Rama Ekadashi Ashvina Krishna Ekadashi MahatmyaThe Ekadashi occuring in Ashvina Masa Krishna Paksha is known as Ramaa Ekadashi. The greatness of Ramaa Ekadashi is brought out in Brahma Vaivarta Purana through a conversation between Bhagavan Sri Krishna and King Yudhisthira.It has been said that this Ekadashi is a great purifier of sins. There once lived a famous king by name Muchukunda. Indra, Varuna, Yama, Kubera and Vibhishana were close aquaintences. He was a pious devotee of Lord VIshnu and ruled his kingdom without any fear of the enemy.
The Great River Chandrabhaga, happened to be born as the daughter of this Great King. She was given in marriage to Shobhana, the son of Chandrasena. Once Shobana was at his father in laws place. Ramaa Ekadashi occured while he was at this father in laws place. On the eve of Ekadashi, Chandrabhaga thought thus O God, what will happen now. My husband is very weak. He would not be able to withstand hunger. At the same time my father is a very staunch follower of Ekadashi Vrata. Every Dashami, he announces in his Kingdom with drum beats that no one should eat on the pious Ekadashi Day. na bhoktavyam na bhoktavyam na bhoktavyam harerdine....Shobhana was worried after hearing the royal proclamation. He spoke thus to ChandrabhagaO Chandrabhaga! Tell me what to do. You are my guide in this situation. Kindly give me advice so that I will not perish. To this Chandrabhaga repliedO dear, in my father's place no one is allowed to eat on Ekadashi Day. Even Elephants, Horses and other animals neither drink water nor take any food on Ekdashi day in this kingdom. If that is the case, why would Humans partake water or food on this day> If you would like to eat on this Ekadashi Day, then kindly leave this place immediately. To this Shobhana repliedDear Chandrabhaga. What you spoke is correct. I would also perform this Ekdashi Vrata. Let it happen what the fate is in store for us. Thus speaking Shobhana began to fast on the Ekadashi day. But the hunger was too hard to sustain and finally Shobhana died after sunrise on Dvadashi Day. The kind made arrangements for his last rites. Chandrabhaga sustained her body having been prevented by her father to enter the funeral fire. By the power of the Ramaa Ekadashi, Shobhana reached the abode of the celestials, a beautiful place on the peaks of Mandara Mountain. There he was glowinn like Lord Indra praised by Gandharvas and adored a majestic throne.While he was enjoying the royal grandeur there, a Brahmin from the kingdom of Muchukunda by name Soma Sharma, who was on his way to pilgrimage, happened to see Shobhana in all his majesty. He at once recognized Shobhana to be the son in law of King Muchukunda and went near him. He enquired how he happened to be here. To this Shobhana replied This was also due to the fast I observed on Ashinva Krishna Ekadashi. O Brahmin, kindly tell this to Chandrabhaga. The Brahmin reached the Kingdom of Muchukunda and told everthing about Shobhana to Chandrabhaga. Chandrabhaga, along with Soma Sharma went to the abode of Shobhana. On seeing Chandrabhaga, Shobhana received her and made her to sit on his lap. Chandrabhaga felt very happy and spoke thus to ShobhanaO Dear, please know that I started doing the Ekadashi vrata from the age of 8. This royal abode would become everlasting by the mertis accrued due to the observance of Ekdashi Vrata. Thus the two lived happily for a long long time.Having told this story to Yudhisthira, Shri Krishna says. O' King Yudhisthira, such is the greatness of this Ramaa Ekadashi. In a month, one should oberve fast on both Krishna Ekadashi as well as Shukla Ekadashi. One who listens to the Ekadashi Vrata Mahima sould definetly enjoy bliss in the abode of Vishnu.

Valmiki’s real name was Ratnakara. He was the son of Prachetasa, a sage. Before this Valmiki was a robber by profession. Later with the teachings of Maharshi Naradaru he became a Rushi.
