 Achyutha Priyaa

“Sa vai manaH krishnapadaaravindayor vachaamsi vaikuntagunaanuvarnnane
Karau harer mandira maarjanaadishu sruthim chakaara achyutha sathkathodaye”

The great bhaktha Ambarisha, says Srimad Bhagavatham, surrendered his mind to the holy Feet of the Lord, his words for the description of Vaikunta, his hands for cleaning Bhagawan Sri Hari’s temple, and his ears to hear the stories of Achyutha. What a great bhaktha! Bhagavatham indicates us how to dedicate our life to Bhagavan Krishna through such stories of great Bhakthas. Then only our life will become fruitful and meaningful. Ambarisha lived like that and Lord Krishna accpeted him as His favourite child.

Place your mind at the lotus feet of Krishna and experience the true and unlimited happiness. That is the purpose of human life. Unfortunately we deviate from our path and go behind the worldly matters and suffer. But the Sathguru comes at the right moment and guides the jeevas to the right direction. Such is the greatness of Sathgurus. The body, mind, and sense organs may be running behind petty things but the Aatma is pining for Bhagavan deep inside.  Its cries are not heard by the body, mind or senses as ego is ruling over. But the Sathguru, however far may be, hears the cry of the Aatma and reaches out to save it and fulfills its needs by giving Bhagavath bhakthi and His nama. Radhekrishna!!

Haseena a muslim girl in an Arab country was fortunate to meet a Sathguru who gave her plenty of satsangam. One of our Mahatmas has rightly stated the importance of satsangam i.e., “Sathsangathve Nissangathvam, Nisangathve Nirmohatvam, Nirmohatve Nishchalataavam, Nischalatatve Jeevan mukthi”. In short we can very clearly and undoubtedly state that satsangam is the easiest path of attaining mukthi (salvation). Prachinaa parikshid was able to attain the dhyanam of Bagawan only after being engaged in a satsangam with Naradha Maharishi, Narada Maharishi’s satsangam only promoted and made Vyasar realize the importance of Bhagavatham and involve him in the holy work of gifting us with this great epic, Parikshid maharaja attained moksha only due to the satsangam of Sukha Brahma Maharishi, Sownakadi Munivargal were fortunate enough to hear Bhagavatham only as they got  a sangam(companionship) with Soothebhauranigal, Dunduhari attained moksha on hearing the satsangam of Gokarnana which in turn inspired others to hear satsangam with a great dedication and attain moksha. Satsangam is really very precious than anything else in this world. Satsangam is the only thing which provides happiness to our Aathma, and which can be enjoyed and experienced without putting in any strain, efforts or without spending money. Hence we should make it a point to experience as much satsangam as possible.

Once it so happened that there aroused a debate between Vashishtar and Vishvamitra Maharishi. Vishvamitra Maharishi being a Tapasvi was of the opinion that Tapaobalam (power gained from tapas) is supreme and utmost than anything else in this world. But Vashista Maharishi refused to accept it saying that there is one thing in this world which is even more significant than Tapobalam. On hearing this Vishmamitrar got angry and started arguing with Vashistar by stating the importance of Tapas. Vashistar laughed hearing the comments of Vishvamitrar and said the only thing which is significant and supreme than anything else in this world is Sathsangam.Vishvamitrar got extremely angry. He said how can sathsangam where people just sit in a relaxed manner and listen to the stories of Bagawan and His bhaktha be compared with a Tapasvi who involves himself in such immense effort of controlling his mind by disturbing his body? He said how can people who listen to sathsangam gain more benefit than a Tapasvi? Both  firmly sticked to their own opinion and at last Vishvamitrar said we shall come to a conclusion only after consulting some one who is not only a Tapasvi but at the same time enjoys and experiences sathsangam also i.e., one who knows the importance of both. Hence at last after enormous thinking Vishvamitrar decided to take the opinion of Aadesheshan (1000 headed snake who provides and proves to be the best and the most comfortable bed for our Bagawan).

Vishvamitrar narrated the entire incident to Aadesheshan and asked him to help them to arrive at a conclusion. Hearing this Aadesheshan who holds the Bhoomi (earth) on his head laughed and said he shall reply to this question in a relaxed manner if anyone among them holds this bhoomi for sometime. Vishvamitrar very instantly said that it was not at all a difficult job for him as he has gained a lot of tapobalam from his so many years’ tapas. Hence he said I shall hold this bhoomi by conferring just
10000years tapobalam from the total strength and power I have gained from my tapas and readily accepted the bhoomi form Aadesheshan. But unfortunately this lasted for sometime only. Vishvamitrar could not stand with it anymore and hence gently returned the bhoomi to Aadesheshan. Now it was the turn of Vashistar. He said by conferring just half a minute of strength which I have gained by listening sathsangam during my life time I shall like to hold this bhoomi. Aadesheshan gave it to Vashistar and Vashistar went on holding it without experiencing any hardships. This went on for sometime and now Vishvamitrar asked Aadesheshan to reply to their question. Aadesheshen laughed and said the answer to their question is self explanatory. He said when Vashistar is still holding the bhoomi without any difficulty on the strength of his sathsangam which u couldn’t hold inspite of your tapobalam this in it reveals that sathsangam is superior to tapobalam. Such is the greatness of sathsangam. 

