SHRI SHARIKA BHAGAVATI Laudation
काश्मीर प्रवरेश मद्य नगरेप्रद्युम्नपीठे स्थिता देवि सप्तक संयुता भगवति श्री शारिका पातु नः॥ kāśmīra pravareśa madya nagarepradyumnapīṭhe sthitā devi saptaka saṁyutā bhagavati śrī śārikā pātu naḥ. Shri Sharika Devi is the Divine Mother,presiding Devi of प्रद्युम्नपीठ--Predhumna Piitha,which is the Sharika Parvat/Hari Parbat of Kashmir. The traditional Prepyun--Naivedya Mantra of Kashmir Paddhati/prescribed system,describes Shri Sharika as the Divine Mother. She is adored with the Thousand Names--revered in the Sharika Sahsranaama. Literal translation of Sharika is हा॑र्य Ha'air in Kashmiri. The Bija Mantra of Shri Sharika is of SEVEN syllables. Seven syllables refer to the Sapta Matrikas , according to the Shakti Agamas. It has its own Gayatri, which is invoked at the time of the Homas--Agni Hotras of the Agamic nature. The Sharika is also invoked in the कादि विद्या बीज अक्षर kādi vidyā bīja akṣara----KADI system of Mantras. It has its origin in the Kavarga family of the Sanskrit Varnamala. Its explanation is found in the Sharika Sahsranaama itself. Pandit Krishan Joo Kar has sung this Rahasya Purna Stuti---in praise of Shri Sharika Devi,who is Ashta- Dash Bhujaa Dhaarini Devi. The language of this Stotra is in Kashmiri, with some Sanskrit and Persian words. Pandit Krishan Joo kar happened to be the Guru of Reshi Peer Sahib. (It will a great service to the spiritual heritage of Kashmir, if the portrait of Swami Krishan joo kar could be provided to the Editor of the Shehjar E-journal , along with some details about the history of this great saint of Kashmir. I have learnt this Stuti , while reading it from a Nastaliq script. The Stuti runs as; श्री शारिकायै नमः Shri Sharikayai Namah वन्दे शिलातन ईश्वरी श्री शारिका देवी नमः मेहरे चराचर ईश्वरी श्री शारिका देवी नमः1 ( Vande Shilatan Ishvari Shri Sharika Devi Namah Mehre Charachar Ishvari Shri Sharika Devi Namah). Our obeisance to Shri Sharika Devi, who has manifested in the form of a sacred rock--known as Chakreshwara at Hari Parbat. She is the Supreme Sovereign Mother of this world and the world, which is transcendental.She is the luster of the Solar galaxies. 1 नूरे जहां सुन्दरी ताबिन्दह मेहरे अनवरी माहे अफरोज़ अख्तरी श्री शारिका देवी नमः2 (Noor-e- Jehan Sundari Tabinda Mehr-e Anwari Mahe Afroz Akhtari, Shri Sharika Devi Namah).

Homeland campaign after the mass exodus of community from valley drove Mohan Krishen Mongha alias Kaka ji to dig into the layers of time and get to the roots of the intellectual and cultural ethos of the Kashmiri Community. Starting with active participation in the communities fight for survival and identity in the aftermath of communities genocide in Noida (NCR DELHI) right from day one by throwing open the gates of his factory for running and registering of the Kashmir Migrant Welfare Association, Noida besides being a field worker of PK(united). In 1993 Mohan ji took lessons in Indian light classical music which brought him in contact with his spiritual mentor and later his Guru Swami Mastbab ji in Noida coinciding with growth of a small garment fabrication business estab.1986 into a multi crore export business.

Sh. M.K. Mongha , a protege & Bakht of H.H Swami Mast Bab ji maharaj, has been in the thick of business. Not only has a grasp on sanskrit vedas & literature but this wonder bakht of Swami Ji has a scientific expalnation of the same , to convince the more science educated lot, nowadays. He has been a true exponent of Hawan Puja with command on recitation & explanation both. Braving all fronts , he has stood well to his task & should act as a guideline to all followers.

I am thrilled to read this creation, thanks to Dr CLRaina to bring out this article of repute. But there seems to be some problem with audio part of it, on kicking to it 'it says, plugin is not installed...' kindly look into the problem. We want to hear this sung historic document of Krishen Kar.....

There is no problem with the audio file embedded in the media player on our website. If it says that "plug-in is not installed", it clearly means that some audio plug-ins are not installed on that particular computer. There are hundreds of audio and video codecs and plug-ins in use today. We use MP3 Audio files which uses 'MPEG Audio Layer-3' Codec. Search for this codec online and install it on you machine. Hope this works.
