КАРТТИКА В ВОПРОСАХ И ОТВЕТАХ: опровержение маявадской Панчаятаны, опровержение тамасичных историй про одноглазого Бхагавана Шри Вишну и "смертную" Шри Сатьябхаму-Деви, а также 3 типа Карттика-Враты...

ДАННАЯ СТАТЬЯ ОБЪЯСНЯЕТ КАРТТИКА-ВРАТУ С ТОЧКИ ЗРЕНИЯ ШРИ РАМАНУДЖА-САМПРАДАИ.

Вопрос: "В этом году я собираюсь соблюдать различные Карттика-враты на основании правил из "Шри Сканда-Пураны" и "Шри Падма-Пураны". Я нашёл английские переводы "Шри Сканда-Пураны" и "Шри Падма-Пураны" от Motilal Banasirdass и начал изучать Карттика-Махатмьи из данных Пуран. 

Изучение повергло меня в шок, потому что "Шри Сканда-Пурана" и "Шри Падма-Пурана" буквально испещрены очень мелкими правилами, которые обычному российскому человеку ни за что не выполнить.

Более того, "Шри Сканда-Пурана" прямым текстом предписывает Панчаятану в Карттику. Я всегда считал, что Панчаятана (маявадская практика поклонения 5 деватам сразу - Вишну, Шиве, Деви, Ганеше, Сурье - ей следуют смарта-брахманы) порицается всеми Вайшнава-Ачарьями. Как объяснить то, что не просто "Шри Сканда-Пурана", а именно Вайшнава-Кханда "Шри Сканда-Пураны" содержит прямые указания совершать Панчаятану в Карттику?".

Ответ by Vishnudut1926: "Шри Сканда-Пурана" относится к Тамасика Пуранам, а все Тамасика Пураны

KARTTIKA-VRATA IN Q&A: Why there is mayavadika Panchayatana in Karttika-Mahatmya of "Shree Skanda-Purana"? Why Shree Krishna followed to Kama-sadhana during Karttika? How sattvika Karttika-Vrata differs from rajasika Karttika-Vrata?

NOTE FOR A READER: THIS ARTICLE EXPLAINS SHREE RAMANUJA-SIDDHANTA AND INTENDED FOR PRAPANNAS FROM SHREE RAMANUJA-VAISHNAVA-SAMPRADAYA. 

Question: "I got interested in Karttika-Vrata, so I have been reading Karttika-Masa-Mahatmya from "Shree Skanda-Purana" recently. While reading I have stumbled upon very strange verses prescribing Panchayatana Worship (that is "all in one" 5-folded mayavadik worship - Vishnu, Shiva, Devi, Ganesha, Surya) for Karttika-Vrata. 

I am baffled by these verses, because it always seemed to me that Vaishnavas must shun Panchayatana worship at any cost, because Panchayatana = mayavadic = for smarta brahmins (mayavadis, smartas). Could you please comment?". 

Answer by Vishnudut1926: "Shree Skanda-Purana" is a Tamasika-Purana, so it is extremely corrupted by mayavada pramanas (the so-called "mohana" pramanas intended for plunging asuras into delusion). You can trust pramanas from "Shree Skanda-Puranas" only when

"Shree Padma-Purana" notes - PART 02: Shree Krishna-Avatara and Shree Rama-Avatara predicted, 108 Shakti-Tirthas (including Dwaraka and Vrindavan) and Santanika Lokas...

2ND PART OF THE SERIES DEDICATED TO PRAMANAS FROM "SHREE PADMA-PURANA". TABLE OF CONTENTS FOR THE SERIES CAN BE FOUND HERE - "TOC: SHREE PADMA-PURANA NOTES"

Starting from the 2nd part I will also publish Pramans in Sanskrit (not only in English), because I have started the checking of Pramanas from the English edition by Motilal Banasirdass with the Sanskrit edition by Vedic Reserve (you can find Vedic Reserve Sanskrit edition #here). 

Upon checking Shrishti-Khanda no discrepancies have been found - chapters, verses enumeration in the English edition repeats the Sanskrit one, which is great, because it means, that we have 2 trustworthy editions!

In the enumeration below "1" stands for "Shrishti-Khanda", that is, for example, "1.15.37" = "Shrishti-Khanda, Verse 15.37".

Verse 1.15.377 belongs to the extended chain of Pramanas dwelling on "Whom devatas consider to be

Q&A: Who is Shreemati Subhadra-Devi of Shree Jagannatha-Kshetra? Shree Durga or Shree Lakshmi?

