Yama Dharma Raaja

AnasooyaAthreyaSeshaAnjaneya VIJAYAkrishna : Srimathi Sumangali RAmarAju VIJAYAkrishna Lakshmi KAmeswari : ' Garuda PurANam ' : Brahma Pithaamaha assigned Yama the task of Being Judge of humanity and assured Him that He will not be blamed for causing death of humans and that He and Mruthyu Devatha are entirely different and bestowed Him with honorific Dharma RAja and since then Yama came to be known as Yama Dharma RAja, whose duty it is to honor those who follow tenets of Sanaathana Dharma truthfully and to judge sinners. Yama is Samyamini, meaning absolutely impartial and HE defers only to The Authority of Lord Siva as manifest in the case of Maarkandeya and HE is a very generous host to those highly deserving as in the case of Nachiketha. In HIS task HE is assisted by Chithraguptha Gandharva and 12 witnesses Sravana Gandharvas. Yama Dharma RAja traces HIS origins to Brahma - Mareechi - Kashyapa - Soorya - Yama. Let us utter HIS Names with Reverence : Om Yamadharmaraajaaya Namaha; Om Kaalaaya Namaha; Om Samavarthaaya Namaha; Om Vaivaswathaaya Namaha; Om Odumbaraaya Namaha; Om Neelaaya Namaha; Om Vrukodaraaya Namaha; Om Jangamaaya Namaha; Om Vichithraaya Namaha; Om Dharmadwajaaya Namaha; Om DwaadasaSravanaaya Namaha; Om Chithragupthaaya Namaha; Om Saneswaraanujaaya Namaha; Om Yaamunaagrajaaya Namaha; Om Vasu Rudra Aadithya Swaroopaaya Namaha; Om Aadhyaathmika Saanthiye Namah; Om Aadibhauthika Saanthiye Namaha; Om Aadidaivika Saanthiye Namaha.
