Sambhu is all powerful by Nature

Jai Sri Ram,
The difference between the individual soul and the God should be similarly explained,

Holy men never drink wine

Jai Sri Ram,
If in their pride of wisdom foolish men emulate the great,

They are cast into hell for a whole Kalpa or life time of the universe,

Can an embodied soul vie with God.

Holy men would never drink wine even if they come to know that it had been made of water from Ganga, but the same wine becomes pure when it is poured into Ganga,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

Sun and the Fire

Jai Sri Ram,
Even so the sun and the fire absorb moisture in all forms,

But no one can call them names

Again water of every description, pure as well as impure,

Flows into the Ganga, yet no one calls the heavenly stream impure, the mighty incur no blame,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please  

Hare Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
If her Marriage take place with Sankara,

The wise do not blame him for the same,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

one remedy

Jai Sri Ram,
Nevertheless i tell you one remedy,

This may avail if heaven helps you,

May lord bless all,

Jai Sri Ram,
Love for the lotus feet of Lord Shiva sprouted in her heart,

Their feeling was different

Jai Sri Ram,
Hearing the words of the sage and believing them to be true,

Himalaya and his wife became disconsolate,

Even though their other expressions were the same, their feeling was different,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Stark Naked

Jai Sri Ram,
Your Daughter, O Himalaya, is endowed with auspicious marks,

Hear now the few drawbacks she possesses,

Devoid of merits, free from pride, without father or mother, unconcerned and free from doubts,

An ascetic with matted hair and a heart devoid of longing, stark naked and with hideous accouterments, such a one shall be her lord, as i can read from the lines on her palm,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

The sage smilingly replied in the following soft yet significant words,

Summoning his daughter, placed her at the sage's feet,

Narada

Jai Sri Ram,
Receiving all the news Narada eagerly went to the house of Himachal,

All rivers bore holy waters, beast and bees, all rejoiced, all animals gave up their natural antipathies and all those dwelt on the mountain loved one another,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Himalaya

Jai Sri Ram,
The story is known throughout the world,

That is why i have told it in brief,

While dying, Sati asked a boon of sri Hari that she might remain devoted to the feet of Shiva in all successive births,

That is why she was reborn as Parvati, the daughter of Mountain Himalaya, in the house of Himachal, the only pleading over the Himalaya mountain,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

He Sent Virabhadra

Jai Sri Ganesha,
Shankara got all the news and in his wrath He sent Virabhadra,

Going there the latter made havoc of the sacrifice,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

Plaintive cry

Jai Sri Ram,
A plaintive cry rose from the whole assembly,

Hearing of Sati's death.

The Attendants of Shambhu began to destroy the sacrifice,

Seeing the sacrifice being destroyed, the great sage Braghu protected it,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

Fire of Yoga

Jai Sri  Ram,
And This Body of mine has sprung from the loins of Daksha,

Therefore, installing in my heart Lord Shiva,

Who bears the moon on his forehead and a bull as his emblem,

I shall immediately quit the body, as she spoke thus she burnt her body with the fire of Yoga,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Universal Spirit,

Jai sri Ram,
Whatever you hear a saint, Sambhu or Vishnu that lord of Laxmi vilified,

The rule is that if it lies within your power, you should tear out the tongue of the reviler or you should run away closing your ears,

The Slayer of Tripura, The great Shiva, is Universal Spirit,

He is the father of the universe and is beneficent to all, it is him my stupid father vilifies,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

shall fully repent

Jai Sri Ram,
Then she Sharply re-approaching the whole assembly,

tries to pacify her

Jai sri Ram,
The thought of the same made Sati furious,

Her Mother tries to pacify her in many ways,

The insult to Shiva was something unbearable,

Her heart could not, therefore, be pacified,

May lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Most painful

Jai sri Ram,
Then did she realize the force of Sankara's warning,

Her heart burnt within her at the thought of the insult offered to her lord,

The former grief that of repudiation by her lord did not torment her heart so much as the great agony she now felt, as result of the insult offered to her husband,

Although there are terrible agonies of various kinds in this world, the insult offered to one's own people is the most painful of them all,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

Profuse smile

Jai sri Ram,
Her sisters received her with profuse smile,

Daksa would not even inquire about her health,

He burnt all over with rage at the very sight of Sati,

Sati then went to have a look at the sacrifice but nowhere dis she find any share of oblations set apart for Sambhu,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

