seeks boons from HARI Srinivasa is sarvottama and BRAMHADIVARAPRADA .

24 May

SRIDHAR – SHREE means Laxmidevi , ‘Dhara’ one who has held . SRINIVASA has held sridevi in his chest as mole . The name of this mole is SRIVATSA . LAXMIDEVI is ever present in this mole thus HE is known SRIDHAR .

PUNDARIKAKSHA - ‘Pundareek ‘ means lotus . ‘aksha ‘ means eyes . One who has the eyes as beautiful as  lotus  is known as PUNDARIKAKSHA .

Sarvadevastutah – sarva deva  means all the devatas  ‘ stutah ‘ means one who is worshipped . Srinivasa is worshipped by all the deities . He is supreme .

HARI -  All the sins and enemies of HIS devotees get destroyed in complete and with roots . Thus Srinivasa is HARI .

SRINARSIMHA -  Sri means laxmi and NARSIMHA is avatara of half lion and human . So The form of NARSIMHA with LAXMIdevi on the lap is SRINARSIMHA . NARSIMHA that killed Hiranyakashipu is ugra narsimha and very huge and ferocious , But SRINIVASA has another small and shant swaroop of NARSIMHA which is accompanied by LAXMIDEVI and is always protecting HIS devotees . Hence he is SRINARSIMHA

MAHASIMHA - While killing Hiranyakashipu and also at the time of Pralaya SRINIVASA takes a huge form , as big as Bramhanda itself and destroys it and thus He is MAHASIMHA .

SUTRAKARA -  Srikrishna in geeta says , HE is supporting the entire universe and lokas and beings in it just as manis [ precious stones ] are held by the thread[ sutra ] in a necklace .  Thus HE is SUTRA akara , he supports like a sutra by bieng of the shape of sutra .

 PURATANAH -  This creation is full of JEEVA souls and JADA , various nonsentient things like mountains trees and rivers and ocean  . Of all these objects in creation , Srinivasa is the oldest . Bramha etc all the beings are born , HE is not born and hence exists since time immemorial and thus HE is PURATANA .

Shloka 3

Govindah – 1. ‘go’ means veda . ‘vindah’ means who can be known .

Vedas declare that only KRISHNA is known through Vedas , others do not hve this previlige . All the vedas essentially praise VISHNU . Hence SRINIVASA is GOVINDA one who can be known through vedas .

2. In Srikrishna avatar , Lord saved many cows , infact he looked after cow as cowherd . As Hari has protected her offspring , KAMDHENU the celestial cow poured/bathed  her milk over KRISHNA as KSHIRABHISHEKA . Thus SRINIVASA is known as GOVINDA .

3 .When BRAMHA was giving abhisheka of milk  everyday in the form of cow to SRINIVASA , the cowherd of CHOLA KING tried to hurt this cow , and VENKATESHA saved the cow . thus HE is GOVINDA , one who protects cow .

GOPATIH- ‘go ‘ means vidya [different branches of learnings ] ‘ patih ‘ adhipati incharge ,presiding deity . It is Lord alone who knows vedas completely and hence he alone is the adhipati of all the learning that is vidhyadhipati -GOPATI .

KRISHNA- even though He resides on the earth ,HE is full of complete happiness . He attracts the mind of all the devotees. VAYU and other deities when they take birth on earth or in their original form , they always have a ‘ prakrut ‘ body . a body made up of primordial elements [satva rajas tamas] but KRISHNA in avatara also does not take prakrut sharira and remains aprakrut , thus HE is free from blemishes and is ever happy at the same time gives utmost happiness to all thus HE is KRISHNA .In all the avataras HE shows many miracles and attracts the minds of the devotees towards HIM , thus also HE is known as KRISHNA .

KESHAVA – K means ‘ BRAMHA “  esha means RUDRA  , va means one who protects by giving boons . THUS SRINIVASA is KESHAVA as he protects both BRAMHA and SHIVA and is superior to them .

