Guest guest Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Sadaiktwam na bhedoasti sarwadaiv mamasya Cha Yo-aso Sahmaham yo-asau bhedoasti khalu vibhramat "I and Brahm are one, and there is no difference between us. What He is I am and what I am,He too is. We look different due to illusion(of Maya)." During Mahabharata, when Shri Krishna saw that the war between Kauravas and Pandavas was imminent, he told Arjuna ,¡¨ Hey Mahabahu Arjuna. To defeat the enemies, you must worship Mother Durga and take boon of victory from Her. Hence Arjuna, taking guidance from Shri Krishna started worshipping Durga as ,¡¨ O! leader of the Siddha-yogins you have abode in the highest of mountains (loka)¡K.you are eternal virgin, you are Kaal-shakti please accept my Namaskar I worship you as Bhadrakali and as Mahakali. I worship you as Chandika, full of anger O! the most beautiful Mother¡Kyou destroy all the obstacles I bow to you O goddess of great luck, you are also worshipped as Katyayani, Karali, Jaya and Vijaya O! Eldest Mother you are the daughter of Nand Gopa O! Kaushiki, you love to drink blood of Mahishasur Hey Devi you always love wars and destructions¡K I bow to you. You are Uma, you are Shakambhari, you are Maheshwari You are Kaitabhnashini, you are Hiranyakshi, you are virupakshi, Dhurakshi I bow to you in all manifestations You are the knower of Past, present and future, You are established in the temples of Bharat (India) You are Mohini, Maya, Lajja, Lakshmi, Sandhya, Prabhavati, Savitri and Janani¡K..etc When Arjuna worshipped Durga with concentration and devotion, Mother Durga appeared before him and said,¡¨ O Arjuna while Shri Krishna, the Narayan Himself is with you in this battlefield, I ought to be on your side¡K..The one who gets the blessings of Narayana, automatically gets my blessings because we are one not two. In this battle I bless you to get victory over your enemies. ------------ What a great and beautiful truth about Advaita, Vishishta-advaita and dvaita¡K..can be found in this little incident !!!! Someone can ask If Shri Krishna himself was Brahm, why he asked Arjuna to worship Durga ? Couldn't He himself bless Arjuna with all the victory ? A BIG Questions ???? Not so big for pyari, or rakhakutirji¡KI m sure LOVE Baba from Beirut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