An epithet of Shiva

Jai Sri Ram,
The slayer of Tripura detailed a few of his principal attendants as her escort and sent her away,

When Bhavani etymologically, the consort of Bhava, an epithet of Shiva, Reached her fathers house,

No one greeted Her for fear of incurring Daksha,s displeasure,

Her mother was the solitary figure who met her kindly,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Not Going To Stay

Jai Sri Ram,
Lord repeated once more that if she went to her father's place uninvited,

May lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Sri Radha Ashtami

Jai Sri Ram,
It is very pious chapter today, the appearance day of sri Sri Radha ji, indeed a day when celestial entities manifest on the planet in different forms for oblations of the day and to mark self with,

Thanks please 

Hare Rama

Jai Sri Baba Lal ji,
It is no doubt true one should call on one's friend, father or teacher without waiting for a formal invitation,

Yet where someone nurses a grudge against you,

You reap no good by going there.

Sambhu expostulated with Sati in so many ways but as fate had willed wisdom would not dawn on her,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

If you go there uninvited

Jai Sri Ram,
In the court of Brahma he once took offence at our behavior,

That is why he insult us even Now,

Bhivani, all decorum, affection, and honor will be cast to the winds,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

Lord Shiva replied

Jai Sri Ram,
Lord Shiva replied, your suggestion is good and has commended itself to me as well,

But the anomaly is that_

Your father has sent no invitation to us,

Daksha has invited all his other daughters, but because of the grudge he bears to you too have been ignored,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Sri Ganesh Jayanti

Jai Sri Ram,
On the occasion of Sri Shiv Vivah,

At the direction of the sages Sambhu and Bhavani paid divine honors to the Lord Ganesha,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Tormented her heart

Jai Sri Ram,
Repudiation by her Lord tormented her heart not a little,

But conscious of her guilt she would not utter a  word,

At last Sati spoke in a charming voice tinged with awe, misgiving and affection,

There is great rejoicing at my father's house, O Lord. if you grant me leave, i would fain go and see, O storehouse of compassion,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

Sati inquired

Jai Sri Ram,
When Sati inquired about the stir in the air,

Shiva explained the whole thing,

She was somewhat delighted to hear of the sacrifice commenced by her father,

And thought of making it an excuse for staying a few days with her Father in case the great Lord Shiva granted her leave,

May lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

Celestial damsels

Jai Sri ram,
All the gods with exception of Sri Vishnu, Viranchi that Creator, and the great Lord Shiva set out in their areal cars,

Sati Beheld beautiful areal cars of various patterns coursing through the air,

Celestial damsels were singing melodies strains,

Which intruded upon the air of ascetics and broke their meditation,

May lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Big Sacrifice

Jai Sri Ram,
Daksha got together all sages,

And began to perform a big sacrifice,

All the gods who obtain a share of the oblations offered at the sacrifice were cordially invited to attend,

Kinnaras, a species of demigods, Naga, Siddhas, a class of celestial beings and Gandharva that celestial songster and whole host of gods proceeded to the sacrifice along with their wives,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Intoxicate

Jai Sri Ram,
When Daksha attained this high position,

The Pride of his heart knew no bounds,

Never was a creature born in this world,

Whom power did not intoxicate,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

Daksha

Jai Sri Ram,
He began to narrate the delightful stories of Sri Hari,

Meanwhile Daksha Sati's father, had come to know be the lord of created beings,

On careful consideration the creator Brahma found Daksha qualified in every-way,

And appointed him as the supreme lord of created beings,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Name of Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
Shiva started repeating the name of Rama,

Then Sati came to know that the Lord of universe had come to the waking stale,

She went and bowed at the feet of Sambhu,

Sankara gave her a seat opposite himself,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

Unbearable Calamity

Jai Sri Ram,
If i have any devotion to the feet of Shiva,

And if i am true to my vow in thought, word and deed,

Then, O all perceiving Lord,

Listen to me, and speedily devise some plan whereby i may die and be thus rid of this unbearable calamity without much exertion,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Radhe Radhe

Jai Sri Ram,
Gopies of Sri Vrindavan struggle hard to meet the fate of their want,

It was nothing else but Love for Sri Krishna and Love from Sri Krishna,

This want ever remains New, this was the quest of divinity within self that pitched on true and unalloyed love for Krishna, Krishna-the Heart Master,

Indeed they were blessed to rise above the limitation of worldly wants and cross the horizon to recall their ultimate soul mate Krishna,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

