Vaikuntha Varnan
"gandhdwaramduradharshaam nityapushtaam karishinim |ishwarim sarvabhutaanam tami
hophavahyeshriyam||"

Saint Vadiraaj has written Vaikuntha varnane in four chapters 1.moksha sandhi 2
.laya 3 srishti and 4 stithi sandhi .
This is directive lesson in the journey towards Moksha for a aspirant .It highli
ghts the philosophy of Poornapragnya acharya in very lucid manner .
In the first sandhi after the mangalacharan Vadiraaj elucidates the three avatar
as of Vayu namely Hanuman , Bheema and Madhvacharya .Srimadananda teertha has br
ightened the lamp of true knowledge of Lord Vedavyasa .
He has upheld that , the world in which we are living , the world which we are
experiencing and is witnessing with all the senses and more importantly breathin
g in the air of the world, such a world is REAL.
Those who claim that everything is FALSE [ MAYA ] , then very tongue with which
they are claiming this also becomes FALSE .
How can a false tongue convey anything ? Then speechless such persons cannot arg
ue further !
Thus stressing this logic Vadiraaj quotes the verse " dwasuparna sayujasakhay ..
......." from vedas [shruti] to bring out the point that ,
Jeeva and Isha are two different birds embracing the tree namely human body .
If a person teases the other in presence of others as " one without qualities "
it is seen in the world tempers rise with fury of anger . Then if such words ar
e attributed to Lord Srinivas how can they be accepted .
According to Vadiraaj swamy , this chapter is intended to give bhakti to the goo
d and ethical people and increase hate among the uneligibles . Lord Vishnu has b
een declared as the greatest in the inquiry made by rishis through Sage Bhrigu
.

Such a lord's story [ harikatha] , if not heard ever by those evil people ,such
people's breathing is a mere exercise akin to the blacksmith's equipment . Such
people [ who have no bhakti in Lord ], their mundane activities are also akin t
o the sporting pigs and dogs at the enterance of city gates .
Their ears [ which have never heard a harikatha ] are akin to the rat pits . Th
eir eyes which have not rejoiced at the sight of Lord 's Idol are akin to owl .
The tongue which has not sung the hymns of Narhari are akin to squeaking frogs .
Did Parikshit not attain Vaikuntha ,listening to harikatha in seven days ?
Did Khatvang King not attain the Moksha in just 48 minutes ?
Bhakti is paramount in Moksha sadhana . With Nirmal [ unadulterated ] bhakti ,wh
ence one remembers Narayana continuously , souls reach Vaikuntha .
Reaching the abode namely Vaikuntha [where Lord Narayana is ever visible to the
souls ] is what is known as MOKSHA .
The place that never perishes is known as Vaikuntha
Vaikuntha is the only true dwelling [ everlasting stay].
There Lord Narayana is visible always uninterruptedly in his complete full glory
.
Those who have attained mukti are known as MUKTA .
Vaikuntha is the place where Mukta live ,without fear of return to mortal world
ever .
ONce entered in this world .one never comes back into the sansaar .
once entered in Vaikuntha one is relieved from cycle of birth and death .
Vaikuntha has no miseries
Vaikuntha has no incompleteness .
Muktas are always complete and happy in everyway .
SriMahalaxmi with infinite forms serves Lord Narayana in Vaikuntha and also illu
minates the Vaikuntha with her radiance akin to hundred crores of Suns put toget
her , in all the 10 directions of Vaikuntha.
Vaikuntha of Bhagavan Vishnu is above the satyaloka of Brahma .
Untouched by miseries ,sidhdhas and sadhyas are enjoying in infinite ways each
and every moment uniterruptedly ,without end .
All these experiences of happiness in the Vaikuntha is the result of service to
the Lord Krishna's lotus feet .
The bestower of such happiness of Moksha ie Lord Krishna's feet and enjoyer of t
he happiness ie Jeeva are different and in hierarchy . ie Lord is aiways differe
nt and greater [ infinitely] than jeeva during sansaar , after sansaar ie Moks
ha , and also during Moksha , such difference exists and conyinues , among Lord
and jeeva and also among Jeevas .
Such a difference is truth
Such a heirarchy is Also the TRUTH.

by manushyas as satya, gnyan , anand atma[ pa

devatas as many as qualities and by bramha in
shravan manan dhyana . By paroksha dhyan upas
.

Muktiyogya [ those eligible for moksha ] fall into five categories :

Devatas
rishis
pitrus
chakravartis[ kings]
manushyottam [ superior among men]
When these souls continuously meditate the bimba , such upasana results into dis
integration of lingadeha from swaroop deha just as skin of the grain comes off t
he grain , rsulting in the manifesttion of swaroop ananda[ happiness inherent]
As each soul is unique and different and full of happiness , a vichitra happines
s is manifested by the grace of God Narayana , this knowledge I attribute to the
LORD [ samarpan ]
Linga deha has 16 kala [ dashendriya 10 , panchtanmatra 5,manas 1] ,anulingashar
ira , thereafter mahatatva sharira . This is covered by ahankaratmak anirudhdha
sharira . Such a linga deha is beginingless . Jeeva has seven layers ;
Ishvar ichcha
jeevaichchadika
paramachchadika
linga deha
avidya
kaam
karma
These seven forces in transition to become a sthula deha [ outer body].
Anirudhdha deha is made up of ahankar and has presence of daitya[demons] in it t
o inspire the sins in us . These demons' activities do not reach mahatatva and l
inga deha and for this it is always protected by Lord Narayana in the form "Triv
rat" till the disintegration of linga deha .
" Trittatha madiye shubhashubhkarmanormadhye ashubh karmanusarena tatprerit mukh

"
I am performing both good and bad deeds .
Owing to the sins and ashubh karma done in previous births , to reap those fruit
s of ashubh karma , demons [asur] inspire to sin .
At that time , prayed by me in anguish , You inspire Mukhyaprana to punish those
starting from tatvabhimani asuras till Kali [all tamoyogyas , one befitting hel
l]
Then Mukhyaprana with his gada ,hits them to experience the miseries inherent in
their swaroop deha of kali etc in the hell named mahatamas ,such endless miseri
es these souls are ordained by You as the LORD of Mukhyaprana .
This knowledge of mine be your prayer
I attribute it to you [ samarpana]

