NIMHI VAMSA VARNANAM

NIMHI VAMSA VARNANAM

(Vide 9:13, 9th Skandham, 13th Adhyayam)

The curse got from a SATHGURU remains irreversible, except at the divine grace bestowed by them. Only through the divine grace of SATHGURU, the effects of a curse can be annulled. Even BHAGAVAN does not deny the curse given by a MAHATHMA (SATHGURU). The words coming from a MAHATHMA (Sathguru) can very well be taken as the words of BHAGAVAN.

The curse given by VASISTA RISHI, came to reality. NIMHI RAJAN fell down on earth. NIMHI RAJAN died. The BRAHMINS, who were performing the YAGNAM, preserved the body of NIMHI RAJAN with the help of medicated oils. Time passed on. With the divine grace of BHAGAVAN, the SATHRA YAGAM was completed harmoniously.

The DEVA’S were pleased by the earnest prayer made by the BRAHMINS. The DEVA’S appeared on the scene. The BRAHMINS prostrated on to the lotus feet of DEVA’S. The DEVA’S asked the BRAHMINS to seek a boon from them. The BRAHMINS requested the DEVA’S, “We were pleased by the kind ruling of NIMHI RAJAN. A country without a ruler behaves like a destitute. We need our ruler, namely NIMHI RAJAN. If it is within your powers, please bring HIM back to life. Let him be given a human life.”

To this the DEVA’S said, “Let NIMHI RAJAN regain life”. On listening to these words, the soul of NIMHI RAJAN replied,
“Please don’t bind me in the eternal ocean of SAMSARAM (cycle of birth and death). Let me not take a human birth, kept inside a human body. The body remains mortal. The soul remains immortal. Let me attain salvation from the cycle of birth and death. The RISHI’s, who had conquered the MAYA (Illusion of materialism) detached themselves from the cravings of the mind.

The mind wanders in all directions, in search of pleasure. The sensual cravings bind the life in iron chains, unknowingly. The life of a human being passes on in the dire delusion of materialism. The RISHI’s meditated on to the lotus feet of BHAGAVAN and escaped from the MAYA. Their mind was fully absorbed in BHAGAVAN. The chanting of NAMAM vibrated their body with devotion. They abandoned the luxuries of material world, just like passing things appearing in a dream world. Through constant meditation of NAMA JAPAM, they attained salvation from the cycle of birth and death.

The path of devotion leads to salvation. I wish to attain salvation from the material life of illusion. The human life arising out of human body leads to many sorrows and sufferings and fills the mind with horror. The uncertainty of life occupies the mind and people suffer a lot. I don’t wish to take such a human birth. This kind of life is typical to the life of a fish. The fish was forced to make a living in the horrifying ocean, amidst of predators in the form of big fishes. To escape from the ocean, if it enters the land, then the life of fish comes to an end in the hands of fishermen. The race of “fittest the survival” holds well in the material world. The human beings lead their life in stiff competition. The death enters the lifespan of a human being at an appropriate time. The appropriate time of death was symbolically represented in the form of YAMA DHARMA RAJAN, one who rules the hell. No one can escape from the death. The human life seems to be short, yet precious. I don’t wish to lead the life in the MAYA of materialism. I wish to be an observer of the world. Please don’t bind me in the cave of a human body.”

On listening to the enlightened speech of NIMHI RAJAN, the DEVA’S said,
“Let HIM not be put in the cycle of MAYA. Let NIMHI RAJAN live in the eyelids of each and every human being and make a living through the movements of eyelids. Let him observe the happenings of the material world. Let HIM eternally live in the MAYA, without being affected by it. Let him lead the life of detachment in this mighty world of materialism.”

On attaining a unique boon from the DEVA’S, the NIMHI RAJAN grew happy. NIMHI RAJAN started living in the eyelids of human beings.

The BRAHMINS thought for a while. The country without a ruler behaves like a destitute. So they took the dead body of NIMHI RAJAN and through a medical process, they gave birth to a baby artificially. (It is similar to artificial insemination and gene cloning. Nowadays we are listening about test tube babies. The same thing was done through the body of NIMHI RAJAN. Vide – 9th Skandham, 13th Adhyayam, Slokhas 12, 13.)

