Podcasts about Durg

Earlier this week, we celebrated the Spring Goddess Festival, Chaitra Navarātri or the 9 nights of the Mā Durgā! Naturally, we had a conversation about the very profound and very elaborate Durgā Pūjā which is performed on the last five days of the festival. We discussed how the Durgā Pūjā is the modern equivalent of the Vedic sacrifice par excellence, the Aśvamedha Yajña (horse sacrifice) and how performing Durgā pūjā can create the same amount of spiritual and secular merit! We discussed the communal aspects of Durgā Pūjā, mainly to explain why it is only open to householders. After our inquiry into why householders tend to be favored in the Vedic and Tantrik ritual traditions, we then offer a Durgā Pūjā substitute as per the teaching in the Kulārnava Tantra chapter on mantra-japa. We close with offering a simple durgā pūjā, a five-item offering that anyone can do to connect to the energy that is Durgā, who is none other than Kālī, who is your very own essence nature!To worship, Durgā, first chant this mantra while visualizing her form in your heart: oṁ hrīṁ kālābhrābhāṁ kaṭākṣair arikulabhayadāṁ maulibaddhendurekhām śaṅkhaṁ cakraṁ kṛpāṇaṁ triśikham api karair udvahantīṁ trinetrām। siṁhaskandhādhirūḍhāṁ tribhuvanam akhilaṁ tejasā pūrayantīṁ dhyāyed durgāṁ jayākhyāṁ tridaśaparivṛtāṁ sevitāṁ siddhikāmaiḥ॥"one should meditation on Durgā who is called the Victorious One who is radiant like a dark storm cloud, who casts a sidelong glance at the group of foes, thus terrifying them, with a crescent moon tucked into her crown while holding a conch, discus, sword and trident in her hands, three eyed, riding on the shoulders on a lion, filling the three worlds with her radiance, surrounded by the 30 (33) gods* and who is worshipped by those desiring perfection and pleasure!"Then, imagine she is present in the candle/lamp/picture or statue and offer the following items with the following mantras:Offer flower with perfume or fragrant oil:oṁ hrīṁ durge durge rakṣiṇi svāhā eṣa gandhaḥ jayadurgāyai namaḥOffer flower with sandalwood paste or just any fragrant flower:oṁ hrīṁ durge durge rakṣiṇi svāhā idaṁ sacandanapuṣpaṁ jayadurgāyai namaḥOffer a vilva leaf (or alternatively, any other three-petalled leaf) w/ sandalwood paste:oṁ hrīṁ durge durge rakṣiṇi svāhā idaṁ sacandanavilvapatraṁ / vilvapatrārthatripatraṁ jayadurgāyai namaḥ Offer incense:oṁ hrīṁ durge durge rakṣiṇi svāhā eṣa dhūpaḥ jayadurgāyai namaḥ Offer a light / candle:oṁ hrīṁ durge durge rakṣiṇi svāhā eṣa dīpaḥ jayadurgāyai namaḥPS: while you wave the incense and light clockwise around your deity (thrice around the feet, thrice around the heart, four times around the face and thrice around the whole statue/picture), you can chant the Durgā Gayatrī Mantra or the following: oṁ jayantī maṅgalā kālī bhadrakālī kapālinīdurgā śivā kṣamā dhātrī svāhā svadhā namo'stuteThen, Offer some sweets or fruits:oṁ hrīṁ durge durge rakṣiṇi svāhā idaṁ naivedyaṁ jayadurgāyai namaḥOffer wine and/or water:oṁ hrīṁ durge durge rakṣiṇi svāhā idaṁ karanodakaṁ jayadurgāyai namaḥ (for wine)oṁ hrīṁ durge durge rakṣiṇi svāhā idaṁ pāniyōdakaṁ jayadurgāyai namaḥ (for water)(you can consume the fruits, sweets, water and wine afterwards if you like or distribute them to friends/family) I ran out of words!

