Raja-Vidya-Upasana: Shree Narayana-Ashtakshara Mantra in "Shree Narasimha-Purana"...

For me this season is the season of deep immersion into Siddhanta of "Shree Vishnu-Purana", but occasionally I turn to Sanskrit-Hindi scans of other Puranas as well. 

One of the Chapters in "Shree NaraSimha-Purana" is dedicated to Shree Ashtakshara-Mantra of Bhagavan Shree Narayana. 

Below is a little synopsis of Narayana-Mantra-Siddhanta from "Shree NaraSimha-Purana". 

Shree Ashtakshara Mantra is suitable even for those, who don't have an adhikara for complex Vaidik/PanchaRatrik rites. 

The unique feature of Shree Narayana-Ashtakshara Mantra is that it causes "immediate enjoynment" ("tatkala prasanna") of Bhagavan Shree Vishnu and grants Sayujya-Mukti without any hindrances!

If you make Pujas with Shree Narayana-Ashtakshara-Mantra, then there is no need to visit Vaishnava-Tirthas or make complex Vaishnava-Yajnas, because Shree Narayana-Ashtakshara-Mantra grants

Our Adorable Shree Vidya, the treasure of Sayujya-Mukti and "Shree Subhodaya-Stuti" by Shree GaudaPada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Such a brilliant exceprt, I nearly started to dance (and nearly jumped out of the window) from joy!!!

I am reading "RudraYamalam - Uttara" this

"MOKSHA IN VISISHTADVAITA PHILOSOPHY" ~by DR. R. Parthasarathy~ #Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams# [2016]

DOWNLOAD (ENGLISH):

English annotation by Vishnudut1926: This a profound survey dedicated to Moksha from Shree Ramanuja-Siddhanta point of view. 

The Book has a splendid start, as DR. R. Parthasarathy tells about Krama-Mukti from PanchaRatrik point of view (Krama-Mukti is designated for those who follow to ordinary Bhakti-yoga, while those who resort to Prapatti, which is also known as Parama-Bhakti, obtain the immediate Moksha, not krama). 

The considerable part of the Book tells about the ideas of Moksha in Shree NammAlvar Prabandhas and Granthas of Shree Ramanuja MahAcharya ("Shree Vaikuntha-Gadya", for example). 

It is also more than brilliant that some Chapters dwell both on Tenkalai (Pillai LokAcharya) and Vadakalai (Vedanta Desika) concepts of Mukti with some Puranic references ("Shree Vishnu-Purana", "Shree Bhagavata-Purana") explored as well. 
Verdict: 10 of 10, very much recommended both for those who start to study Shree Ramanuja-Siddhanta and for those who know Shree Vishishta-Advaita Siddhanta at the very advanced level.

7 Советов от 7 Риши....

Synopsis in English: my new Russian article dwelling on Shree Dhruva-Leela from "Shree Vishnu-Purana" and its comparison with the same leela from "Shree Bhagavata-Purana". 

По сравнению с "Шримад-Бхагаватам" Дхрува-Лила из "Шри Вишну-Пураны" отрисована несколько по другому сценарию.

В "Шримад-Бхагаватам" в Шри Васудева-Мантру Дхруву посвящает Нарада-Муни, но в "Шри Вишну-Пуране" Дхрува Махарадж встречается с 7 Риши, которые рассказывают ему о поклонении Господу Шри Вишну.

С лингвистической точки зрения

Кришна не отталкивает даже женщин и шудр, Мукти через простое Бхакти, противоречия в "Бхагавад-Гите"...

Synopsis in English: my new Russian article about "Shree Rukminisha-Vijaya" and Vadiraja Tirtha Tikas regarding Mukti for women (please see Sanskrit-English screenshots at the very end of this post). 

Небольшой шероховатый, но Сиддхантичный быстропост с утра, потому что если я не напишу сейчас, то заметки потом потеряются в моих огромных цифровых архивах!

Вишнёныш снова бесчинствует, начинаем Новый Год, зимние jrpg, переход на plurk....

Synopsis in English: Winter had approached Moscow and I am telling about my winter lifestyle. This season I am totally mad about masterpiece Hindi-translation of "Shree Vishnu-Purana" by Shraddha Shukla,  riding cruiser Schwinn under Moscow snow, playing some retro jprg-s for magic winter mood and etc. 

На улице творится нечто волшебное, девчонки! Очень романтичная метель, напоминающая о Новом Годе. 

Я только что 2 часа каталась под колыбельные снежинок и метели на круизере по парку (в мощном синем пуховике) - это было нечто!

Я уже в прошлых годах писала, что Новый Год мы с Вишнёнышем начинаем

Dwadasha-Akshara-Mantra...

Such a brilliant Dwadasha-Akshara-Mantra Praman from "Shree Vishnu-Purana"!!! 

I am reading Hindi translation of "Shree Vishnu-Purana" this season. Translation had been made by Shraddha Shukla and it is incredible, one of the best Puranik translation I have ever read:

"THE SRI KRSNA TEMPLE AT UDUPI" ~by B.N. Nebbar~ #Bharatiya Granth Niketan# [2005]

=====================
DOWNLOAD (old scan, 76MB, without OCR):

English annotation by Vishnudut1926: I have fallen in love with this brilliant survey, dedicated to Shree Madhwa-Sampradaya history and current state of affairs.

