  • Lakshmi Jyeshta Devi Durga In Ancient Sumeria?

    I have written on the presence of Sanatana Dharma throughout the world.

    Either they have been a part of Sanatana Dharma directly or having been there after being inhabited by the Tamils who have been, contrary to what the fraudulent Tamil Historians say on this, a part of Sanatana Dharma.

    Sanatana Dharma had been there in Sumeria, Mesopotamia , apart from being present in other Cultures.

    The Hindu Gods are present in the Sumerian and Mesopotamian Culture

    Rama and Dasaratha’s names are found in the King’s List of Sumeria.

    ‘

    In the Kings List, one finds the Dynasties of the Kings of Sumeria with their official locations.

    It includes the names of Kings of adjoining countries, then called city states

    The Kingship was believed to be from the Gods and was transferable from one  city to another.

    Rama in Sumerian King List

    If Ram-Sin is identified as Rama his greatest Amorite enemy Hammurabi must be Ravana or Ravi-anna. This presents some difficulties although Valmiki’s version of the abduction of Sita probably has more to do with poetic imagination than history. However, that she was the chief priestess of the moon-temple at Ur may have been at the root of some events of the politically turbulent era. There is a possibility that at some stage Ur was captured by Hammurabi. The chief-priestess of Ur was inviolable under Sumerian law and the fact that Ravana did not dishonour Sita may show his regard for law. The Battle between Khammu-ravi and Ram-Sin who led a group of Ten-Kings was one of the most famous events of Sumerian history.

    Rama Invaded Babylon

    There is also a similarity between the war of Ten Kings during the Vedic period and battle of Ten kings in Sumeria,

    Now I have come across references to Goddess Durga and Lakshmi in the Sumerian Culture.

    Look at the following Image of Inanna.

    Inanna, Sumerian Goddess.jpg Inanna, Sumerian Goddess.

    You find the Lion  as one would find in Durga Temples and Trishul as well.

    Goddess Durga.jpg Goddess Durga.

    Inanna, the goddess of love and war, with a lion. No other image of Inanna better illustrates her dual nature. She is depicted as a goddess of love, “showing some leg”; while the lion and the weapons of battle (maces) seen rising up behind her shows that she is also the goddess  of war. In all of ancient mythology, no other deity is the goddess of love and war combined. The eight-pointed star (Venus) is another symbol associated with Inanna. This image is in photographic reverse. See the complete seal impression. Also see a line-drawing of the seal by S. Beaulieu.

    Although she is called the goddess of love, Inanna is really the goddess of lust. She is not associated with romance, marriage, fertility or child-bearing. She is so extreme in her emotions, so psychotic in her desires, and so relentless in getting what she wants, she thus symbolizes the violence of human passion. This is why she is also represents the destruction and carnage of war.’

    Durga is a Goddess of Power .

    As Mahalakshmi.

    I have not found the legend of Lakshmi as the daughter of Moon in any other culture excepting in Hinduism.

    Inanna’s Akkadian counterpart is Ishtar. In different traditions Inanna is the daughter of Anu or she is the daughter of the moon-god Sin.

    And like Lakshmi, Inanna has a sister,

    ‘Additionally, the myth may be described as a union of Inanna with her own “dark side”, her twin sister-self, Ereshkigal, as when she ascends it is with Ereshkigal’s powers, while Inanna is in the underworld it is Ereshkigal who apparently takes on fertility powers, and the poem ends with a line in praise, not of Inanna, but of Ereshkigal. It is in many ways a praise-poem dedicated to the more negative aspects of Inanna’s domain, symbolic of an acceptance of the necessity of death to the continuance of life.

    Lakshmi’s Elder sister is Jyesta Devi, personification of things inauspicious.

    Devadasi system in Sumeria.

    The Devadasi system, I have been thinking, was unique to India.

    But,

    ‘Along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers were many shrines and temples dedicated to Inanna. The House of Heaven (Sumerian: e2-anna; Cuneiform: 𒂍𒀭 E2.AN) temple[6] in Uruk[7] was the greatest of these, where sacred prostitution was a common practice. In addition, according to Leick 1994 persons of asexual or hermaphroditic bodies and feminine men were particularly involved in the worship and ritual practices of Inanna’s temples (see gala)’

    And Iraq, has Sanatna Dharma connection!

  • Mysterious Cave Atop Palani Bhogar Worshiped Devi

    Mysterious Cave Atop Palani Bhogar Worshiped Devi

    Palani Dhandayuthapani is our Family Deity.

    Some years back, when I went to Palani, I was asked by a stranger in the Temple the directions to visit Bhogar Shrine in the complex.

    Though I have been visiting the Palani Temple ,I never knew that there was a Shrine for Bhogar.

    I asked the Priests for directions and went to the Shrine.

    I was reciting,if I recall correctly the Durga Suktha,when the the priest at the Bhogar Shrine asked me to have a look at an Idol of  Bhuvanewari worshiped by Bhogar.

    Maragatha(Emerald) Shiva Linga, Bhuvaneswari and Dhandayuthapani.jpg
    Maragatha(Emerald) Shiva Linga, Bhuvaneswari and Dhandayuthapani worshiped by Bhogar,Palani

    He gave me the Idol in a Velvet cloth and it was very beautiful.

    I had darshan and left with no further thought on the subject.

    This was about 30 years ago.

    Though I know anything  about the Siddhas, I did not know much till recently.

    I have been, for the past few days, trying to find information on the Devi and Bhogar worship.

    Only today I have been able to get some information on this.

    It seems that there is an opening at the top of the Sivagiri(Palani), with a cavern underneath it and Bhogar is reported to have worshiped Devi there, with Pulipani as his Guard.

    Read on.

    ‘

    At the top of Palani Hill, near the holy Murugan which Bhogar had crafted from nine poisonous substances, there is an opening in the Earth; it is a hole in the ground; the mouth of a cave which lies below. Bhogar often lowered himself into the Earth, sat in the cave, accessing Life’s hidden secrets. He performed great austerities there, the magnitude of which very few in this modern age can fathom.

    There at the opening Bhogar erected a humble shrine to the Great Mother: a few yantras, a couple of five-metal icons baring the form of the Mother and her son Murugan. He worshipped a small emerald lingam there, about ten inches in height. His one and only disciple, Pulipani (perhaps the only one who truly understood the sage), kept him company at the entrance to the underground cavern on the top of Palani Hill.

    When Bhogar felt that his outer work was done, he entered the gateway of earth and stone and sat down in the darkness of the cave. Faithful Pulipani heaved a stone slab over the entrance, sealing Bhogar forever in the blackness of his earthen womb.

    For thirteen generations Pulipani’s descendants have watched over that stone slab that marks the gateway to the underground chamber. Long ago, Bhogar’s little shrine was set atop that hallowed spot, and even today, is still worshipped by the vigilant sons of the faithful Pulipani. They say that Bhogar is seated quietly in meditation even now; alone in the darkness; watching the slow passage of time.

    His breath is still. His mind is quiet, his heart unwavering; but through the dense dark matter of his earthly form stabs the vibrant & relentless flame of the Kundalini Shakti. There he waits…

  • Hayagreeva ‘City Of Gods’ In Puerta de Hayu Peru

    I have written about the Peruvian connection to Sanatana Dharma.

    The Nazca lines resemble Shiva’s Trident and Sugreeva refers to it when he directed his Vanara Sena to search for Sita in Peru.

    Now to Vishnu connection.

    Puerta de Hayu Marca doorway, Gate of the Gods found in Peru.image.jpg
    Puerta de Hayu Marca doorway, Gate of the Gods found in Peru

    ‘Huge mysterious door-like structure in the Hayu Marca mountain region of Southern Peru near Lake Titicaca,an hour drive from the city of Puno, has long been revered by local native indians as the “City of the Gods.”
    Puerta de Hayu Marka Doorway (Gate of the Gods) is regarded as the Doorway of the Heavens (Amaru Meru or Aramu Muru).

    Hayagreeva returns Vedas to Brahma.Image.jpg
    Hayagreeva returns Vedas to Brahma.

    ‘the door or the “Puerta de Hayu Marca” (Gate of the Gods) has been, at some time in the distant past, carved out of a natural rock face and in all, measures exactly 23′ in height and width, with a smaller alcove in the center at the base which measures in at just under 6’ in height.

    The native Indians of the region had a legend that spoke of “a gateway to the lands of the Gods”, and in that legend, it was said that in times long past great heroes had gone to join their gods, and passed through the gate for a glorious new life of immortality, and on rare occasions those men returned for a short time with their gods to “inspect all the lands in the kingdom” through the gate.

