Sri #Jagannathadasa virachita SRI #HARIKATHAMRUTASARA

ಶ್ರೀ #ಜಗನ್ನಾಥದಾಸ ವಿರಚಿತ ಶ್ರೀ #ಹರಿಕಥಾಮೃತಸಾರ

410.      ಭೂತಳದಿ ಜನರುಗಳು ಮರ್ಮಕ-

            ಮಾತುಗಳನಾಡಿದರೆ ಸಹಿಸದೆಂದೂ   

            ಘಾತಿಸುವರತಿಕೋಪದಿಂದಲಿ ಎಚ್ಚರಿಪ ತೆರದಿ|

            ಮಾತುಳಾಂತಕ ಜಾರ ಹೇ ನವ-

            ನೀತಚೋರನೆ ಎನಲು ತನ್ನ ನಿ-

            ಕೇತನದೊಳಿಟ್ಟವರ ಸಂತೈಸುವನು ಕರುಣಾಳು||31||

            BhUtaLadi janarugaLu marmaka-

            mAtugaLanADidare sahisadendU

            ghAtisuvaratikOpadindali yechcharipa teradi|

            mAtuLAntaka jAra hE nava-

            neetachOrane yenalu tanna ni-

            kEnadoLiTTavara santaisuvanu karuNALu||31||

SUMMARY: On this earth, if people speak in a manner that hurts, they are punished and warned of dire consequences. But, even if one calls Lord Hari a killer of maternal uncle (MAtuLAntaka), a debaucher (JAra) and a thief of ghee (Navaneetachora), the kind-hearted Lord Sri Hari takes such people into his house and makes them happy.

In the guise of abusing Lord Krishna, if someone were to remember him as the killer of his maternal uncle, Kamsa — Kamsa was the elder brother of Devaki; or call him as Jara or characterless for giving shelter to sixteen thousand princesses, who had been abducted by force by Jarasandha and jailed; or Navaneetachora as Krishna, during his childhood days, used to steal ghee from the homes of his neighbours, he would, instead of punishing them like normal human beings do, give shelter to them in his abode, clear all their sorrows and bestow upon them the bliss.

This stanza does not suggest that one should chide Lord Sri Hari. All these words are in praise of the Lord and one should offer them as worship. In fact, all these abusive words are encomiums to Lord Krishna. Why did Krishna kill Kamsa? Kamsa was a highly ambitious, cruel demon, who had usurped the throne by torturing his own father. He went on to imprison his own father. Although he was affectionate to his sister Devaki, once he came to know that eight child born to Devaki would kill him, Kamsa imprisoned his sister, her husband Vasudeva and went on killing every single child born to her. However, Lord Krishna kept everyone in dark, including the guards, security personnel, went to Gokul by asking his father Vasudeva to carry him to Gokul, grew up there like other children and when Kamsa deceitfully wanted to kill Krishna through wrestlers, he not only vanquished all the acclaimed and established wrestlers before launching a physical fight against Kamsa and incidentally killed him. The sixteen thousand princesses who had been mercilessly jailed by Jarasandha had nowhere to go after Jarasandha was killed by Bheemasena under the direction of Krishna. Since they had been captured and tortured, humiliated and kept in prison by a dastardly king, those women of marriageable age had no hopes of being accepted by anyone as wives. They requested Lord Krishna and Lord Krishna provided them with shelter. It was not debauchery in the ordinary sense of the term. By stealing ghee from the houses of his neighbours in Gokul, Krishna exculpated those women and their family members. He was not a thief in the ordinary sense of the term. Hence, all those words and many more are in praise of Lord Krishna. The word Navaneeta not only means Ghee but also the mind. By pretending to steal ghee, Lord Krishna was stealing the minds of women in Gokul.  

411.     ಹರಿಕಥಾಮೃತಸಾರವಿದು ಸಂ-

            ತರು ಸದಾ ಚಿತ್ತೈಸುವುದು ನಿ-
            ಷ್ಠುರಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಪಿಶುನರಿಗಯೋಗ್ಯರಿಗಿದನು ಪೇಳದಲೆ|

            ನಿರುತ ಸದ್ಭಕ್ತಿಯಲಿ ಭಗವ-

            ಚ್ಚರಿತೆಗಳ ಕೊಂಡಾಡಿ ಹಿಗ್ಗುವ

            ಪರಮಭಗವದ್ದಾಸರಿಗೆ ತಿಳಿಸುವುದು ಈ ರಹಸ್ಯ||32||

            HarikathAmrutasAravidu san-

            taru sadA chittaisuvudu ni-

            ShThurigaLige pishunarigayOgyarigidanu pELadale|

            Niruta sadbhaktiyali bhagava-

            ChcharitegaLa konDADi higguva

            paramabhagavaddAsarige tiLisuvudu yee rahasya||32||   

SUMMARY: This is the gist of the elixir of the story of Lord Hari (HarikathAmrutasAra); it should be listened to with dedication, devotion and conviction; it should not be told to polemics or those besmirching the Lord and his omniscience; instead it should be told to those devotees of the Lord who are bent on serving Him; praise the Lord in front of such people and divulge to them this secret.