GARUDADHWAJ- GARUDA means the celestial PAKSHIRAJ , Dhwaj means flag . SRINIVASA went to AKASHRAJ ‘s kingdom on his vehicle GARUDA .and hence HE is GARUDADHWAJ .

VARAHA- vara means GREATEST , supreme , ” aha ” means one without defects . SRINIVASA is supreme and also does not have any defects thus HE is VARAHA . Also in VARAHA avatara HE has protected EARTH and stabilised it on his tusk . The great boar .

VAMANA- vamana means very short dwarf . To give back Kingdom to INDRA , HARI took very small rupa and took away Kingdom from BALI . VAMANA also means very beautiful .

NARAYANA – ‘ NARA ‘ means auspicious qualities , nara also means , knowledge , nara also means liberated ‘muktas’ . ‘ayana’ means one who is ashraya ,abode  [ the place where one can reside ] . NARAYANA is abode to auspicious qualities , He is embodiment of knowledge and residing place for MUKTAS , liberated soul .

‘ARA” means defects , ‘n’ means no defects , thus NARAYANA is not an abode to defects , he is defectless .

n ara means opposite of defects means only good qualities and abode of such infinite auspicious qualities is NARAYANA . anantakalyana guna poorna.

Nar means purush ie  man /soul , the knowledge about such nar is NAAR , ‘ ayana ‘ means marga ie way . The way of Knowledge leading to parampurush is NARAYANA himself . knowing HIM gives MOKSHA .

‘ara’ means death and birth cycle , absence of such cycle is NAAR , ‘ ayana ‘ is state such a state of freedom from cycle of birth and death is got from NARAYANA .

one who is full of defects is ‘arayana ‘ when we add ‘N ‘ to it it becomes who is not of any defects . NARAYANA .

NAR means one who does not get destroyed in pralaya . the waters that arise from HIM is known as NAAR . One who resides in such waters is NARAYANA . [ earlier we have seen PADMANABH swamy slept in YOGA NIDRA in pralayawaters ] .Before creation one who was in YOGNIDRA was NARAYANA himself , HE is none other than SRINIVASA .

ADHOKASHAJA – ‘aksh ‘ means Indriyas [ senses] . akshaj means the knowledge arising from the perception through senses . ADHOKSHAJ means one who is beyond the perception of senses .

SRINIVASA cannot be known by sense perception , SENSES are eyes ears nose tongue and skin , the perception through these can give rise to worldly knowledge . GOD SRINIVASA  cannot be seen , cannot be heard , smelt or tasted or felt through touch , thus HE is adhokshaj .

SRINIVASA though cannot be known through senses , HE should be known only through Shastras and vedas and through pramanas . One should not ask why I cannot see HIm , If GOD is there why I cannot feel HIM . Why He does not speak . In TIRUPATI Lord is standing in his NIJAROOPA only , it is aprakrut deha .Just our senses see HE is not made up of STONE , BUt he is made up of KNOWLEDGE and HAPPINESS . HE is gnyanaanandatmak deha as laid down in SHASTRAs .

Om shastrayonitvat OM . He should be known through VEDAS only .

Venkatesha Stotra-2 !

Shloka 2

Janardana -

Jan – one without the birth , ” Ardana” – One who destroys everyone .

Lord Srinivasa has been hailed as son of DEVAKi YASHODA , BAKULA etc . So BAkula etc have been praised as HIS mother , but HE never took birth FROM their womb or to be precise HE never stayed in their womb for nine months . BUT since he manifested in this world as their SON , He is mistaken to be born . In reality He is never BORN . Similarly He is destroyer but Himself does not get destroyed . He exists even in PRALAYA . Thus HE is JANARDANA

PADMANABHA – Padma – the lotus , Lotus of BRAMHANDA  ” Nabhi ” – navel , one who has navel of BRAMHANDA LOTUS .

