NRUGA UPAKYANAM - BRAHMANA (SATHGURU) MAHIMA
VIDE (10 -2) - 64
NRUGA RAJAN prayed to KRISHNA BHAGAVAN,
"Oh! BHAGAVAN! The YOGI's meditate on your lotus feet. Their mind gets purified through your meditation. You remain indifferent to worldly attires. No wordly actions can bind you. You are above all worldly actions. On attaining liberation, a man reaches your lotus feet. The RISHI"s meditate on your lotus feet for hundreds and hundreds of years. The YOGI's practice ASTANGA YOGA (8 folded meditation). Even after a very long time, most of them search you till their end of life. Their divine search continues in the next birth. In this way, many noble souls search you for many births. You rule the DEVA's. You are the creator of the universe. You are the protector of the universe. Your divine abode remains the ultimate destination for all human beings. You reside in each and every one as the soul in the body.
The VEDIC hymns praise your glory. You protect your devotee's without fail. Your divinity remains infinite. All divine qualities of perfection sprouts from you. Your divine incarnation in the form of KRISHNA BHAGAVAN is a blessing to one and all. You have taken this human form to destroy the evil minded persons. I am very fortune to have your DARSHAN as KRISHNA BHAGAVAN in human form. Your DARSHAN made my life purposeful and fruitful. To enjoy the fruits of PUNYA KARMA, I wish to leave for DEVALOKAM. Please permit me. Let my mind be filled with your divine DARSHAN at all times in all places. Wherever I may be, let my mind be filled with your divine DARSHAN always. You are the ultimade abode for all human beings.
The universe takes shelter at your divine form. All the worlds are blessed with your divinity. During the time of creation, Your divine will rules the entire world and a new life begins. You are the source of permanent joy. I pray at your lotus feet time and again. Wherever I may be, What ever my state may be, let my mind be surrendered on to the lotus feet of KRISHNA BHAGAVAN. Please grant me this boon. "
Having spoken those words, NRUGA RAJAN prostrated on to the lotus feet of KRISHNA BHAGAVAN. KRISHNA BHAGAVAN gave him permission to enter the DEVALOKAM. A divine flight from DEVALOKAM came there. NRUGA RAJAN entered in to it. He travelled in the sky and reached DEVALOKAM. He enjoyed the wordly luxuries as a king. He was taken to DEVALOKAM to enjoy the royal luxuries of celestial abode. He had the fortune of seeing KRISHNA BHAGAVAN IN HUMAN FORM. All these divine glories came to him through the blessings of BRAHMINS (SATHGURU).
Even the meditation done by RISHI's and YOGI's for hundreds and hundreds of years cannot match the BHAKTHI got through a SATHGURU. The blessings of SATHGURU is the opening gate way to MUKTHI (LIBERATION). BHAGAVAN COMES TO THE PLACE OF A BHAKTHA, to accept his true devotion and his unswerved faith on to his SATHGURU. The glory of SATHGURU brings BHAGAVAN nearer to a BHAKTHA. In this regard, a SATHGURU forms a bridge between BHAGAVAN AND BHAKTHA. Their blessings paves way for BHAGAVAN to reach the place of a BHAKTHA at the earliest. This path is simple. The path of passing various stages of testing times and reaching BHAGAVAN through hierarchy after leaving various worlds of celestial abode namely DEVALOKAM, RISHI LOKAM, PITHRU LOKAM, BRAHMA LOKAM etc., seems to be tedious. Any one can follow the simple path of KRISHNA BHAKTHI got through a SATHGURU.
KRISHNA BHAGAVAN narrated the glory of BRAHMINS (SATHGURU) as follows,
"Humiliationg and snatching the wealth of BRAHMINS is a dreadful sin. It resembles a fuming fire and this fire leaves nothing. It ruins the heridity of the sinner and leaves him to ashes as well as his successsive generations too. The external fire can burn the tree leaving the roots hidden in the soil. But this fire, burns the family root namely the sinner and the offsprings in the form of branches and makes them to ashes. This dreadful sin is more poisonous than any poison prevailing in the world. The poisons can be antidoted with medicines. But this sin can never be annulled with any medicine. Nothing can digest this dreadful sin. The person who snatches the wealth of BRAHMINS UNKNOWINGLY ruins the life of 3 generations including himself. The person who snatches the welath of BRAHMINS KNOWINGLY BY FORCE ruins the life of 10 generations including his life.
As a king, protecting the welfare of BRAHMINS come in the priority list of my official duties. I consider it to be my prime duty to protect the welfare of BRAHMINS ultimately leading to the prosperity of the nation. The tears coming from the deprived (BRAHMINS) is a bane to the country and can bring in various kinds of atrocities to the nation. I am afraid of this dreadful sin. So, I beseech You all, Oh! YADHAVA's! Let you never commit this sin of humiliating and hurting the BRAHMINS through your words and actions. Let you give due respect to BRAHMINS. Let their blessings be with you. In my deep heart, I love BRAHMINS. I seek their blessings in the guidance of governing the nation. I take each and every precautionary measures to save their livelihood. But then many kings spoil their life unknowingly by hurting the BRAHMINS. Sooner or later, their life will become miserable. They will lose their ruling power. They will be conquered by enemies. Soon they may lead a life of slaves. The sin commited by them will continue to affect their offsprings too.
KRISHNA BHAGAVAN stressed the importance of protecting the welfare of BRAHMINS (SATHGURU) through the life story of NRUGA RAJAN. The blessings of BRAHMINS is a permanent treasure. On the contrary, one should not commit the sin of hurting the BRAHMINS (SATHGURU) by means of their words and actions.
We are fortune to have our SATHGURU - POOJYA SHREE SHREE AMMA, in our presence. The blessings of our SATHGURU - POOJYA SHREE SHREE AMMA is a permanent treasure to us. Let our mind be surrendered on to the lotus feet of our SATHGURU - POOJYA SHREE SHREE AMMA. Let the blessings of our SATHGURU bring us KRISHNA BHAGAVAN to our place just like NRUGA RAJAN having the DARSHAN of KRISHNA BHAGAVAN in the barren well. Let the glory of SATHGURU and SATHSANGAM be spread always.
JAI SHREE POOJYA SHREE SHREE AMMA!
JAI SHREE RADHEKRISHNA SATHSANG KI JAI!
RADHEKRISHNA...RADHEKRISHNA...RADHEKRISHNA...
