SOWDHASA UPAKYANAM
The wife of BRAHMIN gave a curse. She was shocked to see the massacre of her husband by a demon. She shouted at SOWDHASAN, " You are a man of deviant behaviour. Your mind was corrupted. We were about to enjoy our married life. But, then before me having a pleasure with my husband, you committed the deadly sin of killing him. Now, I am craving for him. I am left with no other option. I can never give birth to a offspring through him. I was forcibly seperated from him, by you. You are the root cause of all my sufferings. I curse you that, your life will end when you indulge in carnal pleasure with a lady."
After cursing SOWDHASAN, she made a very firm decision. She wished to leave this material world. SHe accumulated the bones of her husband. She burnt the left over remains of her husband's body in the fire. She entered the divine fire and ended her life. She attained the divine celestial worlds like DEVALOKHAM.
SOWDHASAN roamed in forest as a beast for 12 years. The period of curse received from VASISTA RISHI was over. He regained his originality. He returned to his kingdom. He was enjoying the royal luxuries happily to his hearts full. Once, he wished to enjoy the carnal pleasure wih his wife namely MADHYANTHYA DEVI. She wisely stopped him. She reminded him about the curse given by the wife of BRAHMIN.
Then he forsaked the carnal pleasure completely. So, he was left with no offspring. The ruling hierarchy became a destitiude, with the lack of successor to rule it. Relaizing the situation, VASISTA RISHI, wished to change the destiny of SOWDHASAN. Through the divine grace of SATHGURU, the couple were fortuned to have a offspring to continue their ruling sceptre.
The curse givne by VASISTA RISHI remained irreversible. It had the ill - effects of receiving one more curse from the wife of BRAHMIN. But, all these ill - effects were once again washed away by the divine grace of SATHGURU. The divine grace of SATHGURU is abundant. They have the power to change the destiny of one's life. The curse or boon received from them has a great significanc ein one's life. Even the curse received from a SATHGURU bestows great lessons as a blesssings in disguize. But, one should never think ill of a SATHGURU and receive a curse from HIM.
MADHYANTHYA became pregnant. She was carrying the foetus in the womb. A divine mystery lies in this. She was carrying the foetus for 7 years accumulating to 84 months. But then, she never gave birth the child to the external world.
Now, see the divine power of SATHGURU. The child born through the divine grace of SATHGURU remains an exception to the material context. The divien grace of SATHGURU is exceptional. The divine happenings crossing in the life of SHISHYA's (devotees) by the power of SATHGURU, remains a miracle to the material world.The same thing happened to MADHYANTHYA DEVI.
Through suitable means and by using a hard stone as an instrument, VASISTA RISHI paved way for the birth of the child. The child was born with the help of a hard stone. So, he was called as ASHMAKAN (ASHMAKA - hard stone). ASHMAKAN ruled the entire world under his sceptre. He enjoyed the material prosperities. After the end of his life, he attained the higher celestial wrolds of DEVA LOKHAM. His life ended happily through the divine grace of SATHGURU.
The son of ASHMAKAN was called as MOOLAKAN. He was also called as NAREE KAVACHAN.
A story runs behind this...
In the divine incarnation of BHAGAVAN, there comes a significant role, in the name of PARASURAMAR. He was born to RISHI JAMADHAGNI and RENUKA DEVI. A ruler committed the deadly sin of killing JAMADHAGNI RISHI. For the revenge of it, PARASURAMAR made a pledge to kill the 21 successive generations of any ruling kingdom, spreading along the entire earth. PARASURAMAR took revenge on rulers and HE had shown to the world that the power of a BRAHMIN SADHU is enormous and is far superior to any tyrant ruler, prevailing in the entire earth, at any point of time.
It is during this time, MOOLAKAN was born. So, he was protected by ladies under the disguize of a female child. So, he was called as NAREE KAVACHAN (One who is protected by ladies). NAREE - Ladies KAVACHA - Protection.
PARASURAMAR killed the 21 successive generations of rulers, in the entire world. There remained no ruler, except for MOOLAKAN, in the entire world, representing the root of a big tree of KSHATHRIYA's (Rulers). Thus from MOOLAKAN, the tree of KSHATHRIYA's (rulers) started sprouting once again. In the proud heriditary of MOOLAKAN, came the ruler by name KATVANGAN.
We have already seen the KATVANGA MUKTHI (Salvation to Katvangan) in one of our earlier articles. KATVANGAN praises the glory of BRAHMINS (sadhu's). He says, " I love BRAHMINS. They are so dearer to me. I will forsake my sons, welath, ruling kingdom as well as my wife but not the divine company of BRAHMINS ( SATHGURU's company namely SATHSANGAM).
Let my mind be always in the path of righteousness. The BRAHMINS have the universal vision of seeing the BHAGAVAN in each and every one. Through their company, I was fortuned to have the divine mercy of BHAGAVAN. I am fortuned to know my life span. I am left with 24 minutes time in my life span. Now, I fully devote my life towards devotion. Let me attain salvation. "
Thus KATVANGAN attained the salvation within 24 minutes. We are fortuned to have this life. But, are we spending every 24 minutes of time usefully in devotion leading to true happiness?
One can answer this question with acknowledgement, within his / her mind. We are fortuned to have our SATHGURU and SATHSANGAM. Let our life be a blissful one.
JAI SHREE POOJYA SHREE SHREE AMMA!
JAI SHREE RADHEKRISHNA SATHSANG KI JAI!
RADHEKRISHNA....RADHEKRISHNA....RADHEKRISHNA....
