VARUNA JAPAM SEEKING COPIOUS RAIN

Expressing concern over 35% deficit rainfall in Telangana so far, the authorities of Chilkur Balaji temple
organised Varuna Japam here on Thursday. A special ritual invoking Varuna to bless the State with
copious rain was performed in Osmansagar lake near Chilkur Balaji temple by ritwiks, standing in
waist-deep water. The chant lasted for over two hours.
Vedic pandits from Veda Bhavan led by Srirama Ghanapati also participated in the ritual along with
14 other scholars. Chilkur Balaji temple chief hereditary priest Soundararajan participated in the Japam
by sitting on the banks of the lake. (The Hindu 14-7-2017)

Trees Manifestation of Almighty Protect them
In Yajurveda, Vaishvadeva Kaanda, one of the sookthams appear to be a question and Answer format.

A great devotee seeks to know who has manifested to the forest and trees in the forest and
who holds the entire universe in position and controls it.
The answer given by the Veda is as follows
w P Eyo @ oz w u sy uboP : @
yumz u yu: @ uoe u @
Which means it is the Almighty Parabrahmam which has manifested into trees, forest and is
holding the entire universe in position and controlling it. Indeed trees are manifestations of the Lord.
As said in the Taittiriya Upanishad wq F oz utu uoenzNoz{t m zm @ the Lord manifests
like a tree staying constant in the universe and making every item complete.It is for the same reason
Lord Krishna in Srimadhbhagavatha has said to Uddhava to install his idols in temples at various places
and create beautiful mangroves and flower garden around them.

Following this ordinance, we in Chilkur Balaji temple have been planning and maintaining a
good green garden around the temple and also have been instigating the forest department to plant
trees around the lake which they have been doing with devotion.
Trees need to be worshipped and protected as they are the only source of Oxygen replenishment
to our atmosphere. It is reported that 50% of world forests decimated. As a result The Carbon-di-
oxide (CO2)concentration is growing and is around 390 molecules per every million air molecules (ppm)
in the world with a steady increase of 2ppm every year. This would mean that within a short period
the threshold for serious climate change of 450-470ppm would soon be reached. It is said that Increased
CO2 concentration and lowered Oxygen concentration can have catastrophic effects on Mankind including
loss of rational thinking. With Indias population growing three fold after independence there has been
significant deforestation for agrarian and inhabitation reasons causing trees to dwindle . Several cities
have warmed and so as Hyderabad and Telengana state. Under these circumstances we commend
the Telengana Chief Minister, Shri K.Chandrasekhara Rao (KCR)for his mammoth and visionaryintiative
to afforest Telengana by the Haritha Haram programme to plant millions of trees. Shri KCR launched
the programme with devotion by planting a Champak tree sapling at Chilkur Balaji Temple after having
the darshan of the Almighty who is the manifestation of trees. Trees give Oxygen which is the most
essential item of life. Even though they are cut they provide Shade to seekers and take the brunt of
the sun. Trees provide food and energy to mankind which makes them a great example of selfless
service which the mankind should learn from.

Anecdotes on Vishnu Sahasranama - 197
PERSEPIENCE AS PHYSIQUE
Bhagavan Ramanuja, the great preceptor,
philosopher, scholar and social reformer, used to
go to seven houses everyday to beg for his food.
This practice has been ordained by the scriptures
for all ascetics and Ramanuja, being a strict follower
of all the scriptural injunctions, absolutely adhered
to it.
He would then walk to the river Cauvery with
the food he had collected by begging. He would
wash the bowl with food in the running water so
that all the nutrients would be dispensed with the
water. He would then consume the remaining husk
alone.
One day, Ramanuja was walking in the streets
of Srirangam for collecting alms. At that time, a
few small children were playing in the street
conducting a mock-festival, similar to that being
celebrated in the temple of Lord Ranganatha.
The children had kept a stone as the image
of the Lord Ranganatha .Thy called Him affectionately
Nam Perumal (meaning our Lord). They offered
balls of sand as prasadam to Him. To make their
mock-festival look realistic, some of the children
had dressed themselves as priests, some as
adhyapakas, some as musicians and some others
as temple workers.
After offering all the sand balls to the Lord,
the children who were dressed as associate priests,
started distributing the prasadam of sand-ball .One
of them suddenly remembered that the first recipient
was to be Ramanuja He shouted Jeeya! Arulippadu!
as they do in the temple. This meant in the context
Oh Ramanuja! Please come to perform the service
of collecting your share of prasadam.
At this one of the children rushed to dress up himself
as Ramanuja to collect the prasadam.
As Ramanuja who was watching the play
immersed deeply in the scene heard the call Jeeya!
Arulippadu! he joined the game taking it that the
children were calling out him to receive the sacred
food.
The great saint immediately exclaimed,
Adiyen! and went with his bowl towards the children.
He received the ball of sand with utmost respect
into his bowl.

