Sri Vishnu Sahasranama stothram (sloka #23) describes Sri #Vishnu as #Animishah, the one who is ever awake, ever alert, and ever vigilant; the one who keeps a continuous vigil on his devotees. +
These four months (#Chaturmasam) are incredibly dear and pleasing to Paramaatma #Vishnu when He will be in Yoga Nidra (divine slumber) from Aaashaada Sukla Ekadasi called Deva Sayani or Hari Sayani to Kartheeka Sukla Dwaadasi called Uttaana Dwaadasi.
Thus, when #Bhagavantha is in yoga-nidra it is befitting for us (mortals) to set aside our mundane materialistic activities and take part in special religious and spiritual pursuits.
To evolve perfection one must make use of every little opportunity in one’s allotted span of life. Perhaps Chaturmasa is an appropriate occasion to streamline ones life physically, mentally as well as spiritually. +
Meaning, Oh!Mukhyaprana, how shall I praise yr deeds? In D past you flew frm Lanka a 1000 miles 2 bring life-saving Sanjivini frm Gandhamana mounts. U lifted mountain carried it on ur shoulder, U flew through sky in mts as every1 saw, U kept it @ D feet of Rama & bowed down 2 him
#NavaGrahas🙏🙏🙏
are not mere planets in the solar system. They are Devatas with a divine background. If only one can go through the meaning of slokas in Navagraha stotra, one can understand the divinity behind them. ++
One should not ignore worshipping Navagrahas. They should also be worshipped along with other Parivara DEvatas like Ganapati-Subramanya, always with proper anusandhana/Taratamya... #BharatiRamanaMukhyaPraanaAntargatha-#HariSarvottama;
A planet or a Graha is a celestial body that has substantial influence on the living beings on earth. Nava Grahas play an important role in human life. Navagrahas are the pivot around which the concept of astrology rotates. +++
Have you ever heard of #Chatuhshashtikala - the Great Indian Arts & Skills & their meanings ? +

Dhanyavad to @tattvavadaelib for bringing out this sacred stotra in 9 languages with meaning in English useful for novice understanding.
As mentioned earlier the Credit should go to Sri Suvidyendra Theertharu for rendering translation (in Kannada) of this divine stotra when He was Pontiff of Mantralaya Sri Raghavendra Swamy Matha, based on which subsequently English versions have come into picture based on it.
#Durithaapahara Stothram also known as Paapa Vimochana #Stothram composed by Saint Sri #Vijayeendra#Theertharu is focused at common man, an eye opener for those who are ignoring/deviating from the subtle elements of #saAdhana maarga;+
