Agni In Water

The Vedic verses speak about Badaba Agni in the ocean. Badaba refers to a mare, a female horse in Sanskrit. The verses state that there is a fire in the middle of the ocean called Badaba Agni which absorbs the excess water entering the ocean and prevents the water from breaching its shores. This Badaba Agni is also the fire which will destroy everything during pralaya.

Interestingly, NASA has detected many thermal anomalies that appear to be fires in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. We have also heard of the horse-shoe shaped ring of fire in the Pacific responsible for producing earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.  

The ocean currents are generated by a factor called thermohaline circulation driven by surface heat and density gradients. Agni represents energy. It is clear that there is energy contained in the oceans responsible for generating ocean currents and other thermal anomalies noted by NASA. The Pacific Ring of Fire also often spews fire into the ocean. A greater number of the volcanoes which are active on Earth are hidden from our view as they are located on the ocean floor. Isn’t it amazing that the Vedic Verses mention about the Badaba Agni in the ocean is also the fire that will destroy our world during Pralaya! The destructive fire which will occur during pralaya is probably the multiple volcanic eruptions triggered by sub-sea volcanoes which would have a catastrophic impact on our planet.

Another interpretation of Agni hidden in water is the latent heat. Latent heat means hidden heat. We know that all matter whether liquid, solids or gases are made of molecules which are in turn made of atoms. When heat is added to a substance, the atoms vibrate and the space between the atoms increases. This increase in space between the atoms alters the state of the substance; i.e, a solid is turned into liquid and a liquid into vapour. Likewise, when the heat is removed from a substance, the space between the atoms decreases and the substance changes into a liquid or a solid.

This hidden energy , latent heat which is found in fluids is the agni. There is agni in water. When we add more agni to the water, it turns into steam and when we remove agni present in water, it tuns into ice. 

Latent heat can be understood as heat energy in a hidden form which is supplied or extracted to change the state of a substance without changing its temperature. The latent heat assosiated with freezing a liquid is known as the heat of fusion. When water transforms into ice, the heat energy which was hidden in water is released. When 1 mol of water at 0°C freezes to ice at 0°C, 6.01 kJ of heat is released into the surroundings and when the same amount of ice transforms to water, 6.01 kJ of heat energy is absorbed by water. See how beautifully Atharvana Veda explains the concept of latent heat, the heat energy hidden in the water!

 

Ghosts Who Listened To The Ramayana

King Virupaksha II (1465–1485 CE) belonged to the Sangama Dynasty of the Vijayanagar Empire. By the time he came to power, there were a number of claimants to the throne. Many of his cousins, formed a coup against him and the king was forced to abandon his throne. Later, Virupaksha gathered his followers who were loyal to him and entered the palace in the dead of the night and killed those who had risen against him while they were sleeping.  He assumed power once again as the King of Vijayanagar Empire but unfortunately, he was still not free from his cousins who had plotted against him. As he had killed them in their sleep, his cousins became ghosts and started to haunt his palace. Forced to endure a ghostly existence by the King, they became poltergeists and started to trouble the King. The King once again abandoned his palace and moved to a newly constructed palace in the city. The apparitions continued to haunt the palace and the neighbourhood around the old palace. 

In the meantime, there were two Sri Vaishnavite Acharyas Ettoor Nrisimhachar and Sriranganathachar who were brothers belonging to the lineage of Sri Peria Thirumalai Nambhi, the maternal uncle of Swami Ramanujacharya. The two acharyas decided to move to Vijayanagar to seek the support of King Virupaksha II for various kaimkaryams. As they were not from Vijayanagar, they didn’t know that the King had moved into a new palace or that the old palace was haunted.  The two acharyas arrived at the gates of the old palace at dusk with a Srimad Ramayana Grantham. The Brahmma Tejas radiating from them forced the ghostly guardians of the palace to allow them into the palace. Unaware of the hidden dangers, the two acharyas walked down the deserted pathway leading up to the main entrance. The setting sun cast long shadows along the pathway while the lamps lighted by the ghostly presence in the palace cast an eerie glow that only enhanced the dark shadows.  The two Acharyas entered the Royal Court and were greeted by the King of the Ghosts and his ghostly courtiers. Normally the apparitions would have harmed anyone who came into the palace but, the Brahmma Tejas emanating from the Acharyas due to the crores of Thirumanthram and Dwaya Manthram they had recited made the phantoms pay obeisance to the Acharyas.