Sri V.S.Karunakaran, Chennai
Children called back the one who had gone
in search of make ups for the role of Ramanuja
saying the Jeeyar had already come and collected
the prasadam and went ahead with their game.
Ramanuja went to carry his routine of collecting
alms. AS he was to receive the alms from the hose
nearby disciples of Ramanuja, who were watching
all these happenings, were taken aback. They rushed
to the saint to caution him that his bowl contained
the sand and he might do well to clean the bowl
before receiving the alms Oh Swamin! Are you going
to eat this ball of sand too along with the food?
Ramanuja told them, Please dont call it sand.
It is the sacred food consumed by the Lord. Apple,
mango, banana, badam grapes, sand whatever it
is, once it is offered the Lord with affection He
consumes it by His graceful sight and it then loses
its individual name and become prasadam!
The disciples further said, Swamin! We accept
that. Anything consumed by the Lord is prasada.
But this is a mere stone kept by these children
without any ritual for sanctification. Can this really
be our Lord? Is it not a mere piece? Is the food
offered to it meant to be revered as prasadam?
Ramanuja said, Dont you know what Lord
Krishna had said in the Gita?

Whoever desirous of resorting to Me, in whatever
manner they think of Me according to their inclinations

other organs of sense in every way wished by them,

This being the proclamation of the Lord, will
He not reside in this sto by the children with utmost
faith and devotion? So, this stone is the Lord Himself.
My dear disciples! You may also go and get the
prasada of the Lord if you wish!

Madhura Vijayam - 70 Sri Ranganatha Travel Part II
Tamil Manuscript : Sree Venugopalan, Chennai
Story so far: The story based on the 14th century
incidents, was written by Sri Venugopalan which is
based on the historic facts elucidated in Madhura
Vijayam composed by Maharani Ganga Devi, Chief
Queen of King Kampanaraya. Two young men Vallabha
and Dutta set out on an expedition to locate the idol
of Lord Ranganatha of Srirangam, which was saved
by four Kodavas from being ransacked by Muslim
invaders. After several adventures the two boys, found
the idol along with one Kodava who protected the
idol for more than eighteen years deep inside the
forest of Chandragiri. Lord Ranganatha was brought
to Tirumala and King Ranganatha Yadavaraya the ruler
of that place patronized the upkeep of the idol with
daily pujas. Coincidentally Sri Gopanna, commander-
in-chief of the Vijayanagaras mulvoy province reaches
Tirumala in search of Lord Ranganatha and he
promises Vallabha to restore Lord Ranganatha to Sri
Rangam with the help of Vijayanagara king. Meanwhile,
as a first step the Vijayanagar army mission was
undertaken to conquer Sambuvaraya of Rajagambhira.
Kanchee puram was conquered and Kampana Rayas
army advanced to Rajagambhira mountain conquered
it and killed the Raja Gambhira king. The Madurai
princess was rescued. Vallabha who was on a
mission to safeguard Pandya princess Makaravizhiyaal
to pandya kingdom fell in love with her but promised
to marry her only after completing his mission.
Meanwhile, Lord Ranganatha has been brought to
Chenghee by Gopanna the commander of Vijayanagar
army belonging to Mulvoy province. Vallabha, Datta
and Vallabhas mother Vasanthika meet Gopanna to
find out about the plans of restoring Lord Ranganatha
to Sri Rangam. It was 10 years since the Rajagambhira
Kingdom became part of Vijayanagar and still no
further advancement action was taken against Madurai
Sultan due to trouble from Bahamani sultans. Gopanna
takes up on him and vows to take up the expedition
now and reaches Kanchi, the capital of King Kampana
Raya. Kampana who was having fever at that time
was feeling guilty that he did not take any action to
restore Lord Ranganatha. In his dream, he felt that
Goddess Parvathi herself comes and blesses him
to continue the mission. Later Vasanthika briefs her
son that she is the one who spoke as Parvathi to
Kampana and she has also left the dagger with
Kampana which was presented by Makaravizhiyal to
Vallabha. Meanwhile Gopanna meets Kampana, and
the King with all others has an extensive meeting
with ministers regarding an attack on Sultan. As per
the discussion they all decided to send Vallabha and
Dutta to study the Mughal army, their strengths and
weaknesses. Vallbha and Dutta set on this expedition
and went through different villages and finally decided
to go to Srirangam. On the way to Srirangam they
q

