!!!JAI MATA DI !!
Durga Chalisa Namo Namo Durge Sukh karani,Namo Namo ambe Dukh harani.Nirakar hai jyoti tumhari,Tihun lok pheli ujayari.Shashi lalat mukh mahavishala,Netra lal bhrikutee vikarala.

Roop Matu ko adhika suhave,Daras karat jan ati sukh pave.Tum sansar shakti laya kina,Palan hetu anna dhan dina.


Annapurna hui jag pala,Tumhi adi sundari Bala.Pralaya kala sab nashan hari,Tum gauri Shiv-Shankar pyari.Shiv yogi tumhre guna gaven,Brahma Vishnu tumhen nit dhyaven.


Roop Saraswati ko tum dhara,De subuddhi rishi munina ubara.Dharyo roop Narsimha ko amba,Pragat bhayin phar kar khamba.Raksha kari Prahlaad bachayo,Hiranakush ko swarga pathayo.


Lakshmi roop dharo jag mahin,Shree Narayan anga samihahin.Ksheer sindhu men karat vilasa,Daya Sindhu, deeje man asa.Hingalaja men tumhin Bhavani,Mahima amit na jet bakhani.



Matangi Dhoomavati Mata,Bhuvneshwari bagala sukhdata.Shree Bhairav lara jog tarani, Chhinna Bhala bhav dukh nivarani.Kehari Vahan soh Bhavani,Langur Veer Chalat agavani.Kar men khappar khadag viraje,Jako dekh kal dan bhaje.


Sohe astra aur trishoola,Jase uthata shatru hiya shoola.Nagarkot men tumhi virajat,Tihun lok men danka bajat.Shumbhu Nishumbhu Danuja tum mare,Rakta-beeja shankhan samhare.Mahishasur nripa ati abhimani,Jehi agha bhar mahi akulani.Roop karal Kalika dhara,Sen Sahita tum tin samhara.



Pan garha Santan par jab jab,Bhayi sahaya Matu tum tab tab.Amarpuni aru basava loka,Tava Mahirna sab rahen asoka.Jwala men hai jyoti tumhari,Tumhen sada poojen nar nari.Prem bhakti se Jo yash gave,Dukh-daridra nikat nahin ave.Dhyave tumhen jo nar man laee,Janam-maran tako chuti jaee.Jogi sur-muni kahat pukari,Jog na ho bin shakti tumhari.



Shankar Aacharaj tap keenhon,Kam, krodha jeet sab leenhon.Nisidin dhyan dharo Shankar ko,Kahu kal nahini sumiro tum ko.Shakti roop ko maran na payo,Shakti gayi tab man pachitayo.

Jab lagi jiyoon daya phal paoon,Tumhro yash men sada sunaoon.Durga Chalisa jo gave,Sab sukh bhog parampad pave.

I bow to You O Goddess Durga, the bestower of happiness! I bow to You O Goddess Amba, who Ends all miseries.The radiance of your light is limitless and all pervading and all the threerealms (Earth, Heaven And the Nether World) are enlightened by Thee.Your face is like the moon and mouth very huge.


Your eyes shine with a red glow and You have a Frightening frown.O Mother! Your look is enchanting, the very sight of which ensures welfareof the devout.


All the powers of the World repose in Thee and it is You who provide food and wealth for the World's survival.Like the feeding Mother Annapoorna, You nurture the whole universe and You are the one Who appear like the timeless Bala Sundari (young girl of extreme beauty).


At the time of dissolution, it is You, O Mother, who destroys everything. You are the beloved Consort of Lord Shiva, Gauri (Parvati). Lord Shiva and all yogis always chant your praise Brahma, Vishnu and all other Gods ever meditate on You.


You appear in the form of Goddess Saraswati too,to grant wisdom to the sages and thus ensure their Welfare.O Mother Amba! It was You who appeared in the form of Narsimha, sundering the pillar.


Thus You saved Prahlad and Hiranyakashyap also went to Heaven as he was killed by your Hands.In the form of Goddess Lakshmi, O Mother, you appear in this world and repose by the side of Shree Narayan.Dwelling in the ocean of milk, O Goddess, with Lord Vishnu, please fulfill my desires.


O Bhavani, the famous Goddess of Hingalaja is no one else but You Yourself. Illimitable is your Glory, defying description.You are yourself Matangi and Dhoomavati Mata.