It is common sense that for those who have lost taste due to illness or fever, no delicacy can be served. For those unaware of the existence of Almighty, not mindful of culture and tradition, the story or stories of Lord Hari sound like disturbing. For the righteous, the virtuous, listening to the stories of Lord Hari is the most valuable thing. Telling the stories of Lord Hari to such people is one of the ways of offering prayer or worship to Lord.

SRI #MADHWAVIJAYAHA – CHATURDASHAHA SARGAHA SHLOKAS 11, 12 and 13 (55)

ಶ್ರೀ #ಮಧ್ವವಿಜಯ – ಹದಿನಾಲ್ಕನೇ ಸರ್ಗದ 11, 12 ಹಾಗೂ 13ನೇ ಶ್ಲೋಕಗಳ ಅರ್ಥವಿವರಣೆ (55)

SUMMARY: Thinking that their Guru (Master) might raise an objection “Why have you not woken up early, at the right time, and discharge the duties assigned to you?”, the obedient disciples, when their Master went near the water and stood there, abstained from entering the water for a long while, bending their body, leaving space/path for their master to pass through, and stood there quietly.

Worried for not accomplishing the tasks their Master had assigned to them, a few disciples, who woke up late from their slumber, stood waiting near the pond for their Master to complete bathing.

The pond in which Sri Madhwaru is said to have bathed in this stanza is the pond that exists even today on the right side of Vishnumangala Temple. This pond is known as Chakrateertha. During rainy season, when the pond is filled with water to the brim, a symbol of Chakra, the holy Disc, clearly appears on the surface of water. This is the pond in which Sri Madhwaru used to have bath for the four-month Chaturmasya Vrat.

SUMMARY: One of Yatis, who had effectively overpowered the mind, anointed the cluster of stone statues, including the Shalagrama of Lord Vishnu, in the holy conch (Panchajanya), by standing near radiant and shining Sri Pooraprajna and removed holy, fragrant flowers which had been offered earlier, with full devotion.

SUMMARY: The disciples presumed the elixir that was oozing out of the flowers that had been offered the previous day by Sri Madhwacharya, who is served by the eternal deities (who had consumed the Elixir) as ghee, because of the greatness (mahimaa) Sri Madhwaru. But, once their illusion was removed after hearing the words of the righteous who were awareness of the greatness of Sri Madhwa, realised that it was indeed elixir oozing out of the flowers.

Every day Sri Madhwaru was offering worship to Lord Vishnu and adoring the statues of Lord Vishnu with highly fragrant flowers. Elixir was coming out of those flowers when the disciples removed them the next day.

“AmrutAnnaru” means deities whose food is elixir or Amrit.

SUMMARY: Consort of Lakshmi Lord Sri Hari accepts all the consumable juices by being present in respective organs or inner parts of the body of deities, Rishis, Gandharva, Pitru (ancestors), king (Naradeva), human beings, rich, cow, sheep, donkey, lambs and all other beings when they consume or relish whatever they desire.

SUMMARY: Sri Madhwacharya, who is the most accomplished among those aware of right cultural practices, woke up at the break of dawn or sunrise, completed bathing and other routine duties, paid obeisance, hid his face within a red silk shawl, sat in Yogasan posture and meditated on Parabrahma Narayana, the embodiment of knowledge and other infinite virtues.

This stanza describes the routine of Sri Madhwacharyaru in the early hours of every morning, when he was meditating on Lord Narayana. While the sunrise time is appropriate for all people to wake up from bed, for Yatis, it is the time to pay obeisance.

SUMMARY: Several distinguished disciple-saints or Yatis of Sri Madhwacharyaru cleaned their tooth with Dantakashta, a herbal stick prescribed for cleaning the tooth with in the Shastras. They had bath in the pond. By following the good practices, they were displaying their dedication for what they had learnt from Sri Madhwaru and making humanity aware of the kind of righteous practices their Guru/Master (Sri Madhwaru) had taught them.

SUMMARY: The disciples were going to bed only after their Guru slept; they used to wake up earlier than their Guru, serving their Guru till midnight of that day with dedication, pleasure and commitment; how can anyone find the path to salvation if a disciple does not serve his Guru with such devotion and conviction?

The word Sugati means Sujnana or supreme knowledge as well as Sadgati or salvation.

SUMMARY: One of the disciples could not wake up once at the appropriate time since he was engaged in Shravana or listening or Manana or understanding by going through the texts till late in the night; the master woke up earlier than him, took the loin clothes and other essentials and swiftly went to have bath. On seeing his Master do the duties on his own, the disciple repented a lot.

In this stanza there is an example of how a Master should set an example for his disciples. The master should be a model worth emulating. The Master did not get angry on his disciple since the disciple had spent the previous day, till late night, in listening and understanding and going through holy texts.
