Optimism - Bhagavat Dweetiya Skanda

By Sri Chiraan 2009/07/21

• One who has [shadbal poorna] Venus in the fourth house is ever optimistic and happy all through his life. 

Optimistic attitude is must in this world. One must be optimistic about one’s fate. One must be optimistic about Lord’s Grace onto us. One must be optimistic about achieving the desired through the efforts and grace of Lord and Guru even in the most challenging situation.

Taking even the most negative incident in one’s life as a an opportunity given by God to betterment is the highest form of Optimism. And yet again blessing those [who were responsible for such hardships] for having provided this opportunity, and being indebted to them is again an extreme Vairagya. [coupled with Optimism] 

Maharaja Parikshit exhibited these qualities when cursed by the Rishikumar Sringi to die within seven days. Maharaja did not go into a gloom or despondency at the fast approaching certain Death. But Instead called for a great gathering of the wise to advice him to achieve what a best can be achieved in seven days.

Shuka Muni Arrives there and King Asks Him whether is there anything that can be achieved great in Seven DAYS.. As He has a certain Death awaiting Him in seven days .

Shuka muni explains [Bhagavat Dweetiya Skanda Prathamo Adhyaya Shloka 13]

khatvango nama rajarshir

jnatveyattam ihayushah

muhurtat sarvam utsrijya

gatavan abhayam harim

There is one Solution for all the problems of the world that a man may face, that is the Knowing the Glories of Lord Srikrishna the Supreme .

[Note: When someone suggest say Chant These names, listen to Bhagavat etc, an immediate question arises of what use will it be? Then it has to be explained look such and such person had done so and he achieved this result. Immediately second question arises, will I reap similar results? Yes be optimistic and give it a try! This is what, a background, Shuka muni is creating for the Phalashruti of Bhagavat from above verses]

Bhagavat is the Full of Glories of Lord Krishna. But Parikshit wants to Know whether seven days are enough ?

Shuka says there was once a King called Khatvanga, when this rajarishi enquired devatas as to how much longevity was leftover, Devatas said only a muhurtha .

[Note: one muhurtha is two ghati. One ghati is 24 minutes and hence Muhurtha is 48 minutes.]

Khatvanga raja after ascertaining his life would end after 48 minutes, immediately withdrew his senses from all the material enjoyments of life. And attaining unattached mental state to all his belongings and being completely engrossed in the Glories of Lord achieved Moksha.

Shukamuni says ‘Oh King Parikshit if Moksha has been achieved in one muhurtha 48minutes by king Khatvanga, then by that measure you have complete seven days. Each day has 30 muhurtha and you have 210 muhurthas at your disposal.

In this world no one can guarantee whether he will get up alive next day morning to see the rising SUN and his family. [that means death can strike any moment, it is always uncertain] But Fortunate are You ‘Oh Parikshit that RISHI Sringi has cursed you to DIE after seven days. He has ensured that you would LIVE Definitely for next seven days. King Parikshit is indebted to RISHI kumar for having cursed him and the recourse [optimistic] that King took over next seven days of Listening to SRIMADBHAGAVATA MAHAPURANA, definitely gave him Moksha .

The fate of astrologer post prediction

By Sri Chiraan 2009/07/16

Once a Yavan King tried to test an astrologer. He asked astrologer to predict from which of the four doors he would leave that day. He asked astrologer to write it in a paper. Astrologer wrote in a piece of paper and it was sealed in an envelop. Yavan King drilled a hole in the eastern wall and went out that day. 

Next day the durbar was called. The envelope was opened, it was written king will leave by a hole in the eastern wall and not by the doors. King was very upset because he wanted to have a last laugh and a dig at astrology, but failed and himself became a laughing object.

He ordered astrologer to be thrown away from the top of the terrace of fort. The soldiers threw him down, but Astrologer survived by falling on a heap of gunny bags below. He was brought back alive to the court, King asked whether he had foreseen this event. Astrologer took a pocket diary out and showed a scribbling today I will be thrown from the height, but would survive by the grace of GOD.

How can one predict the future of self while giving predictions ? Incidentally one must never predict if the questionnaire wants to test.

Addition of lagna chandra and gulika sphuta gives Trisphuta. Similarly one can find Pranasphuta, Dehasphuta, and Mrityusphuta.

Adding these three will give Sukshma Trisphuta. If gulika occupies this Longitude then Astrologer will be in trouble.

StreePrashansha - By Varahmihir

By Sri Chiraan 2009/07/12

One born in Revati star is always conquered by Woman. 

Woman is the essence of happiness that a man craves for.

A king [even any man] even if he wins entire earth his capital is the essence.

Even inside his capital his palace is the essence.

Inside the palace his residential room is the essence.

Inside the room the royal cot is the essence.

On the cot the well bejewelled Woman is the only essence.

Woman decorates a jewel and its not jewels that ornate the woman. Because even without jewels woman can steal the mind or attract attention, but jewels don't attract attention without being on woman.

A soldier, leaving all emotions of happiness, fear, excitement etc fights with the enemies to win them, a trader spends days and nights into millions of business schedules, ministers spend sleepless nights with strategies and policies in all these stressful eventuality the only happiness they expect is the embrace of woman.

In the entire creation Bramha has not created any other thing [except woman] whereby its thought can ignite happiness.

And only for a women people follow dharma and achieve artha.

Woman gives happiness of senses and happiness of progeny.

Thus woman is grahaLakshmi and thus deserves respect and honour of one and all.

Only evil finds fault with woman.

None of the defects in woman are those that are not present in man. First man errs and then woman i.e. woman have learnt to err only from men. But men cleverly prempts it onto woman and woman accepts because she has more qualities. so says Manu.

Moon has given chastity to woman, gandharvas have bestowed sweetness and cultured words, Agni has bestowed all consuming quality to women thus women are golden. [wrt pursuit]

Bramhin is revered at feet, cow by the rear, horse by the mouth, but Woman is revered all over. [i.e. all her parts are revered]

There is no other thing in this world as pure as woman, they regain purity every cycle of menstruation. [destroying all their sins through 3 days of rajodarshan]

When woman in rage curses a house [due to lack of respect] that house gets destroyed just like the one engulfed by the spell from all over four sides.

Mankind arises from woman, he takes birth from a Mother and and is reborn [his part] from a his wife as son. Thus one who dishonours ‘JAYA /Janitri’ cannot prosper.

One who pollutes woman can only get pure [relieved from sin] if he wears a donkey skin inside out and begs in the street for six months clad in it.

