Sankaracharya's Love towards Mother!

[Guest guest]

Krishna,Dear devotees of Lord Hari, || Maathru devo bhavah ||At Kaladi, Aryamba (Mother of Sankaracharya) was very sick and was remembering her son.

 

By telepathy, the Acharya heard her call. He immediately meditated and requested Sri Krishna to appear in front of His mother.

 

 

His disciples knew something was happening, and kept quiet. " My mother

is thinking of me on her death-bed. I have promised her that at the

moment of her death I shall be present at her feet. I have to go to my

mother without any delay". The Acharya exercised his Yogic powers and

reached his mother in Kalady.

 

Aryamba was more or less unconscious. Like all mothers, she was

reminiscing her days with her child Sankara. She wished to see him for

one last time. She heard her son’s voice and opened her eyes slowly..

What a surprise! She was lying in the lap of her Sankara!

 

“Sticking to my life has not gone wasteâ€, she thought. “I have seen my

son, I have felt him also; now I can hear his sweet voice as wellâ€.

 

 

“Amma, Amma, can you see me? I am your Sankara. I have come all the way to see you, Amma.â€

 

“Sankara! How can I not recognize you? You told me that you would

come to me during my last days, when I think of you. I can think of you

only if I have forgotten you, Sankara! But now, I did not want to

disturb you. So I was removing you from my mind! Oh! I am unable to do

that, Sankara. Why did you leave all your work and come to me?†Aryamba

wanted to say these words, but was not in a position to do so.

 

But Acharya realised what she wanted to say. “Amma, I have also

lived the life of what you imagined! I was a King, Amma. For a full

month, I was a King! But, I am happier as a Sanyasin. Happiness is

inside, and one cannot look for it, outsideâ€.

 

Aryamba was not in a position to listen or understand. As per her

wish, Acharya invoked Lord Shiva. The Lord sent his messengers to bring

Aryamba to Shiva Loka. But Aryamba was frightened at the sight of the

terrible-looking messengers, who were adorned with snakes and tridents.

She said, " Sankara! How terrible they look! I will not go with them".

 

Acharya then meditated on Narayana, and the Lord, holding the

conch, discuss, mace and lotus in his hands, appeared before Aryamba,

Very happy at this sight of her beloved deity, Aryamba blessed her son

profusely.

 

By then, the messengers of Sri Vishnu had also appeared there in a

beautiful flying chariot. It was as if Aryamba's house had been

transformed into Vaikuntha. Then the messengers took her soul up on the

flying chariot to Vishnu Loka. Aryamba thus reached the lotus feet of

the Lord.

 

The Acharya considered himself blessed at being able to be present

near her in her last moment and provide for her salvation by making

possible, the sight of her cherished God.
