9789355213792- The Hidden Hindu "द हिडन हिंदू-1"

इक्कीस साल का पृथ्वी एक अधेड़ और रहस्यमयी अघोरी ओम्‌ शास्त्री की तलाश कर रहा है, जिसे पकड़कर भारत के एक सुनसान द्वीप पर अत्याधुनिक सुविधाओं के बीच भेज दिया गया | विशेषज्ञों की एक टीम ने जब उस अघोरी को नशे की दवा दी और पूछताछ के लिए सम्मोहित किया, तो उसने दावा किया कि वह सभी चार युगों-सतयुग, त्रेता, द्वापर व कलियुग–(हिंदू धर्म के अनुसार चार युग) को देख चुका है और रामायण तथा महाभारत की घटनाओं में हिस्सा ले चुका है |

9789355218841- The Hidden Hindu 2 "द हिडन हिंदू-2"

अब भी अतीत की बातों के उत्तर ढूँढ़ते ओम् का साक्षात्कार अज्ञात से होता है। मृत संजीवनी पुस्तक दुष्टों के हाथ लग जाने के बाद क्या धर्मपरायण लोग विजयी हो पाएँगे? मृत संजीवनी में कौन से रहस्य हैं, जो गलत हाथों में पड़ने पर अराजकता और विनाश ला सकते हैं ?

ओम् कौन है? एल.एस.डी. और परिमल की वास्तविकता क्या है? अन्य अमर लोग कहाँ छिपे हैं? क्या हैं ये शब्द, जो अजीबोगरीब गूढ़ जगहों में बिखरे पड़े हैं और नागेंद्र इन्हें क्यों इकट्ठा कर रहा है ?

9789355216144- The Hidden Hindu 3 "द हिडन हिंदू-3"

देवध्वज कौन है--नागेंद्र या ओम ? परिमल और एल.एस.डी. एक-दूसरेपर भरोसा नहीं कर पाते हैं; जबकि नागेंद्र मृत्यु हो जाने के बाद भी पुनर्जीवित होजाता है--पूर्ण स्वस्थ और पहले से कहीं अधिक शक्तिशाली रूप में । परशुरामऔर कृपाचार्य धराशायी हो चुके ओम्‌ के अतीत में उलझ गए हैं; जबकि वृषकपिनिश्चित मृत्यु से लड़ रहा है, जो मिलारेपा को पहले ही निगल चुकी है।

The LORD who reveals Himself every 40 years ~ ‘ATHI VARADAR OF KANCHIPURAM ,’ India.

Kanchipuram is one of the Seven Holy Cities in India with Goddess “Kamakshi Amman” Ruling. Kanchi Puram means, Ka - Bramha, Anchi - Worshipped (Lord Vishnu) Puram - City.

~Sri Varadaraja Perumal Temple - Kanchipuram , Tamil nadu state, India.

Sri Varadaraja Perumal temple is one of the most famous temples in Kanchipuram that was built by the kings of Vijayanagara Dynasty in the 12th Century. It is one of the 108 Divya Desams of Lord Vishnu. The main God of this temple is Lord Vishnu and He is known by the name “Athi Varadaraja Perumal”. The main idol of the Lord Athi Varadhar is said to have been installed by Lord Brahmma Himself. Varadha means “Giver of Blessings or Boons”.

There is something really special and remarkable about this Temple. Since 01-July-2019 ,lakhs of  hindu devotees are thronging to this temple for a “Rare Darshan”.

On 01-July-2019, the idol called “Athi Varadar” was taken out of the temple Sacred Tank - ‘Ananta Sarovar’  and has been kept for darshan. This is also called “Athi Varadhar Rising” .Lord Athi Varadhar is taken out of the water once in 40 years and worshipped for 48 days. Lord Athi Varadhar will be placed out for 48 days for darshan.The last time when Lord Varadhar gave Darshan was in July -1979 and the next darshan will be in July-2059.

~ Ananta Sarovar - the temple sacred tank , where ‘HE’ resides within worshipped by Aananta Sesha.

WHY THE WORSHIP ONLY ONCE EVERY 40 YEARS?