What is Valmiki - Valmika in Devanagari means “ant- hill” Once when he was a very young boy, he had gone to the forest playing and was lost in the forest. His parents searched for him but could not trace him. They thought that the boy has been eaten by some wild animals. An hunter and his wife took the child and brought up the child as if their child. He was taught of the hunting and he learnt it fully. Later, the boy grew young and he was married to a girl from another hunter family. He got children also. When Ratnakara’s family grew with the addition of children, he felt it uneasy to maintain his family with the little income. So, he took to a new profession of Robbery and went on attacking the people for money. One day Maharshi Narada who was singing in praise of Srihari with Mahati named Veena, was passing nearby. Ratnakara, the hunter saw him, attacked him, shouted and demanded whatever he has, lest he shall brake his head. Narada was not fraightened and told him that he has only the Veena, which he offered to give. Ratnakara saw the smiling, innocent face of Narada who was never freightened and was astonished at this. On seeing Narada’s face, Ratnakara’s cruel mind also melted with kindness. Narada Maharshi sat beneath a tree and was singing Harinama sankeertana. Narada Maharshi told Ratnakara that Robbring and killing of animals is a sin job and asked him to give up that profession. Narada Maharshi told him to ask his parents, wife and children as to whether profession – Robbery is a sin or not? Ratnakara thought Narada Maharshi is trying to escape from him by sending him to his parents and tied Narada with a rope to a nearby tree and went to his house. He asked his father “I have been feeding you all by robbery and hunting. Is it a sinful job?”. His father told him that they are not happy with his profession and that they are ashamed of his robbery”. Then he went to his mother, who also gave the same reply. His wife and children also gave the same reply. Then he realized that whatever he was doing all these years was a sin and came running to Narada Maharshi and untied him from the tree and apolosized for his misdeeds and asked the Narada Maharshi as to the remedy for the atonement of all the sins committed. Naradaru taught him the “RAMA RAMA Mantra” and asked him to sit beneath a tree and chant the mantra until his return. Narada departed from Ratnakara. Ratnakara was chanting and chanting Rama mantra continuously amidst rain, sun heat, cold, hot, everything closing his eyes. He forgot himself. It went for years. An ant-hill grew all over his body like a mountain and Rathnakara was not to be seen by anybody. After several years, Narada Maharshi came near the Valmeeka (the ant-hill) cleared the ant-hill and blessed Ratnakara to be a maharshi. Ratnakara came out of the Valmeeka . That is why he is called as “Valmiki”. Who told Valmiki the story of Sri Ramachandra?One day Narada Maharshi met Valmiki and told him the entire story of Sri Ramachandra – Dasharatha’s putrakamesti yaga, Ramachandra’s birth, his education, his journey with Vishwamitra and his killing of Tataki, Subahu, his step-mother Kaikeyee’s order to go to forest, killing of Rakshaas there, missing of Seeta Devi, meeting of Hanumantha-Sugreeva, his journey to Lanka in search of Seeta Devi, killing of Ravana-Kumbakarna, and finally getting back to Ayodhya, ruling of the Kingdom, etc. What made him to write the “Ramayana” ?Once Valmiki on his way to Ganga Snaana, came across a stream “tamasa”, seeing the stream was astonished and decided to have his bath in the stream. When he was looking for a suitable place to step into the stream, he heard sweet chirping of birds, he saw two flying birds together. He was pleased to see the happy bird couple. Suddenly the male bird fell from the sky after being hit by an arrow and was wounded. The spouce bird was screaming in agony. Then he realized that the bird was hitten by a hunter. Valmiki’s heart was felt with pity. Suddenly came out from his lips, the following shloka, maa nishada pratistham tvamagamahsāsvatI: samaa:yat kraunchamithunaadekam avadhI: kaamamohitam This is the first shloka of Ramayana. It is regarded as the first shloka among all the puraanaas. He is regarded as the first Kavi or poet, i.e., “Aadi Kavi”. Ramayana is also titled as the first Kavya. Meanwhile Brahmadeva, came and told him to write Ramayana with