‘You appear to be holy people,’ said the Ghost King. ‘Who are you and why did you come here?’

‘We take roots from  Sri Satamarshana Maharishi in Krutha Yuga and belong to the glorious lineage of Sri Peria Thirumalai Nambhi the maternal uncle of Swami Ramanujacharya. You may have heard that moved by the devotion of our ancestor Sri Peria Thirumalai Nambhi, Lord Srinivasa of the Seven Hills addressed him as “Tatha” i.e father. Swami Ramanujacharya learnt Srimad Ramayana from Sri Peria Thirumalai Nambhi. We have come here with the sacred Grantham and would like permission to lecture your court on this sacred Grantham as taught to Swami Ramanujacharya by Sri Peria Thirumalai Nambhi.’

The ghosts were moved by the speech of the acharyas. The contact with the acharyas made them realise that they have been given a unique opportunity to study this sacred Grantham. 

‘We welcome you to our abode,’ said the Ghost King. ‘You may lecture us on Srimad Ramayana but, must do so only in the evening as we are tied up with many chores during the day.’

And so, every day in the evening the two acharyas visited the Ghostly Court and rendered kalakshepam on Srimad Ramayana. 
The phantoms listened eagerly and their enthusiasm increased with the passing of each day. They looked forward to the arrival of the two acharyas each day and they slowly developed “Rama Bakthi”. The gloomy shadow surrounding the haunted palace was slowly displaced by the light generated by “Rama bakthi”. After many days of kalakshepam, the day of “Rama Pattabhishekam” came.  The acharyas had requested the ghostly court to prepare special offerings to celebrate Sri Rama Pattabhishekam. The moment the acharyas concluded Sri Rama Pattabhishekam, the ghosts led by their king paid obeisance to the acharyas and showered them with gold coins. 

‘We feel truly blessed to have studied Srimad Ramayana under your guidance. Now, it is time for us to be honest with you. I am not King Virupaksha II,’ revealed the King of Ghosts. ‘You mistook us for the living. We are all ghosts forced to endure this ghostly existence because King Virupaksha murdered us while we were sleeping. We felt angry because we had been cursed to exist as ghosts. We became poltergeist and haunted this palace and its neighbourhood until you arrived here. Because of your blessings and because we listened to Srimad Ramayanam, the curse has been lifted and we are finally on our way to heaven. We are leaving for heavenly abodes now and will not be seen in this palace anymore. We have been freed from our curse because of your grace and hence, we are forever indebted to you!’

The phantoms after paying their obeisance left the palace and were freed from their ghostly existence. News of this incredible event reached the ears of King Virupaksha II who rushed to the old palace to greet the two acharyas.  King Virupaksha II was a Veera Saivaite who like Kulathonga Chola had been hard on all Vaishnavas. King Virupaksha II had promised to give his daughter Padmavati in marriage to King Purushottama Dasa of Orissa but had changed his mind when he learnt that King Purushottama Dasa swept the chariot of Lord Jagannatha during the famous Rath Yatra. Now, King Virupaksha II who had hated Vaishnavites realised the greatness of Lord Rama and requested to be accepted into the Sri Vaishnavite fold.

