Mayura Sarowara - The Favourite Lake of Shreemati Chitra Gopi



THE VERY BEAUTIFUL EXCERPT FROM "BRAJ BHOOMI MOHINI" - http://vishnudut1926.blogspot.ru/2014/07/braj-bhoomi-mohini-english-edition.html

मयुरक्रीडिने तुभ्यं चित्रलेखे नमोऽस्तु ते ।
त्रैलोक्यपदमोक्षाय मयुरसरसे नमः ।।


बृहन्नारदीय पुराण


mayurakrIDine tubhyaM chitralekhe namo.astu te | 
trailokyapadamokShAya mayurasarase namaH || 


bRRihannAradIya purANa 


TRANSLATION: "Fond of sporting with peacocks! O Chitraleikhei! Obeisance to you.  Giver of the pada of all three worlds and the giver of liberation, O Mayur sarowar! Obeisance to you". 

COMMENTARY: "Mayur Kridā (sporting with peacocks) is especially dear to Shri Chitrā  ji. She comes  here  every  day.  

Herds  and  herds  of  peacocks spontaneously assemble here. Shri Chitrā ji feeds them. At times the peacocks encircle her. 

At such times Priyā-Priyatam also arrive there swaying and sashaying. The peacocks welcome them expressing their emotions  by  making  sounds  of  joy. 

Absorbed  in  dance  they  come close to Priyā ji some times and sometimes getting the proximity of Priyatam, they become overjoyed and elated and become engrossed in  dancing.  

Shri  Chitrā  ji  also  becomes  ecstatic  and  thrilled  at  her fortune. She gets suffused with rasa beholding the beautiful form of Priyatam surrounded by peacocks.  

And the rasa crazy Yugal seeing the dance of the peacocks, make this site more and more beautiful with their own rasaful endeavors. 

Knower of the secrets of all these keli, this site receiving these Leelās as gift has preserved them in order to distribute them amongst the devotees. 

Mayur sarowar is near Deha Kund".

I have been searching for The Image of Shreemati Chitralekha Gopi, but found this Image. Surprisingly in the light of the fact I have been writing about the Tantric Paddhati of Chaitanya Sampradaya earlier (here).

In Chaitanya Tantric Tradition This Lotus should be meditated on by Rasika Bhaktas. Some naive people (usually beginners), reckoning themselves to be highly advanced try to burst into Gaudiya Tradition by meditating on Ashta-Kaliya Lila and etc.

In grim reality, before meditating on Ashta-Kaliya Lila they must do a lot of Manasa-Seva to Chief Manjaris and Gopis.

And the meditation on the Lotus (with Mantras) is one of the Angas of such Manasa-Seva.

Tantric Paddhati of Chaitanya Sampradaya

As for ""Shree Krishna Yamalam MahaTantram" (uploaded by me in this post and mentioned in this post) in Hindi Exordia it is stated that this is The Book of Chaitanya Sampradaya, the kind of Tantric Paddhati of Chaitanya Sampradaya!
Strange, as I know The Granthas of Chaitanya Sampradaya very well, but I never heard of "Shree Krishna Yamalam MahaTantram", though in Chaitanya Sampradya "Shree Vishnu Yamalam Tantra" and "Shree Rudra Yamalam Tantra" are being cited sometimes. 
As for The Tantric Part of Chaitanya Sampradaya, "Shree Brahma-Samhita" and "Shree Hari-Bhakti-Vilasa" are the Primary Granthas. They also have Paddhati, I can't name the Book, as it is the part of their hidden Siddhanta (nothing esoteric and occult here, just the Paddhati with Mantras, Gayatris and Dhyanas, but as All the Tantric Granthas it must be kept hidden from non-deserving people and 99% of "people" in Kali-Yuga are non-deserving, truly speaking). 

So, as for the Tantric Paddhati of Chaitanya Sampradaya, it is well hidden and usually designated only for the best shishyas! I know it partially: a lot of Superb Mantras and Dhyanas, though I never had Ruci for Them. 

The Most crucial part in Gaudiya Tantric Tradition is GOPALA MANTRAS. So don't be deceived by "Hare Krishna Mantra" chanting, Gaudiya Sampradaya is not so simple, they have Tantric Paddhati and much more Advanced Mantras...

