V2-GOD ALMIGHTY OF THE UNIVERSE –HIS THREE PRIMARY FORMS

 

By  PRAGYANSHARMA POLAVARAPU (Vrs.Somanchi)

 (1) Now let us turn to the most beautiful and poetic part of ancient Hindu philosophy. The great god almighty of the universe ruling over the universe —of billions of galaxies containing billions of suns and billions of planets— is called in Hindu philosophy as Lord Vishnu( the great administrator). He is  also is seen in two other forms known in Hindu philosophy by the names  Lord  Brahma( the  great creator) and Lord Shiva( the great destroyer). As everybody and even a child can imagine,  god almighty has unlimited mystic powers which we can not understand and comprehend. He can exist in any form he likes and can also appear in more than one form at the same time.  These three great gods live in their majestic individual high heavens.

(2) Lord Vishnu is the grand administrator of the Universe and takes up the duties of protecting the universe immediately after it is created by Lord Brahma. He lives in invisible gold and crystal palaces in the clouds amid all pleasures. But he is most kind and loving and always comes to the rescue of poorest and weakest people and considers it his privilege to serve poor helpless people. This is one of the three sublime forms.


 On a signal from Lord Vishnu, the entire universe is created by Lord Brahma. Lord Vishnu takes over and rules over the universe for a thousand billion years in a most loving way like the kindest father. Not a single good person is left unrewarded and not a single bad person is left unpunished. Lord Vishnu also periodically incarnates himself on planet earth as a divine human being of titanic strength to kill the wickedest villains and establish high virtue and high morality.

(3) Lord Brahma completes the entire creation process –creation of not only all living beings and nonliving things from the minutest to the most colossal— in a second. He then puts the “Divine Soul” in every living being. His majestic heaven is full of holy spirituality, holy learning and holy philosophy. After the creation process is completed he retires to his high heaven of learning and wisdom and spirituality and rules there for a thousand billion years.

(4) In due course, millions of years and thousands of billions of years of time passes by. All the energy, the “e=m(c squared) energy”, of the existing universe slowly gets exhausted. At this stage Lord Vishnu signals to Lord Shiva to act.  The old crumbling universe is destroyed in a jiffy without sound and without trace by Lord Shiva the third form of almighty of universe. After that the great Lord Shiva too retires to his separate invisible heaven in the wildest and coldest Himalayan heights for a thousand billions years.There he is immersed in spiritual meditation and is surrounded by great sages and other gods .

 He too like Lord Vishnu is extremely kind and loving and gives to people whatever they ask. He is said to be so kind that sometimes by mistake he helps also some wrong persons and falls into their traps. Lord Vishnu has to assist Lord Shiva to come out of these traps and requests him not to fall into such traps again! Lord Shiva is not interested in worldly pleasures and comforts. He prefers to live amidst most beautiful wild nature spots like mountains, seas, rivers and forests. He is viewed like a youthful handsome sage and like a beautiful forest hunter ever in deep meditation thinking about the deep mysteries of the universe.

(5)The queens of the three great gods are as dazzling and powerful as the great gods themselves. “Goddess Laxmi” (queen of Lord Vishnu) is source of all Wealth of universe. But if any poor weak human being prays to her she gives limitless wealth to him in an instant as if that person who prayed is her own son.   Goddess “Saraswathi” (queen of Lord Brahma) is seen as a most delicate, scholarly and art-conscious goddess and the very incarnation of education, music and all fine arts. Her heaven is considered the most beautiful spot in the universe. Goddess “Parvathi” is the queen of Lord Shiva. Though Lord Shiva lives like a hermit , the great goddess Parvathi lives in all luxury in invisible golden palaces in the recesses of  Himalayan mountains .  She is considered as the incarnation of all the “Energy” of the universe, the “E=m(c  squared)energy” .

All the three goddesses are treated as forms of the same Mother of the Universe.

G5-MYTHOLOGY--STORY OF A WICKED KING-2

G5-MYTHOLOGY--STORY  OF A WICKED KING-2 By PragyanSharma Polavarapu Then a most wonderful thing happened . With unbearable and frightening thundering sounds the pillar broke vertically and out came a most frightening form jumping out of the pillar. It had a shining body drenching entire area in dazzling light. It had a heavy human body and a frightening angry head of a lion with wide open mouth and started roaring violently as if hungry . It searched for the frightened and shivering king and caught hold of him. It was far bigger than the dazed king who himself was of heavy build. It dragged the frightened king to the high threshold and with wild angry roars sat on the threshold, tore open the stomach of the king and started drinking the king's blood ! It was a most fearful sight! Even the gods who appeared there were too frightened to go near this angry lion form of Lord Vishnu.  The boy too was frightened but gained his composure and sang hymns to the god. The angry lion- g...

G10-THE TEMPLE AT PATHAGUTTA-2

THE   ANCIENT   ORIGINAL  LORD NARASIMHA   TEMPLE    By PragyanSharma Polavarapu   As mentioned earlier the area of Pathagutta temple is a vast stony surface formed by a series of big horizontally-lying boulders buried deep in the ground. Each boulder may perhaps be fifty meters long and only a little less wide! At some places two or three small room-size boulders are stacked one above the other by nature. Seeing the stacked boulders every person wonders how such gigantic stones were lifted at all. No humans can lift them. Simple rural people feel that it is nothing but one of god's great visible miracles. They feel that if they similarly arrange a little stack of stones one above another somewhere on the stony ground they surely would get god's grace. We can see scores of such tiny stone-stacks created with much devotion by devotees on the stony ground in isolated areas. Large numbers of people worship at pathagutta temple daily. Th...

G7-BOULDER RIDDEN HILLS-2

  BOULDER RIDDEN HILLS-2 By PragyanSharma Polavarapu A LITTLE OF GEOLOGY  There are some gigantic bald hills (not boulders but entire hills)- --Bhongir hill, Yadadri hill,Hanamkonda "Ekasila" hill (Warangal district) etc. Let us learn how the bald hills i.e. single stone dome hills of colossal size are formed. Scientists say that such hills are among the oldest hill types in the world and were created hundreds of millions of years ago. Scientists say that age of earth may be around 4500 million years i.e. 450 crore years! At that early time, the outer stone layers of earth (crust layers) were very soft like wheat flour dough but extremely hot. Scientists say that lying under this soft bending “plastic” outer stone layer --( extending for thousands of square miles in area on earth’s surface at that time)--- ,there was another extremely hard stone mass which did not soften and bend. This underlying hard stone mass pushed up the soft outer layers .This was a very slow proce...