    Another legend tells of the time when the Spanish Conquistadors arrived in Peru and looted gold and precious stones from the Inca tribes. According to one legend presented in the book, Secret of the Andes by Brother Philip, (as channeled by author/contactee, George Hunt Williamson, “Road in the Sky” — Markawasi), one Incan priest of the Temple of the Seven Rays named Amaru Meru (Lord Meru, Aramu Muru) fled from his temple with a sacred golden disk known as “the key of the gods of the seven rays”, and hid in the mountains of Hayu Marca. He eventually came upon the doorway which was being watched by shamen priests. He showed them the key of the gods and a ritual was performed with the conclusion of a magical occurrence initiated by the golden disk which opened the portal, and according to the legend blue light did emanate from a tunnel inside. The priest Amaru Meru handed the golden disk to the shamen and then passed through the portal “never to be seen again”. Archeologists have observed a small hand sized circular depression on the right hand side of the small entranceway, and have theorized that this is where a small disk could be placed and held by the rock.

    According to some individuals who have lain their hands on the small door, a feeling of energy flowing has been commented on as well as strange experiences such as visions of stars, columns of fire, and the sounds of unusual rhythmic music. Others have said that they have perceived tunnels on the interior of the structure, although nobody as yet has found a gap that would illustrate the door opening. On the contrary the professional opinion is that there is no actual door, for the frame and the entrance-way and the back of the alcove are all carved from the same rock.

    Hinduism reference.

    In sanskrit, Haya is Horse and Vishnu Purana mentions about an form of Vishnu, which was horse-headed.
    According to puranas, Hayagreeva (Haya = Horse, Greeva = Neck) was a demon who was son of Kaśyapa Prajāpati.
    He gets a boon from the Goddess Durga that he can only be killed by another “Hayagreeva“.

    Devas (Amaras) approached Lord Vishnu to kill this demon but despite a long struggle he was also unable to kill Hayagreeva.

    Tired and drained after the battle, Vishnu proceeded to Vaikuntha to rejuvenate and meditate in padamāsana with his head supported by the upper end of his taut bow. The Devas once again approached Vishnu for help against Hayagrīva but were unable to rouse him from his meditation. The Devas asked a swarm of termites to assist in waking Vishnu by gnawing away the string of the bow upon which he was resting. However, the snapping of the bow-string produced such a resonant sound that the universe trembled, and the broken string lashed out with such force that Vishnu’s head was severed from his body.
    Goddess Durga revealed to Devas of her boon to Hayagreeva and asked them to attach the head of a horse to Vishnu so that he in the guise of “Hayagreeva” could kill his foe.
    With head of a White Horse, Vishnu was able to kill the demon.

    Another legend has it that during the creation, the demons Madhu-Kaitabha stole the Vedas from Brahma, and Vishnu then took the Hayagreeva form to recover them.
    The two bodies of Madhu and Kaitabha disintegrated into twelve pieces (two heads, two torsos, four arms and four legs). These are considered to represent the twelve seismic plates of the Earth. Yet another legend has it that during the creation, Vishnu compiled the Vedas in the Hayagreeva form.

    Ramayana Reference.

    Ramayana’s Kishkinda Kanda mentions Vanara King Sugreeva talking about crossing Pacific Ocean and landing in South America’s Peru.

    tatra tat kopajam tejaH kR^itam hayamukham mahat || 4-40-48
    asya aahuH tan mahaavegam odanam sa caraacaram |

    Translation : There exists a fantastically refulgent Fire in the form of Horse’s Face that originated from the anger of Sage Aurasa. The victuals to that Fire is said to be that highly speedy waves of the ocean, together with all of the mobile and sessile beings of the world at the close of each Era.

