Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi about Shree Purushottama Kshetra

If you are in love with Puranas, written by Bhagavan Shree Krishna, you know, that They contain a lot of stories about animals, birds and creatures of lower order which are bestowed with

11.10.2015

Synopsis in English: I have gone through advanced Prapatti Rite today, asking speedified Moksha from Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi and Bhagavan Shree VenkatEshwara. Generally speaking, I have made shift - earlier Prapatti was auxiliary anga to Krishna-Bhakti for me, now it is vice-versa. So, if my blog is not updated it means I have been granted Moksha by Our Adored Dampatti (Shreemati Padmavati-Devi and Bhagavan Shree VenkatEshwara). 

Да, девчонки я переприняла сегодня Прапатти (более подробно о Прапатти здесь) у Шримати МахаЛакшми-Деви и Бхагавана Шри Венкатешвары. Теперь я запросила максимально убыстренную Мокшу (спасибо большое МахаЛакшмике, именно благодаря МахаЛакшмёнышу у нас в Шри Рамануджа-Сампрадае есть подобный вариант с мгновенным сжиганием кармы). 

В общем, пока принимала, разнылась перед МахаЛакшмикой, сказала, что мне стыдно за то, что я выросла у Неё такой младшей дурой и что никогда толком не поклонялась Ей, потому что все время думаю только о Кришне и о том, как стану Его служанкой. 

Госпожа МахаЛакшмика меня утешила, потому что с самого начала было ясно, что я именно даси Кришны и даси МахаЛакшмики/Радхики из меня просто никакая. Хотя во всех Сампрадаях есть девчонки, которые совмещают именно двойную Дасью (то есть являются служанками Радхики и Кришны одновременно). 

В общем, если мой блог вдруг затухнет, то я уже умерла и вовсю сосусь с Писёнышем (Верховным Господом Шри Кришной) на Голоке. 

Уникальность Шри Пурушоттама-Кшетры

Да, девчонки, Шри Пурушоттама-Кшетра (Орисса, Бхагаван Шри Джаганнатха) действительно уникальна  и дополнительно уникальность подтверждает то, что - это единственный случай в Пуранах, когда о Святом Месте рассказывает Шримати МахаЛакшми-Деви (когда в "Шри Сканда-Пуране" Яма задает Верховному Господу Шри Кришне вопрос о Шри Пурушоттама-Кшетре, то Господь Шри Вишну отстраняется и говорит: "МахаЛакшмика расскажет лучше" и дальше Госпожа МахаЛакшмика начинает петь Махатмью).

उक्तिनिष्ठा in "Shreemad Rahasya-Traya-Sara"

Shreemati BakulaMalika-Devi - The Avatara of Shreemati Yashoda-Devi

This is one of the most exciting moments in "Shree VenkataChala-Mahatmya" - Bhagavan Shree Shreenivasa tells to Shreemati BakulaMalika-Devi why He had fallen in mad love with

Dhyana and upaya against losses and defeats

The UpaSamhara (उपसंहार means "epilogue") of "Shreemad-Bhagavatam"'s 63th Chapter (Song X) is very interesting, because it tells that a bhakta meditating on the Battle between Bhagavan Shree Krishna and Shankara will never encounter defeats and losses, to be more accurate, never meet पराजय (parAjaya), which can mean either defeat (in fights) or failure in more extended sense (at business, public speaking and etc): 

य एवं कृष्णविजयं शङ्करेण च संयुगम्

संस्मरेत्प्रातरुत्थाय न तस्य स्यात्पराजयः

ya evaM kR^iShNavijayaM sha~NkareNa cha saMyugam

Translation: "He who rising early at dawn, recalls and contemplates on the story of combat between Bhagavan Shree Krishna and god Shankara and Lord Krishna subsequent final triumph, will never meet any defeat in life".

15.45. Why should there be any fear of the serpent of Kali that has very sharp fangs? He will perish on being burned by the fire issuing forth from the wood of the Name of KRISHNA (कृष्ण).

15.55. There shall be no ailment or sin in the mind of that man who never forsakes the wholesome and beneficial Name "KRISHNA, KRISHNA" in Kali Age. 

15.63. If, in Kali Age, the tongue does not glorify the good qualities of SHREEKRISHNA (श्रीकृष्ण), let it not exist in the mouth. Let that unchaste one go to the nether worlds.

Shree Krishna-Nama-Mahatmya from "Shree Skanda-Purana"

As I have written in my previous post -  from the certain point of "Shree Skanda-Purana" the Siddhanta of Shree Gaudiya-Sampradaya starts to unravel. 

For those who are unfamiliar with The Siddhanta of Shree Gaudiya-Sampradaya I will remind Their Main Tenets:

1. The Superiority of Shree Krishna Name. 

The Recital of The Name of Bhagavan Shree Krishna and Shree Krishna-Nama-Sankirtana is considered to be the main Sadhana for Kali-Yuga. 

So, the great emphasis is laid upon mass singing of

Not only one Ashtakshara Mantra we should know!

A prayer for the Embrace of The Lord

The Volume 02 of "Shree RangaNatha Mahimai" by SADAGOPAN.ORG is brilliant, as it contains cites from Vedas for Bhaktas of Bhagavan Shree Ranganatha. 

