NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 71 - KESHI AND VYOMASURA VADHAM

Dasakam - 71 - Keshi and Vyomasura Vadham

Keshi, a close friend of Bhoja king Kamsa was never unsuccessful in any of his attempts. He took the form of a horse and started from the land of Sindhu, thinking to himself, Krishna is easily accessible to the lady(Mahalakshmi) who came out of Sindhu(ocean), likewise Krishna will be accessible to him as well. He took the form of celestial horse but his fierce voices frightened the three worlds and went on a rampage attacking people of Gokula. Finally he came and stood in front of Krishna.

Keshi kicked the chest of Sri Krishna, whose legs are kept on his vehicle Garuda, with his hooves. Having heard the story of Sage Bhrigu kicking Lord on his chest, Keshi thought perhaps, even he can do so. Krishna caught and took the horse by its hooves and threw him far. Keshi fainted but then sprung back with more anger and fury.

Deciding to punish the horse, Krishna kept his club like arm in to its mouth. The arm grew in size and choked Keshi to death. Though he was a demon in the form of horse, he became one with Lord immediately. Indra and all other Gods were happy merely at the killing of the horse and considered it to be equivalent to Ashwamedha sacrifice done by Krishna. They gave Krishna with name, "Keshava" meaning killer of Keshi and sang his glory.

Sage Narada introduced Krishna as son of Vasudeva to Kamsa. Kamsa set out to kill vasudeva immediately. Narada verbally prevented Kamsa from killing Vasudeva. At the end of Keshi Vadham, Narada met Krishna and sang his glory.

One day Krishna was playing hide and seek with Gopas in the forest. At that time, son of Mayan, Vyoma who has immense magical powers approached Krishna. Gopas were playing thief and police, when Vyomasura acted as thief in the game and hid the cows and gopas in a cave and closed its entrance with a stone. Krishna understood the situation and killed him and freed the cows and gopas.

Krishna made Vraja a happy place for the gopas with his amazing sports and actions. Bhattathiri prayed to that supreme Lord who made the people of Vraja happy, to protect him from his afflictions.

NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 70 - SUDHARSHANA SAAPA MOKSHAM, SANKACHOODA AND ARISHTA/VRISHABA VADHAM

Dasakam - 70 - Sudharshana Saapa Moksham,

Sankachooda and Arishta/Vrishaba Vadham

After the blissful rasakreeda with gopikas, Krishna went to Ambika vana along with Nandagopa and other gopAs to offer prayer at Sri Parameswaran temple. After performing the divine festival in the night, Krishna and the gopas slept comfortably, a huge snake swallowed Nandagopa. The snake looked up fiercely. Gopas tried to hit the snake with huge logs but it would not simply release Nanda. Gopas surrendered to Krishna and prayed for protection. Krishna went near the snake and touched it with his foot. With Lord's touch, the snake released Nandagopa and took the original form of Vidyaadharan.

Vidyaadharan introduced himself as Sudharshanan to Krishna, the wielder of sudarshana chakra. He said that he was cursed to become snake by divine sage Aangeerasa for having teased him while he was in meditation. When he asked for forgiveness, he was told by sage that he will get back his form only when Krishna touches him. That was the reason, he caught Nandagopa. Sudharshanan thanked Krishna and  prayed with beautiful hymns and left to swargaloka. The gopas happily returned to Vraja.

Once when Krishna and Balarama were playing with gopikas, Kubera's emissary, Sankhachooda kidnapped few gopikas. Krishna and Balarama gave a wild chase and in fear, Sankhachooda left the gopikas and ran away. Krishna caught him, killed him and snatched his crest jewel Choodamani and gifted it to Balarama. Krishna was having good times with Balarama and gopas in the forest during the day time.Krishna looking very attractive, enjoyed playing his flute. This was a wonderful sight for the celestial damsels. Gopikas suffered from the pangs of separation from Krishna and kept lamenting.