It is also stated in Hindi Exordia, that "Shree Krishna Yamalam MahaTantram" is influenced by "Shree Brahma Vaivarta-Purana" and by "Shreemad Devi Bhagavatam" ("Shree Devi Bhagavata Purana"). No wonder here, as Bhagavan Shree Krishna and Shreemati Radharani Devi are The Heroes of Both The Puranas (though in much, much, much lesser extent in "Shree Devi Bhagavata Purana"). 

I have no time for looking through the Hindi Exordia further now and I need to study both Exordia and Sanskrit Text in more accurate manner. 

And after this I will write the synopsis (it will take about 2-3 years, HEHEHEHE!!!!, as I have the very enormous digital warehouse of Bhakti Books in Hindi and English - 32GB SDHC running out of space - and this Tantra is the last in the list, that is not very interesting to me). 

But if someone is initiated in Chaitanya Tradition, he will surely study "Shree Krishna Yamalam MahaTantram"!

"Krama Dipika" - Vaishnava Agama with Gopala Mantra Glosses and Clarifications, Sanskrit, Srirangar 1929


DOWNLOAD (Sanskrit with English Exordia):

YandexDisk  Cubby  Box  Dropbox  

Bitcasa  GoogleDrive  Skydrive  Copy

FROM ENGLISH EXORDIA:

"Krama Dipika" or "light on the path " is a Vaishnava Tantra, Gopala-Vishnu being The Presiding Deity. 

The Krama "path" is The Worship of the Supreme Being herein termed Bala-Gopala, as enjoined and described in the text. 

The author nowhere mentions his own name though in the 13th verse of the last Chapter, he states:

"Dipikeyam mayodbhashyate kramatah Krishna-mantra-gaditanam",

but no name follows the personal pronoun "maya".

It claims that the Gopala mantra is much more efficacious than all other mantras, in as much as the latter rarely become fruitful and always require that the sadhaka should necessarily belong to one of the four Varnas and Ashramas, while the Gopala Mantra never fails in its effect nor imposes any limitations of Caste or Ashrama on the worshipper.

The most scary moment in All The Devotional Literature (the shock of the Maiden-Servants)


I am reading "Shree Lalitopakhyanam" (I will upload E-BOOK later) and the most scary moment in all The Devotional Literature is when Shreemati Sati-Devi is leaving The Body through the Ashtanga-Yoga and all Her Maidens plunge in the state of shock and despair.
I nearly fainted when I have been reading the scene. Imagine this scary state of losing THE MOST PRECIOUS PERSON in a flash.
To lose The Most Adorable Goddess in the world, you have served to, you have been amusing with jokes, you have been dressing up and was proud of being the part of Her Retinue!!!!!

Such a terrible shock is this!!!!!!!!!!!!

The scene is very scary and emotional, though everybody knew that Shreemati Sati-Devi would be borne as Shreemati Parvati-Devi (and The Maidens were reborn in Himalays with Her too). 

As if to emphasize the terrible shock of the scene, the shock of the Maidens-Servants is described further, when They have to return to Bhagavan Shiva and to tell Him the terrible news:
"When the spouse of Shiva, Satidevi, consumed Her Body in the flame born of Yoqa and rose up in the form of a Jyoti and vanished into the sky in the direction of the Himalayas, Her Devoted Hand-Maids and the many pramadhaganas*** and chiefs who had accompanied Her to Daksha's place, left the Yagna-sala (place of sacrifice) in haste and returned to Kailash with the empty chariot of Sati Devi, but they had not the courage to break the terrible news to Shankara. 
***Annotation by Vishnudut1926: प्रमदा - pramadA - young woman ("pramadAgana" in this case mean the "the host or the family of  the young maiden-servants") 
With grief-laden hearts and tears streaming down their cheeks, broken-hearted and unable to utter words through sob-choked throats these Maidens stood before their Lord who, already divining the nature of the news, pressed them to speak out without any fear.
With halting speech their words interrupted by uncontrollable sobs, They managed to relate the entire sequence of what had taken place at Daksha's Yagna-sala, ending with the most unhappy but miraculous and wonderfully instantaneous incineration of Sati Devi's Exquisitely Beautiful Body which vanished in a flash of flame without leaving even a trace of ash behind".
But actually there is nothing spooky about this scene for Maiden-Servants of Shreemati Parvati-Devi as All of Them are Mukta-Jivas free from sufferings, death and rebirth and the scene with Shreemati Sati-Devi burning Her Body was the part of The Lila:
"As years piled upon years and the stream of time flowed on, Shreemati Parvati-Devi Girlhood passed and, in its place, was left a Dazzlingly Beautiful Maiden, Exquisitely Formed and Delicately Celestial - far surpassing Rati Devi herself.
During al these years the Lovely Damsels who had once been Shreemati Sati Devi's Near and Dear Attendants had also taken birth among the Himalayan hills and valleys and grown up as Play-Mates of Shreemati Parvati-Devi. 
This bevy of Beauties now surrounded Shreemati Parvati-Devi and never left Her alone even for a moment.
The group resembled a cluster of variegated flowers with Queen-Lotus (Shreemati Parvati-Devi) in the centre".
Notwithstanding, the emotional effect of the scene (I mean the scene with Shreemati Sati-Devi leaving Her Body) is amazingly scary for those Bhakti-Yogs, who follow to Dasi-Bhava (Bhava of being the female servant of Adi-Shakti).