_ O_ `# H~" x x~iOK"_ x["#

reached Azhagiya Manavalam village. There they met
Thriumanathoon Nambi, the son of Singapiran and
was surprised to know many things including the
secret pooja being done for idol of Ranganatha. On
suggestion of Tirumana thoon Nambi every one plans
to go to Kannanore fort along with him with gifts
including a devadasi girl. After visiting Kannanore
and studying Sultans weeknesses, Dutta came out
with a plan that somehow sultan has be to infected
with sexual disease as he gets easily to beautiful
ladies. Vallabha got convinced with the plan and they
passed on their plan to thirumanathoon nambi.
Thriumanthoon Nambi swiftly got into action after
praying to Rangantha. First thing he had to do is
to search for an infected devadasi. He along with
his people looked around everywhere to find such
a lady. That was difficult. Even if they could find
a girl, she was either 30 years above or was not
looking attractive. When they were worried as to
what to do next, an idea struck Thirumanathoon
Nambi. He recollected the fact that since he left
Tara with sultan, he has visited Kannanoor four
times and he came to know that Tara has become
very dear to Sultan. He even witnessed this himself
while he visted Sultan in his garden. Tara too has
conveyed this to Nambi through signs. Nambi was
thinking as to why not use Tara to infect Sultan?
But would a young beautiful lady accept to take
the disease? Already she is undergoing a life
compared to hell in Sultans place, can I trouble
more?
Of course not, that should not be done to her. But
what else is the solution? He got confused. But
later he thought Tara would accept this as she was
ready to undertake any kind of problem for the sake
of Ranganatha. Why will she not accept this? After
several analysis he finally decided to convey his
plan to Tara.
So he set out to Kannanoor immediately. There
he went to Sultans garden as if to present to a
flower garland to Tara. He had inserted a message
in the garland. Tara after reading the message,
happily agreed for it and conveyed this to Nambi
through signs the next day. So Nambi approached
Sultan and requested him, Your Majesty! I request
you to send Tara who has become your beloved
so much, to our village for a month . Her mother
is terribly ill and she is longing to see her daughter.
Have mercy and send her along with me.
Sultan did not accept immediately but after repeated
n~ _.
Aug '17 w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w 8 wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww VAK
requests from Nambi he agreed half hearetedly.
By two weeks you should leave Tara back here.
Also while coming you have to bring the western
alcohol saying this he agreed to send her.
Whenever we read history, we should not be
correlating the incidents and happenings at that
time to the circumstances related to the current
period and criticize them. The incidents that had
happened would have been based on the
circumstances and the knowledge that was available
at that time. That may sometimes be appearing
to us as unpleasant, cruel, illogical, ignorant at
our times. That does not mean we should criticize
them.
As currently we are in the era of abolishing the
Devadasi system, we should not look down the
tasks done by Devadasis as very cheap. We should
understand all that happened according to the
circumstances of that period.
Tara stayed at the village for two weeks and started
back to Kannanoor. After reaching Kannanoor, when
Nambi asked her to take leave, she was extremely
sad and was speechless.
A deep thought rolled out in Nambis mind. Alas!
This girl was shining moon till few days back. Now
after infected with disease she is looking a moon
in a moth claden pond. The disease has started
troubling both her body and mind. I was the one
who had given her this situation. I have indirectly
become a reason for her death. The thought made
his eyes wet. Tara who saw his sad face said,
Swamy! Why do you feel sorry for it? All this I
volunteered to do myself for the sake of our Lord
Ranganatha. As time passes after me , people
may begin to worship Ranganatha in a peaceful
manner, even if somebody among those lakhs and
lakhs of people appreciate and remember me and
my community for our sacrifice, that itself is enough
to bring solace to our souls. I do not know whether
I will survive till the death of this Sultan and till
we get back our temple as it is a dreaded disease
and will not allow me to survive. If Lord Ranganatha
calls me before even I see all this, Swamy I request
you to remember me and perform my last rites.
You should praise me and my deed in the public.
Only then I can reach the highest abode. Swamy
Will you do this favour for me? By this few may
feel grateful, instead of insulting me.
Swamy! Why are you still crying? I cannot stand
tears rolling down from your eyes. Please stop
crying. Did I tell something which hurt you? Please
look at me! If I see you crying, I will also start
P z=~ h\ aO^= HO JOK h rq`x #$`O K~OK.
crying. Please tell me whether my sindoor is proper
she kept pleading. Thirumanathon nimbi did not
lift his head. He was weeping all the time like a
small baby. After some time he regained his strength
and lifted his eyes to see Tara and started speaking,
Oh noble lady! You are greater than me! You have
more affection than what I have on Lord Ranganatha.
You will be remembered for ever and would have
fame for ever. You will be worshipped by future
generations. I would not be faithful If I dont tell about
you in public. I would not be dear to our Lord
Ranganatha. You have attained the virtue of greatness
at this young age. We will remember you as well
as your community for ever. I have one request for
you said Nambi.
Swamy! Pardon ! Pardon! Please dont say you
are servant for me. You are even saying you have
a request! Please dont ever say that! I am a your
servant who obeys your tiniest orders. Please
command as to what I have to do.
Nambi reacted saying you speak so well! This is
my request only. I am unable to command you. I
dont think I am fit for it. Tara! Somehow or the other