Man never exhausts his sexual cravings even after 100 years, but gives it up only account of his inability [physical due to old age], but woman gives up sexual wants with courage.

Thus one who taunts woman to shun her is akin to a man shouting at the thief to stop. [after stealing]

The man praises woman only in the moment of passion before her and perhaps may not praise her in her absence, but woman embraces a the dead body of her husband and happily enters pyre.

The man who has the happiness of beautiful woman, even if he is in poverty is equivalent to King. Because Kingdom has its essence in food and women and rest of the enjoyments are all like sticks that ignite fire of thirst. [mirage]

Nowhere in entire creation the enjoyments [asexual] can be compared to the happiness obtained from embrace of woman of beauty, slow in movement, soft, tender, making a strained voice, heavy upright bosoms, full of youth. The other asexual happiness of sweet songs of gandharvas, kinnara, [nartakas gitagya vadgya], or wise words of devatas muni sidhdhas charana etc are all available in bramha loka, but cannot be better than a moment of isolation and union with a beautiful woman.

Everyone from Bramha to a insect and entire creation is tied in the union of stree and purush. What’s shame in it? Even Mahadev ran towards the Mohini, continuously wetting the earth with all his heads concentrated on her.

Only Narayana is beautiful. Kapila is the most austere form of Narayana, when Kapila was in penance, all the apsaras tried to test their beauty by distracting him, when after many such attempts, the annoyed rishi created Urvashi from his thighs. Urvashi was so beautiful that all the apsaras felt ashamed of themselves, after seeing her and fell at the feet of Lord for having brought them to senses. God himself is responsible for all their beauty and hence they need not test it before him. They realised only a most beautiful being NARAYANA can give rise to other beauty.

Success in Prediction - Significance of Aarudh

By Sri Chiraan 2009/07/09

Most of the clocks are inaccurate, not tuned to the IST [or local mean time]. Perhaps people are not so serious about the accuracy. Or shall we say we do not have yet smart clocks who auto update themselves with IST [GMT or LMT]. 

This being the case, when the time is 10:45:46, most hospital may be showing, 10:40 :21 or 10:48:52 or may be 11:00:04 also.

Yet all of them think they are right [fuzziness of the time sense]. When a child birth occurs seldom do doctors or parents give a serious thought about tuning their watches. When tuned they will certainly have to adjust their clocks by pretty 4-5 minutes.

There are 12 rashis. Each rashi is 30 deg. Each deg has 60 secs. 

Thus total gunanphal K = 12 X 30 X 60 =21600.

Incidentally a man in his entire day takes only 21600 breathes. [Shwas]

In hamsa mantra Japopasamhara it is written thus: 

"purvedyu: pratah suryodayadarabhya aadya pratah suryodyaparyantam madhridistithena mukhyapran kruten shatshathadhikyaekvimshatsahasrasankhyak [21600] shwasroop hamsa mahamantra japen tatha mukhyapranpreriten mayakruten dash hamsa mahamantra japen bhagvan mukhyapran pati: hamsarupi lakshminarayan : priyataam"

In a rashi shashtyamasa is also 60th part of the rashi. The time taken to change one rashi in shashtiamsha is 2 minutes. So a horoscope changes every two minutes.

Thus when the time is off track by 4-5 minutes then the predictions change drastically. [shashtiamsa chart is totally unreliable in this case] rest of the chart may differ accordingly.

The moment of the person at any given crucial time is governed by Shashtiamsha and according to vimsopaka this divison enjoys more strength and importance than Rashi. [vimsopak of 5 i.e. a strength contribution of 5 out of total twenty 20]. That means a planet ill placed in shashtiamsha never gives good results.

As there 21600 shastiamshsa operating in a day in a human life. Every moment he faces is his private moment and completely influences his existence for that moment.

i.e. A moment of danger, that moment is very crucial for a life irrespective of whether the person is KING or a beggar that moment both are equally vulnerable. This inner moment of vulnerability is governed by Shashtiamsha.

When a person temporarily loses his cool [his actual characteristic vanishes and he may become inhuman for a minute. Perhaps may regain his cool and become normal. Such behaviours may be unexplained when a very good man suddenly behaves in a sinful manner for a short moment of time.

How does this happen. The shashtiamsha are elaborated as 1 rakshas amsha, kubera amsha, yaksha amsha, gandharva, heramba etc; when these are operative man is possessed by such deities /demons to carry out such activity. Woman on silver screen dazzle and look heavenly due to presence of gandharva amsha, when met at other times may look normal and disappointing. When in yaksha amsha some people may give extraordinary performances on stage, and yet in interviews they may seem to squeak with their voice when told to sing without microphone and accompanying orchestra.

However this shasti amsha changes when there is defect of 2 minutes in birth chart, which usually every hospital may carry as a result of approximate clocks.

Next let us assume moon’s degree at 3 18′ in cancer

Moon travels 200 ‘ in 360 min. So when there is difference of 4 minutes in clock then 200/90 = 2 ‘ 02′; then moons degrees will have a difference of 2’; Then the number of days for which the prediction goes off track is 5 X 360/100 = 18 days. Approx. So a dasha system of 18 days difference is carried out by the calculation of astrologer. Thus astrologer will never be able to identify the events of importance like marriage or loss of job etc.

If someone has just lost the job after a beautiful stint astrologer would still be giving better results to the native.

Thus in absence of accurate time, predictions will never be successful. In such situations AARUDHA is the best tool to decipher the events. Aarudh is the piece of gold laid out by non astrologers over a rashi chakra or the direction in which querist is sitting, this determines the exact nature of the query and its result. Aarudh gives the result accurately .

Once on the banks of river Sarswati, all the rishis had gathered to perform satra yaga. The saptarishis were presiding. Just then rishis Narad came by and asked, all the humans are engaged in doing yaga japa etc, but who is actually receiving them in heavens, have they ever inspected this. Is it not right to inspect and find whether the Deities are capable/worthy of receiving these offerings and giving them fruits.

If it is truth then who is the supreme deity that receives these offerings and should be prayed to.

Kashyap then deputed Bhrigu muni to inspect and sent him to heavens. Sage Bhrigu went to Maharloka, and Shiva was busy with Parvati in ekanta and did not bother to welcome Bhrigu . Bhrigu cursed him that henceforth none should worship Shiva in his idol form but instead Shiva be worshipped in his ‘LINGA’ form. Also he cursed one who partakes offerings to Linga lose his punya.

Then Bhrigu proceeded to Bramha and here too Bramha ignored him [Both Shiva and Bramha ignored on purpose to declare the supremacy of Vishnu, and it was not a disrespect to Muni or defect in their characteristics of getting engrossed in respective wife].

