Om Salutations to Kartha veeryarjuna,
The king who has several hands,
Just my remembering him,
The loss which occurred would be got .

2.Kartha veeryaha , khala dweshi, krutha, veeryo sutho ,bali,
   Sahasra bahu, shatrugno, rakthavasa dhanurdhara

Thousand handed one , killer of enemies , 
One who lives in bloody battles , One who holds a bow.

3.Raktha gandho, Raktha malyo, Raja , smarthur , abheeshtada,
   Dwasaaithani namani Kartha veeryasya ya padeth,

One with smell of blood , One who wears a garland of blood ,
King , One who is to be remembered , one who is desirable,
If these twelve names of Kartha veerya are read,
Wealth will accumulate there , people will be under their control,
Undesirable things will go far and safety and profit will come near.

4.SAhasra bahum, mahitham, sasaram sachapam,

   Choradhi dushta bhaya nasanam , ishta daantham,
   Dhyayen maha bala Vijrumbitha Kartha veeryam

I meditate on the very strong and blossoming Kartha Veerya,
Who has thousand hands , who is honored, holds bow and arrows,
Who wears bloody cloths , who decorated with crowns soaked in different bloods,
Who destroys the fear to thieves and bad people and fulfills desires.

5.Yasya smarana mathrena Sarva dukha Kshayo bhaveth,
   Yan naamani Maha veeraschaarjuna krutha veeryvan.

As soon as one remembers this all sorrow would be destroyed,
And these names of the great hero , would make,
Valorous people as great as Kartha veeryarjuna.

6.Haihayadhi pathe , stotram sahasravruthi karitham ,
   Vanchithartha pradham nrunam swarajyam sukrutham yadi.
This prayer of the Lord of the Hehaya clan , if read thousand times,
Would definitely fulfill all that is desired and also ,
Get him his own country if he has good luck.

Thus ends the prayer of twelve names of Kartha veeryarjuna

Everything is given to Krishna

Ganesha Atharvashirsha

Ganesha Atharvashirsha

From Wikipedia - The Śrī Gaṇapati Atharvaśīrṣa is a Vedic religious text dedicated to the deity Ganesha (Gaṇeśa). It is a late Upanishad that celebrates Ganesha as the embodiment of the ultimate Brahman.[1] The text asserts its own status as an upanishad in its final line, which reads "Thus, the Śrī Gaṇapati Atharvaśīrṣa Upanishad"

 (Sanskrit:श्रीगणपत्यथर्वशीर्षोपनिषद्; śrīgaṇapatyatharvaśīrṣopaniṣad).

It is also referred to as the Sri Ganapati Atharva Sirsha, the Ganapati Atharvashirsha, the Ganapati Atharvasirsa, or the Ganapati Upanishad. It is the most widely-recited Sanskrit text among devotees of Ganesha in Maharashtra. The entire text is written over the entrance to the temple hall in the aṣṭavināyaka Ganesha shrine at Ranjangaon. Ghurye notes its emergence in the early nineteenth century, corresponding to the rise of the Ganapati worship in Maharashtra among Brahmins centered in Pune.[3]

The whole world is produced from you. The whole world exists because of you. The whole world merged into you. The whole world again one can experience in only you. You are the Earth, water, air, fire and sky (the panchamahabhutas-the five elements). You are the four states of speeches. Sounded soul which is the origin of the Lord Ganesha is the self existent everlasting unexpressed total universal divine knowledge. The three states creation, maintenance (taking care) and destruction are originated from Lord Ganesha (Matter is originated from sound. The protons, neutrons and electrons are made up of atom. Atom is made from matter.) Proton, the creator (God Brahma), neutron the care-taker (God Vishnu) and electron the destructor (God Shiva). The five elements are originated from Lord Ganesha. From Ether the air is originated, from air the fire is originated, from fire the water is originated, from water the earth is originated. A human being is also originated from these five elements by processing cosmic energy. Lord Ganesha is the self existent original sounded soul. The knowledge of sound is visible or invisible. We can hear it but cannot see or feel it. Lord Ganesha (sound) is soul and the universe is the body. The source of words is from Lord Ganesha-the original sound. The four states of speeches are para, pashyanti, madhyama and vaikhari. The place of para is deep down inside the region of naval. The place of pashyanti is in the heart. The 'Madhyanma' is the throat and 'Vaikhari' is the movement of tongue and lips. It means the presence of Lord Ganesha (sound) is present in all the objects in the world.

