O jiva soul, arise and give up your sleep. Chant the holy names of Lord Hari, who is the giver of liberation; the enemy of the Mura demon; the supreme enjoyer; the all-attractive one; and the horse-headed incarnation, Hayagriva. 2) Lord Hari [Krsna] incarnated as the half-man, half-lion, Nrsimha. He appeared as a dwarf-brahmana named Upendra and is the killer of the Madhu demon. He is the beloved son of the King of Vraja, Nanda Maharaja, and is blackish in complexion. He is the slayer of the Putana witch and the destroyer of the demon Kaitabha. All glories to Lord Hari, who appeared as Lord Rama, the son of King Dasaratha. 3) He is the darling of mother Yasoda; the giver of pleasure to the cows, land, and spiritual senses; and the protector of the cows. He is the Lord of the Vrndavana forest; the gopis' beloved; the lover of Radhika; and the most beautiful personality in all the worlds. 4) As Ramacandra He brought about the end of the demoniac King Ravana; as Krsna He stole the older gopis' butter; He stole the younger gopis' clothes while they were bathing in the Yamuna. He is a cowherd boy of Vraja and the protector of the cowherd boys. He steals the hearts of all and always holds a flute. 5) Lord Krsna is worshiped by the best of yogis and is the son of Nanda. He removes all the fears of the inhabitants of Vraja. He is the color of a fresh rain cloud, and His form is enchanting. When He wanders about, playing His flute, He looks very charming. 6) He is the son of Yasoda and the killer of King Kamsa, and He sports in the rasa dance among the groves of Vraja. Krsna engages in this rasa dance underneath the kadamba trees, and He resides in the forest of Vrndavana. 7) He increases the ecstasy of His devotees. He is the reservoir of all love and is the transcendental Cupid who uses His flowered arrows to increase the loving desires of the gopis. He is the pleasure of the gopis' hearts and the abode of all wonderful qualities. 8) Lord Krsna is the life of the River Yamuna. He is always absorbed in amorous pastimes, and He is the moon of the gopis' minds, which are like the cakora birds that subsist only upon moonlight. O mind, obey these words of mine and sing the glories of Sri Krsna in the form of these holy names, which are full of nectarean mellows.

Tonight's lecture is a Hallowe'en special! After all, Śaiva and Śakta Tantra is chock full of ghoulish mortuary iconography: Mā Kālī's garland of skulls, Lord Śiva's garland of snakes, their retinue of ghosts, goblins and vampires, their home in the cremation grounds (ghat), fierce fanged dākinī and yoginīs and so much more. It's no wonder Hallowe'en is my favorite holiday! Tonight, to celebrate, let's discuss Tantrik demonology and the role of mortuary and gory iconography in texts like Bhairava Stava of Abhinava Gupta, Candi and Swami Vivekananda's poems to Mā Kālī. The first part of this lecture is just an introduction to the zoology of supernatural beings mentioned in Indian literature and spiritual texts like the Purānas, Rāmāyana and Mahābhārata etc. (listed below for your convenience) and the second part of the lecture is a discussion on 4 or 5 ways to "exorcise" or at least banish the influence of these spirits in your own home so that you may practice safely and uninterruptedly.