I am responsible for your dreadful disease. Later
when you suffer and your body slowly starts
decomposing, please dont curse me thinking he
is the one who planned all this. Instead will you
please remember me as a helpless Vasihnavite who
did all this to save his kingdom, society and
community and pardon me for what I have done
for you?
Swamy! She broke down into tears. Will I curse
you? Pardon me! If I do such an act I will only go
to hell. I will never do that Swamy. You are the
only one who has been staying here among our
people instead of escaping to other places and helping
them by participating in their struggles and doing
good for them. You are a great soul. You are doing
enormous service. Whatever disease I have it is I
feel an ornament which I have adored for the sake
of Ranganatha. I am very grateful to you for giving
me this opportunity to serve Lord. So please be
cleared of all your doubts and be happy. After hearing
this Nambi felt relieved. When he tried to close the
curtains of the palanquin in which Tara was sitting
she called him again, Swamy!
What? asked Nambi. She hesitated a little.
What is it Tara! speak out! asked Nambi again.
She looked somewhere else and spoke hesitatingly,
Please convey to him.
To whom? asked Nambi She did not answer. Nambi
asked her again, to whom?.
Aug '17 w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w 9 wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww VAK
Then she told, to that young man Vallabha.
She stammered and could not speak clearly and
finally said, please convey that I enquired about
him Her eyes moved far away from this world to
a dream world.
Three months had passed since Tara was left back
to Sultans place by Nambi with the disease. Slowly
Sultan has started showing some signs of the disease.
He had frequent skin problems like rashes, itching
on his body. His calf muscles were infected with
wounds and pus starting oozing from them. But Sultan
did not care much as most of the time he was in
intoxication. Only when his problems aggravated,
he started realizing that something is wrong. The
chief doctor of Sultan ran away after seeing Sultans
wounds. As he was very much aware of the
consequences if he cannot cure the disease. Sultan
never hesitates to chop off their head if the doctors
fail to diagnose and cure the disease. Because of
this behavior of Sultan not even one doctor stayed
in Madurai and now the same thing is happening
in Kannanoor. All doctors slowly disappeared one
by one. When Sultan searched for a doctor nobody
was there. That made sultan very angry that he started
imprisoning the incharge who comes and informs
that he could not find any doctor.
The news spread to Kanchipuram and they were
all happy that their plan is getting executed well.
But their idea that Sultan would leave Kannanoor
and go to Madurai never happened. For reasons
not known he stayed back in Kannanoor itself. Two
months passed by. Thirumana thoon Nambi became
restless. We wished something and something else
is happening he thought. He felt sad remembering
Tara and he wanted to know her health condition.
So he planned to go to Kannanoor to see Tara.
One morning he left for Kannanoor. On the way
he saw lots of people gathering everywhere
discussing about Sultans disease. Finally he
reached the palace garden but with lot of doubts
in his mind. When he saw Sultan sitting in the
garden, he immediately prostated before him and
started weeping terribly. OH! Your majesty! I came
to know you got infected with the disease. How
can God punish people like you? he cried loudly.
Sultan felt mesmerized by these kind words and
spoke, Nambi! I remembered about you. And you
are here. I need a doctor. Do you know any doctor?
There were few flies surrounding Sultans wound.
The maid servants were shooing away the flies by
using hand fans. There was an awkward smell
in the room and as Sultans legs were bandaged.
P#O^OQ xK _O Q P~Q` O . F@q O^_O <~O H^.
Your Majesty! If I could find a doctor I would have
brought him here definitely said Nambi
Please search Immediately for a doctor. Quickly
bring me a good doctor. I will give whatever he asks
for said Sultan.
Your Majesty, I will go in search for a doctor
Immediately saying this Nambi left the place. While
he was walking past a Magizha tree he heard the
voice Swamy!. Looking around he saw Tara with
a smiling face.
Tara! Is that you? I was searching for you everywhere
inside. Are you Alright dear? He looked at her
from top to bottom and said What is this Tara?
You are hale and healthy. Did the disease not trouble
you? said Nambi surprisingly.
Swamy! I am a girl of devotion and austerity. Other
than the one defect I have taken on me there are
no other bad habits for me and hence my strictness
and austerity has limited the disease significantly
and has not troubled me much. As Sultan has several
bad habits the disease has spread rapidly to him
very well. Replied Tara.
Oh! Dear . It is quite heartening to listen to this.
Everything is the doing of Lord Ranganatha. You
should do one more task dear said Nambi.
Please tell me Swamy. Said Tara.
We have to move Sultan from here to Madurai. If
you have an idea for that please implement said
Nambi.
Sure! Lord Ranganatha will be with me and help.
I will do the same said Tara.
When Nambi was taking leave Tara hesitantly said
Swamy!
What Dear? asked Nambi.
With her head down in shyness she said Please
tell him (Vallabha) that I have enquired about him
said Tara.
Nambi understood and said I sent the message
then also and I ill send the message now also
From that day onwards Tara started her advocacy
with Sultan about Madurai. We should go to Madurai.
It is that place which will give relief to the disease.
Vaigai water has lots of medicinal herbs extract
in it. It will surely cure you. Tara continued her
advocacy all the time and slowly Sultans mind
drifted towards Madurai. One day he left Kannanoor
and reached Madurai with all his caravan.
As soon as this information reached Kanchipuram,
quickly they started acting.
(To be continued....)

