Но на уровень Уттама-Бхакти Бхагаван Шри Парашурама вышел только после того, как Ом Вишнупад Агастья Муни передал Ему "Шри Кришна-Према-Амрита Намавали"


Да, прикольная всё-таки оказалась история про Садхану Бхагавана Шри Парашурамы, которую я опубликовала ниже - http://vishnudut1926.blogspot.ru/2014/09/10-syllable-krishna-mantra-from-shree.html

Казалось, было всё: мощнейшая Кавача, СверхМантра (10-Слоговая Гопала-Мантра), но на уровень Уттама-Бхакти Бхагаван Шри Парашурама вышел только после того, как Ом Вишнупад Агастья Муни передал Ему "Шри Кришна-Према-Амрита Намавали". 
Кстати, сколько я не встречаю 10-Слоговую Гопала-Мантру, всегда у меня один вопрос: "Почему Эта Мантра так редуцирована?". 
В том смысле, что более длинная Гопала-Мантра выглядит немного по-другому!!!

Кришна в Наших Тантрах говорит, что более длинную Гопала-Мантру нельзя разглашать, поэтому я не буду писать Данную Мантру в блоге. 

НО...Более длинный вариант явно мощнее и звучит более красиво...

Загадка всей жизни, Кришночка, помогай...Выдай мне секрет...

Хотя мне-то зачем этот секрет нужен, у меня вообще другие Мантры...ХАХАХАХАХАХААХАХАХА...

Садхана, кстати, у Господа Парашурамы была полностью Девчачья, реально прямо как у Гопи, то есть:

1) 10-Слоговая Гопала-Мантра

2) Кришна-Трайлокья-Виджая Кавача

3) "Шри Кришна-Према-Амрита Намавали" - это Гимн нереально Девчачий, он прямо благоухает цветами Кадамба (Кришночка их обожает), Нежностью и Девчачей Влюблённостью в Кришнулёночка.

10-Syllable Krishna-Mantra from "Shree Brahmanda-Purana" and "Shree Krishna Prema Amrita" Hymn, Parashurama-Sadhana and Who are the Uttama-Bhaktas?


Check yourselves, using "Shree Brahmanda-Purana", Girls!!!!!!!! 

I hope, my blog is being attended only by Gopis. 

I am so glad to see myself (that is Gopi) among Uttama-Bhaktas...

The following passage is a part of the very Siddhantic Story from "Shree Brahmanda-Purana", which dwells...hold your breath here...on 10-Syllable Mantra of Bhagavan Shree Krishna!!!!!!

In short, the story goes like this: 

Bhagavan Shree Parashurama had been initiated into 10-Syllable Krishna-Mantra and Krishna-Kavacha (yes, together, remember, what I have engrossed about non-effectiveness of Mantra without Kavacha and vice versa in this article). 

In spite of the initiation, Bhagavan Shree Parashurama had failed to master the 10-Syllable Mantra of Bhagavan Shree Krishna, as He belonged only to Madhyama-Type of Bhaktas. 
Sounds appalling, is not it? Yes, but Bhagavan Shree Parashurama had been saved by "Shree Krishna Prema Amrita" Hymn, which had promoted Him to The Highest Plane of Bhakti.
I wrote about the Parashurama Sadhana in the headline, but not in the sense of Worshipping Bhagavan Shree Parashurama, but in the sense of repeating His Sadhana. 

So, the Sadhana of Bhagavan Shree Parashurama from "Shree Brahmanda-Purana" was the following:

1) 10-Syllable Krishna-Mantra (granted to Bhagavan Shree Parashurama by Shiva)

2) "Shree Krishna Trailokya Vijaya-Kavacha" (granted by Shiva too)

3) "Shree Krishna Prema Amrita" Hymn (actually, not the Hymn, but the Namavali from 108 Names of Bhagavan Shree Krishna, granted to Bhagavan Shree Parashurama by Om VishnuPad Agastya-Muni) 

If you know Sanskrit, you can refer to the Sanskrit Variant of "Shree Brahmanda-Purana" and  repeat this Sadhana!!! 
At least, even if you are a Gopi with a balanced Sadhana, which you don't want to change, "Shree Krishna Prema Amrita" Hymn is definitely worth of being absorbed into your Sadhana, as it is very Beautiful and Krishna Likes It. 


