Our expectation from hariharji.blogspot.com

Vishnu (right-half, holding the disc) and Shiva (lighter half holding a trident) combined in a single murthi form


Saint Ushaji fondly called Boboji


Harihar is the name of a combined deity form of both Vishnu or Hari and Shiva or Har from the Hindu tradition; worshipped by both Vaishnavites and Shaivities as a form of the Supreme God.


Harihar is also sometimes used as a philosophical term to denote the unity of Vishnu and Shiva as different aspects of the same Supreme Being in the stories woven around them in Vedic and Puranic Scriptures.


One and the Same:

Due to the fluid nature of Hinduism there are varied beliefs and traditions associated to both Vishnu and Shiva. Some schools hold that Vishnu (and his associated avataras) is the Supreme God and others, that Shiva (including his different incarnations) is truly the Supreme Being.


Some argue that both Shiva and Vishnu are the Supreme God - both being different aspects of the one person; and there are others still who regard the Supreme God as being ultimately formless (advaita) and thus see both Vishnu and Shiva as different facets of the one formless Brahman.


You are eagerly desirous to know about the prospect of hariharji.blogspot.com dedicated to Boboji.Harharji were the first words she spoke on waking up in the morning.

The blog embodies the perennial quest of mankind for a divine and transcendental and becomes the paradigm of the seeker for ultimate reality.Lord Krishna is seen as the object of longing and of a love which is expressed in the cry of the enraptures soul for god, of the enraptured cowherdesses for union with their teasing, elusive and insistent paramour.


Tulsidasji wrote the Ramayana for the well being of mankind:


Yeh shubh Shambhoo-Uma samvada ,
Sukh sampadan shaman vishada .


endorses that though the Ramayana narrates Ramji’s story at large, Tulsidasji glorifies Lord Shiva as well. Thus ‘Sri Ramcharitmanas’ bridg the gaping shortcomings of the mundane world:--


A) It spans the differences between Vaishnavas and Shaivites with deep understanding. Lord Rama had asked for water from tirthas or pilgrimage sites spanning India when He established Lord Shiva at Rameshwaram before he headed for Lanka. Ramji not only blesses in verse 2 of the 'Lankakaand':


Je Rameswar darsanu karahin ,
Te tanu taji mum lok sidharahin


He sternly warns in the first verse that those who worship Him but are critical of Lord Shiva shall perish in the most frightful hell without any respite!


Interestingly the four famous dhams are Puri in Orissa, known as the Kaliyuga axis of dharma; Badrinath in Uttaranchal ,the Satyuga’s heart of dharma ; Sri Rameshwaram in Tamil Nadu, renowned as the Treta centre of dharma and Dwarka in Gujrat, the Dwapar centre point of dharma. We awaken to a world transformed by radiance as the Ramayana spans our Nation, assimilating diversified cultures from North to South and East to West in the process!


B) The Ramayana amalgamates the array of atheists and believers. Shri Ramji’s Lankan mission for killing Ravana was just an eye wash--it was in reality an integration of two different civilizations, the humans and the demonic forces. Ramji could have easily aimed an arrow from Sugreev’s kingdom to destroy the whole of Lanka.


The pivotal concept endorses that like other earthly kings Ramji did not make Lanka a part of Ayodhya because the nature of the region was totally different. He appointed Vibhishana, brother of Ravana the mighty demon, not a human as ‘Lankesh’, finding him most competent to rule demons and restore order in Lanka. During Vibhishana’s reign in Lanka the citizens became more civilized. In this manner ‘Sri Ramcharitmanas’ makes obeisance to other living beings so that the ultimate reality dawned upon them and they become friendly towards mankind


...Siya Ram May Sab Jug Jani,
Karahoon Pranam Jori Jug PaniI...


C) The Holy Scripture merges different branches of the Sanatan Dharma. The Brahma-Samaj and Arya-Samaj arrived just for a short period of time --focusing on widow-marriage or the loot of fake-pundits'. But the Sanatan Dharma has a distinctive ethereal flavour. While Arya-Samaji merely believe in Vedas the Sanatan Dharmis deeply revere the sacred Scriptures since they originated from Brahma after Lord Vishnu's instructions. Hence on Sri Ramji's majestic Coronation the Vedas and Lord Shiva perform Alleluia :


Nij Prabhumay Dekhanhi Jagat Ka Sun Karahin Virodh ( UTTARKAND )


Lord Vishnu incarnated as the Matsya-Avtara solely to save The Vedas from humans !


Since hariharji.blogspot.com ensures that Goswami Tulsidassji's ‘Sri Ramcharitmanas’ will be constantly referred to I am delighted to quote the last doha, 130-B from Tulsiji:“Seekers who devoutly take a plunge in the holy Ramcharitmanas or the intellectual lake detailing the exploits of Lord Rama will experience an ever-cooling balm without being scorched by mundane rays ."



Thus if we create hariharji.blogspot.com as pristine as the Ramayana we shall be paying true tribute to Tulsidasji and humanity at large. I have high hopes from this site because of Saint Ushaji’s blessings.
