Srikrishna -Sandhi doot

Srikrishna went to advice peace to Dhrutarashtra and his sons. But Duryodhan and other 100 brothers decided to imprison Lord.[ what a foolish thought] this thought single handedly entitled 100 brothers to die at the hands of Bheema . Even Vikarna [ who had showed off his knowledge of dharma in Draupadi vastraApharan episode without conviction] had now defaulted and became fit for death in war.
JAgatpati can he be bound , by nurturing such thoughts evil binds istelf forever in agyana and andhakaar. LOrd rightly shows his Vishwaroopa to Dhrutarashtra [giving him divyadrishti] and asks him to control his sons . His putravyamoha had reaped into a crop of kauravas [ the seeds of mind develop as sons and offsprings] heading for downfall. All other kauravas unable to see the Lord close their eyes. Dhritarashtra begs pardon from Lord and pleads to return to normalcy.
Here again worth noting is the point Lord chides Dhrutarashtra and not Duryodhan , he could have controlled Duryodhan's mind to get him devotional , but Lord does not do so . He left Duryodhan to attain hell .
Even though the entire world is in the control of Lord , he enacts as per the karma and swaroopa of the soul. Though Sandhi was not desired it was enacted to establish a norm of striving for peace in all possible manner sacrificing all personal motives . Thus importance of peace has been glorified in this incident.

Chakradhar

In Mahabharath Lord Krishna lifts the chakra to assault Bheeshma ! This is a very interesting scenario from the philosophic point of view. why? Because Lord had vowed not to particpate in the war. He had motivated Arjun to fight the war . Bheeshma was fighting a just war on behalf of Duryodhan only to honour his words [vow]. War was going on in its pace without seemingly any conclusive effects. This had upset Krishna [ God never gets upset, one gets upset only when something out of our control is bound to happen or happening or there may be fear of such events, these qualities cannot be attributed to Lord] Thus this act of Krishna is surprising. Bheeshma was just overwhelmed at the prospect of getting Killed by Vaudev and runs to embrace death. But Arjun halts Lord and persuades him to occupy his seat as sarathi.
So what was the purpose of this rash display?
If Krishna wished that Mahabharath should be decisive war , he can very well make it as all the warriors were his pratbimbas and souls under his command. He could have just spearheadeda fierce war within one of his devotees [ Arjun for instance was specially motivated for it].
Wasn't there a display of faultering on his words[ which God never does , but he threatened to do so , for whom and or what purpose?]
Was Bheeshma so invincible that he could be extolled by Lord in this manner . or was he angry on the Bheeshma for disrupting his intentions?.
Lord krishna is present in everybody's heart , he drives them to perform karma . But he never forces them , he creates ample opportunities to devlop the jeeva into a gyani and base his actions on pure knowledge , knowledge that gives insight into the mode of operation [karma] in accordance with hari 's intentions. Arjun had promised to wage a sincere war , but was very inefficiently fighting against Bheeshma , this was in no way a dharma yudhdha, Both Beeshma were behaving as if they were foirced to fight [as they cannot go against Krishna] and yet were not fully interested in fullfledged war. Bheeshma had a smaal hope that after few days of fight both sides will forget enemity and reunite. Arjun was in no mood to vanquish Grandsire [ it was akin to a freindly duel between the young and the old pals.] This was what upset Krishna heavily , one must abide by the lord , from the heart and not just by lip service. seriousness had left good senses of both the warriors . Thus krishna declared , " do not think I am dependent on you people to finish this war , if not adhered to the order [dharma] the I would myself finsih this in a second. [ While giving discourse of Geeta , Krishna had repeatedly told that I have decided to kill these kaurava and hence they are already dead. You will kill them Arjun , even if you fail to listen to my advice I shall get these evil killed , that too by your own hands , know thy to be subservient to me, but You shall attain hell ! but if willingly and with knowledge you perform this act , you shall gain fame and heaven and my apprecaitin] . This was what Arjun reminded again by this act. Hereafter Arjun fought with greater vigour. And Bheeshma gave away the desire to hold the post.
Those who are desirous of victory in war must meditate Lord as Chakradhar. When faced with many enemies this meditation will give immediate relief.

Omnipotence

• Narayana is present everywhere! how?
• He is infinite insize . All jeevas are finite in the size.
• LaxmiDevi is also infinite insize.In this attribute she is equal to the Lord.
• Now when wesay infinite ,isit unidimensional ? no !
• God is infinite in infinite dimensions
• When he is present everywhere ,He is still capable of making himself available as finite [person in avatar]
• As vasdev he is vyapta,supports the universe ,yet he can appear within himself.
• While moving .God does not move like we move from oneplace to the other.When we move our movement is conspicuous by our absence at previous place.In case of God his movement does not pre-empt the previous presence.
• Thus he can appear anywhere without delay.
• Thus he can witness the entire world and everyperson simulataneously.
• This is achintyadbhutshakti of Narayana

Kashi Kshetra

One who dies in a kashi kshetra attains the Moksha! This is true , Lord Shiva has spent entire kalpa praying vishnu sahsra nama day and night in this place, When Lord appeared he asked a boon for the benefit of mankind that he who dies here whether it be a insect animal or man , be granted moksha . Lord Ram granted that of those who die here he will attain moksha for whom the Shiva himself will give upadesha of taraka mantra personnaly in his ears. 

This mantra was given to Shiva by Bramha . One who attains such a good fortune will live as sayujya of Shiva in amukta kashi and finally attain sayujya of Vishnu in Vaikuntha.

Tripur vijay

Shiva killed tripurasur . Vishnu and others became his weapons . This incident some highlight to exalt Shiva. But Vishnu and others give weapons their tejan[ agnigolak]  . As this weapon was under the supervision of Shiva it can be concluded these being subordinate to Shiva . But this is against vedas . This subservience of weapons has come as a boon to Shiva as a result of reciting Vishnupanjar stotra . It is not a natural characteristics of Shiva. Also Shiva kills Tripurasur by recting Vishnumantras . He asks for a boon to be the head of all animals , pashupati and being a Devashuka I should be able to kill Tripur . These are all well recorded in Kurma Purana.

The misuderstood portions are actuall from Kashikhanda of Skanda Purana which are deemed as Tamas Purana. Karna Parva of Mahabharath also stresses that it is Vishnu who is always present in Shiva [ and also by savouring the rasayana during vrushabhavatar as per Bhagavat ] Shiva could vanquish Tripurasur.

Narayana ,the embodiment of mercy

Narayana is merciful . But we out of ignorance usually blame him to be partial, hardhearted and one who does not care to improve the lotr of his devotee[we in context]. This usually happens when we try to pray ,more than pray obesessively demand from the God ,relief from the present difficult situation . If relief is not to be seen immidiate , then most of the people complain , the more devoted we are the more diffciulties are arising. The less devoted and sinners are making merry.
But this is not true.Narayana is merciful . he is atyant dayalu. The Bhagvat proclaims his merciful nature in every chapter . The reading of Bhagavat is recoomended only to bring out that steady and resilient mind about God's merciful nature and complete faith in him.
The response of God is directly proportional to our faith in him. Our faith should come out of Knowledge and devotion. and not on mere histrionics. The more firm our faith is the more quicker and stronger will be his grace on us. But at the same time He also bestows a blanket cover of safety on all propspective devotees as well .This can be only known by those who after having gone through an entire lifetime goes into introspection ,one definitely agrees that Gpd has been protective all through.
At the end of the day , the diffciulties are only way where he washes out our sins , firms up pour knowledge and faith in him. The more we have a doubt in our minds , the more miseries we face. even slightest doubts results into a misery.
Bheemasena is only person [jeevottama] who nurtures no doubt . rest all the beings have some or the other doubts on the Lord.
Satyaki thought Arjuna was equal to Krishna , Yudhisthira thought Krishna could not vanquish Jarasandha , Arjuna thought him at times as friend ,Nakula sent Krishna a notice to release tax in favour of Hastinapur ,dwaraka being subordinate state,Sahadev thought Krishna was the main reasons for all the miseries they were facing , even if he could avoid it he did not !
so on ,every one nurtures some ill will towards HIM , and this forms the rreason for miseries and further birth.
So one must study the shastras as per Srimadanand teertha to dispel all the doubts and gain Aparoksha Gyana

Gangasnana

Gangasnana gives one moksha. How?
By gangasnana one cleans up ones sins .When cleansed off sins , one's heart is pure [ shuddha antahkaran ] this facilitates the inclination towards right knowledge . this also induces one to read shastra or listen to puranic lore . This leads to Bhakti towards Narayana. Bhakti makes one make efforts towards Moksha and Bimbasakshatkara. This leads to Moksha . Thus ganga snana lays foundation towards Moksha. But mere Ganga snana does not one makes one go to vaikuntha. If somebody's questions after taking a dip in Ganges and asks " Look am I in Vaikuntha ?" This is the answer by Srimadananda Teertha.

NARA in NARAYANA -AJAMIDHA

Ajamidha at the time of death , looked at his son named Narayana , he called him affectionately but could only utter nara , yet he attained moksha .Ajamidha had spent all his life in sins yet a last minute rememberance of lord gave him Moksha.
is it really possible?
Even greatest of Yogis fail to remember Lord in his full capacity and glory at the time of death . They somehow get attracted to some thing mundane [ like jad bharath getting attached to a deer] and go to that loka after death. Then ajamidha managed to remeber God at the time of deth . One who could not even spare time to do normal bramhinical duties all his life how could he immidiately recall the need to remember God at the death via his son's name.
Lesson obviously in the story is to keep the names of offsprings as that of lord Vishu to gain as much punya as possible and at the death a possible call to a son might result in callto the lord.
But in case of Ajamidha , he recalled the entire vedas at a strtch with the meaning of OM through nara and immediately his sins got burnt and instead of Yamaduta , Vishnuduta carrued him to Vaikuntha.
As in previous posts it is neccessary to remind that one gets moksha only after h has exhausted prarabdha. In case of Ajamidha [he was aparoksha gyani] only papa prarabdha was left . Thus he sinned all through his life[ as aparoksha gyanis do not have to bear the consequences of future papa as well , ther is no papa lepa] he could be brought back to mainstream muktiyogya gati by a novel means of calling the Lord's name at death ensuring Moksha. This highlights the merciful nature of Lord Narayana , who forgives the sins of a bhakta and grants him moksha by mere thought at death.

