Radhekrishna Sath Sangam's VEDHAPREMAAMRUTHAM

In the beginning, PURURAVAS was mad after OORVASI. The divine light shed by DEVA'S gave him true divine knowledge. When he felt the divine light in his body, he regained the originality. The hidden knowledge came out. He regained his true form of divinity.

PURURAVAS went around several places. He roamed all along different places of the world. One time, he came to a place called KURU KSHETHRAM. There he met a GANDHARVA (a celestial DEVA, who is good at music). He asked for the blessings of the GANDHARVA. The GANDHARVA blessed him with a divine fire and asked him to perform a great YAGNA. PURURAVAS invoked the blessings of DEVA'S through that YAGNA (a divine sacrifice). The DEVA'S felt happy at the devotion of PURURAVAS. They blessed him with divine powers.

Through the power of it, HE went to the place of OORVASI, namely OORVASI LOKAM, in the outer space. But, this time HIS mind was pure. He was very firm on his principles of devotion. His mind was calm without any oscilliation, at the sight of OORVASI. He felt very bad for the loss of years in his life, under the trap of OORVASI. During earlier years, he even forsaked the righteous duties, for the want of her. On regaining his wisdom, he felt very bad about his past life. He started narrating the evil consequences of poisoned mind, in detail to OORVASI.

He started saying to OORVASI,

" For the want of you, I swerved from the righteous path of DHARMAM as a king. I became unaware of rolling years, forsaking every thing, except you. I forsaked my royal duties. I kept myself confined within you. I was under the trap of you. Now, I felt guilty of my past life. I was a great warrior and a man of high wisdom too. I was ruling all the worlds under one sceptre. It seems to be a wonder that how come I got trapped in the net spread by you ? I am really wondering now.

I was like a playing doll in the hand of a woman. I was dancing as per your tune. I never had any reasoning to come out of your demand. I kept myself confined within the four walls of palace, keeping in mind about the condition laid by you always. We are all dolls in the hands of KRISHNA BHAGAVAN. I behaved like a doll in your hand. When I was obeying your orders, had I ever questioned my self that, why can't I obey the orders of my soul ? I should have done that at the earliest. But, I never did so. Now, I felt ashamed of it.

I was chasing you like a mad. You left me withou any grace. You ignored me like a useless grass of little value. But, I was running after you, all along. How stupid I was during that time ? I had big titles, huge army, mighty welath, high wisdom and all necessary good qualities of a man. But then all my good qualities vanished in no minutes of time. I was having all riches. But, I behaved like a beggar (penniless pauper ) begging at the feet of you. I should be ashamed of my act. How silly, I was during that time ?

I mastered many arts through constant practice and of unswerved meditation. I lead a poise disciplined life as a king. I attained a unique place among the kings. I did all my royal duties selflessly and attained divine powers through it. I was observing true silence as per VEDIC NORMS and controlled my emotions. I was following vigorous TAPA'S (meditaion) and achieved divine qualities through it. I controlled my senses and emotions. By virtue of it, I achieved mastery over other emperors. I ruled all the worlds under one sceptre. Even after all these severe practices, my mind was attracted towards you. I lost my self in you. I had forgotten my true individuality, at the sight of you. Being the ruler of the world, I should have behaved righteously. But, I did in the other way. I never bothered to care my citizens. Now, after realizing my fault, I felt ashamed of it.

I was carried away by the strong wind of ' immoral sensual pleasure ' just like a useless mud, which was carried by strong wind. I was enjoying carnal pleasures with you. Just like ' adding fuel to the fire ', the passing years provoked my carnal desires vigorously. I was blessed by DEVA'S. Their blessings helped me to enjoy the celestial happiness of being with you, in the DEVALOKAM. I was enjoying the luxuries and comforts of DEVALOKAM for many years.

Even after several years, the luxuries never gave me true happiness. Instead, they provoked my cravings still more. I should have searched for true happiness coming from BHAGAVAN. I misplaced my affection in you, than to BHAGAVAN. I should have shown my true love on to the lotus feet of KRISHNA BHAGAVAN. I lost many years in my life, spending luxuriously. Now, I wish to meditate fully on to BHAGAVAN.