The baby was named as JANAGAN (One who gave birth to children having got his own life from a dead body). JANAGAN continued the proud hereditary of NIMHI RAJAN through the off springs. He was also called as VAIDHEGAN or VIDHEGAN. He was artificially made from the dead cells of a human body. So he was called as VAIDHEGAN (Artificially made human being).

The process of test tube babies involves the mixing of cells to form an embryo. In short, it can be termed as MIXING. In olden days people used to extract the butter from the milk, through continuous squashing with the help of wooden stick. Here the butter was extracted from the milk through the process of EXTRACTION. In the same way, from the cells of a dead body, the human life was extracted. The SANSKRIT word MATHANAM literally means extraction. JANAGAN was also called as MITHILAN (One who got his life through the process of MATHANAM. A baby born of MATHANAM was called as MITHILAN). The ruling kingdom of MITHILAN was called as MITHILAI. In the proud hereditary of MITHILAN comes SEETHA MATHA, the divine companion of BHAGAVAN SRI RAMA.

The glory of SATHGURU remains great. See the life of NIMHI RAJAN. He lives eternally in the MAYA (ILLUSION OF MATERIALISM) but remains an observer in a detached way. He observes the fantasies of human beings through their eyelids. We open and close our eyes time and again. But have we ever thought of NIMHI RAJAN and the divine glory of SATHGURU.

Do we ever check the cravings of the mind, on opening the eyes? Do we ever observe the material world as a illusion, just like NIMHI RAJAN? Perhaps, the answer lies within us. The eyes are given to enjoy the divine beauty of BHAGAVAN. Let the blessings of SATHGURU, lead us to observe the world without getting into the trap of MAYA. Even the curse turns the life of a SHISHYA to a great altar in the material life. Then what to say about the boon got from a SATHGURU, in the form of blessings? It cannot be explained in human words. The divine glory of SATHGURU remains unreachable to human words and expressions.

We are fortuned to have our SATHGURU – POOJYA SHREE SHREE AMMA, in our presence. Let us lead in the path of devotion. Let our life be blissful. Let the glory of SATHGURU and SATHSANGAM spread to each and every one in the world. Let the chanting of RADHEKRISHNA NAMAM purify the entire world. Let the glory of SATHGURU and SATHSANGAM be spread always.

JAI SHREE POOJYA SHREE SHREE AMMA!

JAI SHREE RADHE KRISHNA SATHSANG KI JAI!

RADHEKRISHNA….RADHEKRISHNA….RADHEKRISHNA…

NIBHI VAMSA VARNANAM

Vide 9 - 13,
9 th Skandham, 13 th Adhyayam

In the proud heriditary of IKSHVAGU, there comes another ruler by name NIBHI. IKSHVAGU had a son by name NIBHI. He was a proud ruler known to all. NIBHI performed a very big YAGNA (divine sacrifice). The YAGNA performed by him was a divine one, running for longer years of time. The YAGNA was called as SATHRA YAGAM.

NIBHI prayed at the lotus feet of VASISTA RISHI (SATHGURU) to perform the rituals of YAGNA. To this VASISITA Rishi replied, "Oh! Mighty ruler! I am happy in accepting your invitation. But, then DEVENDRAN (ruler of heaven) was running a SATHRA YAGAM. He asked me to attend it. To his request, I have already gave my word and promised him that, I would be attending the YAGNA without fail. I have to keep up my word. Let me complete the YAGNAM of Devendran. After finishing it, I will return to your place. Till such tiem, wait for me. " NIBHI remained silent, after listening these words from VASISTA RISHI.

VASISTA RISHI went to the SATHRA YAGAM of DEVENDRAN. He did the YAGAM perfectly with utmost devotion. After finishing it, VASISTA RISHI came to the place ofNIBHI.

One strange thing was happening...

NIBHI was a true devotee. He had the true wisdom of divinity. He understood the reality of life. This life remains unstable. The soul residing in the body, can leave the body at any point of time. This life is short. This life is running short. No one can understand the destiny of one's life.

