Sankshipta gajendra moksha(bhagavatham)

Srividya Guruprasad1 Comment

It is said in the Bhagavatha that a person who remembers the story of gajEndra mOksha as soon as one wakes up in the morning, is blessed with hari smaraNe during maraNa kAla.
There is a sankshipta gajEndra mOksha which is very easy for parayane.

 Here are the 2 verses:

 The king of elephants was held at his feet by a crocodile which was of superior strength in the lake. Taking a lotus, the elephant called out to the Lord as Adi puruSha, lOka nAtha, tIrthashravaH and shravaNa maMgala nAmadhEya.

Having heard his plea, the Lord who is apramEya, with the chakra came on the shoulders of garuDa and killed the crocodile with His chakra and freed the elephant by His hands.

ತಾನಿ ತಾನಿ ವಿನಶ್ಯಂತಿ ಪ್ರದಕ್ಷಿಣ ಪದೇ ಪದೇ

yaanikaanicha paapaani janmaanthara kruthanicha
thaavithaani pranashyanthi pradakshina pade pade

Meaning:

This Sloka says that Pradakshina will distroy all sins. Pradakshinam is a way to bow down to the Aathma residing inside your physical body. By doing so all your sins are cleansed. It also helps you to be feel the presence of divine energy with in you.

Guru Raghavendra sthothram/shri poorna bodha

Srividya Guruprasad5 Comments

Raghavendra theertharu decided to enter the Brindavana in 1671 A.D.Friday and sent Appanacharya for Madhwa Sanchara away from Mantralaya. He asked Diwan Venkanna to make all the arrangements. Appanacharya somehow came to know the news and decided to go to Mantralaya. But the river Tungbhadra was flooded and overflowing. Appanacharya never worried about this. He loved Guru Ragavendra swamy so much and decided to cross Tungabadra river. As He knew Guru Ragavendra Swamy completely he started Guru stotra Sripurnabodha Guruteertha Payobdhipaara.  Tungabadra river paved the way, by the time Appanacharya reached Mantralaya the last stone of the Brindavana was placed at the Brindavana. His Stotra immediately stopped after:

YoBhaktyaGuruRaghavendraCharanaDwandam Smaran YahaPathaet
Stotram Divyamidamsada Nahi BhavaettasyaA sukhamKinchan
Kimtvishtartha Samruddhireva KamalaNatha Prasadodayaat
KeertiDigviditaVibhutiratula..

Could not speak anything more. Guru Ragavendra Swamy sitting in the`Brindavana has listened the Gurustotra fully, and completed the Stotra by saying SAAKSHIHAYASTOTRAHI from the Brindavana. At that time Rayaru was Chanting Hayagreeva Mantra, said Hayagreeva Roopi Sri Hari is the witness for all this what has been told in the Gurustotra.This shows the amount of affection Guru Ragavendra Swamy has towards Appanacharya. Appanacharya composed this Stotra Gurustotra on the day of Ragavendra Swamy brindavana pravesha. This is the unforgettable contribution of Bichchali Appanacharya to all Guru Ragavendra Swamy devotees of this Universe.

The complete sthothram as follows:

Srividya Guruprasad2 Comments

Among trees, the Aswatha is the most important. You can find aswatha tree almost in every Hindu temple

ಮೂಲತೋ ಬ್ರಹ್ಮರೂಪಾಯ ಮಧ್ಯತೋ ವಿಷ್ಣುರೂಪಿಣೇ
ಅಗ್ರತಃ ಶಿವರೂಪಾಯ ಅಶ್ವತ್ಥಾಯ ನಮೋ ನಮಃ

Moolatho brahma roopaya madhyatho visnu roopine,
Agratha Shiva roopaya, vruksha rajaya the nama.