whatever story he has listen from Narada Maharshi. He also blessed him to see whatever has happened in the past and whatever he writes will be true. Valmiki brought up the children of Sri Ramachandra – Lava and Kusha. Why?Once after Sri Ramachandra killed Ravana-Kumbakarna and brought back Seeta Devi, was ruling Ayodhya peacefully. But he heard a citizen of Ayodhya, telling that “Ramachandra had brought back Seetadevi, who was imprisoned by Ravana. Sri Ramachandra was wrong in bringing back her”. On hearing this Ramachandra told his brother Lakshmana to take Seetadevi and leave her near a sage’s ashram. Before this, once when Seetadevi was preagnant. Ramachandra asked Seetha –“ You are carrying a child. Any wish you want to fulfil from me?”. Seetha Devi told “ I don’t have any wish. But when we were living in forest, we used to go the Ashrama of Rishis but I could not give anything to Rishis. Now, I would like to spend some time with Rishi’s wives”. Raama had agreed. Considering these facts Sri Ramachandra had asked Lakshmana to leave Seeta Devi near the Valmiki Ashrama. Seetha Devi gave birth to Lava-Kusha, the twins. As such Seetha Devi was in the Ashrama of Valmiki and Lava-Kusha were brought up there. Valmiki Maharshi himself taught the children all the Veda Paataa, and adhyayana of Weapons. He also did the Upanayanam of the children. He also taught the entire Ramayana to the children – Lava & Kusha. They were singing all the time and once they sang the Ramayana in front of Sri Ramachandra when Rama came to know that they are his own sons, who were staying with Valmiki. Ramayana is said to have seven kaandaas viz.,
Vijaya dashami is celebrated in almost all parts of the country on Ashwayuja Shudda Dashami. This day is also called as the Madhwa Jayanthi Day, it is on this day that Vayudevaru made his avatara as Sri Madhwacharyaru, to condemn 21 kubhashyaas of Advaitha, Vishistadvaita, and other kumataas as per the orders of Sri hari. (As per some Madhwa Jayanthi is on Magha Shudda saptami - Rathasaptami day)
Importance of Vijayadashami - This is one of the auspicious muhurthas wherein one need not look at stars, graha, etc,, for starting or doing any shubha kaarya. On this day taaraanukoolya need not be seen for fixing the muhurtha. Vijaya Dashami is also known as Dasara or Navarathri Importance of Vijaya Dashami day as per Hindu sampradaya : 1. It is on this day that in Tretayuga Sri Ramachandra killed Ravana - When Ravana kidnapped the akruti of Jaganmaate Seeta, Sriramachandra with the assistance of Kapi Sainya, (Assistance - Sriramachandra does not need any body for his assistance, but it is their seva that they have rendered to Srihari) under the able leadership of Sugreeva and Hanumanta invaded Lanka and killed Ravana, Kumbhakarna and brought back Seeta devi. As a rememberance of the day, some youths all over the country celebrate the day by burning the huge idols of Ravana, Kumbhakarna (brother of Ravana) & Meghanada (son of Ravana) are erected and are set on fire by the enthusiastic youth at the sun set During these 10 days of Dasha-Hara. 2. Durgamaata (Mahishasuramardhini/Chamundeswari) killed Mahishasura on this only. - Once under the leadership of Mahishasura, an assura disguised as a buffaloe, attacked Deva loka and defeated swargadhipathi and other devategalu. As such, Goddess Lakshmi made the avatara of Chamundeswari (also called as Mahishasuramardhini after his killing) with ten hands, riding on a lion. The battle went on for nine days and on the last day, i.e., on Vijaya Dashami Day, the Rakshasa Mahishasura was killed alongwith his assistant asuraas. 3. Pandavaas’ agnaatavaasa samapthi - It is on this day, that Pandavaas finished thier Agnatavasa. Immediately after the agnatavasa period, Arjuna in the disguise of Bruhannale took his Ayudha from Shamee Vruksha and fought against Kauravaas in Uttara Gograhana, when they attacked Virata Nagara. Arjuna brought victory for Virata Raja. 4. Mysore Dasara Procession - It is a traditional practice in Mysore to celebrate Dasara with great enthusiasm. People from all over the world comes to Mysore just to see the Dasara Procession. (Earlier when the Kings were ruling Mysore, the kings used to sit on Ambari Elephant) Chamundeswari idol will be put on Ambari Elephant decorated with great dresses, followed by many chariots, and procession which usually will be more than 1 km will start from Mysore Palace to Mysore Bannimantap, where there is Banni Vruksha and torch light parade will be celebrated there. 