Such is the power of Srimad Ramayana which destroys the sins of those who read/listen to this sacred Grantham with devotion. The ghosts were indeed blessed that they had obtained the opportunity to study this sacred Grantham under the guidance of prominent acharyas belonging to the lineage of Sri Peria Thirumalai Nambhi! Acharyas from this great lineage adorned the court of later Vijayanagar Kings and they were popularly called as Tathachars. The empire flourished under the guidance of these devoted acharyas. It is very sad to see that in the Sab TV show Tenali Rama, the conniving and greedy Raja Guru is named as Tathachar. This show is a brilliant production which promotes one’s love for this great empire and the greatest of monarchs, Sri Krishnadeva Raya but,  the only regret is that they have named the scheming and greedy Raja Guru as Tathachar. There is actually no need to name the Raja Guru. The Kotwal and his wife have no names on the show and are addressed by their title as Kotwal and Kotwalan. The producers should have followed the same rule and should have addressed Raja Guru by his title and not as “Tathachar”. In fact, the main Raja Guru of King Krishnadevaraya was the great saint Vyasatirtha (c. 1460–c. 1539) belonging to the order of Sri Madhwacharya. The stories of Tenali Rama were popularised as the persistent feud between Tenali Rama and the Raja Guru but, in reality, it must have been a competition between Tenali Rama and some other poet/courtier as the real Raja Guru Sri Vyasatirtha was not capable of such jealous acts. Sri Vyasatirtha was a great acharya and a great devotee of Lord Krishna who was also politically responsible for the development of irrigation systems in many villages.

The famous Tathachar of Vijayanagar Empire was Lakshmi Kumara Thathachariar or Sri Lakshmi Kumara Thatha Desikan ((1571–1643). As seen above, Sri Lakshmi Kumara Thathachariar of Sri Satamarshana Gothram hailed from the holy lineage of Sri Peria Thirumalai Nambhi. This famous acharya also traces his origin from the most celebrated Sri Vaishnava Acharya Sri Swami Vedanta Desikan. He advised Venkatapathi Raya. His father/grandfather probably advised King Krishnadeva Raya who reigned from 1509 to 1529, Sri Achyuta Deva Raya who reigned from 1529–1542 CE and Sri Aliya Rama Raya who reigned from 1542. 

Sri Lakshmi Kumara Thathachariar held the twin post of Raja Guru and Chief Minister of the State. He travelled all over India for the sole purpose of teaching people who belonged to various cadres of society. He has been praised by other great philosophers like Sri Appaya Dikshitar.
Sri Tatha Desikan was a great devotee of Lord Rama. Once, he was travelling with the wealth he had received as a prize from various kings. He was taking his winnings to offer to Lord Varadaraja Perumal of Kanchipuram. He arrived at the outskirts of Kanchi at night and decided to rest with his disciples till daybreak. Unknown to them, a band of robbers who had been following them started to rob them while they slept but, a group of monkeys arrived at the spot and chased the robbers away! They not only chased them but guarded the treasure till daybreak! Thus, the wealth which was meant as offering to Sri Varadaraja Perumal was saved from plunder.  While the monkeys were chasing the robbers, Sri Tatha Desikan had the darshan of Lord Hanuman in his dream who showed him the entire happenings!  Sri Tatha Desikan on waking up found the unconscious robbers and the monkeys who were guarding the treasure! Overwhelmed with joy and devotion, Sri Tatha Desikan used a portion of the funds to construct a temple for Lord Rama, Sita Piratti, Lord Lakshmana and Lord Hanuman. The Lakshmi Saras at Kumbakkonam was built by him for Goddess Komalavalli and this lake is now popularly called as Tatha Samudram.  Sri Krishnadeva Raya made him the "Manager-General" known as "Sri Karya Thurantharar" of all the Divya Desam Temples existing in their Empire.  

This devoted Acharya was also a humanitarian who established many feeding halls were the poor were fed regularly for free. He also established the so-called "Desanthri Kattalai" the "Order to serve Travelers" in various Temples to feed the devotees visiting those temples daily. He was also awarded the Honorary Title "Koti Kannikadhana" because he literally sponsored the wedding of a koti needy couple. 

There is a six feet idol of Sri Lakshmi Kumara Thathachariar along with His consort Sri Kamala Ammangar paying obeisance to Sri Swami Vedanta Desikan in the temple of Sri Varadaraja Perumal in Kanchipuram. It is still customary for Sri Varadaraja Perumal to offer respects to these acharyas by giving satari, teertham and sacred garland before proceeding on processions.