Haridarshan

• People say one gets moksha by seeing the God.
• Many Yogis meditate to see the lord .
• Many engage in the penace to get a glimpse of God.
• But Krishna was seen by everyone in the Mahabharath
• Why did everyone not go to moksha
• Duryodhana also saw the Lord
• Why diod he not go to Moksha.instead he went to andhatamas.

Seeing Lord is definitely the last step in attaining the Moksha.But Lord has to be remembered with complete knowledge and devotion [ to one's extent of capacity] . this capacity if not acquired then one always makes some kind of mistake in understanding the Lord ,even when he is present before us or in the mind in the dhyana.

Hwen we completely understand him to best of our capacity and then when we recite Om with complete understanding [nidhidhyassana of all the concepts [guna] of God as per our complete swarup gyana after aparoksha] then such a recitation will cause openeing of sahasrara AND moksha.

In avatar due to our karma and lesser understanding , even when we see him we may mistake him for a relative ,friend ,or human. our mind cannot be completely be conscious of his almightiness . Even the greats like yudhisthira and Arjun faltered on this . Thus they were coreccted by th Mukhyaprana.

So Knowledge is more important than seeing the God. Gyan comesd by upasana of Mukhyaprana and vedvyasa. .

Duryodhan and others though only of hate when they saw krishna and thus it resulted in narakaIts frought with danger with less knowledge when faced with lord . thus even greats have trembled fearing his displeasure . and declared " oh lord we are incapable of praying you as we do not know your glory , kindly give us the knwoledge to pray you and praise you " .

Antaryami

Prahlad had a dream that Lord would appear to him in the form of Narsimha. Firmly believing it , he started meditating on it. He also induces other rakshasha students into bhakti of hari. Finally when His father asked him if his God was present in the pillar , he affirmed , with his sword Hiranyakashipu broke the pillar , but Narsimha emerged from it and killed the Hiranyakashyap. Lord was in a ferocious form , all the dieties had gathered to pray Narsimha , but none had enough courage to approach the lord. He was akin to pralaya rudra which makes a hat out of te bosy of Rudra the ahankar tattva.
Thus everyone made Prahlad as frontrunner to pacify Lord as it was on his request that lord appeared. Lord licking prahlad affectionately , asked him to ask for a boon. Prahlad denied. As his bhakti was nishkaam one and he desired nothing but lord 's bhakti. Lord repeatedly persisted in coaxing prahlad to seek a boon. He offered him three worlds' lordship , even moksha etc but prahlad refused to seek them . After much insisitence Prahlad spoke thus " oh lord , externally you seem to be coaxing me to seek a boon , but internally [ as antaryami you seem to be inspiring otherwise] ,oh lord this is but your leela , you are the regulator of minds of the people .

note : even our minds are regulated and controlled by the Lord. thus externally when he apppears to be asking to seek the boon , internally he inspires the people to go according to Dharma . Dharma is nishkaam karma. satvik bhakti . karma only for Vasudev prithyartham.

Gayatri and surya

Some say Sun is the main deity prayed by gayatri . But puranas say , Sun is troubled by Mandeh Rakshasas during sandhya . Valkhilya rishis give gayatri  arghya during sandhya and mandeh gets killed giving relief to the Sun. THe mantra which gives relief to Sun how can it be guided by Sun.Sun himself is protected by this mantra. So sun cannot be prime deity of Gayatri . Its Narayana in the Sun who is meditated as gayatri. Sun is his pratima [idol] ,just as idol in the temple is not god ,but God resides in it ,similraly sun is not gayatri , Gayatri resides in Sun.

note : at every instant some place on the earth is experiencing the sunset or sunrise , thus Mandeh trouble Surya all the while and Valkhilya rishis who adorn the wheel of the Chariot of Sun are ever engaged in this arghya dana. Gayatri protects Sun all the time.

Mantra Rushi Chandas

Mantras are seen [drashtar] by the deities and rishis . Lord hayagreeva is the moola rishi for all the mantras. Subsequently they are seen by Bramha , Indra ,Guru ,chandra and varun agni etc. Rishis then see them and became popular in the world as initiators of mantra.

• While chanting mantra ,rishi is remembered by touching the head . It signifies as "I bow to you oh rishi who has given me this mantra for my benefit".
• Then chandas is uttered by touching the mouth signifying " May chando devata help me utter the verses or mantra in specific meter properly"
• Then the heart is touched mentioning the devata of the mantra signifying " Oh Lord I MEDITATE on you in my heart "
• Mahalakshmi is the presiding deity of all the chandas.
• The chandas gayatri is 24 syllables presided by Saraswati ,bharati,swaha
• ushnik is 28 syllable presided by Sangya
• Anushtup- 32 - rohini
• brahati- 36- tara
• pankti - 40 - wife of mitra varun
• tristup - 44 - shachi
• jagati - 48 - varuni
• For all vedmantras rigvedis should know Indra as rishi
• Yajurvedis should know surya as rishi
• Saamvedis should know chandra as the rishi.
• Narayana is the Devata for all the Vedas.

• Mantras consists of syllable aum
  
• beejakshara shri etc
• naam
  
• and namaha ,swaha, vashat etc
• Aum represents Vishnu
• Shri etc Mahalakshmi
• SHri also means one who is always wealthy [nitya srimantha]
• Only Lord Vayu is nitya srimantha
• thus shri also means Mukhyaprana
• Nama is of the deity whose mantra we recite
• namaha is the naman bowing [namaskar] that we mentally offer
• Thus every mantra itself declares that deity in question whom we are praying be pleased with us and thus be pleased the lord as present in Vayu in that deity
• Thus being pleased Vishnu bestow us prosperity to us.
• Those who recite mantras with this anusandhana only get results others do not !!!!
• Thus Vishnu is supreme denoted by Om followed by Lakshmi and Vayu .

Trividh artha

All veda Vakyas carry three types of meaning.

• One mainly proclaiming Vishnu
• Unimportantly [subsidarily] proclaiming the Mukhyaprana
• tertiarily the deity in question

For example if we are inspecting a line " Surya Atmajagatatsuchakshu "

• Here Surya is primarily the Vishnu who is the centre of Universe
• MUkhyaprana is also interpreted as Surya in this case
• And Finally the diety Surya can also be dependently praised through this verse.

Thus even in case of Gayatri the main deity is Vishnu , secondarily as Amukhya devata Mukhyaprana and subsequently Surya . But Surya cannot be the main deity proclaimed as Gayatri as all the names primarily to Vishnu.

Thus in all Veda verses where other dieties are praised they primarily pertain to Vishnu and tertiarily to other dieties.

Gayatri sadhana

"Dhi yo yo nah prachodayat " saying is to kindle sadbuddi [good senses] .Suryanarayana is prayed for such good senses to prevail. Of all the achievements in life ,gaining good senses [sadbuddi] is paramount . Without good mind all the material benefits gained are of no use. They do not sustain long and quickly dwindle away. Acts done with sadbuddi are longlasting . All the benefits to be of use to us and society they must accompany good sense ,such deployment of resources with sadbuddi can only be of general well being . Thus gaining of sadbuddi is foremost in accomplishing anyfeat by an individual , such acquirig of sadbuddi is aided by Gayatri and hence is of paramount importance to human beings.

Mother Gayatri

We take birth from the womb of our mother .Our physical journey starts with this birth. Once gayatri mantra is given to us we take another birth .Our spiritual journey starts with this birth from devi gayatri. The light of knowledge is lit herefrom .Those who do not take care of their mother ,however good they may be, however illustrious their career  may be, however peak fame they attain ,yet their achievements are fruitless , nullified by God . Society does not acknowledge such feats as against neglect of mother .Similarly whatever knowledge is gained without the japa of gayatri ,All the sadhana neglecting Gayatri upasana is fruitless.It is akin to neglect of mother. One must always practice Gayatri.

Yogashastra Saara

Mumukshus resort to the practise of Yogashastra to achieve special abilities and gradually Moksha .One who practises yoga he is relieved of all sins day by day .ChittavruttiNIrodha ,this type of yoga enables one to achieve dhyan of Lord Narayan even amidst daily chores of life.

• By the pranayama namely Rechaka ,Puraka,Kumbhaka
• Yama niyama like ahimsa satya asteya bramhcharya aparigraha etc
• Chakshuradi Indriya Nigraha [control of senses]
• Dharana of type Khandasmruti [ability to concentrate in bits and pieces and regular intervals]
• Gaining control over antahkarana
• when one attains Dhyana of Sri Narsimha as the one who is without destruction, lord of everyone ,holding Gada [mace] , atisukshma among sukshma , complete with knowledge and happiness and one who controls the whole universe one attains samadhi.
• When one sitting in a lonely place ,concentrating on small light  the inner heart where the Lord of Lords Srinarayana resides ,That Lord knows all the minds of people ,resides in everyone's heart and one who can burn all the people like arani ,one must meditate this lord as ourselves subservient to him.
• This meditation should continue till aparoksha and even after that varnashrama dharma [karma] must not be left.
• Relinquishing the desires is TAPA , and the knowledge of difference between Jeevatma and Paramatma is VIDYA .Each without the other is like chariot without horses or horses detached with chariot .
• Just as rice is mixed with honey , these Tapa and vidya together forms best medicine for  disease named samsara.
• Just as two wings of birds enables it to rise towards its goal , these wings tapa and vidya in coherence gives the goal named Moksha.
• Vidya and tapa and Yoganishtha  as prescribed by Muni Harita ,when practised by Bramhin ,he very soon leaves his sthoola deha and lingadeha and achieves the Vaikuntha.

