Story of Sisupala - Courtesy Shri R. Srinivasan.

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

===================================================================

Those who wish to know the story which is in a compressed version

written by Shri R. Srinivasan in the net in one of the Indian

sites. The story is dealth with in the great epic Mahabarata.

====================================================================

 

 

""""""When Rajasuya sacrifice concluded there yet was a formality to

be completed. The foremost amongst all was to be honoured at a

special function. This was a very delicate task that could cause

severe embarrassment and serious repercussions. When Yudhishthira

was wondering who should be the principal guest of honour, his

youngest brother Sahadeva, the wisest among men, stood up and

stressed that Sri Krishna alone was qualified for the signal honour.

`He is Lord Narayana incarnate. He is the creator, the protector,

the destroyer, the all pervasive Vishnu all rolled in to one in the

form of Krishna. In honouring him he will only be honouring

ourselves!

 

Sahadeva's wise words were endorsed by everyone present as they all

knew he has spoken nothing but the truth. When Yudhishthira was

about offer the `agra poja` to Sri Krishna with great joy in his

heart, Sisupala stood up in his seat and stormed aloud." Enough of

this foolishness, there should be a limit to all this contrived tom-

foolery. Who is this Krishna? Only a cowherd who has no right to sit

amidst royalty. There are so many other eminent personages here who

deserve this honour.. Without choosing any of them, you have chosen

this thief, born in a prison, brought up in acowshed, whose

companions were all rustics without any education and culture at

all!

 

Sisupala, the son of Damagosha, went on raving and ranting like this

for quite some time. Meantime, Krishna, dropped on by one, flowers

with which he was worshipped earlier. He was meticulously counting

the insults heaped on him by Sisupala so blasphemously, so

thoughtlessly. He took care not to count the same insult thrown at

Him a second time by Sisupala. If the insult was a very common one,

even that was ignored. He respected his promise to his aunt, mother

of Sisupala, given at the time of Sisupala's birth. Sisupala had

been careful so far and was avoiding one hundred offences in a

sequence.

 

But, now, his hatred of Sri Krishna obsessed him so much that he

forgot everything and kept on hurling vituperative abuses, one after

the other, in quick succession. Sri Krishna, in all fairness, must

have counted one hundred and fifty such abuse before He summoned His

divine discus and sent it hurtling at Sisupala's neck. Even as the

vile Sisupala was rushing at Sri Krishna, with his raised sword, and

hurling more and more abuses, the discus met him half - way and

severed his body from his head. But, wonder of wonders, a sudden

ethereal glow emanated from the body of Siupala, reached the lotus

feet of Sri Krishna and was lost to view.

 

One of the twin door-keepers (Dwarapalakas of the Lord at Vaikunta,

Jaya, by name, had served his accursed term of being the Lord's

enemy for three births and had attained long-awaited blessed release

from the curse of sages.

 

The Rajasuya function, the special function of honouring the Lord

Sri Krishna, could now be completed without any further hindrance.

The Lord Sri Krishna, enjoyed the hospitality of the Pandavas for

some more days before He returned to His own city Dwaraka… Now,

Dandavakra, the other gate-keeper at Vaikunta, Vijaya, was waiting

for his redemption."""""""""""

Dear Ravindramani,

 

Yes, this is basically the same story as it was told to me. In the

story I was told, Vijay, a very high soul, very loving, very honest,

went to Brahma loka when he died (as he'd been told he would); and,

in his eagerness to see Brahma, he tripped and fell over a little

Ashwini Kumara who cursed him to a thousand more lives. Devastated,

Vijay pleaded with Brahma to lift the curse. Unfortunately Brahma

could not lift the curse completely so he told Vijay he would give

him a choice.

 

1) You can live 10 lives as a great saint; everyone will love you,

you will give everyone back to themselves, speak only of God; your

whole life will be cared for so sweetly; always the flowers will

come, always the nectar will come into the people you are with. Your

death will be a great honour.

 

OR...

 

You can live 3 lives as a demon. No one will like you; you'll live a

miserable life, everyone will hate you, and you will die a violent

death.

 

Vijay said, "Lord, I'll take 3 lives as a demon - it's much quicker

getting home". Immediately Vijay was placed into the womb of

Krishna's cousin (I think it was?). As the story was told to me he

(Sisupala) was born with three eyes and four arms. Brahma told

Sisupala's mother that as soon as the child was placed on the lap of

the one who would kill him, one eye would recede, two arms would

recede, and the child would be normal. And, of course, as soon as he

was placed on Krishna's lap, this is what happened.

 

......so the story goes on :-)

 

To me, the crux of this story is that we don't (really) know another

person. We may think we know by looking at their karma in this

life...but what do we truly know about the people we're looking at

and (often) judging.

 

I think it's a beautiful story :-))

 

Best Wishes,

Mrs. Wendy