During Pralaya NARAYANA went into YOGANIDRA , He broke his sleep [ enactment] as the end of PRALAYA approached . He created 23 Tatvas [ mahat , ahankara , manas , panchatanmatra , pancha gyanendriya , pancha karmendriya , panch bhuta ] total 23 elements . 24 th mool prakruti

He created Bramhanda with these tatvas [elements ] and then He created Avyakta Jala and made the Bramhanda float on it . then HE entered the BRAMHANDA and slept in YOGANIDRA for another 1000 deva mana years .At this point a lotus appeared from his NAVEL and This was of GOLDEN form like  a mini Bramhanda just like the one created by HARI earlier . [ a rupantara Bramhanda ]

CHATURMUKHA BRAMHA thus took birth in this BRAMHANDA LOTUS  . Thus SRINIVAS is known as PADMANABHA .

VENKATACHALAVASANAH – VENKATACHAL  means mount VENKATA [ sheshadri ]  ” vasanah” means made fit to be habitated by all .

Earlier this mount was ordinary . As LORD SRINIVASA  inhabitated , all the devatas , rishis , gandharvas ,and men Flocked towards this mountain to serve the LORD . Thus HE is venkatachalvasanah

SRISHTIKARTA – One who has created the UNIVERSE , usually BRAMHA is known as SRISHTI KARTA , but This BRAMHA himself came from the navel of SRINIVASA , which is known  by the word PADMANABH , the 23 elements responsible for BRAMHANDA did not come from BRAMHA but FROM VISHNU thus VISHNU is SRISHTIKARTA and not Chaturmukha BRAMHA .

JAGANNATHAH – JAGAT means world all the LOKAS , ” natha” meanly  BOSS LORD , YEJAMANA , Who is boss ? one who takes care , regulates and feeds is known as BOSS . one who creates and destroys need not neccessarily be BOSS . ie there is no such rule that one who creates be only the BOSS . THOUGH OX is the creator of the calf , yet GOPALA becomes the BOSS owner of the calf .Thus SRINIVASA feeds , regulates and takes care of this world HE is rakshak  , thus he is natha of this jagat . JAGANNATH.

MADHAV- Ma means Knowledge and proofs  , “dhav: ” means presiding deity . HARI is the chief purport of all the Knowledge and pramanas .Hari himself teaches the Knowledge to bramha and other devatas . He regulates all the shastras . He reveals all the science and literature . Thus HE is MADHAVA .

BHAKTAVATSALA – Bhakta – devotees , ” vatsala ” one who has special affinity . So SRINIVASA has a special affinity towards his devotees , LAXMIdevi is HIS foremost devotee and for her HE accepted PADMAVATI as his consort . Out of affection towards PRAHALAD , He gave  sadgati to JAYA [ HiRANYAKASHIPU ] even though he was his enemy . These are examples of his VATSALYA .

thus ends second shloka anuvada .

note ” BHAKTAVATSALA has a very special meaning .

Quiet a many times as astrologer we say ‘ such and such thing will happen ” then we say perform this pooja or worship this devata and you will see good

say someone asks , DO I HAVE A TRANSFER ?

Astrologer says NO .

Any remedies ?

Astrologer says Recite mangal antargata Bharati raman mukhyapranatargata Narsimha stotra etc .

immediately querist says , DOES this shows in my horoscope . that if I recite I will get transfer ?

If astrologer says YES , then if it is there then why did you say no transfer .

if astrologer says NO then what is the use of this remedy ?

So the answer to this is BHAKTAVATSALA . LORD is BHAKTAVATSALA , he has very special affection to devotees , so when worshiped with devotion , HE gives what is not there also ,. Because such a provision HE has made , people pray and worship HIM adore HIM and seek his blessings and grace . If there were no vatsalya then none would worship or seek remedies as fate would then be the only cruel outcome .

