Panchatantra: Weaver’s Love For Princess — Determination Leads To Success

A carpenter knew that his friend, a weaver is in one-sided-love with a princess. She used to live at top of the palace that was heavily protected by guards. If carpenter did not think up a plan, weaver would die without the princess — so carpenter told the weaver to meet the princess in the disguise of lord Vishnu, in this form the princess would surely love him.

As Vishnu rides on a bird, called garuda. The carpenter made a mechanical bird, on which the weaver could sit and fly to reach anywhere in the sky.

One night, weaver turned himself in Vishnu, rode on the bird and reached at top of the palace where the princess lived, privately. At the sight, princess fell to the Vishnu’s feet, she couldn’t believe that lord himself appeared for her. She was ready to give anything for the lord. He asked to marry her, how could she say no? They did Gandharva marriage (by just mutual agreement of a man and woman), since that time weaver in the form of Vishnu went daily at night to meet the princess; and they played husband and wife.

Somehow guards got the smell that the princess started seeing a man; they informed the king and queen — they took the details from their daughter. And became very pleased as their daughter was wedded to lord Vishnu, god himself.

King felt himself powerful ‘coz now his son-in-law was god. So he started insulting other kings and invited a battle. A king with mighty army, attacked his capital. King went to meet his daughter and said, “When lord Vishnu comes from Vaikunta at night, tell him about the battle and we need his help.” When weaver came at night riding on the mechanical bird, the princess told him everything; he made the princess believed that he would kill the enemy-king and returned before dawn.

The weaver was restless, how would he fight? He would be killed. If he didn’t fight, the enemy-king would kill his father-in-law and take away his beautiful wife with him — in this case, there was death too, 'coz he would have lost his love. After lots of thinking he decided to fight in the form of Vishnu, sitting on that mechanical bird, garuda.

Real Vishnu knew everything that what was going to happen in the earth. And other divine beings suggested him — if the fake Vishnu died in the war, nobody would worship him; 'coz people didn't recognize fake Vishnu was real fake.

Real Vishnu decided to help him: part of him entered in fake Vishu; part of Sudarshan Chakra entered in fake Sudarshan Chakra; part of real garuda entered in mechanical bird.

At the time when armies was about to attack on each other, fake Vishnu appeared in the sky — he used Sudarshana Chakra and the enemy-king was killed on the spot.

Learning: if you are well determined, god comes to help you.

Golden Rule Of Three Years To Get Success

Give yourself completely to whatever you like for three years -- let it be your career, business, health or any other thing of life. Why three years, exactly? Because what is the advantage of sticking to something which isn't giving any result. Time is precious, don't waste if the results aren't coming. Why not less than three years? If we spread these three years for success, we can assume first year is dominated by getting knowledge of the field, second year dominated by execution, and the third year comes the maturity where knowledge and experience of execution strike for success. As an exeption we can stretch these three years into five or six years -- only when there are uncontrollable issues like of health or circumstantial issues.

108 Names Of Shri Surya From Mahabharata

Surya (Sun) is the most important planet as well as a deity. Worshiping Surya increases prana-shakti (life-force), it rays destroy many diseases and it is the biggest source of never ending energy. There is a Strota, called Surya-Kavach, it is chanted for protection, as a deity his protection is very strong — remember the case of Karna in Mahabharata, he was invincible due to Surya-Kavach. This Surya-Kavach wasn’t as it is shown in movies, it was a Mantrik protection which Karna had and on Indra request he promised not to use it in the war. We take note of popular deities, but Surya as a deity is not lesser than others — though there are less Sanskrit literature on Surya (as I know), but whatever it is, like Surya Kavach and Aditya Hriday Strota, I think, is very potent. English Name | हिंदी नाम 1) Om Suryaay Namah | ॐ सूर्याय नम: 2) Om AryMane Namah | ॐ अर्यमणे नम:

18 Types Of Puja (Worship) Acc. To Fetkarini Tantra

Puja enhances our devotion to our Deity, and it is not an expensive affair we can learn to do it ourselves. Puja makes our heart-center (Air element) stronger, as our devotion increases it is bound to be happen. It is written in Fetkarini Tantra, about 18 kinds of worship (Puja). I think during Navratri, Holi, Deepawali (Lakshmi), Ganesh Chaturthi, MahaShivRatri and during all major festivals, Panchopachar Puja isn't sufficient one should go for either Shodosopchar Puja (16 types) or below 18 types of Puja. Try to do this in Navratri or at the time of Ganesh Chaturthi, because during these two festivals most of the Hindu do Murti Visarjan (point 18). आसनावाहनं चार्घ्य, पाद्यमाचमनं तथा। स्रानं वासोपवीतिं च, भूषणानि च सर्वशः ।। गन्धं पुष्पं तथा दीपं, धूपोऽत्रं चापि तर्पणम्। माल्यानुलेपनं चैव, नमस्कारो विसर्जनम् ।। अष्टादशोपचारैस्तु, मातृ पूजां समाचरेत् ।। Means:1 आसन, 2 आवाहन, 3 अर्घ्य, 4 पाद्य, 5 आचमन, 6 स्नान, 7 वस्त्र, 8 उपवीत (जनेऊ), 9 आभूषण, 10 गन्ध, 11 पुष्प, 12 धूप, 13 दीप, 1

Essential Nyas For A Sadhak To Do Everyday

Nyas means to establish something (Devi / Devta energy) in our body: it purifies our body and makes our body and mind worthy of chanting a mantra / stotra. A Sadhak should do भूत-शुद्धि, बहिर्मातृका न्यास, अन्तर्मातृका न्यास, and षोढा-न्यास daily, 'coz we worship Devta by becoming a Devta, and in that Nyas helps us a lot. In every mantra generally many kinds of Nyas are given prior to chanting a mantra, they are usually shorter and doesn't take much time. They are essential and shouldn't be skipped. These भूत-शुद्धि, बहिर्मातृका न्यास, अन्तर्मातृका न्यास, and षोढा-न्यास take comparatively longer time duration. भूत-शुद्धि means purification of five elements in our body, that is Earth (Prithvi), Water (Jal), Fire (Agni), Air (Vayu), and Ether (Aakash). बहिर्मातृका Nyas and अन्तर्मातृका Nyas, establish "energy of our VarnMala" in our body-parts and in our chakras respectively. षोढा-न्यास is of two types Lagu Shoda Nyas and Maha Shoda Nyas.

Why Two Types Of Navratri Are More Popular

Navratri comes four times in a year: 1) In Chitra (Vasant) Maas, 2) In Sharad (Ashwin) Maas, 3) In Ashadha (आषाढ़) Maas, and 4) in Magh Maas. As it is written in the following Shaloka: चैत्रे आश्विने तथाषाढे, माघे कार्यों महोत्सवः। नव रात्रे महाराज! पूजा कार्या विशेषतः ।। Generally, we are told that two Navratri are for public and rest two Navratri are called Gupt Navratri. These two Gupt Navratri are for the Sadhak --- but it isn't the exact fact. All four Navratri are for general public and for all dedicated Devi Sadhak, there is no secret. Fact is during the time of Chaitra and Sharad, weather changes a lot -- so there are chances of getting diseases. During Navratri due to fasting and purification, all kind of diseases can be avoided, that's why these two Navratri gained significance among public.
