AMBHARISHA - BHAKTHI

DEVOTION OF KING AMBAREESHA

Ambharisha was a mighty emperor. He ruled the entire world. No emperor was comparable to his massive wealth, mighty power, broad intellect. But, he never felt proud over his supremacy. He considered himself as a humble servant. The name AMBHARISHA in Sanskrit gives different meanings. A person whose intellect is as broad as the sky is called AMBHARISHA. A person who constantly meditates on the supreme primordial source, Bhagavan is called AMBHARISHA. A person who detatches himself from the sentimental bondings in the form of mother, father, relations etc., is called AMBHARISHA. AMBHARISHA had one wealth, which never gets drained. That wealth, which AMBHARISHA had was KRISHNA BHAKTHI. The happiness got by Krishna Bhakthi is incomparable. In Bhagavatham, Suga Brahma rishi gives the picture of Krishna Bhakthi with AMBHARISHA as a Krishna devotee.

"His mind is filled with meditating on the lotus feet of Krishna Bhagavan. He praised the divine Leela's of Bhagavan Krishna and the tongue tasted the Nama Ruchi-sweetness of Nama Japam. He heared Sathsangam - divine stories of Krishna Leela's through Sathguru. His eyes enchanted at the sight of true krishna Bhaktha's. He smelled the fragrance of Thulasi which are surrendered at the lotus feet of Bhagavan. He walked by foot to the divine hermitage of Sathguru and listened to the preachings and advices of Sathguru. He bowed his head under the lotus feet of Bhagavan."

The mind is for the meditation of Bhagavan. We have to chant the Namam as given by Sathguru constantly in mind. The tongue is for the praise of Bhagavan and the Sathguru who showed the way of Krishna Bhakthi. The hands and legs are for doing services to the Sathguru and thereby attaining true knowledge. The ears are for listening Krishna Leela's and the life stories of True Mahathma's who poised themself as Krishna Bhaktha's. Sathsangam - company of Krishna Bhaktha's can lead to Mukthi. The nama japam given by Sathguru removes our sorrows and showers the Krishna Anugragham on us. Sathguru lead us from darkness to light.

The first stage of Bhakthi is Sravanam - Listening. The listening of Krishna Leela's removes our sin. It removes the dirty, unwanted thoughts from our mind. It cleanses the mind. On listening to the Sathsangam, automatically Krishna Bhagavan enters into us and removes the unwanted things and make our heart itself a dwelling abode for him.

By listening to the Sathguru's words, through chanting Dhruvan attained Bhagavath Anugragahm just in 5 months. By listening to the preachings of Suga Brahma Rishi - Sathguru, Parikshith attained Mukthi in 7 days. Sathguru is here to preach us. Let us listen to it. With Bhagavan Radhekrishna's grace and Guruji Amma's blessings, we can march forward in Bhakthi. We are born in this world to attain Bhagavath Anugraham and Mukthi. Sathguru's blessings are the boon for us and the Krishna Nama Japam given by Guruji Amma is the splendid torch, which can lead us to the divine abode of Bhagavan. Let us pray Bhagavan Radhekrishna to make us a Sathsishya to Guruji Amma.

RADHEKRISHNA..RADHEKRISHNA..RADHEKRISHNA..

Jai Shri Poojya Shri Shri Amma.