But because HARI is bhaktavatsala and sincere worship he turns the gravest of sins of devotees into punyakarya [ INDRA-AHALYA , Chandra-tara , mudgal - indrasena , sugreeva-tara  ] ,  He can turn events in the favour of devotee .So one must seek remedies with full confidence and faith as HARI is BHAKTAVATSALA . those who do remedies with half heart actually commit sins by doubting the VATSALYA of HARI and are liable to go to hell as well . infact performing remedies with full faith is itself an act of meditation on the bhaktavatsalya guna of HARI .

when one gets repeated realisation of  this vatsalya guna quality of HARI [ like PANDAVAS ] , one becomes steadfast in HARI devotion and astrology karma prarabdha ceases to have any fear in them . As they seek refuge in only HARI and his vatsalya . remember In the full sabha DRAUPADI was subjected to distress and yet she did not give curse to DURYODHANA and Others ,because She had extreme faith in VATSALYA quality of KRISHNA and only depended on HIM to rescue .

Infact entire Shastra is written , preached and displayed only to increase faith in the devotees that YES here is SRINIVASA bhaktavatsala , to save you from all the miseries , whether astro or no astro , HARI is always there to save so says sastro.

Bhagavata katha step by step introduces characters like PRAHALAD , DHRUVA , AJAMIDHA  VIBHEESHANA , UDDHAVA , PARIKSHITA only to show that whether you are  a sinner or a great religious exponent without the grace of HARI one cannot achieve MOKSHA , so everything lies in his GRACE and HE is bhaktavatsala to bestow shower his grace as we seek his blessing with devotion ,.

EVEN if AJAMIDHA had foregone his caste and duties He was resurrected with a single SHOUT of NARAYANA though intended towards his son named NARAYANA .

EVen though PRAHALADA was RAKSHASHA [ the clan which traditionally got slayed by HARI ] yet He achieved the status of highest devotee as He displayed unwaivering devotion towards NARSIMHA .

EVEN though DHRUVA was a small child [ people of his age would not even be considered as devotees ] yet HARI considered his plea and gave him the status of a STAR .

EVEN though MARKANDEYA was short of longevity , his sadhana of dwadashakshar with devotion made HARI bestow him deathlesness even during pralaya waters .

EVEN though DRAUPADI made the mistake of questioning her HUSBAND and demanded explanation disregarding his summon . HE saved her from the worst as she kept full faith on HIM .

EVEN though PARIKSHIT insulted the great bramhin yet HE was showered mukti that too in seven days of devotional SHRAVANA of BHAGAVAT .

EVEN though MADHAV lived a life of CHANDAAL though born as bramhin , He was relieved off his sin just by the Desire to VISIT Sheshadri and LORD himself became his SON in LAW again and again in every birth ,

WHAT can be said of your VATSALYA towards the devotees OH NARAYANA.

NANENA madideno VENKATARAMANA nee yenna kaye beko .

Venkatesha stotra – Bramhanda Purana !

16 May

!! 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 MADHAV’S 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 .

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.

AMITAVIKRAMA - Amit means infinite – which cannot be counted or estimated or computed , VIKRAMA means one who has parakrama , valour ,brilliance capacity . Lord Srinivasa has infinite capabilities , HE can create ,sustain and destroy the creation within seconds , with his will and just a mere thought . tHIS CANNOT BE  emulated by anyone and thus he creates infinite Bramhandas , sustains it and destroys just byb his ICHCHA .

SANKARSHANA - sam – means ,well, complete ,thoroughly etc , KARSHANA means to destroy or to reduce . LORD Srinivasa destroys everything completely . If we try to destroy something we can utmost make two or three pieces of a thing  , we cannot reduce things to its atomic particles . BUT HARI destroys this world complete with charachatmak jada to ANURUPA of moolaprakruti . This sanhaar shakti is with only GOD NARAYANA and thus he is Sankarshana and Our SRINIVASA is known as SANKARSHANAas HE carries out LOKASANHAARA .

ANIRUDDHA - cha———–HARI when he decides anything , HE cannot be stopped or none can resist his SANKALPA . Nobody can change what LORD decides one , such a capacity none carried earlier , nor anyone exists who can change what HARI has resolved to do , nor anyone would come in future who would be capable to do so .