Arishta was a demon and servant of Kamsa. He was cruel and evil and terrific in appearance. He took the form of a fierce bull and came bellowing horribly and stood before Krishna. He was chasing all the cows and causing trouble to gopas and finally encountered Krishna, the repository for Vedas. The asura was ready to attack Krishna with his frightening horns but Krishna, though asura came in the auspicious form of Vrishaba, held the horns and attacked him swiftly and killed him.

Devas and divine gods were happy and praised Krishna as the protector of Righteousness or Dharma by slaying Arishtasuran who came in vrishaba form. In Sanskrit, Rishaba means bith Dharma and bull and called him the protector of Dharma. Gopas chased the bulls on the way home for fun, asking them to run as the slayer of bull is with them. Thus Gopas and Krishna reached home happily. Bhattadiri worshipped the Lord, the slayer of Vrishabasura or Arishtasura, to protect him from his afflictions.

NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 69 - RASAKREEDA VARNANAI

Dasakam - 69 - Rasakreeda Varnanai

Narayana Bhattathiri closed his eyes in meditation and thinking, how a seven year old boy could have done rasakreedai with the young women and continued his bhajans. Hearing the rhythmic beats, he opened his eyes. To his amazement, Lord was enacting the rasakreedai at the sanctum of Guruvayoor temple and Bhattathiri continued singing in the meter corresponding to the rhythm of the dance enacted.

With peacock feathers adorning his hair lock and dancing fish shaped ear-drops, pearl ornaments and variety of garlands on his neck, sandal paste on chest and golden ring around his hip over the yellow silk dress, stone studded shining anklets on the feet; Lord danced spreading his sweet fragrance everywhere. Bhattathiri meditated on the above form of the Lord.

The gopikas, who were dressed in their best with beautiful ear-drops, surrounded Lord (Guruvayoorappa/Krishna) Padmanabha, the consort of Lakshmi. Krishna took many forms and moved in such a way that he was there between two gopikas and one gopika between his two forms alternately. Raasa means dance or it can also be taken as enjoying the sweet divine form of the Lord. 

Sage Narada pleased with the rasakreeda enacted at Sri Guruvayoorappan sanctum, invited devas, apsaras and beautiful damsels to witness the most beautiful dance. Hearing his call from afar, devas and the celestial women dressed in their best, adorned with jewelry rushed from heaven and gathered along the skies.

The music emanating from the flute was showcasing the beautiful key notes and alapanas of the raga of the song played. Matching to the tune, Krishna danced with rhythmic foot steps and he was accompanied by gopikas who were making matching sounds with their bangles. Krishna was sporting his lotus like hand on the shoulders of the gopikas time and again and his waist cloth moved swiftly while dancing. Bhattathiri, at this point, calls out to the people (us) to pray to Lord, who is doing the rasaleela. 

The song reached higher octaves successively and dance matched the sweet music accordingly. The ornaments wore by them shifted from their places due to dancing and even that appeared beautiful. Devas, celestial women who were watching this feat without batting their eyelids, showered flowers and got engrossed in the rasaleela, driving them to divine ecstasy.

One of the gopikas who was slender like a flower creeper became tired of dancing and with drooping eyes fell on Krishna's attractive shoulders. Another one with falling hair locks on her forehead, took his hand, which had the fragrance of fresh sandal paste and kissed it aggressively in ecstasy with goosebumps all over her body. 

A virtuous gopika wearing dangling earrings, pressed her cheek against Krishna's cheek and enjoyed the nectar like juice of the betel chewed in his mouth. By dancing with Krishna, Lakshmi's sporting field and the most beautiful one in the universe, the gopikas were driven to higher states of intoxication and heights of supreme bliss.

The song concluded gradually and so are the percussion instruments. The gopikas however, were soaked in divine bliss were still seen dancing in circles, totally not conscious of themselves. The constellation of stars in the sky too stood still watching this feat. Bhattathiri went speechless at this point.