Hare Krishna

Jai sri Ram,
Every one in the journey of life is bound to work incessantly, all work by nature compose of good and bad, good may pose bad, bad may pose god, as both are two facets of the karma, pitched in three streams, one cannot afford extra attachment to the karma, let it be and be it for the lotus feet of almighty Truth, to escape from the resultant of Karma,

For man, it is very clear in perception that be man, not yield to cowardice, is beneath real nature of  the man, one needs to shake off this weakness and stand up to struggle for the righteousness,

Do not give up your righteous duty, for the story of dishonor will be repeated, one who value his honor, that is surely worse than death,

Message of Lord Krishna is very clear and simple that on the path of spirituality, effort never goes to waist, there is no adverse effect, even a little effort towards spiritual awareness will bring protection from the greatest fear,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

I beseech

Jai Sri Ram,
The anguish of her heart was beyond words,

The sane lady invoked the presence of Rama in her Heart,

And address Him Thus_

If they refer to you as compassionate to the poor and if Vedas have glorified you as the dispeller of Sorrow, I beseech with joined palms, O Lord, i may speedily rid of this body of mine,

May Lord Bless all

Thanks Please 

Alienating

Jai Sri Ram,
Now, O God_

It does not behoove you

That you should make me survive,

Even after alienating me from Sankara,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

The Grief

Jai sri Ram,
The grief that preyed on Sati's mind was ever new,

For she did not know when she would be able to cross the ocean of sorrow,

I slighted the Lord of Raghu's and again took my husband's words to be untrue,

Providence has repaid me for my sins and has done only which i deserve,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please  

The Trounce

Jai Sri Ram,
Sankara communed with his own self and passed into in unbroken and indefinitely long Samadhi, the Trance,

Then Sati dwelt in Kailash,

Her Mind grievously sorrowing,

No body knew anything about what was going on in her mind, but the days hung heavy on her like so many Yugas or ages,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

The pose of the Lotus

Jai Sri Ganesha,
Relating various legends while on his way,

The Lord of the universe, Shiva, reached kailasa,

Then, recalling his Vow,

Shambhu sat down there under a banyan tree in the yogic pose known as Padmasana, the pose of a lotus,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please

Narrated beautiful stories

Jai sri Ram,
The conscious of her guilt she could not utter a word of protest,

But all the while her heart smoldered like a furnace,

Perceiving the sad look of Sati,

Shiva, who has a bull emblazoned on his standard narrated beautiful stories in order to divert her mind,

May lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Her Fault

Jai Sri Ram,
She Realized that Lord Shiva is supremely unfathomable ocean of mercy,

Hence He did not openly declare Her Fault,

From the attitude of Sankara, however she judged,

That the lord had abandoned her and felt disturbed in her heart,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Love

Jai Sri Ram,
Even water when mixed with milk, look at the unifying process of Love,

The water, however, is separated from milk and the taste also disappears the moment a drop of acid is introduced into it in the form of falsehood,

Sati Felt perturbed in her heart at the thought of what she has done,

And the extent of her anxiety could be gauged nor described,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

She Realized

Jai Sri Ram,
The slayer of demon Tripura, Sankara, spoke not a word,

Sati concluded that the omnipresent Lord had come to know everything,

And felt sorry that she had tried to deceive Shambhu,

The Woman is silly and stupid by nature, She realized,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

O merciful Lord,

Jai Sri Ram,
Tell me, O merciful Lord,

What vow You have taken,

You are an embodiment of truth and compassionate to the Poor,

Even though Sati inquired in ways more than one, the slayer of the demon Tripura, Sankara, spoke not a word,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Sri Rama

Jai sri Ram,
Who else than you can take such a vow,

You are a devotee of sri Rama,

And all powerful Lord at the same time,

Sati felt troubled at heart when she heard the heavenly voice,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Cause of devotion

Jai Sri Ram,
Shiva resolved accordingly and having so resolved the stable minded lord proceeded towards his home that mount Kailash with his mind fixed on the hero of Raghu's race,

Even as he stepped forward a charming voice from heaven thundered forth,

Glory to the great Lord Shiva,

Who has so staunchly beheld the cause of devotion,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

So long

Jai Sri Ram,
The Great Lord Shiva uttered not a word aloud,

Although there was a great agony in his heart,

Then Sankara bowed his head at the feet of Lord and as soon as he invoked Sri Rama the idea came to his mind,

