Song in praise of the son born during a hunting trip

[Guest guest]

This sacred and colourful ritual performed mostly in order to get

peace of mind.

 

As the story goes….. Arjuna had become too proud of his

abilities,

Siva and Parvathy go in disguise as tribal hunters to where he was

doing penance (Thapas). A boy is born to the couple during the

hunting trip. The boy becomes extreamely naughty and disturbs the

peace of the people including saints. Based on their request,

Mahavishnu also disguises as a hunter and humbles the boy, gives him

a dagger (Churika) and, when eventually pleased, and blesses him.

Symbolically, the various elements in the story can be related

through "Yoga Saasthram", and "Kundalinee" to the state and workings

of the mind.
