| [[Comment_en]] |
| In Hinduism, Lord Hayagriva is also known as Haya Shirsha or Horse Faced (haya - horse, shirsha - head, griva - neck), and is considered an avatar of Lord Vishnu. He was associated in Hindu mythology with the restoration of the Vedas and with learning, speech and knowledge. Lord Hayagriva is the Lord who bestows immense intelligence and knowledge. His consort is called Marichi – the Goddess of Rising Sun, who is seen sitting together with Lord Hayagriva on a lotus flower. |
| According to mythology, Lord Brahma’s Vedas were stolen by two demons called Madhu and Kaitabha. Lord Vishnu then took the form of Hayagriva to get back the Vedas, and taught them again to Lord Brahma. The bodies of Madhu and Kaitabha which were severed by Lord Hayagriva disintegrated into 12 pieces and these 12 pieces represent the 12 seismic plates on Earth. Symbolically, his story represents the victory of pure knowledge, guided by the hand of God, over the demonic forces of darkness and passion. |
| He is worshiped and adored as the God of wisdom and knowledge, with a human body and a horse’s head, brilliant white in color, and seated on a white lotus. He is also considered the male equivalent of Goddess Mata Saraswati. |
| He is a central deity in Vaishnava tradition (毗湿奴教派). His blessings are sought when starting the study of both secular and sacred subject. He can also grant spiritual powers (siddhis) on you when you connect with His divine healing energies, with sincere devotion. |
| Special worship is conducted on the day of the full moon in August (Sravana-Paurnami, which is believed to be the day when He appeared on Earth) and on Mahanavami, the 9th day of the Navratri festival (“nine nights festival”, 九夜节). Mahanavami is the final day of worship before Vijaya Dashami (十胜节) the end of Navratri. |
| In Tibetan Buddhism, He is a wrathful manifestation of the Buddha of Compassion – Amitabha or Amitayus. Devotion to and practice based upon His teachings is a fast method to overcome negative forces and hindrances. In Tibet, He was promoted especially by renowned Buddhist teacher Atisa. |
|
- Iconography: Lord Hayagriva is depicted having four hands, with a head of the horse. One hand is in the mode of bestowing knowledge, another hand holds a book, while the other two holds the conch and the Sudarshana Chakra. |
| He is usually depicted seated, with his right hand either blessing the supplicant or in the pose of teaching. The right hand also frequently holds a rosary (念珠), representing His identification with meditative wisdom and knowledge. His left-hand holds a book, representing His role as a spiritual teacher. His face is always peaceful and serene, if not smiling. His beauty, like fresh cut crystal, is a fortunate brilliance that never decays. |
