Skanda

Hello friends a fine and pleasant morning gives fresh sun shine and cool breeze as november is the month of  diva(lightening).People offer prayers early in the morning by having river bath.lord shanmukha has been worshipped with atmost devotion by the devotees . 
                                                         He is a god of uniter, championing  the attributes of both lord Shiva and Vishnu.I am excited to share about the birth of skanda. In Tamilnadu karnataka, andhra pradesh and telangana,he is the primary deity in temples. skanda is the son of lord shiva and parvati , and brother of lord ganesh and ashoka sundari. A very interesting  birth history of lord karthikeya mesmerizes  us to know in detail. Blessed to hear lord subrahmanya birth history. Kalidasa maha kavi has introduced the birth history of lord kartikeya by the name kumara sambhavam written in 5 th century. kasyapa prajapathi who has 13 wifes out of them diti and aditi were famous as diti has a son vajrangudu who has a son tarakasura. Heaven became hell because of him.He was blessed that he could be killed by none other than lord shiva's son.Lord shiva who is against to kama had won over it as parvati performed great tapas to win lord shiva. To restore the glory of Indra,king of gods,As born among the reeds called as saravanabhava ,born with six faces call as shanmukham or arumugam.There is a god for (kama) named manmadha who is the son of lord vishnu .He had a wife named rati devi.He has the capacity to make anyone to marry.Indra one day commanded him make shiva to wish to marry parvati. manmadha, rati and indra were all set the task as he created all the glory and beauty of the spring.Lord shiva was doing his penance sitting on a tiger skin under a devadaru tree. manmadha bow an arrow on shiva fell down without being aware of it.later devi parvathi had come to offer prayers and seen all the deeds done by manmadha and she took from his hand.But lord shiva got angry on manmadha and shown his angryness on him.Later they went to lord brahma and vishnu to explain what had happened.lord brahma and vishnu came to lord shiva and covinced that they should give a son to kill tarakasura.  

                   

                                          Then lord shiva and devi parvathi had enjoyed their eternal love for 1000 years.Then all the gods came to lord shiva and told him not to give birth by devi parvathi,then lord shiva had given birth to shanmukha through bhudevi,agni,vayu,akash and jal. as devi parvathi had been made herself to a lake named saravana tatakam at himalayas foot.lord karthikeya had born at saravana tatakam as he called by the name "saravanabhava".As soon as he born all the gods offered prayers to kruthika devatas to feed shanmukham.As he had been feeded by them called as karthikeya. Then within a day he born he became big and all the gods made him as "devasenadhipati".Then with full warriors karthikeya made a war with tarakasura and killed him.A mesmerizing birth of lord subrahmanya made everyone happy.

                                                                   Bammera Pothana
  
Hello everyone , a pleasant morning makes our day active and perfect.Coming to the topic today i want to discuss about a great poet Bammera pothana (1410-1510).A great devotee of lord rama and called as father of goddess saraswati devi. Pothana garu was wellknown for translating bhagavatam from sanskrit to telugu. We were proud to say that belonged to bammera village in jangaon district in telanagana state.bhagavata puranam was first written by  veda vyasa maharshi who is a guru of all the vedas. Vyasa bhagawan wrote  bhagavata puranam in sanskrit . In India everyone places vyasa maharshi as a guru in their hearts.In vishnu shasram there is a sloka :
                    vyasaya vishnu rupaya vyasa rupaya vishnave
                     namo vibrahma nidhayae vasistaya namo namaha
     
    Bammera pothana was a telugu and sanskrit scholar.His Andhra maha bhagavatamu is called as pothana bhagavatamu in telugu. His father kesana and mother lakkamamba. pothana garu is a farmer and a great poet.In early age he wrote Bhogini dhandakam a poem wrote in praise of king sri singa bhoopala, and dedicated to him. secondly he wrote veerabhadhra vijayamu on lord veerabhadhra .First pothana garu is a devotee of lord shiva. There is no difference between lord shiva and lord vishnu as written in this padyam as "chetularanga shivuni pujimadeni noru novvanga hari keerthi salupadeeni dhayanu satyamulonuga thalupadeni kaluganetiki thallula kadupuchetu".As a devotee of lord shiva one early morning during lunar eclipse, pothana garu meditating on the banks of river godavari , lord rama had appeared as a king and asked him to translate bhagavatam from sanskrit to telugu language and dedicate to him.This makes him auspicious and translated sanskrit vyasa bhagawan bhagavatam to andhra maha bhagavatam. The king of Rachakonda named padma nayaka asked potana garu to dedicate andhra maha bhagavatamu to him.The king himself is a poet and wrote rudranavasudhakara, a well known sanskrit drama. Pothana garu regretted his request and said that it is better dedicated to lord rama than to these mortal kings and dedicated to supreme lord rama with great devotion. Karanata samrajyam(vijayanagara empire)  was raiding rachakonda at that time.During his writing when he started first line of verse and stopped as he doesn't know how vaikuntham looks like. so he went to his farming and returned evening and shocked to see  verse complete.
                                             Pothana garu asked his daughter what happened who completed this verse.she replied that afternoon time you have sat and wrote here. Pothana garu understood that lord rama had came and completed the verse.That beautiful poem as pothana garu himself ascribed in the following poem:
                                     Palikedidi bhagavatamata
                                      Palikinchedi vadu ramabhadrundata ne
                                      palikina bahavahara magunata
                                      Palikeda verondu gadha palukaganela
                    After the completion of andhra maha bhagavatamu srinath kavi a poet came to pothana garu and asked about dedication to karanata samrajyam ,at night goddess saraswati devi had cried weather he dedicate to kings.But Pothana garu said to goddesss saraswati devi as a daughter that it will be dedicated to only supreme lord vishnu. An epic bhagavatam is to be done as a subject to the students of present generation as now a days no one knows bammera pothana garu, bhagawan vyasa maharshi .  