NEWS NDA ministers seek GST relief for religious bodies
Naqvi bats for Waqf properties; Harsimrat seeks exemption for gurdwaras
Two central ministers want exemption for two religious bodies under the Goods and Services Tax (GST), in first
such voices to emerge from within the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA), after it rolled out the new tax
regime with much fanfare on Friday midnight.
BJP leader and Minorities Affairs Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi has promised to seek tax relief for Waqf
properties, which are mostly rented or leased out for religious, educational or charitable purposes.
Akali Dal leader and Minister of Food Processing Industries Harsimrat Kaur has already asked for exemption
for purchases related to langar (community kitchen) and other services to gurdwaras. The Shiromani Gurdwara
Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) has said that GST will mean an additional annual burden of Rs 10 crore on
gurdwaras. SGPC manages the security, financial, maintenance, besides archaeological and religious as-
pects of gurdwaras.
Under the new law, land leasing, renting of commercial properties and purchase of under-construction housing
projects will attract GST.
Many Waqf boards, which are autonomous bodies under state governments, had approached Naqvi for relief.
Their contention is that most of them are already cash strapped, and are unable to pay salaries and emolu-
ments to their staff. They said many of the properties are encroached, and they would be unable to shoulder
further burden.
At a conference of the Central Wakf Council, Naqvi assured board representatives that the issue will be taken
up with Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, as Waqfs are endowments and not commercial properties.
Kaur on Sunday forwarded a letter of SGPC President Prof Kirpal Singh Badungar to Jaitley, seeking exemp-
tion from GST for langar and other gurdwara services.
She asked Jaitley to favourably consider exempting community and religious services. The letter reminds
Jaitely of the fact that he contested the 2014 Lok Sabha election from Amritsar where Sri Harmandir Sahib or
the Golden Temple runs the world's largest kitchen, offering three meals throughout the year to lakhs of people,
donations for which comes from the humble offerings of devotees.
"Even in the erstwhile VAT regime, langar purchases have never been subjected to taxation. The government of
Punjab has exempted langar purchases at Harmandir Sahib, Sri Kesgar Sahib, Anandpur Sahib, Takhat
Damdama Sahib and Talwandi Sabo Gurdwaras from payment of VAT. Such exemptions are not available from
July 1, 2017," the letter says.
The letter reminds the Finance Minister that even under the new GST regime, exemptions have been granted
to various institutions and businesses. "Presently procurement of items like desi ghee, sugar and pulses by
SGPC runs into roughly Rs 75 crore annually, which will now be under the GST bracket of 5 to 18 per cent, thus
increasing the financial burden by Rs 10 crore on gurdwaras," the letter adds.

