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…
