Prithviraja Vijaya

Rukmineesha vijaya , special and devine love story of Krishna and rukm

Tradition has it that a work should be begun with Mangala for the happy completion of the work without any impediment, for the prosperity of the readers etc. It is three fold : 1. The invocation of the deity for blessing the author or the readers (Asihi), 2. Paying homage to the deity (namaskritya) & 3. A mere reference to the object treated in the work (Vasthu nirdesha). Sri Vadiraja has observed the first type of Mangala with a prayer to Sri Krishna to protect him using the auspicious letter 'Sri' at the beginning. Then he offers his prayers to his upAsyamurthi Hayagriva; to Rukmini, who is the goddess of speech & mind & wose consort is the hero of the peom; Sri Madhva, the guru; the better half BhArathi & her Lord Prana. (Verses 1 to 8) With mock humility, he calls upon the scholors to patronize his work, telling them that he is not a pundit & his work may have a few blemishes (Verses 9, 10) Then he sets the background for the incarnation of Sri Krishna. Here he carefully follows the 10th Skandha of Sri BhAgavatha & improves upon it adding suitable whys & wherefores in his own inimitable way & establishing the philosophical truths of our system in season & out of season. The BhAgavatha says that the goddess of earth, who groaning under the weight of the asuras, approached Vishnu through Brahma in the guise of a cow. Sri Vadiraja asks for the why of her choice as a cow & adds that because Vishnu is the friend of the cows & brAhmans, it would have an immediate & favourable effect in her mission. He also justifies her approach by adding "As the chaste wife of Vishnu, she could not brook the asuras, who as a class, are the haters of her husband" & draws a general proposition from this particular instance (ArtAntaranyAsa) as 'In this world, what can be a bigger burden to chaste women then the haters of their husbands?' Such embellishments of each & every word or idea in the BhAgavatham abound in this work. The hosts of asuras, like Kalanemi (Kamsa), Viprachitti (JarAsandha) who were all arch haters of Vishnu were born on earth & the Earth was groaning under their weight. Though she was a by word for patience, she lost it & surrendered herself to Brahma, He as well as the other gods were quite helpless & along with her, all repaired to the abode of Vishnu in the ocean of milk. They all prayed to Him chanting the Purusha Suktha, as if to hint that He was able to kill thousands of asuras, with His thousands of heads,thousands of eyes & thousands of legs etc... Vishnu was pleased to issue orders to them, through BrahmA, to whom also He was invisible, but comforting them all & consoling the Earth. Being visible to Lakshmi, He ordered her to transport Sesha in Devaki's womb to that of Rohini & she did it implicitly. Here, Lakshmi saw Him while Brahma did not see Him but heard Him & the other gods neither saw Him nor heard Him. This establishes beyond doubt the gradations in the hierarchy of gods. Shesha is Vishnu's bed & in appreciation of his yeoman service as Lakshmana in the RAmavathara, he was sent in advance as His elder brother.Sri Vadiraja observes that just as the kings send their bedding in advance to the railway station during their journey, the Emperor of the Universe also did not lag behind in doing so. Vishnu then entered Devaki's womb & there too, He was all bliss. Brahma & other gods came there & prayed to Him to rid them all of the miseries therein, which were evident to Him since He was on the spot. Then He was born at midnight, on the eighth day (Astami) of the dark fortnight, with four arms wielding the conch, mace & other weapons, wearing the golden yellow robes, & bedecked with various ornaments. Here, Sri Vadiraja says that the night time & the 8 th day are highly significant of His killing the night prowlers in all the eight directions

MAHABHARATA : LET DHARMA RULE

Yada Yada Hi Dharmashya, Glaanirvawati Bharata; Abhyutthanam Adharmashya, Tadattmanam Srijamyaham. Paritranaya Sadhunam, Vinashaya Cha Duskritam; Dharma Sansthapanaarthe Sambhawami Yuge Yuge. Meaning- Whenever there is a downfall of Dharma(righteous) in this Bharata( Universe), and upliftment of Adharma(unrighteous), I shall be reborn in this Land and free it from the cluthes of Adharma. I shall protect the righteous and followers of Dharma. And thus, in order to restablish Dharma on this Earth, I shall take rebirth from age to age( yuga to yuga). Thus, the motto behind Mahabharata was to restablish peace and Dharma on this Earth. It is to be noted that the Everytime there is an uplift of Adharma, God himself takes birth and establishes Dharma. Thus, there are 10 Avatars of God. Till date 9 of them have already taken place and the last, the Kalki Avatar is will be born at the end of the present Yuga( Kali Yuga). Let me also say that what Mahabharata really is. It is not a normal war between Pandavas and Kauravas for the sake of a kingdom. It is the fight between Dharma and Adharma, where God stand with Dharma always. No matter how big or how strong Adharma is, Dharma will surely win. But the story of Maha bharata was not only confined to the war in Kuru- kshetra, it was extended to afterlife and Swarga. Again, here victory in Mahabharata war is not personal, it is universal victory. There are two kinds of victory, Jaya and Vijaya. Vijaya is material victory, where there is a loser. But Jaya is spiritual victory, where there are no losers. In the war of Kuru- kshetra there is Vijaya,but not Jaya. Jaya occurs to Yudhisthira later, and he reaches Vaikuntha. And hence, the original name of Mahabharata( the one written by Lord Ganesha) was named as Jaya. Let Dharma Rule. Satyameva Jayate

Balance in fortune

The story follows the journey of the goddesses Lakshmi, Vaibhavi, and Alakshmi, along with their devotees and the cosmic balance they maintain. The goddesses, known for their roles in prosperity, wisdom, and the balance between fortune and hardship, watch over their devotees and guide the universe. Devotees of the goddesses face challenges, including a greedy king who hoards wealth and disrespects the divine order, leading the faithful to leave his kingdom. These devotees are guided by the goddesses to a new land, Shreevaibhavpur, where they can live in peace and continue their devotion. The new land flourishes under the goddesses' blessings, and temples are built to honor them. In the heavens, the gods, including Vishnu, Vijaya, Mahadev, Brahmadev, Kalavira, and the goddesses, discuss the balance of the universe and ensure that the lessons of fortune and misfortune are properly taught to mortals. The goddesses also intervene in the lives of their devotees on Earth, protecting them from harm and blessing their homes. As the story progresses, the goddesses leave a lasting mark on Shreevaibhavpur by instructing the construction of a Trinity Lotus Fountain in their honor, which serves as a symbol of their eternal presence. The gods and goddesses remain vigilant, always ready to restore balance when forces of greed and corruption threaten the harmony of the world. The themes of balance, devotion, divine intervention, and the cyclical nature of fortune and hardship are woven throughout the story, with the goddesses and gods always watching over the world and maintaining cosmic harmony. I do not mean to offend anyone's beliefs or religion This is just my take of Story of Lakshmidevi Naryan Inspired by eso maa lakkhi Tv show Ps. (Alakshmi Is Kinda and she Has different roll)
