Embodiments
of Love!
"The
proper study of mankind is woman."
We
cannot attain perfection without women around us;
Let us step into the second paragraph:
तनीयांसं पासुं तव चरणपङ्केरुहभवं
विरिञ्चिः सञ्चिन्वन् विरचयति लोकानविकलम् ।
वहत्येनं शौरिः कथमपि सहस्रेण शिरसां
हरः संक्षुद्यै(भ्यै)नं भजति भसितोद्धूलनविधिम् ॥२॥
Transliteration:
taneeya amsam paamsum tavacharana pankaeruha bhavam
virinchis sanchinwan virachayati lokaan avikalan
vahatyaenam Saurih katham api sahasraena Sirasaam
harah samkshudwainam bhajati bhasmod
doolana vidhim.
Simple meaning:
Oh Bhagavati,
Virinchi (the Creator) carefully gathers the
minute dust from Thy celebrated lotus feet to accomplish his creativity of all
the worlds, without any hindrance.
Shouri (Vishnu) somehow manages to carry this
dust on his thousand heads.
Hara (Siva) amalgamates this powder and observes
the injunction for sprinkling it on Himself as the sacred ash (vibhooti).
Oh My God!
I thought that I am the only love fool, who
thinks that the feet are the source of the greatest Love; here is a saint who
has said it all;
see the beauty
see the beauty
On feet I have written many articles;
Normally all Hindu Gods or any other
religious forms are depicted to have only two feet though they may have more
than one head;
Exception is the reference given in
Purusha Suktham:
Om sahasra shirsha purushaha
sahasrakshas sahasrapat
The
Purusha (the Supreme Being) has a thousand heads, a thousand eyes and a
thousand feet.
Look at the meaning….
Creator creates with
the dust
Protector guards with
the dust
Terminator ends the
dust by smearing onto his body
To understand I need
to rely heavily on Einstein:
E=mc2
it is called
theory of Relativity, a wonderful discovery…..volumes can be written on this
subject matter
One simple interpretation
is that “You Can Turn Energy into Matter”
Essentially,
the equation says that mass and energy are intimately related. Atom bombs and
nuclear reactors are practical examples of the formula working in one
direction, turning matter into energy.
Coming
to our slogam 2, the three stages creation, protection and destruction can be
related to Einstein’s theory.
When
we see the circulation of dust from the feet of my Mother through the hand of
Brahma, Head of Vishnu and the body of Siva, they are bound by the following
hypothesis
This states that energy can be
neither created nor destroyed. However, energy can change forms, and energy can
flow from one place to another. The total energy of an isolated system does not
change.
Here
I consider the whole world as an isolated system; dust is the matter which gets
transformed into energy and mass when it takes the shape of creatures and again
turns into matter in the body of Siva
Again
I was wondering when these dust particles would reach the lotus feet of my
mother back!!!
As a
lover of Siva, I have plans to canvas for my Lord Siva here( 23 rd being a
bonanza for me…Somavaaram—Monday; Pradhosham….Kaarthika month…my mentor Satya
Sai Baba’s birthday, who has made me and still making me a better person day by
day)…
The
battle between Raktabija and the Devi ensued. Durga charged again and again;
Raktabija's blood spilled everywhere. From each drop of blood a thousand more
demons like him sprang up.
They
laughed and shouted at the goddess' dilemma. Upon seeing this, Durga became
enraged. She knitted her brows in absolute fury. From this concentration came
Kali, the Terrible One.
She
turned her furious gaze upon the demon armies, half fell lifeless from the
deadly grip of Her stare.
With
his armies fully destroyed, again the great Devi faced off with Raktabija. Kali
pierced the demon in the side and quickly caught the flowing blood with her
tongue and drank it greedily. The life energy of Rakatibija flowed out with his
dripping blood like wine from a bottle. This time he was not given the chance
to raise more demons from his blood. He was helpless in the face of this
terrifying hag. Kali lifted him high in the air so she could more easily drain
the blood from his body. Finally, drunken with the blood of victory, Kali,
threw away the demon-general's corpse. The world was saved. . . . .almost.
Soon
the demon corpses were reduced to mush, yet Kali continued dancing. It seemed
as though nothing would stop Her, and again the world was on the verge of
collapse. Something had to be done, and soon. The gods begged Shiva to intervene
and calm Kali before it was too late.
Shiva did not yet believe that the
world would be destroyed. As Lord of the Dance, He himself was enjoying the
fine display of dancing. He laughed and waved the other gods away. "Let
Kali enjoy herself,"he said, "Her job was well done."
That
was right before he was unseated by the thunderous pounding of Kali's dance.
When he attempted to right himself, another foot step from the Devi sent him
flying in the air. He then understood the full force of what was taking place.
He hurried down to the other gods. They again beseeched him to do something.
Shiva
called out again, but again His words went unheard. Finally in an act of
complete desperation, Shiva threw Himself down beneath Her feet.
Kali
continued her frenzied dancing, pounding the life out of her husband. It was a
few moments more before She realized that it was indeed Her husband, Shiva, who
lay flattened at Her feet. This quickly brought Her out of Her trance, and She
was once more the calm Devi.
Now
you know how the dust gathered by Siva again reaches my Mother’s feet !
In “ Endymion” John Keats writes as
follows:
THING of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
Endymion is a poetic romance, Keats’s first
major work; it represents the poet’s
first sustained attempt to explore the relationship between the real world of
human experience and the ethereal world of an idealized existence. Divided into
four books, the poem traces Endymion’s progress from his initial desire to rise
above his earthly existence by cultivating his love for Diana, the goddess of
the moon, who represents ideal love, to his gradual reconciliation, in the end,
to his mortal condition and the love that he feels for an Indian maiden whom he
meets during his quest. Upon realizing the dangers of trying to deny his own
human nature, Endymion suddenly discovers that the Indian maiden, his mortal
counterpart, is really Diana, his immortal desire, in disguise. In the end,
Endymion learns that he can only rise above his mortal nature and achieve some
kind of idealized existence if he first accepts “his natural sphere.” Keats’s
point, as in other poems, is that any attempt to achieve an abstract ideal must
begin with an acceptance of concrete human experience.
Dear Friends,
Striving for excellence motivates me!
Striving for perfection demoralizes me!!
Am I a good person or bad person?
