1. An excellent interpretation of the Draupadi Vastrapaharana incident. Another view on this incident that perhaps has a scary message for today's situation is possible.


2. We must remember that the Kauravas went after Draupadi at the very last. Even the land had been taken away. The destruction of the Pandavas would be complete with the violation of Draupadi.

3. As Sri Madhwa says - "सर्वविद्या द्रौपदी तु" - Draupadi was the embodiment of knowledge/education. For the complete annihilation of a civilization, the takeover of territory is not sufficient. The knowledge of that civilization must be destroyed.

4. This violation and damage to education is done by Duryodhana - embodiment of ignorance and other evils - अज्ञानादिस्वरूपस्तु कलिर्दुर्योधनः.

5. But in this endeavor he is facilitated by two - Dushasana and Shakuni - the embodiment of vipareeta-jnana and nastikya - विपरीतं तु यज्ज्ञानं दुःशासन - नास्तिक्यं शकुनिर्नाम
significance & worship to be performed on a rare combination occurring Jan 12th

In the culture of Bhāratadēśa, ‘Time’ has great significance. Tithis, days of the week, stars – everything has its own distinction. All the beings are bound by time and time is in the control of God.


With compassion, the Supreme God graced that one performing worship in some special stipulated times acquires special merits. This is true in case of every deity. Worship of a particular deity on a particular tithi bestows the grace of that particular deity quickly and certainly.

Among those, Kr̥ṣṇāṁgāraka Caturdaśi is imp. The combination of Tuesday & Caturdaśi in the dark fortnight is a great occasion.

विरिन्चिशक्रविष्णूनां मनुष्याणां तु का कथा ।
तेन त्वं सर्वसत्त्वेन ग्रहराजो महाबलः॥

Not only present as one among the nine planets, Aṅgāraka..

Aṅgāraka (Mars) planet is the king of all the planets. The reason for this is mentioned below that Aṅgāraka is the son of Śiva.

Skānda Purāṇa mentions that a waterdrop fell on the earth from Paramēśwara deeply immersed in tapas from which came a red-complexioned boy.

Author:Brahma Ji(Brahma Khand, Skanda Mahapurana)

Mahakaleshwara at Ujjain is one of the Dwadasha Jyotirlinga, which is associated with Libra(Tula) Rashi. It is he who causes the exaltation of Saturn (Shani-Deva).


A prayer at this Jyotirlinga is bound to bless one with health & life as Shiva in the form of Mahakala is pacified. Saturn is the Dharmaraja of a chart & its deity is Yama who never fails in upholding Dharma.


So this Saturday, I present this stuti with pictures of Hanuman Shringar of Mahakala so that the combined blessings of Mahakala & Hanuman bestow kripa of Shani-deva upon you all.

ब्रह्मोवाच -

नमोऽस्त्वनन्तरूपाय नीलकण्ठ नमोऽस्तु ते ।
अविज्ञातस्वरूपाय कैवल्यायामृताय च ॥ १॥

ब्रह्माजी बोले-हे नीलकण्ठ! आपके अनन्त रूप हैं, आपको बार-बार नमस्कार है । आपके स्वरूपका यथावत् ज्ञान किसीको नहीं है, आप कैवल्य एवं अमृतस्वरूप हैं, आपको नमस्कार है ॥ १॥


नान्तं देवा विजानन्ति यस्य तस्मै नमो नमः ।
यं न वाचः प्रशंसन्ति नमस्तस्मै चिदात्मने ॥ २॥

जिनका अन्त देवता नहीं जानते, उन भगवान शिवको नमस्कार है, नमस्कार है । जिनकी प्रशंसा (गुणगान) करनेमें वाणी असमर्थ है, उन चिदात्मा शिवको नमस्कार है ॥ २ ॥
