Title-Chandrashekara Ashtakam Album-Sacred Chants On Shiva And Shakti Artist-Kosmic Music Lyrics-Sage Markandeya Sage Markandeya was saved by Lord Shiva of certain death at the age of 16 by killing the God of death. This stotra is supposed to have been sung by the sage after that. Rathna sanu sarasanam, rajathadri srunga nikethanam, Sinchini krutha pannageswarachyuthahana sayakam, Kshipra dhagdha pura thrayam thri divalayairabhi vanditham, Chandra shekaramasraye mama kim karishyathi vai yama. I seek refuge in Him, who has the moon, Who made the mountain of jewels in to his bow, Who resides on the mountain of silver, Who made the serpent Vasuki as rope, Who made Lord Vishnu as arrows, And quickly destroyed the three cities, And who is saluted by the three worlds, And so what can the God of death do to me? Pancha paada pa pushpa gandhambhuja dwaya shobitham, Phala lochana jatha pavaka dagdha manmatha vigraham, Basma digdha kalebharam, bhava nasanam, bhava mavyayam, Chandra shekaramasraye mama kim karishyathi vai yama. I seek refuge in Him, who has the moon, Who shines with the pair of his lotus like feet, Which are worshipped by the scented flowers of five kalpaka trees, Who burnt the body of God of love, Using the fire from the eyes on his forehead, Who applies ash all over his body, Who destroys the sorrow of life, And who does not have destruction, And so what can the God of death do to me? Matha varana mukhya charma kruthothareeya mahoharam, Pankajasana padma lochana poojithangri saroruham, Deva sindhu tharanga seekara siktha jatadharam, Chandra shekaramasraye mama kim karishyathi vai yama. I seek refuge in Him, who has the moon, Who is the stealer of minds because of his upper cloth, Made of the skin of the ferocious elephant, Who has lotus like feet which are worshipped, By Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu, And who has matted hair drenched by drops, Of the waves of the holy river Ganga, And so what can God of death do to me? Yaksha raja sakham bhagaksha haram bhujanga bhooshanam, Shila raje suthaa parish krutha charu vama kalebharam, Kshweda neela galam praswadha dharinam mruga dharinam, Chandra shekaramasraye mama kim karishyathi vai yama. I seek refuge in Him, who has the moon, Who is friend of Lord Khubhera, Who destroyed the eyes of Bhaga, Who wears serpent as ornament, Whose left part of the body is decorated, By the daughter of the king of mountain, Whose neck is blue because of the poison, Who is armed with an axe, And who carries a deer with Him, Lyrics & translation credit: VEDANTA SPIRITUAL LIBRARY.

 | The Iranian Origin of Croats - Philology http://www.iranchamber.com/history/articles/common_origin_croats_serbs_jats.php t is unfortunate that Dr. Sahib Singh Verma, Union Labour Minister, was not allowed to attend the recent World Jat Conference in Belgrade ("Sahib Singh wanted to visit Serbia to meet fellow Jats, PM put his foot down and spiked his bonding-in-Belgrade plans", Indian Express, 21/9/2003). Sad indeed, because there actually do exist strong connections between Jats, Serbs and Croats. Several historians view these communities as sharing a common ethnic origin as is evident from a study of the following submissions. Philology: Croats as Hrvatis Let us commence our investigation with the Croats. The science of linguistics provides several connections with Iran. Thus, the Croats of Croatia call themselves "Hrvati" and their country "Hrvatska", whence the Croatian domain name on the internet is .hr. The name "Hrvati" is derived from the Avestan province "Harahvaiti" (Greek: "Arachosia"). The scientific philological argument for the identification of the Croats with the Haravatis is given in (Sakac 1955, pp. 33-36; Sakac 1949, 1937) As Dvornik notes, "P.S.Sakac thinks that he discovered the name 'Croats' in Darius' inscriptions from the sixth century B.C. There an old Persian province and people are mentioned, called Harahvaitai, Harahvatis, Horohoati..." (Dvornik 1956, p.26) Further, the Roman leader Ammanius Marcellinus mentioned that two cities arose in ancient Persia called Habroatis and Chroates. In this regard, Prof. Mandic writes, "The Croats of the Don, then had to come in ancient times from Iran. On a stone inscription of the King Darius (522-486 B.C.) the nation of the Haruavat-is appears among the 23 subject nations. The Persian sacred books of the Avesti (Vendidad) call that nation the Harahvaiti. The provinces settled by that nation encompassed in those times the southern half of modern south Afghanistan, the whole of Baluchistan and the eastern part of modern Iran. In that ancient province ought we to look for the paleo-fatherland of the modern Croats." (Mandic 1970, Chapter 1) Furthermore, the name of the Croatian capital, Zagreb, is related to the Zagros mountain range of Iran. The Dinara mountains in Dalmatia and the Dinar currency may be connected to Mount Dinar (Dene) of Iran. The name Serbia is similar to the Seropi or Surappi River in Elam. Moreover, certain authorities note that the name of the Carpathian mountains is derived from Croatia: "Here the Iranian Croats mingled with the numerous local Slavic tribes and adopted the Slavic language from them. Meanwhile after the collapse of the Hunnic Empire the Croats organized the local Slavs into a state and gave them their national name. Before the invasion of the Avars ca. 560 the White or Western Croats created along with the Antes a great state extending north of the Carpathians from the upper Elbe to the upper Dniester. (35: Niederle, 263-266; Dvornik, The Slavs, 277-297) R. Heinzel is of the opinion that the Carpathians of the old Germanic Hervarsaga took their name from the Croats who called them the Harvate mountains i.e. Croatian mountains. (36: Heinzel, 499; Dvornik, op. cit., 284, sq.)" (Mandic 1970, Ch.1) Indeed, philologists trace the migration of the Croats from Harahvati (Arachosia, Sarasvati) in the following manner using fossil place-names along the path of migration: * Harahvaiti and Harauvati in Iran and Afghanistan * Hurravat and Hurrvuhe in Armenia and Georgia * Horoouathos in Azova and the Black Sea * Present day Croats Horvati and Hrvati along the Adriatic It is important to note that the Avesta - the sacred scriptures of the ancient Aryan Zoroastrians - mentions the lands settled by the Iranic peoples. Hapta-Hindawa (ie. the Punjab, "Sapta-Sindhu" in Prakrit) is mentioned in the Avesta amongst the Irano-Aryan lands. Even today, the Punjab is the primary home of the Jats. Since the Croats are named after the Harahvaiti or Sarasvati River, and the Jats are the present-day inhabitants of the lost Harahvaiti, it would appear that Jats and Croats would be very closely related indeed. |
