Namaskaram Sir,

Please let me know what is the correct pronunciation of Sanskrit, is it SAMASKIRUTHAM OR SAMSKRUTHAM?

As far as I know it is Samskrutham. But in Tamil nadu, Sanskrit is pronounced as SAMASKIRUTHAM. Every language is unique in its own right. Sama means, equal. Sanskrit is not equal to any other creation. Krutham means creation. . Please, you have a wealth of knowledge about Hinduism. What is your opinion?

Thank you with regards

தமிழில் சரியான வடிவம் — ஸம்ஸ்க்ருதம்

கிரந்த ‘ஸ’ பயன்படுத்த விரும்பாதோர் – சம்ஸ்கிருதம் அல்லது சமச்கிருதம் என்று எழுதுவார்கள்.

ஜெயலலிதா , ஸ்டாலின் என்று எழுதுவோர் உண்மையில் ‘ஸம்ஸ்க்ருதம்‘ என்று எழுதுவதே சரி.

ஆங்கிலத்தில் வெள்ளைக்காரர்கள் தவறாக SANSKRIT என்று எழுதியது நிலைத்துவிட்டது.

ஆனால் ஸம்ஸ்ருத துறைகள் உள்ள பல்கலைக்கழகங்கள் SAMSKRIT என்றே எழுதுகின்றன. இதுவே சரி

SAMSKRITA BHARATI IS AN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION . THEY WRITE SAMSKRITA

MEANING OF SAMSKRUTHAM = WELL CONSTRUCTED; PERFECTLY STRUCTURED

Hare Krishna!

I read your blog… https://www.speakingtree.in/blog/krishna-s-names-in-the-bhagavad-gita

Is it possible to give a reference to where each of these names are used?

Also… this reference talks about 40 names. Is that a precise count… or an estimated number?

Thanks!

CURSE VERSE IN THE RIG VEDA

P. C.

To:Santhanam Swaminathan

Sat, Sep 11 at 8:47 AM

Dear Swami, please accept my respects.

I just recently I checked your blog again and read your articles on the Rig Veda and the curses. I find this highly interesting, there are ample examples of the use of symbology in the western world since the Babylonian/Egyptian times right up til today, that can can be directly traced back to Veda. Many of those symbols can be connected to the symbology of the different animals mentioned in your recent articles.

Another one is what they call obelisks, those are nothing more than Shiva lingams standing in the Yoni (the Vescia Pices). This is very obvious looking at the Washington monument from above, or the Vatican, or the City of London etc. etc. Five obelisks were rised is Stockholm after the killing of Olof Palme, just at the place he was killed and along the path the murderer allegedly followed him after his visit to a movie theatre.

I’m my mind there is no doubt that the world has come to be directly ruled by rakshasas after the beginning of Kali-yuga. After briefly looking into the Surya Siddhanta (haven’t had the opportunity yet to look at it in detail) my main takeaway was that outside the rim of Antarctica there is a realm populated by demons. (yes, Jambhudvipa and Bhu-mandala is located on a plane and we have an ice wall surrounding what we call earth. Check the UN flag). There are also the subterranean realms according to the Bhagavata, might be there is a connection there as well. An interface where they can access our realm if you like. Surya siddhanta was spoken to Maya Danava by the Sun-God.

From what can derived from the Bhagavata in regards to Maya Danava it is clear that the two main characteristics of the modes of nature that he represents (the energy imprint if you so like) are 1. Illusions and 2. Technology (he is not called the Architect for no reason). Architect… relate that to the masons. So it seems that the rakshasas ruling humanity have a strong connection to Maya Danava, he seems to provide the knowledge of magic and technology they use to rule earth. In my mind, the explosive technological development we have seen the recent millennia has not been developed here but transferred from outside into human society. A trade in other words. E.g. the pyramids seems to me to be technological constructions for either control/enslavement or communication purposes, or both. The Aztecs performed blood rituals and sacrifices on pyramids, they had astute astronomical knowledge and a lot of gold.

