Purple Beauty

Incredible Theme from Adobe Kuler - https://kuler.adobe.com/Purple-Beauty-color-theme-1963000/

If you are going to design Stotras, Devoted to Bhagavan Shree Krishna, I advice to use this theme.

As for me personally, I will design the Most Cherished Krishna Stotras of mine in this palette.

"Shree Krishna Kavacha" (from "Shree Garga-Samhita", Goloka Khanda, Chapter 13, Verses 15-22), श्रीकृष्ण कवचं, shrIkRRiShNa kavachaM

I always name this Kavacha as "Shree Gopi Kavacha" in spite of the fact that Its Name is "Shree Krishna Kavacha" (from "Shree Garga-Samhita", Goloka Khanda, Chapter 13, Verses 15-22).

To be precise, the Name should be "Bala Krishna Kavacha", as This Kavacha was sung by Gopis specially for the Safety of Bala Krishna (Infant Krishna).  

This is one of The Highest Kavachas (see the last line - "श्रीकृष्ण कवचं परम् - shrIkRRiShNa kavachaM param"). 

During re-typing into UNIC I have referred to 3 Variants for checking and proofreading: 

1) Sanskrit-Hindi Variant of "Shree Garga-Samhita" ("GARGA-SAMHITA", SANSKRIT-HINDI, Lala Shyamalala, Shyamakashi Press Mathura, Khemaraj Shree Krishnadas, Venkateshwar Press) - http://vishnudut1926.blogspot.ru/2013/05/garga-samhita-sanskrit-hindi-lala.html 

2) This PDF-Variant - http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/2182732/252505112/name/Sri+Krishna+Kavacham+-+Garga+Samhita.pdf

3) And this Variant - http://nitaaiveda.com/All_Scriptures_By_Acharyas/Pancharatra/Garga_Samhita.htm

Bridal Mysticism!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I liked very much the expression "BRIDAL MYSTICISM" from the following 2 articles, Devoted to Shreemati Andal-Devi. 

And the articles are excellent too (Article 001 link and Article 002 link)

This month I am retyping all The Stavas, Devoted to Shreemati Goda-Devi and my retyped Variants of "Goda Prapatti" and "Goda Chatusshloki" are being checked for mistakes by me now. 

UMMMMMMM, aren't these bags sweet?????????????????????????????????

These bags were found by me in sale today. I have been digging in the box with beauticians for around 6 minutes, because I knew, I would find 3 bags of such cute design and I found (yes, when you the girl of Bhagavan Shree Krishna, you have super-developed girlish beauty bag intution). 

Cute! Cute! Cute! I have purchased the last 3 ones. See the photo on box, dropbox, minus

I will keep my beads in them and some Krishna-related things. 

Usually we are not allowed to show the beads, so I will show only the ones from my collection.

These beads were made for me for Worshipping the Mantra of Bhagavan Shree Varaha. 

I am still proud of the stones chosen (green and white marble), pink coil and the colour palette itself. 

Do you remember the colour palette of "108 Names of Bhagavan Shree Varaha" from this post - http://vishnudut1926.blogspot.ru/2014/05/redesign-of-stutis-kavachas-and.html

Yes, its shades perfectly suits to the beads!!!

And I want to end this post with kisses and hugs to Bhagavan Shree Krishna as usually

"SHREE LAKSHMI DWADASHA NAMA STOTRAM" (श्रीलक्ष्मीद्वादशनामस्तोत्रम्)

This is The Vaishnava Version of "Shree Lakshmi Dwadasha Nama", but there are some Versions of "Shree Lakshmi Dwadasha Nama" in Shaktik Sampradayas.

I recite both Versions and I am dreaming about finding more Dwadasha Namas of Shreemati Lakshmi Devi, as for example, I have more than 4 Dwadasha Namas, Dedicated to Bhagavan Shree Krishna.