    Aurasa derives from the word uuru, meaning ‘thigh.‘ His mother hid him under her thigh when some kings came to kill, and that is how he got this name. Later, with vengeance this sage started to burn the world with his yogic fire, but his manes came to him to pacify and asked him to release his yogic fire in oceanic water.
    When he did so, that fire remained underwater, ready to emerge from a cavity like that of a she-horse’s mouth, from beneath the ocean from the South Pole. This fire is called vaDaba agni, orbaDaba anala , referred here as Horse’s Face. At the time of yuga anta, End of Era, that fire emerges out, and the whole creation, with all its sessile and mobile beings, becomes its fuel. This episode is detailed in aadi parva , First Canto, Maha Bharata.

    tatra vikroshataam naado bhuutaanaam saagara okasaam |
    shruuyate ca asamarthaanaam dR^iSTvaa tat vaDavaa mukham || 4-40-49

    Transaltion : There the high squealing sounds of oceanic beings dwelling undersea are audible, and although they are capable ones, they are incapacitated on feeling Fire from the Horse Mouth as such they yell.

    So, Technically, Vishnu must have subsided this demon like fire emitting in Horse shape around ‘Ring of Fire‘ and saved creation or helped Brahma in recreation and also restored Vedas from getting destroyed.

    Peruvian prophecy states that all the Americas were once united by a common spiritual tradition and leader, and that they will be again. They were anciently united as Amaru-ca or Ameru-ca, Ameri-ca, meaning the “Land of the Serpent” (Ananta Sesha forms the Ring of Fire around North & South American continents), during a time when the serpent was the universal symbol of mystical wisdom and spiritual power.
    One legend states that North and South America were named after a culture bearer known historically as Aramu Muru or A maru (serpent/wisdom) the “Serpent (wisdom master) Meru,” with connections to the mythical Mount Meru, abode of the Demi-Gods.

    Infact, Ameru is A-Meru (anti-meru or opposite of meru mountain).

    Please read my Post on Meru.

  • Sidha Kunjika Stotram Equivalent Devi Mahatmiyam

    Chandi Mantra, Devi Mahatmiyam is a powerful parayana.

     

    There is Stotra , which is recited at the beginning of Chandi Recitation.

     

    This stotram delivers powerful results which can be obtained by reciting the entire Devi Mahatmiyam.

     

    This was revealed to Parvati by Lord Shiva.

     

    Sidha Kunjika Stotra. , Unidden Song of Perfection.

     

    Shiva Uvacha:-
    1.Srunu devi pravakshyami Kunjika stotram uthamam,
    Yena matra prabhavena chandi Japa Shubho Bhaveth.

    Shiva Said,
    Oh Parvathi please hear the great prayer called Kunjika,
    By recitation of which , the recitation of Devi Mahatmya(Chandi)
    Would become more powerful/auspicious.

    2.Na kavacham, Na argali stotram , kilakam , na rahasykam,
    Na sooktham Napi dhyanam cha na nyaso na cha varchanam.

    There is no need to recite Kavacham , Argalam , Kilakam and the Rahasya thrayam,
    Nor is it necessary to recite Suktham , Dhyanam , Nyasam and also no need to worship.

    (These are preliminary stotras that need to be recited before reading of Devi Mahatmyam/Chandi/Durga Sapthasathi. Here is it told that if this kunjika stotram is recited then there is no need to recite all these)

    3.Kunjika pata mathrena Durga phalam Labheth,
    Athi Guhyataram devi, Devanam abhi durlabham.

    Just by reading Kunjika , we would get the effect of reading Chandi,
    And Oh Goddess this is a great secret and even Devas do not know it.

    4.Gopaneeyam prayathnena swayoniriva Parvathi,
    Maranam, Mohanam Vasyam Sthambho ucchadanadhikam.
    Pata Mathrena sam sidhayeth Kunjika stotram uthamam.

    Oh Parvathi , you decide about the effort to keep it as secret
    Because just by reading this great prayer on Kunjika , we can easily achieve,
    Murder , attraction , slavery , making things motionless by repeated chants,

    5.Atha Manthra:-
    Now the chant:-

    Om Aim, kleem Chamanudayai viche . Om Gloum hoom kleem joom sa,
    Jwalaya jwalaya , Jwala, Jwala , prajwala , prajwala ,
    Aim Hreem Kleem Chamundayai viche Jwala, ham sam lam ksham phat swaha.

    ( this is a Thanthric chant which consists of sounds and words which are meant to please the Goddess. “Jwalaya” means “Burn” , “Prajwala” Means “set fire.”)

    Ithi Mantra :
    This is the chant

    6.Namasthe Rudra Roopinyai , Namsthe Madhu Mardini,
    Nama Kaidabha Harinyai , Namasthe Mahishardhini