In dieser Folge erfahrt ihr, wer Durgā ist - zumindest, wie es die alten Traditionen überliefern - warum feiern wir Durgā ganze 9 Nächte lang und sogar 10 Tage? Was bedeutet der Name Durgā und vor allem, welche sind die 10 Merkmale oder Erkennungszeichen von Durgā? Und wie immer ist diese Folge gespickt von Sanskrit-Begriffen, so dass Du hier beim Hören des Podcasts auch ganz nebenbei etwas Sanskrit mitlernen und in Deinen Wortschatz aufnehmen kannst.

The month begins with Mercury at its exaltation degree in Virgo, conjunct Ketu, during an annular solar eclipse. This is a time of purification, on many levels. This is followed by the nine nights of the goddess, or Navaratri, where worship of goddess Durgā can help us transform our darker impulses into light. As nature begins to slip into its slumber, we can go within to awaken. As the saying goes, “The only way out is in”, which is apt for a Ketu eclipse, a comet, and an asteroid, all due to come into view in October. We must look within for the significance of these sky events in our own lives, even when dramatic world events are likely to grab our attention.  Mercury's strength and the combined eclipse can bring a practical approach to any challenges. A Virgo eclipse changes something in our daily lives. Ketu can remove problems but also remove too much in the process, leaving feeling ungrounded. Venus in Libra for the first couple of weeks may make it easier to find balance in the process. Jupiter stations retrograde on Oct 9, holding in place before shifting our awareness inward, so we can tap into the next appropriate step. Whatever has been presented thus far, we must look within for guidance. Jupiter's retrograde in Taurus asks us to question whether sensual comforts are enough. Venus enters Scorpio by Oct 13, presenting further challenges to peace, especially as Mars is about to enter Cancer. Venus looks to Taurus and Jupiter placed therein, reflecting our desire for peace and harmony, but perhaps because of their apparent lack. By Oct 20, Mars enters its sign of debilitation in Cancer while the Sun moves into its debilitation in Libra. This creates a tense and frustrated configuration, with a weakened Mars influencing a weakened Sun. Leaders around the world are likely challenged and we may even see one step down for some reason. Mars opposes Pluto in Capricorn as it slows down in Cancer, signalling a crucial phase between these two planets over many months. This is likely to manifest as internal conflicts and more obvious power struggles on the world stage. Whatever happens in early October is likely a big theme we return to in 2025.Finally, if you were to get up before sunrise between Sep 27 and Oct 2, you may be able to view Comet A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) in the east (northern hemisphere) just before sunrise, and again in the west just after sunset between Oct 12 and Oct 30. The comet will be positioned below Regulus (Maghā), the brightest star in the constellation Leo. This is yet another indication of the downfall of a leader. The recent indictment of New York's mayor and Sean "Diddy" Combs' arrest are just two examples of Leonian figures. To top off some dramatic skies in October, a newly discovered asteroid is due for a fly-by from Sep 29 to Nov 25, although it may not be visible to the naked eye. ​Eclipses and comets were referred to as Ketus in ancient India. Ketu, the significator of loss, is the main story in October, it seems, where some losses are almost certainly par for the course, as things are dredged up from the past to be removed.

