33 koti Dev


मित्रांनो !!!!

हिंदूंचे 33 कोटी देव आहेत असे का म्हटले जाते? ते खरेच संख्येने 33 कोटी आहेत का? - या संदर्भात वाचनात आलेली ही माहिती :- 
 
मुळात हिंदू धर्म हा जगातील एकमेव विज्ञान-निष्ठ धर्म आहे. यात एकही गोष्ट "उगीचच" या सदराखाली येत नाही. तरीही जर तसे वाटले, तर निश्चितच समजावे कि आपले ज्ञान कमी पडतेय.
 
३३ कोटी या शब्दाचा जो सरळ-सरळ ३३ करोड असा अर्थ लावला जातो, तो चुकीचा आहे हे मी एक संस्कृतचा अभ्यासक म्हणून ठामपणे सांगतो. खर तर येथे कोटी या शब्दाचा अर्थ होतो Degree किंवा सोप्या भाषेत, "प्रकार". कोटी ज्यावेळी आपण पैशासंदर्भात वापरतो तेथेही हाच अर्थ मुळात अभिप्रेत असतो हे खोलवर विचार केल्यास कळते. शिवाय आपण गणितात "बैजिक पदांच्या कोटी" हि संज्ञा वापरतो तेथेही हाच अर्थ अभिप्रेत असतो. आता प्रश्न असा येईल कि हे ३३ कोटी, म्हणजे ३३ प्रकारचे देव नेमके कोण? तर त्यांची नावे देतो.

धाता, मित्र, अर्यमा, शक्र, वरुण, अंश, भग, विवस्वान, पूषा, सविता, त्वष्टा आणि विष्णू हे १२ आदित्य. (संदर्भ: महाभारत, आदि. ६५/१५-१६)

धर, ध्रुव, सोम, अह:, अनिल, अनल, प्रत्यूष आणि प्रभास हे ८ वसु. (संदर्भ: महाभारत, आदि. ६६/१८)

हर, बहुरूप, त्रयम्बक, अपराजित, वृषाकपि, शंभू, कपर्दी, रैवत, मृगव्याध, शर्व आणि कपाली हे ११ रुद्र. (संदर्भ: हरिवंश, १/३/५१-५२)

आणि याखेरीज २ अश्विनीकुमार!

असे सारे मिळून ३३ प्रकारचे देव होतात.

    7. वेलांटीच्या फरकाने अर्थ बदलतो. संस्कृतच्या अभ्यासकांना ही माहिती असायला हवी.
      कोटि = प्रकार
      कोटी = करोड संख्या (एक कोटी = १,००,००,०००)

      कळावे.

    The concept of 33 koti devata:

    The Vedas refer to not 33 crore Devatas but 33 types (Koti in Sanskrit) of Devatas. They are explained in Shatpath Brahman and many other scriptures very clearly.

    "Yasya Trayastrinshad Devaa Ange Sarve Samaahitaa, Skamma Tam Bruhi Katamah Swideva Sah”. ~(Atharva Veda 10-7-13)

    Which means: with God’s influence, these thirty-three (supporting devta) sustain the world. 

    In Brhadaranyaka Upanishad while discussing Brahman, Yajnavalkya is asked how many gods are there. He says that there are three hundred and three and three thousand and three gods. When the question is repeated? He says, thirty three. When the question is again repeated he says, six. Finally, after several repetitions he says ONE. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 1)

    The number 33 comes from the number of Vedic gods explained by Yajnavalkya in Brhadaranyaka Upanishad – the eight Vasus, the eleven Rudras, the twelve Adityas, Indra and Prajapati. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 2)

    They are: 8-Vasu, 11-Rudra, and 12-Aaditya, 1-Indra and 1-Prajaapati.

    8. Vasus are: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Ether, Moon, Sun, and Star. They are called Vasus, because they are abode of all that lives, moves or exists. (also mentioned in Mahabharat, 1/66/18)

    11. Rudras: The ten Pranas (Praana, Apaana, Vyaana, Samaana, Udaana, Naag, Kurma, Krikal, Devadutta and Dhananjaya) i.e. nervauric forces which live in the human body. The eleventh is the human soul. These are called ‘Rudras’ because when they desert the body, it becomes dead and the relations of the deceased, consequently, begin to weep. Rudra means one who makes a person to weep. { also mentioned in Harivansha 13/51-52})

    12. Adityaas ---the twelve months of a year called Adityaas, they cause the lapse of the term of existence of each object or being. { also mentioned in Mahabharat 1/65/15-16}) 

    1. Indra which is also known as the (all-pervading) electricity, as it is productive of great force.

    1. Prajaapati , also called the “Yajna” because it benefits mankind by the purification of air, water, rain and vegetables and because it aids the development of various arts, and in it the honor is accorded to the learned and the wise.

    The master of these 33 Devatas is the Mahadeva or Ishwar who alone is to be worshipped as per 14th Kanda of Shatpath Brahman.

    3. Mahadev is not a God. He/she is God of God's that's why we say Mahadev. Master of all, living and dead, God of God, demons and human. God of past, present and future. Easy and difficult to please. God of animals also known as Pashupatinath. A minimalist who is one with nature. Power beyond human imagination. Mahadev