"PARASHARA BHATTA HIS CONTRIBUTION TO VISHISHTADVAITA", Dr. S. Padmanabhan, Sri Vishishtadvaita Research Centre, 1995

UPDATE from 30-April-2019: new enhanced scan had been added (optimized size 8MB + OCR-txt-layer in English)

English annotation by Vishnudut1926: This Book is superb and definitely worth of being read for the second time.

I was not very hasty in reading, because I was afraid of the Book coming to an end, leaving you with that void feeling of something finished, which you miss very much. 

Linguistically the Book is flawless, the part which is dedicated to the Literary Contribution (see CHAPTER IV - Literary Estimate of The Hymns of Parashara) is astonishingly unique and if you study Sanskrit and Devotional Poetry you will be happy to probe into the examples of upamas, rupakas, shleshas and etc. 

Don't miss the precis of "AshtaShloki", "Shree Guna Ratna Kosha" and other Granthas of Om Vishnupad Parashara Bhatta in the first Chapters. 

Though I have read my favourite "Shree Guna Ratna Kosha" in Sadagopan.org edition, I was overjoyed to find the marvelous precis of "Shree Guna Ratna Kosha" in this Book. 

The TOC has been embedded in the Book by me as usually (see the "BOOKMARKS" Menu in your PDF-reader or press "CTRL+B").

Что такое Пумштва-Виродхи? Бхагаван Шри Нараяна ждёт на Вайкунтхе только девушек...


###Данная статья тематически 
относится к циклу статей о 
Шри МахаЛакшми-Сампрадае, 
смотрите рубрикатор - 

Миллион лет я не печатала русских переводов. 

В Шри Рамануджа-Сампрадайе существует очень обширное описание препятствий на пути Прапатти. 

Все эти препятствия изложены в Книге "Virodhi Parihaarangal or Removal of Obstacles" related by Udaiyavar Ramanujar to SriVangipurattuNambi" - http://vishnudut1926.blogspot.ru/2014/02/virodhi-parihaarangal-or-removal-of.html

В Шри Рамануджа-Сампрадайе существует такое понятие как "Пумштва-Виродхи" (पुंस्त्व विरोधी). Если переводить довольно-таки коряво, то это "нежелание признавать девчачью природу души"
Почти все Вайшнава-Сампрадайи исходят из идеи о том, что Бхагаван Шри Нараяна является Единственным Мужчиной в Духовном Мире (на Вайкунтхе), а дживы всего лишь являются Его девушками-служанками (рабынями) или выражаясь более технически, все дживы относятся к ЧИТ-ШАКТИ (ЧИТ-ШАКТИ является подчинённой Энергией Бхагавана Шри Нараяны). 
В Кали-Югу почти все Вайшнава-Сампрадайи следуют именно Гопи-Бхаве и говорят о том, что природа души - это быть девушкой Кришны. 

В ответ на это некоторые глуповатые "пандиты" иногда приводят цитату не помню из какой Упанишады о том, что у души вообще нет пола, но в данном случае Вайшнавы, естественно, не принимают Авторитет Упанишад, а опираются на собственные Агамы и Самхиты, которые говорят о том, джива относится к ЧИТ-ШАКТИ, то есть является девушкой по своей природе. 

