Sri Vinayaka Chaturthi - Rare Sharadesha Trishati from Vinayaka Tantram

[K.N.RAMESH]

Dear All,

Greetings and Namaste. As Vinayaka Chaturthi falls on Friday (25/Aug/2017), I am delighted to share a rare Trishati (300 names) of Lord Sharadesha taken from Vinayaka Tantram. The brief Phalashruti mentions that one who recites this hymn gets all enjoyment and wealth in this world and attains emancipation.

Readers might remember that in Vinayaka Tantram, Lord Vinayaka is also praised in the form of Sharadesha (consort of Goddess Sharada, i.e. Saraswati) with Ashtottaram, Trishati, Sahasranama, Hrudayam and Kavacham. I had shared the Ashtottaram a couple of years ago.

This Tantram praises Siddhi and Buddhi, the consorts of Lord Ganesha, as none other than Lakshmi and Saraswati respectively. Lakshmi Ganapati is one of the sixteen forms of Mahaganapati (Shodasha Mahaganapati). Readers might also remember that Brahma Vaivarta Puranam hails Lakshmi and Saraswati (and Ganga) as the consorts of Lord Vishnu. Readers also might remember that Lord Kartikeya is praised as the consort of Saraswati in the famous Shatru Samhara Trishati. This doubtlessly will be confusing for the befuddled who perceive each of these forms as different.

There is no need to split hair over hallucinations. We saw last year that Lord Narayana claims that Lord Vinayaka is Lord Krishna himself (Brahma Vaivarta Puranam, Prakriti Khandam). This is pellucidly explained in Garuda Purana, there is only one God - Lord Vishnu; all other forms are He himself in different forms.

Lord Krishna mentions the following in Uddhava Gita (Chapter 2)

svamAyayA sRRiShTaM idaM sadasal laxaNaM vibhuH | praviShTa Iyate tattat sa rUpo .a gnirivaidhasi || 2 - 47 ||

(Meaning: The omnipresent Lord, pervading this gross and subtle universe created by His own Maya, acts in the shape of different things like fire in the combustible things)

We have seen innumerable quotes from various puranas that the one and only Parabrahman takes many shapes and names and it is only those dull-witted who imbue difference among them.

May We pray to Lord Vighna Nayaka on the Vinayaka Chaturthi day with this beautiful prayer.

Dear Sri Ramesh,

I liked the interesting lyrics of the sharadesha trishati you shared with us.

Can you also give info on any available recording of someone who has recited/sung this sthuthi?

Thanks

P. Vasu