Bhrigu cursed Bramha that he be not worshipped at all on earth and let there be no temples in his name. Owing to this curse there are no Bramha temples in the world. Except at Pushkar which was constructed at the early stages of creation .

Then Bhrigu went to Vishnu, seeing Vishnu in Yoga nidra, he kicked him in the chest. Lord pacified Bhrigu by pressing his feet, this angered [mock anger] Laxmi. She left Shwetadweepa and settled in Kolahpur. Lord came down looking for her, ended up marrying Padmavati and then stood as TIRUPATI BALAJI.

Mahapurush Lakshan - 32 features

By Sri Chiraan 2009/07/06

Beauty of a person is judged by 32 features. Such 32 Features present indicates a perfect man / woman. These features are:

• Chest, forehead, shoulders must be broad - 3
• Navel, and Satva must be deep [Gambhir] - 2
• Breasts, stomach, knees, nose, face, hips must be well developed - 6
• Penis, back, neck, thighs should be small - 4

Only Hanuman has all the Lakshanas. Shiva has 28 Lakshanas, and others have lesser and lesser. Devatas have 15 and above, rishis have eight best lakshan, and beautiful humans have 4 or 5 good lakshanas. Demons have all distorted lakshan. Kali has all 32 durlakshanas only.

Those who have more than 20 lakshanas their words on Vedas can be accepted.

More the lakshanas more the happiness. More will be devotion towards Vishnu. For women beauty is the only indicator for good qualities. More beautiful a women more devoted will be she towards God.

Abenefic in Lagna or a benefic aspecting Lagna makes one beautiful

Chaturmasa

By Sri Chiraan 2009/07/04

Man born on earth is ordained to perform certain karma which is compulsory, and non adherence results in sin and punishment in hell. These karmas are known as Nitya karma.

Ekadashi vrat and Chaturmasa, Krishna ashtami are nitya karmas which every human being must adhere to. 

Chaturmasa is four months of austere ties to be observed starting from Ashadha shukla Ekadashi to Kartik shukla dwadashi. In the four months of the rainy season, from the Ekadashi of the bright fortnight of Ashadha when the Sun is in Cancer to the Ekadashi of the bright fortnight of Kartika, Lord Vishnu sleeps on the serpent-bed [ YOGA NIDRA]. This period is pious and most appropriate for devotion to Lord Vishnu.

Today is Ashadha Shukla Dwadashi and Chaturmasa begins. Chaturmasa the four months are observed thus; Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi to Shravan Shukla Ekadashi – Shaka Vrat in this month no vegetables are used in the kitchen and recipes.

Vegetables like onion, garlic, drumstick, eggplants, radish, and bottle gourd are some of them which induce passion and hence ever prohibited.

But specially prohibited in Shaka Vrat are:

Prohibited ingredients
Tamarind
Chili
Coriander
Mustard
All types of vegetables
Fruits (except Mango)
Dry grapes
Cardamom ,hing, scented articles.
Coconut
Nuts like Cashew, etc.

Allowed ingredients
Pulses (except Bengal gram and fried gram)
Pepper
Cumin seeds
Amla powder
Wheat
Sesame seeds
Ragi
Sooji
Rava
Maida
Gingelly oil
Ghee
Jaggery
Sugar
Corn
Amchur powder (dry mango powder)

Dadhi vrata – Shravan Shukla Ekadashi to Bhadrapad Shukla Ekadashi - All items made of curds and curds are prohibited in this period.

Ksheer vrata – Bhadrapad shukla ekadashi to Ashvayuj shukla ekadashi – All items made in milk and by products and milk are prohibited to be used.

Dwidala Vrata – Ashvayuj Shukla Ekadashi – Kartik Shukla Ekadashi – all the seeds [dals] which break into two when hit with stone [dicotyledons] are prohibited, and all plants sprouted from these are also prohibited, also fruits and vegetable containing multiple seeds are not to be used.

This gives control of the senses for longevity. Among the five sense organs the tongue is most vulnerable and susceptible for the temptation and it is very difficult to control. This is the last sense organ ceases its operation before the death.

A bath in holy waters, visits to holy places, temples, charities and merits take shelter in Lord Vishnu. One bathing in a river in the Chaturmasa becomes accomplished, and if one bathes in holy waters, one’s sins are destroyed.

If one mixes sesame seeds and amla powder, takes a bath with this water, he will get purged of all sins. Compassion to living beings is particularly recommended in Chaturmasa and the giving of food, water and cows etc. reading of scriptures and fire sacrifices afford immense religious merit. Giving food bestows the highest religious merit. It can be given at any time of the day.

It is a rare virtue to have the inclination to abide by dharma, to serve the saints, have darshana and satsanga of saints to worship Lord Vishnu and practice alms giving in Chaturmasa.

If one for the sake of the Lord’s pleasure, voluntarily forswears sense-enjoyments dear to one’s heart in Chaturmasa, one gets those sense-enjoyments in unlimited quantity. One doing so with full faith gets immense Punya .

• One not using metal utensils and taking food on Palasha leaves in Chaturmasa attains to vairagya.
• One should particularly refrain from taking food in copper utensils during Chaturmasa.
• Wearing black and blue is prohibited in Chaturmasa.
• One who refrains from shaving in Chaturmasa, saves himself from the taptraya.
• Sleeping on the ground, observing brahmacharya, eating on leaves, fasting, Mauna (silence), japa, meditation and charities in Chaturmasa gives results many folds.
• If one remains steadfast and takes moderate quantities of food only once in a day throughout Chaturmasa, he gets absolved of all sins and goes to Lord Vishnu’s abode.
• One eating only a single cereal throughout Chaturmasa is saved from diseases.
• One taking only one meal in a day in Chaturmasa attains punya of performing twelve yagyas.
• One living on milk or fruit alone gets thousands of sinful births destroyed.
• Complete fasting on one out of fifteen days destroys all ailments of the body and converts all the food taken in past fourteen days into ojas. That is why fasting on Ekadashi is so highly celebrated. Chaturmasa.
• continuously fasting for 12 days is known as parak.
• Taking a single morsel and increasing each morsel every day up till Poornima and reducing till Amavasya is known as Krichcha .
• Eating only once in the morning and fasting in evening is known as Nakta.
• Eating in evening and fasting during daytime is known as ekabhukta.
• All these austerities give complete results in chaturmasa and are multiplied crores of times in absolving heinous sins.
• It is specifically required to keep the mind engaged in reading shastras during this period, it is known as PARAYANA.
• It is very easy to attain mantra siddhi during chaturmasa.
• Woman can serve Lord by taking up austerities like making 100000 battis [wicks lamp] for the lord.
• Woman can also opt for making 10000 namaskaras to Lord in four months.
• Ascetics Vow to stay in one place and do not cross city borders, they perform 10000 Tulasi archana to the Lord Anantshayan.

