Salabeg

SalaBega was the son of the Mughal subedar, Lalbeg, his father on one of the military excursions, came across a young widowed Brahmin taking bath at Dandamukundapur. Fascinated by her youthful beauty, Lalbeg forcibly abducted her. He had fallen in love with her. He then married her and they had a son called SalaBega. SalaBega was their only son. SalaBega’s mother still missed her Lord Jagannath and kept her devotion secret to all. But she was happy with her new life as well. As soon as he was old enough, SalaBega took up fighting in his father’s campaigns. Once in the war, Lalbeg got killed and SalaBega was badly injured and was battling for life. His mother worshipped Lord Jagannath a lot and he got cured miraculously. This incident made SalaBega a devotee of Lord Jagannath Feeling greatly indebted to Lord Jagannath, amazed and thrilled he went to Puri to see Lord Jagannath. However, due to the distrust between both the communities, the priests didn’t allow SalaBega to enter the temple. SalaBega didn’t fight or opposed them. Rather he transformed into a devotee and what’s a devotee without patience and test? He waited for the annual Chariot festival, the Rath Yatra where Lord Jagannath, Goddess Subhadra and Lord Balabhadra are brought out onto the Bada Danda and travel to the Shri Gundicha Temple, to their maternal aunt’s temple, in huge chariots allowing the public to have darsana or the holy view. They stay there for nine days and travel back to the Shree Mandira. So every year he kept a watch for the chariot, he built a small hut on that road and it’s the Mazar now. During the rest of the year, he kept visiting religious places. On a particular year, he got delayed in coming back to his hut from Vrindavana, as on the way he suddenly fell ill. Feeling helpless and realising that he would not reach Puri in time to see the Ratha yatra festival, he offered prayers to Lord Jagannath petitioning him to wait until he arrived Rath Yatra was already approaching. An anxious SalaBega cried out to Lord Jagannath and he had a dream in which the Lord promised him that He would wait for him. So when the chariot of Lord Jagannath reached near the hut of SalaBega, it refused to move even an inch. People tried to pull it harder but nothing happened. They even got elephants to push the chariot but a devotee’s devotion kept the wheels of the Lord glued to the exact place till long seven days. By then, the King of Puri and all priests were worried. The head priest got a dream telling him not to worry, the Lord was waiting for his favourite kid! So for 7 days, all rituals of Lord Jagannath, all pujas were done on the Chariot itself. SalaBega came at last. This time, nobody stopped him from going closer to the Lord. He went and had his darshan, and worshipped the Lords. Although the poet was denied entry into the temple, his descriptions of the inner compound and the sanctum are among the most detailed and accurate in the devotional literature of Odisha. His song ‘Ahe Neelashaila(Oh Bluestone lord)…’ is perhaps the best description of Bedha Parikrama, or the prescribed circumambulation of the Jagannath Temple. In his composed book – “Yamin” he composed his bhajans while living at the same place for the rest of his life His devotion was such that even the devotional songs, he wrote are sung as morning prayers in the sanctum sanctorum till date. The famous one’s being “Ahe Nila Saila”. Thus, the title conferred on him is “Bhakta Kavi SalaBega” or the Devotional Poet SalaBega. After his death, his mortal body merged with his Lord. This mazar or samadhi is of the greatest devotee of Lord Jagannath – Bhakt SalaBega. After his death, Salbeg was cremated at this very location where now lies his Samadhi – at Badadanda in Puri’s Grant Road. SalaBega occupies a permanent position among the devotional poets of Odisha who devoted his life for Lord Jagannath. Till this day, as a remembrance to the unwavering commitment and dedication and devotion of SalaBega, the Chariot is made to stop in front of the Mazar. It’s a beautiful way to show the world that your birth, caste, creed, nothing matters to Lord Jagannath. If you have faith enough to surrender, he has love enough to accept you: it’s always between you and your Lord, don’t bother about the world rules. Love and devotion are personal, there is no space for mundane stuff in it. His deep devotion has intensity and passion, outstanding even in the devotional literature of the Bhakti era. The relationship between SalaBega and Lord Jagannath would be remembered for times ahead for his devotion towards Lord Jagannath and the Loving Lord’s equal reciprocation towards him. This is why people from all the corners of the world participate and witness the Rath Yatra Festival, the Annual Festival of The Lord to connect to the Lord directly and to receive his unadulterated love and blessings.

