Shree Vishwakarma Chalisa - (Full Song) श्री विश्वाकर्मा चालीसा





Legend has it that Vishwakarma built a mechanical stair stretching from Mount Meru to earth to bring Buddha back to earth.  In November of every year this day is celebrated as Buddha's descent from the Tushita heavens where he taught the Dharma to his deceased mother and other Bodhisattvas.  This day is called "Lha Bab Duchen" in Tibetan.



I find this particularly interesting in the flat earth model of the world as until recently I had always seen this story to be a type of parable but in the new light of globe skepticism makes me wonder if it isn't literal.



Vishwakarma is the presiding deity of all craftsmen and architects. Son of Brahma, he is the divine draftsman of the whole universe, and the official builder of all the gods' palaces. Vishwakarma is also the designer of all the flying chariots of the gods, and all their weapons.

Listen to Vishwakarma Chalisa.
