Amoghasiddhi Description

Amoghasiddhi


Amogha has two words combined such as A and mogha. Mogha means useless and failings and if we keep A before mogha it becomes opposite meaning. Then it means from use less to usefulness and unfailing. Amogha and Vishnu means same thing. Vishnu is made by Vish and Anu. Vish means poison or useless and Anu means nectar or useful. Vishnu is the god who makes impossible to possible. Siddhi means accomplishment, achievement and perfection. Amogha siddhi means unfailing achieved wisdom.

He is all accomplishing wisdom (Newari Sanskrit: Krityanusthan Gyan). He is Buddha of air element. Air is always moving which never stops. Air makes our mind playful. It brings happiness or sadness anytime suddenly. Mind is so playful that it plays all types of thinking, imaging, planning etc. It is playing on all types of good and bad subjects. It has power to change good to bad and bad to good. We should always choose for good one. It can make us god by good thinking, compassion, mercy and patience. It can spoil us as demon as anger, jealousy, pride, envy etc. It can teach us from the knowledge of past happened, awareness, suggestion etc. It can take care as parents by protecting us from dangers. Air element begins the activity to achieve knowledge.

Perfection is possible only if we are experiencing. Experiencing is not an easy job. We have to try again and again until we get succeed. Even though we lose we have to take knowledge from it so that we can improve it for next time. This Buddha always gives us new chances to be good. As parents give pardon to their children for any mistakes, if someone repents from his mistake then this Buddha gives opportunities to change from bad to good. All the duties are opportunities to gain merit and to be good. Whenever we get chance to do good for others we have to do it same time without selfishness.

This Buddha is taking care of all creatures as his children. He is teaching and showing us good paths to get peace and pleasure. But some children do not listen to parental guiding and teaching. So, he is very patient that any time the children repent from the mistake he gives pardon and new chance to follow good path. Some children want to learn by experiencing themselves. After they do mistake he again tries to teach them and does not blame them. They may become in good after. Parent always hopes for good.

He is Buddha of activities so he is symbolized by Vishwa vajra. He is always practicing for accomplishing the wisdom. He knows all dimensional knowledge. He is gaining knowledge by experiencing. He knows wisdom of being gods, demons, teacher and parents and all. Whatever we make in our mind we are practicing for achieving it. Universal activity is the maker of all Buddhas because he gives life to lifeless essence. Activity of breathing gives sensation to our soul to wake up from sleep.

This world is the best of all possible worlds. All activities are happening for being best. We have to hope for good always. It is better to adjust or adapt in this world. We can find heaven after doing good works and hell doing bad works in this world. So, our purpose should be for being good from bad.

He is placed in the north of stupa. He is facing towards north. He is riding on Garuda (Mythical Vulture) who can see poisonous snake from far distance. He is only one Buddha that sits on multi headed snake bed. This means he finds the way to be comfortable even in the unfavorable conditions. Positive thinking keeps us comfort, content and happy. Garuda and snake is a big enemy but they are together with this Buddha. If snake harms the innocents then Garuda punishes the snake. This also means that even though our mind is thinking positive and negative, we have to decide for positive thinking. He is represented by nose as a sensational organ which can smell. And which is used for breathing. His right hand is in Abhayavara mudra(gesture) which means granting for no danger and fear. He is always protecting all the innocents. He is also protecting all those people who repent from their mistakes.

Chhepu

Chhepu Chhepu is a god who protects us from evils and dangers. His image is kept at the top of door in torana or at the top of window at the main entrance of temple. His image is also kept over the images of gods and goddesses. We can see a huge terrifying face and two hands grabbing big snakes and eating it which means eliminating poisons of universe. There is a moon or third eye on his head it means the wisdom of Buddha. There are horns like a sheep has which is symbol for stupidity and strong determination. There are wings on his hands it means he is flying in the sky. He is a wrathful form of Avalokiteshwora. Shortcut story: From the emptiness consciousness appears as Avalokiteshwora. He then created earth and creatures. At the last he created people with his own divine qualities because he was unhappy with other creatures as they were not developing themselves. People are promoting and developing themselves because they are intelligent. They can work and eat. People were improvi...

Newa- The originals

-
 Editor's word- "This is an article on Newa, an ethnic group of people who's origin is Kathmandu. Here in this article I am trying to share the history and myths of Newa origin in my own narration. This is based on what I heard from scholars, elders and debates. Furthermore, it is based on some mythological books I read and what and how it could possibly be the origin of Newa. Narration will start from the origin of kathmandu valley but the examples as a proof would be spoken on some old events older than the origin of the valley, that has a readon. The article is entirely based on speech format rather than formal writing. Entire land of Nepal and Himalayan region were like the lands titled as "tapovan- the sacred land favourable to practice meditation and to escape from worldly activities". The geographical structure of Nepal made it more attractive place since the myth. This entire region was magical that every where it was beautiful and blissful. It was called...
