The Sleeping Murti of Bhagavan Shree Vishnu
In April I have purchased new Murti of Bhagavan Shree Vishnu (was mentioned in this post).
By the sheer miracle we have one Indian shop in our area (the Eastern part of Moscow), but the shop has very scanty scope of Vaishnava Murtis.
When I visit this shop I usually buy everything Vaishnava-connected (usually, just 2-3 items, because shop is not Vaishnava-oriented and does not sell more).
So, being near the shop in the bloom of spring, I have noticed the Murti of Bhagavan Shree Vishnu right in the storefront, but I have decided not to buy, though upon returning home, I have understood that I had gotten hooked on the Murti.
So, I boomeranged the shop next day and purchased The Murti.
The Murti is made of bronze and despite of the small size, this Representation of Bhagavan Shree Vishnu is rather heavy. According to Vishnu-Agamas all Bronze Murtis of Bhagavan Shree Vishnu are especially auspicious to Love, Cherish and Worship.
Especially for this Murti I am reciting "Shree Vishnu-Hridaya-Stotram", Bhagavan Shree Vishnu Loves this rare Hridaya very much.
By the way, upon arriving to my house, Bhagavan Shree Vishnu has demanded to lay Him asleep at The Lotus Feet of Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi. So, This Murti of Bhagavan Shree Vishnu lives in my house always asleep and muffled in blankets (see the following photo with Him Sleeping Sweetly in green shawl):
Apart from The Murti I have obtained golden magnet with Shreemati Radhika-Devi and Bhagavan Shree Krishna (looks very beautiful and turned out to be ideally suitable for my Sony Vaio computer iron framework):
Apart from the above-mentioned acquisitions, out of the blue, the shop sellers presented me golden magnet in Shree Vidya Tradition (extremely beautiful with my very much Adored and Precious Shreemati Saraswati-Devi):

Вторая часть "Шри Брахма-Пураны"
Да, девчонки, меня очень удивило то, что вторая часть "Шри Брахма-Пураны" по сути является Шри Джаганнатха-Агамой (в том смысле, что на определенном этапе, "Шри Брахма-Пурана" превращается из Пураны в Агаму, которая рассказывает обо всех практических Аспектах Поклонения Шри Джаганнатху).
Скорее даже не Господу Шри Джаганнатху, а

Krishna's milk
I have fed the chihua of my sister with milk today (charged with Krishna-Mantras).
The chihua drank the milk as if it was something she has been waiting for centuries (she greedily drank half of a cup, which is enormous for such a small breed).
After this the dog's pattern of behaviour has altered completely: she feels very calm and peaceful (apart from usual pert and glib behaviour).
Very Beautiful Murti of Shreemati Varahi-Devi
Actually, I was searching for The Image of Bhagavan Shree Yajna-Varaha, but found this Very Beautiful Murti of Shreemati Varahi-Devi:
The Emblem of BalaRama
Actually, it is very easy to memorize, because:
"palm tree" in Sanskrit is ताल (tAla) and
"plough" is हल (hala).
"Shree Brahma-Purana", Chapter 208:
इत्य् उक्त्वा क्रोधरक्ताक्षस् तालाङ्को ऽधोमुखं हलम् /
प्राकारवप्रे विन्यस्य चकर्ष मुशलायुधः // २०८.३२ //
आघूर्णितं तत् सहसा ततो वै हस्तिनापुरम् /

AghUrNitaM tat sahasA tato vai hastinApuram /
dRRiShTvA saMkShubdhahRRidayAsh chukrushuH sarvakauravAH // 208.33 //
After saying this, Balarama, whose emblem was a palm tree and whose weapon was ploughshare, placed it with its face downwards on the top of the city outer wall and pulled.
Suddenly, the city of Hastinapura rolled. On seeing it the Kauravas were agitated in their hearts.
Hundreds of nooses in hells and deep pits of 'my-ness'