The critical analysis of the problem of creation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is proposed. The unity of formal logic and of rational dialectics is the methodological basis of the analysis. The main results of the analysis are as follows: (1) the model of man represents the unity of the two material aspects: “physiological body” (controllable aspect) and “psychical body” (controlling aspect); (2) the “psychical body” is the subsystem “subconsciousness + consciousness”; (3) in the comprehensive sense of the word, the thinking is an attribute of the complete system “physiological body + psychical body + environment”. (3) in the broad sense of the word, thinking and creativity are an essential feature of the subsystem “subconsciousness + consciousness”; (4) in the narrow (concise) sense of the word, thinking and creativity are the attribute of the instinct of the conservation (preservation, retention, maintenance) of life (i.e., the self-preservation instinct, the survival instinct); the instinct of the conservation of life exists in subconsciousness; (5) the instinct of the conservation of life is a system of elementary (basic) instincts; thinking is the attribute of the each elementary instinct; (6) the mechanism of thinking and the essence of creation cannot be cognized by man; (7) a computer as a device cannot think and create (in particular, it cannot prove theorems) because a computer does not have the subconsciousness; (8) the modeling of human thinking, Human Intellect, and the creation of AI and AGI are the impossible because the essential properties of the complete system “man + environment” cannot be cognized and modeled; (9) the existence of AI and AGI conflicts with the essence of the thinking; (10) the existence of AI and AGI contradict to formal-logical and rational-dialectical laws. to be continued.

आदि शङ्कराचार्यरचित चर्पटपञ्जरिका स्तोत्र का पद्यानुवाद

पिंचरवत देह की अर्चना

-अवधेश कुमार सिन्‍हा द्वारा अनुदित एवं पद्यबद्ध

(1)

प्रात: संध्या दिवस और रात,
शिशिर-वसंत अनुपम सौगात.
समय-रथ-चक्र – घर्घर नाद,
कहीं  आह्लाद– कहीं  विषाद.
आत्म-विभोर-मन  दंभी  रोर,
समस्त जग में वैभव का शोर .
प्रिया-परिजन-सर्व-जग-विनश्वर,
नर- नारी -रूप  :अर्द्धनारीश्वर .
रति-राग  मद  जीवन -वसंत,
सुरम्य वितान – परिणय प्रसंग.
जीवन के ये,  मोहक आयाम ;
पर अस्थायित्व-मय,ये दु:ख-धाम.
दस्तक दी  सहसा  एक छाया,
अपरिचित रूप देख जी घबराया.
‘बोली वह ! मैं  जीवन- सत्य —
क्षणभंगुर दुनिया नहीं अमर्त्य.
समय अति अल्प करो तैयारी,
भज गोविन्द ! जाने की बारी.
त्यागूँ कैसे -कनकाभ-प्रासाद ?
प्रिय-परिजनों से शेष -संवाद.
साथ दुर्दम्य विकारों की बोझ,
बंध-ग्रंथियां देतीं, जन्म कुरोग.

(2)

उर समक्ष कर, अग्नि- सेवन
 पार्श्व-भाग से, रवि-रश्मि लेहन
 धरा लिपटी, ओढ़े शीत-वितान,
 चिबूक-ठेहुना पे रख, निद्रा-ध्यान.
 हस्त-तल श्रेष्ठ,यति -भीक्षा-पात्र;
तरु -सघन तल, आश्रय दिन-रात .
अतृप्त-इच्छाओं का,नर्तन -घर्षण-
देतीं मोहमाल,क्षरण होते शांति-क्षण
रे मन ! सर्व भूल, भजो घनश्याम :
भव-भय-हारक, दायक दुर्लभ धाम.

