Лакшми-Авеша и "МахаБхарата-Татпарья-Нирная" Шри МадхвАчарьи...

Update от 03-авг-2018: Добавлена новая, очень обширная статья, посвященная такой теме как "Лакшми-Авеша" - http://vishnudut1926.blogspot.com/2018/08/Lakshmi-Avesha-Madhvacharya-russian.html

Одна из самых интересных идей в #"Шри МахаБхарата-Татпарья-Нирнае"# ОМ ВишнуПад Шри МадхвАчарьи - это идея Лакшми-Авеши!

Шри МадхвАчарья рассказывает об этой идее, когда объясняет Шри Дварака-Лилу Кришны. 

При изучении Шри Дварака-Лилы у многих может возникнуть вопрос: "16108 Принцесс Кришны в Двараке были Аватарами Шримати Лакшми-Деви или нет?"

Да, были Аватарами, но разными! В реальности Абсолютными Аватарами были лишь Шримати Рукмини-Деви и Шримати СатьяБхама-Деви. 

Шри МадхвАчарья использует термин "Пурна-Аватара" ("Полная, Абсолютная Аватара"), когда рассказывает о Шримати Рукмини-Деви и Шримати Сатьябхаме-Деви.

А все остальные принцессы были Лакшми-Авешами. "Авеша" [आवेश - Aveza] - это несколько хитрое слово на Санскрите. Оно означает "захват, вхождение, овладение".

В Санскрите это слово используют как в демонологии (в Шри ПанчаРатре и "Шри Лакшми-Тантре", кстати, есть Главы, посвященные борьбе с одержимостью призраками/демонами, потому что Вайшнава-брахманы и Вайшнава-тантрики часто занимаются экзорцизмом), так и в Божественном смысле, а именно в смысле "Бог (Богиня) входит в кого-либо, чтобы действовать через него".

В Гаудия-Сампрадае, например, есть такое понятие как Шакти-Авеша-Аватара, оно очень ёмко объясняет смысл "Авеши".

Так или иначе, возвращаясь к Лакшми и объяснениям Шри МадхвАчарьи, - остальные Принцессы действительно были именно Лакшми-Авешами. Так что, если будете в Двараке, девчонки, то не перепутайте кто есть кто!

"Шри Кришна-Карнамрита", 200 потерянных стихов, криптограммы БилваМангала Тхакура и тантрическая Гопала-Видья в рамках Шри Видьи...

Synopsis in English: My new Russian research dedicated to 2 versions of "Shree Krishna-Karnamrita" by Shree BilvaMangala Thakura and their distinctive traits: 1. Bengali (112 Verses) - widely acclaimed by Gaudiya-Sampradaya and 2. South Indian (300 Verses with Tikas by Papayallaya Suri) - more famous in South India. 

Да, девчонки, давно у меня не было постов на русском. Я как наивная лохнесса в последнее время пишу на английском, веря в то, что каждый житель России свободно говорит и читает на английском, хотя в реальности таких гиков и хикканов (в позитивном смысле), наверное, процентов 10%.

В общем, время от времени я буду делать небольшие посты на русском, тем более, что я его вроде бы ещё не забыла на фоне Хинди, английского и Санскрита!

Небольшая предыстория этого поста. У меня в блоге несколько дней назад был

The division of Puranas (Satvika, Rajasika, Tamasika) explained...

Shree AnandaTirtha (MadhvAcharya) in "Shree MahaBharata-Tatparya-Nirnaya" mentions the classic division of Puranas: 6 Satvika Puranas, 6 Rajasa Puranas and 6 Tamasika Puranas.  

Apart from this division a less known classification from "Shree Garuda-Purana" (Moksha-Kanda) exists, it mentions only 3 Puranas as truly Satvika in Kali-Yuga - "Shree Vishnu-Purana", "Shree Bhagavata-Purana" and "Shree Garuda-Purana", but OM VishnuPad Shree MadhvAcharya follows to the standard and more well-known 6-fold classification.