Tvam Aashcharyosi Dhanyosi!

Shri Krishna alongwith his wives was dwelling in Dwaraka ,and all the kings of the time alongwith Kauravas and pandavas came to meet him on the Raivat mountain . Just as there was a big gathering , sage Narada came by and uttered " Tvam Aashcharyosi Dhanyosi" ,SriKrishna said "Dakshinabhissakam" ! everyone around surprised by this conversation asked LOrd to explain . Lord ordered Narada to explain ,he said thus:

• I had gone to Ganga and said " you are the superior ,none is equal to you " .Ganga said Varun is superior to me .
• I went to Varun and he said , I am supported by Uma Sauparni and Varuni named Prithvi .they are superior
• I went to Uma and she said the Parvat named Garud Shesha and Rudra is superior
• I went to Garuda and said you are wonderful [ashcarya] He said Bramha is more wonderful than me .
• I went to Bramha and said "you are most wonderful " He said my mother Vedabhimani Srimahalakshmi is Prakruti and more wonderful and superior"
• I expressed Vedaabhimani Lakshmi as most wonderful but she declined saying my husband who presides over Yagnya is Shri Narayana is most wonderful and superiormost"
• Thus as there is no difference between mool Narayana and his avatara ,I came to Sri Krishna and said " Tvam Aashcharyosi Dhanyosi"
• Lord said " Dakshinabhissakam" means
• Not only am I superior to all the beings but also my wife Dakshina is superior to all the beings. She is Savadhik superior and my superiority is Niravadhik.
• She being the part of his half of the body [ardhsharir] she is known as dakshina , she is in srivatsa as veda ,She is sitting on his lap as jnyana ,she is always near him as yagnya .
• thus jada tartamya is explained
• Ganga as wayer is superior to bodies
• Samudra is superior to water
• Prithvi is superior to samudra
• Parvat is greater than prithvi
• Mahattatva is greater than Parvat
• Veda is superior to Mahattatva
• The meaningful recitation of Veda is Yagnya
• Ritvij reciting Veda is entitled to Dakshina
• It is leads to Gnyana and
• finally God Narayana is superior most .

Gyana Ichcha Kriya

Lord Narayana does not force the soul jeeva to enact any karma . On the contrary he has leased his  independence with respect to Gyana ,ichcha and kriya to the jeeva. So when a desire occurs in a jeeva ,his buddhi analyses with available gyana about the status of desire and then according to the conducive circumstance [ external anukula paristithi , which exists or acts as per our poorva janma karma] ,he makes a kriya [efforts] . Now nothing is forced onto him in this process. Jeeva is independent when it comes to desire . One can desire anything ,nothing stops from desiring . Nothing stops you from making efforts either. everybody is free to try out his luck .

But what differentiates one from another is Gnyana . It is knowledge that makes the difference between different people in pursuing their goals. Person with higher knowledge approaches a goal differently than a less knowledged soul at any given point.

Now we have a means to accumulate knowledge .Knowledge is  the only wealth that no thief can steal from us. Our actions though inspired by Lord [who is complete and of independent knowledge] yet we set out our actions as per our local knowledge [distinctly different from Lord] . This gyana is ever increasing birth after birth and experience after experience ,it fortifies . Our acts also so improves as per our gyana. Thus our ability to sin or punya is limited to gyana. One must make maximum efforts to gain gyana.

Thus lesser knowledged suffers more than the one with more kowledge. Mukhyaprana [Hanuman] has complete knowledge and hence he is untouched by grief. Lord gives knowledge when one performs nishkaam karma.

Bhagavat Purana

A seed is sown in the soil and watered ,it springs into a tree with a strong stem ,branches ,leaves and Flowers . It will be laden with Fruits . Ripe sweet Fruits are the essence of the Tree in toto . The Fruit which has been bit [tasted]by  a Parrot is particularly [assuredly] very  sweet. Tasting such sweet fruit brings sense of pleasure and immense bliss.This is what is known in the world about the trees to us.

In philosophical world [vedic vangmaya] there is a Kalpavriksha tree which grows :

When seed of gnyana is sown in the soil[field of mind] and nourished with Bhakthi [devotion] , trunk named Vedas spring up ,with barks as upanishats and branches as rig, yajus ,sama ,atharva and many shakhas , upavedas and leaves of innumerable shastras [ when taken shelter under it, it gives cool shade and solace ] ,It has fragrant flowers of many Vidyas  and puranas as Fruits ,which contain the entire essence of Vedas . Of these various puranas , some are very ripe, And that which has been bit[tasted] by the Parrot named Shukamuni is assuredly very sweet ,It is Bhagavata Purana because it gives immense bliss named MOKSHA.

Note : Shukacharya ,son of Vedavyasa had a face of that of parrot , He was the first to learn Bhagavat and first to give discourse on it to Parikshit Grandson of Arjun , WHo after listening to it in seven days attained Moksha.

Karma phala

Narayana is supreme Parmatma ,independent and jeeva is dependent .Everything is done by the grace of God .Everything is done by HIM and whole world ,our circumstances and consequences are all under HIM , Then why he adjudicates karma phala to us and makes us suffer or enjoy attributing it to US the soul[jeeva]?

The answer to this lies in gayatri " Dhiyo yah na prachodayat" !

God does not get acts from us by force or by making us helpless . He makes a soul act by inspiring his mind [buddhi]. This is known as prachodan . Man faces certain circumstances because of karma , God inspires his mind under these circumstances [through tatva devatas and rakshasas ] Soul owing to his nature and buddhi reacts to the situation through his ichcha ,kriya and gnyana shakti [which are datta swatantra by GOD], Thus his reaction results in karma phala and its subsequent lepa to the soul. This karma phala is attributed to soul because Jeeva out of his own buddhi attributes this to himself as 'I' and 'mine' .

If jeeva attributes it paramatma with 'krishnaarpana' then he will not undergo the karmaphala  consequences.

Akaash

• There are two akaash 1.Bhutaakaash 2. Avyakta Akaasha.
• Bhutakaash is one of the panchabhutas and is within the bramhanda.
• Avyakta akaash is outside the boundary or periphery of bramhanda
• Bhutaakaash is presided by Ganapati , Brihaspati and vasudeva.
• Avyaktaakash is presided by Laxmi devi and Narayana.
• Bhutaakaash  is primarily responsible for support of the lokas.
• Vasudeva in akaash supports the lokas.
• Bhutakaash manifests in shabda .
• Shabda exhibits the Akshara
• These also exist in shrotrendriya
• Both akaash and shabda are present in the ear.
• Akaash upachayen Shabdotpatti [ movement/disturbance in space gives rise to sound]
• Thus Blessings of Ganapathy is neccessary to success in study of shabdashatra.
• Ganapati can also be appeased by meditating in the akaash linga ie ,space between eyebrows and throat , or just above the jivhamula.
• Mind is also made of akaash
• Akaash takes the shape that which is rendered to it.
• Thus thoughts are modifications or impressions on  akaash
• Thus there can be as many thoughts as possible
• The thoughts can change as quickly as possible
• If for any reason akaash in the mind is stabda [still] the last impression becomes stagnant in the mind and man becomes unrealistic.[Manoroga]
• Thus for a good mind and sound study let us all pray Ganapathy antargata mukhyapranantargata Vishwambhar moorthy .

Bimba Pratibimba

Bimba is the God present in our heart . The jeeva is Pratibimba. Jeeva is shodashakala gynamaya swaroop deha . The one who resides inside the swaroopa as Paramatma is Bimba moorthy Narsimha. He is like the string that supports the flowers in a garland. He is like a fragrance in a flower He supports the entire universe and present in all the jeeva.

Bimba murthy of Ganesh will be like that of Elephant head [Vishwambhar] .Bimba moorthy of Sesha will be like that 1000 hood Sarpa.Similarly for Garuda it will be like  Bird. So God exists everywhere in different forms. Our bimba will be according to our swaroopa in Mukti as per our Yogyata . Though a serpent or animal faced BImba we can still be in a human form now.

Only nija swa atma guru can only give us a the real bimba dhyana , After this upadesha Bimbopasana starts and after many years of Bimbopasana Aparoksha is obtained.

Aparoksha entitles one to see everywhere God , Every human that see , we see the bimba performing in him and not the jeeva. Thus it is a state of very high electic happiness as we see Lord act everywhere and there is no lepa .

Aitareyopanishat-Three Births

Narayana enters the human body through food.This food becomes retas in the MAN . This retas is the essence of the man arising out of all of his limbs. It is held within oneself.

When this retas is sprinkled in a woman ,It is the first birth.This becomes a part of the woman as her other limbs .hence She should not be troubled by the husband. Woman should take care of her womb as the presence of divine in her.A woman who thinks thus ,should be taken care of.He who respects the mother and the son in the womb ,worships God present in the womb obtains all the wishes.

The birth of the son is the second birth from the womb onto the earth.The God in the son remains on the earth for sometime doing karma on behalf of the father. Then the God present in the father leaves him along with the jeeva and attains urdhwa loka.

When he is born in another place ,it is the third birth. Thus Vishnu protects the jeeva all through his births.

Note : When a man leaves  his retas in a woman , a part of him enters the woman , woman carries her husband's amsha. This is pratham janma . When woman gives birth , son born though a different jeeva also carries his father's amsha . Thus child is the father. This dwitiya janma . Here this amsha remains in the son and it is because of this amsha , whatever man does karma it is also distributed or experienced by the father. When father leaves this world , his amsha leaves with him ,remains with him in all the swarga and other lokas.When he is born elsewhere it is the third janma . But earlier amshas continue to reap benefits of the karma ,Thus god enables one to reap the karma through progeny in all the janma and runanubandha remains intact even if he is born elsewhere. The shraddha that he performs reaches him though he is born elsewhere and is unconnected physically ,his amsha stays connected with the help of Pitru devatas.