That he should have no connection with Sati so long she continued to remain in that body,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Cult

Jai Sri Ram,
If i continue to love Sati as heretofore,

The cult of devotion will disappear,

And it will be indecorous on my part to do so,

Sati is too Chaste to be abandoned and it is a great sin to love her any more as wife,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

This Made Shiva much disconsolate at heart,

Jai Sri Ram,
What have been proclaimed by the will of Sri Hari must have its way,

The all wise Shambhu thought within Himself,

Sati had assumed the disguise of Sita,

This Made Shiva much disconsolate at heart,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Saawan

Jai Sri Ram,
Spirit of Saawan is right here for last few days more, indeed a span to realize and realign self with truth and the cause,

Among Four Main chapters of the year, Saawan is unique with truth of Lord Shiva, the mystic compassionate and Lord Rama rejoice this truth along with his devotees and distribute the fruits on the pitch of wish and will,

The Atman, being entered in the body is process of nature on the verdict of a hidden truth but man can make a lot from with just wakeful state and refine conscious,

Lord Rama help devotees varyingly to rescue them from the whirlpool of Maya on the occasion, and the occasion is Sacred Saawan, one of the four,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Prompted Sati to lie

Jai Sri Ram,
What you said cannot be untrue,

I am fully convinced in my heart,

Lord Shankara then looked within by contemplation and came to know all that Sati had done,

Again he bowed his head against the delusive power of Sri Rama that had prompted Sati to lie,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Hare Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
Having realized the greatness of the Hero of Raghu's Race,

Sati in her Awe concealed the truth from Shiva,

I Made no test my Lord,

I Made obeisance just like you,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

Smilingly inquired

Jai sri Ram,
Repeatedly bowing Her Head at the feet of Sri Rama,

She proceeded to the spot where the Lord of Kailash was,

When she came near, Lord Shiva smilingly inquired if all was well with her and then said,

Tell me now the whole truth, how did you test sri Rama,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Sat down on the wayside

Jai Sri Ram,
Her heart quivered and she lost all consciousness of her body,

Closing her eyes she sat down on the wayside,

When she opened her eyes and gazed once more,

The daughter of Daksa saw nothing there,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

Most terrible

Jai Sri Ram,
Sati was much dejected at heart,

I heeded not the word of Sankara and imposed my own ignorance on Rama,

What reply shall I give to my lord now,

The agony of her heart was most terrible,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Sati was struck with great awe,

Jai Sri Ram,
But while the gods who adored the lord appeared in diverse garbs,

The appearance of Sri Rama was the same in every case,

Though she saw many Rama with as many Sitas, their garb did not vary,

Seeing the Same Rama, Same Laxmana, and the Same Sita, Sati was struck with great awe,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks, please 

Each separate vision of Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
She further perceived innumerable Satis, consort of Lord Shiva

Perceived consort of Brahma and Vishnu, all peerless in beauty,

They confirmed in their appearance to the garb in which Brahma and the other gods appeared,

Each separate vision of Rama was attended by a whole host of gods with their feminine counterparts, as well as by the whole animate and inanimate,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks, please 

Different Garbs

Jai Sri Ram,
Sati saw more than one sets of Shiva, Brahma, and Vishnu,

Each set possessing a glory infinitely greater than that of others,

She also beheld a whole host of gods bowing at the Lord's feet,

And, awaiting upon him in their different garbs,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks, please 

Enthroned

Jai Sri Ram,
Sri Rama was going ahead of her along with his consort, Sri Sita ji, and his younger brother Laxmana,

She Looked Back_and

Whichever way she turned her eyes, there was the Lord enthroned with the Siddhas that adepts and illuminated sages ministering to him,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please

Strange Phenomena

Jai sri Ram,
The agony of her heart was most terrible,

Sri Rama perceived that Sati had got faxed,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

My Lord Now

Jai Sri Ram,
She turned towards the great Lord Shiva with a feeling of awe and much dejected at heart,

I heeded not the word of Sankara,

I imposed my own ignorance on Rama,

What reply shall i give to my Lord Now,

May Lord Bless all

Thanks please 

Significant words of Rama

Jai sri Ram,
Joining the palms of his hands, he first made obeisance to her mentioning His Name along with his father's,

He then asked her the whereabouts of the Lord Shiva,

Who has bull emblazoned on his standard and wondered what makes her roam  about all alone in the forest,

