Thinking of Yajna in the Mother/ಯೋಷಾಗ್ನಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಯಜ್ಞಚಿಂತನೆ
152.      ಮತ್ತೆ ಯೋಷಾಗ್ನಿಯೊಳು ತಿಳಿವುದು-
            ಪಸ್ಥತತ್ತ್ವವೆ ಸಮಿಧಿ ಕಾಮೋ-
            ತ್ಪತ್ತಿ ಪರಮಾತುಗಳೆ ಧೂಮವು ಯೋನಿ ಮಹದರ್ಚಿ|
            ತತ್ಪ್ರವೇಶಾಂಗಾರ ಕಿಡಿಗಳು
            ಉತ್ಸಹಗಳುತ್ಸರ್ಜನವು ಪುರು-
            ಷೋತ್ತಮನಿಗವದಾನವೆನೆ ಕೈಕೊಂಡು ಮನ್ನಿಸುವ||6||
            Matte yOShAgniyoLu tiLivudu-
            sThatattwave samiDhi kAmO-

            TatpravEshAngAra kiDigaLu
            utsagaLutsarjanavu puru-
            ShOttamanigavadAnavene kaikonDu mannisuva||6||
SUMMARY: Again, in the fire of Mother (woman), the principle of being silent is the firewood; sensuous words are the smoke; Vulva is the great performance; entering the vulva and the spirit is the sparkle; excitement with desire is the worship of Lord Sri Hari. Sri Hari is highly impressed with thoughts that are in this manner.
This aspect has been explained in Chandogyopanishat and Chandogyabhashya.
Worshipping of Sri Hari in five forms in five types of fire/ಪಂಚಾಗ್ನಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಪಂಚರೂಪದ ಶ್ರೀಹರಿಯ ಉಪಾಸನೆ
153.      ಐದುಅಗ್ನಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮರೆಯದೆ
            ಐದುರೂಪಾತ್ಮಕನ ಇಪ್ಪ-
            ತ್ತೈದು ರೂಪಗಳನುದಿನದಿ ನೆನೆವರಿಗೆ ಜನ್ಮಗಳ|
            ಐದಿಸನು ನಳಿನಾಕ್ಷ ರಣದೊಳು
            ಮೈದುನನ ಕಾಯ್ದಂತೆ ಸಲಹುವ
            ಬೈದವಗೆ ಗತಿಯಿತ್ತ ಭಯಹರ ಭಕ್ತವತ್ಸಲನು||7||
SUMMARY: Pundareekaksha Sri Hari will certainly not impose rebirths to those who remembers twenty-five forms of Sri Hari every day. He displays five forms in five types of Fire. Further, like he did to his brother-in-law in the war, he (Lord Krishna) will protect such people; He drives away fear and loves his devotees like he did to Shishupala, who had abused him earlier.
Brother-in-law refers to Arjuna and the war refers to the war between Kauravas and Pandavas.
Shishupala abused Sri Krishna hundred times and got killed by the Lord with the Sudarshana Chakra. Because he was killed by Sri Krishna, Shishupala attained salvation.

SRI #VADIRAJA VIRACHITA “#TEERTHA #PRABANDHA” ಶ್ರೀ ವಾದಿರಾಜ ವಿರಚಿತ “#ತೀರ್ಥ #ಪ್ರಬಂಧ”


SRI  #VADIRAJA VIRACHITA “#TEERTHA #PRABANDHA”
ಶ್ರೀ ವಾದಿರಾಜ ವಿರಚಿತ “#ತೀರ್ಥ #ಪ್ರಬಂಧ
Bhavanashini River/ಭವನಾಶಿನೀ ನದಿ
ಪರಿತಃ ನೃಸಿಂಹವಿಲಸತ್ಪಾದಕುಶೇಶಯಕೃತೋತ್ಸವೇ|

नृसिम्हविलस्त्पादकुशॆशयकृतॊत्सवॆ।

SUMMARY: Oh Bhavanashini! You perform the festival by anointing the lotus feet
of Lord Narasihma; I request you to be the destroyer of the sins committed by me
and their negative energy.
            Bhavanashini is very close to Sri Navanarasihma temples of Ahobila. It is said that the river was originally known as Mandakini. After Lord Narasihma tore demon Hiranyakashipu and his associate demons, the place lost its sanctity with the stain of the blood of Hiranyakashipu and other demons. Lord Narasihma asked the river to cleanse the area and purify it. As she relieves people from the “Bhavaroga” or the attachment to the world, she came to be known as Bhava-NAshini and hence the name “Bhavanashini”.