OM-Pranava

• Om means one who is complete [sampoorna].
• OM is made up of letters A U M .
• A represents the state of awakening
• U represents the state of sleep
• M represents the state of dead
• A is the vishwa
• U is the taijas
• M is the Pragnya
• There is also a fourth state known as Turiya .
• All these states are under the control of the God
• Infact OM has eight syllables according to Shruti
• Now eight syllables  A U M Naad Bindu Ghosh Shaant Atishant
• These syllables are the manifestation of the rupas of Narayana
• They are Vishwa Taijas Pragnya Turiya Atma  Antaratma Gyanatma Paramatma .
• Realisation of the OM with respect to entire eight rupas only entitles one to Moksha
• OM CONVEYS ENTIRE VEDAS.
• From Om emanates entire syllables
• Akshara that emanate from OM like A E U ..... Ll Ksha etc are all Hari rupa .
• A is Ajaay namaha .............Ll is Llalukaya namaha
• Only sanyasi is ordained to meditate on OM the Pranav Mantra.

Karma & Gnyana

Shri krishna stresses importance of gnyana in Bhagavadgeeta .Arjun asks " if gnyana is so shreshtha [great] then why do you insist on doing Karma[ a bhayankar one at that ,namely war]waging a war towards kith and kin.
Here Arjuna is insisting he is not interested in War , he is more interested in knowledge that would ensure Moksha. But Shri Krishna says that leaving battlefield even for the sake of Knowledge and MOksha would lead him To hell , for a Kshatriya a war is most sacred than retiring to Forests.

Note : Most people keep claiming caste is not by birth but by qualities , anyone exhibiting qualities can take on the duties of the caste! ! !
For all such people ShriKrishna is sending a message that what is ordained has to be carried out.
Arjuna here felt strong desire for Gaining Knowledge and distaste for violence[ that too in the middle of battlefield]. Here he was exhibiting Bramhin like qualities of ahimsa and gyanarjan . He could have been ordained bramhinic status on account of his qualities and allowed to practise Tapa ,but Shri Krishna says You are Kshatriya and such thoughts do not suit you , you would get disgrace, ill fame on account of such act and would be labelled coward. WHY?
because a bramhin is a one who is born to both bramhin mother and bramhin father and also should have samskara of Bramhin , both are neccessary conditions and one in isolation does not qualify one to be a bramhin.

So Arjuna being born as Kshatriya Himsa was his dharma and war was his karma [vihit karma]
The beauty in the Bhagavadgeeta is that
what has been ordained as KarmaYOGA is actually accumulation of Gnyana !
What is Gnyana Yoga is actually carrying out duties as Karma with full accurate Knowledge.

So this sets pretext to the concepts of Karma Akarma and vikarma
Vikarma should not be resorted to !
Akarma is not possible at all
Karma [as per varna and ashrama dharma]should only be performed
This karma has to be a Nishkaam Karma
Nishkaam Karma leads to yathartha Gnyana.
Yathartha Gnyana leads to Paroksha Gnyana
Paroksha Gnyani after blessings of the Vayu and recommendation of SriMahalakshmi attains Aparoksha .
Aparoksha assure Moksha.

For all this Narayana's own will and grace is responsible and this is not got by any efforts of the Soul.
Once God decides " Yen Mochayami" I am going to grant Moksha to this soul , his spiritual journey starts.
So one gets MOksha only by the GRACE of the LORD NARAYANA .

Ram Mantra

RAM -The name of the lord born as son of Dasharath is in itself a mantra. It is the best mantra available to tide over samsara.

• Ram means one who attracts the minds of one and all
• Ram means one who fulfills all the wishes of his devotees
• Ram means one who always gives happiness to his consort
• Ram means the  fire which burns its enemies to ashes
• Ram means one who is ideal and shows the righteous path
• Ram means embodiment of auspicious
• Ram means the infinite bliss
• Ram means the one who purifies
• Ram means the sacrificial fire that gives glory
• Ram means the peace that comes from within
• Ram means the greatest ever born

Ram Ram when uttered twice  becomes mahamantra .

• R- raktha [blood]
• A-asthi[bones]
• M-mamsa[muscles] gata papa kshayati
• the sins that are ingrained deep inside blood and bones and muscles/marrow[majja] are destroyed by chanting RAM once
• once destroyed these may try to re-enter
• when uttered RAM second time ,it prevents such reccurence

note : We suffer due to sins , sins are superficially ingrained onto the aura if it is less potent . When sins are grave ,they manifest into blood ,second stage would be when they penetrate human bones and lastly the sins become unbearable when they are in marrow. The more severe sins are manifested as mental disorders . the remedies to such sins are not possible , man suffers them ,only a holy saint has to take pity on these to relieve them of pain and unrest. But why worry when there is Ram mantra . just chant RAM RAM twice such sins will get destroyed and will never attack again.

There is nothing in this three world that cannot be achieved  by this mantra , it will be sheer waste of time reciting all other mantras without the knowledge of RAM mantra .Blessed is the soul who has mastered this RAM mantra by the grace of Guru Madhvacharya for his place in the abode of Purandara vittala is assured.

Slavery to Guru ensures MUKTI

What's the use of  study  of Shastras again & again ? Passionate devotion is a wasteful exercise!!

Till we become a slave to our Guru , mukti is always a distant dream !!!

Mukti does not come :

• by mere learning of six shastras
• by gleaning  hundreds of upanishats and purana
• by mere reciting great epics and other good moral stories
• by mere lecturing confidently the philosophies
• by merely displaying a mala of tulasi/rudraksh
• by chanting crores of mantras through  japa mani in the palm
• by undisturbed  smear of the bhasma on the body
• by wandering into forests as ascetics
• by shunning the conjugal happiness of a woman
• by detaching bodily felicity and grooming

Mukti can only be had by reaching the abode of Purandar vittala [the one who has bestowed boons on Narada ] by enslaving oneself to the Great Guru Madhvacharya [MukhyaPrana].

Shri Vishnu is supreme Paramatma

There is only Narayana as supreme entity and there is none equal or greater than him.

So what is the difference that exists between Soul/Atman and Paramatma ?

1. ParamaAtman is swatantra Independent , Atman is dependent paratantra. He is dependent on God for all his activites ,happiness ,bliss etc.
2. Paramatma is all pervading ,he does not have limitation in space.Atma  is limited in size ,it is of the size of 1/millionth part of edge of a single strand  horse's tail hair. [anurupa]
3. Paramatma exists at all times  in a same poornaavastha, Atman comes into this world after he is woken to srujya avastha by paramatma ,hence he has apoorna.
4. Paramatma gyana is infinite , Atman gyana is finite.
5. Paramatma does not undergo any organic changes in his body .Atman acquires a body and undrgoes organic changes of this body.
6. These changes bring about changes in the anubhuti of the Atman in realising self , Paramatma's anubhuti is not different from him.
7. Atman is either stree or Purusha [male or female] ,Paramatma is both male as well as female.
8. Atman as a male is dependent on Paramatma and female Atman for its sukha[ happiness] , Paramatma is swarata ,He enjoys his own rupas  ,His Narayani female rupa is present in the Laxmi devi and He gives happiness to her through this rupa with his Purusha rupa.
9. Atman undergoes Samsara [ life cycle of birh and deaths] Paramatma is never born nor dies.
10. Atman has to do sadhana to achieve its realisation of self ,Paramatma has no binding onto himself ,he has Achintyaadbhut Shakti[ making impossible possible]

Sri Raghavendra Gurusarvabhouma

SriRaghavendra swamy fulfills the desires of the devotee instantly.

• How are desires fulfilled?
• There are so many saints and others who are also known for fulfilling desires. what is difference in these and Sri Raghavendra Swamy?
• What is the extra benefit that is assured in following SriRaghavendra Swamy?

1. Desires are fulfilled with the aid of Punya.
1. Punya has to be operating when desires occur in our mind ,then they get fulfilled . We say " I was lucky i got everything I desired
2. If you dont have punya then options left are
1. You kill your desires ,resorting to vedanta or some other kind of udaseenata.
2. Else you strive for it with hard work
1. you undertake upasana/vrata etc
2. You simply request your elders[capable] to get it for you.
3. The type of punya acquired determines the quality of enjoyments .
2. There are so many saints ,why only SriRaghavendra ?
1. As discussed earlier type and quality of enjoyments is of paramount importance.
2. when we pray /approach some saint/devata/babas/etc these saints.../.... etc can grant us a boon in two ways
1. their prayer should entitle us to accumulation of Punya  or gaining of merits
2. or these saints should be capable of creating it for us.
3. the accumulation can occur only when such pooja prayer is ordained in vedas puranas and the saint/devata etc are PuranaPurusha.
4. ie Strotras and suktas of devatas in Vedas give by themselves enormous punya to the self.
5. Most of the babas are not mentioned in purana or veda.
6. such babas can give results by giving their punya [if at all they have some]
7. or by magic[it can vary from indrajal to maya to bhuta vidya]
8. Yogis give punya by siddhi [ animaadi etc]
3. On the whole a saint has to give it from his pocket/balance etc.
4. That he should have acquired some merits himself.
5. This he must have acquired in his previous births only.
6. That means if he was an ordinary person in his previous birth his punya would have been ordinary and thus the results that one gets after getting this punya will also be ordinary .
7. Sometimes these punyas would have been tainted with some papa [on account of sinister intention ] , so we are also destined to get some grief on account of this sinister intention. If this is really big then you are actually inviting unhappiness in exchange for a small desire fulfillment. [ a great risk].
8. No person is perfect and hence his punya will not be perfect , thus desires fulfilled by these imperfect souls[babas] will also end in disappointments after a little wishful moments. however ignorant of the cause and out of greed of fulfilment ,you again and again revisit the same baba ,lifelong. and your list of woes become unending and repetitive .You get caught into a vicious circle of mixed happiness[ you keep circling in samsara by the grace of menial babas /saints]
9. These are Rajas Saints as per Bhagavadgeeta
10. When such meetings always bring unhappiness and misfortunes then know for sure ,you are in the company of Tamas saints.