Sati felt very uncomfortable when she heard these soft yet significant words of Rama,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please  

Nature of Woman

Jai Sri Ram,
Sati sought to practise deception on him,

Se how deep routed is the nature of a woman is,

Extolling in heart the potency of his Maya,

Sri Rama smilingly accosted her in a mild tone,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

False appearance

Jai sri Ram,
All perceiving and the inner controller of all,

The Lord's of gods, Sri Rama_

Took no time in detecting the false appearance of Sati,

Rama was the Same omnipresent Lord whose very thought wipes out ignorance,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Astonished and puzzled

Jai Sri Ram,
When Laxmana saw Uma that Sati, in her disguise,

He was astonished and much puzzled,

He was tongue tied and looked very grave,

The sagacious brother was acquainted with the Lord's glory,

May Lord Bless all, 

Assumed the form of Sita

Jai Sri Ram,
Why should one add to the complication by indulging in further speculation,

So saying, Lord Shiva began to mutter the name of Sri Hari,

While Sati Proceeded to the spot where the all blissful Lord Sri Rama was,

After Many an anxious thought Sati Assumed the form of Sita and moved ahead on the same rout along which the ruler of men Sri Rama was passing,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Her Doubt

Jai sri Ram,
When her doubt did not yield even to my assurances,

After all, whatever Sri Rama has willed must come to pass,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please  

She racked her brain

Jai Sri Ram,
Thus obtaining leave of Shiva,

Sati Proceeded on her mission,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Critical Judgement

Jai Sri Ram,
If you have a grave doubt in your mind,

Why not go and verify the thing,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

No impression

Jai Sri Ram,
Although Lord Shiva repeated this time after time,

His exhortation made no impression on the heart of Sati,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Sri Vyas Puja

Jai sri Ram,
I bow to the lotus feet of Sri Rama, who is an ocean of mercy and is no other than Sri Hari Vishnu, the sustainer of this universe,

I greet the pollen like dust of the lotus feet of Sri Rama, refulgent, fragrant and flavored with love, indeed a lovely powder of the life giving herb, which allays the host of all the attendant ills of mundane existence,

It rubs the dirt off the beautiful mirror in the shape of the devotee's heart, when applied to the forehead in the form of Tilaka, a religious mark,

On the auspicious occasion of Sri Sri Vyas Puja, i make very humble obeisance in the lotus feet of Sri Rama, the Lord of this Universe and a tangible help to meek and the weak,

Obeisance to a prince

Jai Sri Ram,
When Sati beheld Shambhu in this state,

A grave doubt arose in her mind,

Shankara is a lord of the universe himself,

And deserve universal adoration, gods, men and sages all bow their head to him, yet he made obeisance to a prince,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Redeemer of the universe

Jai Sri Ram,
The destroyer of cupid Shiva, passed on exclaiming,

As Shiva went on his way with Sati, all merciful Lord was repeatedly thrilled with joy,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

He feasted

Jai Sri Ram,
The dull witted in their height of folly imagine something quite different,

On that very occasion Sambhu saw Sri Rama and excessive joy of an extraordinary type welled up in his heart,

He feasted His eyes on that ocean of beauty,

But He did not disclose His identity as he knew it was no appropriate occasion for the same,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Exceedingly mysterious

Jai Sri Ram,
The Lord of Raghus felt distressed at the loss like a mortal man,

The two brothers roamed about in the woods in search of her,

He who knows neither unison nor separation showed unmistakable signs of grief born of separation,

Exceedingly mysterious are the ways of the lord of Raghus, the supremely wise alone can comprehend them,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please

With tears

Jai sri Ram,
The Fool Ravana carried off king Videha's daughter Sita by fraud,

His eyes was filled with tears when he saw the empty hermitage,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please  

Puzzle

Jai Sri Ram,
If i do not go to meet him, I shall ever regret it,

Meanwhile the vile Ravana took with him the demon Marica, who forthwith assumed the illusory form of a deer,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

Hare Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
Sati, however, had no inking of this secret,

His mind, says Tulsidasa, apprehended lest the secret might be disclosed while the temptation of obtaining a sight of the Lord made his eyes wistful,

Ravana, demon king of Lanka, had sought from Brahma the boon of death at the hands of a human foe,

And the Lord would have the words of Brahma come true,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Great tumult

Jai sri Ram,
How can i obtain a sight of Him,
