RARE SLOKAS FROM PURANAS-- 1 TO 20

RARE SLOKAS FROM PURANAS--1 TO 20

(Research work of Muralidharan Iyengar from Singapore)

INTRODUCTION

In the early centuries of the Common Era, sectarian strife was a major issue between the followers of Shiva and the followers of Vishnu. With the advent of Advaita or non-dualistic philosophy, the differences between these two sects and many others have been partially reconciled. The unity of the major gods Shiva and Vishnu has become increasingly popular, and many temples now house the image of SIVA and VISHNU  Parivara (family and avatars).

The Hindu trinity is comprised of Brahma, the creator, Vishnu the preserver, and Shiva the dis-solver. Brahma represents the creation of the universe, this world, and everything within it. There is no way to refuse that the creation of all that surrounds us, as well as ourselves is astonishing. Therefore Brahma does not find himself to be the subject of sectarian division. The argument instead revolves around the relative greatness of Vishnu, the guardian of Brahma’s creation versus Shiva, the one capable of destroying the entire creation and providing a blank canvas for Brahma to begin again. śivasya hridayam viṣṇur viṣṇoscha hridayam śivaḥ--Vishnu is the heart of Shiva; Shiva is the heart of Vishnu.

Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva is the Hindu trinity, also called the trimurti. The Supreme Spirit or Universal Truth, called Brahman, is represented in three forms, each corresponding to one cosmic function: Brahma (the creator), Vishnu (the preserver) and Shiva (the transformer/destroyer)--Srishthi, Sthiti and Laya.

Because Hinduism is a collection of different traditions and beliefs, scholars believe Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva was an attempt to reconcile the doctrine of Brahman with different approaches to the Divine.

Unity with Brahman – which is personified as the Trimurti – is the ultimate goal in Hindu philosophy and practice. Today, Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva as the Trimurti is rarely worshiped. Instead, Hindus typically worship one of the three as the supreme deity, and consider the others as incarnations of their supreme god. For example, Vaishnavism holds that Vishnu is the supreme god, while Shaivism believes that Shiva is supreme. Brahma, in comparison, has relatively few devotees as the supreme deity. In Puranas glorifying Siva it is through Him Parabrahman is worshiped upon and vice versa. Sakti in Sanskrit is feminine.  Hence the power aspect of  Prakriti (also feminine) of Purusaha is also symbolized as  feminine trinity Devis--Saraswati, Lakshmi,  Uma (Combined in one as Durga)  mentioned in  Veda mantras.  Later they have been made consorts of Brahma, Vishnu and Siva in Puranas.  Many Vedic deities are addressed with the epithet as siva (auspicious) or inner dweller.  

In ancient texts, the three gods symbolize earth, water and fire:

• Brahma represents earth. He is the originating power and creator of all life. One story claims he is the son of Brahman, while another says he created himself from water and seed.

• Vishnu represents water, which symbolizes his role as the sustainer of life. He is the protector side of Brahman, known for upholding goodness and creation, and is identified with his incarnations like Krishna and Rama.

• Shiva represents fire and is identified as the destructive power of the Trimurti. However, he is also viewed as a positive force that cleanses and destroys evil, paving the way for new creation and a fresh start.

Vedavyasa while editing Puranas by various authors focused on a particular deity and  has invariably introduced certain slokas (Hymns) that highlight that there is no difference between Brahma, Vishnu and Siva or their emanations  and worship to any one of them is in reality directed to Parabrahman only. Thus we see that Lord Mahvishnu claims in Brahma Vaivarta Purana that Lord Subrahmanya is Lord Vishnu Himself. But Lord Subrahmanya is considered equivalent to Lord Shiva thereby confirming the equality of Trinity and those infuse difference among the various forms are just confusing themselves and others (which can't be termed as a divine service, anyway!!).  Puranas declare that those who hold sectarian views and commit the grave sin belittling any deity comparing to their chosen deities held in esteem will be condemned in hell under severest conditions.  

“Hallucinations of differences among Trinity (Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva) are nothing but egoistic nonsense at the individual level and have nothing to do with our scriptures. In the last decade, we have seen tons of such citations and tons more to come” highlights Muralidharan Iyengar. Sri Muralidharan Iyengar of Singapore has done lot of research work on a number of Puranas to find these rare slokas many of which depict the equal status of all deities that leads us to Parabrahman. I have collected as many slokas as possible that he has been sending graciously to us over past few years. Please find my first collection of 60 slokas posted on   the blog IN 3 Postings.

14. Sri Mahalakshmi Stuti & Kavacham – Brahma Vaivarta Puranam

The following are a rare hymn and Kavacham on Goddess Mahalakshmi taken from Brahma Vaivarta Puranam, Ganapati Khanda and Chapter 22 titled Mahalakshmi Stotram and Kavacham. The brief Phalahruti of the hymn mentions that Goddess Mahalakshmi never leaves the residence of one who chants this hymn during prayer time and begets comfort, wealth and emancipation.

The Kavacham bestowed Lord Brahma is capable of destroying all sorrows and enemies and bestowing immense wealth. The brief Phalashruti mentions that Goddess Mahalakshmi never leaves the residence of one who chants this Kavacham and follows him in all his births like a shadow. Even if a dim-witted person chants Mahalakshmi Mantra a crore times it will be futile if this Kavacham is not recited.

4. Sri Vishalakshi Stuti – By Sage Vyasa – Saura Puranam

The following is a rare hymn on Sri Vishalakshi of Varanasi by Sage Vyasa taken from Saura Puranam and Chapter 8 titled Trilochana Mahatmyam. The brief Phalashruti mentions that one who takes bath in river Ganga in Varanasi, has darshan of Sri Vishalakshi and recites this hymn begets the benefit of performing 1000 Ashwamedha Yagas and one who reads or listens to Trilocana Mahatmyam reaches the abode of Lord Shiva.