Sri Raghavendra swamy was earlier Prahlad [he is Purana Purusha].Praying him will give both natural punya as ordained by Shastras and at the same time ,  The saint himself has promised instant punya from his account .
What is the quality of Punya [ done by Prahalad].
Prahalad is the only bhakta who has never asked anything from the God. He is a true bhakta , whose bhakti is totally desireless. hence his punya is a pure one. Unmixed one. Such pure bhakti gives pure punya . This pure punya fulfills all desires to the complete satisfaction.
ordinary punya exhausts  after it has been enjoyed.
Pure punya gives rise to enjoyments that leads to more Pure punya.
Thus with Sriraghavendra swamy you are assured of happiness[ desires getting fulfilled without any side effects or diminishing quality].They will never bring misfortunes , unhappiness or craving for more . It will full satisfying and complete.
To elaborate more , I shall narrate a story.
Once there was a tree which fulfilled all the wishes for those who took shelter under it. A peasant came by and took shelter under the tree in a scorching sun.He wished " ah how nice it would be to have excellent shade covering my head to escape the sun. " Instantly there was a shade .
after sometimes peasant desired " ah how nice it would be if  i had brought some meals along to enjoy in this shade" instantly there was a five course meals laid down before him ." He had a good meal and suddenly he thought his wishes are getting fulfilled instantly ,he looked around and there was nothing.
So he wished again to test whether he is dreaming or is it for real " how nice it would be if i had  a cot to sit on " instantly a cot appeared . " ah how about a cool breeze" thus flowed cool breeze and peasant dozed off .
After a good nap , he got up and suddenly a thought occurred " i am alone in this forest under this tree , what if a ghost comes by !" instantly a ghost appears . " what if this kills me !!! " it kills him .
These are the qualities of kalpavriksha that can be seen in the world .
But SriRaghavendra swamy is such a Kalpavriksha who doesn't fulfill the desires which are harmful to the devotee. Infact he does not even allow such disastrous thoughts cross the minds of his devotee . He constantly guides them to unmixed happiness  helping them with his own punya where one falsl short of . There will not be an iota of unhappiness once you are a ardent devotee of SriRaghavendra swamy . Appanacharya says " asukham kinchana"  , unhappiness is on account of miseries , these never touch devotees of Raghavendra swamy . [ but then you may be unhappy because of absence of happiness, absence of misery is okay but what about absence of sukha , this can also be a unhappiness.] so he uses " asukham " that means even such absence of happiness will also not be there . that means one will be ever happy . "Natra samshaya" do not doubt this .
what's additional benefit ?
Kamalanatha: prasadodayat   . In this world Only Vishnu can assure a Moksha for the devotees  and No other deities can give Moksha . But by the grace of Narsimha , Prahalad has been granted a boon of recommending  Moksha to his followers. Thus he can assure Moksha for all of us.
SaKshi Hayasyotra hi . These words told by appanacharya bear the testimony and  sanction  of Lord Hayagreeva himself .
Note: It is very difficult to achieve Moksha , one must learn all the shastras by heart , must have analysed them [its easy to know them but difficult to understand], test  them and then one start his sadhana ,keeping unattached to all the karmas ,vighna,and helplessness towards miseries that occur in this world and in future births again and again.
even after learning all the shastras the real understanding of LOrd is rarely possible as this mind is very fickle and it wavers . even if we manage all these ,It is very rare that God will remain in the heart forever[state of samadhi] , the process becomes an exhaustive exercise, and sometimes we wonder why at-all  all this ,cant there be a  one step phenomena towards Moksha.
SriRaghavendra swamy is the only saint who has come down to simplify this whole exercise to a n enjoyable outing on this earth in this birth and yet another in the Vaikuntha.
All we need to do is like a good child who trusts none but his parents and sticks his tiny plam towards the little finger of his parents and he is assured he is not going to get lost.
Oh SriRaghavendra Gurusarvabhouma , i the child of this tatvavada lineage hold your finger , and I know whe the doors of the Vaikuntha opens You will be the first to be let in , you never leave the hand of those who have faith in you ,like a child i would also follow you to Vaikuntha by the grace of Bharathi ramana mukhyapranantargata sri Lakshmi Narsimha .

SriRaghavendra Swamy of Mantralayam

Sri Raghvavendra swamy of Mantralayam is still in yogic asampragyat samadhi in the Vrundavana at Mantralayam.[it means he is still inside the Vrundavan at the temple.] He would be there till 700 years from the day he entered the Vrundavana. Why is he still living in a mortal form on the earth ? what makes him bound in the Brundavana? Why has he not left to the celestial abode immediately?

• Prarabdha and anishta punya are two major reasons for this choice of state.
• I say choice of state because ,just saying state would mean a compulsion or binding on Mantralayam seer out of some irrevocable consequence.But this is not true of the great yogi who is the avatar of Prahalad .It is a matter of choice , ie. seer is sitting out of his own choice.why?
• As Prahalad ,Lord Narsimha had flung open the doors of Vaikuntha , but Prahlad refused to go to Vaikuntha.
• Prahlad insisted to stay back and lead all the deserving  followers onto the path towards Vaikuntha .
• only then together with his followers he would like to go to Vaikuntha.
• Thus Prahlad chose to be born as Bahlika ,Vyasathirtha and Raghavendra Swamy.
• so he has a choice not compulsion to stay back.
• Now what is his purpose in staying back?
• A man has 1 sanchita 2 prarabdha 3. Agami karma
• when one attains Aparoksha Sanchita and Agami do not affect
• Prarabdha remains to be exhausted.
• Sanchitapunya of Aparokshagyani is distrubuted to his followers and Sanchita Papa goes to the haters abusers.
• So Raghavendra swamy has chosen his prarabdha to be on the earth in a state of samadhi and distribute his punya to all those who ask for his blessings.
• Since he has resolved to give his punya ,so only a small pooja or bhajan sung in his favour is enough to get his blessings [punya] .
• This punya will not only fulfill our wishes but also increase Gyan bhakti Vairagya instantly.
• Thus Shri Raghavendra swamy is akin to Kalpavriksha and Kamdhenu in Kaliyuga.

Every one has a Bramhin gotra only !

SriRamchandra was Vashistha Gotra , All castes have gotra but incidentallly all of them have gotra of  bramhin rishis only.why?

certainly these were not born to them ,what is Gotra?

In Tretayuga Bramhins are in majority in the world,InDwapara Kshatriyas are in Majority,both these reduce to minority in Kaliyuga.As Bramhins are born in a lineage  they acquire the gotra of that lineage. offsprings of Vashistha etc will have Vashistha etc gotra. Similarly these rishis have a sishya varga [as they had  a gurukul of their own ] all these Kshatriya moola kula had the gotra of the rishi they belonged to as pupils.Kings had or the gotra of the Purohit they were consulting. Similarly Vaishyas followed suit. Shudras being in minority served the community They engaged in selling utensils ,colours,pots etc.whichever university campus they belonged to they acquired the gotra of the kulapati.

Thus everyone has gotra and lineage to identify with.People of similar gotra do not marry unless there is difference of 10 heads[genearation ] between them .

 

Note: Infact technically we cannot attribute a Gotra to God as he is neither born not acquires a body .[the word is Pradurbhava]manifestation is what we can describe the appearance of God on earth. Just as humans grow from baby to an adult,it will be folly to assume that God grows from a baby to full grown adult. God has many roopas and he has roopas appropriate to every age,he manifests them as time surpasses giving illusion of growth to the onlookers. His intelligence and strength and other qualities also remain same full and complete in all phases .There is no caste or creed or gotra for Lord ,all these are distinctions of jeeva to indicate its apoornatva .

Still Vashishtha is considered very auspicious Gotra because Shri VedVyasa and all sooryavanshi greats belonged to it.Its the beacon light of Dharma.

kapat vairagya

Vairagya is a state of mind which is completely engrossed in the Lord . It attempts to see act of Lord in every aspect of its life. It is primarily a state in which mind dwells rather than an exhibitionist attitude.

Today most of the vairagi tend to show external symptoms .Their main aim is to fill their bellies in the disguise of vairagi . They pretend to show virakti ,

• by keeping a japamaala in the hands
• pretend to be always muttering some mantra
• sometimes put a veil to show deep meditation 
• But actually dreaming about beauty of women seen during the day
• Yet they keep claiming they are most virakta .
• some wear orange[kashaya] vastra and keep enjoying cigars and wine sitting on golden thrones .
• All these people claim vairagya [actually kapat vairagya]
• They have extreme devotion on deceitful activities .
• their behaviour is akin to a ganika performing the act of pativrata on a stage.
• but do not even have a miff of Bhakti in our Narayana [Kamalnabha].

Births Births & Births

A soul after coming to srujya avastha ,initially wanders in the yoni of [sthavar jangam lata vela] plants and  insects  [krimikitadi] and pashupakshyadi yonis. It takes roughly 100 crores of births in each to come out of this inferior births to assume human forms for the soul. In the human form it takes births into barbar ,kirat ,mlechha,yavanadi  jatis many a times [over 100 crores births in each ] to get a janma in Bharath varsha .Here again taking births chronologically in chaturvarna ,[in crores of births each ] One is born as  a vaishnava . In vaishnava kula ,the urge to study shastras in absent for many a crores of births. After such repeated births in vaishnav kula one fine day soul seeks the guidance of guru to teach him shastra. After obtaining teachings in one lakh births he tries to think about God. He develops bhakti in another thousand births ,After bhakti he starts his sadhana towards moksha , after 10000 births he attains the knowledge to perform Nishkaam karma , he prefers to become a sanyasi. 3000 such births entitle him to the path of Mokshha. This is just the beginning towards Aparoksha Gyana.

everytime he fails to obtain higher births ,he undergoes same process of dwelling in 84 lakhs yonis ,[what a colossal waste of time] , So make hay when sun shines . Utilise your human birth to consolidate |Vishnu sarvottamatva gyana  and speedily progress towards Moksha .

