Sri Guru Charitra adyay - 12

                   Sri Guru Charitra adyay - 12 


                                    As Siddha went on thus recounting the divine acts of Sree Guru, Namadharaka Sharma, who


was listening attentively asked: 'Sir, you have said that Sree Guru left the banks of river Krishna , for the banks of river Bheema. Yet you say that he abides on the banks of the former river as the invisible Spirit, answering the prayers of the devout! Has anyone experienced the truth of this claim?


If so, I long to hear atleast one instance of it'.Siddha began: 'Oh Namadharaka, the Supreme Spirit of Self does not have anything like movement from place to place, location or any particular state of existence. What seems so is but the divine play of the Lord. He will be experienced as per one's own attitude to him.



                                       Sri Guru Charitra adyay - 12


 


Now listen: In course of time, people came to know from Ganganuja how the Lord blessed the Yoginis and assured them of his presence there in spirit. So they worshipped the padukas with due reverence.Indeed, all their wishes were fulfilled. I shall recount one incident.
There was a brahmin lady living in that area. All her children died immediately after. In desperation, she revealed her plight to a pious and learned brahmin priest. The latter was divinely inspired to tell her thus: 'Madam, there can be several karmic causes, belonging to one's previous lives, for the loss of one's children in the present life. It can be the consequence of killing cows, brahmins, dogs, snakes and children, or of stealing other's wealth.


          In your previous life, you unfairly appropriated the wealth of a brahmin of the Sounaka Gotra. He has become a vengeful spirit and has been killing all your children. One is obliged to reap the consequences of one's misdeeds of a
former life.


There is no other way to workout one's past karma. You too shall do so'. The lady could not bear these words. She prostrated to his feet and begged him to teach her a way out of her pitiable plight. The latter replied, 'Madam, perform the religious rites necessary for the elevation of the brahmin's soul to higher realms of existence, along with the special rites of absolution and repentance. Observe such religious vows for a full month. Then take aholy
dip in the Ashtatheertha and worship the sacred padukas and the fig tree. Then feed brahmins and give away
gifts of money plentifully to a pious brahmin of Sounaka Gotra.' The lady submitted, 'I do not have a plentiful store of money.


 

                     I shall certainly observe the monthly vows and worship the padukas'. Subsequently, the brahmin lady. started observing the vow along with her husband. On the third night, the spirit that was killing her offspring appeared in her dream. She immediately ran to Sree Guru who was seated under the fig tree and sought his refuge.                                          Sree Guru consoled her and sternly reprimanded the spirit, 'You, mean spirit! How dare you threaten a helpless woman?' The latter replied, 'Lord, it is not proper for you to be partial to her. She misappropriated my money in her previous life. Inorder to win it back by tormenting her, I have assumed this form'. Sree Guru said, 'By assuming this form and frightening her like this, you will not achieve your salvation. I shall teach you the means of attaining higher realms of being. Listen: It was in a previous life that she deprived you of your wealth.


                                  In this life she is poor and has no means of paying you back. I shall see that she scrupulously performs religious rites which will secure higher states of existence for you and I shall make her offer as much money as she can manage, to a man of your Gotra. Besides, I shall secure liberation for you. If this satisfies you, it is well. If it doesn't, do what you can, but I shall certainly protect her!' The spirit submitted, 'Lord, at the very sight of you, I am freed from the thrall of my evil tendencies. You may do as you please and I shall be satisfied.' Sree Guru turned to the lady and said, 'My dear, did you hear what he said? You do accordingly and he shall be liberated. Thereby, your offspring will prosper'. And the Lord disappeared.
The lady woke up and informed her husband about the dream and acted accordingly. Thereby, she was freed soon from the cursed torment and from the fruits of her former misdeed. Later, Sree Guru again appeared in her dream, gave her two fruits and said, 'My dear, feed brahmins and eat these fruits!' When she woke up, she found the fruits by her side and did as she was told. Soon she conceived and, in course of time, she was blessed with handsome twins.


The happy couple performed all the rites enjoined by sastras and brought up the children with love and tenderness. In their eighth year, they made all the arrangements necessary to invest the first child with the sacred thread. To their amazement, the boy was laid up for a few days with typhoid and died. The mother could not withstand the calamity. She beat her breast and lamented loudly saying, 'My son! Where have you gone? How long will you sleep? Wake up! It's time for lunch. Take your food and play in the frontyard. Your playmates are awaiting you. I cannot live without you. Of the five children born to me, you are my very life. At your birth, all the grief caused by the loss of
earlier children was wiped clean from my heart. Leaving me in the ocean of grief, where did you go? It's cruel on your part to do so. Who will support us in our old age?'