Lord Vishnu sleeps in yognidra during Chaturmasa; therefore, no marriages, or other ceremonies, or sacrifices with desire of future reward should be performed in Chaturmasa. This four month period is for austerities. Lord gets up from his YOGNIDRA on Utthan DWADASHI [which is also TULASI VIVAH].

Palabha Prashna Phalaprapti Kaal

By Sri Chiraan 2009/07/03

• A 12 angul Shanku when erected on a plain ground gives a shadow on to the ground due to Sun at various times at a given place. This shadow is known as Shankuchaya
• The prashna Ascendant [rashi kala vikala] when converted to vikalas gives kalapinda
• Each planet has a gunaka [multiplier], Sun=5, Moon=21, Mars=14, Mercury=9 Jupiter=8, Venus=3, Saturn=11.
• Kalapinda when multiplied with chaya be divided by 7 whatever remainder R is obtained. [1 -7 sun -sat] that planets gunak be multiplied by kalapinda and chaya.
• Kalapinda X chaya / 7 = remainder R
• Z = kalapinda X Chaya X [R corresponding gunaka]
• Z / 7 = remainder if Sun, Mars or Shani then the prashna will have negative result else positive result is obtained.
• Kalapinda X chaya /71 = remainder K
• Keep deducting sun 5 moon 21 from this K where deduction is not possible that planets and remains will the number of days months or years time taken to attain the result.

Here chaya is important in knowing both prashna lagna and timings. What is chaya. In olden days Astrologers used to have a stick 12 angul erected in the house, and year long shadow markings for various hours at various months were marked. This is impractical in todays times.

So without erecting shanku [stick ] can we find the chaya. Lets use some mathematics.

Chayakarna² = chaya ² + Shanku ²

This principle can be found in grahalaghav, sarvanandkaran, makarand etc treatises of Astrology.

Vishuvat is sayan mesha sankranti and Sayan tula sankranti normally falls on 21 march and 23 september. On these days at NOON, 12 angul shanku at whatever place gives the shadow, that shadow is known as PALABHA.

At Vishuvat rekha ie akshansha 0° deg at equator shadow will be zero.

As we go northwards or southwards the shadow increases so does Palabha proportional to latitudes. That means if akshansha is known [longitude / latitudes] then palabha can be known. and vice versa.

i.e. If shadow is accurately cast then latitudes and longitudes of the place can be found out.

Palabha ²= {625 -(Akshansha X 10 )} ²

If Palabha is known then chaya can be found out as follows

Y= [charapala / {palabha X 10 }]² X 2 ;

Bhajya= Y+ Y/5 +114 ;

Bhajak = charapala /5 ± 114 ;

Sama= {Natkal +0.30 }² / 2 ;

Palakarna = [Palabha ² /25] + 12 ;

Abhista har ={Bhajak- sama } / Palakarna ;

Chayakarna = Bhaja / Ishta har ;

Chaya ² = chayakarna ² – Shanku ²

This is shadow at the time of prashna

Example:

Let there be a question at 10 am Delhi when ascendant was 4. 22° .46′.

kalatmakpinda = 4X 30 =120 +22 =144° X 60 =8640 +46 = 8686 

Let chaya be 9.13

kalapinda X chaya = 8686 X 9.13 = 80055.58

80056/7 = remainder 4 [ Mercury ] gunak =9

8686X 9 = 720504

720504/7 remainder =1 [ Sun] thus the result will not be favourable

80056/71 = remainder 36 

36- Surya 5 = 34

34- Moon 21 = 13

13- Mars 14 [ deduction not possible ] thus thus 13 days trouble are indicated as Sun is not favourable.

If remainder is Sun Mars = days, Venus Moon = fortnight, Jupiter = months, Mercury = 2 months, Saturn = years; as many days months years etc. should be predicted for timing of the event such as travel, return from foreign trip, loss, gain, destruction of enemies, advent of finance etc.

For details one can refer Surysidhdhanta triprashnadhikar.

Utpat

By Sri Chiraan 2009/07/02

Utpat are of three types: 

• Divya
• Antariksha
• Bhauma

Differences in the discs of Sun, Planets or Stars are known as Divya.

Ulka [comets], nirghat [meteors], Vayu vikar [windstorms], Parivesha [solar /lunar dispersion], Gandharva nagar [UFO], Indradhanush [rainbow], are all Antariksha utpat

Movable things if they become immovable or immovable things become movable on earth then it is Bhauma Utpat .

Shanti will alleviate Bhauma utpat. Antariksha utpat reduces its effect when shanti is performed. Divya Utpat does not calm down even after Shanti. Gold, food and cow and Prithvi [land] when donated reduces some UTPAT ill effects .

Divya Utpat can also be pacified by 1 Crore homa. [Koti homa].

King finds results of Divya Utpat in his body, son, treasury, vehicles, city, queen, chief, priest and subjects .

Shivaling, Devata statue and temples or places of worship when they dislocate, cry, sweat, or fall, or make some strange noises then it foretells death or danger to the King and his Kingdom.

When during festival in temples, if the grand vehicles [yatra ratha] breakdown, wheel gets stuck or over-turns, then it foretells bad future for the inhabitants and King.

When Draupadi Vasraharan was attempted by Dushyashan, temporarily all the greats in the Kuru family were mentally stuck by inertia [they were all stabdha] by the evil force of Kali, and Dhritrashtra, Bheeshma, Drona and Kripa except Vidur none opposed the act.

Vikarna [brother of Duryodhan opposed the act saying this is adharma. But this was not out of any devotion to Krishna, or attachment to Pandavas, or extreme faith in Dharma. Vikarna wanted to show that he knows some dharma well, and wanted to exhibit it without any conviction.

Thus even after he opposed, Bheemasen vowed to kill all the 100 brother s of Kauravas. Bheema is apostle of Dharma, he cannot err. Yet If Vikarna was right then Bheemsen should have vowed for 99 people, but he vowed to eliminate all the 100. Gandhari did ask this question to Bheemsen in the end. Bheem explains, Vikarna had only shown intent on his knowledge exhibition and no conviction. Yet he also was party to imprisoning scheme of Krishna and rendered him a Vishnu Drohi, and hence was entitled to be killed by Bheemsen.