Now coming to think of it, the pyramids might have been built using technology coming from MD.

The energy represented by the rakshasas and Maya Danava are different, the rakshasas are into blood sacrifices (think wars and terror events, or plain satanic blood rituals by the “elite”), which is more of a perverted Kali-worship thing. At the same time they worship “satan” who to me seems to represent Aja-Ekapada, the one-legged goat, one of the fierce atmospheric Rudras (Shiva in other words). My nakshatra is Puruva Bhadrapada (pada 2) and Aja Ekapada is the ruling deity of that nakshatra so I have a strong connection to Him, but not in the way they have. Vaisnavanam yatha Sambhu. “Lord Shiva is the greatest vaisnava” We also have the examples in the Bhagavata where Maya Danava is at odds with Lord Shiva who’s one name is Tripurari, after taking down the three aerial cities created by MD.

The conclusion would be that humans live in a society completely controlled by rakshasas since not long after the start of Kali-yuga. The sad thing is that even pious persons and devotees are unable to fathom the extent of the control the rakshasas have at present, even trusting them. And thus become easy victims of the massive euthanasia campaign going on at present in the world.

Non the less, Bhagavata 12.03.51: kaler doṣa-nidhe rājann asti hy eko mahān guṇaḥ kīrtanād eva kṛṣṇasya mukta-saṅgaḥ paraṁ vrajet

Hope this meets you in good health.

Mvh / Best regards,

P.C.

CURSES 5000 YEARS AGO! STRANGE CURSES IN RIG VEDA- part 1 (Post No.10071)

There is a strange hymn in the Rigveda with full of curses. Most of the Hindu inscriptions end with curses. They curse the one who violates the instructions in the inscription or one who damages them. Persian inscriptions also end with similar curses. But the origin of curses lies in the Rigveda the oldest book in the world.

Hindus believe that Veda Vyasa who lived around 3150 BCE divided the Vedas into Four Vedas. So according to Hindus it is at least 5200 years old. The translators of the Vedas in the West never believed in what Hindus believed. They did not practise what Hindus practised. They were only anti Hindu and anti -Indian gang members. Since they translated the Vedas into English , French and German, people thought they were “scholars”. They were hired just to destroy Hinduism. Their appointment letters and the post they held spell it crystal clear.

The curses poem did not interest them much. We can derive much information from it. It is in the name of seer Maitravaruni Vasistha. We knew one famous Vasistha in Ramayana and he was challenged by Visvamitra on many occasions. Parasurama’s father Jamadaghni also figured in the Vedas. Actually the last phase of the Vedas is Rama period. Afterwards we don’t have any verses in the Rigveda. So what Hindus say about chronology is also confirmed by the Rigveda. Hindus say that Rama lived in Treta Yuga and Krishna lived in the later Dwapara Yuga. After Vyasa and Krishna died Kali yuga began. This shows that the following curses are from the Treta Yuga, at least five thousand years old.

(Yugas are calculated in two ways shorter period Yugas and longer period yugas. This will be discussed in another article)

Curses of Vasistha (RV 7-104)

1.Indra and Soma, burn and destroy the demon foe. Annihilate the fools, slay them and burn them up. Send downward who adds gloom to gloom. Chase them away. Pierce the voracious ones.

2.Let sin around the wicked boil like as a cauldron set amid the flames of fire. Against the foe of prayer, devourer of raw flesh, the vile fiend fierce of eye, keep your perpetual hate against cruel eyed .

My comments

This is a curse against anti god, anti -prayer gangs. The very interesting point is to throw them into cauldron in the middle of fire. Later day pictures of hell show this. Even 1400 years ago, Saivite saint Appar was thrown into a burning Lime kiln but he was saved by Lord Siva.