Krishna soaked the entire universe in divine bliss and ecstasy through his rasakreeda and completed it. Then entire body of the gopikas were glowing with drops of perspiration due to dancing and they were totally in pure consciousness of the Lord. Due to the virtues of gopikas, Krishna took as many forms as the number of gopikas present there and performed this great festivity.

The women of vraja were exhausted and hence Krishna gently took them to river Yamuna and sported with them. In the forest, surrounded by beautiful mountains with cool breeze and trees spreading fragrance of variety of flowers, Krishna gave those numerous women, the ecstatic joy.

Thus Krishna immersed the gopikas in the supreme consciousness and bliss in the midnight with his mercy, which otherwise was achievable only by  yogis. By this act, Krishna made even Brahma, Shiva and other gods to respect the gopikas. Bhattathiri prayed to the Lord, whose beautiful form is achievable only by his devotees, to protect him. Lord Guruvayoorappan acknowledged his request immediately by his nod.

NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 68 - RASKREEDAI - GOPIKA GEETHAM

Dasakam - 68 - Rasakreedai - Gopika Geetham

Krishna appeared before the Gopikas all of a sudden and seeing him, they stood like a statue and fully drowned in the immortal bliss. One of the Gopika took his lotus flower like hand and placed it on her bosom and stood like that for a long time with her body experiencing goosebumps.

One of the gopikas, took his arm and put it around her neck as if she was trying to avoid the vital breath going out of her neck in the pain of separation. One another Gopika, out of her extreme love, without inhibition, took the chewed betel leaf from Krishna's mouth and put it in hers and felt she has attained the supreme bliss.

One of them stood gazing at Krishna with anger in her tearful eyes, as if to ask him the reason for his abandoning of her in the forest. All the gopikas made a seat for Krishna in the banks of river Yamuna with their upper drape tainted with saffron colour. Krishna sat on it with all splendour and shining glory.

Gopikas questioned Krishna as to what type of mercy he is showing to them. While some may show mercy to all, some only to people surrendering to them, Krishna didn't even show compassion to gopikas who gave up house, family, everything for Krishna and surrendered to him.

Krishna smiled at them enchantingly and asked them not to suspect that he is hard-hearted and said that he was afraid of losing their love. He disappeared so that he can make their minds fixed on him continuously. He promised to Gopikas, that none other than them are dear to him and so asked them to enjoy the beautiful moon-lit night along the river Yamuna with him happily without any hurdle.

Gopikas joy found no limit at his declaration and they sported all night along with full of enthusiasm. Bhattadiri prayed to the Lord who had sported Rasaleela, to end his sufferings and was duly acknowledged by Sri Guruvayoorappan.


PS: This is the equivalent of Gopika geetham in Srimad Bhagawatham.

NARAYANEEYAM - DASAKAM - 67 - RASAKREEDAI - GOPIKA GARVA PRASAMANAM

Dasakam - 67 - Gopika Garva Prasamanam

Krishna sported with the gopikas on the moon-lit banks of Yamuna in the autumn and they were drowned in the ecstasy and supreme bliss. They were immersed in the bliss so much that they fell victim to pride and self-importance. Each one of the gopikas thought that Krishna, the Lord of three worlds, Lord of Lakshmi who charms the whole world is engrossed in her. Krishna in order to curb their pride and later bless them, disappeared all of a sudden.

Krishna identified Radha who had no pride or self-importance in her heart and took her along with him to a far off place and sported with her. After Krishna disappeared, gopikas fell in to the pangs of separation. Together all of them, started to search for Krishna in the forest and were grief-stricken as they could not find him.

Gopikas frantically cried out to every tree, creeper, fruit, flower which came in their way if they had seen their lotus eyed Krishna. They were totally devoted to the Lord and kept lamenting. One of the gopika cried out that she saw Krishna in her imaginative vision and this doubled the grief for the rest. Gopikas identified themselves with Krishna so much that they started to imitate Krishna in talk and actions.

