பரத்வாஜ ரிஷியை பற்றி தெரிந்து கொள்வோமே... பரத்வாஜ கோத்திர ரிஷி இவர். தெரிந்து கொள்வோமே நம் ரிஷிகள் பெருமையை, பக்தியை..

பரத்வாஜ ரிஷி கோத்திரம் (பரம்பரை)யில் பிறந்தவர்கள் தெரிந்து கொள்ள வேண்டும்.

1. பரத்வாஜர்
2. கஸ்யபர்
3. அத்ரி
4. ஜமதக்னி
5. கௌதமர்
6. வசிஷ்டர்
7. விஸ்வாமித்திரர்
இந்த 7 ரிஷிகளும் சப்த ரிஷிகள்.

இவர்கள் பிரம்ம ஆயுசு முழுக்க இருப்பவர்கள்.
தேவர்களுக்கும் மேல் இருப்பவர்கள்.
நக்ஷத்திர ரூபமாக இவர்கள் துருவ மண்டலத்தை வலம் வந்து கொண்டு இருக்கின்றனர்.

அங்கீரஸ ரிஷியின் புத்திரர் "பரத்வாஜர்".

'பரத்' என்றால் "நிரம்பிய" என்று அர்த்தம்.
'வாஜம்' என்றால் "அன்னம்" என்று அர்த்தம்.

அன்னதானத்திற்கு பெரும் புகழ் பெற்றவர் இந்த ரிஷி.

துர்வாச ரிஷி ஒருவரே "பத்தாயிரம் பேர் சாப்பிட கூடிய உணவை" சாப்பிட்டு விடுவார். அவருடைய தபோ பலம் அப்படிப்பட்டது.

பரத்வாஜ ரிஷியோ, தன் தபோ பலத்தால் "பத்தாயிரம் பேருக்கு சாப்பாடு போடுவார்".
அவருடைய தபோ பலம் அப்படிப்பட்டது.

தன் தபோ பலத்தை செலவழித்து, எத்தனை பேர் வந்தாலும் அன்னதானம் செய்து விடுவார் பரத்வாஜர்.

பரதன் அயோத்தி மக்களோடு கிளம்பி ராமபிரானை பார்க்க சித்ரகூடம் நோக்கி வந்தார்.

வரும் வழியில் பரத்வாஜர் ஆசிரமத்துக்கு தங்கினார்.

அன்று பரத்வாஜர் போட்ட அன்னதானத்தை சாப்பிட்டுவிட்டு,  "அயோத்தியை ராமர் ஆளட்டும், பரதன் ஆளட்டும். நாம் இங்கேயே இருந்து விடலாம்" என்று சொன்னார்கள் என்றால், பரத்வாஜர் செய்த அன்னதானம் எப்பேர்ப்பட்டது என்று அனுமானிக்கலாம்.




ராமபிரான் வனவாசம் முடிந்து, ராவண வதம் முடிந்து, இலங்கையில் இருந்து அயோத்தி திரும்பும் வழியில், 

இன்று பிரயாக்ராஜ் (பிரயாகை) என்று சொல்லப்படும் இடத்திற்கு புஷ்பக விமானத்தில் (flight) இருந்து இறங்கினார்.
அப்போதும் அனைவருக்கும் அன்னதானம் செய்தார் பரத்வாஜர்.

சாம வேதியான அப்பைய தீக்ஷிதர், பரத்வாஜ கோத்திரத்தை சேர்ந்தவர்.

அன்னதானம் செய்வதை உயர்வாக நினைப்பவனுக்கு பரத்வாஜரே குரு.

பரத்வாஜ ரிஷி பரம்பரையில் (கோத்திரம்) இருப்பவர்கள், அன்னதானம் செய்ய செய்ய, தன் ரிஷியை சந்தோஷப்படுத்துகிறார்கள்.

இவர் கோத்திரத்தில் பிறந்தவர்கள், ராம பக்தி செய்தால், பரத்வாஜ ரிஷி மிகவும் ஆனந்தப்படுகிறார்.

வனவாசம் முடித்தபிறகு, ராமபிரான் அயோத்திக்கு கிளம்ப தயாரானார். 

அப்போது வனத்தில் அவரது தரிசனம் பெற்ற பரத்வாஜ ரிஷி மற்றும் பல மகரிஷிகள், அவரை தங்களுடனேயே இருக்கும்படி வேண்டினர். 