So the stories or tthoughts that SRINIVASA had been hurt in  a war or His HEAD started bleeding due to injury etc are not TRUE . The enactment of getting caught helplessly in NAGAPASHA of INDRAJIT is all for DAITYA mohana . OTHERWISE even while kiling Kharasur or RAVANA MOOLABALA , LORD has taken many rupas and exhibited his infinite prowess . SO his resolve cannot be superceded thus he is ANIRUDDHA .

2, AN means VAYUDEVA , ANI means devotees of VAYU devaru , one who is ruddha[ captivated ] by ani – devotees of VAYUDEVARU .

In the previous para we had shown that LORD is not under anybody’s influence nor can he be made vasha [ captivated ] by anyone , no one can cause virodha to him or his sankalpa . YET VAYUDEVA is his devotee of highest kind . WHoever has the anugraha of VAYUDEVA , they can have vashikarana on LORD , and he becomes vash to them . ie Only by the grace of VAYUDEVA one can captivate LORD in his heart .

VALI though  a great devotee , but did not have anugraha grace of HANUMAN and hence LORD RAAMA did not become vasha to him instead HE became inimical . on the contrary SUGREEVA though a  alpabhakta [ lesser devotee than VALI ] but still had the grace of HANUMAN VAYU , and thus enjoyed grace of RAAMA .

Thus SRINIVASA though independent , yet comes under control of DEVOTEES like VYASATEERTHA and RAGHAVENDRAteertha [ thye exhibit extraordinary powers of siddhi and HARI showers unmixed uninterrupted grace on them like bewitched DIETY ] only because these great yatis have complete anugraha of VAYUDEVA , thus HE is known as ANIRUDDHA . SRINIVASA has a capacity and strength to sustain the lokas and hence he is same as LOKPALAKA  ANIRUDDHA .

SHESHADRI patih eva cha ——- and SHESHA - sheshadeva had encoiled the mountain ADRI - anandaparvata  and patih means ownership , SRINIVASA is the owner and head of the Mountain encoiled by SHESHA thus known as SHESHADRI . the word eva shows SRINIVASA has alwasy this evrlasting ownership .

why this word eva because …… once in VAKUNTHA when HARI was in YOganidra and HE appointed SHESHA to guard the doors . There SHRI VAYU deva arrived to see HARI . SHESHA stopped him and then went on bragging about his own greatness and strength .

Then HARI appeared at the gates and asked SHESHA to encoil with all might and strength the mountain ANANDADRI and If VAYU could move it then VAYU is greater in strength else SESHA will be declared greater .

SESHA accepted and with all his might he encoiled the mountain and with thousand fangs poured out enormous venom and heat , thus making mountain inaccesible and venomous . VAYU with his just a touch of toe cause the mountain to fall 51000 yojana away .

Sesha deva accepted defeat and sang praises of VAYUDEVA . Thus from that day the mountain came to be known as SHESHADRI . and SRINIAVASA is yajamana BOSS for that mountain .

SHESHADRI might not have been there earlier and might not be there later too , so SHESHADRPATITVA quality may be a temporary one ,which would vanish with destruction of SHESHADRI mountain  this doubt can crop up . Thus word eva has been used ….

LORD is ananatabramhanda  nayaka , so infinite bramhandas exist at all times and all these bramhandas hav seshadri and OUR SRINIVASA is BOSS yejamana for all those mountains and thus HE remains the BOSS of seshaddri  FOREVER .

next shloka contd …… in coming posts .

Astrology of twins -a study !

28 Apr

The following is jut an application of what I had learnt from my father ! Infact the very astrology samhita was composed by Sage Lomash , when sumati came to him asking for the knowledge of Astrology .

Sage sumati was summoned by the KING who had two children born as twins with similar charts in all vargas and yet one was fair and well mannered and like by the subjects , the other one was dark , ill faced and evil by nature . Sage sumati said he had not learnt astrology so was unable to predict or give reason for the diversity in twins . King highly dissapointed insulted Sumati in anguish . Sumati went into forests and deep in Himalayas he found sage LOMASH and started his lessons .