While gopikas kept searching for Krishna, they found Radha rani, who went with Krishna initially but eventually got separated from him due to her pride. Then together all of them went searching for Krishna, till late evening. Then all of them, came back to the banks of Yamuna and kept singing praises and talking about Krishna's glories.

Krishna, the ocean of mercy, appeared before the grief-struck women of vraja, sporting an attractive smile with mercy in his eyes. Gopikas could not really believe their eyes when Krishna re-appeared before them and wept in joy and relief from the pain of separation. Bhattathiri prayed to the Lord, who removed the miseries of gopikas, to protect him from his disease and afflictions.

NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 66 - RASAKREEDAI - RASALEELA BEGINS

Dasakam - 66 - Rasakreedai - Rasaleela Begins

The beautiful eyed gopikas approached Krishna with lot of love. Krishna had decided to fulfill the desire of those beautiful women, however initially spoke to them as if he was not in favour. Sages had assembled in the skies to see the rasaleela. Krishna started to advise the duties of the good family women to the gopikas loudly so that even the assembled divine sages in sky could hear. Bhattathiri at this point reminds that one should follow the words of the Lord, which are always in accordance with dharma and not try to practice few of his pure minded actions as they cannot always be classified under right or wrong category with our little knowledge.

Hearing Krishna's unfavourable words, Gopikas felt sad and helpless and requested him not to forsake them. Hearing their cries and rantings, Krishna with his great mercy and compassion towards them indulged himself in the sports of passion with the gopikas in the moonlit banks of Yamuna.

The banks of river Yamuna looked beautiful in the moonlight. Gopikas offered a seat for Krishna made with their drape and he sat on it. Krishna held their hands and spoke sweetly and playfully and embraced them. Gopikas were immensely pleased and happy. Thus Krishna fulfilled the desires of gopikas, as promised by him on the day he snatched their clothes and scared them, while they were sporting in the river. Gopikas were transported to an ecstatic world with Krishna's ever enchanting smile and by embracing him who is the Lord of three worlds.

Bhattathiri mentions that when one gets separated from Krishna, it causes unbearable pain to the heart. When one is with him, he is an absolute embodiment of love. When in union with him like these Gopikas, they reach a state of extreme delight and bliss. Addressing Lord as the one who always yearns to be one with Radha, Bhattathiri requested Lord to take mercy on him and remove his sufferings. Lord Guruvayoorappan acknowledged his request promptly.

NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 65 - RASAKREEDAI - GOPIKAS RUSHING TO THE FOREST

Dasakam - 65 - Rasakreedai - 

Gopikas rushing to the Forest

Krishna had promised gopikas at the end of the Kathyaayini pooja that he would spend time with them on the moon-lit autumn nights in the banks of river yamuna. One cold night, in the luminescence of full moon, in the forest on the banks of the river Yamuna, Krishna took his flute and started to play sweetly. The ascending and descending seven musical notes that emanated from the flute enchanted the whole world and hearing it from far, Gopikas instantly got attracted to it.

When flute was played by Krishna, few gopikas were taking care of their babies, few others were serving food to their husbands, few others were engaged in household chores. The gopikas captivated by Krishna's flute, abandoned all the work and rushed to the forest to see him. Some of the gopikas dressed themselves well adorning jewellery. Some rushed half adorned with jewels, carrying rest in the hand and these gopikas looked more beautiful to Krishna's eyes.

One charming faced Gopika in hurry to meet Krishna, put the necklace in her hip and waistband on her neck, as if to clearly indicate the attractiveness of her hips. One in her excitement to see Krishna, forgot her drape and carried only her intense love. Few Gopikas were prevented from leaving the house by their husbands, relatives. They meditated on Krishna with such a deep devotion that they left their physical bodies and merged with Krishna. They were the most lucky ones to attain salvation.

Gopikas merely rushed to Krishna abandoning their homes not thinking him as Paramatma but thinking that he is their lover, still they attained state of liberation which even the divine sages cannot attain easily. Those gopikas soaked their mind in the supreme bliss and meditated on it with great difficulty, that they attained salvation so easily.