Such is the greatness of this acharya that it is very sad to see his name being sullied in the Tenali Rama TV show. As ardent followers of Swami Ramanuja and Sri Swami Vedanta Desikan, it is our duty to bring the greatness of this acharya to light.  Sri Lakshmi Kumara Thathachariar is considered to be an incarnation who was nursed by Goddess Komalavalli and was the recipient of the kataksham of Peria Piratti who always protected him. It is my humble request to all Sri Vaishnavas to spread the greatness of Sri Lakshmi Kumara Thathachariar, known as  Acharya Mahanubhavan so that people do not think ill of him due to the portrayal of the fictitious Tathachar in Tenali Rama TV Serial.

KUBERA HOMAM FOR WEALTH?

YUGA DHARMA:
Our Puranas divide the duration of mankind on Earth into four Yugas; Satya Yuga which equals 1,728,000 Human years, Treta Yuga equals 1,296,000 Human years, Dvapara Yuga equals 864,000 Human years and Kali Yuga equals 432,000 Human years. The Yugas gradually undergo a reduction in dharma and likewise, mankind over the yugas undergo a decline in their dharmic values, wisdom, knowledge, lifespan and physical strength. The prescribed mode of worship is hence different for each yuga. The recommended form of worship for each yuga takes into account the ability of the people. In Satya Yuga, the Golden Age, the mode of worship is rigorous penance (tapas). The people of this age had the longest lifespan and could undertake tapas for thousands of years at a time. The next yuga, the Treta Yuga saw a reduction in dharmic values by 25% and the capacity of people too declined by 25%. During Treta Yuga, people worshipped Perumal by performing great yagnams like Ashwamedha, and Vajapeya yagams. The advent of Dwapara Yuga once again saw a reduction in dharmic values and the capacity of people deteriorated by another 25% and therefore the recommended mode of worship for people of the Dwapara Yuga was through archana. We are now in the last Yuga called Kali Yuga. Figuratively, we are balancing on just one leg as we have seen a reduction in dharmic values and our abilities by 75%. We can neither perform tapas nor perform yagnams. We can’t even perform archanas with focus as we have many things like a cell phone which distract us easily and hence the recommended mode of worship for us is the very simple but effective “Hari Nama Sankeerthanam”.

In Kali Yuga though our abilities has declined by 75%, our greed and materialistic attitudes has increased by 100%. Our wants are more and we want to fulfil our desires quickly and instantly. The people of this Yuga do not have the patience to work hard to earn good results. We want instant gratifications and this mental attitude drives people to perform yagams as the means to achieve their ends. One such homam is the “Kubera Homam”. Is it right to perform such homams? We will examine some details in this series.

THE BOY, THE FISH & THE PIG – A LESSON IN IMPARTIALITY

For the convenience of the readers, names have been assigned. The original story is narrated without any names. This week in one of the upanyasam I heard the following story which made me look at all life with love and compassion.

**********************************************************************************

Bhutatman was a young boy. He studied at a gurukulam along with his friends. His tuition was free. His guru not only taught them for free but, also provided them with free room and board.  The students helped their guru with everyday chores as a token of their gratitude.

One day, the guru assigned the task of washing clothes to Bhutatman. The young lad took the laundry basket and hurried towards a nearby stream. The water gurgled as it jumped across rocks in the stream. There were many varieties of fish which rushed back and forth playfully. Bhutatman jumped into the stream disturbing the fish. His guru had asked him to be careful while washing clothes in a stream. ‘We must never disturb or hurt other life,’ his guru had said. ‘Treat all life as you would treat yourself.'

‘They are just fish!’ thought Bhutatman. He didn’t understand why a lowly creature like fish must also be treated with respect. The boy thrashed around in the stream and started the wash the clothes. As he immersed the clothes in the water, some fish got trapped inside the folds of the clothes but, Bhutatman without paying any attention to the little fish, folded the cloth with the fish inside and squeezed the water from the clothes. The tiny fish trapped inside the clothes were mangled and killed. Tiny droplets of blood from the fish stained the pure white clothes washed by Bhutatman. The lad threw the washed clothes inside the basket and returned home.

‘Bhutatman, have you washed all the clothes? So quickly?’ Querried his guru. ‘Bring the basket over here. I will hang the clothes on the clothesline to dry.’ The guru picked a cloth from the basket and shook it in the air to straighten the folds and remove any water droplets left in the clothes. As he shook the clothes, dead fish fell down on the ground. ‘What is this!’ exclaimed the guru ‘How did these fish come here?’ The guru was horrified to see tiny drops of fish blood on the clothes.

