मराठी अर्थ
शब्द:
ॐ क्रोधकृत्कर्त्रे नमः।
विवेचन:
जो योग्य वेळी क्रोध करतो आणि दुष्टांचा नाश करतो, तो क्रोधकृत्कर्ता. त्याचा रौद्रभाव स्वार्थासाठी नसून धर्मसंरक्षणासाठी असतो. न्यायपूर्ण कठोरतेचे हे नाव दैवी संतुलन दाखवते.
अर्थ:
असुरांवर क्रोध करणारा.
English Meaning
Meaning:
Om Krodhakritkartre Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From *krodha* (anger) + *krit* (maker) + *kartaa* (doer); "He Who Creates Righteous Wrath When Needed" - though He destroys unrighteous anger, He also creates the righteous indignation that fuels the protection of dharma, as when He became Narasimha.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Reference<br> While Krodhahā (previous) destroys anger, Krodhakṛtkartā also creates righteous anger when necessary. **Interpretation<br> Krodha means anger; kṛt means creator; kartā means doer. He creates AND destroys anger as needed. **Mythological Story<br> The paradox: Krodhahā (destroys anger) followed by Krodhakṛtkartā (creates anger)! How can both be true? Answer: The Krodhakṛtkartā creates dharma-krodha (righteous anger against injustice) while destroying ahaṁkāra-krodha (ego-anger from wounded pride). When Narasiṁha emerged with terrifying fury to kill Hiraṇyakaśipu, that was Krodhakṛtkartā creating righteous anger. When Paraśurāma's fury eliminated corrupt kṣatriyas twenty-one times, that was created anger serving dharma. When Kṛṣṇa burned with controlled anger seeing Draupadī's humiliation (though He remained calm externally), planning the complete destruction of Kauravas, that was dharma-krodha. But when Arjuna's ego-anger flared at Karṇa's insults, Kṛṣṇa as Krodhahā calmed it. The teaching: not all anger is evil! Righteous anger against injustice (dharma-krodha) serves good. But ego-anger from wounded pride (ahaṁkāra-krodha) serves only harm. For devotees, discernment needed: is my anger defending dharma or defending ego? If defending dharma (protecting innocent, opposing injustice), the Krodhakṛtkartā supports it. If defending ego (wounded pride, personal offense), the Krodhahā should dissolve it. The practice: examine anger's source - "Am I angry because dharma is violated (righteous) or because MY ego is hurt (unrighteous)?"