Ashtavinayak ki kahaniyaan (Stories of 8 famous wish fulfilling Ganesha temples)
Bhagwan Ganapati or Ganesha is one of the most worshipped deities in India. According to the legend, the demons Madhu and Kaitabha originated from the ears of Lord Vishnu during his Yoga Nidra (a state of consciousness between waking up and sleeping). The two demons obtained a boon from Goddess Shakti as per which they cannot be killed by any Deva or Asura unless they want to die willingly. At that time, Lord Brahma was contemplating the creation of the universe and for which he required the Vedas. The demons stole the Vedas from Lord Brahma. Lord Brahma requested Lord Vishnu for help. Lord Vishnu woke up from his deep sleep and took the form of a Hayagriva (a horse-faced creature). The battle between the Hayagriva and the two demons lasted five thousand years. Lord Vishnu realized that these demons were invincible until they were relieved of the boon granted by Goddess Shakti. He was also advised by Lord Shiva to see the blessings of Lord Ganesha before slaying the demons. It is believed that Siddhatek was the place where Lord Vishnu asked for Lord Ganesha's blessings which the later granted happily. It is believed that Lord Vishnu himself constructed the original unique four-door temple dedicated to Lord Ganesha. However, due to natural reasons, the temple perished. Under the Peshwa rule, the temple was reconstructed and consecrated with the original idol. The word Ashtvinayaka is a Sanskrit word that means Eight Ganeshas. These eight temples are located in different places, and all of them are considered ‘Swayambhu' or self-originated. These deities are “jagrut,” which means they fulfill the wishes of their devotees. भगवान गणपति या गणेश भारत में सबसे अधिक पूजे जाने वाले देवताओं में से एक हैं। पौराणिक कथा के अनुसार, राक्षस मधु और कैटभ भगवान विष्णु के कानों से उनकी योग निद्रा (जागने और सोने के बीच चेतना की स्थिति) के दौरान उत्पन्न हुए थे। दोनों राक्षसों ने देवी शक्ति से एक वरदान प्राप्त किया जिसके अनुसार उन्हें किसी भी देव या असुर द्वारा तब तक नहीं मारा जा सकता जब तक कि वे स्वेच्छा से मरना नहीं चाहते। उस समय, भगवान ब्रह्मा ब्रह्मांड के निर्माण पर विचार कर रहे थे और जिसके लिए उन्हें वेदों की आवश्यकता थी। राक्षसों ने भगवान ब्रह्मा से वेदों को चुरा लिया। भगवान ब्रह्मा ने भगवान विष्णु से मदद मांगी। भगवान विष्णु अपनी गहरी नींद से जाग गए और एक हयग्रीव (घोड़े के चेहरे वाला प्राणी) का रूप धारण कर लिया। हयग्रीव और दो राक्षसों के बीच की लड़ाई पांच हजार साल तक चली। भगवान विष्णु ने महसूस किया कि देवी शक्ति द्वारा दिए गए वरदान से मुक्त होने तक ये राक्षस अजेय थे। उन्हें भगवान शिव ने राक्षसों का वध करने से पहले भगवान गणेश का आशीर्वाद देखने की भी सलाह दी थी। ऐसा माना जाता है कि सिद्धटेक वह स्थान था जहां भगवान विष्णु ने भगवान गणेश से आशीर्वाद मांगा था, जिसे बाद में खुशी-खुशी दिया गया। ऐसा माना जाता है कि भगवान विष्णु ने स्वयं भगवान गणेश को समर्पित मूल अद्वितीय चार दरवाजे वाले मंदिर का निर्माण किया था। हालांकि, प्राकृतिक कारणों से मंदिर नष्ट हो गया। पेशवा शासन के तहत, मंदिर का पुनर्निर्माण किया गया और मूल मूर्ति के साथ संरक्षित किया गया। अष्टविनायक शब्द संस्कृत का शब्द है जिसका अर्थ है आठ गणेश। ये आठ मंदिर अलग-अलग जगहों पर स्थित हैं, और इन सभी को 'स्वयंभू' माना जाता है। ये देवता "जागृत" हैं, जिसका अर्थ है कि वे अपने भक्तों की इच्छाओं को पूरा करते हैं। Learn more about your ad choices.

Madhusudana is one of the many names of Lord Vishnu. In the Vishnu Sahasranamam (hymn comprising the 1000 names of Vishnu), this is the 73rd name. Vishnu has twelve secondary forms, of which Madhusudana is the 6th. Vishnu got this name after he killed the demons, Madhu and Kaitabha, who stole the Vedas from Brahma. The composer of Madhusudana Stotram is Sage Shukha. Chanting this sacred hymn is believed to free one from past and present sins, remove hardship, sorrow, and depression caused by bad karma, and bestow good health and salvation.

Ma Durga, also known as Mahishasur Mardini as she had killed the buffalo headed demon called, Mahishaur. This occasion is celebrated as Navratri. The Mahishasura Mardini Stotram holds immense significance during Navratri. Composed by the great sage Adi Shankaracharya. This stotram is based on the Devi Mahatmyam and extols the different powers (shaktis) of the Devi. The Devi takes different forms of Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati and destroys the demons - Madhu and Kaitabha, Mahishasura, and Sumbha and Nisumbha.