Thanks very much to http://prapatti.com/ and the greatest gratitudes to this site Owners, because the following variant is based on the  Sanskrit version from http://prapatti.com/

"SHREE GOPALA KAVACHA" - without this Kavacha the Worship of Bhagavan Shree Gopala is ineffective and results in the death of sadhaka

"Shree Gopala Kavacha" is The Precious Gift of Bhagavan Shree Krishna for all of us. This Kavacha is very simple to learn, no Nyasas (Anga Nyasas and etc.) are required.

In comparison with "Shree Narayana Kavacha" or "Shree Varaha Kavacha", "Shree Gopala Kavacha" is very simple, but don't be deceived by such the simplicity, because this is one of the most powerful Kavachas in this Kali-Yuga.

If you recite Gopala-Mantras without reciting "Shree Gopala-Kavacha" at first, then all the Gopala-Mantras will be ineffective.

Yes, sounds very scary and it is true, as thus it is written in "Shree Narada PanchaRatra", that is these are the Words of Bhagavan Shree Narayana.

I will cite the translation of P.R.Ramachander here: "Oh Goddess , if one is ignorant of this armour even if one worships Gopala, Or chants , does fire sacrifices and performs worship it would all be in vain And he would reach his end by the wound caused by a weapon".

As usually retyped in UNIC (using Google Input Tools) by me (Vishnudut1926).

Don't hesitate to learn The Kavacha ASAP, the Kavacha is incredibly simple and I have achieved the incredible speed in reciting "Shree Gopala Kavacha" even in my very first days of learning The Kavacha.

"Shree Venkateshvara Vajra Kavacha Stotram" (ve~NkaTeshvaravajrakavachastotram, वेङ्कटेश्वरवज्रकवचस्तोत्रम्)

If someone ambushes you with question: "Is there something like "Mahamrityunjaya Mantra" in Vaishnava Sampradays, something which shatters the fear of death, then you always can set "Shree Venkateshvara Vajra Kavacha Stotram" as the most ideal example.

This Stotra must be read in the morning and in the evening. The overall plead of the Stotra is the plead to protect the person from the fear of death, to protect a jiva itself in post-mortem period and to protect jiva always on the path of Bhakti / Prapatti.

New Tumblr blog, devoted to Stavas, Kavachas, Namavalis

All the Stavas, Kavachas and Namavalis retyped by me, will be posted in my second Tumblr-blog.

Why? Let's call it Internet backup, it is always good to store something Very Precious for you in the second version.

http://vishnustavas.tumblr.com/

Shree Laghu Vishnu Sahasranam (laghu viShNusahasranAmastava, लघु विष्णुसहस्रनामस्तव:)

This is very interesting Stava, which resembles Dwadasha Nama Stotras. 

If you gather Dwadasha Nama Stotras, devoted to Bhagavan Shree Vishnu, don't hesitate to include "Shree Laghu Vishnu Sahasranam" in your compilations.

Phala Shruti is incredible, but this is the case for all Dwadasha Nama Stotras of Bhagavan Shree Vishnu.  

Based on the following version - http://nellitheertha.com/mantras/vishnu/laghu-vishnu-sahasra-nama-sans.pdf

Beautiful evening

Standing in the park today, at about 20:30, listening to "Fooling around" by Cherrelle and thinking about Shree Krishna, Shreemati Lakshmi Devi and Shreemati Durga Devi.

Incredible, magic feeling, providing the fact that "Fooling around" is arranged in dreamy style. 

The sun was setting down and the smoke fragrance were flying in the air...Beautiful evening...

108 Names of Bhagavan Shree Venkatesha (श्री वेङ्कटेश्वर अष्टोत्तरम्, shrI ve~NkaTeshvara aShTottaram)

Re-typed by me in Google Input as usually. Very beautiful Namavali with the special accent on Shree Lakshmi-Siddhanta (see, for example, The Mantra NO. 002 and 107). 

