Today we'll be starting Sarvah Mangala Sthothram.  As we are now  this is one of the third stotras every evening wherever there are devotees of Sri Ramakrishna They will be singing this. We all know the origin why this was really kept as one of the part of the third Stotra. Sri Ramakrishna worshipped holy mother as Tripura sundari and then at the end of the puja He hymned these three slokas. And they are taken from a book called Markandeya Purana, part of the markandeya purana is this what is called Durga Saptasati,  SRI SRI Chandi, Devi mahatmya. This  book is also called a mantra Sastra.  We can recite it as a devotional expression, but we can also if we have any desires one has to do special sankalpa, And then also it can be chanted. It is highly regarded as a great mantra shastra. And in line with great Classics like Sowntharya lahare Etc.

So because Sri Ram Krishna had sung, and when Avatara comes 4 things happen, we said first thing is his name becomes a mantra,  His Form becomes second thing an object of adoration and contemplation; and his life and teachings become the inspiration and guidance and a  Society Springs after him to propagate, to preserve and propagate his life and teachings so that they won’t to get degenerated. Then in the fourth this Samaja, how do they really propagate? One of the things is to worship the deity and to repeat the Mantram and to follow his teachings and part of that. Is this Aaratrikam? And so even though these three slokas, Occur in the Devi saptha sathi, They have been taken because Sri Rama Krishna had worshipped Holy mother. Also, when holy mother came to Bangalore, she used to go and enjoy the evening site at that rock now. So one day Swami Ramakrishnanandaji, who arranged for her whole Trip  in the South, He came to know that mother was sitting, he exclaimed “ Oh mother has become a parvatha vasini. Dweller of the parvatha – Parvati.  So  he was a bulky person. In  those days, this smooth Road was not there. He had to  yet to climb a  little bit. Now  It has been leveled and all that.

So by the time he reached her he was really literally heavy with breath and he knelt down and he hymned Divine mother with this. So we consider holy mother has Sarva Deva Devi Swaroopinyay”. And there are several instances also and the first Durga Pooja had occurred it the Divine mother herself has inspired Swami Vivekananda and swami Brahmanandaji indicating that is also she did not appear as Durga. She appeared just before the Durga Pooja as Kali.  Mother Kali was coming from the Dhakshineswar to Belur Math, a few days before Durga Pooja indicating That I am “Durga” etc.  and  there are so many incidents related with Sri Ramakrishna  and Durga Pooja. One of them was, as we know, Mathur Babu  was celebrating (Durga Pooja ) every year. One  year

Sri Ramakrishna  was with him and  he did not want the image to be immersed.

Then, Jagadamba Dashi came running to Sri Ramakrishna, Mathur Babu is not allowing and he said if anybody does it without my permission, I will chop off his head. Then Sri Ram Krishna came and said Why are you obstructing it? After all these days the mother was sitting outside and accepting your Pooja. From now, she will be accepting from your heart and he touched. We presume he must have got a vision of the mother, Divine mother.  He was a  mother's devotee Kali & Durga are One and the same.  So then he said let us let us do the Visarjana. Then  once Hriday wanted to celebrate Durga Pooja. He requested his mama you come and stay here. Sri Ramakrishna  said he won't be able to come because Mathur Babu is there; he won't allow me. But every evening at the time of the Arathi  I will come there in a subtle form and you alone will see me. And  every day Hriday has seen Sri Ramakrishna  standing by the side and then doing this one. 

Another  time Mathur Babu was performing. Sri Ramakrishna was in ecstasy and Jagadamba Dashi wanted to witness the Aaratrikam and she could not leave Sri Ramakrishna alone because few days before this he fell down on the burning charcoal and his whole back got completely burnt. Big charcoal had gone inside, Live  charcoal. So she did not want To take the risk. What did she do? She dressed him completely in a woman's dress and all jewelry She put on Sri Ramakrishna  and he entered into a state of ecstasy, Means Oneness with Mother Durga slowly shielded him. He was standing in the woman's line and Mathur Babu  just opposite and he was looking and looking and seeing who is this lady? He could never understand it was Sri Ramakrishna. It was so thoroughly complete. He was a great actor, you know, he becomes identified. Already You have to remember during the practice of mathura bhAva he had become completely one with with the idea of woman and they say that even like women he had this monthly cycles also. So he used to be completely identified. whatever was his mood.  Whether if it is Krishna and he  becomes Krishna if it is Rama, he  becomes Rama, if it is Kali  He becomes Kali.  