Athi Varadar was originally worshiped by Lord Brahma in Satya-yuga, by Gajendra in Treta-yuga, by Sage Brihaspathi in Dwapara-yuga and by Ananta Shesha in Kali-yuga.

Once while Lord Brahma was performing a yagna (fire sacrifice), in Kanchipuram, the fire touched the wooden Deity of Sri Athi Varadar. Brahma asked the Lord for a remedial measure to worship the Deity; the Lord instructed him to keep the Deity in the lake surrounded by the replicas of Ananta Shesha. Hence the Deity is till date in the temple pond.

~ The Place within the temple tank where the Lord himself rest’s .

~ The Lord is risen from the temple tank to be worshipped by HIS devotees for a period of 48 days.

While Brahma worshiped the Deity alone, Lord Vishnu tells Brahma,”You are worshiping Me constantly. You should also give an opportunity to others for worship as well”.To this Lord Brahma agreed to allow the Lord’s worship only for a few nano seconds. Similarly, when Gajendra and Brihaspathi were worshiping, they allowed the worship during their period only for a few minutes on Lord Vishnu’s request.

In a similar manner, when Ananta Shesha worships, he allows the worship to be offered by others for 48 days i.e, once in 40 years only. After this period of 1 mandala, the Lord is immersed back in the Ananta Sarovar to be worshiped by Ananta Shesha for next 40 years. Ananta Sarovar is the sannidhanam of Lord Ananta Shesha.

As per the shastras, the time varies from the upper planetary systems to the lower planetary systems. A moment of Brahma residing in the Satyaloka which is the top-most planetary system in this material realm, is considered as a year on this Bhooloka (planet earth) and so on.This year the auspicious period for the Lord’s worship by the devotees is from 01 July 2019 to 18 Aug 2019. The next darshan would be in 2059. 

THE HISTORY OF ATHI VARADAR DEITY

The Deity of Athi Varadar is one among the four Deities of Lord Varadaraja worshiped by Brahma. In the Satya-yuga this Deity was carved out of Fig tree wood by ‘Vishwakarma - the divine architect’. This was the mula-vigraha worshiped in the sanctum of the Kanchi Varadaraja Perumal Temple until the early 16th century. Due to the Muslim invasion, the Athi Varadar vigraha was immersed inside the sacred pushkarani of the temple secretively and the truth was known only to one family.

~Athi Varadar being carried by HIS devotees  in to the temple from the temple tank with great pomp .

For forty long years, the temple had no Deity for worship thus no puja happening in the temple. The two brothers in the Dhatacharya lineage under whose authority the Deity was hidden, passed away thus taking away the secret forever. Their two sons tried their best to bring back the Deities to Kanchipuram. One Madhwa devotee brought the utsavar back from the Udayar Palayam forest and utsavar puja began.

Unable to locate the original Deity of Athi Varadar, the authorities of the temple decided to install the Deity made out of stone and thus the Deity was brought from the Padma Giri in Pazayaseevaram located approximately 30 kms from Kanchipuram. This Deity was known as Devaraja Perumal and was worshiped by Athri Rishi. He very much resembled Athi Varadaraja. Pazayaseevaram is located on the confluence of Payasvini, Vegavathi and Bahunadhi rivers.

~devotees throng in huge numbers to worship the lord .

Around 1709 the pushkarani (temple sacred tank) of the temple was emptied and Lord Athi Varadar was seen at the base of the sacred tank. The authorities then decided to take the vigraha out only once in forty years for 48 days and keep Him back.This Deity is kept safely inside the Ananta Sarovar – the temple pushkarani of Varadaraja Temple in Kanchipuram for forty years. Only once in forty years, the Deity is brought out for the darshan for 48 days. This decision was taken based on the above mentioned spiritual reason.

Darshan details for those interested:

July 1- August 15, 2019 : Daily 5 a.m.-5 p.m. Up to 8 p.m. on special days. Free entry and ₹50 entry through East Rajagopuram. Online booking of ₹500 for special darshan and Sahasranama archana, from July 4 through website: www.tnhrce.org. Entry through West Gopuram. 

Do not miss the opportunity of darshan of Lord Athi Varadar ~ the Lord who has chosen to reveal himself only once every 40 years - an exceptional period of wait !