As for me, I have chosen the following colour pallette for my Variant (in the style of SCI-FI mainframes!!!):

Thanks very much to http://www.sadagopan.org/, because the following variant is totally based on The Book SS095 - Venkatesa ashtothram - Brahmanda Puranam - http://sadagopan.org/index.php/categories/doc_download/841-ss095-venkatesa-ashtothram-brahmanda-puranam

Shree MahaLakshmi Prapatti (shrI mahAlakShmI prapattiH, श्री महालक्ष्मी प्रपत्ति)

From now on all the Stotras, retyped by me, will be posted in plain text format (UNIC and ITRANS). 

So every prapanna of Shreemati Lakshmi-Devi and Bhagavan Shree Narayana could copy-paste it and make her own variant according to her taste!!! I mean in her own colour palettes, with favourite fonts, Images and etc. 

The first Stotra to share is "Shree MahaLakshmi Prapatti". 

Thanks very much to http://prapatti.com/ and the greatest gratitudes to this site Owners, because the following variant is based on the  Sanskrit version from http://prapatti.com/ 

As for me I have made 2 variants with Images of Shreemati Ashta-Lakshmi-Devi in 2 various colour palettes (black-red and pink-white), but I will make more variants lately.

From AV024 - Thiru vaikunta vinnagaram - http://sadagopan.org/index.php/component/docman/doc_details/341-av024-thiru-vaikunta-vinnagaram

"Sri  NrusimhAvathAram  has  been  enjoyed  by  many  AzhwArs  and  AcharyAs.  

The suddenness and the totally unexpected avathAram of the Lord to maintain the integrity of His bhakthan’s statement  on the pervasive immanence of his Lord in every object, the fierce form of the Lord and His blinding brilliance has  overpowered  the  imagination  of  many  Kavi  srEshtAs,  AzhwArs  and AchAryAs".

"Bhaktas of Bhagavan Shree Vishnu never suffer" - Part 01 - "The Boon to Brahma"

Throughout these years I often stumbled across the silly statements like "Krishna can send sufferings to bhakta in order to give a lesson and etc."

Everytime I stumble across such stupid claims, I refute them immediatelly with Vaishnava Pramans, because Krishna protects His bhaktas from all the sufferings. 

This spring I have decided to compile around 3 articles devoted to various Pramans, proving that bhaktas of Bhagavan Shree Vishnu never suffer. 

One can ask: "But in this world we can see a lot of people claiming to be bhaktas, but dying from cancer, for example. And some people go to die from cancer and other ailments in Vrindavan. How to explain this?"

The explanation is simple and cruel here: "These suffering people are not bhaktas at all!".

Moreover, we all know that one of the most crucial parts of Shree Ramanuja-Siddhanta states: "Bhakti-Yoga CAN'T burn prarabdha-karma, only Prapatti can". 

And the very crucial part of "Shree Pancharatra" states that "all the good is given to a jiva by Bhagavan Shree Narayana, while all the bad is given to jiva by his\her own bad karma". ("Shree Parama-Samhita", 24.14-17). 

So, if someone suffers, he\she can blame only his own bad karma. 

The first part of the compilation is devoted to the story about the Boon to Brahma from "Shree Padma-Purana". 

This Chapter is devoted to The Prayer of Brahma in reply to which Bhagavan Shree Narayana has granted to Brahma (and all the Vaishnava Bhaktas) the Very Special Boon. 

I insistently recommend to read this Chapter in Sanskrit and if you read the Entire Chapter in front of the Murti of Bhagavan Shree Vishnu in Sanskrit, then...(see the last lines of this article!!!). 

"SHREE PADMA-PURANA", Volume 10, page 3343 

(see this link in my Library - http://vishnudut1926.blogspot.ru/2013/01/blog-post_21.html)

Brahma said: 

61-64. Salutation to The Highest God Who destroys all the pains of him who submitted himself to Him.

Salutation to Him of the nature of the three gunas, to Bhagavan Shree Narayana of The Unlimited Valour. 

Men who have resorted to Your Lotus-Like Feet, never meet with a calamity. 

O, You of The Infinite Fame, I have known this. 

You have instantly removed this great calamity of me. 