"Shree Brahmanda-Purana", Section 03 "UPODGHATAPADA", Chapter 34 (page 664 in the English 2002 Edition of "Shree Brahmanda-Purana" by Motilal Banasirdass - LINK TO THE BOOK)


The Quality of Bhakti (Love of God) is considered to be Threefold :

2.34.38-40a. The 3 Types of Devotion are:


1. Uttama (The Highest) 

2. Madhyama (The Middle) and 

3. Kanistha (The Lowest). O lady of tremulous eyes.

The Devotion of the Following Persons is of the Highest Type (UTTAMA):


Shiva, 

Narada,

Noble-Souled Shuka, 

Saintly King Ambarisha,

Rantideva,

Maruti (i.e. Hanuman), 

Bali, 

Vibhishana, 

Noble-Souled Prahlada,

Gopis (Cowherdesses of Vrindavana) and 

Uddhava


2.34.40b-42a. The Devotion of the middle type, О lady of splendid eyes, is that of the leading sages such as Vasistha and others, as well as Manu and others.

In regard to other people, it is of the lowest type.

Rama (Bhagavan Shree Parashurama) has only this middle type of Devotion, though He is always devoted to the control of all sense-organs and Worships The Lord of Gopis (Cowherdesses). Hence, he has not realized the Mantra.”



NOW, "Shree Krishna Prema Amrita" Hymn, it needs deciphering and double-check with The Sanskrit Variant (it is page 677 in the above-mentioned edition):

This is my evening reading for this autumn. 

This English Edition contains the references to 9 Tikas to "Shreemad Bhagavatam", most of the Tikas are of Vaishnava Lineages.  

Sorrowfully, but only haphazard excerpts from the Tikas had been published, while it would be much more reasonable to read the Tikas in complete versions. 

Anyway, up to this moment this is one of the most amusing variants of the translations.

Shreemati Tulasi-Devi Mahatmya from "Shree Skanda-Purana" And The Correspondence between The Angas of Shreemati Tulasi-Devi and The Names of Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi


The Chapter about Shreemati Tulasi-Devi from "Shree Skanda-Purana" is adorned with The Poetic Genius of Lord Krishna. 

The Verses 3-5 below are something incredible as The Most Beautiful Names of Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi are mentioned. 

Moreover, "Shree Tulasi-Mahatmya" from "Shree Skanda-Purana" dwells on the correspondence between The Angas of Tulasi Plant and The Names of Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi.


SHREEMATI TULASI-DEVI MAHATMYA FROM "SHREE SKANDA-PURANA"

(page 1062 in The Volume 18 of 1960 English edition by Motilal Banasirdass, in Sanskrit corresponds to "Shree Skanda-Purana", Book 6, Nagara Khanda, Chapter 249)

Shreemati Vani-Devi said:

249.01. Undoubtedly there can never be poverty in the house of that householder by whom The Excessively Beneficial Tulasi is planted.

249.02. By The Mere Sight of Shreemati Tulasi-Devi a heap of sins gets destroyed. 

Shreemati Tulasi-Devi, Very Dear to Bhagavan Shree Hari, originated from the drops of nectar for the sake of Shree (श्री - Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi).                       

249.03a. While Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi Was Drinking the exquisite beverage Shreemati Tulasi-Devi originated. Shreemati Tulasi-Devi destroys the sins of all living beings.

249.03b-4. Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi always resides in The Tulasi Plant: 

✿ The Ocean-Born One (सागरसंभवा - sAgarasaMbhavA) Resides in The Stem of Shreemati Tulasi-Devi. 

✿ Shree Ishvari (The Goddess SHREE - श्री) always Dwells in The Leaves of Shreemati Tulasi-Devi.

✿ Shreemati Kamala-Devi (कमला) Herself Resides in The Branches of Shreemati Tulasi-Devi.  

✿ Shreemati Indira-Devi (इन्दिरा) is Always Present in The Flowers of Shreemati Tulasi-Devi. 

✿ Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi, Born Out Of The Milky Ocean (क्षीराब्धिसंभवा - kShIrAbdhisaMbhavA) is Always Present in The Fruits of Shreemati Tulasi-Devi. 

✿ 249.05. Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi Always Dwells in The Form of विश्वव्यापिनी (vishvavyApinI, Shreemati VishvavyApinI-Devi, The Goddess, Pervading All The Universes) in The Dry Twigs of Shreemati Tulasi-Devi. 

✿ Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi in The Form of Shreemati Padmavasa-Devi (पद्मवासा - padmavAsA) Always Resides in The Pith of Shreemati Tulasi-Devi. 

✿ And Shreemati HariPriya-Devi (हरिप्रिया - HaripriyA) always dwells in the bark of Shreemati Tulasi-Devi. 

249.06. Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi and Shreemati Tulasi-Devi are The Omniformed Ishvaris, The Protectresses of Their bhaktas.  

A person who eats Tulasi plant never goes to the world of Yama.

249.07. He on whose head there is Tulasi Leaf is not assailed by Yama’s men. 

Shreemati Tulasi-Devi grants the status of salvation on a person who has Tulasi Leaf in his mouth.

249.08. He who has Tulasi Plant in his hand is rid of the three types of distress. 

If Tulasi Plant is in the chest (heart) of living beings, Shreemati Tulasi-Devi grants all desires.

249.09. He who has Tulasi Plant on his shoulders is never touched by sin.

He who has Tulasi Plant round his neck always is a living liberated soul.

249.10. A man who holds (carries with him) a Tulasi Leaf always, shall undoubtedly attain whatever he wishes.

249.11. Shreemati Tulasi-Devi helps Her bhaktas to attain all the objectives and restrains the wicked ones. 

A man who waters Tulasi Plant daily never goes to the abode of Yama.

249.12-18. If Shreemati Tulasi-Devi is being Worshipped especially during Caturmasya, then Shreemati Tulasi-Devi grants Moksha to the worshipper. 

On coming to know that Bhagavan Shree Narayana resides in the water as well as on Ashvattha Tree (आश्वत्थ - Azvattha), Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi Resorted to The Plant of Shreemati Tulasi-Devi out of compassion for all living beings.

At the advent of Caturmasya, if Shreemati Tulasi-Devi is resorted to by bhaktas of Bhagavan Shree Vishnu, 1000 of their sins are destroyed into 1000 shatters. 
                                              
Remembering Lord Govinda always, resorting to A Park of Tulasi Plants, sprinkling Tulasi Plants with milk is rare during Chaturmasya. 

If a man worships Tulasi Plant with Bhakti (Faith) and waters Tulasi Plant by filling a basin made round its roots all his/her family is sanctified.

Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi, The Granter of Wealth Is Stationed in Shreemati Tulasi-Devi, so the wealth of the worshipper increases too. 

Whether a religious student, or a householder or a forest hermit or an ascetic or all types of Prakrtis (castes and subcastes) if they are engaged in serving Shreemati Tulasi-Devi with Bhakti (Faith), then Bhagavan Shree Hari will ward off their miseries.

249.19. Bhagavan Shree Hari pervades all the plants. The Form of Bhagavan Shree Hari is to be meditated upon as permeated by various Rasas (juices). 

So also, Shreemati Kamala-Devi, The MahaIshvari, Who took up The Residence in Tulasi Plants is to be Remembered and Worshipped always.

New online text-editor, which can be modified in Krishna-Bhakti-Interfaced Text Editor (http://www.typwrittr.com/)

This is how my interface in www.typwrittr.com looks, see Hi-Resolution Image at box, dropbox, minus



What makes this text editor falling apart from other clones is that you can upload your own backgrounds from image-hosting sites.

does not have the capacity to store the images, so I store all my backgrounds at 

Once you are at min.us you will need the image with direct link (usually, the direct link is very easy to recognize as having ".jpeg" or ".png" postfix), see the example below:

The background picture with Shreemati Lakshmi-Devi, Bhagavan Shree Vishnu, Lord Krishna and Bhagavan Shree Hayagriva along with the blue-striped ambience had been created by me in Photoshop in 10 minutes and it was worth of it, as it is very inspiring for the Articles, dedicated to Lord Krishna. 

As you see some Images had been cut into circles with "Shadow" and "Bevel and Emboss" applied to the layers. 

The blue grunge background with diagonal stripes had been taken from http://all-free-download.com/photoshop-patterns/

So, as you see this primitive textpad can be transformed in the very inspiring and visually advanced text editor with just one "Background Image" feature and good Photoshop skills.

"Bhaktas of Bhagavan Shree Vishnu never suffer" - Part 02 - The Story of Shreemati Aditi-Devi


One of the very classic passages of "Shree Narada-Purana" is the Excerpt from The Chapter 11 of The Purva Khanda stating that nobody and nothing can squash, cripple and injure a person devoted to Bhagavan Shree Vishnu. 

This passage is interwined with the incredible Story of Shreemati Aditi-Devi, Who was The Only One to be Protected by Shreemati Sudarshana-Devi and to have survived amidst the fire genocide. 

The story is truly incredible because of epic, SCI-FI ambience. 

Imagine the ocean of fire, gobbling up the asuras and The Exceptionally Beautiful Yogini, Who was so much enthralled by the Dhyana-Yoga, Devoted to Bhagavan Shree Vishnu, that She did not pay attention to the hellish walls of fire devastating everything around. 