A very interesting research has been done By SHRI RAYUDU on the birth of twins .

Quote SHRI RAYUDU “

In my recent visit to USA to give lectures there in the conferences of the American Federation of Astrologers and Arsha Vidya Gurukulam, on their invitation, I found in the World Almanac that for every 3 seconds 9 births and 6 deaths take place (the scholars can think wherefrom the other 3 births, 9 births minus 6 deaths, are coming from). In India alone, I think that for every second a birth takes place. What happens to an astrologer if such 3 charts with a time difference of 1 second are given at one time for analysis? Generally, many of the astrologers are lucky enough not to get into such a mess and hence they survive with their various gimmicks.

Therefore, it is very essential to know the background of the native regarding the details about grand parents, parents, brothers sisters, education, marriage, husband/wife, children, profession etc to verify the past events, before proceeding to give other future predictions. How to verify the past events and rectify the time of birth (including the male/female birth) is still a riddle, in view of the differences in the Ayanamsha by different stalwarts.

I do not propose to claim that I know these tricks and I am still struggling to understand these intricacies, in spite of my study of this for the last three decades, maintaining the birth data and life pattern events of the known individuals. I humbly request that all astrologers should record the past events of their clients with birth data and discuss amongst themselves with an open and research mind so that some concrete conclusions and rules may come out to read a chart as per the present modern times.

However, for the sake of those who are interested in deep research, I give herewith three typical charts of twins with their birth data and some known past events with birth time difference of 2 to 3 minutes. I myself could not analyze them satisfactorily and I am keen if someone can analyze them to suit the past events and give future predictions. I find similarity of sounds in the names of twins. It is essential to give degrees of planets and lagna whenever a chart is quoted along with the Vimsottari Dasas. ” UNQUOTE

Shri RAYUDU also elsewhere notes that

” . If the birth time difference is of a minimum of 2 to 3 minutes, the lagna of Shashtiamsa 7 3 chart( 1/60 divisional chart) only will be effected and all the analysis of other charts regarding marriage, children, profession etc will be the same. In such a case, how to distinguish the differences of the life patterns of the twins is really a riddle. If there is birth of two persons to different parents in different places or on same place with a difference of 2 to 3 minutes in birth time, then to analyze the life patterns is still a problem. Some astrologers correctly pointed out that we do not have the sufficient knowledge of how to use the 16 divisional charts given by Maharishi Parasara”

Shri RAYUDU goes on to give example charts of twins and their lives .

One such example Shri RAYUDU gives is ….

CASE I:

Two twin females,

ANALYSIS BY CHIRAAN

The above charts are given by SHRI RAYUDU as per his calculations . MOSTLY drigganitha and lahiri paksha ayanamsha . We see that there is no change in position of planets for a considerable part of the DAY with drigganita . Applying SURYA SIDDHANTA we see a different chart , yet all the charts upto SHASHTIAMSHA are same .

——————————————————————————-

We can see that there is no difference in any charts with surysiddhanta as well except for positions of planets in NAVAMSHA and SHASTIAMSHA[ difference is wrt ayanamsha but not charts of twins ] ,in both systems still they are same for both twins .

So what could be the reason for the difference in lives of the twins .

LET us see what are the areas in which two differ .

  • Difference in area of education one BSC and other BCOM
  • Difference in marriage times one at age 22 and other at 27 late
  • Different background of Husband , one engineer and other doctor
  • Abroad residence . One remained in INDIA at the same time though dasha are same .
  • Both same profession of beautician .

These are serious differences which cannot be ignored when both the horoscopes are similar upto the point of Shashtyamsha . Even though Shashtiamsha lagna is different , a different lifestyle cannot be attributed to shashtiamsha lagna .

Because most of the astro-discussions by sages only give analysis through rashi chart only , never is there any reference found to shashtiamsha chart or any divisonal chart while giving a major prediction on a chart . SO how did the twins vary in different course of LIFE ?