Shree AnandaTirtha, "Shree MahaBharata-Tatparya-Nirnaya": "Sri Vyasa taught Rgveda to Paila. Krishna Yajurveda to Vaisampayana. Shukla Yajurveda to Surya. Samaveda to Jaimini. Atharvana Veda to Sumantu. He taught all the lores to His son Suka and Narada. 

Then, Sri Vyasa created Romaharsana as a Suta by caste and instructed him to propagate Itihasa, Purana and PanchaRatra. He instructed SanatKumara, Bhrgu and Jaimini to propagate DhyanaYoga, Karmayoga and Karma-Mimamsa respectively. 

Sri Vyasa himself composed the first and the last sutras of DaiviMimamsa and asked Paila and Sesa to compose the whole text. 

Further, he edited:
1. The 6 Satvika Puranas viz. Vishnu, Narada, Bhagavata, Garuda, Padma and Varaha based on PanchaRatra.
2. The 6 Rajasa Puranas viz., Brahma, Brahmanda, Brahmavaivarta, Markandeya, Bhavisya and Vamana based on superficial references in Vedas, and 
3. The 6 Tamasa Puranas viz. Matsya, Kurma, Linga, Siva, Skanda and Agni based on Pashupata Agama".

What is Bhagavata-Dharma and what makes a human tamasika?

GREAT EXCERPT FROM #MAHABHARATA TATPARYA-NIRNAYA" BY OM VISHNUPAD SHREE MADHVACHARYA (ANANDATIRTHA)#. BHISMA EXPLAINS BHAGAVATA-DHARMA TO PANDAVAS:

Bhisma said “to follow Bhagavata dharma is highest Dharma". He stated the essential points of Bhagavata dharma:

i) Vishnu is The Supreme Deity, everyone else is under His control 

ii) All other deities are His devotees

iii) one should perform one’s duties without aiming at any benefit 

iv) one should not do anything that is opposed to the devotees of Vishnu.

Further, Bhisma stated the duties of the four classes of people: 

i) A brahmana should perform his prescribed duties. He should not cause any pain to anyone, 

ii) A brahmana should not earn his livelihood. He should maintain himself by teaching and priestly profession, 

iii) A ksatriya should protect the people, 

iv) He should use sama, dana etc. carefully 

v) A vaisya should undertake agriculture, commerce, money lending etc. 

vi) A sudra should serve the other 3 classes for his maintenance, 

vii) Brahmana has to dissiminate knowledge. If a brahmana is not available a ksatriya or vaisya may do so. 

viii) Men of first three classes can study all lores (Vidyas) including Vedas. Women can study Itihasa and Purana.***

***Note by Vishnudut1926: Women and shudras actually belong to tamasika persons, but they can obtain Mukti via Vaishnava Itihasa, Puranas and Bhakti. See all the classic Pramanas from "Shree Vedanta-Sutra" and, for example, Shree Vadiraja-Tirtha glosses to "Shree Rukminisha-Vijaya" regarding this theme:


Besides, for example, #"Shree Iswara-Samhita"# (Vaishnava-PanchaRatra), Verse 4.202 says - शुद्रैस्तु स्थापिते स्त्रीभिः तामसाख्यं समाचरेत्  - shudraistu sthApite strIbhiH tAmasAkhyaM samAcharet - "Temples constructed by shudras and women belong to tamasika kind"...

Bhisma also explained the nature of three types of persons viz. sattvika, rajasa, and tamasa: 

i) The tamasa persons do not consider Vishnu as Supreme:

a. They treat Him as equal to other deities. 
b. They also do not consider Vishnu as possessing infinite number of qualities. 
c. They distinguish between His MulaRupa and AvataraRupa. 
d. They think that Visnu undergoes pleasure and pain, birth and death in AvataraRupas.

These people will fall into deep darkness. 

ii) Middle level (rajasa) people will be born again and again as men (humans, manushya). 

iii) Those who have firm and right knowledge about Bhagavan Shree Vishnu (satvika persons, who DON'T follow to the above mentioned errors of tamasika people) are superior people. They attain Mukti".