தன்னை போலவே, சீதா, லக்ஷ்மணன் உட்பட ஒரு சிற்பம் வடித்து கொடுத்தார், 

தான் வேண்டுமா? இவர் வேண்டுமா? என்று கேட்டார் ராமர்.

இந்த அர்ச்சா இராமரின் அழகில் சொக்கி போய், "இவரே இருக்கட்டும்" என்றார்.

பரத்வாஜ ரிஷியும் மற்றும் பல ரிஷிகளும் அந்த சிலையை பார்த்தனர். அதன் அழகில் லயித்து, ராமபிரானிடம், 

"ராமா! இந்த சிலை உயிரோட்டம் உள்ளதாக உங்களை போலவே இருக்கிறது. அதை நாங்கள் வைத்து கொள்ள விரும்புகிறோம்" என்றனர். 

சிலையின் அழகில் மயங்கியிருந்த ரிஷிகள், தாங்கள் பூஜிக்க அச்சிலையை தரும்படி கேட்டனர். 

அதன்படி ராமர் அவர்களிடம் சிலையை கொடுத்துவிட்டு, அயோத்தி திரும்பினார். 

பிற்காலத்தில், திருக்கண்ணபுரத்தை சேர்ந்த பெருமாள் பக்தர்கள் இந்த சிலையை பூஜித்து வந்தனர். 

அந்நியர் படையெடுப்பின் போது, பாதுகாப்பிற்காக இச்சிலையை தலைஞாயிறு என்னும் தலத்தில் மறைத்து வைத்தனர். 

தஞ்சை மராட்டிய அரசர் சரபோஜி மஹாராஜர் தலைஞாயிறு எனும் இடத்தில் அரசமரத்தடியில் விக்ரஹங்கள் இருப்பதாக, ஒரு ஏகாதேசி தினத்தன்று கனவு கண்டார். 

அங்கு தோண்டியதில் கிடைத்த அற்புதமான ராமர் சீதை, லக்ஷ்மணன், ஆஞ்சநேய விக்ரஹங்களை, வடுவூர் ருக்மிணி சத்யபாமா சமேத ஸ்ரீ கோபாலன் கோவிலுள் பிரதிஷ்டை செய்தார். 

இந்த வடுவூர் ராமர் பேரழகு. பரத்வாஜ ரிஷி பார்த்த இந்த ராமரை, பாரத்வாஜ கோத்திரத்தை சேர்ந்த அனைவரும் கட்டாயம் தரிசிக்க வேண்டும். குல தெய்வமாக கொண்டாட வேண்டும்.

ஸ்ரீராமர் கோயில், வடுவூர் கோதண்டராமர் ஆலயம். திருவாரூர் மாவட்டம் மன்னார்குடிக்கு அருகில் உள்ளது.

Who can attain moksha? Do we have simple Guide to achieve this?

Who can attain moksha? Do we have simple Guide to achieve this?.... YES.

Yes. We have a simple guidance to achieve moksha..

Most of us did not understand this simple secret..
You will understand now... :)

Hinduism (Vedic Dharma) says 3 things...to achieve moksha
"Dharma, Arththa, Kama".

What does that mean?
Why did they mention "Dharma, Artha, Kama" in this order?..




We all know Money (Artha) is key to everything...
Even sanyasi do need Artha to live. 
That's why he also accept Biksha for his least minimal requirement.

Why can't they say "Artha, Kama, Dharma" instead?... 
Why did they say "Dharma, Artha, Kama" in this specific order?....

Let's analyse... So that we can understand the path to attain moksha.

1st we need to know Why Money (Artha) is kept between Dharma (for noble and spiritual cause) and Kaama (for personal desire)?.

If you born in this world, our vedic dharma agree that Money (Artha) is very important.
So it encourage everyone to earn money (wealth)
But how this money you earned should be spent?...

Vedic Dharma says...  "Spend your money as much as you can to noble cause and spiritual cause 1st.
If anything left, then spend the rest of money for your personal desires.."

Spend your hard earned money, more on helping Vedic Dharma.. Hence Dharma is given the 1st place..

If still you have money left, Spend those hard earned money for you and your family.. 
Since Money (Artha) is needed for both Dharma (spiritual & common cause) and Kaama (personal cause), it is kept in between Dharma and Kaama.

If you have the guts to lead such life, do not worry... 

Moksha is registered seat for you and you will never return back to earth and reborn.

