செகந்தராபாதில் பெரியவா முகாம். அப்போது ரயில்வேயில் மூத்த அதிகாரிகள் சிலபேர் பெரியவாளை தர்சனம் பண்ண வந்தனர். அவர்களுக்கு ஒரு பெரிய குறை.........

"பெரியவாளோட அனுக்ரகத்தால எங்களோட கர்மானுஷ்டானங்களை எல்லாம் கூடியவரைக்கும் விடாமப் பண்ணிண்டு இருக்கோம். ஆனா.........இந்த ஊர்ல, பூஜை, ஸ்ராத்தம், தர்ப்பணம் இதெல்லாத்தையும் சரியாப் பண்ணிவெக்க, வேதம் படிச்ச சாஸ்த்ரிகள் இல்லே! ஒரே ஒர்த்தர்தான் இருந்தார்.......அவருக்கும் பண்ணி வெக்கும்போது அவர் சொல்ற மந்த்ரங்களுக்கு அவருக்கே அர்த்தம் தெரியலை........அர்த்தம் தெரியாம கர்மாக்களை பண்றதை, எங்காத்து பிள்ளைகள் ஏத்துக்க மாட்டேங்கறா........இந்தக் காலத்து பசங்களாச்சே! அதான்......பெரியவா தயவுபண்ணி மடத்துலேர்ந்து யாராவது வேதம் படிச்ச சாஸ்த்ரிகளா பாத்து இந்த ஊருக்கு அனுப்பிச்சுக் குடுக்கணும்" என்று ப்ரார் த்தனை பண்ணினார்கள்.

"ஒங்காத்து பிள்ளைகள் சொல்றதுலேயும் ஞாயம் இருக்கு.........." என்று அவர் ஆரம்பித்தபோது, ஸ்ரீமடத்துக்கான அன்றைய தபால்களை எடுத்துக் கொண்டு ஒரு postman வந்தார். பெரியவா மேலாக சில கடிதங்களைப் படித்துவிட்டு, ஒரு லெட்டரை எடுத்தார். அதில் PIN என்று இருந்த இடத்தை அந்த அதிகாரிகளுக்கு சுட்டிக் காட்டி, "PIN ..ன்னு போட்டிருக்கே.....அதோட அர்த்தம் தெரியுமா?"

ரொம்ப சாதாரண கேள்விதான். ஆனால் அந்த அதிகாரிகளுக்கு தெரியவில்லை. கொண்டுவந்த தபால்காரருக்கும் தெரியவில்லை.

"POSTAL INDEX NUMBER " என்று தானே அதற்கு விளக்கமும் குடுத்தார். சிரித்துக்கொண்டே அந்த அதிகாரிகளைப் பார்த்து " நீங்கள்ளாம் நெறைய படிச்சு பெரிய உத்தியோகம் பாக்கறவா.........ஆனா, சாதாரண தபால்ல வர PIN க்கு ஒங்களுக்கு அர்த்தம் தெரியலே........அவ்வளவு ஏன்?

..அதிகாரிகள் விக்கித்துப் போனார்கள்! ஒரு சாதாரண, அன்றாடம் கவனத்தில் கூட வராத PIN னை வைத்தே, எப்பேர்பட்ட பெரிய சந்தேஹத்தை போக்கி விட்டார்.......

History of Pradosha Vratham

History of Pradosha Vratham

According to Hindu Puranas, the Devas and the demons (Asuras) were stirring the milky ocean to extract amritham (nectar), with Vasuki (the serpent king) as a rope. As Vasuki underwent severe scratches due to the churning, she emitted a powerful poison which is capable of destroying the world. The helpless celestials pleaded Lord Shiva to save them. In order to save them, Lord Shiva swallowed the poison. Goddess Parvathi stopped the poison in Lords throat and it is believed that his throat turned to blue. As a result of this, Lord Shiva came to be known as or Neelakanttan (the one with Blue Throat).

It is said that on the Trayodhasi (thirteenth moon day) day, the gods and demons realized that they had committed a sin of not praying the God and prayed for forgiveness. Lord Shiva forgave them and danced in between the horns of the Nandhis (Celestial Bull) forehead. This time is called Pradhosham. It is believed that if anybody prays Lord Shiva in that time, he fulfills their wishes and gives them mukthi.

PRADHOSHAM ABHISHEKAM

During Pradosham time performing Abhishekam to Lord Shiva with the following is considered fruitful.

1 Milk Gives Long life.
2 Ghee gives Moksha.
3 Curd gives good children.
... 4 Honey gives melodious voice.
5 Rice powder gives free from debts.
6 Sugar cane juice gives good health.

The Abode of Shiva

Mount Kailash is believed to be the abode of Shiv and Parvati. There are many mentions of it in the various Puranas and other scriptures like Ramayan and Mahabharat. The mountain is sacred for not only Hindus but also Buddhists, Jains and followers of Bon religion.