‘Bhutatman!’ called the guru. ‘How did these fish die? I had told you to treat all life with respect and is this how you show respect?’

Bhutatman sulked. He didn’t understand his guru’s emotions. ‘They are just fish!’ thought the boy. ‘Tiny , worthless fish. What does it matter if they live or die!’ But, he didn’t dare to tell what he thought to his guru. ‘I don’t know how they died,’ answered the boy. ‘They must have got trapped in the folds while I was washing the clothes.’

‘Didn’t you even notice them? So careless!’ The guru was able to read Bhutatman’s thoughts. He felt angry and also sad to think that one of his disciples didn’t understand the value of life. ‘Your parents have named you Bhutaman, didn’t they explain the meaning of this name to you?’

The boy sulked and looked rebellious. 

‘As your guru, it is my duty to teach you the value of life. You have failed to treat all life equally. Very soon, may you take birth as a pig!’ cursed the guru. He gathered the clothes and returned to the stream to wash them.

Bhutatman looked horrified. There were tears in his eyes. He felt abashed and at the same time was also worried that his next birth would be that of a pig. His classmates gathered around Bhutatman to console him.

‘Did you hear how our guru cursed me?’ he asked with tears in his eyes. ‘I have to take birth as  a lowly pig!’

His classmates didn’t know how to console him. Taking birth as a pig didn’t appear to be a good prospect.

‘Pigs roll around in slime! They are nature’s scavengers and eat filth!’ cried the boy.

‘How can we help you?’ Asked Mangala. ‘If there is any way, we will definitely do our best to help you.’

‘Our guru cursed that very soon I should take birth as a pig. That means I have to die soon…’

‘Don’t say such things!’ exclaimed his friend Sudama.

‘But it’s true,’ sobbed Bhutatman. ‘How can anyone take rebirth without dying first. After I die, wait for a good opportunity when our guru is in a good mood. At that time, please find out my whereabouts from him.’

‘Do you want us to bring you here as our pet?’ asked Mangala. 

‘No, no,’ said Bhutaman. ‘As soon as you find my location, please come and find me. Bring heavy clubs with you and as soon as you see me, club me to death.’

‘But, that’s a sin!’

‘It’s not a sin if you free me from a lowly birth! Please promise me that you will kill me. What kind of a life will I have as a pig! If you kill me as soon as I take birth, I will get my freedom and could get a good life as a human being again.’

His classmates promised to help him. ‘Don’t worry, ‘ they assured him. ‘We will make sure you don’t live a long life as a pig.’

A few days later the boy succumbed to the curse and died. The classmates grieved for their friend. They wondered how long it will take for him to take birth as a pig. They found some heavy clubs and kept it ready to fulfil their promise. 

The classmates waited for an opportune moment. They didn't have to wait very long. One day, they found their guru in a jovial mood and they seized the opportunity and asked their guru about the fate of their friend.

'Your friend,' said the guru, ‘has taken birth in the next village as a pig. If you walk towards the outskirt of that village, you will come across a slum. In that slum lives a large sow with her twenty new-born piglets. Your friend is the twelfth piglet. He can be easily recognized as he is the only one who is white with a black tail and a  black left ear. '

Having ascertained all the details about their friend, the disciples grabbed hold of heavy clubs and started towards the birthplace of their friend.  They found the slum easily. ‘Disgusting!’ they cried.

 ‘Dirty, narrow paths!’ they grumbled as they trudged along the slushy path. Soon, they located the sow slushing around in a puddle with her twenty piglets. They found their friend, the only one with a black ear and a black tail playing with another piglet. The disciples raised their clubs and rushed towards the tiny piglet. They had to release their friend from this hellish existence so that he can get a better life. 

The tiny pig saw his former friends rushing towards him with clubs in their hands. At that moment, the piglet by the grace of the Vedic verses he had studied in his past life was not only able to recall his past life but was also able to speak with his former classmates.

The classmates stopped when the little pig yelled 'stop! Don't kill me!'

