➡️ Anantha Chaturdasi (19.09.2021) - Sri Ananthana chintane...

➡️ Anantha Padmanabha Vratha (Tit-bits)

Ananthananthadevesha Anantha Phaladayaka!
Anantharoopi Viswathman Ananthaya Namo Namaha!!
🙏🙏🙏

Significance of # 14 in Ananta Padmanabha Vratha

> It is performed on 14th Lunar day Chaturdasi.
> It is performed for 14 years before Udyaapana.
> Lord Vishnu is worshiped with 14 varieties of flowers, fruits/dishes and a red coloured silk thread having 14 knots called Thora.

A special sweet dish made with wheat flour and jaggery is prepared in 28 # and half of it is given to a Brahmana after Nivedana to Lord Anantha.

In the universe we have 14 worlds (Chaturdasa bhuvanas); seven above including earth and seven below the earth. Lord Vishnu (Anantha) is the Supreme God of this universe.

In the concept of kAlaGanana (Time element) we have 14 Manvantharas in one Kalpa and KaAlaPurusha Lord Vishnu (Anantha) is the presiding Deity who holds all these Manvantharas;

Chaturdasi thithi should be UdayaVyapni and if it is associated with Pournami thithi it is to be preferred and considered as auspicious,sacred for performing Anantha Padmanabha Vratha.

Donating a Cow (Gau-dana) on this day is considered as highly sacred and meritorious.

Details of Anantha Padmanabha Vratha Kalpa are mentioned in Bhavishyottara Purana.
Lord Sri Krishna narrated significance of Sri Anantha Padmanabha Vratha to Dharmaraja. On the advice & direction of Lord Sri Krishna, Dharmaraja performed this Vratha during their exile in forests.

In this vratha, Lord Vishnu is worshiped in the posture of Anantha (reclining on Aadisesha) with shodasa upachaara pooja.

Seven # Dharbha (Kusa grass) are tied together representing Lord Anantha with seven hoods.

Those who perform this austerity as per norms with total devotion and sincerity will be bestowed with multiple merits viz. Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha.

➡️ Ancient temples of Lord Anantha-Padmanabha...

There is an ancient temple dedicated to Lord Sri Anantha Padmanabha at Sri Kshethra KUDUPU near Mangalore which is said to be in existence since Krita Yuga. contd...

ANANTHA-SAYANAM at Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum) in Kerala; contd...

Dedicated to Lord Anantha at Ananthagiri about 75 km from Hyderabad city. Here the Lord is said to have manifested as a Salagrama Shila who appears in Trimurthi Swaroopa of Anantha-Narasimha-Srinivasa. It is said that Sage Markandeya had performed penance at this place. contd..

RANGANATHA kshetras on the banks of holy river Kaveri..

All the 3 temples have Vishnu in reclining form resting on Ananta (Bhujaga sayana). Posture at 3 temples is more/less same.

➡️SYMBOLISM OF LORD GANESHA - Pointers...

> What does it convey?

Generally, we find Lord Ganesha depicted as a dwarf and fatty figure with pot belly, elephant head, large ears, small eyes, long nose, mouse as vehicle etc.

contd...

From an artistic angle this figure is most enchanting and blissful. But, behind this artistic symbolism hidden is, a philosophy, a moral, a management principle and a lesson for every body to learn in life. contd...

> Big Head: Simple living and high thinking. It depicts the wisdom, knowledge (intelligence), discrimination, clear planning, and foresightedness which are very much the principles of management.

Anusandhana for worshiping Lord Ganesha.....
Sri GanapatiAntargatha
BharatiramanaMukhyaPranaAntargatha
Sri ViswaroopaViswambharayaNamaha;

Lord Ganesha's worship/anugraha/blessings are very much required to mitigate Vipareeta JnyaAna and to know/learn yathaArtha jnyaAna ie., "Hari SArvottama-Vaayu Jeevottama"

To get rid of vaKra buddHi (purverted intelligence); to have discriminative intelligence one should worship, have वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय anugraha, it is very much required; Lord of Vignas (obstacles), Lord Ganesha is controller of obstacles & destroyer of miseries of his devotees.