Question: "Could you please tell Who is Shree Subhadra-Devi in Shree Jagannatha-Kshetra? Shree Lakshmi or Shree Durga?"

Answer by Vishnudut1926: "Shree Subhadra-Devi is Shree Durga (Shree Katyayani, Shree ShivA), because "Shree Brahma-Purana", Jagannatha-Mahatmya (also known as Purushottama-Kshetra-Mahatmya) says:

नमस् ते सर्वगे देवि नमस् ते शुभसौख्यदे /

त्राहि मां पद्मपत्त्राक्षि कात्यायनि नमो ऽस्तु ते // ५७.५८ //

एवं प्रसाद्य तां देवीं जगद्धात्रीं जगद्धिताम् /

बलदेवस्य भगिनीं सुभद्रां वरदां शिवाम् // ५७.५९ //

namas te sarvage devi namas te shubhasaukhyade /

trAhi mAM padmapattrAkShi kAtyAyani namo .astu te // 57.58 //

evaM prasAdya tAM devIM jagaddhAtrIM jagaddhitAm /

baladevasya bhaginIM subhadrAM varadAM shivAm // 57.59 //

"Shreemati Subhadra-Devi is Shree Katyayani (Shree Durga) and Shree ShivA". ["Shree Brahma-Purana", 57.58-59]

and

भगिनीं वासुदेवस्य रुक्मवर्णां सुशोभनाम् तृतीयां वै सुभद्रां च सर्वलक्षणलक्षिताम् 

bhaginIM vAsudevasya rukmavarNAM sushobhanAm tRRitIyAM vai subhadrAM cha sarvalakShaNalakShitAm 

"Shree Subhadra-Devi is a Sister (Bhagini) of Lord Shree Vasudeva". ["Shree Brahma-Purana", 50.46.]

Please also pay keen attention to the fact, that according to Orthodox Vaishnava PanchaRatra there is no difference between Shreemati Lakshmi-Devi and Shreemati Durga-Devi, because Shreemati Lakshmi-Devi says in "Shree Lakshmi-Tantra", that:

1. भद्रकाली तथा भद्रा काली दुर्गा महेश्वरी - bhadrakAlI tathA bhadrA kAlI durgA maheshvarI - "I am (Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi) BhadraKali, Durga, MahEshwari". ["Shree Lakshmi-Tantra", 4.40] and

2. महत्त्वाच्च महामाया मोहनान्मोहिनी मता दुर्गा च दुर्गमत्वेन भक्तरक्षाविधेरपि - mahattvAchcha mahAmAyA mohanAnmohinI matA durgA cha durgamatvena bhaktarakShAvidherapi - "I am (Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi) also known as Shree MahaMaya and Shree Durga, Who protects Her own bhaktas like fortress!". ["Shree Lakshmi-Tantra", 4.46]

So, technically Shree Subhadra-Devi of Shree Jagannatha-Kshetra is Shree Durga, but from overall point of view and from Orthodox PanchaRatrika Vaishnava point of view Shreemati Subhadra-Devi is Shree MahaLakshmi. 

And "Shree Brahma-Purana" is all about Orthodox Vaishnava PanchaRatra, because it contains a lot of Shree Vasudeva-related themes, Narayana-Mantra-Mahatmya and Vaikuntha descriptions (see, for example, #this post dedicated to Shree Vaikuntha-Mahatmya from "Shree Brahma-Purana"). 

So, Shreemati Subhadra-Devi = Shreemati Durga-Devi = Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi.

If you are very much interested in Bhagavan Shree Jagannatha, then I strongly recommend to study "Shree Brahma-Purana", it is the most authoritative source about Shree Jagannatha in this Kali-Yuga. 

Motilal Banasirdass edition of "Shree Brahma-Purana" in English is great. If you know Sanskrit, you can refer either to GRETIL-version (#link) or to VedicReserve (#link)".

Shree Vaikuntha (Shree Vishnu-Loka) Chapter from "Shree Brahma-Purana" [Sanskrit + English]

There is a hidden Chapter dedicated to Shree Vaikuntha (Shree Vishnu-Loka) in Jagannatha-Mahatmya-Khanda of "Shree Brahma-Purana"!