Shree Lakshmi-Avesha and Dwaraka-Leela...

UPDATE FROM 05-AUG-2018: YOU CAN FIND NEW, EXTENDED ARTICLE ABOUT LAKSHMI-AVESHA (WITH A LOT OF SANSKRIT PRAMANAS) HERE - http://vishnudut1926.blogspot.com/2018/08/Lakshmi-Avesha-ENG-Madhva-Siddhanta.html


**************************************

THE FOLLOWING EXCERPT FROM #MAHABHARATA TATPARYANIRNAYA OF SRI ANANDATEERTHA# [PAGE 90]  EXPLAINS THAT ONLY SHREEMATI RUKMINI-DEVI AND SHREEMATI SATYABHAMA-DEVI WERE THE FULL AVATARAS OF SHREEMATI LAKSHMI-DEVI DURING DWARAKA LEELA, WHILE OTHER PRINCESSES HAD ONLY "LAKSHMI-AVESHA" IN THEM: 

"Krishna married Kalindi the sister of Yamuna. He married Nila by controlling seven bulls simultaneously. 

Shri Krishna married Mitravinda defeating her brothers Vinda and Anuvinda. He also married Bhadra and Laksmana. 

The condition for seeking the hand of Laksmana was more difficult than that of Draupadi. The aim of the arrow was placed reverting it and the arrow had to move above and hit it moving back. 

Jarasandha, Duryodhana and others failed. Arjuna tried, but deliberately did not hit. He knew that She was to be married by Shri Krishna. Bhima did not even look at the bow out of high regard for Shri Krishna. 
These marriages resulted in Shri Krishna having 8 Queens: Rukmini, Satyabhama, Jambavati, Kalindi, Nila, Mitravinda, Bhadra and Laksmana.  
The first two were Full Incarnations of Goddess Lakshmi. The others had only the avesha of Lakshmi".

English annotation by Vishnudut1926: Classic Grantha from Shree Madhva-Vaishnava-Sampradaya (Tattvavada, Dvaita), a part of SarvaMoola-Grantha by OM VishnuPad Shree MadhvAcharya (also known as Shree AnandaTirtha). 

1. According to Shree Madhva-Sampradaya some editions of "Shree MahaBharata" were interpolated and fabricated by asuras in Kali-Yuga, that's why Shree MadhvAcharya wrote "Shree MahaBharata TatparyaNirnaya" - a treatise explaining MahaBharata-Siddhanta in the right Vaishnava-key. 

2. As for "Sri Bhagavata-Tatparya-Nirnaya" it explains the separate Verses from "Shree Bhagavata-Purana" and especially those Verses which are usually wrongly interpreted by advaitins (asuras, mayavadis). 

The edition is in English-Sanskrit, but the knowledge of Sanskrit is necessary, because some Verses are not translated and some Sanskrit words in the English sentences are written in Devanagari (without transcription/translation). 

The scan quality is perfect, especially for 10-inches android tablet (I have been reading in #Readera# on "Sepia" settings)!

Shree Durga wall [Varanasi]...


I  nearly died from joy when I saw this wall with Shreemati Durga-Devi! Wish all the houses were made from such painted walls! 

The screenshot is from Varanasi-dedicated vlog by Kritika Goel, very much recommended for watching - https://youtu.be/i5F7Xh9CO8U

Да, девчонки, я сегодня писала у себя в #plurk# про гениальную стену из Варанаси с изображениями Шримати Дурги-Деви.  Это из влога Kritika Goel, там 3 части посвящены Варанаси, очень рекомендую к просмотру -  https://youtu.be/i5F7Xh9CO8U

Shree JnanaLakshmi...


"Vedanta Desika strictly follows Ramanuja. He never tolerates the slightest difference between his conclusions and the writings of Ramanuja. 

Even where there are certain apparent contradictions, they are solved in a very significant manner. In addition to this, he also contributes his own conclusions which are based upon scriptures, writings of great Acharyas, logic and experience. 

Thus buddhi has received a very handsome treatment at the hands of Vedanta Desika. 