We are currently in weeks that are known as the Shovavim , which is a word from a pasuk שׁוּבוּ בָּנִים שׁוֹבָבִים / Return wayward children . These weeks have that name based on the parshiot we read on Shabbat: ש מות ו ארא ב א ב שלח י תרו מ שפטים The first letter of each word says spells שובבים / Shovavim , and therefore it's a time of teshuva, and he great rabbis of Kabbala tell us that it's specifically a time of teshuva in the areas of self-control, such as looking at things that are inappropriate and the like. Durg these weeks, there are people that say extra tehilim , there are people that fast and many other such activities. The great Mashgiach, Rav Don Segal asked his teacher Rav Yehezkiel Levenstein what one should be doing during the weeks of Shovavim , and he answered, “Work on Emuna, work on your faith.” He proved it because Shovavim are the Parashiot of Yetziat Mitzrayim. Obviously, these weeks weren't just chosen because they spell the acronym Shovavim . They were chosen because of the message of those parshiot , which is Emuna . But Rav Haskel did not explain why working on Emuna helps in areas of self-control. Rav Don Segal, his student, explained that when a person takes a forbidden desire, he basically wants to enjoy this world, and deep down, he thinks that he's in control of his life and enjoyment. So, if he wants to eat something that tastes good, even though it might not have the best Hashgacha(or any other break in self-control, whatever it may be), he thinks, ‘I'm going to enjoy something that I can control.' But if he'd realize that all of the pleasures of the world are decided by Hashem, then he'd know that whatever he controls himself from, he will eventually get back later and better. He can't gain now by taking an illegal pleasure; he would rather get it later in a legal pleasure. The Steipler writes in a letter of Hizuk in his Sefer Kryna D'igreta (volume 1 letter 109) that a person has to know that when he controls himself and withstands a test, beside a great kiddush Hashem, and beside the great zechut he has, in this world, he will see the deliciousness in the long run. In the words of the great Steipler, “ Any pleasure that a person holds back from, in honor of Hashem, will be paid back to him someplace else ,in a permissible way.” He goes on to say that this is well known, that people that control themselves, in the long run get it back . We actually find this in a Mishna in Pirkei Avot. ‘ What is the loss of a mitzvah, and what's the benefit?' There are always loss/gain calculations. Rebbenu Yona explains that when a person says, “ How can I do this mitzvah,” or “How can I control myself from this avera? I'm going to lose out. ” You should tell yourself, ‘There's a great reward, double or 10 times or a thousand times greater than the loss when I control myself, and therefore I will not lose out.' Furthermore, the GRA writes in the sefer Aderet Eliyahu (Bereshit 2,9) “ Anything that comes to the man of desire, after all his hard work in a forbidden area, comes to the simple people, in the right way, without hard work.” Additionally, the Sefer Hasidim writes in chapter 155, “ God gives those that love Him, their heart's desires in the future- great pleasures, greater than all of the forbidden pleasures that a person has.” This is important to know. People plan winter vacations, and they take measures to be in more kosher situations. Sometimes it's not as fun or enjoyable, seemingly, as the not-so-kosher approach. But you have to know, and your Emuna has to tell you, that you will enjoy more in the long run in any area. For a simple example, imagine someone who eats in an establishment doesn't have the best Hashgacha, because it has such a wonderful menu. It looks like he's enjoying and the fellow that's refraining is losing out. But who knows? In years to come, one of them will have a lactose intolerance and he won't be able to eat anything and the other one won't. We don't know. We can't measure. But we have to believe that Hashem is fair, and that whenever we control ourselves, it pays off. That's the Emuna that's necessary for self-control. Have a wonderful day.

In the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam we find the following verse; "The woman, created by the Lord, is the representation of māyā, and one who associates with such māyā by accepting services must certainly know that this is the way of death, just like a blind well covered with grass." - ŚB 3.31.40 Is this also true for our devotee wives? Are they representing Lakṣmī or Durgā? Kṛṣṇa says in Bhavavad-gīta "I am sex life which is not contrary to religious principles", are we householders using sex only in the service of The Lord? How should wives deal with this & how should husbands get freed from this tendency? Let us discuss this very important topic tonight. Hare Kṛṣṇa. All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!

Nārada said, “O Brahmā, dear, of great intellect, please tell me, O most eloquent one. When Viṣṇu went away what happened? O what did you do?” Brahmā said, “O brāhmaṇa, best of my sons, listen attentively to what I did when lord Viṣṇu went away. I began a continuous laudatory prayer of the Goddess Durgā, the beloved of Śiva, the creator of the universe, of the nature of vidyā and avidyā, and identical with the pure supreme Brahman: ‘I salute the Goddess who is omnipresent, eternal, for whom there is no support, who is never distressed, who is the Mother of the three deities, who is the grossest of the gross and yet has no form. O Goddess of the devas, you are Perfect Knowledge, Supreme Bliss, identical with the Supreme Soul. Be pleased. Grant me the fulfilment of my task. Obeisance to You.' O celestial sage, on being thus lauded Caṇḍikā, the mystic slumber, appeared before me. Her complexion had the glossy hue of collyrium. She had comely features. She had four divine arms. She was seated on a Lion. She showed the mystic gesture of granting boons by one of her hands, and pearls adorned Her dishevelled hair. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shivadyuti/message