"Anubhav kaal ghatith SriVishnu swaatantrasmritipradhaanak "
A Chetan [sentient] being has Gyan ichcha and Kriya . The kriya Independent of o
thers' ichcha can be seen in Ishwar[ paramatma] alone .
But the knowledge that ' i am doing , i am understanding , i am desiring ' such
a feeling and its accomplishment is also seen in jeeva ., thus gyan ichcha kriy
a is present in the jeeva also.
But When Lord [paramatma] ignites knowledge and then plants a desire and then g
ives activity[ prayatna] to jeeva[atma] only then a work [karma ] is accomplishe
d by Atma . This is universally seen and observed and experienced . Thus this wo
rk is not accomplished independently by Jeeva . Hence jeeva's ability [ swatantr
ya] to accomplish a task is a grant of independence by Lord . Not self acquired
or resident independence . Even his activity is not under his control .
Paramatma , divides his inherent independence into parts and gives it to Bramha
,shiva etc jeevas , as a pratibimba of his inherent swatantrya .[ this is "datt
a swatantrya "]
Such datta-swatantrya is exhbited during karma accomplishment only by the ichcha
[ desire ] of the Lord .
Thus we see three types of independence
dattaswatantrya [ granted independence]
swagatswatantra [ inherent independence]
sarvaswatantra [ total indepence ]
Lord Krishna gives a part/fraction of swagat swatantra from his sarva swatantra
[part as per the yogyata ,capacity, of the soul ] as dattaswatantra in the prat
ibimba as present in bimba
This datta satantra is always there from beginingless time in jeeva
such dattaswatantra is manifested during experiences of the soul .
This experience bringsforth the fact[rememberance , memory ,smriti ] that Lord N
arayana is alone independent
This manifestation during accomplishment of karma is also brought forward by Vis
hnu himself
Narayana himself gives his Vishnu smriti .
"Nitya naimittika kaamya bhedena , trividhavidyaashrit swavarnaashramochit sanka
lpita bhagavatpoojaatmak karmajanya phalenaaparoksha gnyanat poorvamantahkaran s
huddhi dwara tadupaasken tata: param bhagavadichchaya prapta nijagurupadishtasw
abimbavishayakapoornasachchidanandatmak "
Karma is of three types nitya , naimittika , kaamya
sandhyavandana , devataarchana , atithi pooja etc are nitya karma
chaturmasa vrata , vishnupanchaka upavasa ,tarpana etc are naimittika karma
one done with desires of fruits [ phalapeksha ] like special vrata ,yagnya ,mant
ra japa ,homa to attain some desires is kaamya karma
All these are done as kayik [ bodily] ,vachanik [speech], manasik[ mentally]
Everything of such karma should be accomplished by the knowledge of space and ti
me .
knowledge once varna and ashrama is also important during such karma
Varnashramochit karma should be done as pooja [ prayer] to God and such a sanka
lpa is necessary to be done .
Such three types of karma done in the above said manner will give antahkaran shu

ddhhi ,when done prior to Aparoksha gnyana

Such shudhdhi will pave way for bimbopasana without interruption and obstacles.
When done in continuous manner regularly uniterruptedly ,leads to pratyaksha of
the Lord Narayana .
I will release him from sansar bandhan ,such desire will be exhibited by me .
then through jeeva's nija guru , a upadesha will be made to show the way for upa
sanA , THAT LEADS TO , pratyaksha of bimba roopa complete in all respect and ins
pirer of all the qualities ,that sachidananda ,atmaswaroopa Lord Narayana.
This way Lord is aparokshikrut .

" Mukhyapranopasya "
That Lord who is meditated upon by Mukhyaprana .
All the souls are regulated by the Narayana .
'sarvasyahi pranetrutvat pran: narayana: para: ' - mandokya bhashya
Prana means regulator , Lord is the first/primary regulator . But LOrd regulates
every soul vide Mukhyaprana [ Hanuman] . Thus Vayu is also known as Prana . Pran
a means one which is relentlesly at work .So Indriyas[ eyes nose ears etc senses
] are also known as Prana , but these senses exist till Vayu exists, hence Vayu
is known as MukhyaPrana . LOrd at all times ,at all places inspires these soul
s through Mukhyaprana and gets meditated [ upasya] by him .
" ramayukta purushrupatmaka "
Lord is always accompanied by Ramaadevi as purush . Laxmidevi is equvivalent to
Lord in the qualities of time and space [ rest all other qualities she is infini
tely inferior to him AND DEPENDENT ON HIM , REGULATED BY HIM] . She is different
from him
Pramatma , resides in females in the form of females and among males he resides
as male . In a human body ,from toe till head He resides in various forms suppor
ting the body. All souls are known by the name 'purush' ,so ramaadevi is also kn
own as purush as she has equally strong nature[attributes] as the other souls .
All souls are 'kshara purush' but Laxmidevi is 'Akshara purush '
'dva vimou purushau loke ksharashcha akshara eva cha ' - bhagavad geeta , Lord
is totally different from these kshara and akshar ,such lord alongwith Ramaadevi
resides in the swaroopdeha of the soul .
" praadesh matra hrudayvyapak praadeshparimit sthaneshatmak "
In the outer body of the soul [ soul has four bodies :swaroop deha ,linga deha ,
aniruddha deha ,sthula deha] , inside the heart there is lotus . Here in this l
otus , Lord resides in the form of the sizeof 'praadesh' .by the name ' Isha '
.similarly he resides i the swaroopadeha ,of the size of praadesh of that body
as well .
'praadesh ' means the space at the tip of the thumb , when thumb and forefinger
are clasped . God resides in the form of this size inside the heart of the huma
n body . He similarly resides in all sub bodies in the same relative dimension .

' valagrshatbhagasya shatadha kalpitasya cha | bhaago jeeva: sa vigneya sa ch an

antya kalapate ' as per these vedic words soul is of the sizeof one hundredth
part of hundredth part of the edge of a horse's hair .
ie if a horse tail hair is taken and its edge is split 100 parts , take a part o
f it and split again into 100 parts , one such part is the size of a soul . it i
s 10000th part of a hair edge .
This jeeva has all the body parts in swaroop as well as in external body as well
. Lord dwells in the heart of every body [ fourbodies ] in the size of the praa
desh of that body . internally as well as externally .
" Dehantargat dehangushthaparimit jeevaantargat jeevaangushtha parimit"
Lord is also present in the body of the soul to regulate the body , this form is
of the sizeof thumb of the external body , inside the soul he is again residin
g and regulating in the form of the sizeof the thumb .
so dually he is residing inside the body [ physical] and inside the soul , both
by the size of relative thumb .
" swahrudaya kamalkarnikamoolastitha mooleshatmak "
Inside the heart where sushumns nadi exists ,there in each of the five subnadis
of sushumna , five lotuses with eight petals bloom ,In every lotus Lord exists
at the bottom as the 'moolesha' .He has eight arms and bestows the awakening and
activiy to the soul.
" Tavatparimitkarnikaagrastitha "
At the forefront , similar to moolesha , lord also resides as 'agresha' , here t
his form gives the dream state to the soul . and n the lotus he resides with 's
hankha chakra gada padma ,kaustubh ,kirit and other ornaments imparting deep sle
ep to the soul .
For the aparokshagyanis these three forms together form a bimba and firstly Lord
reveals himself as ' Pradesh ' in the external body, this revelation is known a
s Aparoksha , and then with continuous sadhana he reveals his moolesha and agres
ha forms in a pratyaksha .
" bimbarupe ................................anukarita avasthatraya niyamak "
Among the shubha and ashubha karma of the jeeva ,considering shubha karma inspir
ed by Lord dwelling in Mukhyaprana , directing the tatvabhimanidevatas to regula
te the three states of activity , dream and deep sleep , such lord reveals his b
imbarupa to the jeva and exhibits his Ishatva quality .