(3)

हे प्यारे ! सदा भज ! कृष्ण ललाम-
जग के परम-आश्रय ! पूरण-सर्व-काम.
मत भूल ! परिजन -इष्ट-मित्र अपार –
करते संबंधों का, सर्वदा क्षुद्र- व्यापार.
जब समर्थ-वित्त-अर्जन, था प्रिय-जन –
पूजित-पुरूष-महिमामय,सर्व गुण-रत्न.
अशक्त क्षीण-काय, जर्जर निरूपाय-
जग-दृष्टि बदली : अब अपूत  काय.

(4)

जटा- जूट सुशोभित-भाल : या मुंचित-केश;
गेरुआ-परिधान -म्लान वदन या शोक की रेख
जग-बीच या जग से बाहर,बूंदें सम पद्म पर्ण पर
जठराग्नि -ज्वाल, भर-मुठ्ठी-अन्न के लिये बेहाल.
हे प्यारे ! भजो : गोपाल ! गोपाल ! दीनदयाल. २

(5)

तनिक भी गीता-ज्ञान, गंगा-जल के बूंदों का पान –
ब्रजबिहारी- हे मुरारि ! कह करता- करूण पुकार :
सुन मृत्युदेव ठमक जाते, करना  कार्य-अनिवार,
क्षण में  श्रीकृष्ण प्रकट हो- हरते दु:ख अपार.
अभय-मन  सदा भजो प्यारे ! गोविन्द  बारंबार.२

(6)

गलित-अंग-पलित-मुंड -दशन-विहीन विवर तुंड;
 वार्द्धक्य की भार प्रचंड, ढोते कम्पित हस्त-दंड.
 आशा-लता -प्रबल बाढ़, वृद्ध अभी रहा दहाड़.
 अनश्वर- संसार-पाश,समक्ष देख यम- त्रास.
 भूल संसार ओ मूढ-मति, सदा जपो मधुराधिपति.२

(7)

क्रीड़ा-मय बाल- काल, युवक रति- राग निहाल.
 बृद्ध शोक-चिन्ता-मग्न, तनिक नहीं   -ब्रह्म-लग्न.
 त्याग धन-संसार–बंध, सदा जपो प्यारे यशोदानंद.
 त्याग धन-संसार-बंध, जपो प्यारे सदा यशोदानंद.

(8)

बार- बार मातृ- कुक्षि- निवास, असह्य वेदना पुन: जन्म- त्रास.
मरण- दुसह दु:ख -हाहाकाऱ, पुनर्जनम की व्यथा -कथा-अपार.

त्राहि माम् हे श्रीपति- ज्योति साकार,  हे नाथ ! करो भव पार

भज गोविन्द-गोविन्द ! नर सरल-चित्त ! करो आश ईश -सर्व निमित्त.

(9)

पुन: दिवस पुनश्च रात, पुन: पक्ष पुनश्च मास.
पुन: अयन पुनश्च वर्ष, तदपि न विगत आशामर्ष.
ममता आशा जीवन-बंध, भज प्यारे केवल गोकुलानंद.
भज-भज प्यारे राधा-श्याम! सद्गति दायक श्रीघनश्याम.

(10)

गत-आयु -नहीं काम-शैलाब, वारि विहीन -कैसा तालाब ?
बिना वित्त  -कैसा परिवार, सत्य-दर्शन फिर क्या संसार ?
जीवन के ये मंत्र अमोल – शोधि-शोधि सदा  मुरारि बोल.
सदा जपिये जय गोकुलनाथ, वे अनाथों के सर्वदा  नाथ.

