Chapter – 6 – Sri Vinaya Patrika – Prayer
to Lord Mahadeva to remove grief and ignorance
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “I shall
meditate upon the supreme Lord Mahadeva who symbolizes auspiciousness and
prosperity, he is the provider of devotion, welfare, and happiness to his
worshiper, bliss to saintly men and ascetics, he is the beloved consort of
Himachalakanya Devi Parvathi has a charming appearance, beautiful eyes that resemble
to lotus flower petals, destroyed the pride of Kamadeva. His body has the luster of Kundhendhupushpa, Shankha, and camphor, and has the rich fragrance of sacred
ashes, he has a stunning appearance and he is Sacchidhanandha Swaroopa Paramathma.
His lotus feet are worshiped by Siddha, Sanaka, Sanandhan, Sanathan,
Sanathkumara, Yogiraj, Devatha, Vishnu, and Bhrama. I shall prostrate before
supreme Lord Shiva who is fond of twice-born who sincerely follow the Varnna
and Ashrama Dharma. He is easily attainable to the pious and noble-souls, and
extremely difficult for the wicked people. His appearance is Vikaral/unique, he
is all-pervasive, he is beyond Veda, Shastra, Purana, and Ithihasa. He is the
storehouse of mercy, he is adorned in serpents as ornaments, sacred river Ganga
on matted hair locks, he is pure and free from impurities of Kama, Krodha,
Lobha, Moha, Madha, and Mathshcharya, he is dispassionate and beyond Triguna.
He is the Lord of the Universe, he is the destroyer of sins and illnesses, he is
Trishuladhari who is the destroyer of Maha Moha Andhakara, like the Surya
spread its radiance to remove the darkness. He is Mahakala who is the Lord of
Kala, he is beyond time and death, he is immortal, he protects the Jeeva from
the vicious cycles of repeated births. He resembles colossal fire that destroys
the dense wood like the evil effects of the Kali era. I shall surrender at the lotus
feet of supreme Lord Mahadeva who represent Sage Agasthya, Sarvantharyami/resides
as a soul in the Jeeva, symbolizes auspiciousness and kindness, destroys the
repeated births of the Jeeva who have taken shelter at his lotus feet and
provider of perpetual happiness to them.”
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj continues “The supreme
Lord Mahadeva is the provider of all kinds of auspiciousness to his devotees,
hence I adore the dust from his lotus feet, he is Kamadhenu who fulfills all the
desires of the worshiper. He has a lustrous body that resembles Karpoora, he is
benevolent and symbolizes ‘Athman’ in the Anathmaroopi Samsara, he is adorned the
King of serpent Vasuki as garland. He is the abode of eternal bliss, welfare, and happiness. He is mighty Lord and his glories are beyond description. He is
beyond Triguna/Sathvik, Rajasik, and Thamasik, he is the storehouse of virtues,
he is invisible, eternal, pure, Sacchidhanandhaswaroopa Paramathma Parmbhramam
resides as a soul in the Jeeva. He has Surya, Chandra, and Agni as three eyes, He
is Maheshwara who has won over the Kamadeva. He is the destroyer of pride in
the body and material matters like the dense wood of darkness in the Jeeva,
like the Udhayasurya/sunlight in the early hours of dawn. He has adorned the
crescent moon on the matted hair locks that spread intense radiance on the
forehead. He is the Lord of Gana, destroys the grief of three worlds. He is
Lord of Kashi/Kashinath is extremely compassionate to Jeeva who is unfortunate
has no line of auspiciousness on his forehead would achieve Paramagathi with
the grace of that supreme Lord in Kashi. There is no deity compassionate and
kind as Lord Shiva, he is Karunanidhan who swallowed the toxic poison watching
the deities and demons were tormented by the heat of deadly poison emitted
while churning the ocean. The Athmajjana/knowledge of self’/ Paramatha
Thaththva is impossible to achieve without the grace of supreme Lord Mahadeva,
even if you achieve to perform various Yoga and Yaga for several Kalpa. Oh!
Parvathi Ramana, you are the only one who can remove the fear and anxieties in
me.” Sri Tulsidas Maharaj says, Lord Mahadeva, Parvathi Ramana is the abode of
Gnana Vijjana.