            निवर्तन्तॆsखिला दॊषाः सम्युनक्ति शुभावली॥१०॥
            SUMMARY: The Nivruttisangama, where all the sins concentrate in human beings get driven away and associate them with virtues and welfare, is shining with celestial radiation.
            Nivruttisangama is believed to be the confluence of seven holy rivers namely Krishna, Veni, Malapahari, Bheemarathi, Thunga, Bhadra and Bhavanashini. However, at present, the Nivrutti Sangama is referred to the confluence of Krishna and Bheema rivers.
            As it is the confluence of seven rivers (sapta nadi), it is considered to be one of the most powerful energy places where a dip in the Sangam is believed to destroy all sins and pave the path of salvation.

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)          
RAMARAJYA/ರಾಮರಾಜ್ಯ - I
ಸಮೃದ್ಧಾಂ ಕ್ಷೋಣೀಂ ರಕ್ಷನ್ — “ಸಾಮ್ರಾಜ್ಯಾಭಿಷೇಕಾನಂತರಂ ಸರ್ವಸಮೃದ್ಧಾಂ ಪೃಥ್ವೀಂ ರಕ್ಷನ್” (समृद्धां
क्षॊणीं रक्षन् — साम्राज्याभिषॆकानन्तरं सर्वसमृद्धां पृथ्वीं रक्षन्।)
After ascending the throne, Srirama protected the Land that was brimming with all natural resources.
As soon as Srirama ascended the throne, the Earth was transformed into heaven. All the good people developed the firm faith in the ultimate truth that Sri Vishnu is the Supreme God. People with Rajasa and Tamasa qualities or attributes vanished. As a result, the negative impact such people used to have on other righteous people was nullified. Not a single person ever deviated from the right path. People naturally imbibed the qualities of patience, resilience, devotion and righteousness. The rank and file of people, the line of authority was well defined and only suitable persons occupied appropriate positions. There was no scope for discrimination. No one was suffering from diseases. All were hale and healthy. There was no premature or accidental death. Everyone was wealthy and affluent. There was no impoverishment in Rama Rajya. As people were not over ambitious, everyone was satisfied and their desires were fulfilled without any struggle. All people were beautiful and charming and none was ugly looking. Festivities were common in every house. Diamonds, gems and precious stones were in abundance. There was no dearth of food and the cattle were yielding adequate milk. None suffered financial loss or loss of property. There was no room for misery, dejection, distress, despair or disappointment in the kingdom of Srirama.
Agastya and other sages praised Srirama
Uta muniBhihi nutaha — “AgastyAdiBhihi stutaha”(उत मुनिभिः नुतः — “अगस्त्यादिभिः स्तुतः) Agastya and other great sages showered praise on Srirama.
Srirama was seated on the throne of Ayodhya and Seetha Devi was by his side. Ministers and other officers were occupying their seats. Devotees of Srirama were serving him. Wearing white matted hair and tuft, Agastya and other distinct and revered sages adored the royal assembly of Srirama. Those sages were like the celestial swans in the cosmic ocean of Milk.
Srirama was fulfilling the desires of one and all. The door keeper beholding a golden club once announced aloud “Silence please” and there was total silence in the assembly. Sage Agastya began stating:
“Oh Srirama, may all people be well under your grace! You are the worthiest of all kings. You have incarnated in the dynasty of Raghu and you have made this dynasty proud. Only Hanumantha and Lord Brahma can comprehensively describe your glory and greatness. Mali, Sumali and other demons were the enemies of deities. Because of your love for the deities and the people, you called in your original form of Sri Narayana. Now, you have killed the most horrible demon, Ravana to relieve this earth from the tyranny of that demon.
“Great Lord, you are the Supreme Lord of all the Lokas. There is no one above you. There is no one, except you, to kill demons. There is no darkness that can cover the light of Sun and there is no light other than the Sun that can drive away darkness. Similarly, there is no other God above you. All deities are serving you always. It is their duty to be serving you always. You fulfill all the desires of deities as well as devotees.”
Srirama listened to the words spelt by Sage Agastya and exchanged a few thoughts with him. He also discussed with Agastya and other sages about the Yajnas to be performed. Srirama, the incarnation of Lord Hari, is the recipient of all offerings made in sacrifices. There is no need for him to perform any sacrifice. Yet, to stress the importance of sacrifices as the means to impress upon the Lord, Srirama performed Yajnas at regular intervals. He requested Agastya and other sages to be the priests for performing the Yajnas and the sages agreed to do so.
The assembly concluded at the end of the day when the twilight of dusk covered the Earth.