You Are The Lord of all the Siddhis. You are Always Benevolent. 

O Lord of the three worlds, O God of gods, O Protector of those who seek Your Shelter, O God, though You protected me from being destroyed by the cruel host of demons, and killed these two demons, and though these two (demons) Madhu and Kaitabha are very ruthless, yet mentally I look upon them as our own kinsmen, since they pleased you, The God giving all auspicious (objects), by giving you the boon of the destruction of their own life. 

65-69. O Lord of gods, to that man, at whom you look with pity, the three worlds are charming; all his enemies along with (the members of) their families

gOpa kanyA bhujanga: laLitha: Jayathy

The Last Verses of "Gopala Vimshati" by Swami Vedanta Deshika Acharya are TRULY INCREDIBLE.

My favourite Lines are about Shreemati Nappinai Devi and the commentary about Bhakta Jivatu, that is "Lord Gopal  is  Bhaktha JeevAthu since the bhakthan can not live or survive without Him". 

And the following Line is incredibly beautiful: gOpa kanyA bhujanga: laLitha: Jayathy

"Gopala Vimsati" by Swami Vedanta Deshika Acharya is SS022 - Gopala vimsati at Sadagopan.org Library - http://sadagopan.org/index.php/categories/doc_details/139-ss022-gopala-vimsati

VERSE 18: THE BEAUTY OF RAJAGOPALA SVAROOPAM 

(MEANING):  

Lord Gopalan showing great affection for the Gopis stands before them in resplendent attire. 

He strikes a pose at that time with his tender right hand holding the shepherd's bent stick; his left hand rests on the shoulder of the beautiful Nappinnai; that touch of Gopalan sends shivers of joy over Nappinnai's body. 

That beautiful Gopalan has tucked his flute inside his waist  band  and  has  additional  decoration  in  the  form  of  a  chain  of  Kunrumani  beads  tied across his own dark hair pulled up in the form of a bun. 

He shines with his dark blue hue, reminiscent of the clouds in the rainy season and wins over the Gopis with his formidable beauty. 

He roams around with great desire for union with Gopis.   

(COMMENTARIES):  

In this slOkam, Swamy Desikan admires the standing posture of the Lord and concedes that this sevai is even more beautiful to enjoy compared to the decorations and VeNu ghAnam. 

What is it that overpowered Swamy Desikan? 

In this sEvai, He has a sportive baton (leelA Yashti) in His right hand and His left arm is resting on the shoulder of His dear Nappinnai. 

The waist of His beautiful blue body (mEga syAma tanu) holds a flute with the decoration of gunja beads. 

He shines victorious in this posture as the paramour of the Gopis (gOpa kanyA bhujanga: laLitha: Jayathy).   

VERSE 19:  THE JALA KREETA OF GOPALAN 

(MEANING):  

Gopalan desirous of performing water sports with the Gopis tucked tightly his garments. 

He took in his hands the water pump used in those sports. 

He approached one of the Gopis, who was standing with one foot forward in the water and the other planted backward on the land. 

He surprised her from behind and embraced her tightly. That Gopi was overpowered by that delectable  experience  and  partially  closed  her  eyes  and  looked  at  Gopalan  with  half-open eyes.  

He  returned  her  affectionate  glances.  Their  eyes  met.  

May  that  Gopala  engaged  in water sports with the Gopis as their lover protect us, since he is the medicine for his devotees suffering from the afflictions of Samsaara! 

(COMMENTARIES):  

Swamy  Desikan  enjoys  the  Lord  sporting  with  the  Gopis  using  water  pumps (PeecchAnkuzhal)  on  the  banks  of  YamunA  River.  

His  garments  are  tucked  tight  (Vaari kreeDA niBiDa vasana:) so He can move rapidly and escape the pursuit of the Gopis. 

When He stands in one place surveying the scene, He has the PrathyAleeDa pose (with  his left leg firmly planted on ground and His right leg behind it like an archer ready to send his arrow (PrathyAleeDa sthithim adhigathAm). 

