SOWDHASA UPAKYANAM
BHAGEERATHAN remains an ideal for the quality of perseverance and determination. He was praying at the lotus feet of BHAGAVAN. The river Ganga was in heaven. He took the hercullian task of of bringing it down to earth. No one can ever imagine of bringing a heavenly river to earth. He took the challenge and through perseverance and determination, he achieved it. He had the full confidence of purifying the river Ganga by the power of SATHSANGAM.
The task before us, may seem to be unsurmountable. But, through constant chanting of RADHEKRISHNA NAMA JAPAM and having a unswerved confidence in the power of SATHGURU, we can taste the nectar of success in our life.
Many centuries rolled on....
In the proud heriditary of BHAGEERATHAN, there came another ruler called SOWDHASAN. He was also called as MITHRASAHAN. Some people used to call him as KALMASHANGRI.
Once SOWDHASAN went to forest, for hunting. There he was encountered by a demon. He killed the demon, but spared the demon's brother. For the revenge of it, the demon's brother disguized himself as a cook and started working in the kitchen of the royal chamber. He was waiting for a suitable time to take the revenge on SOWDHASAN.
A time came in favour of him. Once, VASISTA RISHI came to the palace of SOWDHASAN. He was the royal advisory (SATHGURU) to the proud ruling hierarchy of SOWDHASAN and his forefathers dating back to BHAGEERATHAN and his proud ancestors. The demon under the disguize of cook, took note at the arrival of VASISTA RISHI. He served the meat of human being, in a suitably modified form. On seeing the dish, VASISTA RISHI grew angry at the misconduct of SOWDHASAN. He cursed SOWDHASAN to become a demon, who ate at human beings. But, soon after the cursing, VASISTA RISHI realized that it was the tactics played by the demon.
So, VASISTA RISHI restricted the time period of curse to 12 years. On receiving the curse from VASISTA RISHI, out of anger SOWDHASAN wished to curse the SATHGURU. But, was luckily stopped by his wife namely MADHYANTHYA.
When he was about to curse by sprinkling the water, he saw the divine DARSHAN of entire world filled with human beings (Universal vision of mankind). So, left with no other option, he sprinkled the water on to his feet. So, the legs turned black.
The curse or boon given by a SATHGURU remains irreversible, except at the will of SATHGURU. It is really atrocious and ruining to think ill of SATHGURU. The hatred or angry shown at the conduct of SATHGURU, will not bring fortune in life. Knowing this divine knowledge, out of divine wisdom, MADHYANTHYA stopped SOWDHASAN. He obeyed the advice of her, just like a friend's advice (FRIEND - MITHRA). Since, he obeyed the advice of MITHRA, he was called as MITHRA SAHAN.
By sprinkling the water on to his legs, his legs turned black. So he was called as KALMASHANGRI (Some thing that describes black colour feet). SOWDHASAN became a demon, and started roaming in the forest. He saw a BRAHMIN COUPLE, in the forest, when they were about to enjoy their happy wedding life.
The demon turned SOWDHASAN was very hungry. He took the BRAHMIN in his hands. Seeing this, the wife of the BRAHMIN requested SOWDHASAN,
" We are very humble. We are the citizens of your country. By birth, you are not a demon. You belong to the proud hierarchy of IKSHVAGU. You are the husband of MADHYANTHYA DEVI, a lady of divine wisdom. We haven't yet enjoyed our family life. We need a offspring, to continue our heriditary. So, please spare my husband.
This body is the divine abode of BHAGAVAN. When this body becomes dead, the soul goes out of the body. This body behaves as an instrument in gaining the material and spiritual prosperity, leading to salvation. So, killing a human being will ruin all these great beneficiaries. So, killing a person is a deadly sin. So, please don't do it. She begged at the demon, like any thing to spare her husband.
My husband is a BRAHMIN. He has the universl vision of seeing BHAGAVAN in each and every one. He remains pure and virgin in his characters. He meditates thouroughly on to the lotus feet of BHAGAVAN. You belong to the proud heriditary of IKSHVAGU. You are born in the heriditary of noble rulers. Please don't go away from the path of righteousness. Please spare my husband.
It is a sin to kill a cow. In the same way, it is a deadly sin to kill a BRAHMIN of poise character. So, please don't do it. Even after all these explanations, if you feel like eating him, please eat me first. I am dead, at the loss of him. Please eat me first. I want to leave this world, before my husband. "
When she was begging at him like this, SOWDHASAN took the BRAHMIN by his hand and ate him just like a tiger preying at a cow. On seeing this, the wife of BRAHMIN gave a curse to SOWDHASAN.
Do you want to know the curse and the after effects of it.
Wait till the next issue.
Till then, let us chant RADHEKRISHNA NAMAM continously and receive the bliss of BHAGAVAN. 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.....
