Part -2

 

 

many pranams to all

 

further to my submission last time regarding 3 LS namAs as part 1, i

am submitting to you now the following

 

 

LS 77 kAmEswara mukhAlOka kalpita shrI gaNEswarA

 

by seeing the face of kAmEswarA, she created gaNEswara.

 

(the prAsA (rhyme) kAmEswarA and gaNEswara and the words mukha AlOka

& kalpita are the delight for sanskrit scholars)

 

when bhanDhAsura was on the loosing phase, he asked vishukrA to

install vigna yantrA into shakti army. vishukrA installed the

vigna yantrA in the middle of the shakti army. because of this

yantrA, the shakti army got 8 guNAs (laziness, inferiority complex,

feeling tired, sleep, lack of alertness, illusion, negligence

(carelessness) , lack of initiation (we can note that our good guNAs

which are called as shakti army also can get affected by these and

we will lose fighting the devilish forces in our Atmic war). Army

protested and rejected the commands of the chief (dhandanAtA and

mantriNI).

 

when mantriNI reported this to mAtA, she with pure love looked at

the face of kAmEswarA. gaNapati/ gaNEswara was created (kalpita –

the word used in LS). he came in a glittering form , red (sindUrA

in colour) with elephant head, with 10 hands carrying (pommagranate,

gatAyudhA, sugarcane bow, sULA, disc, conch, pAcA, water lily,

paddy, his own tusk and in his trunk carrying ratna kalasA, with

vallbhA dEvi or sidha lakshmi. he destroyed the yantrA and the army

got back their forms and continued the war.

 

Comparison : tiruvalivalam kshEtra tEvArAm says the creation of

mahagaNapathy as "pidiyadan uru umai koLa mihu kariyatu vadikodu

tanathadi vazhipadum avar idar kadi gaNapaty vara aruLinan" (umA

took the form of female elephant and paramEswara took the form of

big male elephant, he blessed us with gaNapathy who destroys the

hurdles (problems) of those who worship his feet)

 

it will be appropriate to see here the next LS nAmA also

 

LS 78 mahA gaNEsa nirbhinna vighna yantra praharshitA

 

Got happy when the vigna yantrA was destroyed by mahA gaNEsa

 

She was happy because 1) vigna yantrA was destroyed 2) shakti army

got its own nature (we will become our own real self if our tamasic

guNAs are destroyed) 3) the reason for creation of gaNapaty was

fulfilled 4) more over as a mother, her son completed a great task

and helping her children 5) over and above he is going to help

others in future whenever they face hurdles/ problems in their Atmic

lives.

 

In mantrOpadEsa, mahagaNapathy mantra is the first one to be taught

(ofcourse after the gAyatri).

 

whenever the guNAs like laziness, etc are creating hurdles in the

path of our gnAnA (or intellect), to over come these guNAs, yOga

helps us. the power of yOgA is mahAgaNapaty. he is the power of

intellect (or gnAnA) to destroy all the vignAs (agnAnA). he gives us

the power of yOgA/ power of intellect/ gnAnA. he is gnAnaswarUpi.

 

 

from these three LS nAmAs (77, 442, 606), it is not only told that

the mAtA is the mother of gaNEsa and kumArA, but also told about

some other things that is what i feel. because, 1) the selection of

letters (aksharAs) for her two sons (ka and ga) when thousands of

nAmAs are there for them individually (please note trishati says

this as lambOdara prasuvE), 2) the meaning of those namAs 3) the

following nAmAs of these three nAmAs 4) the tasks the sons have

completed (as per purANAs) 5) these two sons metnioned twice but

muruga only mentioned with different names 6) the abhEda of the sons

and the parents 7) the connection of manmatA with these two sons and

their forms and names, etc

 

other meanings are also given for these nAmAs

 

guha janmabhU:

 

guh - means sourrounded or encompassed by

 

guha means the jIvAs who are sourrounded/ encompassed by avidhyA.

 

these jIvAs have come from the dEvI as the sparklings from the fire.

 

and hence she is guha janma bhUh

 

 

kumAra gaNa nAtAmbhA

 

1)

 

kumAra - hatefull (kutsita) group (group of mArAs - smara vihAras)

 

nAtA - chief/ leader

 

abhI - one who controls

 

ambhA controls the leaders/cheifs of hatefull group

 

2) it is mentioned in varAha purANA that purushA is siva and

vishnu, avyaktA is uma and lakshmi. due the combination of purushA

and avyaktA, ahankArA is created. that ahankArA is called as guhA

or sEnApathy.

 

ambhA is one who controls those who have ahankArA.

 

(for further clarification if required for these tatvAs plese refer

the bhAshya or upAsakAs)

 

apart from these meanings which we have seen above, some more inner

meanings are also felt for these nAmAs.

 

let us see those in the next part

 

forgive me and correct me for my mistakes

(please note that the basic meanings of LS are mainly taken from the

book LS BhAshyA published by sri abhinava bhaskara trust, teynampet,

chennai. they are NOT at all responsible for my blunders in my

interpretations for those meanings and translation of LS nAmAs)