It is You who appear as Bhuvaneshwari and Bagalamukhi Devi to bestow happiness to all.It is You who redeem the wolrd, appearing in the form of Shree Bhairavi, Taradevi and Chhinnamasta Devi, and end its sorrows.Reposing gracefully uopn your vehicle, O Goddess Bhavani, You are welcome by the brave Langour (Lord Hanuman).When You appear in the form of Goddess Kali, with sword in one hand and a cupel in the other, Even Time flees in panic.Beholding You, well armed, with a Trident in your hand, the enemy's heart aches with the sting Of fear.You also repose in the form of Devi at Nagarkot in Kangara.


Thus all the three realms shudder in the might of your glory.You slayed the demons like Shumbh & Nishumb and massacred the thousand forms of the dreaded Demon Raktabeej.When the earth was severely distressed bearing the load of the sins of the arrogant Mahishasur.You assumed the dreadful form of Goddess Kali and massacred him along with his army. Thus, whenever the noble saints were distressed, it is You O Mother, who came to their rescue.


All the realms including the Amarpuri (divine realm) remain sorrow-less and happy by Your Grace. O Goddess!It is the symbol of Your glory that is burning brightly at Shree JwalaJi. All me and women Ever worship You, O Mother!He who sings Your glory with devotion, love, and sincerity remains beyond the reach of grief And poverty.He who meditates upon Your form with concentration goes beyond the cycle of births and deaths.


All the yogis, gods and sages openly declare that without your favour one can't establish communion with God.Shankaracharya had performed once a special penance called Aacharaj and by virtue of which he had subdued his anger and desire.


He ever worshipped Lord Shankar and never for a moment concentrated his mind on You.Since He did not realise your immense glory, all His powers waned and then He repented hitherto.Then He sought refuge in You, chanted Your glory and 'victory, victory, victory to Thee, O Jagadamba Bhavani'.Then, O Primal Goddess Jagadamba Ji, You were propitiated and in no time You bestowed Him with his lost powers.


O Mother! Severe afflictions distress me and no one except Your Honoured Self can provide relief please end my afflictions. Hopes and longings ever torture me.


All sorts of passions and lust ever torment my heart.O Goddess Bhavani! I meditate only upon you Please kill my enemies O Queen! O Merciful Mother! Show me your favour and make me feel happy by bestowing me with all sorts of riches and powers.O Mother! May I be receptable of Your grace as long as I live, ever recounting the feats of Your Glory to all.This way, whoever sings this Durga Chalisa shall ever enjoy all sorts of pleasures and shall attain the highest state in the end.

Shreemad bhgavad geeta . Lord Krishna True blessings and teaching to human beings .

SHREE MADBHAGAVAD GEETA :- Chanting Shree madbhagvad geeta gives positive energies and we learn about salvation . Lord krishna gave the real truth for human beings . In my own experince Bhagvad geeta is Ultimate truth which gives real knowledge .

CHAPTER FIRST OF SHREE MADBHAGAVAD GEETA :-Commentaries of the Four Authorized Vaisnava Sampradayas
as confirmed in the Garga Samhita Canto 10, Chapter 61, Verses 23, 24, 25, 26
Brahma Vaisnava Sampradaya:

Madhvacarya

Madhvacarya's Commentary


Madhvacarya has no commentary so we present Baladeva Vidyabhusana's.

Dhritarastra although blind at birth was born with an inner eye of knowledge; but due to being overly affectionate and attached to his sons he lost the knowledge of righteousness and thus he was worrying that his sons might return half of the kingdom to the Pandavas who were the rightful heirs.

Sanjaya who was righteous by nature could understand the actual internal mood of Dhritarastra; but to appease his anxiety that his sons would never give back half of the kingdom he said this verse beginning drstva tu pandavanikam vyudham...the soldiers of the Pandavas are in military formation. The initiative taken by Duryodhana in approaching his preceptor in archery, the master bowman Drona shows that internally he was feeling fearful at the sight of the Pandavas might. So with the pretence of going to offer respect, he approached Drona to conceal this fear. The word raja meaning king indicates that Duryodhana was very expert in the diplomacy of politics and the use of the word vacanam implies that he would speak terse sentences filled with heavy import concerning the subject of war.

CHAPTER SECOND :- Kumara Vaisnava Sampradaya:

Nimbaditya

Kesava Kasmiri's Commentary

Having heard Arjuna's justifications from refraining from the battle due to the fear of receiving sin for the slaying of relatives; Dhritarastra was relieved of the fear that his sons might have returned to the Pandavas their fair share of the kingdom and desired to know what happened next. Sanjaya spoke that Arjunas eyes were brimming with tears, when ones eyes are full of tears ones clear vision is obstructed and thus refers to Arjunas unable to see the situation in the correct perspective. By addressing Lord Krishna with the vocative Madhusudana indicates that just as He destroyed the demon Madhu in times of yore, by descending in the royal dynasty as a ksatriya He would destroy all the demoniac and evil elements which are burdening the Earth.