He compares buddhi to Goddess Lakshmi. This JnanaLakshmi is being served by the ShriSuktis (auspicious statements) of Ramanuja and bestows the desired objects to devotees. 

She has climbed the peak of Vedanta mountain and there She is enjoying the unbounded bliss ensued by the company of the Lord Damodara. 

Shree JnanaLakshmi, Who is Bhakti-Svarupini and NityAnanda-Svarupini, come to our heart to lead us towards Vasudeva".

Krishna within you, arrogance, asuras, tamasika Puranas and "to all except those of an asuric nature"...

"SRI KRISHNA KARNAMRITA OF LILASUKA" [English translation] #by M. K. Acharya# ~1948~

DOWNLOAD (Sanskrit-English)

English annotation by Vishnudut1926: Nice 1948 edition, speedread in 1 hour for me. 

I don't remember to which Vaishnava-Sampadaya Bilvamangala Thakur  (Lilasuka) belonged, but judging from some Verses of "Shree Krishna-Karnamrita" he was a Shri-Vidya (Lalita TripuraSundari upasaka). 

He mentions Panchakshari-Shiva Mantra often (for example, Verse 2.24):

Not only this - the following Verse is very exemplary and sounds like pure Shri-Vidya (by the way if you read just English variant, you don't notice Lalita Names, the reason I noticed is that I belong to Shri-Vidya and my eyes see Sanskrit Names of Goddess - especially with "ल - LA" - Lakshmi, Lalita -  even if I speedread):

Wikipedia also says about Gopala-Sundari-Vidya - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Krishna_Karnamrutam

No wonder about this as many Shree Vidya-upasakas are often initiated in various Gopala-Vidyas (Krishna-Vidyas) because Krishna (Gopala) is more famous among Shakta-Tantriks than among Vaishnava-Tantriks (see Gopala-Khanda of "Shree Sharada-Tilaka-Tantram", for example).

English annotation by Vishnudut1926: I could not imagine that English translation of "Shree Ishwara-Samhita" (a part of Orthodox Shree PanchaRatra) exists, because the English translations of the Orthodox PanchaRatra are very rare. 

"Shree Lakshmi-Tantra" translated by Sanjukta Gupta and #"Shree Parama-Samhita" translated by Dr. S. KrishnaSwami Aiyangar# are just very rare examples. 

This translation is the exemplary one - a lot of wise notes and explanations for English readers, precisely edited Sanskrit and etc., the perfect example of how any Tantra/Agama translation should look like! 
Volume NO. 01 is the separate research dedicated to "Shree PanchaRatra" in toto. The Chapter NO. 16 dwelling on jiva-tattva and explaining that jiva = ChitShakti (Orthodox Siddhanta from "Shree Lakshmi-Tantram") is outstanding. Don't miss if you are collecting surveys devoted to Vaishnava-PanchaRatra-Agama!

VISHNUCHITTA (PERIYA ALWAR) - 2 BOOKS ["Tirumozhi Sublime Hymns" by V. Rajagopalan + "Vishnuchitta" by prof. K. V. Ramakrishnamacharya]

DOWNLOAD (ENGLISH): 

English annotation by Vishnudut1926: I have decided to unite these 2 Books in 1 upload, as both dedicated to Vishnuchitta Alwar (also known as Periya Alvar). 
Periya Alvar epitomizes 2 sides of Vatsalya-Bhava (adoring BalaKrishna in parental mood), because He (Vishnuchitta) was not only the foster father of Shreemati Andal-Devi (Avatara of Bhu-Devi), but the author of Bhakti-poetry devoted to Shreemati Yashoda-Devi and BalaGopala as well. 
The upload consists of 2 Books: 

1. "Periyazhvar Tirumozhi Sublime Hymns of Mystic Consciousness" by Vankeepuram Rajagopalan - elaborate and poetic English translation of "Periyazhvar Tirumozhi". 

2. "Vishnuchitta" K. V. Ramakrishnamacharya [Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams 2015] - simple biography of Periya Alwar on about 40 pages.