In the text below I have united Sanskrit version from GRETIL (#link) and the English translation from the English edition of "Shree Brahma-Purana" by Motilal Banasirdass. GRETIL and Motilal editions have a slight discrepancy in the Chapters enumeration: in the GRETIL Sanskrit edition the Chapter dedicated to Shree Vaikuntha is Chapter NO. 68, while in the Motilal English edition it is Chapter NO. 65. I am following to GRETIL NO. 68 enumeration in the below text.

RARE SHREE TULASI-SADHANA FROM "SHREEMAD DEVI-BHAGAVATAM" (Shree Tulasi-Mantra and Shree Tulasi-Ashtaka in Sanskrit with English translations and explanations)

This autumn I am following to rare Shree Tulasi-sadhana from "Shreemad-Devi-Bhagavatam" ("Shree Devi-Bhagavata-Purana"). This sadhana is not secret, so I am sharing in my blog. 

Shree Tulasi-sadhana from "Shree Devi-Bhagavata-Purana" destroys heavy karma baddhas, grants all siddhis and Mukti on Shree Vishnu-Loka (see the amazing and extraordinary Phala-Shruti below). 

"Shree Devi-Bhagavata-Purana" ("Shreemad Devi-Bhagavatam") is traditionally considered to be of DakshinAchara Branch (Pure Sattvika Shaktism of Right Hand), so Shree Tulasi-sadhana is both Sattvika-Vaidika and Sattvika-Tantrika:

1. वेदे जानासि कण्वशाखोक्तमेव - vede jAnAsi kaNvashAkhoktameva - "Shree Tulasi-sadhana originates from Kanva-Shakha of Shukla Yajur-Veda" - as "Shree Devi-Bhagavata-Purana", 9.25.39 says and 

2. The root of this sadhana is

Шри Туласи-Мантра и Шри Туласи-Аштака: садхана из "Шримад-Деви-Бхагаватам", которой следует Лично Бхагаван Шри Вишну!

У меня этой осенью события сложились так, что в конце сентября мне Шримати МахаЛакшми-Деви и Бхагаван Шри Нараяна буквально в один голос сказали: "Добавь Шри Туласи-садхану из "Шримад-Деви-Бхагаватам" ("Шри Деви-Бхагавата-Пураны") в свою нынешнюю садхану. Заодно в блоге остальным девчонкам расскажешь о редкой Шри Туласи-садхане!". 

Как всегда огромное спасибо Шримати МахаЛакшми-Деви и Бхагавану Шри Нараяне за то, что Они ведут меня буквально каждую секунду моей жизни. Ниже - отчет, сразу предупреждаю о побочном эффекте после прочтения статьи - вам очень, очень захочется стать Туласи-бхактом! Тем более, что Шри Туласи-садхана занимает примерно 6 минут в день (если вы читаете 1 круг Шри Туласи-Мантры и "Шри Туласи-Аштаку")! Начинаем!

Сначала расскажу об уникальных чертах Шри Туласи-садханы: 

1. Шри Туласи-садхане следует Лично Бхагаван Шри Нараяна. В "Шримад-Деви-Бхагаватам" (9.25.4) говорится: हरिः संपूज्य तुलसीं रेमे च रमया सह रमासमानसौभाग्यां चकार गौरवेण च

English annotation by Vishnudut1926: "Shree Devi-Bhagavata-Purana" ("Shreemad-Devi-Bhagavatam") in Sanskrit-English. 

I have found this variant on archive.org in 2 Volumes. 

I have added English OCR text layer (it enables "text search" option in any pdf-viewer) and united 2 Volumes in 1 pdf-file. 

I liked the English translation, but be careful and double check with Sanskrit, because some mistakes are possible. For example, I have noticed typical "Shree Krishna is Purna Avatara" ("Full Incarnation") mistake on the page 301:

Shree Krishna is NOT a "Full Incarnation" of Bhagavan Shree Vishnu (Lord Shree Narayana), but just an Amsha-Avatara of Bhagavan Shree Vishnu as the original Sanskrit text of "Shree Devi-Bhagavata-Purana" says (see yellow frame on the screenshot above). 

If you believe Shree Krishna to be "Full Incarnation" (and I hope you don't!), you will land at the very primitive idea of Krishna being "The Source of All Vishnu-Avataras", which is against all Vaishnava-Shastras and Orthodox Vaishnava PanchaRatra. 

And against numerous Pramanas from Vaishnava "Shreemad-Bhagavatam", which say about Bhagavan Shree Narayana (Bhagavan Shree Vishnu) as ParaDeva. For example, famous Verses from Vaishnava "Shreemad-Bhagavatam", 2.5.15-16:
