Part 15 Hare Krishna Prabhujis and Matajis, Please Accept Our Humble The Lord of Sweetness - Part 15 Date: 2021-01-24 Author: Harshita Haribaskar Hare Krishna Prabhujis and Matajis, Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudev. This is in continuation of the previous offering titled "Lord of Sweetness", wherein we were meditating on the beauty of the Lord and some of the practical lessons we can learn from the song Madhurashtakam composed by Sri Vallabhacarya. In the previous offerings we were meditating on the sweetness of Krishna's deeds and liberation. Now we shall meditate on the glories described by Sri Vallabhacarya in the fifth stanza of this ashtakam. 23. Sweetness of Krishna's stealing - haraṇaṁ madhuraṁ: The whole Damodar pastime began because the Lord was sitting on top of a big wooden grinding mortar, and stealing butter from the high hanging pots, and was feeding it to the monkeys. He is known as Makhan Chor, the butter thief. But why does Krishna steal? He is the owner of everything. What is the need for Him to "steal"? Well if He owns everything, then He is not stealing anything. He is doing it for the pleasure of His devotees. Whenever the Lord used to steal, the gopis would come and complain to Mother Yashoda. They would say, "Now we are lodging all these complaints, and Krishna is looking at the floor as if He is completely innocent. But we know very well that in His mind, He is plotting as to when He's going to steal our butter." But this conversation would take place every day because the gopis wanted an excuse to talk about Krishna. Now, we know that butter is dear to the Lord. Hence when our hearts become soft and sweet like butter, by churning through the process of bhakti, Krishna will steal our hearts. Sri Bilvamangala Thakura in the Chorashtakam very lovingly describes, "O stealer of my everything! O Thief! Today I have imprisoned You in the miserable prison- house of my heart which is very fearful due to the terrible darkness of my ignorance, and there for a very long time, You will remain, receiving appropriate punishment for Your crimes of thievery! O Krsna, thief of my everything! The noose of my devotion remaining forever tight, You will continue to reside in the prison-house of my heart because I will not release You for millions of aeons." If we establish the Lord in the temple of our hearts, each ounce of blood flowing through our body will be purified and hence we will become healthy, happy, see the Lord in the hearts of everyone. 24. Sweetness of Krishna 'pleasing His devotees' - ramaṇaṁ madhuraṁ: Lord being the source of all transcendental pleasure - gives pleasure to His eternal associate who assist Him in various pastimes and also to all those who simply hear about or read these pastimes. In Damodar lila, Lord gives transcendental pleasure to mother Yashoda and all her neighbours, who happily watched Yashoda trying to punish her darling son Krishna. The mother-son affection is one of the most purest forms of love in this world. As mother Yashoda began to get tired, trying to increase the length of rope to tie her mischievous son, the Lord appreciated her hard labour and He agreed to be bound up by the ropes just to please her. Similarly, the Lord also feels transcendental pleasure and eagerly agrees to be controlled by the love of His pure devotee. This was exemplified by Krishna's surrender unto His mother Yashoda. Krishna became obedient to His mother's sweet punishment. Service to one's parents is very sweet to the Lord. In Pandarpur pastime also we find how Lord along with His consort Rukmini devi - pleased with the service done by His devotee Pundalik to his parents, agreed to wait on the stone offered by Pundalik as he was busy serving his parents. When Pundalika comes out, he begs for pardon but far from being displeased, the Lord is taken over by Pundalik's love for his parents and grants a boon. Pundalika requests the Lord to stay back on Earth and bless all His true devotees. He agrees to take the form of Vithoba, or God who stood upon a brick, and a temple comes up there. This temple is known as the Vithoba Temple in Maharashtra. The Lord's intense love for His mother is an example for us to always be respectful and grateful to our parents, who have become the medium for us in this world to help us practice Krsna Consciousness. Krishna willing we shall meditate on the other glorious features of the Lord in the subsequent offering. Hare Krishna. Thank you very much. Yours in service of Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudeva, Harshita, Prerna, Mayukha..

  • The Vithoba Temple of Pan<Jharpur and Its Mythological Structure
    Japanese Journal of Religious Studies 19S8 15/2-3 The Vithoba Faith of Mahara§tra: The Vithoba Temple of Pan<Jharpur and Its Mythological Structure SHIMA Iwao 島 岩 The Bhakti Movement in Hinduism and the Vithobd Faith o f MaM rdstra1 The Hinduism of India was formed between the sixth century B.C. and the sixth century A.D., when Aryan Brahmanism based on Vedic texts incor­ porated non-Aryan indigenous elements. Hinduism was established after the seventh century A.D. through its resurgence in response to non-Brah- manistic traditions such as Buddhism. It has continuously incorporated different and new cultural elements while transfiguring itself up to the present day. A powerful factor in this formation and establishment of Hinduism, and a major religious movement characteristic especially of medieval Hin­ duism, is the bhakti movement (a religious movement in which it is believed that salvation comes through the grace of and faith in the supreme God). This bhakti movement originated in the Bhagavad GUd of the first century B.C., flourishing especially from the middle of the seventh to the middle of the ninth century A.D. among the religious poets of Tamil, such as Alvars, in southern India. This bhakti movement spread throughout India through its incorporation into the tradition of Brahmanism, and later developed in three ways. First, the bhakti movement which had originated in the non-Aryan cul­ ture of Tamil was incorporated into Brahmanism. Originally bhakti was a strong emotional love for the supreme God, and this was reinterpreted to 1 In connection with this research, I am very grateful to Mr.

