Lord Venkateshwara

Lord Venkateshwara


In Hinduism Lord Venkateswara is the Supreme God also another form of Lord Vishnu.  In this KaliYuga people are attached themself to material pleasures and forgot the diveness and so yogies praied Lord Vishnu ,should appear in Kaliyug to destroy the sins of the people,and develop self-realization, so he incarnated as Lord Venkateswarsa (which means Supre God destroys all the sins) from his devotees wishes. The other names for Venkateswara are Srinivasa, Venkatachalapathi, Balaji, Narayana,  Narayanadhri , Tirupathi Timmappa also. The Lord Venkateswara is appeared to be on seven hills(Venkata Hills) which is now populared as Tirumala near Tirupathi. That’s why he is also refered as “Yedukondala Venkateswara” (Seven hills recieted God) also by his disciples. Padmavathi is at her foot down called as Tiruchanur (Tirupathi)
Incarnation as Venkateswara :
In Purnas it is said to be the lord Vishnu came to this place in search of his abode lakshmi, as lakshmi left Vaikunta when a Bhrugu Maharshi came to visit and didn’t get the hounour, fractuated bhrugu kicked Lord Vishnu with his feet on his chest  a place where Sri Mahalaksmi resits, even by this also Vishnu is silent and so by anger Lakshmi devi left Vaikunta and later some time Maha Vishnu came to venkata hill in search of lakshmi, and after some month vishnu is surronded by ant-hill pity Bramha and maha shiva formed as cow and emptyed milk everyday which is belonged to Chola king and when cowherd shoot with his bow vishnu injured on forehead he saw vishnu blood he fell down and died, later  chola king found this and cursed by Vishnu which will end when he marries Padmavathi, Later Vishnu decided a stay on a hil of Varaha by which Vishnu blessed him, in future this place will be famous as Varaha Kshetram and he wil first  get prays and Naiyvedyam by every devotee who visits. Later one day Maha Vishnu heared a song which brought him to Vakiladevi . Both came to know their past, as Vakuladeva is re-birth of Yasodha who brought-up krishna, but unable to see his marriage, sho krishna that Dwapara Yug has promised her , that she will see his son’s marriage in next-birth, so Vakula devi treated Srinivasa as his son, and later Srinivasa meets princess Alamelu(Padmavathi) and soon fall in love, and his father agress and says that marriage should be performed grandly, for which Srinivasa abtained heavy loan from Kubera ( lord of wealth) and promises him that he will pay the debt with interest by end of kaliyuga.
 After marriage Srinivasa and Padmavathi where on the Varaha hill, then lakshmi see Vishnu and both quarrels saying that Srinivasa is her husband Vishnu, and by this Srinivasa becomes statue followed Padmavathi and Lakshmi statue also, which is prominet as the Swayambu of Lord Vishnu.

Importance of Shiva Tandava Stotram

Importance of Shiva Tandava Stotram

Shiva Tandava Stotram is an important prayer dedicated to God Shiva. Ravana, the demon king in the Ramayana, is believed to have composed the Stotra. The hymn glorifies Shiva as the Supreme Brahman.

Ravana was arrogant with his powers. So to impress Shiva, He once attempted to life the Kailash Mountain. Shiva to quell the arrogance of Ravana simply placed his toe on the mountain. Ravana’s fingers were crushed in the attempt and he could not remove it from under the Holy Mountain.

To remove his fingers and escape from the pain and impending death, Ravana sang the Shiva Tandava Stotram.

Pleased with the Stotram, Shiva saved Ravana and blessed him with the Chandrahas, a powerful weapon.

It is also stated that Ravana who was an ardent devotee of Shiva used to sing the Stotram daily to the accompaniment of Ravanahatha, a bowed fiddle that he had made.