Meaning:

Salutations to the king of trees,
Whose roots are Lord Brahma,
Whose stem is Lord Vishnu,
And whose crown is Lord Shiva.

daily tulasi pooja with slokas

Srividya Guruprasad11 Comments

Significance of Tulasi:

“Every home with a Tulasi plant is a place of pilgrimage, and no diseases, messengers of Yama, the God of Death, can enter it.”
Skandapurana Padmapurana Uttarakhanda

tulanaa naasti athaiva Tulsi (Meaning: The one which is incomparable (in its qualities) is the Tulsi)

Srimad-Bhagavatam explains the special position of the Tulasi plant:

“Although flowering plants like the mandara, kunda, kurabaka, utpala, campaka, arna, punnaga, nagakesara, bakula, lily, and parijata are full of transcendental fragrance, they are still conscious of the austerities performed by Tulasi, for Tulasi is given special preference by the Lord, who garlands Himself with Tulasi leaves.”

Tulasi is the essence of all devotional activities. The leaves, flowers, roots, bark, branches, trunk, and shade of Tulasi-devi are all spiritual.

A house where Tulasi-devi is present never falls on bad times, and it becomes purer than all holy places. The fragrance of Tulasi-devi purifies all who smell it.

One who sees or comes near a house or garden where the Tulasi plant is present gets rid of all his sinful reactions, including that of killing a brahmana.
Lord Krsna happily lives in the house, town, or forest where Tulasi-devi is present.

A recent research indicates that Tulsi reduces inflammation, prevents gastric ulcers, protects against radiation, lowers fevers, cholesterol and high blood presssure, enhances periodontal health, displays significant natural antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal activity, improves digestion and absorption of other nutrients, and even repels mosquitoes and other potentially harmful insects.

When picking Tulasi leaves, chant the following mantra:

tulasy amrta janmasi
sada tvam kesava-priya
kesavartham cinomi tvam
varada bhava sobhane

Meaning – “O Tulasi, you were born from nectar. You are always very dear to Lord Kesava. Now, in order to worship Lord Kesava, I am collecting your leaves and manjaris. Please bestow your benediction on me.”

As per our philosophy, only men are allowed to pick tulasi leaves before starting devara pooja

How to pick Tulasi leaves:

  1. Pick the leaves one at a time with your fingertips.
  2. Pick with care and attention. Avoid using cutting tools.
  3. Pick Tulasi leaves and flowers in the morning, never at night (from sunset to sunrise)
  4. Tulasi should not be plucked on dvadasi.
  5. One should pluck the leaves with the right hand, holding the branch in the left hand, being careful not to break the branches.

According to the Garuda Purana, Tulasi must always be offered on the naivedyam.

tulasi vina ya kriyate na puja
snanam na tat yat tulasi vinakrtam
bhuktam na tat yat tulasi vinakrtam
pitam na tat yat tulasi vinakrtam

Puja, bathing and offering of food and drink performed without Tulasi cannot be considered as puja, bathing and offering to the Lord. The Lord does not accept anything or drink anything that is without Tulasi.

Tulsi sloka

Meaning – I bow down to the Tulsi, at whose base are all the holy places, at whose top reside all the deities and in whose middle are all the Vedas.

Daily pooja procedure:

Perform pooja with cleaning the surface around Tulasi brindavana and draw a rangoli.
apply haldi, kumkum, mantrakshthata to Tulasi. decorate tulasi with flowers.
Perform Neivedhya and aarathi

Sloka to chant while cooking

Srividya Guruprasad3 Comments

surya narayana saarathi agali

Lakshmi narayanana neivedhyavagali
laksha janara bojanavagali
lakshmi narayana thrupthanagali

Tharathamya davalavannu

koduva namma sri hayavadhana

An idea is to write or print this sloka and stick near Gas stove. This wont take even 5 minutes to read every day. By lyrics we can understand The cooked items are given as neivedhyam to Lord sri Lakshmi Narayana. In today’s worlds nothing is pure. vegetables, fruits and all groceries are adulterated, with lot of chemicals. By chanting such slokas, I believe God will protect our body from any sort of diseases or infections that is being caused by poor quality of ingredients we are using.

In additon we can understand the Tharathamya (most important of Madhwa philosophy) Sri hari followed by Mahalakshmi(hrudayadhali nelasevarige) vaayu, Brahma, followed by saraswathy, bharathy(vaayu’s wife) followed by Garuda, sesha, rudra(siva).This hierarchy is the most important of Madhwa philosophy. One should always worship God in this hierarchy only. Hari is always supreme(Hari Sarvothama)