Allegorically, this Story also means that NO fire of mundane existence can maim a dasi of Bhagavan Shree Vishnu. 
The Theme of Shreemati Sudarshana-Devi and Her Protection is worthy of a separate, extended article, I will dwell on this theme in other parts of this rubrique.
It has to be mentioned that Shreemati Sudarshana Devi is Worshipped and Reverred not only by Vaishnava-Sampradayas, but by Shree Vidya Sampradayas as well. 

All The Weapons of Bhagavan Shree Vishnu are not pale, lifeless symbols, BUT THE ETERNAL DIVINE PERSONS (NITYA SURIS). 
In this Yuga, Shreemati Sudarshana Devi has manifested as OM Vishnupad Nimbarka Acharya and in Goloka Shreemati Sudarshana Devi eternally dwells as Shreemati RangaDevi Gopi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, in Nimbarka-Sampradaya OM Vishnupad Nimbarka Acharya = Shreemati RangaDevi Gopi = Shreemati Sudarshana Devi.

"SHREE NARADA-PURANA", PURVA KHANDA, Chapters 10-11 (LINK TO THE BOOK IN MY LIBRARY)

10.49. When Daityas found that in spite of their speech to Her, Shreemati Aditi-Devi was still absorbed in Meditation on Bhagavan Shree Hari, they were extremely infuriated and wanted to kill Her.

10.50. Due to the fury, their eyes turned red. They roared like clouds at the end of the Kalpa (when the universe is dissolved). By the gnashing of the tips of their curved fangs (in anger), they created fire which burnt down the forest instantaneously.

10.51-52. The forest extended to a hundred yojanas. It was teeming with various kinds of living beings. The very same fire burnt Daityas who had gone there to destroy Shreemati Aditi-Devi.

Only Shreemati Aditi-Devi, The Mother of demigods, remained alive. 

She had been meditating on Acyuta (Bhagavan Shree Vishnu) for hundreds of years. She was protected by The Sudarshana Chakra of Bhagavan Shree Vishnu Who killed Daityas and took Pity on His Own devotees.

Narada Muni said:

11.01. You have mentioned, my brother, an extremely miraculous incident. How did that forest fire spare Shreemati Aditi-Devi and burnt all Daityas in a moment?

11.02. Be pleased to tell me in details about the immense inherent strength of Shreemati Aditi-Devi that caused this special surprise. Indeed, prominent sages and good men are always engaged in tendering advice to others.

Sanaka Muni replied:

11.03. O Narada, listen to the greatness of those who revel in devotion to Bhagavan Shree Hari. Is there any person who is capable of harassing saintly persons engaged in the meditation of Bhagavan Shree Hari ?

11.04. Gods Brahma, Hari, Siva and others, Siddhas and prominent leaders of sages - all stay permanently at the residence of a person who is engaged in Devotion to Bhagavan Shree Hari.
11.05. O highly blessed Narada, Lord Shree Hari is enshrined in the hearts of His devotees who are serene-minded and are always engaged in repeating His Name. Need it be said that Bhagavan Shree Hari abides in the hearts of those who are engaged in contemplating on Him?
11.06. Shreemati Lakshmi-Devi, VishnuPatni, and all the deities stay only there, where a person is engaged in Shiva’s Worship or where one devoted to The Worship of Bhagavan Shree Vishnu, resides.

11.07. Neither a fire nor a tyrant nor a thief can molest any person devoted to Bhagavan Shree Vishnu’s Worship. Nor is he affected by diseases.

11.08. Neither ghosts nor evil spirits nor the kuSmANDa (कुष्माण्ड -  demons), evil planets, nor the goblins that attack children nor Dakinis (witches) nor Raksasas can dare to trouble a worshipper of Acyuta.

11.09. Those Bhutas (ghosts), Vetalas (vampires) and others, who take delight in afllicting others, take to flight from the residence of an excellent devotee engaged in the worship of Bhagavan Shree Hari and Shreemati Lakshmi-Devi.

11.10. All the Tirthas and Deities stay there only, where a person who has subdued his sense-organs, or one who is a benefactor unto all, or one who is devoted to Dharma and Holy Rites, stays.

11.11. All fortunes and blessings are found at that place only where yogins stay even for a moment or a half. That spot is a holy place and that is a real penance-grove.
11.12. All troubles disappear at the mere utterance of Bhagavan Shree Hari’s Names. What need be said of those who propitiate Bhagavan Shree Vishnu through Eulogies (Stotras, Ashtakas), Worship (Bhakti) or through Meditation (Dhyana)?
11.13. O Brahmana, in this way, the whole forest along with asuras was consumed by the fire. But Shreemati Aditi-Devi was not even scorched, since She was protected by the The Sudarshana-Chakra of Bhagavan Shree Vishnu.
