Paishacha Vivaha In Hindu Religion

Paishacha Vivaha is one of the eight types of marriage legally valid in Hindu religion. This is a non-acceptable form of marriage in Hinduism. At the lowest run is the paishacha marriage, in which a sleeping or unconscious girl is forcibly snatched and married. Although force is applied in both the types, Paishacha and Rakshasa marriage, yet the unconscious state of the girl or her guardians has given it a separate category. According to Manu, the law giver, when somebody rapes a sleeping or inebriated girl secretly, it is known as paishacha marriage. Yajnavalkya describes it in other words as cohabiting with a girl by deceit and fraud, and it becomes paishacha type of marriage. It was thoroughly uncivilized and barbarous method and was named as such because in northwestern India the paishachas were living in ancient times.

Arsha Vivaha In Hindu Religion

Arsha Vivaha is one of the eight types of marriage legally valid in Hindu religion. In the Arsha Vivaha, the bridegroom gives away one or two go-mithuna to the bride’s father and accepts the bride. It was believed that the go-mithuna so received must be used only for the yajna ritual. According to Vira-Mitrodaya, this was not a price for the bride as its quantity was limited. Avinash Chandra Das opines in his book ‘The Rigvedic Culture’ that when a girl was married to a rishi, owing to his spiritual excellence, the marriage is known as arsha. However, it is not clear how the giving away of go-mithuna is to be  linked therewith. If the daughter is given away for the rishi’s spiritual merit, how could the gift of go-mithuna be associated with it? Manusmriti has raised the point that the gift of go-mithuna is not proper even if the price is only meager.

Vivarana Prameya Sangraha

Vivarana Prameya Sangraha is a text that elucidates the Vivarana tradition. The text is based on Padmapada’s Panchapadika, a commentary on Brahma Sutras. Bharatitirtha-Vidyaranya (14 th century CE) is the author of Vivarana Prameya Sangraha. It is clear from the textual evidence that Vidyaranya was a disciple of Shankarananda and Vidyatirtha. Historians have identified him with Madhavacharya, the author of Panchadasi and Sarvadarshana Sangraha, who was a minister of King Bukka I of Vijayanagara. The major dialectical text in this tradition is Panchapadika Vivarana of Prakasatman, in nine chapters, called varnakas; it summarizes the basic tenets of the Vivarana School. The first four varnakas discuss the import of the first sutra and the vishaya (content) and prayojana (reason) of Vedanta inquiry, the nature of avidya (ignorance) and its removal. The fifth varnaka explains the second sutra, and deals with the nature of the Brahman. The sixth and seventh varnakas explain the third S

Prajapatya Vivaha In Hindu Religion

Prajapatya Vivaha is one of the eight types of marriage legally valid in Hindu religion. According to Asvalayana Grihya Sutra, the kind of marriage in which the married couple is asked to observe a religion together is known as prajapatya vivaha. Gautama and Manu also adhere to the same view. The name of Prajapati is linked with this marriage type, which makes it clear that it was intended for procreation and riddance from the paternal debt. In another work named Vira-Mitrodaya, mention has been made of certain binding conditions due to which the authors of Dharmasastras have considered it as proper, however, placed it fourth in order of merit. This makes it clear that the prevalence of marriage should have been among the aristocrats and educated gentry of the society, and with the advent of child marriages it would have disappeared.  

Thampuranottu In Kerala Temples

 Thampuranottu is a ritual observed in Hindu temples in Kerala. The ritual is usually performed in the Madan Kovils in South Kerala. Thampuran is the main deity in the temple. The ritual includes Ganapati Stuti, Naga Stuti, Noorum Pallum offering to Nagas, Bhadrakali stuti and Poopada. Villadichchan pattu is also held as part of Thampuranottu. Sapta Kanyakas of Thampuran are awakened by singing songs in the rituals. The sapta kanyakas are Kannan Thurkkanni, Nadukalilkanni, Uyirmindakanni, Padakkanachi, Velippozhikkani, Nattattinkkani and Ottapanthu Thozhi. Next it is imagined that the Sapta Kanyakas has been sent to Kannyakumari in a chariot. After this Ulakudaya Perumal, a friend of Thampuran, is awakened by singing songs. The music for the songs is provided by Nanthuni. The Sapta Kanyakas are then brought back from Kannyakumari. Next, Ammanamadi Thananirtham Pattu ritual is performed before Thampuran. After this the Ucchabali ritual is performed. Next Ashtadikpalakas ar