After the Bheemsen vow, there were UTPAT everywhere visible in the skies and earth trembled, there were heavy cries from owls, yagnyashala of Kauravas moved to a distance, there as a vile storm and heavy rains. Dhrtarashtra's throne trembled, his crown fell down and horses vomited blood. Owls and vultures cried loudly. All the AYga mantap lit automatically by fire. the statue of Kuru greats wept profusely.

Dhritarashtra called for Vidura and asked him the results of this Utpat. Vidura said "if you don't act oh great king you will be destroyed along with your sons and children. Bheemsen is very angry, and Draupadi can any moment curse you, this will close gates of heaven to you. and imminent downfall awaits your family".

Dhritarashtra afraid of curse of Draupadi asks Vidura a way out to escape calamity.

He says "return the Kingdom and husbands freedom for Draupadi". Dhritarastra asked "what's wrong in gaining a kingdom by his son in gambling, how does that entitle Bheemsen to wage war ?".

Vidura says "oh King, listen to the Dharma carefully, that which is given to a woman by her husband, that which is taken away from a pious Bramhin, or widowed woman, or a crippled soldier, or that which is lost in a gamble, all this can be taken back by force and there is no loss of dharma in it".

Dhritarashtra then pacifies Draupadi and asks her to seek a boon. Kshtriya woman does not seek any boons from other than husband. Vidura says three can be taken from the husbands father. Since Pandu is not alive Dhhrtarashtra is akin to father, and her father in-law so she can ask three boons from him. Vidura urges Dhritarashtra to bestow freedom to Draupadi, her husbands and third return of Kingdom lost in gamble.

Dhritarashtra obliges and returns all that is lost in the gamble along with freedom from slavery to Pandavs. Bheemsen says what has been given in fear is not a dana or boon but a an extract by themselves. Thus they as kshatriys cannot be said to have gained freedom in bhiksha. As Dhritarashtra gave these out of fear.

But great is the Satvik nature of Draupadi, that even in extreme trouble she did not curse Kauravas, but relied on Krishna to safeguard her honour . This is true Bhagavat dharma.

Pravarshan - Rainfall

By Sri Chiraan 2009/07/01

Pravashan is known by omens present at the rainfall on the following stars Purvabhadrapad, Uttarabhadrapad, Uttarashada, Purvashadha, Rohini. In these five stars when there is rainfall, then it is known as garbha. 

After 195 days it is known as prasava, where there will be massive rains or poor rains as per the omens on the day of Garbha.

If there is rainfall on these stars with more than required quantity in every season then there will be enough rains .

But if there are rains on Shatbhishaga, Ashlesha, Ardra ,Swati or Magha, as garbha then if these are lit with omens like utpat [divya antariksha or bhaum] there will not be rains for as many days in the rainy season for as many days the omens exist during garbha.

Five factors to be observed for a rain are Vayu, Jal, Vidyut, Megh, Shabda. If garbha contains all the five factors, then there will be ample rains in the season.

When all the five are present then there will be rains for 100 yojans, if only four omens at garbha then rains will be for 50 yojan, three omens will give 25 yojan, two will give 12.5 yojan only one omen will give 5 yojan distributed rains.

If garbh is in margashirsh then there will be less rains.

Jyeshta shukla ashtami to four days are normally suitable for garbha, if it rains on swati star then there will no rains in shravan amasa.

If it rains on vishakha then there will be no rains in bhadrapada, anuradha will not give rains in ashvayuj and jyeshta rain will make it rainless in kartik.

Where there is good law and order and where Bramhins are always engaged in homa havan and yagnyas, and are agnihotris there will always be plenty of rains.

Today most parts of India are facing extreme power shortage. Here are unscheduled power cuts even in cities like Bangalore, Delhi etc. This seems to be caused by shortage in water level in reservoirs in dams.

Electricity department has openly made an appeal to the people to understand that this is due to shortage of rainfall. If it does not rain in coming weeks, the unscheduled cuts will be normalised, and additional cuts will be imposed apart from regular 5 hour cuts in city like Bangalore. Tariff may increase by Rs 3.

And it is all due to no Rains. Strange how the rationalists have suddenly started believing in the rain Gods. In the era when it was fashionable to build dams, depending on rains was superstition. Every river had dams obstructing its flow thinking that will give electricity forever. Wise cried, the river is not just a water flowing it is ecosystem. If ecosystem is disturbed then environment is affected. People laughed, they thought it is old fashioned to oppose dams.

There were films in those days where waiting for rains for agriculture was shown as sign of backwardness and unscientific. The arrogance of science was on the basis of its discovery of electricity. This arrogance led to abuse of rivers, rivers dried everywhere in every part of India.

Today same custodians of electricity are looking skywards [like poor farmer of parallel cinema art film] for rains.

Rajvrittant - List of kings after Mahabharata war

By Sri Chiraan 2009/06/26

Bhagavat purana lists all the kings that would come to rule the land of bharat [entire jambudweepa] after King Parikshit. This is an interesting tale of kings yet to come a prediction by Vedavyasa. The names of the kings and their prospective rule, along with the number of years they ruled is amazingly accurate when compared to the actual history. However William Jones and others distorted Indian history and jumbled up the names of many kings to match with the Sumerian record. 

Most of the history we read is highly biased and interpolated to suit the erstwhile British empire designs to show the land of Bharat as land of snake charmers and naked babas.

Th actual list is:

• 3139 The Mahabharat War
• Start of Brihadrath dynasty of Magadh
• Start of Yudhisthir dynasty of Hastinapur
• 3102 Ascension of Bhagwan Krishn 

Start of kaliyug

• 2139 End of Brihadrath dynasty
• 2139-2001 Pradyot dynasty
• 2001-1641 Shishunag dynasty
• 1894-1814 Gautam Buddh
• 1641-1541 Nandas
• 1541-1241 Maurya dynasty
• *1541-1507 Chandragupt Maurya
• 1507-1479 Bindusar
• 1479-1443 Ashokvardhan
• 1241-784 Shung and Kanau dynasty
• 784-328 Andhra dynasty 
• 328-83 Gupt dynasty 
•  328-321 Chandragupt Vijayaditya
• *326 Alexander’s invasion
• 321-270 Samudragupt Ashokaditya Priyadarshin, or
• Ashok the Great
• 102BC-15AD Vikramaditya, established Vikram era in 57 BC

(AD)

• 25-85 Shalivahan, established Shalivahan Shak era in 78 AD
• 85-1192 There were several kingdoms of Rajpoot kings all over India. They ruled for 1,107 years.
• 1192-1757 In 1192, Mohammad Gori invaded Delhi (Hastinapur) the second time, defeated and killed Prithviraj Chauhan, and became the king. Since then several dynasties of Muslims ruled India for 565 years.
• 1757-1947 In 1757 English regime was established in Bengal.
• British ruled India for 190 years.
• 1947 India got Independence

It can be seen that there is full 1200 years of difference between the Chanakya Maurya and Alexander .