Shyampukur  as Ramakrishna said one day in this Kali Pooja there are two Kali Pujas. One  was in the main which is called Palaharini and one which comes  now after the Durga Puja.  So exactly in the next Amawashya (new moon day)  it will come. During  that time, Sri Ramakrishna  indicated. let us celebrate Kali Puja. And simple Arrangements flowers, sandal paste and nothing much. Then  he was sitting. Devotees  were waiting either he will do the Pooja or he will ask somebody. He  was not telling anything and then  suddenly Girish Chandra Ghosh, he got this inspiration. He thought  that Takur is Mother Kali that's why he was not telling anything.  So he took a handful of flowers Jai Kali like that he offered Sri Ramakrishna went into that ecstatic State indicating God is this one.

So  Sri Ramakrishna  is Sarva deva devi swaRupa holy mother is Sarva deva Devi swaRupini. There  is no Difference between them or any other god or goddess because there can be only one God and no more. So that is the reason why we have to adore holy mother. There is another very important reason why we have to adore holy mother. How does the grace of Sri Ramakrishna descend upon us? Ramakrishna karuna rupini Sri Ramakrishna's karuna has taken the form of holy mother and that's why he said I am leaving you behind you have to distribute whatever I have earned.   You have to highlight in motherhood of divine motherhood of God 09:41:8 motherhood of God. So that is how we have to worship. She is the Narayani. She is the parvathi.  She  is Kali. She is everything for us. So, that is why this particular three slokas. In the Chandy There are four beautiful hymns it It comes in the first brahmas hymn to the Divine mother in order to awaken Lord visnu who was under the spell of mahamaya’s  nidra. Second  hymn comes Chakrathi stuthy in the fourth. Then one hymn comes when before mahishasura mardhini in the fifth. Then  in the 11th, which is called Narayana stuthi. In  that versus a 10, 11, 12 th  are  these Sarva Mangala Mangalye,  srishti sthithi,  saranagata , dheenartha Pari thrana parayane.  So this one.  And  the fourth hymn that we will deal later on is  prakruthim paramam composed by Swami Abedhanandaji.  Now. We will take up the Sarva  mangla mangalye. 

As  I said, we have to keep it in. In mind this whole Chandy is not only a bakthi sastra. It is also reputed to be a mantra shastra one simple example. I will give you you.  Yaa Devi Sarva-Bhutessu Nidra-Ruupenna Samsthitaa. Kshudha Ruupenna Samsthitaa, vrithi Ruupenna Samsthitaa, thushti Ruupenna Samsthitaa, Dhaya Ruupenna Samsthitaa, vidhya Ruupenna Samsthitaa,  Brandthi Ruupenna Samsthitaa ,….

Yaa Devi Sarva-Bhutessu Buddhi-Ruupenna Samsthitaa |

Namas-Tasyai Namas-Tasyai Namas-Tasyai Namo Namah ||  ………………. like that accepting changing that what is manifested. The rest of it is Yaa Devi Sarva-Bhutessu …Rupena Namas-Tasyai Namas-Tasyai Namas-Tasyai Namo Namah it is common.

So if somebody is having excessive sleep, then chant this Mantra. How by chanting this Mantra Brahma removed the Brahma got divine  mother to remove the Nidra of Vishnu, then he got awakened.  But if somebody is having the trouble to fall asleep, just repeat with the faith because she is the Mistress of Master of all these things Nidra. Like  Ganesha. Another  name for Ganesha is Vignesha. So what is Vignesha? Vigna means obstacle. So esha means what lord of the master of the Vignas. What does that mean? It means if you have a servant you can ask him to do anything. So you serve first class breakfast to this person. He will serve. You  take a knife and finish that fellow, that also a servant will do. So this Mantra, Nidhra she is the adishtatra devatha  and therefore if she wants to put you to sleep. She can if she wants to awaken you from sleep. You can if someone is suffering from digestive problems. Yaa Devi Sarva-Bhutessu kshuda ruupena samsthitha. . Somebody is always grumbling; dis content. Yaa Devi Sarva-Bhutessu Tushtti-Ruupenna Samsthitaa | And  somebody wants to become a little bit more mellow, soft compassionate “Yaa Devi Sarva-Bhutessu Dayaa-Ruupenna Samsthitaa” | So whatever..vidhya ruupena samsthitha..  it is she who grants people with vidhya. Yeah. It is also she also grants avidya.

That is why he says Lakshmi ruupene &  also, So aLakshmi ruupene. it is there in the Chandi itself. If she is pleased she will manifest as Lakshmi; if displeased She will be manifesting aLakshmi. Because  she can do both. But  we have to understand does God really become displeased with somebody does God really hit somebody is it ever possible? Because whom is she going to hit.  From a realistic point of view. We are her children from the advaitha point of view it is she herself. Whom she is  going to hit. So what does it mean? It means whatever is the right medicine for the development of any particular child. That is the medicine. She will give.