"Пумштва-Виродхи" (पुंस्त्व विरोधी) часто встречается среди очень слабых бхактов, которые только начинают свой духовный путь, и которым начинает казаться, что они то мальчики-пастушки на Голоке, то вишнудуты на Вайкунтхе и т.п.

Об этом препятствии очень важно знать, чтобы быстро избавиться от него и продвигаться дальше. 

Таким образом, все дживы - девушки.

Далее - мой перевод соответствующей подглавы из книги "Virodhi Parihaarangal" - http://goo.gl/LMOh3V

"Пумштва-Виродхи". К препятствиям данной группы относятся следующие:

1) Считать себя мужчиной, не понимая при этом, что только Бхагаван Шри Нараяна (Пурушоттама), Ваханой Которого является Гаруда, является Мужчиной, тогда как все остальные являются девушками-служанками (рабынями) Бхагавана Шри Нараяны. 

2) Считать Брахму и Рудру мужчинами только потому, что они находятся в мужских телах. 

3) Не понимать, что женственность, которая является противоположностью Маскулинности Бхагавана Шри Нараяны, является единственно возможным призванием дживы. 

4) Не понимать, что понятие "мужчина" принадлежит лишь к телу и является временным обличьем в сансаре.

5) Не понимать, что как мужские, так и женские формы, которые джива принимает во время своих бесконечных рождений в сансаре, являются лишь временными формами и не имеют ничего общего с женственной природой дживы. 
6) Не понимать, что единственно истинной и вечной формой дживы является форма девушки, которая полностью влюблена в Бхагавана Шри Нараяну и абсолютна покорна Бхагавану Шри Нараяне. 
7) Считать себя мужчиной, который якобы независим, даже после того Гуру рассказал о том, что все дживы по природе девушки, которые абсолютно покорны (पारतन्त्र्य - pAratantrya) Бхагавану Шри Нараяне. 

Примечание переводчика: Ом Вишнупад Мадхва-Ачарья сделал одним из ключевых пунктов в своей Сиддханте (Двайта-Сиддханта) разделение на "Сватантру" и "паратантру". 

Бхагаван Шри Нараяна - "Сватантра" (स्वतन्त्र - svatantra), то есть полностью Независимый ни от кого Верховный Господь. 

Все дживы - "паратантра" (परतन्त्र - paratantra), полностью зависимые от Бхагавана Шри Нараяны девушки. 

8) Искать себе женщину после посвящения в тайну о том, что все дживы являются девушками Господа Кришны. 

9) Не осознавать, что все дживы являются девушками (परस्त्री - parastrI) Бхагавана Шри Нараяны. 

10) Не понимать, что муж, жена, а также все члены семьи являются лишь девушками-рабынями Бхагавана Шри Вишну (Бхагавана ШриПати, т.е. Мужа Верховной Богини Шримати Лакшми-Деви). 
11) Если кто-то считает, что он может служить Бхагавану Шри Нараяне в мужском обличье, то это - тоже очень серьёзное препятствие. 
12) Если кто-то считает себя девушкой-рабыней Верховного Господа Шри Нараяны, но при этом полностью не подчиняется всем Его Прихотям и Капризам - то это тоже очень серьёзное препятствие. 

13) Вспоминать о том, что ты - мужчина, это тоже препятствие. 

14) Как известно все Альвары были мужчинами, но при этом сочиняли почти все Свои Гимны в настроении девушек, которые жадно желают Любви с Бхагаваном Шри Нараяной. 

Все Альвары ненавидели свои мужские тела и мечтали лишь о телах девушек-рабынь, которые могли бы служить Возлюбленному Господу Кришне. 

Незнание этого также является огромным препятствием на пути Бхакти.


UPDATE от 06/10/2014: Смотрите статью о том, что только избранные Бхагаваном Шри Нараяной дживы могут стать Гопиками и том, будущие Гопики ни в коем случае не могут страдать здесь - http://vishnudut1926.blogspot.ru/2014/10/blog-post_6.html

What Kind of Tantra is this?


I have found this Tantra on scribd today, but never in my life I have heard about the existence of such Tantra.