"Pratarmaadhyandinsayamakhyasavanatraya tattatkalin tadabhimanivasurudraadityopa

Human life is 116 years .
pratahsavan 24 years

madhyandin savan 44 years

sayansavan 48 years
total 116 years , this is poornayus
When adhikmasa is added tota becomes 120 years
pratah savan is governed by Ashtavasus
madhyanin savan is governed by ekadash rudra
sayansavan is ruled by dwadash adityas .
Thus by being present in the jeeva , vasu rudra and adityas regulate his activit
ies to form upasana of lord vasudeva .
Thus Vasudeva is the chief abhimani regulator of the jeevatma .
" paramanu sambanditavatsankhyak "
Lord resides in the paramaNu [atoms] and also in the collections of these atoms
forming infinite forms . He resides individually in each atom and also in anothe
r form inside a collection of atoms forming anant rupas . Such forms are also in
finite as collections are infinite . Each collection is also consists of infinit
e atoms . Thus Lord exhibits his glory in such infinite ways by being vyapta in
the Vishva "
"aharniyamak aharnamak"
Each year in a human life[Ayus] of 100 years consists of 360 [Ahass] ie days .
So total there are 36000 days in a human life .[ we have 36000 + 36000 nadis lef
t and right side ,each governs a day in our life , the lord representing that na
di along with the abhimani devata ,tatva devata as present in that nadi ,rules o
ver the day ] .
on a particular Ahas Lord resides by that name in that Ahas and also governs the
material things that we use [enjoy,interact etc with] by the name of those thin
gs [jada , collection of atoms] ,though he takes the same name as that of the co
llection and Ahas ,Lord is still different from these ahas and collections .

Brihati sahasra hymn from samaveda has 1000 shlokas .
note: - Brihati is a meter , this meter is proclaimed for a shloka of 36 syllabl
es Aksharas . Kshara means ,prishable ,Akashara means imperishable . There are f
our kinds of chyuti in the life seen , one is that of loss of form like when wat
er is evaporated it becomes vapour , water has undergone chyuti , loss of shape
like ductile metals being beaten to cylinders and cones etc . loss of state as g
rains are ground to powder .
Destruction due to cutting , moulding ,
changes due to amalgamation ,
changes due to processing
changes on account of ageing .
These are all four kinds of chyuti , as lord does not undergo these changes He i
s known as Achyut . And also as all natural things created owing to chyuti are k
nown as kshara , Those which do not perish in its minimalistic form are also kno
wn as Akshara . The sanskrit syllables are aksharas because they are seen in the
space . Thus These aksharas are also governed by Hari rupas [forms of God] . To
gether these forms form a aksharmala mantra . It is one of he ashtamahamantras
.
As each akshara is a form of a god , 36 aksharas X 1000 shlokas form 36000 forms
of God . Each form is unique and yet not different from the lord , Each can acc

omplish what Narayana in moolrupa can achieve but yet inside a human body they a
chieve only what is ordained as per the yogyata of the soul and his Karma . 3600
0 forms of male reside on the right side of the body and 36000 female forms resi
de on the left side . So every body , male or female has both these forms of God
in their bodies . ie A Girl would have her right side full of male form of Lor
d and a MAN will have his left side full of female form of the GOD . Thus one en
ters Gruhasthashrama only when the left side of female forms of LORD in a man i
s achieved unison with the right side of MAle forms in a girl . This unison of f
orms through mantra is what known as MARRIAGE . And Thus Womans' female forms ac
quire unison in a husbands' left forms of LORD and thus woman becomes ardhangini
, as what she carries in her body the same exists in the man by the grace of LO
RD due to resemblance of features of forms that the couples display .
Thus our body is supported by these 72000 forms and Lord in as many forms carrie
s out our day today activity for us in the form of a huma body . Those who reali
ze this , consider the human body as temple where lord exists in 72000 forms , w
ith 72000 tattva devaas along with their wives . Thus entire deva samooha is in
the human body . EVevry body that we see is a moving temple and presence of the
devatas point out to the fact that it is primarily the Devatas that rejoice thro
ugh the body and whatever the happiness that arises is primarily enjoyed by the
deities and then the same is transmitted to the soul within the body as per his
capacity .
As per his capacity means , actually the level of happiness [ happiness is jada
] as quantum is much more tha what we actually experience . But we experience o
nly a little bit of it , a greater portion being enjoyed by the tatva devatas ac
cording to their capacity . Thus it can also be said when we are experiencing t
he dukha [sorrow] , the quanta of sorrow is very high and given to rakshasa and
only a small bit is what relayed to soul as experience . Thus in every kriya it
is primarily the tattva devtas and not we who are doing the karma and as per our
level of participation in the karma we experience the sukha or dukha .
Also it can be said that everybody we see has this combo of tattva devatas and 7
2000 forms of Lord . Thus in everybody Indra and sachi exist and mate and primar
ily it is them who enjoy and give happiness to lesser souls .
{Thus when Indra actually touches a lesser mortal woman , he is still carrying o
ut the same duty that he usually carries out inside the bodies . Thus devatas to
uching a human body cannot be taken as poluuting the body . and here Devatas sti
ll touch their counterparts only as their duties ordained to them by lord. [ Thi
s explains why niyoga was not unchaste for KUNTI etc] }

Sarva Samarpan Gadyam -2
Vishva : Lord Vishnu remains in the right eye of the beholder as Vishva to show
him and give him the experiences of the real world. Vishva has 19 heads ,two leg
s and five hands . 19 heads are , 9 on left and nine on right with central head
as that of Elephant . This was the upasya moorthy of Shri Vinayak[ ganapathy] ,
Vinayak after completing the upasana of this Vishva [Lord Vishnu] became known
as Ganesh .
" Vinayakastu Vishvasya gnyanat ait gajavaktram " -mandookya bhashya mentions .
Because this roop shows the world to everyone , and it is pertaining vishva and
nara in general , it is also known as " Vaishvanar "
Vedas proclaim " shubham pibetyasau nityam na ashubham sa hari: " Lord only pa

rtakes the good in the world that the man sees and what is evil and unchaste unt
o the experience is not absorbed by the lord but only the soul partakes it .
TAijas : Taijas stays in the neck region of the body , more precisely at the pla
ce where there is man[mind ] . Taijas is akin to Vishva in limbs and heads . Tai
jas gives the experience of the Dreamworld in sleep . Because he cretes a vasana
may world in the antahkarna of the jeeva , he is known as Antah:pragnya
Svapnasthanah: Antahpragnya - mandookya upanishat
Pragnya : Lord as pragnya resides in heart of the body he gives deep sleep to th
e soul . here lord keeps only the knowledge of self , time and ignorance and w
ithdraws all other things . [prakarshan]
Prakarshen na gnyapayati
here jeeva experiences a liitle bit of sukha happiness that can be observed in M
oksha .
note : only satvikas observe this sukha as swaroop is sukhamaya , as daityas hav
e dukhmaya swaroop they must obtain dukha in sleep as well , but Lord with his A
chintyaadbhut shakti gives those daityas also sleep .
Awakening is shuddh satva activity dream is rajas and sleep is tamasik in nature

Sarva Samarpana Gadyam-1 [SSG]
Lord Narayana has three rupas namely
Vishwa
Taijas
Pragnya.
Similarly we all have three states
Jagruta [awakening]
Swapna[dream]
Sushupta[Sleep]
Human body has 1. indriyas [eyes ,ears ,nose etc] and 2. mind [manas] .When both
are active then we are in state of awakening and we perceive things of the exte
rnal world .[Jagruta avastha] This state is also regulated by Lord Vishva
When external organs are inactive but inner organs and mind are active we are in
state of dream .[svapna avastha] . Here our body divides into two parts , one t
he physical body and second our kantiswarup . The physical body is in sleep but
this kanti svaroopa is culled out of the vasana that exist in the mind . With t
his a vasnamaya world is created which contains , vehicles ,roads ,buildings and
people and we experience the dream just as if we are living in that world and o
ur experiences we record as dream. Even in this state a soul is regulated by Lor
d Taijas as it is he who separates the kantiswaroop and creates objects of desir
e in the dreamworld culled out of our mind and vasana.
WHen both mind and indriyas are inactive we are in the state of deep slumber . T
his state is also regulated by Lord Pragnya .