Another interesting point is that anti Hindu gangs were cannibals. Like Chinese eat scorpions, lizards, rats and snakes today, like the East Europeans eat horses today, there was a gang of cannibals in Vedic period. Even the Rakshasas of Sri Lanka ate human flesh. Story of Agastya show that Vatapi and Ilvalan ate human flesh. And the same story show that the forest was full of human skeletons of seers.

So the curses were thrown against the barbaric tribes.

Cruel eyed : commentators say spy or gossip mongers.

xxx

RV.7-104-3

Indra and Soma , plunge the wicked in the depth, yes, cast them into darkness that has no support. So that none of them may ever return.

7-104-4

Hurl your deadly crushing bolt down on the wicked fiend from heaven and earth. Burn them to death

7-104-5

Let them sink without a sound.

7-104-6

Indra and Soma, I offer these prayers with wisdom. Accept my prayers; let both of you be united like two horses in the chariot.

Mantra 7

Slay the treacherous fiends; let the wicked have no bliss who evermore assails us with malignity.

Mantra 8

I pursue my way with guileless spirit; whoever accuses me with words of falsehood, may the speaker of untruth be crushed like water in the hand.

Mantra 9

Those who harm the righteous must be given to snakes or to Nirruti (Hindu goddess personifying death, decay and destruction)

Mantra 10

May he a thief or a robber, sink to destruction; both himself and offspring.

Mantra 11

May he be swept away himself and children; may all the three earths press him down beneath them.

Mantra 12

A wise man can easily distinguish the true and false.

Soma protects the true and honest

My comments

This is a good quotation. A prudent man can easily find out who is honest. Several Hindu stories in the Vikram and Vetal and Katha sarit sagara stand examples for this.

But Sayana, commentator, gives the story of Kalmashapada here. I give the story from Who is Who in the Mahabharata by Subash Mazumdar

“ Kalmashpada was a king of Ikshwaku dynasty. He once encountered Shakti, son of sage Vasistha, on a narrow forest path. The question of relative priority as to who should pass first and who should give way, led to heated argument until the king losing his temper started mercilessly whipping \shakti in a demonic raage. Thereupon Shakti collecting his spiritual strength, cursed the king would become a Rakshasa hungering for human flesh wandering the forest for 12 years.

At this juncture Visvamitra who had earlier been bested by Vaishtha and therefore wanted to please Shakti, arranged for a Rakshasa called Kinkara to enter the body of Kalmashapada. Later this curse upon the king was redoubled in force by the pronouncement of a brahmana who was erroneously served human by orders of the king.(It is in Adi Parva of Mahabharata).

The king in his rakshasa form initiated his consumption of human flesh by killing and devouring Shakti himself. Later he also killed Vaishtha’ss other sons.

Once Kalmasha pada , while in Rakshasa form, saw a brahmin couple enjoying conjugal pressure. He killed and ate the Brahmana. Thereupon the brahmana cursed that the king would also die if he ever attempted to enjoy conjugal bliss with his queen.

Years later when he wanted to kill and eat Adashyanti, widow of Shakti, Vasishta sprinkled holy water on him and the curse having ended the king expressed his lifelong indebtedness to Vasishta .

The king wanted a son through his wife Madayanti . but because of Brahmana’s curse, he asked Vasishta to produce a son in his queen. Thus was born prinv Even

e Ashmaka. ( This story is in Mahabharata)

Now we have another confirmation of flesh eating tribes in the olden days.

There are 25 mantras . I have covered only 12 out of 25.

Three curses on Ravana! (Post No.4869)

Ravana, the king of Lanka and the villain in the Ramayana did lot of penance ruled as an unconquerable man. But his inherent weakness was that he thought men can never kill him. He was suffering from superiority complex and so he ignored human beings from the list of potential threats. He always ridiculed men He thought he was a big mountain and the human beings are mosquitoes.

