On Aarti "Jaya Jagadish Hare"

The famous aartī, "Jaya Jagadish Hare" is composed by Pandit Shardha Ram Phillauri.

It is said to have been composed as a Universal aartī by the author. The popular imagination phenomenon might have made it limited to Lord Vishnu. 1/n
The aarti made its first raw cinematic appearance in a song from the 1952 movie, Anand Math.

In here, the Govinda damodar Stotram of Sri Bilva Mangala Thakura is adapted with the 'Jai Jagdish Hare' refrain.

The rendition of the written aarti reaches its zenith in a later 1970 movie, Purab Aur Paschim. The protrayed song in the movie, playing background of the aartī, beautifully portrays the devotion towards the Radha-Krishna.
This prayer symbolizes the continuity of the Indian tradition before and after India's independence. at this point of time the song was becoming a favorite aarti staple across India.
The aartī's various variations employing same background tune and structure, are used for specific deities such as in: Om Jai Shiv omkara, Om Jai Lakshmi mata, Om Jai Ambe gauri, Om Jai Adya Shakti, Om Jai Saraswati Mata, Om Jai Gange Mata, et al..
There are two point of view,
It's not written for Vishnu, but the general Almighty.

..तुम पूरण परमात्मा, तुम अन्तर्यामी,
पारब्रह्म परमेश्वर, तुम सब के स्वामी ॥.....

...Tuma pūraṇa paramātmā, tuma antaryāmī,
PāraBrahma parameśvara, tuma sabkē svāmī ॥...
second, It's indeed written for Vishnu.
For example, lets see two lines in the aartī

तुम करुणा के सागर, तुम पालनकर्ता,...
Tuma karuṇā ke sāgara, tuma PālanaKartā...
Further,

दीन-बन्धु दुःख-हर्ता, ठाकुर तुम मेरे,
Generally, it's a common paurāṇika tradtion (across all sampradāyas) to specifically refer Lord Vishnu as the PālanaKartā of the Universe. Further, the epithet ṭhākura ji, is quite a prevalent name for Vishnu in his Shri Krishna avatara.

Why camphor is placed on the chin of Venkateshwara Balaji of Tirupati

In the very olden days the Tirupati hill was a very dense forest and was surrounded by great flora and fauna where not much humans used to reside. It was quiet difficult for humans to easily survive.
Shrimad Ramanujulu after installing shankhu Chakra, wished to pray Venkatesha with different kinds of flowers & leaves, which ofcourse was quiet challenging for people to travel & carry from below the hill to the temple on top. Maha vishnu is Almkara Priya(loves Decorations).
Thinking about this at Shri Ranga Matam he announced to his disciples about his wish & asked if any disciple would want to stay at Tirupaty on the hill top, plant a garden & take care of the Alamkara needs.Shree Anantalvar took the opportunity as a boon & expressed his interest.

Relationships are the most complex things one can ever deal with. While there are various paths scientifically which support the psychological set up if a human, spiritually some of the scriptures work in the same way.
Personal equations esp between a couple has it's frictions due to a sudden change from an individual to an added responsible life. Couple both have a responsibility towards relationships materialisticaly Nd spiritually.
Reading

1. Ardhanareeshwara Sthotra
2. Parvati Vallabha Sthotra
3. Vyuhalakshmi Sthotra ( Lakshmi residing in heart of vishnu is Vyooha Lakshmi)

Give great benefits to seekers. Mental blockages get cleansed regarding relationships & right directions are shown by the almighty.

Punishments for abusing deities and the scriptures in

The wretch that abuses Mûla Prakriti, the Vedas, the S’âstras, Purânas, Brahmâ, Visnu, S’iva & the other Devas, Gaurî, Laksmî, Sarasvatî & the other Devîs, goes to the hell named Bhayânaka Narakakunda.
There is no other hell more tormenting than this. The sinners live here for many Kalpas and ultimately become serpents. There is no sin greater than the abuse of the Devî. There is no expiation for it. So one ought never to abuse the Devî.
If one discontinues the allowances given by oneself or other persons to the Devas or Brâhmanas, one goes to Visthâ Kunda and has to eat the faeces there for sixty thousand years and finally to be born in Bhârata as worms in faeces the same number of years.

This Holi - "Be a Prahlad in Kaliyuga"

"Kalau Namasamkeertanam" is what the Kaliyiga dharma of teaching the lotus feet of Parabrahma. The most easiest way to reach Bhagwaan in this Kaliyuga is Nama smarana and samkeertanam. One must not forget this Dharma at all.
When Hiranyakashipu asks prahlada what has he learnt in his journey, prahlada explains about the Navavidhana / Navarasa / Navaratnas of Bhakti. The small child explained the 9 colors of Bhakti to the entire world in short showed the way to reach the depths of Bhakti Paravasyam.
His baby voice says

Sravanam kirtanam vishnoh smaranam padasevanam

Archanam vandanam daasyam
Sakhyam AtmaNivedanam

iti pumsarpita vishnau bhaktischennavalakshana

Kriyeta bhagwati addha tan manye adhitam uttamam - Bhagwatam

Easiest way to look at this is what love is NOT.

Love is universal, it can never be between distinct entities. When one realises oneness, true love follows. The sense of man and woman is dead when one attains true love. 1/n
However, we see that in nature every object animate or inanimate tries to attain oneness knowingly or unknowingly. For, instance we dress according to mainstream since we want to feel one.

Carnality is a futile attempt to unite the masculine & the feminine principles and so on
Such attempts are worthless as its foundation is itself based on change. Like, the mainstream apparel fashion changes etc. and everytime we too change.