Arthashastra's Saptaanga State: The Durg, Danda and Kosh | Sumedha Verma Ojha | #SangamTalks SrijanTalks

Kalinga durg by Acharya chatursen narrated by Rani Ratta.

बारह ज्योतिर्लिंगों में सोमनाथ का अग्रणी स्थान है। अन्य विदेशी आक्रमणकारियों के अलावा महमूद गजनवी ने इस आदि-मंदिर के वैभव को 16 बार लूटा। पर सूर्यवंशी राजाओं के पराक्रम से वह भय भी खाता था। फिर भी लूट का यह सिलसिला सदियों तक चला। यह सब इस उपन्यास की पृष्ठभूमि है। 'सोमनाथ' का दूसरा पक्ष भी है जो उपन्यास में जीवंत हुआ है। मंदिर के विशाल प्रांगण में गूंजती घुंघरुओं की झनकार इस जीवन की लय को ताल देती है। जीवन का यह संगीत भारत के जनमानस का संगीत है। आततायियों के नगाड़ों का शोर इसे दबा नहीं पाता। एक अजब सी शक्ति से वह फिर-फिर उठता है और करता है-एक और पुनर्निर्माण। निर्माण और विध्वंस की यही शृंखला इस कथा का आधार है। उपन्यास - सोमनाथ Novel - Somnath लेखक - आचार्य चतुरसेन शास्त्री Writer - Acharya Chatursen Shastri स्वर - समीर गोस्वामी Narration - Sameer Goswami https://kahanisuno.com/ http://instagram.com/sameergoswami_kahanisuno https://www.facebook.com/kahanisuno/ http://twitter.com/goswamisameer/ https://sameergoswami.com

The autumnal Navarātri festival—also called Durgā Pūjā, Dassehra, or Dasain—is the most important Hindu festival in South Asia and wherever Hindus settle. A nine-night-long celebration in honor of the goddess Durgā, it ends on the tenth day with a celebration called “the victorious tenth” (vijayadaśamī). The rituals that take place in domestic, royal, and public spaces are closely connected with one's station in life and dependent on social status, economic class, caste, and gender issues.  Exploring different aspects of the festival as celebrated in diverse regions of South Asia and in the South Asian diaspora, Ute Hüsken, Vasudha Narayanan and Astrid Zotter's Nine Nights of Power: Durgā, Dolls, and Darbārs (SUNY Press, 2021) addresses the following common questions: What does this festival do? What does it achieve, and how? Why and in what way does it sometimes fail? How do mass communication and social media increase participation in and contribute to the changing nature of the festival? The contributors address these questions from multiple perspectives and discuss issues of agency, authority, ritual efficacy, change, appropriation, and adaptation. Because of the festival's reach beyond its diverse celebrations in South Asia, its influence can be seen in the rituals and dances in many parts of Western Europe and North America.

In Bhagavad-gītā (6.41) Kṛṣṇa says, śucīnāṁ śrīmatāṁ gehe yoga-bhraṣṭo 'bhijāyate: “Because of his previous connection with bhakti-yoga, a man is born into a prestigious family of brāhmaṇas or aristocrats.” Having taken such a birth, one should utilize it to perfect bhakti-yoga. However, due to bad association one often forgets that his prestigious position has been given to him by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and he misuses it by performing various kinds of so-called yajñas like Kālī-pūjā or Durgā-pūjā, in which poor animals are sacrificed. How such a person is punished is described herein.