Be proud to be Hindu.. 
Even a 3 words has ocean of meaning.  

Who created Religion? Who Protects Man Made Religion? Who Protects Hindu Dharma? How to be confident and be proud Hindu? - Lets us understand..

Vishnu is supreme god. He created all Demi Gods. He created world. He created us.
He gave us "Veda".

He came as Rama - we got "Ramayana"
He came as Krishna - we got "B.Gita and Bhagavatham".
He came as Varaha - we got "Varaha Purana"

Shankara came - we got "Rudram"
Karthikeya came - we got "Skandam".

Sadhus came and gave us devotional songs.

Jayadeva came - we got "Geeta govindam"

Gandhiji came - we got "My Experiments with Truth" (சத்திய சோதனை)




Even when Supreme God Vishnu, Shiva and demi Gods, Mahatma came to earth, we did not created "Rama Religion, Shiva Religion, Krishna religion, Tulasi Das religion, Gandhi Religion".

We all believed that we belong to "Vedic Dharma".
Even Gods who came to earth, lived as per Vedic Dharma.

Such is the beauty of Being Hindu.

Within Hindu (Vedic) community, Around 500BCE a Nepal Hindu King Siddharth saw death as reality for everyone and became Saint.  He was worshipped as Buddha during his time.

Some Hindus fall in Trap...
For the 1st time, a man made religion is formed in the name of Buddha.

For almost next 1000 Years from 500BCE, Lakhs of Vedic people fall in trap of this man made religion in this Bharat land.

Did Buddhism succeed due to 1000 years of conversion and able to erase Vedic dharma?
Absolutely No.

Hindus who were fallen to this man made religion for 10 generations, left this man made religion and returned back to their root.

Now we don't know, where is this buddhism in India?.

Nepal which gave birth to Buddha (Siddharth) as a hindu king is still Hindu Country.

Hindus may get mesmerized by fake man-made religion for some period.
Fake religion may even succeed to convert crores of hindu people into their religion for even 1000 years...
Still,
Hindus will be Hindus at heart. It can't be changed..
At one stage, 
everyone will return back to Vedic Dharma like they return back from Buddhism.

History is evident.
Man Made religions are created by "Humans".
Human success is time bound and limited. They are bound to fail.

Vedic Dharma (Hindu Dharma) is created by "Vedic Gods".
Even Vedic Gods don't like to create a religion on their name.
Our Vedic Dharma is protected by "Vedic Gods".
Vedic God are real and extremely powerful. They are boundless to Time and unlimited.

Hindus are protected by Vedic Gods.
Today a hindu may fall into fake religion.... 
But someone in his family, will born as Prahaladha to return back to his roots.

Be proud to be Hindu (Vedic people)

Q: People say moham (attachment) in anyforn is dangerous..   Is it bad to have attachment with our own child, especially daughter?

A: Absolutely no. This is not attachment. This is unconditional love. 
God himself have given this qualities to father and mother as a gift to the child. 
Child receives this gift from God thru parents. 
So don't think your love towards your child is coming from you. 
This unconditional love comes from god thru' you.  That's it. 

Remember, You don't show the same unconditional love to other child's like your child..  
So if you have unconditional love on your child, just continue to give your love as it's a gift from God thru' you... Don't restrict it... 

Q: If this conditional love continues for next 25 years and suddenly that daughter gets married and say good bye... It will be heart breaking correct?..  why the heart breaks during that time?

A: This is called Moham (Attachment).. You should not have moham on your daughter or anyone.. 
You must understand that you came to this earth alone, and you will go alone.. 
So moham (attachment) on others, or about you or about material asset is always dangerous as it will hurt you hard and might kill you.. 

So don't have moham, but always have unconditional love to everyone. Unconditional love won't hurt you..

Who is Strong? KARMA (Action) or GOD? Let's hear Candy seller story! Hindus Must Read....

There was a candy seller. He used to Wander around all the day to sell his candy.
Personally he is good person.

He made a living with his business for each day. It was a tough life to roam around streets in summer and winter. But he was brave enough to lead his life.

Every day, He used to pass through a Shiva temple in his street. 
He had never worshiped Lord Shiva till date.

Instead of Worshipping Shiva, he used to Taunt Shiva by shouting at him "Look at me... How much struggle i am going thru' everyday".

He never believed or had the respect on Lord Shiva that "He is more powerful than human. Shiva can help him to bring a change to his tough life"
Instead, he used to hate Lord Shiva and scold him always.

