SUMMARY: Like Five female horses (PanchanAreeturaga), the five-form Sri Hari wears thirty forms, gets called by the respective names and the most virtuous Lord gives five physical forms made of five elements through five forms of fire and roams about in those places.
Panchanareeturaga: Pancha means five; Naree means women and Turaga means horses. The compound word Panchanareeturaga means depiction of five female statues on a horse and when they are seen separately, each appears like a separate female. When they are seen as a whole, they appear like a horse.
Sri Kamalapati Dasa explains this eulogy as “the way in which Lord Hari rode on a horse during his Krishna Avatara by arranging the hands, legs and other organs of five women in the shape of a woman.”
The “Panchavidhajeevaru” refers to God, Rishi, Pitru (father), emperor and virtuous people. This is significant because these five people are “eligible to attain salvation”.
TattwasanKhyAna explains: “DEvarShi pitrupanarA iti muktAstu panchaDhA” {दॆवर्षि पितृपनरा इति मुक्तास्तु पन्चधा}. In addition, demons, Asuras, Vampires and lowly humans are the four forms that exist under tamoguna category or a category of people with the qualities of Tamas. Similarly, there is another category of people with Rajasa qualities.
An important deduction that can be arrived at from “Panchanareeturaga” expression is that even though five female forms are together seen as a horse, Sri Hari manifests in all those forms without changing his own form.

SUMMARY: Padmanabha Lord Sri Hari is in the hearts of Brahma, Rudra and all other beings in the form known as YEkAtma (Mono-soul). He is in ten different forms in the life of beings known as ADhiBhUta, ADhyAtma, life, Cobra and others.
The Mono-soul or Yekatma means there is no change in the form of Sri Hari. He is the same, although he exists in all beings.
Achyutadi forms means three forms namely Achyuta, Ananta and Govinda.
The five forms such as Prana and others means PrANa, ApAna, VyAna, UdAna and SamAna. Five forms of Naga and others means Naga, Krukala, Kurma, DEvadatta and Dhananjaya. In all, these are ten forms of life.

SUMMARY: I salute Thunga River, who has bright waves, who destroys sins and is
         under the protection Lord Sri Hari. I have taken shelter under Thunga River, who
         removes the darkness of lack of knowledge with the power of knowledge. She
          paves the way for salvation and she can be easily impressed by human beings with
            pure heart and mind.
           There is a mountain called Varaha near Shringeri in Chikkamagaluru in Karnataka. Lord Varaha, who lives on that mountain has two sharp tusks from which Thunga and Bhadra rivers are believed to have originated. From the eyes of Lord Varaha originates Netravati river and from the back of Sri Varaha is born Varahi River. This information is mentioned in the Puranas. Thunga and Bhadra are considered as twin sisters.  The two rivers flow separately for some distance and join at Kudli, near Shivamogga and get called as Thungabhadra. The confluence of two rivers called as Thungabhadra flow for about five hundred kilo meters. Near Kurnool in Andhra Pradesh Thungabhadra joins Sri Krishna River. There is a saying “Ganga Snana Thunga Pana”, which means one should take bath in Ganga and drink the water of Thunga. Both Thungabhadra and Krishna rivers are very holy.

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 - II
Every day, the woman called east wakes up her husband called morning. With the intent of impressing upon her husband, her face glitters in the twilight and within a few minutes, their sibling Sun appears in the sky. The panegyrists sang eulogies to wake up Srirama, who used to quickly complete his early morning chorus, including paying oblations, before coming out of his royal home. He saluted Vasishtha and other priests. He addressed his subjects and well-wishers:
“Dear citizens, you should have faith in the customs and traditions of your religion and caste. You should always follow all traditions with dedication and conviction. Read or listen to the stories related to my attributes and tell the younger ones to do the same. If possible, tell those stories to your siblings and other young boys and girls. Follow spirituous and righteous path; discard bad habits and practices. Do not be over-joyous and do not be unduly depressed. Stay away from attachments and ambitions; you should be satisfied with what you have; you should not be jealous.  You should not quarrel or fight among yourselves for any reason. You should not cheat others. I will address all your problems and fulfil the desires.”
After a few days of the coronation of Srirama, a majority of monkeys and other guests returned to their homes. Sugreeva, Hanumantha and other monkeys and Vibheeshana remained in Ayodhya for a few more days. Srirama asked all the monkeys to always remember him. “Surrender your minds to me and I will take care of you forever. Some of you may love your children most, some may have the desire to attain the heavens and some may be seeking salvation. Hanumantha alone serves from the depth of his heart. He is a Ruju and he has no distinct desire except serving me. He does not reject the pleas of others without any reason. He is brave and courageous. None can match the qualities he possesses. I will give him the authority over the governance of Satya Loka, which means an opportunity to live with me. I am the Supreme Lord of all Lokas. I make all beings act and react. Lord Vayu acts strictly as per my directions and desire. None else has the authority to change their paths.
Earlier, I killed Ravana and all the demons. Ravana had secured boons from Lord Brahma. He had asked Brahma that he should not be killed by other beings. However, he forgot to mention that he should not be killed by human beings or monkeys. Therefore, I incarnated as a human being. Ravana suffered defeat at the hands of Vali because Vali was a monkey. Ravana made alliance with Vali. Impressed with the worship and prayer offered to me, I incarnated as Vamana and later wore the form of Trivikrama to end the life of Bali Chakaravarti but agreed to be his doorkeeper in the  Patala Loka. I incarnated as Kapila. Ravana then called me for a duel. I hit his head once with my fist. He lost consciousness. Later, I waged war against Ravana and killed him, along with his fellow demons. I could kill Ravana because I can overrule the boons bestowed by Brahma.” (to be continued)

ಶ್ರೀ #ಮಧ್ವವಿಜಯ ನವಮ ಸರ್ಗ 28, 29 ಮತ್ತು 30ನೇ ಶ್ಲೋಕಗಳ ಅರ್ಥವಿವರಣೆ (55)

SUMMARY: Continuing his journey further, like the rainy season fill low-lying areas and pits with water, Sri Madhwaru filled the lives of the virtuous with the waters of his philosophy that could reduce the heat of worldly life. However, like upper areas, he never filled lives of unrighteous with any water (they remained empty or half-filled).

In this stanza, the righteous people, who bow their heads and lead a life of utter submission to God and God-men, have been compared to low-lying areas where the rain waters invariably get filled. However, some adamant and proud people, who did not try to grasp the “easy-to-know” philosophy of Sri Madhwaru, rejected it and remained empty. Such people have been compared to upper areas, which may not get filled with rain water.

SUMMARY: Getting felicitated by people in different ways on his way back with his mystic acts and actions, Sri Madhwaru returned to Udupi and prostrated and saluted Sri Hari, who was there as Sri Ananteshwara.
In this stanza, there is an indication that Sri Madhwaru displayed several acts, which were, in a sense, mysterious, strange and beyond the perception or replication for ordinary people. His intention was not show any ‘magic’ or mystery but his acts were ‘beneficial to general public or an individual and none else could imagine of replicating such acts. He displayed his mystic powers on the way to Badari as well as his return journey.
“ShivanAmakeertanam” only means Sri Hari with the name of Sri Shiva.

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

            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.

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”.

            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.