5. Shamee Pooja : - “Shamee” or” banni”was the kula devate for Paandavaas and even Srinivasa also told that it is his kuladeva. शमी शमयते पापं शमी शत्रुविनाशिनि । अर्जुनस्य धनुर्धारि रामस्य प्रियवादिनि । shamI shamayatE paapaM shamI shatruvinaashini | arjunasya dhanurdhaari raamasya priyavaadini | शमी शमयते पापं शमी शत्रुविनाशिनि । अर्जुनस्य धनुर्धारि रामस्य प्रियवादिनि । shamI is paapa shamini, and shatru naashini. She had held Pandavaa's weapons when were in ajnaatavaasa. shamI praarthana - ಅಮಂಗಲಾನಾಂ ಶಮನೀಂ ಶಮನೀಂ ದುಷ್ಕೃತಸ್ಯ ಚ | ದು:ಖಪ್ರಣಾಶಿನೀಂ ಧನ್ಯಾಂ ಪ್ರಪದ್ಯೇಽಹಂ ಶಮೀಂ ಶುಭಾಂ | ಶಮೀ ಕಮಲಪತ್ರಾಕ್ಷಿ ಶಮೀ ಕಂಟಕಧಾರಿಣೀ | ಅಪನೋದಯ ಮೇ ಪಾಪಂ ಆಯು: ಪ್ರಾಣಾಂಶ್ಚ ರಕ್ಷತು | अमंगलानां शमनीं शमनीं दुष्कृतस्य च । दु:खप्रणाशिनीं धन्यां प्रपद्येऽहं शमीं शुभां । शमी कमलपत्राक्षि शमी कंटकधारिणी । अपनोदय मे पापं आयु: प्राणांश्च रक्षतु । amaMgalaanaaM shamanIM shamanIM duShkRutasya cha | du:KapraNaashinIM dhanyaaM prapadyE&haM shamIM shubhaaM | shamI kamalapatraakShi shamI kaMTakadhaariNI | apanOdaya mE paapaM Ayu: praaNaaMshcha rakShatu | Shamee Tree destroys our paapaa, it destroys our enemies. It was holding the Dhanas of Arjuna for one full year and it is Sri Ramachandra’s favourite tree. Pandavaas after being cheated by kauravaas, and having finished their 12 years “vanavaasa” (stay at forest), had to observe Ajnathavasa, (i.e., to stay in a well known place, but their identity not to be traced by any). So, in order to stay in Viratanagar, they kept all their weapons in a Shamee tree. When they returned from Ajnathavasa, the weapons were safe there, so, to express their gratitute, they started worshipping Shamee tree. The same custom is being practiced even today. Shamee is helpful for pregnant woman to prevent miscarriage. Shamee is useful for treatment of astama, bronchitis, desentery, locoderma and piles. There is a custom on Vijayadashami Day to do the pooja for Shamee Tree. People also exchange shamee leaves among other friends and elders with the shloka ”Shamee shamayate paapam………………..”. In Mysore on the Dasara procession day, i.e., on Vijaya dashami day, the Procession starts from palace grounds and ends at Bannimantap, Mysore, wherein we can find Banni trees, and which Mysore kings used to worship. Why Shamee leaves are exchanged among brahmins - People distribute leaves of Shamee tree on Vijayadasami day. In this ritual, Shamee tree leaves symbolically represents gold or sona. People present shamee tree leaves to friends, relatives and neighbours and wish happy Dasara. There is an interesting story on why shamee tree leaves are presented on Vijayadashami day. There is a story about Guru Dakshine & shamee Tree- An young brahmin named Kautsa in Ayodhya, during Tretayuga, once after completing education from Guru asked his Guru to accept a Guru Daskhina – a present offered by students to Guru named Varatantu, after completing their studies. Guru Sri Varatantu at first said he did not want any Dakshina. But young Kautsa insisted that he should take a Dakshina. Guru Varatantu to get rid of Kautsa asked him for 14 crore (140 million) gold coins. One hundred million for each subject taught. The student then went to Sri Ramachandra devaru, who was ruling Ayodhya and asked for the gold coins needed to pay his Guru Dakshina. Sri Ramachandra promised to help Kautsa and asked him to wait near the Shamee (Shamee Tree is favourite for Ramachandra). In three days time, Sri Ramachandra with the help of Lord Kuber, the God wealth, showered gold coins from the leaves of Shamee Tree. The leaves of the trees became gold coins. Kautsa collected the coins and gave 140 million gold coins to Guru Sri Varatantu. The rest of coins were distributed to the needy by Kautsa. This happened on a Dussehra day. To commemorate this event even today people collect leaves of Shamee tree and present it as gold. (From different sources) Credit: Narahari sumadhsewa When is Mahanavami or Ayudha pooja is celebrated ?“Ayudha Pooja” or “astra pooja” is part of Dasara festivals. This is celebrated on Ashwayuja Shudda Navami popularly called as Mahanavami Day. During Ashwayja Masa shukla paksha padya for nine days it is a festive period. During this period, pooja done to any devate will be fruitful. Daana – snaana – japa done during this period would give more than lakh time punya.