The myth of Alexander and his Selukus having fought Maurya is evident. This is the greatest hoax of this century. A grand goof up.

To prove the same let us provide some evidence.

The famous Aihole inscription of glorious Chalukya King Pulkeshi II of the 7th century says:

It means, “3,735 (30 + 3,000 + 700 + 5) years have already elapsed in Kaliyug
after the Mahabharat war, and 556 (50 + 6 + 500) years of Shalivahan era is running (on this date of engraving this inscription)”. The inscription says that 3,735 years of Kaliyug had already elapsed. It means the 3,736th year of Kali era was running in the Shak era 556 AD which was 556 + 78 = 634 AD. Thus, deducting 634 from 3,736 comes to 3102 BC.

Thus date of both Mahabharata war and Shalivahan shaka has been established through this inscription.

Now Bhagavat clearly deleanates the list and is also supported by Vishnu purana and Bhavishya Purana.

Bhavishya Puran itself there are descriptions of Vikramaditya in more than 40 chapters between Pratisarg Parv I and IV. Pratisarg Parv IV, chapter 1 of Bhavishya Puran says that after the elapse of a full 3,000 years in kaliyug (3102 – 3000 = 102 BC), a dynamic Divine personality was born who was named Vikramaditya. Bhavishya Puran further says that the great King Vikramaditya ruled for one hundred years.

Kalidas, the greatest poet, writer and the literary figure of his time, living a pious life and sincerely devoted to his scholarly work, was one of the nine gems of King Vikram’s court. The Jyotirvidabharnam by Kalidas tells in its first chapter [astrological treatise by Kalidas]

That Vikram era started at the elapse of (agni 3, ambar 0, yug 4 and ved 4 = 3,0,4,4) 3,044 years of Kaliyug. Thus, the 3,045th year of Kaliyug was the beginning of Vikram era which is 57 BC. At the end of Jyotirvidabharnam, Mahakavi Kalidas mentions the exact date of his writing and says that

In the Kali era 3067 he had started to write this book. It means, he wrote that book when 3,067 years of Kaliyug had passed. That comes to 35 BC (3102 – 3067 = 35), which is after the beginning of Vikram era.
Thus, Vikramaditya was born in 102 BC (3102-3000), established his ‘era’ in 57 BC and left this earth planet in 15 AD.

There were nine dynasties that ruled Magadh after the Mahabharat war (3139 BC). They were: 

• 21 kings in Brihadrath dynasty (1,000 years)
• 5 in Pradyot (138 years)
• 10 in Shishunag (360 years)
• One King Mahapadm Nand along with his 8 sons (100 years)
• 10 Maurya (137 years)
• 10 Shung and 4 Kanva (457 years)
• 30 kings of Andhra dynasty for 456 years (Bhagwatam 9/22/46-49, 12/1/1-28 )

Thus Alexander’s era of 320 BC does not coincide with Chanakya and Maurya.

Morover Megasthenes never mentions about any minister of Sandrokottus by name Chanakya. The most prolific and authentic historian, it is unlikely that when he has not missed to capture the essence of Magadh empire with details of gardens, and footpath, and roads, and administration has failed to mention the most revered and admired minister of Empire. It is in fact the empire of Ashoka priyadarshin[samudragupta] that megasthenes was describing and not Candragupta Maurya. As 320 Bc was Gupta period and not Maurya period.

Some names are confusing .

• The Gupt dynasty was the ninth Magadh dynasty. There were seven kings in the Gupt dynasty:
• (1) Chandragupt Vijayaditya (ruling period 7 years)
• (2) Samudragupt Ashokaditya Priyadarshin or Ashok the Great (51 years)
• (3) Chandragupt II Vikramaditya (36 years)
• (4) Kumargupt Mahendraditya (42 years)
• (5) Skandgupt Parakramaditya (25 years)
• (6) Nrasinghgupt Baladitya (40 years) 
• (7) Kumargupt II Vikramaditya (44 years) 

The total reigning period was 245 years. After the downfall of Gupt dynasty the kingship of Magadh ended, and it went under the subordination of Vikramaditya of Ujjain (Malva).

And Mauryan dynasty:

• Chanakya, also known as Kautilya, who didn’t have a pleasant appearance but had an intelligent brain, managed to terminate the existing King Mahapadm Nand and his eight sons, and made Chandragupt the King of Magadh who was also the legitimate heir of the throne. The total period of the four dynasties including the Nand dynasty after the Mahabharat war is 1,598 years (1,000 + 138 + 360 + 100). Thus, the coronation date of Chandragupt Maurya comes to 3139 – 1598 = 1541 BC. Chandragupt Maurya ruled for 34 years (1541-1507 BC), his son Bindusar ruled 28 years (1507-1479 BC) and his grandson Ashokvardhan ruled for 36 years (1479-1443 BC).

Megasthenes mentions King of India had usurped kingdom from his master.

Chandragupta of Gupta dynasty was a general in the court of Andhra king when the king died, his son Pauloma was a infant, so Chadraguta assumed throne later killed Pauloma to become emperor.

Whereas Maurya was installed by Chanakya and was legal heir to the throne.

Megasthenes was considered as gossiper by Greeks themselves. Strabo says Megasthenes account cannot be believed as it says some Indians had feet backwards with eight toes. Sugarcane was a honey coated reed which gave honey without bees. Indians lived only for 40 years, and women gave birth to child at seven. The snakes were flying and scorpions threw venom from skies and ants were as big as camel.

All these show he was cooking up stories.

And Jones took advantage of these writings to establish Sandrokottus was Chandragupta Maurya. And Hindus were Aryans from foreign Land, and so Muslims and Christians were equally acceptable as Hindus in this land as invaders. But megasthenes never mentions Maurya or Chanakya.

Thus this history is distorted. And true history is what is given in Bhagavatam and Bhavishya Purana.

Kings of Pramar dynasty up to King Bhojraj as given in the Bhavishya Puran (Pratisarg Parv IV chapter one) states Vikramaditya, son of Gandharv Sen, reigned up to 15 AD. Vikramaditya’s son Deobhakt ruled from 15-25 AD and his grandson, Shalivahan, ruled from 25-85 AD. Shalivahan established his era in 78 AD. It is called the Shalivahan Shakera.