NEWS PROTEST GST ON LANGAR, SGPC TOLD
"The SGPC should launch a protest on GST. Putting langar under the GST means placing it under trading, which is
against tenets of Sikhism". Paramjit Singh Sarna, president, SAD (Delhi)
Shiromani Akali Dal (Delhi) president Paramjit Singh Sarna has criticised the SGPCs reported move of procuring
a GST registration number. Sarna has suggested SGPC chief Kirpal Singh Badungar to launch a massive protest
against the Centres move of imposing the GST on langar and other expenses of gurdwaras.
Instead of giving up before the Union Government and getting registered under the GST, the SGPC president
should launch a protest and the SAD (Delhi) will be the first organisation to support him. Union Minister Harsimrat
Badal should ask the Central government to rollback its decision of imposing the GST on gurdwaras or else, she
should part ways from the government. Putting langar under the GST ambit meant placing it under trading, which
is against the ethics of Sikhism, he said.
Meanwhile, the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) approached Union Finance Minister Arun
Jaitley and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal seeking GST exemption on gurdwara purchase.
DSGMC president Manjit Singh GK said, The DSGMC is a non-profit entity and seldom gets any financial aid from
elsewhere. It manages the affairs through donations. Apart from this, it has always been on the forefront in helping
during any natural calamity, disasters or any accident. We also manage old age homes and extend education
assistance by running 12 educational institutions and five aided schools. Keeping these social services in mind,
the Union Government should exempt gurdwaras from paying the GST.