आगरा के ताज व्यू पॉइंट पर सजी संगीत की महफ़िल, 28th तारक़ से दुर्ग निज़ामुद्दीन ट्रैन चलायी जाएगी और आगरा में, हाल ही में, कोरोना वायरस का एक भी केस नहीं मिला है।

The goddess of fortune, Lakṣmīdevī, states that she does not bestow her favor on any materialistic person. Although sometimes a materialist becomes very opulent in the eyes of another materialist, such opulence is bestowed upon him by the goddess Durgādevī, a material expansion of the goddess of fortune, not by Lakṣmīdevī herself. By pleasing Goddess Durgā one can obtain such benefits, but since they are temporary, they result only in māyā-sukha (illusory happiness).

Things are back to normal. Host gonna host, Durgan gonna Durg and there are absolutely no problems. Everything's fine and this is just a normal weekly episode like all of the previous weekly episodes. Everything's fine now.

Heroic Saktism is the belief that a good king and a true warrior must worship the goddess Durga, the form and substance of kingship. This belief formed the bedrock of ancient Indian practices of cultivating political power. Wildly dangerous and serenely benevolent at one and the same time, the goddess's charismatic split nature promised rewards for a hero and king and success in risky ventures. Heroic Shāktism: The Cult of Durgā in Ancient Indian Kingship (Oxford UP, 2017) is the first expansive historical treatment of the cult of Durga and the role it played in shaping ideas and rituals of heroism in India between the 3rd and the 12th centuries CE.

How we deal with challenges and tragedy is reflected and informed in the stories and art of our society, this is not always the same in different cultures. What can we learn from the way ancient cultures portray challenges in life?Dr Bihani Sarkar, is a scholar of Sanskrit and ancient Indian culture, language, history and society. She is an associate faculty member of the Oriental Institute at Oxford University, and member of Wolfson College. Bihani has a doctorate in Sanskrit from Oxford University, where she focused on the cult of the warrior goddess Durga in medieval Indian kingship. This research was the basis for her first book. She has subsequently held postdoctoral fellowships at Hamburg University, was a British Academy postdoctoral fellow at Oxford University, and has been a Teaching Fellow at Leeds University. Bihani has just published her second book, titled “Classical Sanskrit Tragedy: the concept of suffering and grief in medieval India”. This book focuses on the way tragedy is dealt with in ancient Indian text, which is what we dig deeper into this episode. We will see what we can learn from these ancient texts and the way that they portrayed people overcoming mental and emotional obstacles.Links:https://www.orinst.ox.ac.uk/people/bihani-sarkarBook: Heroic Shāktism - The Cult of Durgā in Ancient Indian Kingshiphttps://global.oup.com/academic/product/heroic-shktism-9780197266106?cc=gb&lang=en&Book: Classical Sanskrit Tragedy - The Concept of Suffering and Pathos in Medieval Indiahttps://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/classical-sanskrit-tragedy-9781788311113/

Why are the myths of the Indian Great Goddess, Durgā, found in the Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa framed by myths glorifying the Sun, Sūrya? And why do these glorifications mirror each other in both content and form? In exploring these questions, this book argues for an ideological ecosystem at work in the Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa privileging worldly (pravṛtti) values, of which Indian kings, the Goddess (Devī), the Sun (Sūrya) and sage Mārkaṇḍeya himself are paragons. Join us in the “flip interview” as as your New Books Network Hindu Studies host Raj Balkaran (University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies) is interviewed on his new book, The Goddess and the Sun in Indian Myth: Power, Preservation and Mirrored Māhātmyas in the Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa (Routledge, 2020) by guest-interviewer Christopher Austen.

In Vṛndāvana there is Lord Śiva’s temple called Gopīśvara. The gopīs used to worship not only Lord Śiva but Kātyāyanī, or Durgā, as well, but their aim was to attain the favor of Lord Kṛṣṇa. A devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa does not disrespect Lord Śiva, but worships Lord Śiva as the most exalted devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa. Consequently whenever a devotee worships Lord Śiva, he prays to Lord Śiva to achieve the favor of Kṛṣṇa, and he does not request material profit.