Vaksiddhi - Birth of Vyasateertha

By Sri Chiraan 2009/06/26

• Mercury in kendra, Venus in second house and any other benefic in the third house gives Vaksiddhi.
• Jupiter with any other benefic in vargottam will give vaksiddhi. 

Many times Astrologers reap fame due to vaksiddhi. Even austere saints exhibit Vaksiddhi. Vaksiddhi gives rise to a concept that Lord sometimes overrides the destiny of people for the sake of words of certain chosen few.

One must not pester Astrologers to answer any queries when he is not in a mood, his words sometimes spoils a good fortunes, and a delighted Bramhin astrologer can spin wonders for a dejected man, or one beaten down by the hit of destiny. Astrologers should hence use restraint in giving negative predictions.

Vedvyasa resides in the speech of Bramhins. Perhaps this may be the reason why in Yaksha prashna Yudhisthir answers "the power of Bramhin is in his speech". This is also the reason why Prahlad asks the only boon in his life to Lord Narsimha to always give his lineage and descendants the mind to oblige Bramhins. For this Lord Narayana says "Bramhano sakshat mama devata".

Once there lived a woman in her late fifties by name Kaveri. She hurriedly went to the Mutt where Shri Bramhanyateertha was engrossed in the study of shastras. Kaveri had just lost her husband Ramchandraachar and his corpse was being taken to the funeral.

Unable to bear the agony she decided to alight the pyre [sati] and wanted to take permission from the saint.

Saint without even taking a look at her, engrossed in his book, and without even listening to her exclaimed "deergha sumangali bhava ,suputrapraptirastu".

Kaveri amma became very puzzled. She said Swamiji my husband is being taken for funeral [he is already dead] and what is this you have said. Swamiji said his words would not go waste.

Bramhanya teerth went to the corpse and sprinkled the holy water [teertha] of Sriman MOOLARAM and Ramchandraachar got up to the delight of all the gathering.

Even as a aged woman she conceived and gave birth to a great scholar. This child studied in Kanchi and became famous as Vagmi, and compiled entire Madhva shastra into a couplet.

Shripad Rayaru of Mulbagil was very impressed with his mastery over Shastras. Then Bramhanya teertha ordained this boy as the successor to his Mutt Peethadhipati and named him "Shri Vyasa Teertha".

Sulava Narsimha was emperor of Vijaynagar empire. He requested ShriPadraja swamiji to take over pooja of Tirumala Venkataramana. Tirupati was governed by Vijaynagar Kings. Shripadaraj swamiji recommended Vyasateertha to be appointed for praying Tirupati Balaji. [Madhvas were actually archakas during Vijayanagar Rule]. Vyasa teertha did abhisheka and pooja at Tirumala for 12 years. It was during such period Sulava raya declared Vyasateertha as his Rajguru . His successor Krishnadevaraya also accepted Vyasaraja as his Guru.

The famous historian and poet Somanath writes.Vyasa raya was respected by all the Kings even Muslims. He was revered Saint and King actively sought his political advise. The great Dasa like Purandara, kanaka etc were ordained under his tutorship. The great Saints like Vijayeendra, Vadiraaj also learnt under him. He defeated many scholars of his time to establish Madhva philosophy. He was considered as Abhinav Vyasa. Idols of Krishna danced whenever he was engaged in its pooja. People rejoiced and felt safe in his administration.

Once when a astrologer declared that great calamity will befall the Kingdom of Vijayanagar when the birth star of the King was tenanted by three malefics. The astrologer predicted, whoever sits on the throne at that inauspicious hour will meet certain death.

Krishnadevaraya, invited Vyasateertha to rule the Kingdom for twelve years on the throne [as he alone could mitigate the duryoga]. Vyasateertha threw his angavastra onto the throne and it burnt down to ashes, then he ascended the Throne of Vijaynagar Empire and ruled for twelve years to safeguard King Krishnadevaraya from ill fate. He was able administrator and statesman.

Vyasateertha established 732 Idols of Hanuman all through the Empire. Vyasateertha was Balhika in the Mahabharata war. As Balhika [elder brother of Shantanu and uncle of Bheeshma] he had raised mace on Lord Bheemasen 732 times. Finally he died in the hands of Bheemasen. having raised weapon on the Lord Vayu, he did prayashchitta by installing 732 Hanuman idols all over the empire in this birth.

Vyasa teertha was reborn as Shri Raghavendra Teertha.

RajYoga - The story of Narahari teertha

By Sri Chiraan 2009/06/24

|| sasItAmUlarAmArchA koshe gajapateH sthitA |

||yenAnItA namastasmai shrImannR^iharibhixave||

Narahari teertha - 3rd Pontiff in the Shree Madhacharya - Raghavendra Mutt (1324-1333-Hampi-Thungabhadra).

PooRvashram name SHyam shaastri.

When Jupiter is in Lagna and Sun in the tenth house at the time of travel one will acquire a Kingdom in his travel.

Shyam Shastri was the minister of Kalinga State. His father was Narasimha Bhatta. who was also an officer in that state. They were powerful in many respects. Many temples were erected during their time. The inscriptions at Srikurmam says he had donated a village to Bramhins for the welfare of King Bhanudev II. He was expert swordsman and able statesman. He was a scholar. Lead a life like rajaRshi, working as an minister in the court of King Gajapathi of Orissa(Kalinga) State.

Sriman Madhwacharya camped at Orissa after returning from Badarikashram. A Vidwat sabha was arranged. The father and the son took part in the debate. Both father and son duo were traditionally ADVAITI Bramhins, thus they were debating against the Dvaita philosophy of Sriman Madhvacharya. They could not succeed. They accepted the defeat.

Impressed by the discourses of Sri Madhvacharya, Shyama Shastri accepted the Vaishnava-dvaitha Math and became his disciple. He was ordained the name NARHARI Teertha.

Stayed for some time with his guru. Sriman Madhwacharya asked him to go to Kalinga State and spread the Dvaitha Philosophy.

At that time the king died leaving a infant heir to the throne. A caretaker was necessary till the infant prince grew Young and capable. The subjects were in dilemma. They decided and made arrangements for the Royal elephant to go round the State with a garland at its trunk, and to put to the neck of a person to whom it chooses as the best. That person would rule the kingdom. The Royal elephant saw a Sanyasi coming out of Lord Jagannatha temple, after performing pooja. It garlanded the Sanyasi and prostrated before him. The subjects felt that Lord Jagannatha had come in the form of Swamiji, and entrusted the State to the control of the Swamiji. He was none other than Sri Narahari Theertha. The subjects were more than happy to see erstwhile minister now back to look after them.