For me personally the main highlight of the Book is the part describing Sannyasa-system of Shree Madhwa-Sampradaya (page 154 and further). 

This Book can be divided in 2 parts:

Part 1 (the historical one) dwells on the history of Shree Madhwa-Sampradaya, biographies of Shree AnandaTirtha MahAcharya, Shree Vadiraja Tirtha and other Acharyas of Shree Madhwa-Sampradaya. 

Part 2 tells about the contemporary routine in Shree Madhwa-Mandiras. 2nd part is more than brilliant, because it is NOT somewhat "bookish" musings over abstractions, but the very enlivened part, based on real life interviews and observations. 

So, the Book is very much recommended, especially for those ones who are fond of Agamic/Tantrik Heritage of Vaishnava Sampradayas.

By the way, B.N. Nebbar also makes a lot of valuable notes, for example, he writes the following about Tantric/Agamic sources of Shree Madhwa-Sampradaya (p.216):
"Besides "The Tantrasara" of Madhva, other works which have focused in on the Madhva ritual method, drawing upon the Tantrasara of course are:

"Sannyasapaddhiti" of Vishnu Tirtha, "Yogadipika" of Narayana Pejattaya, "Padymala" of Jayatirtha, "Smrtimukatavali" of Krishnacarya and "Karmasiddhanta" of Purusottama Tirtha (the 17th pontiff of the Gokarna-Partagali Matha of the Gauda-Sarasvata Madhvas)".

Встреча 3 Шрингара-Бхав: Шри ВенгаМамба, Андал и Мира Баи...

Synopsis in English: my new Russian article about Tarigonda VengaMamba and comparison of Shree VengaMamba with Shreemati Andal-Devi and Meera Bai!

Вслед за английской книгой про Вайшнавскую Святую Шри ВенгаМамбу (#ссылка на скан#) я пообещала написать пост на русском и вот он, девчонки!

Шри ВенгаМамба вообще не известна в России, зато очень популярна в Телугу-регионах Индии, поэтому Её часто называют "Телугу МираБаи".

В этой статье я буду рассказывать сразу о

"MatruSri Tarigonda VengaMamba" by K. Hanumanthu, 2008

DOWNLOAD (ENGLISH):

English annotation by Vishnudut1926: This is a biography of Matrusri Tarigonda Vengamamba. Tarigonda Vengamamba is also known as "Telugu Meera Bai".

The childhood Leela of Tarigonda Vengamamba repeats childhood Leela of Shreemati Andal-Devi, as being a girl Tarigonda Vengamamba vowed that she would never accept anybody except Bhagavan Shree VenkatEshwara (BalaJi) as Her Husband.

Actually the Book does not have a lot of information regarding Madhurya-Rasa (Shringara-Rasa) towards Bhagavan Shree VenkatEshwara, nevertheless it is a good book for those who are interested in Madhurya-Rasa towards Bhagavan Shree Vishnu and stories about Vaishnavite Women Saints. 

And speaking about Madhurya-Rasa towards Bhagavan Shree Narayana nothing can be compared with Brilliant Granthas by Shreemati Andal-Devi (Goda Devi), especially with "NACHIYAR THIRUMOZHI" ("Sacred Sayings devoted to Madhurya-Rasa towards Bhagavan Shree Vishnu").

So if you are really interested in Madhurya-Rasa towards Bhagavan Shree Narayana, please study the brilliant heritage of Shreemati Andal-Devi.

The best English translation of "Nachiyar thirumozhi" up to now is SADAGOPAN's edition, it can be found at their site - http://www.sadagopan.org/index.php/component/djcatalog2/item?id=94:nachiyar-thirumozhi&cid=1:sundarasimham#.WduI4Wi0PDc

And English translation by P.S. Sundaram also exists, it can be downloaded from Tirumala Tirupati E-Library - http://ebooks.tirumala.org/Product/?ID=1976

"Shree Devi-Rahasyam" and "Shree AhirBudhnya-Samhita"...


I am reading Hindi edition of "Shree Devi-Rahasyam" (translation by Shri KapilaDeva Narayana) this brilliant sunny morning!  

This edition contains the list of earlier published Granthas and I have noticed that "Shree AhirBudhnya-Samhita" had been translated into Hindi by Sudhakar Malaviya. Truly amazing news for me, I have added this 2-Volumes edition in my purchase list, as I have been dreaming of the suchlike edition for several years in a row!

"Shree Devi-Rahasyam" translated by Shri KapilaDeva Narayana is from "Shree Rudra-Yamala" and this Shakti-Rahasya also contains Mantras of Shreemati Lakshmi-Devi as well as Vaishnava Upasanas. 

Shri KapilaDeva Narayana writes the following about Panchanga-Upasana in Bhumika:

केवल स्वविकल्प से कल्पित...


केवल स्वविकल्प से कल्पित - one of the best expressions for the description of tamasika Tantras/Agamas!!!!!!!!! 

The expression is cited in "Pancharatra Agama" by Raghava Prasad Chowdhary, but the expression itself is from "Shree Ishwara-Samhita". 

Raghava Prasad Chowdhary refers to

as the source. 

As for the Sattvika Tantras/Agamas  Raghava Prasad Chowdhary mentions "Shree Vishnu-Vaibhavika-Samhita" - one of the most beautiful Samhitas' Name in all PanchaRatrik Sahitya! 

The full list of Sattvika Samhitas:
