So in times of danger, we do our part to protect ourselves from calamities both internally and externally. We pray, we seek help from the higher power. Though our ultimate aim is self-realization, we simply seek help in handling the worldly situations which forms an obstacle in our quest of highest spiritual truth. For those who do not have self-realization as the aim or destination, chanting this hymn will slowly and gradually guide in that path while blessing the worldly needs which are righteous and harmless. Bhairava not only saves us from dangers but he guides us thoroughly in our spiritual path and leads us to the experience of self-realization, he is our guru, our god and our guardian. Because he is the one who grants success for the seekers say the sacred scriptures. This hymn is very powerful and is found in bhairavopasanadhyaya in the upasana stabhaka which is in dharma skanda of Brihad Jyotisharnava compiled by Harikrishna Vyankatarama. The hymn is also called bhairava stavaraja - the king of hymns of lord bhairava. There are various dangers, troubles and calamities in this world. One can even feel sometimes that the whole life is just a struggle. Until we realize our true self. Atman which is beyond every duality (heat and coldness, brightness and darkness etc.)We definitely need help and strength in crossing over the samsara (the cycle of birth and death) we surrender to the god in a form which we feel we can connect with easily.

Download or read book Depicted Deities written by M.L.B. Blom and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-08-07 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the rules of art. More specifically, it treats of the unwritten rules of Nepalese religious art as laid down in ‘model books’. These can be seen as manuals for the artists, in which they can find the correct way to represent, in visual art, any of some 2000 godly figures. The representation of these gods, all of them with their particular attributes, was (and is) subject to more or less strict rules. These books, the kind of which is also found in Europe in the early Middle Ages, have developed into a special tradition in Nepal, where a unique number of model books was found to be in existence, the oldest of them going back to the 15th century. The author of this study (the first in its kind) has traced the development in time of some 150 popular Hindu deities to determine the meaning of these model books for the artists using them, and also to see if the representation of these gods is in any way related to changes in society.

Download or read book The Presence of Siva written by Stella Kramrisch and published by Motilal Banarsidass Publ.. This book was released on 1988 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the three great gods of Hinduism, Siva is a living god. The most sacred and most ancient book of India, "The Rg Veda," evokes his presence in its hymns; Vedic myths, rituals, and even astronomy testify to his existence from the dawn of time. In a lively meditation on Siva--based on original Sanskrit texts, many translated here for the first time--Stella Kramrisch ponders the metaphysics, ontology, and myths of Siva from the Vedas and the Puranas. Who is Siva? Who is this god whose being comprises and transcends everything? From the dawn of creation, the Wild God, the Great Yogi, the sum of all opposites, has been guardian of the absolute. By retelling and interweaving the many myths that keep Siva alive in India today, Kramrisch reveals the paradoxes in Siva's nature and thus in the nature of consciousness itself.