So Nedra is a medicine for a lot of things. Do you know that when a person is in shock? For whatever reason some tragic circumstance Nedra is the greatest thing and it is said when somebody is a too shocked  and unable to express it. unable to weep then they will make that person weep. Because by weeping the emotion slowly gets exhausted. Otherwise that person will not be able to stand it. So out of her compassion, whatever happens in life is her compassion because she is with a Daya ruupena samsthitha. She is an embodiment of Daya. How could she be Cruel. if at all she has to be Cruel, not to punish anybody but to remove the defect and make her child more perfect. This is how we have to understand that. I will come back very soon. So this is the Mantra shastra. Somebody wants knowledge. “Yaa Devi Sarva-Bhutessu vidhya Ruupenna Samsthitaa” or  Gayathri Mantra. 16:19-8

What is that Gayathri Mantra –

Om Bhur Bhuvaḥ Swaḥ Tat-savitur Vareñyaṃ

Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi Dhiyo Yonaḥ Prachodayāt 

Oh mother grant me that right understanding. That  is called of Vidya.  Even  avidya  is a preparation. We discussed about it already.  avidya is not something opposed to to Vidya and AvidyAmaya is not an enemy of Vidya Maya. AvidyAmaya is a stepping stone to attain Vidya Maya.  Many times I told I am repeating it this samsara has been created by whom? By God. So do you think God will create a samsara which will take a person down into hell? It is not possible. Then  why did God it is a from his point of view We call it Leela. From  our point of view It is a learning stage. Every  step until we reach advvaitha gnaNa is a learning stage. So this is the understanding with this background. We will start this one.

Om Sarva-Mangala-mangalye Shive sarvartha-sadhike;

Sharanye Tryambake Gauri Narayani namo'stu te ||1||

namo'stu te salutations to you. Who? NarayAni. So what is the meaning of Narayani. It  is very very important. Every Sanskrit word has got an etymological meaning every Sanskrit. Word has gotten an etymological meaning. NarayAnas must consult our narayana in the Form of Shakti. That is why God has three functions srishti Sthithi  and laya.  So same God when he is in the act of creating is called Brahma. Brahma has got brahmani. So what is the difference I will tell you. Then  He is the preserver Sthithi  and that is called Vishnu and Vaishnavi.  Narayana & Narayani. Then  for laya it is Shiva. Shiva Shivani or shive.  It  will come here.

She will now the point is is this husband and wife. No. 

Just as  if we take ourselves into consideration we have got to two faculties The Faculty or the organs of knowledge and the organs of action. the organs of knowledge is Brahma the organs of knowledge is Vishnu the organs of knowledge is Shiva the organs of actions is Saraswati Actions of Vishnu is Lakshmi. The organs of actions of Shiva is Parvati, Kali, Durga Etc. knowledge without action is lame. Action  without knowledge is blind. So you analyze your understanding any action. So today you have come. How did you come? I don't mean by car how did you happen to take this action that you have a knowledge. but if the knowledge there is going to be a class here and I have to reach there. This knowledge had to be translated into action therefore you take the other means car or Metro or whatever it is and come.

So  Brahma is the what we call Knowledge, Saraswati is It's transformation. There is Vishnu is that knowledge I have to protect, Lakshmi is the means of doing things. Shiva is the knowledge and Shivani Shiva. Shiva is called Shiva or shive. What is it is actually Shiva. Lata feminine Sanskrit gender is called Shiva but here sheve means addressing. Oh shive this okay two tense okay to case that is why it is called sheve.  Narayani   oh Narayani namosthuthe - salutations to you.  the word Narayani has got two meanings. NArA means it gNana , Narayani means one who gives knowledge is called Narayani, Narayana both .  and one who resides in waters. That is why we're does Lord Vishnu’s dwelling place? Waters. Ocean. only we call it to Ocean of milk. kSherobdhi – ksheera sagara thanaya we call it.  That  means where  from The mother has come? From the waters, but the water is not ordinary water. It is called the Waters of Life. Narayani and so she who dwells in water. She who gives knowledge. Naram dadthi ithi naradhaha.   The word naradha - y NADA they were one who grants Naram.  Naram means vidhya. Bakthi Etc. The Narayana is one. Another meaning of narayana is Nara ayana. Nara means human being he who dwells filling the heart of a human being is called to narayana who is in other words pure Consciousness, pure Consciousness.

