    Saubhagya Lakshmi Upanishad Chapter 1

    “Om Sri Lakshmi Narashimhan Nahama” Saubhagya Lakshmi Upanishad Om! Speech is rooted in my thought (mind) and my thought is rooted in my speech. Be manifest, patent, to me; be ye two, for me, the lynch-pins of the Veda. Let not Vedic lore desert me. With this mastered lore, I join day with night. I shall speak what is right; I shall speak what is true. Let that protect me; let that protect the speaker. Let that protect me. Let that protect the speaker, protect the speaker! Om! Peace! Peace! Peace! Chapter 1 I-1: Then the Gods said to the Lord: Lord ! Expound for us the science of the Goddess of Prosperity. I-2: The Lord, the primeval Narayana, replied: Be it so.

    Bhagavata Purana

    Bhagavata Purana The Bh āgavata Pur āṇa (Devanagari : भागवतपुराण ; also Śrīmad Bh āgavata Mah ā Pur āṇa, Śrīmad Bh āgavatam or Bh āgavata ) is one of Hinduism 's eighteen great Puranas (Mahapuranas , great histories).[1][2] Composed in Sanskrit and available in almost all Indian languages,[3] it promotes bhakti (devotion) to Krishna [4][5][6] integrating themes from the Advaita (monism) philosophy of Adi Shankara .[5][7][8] The Bhagavata Purana , like other puranas, discusses a wide range of topics including cosmology, genealogy, geography, mythology, legend, music, dance, yoga and culture.[5][9] As it begins, the forces of evil have won a war between the benevolent devas (deities) and evil asuras (demons) and now rule the universe. Truth re-emerges as Krishna, (called " Hari " and " Vasudeva " in the text) – first makes peace with the demons, understands them and then creatively defeats them, bringing back hope, justice, freedom and good – a cyclic theme that appears in many legends.[10] The Bhagavata Purana is a revered text in Vaishnavism , a Hindu tradition that reveres Vishnu.[11] The text presents a form of religion ( dharma ) that competes with that of the Vedas , wherein bhakti ultimately leads to self-knowledge, liberation ( moksha ) and bliss.[12] However the Bhagavata Purana asserts that the inner nature and outer form of Krishna is identical to the Vedas and that this is what rescues the world from the forces of evil.[13] An oft-quoted verse is used by some Krishna sects to assert that the text itself is Krishna in literary

    Glories of Bhagavad Gita from Padma Purana

    Glories of Bhagavad Gita from Padma Purana By Shyamagopika dd on Fri, 2009-11-27 16:17. "I Myself have manifested in the Form of Bhagavad- gita. Please understand that the first five chapters are My five heads, the next ten chapters are My ten Arms, and the Sixteenth Chapter is My stomach. The last two chapters are My lotus-feet. In this way you should understand the transcendental Deity of the Bhagavad- gita. This Bhagavad-gita is the destroyer of all sins. And that intelligent man who daily recites one chapter or even one shloka, one half shloka, or at least one quarter shloka, will attain the same position as Susharma had attained." The Glories of Chapter One of the Bhagavad Gita from the Padma Purana Parvati said "My dear husband, You know all the transcendental truths, and by your mercy I have heard the glories of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Krishna. Oh Lord, now I long to hear from You the glories of the Srimad Bhagavad-Gita, which was spoken by Lord Krishna, and by hearing which, one’s devotion to Lord Krishna increases" Lord Shiva replied "That person, Whose body is the color of a dark rain cloud, whose carrier is the king of birds, Garuda, and Who is lying on Ananta-Sesha, the thousand headed serpent, that Lord Vishnu, Whose glories have no limit, I am always worshipping. My dear Parvati once after Lord Vishnu had killed the demon Mura, He was resting peacefully on Ananta-Sesha, when the bestower of all good fortune of the universe, Sri Lakshmi, respectfully inquired from Him.