Śrī Bhagavān said: ‘Salutation to the Devī Prakṛti, the Creatrix; I bow down again and again to Thee. Thou art all-auspicious and grantest the desires of Thy devotees; Thou art of the nature of siddhi (spiritual success) and vṛddhi (increase). I bow down again and again to Thee. I bow down to the World Mother, Who is of the nature of Everlasting Existence, Intelligence and Bliss. O Devī! Thou createst, preservest and destroyest this Universe; Thou doest the pralaya (the great Dissolution) and showest favor to the created beings. Thus Thou art the Authoress of the above five-fold things that are done; so, O Bhuvaneśvarī, I bow down to Thee! Thou art the great efficient and material cause of the changeful. Thou art the Unchangeable, Immoveable Consciousness; Thou art the half-letter (ardhamātrā), hrillekhā (the consciousness that ever pervades both inside and outside the Universe, denoted by the bīja-mantra hṛīṁ); Thou art the Supreme Soul and the individual soul. Salutation again and again to Thee! O Mother! I now realize fully well that this whole Universe rests on Thee; it rises from Thee and again melts away in Thee. The creation of this Universe shews Thy infinite force. Verily, Thou art become Thyself all these lokas (planetary regions). During the time of creation Thou createst the two formless elements akāsā and vāyu and the three elements with form—fire, water, and earth—then with these Thou createst the whole Universe and shewest this to the Enjoyer Puruṣa, who is of the nature of consciousness, for His satisfaction. Thou again dost become the material cause of the twenty-three tattvas: mahat, etc., as enumerated in the Sāṅkhya system and appearest to us like a mirage. 32. O Mother! Were it not for Thee, no object would be visible, Thou pervadest the whole Universe. It is for this reason that those persons that are wise declare that even the Highest Puruṣa can do no work without Thy aid. 33-34. O Devī! Thou createst and art giving satisfaction to the whole Universe by Thy power; again at the time of pralaya Thou swallowest forcibly all these that are seen. So, O Devī! Who can fathom Thy powers? O Mother! Thou didst save us from the hands of Madhu and Kaitabha. Then Thou hast brought us to this Maṇi-Dvīpa and shewed us Thy own form, all the extended regions and immense powers and given us exquisite delight and joy. This is the highest place of happiness. 35-37. O Mother! When I Myself, Śaṅkara and Brahmā or anyone of us is unable to fathom Thy inconceivable glory, who else can then ascertain Thee? O Bhavānī! Who knows how many more than the several regions that we saw reflected in thy nails of Thy feet, exist in Thy creation? O One endowed with infinitely great powers! O Devī! we saw another Viṣṇu, another Hara, another Brahmā, all of great celebrity in the Universe exhibited by Thee; who knows how many other such Brahmās, etc., exist in Thy other Universes? Thy glory is infinite. O Mother! I bow down again and again to Thy lotus feet and pray to Thee that this Thy form may exist always in my mind. May my mouth always utter Thy name, and may my two eyes see always Thy lotus feet. 38-43. O Revered One! May I remember Thee as my Goddess and may Thou constantly look on myself as Thy humble servant. O Mother! What more shall I say than this: May this relation as mother and son always exist between Thee and me. O World-Mother! There is nothing in this world that is not known to Thee, for Thou art omniscient. So O Bhavānī! What more shall my humble self declare to Thee? Now dost Thou do whatever Thou desirest. O Devī! The rumour goes that Brahmā is the Creator, Viṣṇu is the Preserver, and Maheśvara is the Destroyer! Is this true? O Eternal One! It is only through Thy will power, through Thy force, that we create, preserve and destroy.
Hier wird Krishna als „Madhusudana“ bezeichnet. Das Bedeutet „der Zerstörer Madhus“. Einer Legende nach tötete Vishnu in der Inkarnation als Hayagriva (Krishna ist eine weitere Inkarnation Vishnus) die Dämonen Madhu und Kaitabha. Die zwölf Teile der beiden verbleibenden leblosen Körper entsprechen nach dieser Legende den zwölf tektonischen Platten der Erde. Willst du dein Yogawissen erweitern und vertiefen, dann kannst du die Yogalehrer Ausbildung bei uns absolvieren. Hier findest du mehr dazu.