The SATHRA YAGAM need to be continued for many years. I am waiting for VASISTA RISHI. But, then the right time had not yet come. I am running short of my life. Let me start the YAGNAM. Knowing the uncertainity of life, NIBHI RAJAN took the risk of starting the YAGNAM without the presence of VASISTA RISHI (SATHGURU).

VASISTA RISHI came to the place of NIBHI RAJAN. He was shocked to see the YAGNAM being performed by some other BRAHMINS. NIBHI RAJAN committed the greatest mistake of disobeying the command of SATHGURU. VASISTA RISHI kept his promise alive. After finishing the YAGNAM of DEVENDRAN, HE came to the place of NIBHI. The SATHGURU always think about the welfare of SHISHYA (Devotee). They never forget their words and promises. They will keep up their promise. On the other hand, the SHISHYA should seek the qualities of patience and perseverance in their life. The golden periods of fortune and prosperity will struck in the life of each and every SHISHYA, without fail. To this end, SHISHYA has to go by the means of devotion and should have the determined faith in the words of SATHGURU.

NIBHI RAJAN gave utmost importance to the rituals at the expense of SATHGURU. This remains a greatest sin. The SATHGURU brings the BHAGAVAN hidden in our body as a soul. Before the glory of SATHGURU, no ritual of any high value remains comparable. Their divine mercy of bestowing the divine grace of BHAGAVAN remains a huge mountain in comparison to the rituals as a sack of sand particles.

VASISTA RISHI grew angry at the misconduct of NIBHI as a SHISHYA. VASISTA RISHI cursed NIBHI RAJAN, " Let the body of NIBHI RAJAN engulfed in the "EGO" of 'WISDOM' be fell on the ground. Let him die. "

NIBHI RAJAN grew angry. He lost his senses. Against the norms of divinity, NIBHI RAJAN gave a curse to VASISTA RISHI. As a divine rule, a SHISHYA (Devotee) should never think ill of a SATHGURU. NIBHI RAJAN cursed VASISTA RISHI, " Oh! Reverred BRAHMIN! You are greedy. You went to the place of DEVENDRAN for the material sake. Let your body made of greediness be fell on the ground."

In BHAGAVATHAM, no more explanation was given about the after effects of the curse of NIBHI RAJAN. A great moral lies behind this. The curse gave by a SATHGURU remains a blessings in disguize. The curse gave by a SATHGURU will bring glory and prosperity to the successive generation of SHISHYA. But, on the contrary if a SHISHYA think ill of a SATHGURU, then it will ruin the life of SHISHYA. It is advisable that never we should resort to such destiny in our life.

It is a divine norm to think about the welfare of mankind. Let our mind think good things. Let us speak good words. Let our conduct be good. Let our mind be fixed on the good things of life. Let our mind be purified by the RADHEKRISHNA NAMAM. Let us never clinch to the wrong notions of life. Let our senses namely speaking and hearing be focussed towards devotion. It is a sin to speak about the ruining of a SHISHYA's life. To avoid it, in BHAGAVATHAM, no more explanation was given to the outcome of the curse of NIBHI.

Wait till next issue to know about the glory of VASISTA RISHI (SATHGURU)

By listening and speaking about the evil things, we are unnecessarily adding fuel to the fire of evil. Let us never do it, as a SHISHYA. On the contrary, the words of SATHGURU may be about the evils of society. Because their words will cleanse the evils of society. They are born for the welfare of mankind. They are born to cleanse the sins and the evils of mankind. As a divne role, they preach about the ways and means to ward off the evils of mankind.

The behaviour of a SATHGURU remains a mystery. We have to chant RADHEKRISHNA NAMAM continously to keep our self humble enough to accept the words of SATHGURU.

We are fortuned to have our SATHGURU - POOJYA SHRI SHRI AMMA, in this life. Let us use this life fruitfully. Let the glory of RADHEKRISHNA NAMAM and SATHGURU be spread always. Let the RADHEKRISHNA NAMAM as given by POOJYA SHRI SHRI AMMA, reverberate the entire world.


JAI SHREE POOJYA SHREE SHREE AMMA!

JAI SHREE RAHDEKRISHNA SATHSANG KI JAI!

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