All this state is regulated by Lord as present in Mukhyaprana in our body inside
us. Mukhyaprana is jeevottama and is present in all the bodies and helps us to
take breath in and out and sustains us and hence he is known as Prana. Mukhyapra
na being present in us breaths 21600 times everyday . this breathing makes a sou
nd of "So" HAM" thus Mukhyaprana makes the japa of " Soham " [ Hansa mantra jap
a] in every body everyday every second . This gives us life and also life to eve
ryone in the universe, the life force to live , thus Mukhyaprana [Hanuman] is th
e life of everyone in the world . He is primarily responsible to make us all fee
l as alive . Once Mukhyaprana stops this japa , we stop breathing and people say
- he has kicked the bucket . Some say he has lost prana. Thus Hanuman is chief
deity giving life to us by the grace of LOrd Vishnu . We must pray this lord as
present in Mukhyaprana in our heart . [ Madantaryami Mukhyapranantargata sriman
moolrama ],
Note: There are three types of soul, for each type Mukhyaprana does the same jap
a "SoHAM" , but it gives the anusandhana of different type to three different so
uls ,1 . soham [ I am like HIM] , but different from,2 I am like him as long as
I am not Him 3. I am him ; The first believes in distinction and superiority of
lord from the self attains Moksha . second one keeps returning to samsara and th
ird one reaches hell . SO three different types achieve three different sadhanas
and different gati but all are controlled and regulated by Mukhyaprana and Lord
Narsimha according to their swaroop and yogyata.

SarvaSamarpan Gadyam
Shri Raghavendra swamy has written many granthas to uphold Madhva Sidhdhanta of
SrimadAnandateertha . Of these Pratah Sankalpa gadya highlights the resolution o
ne has to make towards his future course of action during the day about to begin
.
After we have competed our work by evening , we normally end our day by praying
;
" yasya smrutyacha namoktya tapoyagnya kriyadishu nyunam sampoortaam yati sadyo
vande tam achyutam , kayen vacha manasndriyeirva buddhyatmnaa vaanusrutsvabhava:
karomi yadyat sakalam parasmai Narayanayeti samarpayami "
So we attribute everything to the lord.While such samarpana , what kind of thoug
ht and anusandhana about the our self , guru , Vayu and lord , as detailed by Ac
harya Madhva has been beautifully captured by Shri Raghavendra Swamy in his Sar
va Samarpan Gadyam .
Starting from " Jagrut swapnasushuptakhya avasthatraya niyamaka..........." til
l ............" tvayi samarpiten tvatpoojaiva astu " ending thus Sarvam Narayana
yeti samarpayaami .
If pratah sankalpa gadyam is a Sankalpa to start the day , Sarva samarpana gadya
m is a KRishnarpanamastu at the end of the day .But highlighting role of MUkhyap
rana in all the parts of dayand even while we are asleep , shows how devoted Shr
i Raghavendra swmy was to Mukhyaprana and Prana to the Mukhyaprana shri Vedvyasa
.
starting from tomorrow , each shloka of Sarvasamrpana gadyam will be translated
....... May lord Vedvyasa bless us all .

Mystical experiences at Tirupati continues again...
Year later I alighted at Renigunta to visit Tirupati Again . It was 1.30 am . I
came out of the station , Just then a taxi driver came up to me and said HE woul
d take me up to Tirumala directly [ normal route would be to take a bus to Tirup
ati and then take a special bus to Tirumala at the available time , this was a g
ood time saver ] . I agreed , he demanded only Rs 200 . That was a bonus . Secon
d he promised to drop just right before the temple to save my time for Darshan .
Then we moved on ,it was a comfortable ambassador car . I dozed off for next few
hours and then the driver called his acquaintance , he gave me tonsure at a ne
arby guest house, we reached pushkarni , I took a bath and wore a red silk dhoti
and red shalya . The driver told he will leave me at a place where i could easi
ly get a ticket for special darshan but that would still make me wait for four h
ours to get the darshan as it was a holiday and bramhotsavam was to commence .
I was okay with it , he took me to somewhat backside of the temple , But no tic
kets were available , I requested for any seva tickets if available. But none we
re available . Sad as I was , Driver too said he had done his maximum bit , so h
e said lets drive back to main entrance , on the way he stopped at nearby pedest
al [ it was still dark ] , his vehicle needed some attention , he got down , I t
oo came out of the car .
By the footpath someone was sleeping with a blanket on. HE was alone and none ot
her were there nearby . driver was busy with his car bonnet , he went to fetch w
ater , I was standing by the foot of sleeping person.
Suddenly he woke up and asked me " swamy want to have a
ut seems not possible ", He took some special pass kind
et and gave it to me and slept again . I hurriedly went
oking at the pass , they took me straight to garbhagudi
hakas for the Tulasi pooja ,

darshan " I said " yes b

of thing out of his pock
to the temple gates , lo
, Their I joined the arc

I recited Vishnu panjar stotra , Venkatesh stotra , and gazed with indebtedness
n bhakti [ I was so overwhelmed because God was so merciful at a papi , pamar li
ke me , I didn't knew of single outstanding quality in me that would entitle me
to such love and affection, thus I was indebted , and my only desire was to fall
at the lotus feet again and again ] ,
After a grand tulasi pooja and aarti , I was out of the temple with full bag of
laddoos . I was out of temple by 7 am . meanwhile my luggage was in the car itse
lf , The driver was worried , he was waiting at the same spot , He was happy at
my sight , I asked where was the person sleeping here , he said no one was there
. I told him I had a beautiful darshan , He asked would I like to visit Padmava
thy temple . I told I had a train back at 2.30 , would I be able to catch it . H
e said he would enable me . HE drove fast towards padmavathy temple , there was
a huge rush , standing in the queue would mean , darshan by evening ,
I was still in red silk and shalya and tonsured head and Gopichandan , My dress
was mistaken for a swamiji , just then some temple insider came by , looked at m
e bowed at me in reverence , I smiled at him , He welcomed me , with loud cry sa
id , Swamiji had come , all of you give way in tamil , , everyone , cleared the
way , I reached directly sanctum sanctorium and Srisukta kumkumarchana and pushp
archana were done , with loads of prasadam , I was accompanied back to the car.
I stood at the temple Main gopuram looked back ,made a small prayer . I thought
I might have done some good punya in my previous birth for such love is being b

estowed by Lord and Laxmi devi . I decided I would serve all my life the lord an
d prayed for inspiration to do so . I resolved many other things in my life to l
ead a pious life to justify myself for such divine experience . But slowly I rea
lised , my Parents and grand parents were famous for daily serving food to atle
ast 150 people in their hay days , My gotra Mudgal rishi himself was known to b
e famous for annadana , perhaps being born in his lineage , I had inherited this
punya to get such a closer darshan of Lord each and everytime . I was also af
raid , whether this would end next time , or I was getting attached to this spec
ial treatment , but would that not mean I am overestimating myself ,me and mine
[ I remembered Purandar dasa song , "Garva yatako ninage PAmara manuja ......
..."] , OH leave it . Let me be a simple devotee of Lord .