Anekajeeva vada

Is there only one soul or many souls in this creation. There is a section of philosophy which believes in presence of only one soul.Let us examine it.

If there is only one soul , then it must be assuming many rupas[bodies] .As we see many people in this world. However each person is different and has his own experiences. If all but only one soul exists in all these bodies then the experience in each of them should have been known to others as well. This is not seen in the practical world .

If we accept many soul [aneka jeeva vada] , then we can safely conclude that each has his own experience.

Are these souls equal?

Had they been equal , they should have all undergone similar experiences and consequences in their lives. very fact that these have varied experiences and reactions, shows souls are different from each other.

Also these souls are not independent as each is struggling to overcome grief and yet finds himself bound by a situation[samsara]. Who is responsible for it? Thus we have to accept that there is a higher being than souls who controls , binds and relieves these souls.

This higher being is known as Parmatma ,distinctly different from Atma.

krishnarpana.

This world is real.

This world created by God is real. the experience of each of us stands testimony to us.This experience cannot be false. The non existence of world is never experienced. Neither can be seen its unreal nature.

If experiences of the soul in this real world are false and unreal then the thought to come out of this unreal to some imaginary real should also be unreal.

Because , such thoughts have occurred here in this world, these thoughts should also be unreal .

How can there be pursuit of the real from a unreal thoughts?

The world, if it is maya [unreal] , whom is it binding?

is the agent[soul], it is binding, real? If it is real then how a real entity is bound by unreal?

If there is only one [soul/Bramha] , then who is Bramha?

Is this Bramha all knowing or ignorant?

If he is all knowing then why he has to make efforts to come out of ignorance?[ if at all , all souls are one and equivalent to Bramha]

Thus soul cannot be equal to Bramha for he has to come out of ignorance . Paramatma [Bramha ]is all knowing and creator distinctly different from Atma.

There is no equality [eikya] between Parmatma and Atma.

Soul can be subjected to maya and creation is a chance for him to come out of this to attain moksha.

Even in this case also his subjection to maya and subsequent sufferings are real [vexed with it ,he makes an attempt for Moksha].

if it is unreal then, his getting vexed and efforts to attain moksha will also be unreal .why would one make a unreal efforts to attain happiness.

If his efforts are unreal and his sins in maya are also unreal then words of Veda to prohibit sins and encourage Merits [punya] will also become false and unreal.[ also meaningless].

Selectively declaring few verses as right and real and others as unreal also renders Vedas meaningless.

Thus Vedas rightly declares World is real ,World is real, World is real.

Vishnu is the only God ,neither equal or greater than HIM.

all others are souls[atman/jeevas] distinctly different from him and dependent on him.

Vaali Sugreeva

Vaali sugreeva were brothers . Vaali was incarnation of Indra , Sugreeva ,of Surya. Sugreeva sought help of Rama to finish Vaali. After tests by Sugreeva ,Rama sent Sugreeva to Fight Vaali.

• Fisrt time HE did not kill Vaali.
• Sugreeva came back .
• Rama assured to kill ,put a garland to him.
• Vali was killed from behind by Rama.

Philosophy.

1. why did Rama not kill him first time ?

Rama is God ,therefore thinking he did not recognise Vaali ,is untenable. When two brothers are at loggerheads ,they usually go to any extent in fight. But once revenge is over , There is sudden surge of brotherhood . and subsequent repentance[this is the nature of blood relation].Thus one must never interfere in a brotherly squabble.Chances are they unite and treat you as an outsider and even abuse you for instigating enmity.One must always give a chance to such reversal of mindset.

Rama spared Vali for the first time to bring such reversal of mindset towards his brother.

2. Why did he kill Vaali?

Vali had taken away wealth ,wife and belongings of his brother without any fault of his. So he was liable for punishment. Ram was a Kshatriya Chakravarti King and he had moral right [as a duty] to end Vaali's life .

3. Why did he kill from behind and not in a straight war.

what Vali had done ,renders him into the category of Mrugas[animals] , Kings don't wage war against animals , they hunt them or kill them as a disturbance for forest life.

Tatva:

Vali was Indra , he had natural Bhakti towards Rama ,  more than Sugreeva. Had Rama befronted him, he would have immediately asked forgivance and Rama would be compelled to leave him alive.

But crime of Vali was he had taken birth to serve Rama and in the flow of arrogance of power and might due to boons and strength , he forgot his duty [purpose of Birth] and befriended Ravana. Also he hurt Sugreeva [a devotee] , More importantly He was standing in a camp against Hanuman. Sugreeva on the contrary had befriended Hanuman and was under his guidance.

God only sides with the one who sides with Hanuman[Vayu]. HE does not prefer to see the face of those who go against Hanuman, even if they are his devotees]. [thus he kills  Vali from behind to show going against Hanuman is unpardonable ].

[same Vali becomes Arjuna and sides with Bheema , Sugreeva becomes Karna goes against Bheema] Krishna ignores Karna and takes Arjuna very close.

Those who pray Lord Vishnu without Praying Vayu [hanuman] , God does not give any fruits ,however hard and devotionally one prays ,its of no use . God does not appear before them [like vali] and finishes them off from behind.

If you Pray Hanuman along with Vishnu only then you get your wishes fulfilled like Sugreeva and Arjuna].

Lord's arrows are nothing but Vayu himself. When Arrows pierce heart of Vali[ Vayu enters his heart] , he gets knowledge  , asks forgiveness to lord and Rama offers to give him back his life. But Vali refuses because he does not want to let go the chance of dying in the hands of Rama [which ensures Moksha].

Thus Vaali surrenders all his beloved things to the lords' feet according to the dictum " daraan sutaan priyaan ....nivedayet...."

This is what is known as Srikrishnarpanamastu .

Sama Dukha Sukham Dheeram

One must be equanimous to both unhappiness and happiness. One who attains this is [Purusha: Bramhajnani in jagruta avastha] that braveheart will not be affected by the causes and effects [as a result of interaction between indriyas and its subject/objects] ,and thus will be entitled to Moksha.

These are verses by Shri Krishna in Geeta [chapter 2 shloka 15].consoling weeping Arjuna;

When Arjuna seemingly speaks wise verses of abandoning war ,as a result of acquiring sin by killing preceptors .Arjuna raises question of what happiness are we going to get by waging war. A man lives to be happy among his kith and kin. without them no happiness would be full. attaining a all the wealth and material happiness in absence of kith and kin to share them ,is something no one wishes for.

Killing preceptors[Bheeshma ,Drona etc] and enjoying their wealth sitting on their seats  , this is akin to enjoying pleasures smeared with their flesh and blood. It is better to beg and live rather than commit this act. Even if they kill me unarmed as I am , I would not be bothered or bear any ill will towards them .

Arjuna is speaking about waging a war to get personal happiness[ enjoying kingdom of world etc] and killing the Kauravas as a loss of near and dear and hence personal unhappiness.

Krishna  elaborates the definition of Dukha and Sukha. He calls them as chitta kshobha .[disturbance of mind on account of interplay of senses].

• Krishna asks Dukha on account of what?
• loss of life to the greats
• or absence of these on account of death
• or complete destruction of their self {soul}

But as these were present earlier also , they are present now and will be present hereafter also . People lose lives and gain it back again and again , gyani does not regret these.

Absence of these should not be mourned as they are ever present as souls , death of the body is not going to put an end to their existence. opposites of warmth/cold , happiness /unhappiness victory/loss all are not permanent , they keep coming and going[occurring] in ones life,gyani does not bother about these .

Soul is never destroyed , it exists , death of the body [destruction of body is not destruction of soul] also clears its memory , soul after acquiring new body does not acquire old memories.  Thus body is soul , had it been so , then memories to each body should have been known to the soul everytime.

Thus one who is undisturbed by the activities of senses and yet performs his karma is known as Dheera [ eligible for Moksha].

Killing in the war is not for gaining happiness or Rajya ,  but it is for fighting against the God haters[tamoyogya] as clear battle line has been drawn between those who are ,for and against Krishna the Supreme.

DattaSwatantra

God is alone independent,rest all are dependent on him .The does Jeeva has any independence towards action? if no then why is there [vidhi nishedh] rules and Do's and Don't's ? For whom are they intended to? If jeeva is not independent in doing a karma ,then how can he be entitled to punishments and rewards of the karma?

The Vidhi nishedh's in Vedas are for Jeeva only because God cannot be subjected to restriction of Do's And Don't's , but they are meant for the soul ,who has to plan his Act accordingly. Where from this act is performed. This is known as Datta Swatantra . The independence given as adoption from the Lord. This Independence is only in three arenas as 1. Gyana 2. Ichcha  3 Kriya [prayatna]

So the soul can only desire as per his accumulated Knowledge and try [prayatna]. His act is actually carried out by tatva devatas in accordance with poorva karma and prayatna. He is given fruits also by these depending on the outcome carried out by Lord.

Here Jeeva wishes also by the inspiration of God ,which is Datta and has degrees of freedom embedded into it. This degrees of freedom varies with varied people . Thus a King has more freedom than a commoner by the will of the GOD. Thus jeeva performs only through desire and efforts in accordance with his limited knowledge ,yet when results appear he attributes them to the self and thus is punished or rewarded.

One who understands the Dattaswatantrya and attributes his success and failure to lord as present in Tattva devatas only gets aparoksha Gyana.

Rajsooya Yagnya

Pandavas had won the entire universe. Bheema was the chief instrument in this feat. He had won, garuda ,shesha ,Rudra, and kichaka,paundraka vasudeva,Karna ,baksura,Jarasndha who were undefeated till then and even Arjuna was not capable of  winning them . Rajasooya cannot be performed without winning everyone. Thus chief fruits of yagnya goes to Bheema . earlier bramha had done this yagnya , now only pandavas could do it.

Arjuna went to north regions and won indra , sapta dweepas, patala etc adholokas ,trigarta etc.

Nakula went to paschima disha and won all the kings. Sahadeva went to south and won all the countries. He sent ghatotkacha to  lanka and asked VIbhishana to accept superiority of Panadava as an order from Krishna . He accepted. All the kings sent their share of wealth as taxes. This wealth when collected appeared as a mountain 600 yojanas in height and width , this exceeded the size of Indraprastha. but yet by the technology of Vishwakarma this could be accommodated in a store.

Pandavas after vanquishing all by the grace of Vedvyasa ,prepared for Yagnya. All were invited to the yagnya.

Brahma , shiva, indra kama other deities came to the yagnya ,mantapa. All the kings came to the function.They had brought many gifts to Pandavas . Duryodhana was appointed to collect all the gifts. Gandharvas were singing , Apsaras were dancing , the whole universe had gathered.

1. God was present in the triple role in the yagnyashala
2. parashurama
3. vedvyasa
4. Krishna

a debate was organised to decide who is the supreme GOD. A hot discussion ensued and finally Vishnu was declared  supreme. Now Yudhisthira asked BHeeshma as to who should be first offered prayers to kick off the proceedings. Bheeshma declared Krishna should be first offered prayers.

Note: there were Bramha ,shiva  munis [saints] like durvasa ,shaunaka maitreya etc were also present etc why these were not consulted to give decision on Agrapooja ,why only Bheeshma was consulted by Yudhisthira?

Ans: Though Bramha etc were present they were appearing as humans to common men , hence decision would not be acceptable to commons who were present. Munis and rishis were all residents of forests , commoners never had a chance to see them ,hence their views would not be held in respect .Bheeshma was eldest among kuru family and was known among kings and commoners as a respectable ,knowledged and great , his decision would be acceptable and conclusive .

Why did Bheeshma declare Krishna to be worshipped first ? even Parashurama and Vedavyasa were also rupas of Vishnu . they could have been also offered worship first?

Ans. The idea was to create a controversy and give grief to those who did not consider Krishna as God. Offering worship to Parashurama or Vedvyasa could not have met with resistance as these were bramhins. Krishna appeared as Kshatriya and many did not believe he was GOD. To prove that Krishna was supreme lord and avatara of Vishnu , Bheeshma said so.

Shishupala did not like the idea and created a scene by hurling abuses on Krishna . after 100 abuses Krishna killed him through Sudarshana chakra.

Thus Krishna was offered first worship and Rajsooya yagnya was completed  with blessings of Parashurama ,Vedavyasa and Bramha and other devatas exhibiting the insurmountable grandeur of Pandavas  under the guidance of Krishna and Bheemasena.

Akshouhini

Akshouhini is the term described for chaturanga sena[army].Chaturang sena means one which has ,chariots ,elephants ,horses and soldiers.One akshouhini is

1. 170 sets of 21000 elephants
2. 170 sets of 21000 chariots
3. 610 sets of 65000 Horses
4. 9350 sets of 100000 soldiers Army.

• That makes up 108 crores of  Army in one akshouhini.
• Mahabharath was fought among 18 akhshouhini army
• Kauravas had 11 Akshouhini army
• Pandavas had 7 Akshouhini army
• some people opine akshouhini means around 200000 army
• But this does not seem to be correct as this gives as total army in Mahabharath as roughly 360000 only . But Kauravas had raised army from all over the world .And each country was known to have more than 1 lakh of army .
• Also Srikrishna was 68 years old at the time of mahabharath war. He had 16108 wives . each had borne him 10 sons and a daughter. These themselves make a 1 lakh 61 thousand + their armies ,ie Yadavas + [1000000 Narayani sena ] which fought from Kauravas side.
• Thus akshouhini cannot be just 200000 soldiers.
• Bheemasena alone single handedly killed 6 akshouhini sena in 10 days.
• that is 648 crores in 18 days
• 36 crores in a day[ average]
• 36 crores in 12 hours [ 6 am to 6 pm]
• 3 crores per hour
• around 5 lakhs per minute.
• 85000 in a second [warriors and equal amount of elephants horses]
• What kind of martial arts this could be.
• Fighting non stop 12 hours in a day and on a killing spree
• killing not just ordinary but well trained warriors
• This speaks of immense strength of Bheemasena.
• Bheeshma killed a 1 akshouhini sena in 18 days
• 120 years old man killing so many people in a war speaks a lot about yogic powers and divine nature of these yodhas.
• Indeed entire kshatriya clan was wiped out in the war .
• Most of the people born then as warriors were Devatas .
• Their offspring would be also divine in nature
• But God wanted Kaliyuga to start immediately after Mahabharata .
• These divine offsprings would never let that happen .
• hence he eliminated them in the name of war, left this world for the ordinary , and for kali to take over .
• Pandavas ruled for 35 years.
• Their son Parikshit carried on, and dynasty lasted for 1000 years.

Mukhyaprana-Jeevottama

Once all the dieties reproached as to who was superior among them .Chaturmukha bramha created a body and asked everyone to enter it. All the dieties entered . Now these decided whoever leaves the body ,and if the body collapses ,he would be supreme.

1. Vak departed[fire] , body was intact without speech ,eating and drinking
2. Chaksus[eyes] {sun} departed , body reamined intact without seeing
3. Srotra [moon]{ears} departed ,body remained intact without hearing
4. Manas[ shiva,suparna,sesha,Indra] departed ,body reamained intact without drowsing
5. Then Prana[breath]{Vayu} moved out , the body collapsed even if other were present. Sarira is known as Sarira because it collapses.
6. Thus Mukhya prana is superior to all dieties.
7. One who knows this his enemies[sins] will vanish and knowledge will accompany him like a brother.

Aitereyopanishat

Once King Visala and his wife Itara devi performed penace to get a Son. Lord Narayana revealed himself as their son. He once went to a yagna where devatas and chaturmukha bramha were presiding. These devatas could not bear the lustre of Lord Narayana ,chaturmukha Bramha offered prayers to the son of Itara , He enabled them to see him.They all became his devotees. As greats like Ramadevi,Bramha,Indra,devatas became his dasa[devotees] He came to be known as Mahidasa [mahin: dasa: asyeti  Mahidasa:] He then preached Aitereya hymns to all of them .

Thus Aitereya devata is Mahidasa ,rishi is also mahidasa,this is part of ashvalayan shakha of Rigved ,a chapter2 and3 of Aitereya aranyaka is upanishat. It conveys Supreme Glory of Vishnu ,hence is known as Mahavibhuti.

1. Hari:OM  Sankarshana is the path ,Anirudha is karma, Vasudev is Bramha ,Pradyumna is Satya.
2. One must not abandon Him ,[one must not transgress Truth ,as god himself is truth that leads to HIM].
3. This answers the question as to
1. why truth should be followed in this world ,
2. why cannot we live as we feel like  ,
3. why are there path of spirituality ,
4. what it leads to ,
5. who has put all these restrictions?
4. This also specially shows vedas are theistic.
5. Three transgress HIM
1. Pishachas[those who roam in Akasha]
2. Rakshasas[Those who eat human flesh]
3. Asuras [ among dharma gyan vairagya and aishwarya ,these have only aishwarya]
6. Three did not transgress
1. Manushyottama
2. Rishis
3. Devatas
7. They meditated on HIM as
1. in Arka
2. in Brihat
3. Pavamana
8. Men prayed through Agni
9. Rishis prayed God as present in Aditya
10. Devatas in vayu and Dishas[all quarters].

Narayana is Supreme . Madhvacharya had a special liking to this Upanishad which can be seen from that fact that

• He taught this upanishat to his Guru as Guru Dakshina
• He gave a special discourse on this in eminent sabhas
• His last discourse before retiring to Himalayas was on Aitereya Upanishat which was attended by Devatas  in Ananteshwar temple UDIPI.

SundarkandNirnay-16 MadhuvanBhang Atmasamarpanam

Hanuman Burnt Lanka with his tejas[brilliance] , All this was achieved in presence of Ravana and Indrajit . They were helpless spectators to this feat. Ravan had abducted seeta in absence of Rama [through deceit ],this showed his cowardice , But Hanuman punished him in his presence by destroying his city . Ravan could lift mount Kailash[of Shiva] , Indrajit defeated Indra , but could only helplessly watch Vayuputra Hanuman[showing superiority of Hanuman to Shiva and Indra.

Indrajit had used Bramhastra on Hanuman, now when his Lanka was burning to ashes , he could have used Varunastra , but he knew it was of no help , as no astra could match brilliance of Hanuman ,thus indrajit mutely accepted consequence.Hanuman the invincible ,his tail was unhurt by the fire. But Lanka was dismantled. Those who oppose Rama they can only reap unhappiness however they take shelter of other Gods , they cannot save themselves from the wrath of Hanuman.

Hanuman flew back across ocean to his subordinates Angad ,jambavan etc.They were all happy to see him back, it was as if they got their lives[breath] back. Together Hanuman and team decided to return to kishkindha. On the way Hanuman and others destroyed Madhuvan of Sugreeva [which was full of honey]. The news that Hanuman destroyed Madhuvan gave immense pleasure to Sugreeva .Because , only if these vanars were happy then they could dare to annoy him[ King].In these situation ,only the news of Seeta could  be honey to ears.Hanuman by destroying Madhuvan has spread advance news of Seeta [honey to ears].to Sugreeva.

Hanuman destroyed Ashokvan ,it gave immense grief to Ravana , he destroyed Madhuvan ,it gave immense pleasure to Sugreeva.Hanuman's every act brings pleasure to Satvikas and grief to Tamas jeevas.

