ILA GEETHAM - OORVASI KATHA

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.
