Guest guest Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 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" Krishnarao -- Krishnarao Lanka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
