उत्खातपार्थशरसस्यपदं कुरूणां क्षॆत्रं दिशासु विततान सुकीर्तिधान्यं॥३८॥
SUMMARY: The popularity of Kurukshetra spread far and wide due to the presence of huge balls of clay that was formed with the carcasses of horses and elephants and corpses of soldiers and warriors who were precipitated and transformed to dust by the beatings that ever radiant Bheemasena undertook with his mace; in addition, there is the presence of numerous plants that were planted by Arjuna in the form of arrows.
Farmers begin the cultivation by breaking the mud balls with their yoke and then the seeds are sown. After a specific period of time, the seeds sprout and plants emerge, this, in due course, will yield grains, seeds, and flowers and so on. Similarly, Bheemasena completed the preliminary cultivation of the land of Kurukshetra with his mace and the seeds were sown with the arrows by Arjuna. Simultaneously, Arjuna and Bheemasena removed the weeds of unruly, uncultured people so that the land became fit for righteous to inhabit. Sri Vadirajaru has explained this factor to substantiate the reason for which Kurukshetra has emerged as a popular pilgrimage.
The great significance of Kurukshetra has been described widely in almost all Puranas, including Shatapathabrahmana, Yajurveda and Bruhajjabalopanishat, according to scholars. The glory of Kurukshetra has been broadly explained in Teerthayatra Khanda, Vanaparva of Mahabharata and Adikhanda in Padmapurana.
In Mahabharata Vanaparva, Teerthayatrakhanda, it is mentioned:
KurukShEtram gamiShyAmi kurukShEtrE vasAmyaham|
Ya yEvam satatam brUyAt sO(s)pi pApaihi pramuchyatE||
कुरुक्षॆत्रं गमिष्यामि कुरुक्षॆत्रॆ वसाम्यहं।
य ऎवं सततं ब्रूयात् सॊsपि पापैः प्रमुच्यतॆ॥
(Anyone who always keeps mentioning “I will go to Kurukshetra and live there” will be relieved from all sins.)
The History of Kurukshetra is likened as the History of Bharata or India by the scholars and historians. It was on the banks of Saraswati River on which Kurukshetra is located that several Rishis chanted hymns, Brahma and other gods performed sacrifices and Maharishis such as Vasishtha and Vishwamitra attained highest spiritual knowledge. Kurukshetra was the battlefield where the most treacherous war between Pandavas and Kauravas was fought. It was at the beginning of this war at Kurukshetra where Sri Krishna preached the most popular Gita. Lord Sri Vedavyasa, an incarnation of Lord Narayana, wrote Mahabharata here.
There is a story in Vamana Purana that provides the reason for which this holy place got the name Kurukshetra.
King Kuru chose this place on the banks of Saraswati River to establish it as a centre for spiritual emancipation, philosophical studies and a centre for learning the Eight Cultures or Ashtanga Vidya comprising penance, truth, pardoning, kindness, sanitization, philanthropy, Yoga and Brahmacharya. He came here in a golden chariot to establish the city of his dream. He used the gold of that chariot to make a plough for cultivation. He requested Lord Eshwara and Yamadharma to donate bullocks and bulls, which he used for cultivating the land. At that time, Lord Indra descended and asked Kuru as to what he was doing. Kuru repolied “I am tilling the land to cultivate the Eight Cultures as I have the seeds for the same.” Indra laughed at Kuru and returned to the heaven. The king tilled about 7 miles every day till completing about 48 miles. Then, Lord Vishnu came and asked Kuru: “What are you doing?” When Kuru game the same answer he had given to Indra, Lord Vishnu said: “You give the seed you have and I will sow the seeds for you.” Kuru responded by stretching his right shoulder in front of Lord Vishnu, who cut the right shoulder of Kuru into one thousand pieces and sowed the seeds. The king stretched his left shoulder, two legs and finally gave his head to Lord Vishnu for cultivation. Lord Vishnu was very much impressed with the king’s magnanimity and asked Kuru to seek a boon. Kuru said: “May this land develop into a place known for culture and spirituality (Dharma Kshetra) and named after my name. Any act acted here may become Akshay or unlimited”. Lord Vishnu granted the boon to Kuru.
In Kurukshetra, there are seven sacred forests called Kamyakavana, Aditivana, Vyasavana, Phalakeevana, Suryavana, Madhuvana and Sheetavana. In addition, seven rivers namely Saraswati, Vaitarani, Apaga, Madhusrava, Kaushikee, Drushadwati and Hiranvati flow here, as mentioned in Vamana Purana. A holy pond called Brahmasaras is there in Kurukshetra.