Jalaram Bapa a saint from Virpur

By:Surinder Jain. A once mighty civilization that India was, it continues to produce men and women of exceptional abilities from time to time and from place to place. The land of Punjab is Vir Bhumi, land of Kerala is Punuruthana Bhumi, land of UP and Utrakhand is Dev Bhumi, land of Bengal is Reform Bhumi, land of Bihar Jharkhand is Shanti Sandesh Bhumi, land of Tamilnadu is Prabandh Bhumi and so on. The land of Gujarat is famous as Sant Bhumi. Each Bhumi or land or state has produced many stars in its category.

Jalaram Bapa idol at a temple in Vadodara, dressed in colorful attire on occasion of Jalaram Jayanti holding a danda and wearing a turban. Jethwarp - Own work Gujarat has produced many saints. One such saint of Gujarat who lived mostly in 19th century affectionately known as Bapa (meaning great Dad) started a tradition of feeding the poor, the needy and everyone else who came to him. I had gone to Virpur where Bapa was born and witnessed his open kitchen, open to all, his earthen vessel that quenches the thirst of all and a place that does not accept donations. Even after 200 years, Bapa continues to shower his blessings and money has never been a problem to serve.  The main shrine of Jalaram Bapa is located at Virpur. The shrine is actually the house complex where Jalaram lived during his lifetime. The shrine houses the belongings of Jalaram and the deities of Rama, Sita, Lakshamana and Hanuman worshipped by him. It also has on display the Jholi and Danda said to be given by God. But the main attraction is the portrait of Jalaram Bapa. There is also an actual black and white photo of Jalaram Bapa, taken one year before his death. The temple is one of a kind in the world in a way that it has not been accepting any offerings since 9 February 2000. Jalaram Bapa popularly known as Bapa was a Hindu saint from Gujarat, India. Bapa is revered by many people around the world for his saintly qualities and his ability to work miracles but most of all he is remembered for his selfless acts of charity. Bapa was born on 14 November 1799 in the town of Virpur near Rajkot in India. He got married to Virbai at the age of sixteen. Virbai Maa, as she is popularly known, supported Bapa wholeheartedly in his saintly duties. Bapa’s feats of kindness, his devotion to God and his miracles are well documented. At the age of 20, after obtaining his Guru’s blessings, Bapa started his Sadavrat (‘an oath forever’), providing free food to every person, at first to sadhus (monks) but later extended to anyone who dropped in. Inspired by his insatiable desire to feed the poor and needy, many became his devotees. True to Bapa’s desire and nearly 200 years later this tradition of feeding people continues to this day in Virpur. For his devotees this meal is now a Prasad. Virpur has become an important Pilgrimage centre in India and attracts thousands of visitors daily. Although Bapa origins were from the Lohana community his work and influence extended to all as he considered all castes and religions equally worthy of help and respect. Bapa died in 1881 whilst praying. He was a divine soul who worked selflessly for humanity. His deeds are inspiring millions of people to follow the path of humanity and service. His birthday (Jayanti) each year is celebrated by many thousands of people across the world. His mandirs everywhere still serve the same Prasad of “Rotla, Khichdi, Kadhi and Shaak” and preach about the completely unselfish and kind deeds of Bapa. Read the full article

First priest of Sri Mandir Sharat Kumar passes away

Shri Sharat Kumar Ji passed away last Wednesday. He arrived in Australia in mid 1970s. He had studied at Gurukul in Hardwar, India. He was highly knowledgeable in Gita and other Hindu scriptures. Also he had a deep knowledge of Hindu Samskars and Puja formalities. In late 1970 and 1980s when we did not have qualified Hindu priests, he used to perform Pujas at Sri Mandir and at people’s houses. He was living in Wollongong as he was working as a Librarian at the Wollongong University. He would travel to Sydney to perform Pujas. He would never charge for his services.

He was the most thorough gentleman. Never heard anything harsh from him about anybody. He would address everybody “Bhaiji”. He had tried to pass on the Gita recitation to his children and grand children. May God Almighty bestow Peace to his noble soul. Read the full article