Jains worship the region as their First Tirthankar, Rishabhdev attained Nirvana here (Check the post {India and Bharat} for more on Adinath Rishabhdev). Tibetan Buddhists worship Mount Kailash as the home of the Buddha Demchok or Chakrasamvara, who represents supreme bliss.
...
The followers of Bön religion credit the entire region, especially Kailash, as the seat of all spiritual power. Indeed the area gives one a feeling of being in a more spiritual plane especially when you see mountain peaks like that of the Om Parvat.

Inspite of numerous references to it, you would be surprised to know, that Kailash was not always the home of Shiva! Infact, some passages of the Shrimad Bhagvat Puraan state that the original abode of Sadashiv is at the boundary of this Universe at the Loka-aloka border!

These verses in the Vayu Puraan, Chapter 39 shed more light on the details of this place:

[230] Beyond Brahmaloka and beneath the upper crust of the Cosmic Egg – in between these two is the PURA (Shiva’s city), his divine abode MANOMAYA (consisting of the mind).

[238] The city shines much with scattered diamond dust. These worlds are lit from within, meaning their reality does not consist of reflected light, as does our material world.

[264-266] Lord Maheshwar [the transcendent Lord Shiva] of ten arms sports therein… He is respected and diligently worshiped by the people moving about in aerial chariots.

This, then is the Original and Supreme abode of Shiva where He resides till the end of Creation and is visited by the other gods in their space-crafts {Check the post Lokas or Alien Planets for more on this topic}. Kailash may actually be the temporary home where the Lord comes for a small time, maybe as a summer-retreat!

This would also make sense, since geologically, the Himalayas (of which Mount Kailash is a part), did not rise up till about 5o million years ago! Since Hindu Timelines begin close to 155 Trillion years (the present age of Brahma), hence, obviously Lord Shiv would have had to live somewhere else before finally making Kailash His home!!

Also, the Himalayas wont stay forever as the Pralaya or the End-of-the-World would destroy the World as we know it and Brahma would then remould it into a new shape. At that time, Shiva would probably return to the abode known as Manomaya with His family and Kailash may or may not come into being again.See More

Sri Kaallahasthi temple ~ Vaayu Lingam

Srikalahasti temple is a holy place near Tirupati in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.It is located on the banks of the river Swarnamukhi, a tributary of the river Pennar. Here, Kannappa, one of the 63 Saivite Nayanars, was ready to offer both his eyes to cover blood flowing from the Siva linga before the Lord Siva stopped him and granted mukti.

This temple was constructed in the 12th century by the Chola king, Rajarajendra. Vayu incarnated as Lord Shiva and is worshipped as Kalahasteeswara. This temple`s main idol is the vayu (air) linga.
... The temple is also associated with Rahu and Kethu (of the nine grahams or celestial bodies in the Indian astrological scheme). The river Suvarnamukhi takes the northerly course at Sri Kalahasthi almost washing the west wall of the famous Sri Kalahasthi temple in the Chittor district of Andhra Pradesh.

Legend

Sri Kalahasti is named after the staunch devotees of Lord Shiva. They were the Spider (Sri), the Serpent (Kala) and the Elephant (Hasti). Appeased with their unflinching devotion, Lord Shiva gave them a boon that their names be merged with the Vayulinga and called as Sri Kalahasteeswara. Parvati gained Shiva-Gnanam and came to be known as Gnana Prasunamba or Gnana. Cursed to became a ghost Ghanakala prayed at Srikalahasti for 15 years and after chanting Bhairava Mantra many times Lord Shiva restored her original form. Mayura, Chandra and Devendra were also freed from their curses after taking bath in the river Swarnamukhi and prayed at Srikalahasti.

Mahasivaratri is an important festival when lakhs of people offer prayers to seek the blessings of the Lord to attain Mukti. To Bhakta Markandeya, Lord Shiva appeared in Sri Kalahasti and preached that a Guru alone could make esoteric teachings and, therefore he is Brahma, Vishnu and Maheswara.See More

Bhaja Govindham ~ by Adi Sri Shankara ~ Shlokham 25

शत्रौ मित्रे पुत्रे बन्धौ
मा कुरु यत्नं विग्रह सन्धौ ।
सर्वस्मिन्नपि पश्यात्मानं
... सर्वत्रोत्-सृज भेदाज्ञानम् ॥ 25 ॥

satrau mitre putre bandhau
maa kuru yatnam vigrahasandhau
sarvasminnapi pasyaatmaanam
sarvatrotsrija bhedaagynaanam

Meaning

satrau – against an enemy, mitre – against a friend, putre – against a son, bandhau – against a relative, maa – never, kuru – do, yatnam – strive, vigrahasandhau – for strive and for making friends, sarvasmin api – in everything (everywhere), pasya – see, aatmaanam – the self, sarvatra – everywhere, utasrija – lift away, bheda agyaanam – the sense of different (born out of ignorance).