A chant generally chanted while having bath is as follows:
KurukShEtram GayAm GangAm PraBhAsam PuShkariNee cha|
YEtAni manasA DhyAtwA avagAhyam tatO jalE||
कुरुक्षॆत्रं गयां गन्गां प्रभासं पुष्कराणि च।
ऎतानि मनसा ध्यात्वा अवगाह्यं ततॊ जलॆ॥
Therefore, Kurukshetra is one among the seven holiest pilgrim centres in the country.

SRI #RAGHAVENDRA SWAMY’S SRI #RAMACHARITRYA #MANJARI (ಶ್ರೀ #ರಾಘವೆಂದ್ರಸ್ವಾಮಿ ವಿರಚಿತ “#ಶ್ರೀ ರಾಮಚಾರಿತ್ರ್ಯ ಮಂಜರಿ”)


SRI #RAGHAVENDRA SWAMY’S
SRI #RAMACHARITRYA #MANJARI
(ಶ್ರೀ #ರಾಘವೆಂದ್ರಸ್ವಾಮಿ ವಿರಚಿತ “#ಶ್ರೀ ರಾಮಚಾರಿತ್ರ್ಯ ಮಂಜರಿ)  
Indrajitu’s  bravery and his fall/ಇಂದ್ರಜಿತುವಿನ ಪರಾಕ್ರಮ ಹಾಗೂ ಅವಸಾನ – Part 1
After the demise of Kumbhakarna and the depression in which Ravana was sunk, Indrajitu tells his father: “Dear father, I do not want you to be defamed that my father, who was not defeated by Indra got vanquished by a human king.  Please send me to the war.” Ravana had no option and therefore encouraged his son Indrajitu to fight against Rama and kill him. But, Ravana was already sinking as he could easily predict the result of the war. Meanwhile, Indrajitu went straight to a cave called Nikumbhila, wearing a red loin cloth. He got fire sticks of a tree called Bibheetaka and holy grass called Shara arranged for a special ritual. A pan of iron was placed and a totally black sheep was chosen to be sacrificed. He performed Abhichara (black magic) Homa or a sacrifice with evil motive of securing magical power by chanting hymns from Atharva Veda.  A celestial chariot that originated from the sacrificial fire was taken by Indrajitu and became invisible. He chose very sharp arrows, invoked the hymns of Nagastra and fired them at Srirama, Lakshmana and the army of monkeys. The efforts of monkeys to find the origin from where the arrows were being pounded went in vain. They wandered in the sky but to no avail. Owing to the power of Nagastra, they became tired and weak. Indrajitu tied each and every monkey with numerous Nagastras.
Srirama, Lakshmana and Hanumantha were not tied by the Nagastras as they were beyond reach for any Astra. In fact, Srirama, Lakshmana and Hanumantha were capable of nullifying the Nagastras. However, being aware of the secret power of deities, they pretended as though they had been tied down by the Nagastras. Besides, they did not liberate the monkeys from the influence of Nagastra.  
To lure the demons, people with Tamas and Rajas attributes that he was an ordinary human being, Srirama pretended to have severely wounded, pierced and broken by lethal arrows or even ordinary arrows; he would appear as though he had been shattered and tied by the Astras; he would appear as getting drenched in blood and so on. For Satviks and some distinct deities, the fact that no weapon, arrow or Astra can ever touch him. He is always the happiest, unperturbed, invincible and omnipotent Almighty.
Believing that he had killed everyone in the army of Sugreeva, including Rama and Lakshmana, Indrajitu returned to Lanka and boasted in front of his father that he had conclusively won the battle.
Ravana was mighty pleased with the fake report given by Indrajitu and arranged to show to Seetha the scene in war field, where the army of Sugreeva, Rama and Lakshmana was lying motionless. Seetha also pretended to be mourning and as ever, Trijata consoled Seetha by stating that Rama was eternal and indefatigable.
Garuda releases monkeys from the clutches of Nagastra
“PraDhwastAshEShanAgam padakamanatam tArkShyam Aanandya – RavaNaprEShitEnEndrajitA nAgapAshaistrivAram badDhAn kapeen praThamatO GaruDEna mOchayitvA|
प्रध्वस्ताशॆषनागं पदकमलनतं तार्क्ष्यं आनन्द्य – “रावणप्रॆषितॆन्द्रजिता नागपाशैस्त्रिवारं बद्धान् कपीन् प्रथमतॊ गरुडॆन मॊचयित्वा”
Having been assigned to war, Indrajitu tied the monkeys with Nagapasha thrice. In the first instance, Srirama relieved the monkeys from Nagapasha by summoning Garuda, the golden eagle.
Earlier, before Sri Vishnu decided to incarnate as Rama, all the gods, goddesses and deities were assigned to serve Rama on earth in various ways. However, Garuda was not given any task. He asked Lord Vishnu for the reason to have kept him aside. 
Garuda had been told by Vishnu then that there was no need for Garuda to incarnate on earth as he was not destined to incarnate on earth. Lord Vishnu promised to take some ‘service’ from Garuda during his incarnation as Rama. As per that promise, Rama, Lakshmana and Hanumantha pretended to be under the influence of Nagapasha.
The period or the life span of Lord Brahma through the Kruta, Treta, Dwapara and Kali yugas is called a Brahma Kalpa. Lord Rudra in the previous Brahma Kalpa had become Lord Shesha in the present Brahma Kalpa. Therefore, Rudra and Shesha are equal in rank and file. Yet, Shesha had the “Sadhana” or the experience of serving Lord Vishnu of an additional Kalpa and therefore, his attributes, capacity and caliber were slightly higher, compared to that of Lord Rudra. Therefore, Shesha had that tacit advantage of being able to sideline the boon bestowed by Rudra upon Indrajitu. Shesha could dismantle the Nagapasha on his own. However, Rama, Lakshmana and Hanumantha gave an opportunity for Garuda to serve the Lord during Ramavatara.
As soon as Garuda touched the monkeys, they were relieved from the Nagapasha. They roared once again to the utter dismay of demons. Indrajitu had to come out twice and vanish twice before meeting his end. That part will be described in the subsequent episode/s.