Apart from this wrong notion he had three big curses on him:

Curse 1

At one time Ravana waged a war against Anaranya. He did lot of atrocities against him and received a curse from him. From my race of Ikshwaku kings, a man will be born named Rama and he will kill you in battle. Ravana remembers the curse as he does many other curses he reived in his life (Vi-60-8/10)

Curse 2

I once ravished a woman, Vedavati, and she said, “some how I am going to be your end. I think she has been born as Sita and I have brought this danger into my palace and all this trouble upon me in consequence.@ Then he recalls some of the other curses he had received. VI-60-10-11

Curse 3

Uma nad Nandi cursed him as well. Once he went to Kailasa and tried to lift the sacred Hill and displeased Mahadeva himself. At that time he was stopped by Nandi when he went in. Ravana turned round, and looking at his oddface he laughed loudly. Nandi was very angry, but not liking to do battle in the palace of Shiva, that too without his permission. So Nandhi cursed Ravana.

“As you have set up this laughter as loud as thunder, there will born in the world, a race of monkeys having my look and also having my strength, in order to kill you and your whole family. As big as hills they will be, and they will fight with nails and teeth.”

Ramayana cures Curses! Rajatarangini Episode! (Post No.3754)

Kalhana, author-poet-historian of Kashmir, in his book gives an interesting anecdote about Ramayana in his book Rajatarangini.

From First Taranga of Rajatarangini:–

“Then Damodara (Damodara II) who was either descended from the House of Asoka or was born in some other dynasty, protected the land as the king.

“Highly resplendent with material resources was the king who was the crest jewel of Siva worshippers, and one hears of his spiritual power even to this day as a marvel of the world.

“Like Kubera this foremost among kings held under his own sway the Guhyakas; by ordering them he built the extensive dam at Gudda.

“When a lofty minded man is about to do some remarkably beneficent act, alas! impediments arise owing to the meagreness of the past merits of men.

“For he had tried with the help of Yakshas to build in his kingdom extensive dykes of stone to mitigate the havorc of inundations.

Spiritual Power of the Brahmins

“The spiritual power of the austerities of Brahmans of radiant enlightenment is unfathomable, since it could reverse the fortune of even such as he was.

“The prosperity of kings when destroyed by the forces of kinsmen and other rivals one has seen restored once more; it has no chance of being re-established if lost through disregard of the Brahmans.

“When he had risen to bathe to perform the Sraaddha Ceremony (oblations to the departed souls), the king was requested by some hungry Brahmins, on one occasion, before he had taken his bath, to give them food.

“Desirous of proceeding to Vitasta (river) when he ignored this, they, by their spiritual power, then placed that river in front of him—‘Behold! here is Vitasta; now feed us. Even though addressed in this wise, he perceived that the production of the river was a delusion.

“I shall not offer food without bathing, O Brahmins!move on now for the time being; when they had been thus addressed by him, they cursed him as follows: May you become a snake.”

“Your sin will be atoned by listening in one single day to the whole of the Ramayana – thus they declared after they had been placated.

“In Damodara Suda, wandering fa through thirst, by the vapour of his breath, which is hot in consequence of the curse, he is recognised by the people even today.

“Then there ruled in this very land the founders of cities called after their appellations, the three kings named Huska,Juska and Kanishka”.

—-Chapter 1/ First Taranga of Rajatarangini

Ramayana was popular even before 2000 years from the Southernmost tip Kanyakumari to Kashmir. Even 2000 yeal old Tamil Sangam Literature (Purananuru) has verses containing Rama’s stories!

We have 3000 different versions of Ramayana, spreading over a vast geographical area up to Indonesia, Thailand and China.

We have continuous production of Ramayana for over 2000 years. No other epic was treated that way.

Added together all the Ramayanas will run into millions of lines.

Ramayana was composed in more languages than any other language.

Ramayana is called Adi Kavya (the first classic in the world); Soka (sadness) turned into Sloka (Sanskrit couplets);

When Valmiki saw, a hunter shooting down one of the two love birds, he felt sad (Soka) and burst into poetry (sloka).

Ramayana has over 3400 similes. Grand message in simple Sanskrit!

Ramayana was the epic done by all the oriental religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism.

