Subject : --__The meaning of hara hara mahAdEv

 

>From :-- Krishnarao Lanka

 

Date :-- January 06 2007

 

 

 

MAnya mahAsayAh,

 

 

 

In my openmion 'mahAdEva' means

 

mahas means an aggregate collection of so many consubstantially the same

individual things together

 

in a single unit, like the totality of a number of trees together named as a

forest.

 

 

 

"samaShtirISah sarvEShAm swAtma tAdAtmya vEdanAT |

 

tad aBhAvat tad anyE tu j~nyAyantE vyaShTi samj~nyayA ||"

 

 

 

So the word 'mahAdEva' denotes the governing power which controls

the whole unit of universe

 

containing so many worlds with so many mobile and immobile beings in all of

them

 

which is after all only an extension of the last visible state of the

tiniest spot called "Siva" (bindu)..

 

 

 

In one of the two words 'hara' and 'hara', one indicates this

universe.

 

"ha" the moon and "ra" the fire. "agnI ShOmAtmakam jagat"

 

and the other hara indicates the request for desolution

 

 

 

While repeatedly saying "hara hara mahAdEv" the worshipper is

constantly and persistently praying

 

that supreme power to extinguish the mundane scenery of this universe which

is grasping him with so many

 

sensory attractions and trying to dip him in the magic of "mAyA"

Thanks for bringing to light a wonderful explanation of 'Hara hara

mAnanIya dhananjay mahASay, and all other members,

 

Thank you for your reponse.

 

The moderator, who i dont know, is commenting upon my message

that it appears to be a duplicated one. But he did not show any authority

from any excerpts. I feel very bad of his low

estimation of my reliability, I humbly request all other members to condemn

this kind of disrespect towards other members and warn him severely, so that

he should not dare to insult any member.in future.

Dear Sir:

 

Please note that the moderators are also members of the list and

when they post a message using their personal email ID, they do not

exercise their moderator's authority. Also ProfVK's response to you

was very polite and respectful and he just enquired regarding the

original source. Since your response was very scholarly, he wanted

to get the source. Many members in the past have also asked and

provided the source for any specific part of a message. The summary

of list guidelines (available in the Website) requires members to

provide the source of any quoted passage of messages. If your entire

message is your own creation, you just need to respond to Profvk

that you are the souce for the message.

 

The list guidelines request (and insist) members to show friendly

attitude towards fellow members while posting their messages.

Posting is a privilege and it is not anyone's right. Please restrain

from posting your complaints to the list. Instead please send it to

the moderators at the email address: <advaitins >.

mAnya SrI profvk mahASay,

 

Is it possible to quote the source for each and every quotation

taken from memory or from ones note books sir?

 

Can any one quote any source for a quotation like

"SuklAmbararadharam viShNum"?

 

I think it is not proper for a scholar like you also to demand

such an explanation from another honorable member, especially in such

a grim situation? Is the explanation so essential sir?

Are you particular after the view point in the subject or only

searching for spelling mistakes and grammatical mistakes?

 

Any way it is not justifiable for me to quote the source

like a student with tight-folded hands or like a criminal before

a judge sir! It is upto you to accept any of my articles or not

in future, because this is all appearing like the monopoly of a

few moderators. Pl. excuse me for such an expression because

I am unable to take it sportively with the comment of the anonymous

moderator who most irrespectively commented my article as a duplicated

one and you supporting him, asking for the explanation sir.

 

I here below copy-paste the moderator`s comment for your perusal

and necessary action as your own conscience suggests.

Dear Sir:

 

The message, "Appears to be a duplicated message" was sent by the

moderator to inform you that you have sent "TWO IDENTICAL" messages

to the list. The second copy of your message was rejected with the

statement quoted by you.

 

The error of sending 'duplicate' email message is quite common and

it happens to everyone sometime or other.

 

It is unfortunate that in spite of our earlier clarifications, you

resort to baseless accusation against the moderators without

checking all facts.

 

We hope that this clarifies the list position regarding your message.

===================================================================

 

mAnanIya VK mahASay,

 

Now I could understand the realities sir.

I dont hesitate any more to express my deep regrets for my mistake in

understanding meaning of the word "duplicated" which sounded

to me that I have copied this message from some previous messages.

or other books. setting aside the ambiguous meaning of the word,

I am sorry, if I have in any way injured the feelings of any one

in this context.

 

Pl. instruct the moderator to be cautious in writing ambiguous

words.

 

Sir, Pl. see the word "samaShti" in V.S.Apte`s sans. eng.

dictionery. Your doubt will be clarified. But still I doubt,

is it essential to show all the sources?

 

I had to send the message the second time because the first

message has returned back to me saying that it could not be delivered.

 

 

namastE

krishnarao.

Dear Krishnarao-ji,

 

Because you were already a member but had not previously posted to the

group, your first message(s)were moderated, despite the fact that the

group is now unmoderated. When I looked at the 'pending messages' for

the group, there were two identical messages from yourself. I approved

the first one and sent you a direct and, I thought, perfectly polite

message to let you know that the second message was rejected because

it was identical to the first one. Please explain how this might be

construed as 'disrespectful'?

 

As a general rule, would all members please direct complaints of this

nature directly to the moderators rather than posting to the group so

that misunderstandings may be resolved without inciting unnecessary

resentment.

 

Best wishes,

Dennis