So this word has got three meanings dweller in the waters, Then Giver of knowledge, And then he who fills the hearts of the human beings. So these are the three meanings so you can get for narayani.  In  reality, there is no Vishnu and Shiva if it is in the form of knowledge is called Vishnu in the form of activity in the form of Lakshmi.  So brahma and shiva It is not male and female. it is knowledge and action. And knowledge is always compared to a female. Kali is always on mahakala. Will  you come to this Concepts also. So salutations to you what type of you you are omkara swaroopini. omkara is such a representation syllable of both personally aspect of God and the impersonal aspect of God both and it consists of how many letters ah, uh  And Ma. I also explained  what is the symbolism of om? Do you remember?  24:10-3

The  whole universe consists of millions of objects? And every object has a name every name had to be uttered by some Sound and all Sound must come from here to

hear this sound box. And if it doesn't enter these only wind only when this wind enters into the sound box, it becomes a sound like, you know your flute what come what is blown into the flute only wind but because there are different holes, we know how many holes will be there seven. Saptha Swara   because all music has to be produced only Saptha Swara. So these Saptha Swara   are played in different combinations. And the lowest of such combination is called bhopali Raga only five surahs are there that is why for the beginners. We always start with bhopali. Sa, re, ga, da, sa – Sa Da Ga Re Sa, Gayi re ganapathy jaga vandana-  just like that bhupali.  So five then six, of course 7 rest is combination of these saptha swras. every single this one falls.

So om kara, that om we utter, are tired. We are uttering from ah, uh and Ma  indicating the entirety of shapdhas  that are possible in any language. Any language must come only from here. There may be thousands of languages. In fact spoken languages and spoken means it comes out from the throat of human being and therefore the whole thing must come. That  is why om  kara represents both the saguna Brahma as well as the nirguna Brahma. Omkara is the greatest vaidhika mantra.. I also explained mantras of are three types vaidhika, tantrika  and the pouranika.  Oh, Gayatri Mantra Etc. vaidika. Tantrika  bija mantra. Im, hream, cleam, cream thom, gum. This rum rum is agni  Mantra so like that.

Then pouranica  mantras Narayana, Siva, parvathy Etc. These are the pouranica mantras.  Bija means what? Seed. What  what does it represent? See if there is a tree the tree dies in course of time. But what does he do? It creates the seed that means it recreates itself, but now is in the unmanifested form that is called bija. Bija means unmanifested Form of anything is called bija anything not only trees human beings every living creature is a BiJa Only. Because  a grown up person doesn't fall which Bija Mantra it is a special contribution of tantric rishi's. so   when a person had taken to certain particular form and tantras also had come out from Vedas only. So Vedas  Branched into three categories Vedas, tantras, and puranas. I think I mentioned the fact puranas all these bhagavata purana etcetera did I mention how they originated. When Rishis  used to do yAgnas and yaga's or sometimes a few days sometimes, few months sometimes years. There is a satra means yaga -  which runs for 12 years – dwadasa varsha yaga - Satra it is called satra. SatrA yaga, yagna are similar types.-28:46 3

There are subtle differences are there. So with BALI  one type, without Bali it is another type Etc. Now people used to come. previously. Remember our Vedic they  times there was no temples people used to worship nature natural forces the Sun the moon the wind the fire and the Earth the waters. These are the Gods pancha bhuthas Etc and different forms. So that is why in the way they got Vedic gods and goddesses and indra, varuna, chandra, rudra Vishnu, etc. Etc. Later on people's minds have got to came to a lower State unable to think, to contemplate like Vedic rishi's. therefore  the required concrete symbols, for example a small child. You cannot teach him alphabet without a concrete something so you make one for a an apple. What is this is a apple. How does apple start with the syllable a therefore A is for apple like that. The concrete something is we all required it. Later  on as the Mind become subtler and subtler then it is capable of grasping higher ideas. Then we discard these things. So this is a natural development.

So exactly in the same way vaidika  type of worship no longer people were able to sustain. But first let me complete this one when this yagnas, Yagas   were being done, ordinary people used to attend like Earth today is a big Pooja here estimated.

So they used to attend. Those  people. They don't understand any meaning of the mantras like our Homa. We are giving and all those things is the echo coming too much. It's okay. So the point is how to make them engaged first and secondly how to convey that what is being exactly done by people. so for that they have created a new kind of person is called a Storyteller in Sanskrit. He is called suta Mahabharata Suta uvacha. to voce. Sutha said it will approach you to suta. Tell us. How did this come about Etc.