"Shree Brahma-Purana", 88.42: "People whose minds are deluded by Your Maya attain birth, death, old age etc. of a sinful nature. They see the King of the dead in the middle".
"Shree Brahma-Purana", 88.43-45: "Then those men are bound by means of hundreds of nooses in hells.
They attain very terrible misery. This is your Cosmic Form. I am very much sensuous. I am deluded by your Maya, O Great Lord, I wander amidst deep pits of 'my-ness'.
I have sought refuge in You, The Primordial Isha. My mind is distressed due to exhaustion and agony of worldly existence. I am desirous of finding Shelter in You, being disgusted with worldly affairs."
हनुमन्
Very unusual rendering of Hanuman (from http://belovedindia.tumblr.com/post/88849385778/manteigaria-hanuman-showing-the-images-in-his):
Classically should look like this (to look just type in "hanuman heart" in google images - https://goo.gl/sJPNlh):
The Dialogue of Bhagavan Shree Krishna and Mucukunda
The Dialogue of Bhagavan Shree Krishna and Mucukunda in "Shree Brahma-Purana" is very beautiful, sounds like very hi-quality sci-fi movie.
"Shree Brahma-Purana", 88.23-25.
After reducing that sinner Muchukunda looked at Bhagavan Shree Krishna and said: "Who are you?"
Lord Shree Krishna said:
"I am born of The Lunar Race. I am the son of Vasudeva, The Scion of The Family of Yadu".
On hearing it Mucukunda remembered the words of the elderly Gargya.
After recollecting everything he bowed down to Lord Shree Krishna, The Lord of all Identical with everyone.
Mucukunda said: "You are The Greatest Ishvara. You are born of Bhagavan Shree Visnu's part.
"Shree Brahma-Purana", 88.26. Formerly, this was mentioned by Gargya - Bhagavan Shree Hari will take birth in The Line of Yadu towards the end of Dvapara Yuga in the 28th cycle of four Yugas".
Amba Nilayatakshi
This is very beautiful Song, I have found it while reading "THE SPIRITUAL HERITAGE OF TYAGARAJA" (E-BOOK link) and bookmarked in order to find the original Lyrics later.
The following Lyrics and translation from http://sahityam.net/wiki/Amba_Nilayatakshi
ambā nīlāyatākṣi karuṇā kaṭākṣi
akhila lōka sākṣi kaṭākṣi
Oh Mother Neelayatakshi, the Goddess with blue eyes, show mercy, The one who bears witness to the entire universe, show grace.

The One whose lips are sweet and red like the bimbA fruit, bears the reflection of consciousness.
The One who absorbs the sounds of the subtle emanations of the nada bindu, the ever-auspicious.
The Sister of The Husband of Lakshmi, the expert charioteer.
The one who pervades the realm of space, wears the Kadamba flowers and wears blue silk.

Aishwarya way of killing
The killing of Kamsa scene in "Shree Brahma-Purana" accentuates the Divine Nature of Bhagavan Shree Krishna, as Lord Shree Krishna killed Kamsa by just falling on him.
Someone may think that Lord Shree Krishna is lean and of light weight, but
Imperishable Being amongst the perishable ones
Chapter 192 (192 in GRETIL version, but 84 in English Motilal Edition) of "Shree Brahma-Purana" describes the Vision of Lord Shree Krishna and Lord Shree BalaRama by Akrura.

Very beautiful Verse about The Loka of Bhagavan Shree Vishnu. In Sanskrit:
परमानन्दजननं सर्वकामफलप्रदम् /
विष्णुलोकात् परं लोकं नात्र पश्यामि भो द्विजाः // ६८.६९ //
paramAnandajananaM sarvakAmaphalapradam /
viShNulokAt paraM lokaM nAtra pashyAmi bho dvijAH // 68.69 //
Water sanctified by Lord Krishna against pishacas, graha doshas...
Sometimes people ask if there are exorsism rites in Vaishnavism. The simple answer is yes, but most of them are hidden in Vaishnava Tantras.
Though, there is a simple way to remove
तत् फलं कृष्णम् आलोक्य मञ्चस्थं लभते नरः
A number of Verses in "Shree Brahma-Purana" is based on repeating patterns, for example:
लक्ष्मीपङ्कजषट्चरण (lakShmIpa~NkajaShaTcharaNa)
Chapter 62 (or 65 in Sanskrit editions) of "Shree Brahma-Purana" contains very beautiful and simple "Jaya Jaya" Hymn, Devoted to Bhagavan Shree Krishna.
I fell in love with The Phrase लक्ष्मीपङ्कजषट्चरण (lakShmIpa~NkajaShaTcharaNa), used in the Hymn.
It translates as "Bhagavan Shree Vishnu Who Acts Like a Bee towards Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi (Who Plays The Role of Lotus Flower for The Bee)".
BEAUTIFUL COMPARISON.
By the way, the next epithet in The Hymn is जय जय भक्तवश (jaya jaya bhaktavasha).
It translates as "Bhagavan Shree Krishna Who is influenced by His bhaktas" and the epithet itself is very consonant and conformable with "Shree Krishna-Karshini" Siddhanta I have posted about today - http://vishnudut1926.blogspot.ru/2015/05/shree-krishna-karshini-how-to-become.html
Why Jyestha Month is called Dashahara?
The considerable part of "Shree Brahma-Purana" is Devoted to Bhagavan Shree Jagannatha Worship and especially The Triad of Shreemati Subhadra-Devi, Bhagavan Shree Krishna and Bhagavan Shree BalaRama.
I will post the corresponding Chapters later, but