Whom to worship on this day ? We have to worship Durgadevi whose name is “Subadra”. Mahishasura mardini Durga with the name Chamundeswari also born on this day. As Durgadevi has 8 arms, we have to worship the weapons in her arms viz., arrow, shanka, chakra, gadha, etc. Why we have to worship weapons? On this day, if we worship the weapons which we are using, our ishtaartha siddi will be there. There will be daridrya parihara. There will not be any fear from our enemies, weapons, vehicles, fire, water, wind, thieves, etc. What is Ayudha Pooja? - It is a worship of whatever implements, one may use in our day to day life. It will also help one to maintain constant remembrance of the divine. In India it is customary for one to prostrate before the tools one will use before starting one’s work each day; this is an expression of gratitude to God for helping one to fulfil one’s duties. Almost all the weapons which we use in our day to day use like knife, scissors, stoves, and in factories all machineries, computers, vehicles will be washed and done the pooja with a request and nothing harm shall be done from these utensils and do good to everything. 1. According to Hindu purana, after the killing of Mahishasura and other rakshasas by Mahishasura mardhini – Chamundeswari, there was no more use for her weapons. So the weapons were kept aside and worshiped. This Ayudha puja is being celebrated since time immemorial.2. In ancient times, Kings and soldiers used to perform Ayudha Puja for their weapons. They considered their weapons as their protectors and as Gods. Nowadays, people related to mechanical and electrical work, keep their operators and instruments in their puja room and worship them with utmost devotion. 3. The tools and all implements of vocation are first cleaned. All the tools, machines, vehicles and other devices are then painted or well polished after which they are smeared with turmeric paste, sandalwood paste (in the form of a tilaka and kumkuma. Then, in the evening, previous to the puja day, they are placed on an cleaned platform and decorated with flowers. In the case of weapons of war, they are also cleaned, decorated with flowers . On the morning of the puja that is on the Mahanavami day, they are all worshipped along with the images of Lakshmi, Saraswathi and Parvati. We have to do the worship these deities with the anusandhana of Parvatyantargatha Shivantargatha, Saraswathi Bharathi devi antargatha Mukhyapranthargatha, Sri Lakshmi Narasimhaaya namaha After the pooja, these instruments/weapons are not to be disturbed. First do the achamana, followed by Govindaaya namaha,......... Om Sri Krishnaaya namaha.

In the granthas, there is the Sannidhana of Chaturkaparda and Ambruni (wives of Vedavyasaru) and Vedavyasa Devaru, which contains the Vishwakarma nirmita idol of paramathma. He would be humbly worshipped by Brahma, Rudra, Saraswathi, Bharathi, Garuda – Shesha, Sauparni, Vedavyasa Devaru. Sri Vedavyasa Devaru would be giving the Jnaana to all the devate and the entire world. We should also do chintana of Hayagreeva, dashaavatara roopi Bhagavan, Saraswathi-, etc., Acharya Madhwa etc. We must request them to offer Jnaana, bhakthi, vairagya and enable our mind to stay in Vishnu Sarvottama and vayu jeevottama pratipaadane.