So this is suta is a special kind of hari katha bagavathas who have been trained in The Vedic teachings, but they transform these Vedic teachings into ordinary man's language in the form of stories and the stories are of two types created stories to explain where the highest Vedic truths and understandable by a common person. And there were people who actually lived Saints, Kings, and other people who led an exemplary life. So their life also. As well as they create a lot of stories Mahabharata is a perfect example of that Mahabharata. So what is that Mahabharata? There were some people like group pancha pandavas, gouravas  over not only symbolically not only allegorical day, but actually even know there are so many people like yuthisTara.  For  example simple example kshudhiram. You can compare yuthisTara to kshudhiram was a truthful man dharmic man completely Satisfied Man. There was no ambition in him. He was Totally dependent upon God; So also Chandramani Devi. That's why I said Sri Ramakrishna’s goal was too big to follow the footsteps of his father as an ideal.  So what are what am I talking about these sutas used to do the  two functions. First of all, they want to entertain people with what is happening here. Secondly, they want to convey The Vedic teachings in a form understandable by them.

So  they created stories. As  I just mentioned, the stories of are of two types. One is actually there were people who lived secondly, they created certain stories to convey a meaning. Like  Sri Ramakrishna  either he heard it or  he created it.  Most likely he heard it this there was a farmer and he had he was married man. He had a wife and he had only one son. And one day when he was at work, he got the news. His son passed away. Then he slowly came to the house, but there was no sign of grief. There was not one single tear from the from his eyes drop of tear. Then his wife got very angry. Your only son died and you are not grieving at all. She became angry because he was not grieving. Then he explained see last night. I had a dream. I was a king. I had seven princesses and they were all highly educated and virtuous not unlike this monkey. Now  my dream broke. Now  shall I weep for those seven who were dead because he was alive the seven were dead or alive. If for this monkey face at one. What do you like I said, Sri Ramakrishna  explains a farmer was a gNanny man of knowledge. now. This is a created story for the sake of illustrative but

they same thing will happen in the life of everybody.

I told you M’s Life. One  day one Swami. I forget his name. He went to visit “M”  in his house Gotham with Ava then you say the swami notice to do that. Lots of people are coming and going and rushing and some weeping also. heard then he young as soon as he saying took him to the visitors room made him said sir Ram Krishna instructed M. Whenever devotees or sadhus come please give a sweet a glass of water.  Immediately he got some sweets and asking him to eat this swami asking him. What is going on here? Is it a read? These are all normal household business that goes huh? Don't mind about these things you please take and they knew that ember not live. until he hits because that was takur’s commandment. So  Swami ate it had some talk, and left. Later  on he came to know it was one of the M's chair children who died. In  the house there was a dead child. And  here he was talking as though there was nothing. That  I can tell you other stories but I will not go into it now. 

So  same thing happened in Chaitanya  mahaprabhu's life. One  day he was dancing at night in a household with devotees house and that they had only one child. When  the dance was going on you know what they “jo mae gachhe” to reach the Perfection of ecstasy. Suddenly the wife came and whispered to the husband only child is dead. Immediately he rushed back and took the child to one corner of the house covered him completely so that nobody will come to know about it. Then it would don't tell anybody don't show grief because this Ecstasy of Joy will come to an end. But Mahaprabhu he knew everything. Immediately  He came and Consoled him and all that but such was the what kind of Detachment the man must have! His only son died and this was his reaction. Okay.

So these two stories created stories and actual life lives of either Kings or sages or Saints will be entertained in a very trained way like hari katha bagavatha to keep the people engaged. Those stories, which was the seeds, now became Branched it into various puranhas and upa puranhas. similarly tantras. They had to do a lot of this mudra is Arrangements everything. Homa  we do?  How much did you see but we arrange the faggots in a particular triangular way. This is a tantric way that is how it is in the Naciketa – Yama dharma raja asked Naciketa and educated and he asked what is the way to attain to a Heavenly world?  and says you have to do a particular type of sacrifice and how many bricks what ways to arrange your cetera. He was telling that  geometrical formation. So that is important for us to understand. These are all all these stemmed  from The Vedas and one branched as tantras another Branched as puranas.  

.

So usually the Tantras are of two types. Those where Shiva dominates Parvati becomes secondary. But most of these Tantras are where shakthi  dominates Shiva becomes a secondary in Most  of the tantras. And  the tantras are hundreds of scriptures. Of  these  64 Are the main. 64 main and Bairavi brahmani had made Sri Ramakrishna  go through all these 64 important not everything but if anybody had gone through those important ones it is as good as going through all the other things. if anybody had passed his matriculation brilliantly sslc that means you have to come from class Nursery class sixth seventh eighth ninth also 10th. So that is the the way Sri Ramakrishna  was made to practice.

