  • Narada Mountain In Russia Urals Narodnaya

    I had posted earlier that the Rig Veda was compiled in the Arctic,There was a Kingdom of Women in Russia and Tripura, destroyed by Lord Shiva was in Russia.

     

    Now evidence has surfaced that

    “Twenty of the spiral-shaped settlements, believed to be the original home of the Aryan people, have been identified, and there are about 50 more suspected sites. They all lie buried in a region more than 640km long near Russia’s border with Kazakhstan. The cities are thought to have been built 3500-4000 years ago, soon after the Great Pyramid in Egypt. They are about the same size as several of the city states of ancient Greece, which started to come into being in Crete at about the same time.

    The shape of each of the cities, which are mainly in the Chelyabinsk district, resembles an ammonite fossil, divided into segments with a spiral street plan. The settlements, which would each have housed about 2000 people — the same as an ancient Greek city such as Mycenae — are all surrounded by a ditch and have a square in the middle.

    The first city, known as Arkaim, was discovered in 1989, soon after the soviet authorities allowed non-military aerial photography for the first time.

    The Russians knew about these settlements for about 20 years.

    This information was revealed by historian Bettany Hughes on the BBC program “Tracking the Aryans”.

    And there is a Mountain named after the Hindu Sage, Narada.

    According to Bulgarian linguist Vladimir Georgiev, geographical names are the most important source for determining how a group of people acquire their ethnicity. This can originate through a process of self-identification or it could be the result of outside identification.

    Georgiev says the most stable – or longstanding – names are that of rivers. “But in order to preserve the names it is necessary to maintain the continuity of the population, transmitting these names from generation to generation. Otherwise, new people may come and give it their own name,” he says.

    Georgiev illustrates that in 1927 a detachment of geologists “discovered” the highest mountain in the Urals. The mountain was called Narada by the local population, and interestingly the ancient Indian epics describe the great sage Narada as living in the north. But since it was the 10thanniversary of the October Revolution, the geologists decided to mark the event and rename the mountain as Narodnoy – or People. And that’s what it is now called in all geographic references and on all maps.”

    In the meanwhile I read a Book where the author, a Scholar in Sanskrit, Tatyana Elizarenkova in her Book ‘Language and Style of the Vedic Rsis’ states that the Rig Veda was written in Russia!

    This is based on the language construction, Grammar and the affinity between Sanskrit and Russian.

    Based on a Study of Indo-European Languages and cross checking with other scholars of the West who knew Sanskrit she seemed to have arrived at the conclusion.” Rig Veda composed in Russia

  • How To Wear Vaishnava Mark Vasudeva Upanishad

    Vasudeva Upanishad from the Sama Veda is unique in that it explains the meaning of Vaishnavism caste mark and details as to how to wear it.

     

    Please read my post on Vibuthi and Thiruman.

    Vasudeva Upanishad
    Translated by P. R. Ramachander
    Published by celextel.org

    Om ! Let my limbs and speech, Prana, eyes, ears, vitality
    And all the senses grow in strength.
    All existence is the Brahman of the Upanishads.
    May I never deny Brahman, nor Brahman deny me.
    Let there be no denial at all:
    Let there be no denial at least from me.
    May the virtues that are proclaimed in the Upanishads be in me,
    Who am devoted to the Atman; may they reside in me.
    Om ! Let there be Peace in me !
    Let there be Peace in my environment !
    Let there be Peace in the forces that act on me !

    Om. The God like sage Narada saluted Lord Vasudeva and requested him, “Oh God, please teach me the rules of Urdhva Pundra (the religious mark of Vaishnavas which is vertical and points upward)”. 1

    God Vasudeva addressing him told as follows:

    The Brahmachari (unmarried student of Vedas) and Grahastha (householder) after reciting the following prayer: “Oh God who holds the wheel, mace and conch, Oh Achyutha who is staying in Dwaraka, Oh Govinda, Oh Lotus eyed one,
    please protect me, who has surrendered to you.” should apply Urdhva Pundra in his forehead and other 12 places with his pure finger (finger next to the little finger) reciting either the Vishnu Gayathri or the 12 names of the Lord viz., Kesava, Narayana, Madhava, Govinda, Vishnu, Madhusudana, Trivikrama, Vamana, Sreedhara, Hrishikesa, Padmanabha and Damodhara. 2

    The Sanyasi should wear the Urdhva Pundra with his fourth finger on the head, forehead and chest chanting the Pranava (Om). 3

    Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are three in number: Sthoola (macro), Sookshma (micro) and Karana (cause); are three worlds above: Bhoo, Bhuva and Suva; are three Vedas: Rig, Yajur and Sama; are three states: waking up, dream and sleep. The Urdhva Pundras are three viz., Aa, Uu and Ma. These Urdhva Pundras are full of Pranava and full of the letter Om. That one pranava has only become any. The Lord of the ‘Om’ takes you above. So you have to wear Urdhva Pundra. 4

    That sage who wears four things upward viz., stick, bravery, yoga and Urdhva Pundra would reach the high status of salvation. This stable knowledge would reach me naturally through devotion. 5

    Om ! Let my limbs and speech, Prana, eyes, ears, vitality
    And all the senses grow in strength.
    All existence is the Brahman of the Upanishads.
    May I never deny Brahman, nor Brahman deny me.
    Let there be no denial at all:
    Let there be no denial at least from me.
    May the virtues that are proclaimed in the Upanishads be in me,
    Who am devoted to the Atman; may they reside in me.
    Om ! Let there be Peace in me !
    Let there be Peace in my environment !
    Let there be Peace in the forces that act on me !