Ramanujas Journey to Sharada Peeth Kashmir
Lord Ramanuja, the great Vaishnavite seer whose
1000 th year birth day was celebrated this year
throughout India with pomp and glory. He was a seer
who brought to light the concept of the whole universe
as one family : Vasudhaiva kutumbikam and brought
to light the right understanding and interpretation
of Vedas and established equal chance for all living
beings to attain salvation at the end of the current
birth by surrendering before the Lord Saranagathi.
In order to putforth his understanding Lord Ramanuja
had to first understand what his predecessor Acharyas
have done to explain the Vedas. On this account
he visited atleast twice to Sharada Peetham of
Kashmir which was the seat of Goddess Saraswathi
and a huge store house of learning known as Shree
Bhandaram. VAK is attempting to bring the interesting
items of this effort of Lord Ramanuja to its readers.
Before we come to the subject of Lord Ramanuja,
it is important for the Readers to know what makes
Sharada Peeth so unique and how Goddess
Saraswathi has made this her abode and how this
place became seat of Learning and a store house
of ancient books. To know about Sharada peetham
one also have to know about Kashmir first and then
proceed. As per the Puranas we understand that
Lord Brahma and Goddess Saraswathi made Kashmir
area as their abode to execute creation. Lord Brahma
and Saraswathi performed Yagnyas in Kashmir area
and it has been accepted by the natural fires coming
of earth here. Raja Tarangini describes this as follows:
| oSz T|nu@ \o uoTwuo [\{u| :@@ several times about Kashmir in Mahabharatha. There
Here Goddess Saraswathi along with Lord Brahma
worshipped Lord Hayagreeva (lord of knowledge),
one of the form of Lord Narayana during their daily
chores and she became the holder of Knowledge
required for and by the creations. When Lord Brahma
could not recap Vedas needed for creation due to
atrocities of Demons Madhu and Kaitabha, Lord
Narayana took the form of Hayagreeva, killed the
demons, brought back the Vedas and taught Lord
Brahma back all the Vedas. Goddess Saraswathi
also took the form of River Saraswathi on the banks
of which significant number of Sages and knowledgable
people were thriving using her sweet waters which
is said to have capacity to improve knowledge.
Several Prajapatis were created which led to the
creation of Vaivasvatha Manu and then mankind.
These noble people performed several penances and
sacrifices (Yagnyas) on the banks of River Saraswati.
<\ `e"#
x~
O, ~ \ |OQ~ q
CSL Narasimhan
There are several integrated prayers on Goddess
Saraswathi and River Saraswathi in the Vedas. E.g.
One of the Yajurveda Prayers say:
t oz uo @ Tzz @ oz z u\yuo@ QuWS
uo (Oh! Goddess Saraswathi who is flowing
in the form of River, the nectar that is there
in your water which has also been there in the
cows and horses in here, please make my mouth
also blessed with that same nectar) This prayer
is used to please the Goddess to bestow good
knowledge and sweet speech..
According to the medieval commentator Uvata, the
main River Sarasvati has Punjab rivers Drishadvati,
Satudri (Sutlej), Chandrabhaga (Chenab), Vipasa (Beas)
and the Iravati (Ravi) as one of its tributaries. As a
river, Saraswathi seems to have emanated from the
Big Himalayan range and has been flowing in multi
directions among which her appearance in Triveni
Sangam Allahabad is one of the main ones..
In Shanti Parva of Mahabharata, Saraswathis
emanation is described. She has been creating sacred
civilizations around her . One of the main
establishments of knowledge around her origin had
been Takshashila which is in northerly direction of
Kashmir from where it is said Sage Vaishampayana
hailed. It is also mentioned in Mahabharatha that
the River Saraswathi in later days changed her course
and went underground.
There are distinct references to Saraswati and
Kasmira in Mahabharat. Sage Vaishampayana refers
is also reference of Kashmir in Ramayana . There
is a story in the puranas which describes how Kashmir
valley was created .
Nila Mata Purana and Gangodbheda Maahatmyam
are two ancient puranas covering the history of
Kashmir which was extensively used by Kalhana
in his Magnum Opus Rajatarangini which is
considered authentic historic representation of
Kashmir area. These texts dont form part of the
18 Puranas but are held very sacred by many revered
people. It is said that items that are seemingly long
and out of context in Mahabharata have been covered
in a Purana called Nila Mata purana which is well
revered by Kashmiris. The NIlamata Purana (yo
m) is an ancient text (6th to 8th century AD)
from Kashmir which contains information on its history,
geography, religion, and folklore. It was used vividly
by Kalhana as one of sources of his history.