Hanuman along with other vanara met Rama and submitted Chudamani at his feet. Chudamani is Vayu himself ,presenting to Rama's feet , is atmasamarpana , Lord Rama responded by a hug [alingan] to Hanuman, Atma samarpana was reciprocated by Sayujya.This Alingana is representation of Bhavi Bramha post to Hanuman. Hanuman surrendered himself to the feet of Lord ,without any desire , his service of Samudra langhan , seetaanveshan , lanka vidhwansa and chudamani samrpana , was all with pure devotion and thus He is jeevottama , and Rama the Sarvottama presented him the lordship of entire creation.

[He took all the vanar, none of them had done anything in this entire journey ,but just by being with Hanuman in his Ramaseva ,entitled them to the Grace of Shri Rama, honey of Sugreeva and saved them from anger of the King apart from enjoyments. ]Just as Vanara had Madhu  by siding with Hanuman ,we can also have Madhu[Moksha Grace of Rama] if we read and follow this Nirnay by Madhvacharya [Hanuman himself] .

SundarkandNirnay-15 Delight of Fire [Lankahuti]

Hanuman's advice sent Ravana into a swirl of anger ,he ran towards Hanuman to kill him,but was stopped by Vibheeshana .Vibheeshana stopped Ravana ,this in no way could be considered as a favour on Hanuman .hanuman is MukhyaPrana [lord of prana] his prana could not have been saved by Vibheeshana.Vibheeshana's efforts could temporarily postpone Ravana's death. But Vibheeshana did not order Hanuman's tail to be lit by \fire . ravana inspired his rakshasas to light Hanuman's tail. Rakshasas tied cloth reams and fuel to light up fire.

Fire is a dependent of Vayu [ fire needs air to burn and not vice versa] , hence fire just could not assist in Ravana's design. However hanuman though not affected by Bramhastra , could not have been affected by mortal fire. He just acted to be under Rakshasas net and allowed them to tie cloth reams and lit fire ,only to destroy city of Lanka .

Hanuman Destroyed entire Lanka, Lanka was a fireproof city ,built by Vishwakarma. Ordinary fire could not have burnt it. Hanuman burnt Lanka with his own heat[tejas]. Hanuman is hotter than fire[agni]. Agni is no match for him. But agni knowing his capability [as against Hanuman] showed  his subordination to Hanuman by being just warm rather then burning Hot towards Tail of Hanuman. This gesture from Agni was duly noted by Vayu and thus blessed by Vayu.

Lanka was a beautiful city  studded with pearls and gold and jewels , this along with other Rakshasa was destroyed  by Hanuman , Hanuman roared in happiness . Destruction of Evil people's wealth is also liked by God , in as much Hanuman knew he has performed a Hari seva in burning Lanka to ashes .Hanuman Roared to signify this happiness.

SundarkandNirnay-14 Hanuman's advice

Hanuman warned Ravana ,that if he fails to return Seeta to SriRama ,he will die all alongwith his family.Those who go against  God ,hate God  they will be wiped off alongwith the family.

if practically one does not see immediate fall of those who go against god ,they in long run lose all the family members [have pain on account of family members] and finally themselves perish.

even Rudra and others cannot face the arrows of Rama, so Ravana is just too miniature to stand against the anger of Rama.Rudra has granted boons to many of his family members ,if Rudra himself cannot face Rama's anger so how can his dependent  Ravana can?.

None among devatas ,maushyas,rakshasas, and sarpas can face the arrows of Rama , so Ravana will only perish,how true these words of Hanuman[ the lord of Satya loka] was wrt Ravana.Rama forgives all the sins ,but if persistently one goes against him he will have anger as per the sin.

SundarkandNirnay-13 Ravana Sabha

Bramhastra has a tightest grip than any other grip in the world. But foolish Rakshasas thinking Hanuman would escape tried to bind him through ropes and clothes. Seeing this dishonor bramhastra   went back to Bramha loka. Bramhastra usually is troublesome to Shiva and others too,but it did not trouble Hanuman ,yet Hanuman acted as if he was caught by it, Bramhastra acted as if it had troubled Hanuman , but Rakshasas since disbelieved its effect ,it disappeared.

Those who disbelieve Bramha tatva and Hanuman tatva and take shelter of other tatvas , the real Lord's (Bramha) shastra  leaves them away immediately ,they are all fools.

Valmiki also makes it a point that Bramhastra did not have any effect on Hanuman.Since Hanuman is Bhavi Bramha ,bramhastra cannot have effect on him.From that day Bramhastra could not be reused by Indrajit. Once you use weapons on your elders , you lose that capability of using weapons again. your valor also diminishes.

Ravana asked Hanuman , " monkey who are you? who is your master?"

For all rakshasas even after so much of disaster , Hanuman remained only a monkey proves that they were fools beyond comprehension,and Ravana their leader/king was also a fool there need not be a special mention.

Hanuman ,after praying sri Ram ,said, " Do know me as the strongest ,bravest ,vayuputra a messenger for Sri Ram and For you I am very yama the Death ".

SundarkandNirnay-12 Indrajit

Ravana sent Indrajit to face Hanuman. Indrajit made a flurry of arrows towards Hanuman ,these had no effect, Indrajit could not subdue Hanuman , [if indrajit could not subdue Hanuman, then one who has been defeated by him (indra),how could he have hit and hurt Hanu ( cheek of hanuman) .
Indrajit used Bramhastra . Now Hanuman thought ,he has already overtaken ,the bramha boons to many anothers and killed them, This time He wished to honour Bramha , and get caught by it . He is equivalent to Bramha , though equivalent he had respect for Bramha partky because Bramha is senior and also one must treat equals as thyself ,hence respect is there,Also Hanuman wished to see Ravana . These Rakshasas accpompanying Indrajit would take him to Him and he will have chance to see ravan and warn him about Sri Ram and give him his message.
All this was out of Hanuman's own will and not by the power of Rakshasas , they were as always powerless before him.
Thus Hanuman chose to accept the effect of Bramha astra , this did not trouble him but he acted to be caught by it and followed the Rakshasa to Ravana.
Hanuman is never troubled by astras.

SundarkandNirnay-11 Akshakumar vadha

Ravan realised Kapi was no ordinary ,but extremely valorous Hanuman . So he decided to send his son AkshaKumar. AkshKumar was equivalent to Ravana in strength and capability. AkshaKumar, the son of Mandodari was protected by a boon of immortality from Bramha.Sending Akshakumar was equivalent to Ravana himself coming to battlefield. People hacve three kinds of strength , Vara bala (strength of boons), astrabala( strength of missiles)and swabhavik bala( nijabala actual physical strength).
With all his might Aksha kumar attacked Hanuman , with his astras . All his arrows were incanted with the Astra mantras. And he was using crores of such arrows with his speed and valour . Hanuman being more stronger than astras themselves , being swifter then the astras , did not budge to these and on the contrary swiftly lifted AkshKumar by his legs.
Hanuma thought , Ravana 's army has been demoralised, by destruction of 1/3 of his force. Now let me destroy another third of Ravana.
This is internal damage to Ravana
'
1, Ravana
2,Indrajit
3.Akshakumara
all these were equal in strength, killing akshakumar will reduce his strength by third.
Hanuman thought of leaving Ravana for Rama to kill . INdrajit for Lakshamana ( also his strength had to be tested) , and chose AkshaKumar as his target . This is to show that he could have killed Ravana as well but as a pure afterthought he has let go Him.
Hanuman even when dangerous weapons/missiles were thrown at him he was least bothered about them and yet exhibited his cool sense of justice and analytical brain while thinking about killing AkshaKumar.
Hanuman swung AkshaKumar in the air and smashed him on to the ground and not on the stone or mountain, yet AkshaKumar crushed into pieces , on account of force of Hanuman. Ravana went into immense grief at the news of Son's death , crushed to death by Hanuman .
AkshKumar was reborn as Lakshana ,son of duryodhana , here he was son of Ravana , the ultimate villain, their he was son of Duryodhana , the ultimate villain , even after death he could not get good senses and reborn as an evil.
Hanuman exceeded everyone in nijabala, Though He has all the knowledge of astras , He never uses them ,He has extreme grace of Shri Rama. Krishna left jarasndha to be killed by Bheemasena , Here Hanuman left Ravana For Rama . this seems to be beautiful anology.

SundarkandNirnay-10 Rakshas Sainya Samhara

Hanuman destroyed the entire Ashokvana ,the news reached Ravana ,he grew angry and sent a large army ordering to get the "kapi".Hanuman's valorous deed arouse lot of devotion admiration among satvik souls ,but Ravan despite having ten heads and having listened to this deed with twenty ears could only hate him more.

Ravana sent 80crore excellent senapatis (not just soldiers),lead by 80000 excellent warriors. These were armed with all types of weapon ,above that were protected by the boon of Rudra ,of being immortal.They simultaneously attacked Hanuman with all force and weapons.sending this much force on a single monkey establishes the fact as how much aggrieved Ravana was by the news of destruction of ashokvatika.

Despite this big force  attacking simultaneously ,it appeared as a hit of garland thrown on a intoxicated elephant,to Hanuman.Siva is layakaraka, his devotees Rakshasas all too got "laya" by the Vayuputra ,who is also the regulator of Shiva.He killed all the 80crore 80000 army within minutes.

He also killed seven sons of Ravana's ministers ,they were all huge like mountains in dimensions. Ravana then sent almost 1/3rd of his army lead by virupaksha,yupaksha,dhurdhara,praghas and bhaskarna ,these were all protected by boons from Bramha and Rudra and entered battlefield garden with complete overconfidence .These alongwith entire 1/3rd army were killed by Hanuman. Hanuman could have killed entire Ravana's army that very day itself, but he stopped the destruction with 1/3rd only .

[This way Hanuman single handedly defeated Ravana's army within no time giving jitters to Ravana  and other demons that if one monkey could bring such disaster then what if Rama with his other monkey's attack.]