  • Hinduism 101: the Basics

    Hinduism 101: the Basics

    Hinduism 101: The Basics Where Does Hinduism Come From? Hinduism, a collection of traditions, is one of few ancient religions to survive into modern times. It developed at least over 5000 years ago in the Indus Valley of India, the largest civilization in the ancient world. Hindus consider the Hindu tradition as having no identifiable beginning or end, and refer to it as Sanatana Dharma ​ or the Eternal Way. The Vedas, one of Hinduism’s primary religious texts, means ​ ​ “knowledge” in the Sanskrit language and were preserved through a rigorous oral tradition for thousands of years before being written down. They present key Hindu teachings through hymns on the divine forces of nature. Hindu philosophy was further developed in the Upanishads; restated in story form in the ​ ​ Puranas, the Ramayana, and the Mahabharata; and through countless life stories, devotional poetry, ​ ​ ​ ​ and commentaries by learned sages. Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism are often referred to as the “Dharma traditions” or “Indic traditions.” The Dharma traditions share many concepts such as dharma, karma, samsara, and moksha (see later), though each religion ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ understands and interprets them differently. Over many centuries, Hinduism's pluralistic ethos was reflected through India's embrace of other religious groups such as Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians when they were persecuted elsewhere. What are basic Hindu teachings? The deepest spiritual truth gleaned through the Vedas is that Brahman, or ​ ​ the Absolute (used interchangeably with “the Divine”, “the Absolute,” and “God”) pervades the entire universe. This divine reality or its essential nature is present in all living ​ ​ ​ beings, eternal, and full of bliss.

    Mobilizing Shakti: Hindu Goddesses and Campaigns Against Gender-Based Violence

    religions Article Mobilizing Shakti: Hindu Goddesses and Campaigns Against Gender-Based Violence Ali Smears School of Religious Studies, McGill University, Montreal, QC H2T 2T9, Canada; [email protected] Received: 3 December 2018; Accepted: 2 May 2019; Published: 13 June 2019 Abstract: Hindu goddesses have been mobilized as powerful symbols by various groups of activists in both visual and verbal campaigns in India. Although these mobilizations have different motivations and goals, they have frequently emphasized the theological association between goddesses and women, connected through their common possession of Shakti (power). These campaigns commonly highlight the idea that both goddesses and Hindu women share in this power in order to inspire women to action in particular ways. While this association has largely been used as a campaign strategy by Hindu right-wing women’s organizations in India, it has also become a strategy employed in particular feminist campaigns as well. This article offers a discourse analysis of two online activist campaigns (Priya's Shakti and Abused Goddesses) which mobilize Hindu goddesses (and their power) in order to raise awareness about gender-based violence in India. I examine whether marginalized identities of women in India, in relation to caste, class and religious identity, are represented in the texts and images. To do so, I analyze how politically-charged, normative imaginings of Indian women are constructed (or maintained). This analysis raises questions about the usefulness of employing Hindu goddesses as feminist symbols, particularly in contemporary Indian society, in which communal and caste-based tensions are elevated. Keywords: Hindu goddesses; activist campaigns; Shakti References to Hindu goddesses and their power (Shakti) have appeared across a variety of political campaigns in India.

    Many Ma's: Goddess in America

    Hinduism Many Ma’s: Goddess in America Many Ma’s: Goddess in America Summary: The Goddess in the Hindu faith is known by many names: Parvati (the wife of Shiva), Lakshmi or Bhu Devi (the wife of Vishnu), Durga or Kali, Shakti (meaning power). Her most common name most often used in prayer is Ma, or Mother. The main celebration of the Goddess is Durga Puja, also called Navaratri since it takes place over “Nine Nights.” Ma, or Mother, is also used to refer to women whose lives embody the power of the Divine within the Hindu community. The Goddess goes by many names in the Hindu tradition. She is Parvati, the wife of Shiva. She is Lakshmi or Bhu Devi, the wife of Vishnu. In some cases, her role as a “wife” fades almost completely, and she stands on her own as Durga or as Kali, her many arms and many hands filled with the weapons of all the male gods. She is omnipotent, to be sure. Among her names is Shakti, which means sheer energy or power. Her most common name, however, for those who come to her in prayer is simply Ma, or Mother. Hindus readily see the powerful presence of the Divine to be manifest in female form. Coming before the Supreme God and pressing one’s hands together in prayer, saying, “O Mother!” is common in the Hindu tradition. In America, the Divine Mother is celebrated in many ways. Her main festival is called Durga Puja, taking the name of the goddess Durga. The festival takes place over the course of the “Nine Nights” and is also called Navaratri.