Donkeys in Tamil and Sanskrit Literature

Picture: No sympathy for the collapsed donkey, laughing at it in Afghanistan.

Donkeys in Tamil and Sanskrit Literature

Donkey is the animal that got most negative publicity in classical Indian literature. Some animals like cow and elephant are elevated to the position of sacred animal. Lion is the unquestionable king of the forest. Bull, Tiger and Lion are used in addressing Vedic and Epical characters. Rama is called the Tiger among men in Venkateswara Subrabatham. Kings called themselves lions (sing or Kesari which became Caesar in Europe). But poor vegetarian donkey is considered a dirty animal. George Orwell is right when he said ‘’All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others’’ in his novel Animal Farm.

The strange thing about donkeys is that they were vehicles of Vedic gods Indra and Agni in Atharva Veda. But later became the vehicle of Jyeshta (Muthevi) and Shitala Devi (Goddesses of poverty and disease). They were relegated to back stage. Greek gods Dionysus and Hephaestus used donkey as their vehicles. Jesus rode into Jerusalem victoriously on a donkey according to Gospel of Mathew.

Picture of overloaded donkey cart in Gaza Strip, Plaestine.

Donkey plough of Tamil and Orissa Kings

2000 year old Sangam Tamil literature and Kharavela’s Hathikumbha inscription have some strange coincidence. When the kings conquer some new countries, they destroy the towns and plough the land with donkeys. This strange custom existed throughout India. Sangam Tamil books Purananuru (verse 15, 392), Pathitru pathu (25) say that the Pandya king Muthukudumi Peuvazuthi , a local chieftain Pokuttezini and Cheran Selkezu Kuttuvan defeated their enemies and ploughed their lands with donkey ploughs. Avvaiayar, Palai Gauthamanar and Nettimaiyar sang in praise of those kings. According to Kalinga (Orissa) King Kharavela’s inscription, he did the same in Pataliputra and Rajagiri. He broke the 100 year old Tamil Federation and did use a donkey plough in a Tamil port. Pandya king sent him gems, elephants and horses as tribute.

Kharavela (2^nd century BC) was one of the just kings of India who commanded respect from every one. He was a Jain and ruled a large part of India. Through his inscriptions we know a lot about ancient India.

Picture of Shitala Devi

Donkey procession for Criminals

Now and then we read news items in Indian news papers about criminals taken in procession around the town on donkeys with red and black spots painted on their faces. This is also an ancient punishment followed by Indians for thousands of years. We read about it in Sanskrit literature. Nowadays it is followed in North Indian villages.

Even the Tamil proverbs are against donkeys. Parents use the names of donkeys and dogs to scold their children. From ancient times these animals are used to carry heavy luggage such as salt and pepper and Sangam books Akananuru (verse 89) and Perumpanatrupadai ( line 80) confirm this. But in other parts of the world even Jesus used it because it was considered a humble animal compared to arrogant horse.

Donkey Curses

Another interesting area is the curses in the epigraphs and inscriptions. Those who violate the instructions or damage the gifted articles are cursed to go to hell that is meant for copulating with donkeys. Unnatural sexy sculptures and diagrams accompany such inscriptions.

Donkey demons are painted in Mycenaean culture. The frescoes of demons with donkey heads belong to 1500 BC.

Picture of Jesus riding a donkey into Jerusalem.

Donkeys in Vedic period

I have already written about it in one of my posts on Vahanas (Mounts of Gods). I am reproducing it here:

Hephaistos is an Olympian God in Greece. He rides a donkey. Donkey is Vahana for Hindu Gods and Goddesses as well:

Donkey Vahana for Indra: A.V. 9-6-4

Donkey vahana for Agni: Aitareya Brahmana 4-9-1

Donkey Vahana for other Gods: AV 8-8-22

Jyeshta or Muthevi or Seetala Devi have donkey has her Vahana.

In western countries, people have started charities for abandoned donkeys. They look after them well.