One Day, Parvati Devi had mercy on him, though he shouts and hate Shiva.
Hence She asked Lord Shiva, "Have mercy on him."

Shiva said, 
"Parvati, Look at him. He have no devotion on me! Moreover, he hates me and shouts at me.
His life, His struggle and his little happiness are just results of his Karma (actions) made by him in previous births.
Since you are requesting me personally, i would still go ahead and show mercy over him.

I will give place a Jewellery Box filled with Diamonds and Gold tomorrow on the same path that he pass by.  
Let him take this Jewellery Box as Gift from me and live happily without worry.   
Since he do not believe in me, i don't want reveal my blessings to him.  

Let him think that 'It's his luck which gave him this Jewellery Box'."

As informed to Parvati devi, Shiva placed a Jewellery Box in the same path where he used to pass thru' to sell his candy.

Parvati was extremely happy. 

Next day, that candy seller took all his candy and started walking around the streets.  Finally, He reached the same street where Shiva kept the Jewellery Box filled with Diamonds and Golds.

By the time, he reached that street, he imagined a situation and asked himself 
"I am strong today and able to walk all around the streets to sell my candy. 
What will i do, if lose my Eye sight as grow old?  
How about i should prepare myself to walk blind?"

After that, immediately that candy seller closed his eyes to practice himself whether he could walk and cross that street.   

With eyes closed, he walked and passed the Jewellery Box kept in the street. 

After passing the Jewellery Box, he opened his eyes and felt proud that "He could survive closing his eyes.  He felt he can continue his business even if he became blind in future".  

But he does not know, that he lost the huge wealth which would have given him the wealthy life.

After few minutes, another men came walking in the same street.  
He saw the Jewellery Box.  
His Karma was good on that day and took the Jewellery Box filled with Golds and Diamonds. 

Seeing this Parvati Devi was surprised and asked Shiva, 
"What's happening here?..   Why did he suddenly closed his eyes?.  How unfortunate he is !"

Shiva told, 
"Parvati...   Karma is very strong.  No one can overcome Karma.
His Karma is driving him to stay strugglling thru'out his life, despite the chance i gave to him to become wealthy. 
Karma is more powerful for him.

But, I would tell you the secret !!  
Karma is very strong for those who don't believe in me or Narayana (Supreme Vedic God). 

He never had respect on me.  
He never believed that i can solve all his struggles.  
He believed in shouting at me, criticize me to vent out his anger.   

Those who hate me or Narayana, are free to live the way they like.   
They can also live happily, They can also live wealthy..  
But it is purely depends on their Karma. 

Those who hate me or Narayana, 
if they continue to do Good Karma (actions), they will also get all the benefits based on their Good Karma.  
That Karma results are given by us only.

Those who hate me or Narayana, 
if they continue to do Bad Karma (actions), they will also get all the sufferings based on their Bad Karma.   
That Karma results are given by us only.




But we Vedic Gods never involve to guide them in right path or stop them doing bad karma as they don't want us to help ! They born again and again in this world, till they realize this fact. 

Those who hate me or Narayana, Karma is very strong for them.

If this Candy Seller, even had little devotion over me and trusted me, My mercy would have overcome his Karma Effect. 
He would have seen the gift today, placed in front of him.

Devotion over me or Narayana can destroy the Karma Effect. 
Our Blessings are stronger than Karma.

Those who love me or Narayana, gets blessed by us. Karma effects will not touch our devotees based on the Trust they have with us.
Even If my devotee do wrong things, they will be guided by us to become a good person sooner. 

Due to Karma, If our Devotee is going thru' tough phase, we will protect them against their Karma effect.  

If a person who don't have devotion on us, if they do Bad things (Karma), we are left with no option to change their behaviour, as they dont need our help.

If a person who don't have devotion on us, if they do Good things, we are left with no option to enhance their good behaviour more and more.

Vedic Gods don't expect any thing from human. 
We just expect true devotion and respect from them.

This devotion and Respect is enough for us to remove the Karma effect and bless them."

This is lesson for all of us.   

All Worries will vanish to those who are devotee of Shiva or Narayana.  

Karma is stronger for those who don't have devotion and love on Shiva or Narayana (Vedic Gods).

God's mercy is stronger than Karma.

Let us all Be Proud to be HINDU.   We all are HINDUS.  
Let's be Proud to be HINDU.
