SAGARA CHARITHRAM
Vide 9 - 8,
(9 th Skandam, 8 th Adhyayam)
Once upon a time, there live a mighty emperor by name BHAHUKAN. He was ruling his country and gathered a mass support from the neighbouring emperors. As days rolled on, many emperors got envy at the success of BHAHUKAN. Once, they made a devilish plot and attacked BHAHUKAN, in an unexpected way. As he was unprepared for the war, BHAHUKAN was defeated by the enemies. He was forced to leave his country. BHAHUKAN and his wife left the palace and went to a forest. She was pregnant, during that time.
In the forest, they met a great sage by name HOWRVA RISHI. He was a SATHGURU, in all respect. BHAHUKAN's wife wished to end her life. She was saved by HOWRVA RISHI. The SATHGURU preached her about the glory of human birth. The RISHI explained her about the evil consequences of ending her life, against the divine will of BHAGAVAN. BHAHUKAN's wife got enlightened by the words of SATHGURU. She gave birth to a child. She handed over the child at the lotus feet of SATHGURU and seeked the blessings of SATHGURU.
The SATHGURU gave his blessings to the new born child. He named the child as SAGARAN. BHAHUKAN's wife was served with a food containing poison. As per the divine will of BHAGAVAN, she was luckily saved from the dreadly poison. But the poison entered in to the child's body. So, the baby was poisoned right from the womb. Owing to this reason, the RISHI named him as SAGARAN (SAGARAN - A child born with poison in his body, right from mother's womb).
In a worldly context, one can expect the child to grow in a wrong way. Sonce it was poisoned, many people will fear about his over-all well-being. But, that was not true, in the case of SAGARAN. He received the blessings of SATHGURU. The blessings of SATHGURU can change the destiny of one's life.
SAGARAN was brought up in a healthy divine environment, under the supervision of a SATHGURU, namely HOWRVA RISHI. Even though, he was weak right from his birth, he grew stronger and stronger as days rolled on. That is the glory and the divine mystery of a SATHGURU's divine grace and blessings. Their blessings can reincarnate divinity in one's life. This reincarnation of divinity will bring in a new phase of life, leading to rejeuvenation and revivification.
He became very strong in mind and body. He gathered a huge army and showed his bravery in the battle field. He regained his kingdom and became the emperor of his country. He conquered many nations. As years passed on, he became all - powerful, in ruling each and every nation in the world. He ruled the entire world, under his sceptre. Throughout his life, he seeked the blessings of SATHGURU. He obeyed the orders of SATHGURU and was fortunate to have a SATHGURU like HOWRVA RISHI.
During the past life, he was driven out from the country. His mother was suffering in the forest. Usually people do not welcome loses in life. At the onset of a small defeat, people lose confidence in BHAGAVAN and to the words of SATHGURU. But then, that is not the right attitude towards divinity and devotion. We should have the courage to accept the loses as blessings in disguise, as per the divine will of BHAGAVAN. During the hours of loses, we should seek the blessings of SATHGURU. SAGARAN's mother was fortunate to have a SATHGURU like HOWRVA RISHI.
She lost a very small landscape in this vast world. But for the loss of it, she received an unsurmountable treasure, namely the SATHGURU. To gain a SATHGURU, one can accept the loses in life as a blessings. But, one should not leave the divine blessings of SATHGURU, for the sake of material comforts. The material comforts come and go in life, just like the passing waves in an ocean.
The wave come nearer to us. When we wish to touch it, they go back instantaneously beyound our control. We eagerly await for another wave to touch us. But the same old story repeats. In the same way, the waves of pleasure in the form of material comforts, come and go in this ocean of life. The waves oscillate to and fro in the external world. But, deep within the ocean, there lies a dorment silence, which remains all - powerful, at all times. The power of SATHGURU remains like this dorment silence of an ocean. If we catch at this dorment power, we can control the external ramifications of life.
The hidden power lies in the divine grace of SATHGURU. SAGARAN's mother was fortunate to catch this hidden divine power of a SATHGURU, during the testing times of life. She was beaten ferociously by the wave of life, in this mighty ocean of birth and death cycle. But then, she was fortunate to seek the blessings of SATHGURU. Millions and millions of people enter into motherhood, during each and every day.
But, how many mothers are fortunate to seek the blessings of SATHGURU?
We are fortune to have our SATHGURU - POOJYA SHRI SHRI AMMA, in our presence.
Let our life be filled with the divine grace of SATHGURU.
JAI SHREE RADHEKRISHNA SATHSANG KI JAI!
JAI SHREE POOJYA SHREE SHREE AMMA!
RADHEKRISHNA...RADHEKRISHNA...RADHEKRISHNA...