Sri Narahari theertha also thought that it was the will of God to protect the kingdom till the prospective ruler would grow, and was able to take charge of the kingdom. Thus he looked after the Kingdom for 12 years.

The history of Orissa well records this fact in the following extract

http://www.orissadiary.com/orissa_profile/orissahistory.asp

………………………………………………………………..

Narasimhadeva I was successful in his campaigns against the Muslims, and humbled the pride of his enemy. Like his father he was a devotee of Lord Purushottama. He is remembered in history as the builder of the world famous temple at Konarka.

In 1264 A.D. Narasimhadeva I was succeeded by his son Bhanudeva I born of queen Sitadevi. During his time Narahari Tirtha the disciple of Ananda Tirtha (Madhvacharya) had great influence in Orissa. He was even appointed as a Governor of Kalinga. During the rule of Bhanudeva, Chandrikadevi, the daughter of Anangabhimadeva I, constructed the Ananta Basudev temple at Bhubaneswar in 1278 A.D. That year Bhanudeva died and his son Narasimhadeva II was an infant. Narahari Tirtha worked as regent for long twelve years. Narasimhadeva II is known to have fought against the Muslims of Bengal the results of which were decisive. His long reign from 1278 to 1306 was peaceful.
…………………………………………………………………..

During his rule, he remained a sanyasi and converted many adjacent princes and kings to Vaishnav Dvaita fold and renamed them. The Matsya rulers of Oddavadi became independent of the Gangas, and were converted to Vaisnavism by Narahari Tiirtha. Arjuna became Narasimha Vardhana, Annamaraja Gopalavardhana and Munjaditya Srirangavardhana. Sri Narahari Tiirtha was also responsible for the conversion of many princely and aristocratic families of Kalinga, and Andhra regions to Madhva fold. The descendants of these families still flourish in the coastal Andhra and adjoining states.

When the successor had attained maturity to take charge of the kingdom, he handed over the State and left for the UDUPI. The Young Raja wanted to give presents to the outgoing Sanyasi. But Sri Narahari theertha did not accept anything. When the young Rajakumar persisted him to have something as a memento, he took the MoolaRama idols from the Raja Bhanadara and arrived at the Udipi Kshetra on Kartheeka shudhdha Dwadashi evening. He submitted these idols to SriMan Madhwacharya. The morning Pooja were over due to Dwadashi. Yet Sriman Madhwacharya again went to Sri Madhwa sarovara and took bath and completed the Ahneeka. Taking these Bramha KaraaRchitha [one adorned and prayed by Bramha] idols and kept by the side of Lord Kadagol Krishna and performed the Pooja.

Sri Narahari theertha was performing Sanchara in all the directions like Sri PadmanaBha theertha spreading the Dwaitha doctrine. He came to a village called GollarahaLLI. That early morning, Lord Sriman Narayana appeared in his dream informing the saint that he was in the form of an idol in the nearby tank. Accordingly, the saint with his parivara went to the spot indicated by the lord and brought a beautiful idol of Sri Lakshminarayana, and installed in a temple specially constructed for it. The Tank was improved. It started yielding good crops for the nearby fields. People called the tank as Narayana Kere. Tipu sulthan on horse back, on his way to a war, happened to see this Lakshminarayana idol and went on to conquer KoppaLa, on his return, Tippu saw the idol again. He was pleased. As a mark of his victory he made arrangements for a diamond studded crown for this idol.

The saint came to a village called Chikkera haLLi near MoLakalmanoor. The saint dreamt that Anjaneya was inside a big anthill in that village. The mud was extracted and the saint found Anjaneya Vigraha Pratishtapana was done as per the wishes of Anjaneya and people believe that it belonged to Janamejayaraya’s period. A separate temple was constructed.

Sri Narahari teertha was Acharya’s pet student. He wrote commentary for Geetha Bhashya. He also wrote commentaries for Yamaka Bharatha. Also wrote Keerthana’s in Kannada language. He lived for 80 years in Kalinga, Andhra, and Karanataka States He gave ashram to Sri Maadhawa Theertha. Behind the Vijaya vitala temple of Hampi near Chakratheertha, he entered Brindavana.

…………………………………………………………………………

What was the necessity for Madhvacharya to send Narhari teerth to Kalinga?

The story ends with Narhari teertha bringing the MOOLRAMA vigraha. This gold idol still in Mantralayam and has interesting background which warrants a narration.

God Narayana is omnipotent. Lord has all his roopa intact and imperishable. So Lord MoolRama was / is present even before Lord Ram actually appeared as son of Dasharath.

Bramha was praying this idol Moolrama in Satyaloka. He had appointed a deity by name “ShankhaKarna” to bring everyday Tulasi and flowers without fail, and punctually at the time of pooja of Bramha .

Shankhakarna was prompt in his duty for yugas. However one day, as he gazed the idol, a desire to do the pooja himself to the idol of MoolRama and hold it in the his hands , crisscrossed the mind of the deity. Engrossed in his desires and such thoughts and dreams, he forgot to hand over the Tulasi and flowers to Bramha in time.

Bramha in anger cursed him to be born on earth as rakshas. When prayed ardently by the ShanhaKarna, Bramha smiled and said this was not a curse but a anugraha shapa [a boon in disguise]. He had grasped his desire and in his one of the births he would pray the idol with his own hands. And all his births he will be specially devoted to VISHNU.

ShankhaKarna was born as Prahlad. [Chief inspiration behind the advent of lord as NARSIMHA]. Then he was born as BALHIKA [elder brother of SHANTANU and uncle of BHEESHMA fought war and died in the hands of BHEEMA, he was the elder most [elder to Bheeshma] warriors in Mahabharata war]. Then he took birth as Shri RAGHAVENDRA Swamy.

Bramha gave the idol to Ikshvaku of Solar dynasty. From there it came to Dasharath and the Lord RAM gave it to Lakshman, subsequently to Hanuman.

Hanuman gave this to Bheemasen. Bheemasen after the war handed it over Kalinga King. In this Kalinga lineage, this remained in Orrissa, but the pooja had long ago stopped, and hence it was kept in the Royal storage.

It was through Narahari teertha it came back to Bheemsen [Madhvacharya] and in the mutt was continuously prayed daily by the Mutt POntiffs. Thus in this tradition Shri Raghavendra was appointed Pontiff by Sudhindra teerth. and Shri Raghavendra [ShankhaKarna] fulfilled his long cherished dream of praying MOOLRAMCHANDRA
