Narada Guru of Vyasa Compiler of Vedas


http://vedasinfo.blogspot.com/



When Srila Vyasadeva finished writing the Vedas he was not satisfied. Then, Narada Muni came and instructed him to write Srimad Bhagavatam. Srila Vyasadeva was a great devotee, and a detached monist, whose mind was transcendental to mundane activities. But he was feeling incomplete after writing the Vedas. His Guru, Narada Muni, gave him the solution to his despondency. He instructed him to describe the Almighty Lord's activities which will mitigate the miseries of the masses. This is how he wrote Srimad Bhagavatam

Shaktism in Narada Purana


ShaktismShakti form has a significant part in the Narada Purana. Radha is the most prominent deity associated with Krishna among mother goddesses. The other deities are described as facets of Radha, Lakshmi, Durga, Saraswati, Savitri and Devi.

In consonance with Narada Radha is understood to have been born from Krishna`s body. She is living in Goloka. She is occupying a Tejomapdala (halo of light). Goddess Lakshmi took birth from the left of Radha`s body, while the Gopis from the pores of her skin, and Vishnumaya from the right side of her body. Savitri, Saraswati and Gopas arose from Krishna`s navel, mouth and the pores of his skin respectively. Lakshmi, Durga, Savitri and Sarasvati, are identified as Radha’s manifestations .

As per Narada Parana, Lakshmi is described as Kamalavasini who took the form of Sri to destruct demons. She resides in Aravinda to fulfil everyone’s desires. She is construed as goddess of wealth. Three incarnations have been outlined her that of Bala Tripura, Annapurnesa, Bagamukhibrahati.

The three-eyed goddess Durga was born from Krishna`s body. She was married to Lord Shiva. Goddess Durga, who created Devloka, a celestial world is believed to do reparation there and is acclaimed with three incarnations. Durga is regarded as the main source of all the creation and of all the goddesses.

Narada mentions Savitri as the four-faced Brahma who took birth from the navel of Hari. She is the originator of all the gods, who is seated upon a parrot. She is Brahma’s wife, and after meditating upon her, he created the movable and immovable creatures.

According to the Narada Purana, Saraswati, took birth from Krishna`s mouth, and was sent to Vaikuntha to reside with Lakshmi and Narayana. Her incarnations include Mahasaraswati, Kalika, Tara and Devi. In Narada Purana, Devi is considered as the greatest Shakti of Shiva. She is the protector and the mistress of the world.

Sage Narada considers Radha as supreme female deity and assays the other deities to be partial incarnations of her. It was Narada, apparently, for the first time, attributed avataras to the avataras.

Mango Prize / Pic / Purpose


Sage Narada once visited the divine court of Lord Shiva at Mount Kailash. Lord Shiva was with his consort, Goddess Shakti, and their two children, Lord Ganesha and Lord Subrahmanya. Sage Narada gave Lord Shiva a mango fruit and told him that it was a special fruit, the fruit of wisdom.

Lord Shiva wanted his children to have the fruit of wisdom. However, when he offered it to them, Sage Narada asked that the mango not to be cut in two to be shared between the two sons, lest the power be diminished. Now, as a result, they had to decide who should have it. Shiva and Shakti decided that the son who first circles the Earth would get the fruit. Immediately accepting the challenge, Lord Murugan, started his journey around the globe on his divine vehicle, the peacock or mayil.

Lord Ganesha, who believed that his parents were his world, circumambulated Lord Shiva and Goddess Shakti and claimed the mango fruit. Lord Subrahmanya returned to Mount Kailash, only to find that Lord Ganesha had already won the contest. Lord Murugan felt he had been deceived and decided to leave Mount Kailasam. He reached to top of what is today called “Pazhani malai” (the Hill of Pazhani) and set up his abode there.

Goddess Shakti and Lord Shiva rushed to the hill and tried to pacify their son, calling him, Gnana Pazham Nee appa (in Tamil, “you are the fruit – Pazham; of wisdom – Gnana”). Hence this place came to be called Pazhani, or Palani.

Narada Muni and Hunter / Result

Narada Muni came with one of his friends whose name was Parvat Muni. Narada Muni had become Mrigari’s guru, his spiritual guide, so when Mrigari saw them approaching, he started running toward Narada Muni, and as he was running, on the forest pathway he saw tiny little ants crawling. He stopped, and he very humbly waited for the ants to cross. Then he continued on his journey to his guru and he bowed to his feet. When Parvat Muni saw this, he looked at Narada and said, “Just see what the association of a saintly person can do to a person’s life. This most cruel-hearted murderer! Now he has become so gentle and compassionate he will not even cause harm to an ant.”