According to Nila Mata Purana, Kashmir was originally
a lake known as Sati Saras. Kashmir would have
been derived from either kashyapa-mir (Kashyapas
Lake) or kashyapa-meru (Kashyapas Mountain).
The Nilamata Purana describes the Valleys origin
from the waters, a lake called Sati-saras. In
Mahabharat also sage Brihadashva and Sage
Vaishampayana provide information about Kashmir
to Emperor Janamejaya during the snake sacrifice
Sarpa Yaga. In Neela Mata Purana an extensive
record of this conversation is provided which is not
existant in Mahabharata, based on which Rajatarangini
summarises the story as follows:

G{oou:t tlgNlgoum@ n|Tyz yz uoz @@ interesting to see how Vedas provide us multiple
During creation at the beginning of the Kalpa there
was a great lake here called Sati saras which was
full of water and completely occupied the valley
between the mountains as it was at the belly of
Himalayas and the place was allotted by Vishnu
to the Nagas as per the request by Sage Kashyapa.
Then follows the story of the demon Jalodbbava born
in the waters and reared by the Nagas. Having
obtained boons from Brahma, the demon began to
destroy the descendants of Manu dwelling in the
lands of Darvabhisara, Gandbars, Jubundura, the
Sakas, the Khasas etc. Seeing this devastation,
Nila the king of the Nagas approached his father
Kashyapa and prayed to him to intercede with the
gods to punish the evil-doer and to save the innocent
victims. He requested the gods, Brahma, Vishnu
as Upendra and Siva to do the needful. Vishnu
followed by Brahma, Siva and various other deities,
proceeded to Naubandhana to punish the demon.
The demon was imperishable in the waters; so Vishnu
asked Ananta to make an outlet for the waters of
Sati Sara by breaking forth the mountain-barriers.
He did accordingly. Vishnu then cut off the demons
head with his disc. Now the dry land being available
in the valley, Kasyapa expressed the desire that
it should be inhabited by both the Nagas as well
as the descendants of Manu.This is none other
than the valley of Kashmir.
Another important text Gangodbheda Mahatmya
provides an account of how Goddess Saraswathi
selected her abode here and created Saraswathi
Peetham. As we saw earlier, Parajapathis thrived
on the banks of River saraswathi to assist Lord
Brahma and perform yagnyas. Sage Pulasthya who
was one of the Prajapathis assisting Lord Brahma
P`qO =# =H W`~ # `#"O@ #_O *
in creation wanted to perform Yagnya here at an
elevated and remote place in Kashmir land called
Bheda giri (may also sometimes have been known
as Veda Giri). Like his preceptor and creator Brahma,
Sage Pulasthya was also an ardent devotee of Lord
Narayana whom here he worshipped in the form of
Hayagreeva. There was a need for sacred water for
the Yagnya and Sage Pulasthya performed severe
penance praying to Saraswathi for that :
mz tzy oy \zu|u\yoy @

The above Veda Mantra seems to have been
which is

commentary says z oy, EN r uo ut: NtTXZo@

osTXZunns|: Oh! Goddess Saraswathi please
protect us by providing all the materials such as
food for Yaga. Please come to our Yagnya. Please
come from the heaven or from big mountain or
mountain Meru. Since Kashmir is Kashya-meru the
prayer was answered by the Goddess Saraswathi
and she gushed in the form of water cutting across
the big mountain to appear before Sage Paulasthya
first in the form of water. This water is known as
Gangodbheda. Sage Paulasthya again performed
Penance to have a glimpse of the Goddess and
worship her. She appeared to him after years of
Penance in the form of a Swan. At the request of
Sage Pulasthya, Goddess Saraswathi made the
Beda-Giri as her permanent abode and assured him
that her waters will always be flowing here which
is described by Kalhana as :
tzy zguTz: wWTz TWTzztY{@

Thus the Sharada Peetham was born. This is also
known as Sharada Vanam. Many Sages were having
their abode near Sharada Peetham and it had become
a place of great collection of sages, learned people
and their library of good books which is known as
Shree Bhandaram. Sage Vaishampayana belonged
to this area. Similarly Sage Shandilya hailed from
Sharada Vanam.