Namadharaka was eager to know the details of the miracle. So, Siddha resumed his account:

"Oh Namadharaka, in a town called Karveer, there lived a brahmin couple. They had a son who was illiterate. People heckled him saying, 'You are indeed an animal without a tail and horns but endowed with only two legs. It is the good fortune of cattle that you do not feed on grass.
Education is a treasure of which no one can be robbed. It grows by being given away to one's disciples. It can make even the lowest of the lowly, a great man. Even a poor man can gain wealththrough the power of education. Like a chaste wife, education affords pleasure and it protects us like a mother. It comes to one's rescue in a crisis, like a friend. In doing good, it is like the father. It's like the guru in enlightening us. You who are devoid of such precious education are indeed a beast'.
The boy felt humiliated. He at once retired to the forest, forswore food and sleep and meditated on the Divine Mother. As she did not grant him her vision, he cut off his tongue and offered it to her and
vowed that he would offer her his head the next day. That night, the Divine Mother appeared in his
dream and said, 'There is a sannyasi on the other bank of the river Krishna. Seek refuge from him. It
will do you good.'


Accordingly, the young man visited Sree Guru the next day and bowed to him in reverence.
Sree Guru placed his hand on the young man's head in blessing. At once the young man regained
his tongue, and also attained mastery over all branches of learning in a trice. There is nothing
strange in this. Such defects as dull-wittedness are destroyed in those who ever meditate on the
sacred feet of Sree Guru, which-have in them such mystic signs as Vajra. What to say then, when the
Lord Himself personally blessed a man? The brahmin youth returned to his native place, Mahurapura,
and by leading a life of spiritual discipline, attained perfection.
Later, Sree Guru set out in the southern direction. After visiting the holy place of the eight
sacred rivers (ashtateertha), he proceeded to the place of the confluence of river Krishna with five
other sacred rivers. Then he reached the western shore and stayed there for some time.

In this video discussion between sidha muni and namadaraka . In this video
Namadharaka wished to know what Sree Guru did after sending away his disciples onpilgrimage. So, Siddha

went on: “Oh Namadharaka, Sree Guru stayed at Vaidyanath for one

year. As I already told you, I stayed away with Him. One day, a Brahmin who was dull-witted

came to him, prostrated in reverence and submitted thus: „I strove hard for spiritual perfection.

But I could gain neither perfection nor even a capable guru. So I now take refuge in you. Please

teach me the way to liberation.‟ Hearing these words, Sree Guru said, „Son, first of all tell me,

who had taught you the way to perfection? Else, how could you

have ever tried for it?‟ TheBrahmin replied, „Swami, I first resorted to a guru. But he was very hard

-hearted. He went on

extracting my services and put me in much hardship. So I deserted him.‟ Sree Guru wasshocked at his words and berated him: „Alas, wh

at have you done! It can never be for yourgood. It is a sin even to look at the face like you, who has deserted his guru. Get away! Indeed,one who is unwilling to bow before his guru in humility, serve him with love or wait on him forinstruction with pa

tience and implicit obedience will never win the grace of the guru.‟ The visitorfelt miserable and said, „Sir how am I to recognize a genuine guru? How to serve him? Ibetrayed my guru out of my ignorance. Please save me!‟

In this chapter discussion between Namadaraka and Siddha muni they discussion about Gokarna KSHETRA importance how the maha baleswara lingam form in gokarna and the history of Gokarna.

 

The earliest history of the city is in Tretayuga, Ravana (Demon/Asura King of Lanka) reaches Kailasa and performed rigorous penance to get the "Atma Linga" from Lord Shiva, as Ravana's mother expressed a keen desire to worship the atmalinga of Lord Shiva.[5][6] After a long penance, Shiva gave the Atma linga to Ravana as a boon and instructs Ravana to carry it home by walk, that he should never place it on the earth even for a short while failing which the linga would get eternally embedded at the place where he broke his commands.

Lord Maha Vishnu learned that Ravana will become all powerful by worshipping the 'Atma Linga' and menace to the world and Ravana's conviction that nobody could defeat him, once he acquired the very power of Shiva. Maha vishnu devised a plan to install the linga somewhere and as he thought that Lord Ganapati was alone capable of doing it, he along with all the gods pleased Ganapati to execute the plan. Lord Ganapati accepts and reaches Gokarna as a Brahmin boy.

As Ravana was nearing Gokarna, Maha Vishnu who had known well that Ravana was punctual in performing his periodical rites (Sandyavandhana), hides sun with his Sudarshana Chakra (Wheel). Thinking that it was time to perform the evening rites, Ravana finds a Brahmin boy and asked him to hold the Atmalinga in his hand till he came back after finishing the rites. Ganapati agreed to hold the linga on one condition that he would do so till he would be able to bear the weight of linga and that thereafter he would call Ravana three times and if failed to come to him by then he would place the linga on the earth.

Ganapati calls Ravana three times when he was performing his rites and places the linga on the earth and he vanished. The Atmalinga at once got firmly entrenched in the earth. Ravana learned that he had been tricked by the Gods. The depressed demon king Ravana was deeply agitated and tried to pull up the linga, but the linga did not budge a little. It resulted in his throwing the coverings of the Linga to Dhareshwara, Gunavanteshwara, Murudeshwara and Shejjeshwar temples. Ravana was unable to lift the linga from the ground again and called the shiva linga as Mahabala, one with great strength, and ever since, the linga illustrious as Mahabaleshwara. Shiva learned all these from Vayu Deva, the god of wind, and came on to Earth with Goddess Parvathi devi and his train of Gods, he visited these five places and worshipped the linga which had now taken five forms. He acknowledged that these five places would be his "Pancha Kshetras
