DEAR SRIVAISHNAVAS,

KURESA VIJAYAM 6 - “SARABHA SIMHAMâ€

 

NOW WE DISCUSS ABOUT SARABHA NRUSIMHA EVENT UNDER THE TOPIC KOORESA VIJAYAM.

 

SAIVA PANDIT’S CLAIM:

 

NRUSIMHA WITH GREAT ANGER,KILLED THE ASURA KING HIRANYAKASIPU FOR HIS APACHARAMS [CRUALITY COMMITED TO PRAHLATHAN]. LORD SHIVA DEFEATED NARASIMHA BY TAKING THE FORM OF SARABHA. HENCE, SHIVA IS PARAVASTHU WAS THE CLAIM MADE BY SAIVA PANDITS.

 

KOORATHAZHWAR’S ARGUEMENT:

 

HIRANYAKASIPU PEFORMED SEVERE TAPAS TOWARDS LORD BRAHMA. BRAHMA WAS PLEASED AND APPEARED BEFORE HIM. HIRANYAKASIPU SEEKED A BOON THAT, HE SHOULD NOT GET KILLED BY DEVAS, ASURAS, MEN AND RISHIS.

HE SHOULD NOT ALSO BE KILLED WITH ANY WEAPONS ,IN DAY OR NIGHT, INSIDE OR OUTSIDE AND ETC..

 

BRAHMA GRANTED ALL THESE BOONS TO HIRANYAKASIPU.

 

WITH THESE IMMENSE POWERS, HIRANYAKASIPU STARTED HARASSING

PEOPLES IN EARTH, HEAVEN AND PATHALA WORLD. HE CONQUERED ALL THE THREE WORLDS.

 

DEVAS, RISHIS AND TAPASVEES WHO COULD NOT BEAR THIS HARASSMENT OF ASURA KING, MADE TAPAS TOWARDS VISHNU WHO IS PRAISED BY ALL VEDAS. LORD VISHNU WHO IS FULL OF COMPASSIONATE, WAS PLEASED WITH THIER PRAYERS, AND PROMISED TO HELP THE DEVAS.

 

LORD VISHNU CREATED PRAHLATHA AS THE SON OF HIRANYAKASIPU.

THE ASURA KING WAS VERY HAPPY AND TOOK GREAT CARE OF HIS SON.

WHEN PRAHLADA ATTAINED THE RIGHT AGE, HIRANYAKASIPU CALLED THE ASURA’S GURU AND INSTRUCTED HIM TO TEACH THE HIRANYA MANTHRA â€HIRANYA AUMâ€. BUT THE SATVIKA CHILD PRAHLATHA REFUSED TO SAY SO AND CHANTED ONLY NARAYANA MANTHRA “HARIH AUMâ€.

 

HIRANYAKASIPU COULD NOT TOLERATE HIS SON’S ACT AND WITH GREAT ANGER ORDERED HIS SERVANT TO TIE THE BOY WITH A STONE AND THROW IN TO THE SEA. WITH THE GRACE OF LORD VISHNU, THE STONE SAILED HIM TO THE SHORE LIKE A BOAT.

 

THEN HIRANYA ORDERED TO THROW PRAHLADA FROM MOUNTAIN TOP AND AGAIN WITH VISHNU’S BLESSINGS (ANUGRAHA), HE LANDED SAFELY WITHOUT ANY WOUND.THEN HIRANYAKASIPU ORDERED TO PUT HIM ON FIRE, BUT THE FIRE WITHOUT HURTING HIM GAVE A COOL FEELING OF SANDAL. HIRANYA THEN GAVE POISON TO PRAHLADHA AND THE POISON BECAME A NECTOR (AMRUTHA) FOR PRAHLADHA. ALL THESE DEEDS WERE DUE TO LORD VISHNU’S KRUPA.

 

HIRANYAKASIPU WAS BAFFELED AND ASKED PRAHLADHA ABOUT THE MAGICIAN WHO IS HELPING HIM EVERYTIME. PRAHLADHA EXPLAINED TO HIS FATHER

“THE ONE WHO IS RESIDING IN ALL ENTITY AND WHO SUSTAINS EVERYONE IS MY LORD AND HE IS SRIMAN NARAYANAâ€.