| In Buddhism, He is illustrated with 1 face, 2 arms, and 2 legs. Everything about Him is wrathful – a roaring mouth with protruding fangs, a scowling face with 3 glaring eyes, a broad belly bulging with inner energy, His left hand raised in a threatening mudra, and a sword raised threateningly in his right hand. This terrifying aspect expresses compassion’s fierce determination to help us overcome outer obstructions and inner egotism. |
|
- Benefits: Prayers to Him are particularly beneficial in these degenerate times when illnesses and sufferings are rampant due to the potent delusions of sentient beings. |
| The Hayagriva Maha Mantra is an extremely powerful Hayagriva Mantra. Daily practice of this mantra is a highly beneficial technique for students to improve their studies. Recite the mantra during the day while doing your daily work. There are no special restrictions or any rules for this Sanskrit mantra. |

| 在印度教中，“马头神”（Hayagriva/Hayashirsha，“haya”- 马，“griva”- 颈，“shirsha”- 头）被认为是大神“毗湿奴” (Vishnu) 的化身之一。他与印度神话中一段关于恢复《吠陀经》的故事有关（“吠陀”一词本身就代表“知识、智慧”），因此他是与知识、语言和学习有关的神，能赐予人们无穷知识和智慧之神。 |
| 根据神话，“梵天” (Brahmā) 的《吠陀经》被两个恶魔 “Madhu” 和 “Kaitabha” 偷走了，于是大神“毗湿奴” (Vishnu) 便化身为“马头神” (Hayagriva)，杀死了两个恶魔，取回了《吠陀经》，并重新传授给“梵天”。这两个恶魔的尸体被分解成了 12块，这 12块后来成为了地球上的 12个主要大陆板块（这里又显现了印度神话的“神预言”，这比欧洲人 20世纪初提出的 🌍 “地质板块学说”早了近 2000年！😏）。从象征意义上讲，这个故事代表了纯洁的知识，在神的指引下战胜了黑暗和邪恶的恶魔，从而揭示了神圣知识的力量。 |
| “Hayagriva” 作为“知识和智慧之神”而广受崇拜。他人身马头，身上放射出白色的光芒，安坐在白色的莲花座上，他的配偶是“Marichi”——日出女神，与他坐在一起。“Hayagriva” 也被认为是“男身”的萨拉斯瓦蒂（Saraswati，代表音乐、学习、知识和智慧的女神，创世神“梵天”的妻子）。 |
| “Hayagriva” 是印度教毗湿奴教派供奉和祭拜的主要神祇之一。无论是世俗知识还是神圣学问，在开始学习和研究之前寻求他的祝福（祈祷）都是十分有益的。当你以真诚的奉献与他的神圣疗愈能量连接时，他就能赐予你获得“成就”(Siddhi) 的精神力量。 |
| 对他的特别敬拜，一是在每年八月的满月之日进行，这一天被称为 “Sravana-Paurnami”，据说这一天他会降临到人世间；二是在“九夜节” (Navratri festival) 的第九天，这一天被称为 “Mahanavami”，是“九夜节”的最后一天，也是“十胜节” (Vijaya Dashami) 前最后的祭拜日。 |
| “Hayagriva” 也作为“知识和智慧之神”被吸收进了佛教，称为“马头明王”。明王的“明” (Vidya)，意思是“正确的知识，智慧和光明”。在印度人看来，“知识和智慧” (Bhudhi) 分为两类，一类是正确的知识 (Vidya)，一类是错误的知识 (Avidya)，也即谬误，只有前者才能带来真正的智慧和光明。在佛教密宗里，“明” (Vidya) 还特指真言陀罗尼 (mantra)；“王” (Raja)，则是尊胜、具威力的意思，是对于君王的一种尊称。“明王” (Vidya Raja) 的意思就是真言陀罗尼的持有者，通常是佛或菩萨的忿怒相化身。密教修行者经常以“明王”为本尊，以修行“无上瑜伽”。女性明王称为“明妃”，通常是明王的伴侶。 |
| 在藏传佛教中，“马头明王” (Hayagriva) 被认为是无量寿佛（阿弥陀佛）的忿怒相化身（另有一说，说他是观世音菩萨的忿怒相化身，故又叫“马头观音”）。“马头明王”是宁玛派“八大嘿噜嘎本尊”之一，其修行专注于净化“口业”（言语，Speech），被认为是一种克服消极力量和障碍的快速而有效的方法。他特别受到著名佛教上师“阿底峡” (Atisa) 尊者的推崇，因此在藏地得以广泛传播。 |
|
- 形象： 在印度教中，他的形象是人身马头，有四条手臂。他一只手做出赐予知识的手印（传法印），一只手拿着书（代表知识），而另两只手分别拿着海螺（代表正法）和 “Sudarshana Chakra”（一种可旋转的圆盘状武器，边缘非常锋利，是“毗湿奴”的武器之一）。 |
| 他通常被描绘成坐着，右手摆出祝福或教导信徒的手势。右手也经常拿着念珠，代表他等同于冥想智慧和知识。他的左手拿着一本书，代表他作为精神导师的地位。他的脸总是平和宁静的，或者面带微笑。他的美，就像新切割的水晶一样，散发出令人愉悦的、永不褪色的光彩。 |
| 而在佛教中，他被描绘成一面、二臂、二腿。他的一切都是愤怒的：长着突出毒牙的咆哮的嘴，一张闷闷不乐、眼睛却炯炯有神的脸，充满内在能量的大肚子，他左手举着做出威胁性手势，右手举着一把代表威胁的剑。这是一种可怕的形象，但却表达了他对慈悲和同情的强烈决心，表明他随时可以帮助我们克服外在的障碍和内在的自我主义。 |
|
- 益处： 在这个物欲横流的时代，由于众生的无明和强烈的妄想，疾病和苦难肆虐，向他祈祷尤其有益。每天练习他的咒语是一个非常有益的活动，可以提高学生的学习成绩或者你的工作效率。这个 “Maha Mantra” 是“马头神”的咒语中最强有力的一个，练习这个咒语没有特别的规则和限制。 |