You are beyond the three human qualities (Raj, Satva, and Tam). You are beyond the three human states (waking, dreaming and deep sleep). You are beyond the three states of bodies (gross, stable and causal). You constantly exist in the place 'Muladhara' in human body. You are the three powers/Shakti (required for creation, preservation and destruction). The sages always meditate on Lord Ganesha. You are Brahma, you are Vishnu, you are Rudra, you are Indra, you are Agni/God of Fire, you are Vayu/God of Air, you are Surya/Sun, you are Chandra/Moon, you are the Brahma (an organism from all living being) and the Earth, the Sky, the Heaven and the OM. Human being has three types of qualities- Satva, Raj, and Tam. Satva means Satvik means pure, holy or God fearing. A person, who is satvik, has always pure, noble clear thoughts. He is always well behaved well mannered thinking for others. Any type of bad elements could not disturb him. 'Rajogna' means passionate. A person always thinks about what profit he will get if will do anything. He always accepts positive results as per his thinking. If he doesn't achieve it he gets disturb. Could not keep control on his thoughts and mind. 'Tamasi' means hot headed irascible. A person is very hot tempered, selfish, his thoughts and his world are around eating, drinking, sleeping. They hurt to others; never take care for anybodies feelings and duties towards anybody. Lord Ganesha is beyond these three gunas. Lord Ganesha always exists in place of 'Muladhara'. According to the yoga there are seven 'Chakras'(states) in human body. These 'Chakras' are situated in various parts of the body. Through meditation a person can awake the power of thinking of body, correct decision power, through the power of kundalini which is in the 'Muladhara'. Lord Ganesha the supreme power is situated in 'Muladhara'.

Kubera Money Mantra Audio

Lord Kubera :
When Kubera went to Kailasam once to have a darshan of Lord Shiva, he found Him with Goddess Parvathi. Kubera was stunned to see the splendour and beauty of Goddess Parvathi. He felt sorry that he had not worshipped such a fine goddess for so long and one of his eyes shut itself.

Goddess Parvathi got angry that Kubera was winking at Her, and looking at Her with evil intention. She made his eye burst. Kubera lost sight in one eye and was also cursed that he would always look ugly. Lord Kubera pleaded with Lord Siva to forgive him and explained that he had not seen the Goddess with any evil intention. Lord Siva left the choice to His consort. Goddess Parvathi forgave Kubera and let the eye grow back, but it was smaller than the other one.

So one eye of Kubera is smaller than the other. Kubera was rewarded by Lord Siva with the post of being one of the guards of the eight directions - the North. The Goddess made him the lord of wealth and material.

As the God of wealth and material, his responsibilities are to distribute them while creating wealth is with Goddess Lakshmi. Kubera is mostly painted with his family and seen showering gold coins and navaratnas.

Performing pooja to Lord Kubera is believed to enrich one's life. To have a wealthy and comfortable life, one has to perform Sri Lakshmi Kubera Pooja.

Lord Balaji or Venkateswara at Thirupathi is said to have Borrowed money form Kubera for his marrige and he is still paying the interest on the loan amount. Hence it would seem that lord Venkateswara will be in protection during the ashadmasa.

Durga Mantras

     Durga Mantras

For Protection and Removal of diseases and suffering

Durga means "the inaccessible" or "the invincible". She is a fierce form of the Hindu Goddess or Devi. She is considered to be the combined forms of Goddess Lakshmi, Goddess Saraswati and  Goddess Kali. She is depicted with multiple (variously, up to eighteen) arms, carrying various weapons and riding a ferocious lion or tiger. She is often pictured as battling or slaying demons, particularly Mahishasura, the buffalo demon.

Durga is sometimes equated with Mahadevi, the Supreme Goddess. Her triumph as Mahishasura Mardini, Slayer of the buffalo Demon is a central episode of the scripture Devi Mahatmya.She is considered infinitely fierce to her enemies and infinitely loving to her devotees. Unconditional prayer to Goddess Durga can relieve one from all sufferings. She is a compassionate Goddess who relieves all the sufferings and troubles of her devotees, no matter how deep their miseries are. What is required is humility and acknowledgement of one's ignorance and incompetence, and honest invocation of the Mother's Grace. Repetitions of these mantras with sincere faith will confer full protection from the Goddess.

1. Mantra for general protection
Om Dum Durgayei Namaha
"Salutations to She who is beautiful to the seeker of truth and terrible in appearance