I liked very much the cite from "Shree Atharva-Veda" designated as "A Prayer for the Embrace of The Lord": 

उरूं नो लोकमनु नेषि विद्वान्त्स्वर्यज्ज्योतिर्भयं स्वस्ति ।

उग्रा त इन्द्र स्थविरस्य बाहू उप क्षयेम शरण बृहन्ता । ।

"Shree Atharva-Veda", XIX.15.4

O Glorious Lord! Thou take us by hand to the vast riches, bliss and to Your Parama Padham, where shines the light of knowledge, perfect peace reigns and one is free form fear of any kind. 

Your Divine Arms are strong and powerful. They are steadfast in coming to our rescue; your arms are firm in lifting us over all dangers. 

May we be blessed to find ample refuge as PrapannAs in Your strong arms!

"Shree Lakshmi-Tantra", notes on Verses 1.2-6

"Shree Lakshmi-Tantra", Verse 01.02

This autumn I will read Hindi variant of "Shree Lakshmi-Tantra" in more profound manner (not separate Chapters as before). 

The Hindi variant I have thanks to The KRIPA of Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi is by Dr. Sudhakar Malaviya.

The translation of the Verse 01.02 is very interesting, it has word "खगासन" (khagAsana) = sitting on bird and  Dr. Sudhakar Malaviya makes the note, that the word could denote not only Garuda, but The Owl of Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi. 

The last sentence of the Verse is unusual too, as it glorifies Shree Shree Lakshmi-Narasimha - लक्ष्मी नृसिंह रुप की हम उपासना करते हैं  

"Shree Lakshmi-Tantra", Verses 01.03-06

Then the excellent word to remember from the Verse 1.3 is सर्वशास्त्रविशारद (sarvazAstravizArada). 

The subsequent Verses dwells on Yogic Siddhas starting from Adhara Charka Siddhi to  रागद्वेषविवर्जित (the conquest of raga-dwesha vikaras), as well as all The Margas - from Sankhya and Moksha to Bhakti Margas. 

Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi will explain that all The Margas are actually belong to Her and Bhagavan Shree Narayana in subsequent Verses.  

Mukti Nirupana - Verse 2.10.6 of "Shreemad Bhagavatam" and false laukika rupa

निरूपण (nirUpaNa) means "definition" in Sanskrit. 

I am reading "Shreemad Bhagavatam" with Tika of OM VishnuPad Vallabha Acharya now (LINK in my E-Library). 

OM VishnuPad Vallabha Acharya reminds us, that Verse 2.10.6 of "Shreemad Bhagavatam" defines Mukti: 

The Verse itself is truly very interesting, I loved very much the mentioning of Upadhis in both English translations:

निरोधोऽस्यानुशयनमात्मनः सह शक्तिभिः

मुक्तिर्हित्वान्यथा रूपं स्वरूपेण व्यवस्थितिः

nirodho.asyAnushayanamAtmanaH saha shaktibhiH

muktirhitvAnyathA rUpaM svarUpeNa vyavasthitiH

Translation 01 (from this edition): "Nirodha" means the withdrawal of the individual soul with all its qualifications or adjuncts into the Lord subsequent to His retirement (falling into Yoganidra). And when the jiva relinquishes its assumed character (doership etc.) and realizes its true nature (Brahmanhood), they call it 'Mukti' or emancipation of the soul."

Translation 02 (from this edition): "Nirodha is the withdrawal of the Jiva, along with all his powers and limitation in Hari when he enters his Yogic sleep. Moksha or liberation consists of abandoning the unreal form, and to stay in the essential nature of Brahman". 

This subsequent Hindi translation from "Shree Subodhini" is superb, I like the idea of leaving false (अन्यथा) rupa and staying into genuine svarupa:

Still the Tika by OM VishnuPad Vallabha Acharya and the idea of jiva, assuming painful and totally alien for her material (upadhi) rupas is utterly brilliant.

Interesting Excerpt: 

Against........................

This passage from "Shree Skanda-Purana" is quite dubious for me - can't understand either the Mantra of ArunaShankara must be uttered or simply The Name. 

Still not crucial for me at all - as I am 100000000000000000% happy with my Shree Shree MahaLakshmi-Narayana Devotion. 

Against bad dreams and all the other negative flurries we recite "Shree MahaLakshmi-Kavacha" and for other cases (sneeze, falter, danger) Shree AshtaAkshara Mantra of Bhagavan Shree Narayana must be recited (I presume, just my guess) as I am very doubtful about the theory that any danger or bad dream can adverse bhakti-yogini protected by "Shree MahaLakshmi-Kavacha".

Tika from "Shree MahaNarayana-Upanishad" by RamaKrishna Math, 1968:

"The Supreme represented as the ocean has overflown to the whole creation. He has created at first creatures according to the deserts of their various past deeds. 

He is the ruler of the universe and the munificent giver of gifts to the devotees. 

He dwells together with Uma (His SHAKTI Granting spiritual illumination) in the hearts of devotees which are holier than other parts of their body (the seat of the Divine) and therefore superior and elevated like a peak and affording protection. 

The liva who is his abode grows to be infinite. He is the Lord who delights the individual souls by guiding according to their deeds and conferring on them fruits of their actions".