Mystical experiences at Tirupati continues....
Few years later I decided to again visit the Lord VEnkataramana . This time I re
ached Tirupati by 11 am.
[ for those who do not know ; Tirumala is hill top ,where Lord 's Standing to bl
ess us and Tirupati is foothill ,a bustling city , a bus has to be boarded to to
go atop for daraan , at any given point of time daily estimated 2 lakh gather
atop and and at foothills and estimated 60000 take darshan everyday ,that leaves
few seconds of darshan for each after gruelling 5-6 hours of standing in queue
for special darshan and full 24 hours in general queue ,this was way back ]
But on that day rush was unusual , the bus stand below itself was so full with p
eople that a ticket way up could be bought only after standing in a queue for 5
hours ,and then after taking the ticket the bus to be boarded would be allocated
after 1 hour , you reach Tirumala after another hour and then Darshan delayed f
or another day. But I had a return reservation the next day . So me trying to st
and in the queue was ruled out as that would mean I would be missing my train ba
ck.
Oh Venkatesha ! Wont I be able to have your darshan Atop As I was thinking this
I , started reciting Venkatesha Srotra . Just as I finished " RAja dware pathed
Ghore Sangrame ripusankate " , Who is Raja , Oh Lord You are the only King for
me , mortals dont' make sense as Kings in its true spirit . Raja dware . I am at
your doorstep , please Let me in !!!
As I was in these thoughts , a Very plush[posh] car came by , a man in early th
irty's opened the door , asked me " hey We are only three people in this car ,
and going for Darshan atop for the Lord , although this car is our own we plan
take somebody smart with us , would you mind joining us "
Oh what a chance ! , I jumped at the offer and got onto a rear seat of the Merc
edes . Inside the three people seemed quiet educated and all in early thirty's a
nd well settled People . I was an unemployed youth .After the initial introduct
ion , two of them gave introduction as a GM in two of the best MNC 's in the cou
ntry , for the third they dismissed him off as a big shot known to them . Both
were unmarried , one was a quite shy person and other was a over and over flirt
. They used to stop at every sight of young lass and he would get down and try
to have a chat with her , nearly successful everytime , and as he came back he w
ould make fun of the shy guy and show off his charming prowess . I dismissed it
as saying you are in chandra dasa , it is usual to have such success with woman
, but you would not be successful to people opposite to your dasa and rasi . HE
dismissed my logic as just dogmatic view , I asked him take a bet , If he coul
d get away with ease with the girl I show , I would walk up the hill , and I ser
ially showed him girls opposite to his nature , and his every attempt was thwart

ed with either a slap or warning ,after eight attempts he admitted " either his
charm has lost or what was saying made sense " I said the second is more correc
t , as his dasa was intact , to prove my point , I showed a beautiful girl , and
asked the shy One to go and just approach her , he was very reluctant " the sma
rter one having eight slaps had an adverse effect on him , But everybody forced
him out of the car " As he approached her , it so happened they talked for prett
y 15 minutes and refused to leave each others company till we had to horn back "
{ later they married } . By now all the three were very much impressed by my
analysis , and asked me many questions about their future .
Slowly we reached Tirumala . I got down and thanked them and asked permission to
move about my way towards darshan . They held my hand and said , " hey we have
come all together we will have darshan also together " Then as All three came o
ut of the CAR a big team clad in white came Hurriedly towards us and whisked us
away , they also pointed to me , and I was also included in the convoy , And wit
hin minutes we were in garbha gudi and I had exclusive VIP Darshan .
"Except Gratitude and indebtedness that Lord took serious note of my words , my
questions ,Truly oh Lord you are the King of this universe .As even this second
time you made me feel special as You are very special to me , I bow before you w
ith reverence and gratitude , and OH lord let not pride and dambhikta creep into
me as I see you divine face and lotus feet , Venkatesha , let my Bhakti grow st
ronger and stronger and may you call me year after year this way "
As I came out wondering who among us was VVIP , I was introduced to the third Pe
rson in the car by the other two , who was just smiling at me all the while [ H
E was son of the personal friend of then PM ] . and I came back along with them
with lots of gifts and cards invitations to the station well before my return j
ourney time .

Mystical experiences at Tirupati
My trips to Timmappa did not start till I graduated . It was fear of seven and h
alf saturn that made me first make up my mind to go to Tirupati. Just as the day
on which my seven and half saturn [sade sati] started, the same morning I was i
n Tirupati early 4.30am . Well bathed ,I was standing at the gates of speacial d
arshan Vaikuntham about to enter ,[this was my first trip as an adult independen
tly] , A temple employee came up to me , asked whether I have enough time with m
e , whether I could spend time till evening in he temple premises? As I had no o
ther work I replied in affirmative .
Then the temple employee said " follow me". I asked where ? he said " we need wi
tness " . For what " For counting of the amount in the HUndi " . It was interest
ing , I just followed quietly , Slowly I was taken to a room which had cameras a
ll over and like a cage , inside it were variety of boxes ,steel filters etc . T
here were few khakhi clad people and few archaka and few accountants . One of th
e officers asked me to sign the register with my name and identity . Then One of
the archakas took me to the garbhagudi [ the sanctum sanctorium where LOrd Tiru
pati BALAJI stands ] via a a backdoor ,the entrance through which main preist en
ters . They closed the curtain , the door of the garbha griha was closed . All t
he devotees were made to wait outside ,[ Darshan was closed for others ] NOw it
was a exhilarating moment in my life , I the main priest and one more to do aart
i were the only people in the room before LOrd TIrupati Venkataraman ] A grand
pooja was made , tulasi archana was done LORD was decorated with Flowers , Then
he was bejeweled with ALANKAR and then a grand aarti took place for nearly 20 mi