CHAPTER 7—RELIGION AND GODS OF MAHARASHTRA IN MAHARASHTRA A MAJORTY OF PEOPLE OF ALL CASTES worship as family deity either one or two of the following Gods : (1) The Mother—goddess. (2) Shiva (3) Khandoba. The fourth God is Vithoba. He is worshipped and revered by most Marathi people but he is not the family deity of many families. Another very popular God is Maruti. The God is known as “ Hanumanta” in Maharashta, Karnatak and Andhra Pradesh, as “ Anjaneya “ in Tamilnad and “ Mahabir “ in the north. He is, however, never a family deity. Other Gods, besides these, are Vishnu, with his incarnations of Ram, Krishna, Narsimha, in rare cases Vamana, A count taken while doing field work in Satara showed that only a minority of people belonging to Brahmin, Maratha, and Mali castes claimed Rama, Krishna, Narsimha as their family deities. Of these again a small number only are worshippers of Narsimha. Narsimha used to be not an uncommon given name in Andhra, Karnatak and Maharashtra1. Dr. S. V. Ketkar wrote that there was an ancient King of Maharashtra called Narsimha perhaps then as later, parts of Maharashtra, Andhra and Karnatak were under one rule. The name would change to Narsu or Narsia in common parlance. It is possible that Narsimha was a legendary hero in this area. He is also connected in a legend of the Chenchu, a tribe from Andhra. People worship many gods Worshippers of Shiva also worship Vishnu.

  • Indian Archaeology 1987-88 a Review
    INDIAN ARCHAEOLOGY 1987-88 —A REVIEW EDITED BY M.C.JOSHI Director General Archaeological Survey of India PUBLISHED BY THE DIRECTOR GENERAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA NEW DELHI 1993 Cover : TisseruStupa,Leh,Ladakh Cover layout & design: Raj Nath Kaw 1992 ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA GOVERNMENT OF INDIA Price :Rs. 250.00 PRINTED AT BENGAL OFFSET WORKS, 335, KHAJOOR ROAD, KAROL BAGH, NEW DELHI-1 10005. PHONE: 524200,7510455 PREFACE I am happy to place before the scholars the Indian Archaeology 1987-88—A Review not very long after the publication of the previous issue. We are making efforts to bring the publication of the Review up to date; this, however, would depend on timely submission of material by contributors. It has been our experience that, in many cases, several reminders have to be given for sending material to us for inclusion in the Review which results in delay of its publication. I am sure, with the cooperation of different institutions and the State Departments of Archaeology and Museums and my own colleagues in different Branches and Circles of the Survey it would be possible for us to maintain regularity of its publication. The present issue of the Review is more voluminous than the previous ones and thus reflects also increased activities in different fields of archaeology. Out of several excavations reported in this issue, I may mention the work at Banawali, Thanesar, Sanghol, Hampi, Sannathi, Daulatabad, Lalitagiri, Udaigiri, Fatehpur Sikri, Sravasti, Balikeshwar, Chandel, Harsud, etc. by the Survey, at Kuntasi jointly by the Deccan College, Pune, and the Gujarat State Department of Archaeology, at Mangalkot by the University of Calcutta, at Kotasur by the Visvabharati, Maihar by the Allahabad University, Ganeshwar by the Department of Archaeology and Museums, Rajasthan State and at Shikarpur by the Department of Archaeology, Government of Gujarat.

  • My Experiences of Indian Temples
    1 My experiences of Indian temples Anil K. Rajvanshi [email protected] I am not at all a temple-goer and neither do I have an aversion nor particular attraction for temples. Nevertheless as all Indians do, I have also visited many famous temples of India from my childhood till now. I just feel that when millions of people, through ages, have visited them there must be some presence in these temples. There is thus a desire to visit them and feel the presence. However till today I have never felt it in any temple though in one I did get an uneasy feeling. Going to temple is a subjective matter. The readers may or may not agree with my observations. Yet here they are for whatever they are worth. Most of the temples I have visited have been dirty and noisy and in few of them I was harassed by resident pandas. The first harassment I faced was when I visited the famous Krishna temple in Mathura in January 1973. I was going to Vadodara by train and was passing through Mathura where there was a 4-5 hours train halt. I therefore decided to visit the famous Krishna temple in the heart of Mathura. I still remember it was freezing cold in January and I hired a rickshawallah to show me around. The moment I entered the temple, some 10 pandas surrounded me and each one of them wanted to show me the temple. I was warned by the rickshawallah not to take any one of them since I was more interested in seeing the architecture of the temple rather than doing darshan.
