Guest guest Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 QUESTION) jai srimannarayana sir, what is the lifehistory of shabari(ramayana)? kunchakarra rama ANS: ACCORDING VALMIKI, SABARI WAS A HUNTER LADY, LIVING IN THE HERMITAGE OF SAGE MATHANGA. HIS DISCIPLES WERE HER GURUS. THEY WERE TAKING CARE OF HER, SINCE HER CHILDHOOD. SHE WAS DOING SERVICE THERE TILL THEIR DEPARTURE. THEY INFORMED HER THAT Lord RAMA IS GOING TO VISIT THIS ASRAMAM AND THEIR GURU'S GREATNESS SHOULD BE EXPLAINED TO HIM. THOSE DISCIPLES OF SAGE MATHANGA SAID THEY ARE WERE NOT ABLE TO PROLONG THEIR LIFE TIME AND HENCE THEY WERE LEAVING THEIR BODIES. SABARI THUS INSTRUCTED BY HER GURUS WAITED FOR 13 LONG YEARS FOR LORD SRIRAMA TO COME TO HER PLACE. ULTIMATELY HE AND HIS BROTHER LAKSHMANA VISITED THAT ASRAMAM. THEY HAD INTERACTION WITH HER AND WITH THEIR ACCEPTANCE, SHE LEFT THE BODY IN THE SELF-CREATED FIRE AND ACQUIRED A DIVINE BODY AND REACHED THE LOTUS FEER OF HER GURUS. THIS IS THE STORY AVAILABLE IN SRI RAMAYANAM. =Chinnajeeyar= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
