"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:


B.K.S. Iyengar about Tadasana

My favourite Asana is Vriksasana, but Tadasana is one of the Mula Asanas:

10 май 2015

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).

Tyagaraja Metaphors

One of the Main Books for me for spring 2015 is "The Spiritual Heritage of Tyagaraja" on 800 pages. 

The following metaphors, showing that tender jiva is a stranger in impure sansara worlds are dazzling:

Лунная корона


Synopsis in English: I am telling about rare nature phenomenon known as Moonbow (something like rainbow halo around The Moon in the night), which I have observed on the night of 6th May of 2015. Such signs are very crucial for Bhakti-yog as according to Shakti-Tantras and Vishnu-Tantras they point at the very auspicious alterations in Bhakti-life. 

Да, девчонки, позавчера над Москвой светилась очень необычная Луна, я была очень удивлена зрелищем.

Вопрос: "Наш Ненаглядный и Ветренно-Влюбчивый Кришнёныш-Оленёныш носит браслеты?"

Shreemati Parvati-Devi as शिवप्रिया (shivapriyA)

शिवप्रिया - The Fourth Name of Shreemati Parvati-Devi from "Shree Bhavani Sahasra Stuti". 


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 ।  

pUrvaM karagrahaNama~Ngalato bhavatyAH 
shambhuM ka eva bubudhe girirAjAkanye |  


“O Daughter of the King Mountain! Who knew Shambhu prior to His taking your auspicious hand?”.

"Shree Ishopanishad", Mantra 03 with Tika by Kaula Acharya Satyananda


The very interesting part of Tika is the gloss on "Loka" (लोक) word which stems from moola "lok" and means "to obtain". 

असुर्या नाम ते लोका अन्धेन तमसाऽऽवृताः ।
तास्ते प्रेत्याभिगच्छन्ति ये के चात्महनो जनाः ॥ ३॥

Translation: "Asurya is the name of the lokas

I haven't read this edition, because I have a lot of Bhakti-Granthas to enjoy this spring and summer. I have looked only through Verse 03, which is my favourite and which tells about asuras falling into eternal tamasik worlds, I will cite the Tika in the next post - http://vishnudut1926.blogspot.ru/2015/05/shree-ishopanishad-mantra-03-with-tika.html