ELEGY ON CORONA !


ELEGY ON CORONA!









Hail you dear deadly Corona
For, you have silently silenced everyone
Across the globe, without discrimination!
Nations after nations have tumbled into
Your lethal trap without war or treachery;
You have closed the lid and made every infected
Surrender without any escape route!
You are strong and merciless and shut
Every mouth with masks in clueless plot;
The masks have halted human actions and speech
And spelt a spell of sheer fear, dark agony and shown up
The eternal truth of biased desire for eternity
That is bound to be short-lived, despite the pride of innovations
And scientific advancements hailed as ingenuity!
You have distanced humans from humans
And taught the values of life of penance,
Discipline and inter-personal relationship!
No dictator in history had had the audacity of Corona Virus
That has mesmerized and subjugated human activity
So chronically and for periods beyond imagination or perception!
You have not spared the rich or the powerful;
You have not discriminated between the poor and the affluent;
You do not seem to differentiate the knowledgeable with illiterate.
You are indeed the final truth of life that leads everyone to the doom.

SUMMARY: The Asuras or demons, who despise the real views of Shrutis and Smrutis (Holy Scriptures), have wantonly twisted the meanings of Brahmasutras, which are very close to the hearts of the righteous, and consequently, the spiritual knowledge has been destroyed and has completely disappeared.
This is an explanation of the status of philosophy and spirituality by Sri Narayana to Sri Madhwacharyaru. The Brahmasutras had been misinterpreted by various demons, who were born on Earth from time to time in the guise of prophets and heads of different religions. As a result, the humanity was in a state of utter confusion, unaware of the real meaning of Brahmasutras, says Sri Narayana.

