[Guruvayur/Guruvayoor] interesting questions-answers

[Guest guest]

This is very good Balagopalji. I had read the discourse between Yuddhisthira and the yaksha (it is his father, right, Dharmaraj?) when in school..don't remember where. But when you posted the questions, I did not know a single answer. These are eye-openers. Maybe when you are done, we can compile them and Sunil can put them on the website? I had mailed him about doing likewise with Sunitaji's Vishnusahasranamam and Sarojaji's Narada bhakti sutras...these are real gems and not commonly available. If both Sunitaji and Sarojaji allow, we can upload these compilations to the website, after giving them proper credits. I think Seemaji is already compiling the Vishnu sahasranamam slokas. I could do this for the Narada bhakti sutras. From your post, I found the answer "the mother is weightier than the earth, the father higher than the heavens" very interesting. Our scriptues always hold Mother in high esteem. "kuputro jayeta kvacidapi kumata na

bhavati"....A son can be bad, but a bad mother there never can be. ... Is it possible to elaborate more on this from your readings? I understand parents are God's representatives on earth :-) but if you can supplement with some interesting pointers that would be nice.

asked, 'What is of the foremost value to those that cultivate? What is of the foremost value to those that sow? What is of the foremost value to those that wish for prosperity in this world? And what is of the foremost value to those that bring forth?' Yudhishthira answered, 'That which is of the foremost value to those that cultivate is rain: that of the foremost value to those that sow is seed: that of the foremost value to those that bring forth is offspring. 4)The Yaksha asked, 'What is weightier than the earth itself? What is higher than the heavens?' What is fleeter than the wind? And what is more numerous than grass?' Yudhishthira answered, 'The mother is weightier than the earth; the father is higher than the heaven; the mind is fleeter than the wind; and our thoughts are more numerous than grass.' 5)The Yaksha asked, 'What is that which doth not

close its eyes while asleep; What is that which doth not move after birth? What is that which is without heart? And what is that which swells with its own impetus?' Yudhishthira answered, 'A fish doth not close its eyes while asleep: an egg doth not move after birth: a stone is without heart: and a river swelleth with its own impetus.' 6)The Yaksha asked, 'Who is the friend of the exile? Who is the friend of the householder? Who is the friend of him that ails? And who is the friend of one about to die?' Yudhishthira answered, 'The friend of the exile in a distant land is his companion, the friend of the householder is the wife; the friend of him that ails is the physician: and the friend of him about to die is charity.

Veenaji's suggestion is a very good one. I have also

read the questions and answers a few years back and I

had also forgotten it. It will be a good idea to

compile it.

Sunithaji has posted Vishnusahasranamam in file

section.

Jai Sree krishna