(11)

वक्ष-उरोज नाभि चारू चितवन, मांस-वसादि विकार भवन.
वाह्य चर्म सुघर मनोहर रूप, रक्त-मल-मूत्रादि-तन–बदरूप
प्रति- पल कीजिये सोच- विचार, सतत भजिये  नंदकुमार .
माया – मोह के संहारक नाथ, बार- बार कहिये -श्रीयदुनाथ.२

(12)

आये कहाँ से इस जगत में, क्या तेरी- मेरी पहचान ?
तात-मात हैं कौन हमारे -क्या जग का अनुपम-अवदान?
संसार है –यह छल-छद्म असार, यह सत्य जीवन का सार.
जपिये पल-पल गोविंद नाम, परम आश्रय श्रीकृष्ण ललाम.२

(13)

गाइये गीता-नाम-सहस्त्र-बार,ध्यान में रखिये सदा नंदकुमार.
 सुधी-संत-संग सदा श्रेयस्कर, दरिद्र- तोषन-पोषन  अघहर

श्रीगोविन्द सम मानते इन्हें सुजान, करते सदा इनका सम्मान.

गोविन्द – गोविन्द गोविन्द का ध्यान, है महामंत्र -मुक्तिगान.२

(14)

प्राण- वायु जबतक शरीर में, स्नेह कुशल-क्षेम पृच्छक गेह में.
विगत प्राण- वायु  शव भयंकर, नही  प्रिया लगाती  अंक भर.
यह जीवन का शाश्वत सत्य, प्रति पल गोविन्द भजो हे मर्त्यं !
पल-पल गोविन्द भजो हे मर्त्य ! केवल गोविन्द भजो हे मर्त्य ! २

(15)

काम-क्रीड़ा रति -समागम, आरंभिक सुख बाद में दु:ख -आगम.
मृत्यु पथ पर नर सदा आसीन, तदपि क्यों  पापाचार में लीन.
संसार नश्वरता का परम आगार, नही स्थायित्व नहीं आधार.
हर पल जपिये करूणानिधान, सर्व सशक्त -सबसे  बलवान .

(16)

चिथड़ों से विरचित-कन्था-माल, डाल गले में यति- निहाल.
जान पुण्यापुण्य का परम रहस्य, नहीं मैं- नहीं तू है सत्य.
परम प्रकाश सर्व  समाहित, सोऽहम समष्टि भेद अनुचित.
लब्ध परम तत्त्व -फिर कैसा शोक,भज गोविन्द बनो विशोक.

(17)

होता अफलित गंगा- सागर-स्नान, व्रत का पालन अथवा दान;
जब तक गोविन्द का नहीं आदेश, व्यर्थ कोटि दान- तप- कलेश.
साज्ञा  सफल होता सर्व कर्म, स्मरण : गोविन्द, मनुज का धर्म;
सतत भजन गोविन्द का नाम, कुंठा- मुक्त विगत संचित काम.

Varahamihir.

 Varāhamihira, also called Varāha or Mihira, was an ancient Indian astrologer, astronomer, and polymath who lived in Ujjain. He was born at Kayatha, in the Avanti region, roughly corresponding to modern-day Malwa, to Adityadasa. According to one of his own works, he was educated at Kapitthaka. 

Varāhamihira's most notable works were the Brihat Samhita, an encyclopedic work on architecture, temples, planetary motions, eclipses, timekeeping, astrology, seasons, cloud formation, rainfall, agriculture, geology, mathematics, perfumes and many other topics. According to Varahamihira, in some verses he was merely summarizing earlier existing literature on astronomy, Shilpa Sastra and temple architecture, yet his presentation of different theories and models of design are among the earliest texts that have survived. The chapters of the Brihat Samhita and verses of Varahamihira were quoted by the Persian traveler and scholar al biruni. 

Varāhamihira is also credited with writing several authoritative texts on astronomy and astrology. He learned the Greek language, and praised the Greeks (Yavanas) in his text for being "well trained in the sciences". Some scholars consider him to be the strong candidate as the one who understood and introduced the zodiac signs, predictive calculations for auspicious ceremonies and astrological computations.