    Here ends the Vasudevopanishad, included in the Sama-Veda.

  • Krishna Had 16000 Wives How Why

    It is often held against Hinduism in general and Lord Krishna in particular that He had 16 000 wives.

    People whom I had met often had no idea about this and stated Lord Krishna had 16000 wives and he spent time with them merrily, without being aware of the Facts.

    Yes,Lord Krishna had 16 000 wives.

    Some Purans say 16,100.

    He rescued these women from Narakasura, who was his son through Bhu Devi in His earlier Avatar as Varaha.

    It is worthy of note that Lord Krishna had ‘divided Himself into 16000/100 and been with them.

    This is an indication that it was not actually physical but Mystical and spiritual.

    Lod Krishna had 16000 wives
    Krishna and 16000 wives

    Another point is that Lord Krishna did not any Children through these Junior wives.

    It is a part of ancient warfare to confiscate,the cattle before invasion and capture the women of the enemy after the war.

    generally these women were returned tot he Vanquished after the War was over.

    In this case, as Narakasura died, It is to convey Lord Krishna took care these women and as they were devoted to Him as God spent time with them.

    Nothing more can be read into this.

    ”

    Narakasura was the king of Pragjyotisha, identified with present-day Assam. He was the demon (asura) son of Vishnu’s boar avatar Varaha and the earth-goddess Bhumi (Prithvi). As the son of Bhumi, he was also called Bhauma or Bhaumasura (asura suffix appended). He conquered the three worlds: heaven, earth and underworld. On earth, he captured 16,000 princesses of defeated nations. In heaven, he stole the earrings of Aditi, mother of Indra – the king of gods and heaven. In the underworld, he seized the imperial umbrella of Varuna, the god of the waters.[10][1]

     

    The captive women were imprisoned at Audaka on the top of the mountain Maniparvata in his kingdom. Various demons including the five-headed Mura and his seven sons guarded the kingdom’s gates. Narakasura’s ten sons guarded the women.[10][1]

    Indra comes to Dwarka, Krishna’s capital and pleads with him to save the universe from Narakasura’s tyranny. Krishna and his second wife Satyabhama fly on their mount the eagle-man Garuda to Pragjyotisha. Krishna slays Mura, his sons, Narakasura’s army and finally the demon-king himself. Bhumi surrenders all stolen items, including the captive women to Krishna. When Krishna arrives in the palace of the captive women, each of them prays to Krishna to accept her as his wife. Krishna complies and sends them to his capital with Narakasura’s plunder and four-tusked white elephants gifted by Bhumi. After returning Aditi’s earrings to Indra in heaven, Krishna returns to Dwarka and marries the rescued women, making them his junior wives, saving them from “destitution and infamy…

    The Bhagavata Purana captures the life of Krishna’s wives after their marriage. Each of the junior wives was given a home, with hundreds of maid-servants. Krishna divides himself into several forms, one for each wife and spends the night with each wife simultaneously. In the morning, all his forms unite into one body of Krishna when Krishna works as the king of Dwarka. Each wife serves Krishna personally, worshipping him, bathing him, dressing him, fanning him, presenting him with gifts and flower garlands etc.[1]

     

    In another story narrated in the Bhagavata Purana, Narada, Vishnu’s devotee and wandering sage, was curious to find out how Krishna was managing to live with his 16,000 wives and came to Dwarka to check. Krishna welcomed Narada with all the honours due to a sage. Narada then visited every one of the houses of Krishna’s 16,000 wives and was surprised to see Krishna present in every house with his wife in an atmosphere of total domesticity, laughing and joking with his wife and taking care of his children, and helping his wife in house hold chores. Watching this phenomenon, Narada was convinced that it was divinity in the form of Krishna, a complete and manifold manifestation who had enjoyed the company of his 16,000 consorts at the same time. He also concluded that Krishna was monogamist and divine supreme being. Having satisfied himself of the divine powers of the Lord Himself, Narada embarked on his usual voyages around the world singing the praise of Krishna.[12] A variant tells that the mischief-maker sage Narada requested Krishna to gift him one of his many wives, as he was a bachelor. Krishna told him to win any wife for himself, if he was not with her. Then Narada went round to each of the houses of Krishna’s 16,008 wives but found Krishna in every house that he visited, and thus Narada had to remain a bachelor.[13]

     

    In the Bhagavata Purana, Rohini and Krishna are described to have unspecified number of sons, out of which only Diptiman and Tamratapta are named. The sons are said to represent all the children of the junior wives.[14]

     

    The Bhavishya Purana, the Skanda Purana and the Varaha Purana narrate that some of Krishna’s junior wives were infatuated with Samba, the handsome, trouble-maker son of Krishna and one of his senior queens, Jambavati. One wife Nandini disguised herself as Samba’s wife and embraced him. For this incest, Krishna cursed Samba to be inflicted with leprosy and his wives to be kidnapped by Abhira robbers after his death.[10][11]

    The Bhagavata Purana records the wailing of Krishna’s queens and their subsequent leap in Krishna’s funeral pyre immolating themselves (see sati).[15] The Mausala Parva book of theMahabharata which describes the death of Krishna and end of his race records only four of Krishna’s wives, including Rohini, committing sati. Dwarka submerges in the ocean and the rest of its inhabitants including Krishna’s widows accompany Krishna’s friend Arjuna to his capital Hastinapur. On the way, Abhira robbers attack the entourage and plunder their wealth and kidnap some of Krishna’s widows. Some of the widows burn themselves alive. When the entourage reaches Hastinapur, all other widows retire to the forest for austerities (tapas).