Rudra Vaisnava Sampradaya:

Visnuswami

Sridhara Swami's Commentary

What happened next? To answer this the verse states that to him meaning Arjuna whose eyes were filled with tears in bewilderment, to him Arjuna who was grieving the Supreme Lord Krishna spoke these words.

CHAPTER THIRD :-Chapter three establishes the fact by various points of view that the performance of prescribed duties is obligatory for everyone. Here Lord Krishna categorically and comprehensively explains how it is the duty of each and every member of society to carry out their functions and responsibilities in their respective stage of life according to the rules and regulations of the society in which one lives. Further the Lord explains why such duties must be performed, what benefit is gained by performing them, what harm is caused by not performing them. Plus what actions lead to bondage and what actions lead to salvation. All these points relating to duty have been described in great detail. Thus this chapter is entitled: The Eternal Duties of Human Beings.

Sri Vaisnava Sampradaya:

Ramanuja

Ramanuja's Commentary

The ultimate purpose of the Bhagavad-Gita is to show in a clear and lucid manner that one-pointed loving devotion to the Supreme Being who is glorified and proclaimed in the Vedas is the singular and paramount goal to be attained by all human beings specifically and for all living beings in general. Who is proclaimed in the Upanisads as the singular goal to achieve by the aspirants for moksa or liberation from material existence. Who is declared in the Puranas as being destitute of all defiling characteristics such as avidya or nescience. This Supreme Being who is possessing boundless and unlimited magnificent and glorious attributes. Bhakti yoga or loving devotional service is exclusively only in relation to the Supreme Lord Krishna or any of His authorised avatars or incarnations as revealed in Vedic scriptures. In order to achieve full success in bhakti yoga it is essential to achieve atma tattva or realisation of one's eternal soul. The atma or soul is one's eternal nature beyond all material conceptions and is a necessary preliminary step. Atma tattva is ultimately attained by jnana yoga or the cultivation of spiritual knowledge from the Vedic scriptures which is generated by karma yoga or the performance of prescribed Vedic activities without attachment. These prescribed Vedic activities are established on the foundation that the atma is eternal and can never be modified or destroyed as delineated so clearly by Lord Krishna in chapter two.

Brahma has stated that the acquisition of paravidya or the knowledge required to attain the Supreme Being is known as bhakti or loving devotion and that dahara-vidya or that this method of meditation is required to realise the Supreme Being, who resides within the etheric region of the heart. In the Chandogya Upanisad it is given that the realisation of the atma within one's own heart is the first ancillary step by the God aspirant to attaining realisation of the Supreme Being Himself. Then the incorporeal and non-material reality of the atma and its eternal nature beyond the consciousness of waking, sleeping and dreaming is completely transcended. Thus does the phenomenal nature of the atma emerging from within the physical body, radiant in ineffable light shining in its natural and wonderous effulgence. In the Katha Upanisad this subject is also well elucidated as given in the following description: By perceiving paramatma which is the Supreme Soul existing simultaneously within all beings and then by discrimination obtained after realisation of the individual atma. The enlightened one delivers themselves from attraction and repulsion, joy and grief and all other dualities. Communion with the Supreme Soul is communion with the Supreme Being which is the goal to be attained through the discrimination derived directly from atma tattva. This confirms that atma tattva or realisation of the soul is an essential ingerdient and constituent component of the Supreme Being which is attained by bhakti or loving devotion. Another example is: Knowing the magnificent and all- pervading nature of paramatma the Supreme Soul, the enlightened one no longer grieves or laments which reveals the natural potency of the atma to relieve one of all mundane dross due to the influence of the material existence.

The eternal soul known as the atma is not gainable merely by hearing about it. Nor is it obtainable by discoursing about it nor is it attainable by meditating exclusively on it. The atma is attainable solely to those whom the atma alone elects to attain it. Whomsoever the atma selects as an act of sovereign grace alone the atma reveals itself to such a one. Who is such a one? It is none other than that person who has discriminatory wisdom as their charioteer, who has the reins of their mind controlling the steeds of the senses, who has the actual competence to achieve moksa or liberation and attain the coveted goal of loving devotion to the Supreme Lord.

So in conclusion what we have just presented in essence form is the ultimate purpose of the Bhagavad-Gita. From chapter three along with chapters four, five and six the path for the aspirant is given beginning with the very first question in this chapter. The means of cognition and the method of realisation along with the meditation required to achieve it will be delineated and forthcoming.