                                                                          vani

                                                                          Blossom
                    

                                                   Hello friends blossom is a highly connective word to everyone in the present world.Whenever i see  the word blossom i remember a book written by Arun k Tiwari based on the biography of APJ Abdul Kalam named as "You are born to blossom ". which gives gun shot answers to many questions of every children ,parent, individual etc..I personally believe Conscience is the light of the soul that burns within the chambers of our psychological heart.So everyone is gifted with tremendous energy,skills,spirituality etc equally. based on the thinking of people it differs.So there is no way to blame god for silly silly reasons. Every aspect of our life is different from other's life comparision makes man sick by thinking on it. our mind is our greatest enemy. from the second we woke up to the second we drop our breath even heart runs asusual without taking breaks but our mind runs successsfully without any ad breaks..Peace of mind is to be attained only by the control of our mind.A story i have read in that book that Amir of rum to rumi that The non-believers used to worship and bow down to idols.and now we are doing the samething .i.e.,we go and bow down and wait upon the mongols and yet we consider ourselves the muslims or any other religion.We have many other idols in our heart too,such as greed,temper,passion,and envy.we are obedient to all of them.so. we act in the very same wayas non-believers,both outwardly and inwardly,and we consider ourselves as muslims,hindus etc.but rumi answered "here is something different;it enters your thoughts that this conduct is evil and utterly detestable.The eye of our heart has seen something incomparably greater that shows up this behaviour as vile and hideous. Brakish water shows its brakishness to onw who has tasted sweet water,and things are made clear by their opposites."Rumi recited with this following poem:
                                                           
                                                       The angel is saved through knowledge,
                                                         The beast -through ignorance
                                                            Between the two
                                                                   struggle the people of this world

                                                             The meaning of the above poem states as: There are three kinds of creatures.1.there are angels, who are pure spiritual conscience.worship, service and the remembrance of god are their nature and their food.They eat and live on that essence like fishes in water.Angels are pure free of lust .What favour do they gain by not yielding to such desires?as they are free of these things,they doesn't have any struggle against them.If they obey god's will ,it is not counted as obedience,for this is their nature, and they cannot in other ways.2.there are the beasts who are pure sensuality,having no spiritual conscience to restrain them.They also are under no burden of obligation.finally remains as a poor human being.,with a compound of spiritual conscience and sensuality. So at present we are half angel,half beast,half snake and half fish. Fish draws us towards water,snake towards earth....If our spiritual conscience overcomes our sensuality,we are higher than the angels.If our sensuality overcomes our spiritual conscience ,we moves lower to beasts.

                                                    Shy life leads to back end
                                             
                                                   Hello friends,today i entered with a working topic,where many of my friends like me journey a very simple life,and losses many opportunities comes at door step,due to shy.This is a feeling which cannot accepts something which hesitates the inner feeling and makes people possessive,inferior.This makes people weak and stressed.

Its a psychological issue ,but the problem is not as critical .Everyone has some goal or destination to reach.But during travelling many of the hurdles may deviate or make us move back,but its not fair to return where we started. 

When we start to move without any throwback or deviations,the success path is getting ready to surprise you.when the hurdles gets crossed we were achieved to 50% to our destination.keep on moving makes our feelings more stronger and maintains our mental health in a proper manner.Research shows that inferiority is the biggest malfunction in humans. Wake up everyday with good quotes or motivational words,can change a person's mind with good startup. Hurdles make people stonger and adds more strength to their willpower.By welcoming the shy cant move in life but by crossing shy can reach the meaning of one's life.