Substance

Do not waste your efforts to win the love of or to fight against friend or foe, son or relative. Seeking the Self everywhere, lift the sense of difference (or give up the feeling of duality completely) born out of ignorance and treat all alike.

Commentary

One must attain liberation by gradually reducing and ultimately getting rid of attachments, as from attachment flows grief and delusion. In other words, in our dealings everyday, one should develop equanimity and try to see the divinity in everyone and everywhere. It is possible only when one cultivates a sense of impartiality, as friendship or enmity only perpetuates the impediment of attachment. Yes, it is a very difficult task to achieve in worldly life.

It is no use to pretend to be calm externally when anger burns inside in the heart, and how many occasions come about for anger. It is no doubt that it is a tall order to ask the human beings who are totally immersed in worldly affairs, where one is after the life of the other, for petty gains to develop divine outlook. Like wise, hate can come only when one sees the other as something different from one.

One does not hate one’s own body, though it is stinking due to some disease, but the person hates even one’s own most loved person, if the body of that person has the same problem. Why? It is because, one thinks that person is different from Self. Can one hate or get angry if one’s teeth bite one’s tongue?

It is but natural that one forgives the teeth without giving any punishment to them. Like wise, when the whole universe is born out of one (whether one calls it mother, father, god, reality or with any other name), how can one afford to hate or get angry with the other. When all are one and there is no second, where is the question that one is different from the other, as all are his manifestations alone.

Sri Adi Sankaracharya has provided an easy remedy to overcome the feeling of duality. He says, that one should nurture pure (untainted by selfish intentions) love while constantly reminding oneself and firmly believing in the truth that Govinda resides in everybody. The way to control and overcome anger and aversion is to keep telling oneself, how many times one was guilty of one’s own lapses and how many are the evils that lodge in one’s heart concealed from the gaze of others.

If so, then others are also like me and what right do I have to get angry and aversion about the other person? The lapses of others are also like mine and I have no genuine right to get angry on others. Precisely for this reason, our elders keep telling us to remember God’s name or Govinda always, so that one day the heart is filled with his love and it will be lifted up to him.

Instead of expiating one s countless sins and defects, how can one indulge in wasting time thinking of the vices of others? One has to cry out to Govinda, as counting the lapses of others will only add to one’s misery. Life after life will be wasted in such pursuits. Therefore, there should not be any doubt in one s mind that the first and foremost task to accomplish is to quickly go about purifying one s heart and that is possible only when one takes refuge in the lotus feet of Govinda.

After one’s duties are over every day or for that matter even while doing one’s duties, try to lift up one’s thoughts up to Govinda, as contemplation of Govinda is the most effective means of purifying one’s heart. One should always remember the truth that one can be a friend or foe of one’s own self.

So, it is important to recognize the truth that one eternal source, as expressing through all the names and forms, is to change the very nature of our environment, the very vision of our world around. When one experiences oneness everywhere, no sorrow, anger, hatred or any other evil can reach one.See More

ஸ்ரீ மஹா பெரியவா அருள்வாக்கு :-

பக்தி

நம் கஷ்டத்தை ஈசுவரனிடம் சொல்கிறபோதே அவனுக்கு அது தெரியாது என்று நாம் நினைப்பதாக, ஆகிறது. ‘இந்தக் கஷ்டத்தைப் போக்கு; அல்லது கஷ்டத்தைப் பொருட்படுத்துகிற மனப்பான்மையை மாற்று’ என்கிறபோது நாம் கேட்டுத்தான் அவன் ஒன்றைச் செய்கிறான் என்றும் ஆகிறது. அதாவது தானாகப் பெருகும் அவனது காருண்யத்துக்குக் குறை உண்டாக்கிவிடுகிறோம். இப்படி ஞான சமுத்திரமாக, கிருபா சமுத்திரமாக இருக்கிற ஈசுவரனுடைய ஞானம், கிருபை இரண்டுக்கும் தோஷம் கற்பிக்கிற பிரார்த்தனை உண்மையான பக்தி இல்லை. ஆனால், நாமாகவே எல்லாம் சாதித்துவிட முடியும் என்ற அகங்காரத்தைவிட்டு ஈசுவரனிடம் யாசிக்கிற அளவுக்கு எளிமை பெறுகிறோமே, அதுவும் நல்லதுதான். அவனும், நாம் அவனுடைய ஞானத்துக்கும் கருணைக்கும் குறை உண்டாக்கியதைக்கூடப் பொருட்படுத்தாமல், நம் கர்மாவையும் மீறிப் பிரார்த்தனையை நிறைவேற்றினாலும் நிறைவேற்றலாம். ஆனாலும், ஒரு கஷ்டம் போனாலும் இன்னொரு கஷ்டம் என்று லோக வாழ்க்கையில் வந்துகொண்டேதான் இருக்கும். ஆகையால் லௌகிகமான கஷ்ட நிவிருத்திக்காக பிரார்த்தனை பண்ணுவதற்கு முடிவே இராது.