He moves and surprises a Dear Gopi by embracing Her from behind, which in turn makes Her close Her eyes in a state of bliss and He looks at Her adoringly  (PaschAth  miLina  nayanam  PrEyaseem  prEkshyamANa:).  

He  holds  the  water sport  instrument  (pump)  in  His  hands  (bhasthrA  Yanthra  praNihitha  kara:).  He  is  the protector  of  the  souls  (Bhaktha  JeevAthu)  and  is  the  Gopi  Jana  Vallabhan.  

He  is  Bhaktha JeevAthu since the bhakthan can not live or survive without Him. 

He is thus the PrANan for the jeevan. 

May that enchanting Lord protect us (Na: avyAth)!  

Shree Yamuna Ashtakam ("SHRI YAMUNASHTKAM") by Shree Shreemad Vallabha Acharya

I have been searching for the Sanskrit Variant of Shri Yamunashtkam by Shree Shreemad Vallabha Acharya in order to redesign The Ashtaka for my Android readers, but I even could not imagine, that I will find the incredibly designed Variant completely ready for the upload to the readers!!!!!!!

See these very beautiful 9 Images. When I recite "Shree Yamuna Ashtakam", I just use ES Android Viewer and list the Images, while I am reciting.

The Gopis naturally fall for Him head over heels

I liked Verses 11 and 17 from "Gopala Vimsati" by Vedanta Deshika Acharya very much! If you read them together, they aesthetically and contextually fit into each other very much!

The notes about the mesmerizing influence of The Flute of Bhagavan Shree Gopal are incredibly precious!!!

And these 2 Lines from the the commentaries are Superb:

"Swamy Desikan describes now the Kithava vEsham put on by the GopAla Baalan to bring the Gopis under His total control" 

and 

"The Gopis naturally fall for Him head over heels". 

"Gopala Vimsati" by Swami Vedanta Deshika Acharya is SS022 - Gopala vimsati at Sadagopan.org Library - http://sadagopan.org/index.php/categories/doc_details/139-ss022-gopala-vimsati

VERSE 11:  MEDITATION ON THE BEAUTY OF VENUGOPALAN 

(MEANING):  

VeNugopAlan  plays  on  his  flute  and  creates  delightful  music  and  casts  his  most  merciful glances on the Gopis. 

They are totally captivated by his friendly smile and the divine music originating from His flute. 

At this time, His cool and welcoming eyes resemble a pair of just- blossomed  lotuses  in  the  river  of  His  mercy  (Dayaa).  

May  this  enchanting  youth  Gopala protect me always! 

(COMMENTARIES): 

In this slOkam, Swamy Desikan begs the Lord take him to His side even if He could not come  to  him.

 Even  if  that  were  not  possible,  Swamy  Desikan  pleads  for  the  rain  of  His KaruNaa  Kadaaksham  to  drench  him.  

KrishNan  is  delighting  the  minds,  ears  and  eyes  of Gopis with His VeNu gAnam and Raasa Kreedai on the banks of the Yamuna river. 

Swamy Desikan  appeals  to  the  busy  Lord  this  way:  You  might  not  be  able  to  leave  the  banks  of Yamunai  and  come  to  my  side.  

In  that  case,  please  bring  me  to  your  side  through  the enchanting power of Your VeNu GhAnam. 

Please bless me with your karuNA KadAksham. That would be my protection. 

Bring me close to you like you get the wandering calves and cows to your side with the sound of Your VeNu. Sthree bhAvEna vipralambha srungAram anubhavathy. 

Dr.V.N.  VedAntha  Desikan  sums  up  the  message  of  the  11th  slOkam  this  way:  “Gopala’s flute plays a role in tandem with the lovely glance, smile and mental wish. 

Indeed the flute-music might be audible only to the Gopis or even to the Particular Gopi (KaaRRinilE varum gheetham).  

Such  a  lovely  music  might  even  be  meant  for  the  cows,  to  which  they  would respond appropriately. 