The beautiful damsels of vraja were looking at the smiling and compassionate face of Krishna who showed unlimited mercy. Bhattathiri worshipped the one and only Lord who steals the heart of all and requested him to cure him of his afflictions.

NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 64 - GOVINDA PATTABHISHEKAM

Dasakam - 64 - Govinda Pattabhishekam

After witnessing several feats of Krishna including lifting of Govardhana mountains, Gopas considered Krishna as the Lord of the Universe. They prompted Nandagopan to check Krishna's horoscope to ascertain the facts. Nandagopan happily shared what Sage Garga has predicted about Krishna's glory, when Krishna was an infant. This made the Gopas show greater respect and love to him than before.

Indra, head of devas, after being disgraced, understood his folly and came down to earth with his divine cow, Kamadenu. With his pride shattered, Indra put his bejewelled crowned head at the lotus feet of Krishna and sang his praises. The divine cow Kamadenu with deep flowing love for Krishna, did Abhishekam with its milk, giving the name Govinda to Krishna. Elephant  Indra brought his elephant Iravatha carrying Ganga jal in his trunk and anointed Krishna with it with great delight. Krishna is the Lord for the three worlds. Having made him the Lord for the Gokulam, the vraja bhoomi attained prosperity equivalent to Vaikuntha, due to Krishna's grace and glory.

Once, Nandagopan after observing Ekadashi fasting, went to river yamuna on dwadashi day at a very early morning time. An asura, a servant of Varuna took away Nandagopan to Varuna loka. Krishna who came to earth in human form to kill the evil, went to Varuna loka to bring his father back. Surprised at Krishna's arrival at Varuna loka, God Varuna welcomed him with great respect and begged pardon for the servant's mistake. Krishna returned with his father to Gokula immediately. Nandagopan narrated the incident to the Gopas.

The gopas now firmly believed that Krishna is Lord Hari himself and requested him to show his abode, Vaikunta. The state of supreme bliss, form of Lord in Vaikunta which is not attainable easily was shown to Gopas. The great ocean of liberation was complete and overflowing with blissful nectar. Gopas soaked in that ocean for a very long time and were brought back to the conscious world later by Krishna.

No other incarnation revealed Lord's Vaikunta to the devotees with ease, but only in Krishna incarnation, when he came as a cowherd boy, the unattainable abode was revealed to devotees clearly like a gooseberry in one's palm. Bhattathiri worshipped such an incarnation of Lord Guruvayoorappan and requested to protect him from his afflictions. Lord immediately acknowledged his request.

NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 63 - GOVARDHANODHARANAM

Dasakam - 63 - Govardhanodharanam

Above the land of Vraja, clouds were seen on all directions. Thunderbolt was heard continuously and was spreading faster which scared the people of Vraja. The colour of the clouds were as dark as the skin of Krishna, which enthused him. Rain started pouring, accompanied by big hail stones. Gopas were terrified with the torrential rain and understood that it was due to the anger of Indra. They requested Krishna to protect them from Indra who cannot be won easily by anyone. Hearing their laments, Krishna assured them once again not to fear.

Krishna said that Govardhana mountain is their protecting deity, So undoubtedly,  it will only protect Vraja from the wrath of Indra. Smilingly saying thus, he uprooted the Govardhana mountain. Krishna lifted the mountain in his lotus flower like finger and held it like an umbrella standing on a soft sand bed  of the mountain where rain water cannot reach. The entire gopas, cows and calf took refuge under the lifted mountain.

While holding the mountain in his tender hands, Krishna engaged himself in amusing conversations with the cowherd boys and girls. He pampered the cows by patting them constantly. Gopas were delighted watching Krishna's actions. They wondered, how Krishna is able to hold such a huge mountain on his tender left arm for such a long time. Was it due to the glory of the mountain itself?, they questioned Krishna.