Haseena was fortunate to get the sathsangam of that Mahan. She lent her ears to him. She heard the Achyutha stories presented lively by the Mahan. Hearing Bhagawan’s leelas turns the mind towards His direction. This happened with Haseena also. Slowly she was losing her heart to the ‘Hridaya choran’(stealer of ones heart). The Mahan told her about the place of His leelas – The great Brindavanam.

Brinda devi was a great devotee of Bhagawan. She had a husband called Jalandharan who was an Asura. Bhagawan was bearing silently all the atrocities done by the asura for the sake of His devotee Brinda. When a stage came where He could tolerate no more He killed the asura. Bhagawan was very reluctant to face Brinda devi. But she consoled Him saying that He has done only well for the asura by stopping him from further sins. Pleased with her answer Bhagawan gave her a boon. Due to the boon she was born as the forest Brindavanam waiting for the Lord to come and tread upon her. Bhagawan did all sorts of leelas at Brindavanam only.

It is such a place that great Bhakthas like Andal, Meera, Chaithanya Mahaprabhu etc have longed to go and live. The mere mention of the word Brindavanam itself was able to take them to a samadhi level.  Meera and Chaithanya Mahaprabhu used to faint hearing Brindavanam. It is the sacred place where Krishna did vana bhojanam with the Gopars, where He lured Brahma by His maya, where Indra’s ego was suppressed, where He conducted Rasa leela with His gopis, where Chaithanya Mahaprabhu broke down and wept aloud for Krishna, where the blind devotee Surdas lived and had the darsan of the Lord and where innumerable bhakthas came and walked over as Krishna has marked her with His Foot marks as His own.

The Mahan was explaining Haseena the innumerable leelas of Bhagavan done at Brindavanam. Hearing these stories triggered a longing in her to visit Brindavanam and see Krishna.  Hasseena had a friend named Hameeda. According to different versions of the story they belonged to a Muslim country either in Egypt or Arabia.  Anyway Haseena was enchanted by the description of Krishna. The name itself seemed to haunt her.  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. This is what is needed in our life. As Ambarisha did we should also talk only about Krishna and His bhakthas.  Often people waste their precious time talking about unwanted things and gossips which fetches nothing in return. Talking about Krishna and His bhakthas becomes satsangam. The Aatma gains a lot from that. It purifies one’s thoughts and actions. Our prarabdha (Deeds of previous birth) gets itself burned. Talking otherwise brings only misery upon us as it leads to desire, fear, jealousy, anger, selfishness and many more bad qualities. We should be very careful in using our tongue. God has created it for singing His glory only. If we misuse it there is no guarantee that we will get this faculty in our next birth. If we waste our present life it can be never corrected or compensated. We can only keep ourselves still far away from Bhagavan who is our ultimate destination.

  These two girls wanted to find out whether whatever the Mahan said was all real. They fell into the category of Jingyaasu. There are mainly 4 types of bhakthas says Lord Krishna in Geetha. One is the Aartha who is the afflicted. He needs to be released from the clutches of miseries. For that purpose he comes to the Lord. Second comes Arthaarthi.  He has some or other needs for worldly possessions to be fulfilled and for that approaches God. The third one is a Jingyaasu who wants to understand and know the reality. There should be an eagerness to know the truth in everybody’s mind. That will lead to the ultimate reality. Jingyaasu is a one who thirsts to know the reality. If that thirst is there then God is easily available. Then the last category is Gyaani who has understood and realised God. He is a fine bhaktha. Radhekrishna!!

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.  We only have to do chanting His name. They wanted to test for themselves and find out. So they made a wish of visiting Brindavanam and started chanting His name –Krishna! We should develop this attitude in bhakthi. If we are not able to believe the words of saints or sathguru, as for us bhakthi and Bhagawan are mere dream then we should be ready to at least test it for ourselves. Unless we do that we cannot realize its significance. But once we test it and realise the truth in it then we can never come out of bhakthi. Radhekrishna!

