Secret symbolism hidden within the Story of Navaratri. Argala Stotram 7B

The story of Navaratri, the nine days of war between asuras and the Devi is reviewed ion this episode 7B as a symbolism of the process of evolution of the human mind. From the delusion of the world, the mind can be lead slowly towards clarity and the unveiling of Devi within each of us. This process is shown as a fight between the Devi and various Asuras, who are just the different stumbling blocks in our path to realisation. I have isolated each story and explained the symbolism within it. About Argala Stotram: Dedicated to the Mother Goddess Durga, Argala Stotram is a powerful Chant. It praises the Devi Who defeats and destroys all the Asuras and Who, as the Protector, takes care of All Creation. Asuras are not just external forces, they are also representative of our own internal negative tendencies, which need to be defeated if we are to experience the beauty of our inner god.

Roga Nivara Stotram- the chant to cure all ailments.

The Roga Nivarana Stotram can be chanted to Invoke the Healing Powers of Shree Dhanvantari, a form of Shree Vishnu. In this period of pandemic and widespread fear, stotras such as this perform the work of medicines, healing the body, mind and intellect. While we do not have the capacity to say these stotras all day to cure illness, it will help us to chant them once or twice or altleast to listen to them in order to help heal the body faster. This compilation of shlokas is from the Apad-uddharaka stotram I have shared the first 6 shlokas in an earlier video : Apadamapahartaram: ShreeRama Stotram with complete meaning Explained https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itioJztlnKs&t=3s These 13 shlokas in this compilation are the next few of that Stotram. While by themselves they perform the action of Roga Nivaranam- Curing of Ailments, these verses can be chanted as a continuation of the other 6 shlokas to get relief from any form of distress. You may find the detailed meaning for the chant explained in English here: Roga Nivarana Stotram chant with meanings of VIshnu's names : S 5/ E 15 Roga Nivarana Stotram chant with meanings of all verses : S 5/ E 16 Om Namo Narayanaya !

Story of Navaratri: Shumbha Nishumbhas' fight with Devi is explained in this 7A episode of Argala stotram.

The story of Navaratri, the nine days of war between asuras and the Devi is explained in sequence as seen in Devi Mahatmyam. The Story of all the Asuras mentioned in earlier verses, Dhumralochana, Chanda Munda and Raktabeeja and their destruction by Chandika Devi followed by the main content of this verse, Shumbha and Nishumbha Vad is recounted. Being a long episode, the symbolism behind this apparently simple story will be seen in the next one 7B. About Argala Stotram: Dedicated to the Mother Goddess Durga, Argala Stotram is a powerful Chant. It praises the Devi Who defeats and destroys all the Asuras and Who as the Protector, takes care of All Creation. Asuras are not just external forces, they are also representative of our own internal negative tendencies, which need to be defeated if we are to experience the beauty of our inner god. It is also a stotram which appeals to the Universal Mother to sustain and bestow us with all Her bounty; to grant us good health and form, wealth and success; and to guide us spiritually. It is a powerful stotram which can rid us of all negative influences from the outside worlds as well as rid us of the negative tendencies within us, while enhancing our virtues. It can also make us strong and fearless. This can be chanted by all, as it is a prayer to the Mother Goddess. 0:00 Introduction 0:Verse 7 1:46 Shumbha & Nishumbha 2:01 the Boon 2:29 Parvati Devi 3:47 Chanda sees Parvati Devi 4:24 Sugreeva meets Devi 5:29 Dhumralochana 6:00 Chanda & Munda 7:42 Shumbha’s army 8:27 Matrkas arrive 8:58 Shiva as doot 9:40 Raktabeeja 10:24 Shumbha Nishumbha 11:50 Victory The link to the complete chant is given here: https://youtu.be/tvp31sOnz8g The chant in script with meanings can be found here: https://vedikheritageblog.wordpress.com/argala-stotram-the-chant/ The written text with detailed meanings are given here: https://vedikheritageblog.wordpress.com/argala-stotram-meanings-in-detail/ The podcast link to the complete chant is given here: https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/dncCwJ4BfNb Reference links: The reference for detailed meaning has been taken from the discourse by this swamiji on the Pithrukam Channel : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZEjEHGtvcc ( meaning in Malayalam) Pahadi painting of Kali decimating chanda-munda army - https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/collection/RP-T-1993-318, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=116751872 Bow string Sound Effect by https://pixabay.com/users/samuelfrancisjohnson-1207793/?utm_source=linkhttps://pixabay.com/users/samuelfrancisjohnson-1207793/?utm_source=link https://www.swami-krishnananda.org/disc/disc_208.html https://devimahatmya.com/understanding-the-devi-mahatmyas-esoteric-hidden-meaning-knowing-chanda-and-munda/#:~:text=chanda%20denotes%20'passionate%20pursuit'%20while,denotes%20sensitive%20'introverted%20withdrawal

Guru Purnima- a celebration of Bhagavan Veda Vyasa

Today was celebrated as Guru Purnima by devotees of Hindu, Bhuddist, jain and Sikh faiths. Why do we celebrate this day as Vyasa Jayanti ? Why is Vyasa Maharshi important to us? Watch to learn abt about this great teacher. Why do we celebrate Guru Purnima? It is a public holiday in Bharat, but hardly anything is taught about it in schools. So, most of us just know that it is an extra day of holiday. Why should some ancient Hrshi's birthday be celebrated by us? Atleast Gandhi and Nehru were in our Independance sttruggle and their birthdays have some relevance to us. But, Veda Vyasa Jayanthi means nothing to the hindu of Bharat. This is the reason, this day gained more traction as Buddha Purnima, even though we have very few Buddhists in India. Among some others, the modern version of honouring all teachers as gurus has recently caught up. Like teacher's day, people believe this to be a Bharatiya version of teacher's day. While, honouring teachers is a very integral part of bring a Hindu, is this the original purpose of this day? So, let us see why we celebrate Guru Purnima. Hindus, Buddhist, Jains and Sikhs celebrate this festival, as a day dedicated to honouring their Gurus. Hindu Gurus like Shankaracharya, Madhavacharya, Sai Baba, Sri Krishna (because of Bhagavat Gita teaching) are also venerated on this day. Yet, among Hindus this is only known and followed by some persons following certain religious institutions like the Ashrams or Matts for the various Gurus. To the lay person, a Guru is either a teacher or a fake Sanyasi fooling people. Guru Purnima has still not been understood. Let us clearly look at this day.

Ram or Rama ? Basic sanskrit consonant pronunciation.

This is the 2nd episode on Sanskrit alphabets. The basic consonant form is explained here using the often debated pronunciation of names between the North and South Indian population. While each language has it’s own manner od pronunciations, Samskrta must be pronounced as it was meant to be. Especially when we chant stotras and mantras, we cannot compromise on pronunciations because Sanskrit sounds are used to produce certain vibrations which impact both our bodies and our environment. The efficacy of mantras depend on the correct pronunciation of Sanskrit.