SUMMARY: “To set right the derailment and injustice committed by evil forces and thereby set up a proper pathway for our devotees and the righteous to salavation and spiritual awakening, you should now write a proper commentary on Brahmasutras; dear Purnaprajna, properly and appropriately integrate in your work the right philosophy propounded by Sri Vedavyasa and please return to your abode without any delay.”
It has been mentioned in Shubhabharana as follows:
SUtrEti Sri Madhwasya sambODhanam| VAyO iti tadarThaha|
“SyUtam jagadidam asmin sUtram VAyurasau smrutaha” iti BruhadBhAShyOktEhe|
सूत्रॆति श्रीमध्वस्य संबॊधनम्। वायॊ इति तदर्थः।
“स्यूतं जगदिदं अस्मिन् सूत्रं वायुरसौ स्मृतः” इति बृहद्भाष्यॊक्तॆः।
The word “sUtraBhAShyam” in the second line should be divided as “HE sUtra BhAShyam”, where the word “Sutra” is an address to Sri Madhwacharyaru, which means that it was an address to Lord Vayu.
It must be conceived that only Lord Vayu can provide the ‘real’ meaning of Brahmasutra as he has the most comprehensive knowledge and wisdom to understand the Brahmasutras correctly.
The reply given by Sri Madhwaru to Sri Narayana will be discussed in the next episode.

SUMMARY: No plans are available to ponder over even if one were to launch a search among the fourteen galaxies (Lokas) to accomplish the four primary, essential human tasks (Purusharthas); the only plan available in this regard and the lone path to prosperity is submission of everything at one’s disposal to Lord Sri Hari, who is always there in all the organs, Such submission is the Ultimate worship and supreme path to salvation.
This is perhaps the gist of all Shastras and the ultimate truth.

SUMMARY: The pockets where the sensory organs are present are the fire pit; the sensory organs are the fire; the subject of organs are sacrificial fire sticks; the efforts are the wind; desire to possess something or the lust is the holy perfume (Dhupa); attraction is the flame; relation with organs is special flame that dazzles; the happiness that erupts is like the sparks; the words spoken action are the hymns; one should think and submit every action, reaction, speech to Sri Hari, which is known as Adhyatma Yajna, a sacrifice of spirituality.
This has been termed as spiritual awakening or emancipation, the final frontier of all lives.

SUMMARY: The holy city of Hastinapuri, which chose Dharmaraya and discarded the intruders-like Duryodhana, who had inherited the traits of Kali, and his followers, as her ruler. The city of Hastinapuri shines like a star as she chose epitome of culture and righteousness Dharmaraya as per husband (ruler or king) after the evil motives, ambitions, selfish thoughts, arrogance and narrow minded, Kali-possessed Duryodhana was vanquished by Bheema and through the penance of Pandavas, which they performed by tolerating the ordeal of forest exile.
King Hasti was a descendant of Chandra or Moon dynasty. According to one source, Hasti was the son of Bruhatkshatra, who was the eldest son of Manyu. According to another source, Hasti was born to Suhotra from Jayanti. Both are said to have established a very large and well planned city during their respective regimes. Since this city was established by King Hasti, it came to be known as Hastinapuri or Hastinapura. It was the capital of the Kuru kings as well as Pandavas. Remnants of a glorious city are believed to be lying in the north-eastern side of the present Delhi. However, some excavators and geologists are of the view that the rich and pompous Hastinapuri must have gone underground near the present Beejanur. It appears that Hastinapuri lost all its glory and prime of place among the last few kings of Chandra dynasty, who shifted their capital to Delhi.
In the stanza under reference above, Sri Vadirajaru explains that Hastinapuri became unhappy with the unjust, uncivil and uncultured activities of Dhrutarashtra, his son Duryodhana, Dushshasana and their 98 more younger brothers. Therefore, she got Duryodhana and others destroyed through Pandavas and chose Dharma Raya to her throne.
At present, Hastinapuri is about 22 miles from Meerut.
Sri Vadirajaru describes Kurukshetra in the next stanza to be discussed in the next episode.
