Hanuman

Chandrasena, the king of Ujjain was not only a scholar, but also a staunch devotee of Lord Siva. Once his friend Maheswari’s follower Manibahdra gave him a beautiful gemstone called Sundara Chintamani. It shone so bright and beautiful when Chandrasen wore it on his neck, that he looked even more glorious than the celestial gods. It would make even them feel jealous. Once, some kings went and asked Chandrasen to part with the jewel and Chandrasen promptly refused to do so. This angered the kings, who in turn attacked Chandrasena’s kingdom. When Chandrasena realized that he was surrounded by the enemy he sought the help of Mahakal. Bhagawan Shiva was pleased with his prayers and showed him a solution for his problem. Just then, by chance, a Brahman woman wandered near Mahakal, carrying her child with her, and suddenly became a widow. An illiterate boy once saw the king performing Puja in the stone and installed it in his empty house. He imagined it to be an incarnation of Shiva and started worshipping it. The boy became so engrossed in prayer and chanting, that he even forgot all about food. When his mother went to call him, any number of calls had no affect on him. He was silently praying. Angered by this, the mother who was still bound by worldly love, threw away the SivaLinga. She destroyed all the thing of worship. The boy was very sad at what his mother had done. He started to pray to Shiva with his entire concentration. Siva was not long in coming to the rescue of his devotee. This stone SivaLinga which was brought by the son of a cowherd soon became adorned with gemstones and turned into a JyotirLinga. After singing in praise of Lord Siva, when the boy returned to his house, he was amazed to find a beautiful palatial home instead. Thus, with the Grace and Blessings of Lord Siva, the boy became rich and led a very happy life. Mahakaleshwar Jyotirling Temple, Ujjain

In the mean time, the enemy kings who attached ceased Chandrasena’s empire, began to fight among themselves. They began to say king Chandrasena is a Siva devotee and ujjain itself is the city of Mahakal. It is therefore, impossible to anyone to win it. They then decided to extend a hand of friendship to king Chandrasena and together they all worshipped Mahakal.




At that time, the Vanara King Hanuman appeared there. He told the kings that only Siva could grant salvation to mankind and nobody else. Siva can be pleased with worship done even without chanting any mantras. The example of the son of cowherd is for us. Then Hanuman looked at Chandrasena with eyes filled with affection and benevolence and disappeared

Pattinathar

 


What Patinathar said...

I just ate food, how did it become stubborn?
I was still alive, how did I become?
Was the palm the food?
Was death the life?
Is this shrinking body the one who cured youth so far?
Did this many eyes circled for these sombre chests?
For a big little bit!!
The leopard will multiply!!
Is this unstable false life sung by Pattinathar?
′′ Still pulling on. When my wife and my surroundings said ′′ I didn't die ′′ I remembered them wishing me a hundred years.
So far I've cut my roots with my axe!!
All I wanted was hating me!!
Should practice old age while young!!
If I had realized that it would become sturdy while searching and eating food, I would not have snatched other people's food!!
I wouldn't have hidden the gold thing that should be used for everyone like a thief.
Wisdom that has passed away.!!
Besides mat and sickness who's up!!
Who will cry for me even if I die?
Can I own this palace and money after the dead body?
Even if the body is married with sandalwood, is it going to smell if it dies?
Dear, the mother who said that you are the bell,
The wife who said love or my life,
They will leave in the graveyard after the dead body!!
Those who said they won't leave, after throwing them as corpse,
The soil looks at me and says ′′ Son!!! I am there....
Come to sleep on my lap ′′ hugged me in my chest....
Drunk flower it seems
It's a matching dirt
A rumor of hate
It is said to hate the uvappana
World fake life be yourself...
Every organ in your body was created to be used as long as you are alive....
So if you say that you will get this disease when you are old, please don't believe it....
Look at the animals that live with you. It does its own work till death comes....
No bird asks for food from his chick because he's old.
No cow is lying down and asking for water or food from its calf.
No cat or dog can be a bed to lie down on...
Healthy self does all their work till death...
Humans are the only ones who believe that they will get sickness and disability when they are old and start living expecting others....
Remember it well.....
There is no such thing as old age.
There is no such thing as sickness.
There is no such thing as disability.
It's all in your mind and faith.
Change your thinking. Live a healthy life
You become what you believe in.....
I... I... I am...
I have earned it,
I saved it,
I only built the house,
I am the one who helped,
I am the big one,
I just bought the job,
People who think that I am me and me!!!
Can you say I'm the one running my heart?
Can you tell I'm the one running my brain?
Can you say I'm the one running both my kidneys?
Can you say ′′ I ′′ is the one who separates nutrients from the food I ate in my stomach and mixes it in my blood??
Can you tell I make flowers bloom?
The one who does and runs all these has the right and right to say ′′ I ′′..
So leave the ego of me and be kind to everyone.
Don't crave for the person above you, you will get inferiority..!
Don't look at the person below you as a mockery, you will get a headache...!
Be yourself without comparing yourself with anyone else, you will get confidence.