One should control his senses. The mind should not go in the directions of senses. Mind should not obey the directions of senses. The senses wander always. They search for happiness from every thing. If the mind goes as per the directions of senses, surely he will get distracted just like a vanishing cloud. His life will fade away just like a vanishing cloud.

The mind control is the prime requirement for leading a peaceful life. The mental emotions are seemingly surprising. The behaviour of mind is multi - faceted. It is highly radiant as a sun. It has tremendous powers as that of life giving air. This mind alone is the root cause for all the sufferings of life. The mind should be focussed whole - heartedly towards divinity. I was reminded by you, time and again about the uncertainity of DEVALOKAM.

I cannot blame you for my past life. I had chosen a wrong path. The path lead me to a world of total darkness, devoid of worldly attires. I forgotten the entire world at the door step of yours. It was my fault. Now, I realized my mistake. A man shoul always distinguish between good and evil through the reasoning power. I was admiring your beauty at that time. Had I ever asked this question to my self ? I am admiring the beauty of OORVASI. Then how about admiring the beauty of primordial source of creation, namely KRISHNA BHAGAVAN ? BHAGAVAN is the primordial source of all creation. The entire beauty of mankind is fully absorbed in him. From him alone, the beauty takes the form of ' beautiful things ' in worldly context. Without his divine grace, every thing will seem ugly.

Our own body is a living example for this. This body is made up of blood, nerves, fat, muscles, skin etc., Huge number of germs are living within our body. The waste products produced in the body are dumped in the abdomen. Man carries with him, ugly unwanted waste materials all along his life, kept inside the body covered by beautiful skin outside. The skin covers the ugly unwanted waste materials and gives a beautiful shape to the body. We admire the beauty of external skin. Even the beauty pageant of entire world is of no exception to this.

The life journey begins in the mother's womb. It resides in the temporary abode for 10 months. It leaves the temporary abode and come to the external world in the form of a baby. The baby cannot remain all along his life, in the mother's womb. The bondage in the form of mother's womb breaks after 10 months. The baby nourishes through the food. The growth of a baby is determined by the nourishment provided through the food. For the physical and mental growth, the body is dependant over food. After attaining a certain age, man toils a lot to make a living.

He makes an adventurous voyage in search of food. He inculcates suitable work habits to achieve mastery over food. The mankind splits in the form of servant and master. The person who dictates and pays for the work becomes a master. The person who receives money and obeys the orders of the other man , becomes a servant. Money plays a vital role in the development of civilization. The servant receives money in proportion to the quality of work rendered by him, through his master. Money plays a role in life. But, money alone will not give all comforts in life.

Mankind wishes to increase the population of it's race. A sacred relationship in the form of ' marriage ' binds two unknown people together. This relationship paves way for new offspring in the form of children. The couples enjoy carnal pleasures and give birth to children. But, life doesn't stop over there. The same cycle continues in the new phase. In the beginning, the child is dependant over his mother. As years passes on, food forms the basic supplement for the nourishment of life. Later money plays a vital role in acquring the food through hard labour. During that time, man becomes dependant over money. Man depends on his counter - part to give birth his successive generation. After certain period of time, he / she becomes old. They are taken care by their children. At that time, they are dependant on their children.

Man makes social realtionship in the society, in the form of friends and neighbours. At some specific instances, he / she takes shelter at the co-operation extended from the helping hands in the form of friends and neighbours. At times, he / she ignore them and remain firm in keeping privacy of their family problems. So, at each and every stage, the dependancy fluctuates from one man to another. It oscillates here and there. At no instance, man can be certain about his / her destiny. It all changes like a trum card. No one is solely dependant over another man, all through his / her life. The dependancy varies from context to context.

After the passage of life force, the body becomes dead. This body is burnt in fire or burried in the soil. If it is burnt, only the ashes remains. If it is burried in th soil, small germs consume it, as food. Even animals like dog, eagle take this dead body as food. Thus it forms a cycle. The dead body forms a part of nutrition for the animals. This cycle goes on and on. Thus the dependancy oscillates from animal kingdom to mankind.

This life cycle never waits for any one. From the beginning till the end, this life play goes smoothly without any pause. Our mind alone produces external ramifications to life and makes the life full of sorrow and depression. The external ramifications are multi - dimensional. They can take infinite number of possibilities, depending upon the mind set, at that specific time. The mind should be tamed. One should never allow his mind to wander in all worldly things.