nutes I was standing before LOrd VEnkateshwara all alone gazing at him , the be
auty which two eyes could never capture , the smile that gives immense peace to
the beholder , the lord in his all majesty was just not enough to take eyes off
or think anything else . WHen after aarti , I was asked to go back to the count
ing session ,I could not think how lucky I am to have started my day with a expe
rience which perhaps could not have been accorded to most influential or wealthy
, here I a humble Bramhin , my Lord had called me so close to him . It enhanced
the bhakti in me , I felt earlier that Tirupati was the place only where rich a
nd wealthy have their way the poor always spends days to see the Lord . BUT I wa
s wrong , if you love God ardently , he calls you very close .
But I could not believe my luck still , as archaka took me to the counting room
it was six am . The bags [hundi coins] were poured in the steel filters , and on
ly five rupees coins filtered out , there were few accountants counting them , I
was told to keep a watch on them , as cameras above were moving , Another filte
red only two Rs coins ,some filtered only one rupee coins . The whole lot were c
ounted as the counting completed of the coins , it was noted and shown to me , I
had to sign each register after making across check .
Then Notes [currency bills] were counted , Then Gold and diamonds were separated
, jewelleries and biscuits and slabs were separated , everything was weighed ,
All were noted down , by the time ordeal finished it was 11 am , a pretty five
hours grinding inspection . The total was 43.237 lakhs of rupees and etc , and 2
0 kgs of gold silver and other articles . I signed the register . and As I was a
bout to leave , Archaka held my hand , took me back to the Temple garbhagriha ,
all doors were close again and Darshan was stopped . The curtain closed , and ag
in for another 10 minutes I had a eyes full of Darshan , Archaka asked me whethe
r I was satisfied , I smiled , [ CAN we have enough of NArayana] , He took me t
o the bhojanshala , I had a sumptuous pulivogare , pongal , vada and curd rice ,
sweets . then the Archaka handed over to me a a loadfull of laddos and vadas in
a plastic bag . He bid me adieu till the gates of the temple .
I was out of the temple by 12 .30 am .
This was my first day of Sade sati [ seven and half saturn ] Aye , saturn is not
that bad man ' I said to myself ' . I thanked saturn to give one of the most ex
hilarating experiences of my life . THe more I think of it the more I fall at th
e lotus feet of VEnkataramana .

Mantralayam - The Mystique
I had very special inclination to rayaru [ i bet everyone has] , with every oppo
rtunity available I used to run away to Mantralayam even as we were living centr
al India . In the earlier such visits I found I was slowly accomplishing everyth
ing i desired for during childhood ,just by chanting the name of Raghavendra Swa
my .
Rayaru was Kalpavruksha [ celestial tree that grants everything] for me .Mantral
ayam became a mystique place for me . The mysticism grew as I grew up . But sud
denly all that changed , I no longer wished for material aspirations . This was
strange , though I knew , I could get it by a mere chant , something in me was n
ot allowing me to go for such practise.

This maddened me . Events were worsening day by day with some hard fought days a
pproaching , but mind was not chanting for desires but instead chants became mor
e intense . I thought perhaps this was effect of Bhagvadgeeta recital . Then I r
ushed to Mantralayam again . But this time I was not able to even perform seva ,
my mind wandering , all I could do was visit the local library and read the gr
anthas , upanishad vyakhyanas . BUT my answer to the question as to why i am un
able to make a sankalpa of ishta siddhi and chant the rayaru japa?
I asked a local scholar , can we really make kamya japa for Rayaru ? The scholar
said , nishkaam karma is for the viraktas , for the normal one must employ kamy
a karma . Moreover , if you need something , don't you ask your father with righ
t . and would you feel it as runa onto your Father ! NO ! thus Rayaru is the fa
ther Figure , there is nothing wrong in asking him your desires.
BUT as I make a sankalpa , rayara dhyana becomes an impossibility ! whats wortha
chant without a dhyana. But why am I not able to retain Rayaru dhyana moorthy .
HAve I lost ishta siddhi , BUt when without desires , i chanted rayaru dhyana w
as a spashta , but at the same time new shastras became clearer and clearer . S
lowly I forgot ishtakamya prapti .
Then years passed by seva concept gave way to intense dhyana , no more My body w
ould long for dehik seva , i spent most of the time in japa at tunga teera .
thirdly as I gazed at people around me i found even normal guys who did not have
formal education seemed more rich in aura . the canteen guy was also nearly rad
iant .
I had kept all this thoughts very near to my heart , but One day i could not hel
p but asked my guruji , what was all this about ?
My guruji said , this is a common experience for all the people [sadhakas ] , R
ayaru grants wishes in the initial phases with rapid frequency and slowly the ph
enomenon stops . why?...........[ next post]
Then he showed me many characters around , one was a staying in mantralayam for
12 years to accomplish something , he had come years ago with a resolution that
he would achieve something but 12 years gone by ,he could not ............... [
the reason will be given in next astro blogs] .
Someone was practising 11 namaskara for five years , would not leave mantralayam
, then there was a IAS officer retired , he had permanently settled down in mant
ralayam while on some quest . Many seers expressed sadness at non darshan of Ray
aru even in dreams , whereas roadside people claimed they had a divine vision .
One couple had come to Mantralayam for a short visit , and in the after noon aft
er a nap after sumptuous meals , hurriedly went towards the railway station , th
e train was about to leave back to mumbai , i was also along with them . we were
helplessly watching the train speed away before us . Loss of ticket price and a
overnight stay all were disheartening, Just then a the canteen bramhin boy came
by[ he seemed little retarded ], laughing at us , said " raise your hands call
back the train , say raghavendra raghavendra! , your train will come back " The
couple standing were gave him a wierd look , sad as they were , this was becomi
ng another tease . The boy did not give up . he forcefully took the hands of ma
le among the couple ,raised it and shouted jumping , "Raghavendra Raghavendra !
" the man too hushed Raghavendra Raghavendra ! , and lo the train was coming bac
k in reverse gear after full fifteen minutes of departures , The driver and lin
eman ,gangmen all started fighting among themselves for having forgotten to halt
for watering .[ Incidentally Mantralayam is a watering station , though officia
lly the stoppage is less , under the pretext of watering trains stop unduly for
long time ] .

ANd when we looked back the boy had left hurriedly , we could reach mumbai on sa
me reservation. On my journey back next time I made it a point to inspect this b
oy and his day today activities . I asked my guruji what rendered this guy [ ret
arded ] so much aura . My guruji showed me early morning at 4 am this boy sincer
ely reciting vishnusahasra nama fills the tanks of the locals with a pitcher , t
hats his lively hood , but reciting vishnusahasra naama , while performing dutie
s for livelihood . He cannot be a normal person.
Gopaldasaru has declared
ere one need not perform
ather I give this to you
just like gaya" Devatas

this place MAntralayam is easy for achieving siddhi . H

full scale shraddha to pitrus , even if one says " oh f
and leaves something in Tungabhadra , reaches the manes
reside in this vicinity .

Second I was introduced to a shopkeeper , who could just by waving his hands in
air could tell which part was affected medically ,or was about to get affected,
He had mastered pranic healing , he waved from a distant of 10 ft at my uncle a
nd said your heart has blockage , my uncle laughed it out . 10 days later he suf
fered a severe stroke [but survived ] .
This uneducated shopkeeper , how could he master this art , he waved his hands a
t my body , he declared I was suffering from abhichara , but since i had no desi
res in the heart , my vishudha and anahat were clean rest all were disturbed . h
ad i nurtured any desires I would have become insane by disturbed anahat and vis
hudha .
This was real shocker I refused to believe it .But my guruji agreed with the sho
pkeeper . BUt guruji , I recite so many mantras ,vayustuti , how come this happ
en to me. Because you do the abhichara has not entered your body it is revolving
around you . " declared my guruji .
Then I said " i cannot take this like this , i need to inspect , if there is abh
ichara ,then what is the medium ?"
My guruji told lets go to his guru , we went to archaka of Panchamukhi [ a octog
enarian spiritual master] . My guruji requested him to dispel my thoughts . The
master smiled , he told I recite a mantra , holding your hand in my hand , I am
clean of abhichara , you are carrying abhichara dosha , so my mantra will pull i
t towards me , the dosha will try to get away from me . so you will experience a
jerk . if you get a jerk or a shock , you are affected , else you are not .
I was a 28 years age well built man, he had crossed 80 so normally he could not
pull me physically was a foregone conclusion . But as he recited mantra , i fell
pretty 15 feet away in the meanwhile pulling the aged master along with me .
So it was confirmed I had the dosha , but what was the medium , from where did i
t originate , but who were my enemies ?
An astrological chart was cast , the chart showed the medium was on my body , th
e origin was in Egypt . now what was the medium on my body , the only thing I wa
s wearing was a gold watch gifted to me as a part of business deal. The master a
sked me to remove it , he held it in his hands ,it started jumping in air , the
n we decided it to put it in the rayaru hundi .
Meanwhile Rayaru restored my ishtasidhdhi and kamyasadhana . I went on to learn
more and more things with every seva i continued at MAntralayam . But mysticism
too continued with unravelling mystery .