——————————————————————————————

LET me divert attention for a moment towards the time of birth , even in speciality hospitals the clock in operation theatres of a labour ward are not well tuned . When my daughter was born I made it a point to tune my laptop to continually update and sync with Internet standard time [ atomic clock]

It was Ganesh chaturthi and after evening prayers and welcoming LORD GANESH to my house with mantap aasan arghya padya snana dhoop deepa naivedya , at 12.30 my wife complained of severe pain , I immediately alerted our regular Doctor and she immediately called her hospital the best in CITY with one of the most advanced care and world renowned [ why I am reiterating these adjectives is to emphasize the state of clock ]

At 12 .50 we reached hospital and unbelievably my daughter was born at 1.06 with synchronous accurate time , yet hospital clock showed 1.10 . The expertise of doctor was high as birth happened so quickly .

A difference of 4 minutes even with a superspeciality hospital in one of the most internet savvy cities of world .

Secondly a year later when my son was to be born I decided not to take any chances this time and admitted my wife well a day before as my intuition said there would be a birth today .

It was same hospital , Doctor with previous experience of quick birth , decided to keep her in labour room only instead of suit . The whole day passed by , by evening a meeting sprang up , it was a secretary of some mantri along with a team of NRIs ,who wanted an urgent audience , so I decided to go and meet ,

While the meeting was still going on at TAJ , an urgent message from my doctor , really unsettled me . But the meeting did not get over for next three hours . My nervousness grew even more as the lagna with rahu and mars was nearing . I apologized and took leave and rushed directly to the hospital .

My doctor showed there were some zero pulses observed at regular intervals from ultrasound output , I said why not check the transducer may be some lose contact may be causing the drop in pulse .

DOCTOR obliged , and replaced the machine and yet there were zero pulsing . The reason was a suspected wrapping of umbilical chord around the neck which might be restricting the child from finding its way out and any attempt was choking its neck causing drop in the pulse .

So DOCTOR wanted permission to go for c section . She was really very sad as previous two births were normal and smooth and this third one she had to operate . [ she was also afraid that people would blame her ] . The condition was indeed serious , so without consulting elders and also my wife , I said we shall go for C section .

She was relieved , and quickly hurried towards the theatre . For next few moments I was reciting VENKATESH stotra ,

The operation was readied but in hurry I had forgotten to fine tune my watch with that of doctor . Now I told a attendant novice surgeon [ intern ] to tune his watch to mine and go inside . He obliged . When he came back . He gave me the most pleasant news of birth of a son . 11.59pm as per accurate time . 12.02am as per doctor and 12.05 am as per records .

AGAIN a difference of time of 3 minutes in a most advanced hospitals as well .

—————————————————————————————————

Being an astrologer and penchant for accuracy if I could encounter this differences of 3 – 5min , then ordinary people would definitely have their birth time defective for sure 99% of times .

The above birth is in 1967 where internet was unknown and people relied upon watched which might have been tuned to ALL INDIA RADIO as television era had also not started . So timing going off ten twelve minutes should not be a surprise .

This I am emphasizing to justify the birth time rectification .

Now if we go back twelve minutes . Now we can safely assume that two twins have born with a time difference of three minutes ,

At 10 . 08 .45 pm if we take as first 10 . 11 45 pm

To be precise , birth before 10 hours 9 minutes and after 10 hours 9 minutes .

Which can be a possibility as the difference is only a ten – twelve minutes , and can occur if doctors have not tuned their watches to radio time for quiet sometime , watches do get delayed . Or In that era there was a habit of advancing watch by few minutes by office goers ,

Now assuming that birth occurred before and after 10 – 9 minutes

Let us see the planetary positions .

Elder TWIN CHART RASHI -D60 [ mark position of SUN in Aries Shashtyamsha ]

YOUNGER TWIN CHART RASHI-D60 [ mark Sun in TAURUS in D60 ]

Screen clipping taken: 4/27/2011 3:33 PM

CAN there be difference of life altogether by a change of position in one planet in D60 , definitely not a considerable change . So what makes these difference manifest : A slight inspection of longitude of SUN will lay bare all the keys to the drastic changes a chart can exhibit even though charts are same .

