NRUGA UPAKYANAM - BRAHMANA (SATHGURU) MAHIMA

NRUGA RAJAN narrated the evil consequences of humiliating the BRAHMINS. He explained his past life to KRISHNA BHAGAVAN as follows,

" Oh! BHAGAVAN! You are all - pervasive. You remain omnipotent, omnipresent and you are dearer to all. Your compassion is infinite. Your love is abundant. You rule the universe through your un - swerved divine command. All actions lead a man towards salvation by seeking the blessings of you. Now, i humbly pray at you to dictate my mind to reveal my past life. Obeying your divine command, let me explain my past life. I gave lakhs and lakhs of cows to BRAHMINS. The cows which were given by me remained countless in numbers. Large number of BRAHMINS took part in the YAGNA. Each of them were honoured with costiliest items. The charitable work continued for many days. Thousnads and thousands of cows were kept in the cattle field. The cows were kept as a royal treasure.

A cow belonging to a BRAHMIN mixed with my cows. Unknowingly, I gave that cow to another BRAHMIN. As per the Vedic norms, a thing that was given to a BRAHMIN should never be taken back. A person who commits this sin, will experience the torture of hell. The issue remained unnoticed by me. As a ruler, I made a great mistake of snatching the wealth of a BRAHMIN.

Both the BRAHMINS came to my court. The issue was opened in the Royal Court. I commited a sin of snatching the cow of a BRAHMIN. As apunishment, I have to receive the torture of hell. I begged at the lotus feet of BRAHMINS to save my life from this DOWNFALL. The BRAHMINS were filled with true devotion. No one can judge their inner heart. Even a curse got from them will be a boon in disguise.

I requested the BRAHMINS to spare that single cow. I requested them that instead of that single cow, I would give them one lakhs cows. To this one BRAHMIN said,

" As per the Vedic norms, the belongings of a BRAHMIN should never be snatched by undue means. Knowingly or unknowingly one should not commit the sin of humiliating the BRAHMINS. You look only at the number count. So you are equating one cow to one lakh cows. But these figures will not come in the divine account. We accept poverty as a blessing in disguise. We are not greedy. We follow self - contentment from the early ages of our life. The blessings got from us will remain a permanent treasure to you. The blessings will lead you to DEVALOKAM. There you remain for a long time as you wish. The fruits of PUNYAM got from the blessings of BRAHMINS is infinite. So, on your side you can never compensate it through material mathematics. You can never purchase BHAKTHI. I will be contented to have my cow. I don't want any thing more. I will not accept any thing other than that. "
Having spoken these words, the BRAHMIN left the royal court.

Now, I (NRUGA RAJAN) requested the other BRAHMIN to accept my offerings. To this HE said,

" I want only my cow. Even if you give 10,000 more cows in addition to the 100,000 cows, I will not accept it. To me, it is of no use. I follow the principles of true devotion. My mind will yield only to unconditional divine love and not to material means. My life is ruled by BHAGAVAN, not by material leaders in the form of king. We as BRAHMINS remain indifferent to this material world. We shed out the MAYA from our mind. We will not be carried away by your trap of granting 100,000 cows in exchange to the dreadful sin commited by you. The extent of sufferings remains like a huge rock . The material offerings remains to be like sandle particles in cmparision to them. The sin commited by you is really dreadful. Knowingly or unknowingly, you caused pain in the hearts of a true BRAHMIN. I leave from this place at the earliest. "
Having spoken these words, the BRAHMIN left the royal court.

Both the BRAHMINS left the court. I commited a sin. So, I was taken to the HELL by YAMA DHOOTHA'S.
( YAMA DARMA RAJAN REMAINS NEUTRAL IN HIS JUDGEMENTS. He never follow favouritism towards any body. He remain selfless. He obeys the divine command of BHAGAVAN. He explains the fruits of PUNYA KARMA and PAPA KARMA (PUNYA KARMA - FRUITFUL ACTIONS, PAPA KARMA - FUTILE ACTIONS). Then, HE suitably dictates the soul to take a suitable form. After attaining a suitable form, the person undergoes the sufferings of HELL. The person gets purified by it. Then he / she enters in to the higher worlds of royal luxuries namely DEVALOKAM.

YAMA DARMA RAJAN asked me, " You had performed a very big YAGNA. The fruits of PUNYA KARMA got from it, remains infinite. I cannot even judge the extent of your life in DEVALOKAM. But, at the same time you had commited a sin of humiliating the BRAHMINS through your deeds. For that sin, you have to undergo the tortures of HELL. Do you want to enjoy the fruits of PUNYA KARMA at first or else PAPA KARMA?"