I allowed my mind to wander for celestial sensual pleasures. I received the return of it, very badly in my life. I lost many golden years in my life. All my glory, magnanimity, supremacy, wisdom, diplomatic etiquette, social etiquette etc., had gone, for the want of you. Now, I understood the dire consequences of immoral attitudes. Now, I got relieved from it. "

PURURAVAS also narrated the glory of SATHSANGAM ( company of SADHU ) to OORVASI.

Do you want to know about it ? Wait till the next issue.

Till such time, let us all do continous chanting of RADHEKRISHNA NAMAM. Let the blessings of our SATHGURU - POOJYA SHRI SHRI AMMA, bring us towards divinity. Let our mind be filled with the true joy of NAMA JAPAM. Let the glory of SATHSNAGAM and SATHGURU be spread always.

JAY SHREE POOJYA SHREE SHREE AMMA !

JAY SHREE RADHE KRISHNA SATH SANG KI JAY !

RADHE KRISHNA... RADHE KRISHNA... RADHE KRISHNA...

( TO CONTINUE...)

Once upon a time thee lived a mighty emperor by name PURRAVAS. He was a mighty emperor, whose power was spread throughout the world. He controlled all the nations in the world, by his undefeatable command of power and authority. He enjoyed his life as a mighty emperor with all royal luxuries. Every success looks for enjoyment. During that time only, we have to seek the help of Bhagavan Radhekrishna through the chanting of Radhekrishna Namam, This chanting will save us from distraction. But for this, we need a sathguru who can guide us to that motive. But not, everyone is bestowed to get a Sathguru. The emperor, PURURAVAS was carried away by unwanted distraction. Having enjoyed worldly royal luxuries, he now sought for something of higher pleasures. He thought of celestial pleasures as enjoyed by royal celestial incarnations, namely Devalokam. (I.e. the abode of Deva’s). He wanted to enjoy the marital happiness with divine celestial prostitute, namely OORVASI performed a big yagna (Sacrifice) and through the power of it, He wanted to acquire the possession of Oorvasi, as an enjoying object. When our mind gets poisoned, we think other as just dolls in our hand and want to enjoy them as we wish to be. We should always remember the return, which we will get in future, for the sin that is performed. But, not by our intellect reasoning, wisdom, knowledge and perception we can devoid yourself from this Maya or illusion. Only by the company with sadhu’s (divine holy people), through sathsangam, we can save our life from unwanted distractions of undue means, which can ruin our life.
Under the control of mighty fate, the emperor, PURURAVAS started imagining about the beauty of that divine celestial girl, namely oorvasi. His mind was fully absorbed in her. He forgets his duties. His mind become detached from righteous path. He prayed in full, to get the happiness from her namely oorvasi then later a time came for his happiness to come in true form. Oorvasi came to the place of pururavas. Pururavas started protecting that lamb with utmost sincerity and love. He started enjoying the happiness with her. Oorvasi, made another condition that she should not see the body of pururavas in light. For the want of her, even though he was a mighty emperor with vast knowledge wisdom and who rules the entire world under his one scepter, he started accepting whatever she says. For the want of her, he started accepting whatever she says. For the want of her he started to detach himself from his duties as a king and also from performing and protecting yagna’s (sacrifices performed for the welfare of mankind), as a ruler and protector. Every thing gone, expect the sensual pleasures which he enjoyed with her. Being a celestial prostitute, as a matter of profession, she started giving the happiness as he wanted. But one thing that escaped from everyone’s sight is the mighty rival, which attacked each and everybody, namely TIME. The time waits for none. Days and Nights rolled on. He never enjoyed the warmth of bright morning sun or the cool shower of charming moon. He kept himself confined within the four walls of emperor’s palace. He became like a mighty lion get trapped in a case of gold, which is kept bounded always He was bounded by the unwanted pleasures, which he imagined it to be of celestial sensual pleasures. He started enjoying the life, as he wished. Many years rolled. Many Years rolled just as a fraction of second. When our mind is occupied with unwanted undue pleasures of sensual things, as inspired by the company of bad peoples, time rolled just as a fraction of second when our mind is occupied with unwanted undue pleasures of sensual things as inspired by the company of bad peoples, time rolled down as fraction of second, without our knowledge. The time is precious Let us not waste it. By the inspiration drawn from