"VenkaTEsha ninnu" by OM VishnuPad Tyagaraja
Very Beautiful Song with dazzling poetic images. The final part of the Song is very beautiful, I mean line "Whose Feet Shine with Incomparable Brilliance".
English translation from "The Spiritual Heritage of Tyagaraja" by C. Ramanujachari:
Oh Venkatesha Who has taken abode on Seshachala and in the hearts of yogis!
One should have myriad eyes to see you in Glory with such a Beautiful Rupam.
You are praised on all sides that You are The Highest of the deities,
Your mere darshana will surely secure salvation for those who pine with devotion for You.
As probably the result of some meritorious deed of mine, I have tasted the nectar of Thy Sweet Name and have thus secured a stepping stone to reach You, Whose Feet Shine with Incomparable Brilliance.
B.K.S. Iyengar "Yoga. The Path to Holistic Health"
I am leafing over B.K.S. Iyengar "Yoga. The Path to Holistic Health" during my meals. In my opinion this is the best and the most reasonable Yoga compendium ever written.
The design of the Book is visually dazzling. Moreover, The Ishta-Devas of B.K.S. Iyengar (Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi and Bhagavan Shree VenkatEshwara) are mentioned:
I can't upload the Book in my blog due to copyright (the policy of my blog is to upload old Books with no copyright troubles), but the Book is definitely worth of being in any Vaishnava-Library, especially if you are fond of Hatha-Yoga.
Warrior Asana
Never thought that Warrior Asana (Virabhadrasana) is dangerous for people with cardiac ailments, for me is one of the easiest Asanas, but:

Да, девчонки, Книга про ОМ ВишнуПад ТьягаРаджа-Ачарью оказалась мегапрорывной (на английском называется The Spiritual Heritage of Tyagaraja, by C. Ramanujachari with introduction by Dr V. Raghavan, Ramakrishna Math, Chennai, загружу в блог через неделю после того, как приведу скан в нормальный вид).
В Книге есть достойный восхищения разбор Бхакти ОМ ВишнуПад ТьягаРаджа-Ачарьи с точки зрения Рас, много цитат и т.п.
Единственное, как девочка, принадлежащая к Шакти-Сампрадае, я ждала очень много строк про свою Ненаглядную Шримати ЛалитаТрипураСундари-Деви, но, к сожалению, Бхакти ОМ ВишнуПад ТьягаРаджа-Ачарьи было больше посвящено Бхагавану Шри Раме.
Да, мне пришлось прочитать много баянов про Величие Имени Господа Рамы и очень много страниц про Нама-Сиддханту с цитатами из "Кали-Сантараны-Упанишады" (я терпеть не могу Нама-Сиддханту, меня от нее тошнит, и, кстати, мы в Шри МахаЛакшми-Сампрадае по многим причинам ей не особо следуем, to be elaborate, знаем про нее, но на практике не используем).
Но часть Книги всё-таки посвящена Шримати ЛалитаТрипураСундари-Деви, я с нетерпением жду, когда доберусь до этих бриллиантовых страниц.
OM VishnuPad Tyagaraja's Mood is Sviya-Nayika
Oh, GREAT, Ramanujachari in "The Spiritual Heritage of Tyagaraja" writes that the Mood of OM VishnuPad Tyagaraja is Sviya-Nayika apart from Parakiya (by the way, for many reasons I absolutely hate the idea of Parakiya).

Shreemati Parvati-Devi as शिवप्रिया (shivapriyA)
Artha: The Beloved of Shiva
Who is Entirely
Devoted to Her.
Tika by Jankinath Kaul Kamal: "Shiva manifests Himself through Shakti (शैवीमुखमिहोच्यते - shaivImukhamihochyate).
Shakti is the power of manifestation.
It is in Her company that Shiva shunned His begging bowl. He came to be recognized among the devotees only after taking the auspicious hand of Parvati.
Till then Shambhu remained unknown.
This is expressed by a devotee:
पूर्वं करग्रहणमङ्गलतो भवत्याः
शम्भुं क एव बुबुधे गिरिराजाकन्ये ।

It's more than gorgeous, that current technology allows us to publish posts in Devanagari-Unicode, so most of the posts will look like Sanskrit Verse with Vaishnava-Acharyas' Tikas.
I have also re-designed blog drastically in April 2015, now the design is more user-friendly.
The concept behind the Art has been changed also, I will design more pictures with attractive fonts in Photoshop.
The idea of the blog remains the same: my blog is Shakti-Vaishnava blog primarily in my native and much, much, much ADORED Shree MahaLakshmi-Sampradaya Line (that is Shree Ramanuja Maha Acharya Sampradaya Line).
