ESSENCE OF NAAM / MANTRA JAP (Hymns Chant) IN KALIYUG

Kaliyug, the baddest and most distressful time among the living creatures since many years. It has been written in our scripts that this particular age will be treated as "Demon or Evil" since there is no sake of love, religion, humanity and respect towards the individuals.

As in this age, people's interest towards the almighty tends to reduce throughout this age simultaneously hatred also increases between the living beings.

There is no question about that each and every individual is going far from the god and forget its basic aim of living life.

We forget why we are here in this world?

People must not forget that we are here to get rid off from our good and bad deeds (karma) done in the past, on behalf of which we are suffering a lot. We have to complete our cycle of living and death so as to mix, from where we started (the god).

For reducing the impact of karma (by burning it) we have to do some efforts so that we can balance our account to zero. Means there will be no positive deed as well as negative in our accounts.

Earlier Yuga like Satyug, Treta yuga & Dwapar yuga were different. Those ages were totally different as compared to Kaliyuga. People live thousand to lakhs years at time which decreased to 100 in Kaliyuga.

So for achieving our aim in this black period, our beloved god reduced the level/labor required by an individual to a certain level which is quite easy as compared to earlier times.

KALYUGA NAAM ADHAR HAI meaning of it, in this period if a person only chant the name of god viz mantras, hymns, verses, he/she can easily achieve the god and later on attain a certain stage known as Salvation (moksha).

However in other ages, the process for liberation was very tough. People used to meditate for years so as to wash off their sins, deeds so as to achieve its aim. But with respect to this black age god also reduces the level and allows only Mantra Jaap as a tool (chanting of versed/hymns) for the liberation in which the soul from the body moves towards the holy feet of the god and will never comes in the process of living or dead.

WHY IS LORD HANUMAN SOMETIMES DEPICTED AS MARRIED

The details of this celestial event are found in the manuscript written by Parasara Maharishi in his book Parasra Samhita. Sri Parasara Maharishi had written the life history of Lord Hanuman from his birth and goes on to depict his life even after the Ramayana.

According to Parasara Maharishi, Hanuman had worshipped Surya Bhagwan (the Sun god) as his Guru and studied the Vedas and mastered the Nine Vyakarnas. Being an Aajanma Brahmachari, Lord Hanuman was not eligible to study the Nava Vyakarnas (nine grammers) for which the status of being a grihastha (married man) was essential.

In order to facilitate the completion of his education, the Trimurtis approached Surya Bhagavan and created a beautiful Kanya, Suvarchala Devi, an Aajanma Brahmacharini, from the Sun's Kiranas (rays) and arranged a marriage with Hanumanji to make him a Grihastha without Brahmacharya being affected. Whereby he learnt and became a genius in the nine vyakaranas (sanskrit grammar). These details can be found in Parasara Samhita.

There is also a sloka called 'Hanuman Mangalashtakam' depicts the Lord thus and runs as follows:

suvarchalaa kalathraaya chaturbhuja dharaaya cha
ushtraa roodhaya veeraya mangalam sri hanumathe

The meaning of the above sloka is: "Salutations to Lord Hanuman, having four arms, accompanied by His consort Suvarchala Devi, seated on a camel and exhibiting extraordinary valour."

The text further describes Suvarchala as the daughter of Sun-God, Surya, from whom Anjaneya learnt the Vedas.

At the temple at Thailavaram, the moolavar is eight feet tall. The Lord holds the customary mace in his hand that he rests on his right shoulder. His left hand is placed on his hip. The utsava moorthi of Anjaneya is with his consort Suvarchala Devi. The Lord is depicted with four arms and is descriptively called Suvarchala Devi Sametha Chaturbhuja.