The Name of the Tantra is "Shri Krishna Yamalam Mahatantram" - http://ru.scribd.com/doc/202471680/Shri-Krishna-Yamalam-Mahatantram-Shitala-Prasad-Upadhyaya

My Sanskrit is rather slow, so I have no time to decipher the Book right now, but I will rip it off from scribd and add to my library later.

Images of Shreemati Durga-Devi (Shreemati Parvati-Devi) - 15 recovered Images

I was very eagerly searching for the Image of Shreemati Parvati-Devi and found It!!!

But the quality was not very good - the Image was too pale and of bad jpeg-quality. 

So, I have recovered This Image in Photoshop, applying various filtres. 

Below all the Images, see the copies on flickr, box and dropbox

It is the original which was needed to be recovered.

There is no turning back, when Love takes HOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD...Shreemati Krishna-Devi, Kalki-Jayanti, Ashada month and Shreemati Varahi-Devi Navaratri



This line is from Cathy Dennis "Touch Me (All Night Long)" song, which was actually was sung by Fonda Rae at first - http://goo.gl/v6LR1e

Yes, The Love of Krishna took hold of me, so I am...hehehe...hehehe...too shy to speak about what we are doing with Him........

I thought I have gobbled most of the Vaishnava Books in English, printed in Kali-Yuga, but this summer My Precious BhagavanKrishna as usually has directed me to more Books. 

I am reading the TRULY ASTONISHING biography of Om Vishnupad Parashara Bhatta (published by Vishishtadvaita Research Centre), which I will upload later. 

I also have about 20 (!!!!!!!!!!) new Books from Madhwa-Sampradaya. 

A lot of Books about SHREE-VIDYA and about the Worship of Shreemati Lalita Tripura Sundari Devi and Shreemati Durga Devi (mostly in Hindi and Sanskrit). 
As you remember Shreemati Lakshmi-Devi in "Shree Lakshmi-Tantra" asked all of us (I mean the dasis of Our Beloved Goddess Shreemati Lakshmika-Devi) to study all Shakti-Sampradaya Books and I study These Books with my heart fluttering. 
And I am always joking with Krishna, that the Books, Devoted to Him are rather boring (for example, "Bhagavata-Purana" is extremely boring) while all the Books of Shakti-Sampradaya are AMAZING AND SUPERIOUR, but Krishna never gets hurt by such the jokes of His younger and childish wife!
Still after "Saundarya-Lahari" and "Ananda Lahari" of Om Vishnupad Shankara-Acharya I am in the state of aesthetic and soul elevation, thence I am keeping the Both Books as the most precious stones in the world. 
What more? After adding some new Kavachas and Stavas to my sadhana, a third mole (bindu) appeared on my forehead!!! I will publish the photos later. Actually, I was extremely dreaming of the third mole appearing on my forehead, as I consider these bindus the Stamps of my belonging to Shreemati Lakshmi-Devi and Shreemati Krishna-Devi (hahaha, Krishna Devi, only Krishna will understand this joke of mine!!!). 

So, I was dreaming of the third bindu, which would be the sign of my belonging to Shreemati Durga-Devi as well!!!! And now the bindu is stamped on my forehead. 

What more? It is Shreemati Varahi-Devi Navaratri now, incredible and beautiful Holiday, Devoted to One of my most Venerated Matrikas!!!

And don't forget, that Ashad month will rule till the end of July 2014, but after this the Shravana Masa will follow and the very special Kalki Jayanti, the Day I am waiting for so very much. 

So the summer is extremely oversaturated with various events, so I will not write to blog very often, but I will kiss Krishna often instead...In His Most Private Parts too...And do various nasty things with Him together...And running naked in our mansion too...And making Him to go with me in the shower in the morning (Krishna is Over-Protective, so He tenderly carries me in His Hands to the shower)...HAHAHAHAHA...UMMMMMMMM....I FEEL VERY, VERY HAPPY, WHEN I AM WITH HIM ONLY...

By the way, don't forget, that Bhagavan Shree Krishna is considered to be the Highest Enjoyable Subject by Our Vaishnava Acharyas (and Other Vaishnava Acharyas too)...It means, that once you are with Krishna, you just can't leave Him, because everything will be pale, pallid and insipid in comparison with Our Black Sapphire!!!