 

HIRANYA THEN POINTED OVER THE PILLAR NEAR BY AND ENQUIRED IF NARAYANAN IS INSIDE THIS PILAR. PRAHLADHA SPONTANEOUSLY REPLIED THAT VISHNU IS EVERYWHERE INCLUDING THIS PILLAR. IMMEDIATELY HIRANYAKASIPU HIT THE PILLAR FURIOUSLY WITH HIS MACE.

 

LORD VISHNU TOOK THE FORM OF NRUSIMHA (MAN & LION),

WEARING BRAHMA’S SKIN AND HIS DRESS,

TWELVE SUNS[DWATHASA ATHITHYAS] AS GARLAND,

EIGHT DIRECTIONS (ASHTADHIKBALAS) AS WAIST ROPE, AND

SIVA’S HEAD AS ANKLET. WITH HORRIFING LOOK, HE CAME OUT FROM THE PILLAR, FRIGHTENING EVERY ONE AROUND THE WORLD.

 

HE TORE THE BLACKISH CHEST OF HIRANYAKASIPU WITH HIS FINGER NAILS. LORD VISHNU WAS VERY ANGRY WITH HIRANYAKASIPU, BECAUSE HE COULD NOT BEAR THE INJUSTICE DONE TO HIS BHAKTHA (PRAHLADHA).

 

DEVAS WHO WERE PRESENT AT THAT JUNCTURE, DISCUSSED AMONG THEMSELVES

ON HOW TO COOL THE ANGER OF VISHNU. THEY WENT TO KAILASA AND SOUGHT THE HELP OF THREENETHRADHARI SHIVA.THE POOR SHIVA, NOT REALISING THAT LORD NRUSIMHA AS PARABRAHMAM,TOOK THE FORM OF SARABHA AND FOUGHT WITH NRUSIMHA.

NRUSIMHA, WHO TORE THE CHEST OF HIRANYAKASIPU, FOUGHT WITH SARABHA, NULLIFIED HIS POWER AND ASHAMED SARABHA.

 

DEVAS THEN WENT TO BRAHMA AND SOUGHT HIS HELP. BRAHMA IN TURN, TOGETHER WITH DEVAS OFFERED HIS PRAYERS TO MAHALAKSHMI, WHO APPEARED IMMEDIATELY TO SHOWER HER MERCY TO ALL. LATER, BY ADVISING PRAHLADHA TO PRAY TO LORD NRUSIMHA, SHE CALMED HIS ANGER. THE DEVAS TOO PRAISED LORD VISHNU CHANTING HIS HARI NAMA AND EXCLAIMED VISHNU ALONE IS PARABRAHMAM.

 

AT THAT JUNCTURE, PARVATHY CAME TO LORD VISHNU AND OFFERED PRAYER TO HIM TO GET BACK HER HUSBAND. LOED VISHNU, OBLIGED TO PARVATHY’S REQUEST AND GOT SANKARA BACK.

 

THIS IS STATED IN THAITHREEYA UPANISHATH-THRUTHEEYA PRASHNA,

PADMA PURANA, GARUDA PURANA, UPANARASIMHA, UNCOMPARABLE VAMANA PURANA, AGNI PURANA. HENCE THIS SHOULD BE VIEWED UNBIASELY.

 

THIS IS STATED IN VEDAS & SEVEN PURANAS WHICH CLEARLY EXPLAINS THAT THE NITHYANANDHA ROOPA LORD VISHNU, ALONE IS BRAHMAM AND NOT THE BLACK NECKED SHIVA.

SWAMI KOORATHAZHWAN QUOTED ALL THE ABOVE PRAMANA AND DISCORDED THE CLAIM MADE BY SAIVA PANDITS.

 

 

TO BE CONTINUED………

 

 

ALL THE MISTAKES FIND IN THIS POSTING IS DUE TO ADIYEN’S LACK OF KNOWLEDGE AND ADIYEN REQUEST YOUR PARDON FOR THE SAME.

 

SWAMI KOORATHAZHWAN THIRUVADIGALE SARANAM

SWAMI RAMANUJAR THIRUVADIGALE SARANAM.