Indra was surprised too but then thought that Krishna, merely a boy, cannot bear the weight of such a huge mountain for long and hence will drop it down for sure. With contempt, Indra made rain pour continuously for seven days. Krishna did not stir from his position. The clouds exhausted all its water and the wind (vayu) pushed the clouds afar. Indra noticing all the above, got really scared and ran away.

Rain stopped and Gopas slowly came out of the shelter along with cows and calves. Krishna put the Govardhana mountain back to its place. Gopas hugged Krishna in happiness, praising him for protecting them from the wrath of Indra by his mighty action. Devas praised Krishna's mighty action and recollected how Krishna carried the earth in his varaha avatar and protected the earth from sinking in the ocean. For him, lifting this Govardhana hills was not a difficult task at all.

Bhattathiri worshipped Krishna of such glory to protect him from his afflictions which was duly acknowledged by the Lord of Guruvayoor.

PS : Govardhana Leela symbolises Jnana and Bhakti. Basic need for Jeeva is to hold to the Lord. Small finger with which Krishna holds the mountain symbolises Sathva Guna, which can be enhanced only bu Saadhu sangham. Our Indriyams are coaxed by desire, which is represented by the rain. - From Guru Savitri Renganathan mami's explanation during Sapthaham - 2017.

NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 62 - GOVARDHANA POOJA

Dasakam - 62 - Govardhana Pooja

Once Gopas were arranging pooja for Indra and started to collect material for it. Krishna belonging to the Surasena clan, decided to humble the pride of Indra. So Krishna in all humility and politeness asked his father Nanda and gopas, the reason for this effort. Nanda maharaj told that Indra only gives rain to earth which constitutes water for drinking and growing of green pastures, both of which are life supporters for the Cows tended by them. So it becomes necessary to please him every year.

Krishna sweetly refused the above statement of Nanda and said that the rain is not given by Indra, it happens due to past actions of the living beings. He further pointed out that in the big forest, the trees do not offer anything to Indra for rain. Krishna then, explained that it is Govardhana hill which is giving the green pastures and water to the cows. Therefore to have prosperity it is necessary that Gopas pray to Govardhana Hill and worship the learned holy Brahmins who are even greater than Devas.

Hearing Krishna's words, Nandagopan and the gopas then honoured the learned Brahmins and performed yagnya and offerings to Govardhana hill, circumambulated the hill and prostrated to the govardhana hill with great reverence. Krishna himself became the soul of the mountain and accepted all the pooja and offerings.

Krishna told gopas that Govardhana hill having personally accepted all of their offerings, even if Indra got angry with gopas, the mountain will protect them from his anger. All the inhabitants of Gokulam were happy to hear this and went back home along with Krishna. Devendra got the message that yagnya offering to him was prevented by Krishna. Even though, he was aware who Krishna was and whose mercy got him the high position among Devas, still unable to overcome the rajo guna of his mind, got furious.

With his pride ruling his head, Indra set out to win Krishna. Indra reasoned that Lord Sri Hari, the slayer of asura Madhu, himself in human form disrespects gods and devas, then it is an insult to the glory of the devas. Hence decided to destroy the prosperity of Gopas. He released deluge causing clouds along with thunder and came riding on airavat elephant with the thunderbolt in hand, followed by agni and vaayu. Bhattathiri wondered at the way the Lord's maya caused affliction of mind.

Seeing the rain clouds, Gopas became scared. Krishna convinced them that Indra's anger will not cause any destruction to Gokula. They have the mercy of the learned Brahmins and Govardhana hill which will surely evade their sorrows. Having said, Krishna waited for the arrival of Indra. Bhattathiri  requested Lord Guruvayoorappan, slayer of Mura, to eradicate his ailments and protect him.

PS - Govardhana is itself Krishna only. By doing pooja to Govardhana, Krishna does pooja to himself. 

To do pooja to God, one must be Sattva like God. - From Guru Savitri Renganathan mami's explanation during Sapthaham - 2017