ar thought although not witnessed in recent times as such birds are extinct now
a days].
SImilarly in this world our karma is like a milk mixed with water ,
milk is that which is intended by Lord , water that which is enshrouded by our d
esires .
Milk is the prarabdha tatva of the karma and water is the agami karma .
Milk is the pramatma gyana and water is the jad karma .
MIlk is the knowledge in the karma and water is the attachement that comes with
the karma.
The Yogi who can absorb the paramatma tatva and leaves out the d tatva like Han
sakshir nyaya is entitled to be known as PARAMHANSA .Such people do not have any
karma lepa and are aparokshagyanis . ONly such people should ascend the peeth f
or sanyansa ,then they can be rightly called , VEdanta samrajya Chakravarti

Go Bramhanebhyo shubham bhavatu
All are not entitled to learn by reading or meditating on various subjects. Some
meditate and learn , some read and learn , some learn from the mouth of bramhin
s. a larger chunk has to learn from the mouth of bramhins . In other words , so
me can know things by themselves and others need some one to explain things to u
nderstand. Only bramhins are teachers and hence Bramhins if always in good condi
tion and in swath avastha there will be braodcast of truth and Vedic literature
.As after the thorough listening to shastras one needs to practice it and feel c
loser to God , God has kept his chal moorthy[ movable icons ] in a cow. Thus wor
shipping cow will be akin to worshiping all the dieties . Thus welfare of bramhi
ns and cows ensures establishing and flourishing vedic culture.

Aidhmandhwit
Lord Krishna reduces the excess punya of his devotees . For this he is glorifie
d in vedas as Aidhmandhwit. EXcess punya , ie punya accrued more than the capaci
ty of a soul ,is an hinderance to the soul to attain moksha. Thus this excess pu
nya has to be either exhausted by enjoying it . or destroyed by uncanny karma. [
enjoyments will naturally be those that are not befitting the grade of the soul
,thus he has to enjoy greater happiness, which he is not entitled to, or sin in
a manner not fit to his status.
Example:
BAlaram being always in inebriated condition and commanding SHri KRishna . As La
xman he had done excess punya of serving RAm , now that has to be reduced by cal
ling commanding Krishna and at times being unhappy with him , going against him
during Subhadra marraige.etc
Karna siding with duryodhana and abusing pandavas , facing failure in every thin
g he undertook . As Sugreeva he had done excess punya and thus sided opposite Kr
ishna to reduce it .
Sugreeva enjoying Tara on account of excess punya.
Gautam Losing his punya by cursing INdra
MAndhat losing his punya by cursing YAma to become sudra , Yama takes birth as V
idur .

Urdhwapundra
Urdhwapundra has to be worn bottom up . If one aspires to go to abodes above , h
e must prctise the urdhwapundra dharan. Wearing vertical pundras with gopi chand
ana ensures ,aatmashakti to flow upwards. Tiryag jantu are born tiryak and hence
they wander laterally .tiryak means lateral . lateral are born animals and thei
r movement is lateral . Men are born downwards and hence all their acts involve
use of energy downwards and lose the shakti and go downwards towards hell.
thus those who aspire to go upwards to heavens and moksha should wear urdhwapund
ra , so says nardiya purana , vadhul smruti . In bhagvat it is mentioned gopis u
se gomaya to apply punda to krishna after putana samhara.
Pundra can be worn by soil ,gandha[sandal paste], bhasma and water.soil means go
pichandana etc , gandha is applied during festivals or while dining, bhasma is a
pplied during homas , it is homa sesha and not ordinary bhasma . water is to be
applied when taking bath in holy rivers etc.

Digbandhan
Vyahruti is the best digbandhan mantra . Everywhere there are demons and bhutas
whose very job is to put some obstacles into good karma . Thus while japa these
attack from all the ten sides.Sadhak has to protect himself from these ,else hi
s pooja phal is drainedout by these forces.
how does digbandhan work? Narayan panditacharya in his Yogdipika says , every o
ne has a nrasimha agni in his palms. By clapping thrice this agni is lit and int
ensifies . Then flames of this agni is used to dispel negative forces by claspin
g middle finger and thumb , the noise generated by clasp , aggravates the flames
of this agni and with astra mudra we can drive away the negative forces and sit
calmly in japa or sadhana.

Krishna as Sarathi
The mahabharath is the war of senses on behalf of virtues and vices.KAuravas are
vices [sins] and pandavas army is set of virtues[punya] . Bheeshma ,Drona ,Krip
a ,pandavas etc are all senses . There is great friction that arises in this war
that a man [soul] faces everyday.Lord does not interfere directly in this proce
ss . Yet he guides the sadhana of the soul [ Arjun] as charioteer seated in the
chariot named life. Krishna is pandavpakshapati [ favoured towards pandavas] HE
aspires destruction of kauravas [sins , agyana,vipareet gyana] and leads to Moks
ha.As krishna does not interact directly we see many a times illusions and sadne
ss in our life. We can overcome them only by abiding by him in our sadhana . ie
keep faith in his sarathya. That means as krishna drives our chariot ,he is lia
ble to take us anywhere according to his wishes. We must never doubt his intenti
ons as to where he will take us and keep complete faith him that he will lead us
out of darkness . At no time should we feel we are commanding him because as s
arathi he should take us to the place of our choice as well . But do we know the
right destination. If we start assuming our independence over him ,it is a foll
y and leads to destruction like duryodhan and his brothers.But if we totally sur
render to him like Arjun , we will win the war of senses and rein supreme with d
harma on our side .