So now we come back. Om  represents the Saguna Brahma as well as Nirguna Brahma. Then  Sarva Mangala Mangalye.   Mangala  She is the the embodiment of auspiciousness. Sarva  Mangala She is all auspiciousness. There is nothing which is inauspicious. But you see at the same time in the chandi. She was killing, she was fighting she was killing so many of these Rakshasas. How can you connect to Mangala That's why in The Introduction I meant there is nothing inauspicious and divine mother can never do anything wrong. So it is like a surgical operation some growth has come and however painful it is with anesthesia our Suppose. There is no anesthesia. What do you think you will do emergencies? That's what they used to do in the war camps. Somebody's remedies  like a leg is shattered if it is not amputated.

Then it will turn into gangrene. So five six people will hold him down. This fellow will take one big Saw  and then just saw like that. They've got the like and band is to the best of their ability in the first world war. They didn't did not have much of anesthesia and all of the same. Second  world war They were having all those things. Red Cross also was Carrying rounds. They  will always be there accompanying.

So whatever the Divine mother does it is for the good of our own children from the dualistic point of view and it is a Lila she is she herself is killing a surprise Cinema how you know, sometimes hero and  villain both are acted by the same fellow. So one time we learn villain is Kicking the hero at other time hero is kicking the Villain. who is Kicking whom? The same actor is acting both ways. I don't know how they take it but this fellow NTRama rao, there are several dlos o your roles are there and he does it very nicely. So what is the point here? It is God from the advaithic point of view. He is dreaming this dream called Jagat and his dream is a conscious dream. Ours  is a wish-fulfilling dream and his is a conscious a dream, which is in Sanskrit called Leila. Therefore whatever happens in this world is not for pain. The greatest suffering is a gift of God. Who said Misery is a gift of God who said holy mother said

do you think that from holy mother's mouth such an irrational statement will come every suffering every bit of suffering every type of unhappiness is an awakener for us from where we are to a better state.

So some people do it forcibly when they are forcing some people Voluntarily do it when we do it forcefully, it is called beggar state. when we do it voluntarily. It is called thapasya. You understand two Beggars are sitting side-by-side one was a king who renounced to do and became a beggar to attain God the other because of his prarabhthe karma, but the experience of both is exactly the same but one brings unhappiness another brings pure. happiness. so just imagine like that if there were to be no suffering in this world. Nobody will progress one millimeter at all.

It is whatever we progress is all because That is why Holy Mother said it is all a gift of God. That is why Kunthi said “ yafpatha thanthuna  schwa tatra tatra” O Lord grant us sufferings at every step.  Kunthi’s  prayer. and she explained only when we were suffering we are in remembering Him.  So Sarvah mangala - everything that happens in this world is a mangala. Birth  is a Mangala, Sthithi is a Mangala, old age is a Mangala, disease is a Mangala, death is a Mangala,  and any type of suffering we go through is a mangalamaya,   not immediately, but it leads to and from the scientific point of view. Most people are completely unaware of it. But every mutation is a death of millions of creatures. Every step in evolution millions of creatures died. But what are they going to get they are going to get mutate into higher states in the next birth, but maybe they're also indirectly acknowledging punar janma. Otherwise  who is mutating. If so, if I die somebody else mutates. What do I get now? I am going to mutate into the higher step Sarva Mangala.

So Sarva Mangala in another words. Also we will explain but she is the  embodiment of auspiciousness, which manifests in the form of everything. We consider it as good. But what is the ultimate auspiciousness to attain her, to attain mukthi?  to get the highest knowledge or mother? There is no difference between me and you that is why everything in this world is auspicious and she is the granter of the auspiciousness. There is a law here. What is the law? If you don't have money, you can't give money. If you don't have knowledge, You can't give knowledge. If you have got happiness then only you can give happiness. So if you have got unhappiness, what can you give only unhappiness? So that is why “ dhus sandha sarava daiva thyagyaha”. Because when we go they will abundance of unhappiness. And then they will only be generously Distributing it like some people and they say that we can't miss your class, but they come with your terrible cold. What is their purpose? Why should I be alone suffer? Let everybody suffer this you let me distribute It unselfishly. They should never come they should come after 10 days when all the infection has been Exorcised somewhere from them. but they come and sit. Sometimes they sit. Maybe they think that by hand putting hand kerchief germs will not go out. Anyway, so sarva Mangala mangalye.  The very nature of the Divine mother is to bestow  what? What can Divine mother give? What can a mother give? Motherliness.  What can Divine mother give? Divinity, And  who can be the children of divine mother only divinity. This is the epithet of the Divine mother.

Yes. Shakti I told you Shakti without Shakti knowledge is useless. Supposing  you have your hunger and you want to eat food and there is food, but to eat food your karmendriys have to work. You have to go there. So knowledge without action is what you call lame. and action without knowledge is blind. you analyze your life every single thing that you do is a combination of both knowledge and action. you have not I want to see so your eyes are there to see but your hands and your legs also have to bring you to that place, you have to switch on the light or make it light and you want to hear your ear is there But you have to bring it near understand now. that is why you cannot take a knife and separate Brahma and sarasvati Vishnu and Lakshmi and Shiva and Shakti. That is why Shiva and shakthi are  Abeda. You cannot separate them.