Longitude of SUN in elder twin mark the view in below table painted yellow

It is 8 degrees scorpio 59 min .

After 10 pm 9 minutes this degrees changes to 9 degrees in scorpio which is what is highlighted in table for Younger twin

What happens by this transition :

If we inspect saturns logitude it is 9 degrees pisces 42

Just as sun enters 9 degrees , it gives rise to a exception by PARASHARA in seven karaka scheme

What does that say : when degrees of the two planets became same , then rahu is included in the seven karaka scheme

So for elder twin ATMA KARAKA is VENUS

And For Younger twin ATMA karaka is RAHU .

There is also change in bhava hora and ghatika lagna navamshas navamshas .

Note the following differences in the chart

  1. AK is different for both charts
  2. the PK putra karaka is different for both the charts .
  3. As charaputra karaka is different so is its Upapada
  4. Lagna in Shashtiamsha ,khavedamsha , akshavedamsha charts are different
  5. Darakaraka [ palnet governing husband ] is associated with sun in shastyamsha in one chart .

Now let us understand how each of the factors has affected

ATMAkaraka is venus for elder twin , its seventh house saturn

Putrkaraka saturn its graharudha is scorpio . There SUN in upapada is benefic as it is in mitra kshetra .

Thus upapada is well placed as lord of upapada is exalted too . Causing marriage at right time .

For the younger twin , upapada is grahaarudha of jupiter is Aries , upapada is conjunct RAHU aspected by mars and mercury [afflicted ] three malefic affliction , which shows delay in marriage .

Affliction to upapada is cause for delay of marriage . This is evident in RASHI CHART itself of twins .

Mars in shastyamsha is DK [ dara karak ie planet governing husband  is same for both twins , but one is associated with sun and other not associated with sun .sun governs GOVT and Medical fields . ]

second from it is mercury [ for both ] showing good education of husbands .

Profession is known by atmakaraka or 10th from it .

Rahu in karkamsha gives a person indulging in LOHAYANTRAKRUT [ engineering ] …. Seventh from lagna in shastyamsha  of elder twin has RAHU as jupiter is aspecting gives auspicious results .[ usually just rahu gives losses and person adheres to malpractises ]

Seventh from Lagna in younger one is pisces [ d 60 ] 10th from this has moon aspected by mercury

Budh drishte vidhao sadvaidyah …… so says parashara .

Sadvaidyah means a good doctor .

Thus elder one married Engineer and younger married a doctor .

————————————————————————————————–

why residence in foriegn for one ?

Twelfth from Atmakarak in elder one has jupiter moon and lord sun is free from malefic effects showing residence in own country , however 12th jupiter has mars aspect may give foreign travels later in life .

In shashtiamsha 12th lord and 12 house is free from malefic s .

BOth charts D60 and rashi of elder twin  have benefic  influences only .

whereas in younger twin …..

Twelfth from Rahu [ in rashi ]  has saturn and its lord jupiter also has mars aspect , indicating residence in foriegn country  ,as shashtiamsha has 12 th and 12 lord both heavily afflicted .

Now for marriage timing

Elder one married in moon dasha mercury antar in venus

In navamsha seventh house has mercury aspected by moon .

NOW why did second twin not marry in this dasha .

When we look at kala dasha

Saturn dasha is operating , saturn is papargala for upapada of younger one and shubhargala for elder one ie saturns aids marriage for elder and stopped marriage for younger one .

Both of them married in kalachakra dasha of pisces ie saptamadhipati  saturn and younger one married in MARS dasha a planet in seventh house .

Both of them married in chakra dasha of virgo where venus is posited , and antardasha of their respective upapada rashi .

Note : Astrology is a definitive science , and it offers wide range of analysis to  a person , if only everyone strives hard to get exact time of birth of their new borns , one can delineate all the events accurately .