एक बार एक स्वामी जी भिक्षा माँगते हुए एक घर के सामने खड़े हुए और उन्होंने आवाज लगायी,
भीक्षा दे दे माते!!
घर से महिला बाहर आयी। उसने उनकी झोली मे भिक्षा डाली और कहा,
“महात्माजी,
कोई उपदेश दीजिए!”
स्वामीजी बोले, “आज नहीं, कल दूँगा।”
दूसरे दिन स्वामीजी ने पुन: उस घर के सामने आवाज दी –
भीक्षा दे दे माते!!
उस घर की स्त्री ने उस दिन खीर बनायीं थी, जिसमे बादाम-पिस्ते भी डाले थे, वह खीर का कटोरा लेकर बाहर आयी।
स्वामी जी ने अपना कमंडल आगे कर दिया।
वह स्त्री जब खीर डालने लगी, तो उसने देखा कि कमंडल में गोबर और कूड़ा भरा पड़ा है। उसके हाथ ठिठक गए। वह बोली,
“महाराज !
यह कमंडल तो गन्दा है।”
स्वामीजी बोले, “हाँ,
गन्दा तो है, किन्तु खीर इसमें डाल दो।”
स्त्री बोली, “नहीं महाराज, तब तो खीर ख़राब हो जायेगी। दीजिये यह कमंडल, में इसे शुद्ध कर लाती हूँ।”
स्वामीजी बोले, मतलब जब यह कमंडल साफ़ हो जायेगा, तभी खीर डालोगी न?”
स्त्री ने कहा : “जी महाराज !”
स्वामीजी बोले,
“मेरा भी यही उपदेश है। मन में जब तक चिन्ताओ का कूड़ा-कचरा और बुरे संस्करो का गोबर भरा है, तब तक उपदेशामृत का कोई लाभ न होगा।
यदि उपदेशामृत पान करना है, तो प्रथम अपने मन को शुद्ध करना चाहिए, कुसंस्कारो का त्याग करना चाहिए, तभी सच्चे सुख और आनन्द की प्राप्ति होगी।”

मायूस इनके दर से सवाली नही होता
वेह बाग़ खिलते है जहा माली नही होता
लुटते जाते है अपनी रहमतों को ज़माने पर
मेरे साईं का खजाना कभी खाली नही होता...
मायूस इनके दर से सवाली नही होता 
वेह बाग़ खिलते है जहा माली नही होता

Mirage looks like water similarly an enemy can look like a friend – Chanakya

From the crow one should learn five things: sex in secrecy, secret action, catch in time, unruffled behavior and distrust of everyone.

Just as a pigeon which has live on the holy fig tree is a source of constant danger to the silk cotton tree, so a person who has come after living with the enemy is a source of constant danger.

The mirage looks like water. An enemy can look like a friend.

The enemy can be defeated by a combination of good people.
Chanakya

Shri Lord Krishna IN udupi

 
 
Udupi (Tulu:ಉಡುಪಿ, Konkani:उडुपी and Kannada:ಉಡುಪಿ) is a town in the south-west Indian State of Karnataka. It is the headquarters of Udupi District. Udupi is notable for the Krishna Temple, and lends its name to the popular Udupi cuisine. Udupi, also known as Rajata Peetha and Shivalli (Shivabelli), a centre of pilgrimage, is situated about 58 km north of Mangalore and about 422 km north-west of Bangalore.
It is widely believed that the name of Udupi was derived from its Tulu name Odipu. The Tulu name in turn is associated with a temple at Malpe, devoted to Vadapandeshwara. Another story is that the name Udupi came from the combination of the Sanskrit words Udu and Pa, which mean "stars" and "lord." According to legend, the moon's light was once reduced due to a curse by King Daksha, whose 27 daughters (the 27 stars, according to Hindu astrology) were married to the moon. The moon prayed to Lord Shiva to get back its original shine. Lord Shiva was pleased with the moon's prayer and restored its shine. Legend says that the moon and his wives made their prayer at the Chandramouleeshwara temple at Udupi, creating a linga that can be seen even today. According to this story, therefore, Udupi means the land of the "lord of the stars," the moon.
Udupi is known for the Krishna Mutt (Temple of Lord Krishna) and also native place of the Vaishnavite saint Shri Madhvacharya who founded the Krishna Mutt in the 13th century.
According to folklore, there was a storm in the sea at Malpe. Shri Madhvacharya was on the shore at the time and saw a ship which was in trouble. He helped the ship reach the shore to safety. The sailors were very grateful to him and gave him deities of Lord Krishna and Lord Balarama. He did the pratishte (installation ceremony) of the deity of Lord Balarama near Malpe. This temple is known as Vadapandeshwara. He brought the deity of Lord Krishna and did the pratishte at Udupi. This temple is known as Krishna Mutt.
Shri Madhvacharya handed over the puja and administration of Krishna Mutt to his 8 disciples. Each of them set up their Matha (monasteries) around the Krishna Mutt.[1] These are known as the Ashta Matha. These Mathas are Pejavara, Puttige, Palimaru, Adamaru, Sodhe, Kaniyooru, Shirur and Krishnapura. Since then, the daily sevas (offerings to god) and administration of the Krishna Mutt are managed by the Ashta Mathas (eight temples). Each of the Ashta Mathas performs Mutt management activities for two years in a cyclical order. During the Paryaya festival, held every two years, the Mutt management is handed over to the next Matha. Each of the Mathas is headed by a Swami, who will be in charge of the Mutt during his Paryaya.