SRI #MADHWAVIJAYAHA - NAVAMAHA SARGAHA SHLOKAs 26 and 27 (55) ಶ್ರೀ #ಮಧ್ವವಿಜಯ – ನವಮ ಸರ್ಗ 26 ಮತ್ತು 27ನೇ ಶ್ಲೋಕಗಳ ಅರ್ಥವಿವರಣೆ (55)


SRI #MADHWAVIJAYAHA - NAVAMAHA SARGAHA SHLOKAs 26 and 27 (55)
ಶ್ರೀ #ಮಧ್ವವಿಜಯ ನವಮ ಸರ್ಗ 26 ಮತ್ತು 27ನೇ ಶ್ಲೋಕಗಳ ಅರ್ಥವಿವರಣೆ (55)
Madhwa philosophy is the all-desire fulfilling Kalpavruksha/ಮಧ್ವಶಾಸ್ತ್ರವು ಸಕಲಾಭೀಷ್ಟಪ್ರದ ಕಲ್ಪವೃಕ್ಷ

यस्तमुइत्तमगुणं विडम्बयॆदित्युदीर्य स जनानरन्जयत्॥२६॥
SUMMARY: Who can ever secure all the benefits of the Kalpavruksha-like philosophy propounded by Sri Madhwacharyaru? Whoever secures all the benefits will certainly be the emperor orking of good attributes or qualities. Professing that the one who secures such virtues will be the Lord of such good qualities, Sri Madhwaru made the people joyous.
There is a view that only Lord Brahma can grasp the complete meaning and secure all the benefits of Madhwa Philosophy as others cannot comprehend it so thoroughly. However, like a coconut tree, which is known as Kalpavruksha for it meets the basic requirements of one or more generations, the Madhwa Shastra or philosophy, if understood, assimilated and followed properly, will fulfill the worldly as well as heavenly desires.
The word “ka” means Lord Brahma. This is similar to a sentence from the Shrutis which reads as: “KashchandasAm yOgamAvEda Dheeraha kO DhiShNyAm prativAcham papAda” (Rig Veda 10/114/9). {“कश्चन्दसां यॊगमावॆद धीरः कॊ धिष्ण्यां प्रतिवाचं पपाद”}
These were the statements of Sri Shobhana Bhatta. With statemens such as these, Sri Shobhana Bhattaru went on spreading the Madhwa philosophy among the masses.
It must be observed here that Sri Shobhana Bhatta was the first person to apprehend and spread the Madhwa philosophy far and wide.

SUMMARY: Apart from the most knowledgeable persons like Sri Shobhana Bhatta, gods such as Rudra, Indra and Bruhaspatyacharya, deities also devoutly worshipped Sri Ananda Tirtha Bhagavatpadaru in the spectacular festivities of perfect, proper, pertinent and all-pervasive philosophy propounded by Sri Madhwaru.
It is mentioned in Sri Vayustuti by Sri Trivikrama Panditacharyaru: “KinkarAha ShankarAdyAha”. Lord Rudra, Indra and other deities were aware that Sri Madhwaru was an incarnation of Lord Vayu. They were fully aware that the philosophy and the interpretation of the epics, Shastra and Shrutis by Sri Madhwa was the “ultimate”. Therefore, all the scholars, deities and knowledgeable Rishis, saints, philosophers and others respected Sri Madhwaru.
