' short stories to regain your faith '

Let us first have a short recap of the charitram of Haseena and Hameeda which we had been enjoying for the last so many issues.

Haseena was the daughter of a rich merchant in an Arab country. She was fortunate enough to make the fruitful use of her ears by listening to the leelas of Bagawan Krishna narrated by a Mahan who happened to visit her fathers place. After hearing much about Krishna from the Mahan Haseena developed a strong desire to see Him. Moreover the Mahan was telling them about Brindavan mahima also.  This in turn aroused in her an intense urge to visit Brindavan. She had a friend named Hameeda. She started telling Hameeda whatever she heard from the Mahan. Hameeda was also intrigued by her narration of Krishna. Both of them talked for hours together about Krishna. These two girls wanted to find out whether whatever the Mahan said was all real. Their thirst to know about Krishna was growing inside. They made a vow between themselves to some how go to India and see for themselves. The Mahan had told her that whatever we ask for, Krishna fulfills that. Now these two girls dared to bet with Krishna Himself to take them to Brindavan and did chanting His nama in return. 

So we all are eagerly waiting to know whether Haseena and Hameeda succeeded in their plan of visiting Brindavan. Lets now see what leela Krishna plays with them and how they enjoy and experience His grace in each and every step of their life.

About the same time some diamond merchants from India came there. The girls questioned them also about Krishna. The merchants too were very happy to talk about Krishna. They also told them everything they knew to the girls. Hearing all they requested their father to allow them also to go to India with the merchants. Radhekrishna!

He refused as they were young girls and cannot be sent with unknown people to an unknown country which is correct logically also. But the girls had immense faith in the Mahan’s words and were chanting continuously praying. At a certain point the girl’s namajapam ultimately changed their fathers mind.  This may sound thoroughly unbelievable but it is the truth. It happens. It has happened so in many cases. Bhagawan resides in everybody’s heart. The girl’s prayers reached the Krishna residing in their father’s heart and induced him to give them a positive reply. The Aantharyami (the one who resides inside ones heart) knows everything and can do anything. He uses us as His instrument as per His wishes.  That is why we are asked to chant His nama (name) at all conditions. Our chanting does help us through the Aantharyami.

So finally their father agreed to let them with the merchants to India under the condition that they should bring them back safely after their business in India. So when the merchnts finished their business there and started for Bharatha Bhoomi. The girls also were with them. Radhekrishna! Blessed indeed are the girls to enter Bharatha Bhoomi. In bhakthi Bharatha Bhoomi is the richest in the world. It is the only karma Bhoomi. All others are Bhoga Bhoomi, just to enjoy all sorts of worldly luxuries.

The group left the place and travelled by camel, horse, ship etc to reach their destination. They travelled along many countries and took many days to cover the distance. But all the while Haseena and Hameedas mind was fully preoccupied with the description of Krishna and Brindavanam. Radhekrishna! This is real dhyaanam. Narada Maharshi in his Bhakthi sutram has stated that:-
“Sarvathaa sarva bhaaavena nischinthayaye Bhagavan eva bhajaniyah
Athah seeghrameva aavirbhavathi anubhavathi cha bhaktham.”
The Lord should be worshipped whole heartedly always without any other thoughts. Then He will appear before the devottee and bless him.

As fate would have it while they were sailing in a ship some pirates from somewhere attacked their ship and started looting the wealth. Many of the merchants were killed by the pirates. Now Haseena and Hameeda were left helpless as they had nobody else known to them. They hid themselves in the ship to avoid the looters. But unfortunately they were traced by some villains who were after their beauty and youth. The girls started trembling in front of their lustful looks. But even then in the heart of hearts they stuck to the Nama with full faith that Krishna would definitely save them. This is faith! Whatever happens my Lord Krishna will not leave me should be the attitude.

The great king and bhaktha Thondaimaan chakravarthi had this faith.  When the family of a brahmin entrusted with him to be looked after died uncared for, he fully realising his mistake surrendered to the Lord with full faith to be saved from the situation. Bhagawan heard his prayers and gave life to them thus saving him. It was purely his mistake that he forgot about them and ignored them. Though he had failed in his duty when he realised his mistake and with full faith surrendered to the Lord, Bhagawan had to come to his rescue. The girls too with full faith were chanting the nama and waiting to be rescued by Krishna some how.

Were they rescued by the Lord? If so how? We will see in our next issue. Till then we will also wait chanting His nama. Radhekrishna!

This topic will include the image of divine mahatma; their birth month and their birth star !

Radhe Krishna

With the blessings of Guruji and Guruji Amma I would like to share  Guruji's Krupai.  Guruji always used to tell the sloka from gita "ananya chintayanto mam ye jana paryupasathey tesham nityapi yuktanam yogakshemam vahamyaham." Always remember me and I would look after you.  With Guruji's blessings I had an experience which made me understand the meaning of this sloka.

With Guruji's and Guruji Amma’s krupai I got a job in CTS (Cognizant Technologies Solution) and my postings were in Pune

First I was really worried about how would I stay alone in Pune and where would I stay? I said to Guruji about this.  Guruji said to me that you are not alone Bhagwan Krishna is always there with you and he would surely arrange for some one there.  Guruji's words gave me confidence and then onwards I never thought about how I would stay

Two weeks before I got my joining date which was just within a week’s time.  At that time I thought that now it’s just one week and nothing was arranged but then I remembered Guruji's words that Bhagwan Krishna would take care of everything.

Now the time went on and I had to start for Pune the next day until then I was not aware of where I would be staying.

As Guruji says yedurchaya (co incidentally), I went to Guruji's shishyay house that day.  At that time they gave me address of a place where I could stay.  It was really Guruji's Krupai.

Guruji gave me such a place to stay where the people staying near there are devotees of Guruji and from where my office is near. With Guruji's nirhetuka krupai (unconditional grace) I got to stay at a very nice place. I understood that if we leave all our responsibilities to Him he would take care of everything and we need not have to worry for anything.