Maryada Purushottam Ram
Bhagwaan Ramchandra , the son of Dasharath ,the very God has enacted many leelas
[ acts that creat illusions in the minds of people] . All through the avatara L
ord illustrated how a ideal human should live a life .Though he remained as simp
le as manushya , people extoled him as Maryada Purushottam Ram .Contrarily in Kr
ishnaavatara however Lord showed his prowess as divine people dismissed him as j
ust a Kshatriya or Yadav.
Yet certain incidents in Ramayana clearly depicted his divine nature
Vishwamitra asking Dasharath to send Ram to kill the rakshas [ These rakshasas c
ould not be killed by Dasharath or any other kings nor could they be destroyed b
y the curse of Vishwamitra ]

Breaking Shiva Dhanush [ The whole world could not even lift the dhanush , but m
ere touch of Ram broke the bow]
Fight ensuing between Parshuram and RAM [ both are vishnu ] they appeared to be
different and fought to create illusion.
Because , once there was a demon named Atul ,he completed great penance and ask
ed Bramha a boon that he wants to pervade the entire universe. As only Lord Vish
nu alone can pervade entire universe , Bramha asked him to stay in a PArshuram's
stomach . But he could pervade entire universe only till he does not think Vish
nu as seperate from himself. ie There is no difference between Vishnu and his av
ataras and there is no difference among avataras as well .
As fight ensued between the Parshuraam and Ram , Parshuram enacted to be very an
gry with Ram as he was Kshatriya and also he broke the Shiva Dhanush which was g
iven by Parshuram .
But Ram seemed to vanquish Parshuram and as astras flew towards Parshuram and Pa
rshuram showed himself weak against it , Atul inside starteed fearing for his li
fe and contemplated that Parshuram was different from Ram and he would die if an
y astra hits Parshuram.This contemplation killed Atul and put a stop to his allp
ervasiveness.
Accepting exile on Father's words rejecting coronation
Relieving Ahalya from the curse of Gautam by mere touch of his toe.[ clearly div
ine]
Not only Ahalya had shap vimochan ,this was simply not enough ; Gautam had curse
d her in anger , she needed her husband's love and affection too mere restoratio
n of body was not enough . {INDRA particularly had requested to restore love and
affection between the couples]
Story goes , in olden days all the men and women were born equally beautiful and
had same features common and equal . Thus there was no jealousy or misery owing
to possession of beauty.
Bramha once insoected all the creatures looking alike , he felt bored and create
d a uniquely beautiful woman called Ahalya . everyone was amused by this new bea
uty and were secretly hoping to marry her.
Bramha after long thought called upon Gaitam to look after his new creation care
fully till he finalises on the groom for her.Gautam took care of his new guest b
ut never lusted her .
Impressed by the Gautam's dedication and indriya nigraha , Bramha gave her in ma
rriage to Gautam .
Gautam had amassed a lot of punya by that time , this would hamper his chances o
f gaining Mukti . Those who have excess punya have to lose their punya either b
y giving away the punya or losing it by misdeeds.
Indra hoping to bestow mercy on Gautam , planned to annoy him , he induced feeli
ng of having enjoyed Ahalya in Gautam in wee hours , when he appeared in the gui
se of Gautam leaving his house.
Gautam cursed Indra to have multiple eyes all over his body .
Gautam cursed Ahalya [ who had not defaulted at all] to be a stone .
GAutam lost interest in the world and went away to forest for penance.
Gautam had lost his punya by cursing elders like INDRA.
Indra though not at fault had indeed felt bad for Gautam and recommended Ram to
restore love between the couples.[ love between the couples is not a independen
t feature of humans , even this is also dependent on God], if God wishes two peo
ple can always be locked in love]
But past incidents can disturb this peace and loving disposition , so INdra aske
d Lord Ram to give Gautam a vismarana [ forgeting ;selective amnesia] about this
incident.
This incident shows how merciful lord Ram is !!!!
Using RAM BANA on a crow because it hurt his wife Seeta on the breast.
Running after Golden deer [ even though everyone knows such a deer does not exis
t ] and weeping for Seeta [ abducted]
There were few rakshasa who had done great tapasya and asked Bramha that they wa
nted to achieve Moksha .
Bramha granted they will achieve their goals only when they do not assume sepera

tion [VIYOGA] between LAxmi and Vishnu

Laxmi Vishnu are AVIYOGI according to the VEDAS . LAxmi always resides on the ch
est of NARAYANA as mole named Srivatsa ! Both Laxmi And Vishnu are equal in spa
ce as they occupy every part of the universe and space [ both vyakta and avyakta
AKAASHA]
Thus Laxmi and Vishnu are never seperated from each other ;
Thus Narayana is known as SRIDHAR and Laxmi is known as AMBHRANI as they are nev
er for a moment without each other's company.
Thus even when Ravan took [sitakruti] , seetha was still with RAM as Srivatsa .
Ram never missed his wife , but he enacted as a grief stricken man asking trees
and clouds and lakes about the whereabouts of his wife Seeta.
This generated the doubt in the minds of the demons that Ram and seeta had seper
ated and they were not divine but mere humans who cry at mere separations and lo
ng for union. This thought entitled these demons perish from the path of moksha
.
Hitting Dundhubhi with toe touch;
Piercing seven zigzag Tad Vrakshas with one arrow
Sitting before the Ocean to ask for a way .
Showing anger on the ocean to dry up if not appeared .
Building a bridge [ every stone scribed RAM floated on the water]
All the monkeys were writing RAM on the stones and it floated on the water to be
cemented for the bridge.
Looking at this RAM lord took one stone and threw it the ocean , it sank .
STrange , you write his name ,it has a power to float ,but he himself throws it
does not float
some say RAM naam is more powerful than RAM
This is faulty thinking .
Hanuman explains : BY taking the name of RAM we can float in the ocean named sam
sara [ jeevan maran] and reach the shore named Moksha [ Vaikuntha]; But if ,such
lord Ram himself leaves his hand [support] onto us , then we are sure to be dro
wned in this samsara without recourse. Thus one must always engage in RAM NAMA!!
!
Making a saashtanga Namaskara to Ravana
RAvana was a bramhin and learned , Lord made sashtanga namaskara to illustrate
,all bramhins are respectable irrespective of nature.
When elders make a sashtanga to the lesser ones , their longevity is reduced .
Ram the lord is the greatest GOD , ravana is a mere soul , only GOD has right to
the namaskar , thus by this namaskar Ravans punya was absorbed by the lord and
his longevity nullified .
War with Ravana
Ravana with the boon of bramha had 10 to the power of 32 clones equally powerfu
ll as Ravan hidden in a cave.
They all came out of the cave and ran towards the Lord RAM to attack him
RAM seemed to be still without movement ,yet all the clones of RAVAN died one af
ter the other with arrows even before they emerged from the cave
Hanuman explains ; RAM was so fast in leaving arrows that it defied persistence
of vision , thus he appeared still , yet within 1/10 of the second he applied cr
ores of arrows to kill 100000000.............00000(32 zeros) in few minutes.Yet
he appeared to others as if he was still doing nothing.
Agni PAriksha :
Ravana had never abducted real seeta he had abducted Seetakrutii ,enacted by INd
ra and Agni [ with Vedavati as instrumental Seeta].
HAving accepted it Ram would have accepted a different woman .
Thus Agnipariksha was enacted to exchange it with original seeta who was his Wif
e .
Had Laxmidevi [ Seeta ] were to be in Lanka , Lanka would never have vanquished
or Ravan would never have been defeated . Where there is Laxmi[ jaya laxmi ,vija
yalaxmi etc] there cannot be defeat and misfortunes. Thus LAxmi could not have b
een abducted by Ravan to face misfortune.
Ram with Seeta ruled Ayodhya for 13000 years.RamRajya.

!!Ram rameti rame raame manorame sahasra naam tulyam tannamparanane!!

Let sri MoolRama bless all of us on this auspicious day of RAMNAVAMI .
