Chapter – 10 – Sri Vinaya Patrika – Prayer
to Devi Yamuna and Kashi Sthuthi/The glorious abode of Lord Vishwanatha
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “The more and
more watercourses of Yamuna move forward, the Punyaroopi warriors set forward
to fight against the Kaliyugaroopi King of evilness. During the seasons of
heavy downpour, the Punyaroopi waters of Yamuna gushes towards the emissaries
of Yama and taint their face with her black colors of waters, so that they
refrain from the mission to torture the Jeeva, these emissaries get scared of the
Punyaroopi waters and set back footed and gets puzzled whom to take to the abode
of Yama? Oh! Devi, your dark-colored waters of Punyaroopi resemble the heavy
clouds, are highly powerful to burn down Samsararoopi Papa.”
Kashi Sthuthi –
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “In this Kali
era, the Kashiroopi Kamadhenu should be served sincerely, with intense devotion
and faith. It is the treasure house of auspiciousness, it removes the Santhapa/afflictions,
Papa/sins, Shoka/grief, and all kinds of ailments. This is one of the sacred lands that hold the foot prints of Kamadhenu, and it is the most beautiful land worshiped by
the deities and celestials, all those Theerththa surrounded by the Kashi
represents auspicious limbs, and indestructible Linga represents the bodily
hairs of Kamadhenu. The center point of the Kashi is considered as the throne of Kamadhenu,
the Arththa, Dharma, Kama, and Moksha/Purusharththa are the bosom of Kamadhenu.
The noble-souls, Mahatmas who sincerely follow Veda and Shashthra are the
calves of the sacred Kamadhenu. The devoted and noble souls who live on this
sacred land achieves the Mukthiroopi Amriththaththva milk of the Kamadhenu. The
beautiful rivers Varuna and Asi enhances the beauty of this land, the
Dhandadhari Bhairava is the protector of this land resemble the horn of the
Kamadhenu, and it terrifies the sinners with its horn. The Lolark Kund and
Thrilochan Theerth are the two eyes of the Kamadhenu, the Karnnaghanda river is
the bell decked around the neck of the Kamadhenuroopi Kashi, the Manikarnnika
Theertha resembles the lustrous face of Kamadhenu and has the appearance of the full
moon, the sacred river Ganga removes the Thapa/miseries and Papa/sins of the
virtuous. The Panchakosha Parikrama/circumambulation of this sacred land
resemble Kamadhenu which provides Bhoga, Moksha, and Paripoornna Sukha to the
noble souls, the sacred land has endless splendor which is beyond words, the
supreme Lord Shivanatha who is an ocean of mercy, protects the Kamadhenu like the
sacred land Kashi, and Goddess Parvathi, Jagathjannani, Paramba Bhagavathi affectionately
takes care of this Kamadhenu like sacred land Kashi and its creatures. The
Ashtasidhdhi, Devi Saraswathi, Devi Indrani, Devi Shachi, and all the female
deities worship the Kamadhenuroopi Kashi. The Jagathjanani Poshanakarini
Goddess Mahalakshmi represents the Kamadhenuroopi Kashi. The sacred Panchakshara
‘Om Nama: Shivaya” is the Panchaprana of this divine Kamadhenu. Bhagavan
Bindumadhav represents the bliss of this Kamadhenu. Panchanadhi Panchaganga is
the Panchagavya received from the Kamadhenu. The two sacred syllable ‘Ra’ and ‘Ma’
are the source of initiation of Universe and its living and non-living things,
the presiding deity of ‘Rakara’ and ‘Makara’ is Lord Bhrama/creator and the
Jeeva. The Jeeva graze on the Sukarmaroopa and Kukarmaroopi grass on this land achieves the Paramapadharoopi milk which is the sole object of the Viraktha
Mahathagana. The scriptures affirm that the supreme Lord Vishnu implanted all
his skills to create a magnificent abode for Lord Shiva on the Earth.” Oh!
Tulsidas, if you want to be free from the miseries and sorrows of worldly
existence, body and I consciousness, impurities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha,
Madha and Mathshcharya, then take shelter in the sacred land Kashi and recite
the sacred Ramanama.