'It is for your own good,' they argued.

'I know I requested you to find and kill me but, at that time I thought that it will be a hellish experience to live as a pig but, look at me ' he pleaded.  'You see slime and filth but I see warmth and love. My mother dotes on me and she licks me with love. Look at my siblings, they all love me and we play tag and have lots of fun. I thought our guru had cursed me but he has only blessed me because I had never experienced such love and affection. Leave me alone. Let me enjoy the company of my family till the time allotted to me.'

Surprised by their friend's speech, the disciples left the little pig unhurt in his new home. The moment they entered their school, their guru welcomed them.

‘I know where you have been. If you had asked me, I could have saved you a trip. Now, did you learn the value of life? Every creature finds happiness in its existence and it is not right to discriminate against them just because they are not human beings like us.’

Author’s Note:

I chose the name of the boy as Bhutatman to remind everyone about God who exists within all beings as their inner soul. Bhutatman is the eighth name in the Sri Vishnusahasranamam. Perumal is called as Bhutatman because He exists as the inner-controller within all beings. As the inner controller, He supports all beings. He also controls them. Just like our soul controls our body and supports it from within, Lord Narayana resides in all souls and supports and controls them. One who realizes Lord Narayana as the “antaryami” of all souls will not discriminate against any creature and will treat every being with love.

In this society, people fight over differences. The differences we see are in the body we have attained in this birth but, internally all souls look the same and are equal to one another in every way.

As per our past karmas, we take birth as men and women while some as animals, plants , birds and even insects. Through this story we know that the dog or cat we see on our daily walk may have been human like us in its pastlife. Whatever karma it accumulated in its past existence has given it the life of an animal. The animals, birds and plants we see around us are not different from us. We are all the same on the inside. The form we take is just like a dress. It is silly to hate someone because of the dress they are wearing. We should love all and be compassionate. The intent of this story is to promote real world peace and promote love for all beings. 

the Lord of the Universe, Krishna exists as antaryami in each and every one of our hearts even if we are sinners. He loves us and never abandons us. He has accompanied us on every one of our births. He stays with us as antaryami and witnesses our acts waiting patiently for that moment when we may turn to Him for help. This is indicated by the following verse (11.11.6) in Srimadh Bagawatham.

suparnav etau sadrisau sakhayau

yadricchayaitau krita-nidau ca vrikshe

ekas tayoh khadati pippalannam

anyo niranno 'pi balena bhuyan

There are two birds that have made a nest on a

tree. One bird eats the fruits present on the tree

and grows weaker while the bird which does not

eat the fruits stays stronger.

The above verse also indicates that the two birds are friends. The tree is our body. The bird which eats the fruit is the jeevatma and the fruit itself arises due to our karma. The other bird is Paramatma. He patiently waits near His friend the jeevatma waiting for him to get tired of eating the fruits and turn to Paramatma with the desire to go back to Him. Lord Krishna is the true friend of the jeevatma and accompanies the jeevatma in every one of its births even if the jeevatma takes birth as an insect. The word “balena” in the above verse shows that Perumal remains unaffected even when He accompanies us and stays within us as our antaryami. His qualities and potencies remain unaffected.

People fight over their religious faiths. Many mistakenly believe that only people of certain faith attain salvation while all others go to hell. This is not true. Salvation is available to every being including plants and animals. The cycles of births we take as different beings is a learning program; we pass the course when we learn to treat all life equally with love. Discrimination and hate towards other beings including humans, animals and plants keeps us tied to this Universe while love for all creatures frees us from this Universe.

If you like this post, please share and spread the message of love and peace.

SOLUTION TO KNIGHT'S TOUR PROBLEM FROM SRI RANGANATHA PADHUKA SAHASRAM

Solution to the knight's tour problem in the Sri Ranganatha Padhuka Sahasram composed by Sri Swami Vedanta Desikan around 700 years ago!

Swami Vedanta Desikan has given the solution in the 13th century whereas, the solution was given for the first time in the Western Hemisphere by Leonhard Euler only in the late 18th century i.e, 500 to 600 years after Swami Desikan had given the key to solving this mathematical problem!