Everybody this is what chain is called in young we call it. We have got our own Enya with onthe. It is called prakruti and purusa without purusa prakruti. Cannot Act without the prakruti and purusa is useless. So here Kali and Shiva. So Kali is prakruti and Shiva is a purusa without the purusa pure Consciousness prakruti cannot work. But without the prakruti and purusa is like a shava. That  is why he lies down like a Shava. He becomes a Shiva when only and shakthe is there. That is way you have some knowledge, but you don't have any instrument to express it. Then your knowledge is more Troublesome than not having it. Yeah you that is why most people they die because there is something inside they want to express it. They're unable to express it. They will die like that many autistic people, you know, they suffered so much because in many of them are highly intelligent inside, but they don't find the words. They cannot express it and we think they're idiots everywhere. They are not idiots. Some of them are extraordinarily brilliant. Anyway, I just give you one example, there is one man David in America and his memory power is such this yellow book page telephone pages. Every city has got several big yellow books x this with each tiny names and their telephone numbers he can he memorized many yellow box like that. You give the name and the city's name. He will give you the telephone number. You give the telephone number and tell which city he will give you the name, but he cannot manage anything without his father. He cannot even walk a few steps like that.

What about your Steven Hawkins? But the mission dependent upon the machine extraordinary machine they invented in those days. Anyway, sarva Mangala mangalye everything that happens in this world is because of her, but of all the things that are auspicious the most auspicious thing. What is it to know that I am Divine? Shewe - Shiva means the feminine epithet of Up, its going to Shiva means auspiciousness. That is why Shiva Shuba or synonymous terms the he who bestows

good upon us. He is called Shiva. Shive serva artha Saddique. She is the instrument for us to get every artha. So mainly what is this artha? Artha means our desires how many desires are there? Every human being has got only four desires. What are the four desires Dharma artha Kama and moksha. I will give you a small analysis Dharma. What is a Dharma that what is the best way of squeezing happiness is called Dharma. You will never hear this kind of definitions anywhere the best way of getting the most happiness from anything is called Dharma. Then what is artha the best way the instant best instrument for the achievement of my purpose is called artha.

What is Kama? The  best way to enjoy anything that we are capable of enjoying is called Kama. Bereft  of Dharma artha,  Kama becomes meaningless. I hope you are able to understand it. See the Dharma one way up. Is it right understanding and right application? So simple example you want to eat nice food. And to enjoy food, why do you want to eat for you? Want to enjoy? How can the maximum enjoyment can be Got you are to fulfill three. What is it? First of all the object must be the best very best object that you can get. Secondly your body must be You want to eat something? You must be very hungry. That means you must be very healthy. And at the same time some part of your body may be very hungry some other part of your body may be painful head ache or some other ache. You can't really enjoy the whole body must be completely free from any disease any defect and you must be very hungry. Theysa proper time proper place Etc. Then Kama  will come. What is the Kama mind must be completely free from worries when body is perfect in health mind is perfect in health. The object is the best object and it has been offered to God and it is the right time and it is the right place where you enjoy it when all these conditions are fulfilled then it gives you the highest. Happiness, which would which that object is capable of giving and all this the the name for all these things is called

Dharma. 55:31-9

That is why even though we don't use the word Dharma is the foundation. Dharma plus artha is DharMartha. Dharma plus Kama is Dharma Kama. So the  proper way of enjoyment. Simple one example is, you want to get maximum enjoyment from eating a sweet. There is a limit beyond that you can eat, but your enjoyment will be turned into the opposite direction. I hope you are able to understand it. Suppose,  you are very hungry and tired you and you go to a friend's place. He  will give you a first class cup of coffee. It is the most enjoyable cup of coffee under the circumstances. suppose he offers you second cup of coffee immediately. You notice  the Notch of the highest happiness has come down to a very low level. somehow. Okay, you're still hungry drink, but the first took cup what happened is it give it will never give suppose seeing you without saying anything drinking he will offer you a third Cup of coffee. I know you feel like beating him on the head. Do you think I'm a Rakshasa? one of our Swami is the great eater. So  he went and he could eat a lot it I think that Kamarpukur this happened. The  cook went on serving him one chapatti to 15, 20 chapattis. He  was not saying anything. 21st chapatti is the cook had served the this Swami Got so angry. But no they cook was offering two chapattis, seeing him eating. The  Swami got so angry and said, “do you think I'm a rockshesa I can't eat so many

Just give me one and get off.” 21 chapattis quite thick chapattis with subje, He could swallow. He got very angry at 22nd. So there is a limit for anything. if we know what is the limit where we can derive the highest  happiness and stop there our happiness will be attained. That  understanding is called dharma Kama.  Dharma artha means to procure a best of object and to keep the body and mind free. From person to person and it differs it. There are two meanings Are there. Dharma means first meaning of Dharma. Dharma sthapana -  to know who we really are is the first meaning of Dharma. Yes. What is my real nature?

