उक्तिनिष्ठा in "Shreemad Rahasya-Traya-Sara"

This post is primarily for prapannas from Shree MahaLakshmi-Sampradaya (Shree Vaishnavism, Shree Ramanuja-Sampradaya) and may sound rather esoteric for those unfamiliar with "Shreemad Rahasya-Traya-Sara". 

UktiNistha (उक्तिनिष्ठा) is one of the most

Sri Raamanuja And Oupanishada-Parama Purushan - Part 01

Brilliant Article found by me in "Shree RangaNatha Mahimai" in SADAGOPAN.ORG edition. 

I have split in 2 parts: part 01 - preambule, dwelling on Upanishadic Karikas and Pramanas of OM VishnuPad Ramanuja Maha Acharya; part 02 - dwells on our very much adored "Shree MahaNarayana-Upanishada".

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

saMsmaretprAtarutthAya na tasya syAtparAjayaH

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".

Kali-Yuga Pramanas from "Shree Krishna-Nama-Mahatmya"

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.

This Upanishad has moving revelatory passages on the identity of

Fate better than death: Optimistic Afterlife Shlokas from "Shree Krishna-Nama-Mahatmya"

15.56. On hearing a man repeatedly uttering "SHREEKRISHNA (श्रीकृष्ण)" the Lord of the Southern Quarter (Yama) wipes off his sin acquired in the course of hundreds of births.

Bhagavan Shree Krishna said:

15.25. My उच्छिष्ट (uchChiShTa - remnants after taking food) should be eaten by those who are devoted to Me. O son, it is sanctifying. It bestows Mukti even on sinners.

For those, who don't know Sanskrit - स्वस्ति (svasti) means

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!

Yes, you can know "Shree Bhashya" by heart and rare Shakti Tantras, forgetting simple, but very dear things to you.

Reading "Shree Skanda-Purana", I have stumbled upon

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!

Сны, Чхандогья-Упанишада, Бхакти-Сиддхи и Шакти-Садхана

"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.
