KATVANGHA- MUKTHI
Salvation to Katvangha
Once upon a time, there lived a mighty emperor by name KATVANGHAN. He was a true devotee of Bhagavan. His mind was fully occupied with the divine leela's of Bhagavan. He considered himself as a humble servant of Bhagavan. He did his role of king very well. All admired his righteousness.
He did his role without the feeling of I' ness and my' ness. It is Bhagavan who only does all the good things to the mankind. We are just tools in his hand. With our body as a tool, Bhagavan does good things to the mankind. Katvanghan constantly meditated on the KARUNYAM- divine mercy of Bhagavan, for keeping him in such a high position.
In this world, there is a war between Righteousness and Evilness. This war goes from time immemorial. Once there broke a war between Deva's and Asura's. Katvanghan was called by deva's. Deva's asked for his help. Katvanghan assisted them. There was a ferocious war between deva's and asura's. Katvanghan fought bravely and defeated asura's. Many asura's were killed. The left behind asura's ran off from the scene. Deva's won the battle.
Deva's gave a boon to Katvanghan. He asked the deva's, " Please tell me, my lifespan that is left out". To this, deva's replied, " you are left with a lifespan of only one MUHOORTHAM time" (1 muhoortham = one and half hours). Knowing that, his life is going to wind up within one and half hours time, he felt astonished. With the deva's help, he took the divine plane called Vimanam and immediately rushed to Bhoolokam (Earth). The Devalokam (place of deva's) is not for mukthi. Whenever any one gets a curse or boon, he will be sent only to earth.
The earth is the place filled with Satvic State(Sathva Gunam). Here, we can get the darshan of Sathguru. With Sathguru's blessings and through Nama Sankeerthanam, we can attain mukthi quickly. Knowing this, Katvanghan came to Bharatha Bhoomi (India). As per Bhagavatham, Bharatha Bhoomi is the place for karma, bhakthi, and here it is filled with Sathguru's divine grace and here one can easily attain mukthi.
The other places in the world are called Bhoga Bhoomi (places for enjoyment), where people can enjoy their life merrily in unwanted things and finally end up in frustration and restlessness.
In the Bharatha Bhoomi, Bhakthi is more. Here the entire places are filled with the vedic vibrations and the vibrations of Sathguru's Nama Sankeerthanam. With the blessings of Sathguru and through Sathsangam (listening to the divine leela's of Bhagavan) once mind can be cleansed and thereby fill it with Bhakthi.
Katvanghan reached a lonely place and started meditating on the divine feet of Bhagavan. He left all the unwanted things from his mind. He removed the sentimental feelings of emperor, protector of mankind etc., He removed bonding in the form of father, mother, children, relatives, friends, subjects, noble citizens, etc., and considered himself as a humble servant to Bhagavan. When all the bonding were removed, his mind become one with the Bhagavan and attained Mukthi.
Katvanghan attained mukthi, in just a very short period of one and half hours.
By listening to Sathsangam and through Nama Japam (chanting Radhekrishna) with the divine blessings of Guruji Amma, we can also remove all our bondings, which make us restless. We can attain true happiness devoid of sorrows and sufferings.
People are busy and they don't waste their time. They are busy in studying, searching for job, settling in marriage life, looking after children, earning huge money, building mighty emperor in the form of bungalow, car, wealthy man, owning many titles and crowns, certificates and medals etc., all goes..all goes.. all goes with time.
But are we caring for time? The time goes day by day without our knowledge and control and one day every one becomes old. But no one is ready to accept this cold fact. Let us surrender ourselves to the divine feet of Bhagavan and seek the blessings of Guruji Amma, to lead a life worth living, which can lead us to Bhagavath Bhakthi and Mukthi.