YAMA DARMA RAJAN asked me to chose among PUNYA and PAPA KARMA. I chosed PAPA KARMA first. I chosed the sufferings of HELL. Having listened to my words, HE dictated me to "GO DOWNFALL". On listening to the words, I found my self falling from sky. On reaching the ground, I found that my body was changed to a lizard. I became a lizard get trapped in the barren well. I remained in the barren well for a long time as a mighty lizard.

NRUGA RAJAN told to BHAGAVAN, " Oh! BHAGAVAN! you love BRAHMINS deep in your heart. You are a generous person. You do philanthropic activities. BRAHMINS receive honours from your hands. I see you as the BHAGAVAN. You are the creator of universe. You protect the worlds. You are the destroyer of evil doers. Evil minded people has to undergo sufferings of hell. Your life makes the entire world a blissful one. I was longing for a long time, to have the DARSHAN (sight) of you. My prayer was answered. The curse given by BRAHMINS were blessings in disguise. The PUNYAM gained through them fetched me good fruits of attaining MUKTHI at the lotus feet of KRISHNA BHAGAVAN. I surrendered beautiful things on to the lotus feet of BRAHMINS. But, they are all material things of finite value. But, in return to it, the blessings given by them fetched me BHAGAVAN in my presence.

BHAGAVAN dictated my life to take care of BRAHMINS. It remains a prime duty of a king to protect the welfare of BRAHMINS ultimately leading to the prosperity of the nation. Because the BRAHMINS represents the true form of boon giving tree in human form. I was fortuned to have such noble hearts in my presence during that time. Their blessings gave me a new life. I was fortuned to have the DARSHAN of BHAGAVAN only through the blessings of them. Your divine will rules my heart and soul. The blessings of BRAHMINS rule my life towards mukthi (liberation). Without passing through them, no one can enter the world of VAIKUNTAM (LIBERATION). The SATHGURU (BRAHMINS) form the bridge between devotee and BHAGAVAN.

I had the fortune of remembering my past life. It seems to be of great surprise that how come I was able to have my past memory? I feel, it might have come from the blessings of them. The reverred souls blees each and every one. I was eagerly waiting to attain liberation from this material world of illusions. On my own, I was not able to come out of that MAYA. The blessings of BRAHMINS (SATHGURU) made my path easy. Now, I am at the lotus feet of BHAGAVAN, seeing in visible human form.

NRUGA RAJAN went to YAMA LOKAM. Even YAMA DARMA RAJAN was puzzled to predict the life span of PUNYAM as given by BRAHMINS. One can see the glory of SATHGURU FROM THIS CRYSTAL CLEAR. He was asked to enjoy the luxuries of DEVALOKAM till his heart's full. Then, from there HE will not downfall to lower worlds. But, instead they will be pushed up by SATHGURU. The SATHGURU forms the ladder. One can easily climb up in the path of BHAKTHI by making use of them. At the end of their life, they will go to VAIKUNTAM of BHAGAVAN. HE will become one among the VISHNU DHOOTHA'S.
(VISHNU DHOOTHA'S - SERVANTS OF BHAGAVAN, VAIKUNTAM - PLACE OF LIBERATION, NAMELY THE DIVINE ABODE OF BHAGAVAN.)

The blessings of SATHGURU will bring prosperity in all sense. One can enjoy the luxuries of this material world. Then after leaving this body, one can take divine celestial form and remain permanent in the divine abode of BHAGAVAN namely VAIKUNTAM. The blessings of them will bring enormous prosperity. In the same way, the curse received from them will bring utmost atrocity. They are sympathetic. Their heart is very soft. If, we cause pain to it, it ultimately affects the soul namely BHAGAVAN. So, this in turn brings problems. Thus the curse got from them will ruin one's life. Let our mind be tamed towards non - commitment of this dreadful sin. Let our mind be enchanted with the blessings of SATHGURU always.

We are fortuned to have our SATHGURU - POOJYA SHREE SHREE AMMA, in our presence. Let our words, deeds, actions, and thoughts be towards satisfying the wishes of our SATHGURU. Let the blessings of our SATHGURU - POOJYA SHREE SHREE AMMA MAKE OUR LIFE PROSPEROUS IN ALL SENSE. Let the glory of SATHSANGAM and SATHGURU be spread always.

JAI SHREE RADHEKRISHNA SATH SANG KI JAI!

JAI SHREE POOJYA SHREE SHREE AMMA!

RADHEKRISHNA...RADHEKRISHNA... RADHEKRISHNA...