Both (the music of the flute and His eye glances) are love-inciting. 

Both cause an instant captivation to the Gopis. 

The glances are faultless, the smiles are also faultless, both are cool but not chilly. 

The eyes are like lotus in the stream of Gopala’s daya. 

May He safeguard me with those glances! 

May He call me, by name, with His flute!”. 

VERSE 17: DECORATIONS, ENHANCING THE BEAUTY OF VENUGOPALAN 

(MEANING):  

The mischievous Gopalan, who stole the youth of the Gopis appears before them with many decorations  that  enhance  His  beauty.  

On  his  ears,  the  Gopis  find  the  flower  known  as Laangali (Flower from the coconut tree's sheaf/Tennampaalai flower); peacock feathers are found by them on his dark and curly tresses; red hibiscus also decorates those tresses. 

On his broad chest, they find a beautiful necklace made of yellowish-red seeds known as Gunjaa or Kunrumani  strung  together.  With  these  and  more  AabharaNaas  made  of  forest  products, Gopala enchants the hearts of the adoring Gopis.  

(COMMENTARIES):  

Swamy Desikan describes now the Kithava vEsham put on by the GopAla Baalan to bring the Gopis under His total control. 

Kitavan is one who is a pOkkiri (bemusing rogue).  

He is an enchanter and at the same time is a mischief maker (KuRumbhan). 

The Gopis naturally fall for Him head over heels. 

He has the red hibiscus (Bandhujeevam) in His hand. Over His ears, He  has  placed  a  Laangali  flower.  

On  His  tresses  are  the  peacock  feathers.  

GrAmya bhUshaNams and His kalyANa guNams adorn Him. 

MahA Lakshmi resides on His chest in the form of the necklace made of KunRu MaNi seeds. 

He steals the hearts of the Gopis with His kithava vEsham.  His charm and novel AabharaNams make the Gopis succumb to Him unconditionally. 

Kitavan is not a respectable term. Swamy Desikan chooses it as a term of endearment to address his personal God, the Gopika RamaNan, Govindhan. 

Redesign of Stutis, Kavachas and Ashtakams for Android electronic readers

This month I am redesigning all my Stutis, Kavachas and Ashtakams in order to make Them fit for reading from Android electronic readers. 

I am not using paper variants anymore, because electronic readers are more convenient. 

The problem here is that, I don't have the most of Prapatti Stutis in "copy-paste" Variants.

For example, my paper Variant of "Shree Maha Lakshmi Prapatti" is rather old and is in Roman!!! 

For this reason, I am going to reprint all my Prayers in Sanskrit in Google Input Tools this month. 

The very good news here is that when you prepare The Prayers for Android electronic readers, you are not limited by white background as in the case with paper (yes, you can purchase colour paper, but it is usually of bad quality). 

It means, that you can use colour pallettes from Adobe Kuler!!!

That's how some of my Prayers look now (some Prayers I recite are Rahasya and hidden and, as Krishna always teaches all of us, I should conceal the fact of knowing and reciting Them, that's why I am showing the Pictures of rather popular Prayers): 

This is "Shree Bhagavan Vishnu PanchaYuddha Stotram", as you see the colour pallette here is Lime with black Sanskrit. 

"108 Names of Bhagavan Shree Varaha".

My first impulse was to use only the Images from Shree Vallabha Sampradaya for redesign, that's why you can see Shree NathaJi in the Picture!!!!

The colour pallette is very unordinary and I like it very much!

Excuse, but Who is This Beautiful Sleepy and Capricious Boy on the picture?

I mean The Blue Boy, you wish to cover with your kisses again and again?

Actually, me and Krishna, we love to sleep, holding tightly each other (I would tell what I like to do during such sleeps, but this is mine and Krishna's secret).

Violet-Black-Golden-and-Lime - this is the pallette for Nama Stotras (this is the Picture from the Variant, which inlcudes not only "Shree Krishna Dwadasha Nama Stotram", but other Nama Stotras from "Shree Brahma Vaivarta Purana").
