  • Vishnu Attempts Suicide First Vamana Avatar

    Sage Kasyapa had a wife Dhanu.

     

    They had a son named Dundhu.

     

    Vamana Avatar of Vishnu

     

    Dundhu was granted the boon of  remaining Deathless by Indra, who was happy with Dundhu’s penance.

     

    Dhundhu attacked Indra to capture Indra Loka and Indra, along with the Devas ,rushed to Brahma Loka, the Abode of Brahma.

     

    On being advised that he needed the help of Sukracharya, the Asura Guru, Dundhu obtained Sukracharya’s help.

     

    Sukracharya advised Dhundu to perform 100 Aswamedha Yagas.

     

    Dhundhu started performing the Yaga.

     

    Scared Devas, catching the whiff of the Homa Smoke, rushed to Vishnu seeking  refuge in Him.

     

    Vishnu in took the form of  Vamana (Midget) and pretended to commit suicide near the place where the Yaga was being conducted.

     

    The Brahmins who were conducting the Yaga,  saved the Brahmin boy Vamana  and asked him the reason for his attempted suicide.

     

    Vamana(Vishnu) told them that he was the second son of Prabasa.

     

    After the death of Prabasa, Vamana added that his brother Nethrabasa refused to give him  his share of the property saying that Midgets,Physically disabled and Eunuchs were not  entitled to property Rights.

     

    So , Vamana said that he wanted to commit suicide.

     

    The Brahmins requested Dhundu to provide help to Vamana.

     

    Dhundu informed Vamana that he would give whatever Vamana wanted.

     

    Vamana replied that he was not greedy and wanted only land equivalent to his three steps.

     

    Dhundu agreed.

     

    Vamana grew in size, measured the Earthh with one step, Heavens by the second.

     

    Angered that he did not have a place to place his third step, he fell on Dhundu .

     

    Unable to bear Vamana’s weight, Dhundu fell on the ground and Vishnu buried him in the sand and built a Grave.

     

    This, Vamana Purana , declares is the First Vamana Avatara.

  • Mental Tension Relief Mantra Mrita Sanjivini Mantra

    We hear the words ‘Stress,Mental Tension’ often these days.

     

    People are overtly concerned about this issue.

     

    I am of the opinion that this is an unwanted concept imported from the west and is being used daily by every one to such an extent ,I have recently

     

    found out that even a five-year old was saying that he is under tension.

     

    My view is that it is a part of the body mechanism to survive and one need not be concerned about this.

     

    On its own this stress or tension is productive if you do not dwell on it.

     

    Start analyzing it you become miserable.

     

     

    This is a mental condition reinforced by constantly thinking about it.

     

    This process harms your physical and mental health and may even shorten your Life.

     

    Ignore it, proceed with what you have been doing and enjoying.

     

    This needs Practice and mental toughness.

     

    However there are mantras for this in Hinduism .

     

    Mruyunjaya Yantra.Image.jpg
    Mruyunjaya Yantra.

     

    Though this Mantra is not specifically meant for this, it is very powerful.

     

    The Mantra brings in Peace, relieves Stress and prevents untimely death.

     

    It also brings in wealth and power.

     

    This Mantra was initially known only to Sukracharya, the Asura Guru.

     

    The Devas got it by subterfuge from him by using Kacha, the son of his arch rival and Deva Guru, Bruhaspati .

     

    This mantra was used to raise the Dead.

     

    This was used by Sage Agastya to wake up Laksmana when he was struck with Mohasnastra by Inderjith in the Ramayana.

     

    Mohanastra creates mental confusion and makes one lose Consciousness.

     

    The physical Herb equivalent to this Mantra is Sanjivni, which Lord Anjaneya brought to revive Lakshmana.

     

    For relief from Stress mental tension, Confusion and for better Health chant this mantra 108 times a day for 45 days.

     

    For Self Realization, chant this Mantra  One lakh(100000) times spread over 45 days.The

  • Why No Navagraha In Vishnu Temples Moola Mantras

    Navagrahas ,The Nine Planets of Hinduism play a vital part in a Hindu’s Life.

    As soon as a child is born, the time and place of birth  is noted.

    After the first birthday , the horoscope is cast.

    At every stage the horoscope is consulted and  suitable course action is taken by the individual.

    Horoscopes of the Boy and Girl are matched before getting them married.

    There is an essential difference between the Shiva and Vishnu Temples in Tamil Nadu.

    The Vishnu Temples do not have Navagraha Sannidhis or Enclosure.

    In Shiva Temples separate Sannidhis are provided.

    ( Sannidhi means ‘being present)

    However three are exceptions where Navagrahas are provided with Sannidhis in Vishnu Temples, where local legends have a say.

    The Vaishnavism  believes that since on surrenders before the Supreme God, Vishnu, there is no necessity of any special attention to the Navagrahas.

    Saivites takea practcal approach by saying that even if you know the CE)/MD of an Organisation, lower staff do matter.

    Hence Sannidhis for Navagrahas.

    Moon is taken as a Planet.

    On the effect of Navgrahas.

    Navagrahas, on their own,can not harm any one.

    They are like Traffic Signals which inform you of things lying ahead and the suggested course.

    They indicate the effects of your actions.

    Not prevent it.

    God can grant you the power to withstand the malicious effects,can not change them

    The reason for performing the Parihara, Atonement, is nothing but a Prayer to the God/Navagrahas to grant you Fortitude.

    Though I believe in the accuracy of Indian Astrology which is more of scientific Astronomy, I do not bother about the Planets.

    My conviction is my faith in Goddess Abirami, who, I trust implicitly, would take care of me.

    An till date , she has.

    Astrology depends on accurate Time,to 60 divisions of a second.

    And I do not think we have such perfect time sense.

    The Astrologer whom we consult may not be well versed, or may not speak the Truth for his/her own reasons,