Our cry for the Lord should be such that He will be forced to leave every other thing and come running for us.  Draupathi made a cry like that when she was insulted in the mahasabha raising both her hands. Krishna was playing with Sathyabhama when He heard her cry. At that instant He left everything and came rushing to her help. When Gajendran elephant was in distress he shouted Krishna’s name which made Him rush towards him immediately. Bhagawan also has the same urgency to rescue His devotees. If our call is very sincere and true He can’t sit quiet and watch. He will be forced to come for our rescue; it should be out of full faith. We should surrender absolutely to the Lord. That compels Him to reach us.

Now these two girls dared to bet with Krishna Himself to take them to Brindavan and did chanting His nama in return.

Did the girls succeed in their plans to go to Brindavan. If so then how and what happened with them? If you are really eager to know all about this then chant and wait till our next issue. Till then Radhe Krishna.

Radhe krishna! Crores and crores of radhekrishna and pranams to Guruji Amma and Guruji. This is one of the experiences of their child (sishyai) which reconfirmed the power of namajapam as guruji amma and guruji’s always tell all of us.

 I am working in an IT firm Wipro, and was thinking of a change of job because it would give a good hike in terms of salary. But my confidence level was very low, I doubted whether I’ll be able to get through the interview because it was more than 3 years since I had attended an interview, and the only interview which I attended before was at college (campus interview) where I got selected. So I was postponing this idea for a long time. The other day one of my collegue was telling about walkin interview in TCS, and asked whether I would like to attend it. When I called up Guruji and told about this interview he immediately said go ahead, be cool, enjoy and attend the interview. I was totally amazed by the way Guruji said this, but I took it into my mind. This gave me immence confidence and since I had only one day to prepare, I surrended myself to Guruji Amma, Guruji and did preparations.

Next day was Saturday, after attending Guruji Amma’s bhajan, I told Amma about this and I went totally happy in the way Amma blessed me and gave me tips in attending the interview. Next day was my interview, so before the interview I called up Guruji. He blessed me and told me to take namajapam along with me and attend the interview successfully.

 Next day with Guruji Amma and Guruji’s blessings I went to attend the interview. There were lots and lots of people with many years of experience in my field, who had come to attend the interview. After registration they said that you will have a technical round, a management round and a HR round. I started getting tensed. Immediately I started doing namajapam and surrended to Guruji telling, Guruji I don’t know what I am going to talk, how I am going to answer. I have surrended myself to your feet. I am not going to get tensed or worried, make me talk what I need to. I immediately felt very relaxed and I did not even know how I finished all the rounds. Finally they said, you have successfully cleared all the rounds, so the HR will be calling you in a couple of days to talk about salary negotiations.

I was very happy, more because I had realized the power of my Guruji Amma Guruji’s blessings and namajapam.

 Once this was done, I had to give them a tentative date of joining. Since I wanted to enjoy the Brindavan trip I was planning to give resignation in this company Wipro after the trip, because employees are not allowed to take leave during the notice period. But generally new companies give a maximum of 2 months for you to join. But because of GurujiAmma and Guruji’s grace I rememberd what GurujiAmma and Guruji always say, there is nothing which namajabam cannot do, it can do everything. So on the day when I had to give the confirmation and give the date of joining, I went and got the blessing of GuurjiAmma and left to TCS. I went there and told the HR that I’ll be able to join only after 3 months. They didn’t even ask the reason, and just told me, its ok, finish your medical test before that and come and join in the date which you have specified. I went and told Guruji Amma and Guruji about this and they said its very true that in normal cases companies don’t give you this much time to join, even giving two months time is very rare, but this is really bhagavan’s krupai. RadheKrishna!!!

 What shall I say and how to stop!! With GurujiAmma and Guruji’s grace, their blessings always along with us, life is very enjoyable, in each and every aspect of life they take care of their child (sishyai) who is nothing without them. I feel I have started living life only after getting the darshan of Guruji Amma and Guruji and they taking me as their child. Krishnaa! Only prayer is to be how they want this child to be. RadheKrishna!!! The mercy of Guruji Amma and Guruji cannot be explained in words at all.

 The way Guruji explains and guides in each and every step in life is way beyond words and can never be explained. Beyond all these things the way in which Guruji lets us know what bhakthi is, how we can enjoy bhagavan, how much we loose when we don’t do it, the way in which he explains that Krishnan is the true need to this soul, and how he gives him to us and makes us realize it is really great. Now life seems very meaningful because Guruji has made me to realize that this is a great opportunity to enjoy bhagavan and guru and it is not to be wasted. As Guruji says with namajapam and Gurudhyanam we can surely enjoy bhagavan and Guru. RadheKrishna!