In the 16th century during Sri Vaadiraja's administration, Kanakadasa an ardent believer of God came to Udupi to worship Lord Krishna. He was not allowed inside the Mutt since he was from the caste other than Brahmin, as during that time only Brahmins had the privilege of entering the Mutt to offer pooja to the God. He tried to see Lord Krishna from a small window, but was only able to see Lord Krishna from the back. It is believed that Sri Krishna was pleased by Kanakadasa's bhakti(devotion), so he turned to window. This window is known as Kanakana Kindi. To this day, the Vigraha (Deity) of Lord Krishna faces the back of the Mutt towards the Kanakana Kindi. All Hindu temples have their Vigraha (Deity) facing the entrance of the temple, except Krishna Mutt. Kanakana Kindi is decorated with carvings depicting the ten incarnations of Vishnu. Through the nine small holes of the window we should see the deity of Sri Kadagolu Krishna as a very young boy. He holds the churning rod in His right hand and rope in his left. The Krishna Matha is known throughout the world for its religious customs, traditions, and learning in Dvaita or Tatvavaada philosophy. It is also the center of Daasa Sahitya, a form of literature that originated in Udupi.

Holy Vata Vriksh (Banyan tree) The national tree of Bharatvarsh 

Description of the place where Mahadev Bhagwan Shiv Shankar resides with Maa Shakti, he is always busy with hisTapasya, chanting the holy name of Bhagwan Sri Ram & dictating the Bhagwat Katha to Rishis, Maharshis & Brahmarishis sitting under the Vata Vriksh.

Vat Vriksha of Kailasha is 100 yojan high which is around 400 kos (1 kos is 3 kms) – 1200 kms is the height of this Tree.
One twig is around 53 kos which is 159kms huge with roots hanging all around.
One leaf, the smallest one is around 2 yojan long which is 8 kos, the smallest leaf is only 24 kms long.
No birds resides on this tree, nor taap/heat of Sun rays can enter this place. This huge tree is the residence of Bhagwan Shiv & maa Parvati with their guns/Disciples.

Sri Krishna says: - Of all trees I am the banyan tree...........(Bhagwad Gita - 10.26)

Sri Krishna teaches us something from this divine tree - There is a banyan tree which has its roots upward and its branches down, and the Vedic hymns are its leaves. One who knows this tree is the knower of the Vedas." (Bhagwad Gita - 15.1) 

Vat Vriksh is worshipped in Sanatan Dharma – The Holy tree describes about the material world which is compared to a tree whose roots are upwards & branches are below. If someone stands on near a reservoir of water or a river, pond etc he/she can observe that the tree reflected in the water is upside down. The branches go downwards & the roots upward. Similarly this material world is a mere reflection of Spiritual sky. This material world looks beautiful only because it is the shadow reflection of the spiritual sky & in shadow there is no reality or substantiality, but from the shadow we can understand that there is substance & reality