Second meaning is the body-mind, what does it mean? A  child and a grown-up person both are sitting side-by-side. The mother is serving both. A mother will not serve the same quantity for the child. She will give very easily digestible things small quantities to the child. Well,  should she be  discriminating? Is she partial  in her love. No, she's absolutely same if at all more love for the child because of her love for the child because that bodies Dharma is only that much. If she gives more and forces the child, then he will lose that Health that he will deviate from Dharma. There is a sharira  Dharma there is a mano dharma. One order anything like that. You want to staring at it like a hole at the TV and mobile phone. You'll get a headache. There is a limit to how much time to sleep how much a time to work how much time to rest this is well defined now, it has become daring the borderline has become very blurred and that is why problems are entering into the Mind mental problems 99% of the mental problems are based upon with this physical lack of control proper time. And so somebody has written a beautiful book and then he has mentioned if everybody must have at least seven to eight hours of very good sleep The mental problems will automatically the percentage will come down. Anyway, what is what is the word we are discussing Sarva  artha sadhike. Sarva means  all. Artha  means the lakhs.

What are they like she is the bestower of  Dharma artha Kama And moksha. one meaning second is artha means padartha  - any object. Somebody wants money. Somebody wants house. Somebody wants job. Somebody wants knowledge all this she by her very glands will bestow all those things.

Then artha has got another meaning artha means Artha the meaning means understanding. your reading Bagavad Gita. You need to understand it who can give you that understanding the Divine mother if she is bred. Sarva artha - she will give you all the meaning you that means you will understand the scriptures to the best of your ability as it it is meant to be understood. Sarwartha Sadhike.  Sharanye ultimate Refuge of everything is the Divine mother. But here also we have 2 Meanings so you have got sickness and what do you do you get to a doctor but how did that person become a doctor by getting knowledge who is who is giving the knowledge to the doctor? Divine mother Saraswati. so I either directly she can give you knowledge or indirectly she will give you what you can't refuse a doctor is a status of Refuge for a sick person a teacher is a refuge for student. So like that a mental mental cognitive psychologist or psychiatrist is a refuge for the mentally sick person.

So depending upon the requirement. We need somebody who will fulfill that particular need and that knowledge, which will help us ultimately indirectly. That is Sharanye. Ultimate  Sarnia is Mother Divine mother herself.

So here also 2 points. You have to note down for all physical fulfillment World a fulfillment very often. We don't need to go to the Divine mother we can go. But take refuge this was expressed by SRI Ramakrishna when he was mortally sick with cancer. Somebody advised him sir. Please pray to the Divine mother. He said immediately. That God has created. This is the God has created medicine. God has created Doctor's first. Let us go to the doctor and try it with the medicine created by the Divine mother and if it doesn't work ultimate you fall at the feet of God and take refuge. And so both meanings are there SharanYe.  Sharanye is taken in the last two lines - Sharan'agata dinarta paritrana parayane and we will come to that.  Tryambake - Tryambake  has got two versions. Triambaka -  ambaka means 3 eyes. What are the I the Sooria the Chandra and Gnana Chakshu. That's why Shiva is called triambakam parameshwaram. And Shiva is also called Shiva is also called triambake. Three-eyed. What is the three-eyed – srishti, sthithi and vinasa.  she who has got Gnana chakshu not only she spews propanchiga  dhirsty. We also gives adyathmika drishti. authority to remedy 3 eye, And if it is triambike - a 3 triambikae –means,  hence this three letter  ah, uh, and ma. 1:04:49-3

Omkara swaroopini.  Triyambike, triyambake . if  it is Amba it is three-eyed. if it is B, it is three letters Gowrie, the word Gowrie has got two meanings golden colored is Gowrie,  white Color is also Gowrie .  because  Shiva is white. And Himalaya is white it daughter of Himalaya is also white white stands for light and light stands for knowledge. So she is the embodiment of knowledge.

Yadevi sarva bhutheshu vidhya ruupena samsthitha – yadevi Chetanety-Abhidhiiyate |. Chetana pure Consciousness in the Chandi itself. Tryambake Gauri Narayani namo'stu te - I must tell you salutations to you oh Divine mother.