unwanted thins. The condition laid by her, was always mighty emperor, namely PURURAVAS. The celestial deva’s also got envy, at the sight of PURURAVAS and oorvasi. They made a trick to take back oorvasi to their abode namely Devalokam. Some deva’s appeared on the scene, and they grabbed the lamb. At that time, they were enjoying the happiness seeing the deva’s grabbing the lamb, without his control; out of passion PURURAVAS came out of bed to protect the lamb. At once, the deva’s showered a divine light on to the PURURAVAS under the light of it. She could sea the body of him. Both the conditions laid by her was broken namely 1) lamb was not protected 2) the body of PURURAVAS was seen in light(here divine light shed by deva’s and not ordinary human source, because this divine light is going to give mukthi to PURURAVAS So, as per the agreement, the term was over. The celestial happiness enjoyed in Devalokam is not permanent. They are temporary once the divine account is expired they have to go to the lower worlds of mixed happiness and sorrow’s. So our mind should not be overwhelmed by these flatulent words (empty words) Here PURURAVAS was much concerned about the loss of oorvasi he begged at her not to leave him alone. But she left him, without any grace. She left him alone PURURAVAS became mad after her. But by the divine light shed by deva’s , he was in a way saved the Deva’s done a good thing to PURURAVAS but everyone will be scolding at them as wicked and cruel people, who get envy about other achieving their position Actually the disturbance created by deva’s are only the stepping stones which can elevate us to a higher spiritual levels By stepping into that we can keep yourself away from the downfall of entering into devalokam of temporary sensual pleasures and then repenting with mind full of sorrows and sadness here PURURAVAS was saved he now got back his forgotten wisdom. He regained its originality a precious diamond stone was dumped and covered by unwanted waste materials the waste materials covered, the entire diamond. Now diamond when seen from outside resembles just like a useless dirty one and untouchable too. But a knowledgeable man of high wisdom (Sathguru) can cleanse this dense coating of unwanted layers of useless untouchable materials when all the unwanted dirty coatings and layers are removed the diamond regains its original color and character. And it glitters with true colors the sathguru sees the hidden diamond, in each and everyone. Through the divine grace of Bhagavan radhekrishna with the Radhekrishna namam and Sathsangam (preaching of divine leela’s of Bhagavan Krishna) as a cleaning material, the sathguru remove the unwanted dirty things from our mind through the chanting of Radhekrishna Namam, and accepting yourself as a dirty diamond in the divine hands of sathguru and allowing them to cleanse us, we can also attain true state of diamond with glittering true colors of divine Krishna bhakthi
Krishna Bahaman says, “The fire, when approached removes the shivering, darkness and fear. In the same way the company of sadhu’s through sathsangam and seeking the blessings of sathguru one can keep himself pure The sathguru’s grace will remove the (1) fear of life (2) Ignorance (3) bindings of undue and unwanted actions leading to ruin The refuge for the drowning people, in this mighty ocean of life cycle is sathguru and sathsangam only. For living things food is the source for the depressed people Krishna Bahaman is the only refuge. After this life, only the knowledge gained by good things and actions namely Dharmam is the only treasure which they carry with them. In the some way for the people who get annoyed filled with full of fear and terror the sathsangam (divine company of sathguru and their preaching) is the only refuse or ultimate shelter. Which can protect from danger and give peace and happiness? The external sun gives light to our eyes, in the external world only the sathguru keeps our eye open internally too, to see and feel the divine grace of bhagavan. The sathguru and the company of them, namely sathsangam can be the only true relationship for everyone for ever. Sathguru is our true relative true friend true boon giving deva’s and they are so dearer to us just like the soul which is inseparable from us. The sathguru who lead you towards mufti liberation from all bindings can is equivalent to me itself. (Bhagavan Krishna himself)
Let us surrender ourselves on to the divine feet of our Sathguru Poojya Shri Shri Amma and make our life a worth living by the divine grace of Bhagavan Radhekrishna through the chanting of Radhekrishna Namam. Let the glory of Sathsangam and sathguru spread always at all times our Guruji Amma is here to cleanse us. Let us admit yourself to our Guruji Amma.