Daiva Vivaha In Hindu Religion

Daiva Vivaha is one of the eight types of marriage legally valid in Hindu religion. In Daiva Vivah, the father gives away his daughter, dressed in silk and embellished with ornaments and so on, to the ritvik (priest in charge) of the yajna. According to Baudhayana Sutra, the girl was given away as dakshina to him during a Daiva Yajna, and hence it was called daiva vivaha. In consideration of services rendered during the yajna, the priest often asked his patron king to give away as brides, pretty girls or maids who were known as vadhu. However, it was not a proper marriage. This custom was prevalent among the three varnas or classes of Hindus, as kanyadana to the priests.

Control Speech For Spiritual Success – Story Lord Buddha And Son Rahul

Lord Buddha realized that his son, Rahul, often wavered from truthfulness. Lord Buddha then told Rahul through the story of an elephant that people attain welfare when they control their speech. One can attain spiritual success only through control of speech. Lord Buddha said: ‘Rahul, please listen to me carefully. Long ago, a king had a huge elephant. That elephant was very powerful and had the strength of five hundred ordinary elephants. Whenever that elephant went to the battlefield, it was the custom to tie weapons like axe and sword to the tusks, legs, and other parts of that elephant. Also, they used to tie an iron ball to its tail. No one could escape from that elephant in the battlefield. ‘The mahout was very happy that the elephant’s body was simultaneously being protected and destroying the enemy’s armies. However, the mahout realised that just one arrow could hit the elephant’s trunk, put it off-balance, and cause great danger. Hence, the mahout had trained the elephant

Asura Vivaha In Hindu Religion

Asura Vivaha is one of the eight types of marriage legally valid in Hindu religion. Asur Vivah is that in which the husband gives as much wealth to the bride and he relatives as he can, and marries her. In this category of marriage the main consideration was the wealth (money) so given. It other words, it was, a sort of bargaining. However, as compared to paishacha and rakshasa type, it was better and more civilized kind. Such examples are to be found in Rig Veda, where, for the consideration of the money received, the daughter was given away to anyone without any thought about his worthiness or incapability. Samhitas have condemned the infidelity and treachery of a purchased wife. This custom was prevalent during the Mahabharata period. Bhishma had obtained brides for the Kuru princes by paying their fees. Perhaps this was almost a custom then. Gradually, as marriage acquired a religious character, the authors of Sutras considered the acceptance of money by the bride’s father as i

Vitanda – A Type Of Debate In Hinduism

Vitanda is one of the three kinds of disputation in Hinduism. Three different kinds of debates are recognized in Hindu traditional lore. They are vida, jalpa, and vitanda.   The purpose of vada is to find out the truth. There is no question of who wins. Generally the discussions between the teacher and the students fall in this category. Jalpa is a mode of discussion wherein one party tries to beat the other by hook or by crook. The purpose is not necessarily to expound the truth. Generally, knowing full well that what they argue is wrong, people sometimes engage in discussions. The third and final method is vitanda, wherein the party never comes out with his own opinions. It only rebuts the views of opponents. Finally, the president and the audience are left to come to their own conclusion about the result of the proceedings. This method of arguing is very difficult. It requires sound knowledge of all other branches of learning. Only very few authors chose this method to expound

Bhagavad Gita Chapter VIII Verse 16

All the worlds, O Arjuna, including the realm of Brahma, are subject to return. But after attaining Me, O son of Kunti, there is no rebirth. (Bhagavad Gita Chapter 8, verse 16). Everything is subject to time, the all-destroyer. And time means change, coming and going, birth and death, creation and destruction. Therefore, where time rules there is no rest. All the spheres, all the worlds, or lokas, are subject to time. Heaven will pass away and earth will pass away. But One will remain eternally. That is the Deity, the Spirit. Time cannot attack Him. He snatches high and low, strong and weak, young and old, but (though he has a thousand arms) time cannot reach up to the Spirit. God is beyond time, space and causation. He is never subject to change, and in Him alone we find rest. In Him alone is our true home, our resting place, the end of our journey. In other spheres we live and enjoy for thousands of years, but it comes to an end. We reach those worlds or heavens through good karma,
